The years of reselling the haunted house

"You can eat whatever you want..." Third Uncle dropped a sentence, waved his hand, and prepared to leave with Master Jiu and me.

"Ah? Don't...don't, Master Dao, you mean I'm hopeless, don't you?" Wang Sihai hurried over to stop us, and dragged Third Uncle back.

The third uncle said seriously: "When I first came in, I felt that something was wrong with you, but I was not so sure. When you lost your temper with me just now, I saw what was wrong. To tell you the truth, Your situation will become more and more serious, and now you sweat three times a day, and it will gradually increase to five times. If it reaches five times, the coldness of your body will invade the blood vessels and even blood vessels, and your diarrhea will become worse at that time. It's getting stronger and stronger, I'm afraid the gods will be hard to save."

Speaking of this, Wang Sihai suddenly seemed to think of something, he looked at us suspiciously again, and said: "I see, I understand, do you think I am stupid? I have been ill for a while, Everyone around me knows it. Did you know about my illness in advance, are you here to deceive me? Do you want me to buy your medicine next? Is it a high price? Let me tell you, I, Wang Sihai, am not a vegetarian and want to cheat I have no money, no door, I..."

The more Wang Sihai spoke, the more excited he became. As he was talking, his face suddenly changed. I could clearly see his face turning pale. At the same time, he was covering his stomach with his hands, unable to speak.He staggered, trying to go back.It seemed that his diarrhea had flared up again, and he wanted to go to the latrine to solve it.

The third uncle jumped up and grabbed him.

"You...what are you doing?" Wang Sihai asked through gritted teeth, his forehead sweating.

Uncle San took out a plaster from his bag and handed it to Wang Sihai: "Trust me, put this on your belly button. Don't worry, I don't need your money."

Wang Sihai took the plaster, rolled his eyes, finally untied his clothes, and stuck the plaster on his belly button.

Master Jiu was stunned and looked at me again.He probably didn't know when Third Uncle started making plasters.

I smiled at him, if the third uncle's behavior style was figured out, it wouldn't be Li Dagang.

After Wang Sihai put on the plaster, he could clearly feel the change in his mood.It turned out that he was in a hurry to go to the latrine. After putting on the plaster, it seemed that the effect was immediate. His frowning eyebrows were also relaxed, and his expression became relaxed.

After two or three minutes, Wang Sihai went over and grabbed the third uncle's hand: "Genius doctor, no, you are a god, you are a living god, I have been sick for so long, and you put on the plaster and put me on it." It’s cured, tell me, how much is the plaster, I’ll buy it for as much as it costs.”

The third uncle broke Wang Sihai's hand away, and said flatly: "The door sealant can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. So no matter how much money you give, I will not sell it. If it can't be cured by then, it will smash my brand name."

I saw that Uncle San's plaster looked familiar just now, it turned out to be door-sealing plaster.During the period when I extinguished a natal lamp, my shoulders often hurt, and then my third uncle put door plaster on me.It is said that this plaster is his secret formula, which promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, detoxifies and nourishes yang. If the light on my shoulder goes out, it means that yang energy is lacking. It is suitable to stick this plaster.

Looking at it now, Wang Sihai's situation is similar to mine, and his symptoms at this time should also be caused by the lack of Yang Qi.The door sealing cream can add a little yang energy to him, so it can relieve his symptoms to a certain extent.

Hearing what Uncle San said, Wang Sihai even thought that Uncle San could save himself.He changed his attitude again and begged humbly.He is a person who can bend and stretch, and this ability is also admirable.

Chapter 1713

Wang Sihai's behavior changed very quickly. He was still fierce and suspicious just now, but now he sincerely prayed, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and almost knelt down to the third uncle.

We have been walking in the world for a long time, and we have seen many people with this personality.

The third uncle is not surprised by this, and he is not surprised by favor or disgrace.

