The first thousand two hundred and forty-six chapters a pair of little devils
"It's almost time, we can go in."
Qin Yu and the other three walked into the village entrance, with Cheng Rongyang leading the way, Cao Xuan following closely, and Qin Yu walking at the end.
As soon as we walked into the village entrance, the gloomy atmosphere became a little stronger, especially the yellow charms posted on both sides of the road and the lanterns hanging high on both sides, which gave people a sense of depression.
In the entire village, every household was closed, and there was no sound in the entire village, let alone the barking of domestic dogs caused by strangers entering the village.
However, after walking for more than 500 meters, the tranquility was broken. A vegetable market-like existence appeared ahead. The stalls on both sides of the road were filled with things, and many people were picking at the stalls.
Pick.
The crowds are crowded and the flow is endless. However, these people all have a common characteristic, that is, they only pick things and do not talk.
Even these stalls are strange. They are full of things, but there is no stall owner. Behind each stall, there is only a stool, and on top of this stool is a briquette with a briquette inserted into the hole.
There were three incense sticks, and a piece of yellow paper was inserted between the three incense sticks.
There was only one word written on the yellow paper: "Xiao"!
Of course, not all the yellow papers behind the stalls were Xiao. Qin Yu also saw many other surnames. Seeing this scene, Qin Yu somewhat understood.
This ghost market is probably not organized by the Xiao family. It seems to be a partnership between the Xiao family and other forces. However, it is estimated that the Xiao family accounts for the majority, and it is even possible. The Xiao family seems to be the developer, and these stalls belong to him.
, but for some reason, some of the stalls were rented to other forces.
As for the people walking among the stalls, Qin Yu could tell at a glance that these were ghosts and not people.
Some of these ghosts picked up clothes or other things on the stall, and then walked forward silently. Cheng Rongyang glanced at Cao Xuan and Qin Yu, which meant to signal them
Keep up.
However, Cheng Rongyang walked into the ghost market, but Qin Yu stood there and did not go in. Instead, he looked at the ghost and frowned slightly.
Qin Yu suddenly remembered that although he had controlled the qi and blood all over his body, with his strong qi and blood, once he walked into this ghost market with many ghosts, he was afraid that the ghost market would immediately break into riots and destroy other people's lives.
Business, that would be bad.
"Director Cheng, I'll wait for you outside." Qin Yu spoke and said to Cheng Rongyang.
Cheng Rongyang had a look of horror on his face when he heard Qin Yu's words. Hadn't he already told Mr. Qin not to speak? Why did he still speak?
However, to Cheng Rongyang's surprise, he found that after Mr. Qin said this to him, the ghosts in the ghost market did not react at all and were still picking what they wanted in front of each stall.
something.
Cheng Rongyang turned around and saw Qin Yu smiling at him. The more this happened, the more confused Cheng Rongyang became. Wasn't it said that this ghost city couldn't talk? Why did Mr. Qin still say nothing but nothing happened?
, What made Cheng Rongyang even more confused was that when he turned around, he found Cao Xuan looking at him with doubtful eyes, as if he was asking again, why did he stop when he was walking well?
In fact, at this moment, Cao Xuan was cursing his mother in his heart. Walking among a group of ghosts was already scary. This old man walked well and stopped. What was he trying to do? Could he still want to fight with these ghosts?
Are all the ghosts getting close to you?
Cheng Rongyang naturally didn't know that Qin Yu used the technique of transmitting sounds into secrets to speak to him. Apart from him, no one else, including these ghosts, could hear him.
In the end, Cheng Rongyang turned around with this confusion and continued to walk forward. The ghost market was not long, only about three hundred meters in length. Cheng Rongyang led Cao Xuan to the innermost building.
At the teahouse, we finally stopped.
Xiao’s Teahouse!
Looking at the plaque on the teahouse and the several sturdy men standing at the door, Cheng Rongyang finally showed joy on his face and walked up quickly, but when he was at the door, he was stopped by someone.
"Who is it?" a big man guarding the door asked.
"I am Cheng Rongyang, the person in charge of the XX department here. I want to see your person in charge." Cheng Rongyang replied.
"Please wait."
The sturdy man glanced at Cheng Rongyang and Cao Xuan, then turned and entered the teahouse.
On the other side, Qin Yu looked at these ghosts with great interest. After observing for a while, he finally discovered the trading methods of this ghost market.
It seems that most of these ghosts are lonely ghosts, or ghosts who have not enjoyed the sacrifices of future generations. Generally, these ghosts take clothes from the stalls. After taking them, they will be found next to the stalls.
