On the dark street, the blood-red light of the lanterns reflected the bluestone bricks on the ground, which looked like blood-red eyes from a distance.

In front of the shop selling cloth, an old lady was arguing with the owner of the shop. Her eyes were dull and her body was hazy and illusory.

Jiang Yan knew that she was not a human, but just a kind of human consciousness, just like the passengers he met on the bus before.

Although these human consciousnesses would react to the outside world, they could not remember new things, and their behavior patterns were also determined by their experience and habits before they died.

"The cloth I want is 13 feet, why did you only give me 13 feet!" The old lady shouted angrily into the shop.

Jiang Yan and Ren Jing were no longer surprised. After all, this was the third time the old lady said this sentence, as if she would not say anything else, which made people feel a little creepy.

Jiang Yan probably knew some of the reasons. It should be that in the old lady's understanding before her death, her money should be enough to buy 13 feet of cloth, so she was so angry.

But this is a ghost market, not the real world, so how can there be bargaining?

"I want a piece of cloth that is 13 feet long, why do you only give me 10 feet!" At this time, the old lady yelled into the store in the same angry tone.

Her sharp voice sounded very harsh in this dead street.

Seeing this, Ren Jing couldn't help but want to retreat. She was afraid that if the old lady continued to make trouble, she would alarm the evil spirits nearby.

"Why don't we go somewhere else first? This old lady is really weird. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we will be implicated by her."

However, Jiang Yan shook his head and continued to choose to wait here.

Ren Jing looked at him with a confused look on her face. Although she wanted to leave, the ghost bride only listened to Jiang Yan's orders, so she had to follow Jiang Yan and stand there.

At this time, the old lady yelled into the store again:

"I want a piece of cloth that is 13 feet long, why do you only give me 10 feet!"

After shouting this sentence, unlike before, there were some reactions in the store.

A low sound of footsteps came from inside, and it sounded like someone was walking, but because of the obstruction of the hanging silk, Jiang Yan and others could not see the true face of that thing.

At this time, because he was in a dream, Jiang Yan could not use the light of insight. Apart from being able to drive the ghost bride, he was no different from ordinary people.

"Oops, the evil ghost inside seems to have been provoked. Let's leave quickly." Ren Jing felt a little bad and hurriedly urged.

However, Jiang Yan still stood there, with no intention of leaving.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to fight against that evil ghost? But we don't have to do this..." Ren Jing looked at Jiang Yan's motionless appearance and felt a little confused.

At this time, the old lady yelled again:

"The cloth I want is one zhang and three feet, why do you only give me one zhang!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the store. Obviously, something was trying to come out. Under the hanging silk, a pair of feet wearing red cloth shoes could be seen.

The feet looked very small, like a woman's feet, but the skin of the ankles was black, covered with purple veins, which looked very scary.

As if he felt that the time had come, Jiang Yan slowly walked towards the angry old lady.

Ren Jing was also a little surprised, not understanding what Jiang Yan wanted to do, but soon she knew, and couldn't help but sweating.

I saw that Jiang Yan's right hand had a black butcher knife. He held the butcher knife, walked to the old lady, and then raised his hand and cut it down.

"Puff~"

With a muffled sound, the old lady was beheaded on the spot, and the remaining body quickly turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Ren Jing couldn't help shrinking her eyes when she saw this, and said in disbelief:

"You actually killed her..."

She couldn't believe it. This was a ghost market. Killing people in a ghost market might cause serious consequences. Moreover, this old lady was doing a deal with the ghosts in the store. Forcibly interrupting this deal would definitely cause some consequences.

Jiang Yan seemed to ignore all this. He bent down, picked up the bundle of navy blue cloth in the old lady's hand, and then threw it back into the store like trash.

"I don't want these cloths anymore, give me back the money."

After saying that, he walked to the counter and quickly took away all the ghost money that the old lady had just put down.

Ren Jing suddenly realized that Jiang Yan had been eyeing the ghost money of the old lady from the beginning.

Although it should be reasonable to return the money, no one knows what the evil ghost in the store thinks. She stared nervously at the strange eyes under the silk in the store.'s feet.

After Jiang Yan took the ghost money away, a gust of cold wind blew, and the silk in the shop was lifted by the cold wind, which also exposed the lower part of the evil ghost.

The evil ghost was wearing a blood-red cheongsam, and the color was very eye-catching in the dark shop, but this scene only flashed by, and the next moment the silk fell down again, covering the figure of the evil ghost.

Jiang Yan held the ghost money in his hand tightly, staring at the pair of feet wearing red cloth shoes. If the evil ghost did not agree to this transaction, he would drive the power of the ghost bride to fight it hard.

Ren Jing also waited nervously.

After a while, the strange feet slowly retreated and could no longer be seen.

Seeing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yan looked at the ghost money in his hand and counted it carefully. The amount was about more than 100 yuan. Now he can buy more things in the ghost market...
