Jiang Hao took out his bag from the front door and handed a cigarette to his brother.
The man called Gangzi was a tall and thin man. He took the cigarette and took a puff: "I asked my mother, and she said that these words came from the mouth of the fat aunt next door, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hao suddenly threw the cigarette butt on the ground, picked up a brick and rushed directly to the other party's house.
The fat aunt who was washing clothes was startled by the menacing Jiang Hao.
"Why are you ruining my girl's reputation secretly? Tell me!"
His tone was cold and his eyes were fierce.
The fat aunt was frightened and quickly distanced herself from the relationship: "I also heard that it was Xiao Lin who said it, and it has nothing to do with me."
"I'm warning you! If I hear you ruining Xiaoyun's reputation again, huh! Don't blame me for being rude!"
He kicked over the fat aunt's washing tub and walked away.
As long as you find one point, you can follow the clues and grasp the source of the rumor. Throughout the afternoon, every door in the alley was closed, for fear that this life-threatening madman would come to find trouble.
After smashing the windows of several houses, Jiang Hao finally found out the originator of the rumor.
"It's what the old doctor at the alley said. When you two just came back with the bicycle, everyone suspected that the bicycle was stolen, but they never thought about selling blood and body. It was all that evil old man. It was him.
!”
Jiang Hao glared at his neighbor: "You are not a good guy either!"
He turned around and went straight to the old doctor's house.
"Pah! Pah! Pah -"
He knocked on the door loudly!
The old doctor's curse came from the room: "Who is it! That bastard, you knock on the door so hard, you will have to pay for it if it breaks!"
Jiang Hao outside the door had a dark face and remained calm, waiting for the other party to open the door.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened. He saw the right moment and slammed towards the door.
The old doctor was hit by the sudden force and staggered back several steps. He was about to curse, but when he saw who it was, he swallowed back the curse words.
He said with a shy face: "Hey, it turns out to be Jiang Hao. He moved so much. Is your sister sick again?"
"Bah! You old guy, you can't curse anyone. Curse my sister. Believe it or not, I've smashed all of you today!"
Jiang Hao's tone was crazy, his eyes were fierce, and he flashed the bricks in his hand at him, as if he was going to take action if he didn't go his way.
The old doctor trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "Then...then...what are you doing to me?"
Jiang Hao raised the corners of his lips coldly and sneered: "Humph, what am I here to do? Don't you have any appreciation for the good things you have done?"
The old man thumped. He had done many things before. How did he know what they were...
"Stop being so verbose and come with me!" Jiang Hao didn't talk nonsense to him and directly dragged him out the door.
This time the old man was even more frightened, and he immediately cried and begged: "Xiao Jiang, old man, I usually have a bad mouth and like to deceive people. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
No matter how much he begged, Jiang Hao just took him home. The neighbors who were hiding in the house along the way all looked out of the windows.
"It's not difficult for me to let you go. You can tell me honestly what bad things you have done."
The hand that pinched the opponent's wrist secretly exerted force, causing the little old man to scream in pain.
"Ah——, I said, I said!"
He was really scared and said a lot in one breath: "I'm actually not a doctor at all. I just worked as an apprentice in a drug store for a while when I was young. I also peeked at the neighbor's aunts taking a bath. There was a fat aunt..."
When the neighbors who were watching the theater heard that their names were called, they all rushed out, grabbed the man and beat him up.
"You old gangster, you won't even let go of my 80-year-old mother! I'll beat you to death!"
"Tell me, I lose my underwear every three days, did you steal it?!"
"The medicines you prescribed for me to regulate my body, no wonder I haven't had any effect after taking them for several years. I want my money back!"
For a time, there were many people surrounding the old doctor. Jiang Hao was happy to see that he didn't have to do it himself.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to make up nonsense about my sister again, be careful with your old bones!"
During this battle, everyone in the alley knew that Jiang Hao was a maniac about doting on his sister. They could offend him, but they must not offend his sister.
"You brat, you are finally willing to come back. After making such a big fuss, have you avenged your sister?"
Wang Mei scolded her son, but she held a towel in her hand to wipe his sweat.
"The matter has been resolved, Mom, don't worry, Xiaoyun's reputation will not be ruined."
The stone in her heart fell to the ground, and Wang Mei let out a long sigh of relief: "Hurry up and take a rest. Mom will go and prepare something delicious for you two."
Jiang Yun walked up to her eldest brother and said in a sincere tone: "Brother, it's great to have you."
"Hi, we are brothers and sisters. We will have dinner later. You go to bed early. I will call you in the early morning."
She nodded obediently, looking forward to the next trip to the ghost market.
Time flew by and it was two o'clock in the morning. Jiang Yun woke up sleepily at the urging of her elder brother.
The brother and sister simply washed up and had breakfast, then got on their bicycles and went out.
The night is dim and the moonlight is bright, as if everything is declaring the sovereignty of the night.
Under the dim light of the street lights, the two of them rode along and arrived at a very high bridge.
"Xiaoyun, we are here."
Jiang Yun was stunned: "Where is it? Why didn't I see anything?" There was nothing on the bridge.
"Under the bridge, this is a dry bridge. The ghost market is in the bridge hole below. Listen carefully."
Jiang Yun listened carefully, and sure enough she heard the sounds of people in the noisy market. Some were shouting, some were bargaining, and it was very lively.
After getting off the bridge, the two quickly found the ghost market. There were no street lights under the bridge, and it was pitch black. They could vaguely see the crowds of people walking back and forth and the faint lights.
"Brother, it's so dark here, how can we do business?"
Jiang Hao explained with a smile: "Some of the things in the ghost market are real and fake, and some have unknown origins. They are not allowed to be exposed to the light, so you have to keep your eyes open when you come here to hunt for treasures."
Unexpectedly, there was so much knowledge here, Jiang Yun nodded.
He continued: "By the way, the ghost market has a rule of no questions. Please don't speak randomly for a while."
"Why don't you ask?" Jiang Yun became interested.
"Don't ask about authenticity, don't ask about the provenance, don't ask about the price."
She understood the first two, but without asking about the price, it was a bit strange: "Isn't business just about bargaining? If you don't ask about the price, how can I bargain?"
She understood the first two, but without asking about the price, it was a bit strange: "Isn't business just about bargaining? If you don't ask about the price, how can I bargain?"
"It's called price negotiation here. If you like something, just quote a price directly to the boss, and then we'll discuss it in detail."
Jiang Yun laughed evilly: "Then I will deliberately quote a low price, hehe."
"You think those bosses are all fools. If you dare to open a business, there must be someone who dares to sell it. I'm afraid they will drive you away when they get angry, hahaha."
While they were joking, the brother and sister unknowingly walked into the ghost market.

Author's Little Theater:
Wei Tu was eager: "Oh my God! Let me see my wife quickly! One day without seeing her is like three autumns."
The author snickered: "See you in three years, hehe."
Wei Tu raised his knife: "Do you see what I have in my hand?"
The author immediately panicked: "Right away, right away..."
