Chapter 51: Ghost Hunting

(Yesterday, the book collection and recommendations increased by more than 30 again. Book friends are very proud! I didn’t say anything, I will give you another fourth update today, this is the third update!

However, today's collection is a bit unsatisfactory! Only 13! Come on!)

Next to the woman, there was a man trembling and frightened. It was one of the people who came to congratulate him yesterday afternoon. My mother also specifically introduced that it seemed that his family had rented his own store and opened an oil shop.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan walked up and learned the reason from his mother. It turned out that the man and his wife were from other villages. For some reason, they lived in Wei County. The man was named Guo Sihai and his wife Liu.

The two of them had no children and wanted to open a shop to make a living. In the end, they fell in love with Zhang Xuan's shop with an inner room and didn't have to rent another house, so they rented it and opened an oil shop.

Fortunately, although the business was not too prosperous, it could make a living!

But just a few days ago, I always heard something in the shop at night. At first, they thought it was a mouse, so they bought a few clips. Later, the movement not only did not get smaller, but it became bigger and bigger. When they came out to check it, the movement stopped and there was no one there. Until yesterday, all the old oil was sold out and a new tank was opened. Unexpectedly, the already full tank of oil was gone.

The couple thought they had been thieves, so they hid behind another unmoved oil tank that night, holding wooden sticks, preparing to come and get their own stolen goods.

After waiting in the middle of the night, there was no one to see. The two of them thought that the thief would not come tonight. They were about to go back to sleep, but they heard the sound of "gudong gudong" coming from the oil tank, just like the sound of a person swallowing.

The two of them were scared, but this oil shop was the foundation of their lives and the lifeblood was the foundation, and they could not be misled. So they plucked up their courage and stepped forward to open the hole in the oil tank. When they heard a "squeak", a white shadow flew past between them, which scared them so much that they screamed and did not dare to move.

When I came to my senses, I saw a white mouse the size of a fist lying on the ground. My stomach was round and I looked at the oil tank and saw that it was half gone.

Seeing another big loss, the man was furious and didn't think about how a mouse with a big fist could eat nearly half a tank of oil at one time, pick up a wooden stick, and chase it.

For a moment, the "squeak" sound of a mouse, the angry shout of a man, and the "bang" sound of a wooden stick hitting it, mixed together, making it very lively.

The mouse was extremely flexible and disappeared after a few turns.

The two of them couldn't catch up with the culprit. Looking at the messy shop, they felt worried and couldn't help but feel sad.

Just as the two were crying for the rat in the store, they suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming, and they shivered unconsciously. Then a "whimpering" cry came.

The two of them forced themselves to hide their fear, turned their heads slowly, and looked in the sound, but saw a female ghost with disheveled hair, blood and tears in her eyes, and a long tongue floating there.

Seeing the two of them looking at her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but the smile was matched with her face, which was so terrifying no matter how you looked! Then the ghost flashed and came to the two of them. Her long bright red tongue licked the two of them. The cold and wet touch made them scream in shock, and their eyes fainted.

After listening to the two of them, Zhang Xuan and Zhao Wan'er looked at each other and smiled. They basically understood what was going on, but some questions remained to be verified.

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts! There are ghosts in your shop, with bloody eyes and long tongues, they are hanged ghosts!" Liu screamed loudly.

"Okay, you guys get up first, the sky is blue and the sun is bright, where does the ghost come from?" Zhang Xuan persuaded.

"There are ghosts, there are really ghosts!" Seeing that Zhang Xuan claimed that there were no ghosts, Liu thought they wanted to refuse and roll. He sat on the ground and said with a tantrum: "Okay! What kind of wish do you rent the haunted shop to us? I don't care. If you don't refund the rent today and compensate us for the losses, I won't get up."

It turns out that this is the real reason why the two of them got here, and they have to pay compensation.

