As night fell, I continued to eat a bowl of instant noodles and was ready to go. Of course, I called Wu Jian first. Who knew that Wu Jian, who said that he would face with me during the day, said that he had a temporary task and couldn’t go. I despised it. He took a while, but still planned to bite the bullet and go to the ghost building alone. After all, he would live in the ghost building in the future, and he would have to face it sooner or later.
I took out a bag full of paper candles from the cabinet, and was about to set off, but saw a touch of white in the golden, red, and red paper candles. I glanced at it strangely, and it was a business card.
I took out the business card and saw that there was only one name on the pure white business card, Ge Xianshou and a phone number. On the back was a small sign like a seal. I carefully identified the words Tianshoutang. The old man in the tunic suit I saw at Tianshou Hall suddenly appeared in my mind. When did this old man put his business card in my bag? In my impression, there seems to be no scene of receiving the business card.
However, this matter is not important, I threw the business card into the trash can.
When I arrived at Kaoshan Street by car, it was already 11 o'clock. People could hardly be seen, and the shops were closed. Only the street lights were still bright. I stood at the door and took a deep breath. Every time I came here, it was either He Yueru, or It was Wu Jian who was with me, and I had never been there alone. I never expected that there would be such a difference in the fear caused by being with someone and being alone.
After hesitating at the door for a moment, I gritted my teeth and pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. I didn't dare to stay longer, and walked straight into the hall. The hall under the moonlight looked very hazy, only the flashlight on A ray of light, appearing as lonely as me. I walked to the brazier, I didn't dare to raise my head, and I was doing my own thing. To be honest, I don't know that the lights here are as bright as last night. Even if I know those are ghosts, I won't be so afraid.
The paper candles in Tianshoutang are different from the ones in the shroud shop. The lighter ignited immediately, which made me a little relieved. It would be troublesome if I could only use matches like last time.
The flame ignited high, and the light and heat it brought made me feel a little relieved, but just after I put the last bit of money paper into the brazier, the surrounding suddenly lit up, making me unconsciously use my hands Cover the eyes that cannot adapt.
Talking and laughing came from around me, and I felt a chill in my heart. I ignored the pain in my eyes and forcibly opened them. Suddenly, I was frightened by Sister Hua who suddenly appeared in front of me, and I took a few steps back. I bumped into something with a "bang". superior. I hurriedly looked back, only to see that I had bumped into a table, and the wine glass on the table had been knocked down, and the transparent liquid was slowly flowing down the table.
A pale man in blue paper clothes was looking at me unhappily, with only the whites of his eyes, I couldn't help but let out another yell, and fell limp to the ground.
It was a young and beautiful girl on the table, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Uncle Liu, Shun Shun Xin, this is our newcomer, he is not sensible, please bear with us."
Uncle Liu, who was wearing blue paper clothes, twitched his nose a few times, and said with a gloomy expression: "A living person?"
The beautiful girl said: "It doesn't matter whether he is alive or not, come on, don't disturb our interest." As she said, she raised the wine glass to fill it up, and fed it to Uncle Liu with her hands.
Then Uncle Liu ignored me who was shivering on the ground and started enjoying the fine wine.
This is, I just felt a pain in my ears. Looking back, I saw Sister Hua twisting my ears. Seeing me turning around, she said: "If I didn't see that you burned money or not, I would have eaten you and told me Come."
Saying that, he pulled my ear and left, I let out a cry of pain, and quickly turned my head to follow Sister Hua, only then did I see clearly that the hall of the ghost building was full of people of all kinds, no, it should be It's a ghost, everyone is drinking happily, but the strange thing is that no one makes a sound.
Sister Hua directly pulled me to an empty seat near the back door, then let me go, pointed to the stool next to me to sit down, conjured a grape from somewhere and put it in her mouth and said to me: "Today Let me teach you the rules, this is Fanlou, the door opens at 11 o'clock every day, you just need to come on time, and just pretend to serve tea and water, it's simple."
I nodded, instead of foolishly asking if it was 11 o'clock in the evening, I carefully asked my doubts: "Well, sister Hua, why did you ask me to do it?"
"You don't need to know about this now, work hard, do well, and I will entrust you with the work of purchasing in the future. That's a fat job." Sister Hua said.
I suddenly had a feeling that I was really in a brothel, and I was about to ask, but I was afraid of angering Sister Hua, after all, this is a ghost. After thinking about it, I asked the question I had been asking all along: "Sister Hua, do you know about the photos? There are three photos, one."
Before I finished speaking, Sister Hua interrupted: "I know, but it has nothing to do with me. You just need to know that I let you work here and be entrusted by someone to protect you."
Sister Hua's words surprised me. I always thought that the three photos were sent by the ghost building, but I didn't expect to be denied by Sister Hua. Sister doesn't seem to have any malice towards me, she probably wouldn't lie to me, but Sister Hua said she was entrusted to protect me, what does that mean? All of a sudden, I feel that the whole thing is more confusing.
Sister Hua sighed, "Do you know the classification of ghosts in this world?"
I raised my head to look at Sister Hua, I really don't know about this, and I guess if I just ask any living person, they probably won't know.
"When people die, they become ghosts. Those with heavy resentment are grudge ghosts, those with evil nature are evil ghosts, those with strong obsessions are persistent ghosts, and there are spirit ghosts like us, who are neither good nor evil, and just want to enjoy themselves in the world. , Of course, there is the last kind of ghost, alas, that is the most pitiful, them." Sister Hua didn't finish her last words, and her whole body became quiet.
I looked at Sister Hua like a curious baby and said, "Sister Hua, spirit ghosts don't harm people, right?" I really hope that Sister Hua will give me an affirmative answer, at least I will feel more at ease.
Sister Hua covered her mouth and giggled, and said after a while, "All ghosts are harmful."
Sister Hua's words sent chills down my back, but I forced myself to smile, but I guess the smile was very forced and ugly.
At this moment, a voice calling for Sister Hua came from outside, Sister Hua responded and said to me: "I'm going out, let Yan'er tell you the rules later."
Yan'er, I suddenly thought of that female ghost who kept insects in her hair, and my expression changed involuntarily. At this time, a crisp voice said: "Sister Yan'er is accompanying the guests, let me tell brother."
I turned my head to look, and saw the petite figure of Little Bell appearing in front of the door. Sister Hua seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, Little Bell, you will teach him how to behave."
Little Bell nodded very seriously, and Sister Hua turned to me and said, "Study hard." Said and drifted away.
Little Bell sat down across from me, and looked at me with an aggrieved face: "Brother, you said you helped me find it."
