[Seven-Five + Liaozhai] Catching ghosts to see the mood

A woman's gentle voice suddenly sounded behind me, which made me freeze in place, and even the little donkey was frightened and motionless.

This underworld is very dark, and there are those things that are about to move not far away, so I dare not lead this donkey around at will, for fear of falling into a trap.

It stands to reason that there are no human beings in this underworld, after all, it is the underworld if you go any further.

But the girl behind her seemed to be a human being, and I didn't feel any femininity on her body when I stood here, so I could turn my head with confidence.

When we saw the people behind us clearly, she and I were taken aback.

Seeing the Zhengwang lamp burning in the girl's hand, I suddenly laughed.

Leading people into the world and leading souls into prison

I actually ran into a guide here, it seems that I can get out of this underworld.

Although this girl is wearing a veiled hat, she can be seen to be a beauty, but I was attracted by the inlaid jade waffle on her head, which is crystal clear and exquisite. Compare.

He was really wearing gold and silver, holding a guiding light in his right hand and a string of Hetian jade bracelets in his left.

How can I, a monster catcher, check so many with other people's guides?

While I was looking at the other person, she was also looking at me, but because of the cover of the veil, her sight was not so obvious.

"The girl is the apprentice of Mr. Zhang from Nanshan, how could she enter this underworld by mistake?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention this, I really feel a little helpless.

I stretched out my hand and patted the donkey beside me, and I twitched the corner of my mouth at the girl with a helpless smile: "It turns out that the girl knows the teacher of the family, and I went to Nanshan's big disciple Haitang. The donkey was brought into the underworld and was thinking about how to get out."

Hearing what I said, the girl burst out laughing, walked in slowly, stretched out the hand holding the bracelet and touched the big head of my donkey, "Follow me."

"okay!"

Holding the rein of the donkey, I followed the girl and started walking the way I had come.

The previous impression of this guide was completely based on what the old master said, and what was mentioned in the books about the ghosts and strange stories. It was really the first time for a young girl to get on the sedan chair when she saw a real person.

There is nothing I can do if I strayed into the underworld and can't get out. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and my master and other old people didn't teach me in this regard.

Fortunately, this donkey didn't take me too far in the underworld, so the direction of the trip took me a cup of tea, and the girl stopped, "Go forward and you can return to the world, and I will take you here .”

Looking in the direction the girl pointed, I seemed to see the intersection of the world and the underworld, and there were hurrying passers-by on the other side.

"Hai Tang is here to thank the girl for leading the way."

I met this girl by accident, but I have a hunch that we will meet again.

After thanking the other party, I led the donkey and prepared to walk towards the intersection, but the girl behind me said again: "Give my regards to your master."

"kindness?"

I turned around and found that there was no figure there, the girl had long since disappeared, and I stood among the passing crowd again.

This guide is really a mysterious existence.

Seeing a blue silk thread suddenly appearing in front of my eyes, I stretched out my hand to cut off the thread, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

No wonder the book couldn't describe the appearance of this guide. It turned out that this girl would pull out the other person's memory of herself without helping someone. It's just that the two of us are considered colleagues, and she couldn't pull out my memory.

"Donkey, this time we have to see the way before we go."

Turning over on the donkey, I patted the donkey's buttocks and directed it to go in the direction of Anping Town.

Just like what the uncle said, after walking for two hours at this speed, I finally arrived at Anping Town with the donkey at sunset.

"Donkey, let's get a good night's sleep tonight, and work hard tomorrow to save money."

I had calculated it on the way here before, and now that the remaining money is used for meals, there is still enough money to stay in a hotel for two nights, and the room here is not bad.

To use Master's words, don't suffer yourself when you go out, because he has caused me less trouble.

Walking into this inn, which is neither too big nor too small in Anping Town, I stared at the four characters of Tongfu Inn on the plaque, fearing that I might have hallucinations due to the exhaustion of the journey, so I rubbed my eyes on purpose.

Along the way, I also passed two towns, each of which has an inn called Tongfu Inn, which made me have to admire the owner, who really spread the family business all over the Song Dynasty.

The opening of this chain store is really a success.

"Yo guest officer, are you a top-notch or staying in a hotel?"

Probably because I stood at the door leading the donkey for a long time, the waiter in the store ran out and took the rein of the donkey in my hand very kindly.

"Stay at the hotel."

So I stayed in this inn, and after asking for a big bucket of hot water, I took a fairly comfortable hot bath.

