Siheyuan, I, Silly Zhu, picked up the Qinman script

Although I haven’t been to the ghost market for more than ten years.

Silly Zhu is no stranger.

Relying on the stored memories in his mind, he arrived at the ghost market not far from the courtyard house with ease.

When Silly Zhu appeared here, the time had already reached four-thirty in the morning.

The short street was bustling with people.

From people's posture, you can roughly judge what the other person is doing, whether he is a seller or a buyer. People selling things usually have a half-crouched posture on the roadside, with their eyes vigilantly watching the left and right sides, and their bodies showing a posture of retreating at any time, looking for their goals among the pedestrians coming and going. . Most of the people buying things were walking. As they walked forward, they looked at the vendors squatting on the curb and the things in their hands. Whether they were vendors squatting on the side of the road or customers wandering around, everyone kept their mouths tightly shut and tried not to make any noise.

This is also one of the wonders of the ghost market.

It was obviously a market for buying and selling, but there was no sound of hawking, and everything was as silent as silk.

There is no sound.

Under the dim street lights, everything was so ordinary but strange. There were several street lights on this street, and a light bulb was on every tens of meters apart.

How many watts does the light bulb have?

do not know.

But the light is weak and can only illuminate a very small area around it.

This gave rise to the second wonder of the ghost market.

Flashlight.

Whether they are wandering pedestrians or squatting vendors, they always have a household appliance hidden in their pockets.

flashlight.

Wealthy people usually don't use three-battery flashlights, but not-so-rich people usually don't turn on two-battery flashlights in order to save money. Only when they meet interested sellers will they generously light up the flashlights to shine on themselves. of the goods sold.

From a distance, you really feel like you are seeing ghosts.

Standing at the entrance to the ghost market.

Silly Zhu adjusted the mask on his face with his hands.

People don’t see people.

This is a major feature of the ghost market. Even if the buyer and the seller negotiate a business, neither party will recognize each other. In order to avoid causing trouble, people in the ghost market 100% cover their true faces. Some They covered their faces with cloths, some wore masks, and some, like Silly Zhu, covered most of their faces with masks.

Silly Zhu merged into the crowd quietly, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

The surrounding environment made Silly Zhu's body and mind feel as happy as possible.

After briefly scanning the surroundings, Shazhu walked towards the middle of the street. He was here to ask for tickets. Those who had extra tickets usually stood on the curb as if nothing had happened. There was no rush from buyers. , without the eagerness of the seller, calm but silent.

Throughout the ages, trading has been nothing more than buying low and selling high, or making a gap.

For the current bills, the official price has not been set for the products in this market, so the asking price and counter-offering amount purely depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you will encounter an owner who does not offer a high price. You can simply bargain and win, but you are not lucky. Well, when you meet someone with a big mouth like a lion, even if you wear out your saliva, there is still no gain. If you are anxious to retaliate, you will be beaten by the other person, saying that you are wasting the other person's time.

When buying and selling in the ghost market, you must be flexible.

After all, people have a rule of "looking at goods without asking the price, looking at things but not people".

This can be regarded as giving Shazhu a certain amount of room for maneuver.

From the opening to the end of the ghost market, there was never any noise. The whole process was surprisingly quiet, and agreement and disagreement were expressed by nodding and shaking the head.

Silly Zhu did not directly go to the ticket seller to buy tickets. Li Xiuzhi told him not to fight with uncertainty. He first walked around from east to west. After he had a good idea, he went to the ticket seller in the middle. Several people walked away.

His task is to buy cloth tickets.

Don't care about anything else.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a tunic with four pockets caught Shazhu's eye.

This is the outfit.

It’s impossible not to attract Shazhu’s attention.

At first glance, he is a cultural person.

For some reason, Shazhu suddenly thought of Yan Fugui.

Although the man was wearing a mask, his wary and uneasy eyes betrayed his deepest thoughts. In addition, Silly Zhu saw a one-meter-square piece of new cloth in the other person's hand, so he guessed that the man had a cloth ticket in his hand. , and it was the first time for me to trade in the ghost market. Because I didn’t know how to express the fact that I had a cloth ticket, I deliberately used the one-meter-square new cloth as a cover to attract customers.

Silly Zhu walked up to the middle-aged man, and the two sides looked like they were having a meeting with our people in the movie.

"Do you have any cloth tickets?"

The voice was very low, so low that even the middle-aged man could not hear clearly. Seeing Sha Zhu staring at him, he guessed that Sha Zhu was talking to him, so he nodded hurriedly.

Silly Zhu gestured towards a corner not far away.

The middle-aged man nodded, paused for more than a minute, and then followed Silly Zhu's footsteps to this corner.

"How much?"

"Make three adult outfits."

Rain clothes.