"Boss Wang, I've said it before. I don't know medicine, and it's not that I don't want to save you. It's just that your condition is a little serious. I can see that you have a coldness in your body. There is an ancient book: Yin and coldness in your body, cold still Adjustable, yin is irreversible. The pulse of yin and cold is the same as that of heaven and man. There are dense clouds above, and frost and rain pour down below..."

As soon as the third uncle said a few inscrutable words, he really confused Wang Sihai again: "Master, what... what do you mean?"

Wang Sihai changed his address with the third uncle again and again, from Taoist priest, to genius doctor, to immortal and then to master. It can be seen that the third uncle changed Wang Sihai's impression of himself in a short period of time.

The more this is the case, the more Wang Sihai admires the third uncle.

The third uncle continued to explain: "It means that your body is yin and cold now, and yin and cold should be separated. Cold can be treated with medicine, but yin can't be helped. You can only use yang to supplement it. But what you supplement now Yang Qi can’t resist the increase of Yin Qi at all, you can’t make ends meet, understand? So there is no solution to your disease.”

"Yin Qi, why do I have so much Yin Qi entering my body?" Wang Sihai finally understood, and asked in puzzlement.

"I can help you take a look at this." The third uncle approached Wang Sihai, looked at him from head to toe, touched him from head to toe with his hands, and finally focused on the finger on that hand.

The third uncle grabbed Wang Sihai's hand and looked at it, heaved a sigh of relief: "I see, the reason is on the finger. If I read correctly, you won't wear this thing for too long. There are three The time of the month?"

Wang Sihai nodded frequently: "Yes, yes, it's been about three months. Master, is there a problem with this finger?"

The third uncle snorted coldly: "It's a big problem. Where did this finger pull come from?"

"This finger...this finger..." Wang Sihai hesitated to speak.

"I know it even if you don't tell me. Nine times out of ten this finger is something underwater, right? This thing should be a funerary object, and it has been hidden underwater for many years. It is even more evil. How dare you wear it? It is because you have enough yang energy that you have survived for so long, otherwise, I am afraid you would have..."

While speaking, Uncle San kept shaking his head.

"Since it's the reason for the finger pull, is it okay if I take it off? There is no Yin Qi entering the body, and if I take some Yang Qi-replenishing medicine, it should be fine, right?"

As he said that, Wang Sihai wanted to take off the finger, but he couldn't take it off after trying several times, as if the finger was welded to his finger.Wang Sihai blushed and gasped for breath.

The third uncle waved his hand: "It's useless, even if you take it off, it's already too late. Once the coldness invades, all the pores of your body will become entrances. The pores of the human body originally have a certain shielding function, and the coldness molecules in the air It can be blocked from the outside. But once these pores are opened and undefended, the cold air in the air will enter through your pores. Unless you isolate yourself from the air."

"Then what should I do? Master, you really want to save me... Someone gave me this finger ring, but he told me that it can be collected, but it must not be worn. I couldn't bear it because I saw how good this thing is." live on the hand."

Wang Sihai was finally completely convinced, and knelt down with a plop.

The third uncle hurriedly pulled Wang Sihai up, and said, "No way, monks can't bear this. I've known for a long time that this finger ring is not yours, but someone gave it to you. If Pindao is not mistaken, this finger ring is yours." That old customer gave it to you, right?"

In fact, we all understand that this finger pull should be given to Wang Sihai by Murong Yu.This can be seen from what happened before.

But Wang Sihai didn't know this, so he was deeply impressed by the third uncle's judgment.

"Yes, that's right, he gave it to you." Wang Sihai nodded and admitted.

"Pindao has already figured it out, so I asked you before, whether your regular customer came to pick up the goods, or you delivered them to the door. Unexpectedly, Boss Wang thought I was going to steal your business. It's ridiculous."

"So that's the case. That's my fault. But master, if you ask this, does it have anything to do with my illness?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. I suspect that the old customer left this finger on purpose for you. Let me ask you, have you ever offended that old customer of yours?"

