Letter from Ziteng Incense Candle Shop

Promises are not agreements, as long as they are made, they will absolutely be kept no matter how many years pass, no matter how much they pay.So what about humans?Do you remember the original promise?

--------------

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded from the edge of the granite floor.Although it was midsummer, the big green brick house was cool after nightfall.Small black shadows across the sky, hidden in a piece of green tiles, like this every day.

After a long time, I realized that it was not a bat or a returning bird, because it had two heads. I put the freshly scooped paper to cool in the patio. Some paper products need paper in the Dry at night.

Back at the counter, I found that there was still an order for the day and no one had come to pick it up.I decided to wait a little longer, so I lit a pile of incense and two candles in front of the door, sat on the bamboo chair by the door and picked up the zero daily newspaper I ordered from the Fox reporter.

The newspaper said that the ghost month is coming soon, the system of the underworld has been repaired, and the activities of the ghost month are being planned.Below is a page full of weird campaigns and ads.Added "Ghost King's Marriage" and "Ghost City Tour" to the underworld tourism project.There are also Wangyou wine and Qianchen wine newly prepared by Meng Po.Added Human Skin Lantern and Goblin Mask souvenirs to Hell.

There is also a warning that tourists are not allowed to engrave graffiti such as 'come here' on the Sansheng Stone.

I doubt that there will really be tourists?

This zero daily is too much of a waste of money, it's full of advertisements.There is only a small piece of coverage on the recent intrusion of foreign gangs, and readers are advised to be careful not to conflict with them.

It turns out that A Piao's world also has regional xenophobia.

As the Ghost Moon approaches, there are more Apiao outside.Recently, I got acquainted with the good brothers at the door. They will come to eat joss sticks, and I will also say a few words by the way.

It is actually more convenient to have them. Some customers will know quickly, and they will also tell me if there is danger.Sometimes it will help to block strange things from entering the alley.

"So, Mr. Founder, don't go to the West District tonight, especially the area around Luyi Street." A Piao named 'Old Ghost' is the most gossipy, knowing a lot of strange things.And it has stayed here the longest, and it still knows the words of grandpa.It's just that there is something wrong with the logic of the speech. There should be a "because" in front of the "so".

It's confusing to come up with such a sentence out of nowhere.

"You mean those from other places?" Another good brother named 'Ah Xin' with a blue face came over to get a share.

I remembered that it was indeed reported in the Zero Daily, "Very vicious? The newspaper said not to conflict with them."

"No..." The old ghost held Ah Xin's face with his hands, not letting him approach, "Master Founder, give me this incense candle."

"Old ghost, you bully people." Ah Xin raised his fist in protest.

"You're not human."

I agreed with the old ghost to monopolize the red candle, and burned another one for other Ah Piao.Only then did the old ghost continue: "The people from other places are extremely fierce, and yesterday they fought with the ghost boss in the west district. The ghost boss was beaten to the brim."

The other A Piao also exploded with your words.

"I saw it with new eyes yesterday, it's super scary."

"Even the ghost boss can't beat him, he's fierce enough."

"Maybe the area will be re-divided."

"Outsiders are too hateful, why doesn't Lord Chenghuang care?"

I curiously asked the old ghost: "Are they ghosts who have been cultivating for a long time?" I heard from A Piao and the others that some ghosts lingering in the world can also practice cultivation.The longer you practice, the stronger the power of the ghost with heavier resentment.

"It's scarier than that. But Master Founder doesn't have to..."

Before it finished speaking, it was passed through by people, and the men and women who came also shuddered at the same time.The old ghost grinned and yelled "Unlucky", "Ah Gui at the alley is lazy again."

The men and women should be guests, so I quickly stood up and greeted them.

"What do you two need?"

The two looked at each other with doubts on their faces.I've seen this expression a lot, and it's the same with customers who come to pick up their orders.Most of them do not believe in the dreams of the deceased.

"Excuse me, are they relatives of the Chen family at No. 56 Luyi Street, West District?" After the man nodded in surprise, I put the goods in front of him. "Please count the goods ordered by Mrs. Chen."

"...This...is fragrant and has the smell of bacon?" The man was dumbfounded when he saw the packaging of the incense.

The old lady passed away only two years ago, but her mouth was very sticky, and it took me a lot of effort to distinguish the scents of incense.It seems that I heard rumors that the food here is delicious, so I asked my relatives to come and buy it in my dream.

"Lingtang is a gourmet...haha. Next time tell her old man, don't be so heavy, eat less bacon and salted fish, and eat more light ones. I have chrysanthemum and jasmine flavors here."

I thought they couldn't help laughing, but the two of them started crying, which made me feel at a loss.

"Guests...what's the matter with you?" Hastily handed the man a tissue, motioning him to wipe the woman's tears.Unexpectedly, he took it and wiped his nose directly. =_=||||

"...When Mom was here...we didn't take care of it...let her eat delicious food...555..."

While crying, the man took out money and said that he wanted to buy a bundle of each flavor of incense.I don't have a problem with it, it's just doing more business anyway.But please don't drip snot on my clothes, please?

