Chapter 2 Your days are up
"Selling ghosts?!"
Li Yuelin's face was slightly stagnant. There were all kinds of business in the world, but he had never heard of anyone selling ghosts. He was anxious and puzzled in his heart, and he hurriedly urged: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Li Yi took a sip of tea first and recalled it briefly before he slowly began to tell it.
………………………………………
It was a night road, and I was originally doing business near the capital.
I was very careful and always felt that even if I didn't make much money, at least I wouldn't lose all my money if I stuck to those big guys.
What a pity, I still lost.
I'm so stupid, so stupid.
The big men in the dynasty were kind on the surface, but when they started, they were more ruthless than anyone else, and they were more ruthless than anyone else. They were drained from their bones and stripped away their flesh and blood, and they could not keep their old fortunes.
I lost money and had no face to go back to my hometown.
I had to wander around outside, thinking about whether I could find a way to make a comeback, but I still couldn't imagine that I would go home, but I just returned to my hometown in a mess, and I was really unwilling and unwilling to give up.
I walked around and at some point, I walked under the old locust tree on Sanli Road outside the city.
It was at this time that I met a ghost.
It suddenly appeared at that time.
I plucked up the courage to ask it who it was.
He said, "I am a ghost!"
Then I asked me: "Who are you?"
I was so poor that I was dying of poverty at that time, but I was still afraid of death. I said that people would die, and gritted my teeth and said, "I am also a ghost!"
The ghost was puzzled and walked around me for a while and said:
"Then where are you going?"
I replied to him, "I want to go to Wancheng City."
The ghost said happily: "I want to go to Wancheng City too!"
I was cold all over and knew that this market might not be the same, but I had already said that I could not swallow it back.
So, that ghost has followed me.
I had no choice but to go with him.
A ghost was behind me, my hands and feet were stiff, and the ghost was relaxed and said: "It's too slow to walk like this and it's too tiring. Why don't we keep each other behind each other's back?"
The ghost stared at me, his eyes were green, and I didn't dare to refuse, for fear that he would see something.
Just grit your teeth and agree.
The ghost first carried me on his back and walked for ten miles in one breath.
Then he asked, "Why are you so serious? You are not a ghost?"
When the ghost was talking, his eyes turned green, fangs stretched out from the corners of his mouth, and water flowed out.
My heart was about to stop beating, so I had to force myself to say:
"I just died, so it's just heavy, don't think too much."
Then I was carrying him on my back, and the ghost was floating, so I could speed up my pace. I exchanged each other and walked with my back for three times. The fear in my heart was a little less. After thinking about it for a long time, I would definitely reveal the content and would inevitably be eaten by the ghost, so I lied to him:
"I just died and just became a ghost. Are there any taboos in being a ghost?"
The ghost replied: "I don't like blood on the tip of my tongue."
Then when I walked forward, I encountered a river. When the ghost passed by, it almost floated over without any sound. When I passed by, it sounded loudly.
The ghost began to doubt me again.
This time, there was a red light in his eyes, and saliva at the corner of his mouth had flowed down. Even his fingers were stretched out with black nails, and like a hook, his fingers turned into miserable green:
"Why is it so loud?!"
My heart was about to jump out, but he didn't seem to notice it.
I had to force my face and said:
"I just died, I became a ghost after death. I am not used to crossing the river by being a ghost. Don't blame me."
The ghost stared at me up and down without making any noise.
I think it was not that he couldn't recognize me, but he treated me as a livestock mount. He planned to go to the ghost market before selling me, digging my heart, and getting cramps and marrow...
As expected, he did not go to the regular market, but went to the big locust tree outside Wancheng, knocked on the door three times, shouted several times, and then the road came out. I made up my mind and took advantage of the opportunity of mutual support and carried him up.
He ran inside quickly and shouted, "Sell ghosts, sell ghosts!"
That ghost didn't expect-
When people are poor, ghosts will sell them.
The ghost shouted on me that when he was about to climb down, he used the technique of change and turned into a sheep. He broke free and bit his tongue. Blood on the tip of his tongue sprayed on him, and he could not change any more.
But I was worried that he would change back after a long time, so I sold him to an old Taoist priest who led the sheep with a jade-inlaid rope and pulled it away.
I gave me a package, my heart beat hard, ran back to a safe place, opened it and almost dazzled my eyes.
There are a total of 150 taels of gold inside.

A pot of tea has been finished.
Li Yixian's story was finished. When he spoke, his palms were trembling and he finally settled down. It was obvious that even though he recalled it clearly, he was so scared at that time.
If you are about to make a mistake, even if you take a step, you may be dead.
Li Yuelin almost forgot to drink tea, and then comforted his brothers with a good voice, and Li Yi let out a sigh and said, "But now, we have so much gold, so much gold."
“Our family can not only gain a foothold here.”
"You can also go out, go to the capital, and go to the county city!"
“Go to a bigger place!”
"I am not sorry for my ancestors, I am not sorry for my parents!"
Li Yixian's words became a little messy again.
Li Yuelin comforted him, and suddenly thought of something, looked at the gold on the table and said, "But these golds are obtained by selling evil ghosts in the ghost market. Will they attract more evil ghosts?"
Li Yixian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, brother."
"I was worried about such a thing, so I went to the capital, prayed devoutly in the Taoist temple there, and asked the Taoist priest to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil spirits. Then I calmed down and returned to my home in Zhongzhou."
"I don't plan to go out again when I go home this time."
"Get married and settle down."
"rest assured."
Li Yixian smiled and comforted:
"Absolutely, there will be no problem."

The axe fell and split the firewood.
Qi Wuhuo raised his axe and looked at the firewood that had been split up beside him, then raised his head to look at the mountain in the distance - under the sun, this mountain gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.
"The snow is not heavy, and the mountains are not blocked."
"It's a good thing."
Speaking of which, tomorrow is the time when Li Puyu invites him to the Li family.
