Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 114 Ghost Patronage

...

"Xinji Congee Shop has reopened with a big bargain, two copper coins for a porridge with pickles!"

Ah Xing listened to the yelled words from the opposite guy, and subconsciously clenched the hand holding the towel, his veins popped out. His porridge stall only sold three copper coins for a porridge, and the opening big bargain on the opposite side was one less than him, which immediately attracted him. Originally, customers flocked to the porridge shop, but the Xingji porridge stall was empty.

Seeing the crowds on the opposite side, Ah Xing sat alone in front of the stall in a daze. He had opened the stall for almost an hour, and no customer came to buy porridge.

"A Xing, how is business?"

At this time, a voice came from one side, Ah Xing looked up, and saw Brother Lin coming out of the alley and walking to the stall to ask.

"Boss He opened a new store opposite. Today, the big reward is two copper coins for a porridge and free pickles. The customers are all attracted. I haven't sold a single one yet!"

Ah Xing replied listlessly, Brother Lin couldn't help but a little angrily said for him.

"Boss He is really serious. I said earlier that he was going to open a shop across the street, so I wouldn't advise you to sell this stall!"

Brother Lin looked at A Xing and said with some guilt. He only heard the news that Boss He was going to open a new store, but he didn't expect that he would open it opposite the original booth.

"It's okay, Brother Lin, the big bargain is only for a day or two. After the opening heat is over, the price should go back up."

"By the way, Brother Lin, have you eaten yet? I'll make you some porridge to take home with you."

"no, I'm fine!"

"You're welcome, take it."

Ah Xing couldn't help but pack a porridge for Brother Lin. It seems that there is no business tonight, but fortunately, the business was pretty good a few days ago, and even if it is not sold today, it will not lose money.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and other stalls on the street were withdrawn one after another. It seemed that in an instant, the whole lively night market became deserted. Looking at the porridge in the pot, Ah Xing was also a little worried. Sky muttered to himself.

"Set it up for a while, and close the stall if there are no customers."

Ah Xing was sitting in front of the stall, holding his chin in a daze, and after a while, unknowingly, it was the third watch. At this time, even Xinji across the street was closed, and there was no one on the street, Ah Xing looked at The empty street sighed and prepared to close the stall.

"Brother, do you have porridge?"

As if hearing the sound of nature, Ah Xing suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He didn't know when a woman came to the stall with a bamboo basket in her hand and looked at him expectantly.

"Yes, yes! How many copies do you want?"

Ah Xing quickly put down the things in his hands and opened the lid to reveal the hot porridge inside.

"Look, it's still hot!"

"I want a thank you, in this."

The woman took out a porcelain bowl from the basket and handed it to Ah Xing, who filled a full bowl for her after Ah Xing took it.

"Thank you, how much?"

"Three copper plates."

A Xing stretched out three fingers and said, and then saw the woman take out three copper coins and handed them to him, but after the woman left, A Xing threw the copper coins into the money jar, but there was no sound coming out, he thought something was wrong Leaning over to take a look, the copper plate received just now has turned into a few ghost papers at some point.

"Ah, here... I just made an order after sitting there all night, and it turned out that a ghost came to the door!"

"It's still dead money, okay!"

Ah Xing looked at the direction the woman was leaving, and there was no sign of her. Although he was not very good at Taoism, but the copper plate turned into a ghost paper in front of his eyes. He naturally knew that the woman was a ghost, and secretly said it was bad luck Besides, the more Ah Xing thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he didn't even care about picking up the kitchen knife from the cutting board, and quickly chased in the direction where the female ghost disappeared.

Walking to the alley where the female ghost entered, he followed the female ghost secretly to an abandoned house.

The house has been abandoned for an unknown amount of time. The roof and the gate have already collapsed. There are only two broken walls and two stone lions left at the gate. Seeing the figure of the female ghost drifting in, Ah Xing followed with a knife in his hand. up.

After entering, I saw that there were already grasses and living beings inside, and the collapsed bricks were scattered everywhere. Only the side room on the side was still relatively intact, and the light in the room was reflected. Ah Xing leaned against the wall and looked in sideways, and then saw I saw a female ghost feeding an old woman with porridge.

"two?"

"Slashing people with a knife is definitely fine, but not killing ghosts with a knife."

Ah Xing looked at the sharp blade and muttered in a low voice, his eyes looked around carefully, and then he saw a willow tree in the house suddenly lit up.

"Willows can fight ghosts!"

Dazed by anger, Ah Xing didn't even think about whether he was an opponent, so he trotted to the willow tree and chopped it with a knife, and soon a freshly baked willow branch appeared in his hand.

Squatting down and slowly approaching the side room, the female ghost was lighting a fire and cooking something outside at this time, the distance between Ah Xing and him was only three or four meters away, and he was lowered down along a small section of broken wall near.

"Crack!"

Ah Xing's figure froze. It turned out that he didn't pay attention to his feet just now and accidentally stepped on a piece of tile. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to make any other movements. He could only hide his body behind the broken wall as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the female ghost.

"Where's the ghost?"

After waiting for a while, Ah Xing raised his head again to look at the place where the female ghost was just now, but the female ghost who was still here just now had disappeared, leaving only a crock pot steaming from the stove.

Not seeing the female ghost, Ah Xing immediately turned around and looked behind him, afraid that the female ghost would come out to attack at this time, he looked around cautiously to find the trace of the female ghost, but unfortunately he still couldn't see the female ghost, The whole abandoned house seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, Ah Xing's right hand holding the willow branch couldn't help but tighten, and the end of the willow branch wrapped around his left hand looked back to the direction of the side room again.

Who would have thought that when he turned around, he would see the female ghost appearing in front of his eyes, which made him fall back involuntarily in fright, but soon he stood up again and held the willow branch tightly with both hands to look at the female ghost.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

The female ghost did not take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Ah Xing, but waited for him to stabilize before asking.

"What are you doing here? I'm here to fight ghosts!"

Ah Xing hit the female ghost with the willow branch after saying that, and the female ghost quickly retreated while avoiding the oncoming willow branch. Sparks erupted from the ghost's body, and the female ghost screamed in pain, her whole body was thrown into the air and then fell to the ground.

When Ah Xing was about to hit him again, he saw the female ghost flipping from the ground to avoid his attack. Ah Xing waved the willow branches vigorously, and the willow branches waved around him. not him.

"Brother, listen to my explanation!"

"I don't listen to your nonsense, watch it."

The female ghost anxiously wanted to explain to Ah Xing, but Ah Xing was already full of anger at this time, and did not listen to her at all. Besides, even if he was a low-level man, he knew that most of the ghosts' words were untrustworthy. There was constant fighting in the house, and the female ghost forced by Ah Xing with a willow branch fell into a disadvantage again and again.
