Chapter 220 Five Promises

Seeing that Hong Chendong didn't seem to be joking, Mu Shiguang asked, "Uncle Hong, what's going on? I also heard people say they saw ghosts at my grandfather's place, but I never really saw it. You warned me that it was just a trick of the mind, so don't take it seriously, I think someone is playing tricks on Uncle Hong behind his back, right?"

Hong Chendong smiled awkwardly and said: "Nephew Mu's family is telling the truth, I thought it was someone who was full and had nothing to do, but you will understand when you come and see this." Hong Chendong couldn't help but pull Mu Shiguang over When he arrived at the counter, he pointed to the ashes on the Mingzhi Huoqian Noodles placed on the counter and said nothing...

Mu Shiguang put down the fish basket, stretched out two fingers and picked up a few pieces of paper money, saying: "This... this... is this paper money for the dead? Why is it on the counter? Uncle Hong is the one who offended you." Is there a villain?"

Xu Husan walked out the back door with two ingots of five taels of silver in his hand, Hong Chendong hurried forward to take the silver in his hand and stuffed it into Mu Shiguang's arms.Mu Shiguang refused to accept it, so Hong Chendong had no choice but to shout to the two guys: "You two boys just have a handsome face, but it's just a bag of grass in the embroidered pillow. Why don't you have half the eyesight, go and give it to me." I'll send the fish basket to the girl, and tonight we invite the shepherd's mother and son to come over for dinner." The two guys didn't understand what was going on, so they scolded Hong Chendong and left with the fish basket.

"Uncle Hong can't help it. My fish is not worth ten taels of silver. I just need enough money to buy medicine for my mother. Uncle Hong, we orphans and widows usually receive your kindness. I don't care about this money. It's impossible to take it!" Mu Shiguang pushed the money back to Hong Chendong.

"Hey, I said nephew, your mother's illness is not cured by taking medicine for a day or two. You can keep the money for your mother's medical treatment. Don't be stubborn, uncle is not short of pocket money. If you can help uncle drive this ghost away, let alone ten taels of silver, I will give it any more." Hong Chendong had a trace of resentment on his face, and Mu Shiguang couldn't refuse anymore.Mu Shiguang still knows the truth of receiving people's money and people's disaster relief.

Mu Shiguang said sternly, "Okay, Uncle Hong, you have said that, so I would be more respectful than obedient. Uncle Hong, how did you encounter a ghost? Where did the ghost come from in the world of Langlang Qiankun Qingming?"

Hong Chendong saw that there was no one else in the rice shop in the front hall, closed the door and said in a low voice, "Don't believe me, boy, come and sit down and I'll tell you. Three days ago, after dark, I met a The woman in black held an umbrella and knocked on the door to buy rice. I just thought that the neighbors had no rice to cook and sold it to her. I didn't take it to heart. Who knew that the cash drawer was found when I opened the door for business the next day. There is Mingzhihuo money in it. I was also thinking that someone was playing tricks on me, but just last night that woman in black came to buy rice again. I clearly took her copper coins and put them on the counter , I didn’t expect to be called up by the buddy in the morning to see that the copper coins have turned into ghost money!”

After listening to Hong Chendong's words, Mu Shiguang lowered his head, thought for a while and said to himself: "There are really such strange things in the world. The female ghost must be afraid of seeing the light with the umbrella in her hand. I came to Mipu twice. I also paid money to buy the rice, could it be that the female ghost deliberately wanted Uncle Hong to notice?"

"Big... big nephew, then... that ghost wants me... to notice what? I was almost scared to death by her... At first I didn't know, but now I think of me, my spine is shivering... ..." Hong Chendong said fearfully.

On the contrary, Mu Shiguang smiled and said, "Uncle Hong, if that female ghost really wants to harm you, I think Uncle Hong has already been poisoned by that female ghost. I came to Mipu twice... twice Mipu...what is she for? Ghosts are terribly frightening, and Uncle Hong doesn’t know that female ghost, so I guess that female ghost is not here to seek revenge!” Mu Shiguang closed his eyes and thought hard but couldn’t think of that. The ghost's attempt.

Hong Chendong rubbed his hands on the sidelines and said, "Nephew, uncle knows you are good at martial arts. You can give uncle an idea, even if that female ghost doesn't want to harm people, I will be scared to death by her."

Mu Shiguang opened his eyes, with a look of determination on his face, he bowed first to Hong Chendong and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible. From tonight, I will live in this rice shop The front hall is waiting for the female ghost to come again. Since she will come twice, there must be her purpose. I beg uncle one thing, if something happens to me, please don't tell my mother and say I am Going to Lin'an City to join the army." Hong Chendong was stunned by the half-grown boy in front of him, he was going to deal with that female ghost to the end.Knowing that life and death are unpredictable, but still worrying about his mother being frightened, what a boy, what a boy!

Hong Chendong said in a hurry: "Nephew, why don't we invite a great monk to take a look, I can't bear it if something happens to you!"

"Hehe, life and death are fate. I, Mu Shiguang, can't drive the enemy on the battlefield, and I can't support my old mother. It is shameless to stand between heaven and earth. Uncle Hong, you don't need to say more, I decided to fight that female ghost One fight. If Uncle Hong thinks I’m not good enough, then it’s not too late for you to invite old monks. There are indeed many old monks in Jiangzhou who cheat people’s money and pretend to be ghosts, but I will listen to those who can catch ghosts and subdue demons. It is said that Huang Shigong, who became a celestial being, appeared in Jiangzhou Mansion."