Wang Sihai scratched his head: "If you offend...it seems that he owed me half a year's payment and didn't pay me. I sent him a message, and the words were ugly, saying that if he didn't settle the payment for me again, I would take Someone to kill him. Later, he sent someone to send me this finger, saying that it was to cover the payment. I found someone to look at it. It is an object from the Qing Dynasty. It is a good thing. But I did not agree to the payment Half a year, he said it could only last for two months. He also agreed, saying that he would deposit it with me first, and then redeem it when he has money..."

I smiled wryly in my heart, this Wang Sihai was really calculating to the extreme in his business.If this finger is calculated according to the market price, not to mention half a year's payment, it is easy to make a small fortune after selling it.

The third uncle nodded: "That's it. You shouldn't speak harshly to him, and the situation is out of control now. This finger-wringing is not only yin, but I feel that there may be a curse on it. So I want to solve it completely , I can only find your regular customer."

"Curse...curse? Is it so serious? Then I'm in trouble, even if I find him, I don't dare to do anything to him."

"Hey... Who let the poor Taoist catch up with others? God has the virtue of good life, and the poor Taoist has practiced Taoism for many years. It is also the duty of the poor Taoist to relieve the suffering of the people. The poor Taoist still has some names in the Tao, maybe This regular customer is an acquaintance of Pindao. If Boss Wang is willing, Pindao can go there for you."

This matter until now, the third uncle finally revealed his true intentions.

All the communication with Wang Sihai before this was to pave the way for this matter.I suspect that what the third uncle said is true or not. It is true that Wang Sihai's body is cold, but it is doubtful whether it is so serious.

But at this time, Wang Sihai had to believe that he probably had to comply with any request from the third uncle.

Sure enough, after the third uncle finished speaking, Wang Sihai hurriedly said: "Master, if you can really help me, I will be very grateful. After the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you with a lot of money. I didn't suspect you to steal my business before, it was just because the regular customer Please don’t let me reveal a word. Otherwise, my business will not be done, and my grocery store will not be able to open. You said that my family relies on this grocery store, so I treat you like that .”

Chapter 1714 Midnight Carriage

At this time, when I look at this Wang Sihai again, he looks cowardly.

I don't know if the ferocious look he showed just now was just pretending, or if he was fooled by the third uncle, he was completely convinced and didn't dare to show any more fierce looks.

When he mentioned that regular customer, there was clearly no luster in his eyes, which was completely showing weakness.A person who scares him so much, how dare he utter bad words to demand payment?

Seeing him like this, I couldn't figure it out, so I tentatively asked: "Boss Wang, are you so afraid of this old customer? Is there anyone else in this town who you are afraid of?"

Wang Sihai listened, his expression was a little unnatural, nodded and said: "Forget it, I will tell you all. I admit that I am a person who loves money. I was not afraid of him before. After I got this finger-wrench After that, I felt that the old customer must have other treasures in his hands, so I went to urge him to pay the money again after a while, and if there is no money, I will pay for it. I didn’t expect to make him anxious again this time. One night when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt chilly around me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a figure standing in front of me. There was a strong smell of water on my body. I wanted to get up but couldn’t move my body. I I heard a voice telling me, tell me not to be greedy, or I will die without knowing how to die, and don’t tell others about the regular customer. I couldn’t speak even if I opened my mouth, and then the figure disappeared. , I was able to get out of bed, I thought it was my hallucination, but then I saw a pool of water stains where the man was standing, and I realized that what I saw was not a hallucination. At that time, he just killed me, and I even resisted. No chance."

Having said that, the few of us looked at each other again. Obviously, that figure is very likely to be Murong Sturgeon.

This grocery store is the only way for him to communicate with the outside world, and he must be foolproof.

But the next problem came again. If Murong Yu was only in Jingjiang Ancient Village alone, he wouldn't have to be so troublesome.The goods he buys every time seem to be quite a lot. Could it be that there are other people with Murong Yu?

