Gu Ye led Gu Yang to a pedestrian street that was not very busy. At the inner end, there was a shop selling wreaths and funeral clothes. The back door of this shop was diagonally opposite the back door of the hospital, and the business was quite good. When Gu Ye arrived at the door and saw the familiar shop, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
"Brother, this kind of store is unlucky. What do you want to buy? Why do you have to come here?" Gu Yang held the seat of the taxi and didn't want to get out.
Gu Ye pulled him down and said, "Wait for a moment, I'll take you to eat something delicious later."
"Oh." Gu Yang waited obediently at the door.
Gu Ye walked in and shouted, "Boss, can you give me 1,800 yuan a box of cinnabar?"
The shopkeeper was an old man. When he heard Gu Ye asking for the best product in his store, he lazily lifted his thick eyelids and looked at Gu Ye. A bit of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He stood up slowly and walked to the counter at the back. He said in a hoarse voice, "There was a young man who liked to buy this cinnabar before, but unfortunately..."
Gu Ye smiled and said, "We will meet again if we are destined to."
The old man shook his head and did not continue the topic. He handed the cinnabar to him and said, "Young man, you have a clear mind and you know the value of it. Which school is it from?"
"I don't know, Master didn't tell me." Gu Ye pointed at a few things with a smile, "Please give me one of each of these."
"You have good taste, and you only get good things." The old man couldn't help but smile, and packed the things, which amounted to exactly three thousand.
Gu Ye paid the money, put the things into his schoolbag, and carried it on Gu Yang's back when he went out. This kid has been eating a lot recently and has grown very fast.
"Brother, what did you buy?" Gu Yang always felt that the things he bought from this kind of store were not good.
Gu Ye said seriously: "It's something that the little ghost likes."
Gu Yang immediately felt a chill down his spine. Wouldn't it attract ghosts if he carried that kind of thing around? !
"I'm just kidding, it's for shocking ghosts!" Gu Ye took Gu Yang to find two shared bicycles and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious. After you're full, you can do things in the afternoon."
Gu Ye took Gu Yang to the other side of the hospital, where there were several small restaurants. "The beef noodles here are especially delicious."
Gu Yang looked up and saw the big sign with the Chinese characters "Beef King" written on it. The cow had two horns on its head and a big bowl was drawn on the far right. It looked quite affordable and had a civilian feel. Gu Yang didn't even know when his third brother, who usually never left the house, had ever come here to eat.
It was lunchtime and there were many people inside. The two brothers finally found a seat at the back. Gu Ye smiled and called out, "Boss! Two large bowls of beef noodles, with an extra portion of beef and an egg!"
"Okay!" The boss is chubby and looks very festive. He smiles whenever he speaks.
Soon, two bowls of beef noodles that were almost as big as small bowls were served on the table. Gu Yang picked up the chopsticks in surprise, "So much meat! How much is such a big bowl?"
"One bowl is only 25 yuan," Gu Ye handed a pair of chopsticks to Gu Yang, "Eat quickly."
Gu Yang exclaimed at how affordable it was while eating the noodles from the bowl. After taking a bite, he puffed his cheeks and gave a thumbs up to the boss and the boss lady, "It's delicious!"
Seeing that the two brothers were good-looking and polite, the proprietress smiled and gave them a small plate of cold dishes.
Gu Ye lowered his head with a smile and ate noodles in silence. The familiar taste stimulated his taste buds and Gu Ye couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
He was an orphan. He had been in an orphanage since he could remember. He was adopted by his master when he was six years old. From then on, he followed his master to get up early and go to bed late every day. After going to school, he had to learn Taoism after finishing school. He was so tired that he really didn't want to study anymore, but he was scolded by his master. One time, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he got angry and ran away from home. Unexpectedly, he got lost when he went out. When he was hungry, his master came and kicked him hard on the butt. Then he took him away. That was the only time his master beat him. Gu Ye was deeply impressed. Later, his master passed away. Whenever he missed him, he would come to eat a bowl of noodles.
Just when Gu Ye was feeling upset, there was a thud at the door, followed by a "ah!" and a woman's scream.
Gu Ye raised his head and saw the murderous aura flashing outside the window. His eyes darkened. Something happened!
An auntie at the door shouted in full force: "Boss! Your sign hit someone again!"
The boss and his wife ran out in a panic, and the entrance suddenly became lively.
"What's going on in your store? There have been several accidents! Is it evil?"
"Stop talking, let's go to the hospital! This big sister is bleeding!"
"Everyone, help, send this lady to the hospital first!"
…
The shop owner's face turned pale, he ran back to the shop to get the money, and then ran out in a panic. The boss's wife looked at the fallen sign dejectedly, quietly wiped away her tears, and these two months of work were in vain.
Gu Ye shook his head. There was a hospital behind this store. Generally, if the store faced a hospital, slaughterhouse, funeral home, prison, garbage dump, pornographic place, etc., it would cause the owner to lose money. Moreover, the shape of the awning outside the window was not right. Feng Shui often said that "anything that is visible has evil". The shape of the two sides was pointed, just facing the house. If the boss was not usually kind and generous, they would be the ones who got hurt. It was not like this before, and I don't know when it was changed.
Gu Ye was full, wiped his mouth, took out fifty yuan from his wallet to pay the bill. The proprietress forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Have you eaten well, young man? If it's delicious, come often."
Gu Ye nodded, took out the last gourd on his body, and handed it to the proprietress, "The shape of this rain curse needs to be changed to a flat one, the pointed one cannot be used. Hang this gourd on the window of your kitchen facing the hospital, don't seal it, and nothing will happen in the future."
