017, in the funeral street
It's about five o'clock in the afternoon.
It looked like it was about an hour before dark.
Du Gui carried a bag and went out.
He thinks that if he can't stay away from the ten-mile radius, it will be an endless cycle.
When a supernatural event breaks out, others can run away, but you can't even try to run away.
The only way.
Only by cooking for ghosts and letting ghosts leave things to pay off the debt can you have the ability to protect yourself.
but……
Home Inns are not specially opened for ghosts. It is not yet clear why ghosts come to our hotel, so uncontrollable factors account for the majority.
It's all about luck.
So Du Gui had to take the initiative.
"If there are no guests, then I will go there."
"Find a weaker ghost first. I have a kitchen knife, stockings, high heels, and the key on me. An ordinary ghost will definitely not be able to kill me."
"This way I can lure ghosts to my house and do business on the spot."
"I won't accept the money. It must be ghost coins anyway. If those ghost guests insist on giving money, I will say that the rules of Home Inn have changed and we can only barter."
"No matter what kind of ghost it is, you have to leave something behind, otherwise you won't be able to leave."
"If there is nothing, then remove some parts, such as hair and nails. Anyway, I just pluck my hair. What can they do to me?"
Du Gui's thinking is very clear.
In fact, there is no other way. He just wants to run a good business and earn some money to live an ordinary life.
Who would have thought that the sudden change in Anzhou would turn his life into pieces.
…
Funeral Street is a street 100 meters behind the old street where Home Inn is located.
That place used to be a business place, and it was a mess.
Most of them are small shops.
Later, the crematorium was moved nearby, and the whole street began to engage in the dead business, specializing in selling paper people and horses.
Generally speaking.
Crematoria and funeral streets are both haunted places.
Because things related to the dead make living people very uncomfortable, and the thought of them makes them feel unlucky and avoid them.
While the sun hasn't set yet.
Du Gui arrived at the funeral street.
He also met Zhang Quanyou at this place yesterday.
He felt that maybe he could meet a ghost here.
As for why not go to the crematorium.
First, because it is far away, it will be almost dark when he comes back. The place where he is is the intersection of yin and yang. Going out at night will be very dangerous in Anzhou's current situation.
Standing at the entrance of Funeral Street.
Du Gui looked around and saw paper figures and horses placed at the door of the two rows of houses on the left and right, as well as wreaths, gold ingots and silver ingots.
The shop owners saw Du Gui.
They all said hello.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Du? When did you come back?!"
"Is this back open for business again?"
"I'm not saying that it's really not possible to open a restaurant in this area. We are all old neighbors. Who has nothing to eat out? People from outside are sending their dead to the crematorium, and they won't eat at your place."
"You might as well close the restaurant, sell your cousin's house, and start a business with us."
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense."
Du Guipi greeted those people with a smile.
But I felt very uncomfortable.
In the entire ten-mile radius, there is actually only one funeral street connected with the old street. He and these people who trade in dead people are all old neighbors.
We are neighbors, so naturally there will be friction.
Why are you taking my business, and I'm taking your business?
Du Gui walked in with his head down.
He remembered clearly that his parents were admitted to the hospital a few years ago, and they were made angry by these people. Because at that time it was said that demolition was going to be carried out, and his family was small, so some people wanted to spend money and buy connections to take over their house.
Bought it.
The price offered was very small, so his parents were naturally unwilling.
The reason why those people dared to do this was to bully Du Gui's family, which consisted of only three members, and the cousin's family was the only one left.
The more backward a place is, the easier it is for this kind of thing to happen.
When there are few people, it is easy to be bullied.
At this moment.
Du Gui paused.
He stopped in front of a paper shop.
It's different from other stores. The paper figures at the entrance of this store are almost collapsed, as if they weren't taken in by the boss when it rained yesterday.
The store door is closed.
Moreover, this store looks very new, like it was just opened.
Du Gui frowned and glanced at the side. All the shops around him seemed to have closed down on this paper-making shop, and they also didn't open their doors.
"There's something wrong..."
Ever since the perception was broken.
Du Gui realized that people and things he thought were normal were not necessarily normal.
If people want to see ghosts, they must either have special abilities or have a very strong Yin energy.
This is also the reason why the ghost bus is driving on the road in broad daylight, but no one stops it. Those people cannot see it at all.
Relatively speaking.
Du Gui can see more.
At this time, in his eyes, this paper-making shop was very strange, with a permeable aura everywhere.
"Is there a ghost in this store?"
An idea came to Du Gui's mind. He hesitated and did not dare to knock on the door.
Instead, he took off his backpack and carried it on his chest.
Inside the backpack were kitchen knives and high heels.
The stockings are in his pocket and the key is in his wallet.
"Do you want to go in?"
Du Gui was in trouble. He knew that his problem was serious and he had to muster up the courage to deal with ghosts in order to protect his safety.
But ghosts can kill people...
What if there really is a ghost in this paper shop?
What if the ghost in the paper shop is very vicious?
Aren’t you the food delivered to your door?
"Forget it……"
"I'd better go to the vegetable market and see if Aunt Ma is there. She is probably a ghost too. I bought her vegetables yesterday morning, but she didn't pay attention to me. Maybe she is frail and sick because of her age. I'll find some old and weak ones.
Sick and disabled ghosts can be easily provoked."
Du Gui muttered a few times, turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this moment.
suddenly……
The sound of the door opening suddenly sounded from behind.
As soon as Du Gui turned his head, he saw that the door of the paper-making shop had been opened a crack and was ajar.
Through the crack in the door, a human face can be seen.
The man had a sallow face, a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and looked very awkward. He had a bulbous nose and thick lips. He looked like he was in his forties.
At this time, the man was facing the crack in the door, staring at Du Gui who was standing outside.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
Du Gui looked strange.
This is a completely unfamiliar face, not an acquaintance from the old neighborhood.
At the very least, he searched through his memory and couldn't find a face so ugly that he couldn't find any adjectives.
"This little brother, what are you sneaking around and muttering outside my store? What do you want to do?"
The sound of a broken throat sounds like a headache.
Du Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
He can talk, so he is a human being...
And this made him embarrassed again. He couldn't say that he wanted to attract some ghost guests to the Home Inn for dinner, and that he was going to pluck the geese's feathers and trick him into something...
then.
Du Gui cleared his throat and said, "Brother, to be honest, a friend of mine just died yesterday. His only wish before he died was to use the latest Apple mobile phone. I'm thinking of saving some money for the funeral."
Go down the street to see if there are any paper-made ones and burn one for them."
"There's nothing selling it nearby. I searched all the way to the door of your store. I guess you don't have any in your store, so I'll leave right away so as not to delay your business."
After saying that, Du Gui turned around and left.
But the middle-aged man hiding in the crack of the door said quietly: "Little brother, don't leave in a hurry. Although my store doesn't have the latest iPhone model made of paper, I can give you one ready-made to satisfy your friends.
My dying wish..."
"come in."
As the words fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