In addition, he tried his best to keep the secret of Jingjiang Ancient Village. What is there in Jingjiang Ancient Village that cannot be known to the outside world?

The third uncle nodded and said: "Boss Wang, anyway, I have explained your physical condition clearly. The only way now is to find that regular customer, and I can find a way to get him to lift the curse, otherwise I am afraid that you will not live for two months." .”

Wang Sihai nodded frequently: "I understand. But in fact, I have never met that regular customer. Every time I deliver the goods to the designated place for him, and then I leave. He will send someone to pick up the goods."

The third uncle said: "Then do you have any goods to send to him recently? Your physical condition should not be delayed for too long."

"Tonight, I can deliver the goods tonight. I have already prepared the goods for this month. Come over at eleven o'clock in the evening, and you can go with my goods. Every time I come back after delivering the goods, you can Wait there to see if you can wait until that regular customer comes to pick up the goods."

"Why evening delivery?" I asked.

Wang Sihai said: "This is what the old customer asked for, and I can't help it."

The third uncle nodded: "Okay, we'll come back at night."

Saying that, Uncle San waved his hand, and we left the Sihai store and went back to the hotel along that street.

In the grocery store, Master Jiu didn’t say a word. When he came back, he asked Third Uncle, “Dong Bin, is everything you said true?”

"Are you asking about Wang Sihai's body? Basically all of them are true, except that the curse is fake, and there is no curse on him. The coldness on his body can be cured as long as you take off the wrench and adjust it properly. Want to It's not easy to take off the wrench, but I can still do it if I make a move. I said this because I want him to take us to find Murong Yu."

Master Jiu nodded: "It's true, it's false, it's false. Even we ourselves can't judge the truth of what you said, let alone Wang Sihai. You can fool him enough. "

The third uncle smiled: "What if we don't do this? Wang Sihai is also a ruthless person. If we don't get him, how can he cooperate with us? But from him, it can be seen that this Murong Sturgeon is not a good stubble either?"

Master Jiu said: "He can be selected as one of the thirteen evil spirits of the Taoist sect. Not everyone can call him the name of water ghost. I know him well. In short, when we go to him this time, we need to be prepared to accept any result."

We had a brief discussion. Although we were burning with anxiety and the four days were decreasing little by little, we could only wait for the arrival of midnight on the first day.

We simply ate something and stayed in the hotel.I sat near the window and looked out into the street.

This Anqi Town is really like Jiu Ye said, there are very few people, and most of them are local people, and few foreign vehicles can be seen.

Even such an Anqi Town is the only relatively large town within a radius of dozens of kilometers.If you don't come here in person, it's really hard to imagine that such a place exists in modern society.

Master Jiu said that it is said that the relevant departments have done research and want to cancel this town and merge it into another town [-] kilometers away.Build a hydrological observatory at the original site of Anqi Town.

However, this idea has been around for a long time and has never been implemented.With this statement, no one is willing to invest and develop in this town, so this Anqi Town exists alive and well.

Whether the town is prosperous or not is not important to us, on the contrary, it is easier for us to act with fewer people.

Since we had something on our minds, no one slept, so we waited at the hotel until almost eleven o'clock, and we set off.

The grocery store was not far away, so we didn't drive, but took the necessary equipment and rushed to the Four Seas store.

From a distance, we saw a car parked in front of the store, which was full of goods.When we got closer, we realized that the car was not a car, but a carriage. There was a person sitting on the shaft, who should be driving the car.

In this era, horse-drawn carriages are still used to transport goods?I don't know if this is Wang Sihai's intention to save money, or it is also in response to Murong Yu's request.

Wang Sihai was waiting in front of the door. When he saw us coming, he waved his hand first, and the driver waved his whip. The carriage started and walked down the street.

There was a crisp sound of horseshoes on the street, which was very clear.