Li Xiuzhi is all dressed up.

The man took out a cloth ticket, held it in the palm of his hand, and asked Shazhu to confirm it with the light of his flashlight.

This is also the rule.

Make sure you have something first.

Save the nonsense.

There was no trouble in the previous steps. Only when negotiating the price, something happened that made Sha Zhu feel incredible.

Silly Zhu thought that people wanted to talk to him.

That is, cuff talk.

You have one hand, and I have the other hand, and we negotiate the price with each other. We use gestures to express the numbers. First, stretch out one finger to represent the block, and then stretch out two fingers to represent the hair.

Unexpectedly, the man came to the ghost market for the first time and didn't know anything. Silly Zhu's hand talk became nonsense. Finally, he was forced to panic, and Silly Zhu whispered a price to the man.

The man shook his head slightly. He was not satisfied with the price.

Silly Zhu was really helpless. When he saw that the man came to the ghost market for the first time, he gave him a price that would be settled in one step. However, he did not expect that the man was also a henpecker, because his wife told him that when selling tickets, If the other party bids, he must shake his head, so he shakes his head vigorously towards Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu added another fifty cents to the original price.

I saw that the man was still hesitant.

Silly Zhu directly said a harsh word.

"At this price, if you agree, we will trade. If you don't agree, we will break up."

Say it.

Silly Zhu made a pretense of walking away.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was really going to leave, the man panicked and grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and said that he agreed with the price given by Sha Zhu.

Both parties pay the money and deliver the goods.

Everyone carefully observed the money and bills in their hands.

There have been farce incidents in the black market where some people used bald banknotes as new banknotes, and there have also been cases where someone resold expired bills for a second time with their dates changed.

It's always right to be careful.

Silly Zhu looked at it seriously.

Men also looked carefully.

After both parties confirm that there is no problem with the bill and money.

Leave each other.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a sound not far away.

"oops!"

Shazhu was also well-informed and knew that someone had rushed into the ghost market. He swept away his previous lazy posture and rushed towards the courtyard in a carefree manner.

Clearing the ghost market is an official statement that someone comes to clear the ghost market.

Some people took stolen goods or stolen money and came to the ghost market to spend money. People from other departments found the ghost market by following the clues. During the arrest process, the remaining people, whether they were buyers or sellers, were all in panic. , and ran towards the safe house like a fool.

Ghost market trading is illegal.

Silly Zhu encountered such a situation last time.

Unexpectedly, when I visited the ghost market for the second time ten years later, I encountered exactly the same thing as the last time.

caught.

It must be the result of the unit coming to take people away.

The penalty of salary reduction is unavoidable.

The huge ghost market looked like exploding sheep. People fled in several directions. Silly Zhu relied on his youth and rushed to the front. He only had to turn a corner to be safe.

But at this time, there was a loud roar not to move and the sound of a person falling to the ground and his body hitting the ground.

Silly Zhu knew that the road ahead was blocked, so he turned around and rushed in the opposite direction. Halfway through, he saw a wall next to him and a vague river behind him, so he immediately decided to escape over the wall.

He pushed through the crowd with all his strength, and came to the wall in three steps and two steps. He used his feet hard and grabbed the wall with both hands. Just when Silly Pillar was about to turn over, a pair of strong big hands grabbed Silly Pillar. Zhu's legs pulled down Silly Zhu hard.

Silly pillar's heart.

An instinctive sinking.

I thought someone from the department was here.

When he was dragged off the wall and looked carefully to see who the other party was, his nose was almost crooked with anger.

Dog day.

Not from the department.

It was a customer who looked exactly like Silly Zhu and came to the ghost market to buy things. His face was covered with a colorless rag, but his eyes were covered.

Silly Zhu felt a bit familiar.

Another look at the other person's figure and hairstyle.

I immediately guessed who this bastard was.

Yi Zhonghai.

Not caring much, he waved his fists and aimed at Yi Zhonghai's eyes. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Yi Zhonghai was punched and couldn't see clearly, Silly Zhu turned his fists into slaps and slapped the opponent's cheeks viciously. go.

He slapped Yi Zhonghai five or six times, and when Yi Zhonghai groaned, with the help of the inertia of running, he jumped over the wall three times and disappeared along the wall into the vast night.

Yi Zhonghai, who received two fists and several slaps from Sha Zhu, was left in place. When he came to his senses, people from the Public Security Department were already standing around him.

Look at the other person's flashlight.

Yi Zhonghai just had an idea.

dying.

Really dying.

An eighth-level worker at Tangtang Steel Rolling Mill was caught visiting the black market, which is absolutely big news.

I thought to myself, didn't I just want to take advantage of the deaf old lady to go to the hospital to exchange some things on the black market, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
