When Deng Deyou woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
The administrator tried his best to drag Deng Deyou, who was stunned by electricity, to the bed in the office.
After confirming that Deng Deyou was breathing normally but fainted, the administrator gave up the plan of going out to find a doctor and planned to wait until dawn if the condition did not improve before going out.
At this time, the administrator was worried about leaving his boss alone in the warehouse.
Also, the administrator did not dare to go out alone. It was better to have an unconscious person by his side than to have no one at all.
After Deng Deyou woke up, he shook his head, glanced at the wall deep in the warehouse uneasily, took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to the administrator beside him, agreeing to his resignation.
He didn't want to stay for breakfast. Watching the administrator lock the warehouse and hand him the key, Deng Deyou got in the car and rushed towards the downtown chamber of commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce is making New Year's resolutions recently, and all management will put aside their work to participate.
When Deng Deyou arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, he finally felt a little more at ease when he saw Uncle Ding, Jing Fei and Gu Yongnian. After sitting down, after drinking a cup of hot tea, he started to curse, as if he wanted to express all the grievances he had suffered during the day.
Everyone listened to Deng Deyou scolding for half an hour, and finally figured out what happened.
The honorary vice president who had suffered from a strange illness told Deng Deyou that he knew the residence of the young Taoist priest who had saved them.
Since we encountered an evil thing, the young Taoist priest would definitely be able to deal with it, but I didn’t know if the Taoist priest would be willing to take action.
The honorary vice president said that he was willing to help Deng Deyou to ask for a favor.
Deng Deyou looked at Uncle Ding and when he saw Uncle Ding nodded slightly, he agreed with the honorary vice president to help him go and talk to the young Taoist priest.
After the chamber of commerce meeting ended, others dispersed and left, leaving the four of them alone in the conference room.
"Brother Qin Feng and that guy from Chujiu haven't replied yet? With their ability, they don't have to live in the mountains, and they don't have much money to buy a house in the city."
Deng Deyou complained impatiently, but Jing Fei teased him. How could he, a layman who only knew how to flip logs, understand the thoughts of an expert? Aren't the immortals in novels all living in deep mountains and valleys?
"Let's take a look at the situation first. It would be best if the Taoist priest Wang Shi said can solve it. If it can't be solved, wait a few days before school starts. Qin Feng and Chujiu will definitely come to school."
Uncle Ding means that if you can solve the problem with a small amount of money, you don't need to owe us any more favors. Now is a special situation. If you can't find us, you can only use the solution at hand first.
Deng Deyou did not go to the warehouse that night. The next day, when the honorary vice president named Wang Shi came to the chamber of commerce, he grabbed Deng Deyou's arm and said, "Good news, that expert has agreed to help."
Wang Shi told Deng Deyou that he said a lot of good things, and the expert agreed to help.
However, the young Taoist priest said that because he had just helped Fan Shi exorcise evil spirits and cure his illness, he had used up too much energy. If he helped Fan Shi with the rituals again, there would definitely be damage.
It is indispensable to ask for some natural and earthly treasures to supplement, and a merit payment of 10,000 yuan. If you agree, I will arrange to meet with Deng Deyou first.
Hearing the figure of ten thousand yuan, Deng Deyou felt a heartache.
I really have to rush to the warehouse to pick up the goods in the near future, otherwise I would rather wait a few more days for the money to be given to Chujiu and me.
Deng Deyou weighed the importance in his mind, gritted his teeth and agreed to the request, asking Wang Shi to arrange a meeting with the young Taoist priest as soon as possible.
Wang Shi's work efficiency was quite good. He made a phone call and said that he would take Deng Deyou to see the young Taoist priest in the afternoon.
Before going out, Deng Deyou didn't have time to go to the bank to withdraw money, so he asked Jing Fei to take 10,000 yuan and put it in his pocket.
The place where the young Taoist priest lives is an ordinary single-story courtyard in the suburbs.
When Wang Shi knocked on the door, the answer came with some joy.
When a young man wearing a monk's robe opened the door and saw Deng Deyou standing at the door, his face instantly turned cold.
The young man gritted his teeth and told Deng Deyou that if he wanted to solve the haunting problem, he would have to spend 100,000 yuan. Otherwise, he would continue to suffer from the haunted state of the warehouse. I believe it won't be long before the business district will know that there are unclean things in Deng Deyou's furniture warehouse.
"Didn't we agree on ten thousand?"
Deng Deyou looked at the young man and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Now I have changed my mind. I want one hundred thousand! I dare say your warehouse is haunted and only I can handle it. Think about it carefully."
After saying this, the young Taoist priest closed the door of the courtyard.
Deng Deyou looked at Wang Shi, who also looked embarrassed and said that he didn't know it would be like this.
"That's the way it is."
Back at the Chamber of Commerce, Deng Deyou explained the situation to Uncle Ding and the others.
"Does it look familiar to you? Have you ever offended someone before? Otherwise, why would your attitude suddenly change and the lion would open his mouth? One hundred thousand yuan is enough to buy a house."
Jing Fei thought about it, and there was only one possibility, that is, Deng Deyou had offended this person before, and he recognized Deng Deyou and deliberately made things difficult for him.