Wang Sihai whispered to us: "The guy in my shop is driving the car, you can't show up, you can only follow from a distance."

Chapter 1715 Repeated Road

It can be seen that Wang Sihai agreed to cooperate with us because of helplessness. On the one hand, he was forced by his own cold and cold disease, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the threat of the regular customer, so he had to do so.In this way, even if we are discovered, he can shirk responsibility.

Before the third uncle left, he handed Wang Sihai an envelope and told him to wait three days before opening it. If he read it in advance, he would be at his own risk.

At this time, Wang Sihai had no doubts about his third uncle, so he nodded in agreement.

We don't care what Wang Sihai thinks, the most urgent thing is to follow this carriage, hoping to find some clues about Murong Yu.

As for Wang Sihai's yin-cold disease, the envelope given to him by the third uncle stated how to recuperate and some precautions. If he recuperated according to the above method, he should be able to recover in about a month.At that time, the wrench will naturally come off.

At this time, the moonlight shone on this cold street, and there was nothing moving in our sight except the carriage.

The moonlight cast the shadow of the carriage on the street, dragging it for a long time.

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, the feeling of desolation and loneliness suddenly increased.

We followed the carriage at a distance, and were soon out of town by the street.This town is not big at all. After walking out, the surrounding buildings suddenly decreased, and there were more river stones and trees.

It should be to prevent flooding, along the embankment of the river, a lot of trees were planted, and a lot of river rocks were built.In the middle of those woods, there is a sidewalk that goes through it.

Both sides were blocked by trees, and most of the moonlight was blocked, making the dirt road very dark.On the carriage in front, a red lantern was also lit.

I don't know if it was arranged by Wang Sihai in advance, which makes it easy for us to track, and we don't need to get too close.

We didn't want to scare the snake so quickly, so we fell far behind, only aiming at the red light.

I am not surprised by Murong Yu's request to deliver after eleven o'clock in the evening.It's like Jiuye would choose to act at night when he came out of the river. These people say they are people in the Taoist sect, but due to long-term dealings with things like sunken corpses and river tombs, their behavior style has become very different from ordinary people. .

Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was not fast, and the driver probably did not let the horse run on purpose, or maybe he was afraid that it would damage the goods on the carriage.So the sound of horseshoes coming from the front has been very slow, and the speed of the car is also very slow. We followed from a distance without any pressure.

We kept such a state and followed for more than half an hour. Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock at midnight.But the carriage still showed no sign of stopping.

I couldn't hold back anymore, so I asked third uncle and ninth master in a low voice: "Should we catch up and see, and ask the driver how far he is, so we can count. "

Master Jiu nodded, looked around, and said, "I think so too, have you noticed that there are trees on both sides of this road, it looks like this when you walk ten meters away, and it still looks like this when you walk 100 meters and 1000 meters away. It’s as if we’ve been walking in the same scene. There’s no reference, why do I feel like we’re constantly turning in circles?”

Uncle San waved his hand: "No, Lord Jiu, it's just an illusion because the surrounding scenery is similar. Who dares to play this trick in front of us? Follow along, I guess it will take an hour The distance is about the same.”

Thinking about it, the third uncle and the ninth master are both masters in Taoism. Although I am not deep in Taoism, I have seen the world anyway.Ordinary dirty things can definitely feel the aura on us, and usually dare not show their faces.

We followed the red lantern and walked for a certain distance. After Master Jiu reminded me just now, I also noticed that the surrounding trees seemed to be all the same. We walked back and forth, as if we were walking on repeated paths.

Nearly half an hour later, there was still no sign of the carriage stopping, and the surrounding scenery still remained unchanged.

Although the third uncle didn't speak, I felt that the sound of his panting was obviously louder, and it was obvious that he had lost his mind.

As I was walking, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and I reminded them: "Third Uncle, Ninth Master, listen, has the sound of horseshoes disappeared?"
