【015】Mysterious customer
In broad daylight, when ordinary people enter a gift shop, they will feel an inexplicable sense of sadness and fear. In the gift shop, there are various types of paper cell phones, cars, motorcycles, everything that exists in the human world.
All.
There are not many customers who come during the day. Unless it is Ghost Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, or other death anniversaries, the store is slightly more popular. The rest of the time, it is deserted, and people who pass by here stop. Who wants to come in if nothing happens?
But at night, especially after twelve o'clock, there were so many customers that Zhang Heng was overwhelmed. As a last resort, Zhong Kui occasionally came to help.
Is anyone curious? This is a gift shop. What kind of customers would come to patronize it at twelve o'clock? Think about it carefully and you will understand! Those who come during that special time are either 'humans' or ghosts!
Ghost coins can only be circulated in sacrifice shops. Wait, let me explain first: not all sacrifice shops can circulate ghost coins. At least there is only one in City A, and that is Zhongkui Sacrifice Shop, which can use ghost coins to exchange for sacrifices.
Store items.
The underworld is similar to the human world. There are rich and poor. Those who linger in the dark corners and poke their heads at the door of the gift shop are the poor ghosts. For example, the three leprouss are a prodigal in the human world, and they have lost all their family property. Their relatives in the world
Hate him, no one remembers him after his death, and no one burns ghost coins and items for him during ghost festivals and other festivals.
The three leprous men were drunkards in the human world and bad gamblers after death. In the end, they were forced to come to the human world with no shame and beg Zhong Kui for money. Thanks to Zhong Kui's guidance and warning, he was able to correct his mistakes and finally became the underworld.
A policeman—should now be called an underworld civil servant.
A large pile of traded ghost coins was placed in front of Zhang Heng. He counted the piles one by one and tied them carefully with kraft paper tapes...
Because of the Ghost Festival, a large number of ghosts have money in their hands, so they come to the gift shop after twelve o'clock to buy their favorite items. Once the transaction is completed, Zhang Heng collects the payment, and Zhong Kui counts the items sold.
They would transport it to a secluded place and burn it for them.
At this moment, a line of various souls were lined up in front of Zhong Kui. They were all lonely ghosts wandering outside the store.
"Remember, for what I have given you today, when I need you one day, you will have to work hard to compensate me." Zhong Kui put his hands behind his back, with a majestic look, staring at each of them with a slightly bent head, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
The ghosts said firmly.
Suddenly, he looked up and looked outside the door, on the quiet and dark road...
The street lights on this section of the road keep breaking down for some unknown reason, and replacing them every three days is not an option. In addition, this section of the road attracts no passers-by in the dead of night, and in the end the maintenance workers are too lazy to take care of it. Therefore, this is the most famous place in City A.
The Black Triangle area is also one of the hot topics for those who have nothing to do after dinner. Legend has it that this stretch of road is eerie and scary at night, but there has never been any abnormal accident.
Of course, no one knows who is in charge of this stretch of road. With Zhong Kui here, those ghosts dare to cause trouble?
Chen Jun and Xu Bin didn't dare to express their anger and hid quietly in the car. They mustered up their courage and trembled to see Zhong Kui walking back and forth on the empty ground with his hands behind his back. It seemed that his mouth was saying something important.
thing.
Chen Jun was very surprised. He had clearly seen some shadowy figures just now. When he looked intently now, he only saw Zhang Heng and Zhong Kui, and no one else could be seen.
Zhang Heng also felt that Zhong Kui was looking outside.
"Uncle Zhong, what are you looking at?"
Zhong Kui raised his nose with his fingers, flicked his fingertips and said: "They are coming, hurry up." After saying that, he waved his hand to the ghosts who had benefited and said: "My friends are outside, don't do anything.
Harass them and leave!"
Zhang Heng quickly put the coins in a linen bag, picked them up and carried them to the hut.
Chen Jun and Xu Bin saw Zhong Kui's eyes glaring, walking step by step towards where they parked their car.
"Has he seen us?" Xu Bin was so nervous that his heart was beating wildly...
Chen Jun took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement and fear. "Isn't this nonsense?" If Zhong Kui were a human, he could definitely see them hiding under the banyan tree.
Sure enough, Zhong Kui walked straight towards them and put his hand on the dark car very accurately. "Crack!" "Still not coming out?" Zhong Kui shouted like he was chatting up an old acquaintance.
Chen Jun and Xu Bin looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and each opened the car door and stepped out.
After getting out of the car door, the night wind blew, and everyone made their own guesses. No matter how brave you are, Zhong Kui is standing in front of you alive, but you feel inexplicable fear in your heart. After Xu Bin had a cold war, he asked in a disguised manner.
: "Good guy, you still..."
Zhong Kui continued: "Yes, I'm still alive..." In the darkness, his black uniform blended into the night, giving people an indescribable sense of mystery. His eyes were like the sharp night vision of a dark elf.
Eyes see everything...
Chen Jun was slightly embarrassed. After all, peeping is an immoral act, no matter who it is aimed at...
"Hey, hello, Uncle Zhong."
"Okay!" Zhong Kui patted Xu Bin generously, "Let's go sit in the store?"
"Are you going?" Xu Bin looked at Chen Jun with a questioning tone.
"Go, of course."
Zhang Heng finished packing and saw Chen Jun and Xu Bin coming in. He looked shy and nodded with a smile as a greeting.
The three of them went into the back room and sat down, and Zhang Heng brought them supper. Three bowls of white fungus soup, mixed with jujubes, and a sweet and greasy taste wafted out from the light heat.
Zhong Kui saw the hesitation of the two of them, and a voice from Xuanwai said: "Eat it! It will warm you up and drive away the coldness."
Chen Jun didn't say much, quickly picked up the spoon, stirred it, and started eating in big mouthfuls.
Xu Bin seemed to have some scruples, looking around, completely losing his appetite...
"There are those things in the store, and your bodies are not suitable for staying here for a long time. I asked Zhang Heng to make this white fungus soup for you. Only by eating it can you avoid damage."
Since there are such benefits, Xu Bin is not a fool. He took action and swallowed a large bowl of Tremella soup in three mouthfuls faster than Chen Jun.
Getting back to the topic, "Are you coming to me about the recent bizarre cases?" Zhong Kui's sharp gaze scanned the two people's faces.
"Yes, Wenwen's mother, Aunt Luo..."
Zhong Kui waved his hand and said solemnly: "I know she is gone."
Xu Bin and Chen Jun looked at each other again, their eyes full of surprise.
"I know everything. With Rongrong here, Wenwen is not in danger for the time being."