Throw some objects into a basin, such as some jade or copper coins.
As for where these jade articles and copper coins came from, Qin Yu had a rough idea. Either they were buried in coffins by his relatives after the ghosts died, or they were obtained from other places. After all, as a ghost, it was
He is the best grave robber.
"The Xiao family is really high-end. They exchange these paper clothes and some cheap items only used by ghosts for antiques of huge value. This business is really cost-effective."
But envy is envy. Qin Yu is not jealous of the Xiao family. Not to mention that he is not very passionate about money. The most important point is that the ghost market is not so easy to open. Ghosts are also human beings, and the longer they die, the more time they take to die.
The longer you go, the more aggressive you become.
Those who do business in the real world will often encounter some scoundrels, let alone this ghost market. If there is no absolute strength to deter these ghosts, Qin Yu believes that the Xiao family's ghost market would have closed down long ago.
Moreover, to form a ghost market of this scale and allow these ghosts to willingly exchange things is definitely not a short-term success. It requires several generations of the Xiao family to run it, and one can imagine the manpower and effort involved.
.
Finally, Qin Yu's eyes fell on one or two little ghosts among the ghosts. The two little ghosts were in ragged clothes, holding hands with each other, looking at the clothes on the stall, and they looked like a brother and sister.
The smaller girl secretly glanced at her brother, and then looked at the colorful paper clothes on the stall, with a look of envy on her face, while the slightly older girl kept paying attention to those young people.
Imps similar to them.
When he saw the little ghost picking up a piece of clothing on the stall, the little ghost immediately took his sister's hand and followed him. He followed the little ghost in front of him and walked to a huge brazier.
The kid holding the new clothes threw the new clothes into the fire basin. With a "boom", the fire shot into the sky. The old clothes on the kid were thrown to the ground, but he was wearing new ones.
clothing.
After changing into new clothes, the kid walked away happily. But at the same place, the kid holding his sister silently picked up the old clothes that the kid had fallen off on the ground and made gestures towards his sister.
The size is small, but there is a happy look on his face. This dress is just right.
However, this sister was obviously very dissatisfied with this dress. After comparing it with the clothes she was wearing, and then looking at this dress which was also not much better, the little girl pouted and almost cried.
Coming.
Seeing that his sister was dissatisfied with the clothes, the little brother's face was a little gloomy. He glanced at the clothes on the stall. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision and whispered in his sister's ear.
A few words.
I don’t know what the brother said to his sister, but the unhappy expression on the little girl’s face finally disappeared, and she walked alone at the exit of the ghost market with a smile, standing not far from Qin Yu.
With.
The kid, on the other hand, walked slowly to the stall selling clothes. His hands were picking at the clothes, but his eyes were looking around from time to time. Seeing this scene, Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Get up, because he can already have a premonition of what this kid wants to do.
call out.
The little ghost quickly selected a green children's skirt and paper clothes, yanked it off the stall, and then started running towards the exit of the ghost market, which was Qin Yu's direction.
This kid has no money to buy clothes, so he wants to steal them and run away.
However, just after the kid left the stall more than three meters away, a ray of light shot out from the stool behind the stall and hit the kid directly.
ah!
The kid screamed in pain and fell to the ground, but his hands were still holding the paper skirt tightly.
"Hmph, a little brat dares to steal things in my Xiao family ghost market. Life is really boring."
A disdainful voice sounded in the ghost market. All the ghosts who were still picking things stopped and looked at the little ghost who fell on the ground. Some looked at him with pity, while others looked at him with gloating.
This little devil.
At the same time, from the depths of the ghost market, three sturdy men walked out. The middle one, holding a wine jar in his hand, approached the little ghost step by step.
"Brother." Qin Yu heard the anxious voice of the little ghost girl not far away and was about to run towards her brother. However, the little ghost who fell on the ground shook his head towards her and signaled to his sister.
Don't come over.
However, it was obvious that the little female ghost did not understand her brother's intention and ran towards her brother quickly, trying hard to pull her brother up.
"It turns out there is more than one person. My Xiao family's ghost market is a fair trade, and children's wives are not bullied. If you dare to cause trouble in the ghost market, then don't blame me, the Xiao family, for being rude."
The three sturdy men were full of murderous intent. For so many years, the Xiao family ghost market has been able to operate. In addition to attracting these ghosts, there is also a very important point, which is that ghosts who dare to break the rules of the ghost market have always been punished.
