How to get started

Anyway, the gold ingots were burnt out, so Xiaopang stood up and walked outside.But in the courtyard outside, there were no letters as he expected.He remembered that he replied very quickly last time.

Sister Xingfu also came out, stood beside him and asked, "No reply?"

"Well, the last reply appeared here."

"Not now."

"Ah."

The two looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.It took a while for happiness to say: "Just wait. Wait until... four o'clock. If there is no reply, we will go back."

Fatty agreed to this matter.

It's just that the two of them sat in the cold courtyard of the City God's Temple, and waited until the ingots inside were all burnt out, and the fire was gone, and the frost began to fall, and they were so cold that they couldn't feel their hands and feet.And there was still nothing unusual in the yard.There is nothing unusual even in the Town God's Temple.

Happiness looked at the time and said, "Go back. I don't know if it will be useful."

Little Fatty originally wanted to say that maybe the Tongyin document she wrote was wrong.After all, the last time Persimmon came here, it was based on the painting, but this time Xingfu wrote it by himself.

But looking at Sister Xingfu's sleepy look, she didn't make the whole joke anymore.

Compared with nothing on the happiness side, the persimmon side is still smooth.It went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.

Persimmon burned the master's business card on the side of the road at eleven o'clock in the evening.The car appeared in front of him three or four minutes later.

The master still had a smile on his face: "Yo, it's you. Where are you going? There is no traffic jam at this point, so we don't have to take the wrong path."

Persimmon got into the car and said, "I'm going to the ghost market."

The master was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Going to the ghost market will cost you an increase, which is double the price for a round trip. Or I will send you there, and I will come back by myself. You have to find a way out by yourself."

"Okay! Double!" Persimmon didn't care about the money.And in order to buy rookie beads today, he wore enough gold leaf.It is inconvenient to store gold ingots, so it is better to store a large stack of gold leaf.

The gold foil was enough for him to pack a cardboard box that big, and it was tiring to carry it.He just wondered if the next time he went to Cenjia Village to find his parents, he could ask them to apply for a bank card, credit card or something there.Of course, the premise is that there are these things over there.

The car drove towards the street, and soon the dark alley appeared in front of him.The driver slowed down and moved forward slowly, and the scenery outside the window slowly changed.There are many small vendors on the street.People coming and going, looking at this ghost city is quite lively.

The driver parked the car at the foot of the old city wall and said, "The car inside can't be driven in. You can go shopping by yourself. I'll wait in this car. Let me tell you first, I have to go back before three o'clock. If you don't Go, I'm going first."

Persimmon nodded, he didn't come to shop.If it is purely for business, the time will definitely not be delayed.He walked towards "Jingyuan" with his suitcase in his arms.

Outside the door of "Jing Yuan", Gui Yi, the fat old man, was leaning against his carved wooden door, watching the people coming and going.He seemed to know that none of these people could be his guests.

In fact, Persimmon didn't understand until he left first, who would buy these beads, and what they would do when they bought them back.But it is estimated that it is not a good thing.These people whose lifespan is not yet exhausted, have been killed just like that, and the resentment on their bodies must be indispensable.The ghost with such strong resentment was imprisoned in the bead again.Once something happens, the consequences will not be good.

Who would risk so much to buy such beads.What is he coming for?

Gui Yi walked into his shop facing Persimmon with a smile, and said, "Little brother, I knew you would come."

"It's here." Persimmon put the box of gold leaf on the same rattan table as Jingjing's in his shop, and said, "Then tell me, why am I here?"

"Come to my place, of course, to buy things. The ghost market is a good place to do business. What do you want to buy?"

"A friend of mine."

"I have a lot of beads here, I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"Boss Gui is refreshing!" Persimmon announced the horoscope of a rookie.

Guiyi walked to the counter and took out a black bead with a diameter of three to four centimeters from the counter.Can't see the texture.Stone?wood?But I can see that there is something flowing in the bead like the crystal sold by "Jingyuan".

"How do I know this is my friend?" Persimmon asked.Even though Guiyi was very forthright this time, he still had a strong defensive mentality towards Guiyi.

Guiyi still had that expression of hiding a knife in his smile: "You are a devil, you should be able to tell."