"Since I started doing business, I have only had a few young customers, and they are definitely not business people." Deng Deyou thought for a while and answered truthfully.
"Why don't we keep the warehouse open for two days? Maybe little brother Qin Feng and Chu Jiu will come to Chongqing soon."
Uncle Ding has no better way. This is completely beyond everyone's ability. The only ones who can think of it are me and Chujiu.
"This is the only way. How about you escorts stay with me in the warehouse for a few nights? Except for the samples in the mall, all my goods are there."
Uncle Ding and the three of them all knew about Deng Deyou's situation. Having been friends for so many years, it was definitely difficult to refuse at this time, so they agreed to accompany Deng Deyou to guard the warehouse at night during this period.
Deng Deyou asked someone to prepare two folding spring beds, put them in the car and took them to the warehouse.
On the way to the warehouse, the four of them discussed that no matter what happened at night, they should just pretend they didn't know and just stay in the office.
In the middle of the night on the first day, the four of them went to bed very late in fear. Just moments after falling asleep, a sound that made people's scalp numb came from deep in the warehouse.
The four of them tacitly pretended not to know anything and slept with their heads covered with quilts.
It was still the same the next night.
On the third day, the four of them came home after two nights, and everyone was fine.
Guessing that thing might not hurt them, the fear in my heart lessened.
When the sound came at night, Gu Yongnian actually wanted to go out and have a look. After living for half his life, he had never seen what a ghost looked like.
Gu Yongnian said this more because he wanted to embolden everyone. He knew clearly that no one had slept well these two nights.
The night before, he poked his head out of the quilt and saw that the other three people had their heads wrapped in quilts and were trembling all over.
Deng Deyou and Uncle Ding disagreed on the introduction. If there was a conflict, no one would be able to accept it.
Jing Fei, a bachelor, agreed with Gu Yongnian's proposal. Thinking that his house in the countryside was haunted, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night. It turned out that a bat crashed into the door.
In fact, Jing Fei didn't believe in the existence of ghosts. When Gu Yongnian suggested that he wanted to go out and have a look, Jing Fei also had the idea of going to have a look, even if he died, he would die with some understanding.
Deng Deyou and Uncle Ding couldn't stand the tough talk from Jing Fei and Gu Yongnian, so they had no choice but to get up and walk out of the office together.
This time, Deng Deyou handed the electric baton to Jing Fei. He found three batons and gave one to each of Uncle Ding and Gu Yongnian, although everyone knew that it had no effect at all.
The four of them walked quietly towards the depths of the warehouse, and stopped when they were still more than ten meters away from the deepest wall.
Next to the four people was a set of mahogany tables and chairs. Jing Fei casually removed the plastic paper covering them and sat on them.
"It's still early, it's not yet twelve o'clock. Didn't there be strange noises only after twelve o'clock in the past two days?"
Uncle Ding and the other three thought about it, and they also packed up their chairs and sat next to Jing Fei.
After the four people sat down, they didn't know what to talk about. As the saying goes, don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night. The four shrewd businessmen still knew this truth.
"We just have a look at the situation. If anything is wrong, we run back. Four grown men are crowded into an office. They are full of energy and are not afraid."
Jing Fei said softly, and the other three nodded, so they could only comfort themselves.
Time passed minute by minute, and none of the four people spoke. For the first time, it felt like dozens of minutes passed so slowly.
Perhaps Deng Deyou was once frightened by the scene outside the window, and seemed particularly nervous. He kept his head down and stared at the watch on his wrist.
"It's half a minute until twelve o'clock. Doesn't the book say that there are ghosts at twelve o'clock at night..."
Deng Deyou originally wanted to say that ghosts in horror novels always appear at twelve o'clock. As soon as he mentioned the word ghost, Uncle Ding and the others stopped him with their eyes.
It is in line with the saying "human potential is infinite".
Normally, one would not even notice the sound of the watch hands beating, but at this time, the "ticking" sound was so clear to the ears of the four of them.
The four of them felt that their vision had become clearer, especially the presbyopic Gu Yongnian.
At this moment, I could clearly see the hands of the watch on Deng Deyou's wrist beating.
"Tick tock", the three hands on the watch merge into one and make a crisp sound.
The four of them looked at the windows on the wall in unison.
A breeze blew by, and the branches began to sway slowly. Through the gaps in the branches outside the window, I saw that the sky outside became darker.
Suddenly, a white shadow passed by the window, and Deng Deyou, who was in a tense state of mind, screamed in fright.
Following Deng Deyou's cry, Uncle Ding and the others' bodies trembled, and their hearts beat violently.
"Meow~"
A cat meowed, and Jing Fei picked up the electric baton in his hand and angrily hit Deng Deyou on the back.
"Damn, have you ever heard of someone scaring someone to death?"
"I wasn't scared by the cat, but I was scared half to death by your grandson."
Gu Yongchang took a breath and touched his chest. Fortunately, he didn't have a heart disease, otherwise he would have been sent away by Deng Deyou today.
It took a long time for Deng Deyou's trembling legs to regain some strength. He smiled and apologized to everyone, saying that he didn't expect that he would have such a big reaction.
"I really can't figure out how you, a coward, got such a big business?"