After finally getting them to cry and send them out, I suddenly remembered that they lived in the West District.Isn't it the place the old ghost mentioned?If it gets dark now...

"You two had better not go home tonight."

Looking at the puzzled faces of the two, I really wanted to reward myself with two potstickers, I couldn't say there was a fight between the Ah Piao gang over there.

"It's good to find a place to soothe your mood. Don't let her old man come back and worry about it." I made an excuse casually.Unexpectedly, the kind reminder caused me trouble.

After eating and taking a shower, I was about to play games for a while before going to bed.Unexpectedly, the weather forecast said that there will be rain from tonight to tomorrow.I suddenly thought of the paper materials hanging in the yard, which would all be scrapped when it rained.

He quickly changed his coat and rushed back to the shop.As I walked, I thought that I should clean up the upstairs room. It’s not good to stay at my cousin’s house all the time.

The surrounding situation was very strange, except for the few pedestrians on the road, there was not a single Apiao.It stands to reason that there should be a lot of Apiao wandering around at this time.Especially now that the ghost moon is approaching, it is their active period.

Because I was rushing back to the store to collect paper materials, I didn't think too much about it.Turning into Mashi Lane, this area is full of old houses, without street lights, only the occasional light from the houses illuminates the road.Most of the residents are old people, and it is already past ten o'clock, and they are basically asleep.

It was dark and dark all around, because it was cloudy and there was no moonlight, so I could only rely on the lights in the distance, and I couldn't see clearly at all.I took out my phone but could only see the ground under my feet.Fortunately, the roads are used to walking, and it didn't take much effort.

But seeing A Piao jumping out suddenly under such circumstances is really scary.The strange thing is that not only was there not a single Apiao along the way, but it was so quiet that not even the insects chirped.

There was a foul stench in the air.There should be no smelly puddles here.There was a chill on the back, like several ice needles piercing the skin, and all the goosebumps rose.

Suddenly looked up and found two red bright spots hanging in the air on the left.There is a blue brick wall, the bright spot is more than one meter higher than the wall.The distant light shines through, revealing the outline of something vaguely.

It should not be infrared monitors or the like, and this kind of residential area does not seem to have such things.I walked quickly, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the two red lights that were always pointing towards me, as if that thing had been staring at me.

This realization made me feel cold from head to toe, and I kept reassuring myself that it might be a dog or other animals.But he couldn't restrain the terror spreading in his heart.

The footsteps went faster and faster, and finally let go of the legs and ran wildly, although there was nothing chasing after him.I want to quickly enter the familiar alley, as long as I see the old ghosts, they should be safe.

Seeing Ah Piao actually made me feel at ease, and my three views became more and more deviated.

But when he turned into the alley where the shop was located, he still couldn't see a Piao.On weekdays, the old ghosts must be playing cards nearby.

Unable to control that much, I opened the store door and rushed in.The store seems to be blessed by the father-in-law of the land. On weekdays, except for 'customers', strange things are not allowed to enter.

After closing the door, I collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath.What the hell was that? It scared me to death.

It took a while to catch my breath, and I started to collect the paper materials from the patio into the house.When it was almost finished, there was a sudden scream of terror.

It wasn't the kind of scream, the painful scream as if the body was torn apart, piercing to the bone.In this silent night spread with fear.

Could it be a homicide?I ran back to the counter to call the police with my mobile phone, but there were shouts and hurried footsteps outside.The shoes echoed on the stone floor, as if a group of people were running towards this side.

There was a messy knocking sound from the wooden door, and someone put his hand through the crossbar, pulled the lock ring on the wooden door and slapped the wooden door vigorously.A voice came from outside, "Open the door! Open the door!"

A man's voice, but not recognizable.Maybe it was because I turned on the light and the light came through the crack of the door that he could confirm that there was someone here.

Because of the screams just now, I hesitated to open the door.Maybe the man outside is a murderer.

There was another piercing scream, no, it sounded a bit like a growl.That sound really doesn't sound like a human being.

"Old Chen, hurry up, this place is going to be overwhelmed."

"I can't say it... By the way, it seems that I want to look good... Where is Ah Yun?"

"Queen."

"Then Xunzi, come and try."

What is it with what?I still couldn't figure out the situation, there was a moment of silence outside the door, and suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door like a drum beating.

"Open the door, it's me."

The voice is as clear as the beating of a rock, if the tone is more gentle, it will definitely fascinate many lovers.But the tone of voice was very irritable, and he knocked on the door with unceremonious force.

No matter what, this voice has never been heard before.

"Who is it?"

"it's me!"

The author has something to say: In the last story, Wang Tiehan is indeed a real person, and the number of the army he belongs to is also true.He was the one who fired the first shot in the War of Resistance Against Japan.On September [-], he defied the order of his superiors not to resist and fired the first shot. He was an anti-Japanese hero.But in fact he did not die on the battlefield, but went to Taiwan.The stories here are fictional and have nothing to do with reality.But I believe that in that era, there must have been many heroes and heroic souls in the story, who gave everything for victory.