Persimmon stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still held the bead, trying to see the flowing things in the bead.But he still couldn't see what was in the bead.This is like... the hibiscus crystal of Tencel.

The Furongjing will only reveal the face of Tiansi in front of the soul-inducing lamp.But Guiyi didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile, waiting for his next reaction.Is this making things difficult?

When Persimmon was anxious, he saw the substance in the bead flowing very fast, and then a face appeared.A gray rookie face.That face seemed to be made of plaster, but it was indeed the face of a rookie.

The first reason why Persimmon was shocked was that it was really a rookie.The second reason, he was able to see it.

Guiyi looked at Persimmon's surprised expression, and said with satisfaction, "How is it? If the goods are still satisfactory, I'll make an offer."

Persimmon came back to his senses, put down the beads, and asked, "How much?" If his box of gold leaf was burned, it would be a lot of money.

Guiyi smiled and shook his head: "Do you think I'm short of money?"

He is not short of money, so what does he want? "Didn't you say that the ghost market is a good place to do business? Why, I have money and you still don't sell me?"

"In this ghost market, not everything can be bought with ghost coins."

"Then what do you want?"

When the persimmon was ready and he said that he wanted his life, Guiyi said, "I want the lotus crystal from Tencel."

Hearing this request, Persimmon froze for a moment.He knew that the lotus crystal was originally stolen from the crystal edge by the street vendor?Pick it up?

It is quite reasonable for Guiyi to make this request now.But Guiyi knew that he took Furongjing out of the ghost city, but he didn't know how he took it.Then it was not unreasonable for him to come to him for that lotus crystal.But the lotus crystal is now on Tencel's neck.It seems that he hasn't seen Tencel in this period of time.

Persimmon thought for a while, the lotus crystal was not on his body, and it was impossible to give it to him now.He can stall for time first.After these few months, they had a way to control him. At that time, he would be in a state of distress. How could he still have time to ask Furongjing?Even at that time, he asked the question, and the persimmon must be given to him.But as long as Tiansi is willing to leave with him, he doesn't have to pay anything for this promise?

Although it is said that everything promised to the ghost must be done, but if the ghost can't even protect himself, he won't be in the mood to find a hibiscus crystal.

Thinking about this meaning, Shizi replied: "Okay, I agree."

Guiyi wrapped up the beads and said, "Oh, this is the fairest deal. Come and put this box away. Don't forget yes, agree to my exchange."

Persimmon took the box, and Guiyi added: "After you go home, it's best not to open the box. Beads have their taboos and habits. You were good friends before, but it doesn't mean he will." Listen to you."

Persimmon nodded: "Yes, but Furongjing is not on me, I need a little time."

"Of course. Bring it to me before the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month."

Persimmon frowned. It was Ghost Festival. The time he set must have a special meaning.But it's not suitable for him to ask more questions now.He took the box, patted the gold leaf on the table and said, "Boss Gui, these are just the meeting ceremony."

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the shop.Inadvertently looking at the street stall opposite, the peddler had disappeared.Was it because of the matter of Furongjing that Guiyi dealt with it?No matter what the reason was, Persimmon felt worried for him.

Persimmon wanted to pay attention to the ghosts on the street, so he didn't notice that standing in front of "Jingyuan" was the boss Guiyigui who was smiling so proudly.

Back in the taxi, the driver was still leaning on the driver's seat humming a song from that era.When he saw Persimmon came back, he immediately sat upright and said, "Hey, you're back? I thought you'd be shopping for a few hours. It's a rare visit, don't you want to go around?"

Shizi Yang raised the box in his hand and said: "I have bought what I want. There is no need to stay. I don't belong here."

The driver nodded with a dry smile, started the car and rushed out.

When Persimmon came home, Miss Xingfu and Xiaopang hadn't come back yet.He looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already one o'clock, why didn't they come back.The two of them went out after eating at six o'clock.

Persimmon sat on the sofa, looked at the small box and frowned.He didn't open the box hastily.Although I am not sure if there is any taboo that Guiyi said that it cannot be opened easily.He won't try it lightly, this box is still waiting for Brother Chen to come, let's discuss it with everyone.

I don't know if I was too excited, but Persimmon didn't feel sleepy, so he just looked at the small box, sat on the sofa and waited until around three or four o'clock before Happiness and Xiaopang came back.