Hong Chendong tapped his forehead with his hand and said, "Nephew, that is a peerless hermit. Where can I find him? Well, just do as you say..."

Mu Shiguang declined Hong Chendong's gracious banquet, went out of the Longwang rice shop to grab the medicine, and went back to decoct the medicine to wait for Jiao Shi to take the medicine.Jiaoshi was half lying on the bed coughing rapidly, and the dark brown medicinal juice splashed out with the sound of coughing.Mu Shiguang carefully wiped off the medicinal juice sprayed out by Jiao Shi with a cotton veil, and Jiao Shi's cough improved obviously after drinking the medicine.Mu Shiguang covered the quilt weakly, and Jiao sighed and said, "Son, cough cough cough... It's been hard for you these years... cough cough cough, it's all my old bones... cough Keke dragged you down."

"Mother, don't say that. Today I went to get medicine. Hu Langzhong said that after you finish taking these medicines, your illness will be cured. Mother, you can take care of your illness with peace of mind. Didn't mother say that crows have the ability to feed back?" Love, am I not as good as that flat-haired beast?" Mu Shiguang put the medicine jar aside and said.

Jiao forced out a smile and said: "Ahem...you will say nice things to fool your mother, cough...you can believe what Hu Langzhong said! Cough..."

"Mother, this is the money given by Uncle Hong from the Longwang rice shop next door. You take care of the medicine for the past two days. I've already bought the rice jar and I've filled it with rice." Mu Shiguang said anxiously.

Jiao asked strangely: "Son...cough cough cough...what's the matter with you? Why does shopkeeper Hong want to give you money? Cough cough cough..."

"Mother, there was a... female thief in shopkeeper Hong's rice shop. He gave me money just to help him catch that thief." It's a lie, I lowered my head and packed up the medicine jars and bowls, hurried to the corner of the room and started working for lunch.

Jiao Shi stood up and said: "cough cough cough... Shopkeeper Hong is usually a humble person... cough cough cough... he didn't take care of us orphans and widowed mothers, cough cough cough... If you can help, help shopkeeper Hong , don't be greedy for other people's yellow and white things...cough cough cough..."

While burning a few taels of pork bought from the market for his mother, Mu Shiguang said in response: "Mother, my child remembers the kindness of shopkeeper Hong, and the kindness of dripping water should be repaid with springs. Mother, please lie down quickly. Don't catch a cold." Jiao nodded, and then fell asleep again.Mu Shiguang stared straight at Jiao Shi on the bed, and his heart surged up from the five-flavored bottle.Jiao's tuberculosis and cough were caused by his father's depression, and his mother worked hard to bring her up alone.Now that I have agreed to Uncle Hong for my mother's medicine money, I have to take this risk whether it is life or death...

Before Mu Shiguang Shen's time came, the Longwang rice shop was about to be closed and rolled up in front of the board, so he rolled up a thin quilt and carried a few books in the front hall of the rice shop.Hong Chendong told him to go to the back hall first, have dinner first, and then wait for the female ghost, but Mu Shiguang rejected him. Mu Shiguang took out two brown rice cakes from his sleeve and said calmly: "Uncle Hong, how do you live?" It’s just as usual now. Just pretend that I’m not there so that you won’t be suspicious of that female ghost. Please don’t worry if I’m watching in the front hall, Uncle Hong.” Hong Chendong thought it made sense when he heard it, and he bowed his hands and went back. church

After two days in a row, Mu Shiguang always came to the rice shop at Shenshi, Zheng Baocai and Xu Husan came to open the shop at five o'clock, and then went back.The Longwang rice shop was calm and there was no movement at all, but after midnight on the third day, Mu Shiguang slept behind the counter of the rice shop. "Squeaky" the back door of the front hall was gently pushed open, and in the dark night, a figure was approaching Mu Shiguang on tiptoe, coming out from under the quilt less than three feet away from the thin quilt Mu Shiguang was lying on. Suddenly, a cold light jumped up, followed by a burst of flames.

Mu Shiguang held the fire folder in one hand, abruptly stopped the dagger in the other hand, and said in surprise: "Fourth madam? Why are you?"

The person who came was Mei Niang, the concubine of Hong Chendong Xinna. Seeing the short knife reaching her throat, Mei Niang was so frightened that the food box she carried in Huarong's pale arms dropped from her hand.Mu Shi lightly hooked the back of his instep to catch the Shina firmly, and said with a frown, "Fourth Madam, what are you doing?"

Mei Niang patted her chest coquettishly and said with a coquettish smile: "What am I going to do? Giggle, I'm not here to deliver food to your little friend! How could you know that your little friend is ungrateful, hey! I had my heart for Mingyue, who Know that the bright moon shines on the ditch." Mei Niang looked at Mu Shiguang with a shy expression while speaking.

Mu Shiguang said coldly: "Fourth Madam, please respect yourself. It is not appropriate for a man and a widow to be in the same room in the middle of the night. Fourth Madam, please go back to your room earlier to rest. Mu Shiguang appreciates Madam's kindness." Huo Zhezi slowly It was extinguished in the hands of Xianshiguang.

Meiniang giggled and said: "Ah! So the Mu family is still a young man?" Meiniang's soft arms wrapped around Mu Shiguang's neck like a boneless octopus, and her hands were even more so on Mu Shiguang's chest. Slowly rubbing against each other...

The 19-year-old Mu Shiguang was embarrassed by Mei Niang, and shouted anxiously: "Uncle Hong! You are here..."