I took out all the things in the package and put them on the table. I thought about writing a signboard, otherwise people would not know what I was doing, and the doctor would even walk around the streets with a signboard on his back.

Ask Xiao Er to bring a pen and paper, and I write a few big characters with the pen.

[Fortune-telling and fortune-telling package]

The more I look at these words, the more pleasing I feel. Everything is ready and I am waiting for the stall tomorrow.

I left the inn early in the morning of the second day, planning to find a place with a lot of people, and finally I sat down at the arch bridge.

There are people coming and going here, and the passenger flow is quite large.

It's just that when my fortune-telling was spread out on the branch, there were still people watching, but no one paid attention to me afterwards.

It can be said that business is bleak.

Nibbling on the dry food I carried with me, I wondered if there was something wrong with my business method.

It is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit and wait, so after eating the pie, I clapped my hands and cheered up.

It so happened that an old woman in a hurry passed by in front of the fortune-telling booth, so I stopped her and opened my black bamboo fan and shook it.

"Ma'am, you look heavy and hurried, but something happened at home?"

"What nonsense!"

After hearing what I said, the aunt immediately became unhappy, and started yelling at me. If it wasn't for the bamboo fan, the spittle from her mouth would fly to my face without any waste. superior.

Almost everyone will look like this when they hear a fortune teller say that there is an accident in their family, and they may even smash the fortune-telling booth.

At this time, I have to trick the other party bit by bit, no, I will explain it to the other party slowly.

Shaking my bamboo fan, I slowly opened my mouth: "Mother, don't get angry, first see if I'm right, if not, you can smash my stall."

Now the aunt has the bottom line in her heart, but she still yells that if it is not true, it will ruin my business.

I took a closer look at the face of the aunt, and I guessed it roughly. I squeezed a yellow talisman from the table and handed it to the other party: "Auntie, someone close to your family is seriously ill but cannot be cured for a long time. Swallow this yellow talisman with the patient. , after a cup of tea, spit out a cloud of filth, and come back after that for another talisman."

The aunt took the yellow talisman and left suspiciously, but I just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea calmly.

Master said that at this time, the aura cannot be lost.

There are more and more people watching the excitement around, probably preparing to watch me get smashed.

This is really the state of the world. I am a weak woman who comes out to tell fortunes to earn money, and this group of people are waiting to see my jokes. It is really heartbreaking.

In less than a stick of incense, the aunt rushed over from the other side of the bridge, and the joyful expression on her face made her eyebrows almost fly.

"Girl, I fed this yellow talisman to our guy as you said, and he really vomited a big ball of black stuff with a foul smell!"

This aunt can be said to have advertised me, and the people watching the excitement all around were amazed.

"Girl, I'm here to ask you for another talisman."

Raising my eyebrows, I picked up the bamboo fan and pointed to the signboard I wrote last night, and there was a line of small characters on it.

[Each talisman is fifty words, should I counter the price! 】

I can say that I made a net profit of [-] Wen when these two talismans were sold out. Although it is a bit expensive, it saved a life anyway.

"By the way, auntie, if you ask uncle, you ate something you shouldn't eat. Don't eat it by mistake next time."

"Hey!"

The uncle of this aunt's family probably ate food that was contaminated by evil spirits, so it became like this, but I remind you here that it is considered as benevolent and righteous.

After I sent my aunt away, my fortune-telling booth was surrounded by many people. There were countless people who were looking for safety, marriage, and fortune.

The copper coins I earned this day were very heavy, and I even went to the bank to exchange some broken silver back.

Today's harvest is really good, and we will continue to work hard tomorrow.

There are not many people looking at their faces, but there are quite a few women seeking marriage. Maybe I can develop my second career in Anping Town.

In order not to make my customers wait in a hurry, I went out to set up a stall early in the morning the next day. As soon as I sat on the chair, a pink soft sedan stopped in front of my stall.

"Girl, my lady wants to ask for a marriage."

The one who came forward was a little girl who looked like a maid, but with a maid and a soft sedan chair, she looked like a lady from a rich family.

I opened the fan and shook it, and I glanced in the direction of the charming girl, "In this case, please let me see your lady's right hand, if we don't look at the face, then let's look at the palmistry."

"This……"

After hesitating for a while, the little maid went back to the soft sedan chair and whispered something to the girl inside, and quickly called me over.

"Girl please."

"That's offended."