"Zi Bu said that the strange powers are in chaos. Where do monsters and monsters come from in this important area of ​​the county?" This is not Zhang Xuan's nonsense. Wei County is a large county with a dense population. It is protected by human luck. Ordinary monsters dare not come in casually. Haven't you seen that the fox demon Liu Mei in the Jindan stage dare not enter the city casually, but choose to start outside the city?

"Okay! Your Zhang family is here to bully us ordinary people because of a scholar. Oh my god, is there any reason for the law?" No matter how everyone persuaded him, Liu refused to get up and just rolled on the ground. Guo Sihai next to him said nothing.

Seeing his mother's angry but helpless look, Zhang Xuan lost the patience of persuasion, pointed at Liu, and shouted: "You don't even look at what this place is. How can you let you go here? If you make trouble, I will report to the official and punish you for being a traitor!"

When they heard Zhang Xuan's harsh shouting, the two were frightened. Zhang Xuan was a scholar, and they were just civilians from other places. If they really made trouble in the government, they would definitely suffer the losses.

That's why they wanted to pay attention to this tantrum. The two of them thought that the Zhang family's scholar would definitely not be able to hold back their faces and get a lot of compensation at that time, but they didn't want to meet Zhang Xuan, who was so unreasonable.

When they heard that they wanted to see the official, the two of them were immediately scared and dared not speak.

"Okay, can't you get up?"

The two stood up hesitantly, but their expressions were still unwilling. Guo Sihai gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to walk to Zhang Xuan, bowing: "Mr. Zhang, don't compensate me, you just want to refund the rent to us."

"Okay, I will naturally find out the haunted oil shop. You will stay in the Zhang Mansion tonight. I will go to the oil shop to guard. I will give you an explanation tomorrow. Our Zhang family is not a family of evil gentry. If it is really our cause, we will naturally compensate you according to the price! Uncle Zhong, please take them both!"

Zhang Xuan still understands this principle by making a stick and giving a sweet date. Moreover, keeping them at home will save them from talking nonsense, which will ruin the reputation of the Zhang family. Although the monthly rent of the shop is not large, only one or two silver dollars, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. The key is that they can flow slowly.

As for reputation, it is even more important. If the rumors of the Zhang family's haunted are spread, there will inevitably be discussions outside, saying that the Zhang family has done something wrong or has lacked virtue! Otherwise, how could they attract ghosts?

If you meet those jealous people, you will be angry when you see Zhang Xuan being a scholar at a young age. With this matter, you may have another storm!

After hearing Zhang Xuan's promise, Guo Sihai and his wife hesitated and followed Uncle Zhong.

After the two left, Zhang's mother held Zhang Xuan's hand with a worried look on her face and said, "Xuan'er, I don't think they look like they are lying. If there are really ghosts, wouldn't you be dangerous? Look at her, Xuan'er, you'd better not go there. Why don't you ask a Taoist priest to catch ghosts?"

"Mom, don't worry, the child is a scholar and has a righteous spirit. Moreover, now that the child is full of fame and fortune, how can ordinary ghosts be close to him?" Seeing that his mother was still hesitant, Zhang Xuan advised again: "Mom, the child is not those weak scholars who are powerless, but he has mastered swordsmanship. Moreover, the child is not alone tonight, and Wan'er is with him. She is a female hero with great martial arts skills!"

Li also knew that his son was good at swordsmanship, and his prospective daughter-in-law was also a master, but after all, he was an ordinary person. How could he feel at ease to face ghosts?

"Besides, Mom, if someone knows that our family is haunted and suing the government, it may be hindered from the child's fame!"

At this time, people value fame and fortune more than anything else. When they heard that they were hindered by fame, Li had to let go of their worries first and just told Zhang Xuan not to show off.

Zhang Xuan, Wan'er and Bao'er comforted him again, and Li gradually calmed down.

After dinner, Zhao Wan'er also came. Zhang Xuan packed up his luggage, held the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and went to catch ghosts with his wife.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the door, Zhang's mother said, "Xuan'er, you and Wan'er are about to get married, let alone ruin their health in advance. Do you know if you feel wronged?"

Zhang Xuan was shocked: "Are you like such an impatient person?"