The proprietress asked in confusion: "How do you know there is a window facing the hospital?"
That window is just for ventilation. They opened it themselves. It’s very small and cannot be seen from outside.
Gu Ye didn't want to explain, so he put the gourd on the other person's table and took Gu Yang away. He had to buy a few more gourds in the afternoon, otherwise he would be useless in pretending to be a ghost in the future.
——
In the afternoon, the two brothers bought all the things and took a taxi to an artificial stadium in the evening. As soon as they got off the car, they felt a human heat wave. There were people crowded on both sides of the entrance. A group of little girls were holding signs and yelling like crazy. The cold weather could not dampen their enthusiasm. Gu Ye and Gu Yang were instantly buried in the sea of people.
"Little brothers, you are also fans of Brother Rui, right? You came at the right time!" A very beautifully dressed girl enthusiastically handed the two brothers a big sign, "This is a little heavy, it's just right for you two to hold it. Come on, shout with us! The best Brother Li Rui in the world! Come on, come on, come on! Brother Rui, take care of yourself!"
Gu Ye had a cold expression on his face, wondering what Li Rui's fans would think when they found out what he had done in the past.
Gu Yang was embarrassed by being squeezed, "Brother, did you find the wrong person?"
Gu Ye's eyebrows turned cold, "Don't you believe your brother?"
"No, no, no, I believe it!" Gu Yang quickly shut his mouth.
At this time, a business car slowly stopped under the guidance of a security guard, and Gu Ye felt that the screams around him were about to deafen his ears.
A young man in a low-key gray down jacket got off the bus and waved to the fans tenderly, "It's so cold, be careful not to catch a cold. If you don't have a ticket, don't wait any longer, go home quickly."
Gu Ye saw the girl who was talking to them immediately covered her mouth and started crying, "Brother Rui is so warm, I am so touched!"
Gu Yang was straightforward and asked directly: "Your mother reminds you to wear long johns every day. Are you touched?"
The girl immediately rolled her eyes at Gu Yang and asked in a bad mood: "Are you really a fan of Rui Ge? You are not a fake fan, are you here to cause trouble?" As soon as these words fell, the people around them all glared at him and his brother with unfriendly faces, as if as long as Gu Yang said yes, they would pounce on him and bite him to death like zombies in a siege.
Gu Ye held the sign in one hand and pulled Gu Yang's ear with the other hand, "My brother is ignorant, don't be angry, I'll take care of him!"
After Gu Yang was pulled out, he suddenly felt like he had survived a catastrophe. "People's hearts are so scary. So many people have been deceived by Li Rui."
Gu Ye sneered sarcastically, his dark eyes seemed to see through the fickleness of the world, "You have to know that you can know a person's face but not his heart. Ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and the human heart is even more unpredictable. Ghosts are transformed from people, and death is caused by people."
Gu Yang squatted on the ground, looking up at Gu Ye's profile. He always felt that the familiar brother was so far away from him at this moment.
At this time, fans who got tickets had already entered the venue one after another. Gu Ye looked over there and said, "I don't want to wait until his concert is over before going in."
"Then, you let that young lady go in by herself?"
"There are too many people here, and the yang energy is too strong. She can't stand it."
Gu Yang was at a loss, "What should I do?"
Gu Ye pointed at the fence and said seriously, "Squat down, I'll step on you and send her in through this window. I'll buy you some candied haws later."
Gu Yang: “…”
I always feel that his brother asked him to come out today just to carry the bag and serve as a stepping stone.
Gu Yang squatted by the wall resigned to his fate, "Hurry up, it's getting dark, and my mother is screaming for help."
"Got it." Gu Ye agreed, and just as he was about to climb up by stepping on Gu Yang's back, he felt a strong ghost aura coming from not far away, pressing down on him eerily. The chill made Gu Ye gasp for air. He turned his head suddenly, looking over with caution, and saw a luxury business car coming from afar on the road. The car was surrounded by purple air, auspicious clouds covered the roof, and auspicious air was everywhere. This was an extremely rare aura that only an emperor could have. However, what was even more shocking was that there was a ghost general in armor sitting on the roof of the car. The ghost general was tall and burly, with a ghost mask on his face, holding a big knife taller than a man, and full of evil spirit.
The eerie ghostly aura and the purple dragon aura of the car owner were perfectly integrated together. Gu Ye widened his eyes in shock. This was a strange fate he had never seen before in his life!
Gu Yang also followed Gu Ye's gaze and said in shock, "Fuck! A rare Maybach! It costs more than 10 million. My dad liked this car. He said that its black body has smooth lines and is luxurious and steady. It not only shows the owner's wealth, but also shows his taste. It's a pity that it has been discontinued! My dad bought a Rolls-Royce and regrettably didn't have a good meal for several days."
Gu Ye was in no mood to listen to him, and his face was unusually serious. "Old Four, this kind of person is God's biological son, the son of destiny, and even ghosts and gods dare not provoke him. If you meet him in the future, don't offend him."
Gu Yang smiled bitterly, "Brother, can you get off my back and teach me a lesson?"
Gu Ye suppressed his smile and apologized: "I'm sorry!"
Gu Yang was helpless and just wanted to say, Brother, your apology is not sincere at all.
If someone from the business world passed by, they would definitely recognize the owner of this car. He is a famous financial genius in China, a young billionaire who made the Forbes rich list at the youngest age, and the heir of the Yu family, Yu Ze. This young man, who is only 26 years old, created a miracle when he returned to China three years ago. In just half a year, he pushed the shaky Yehong Technology Group back to the top. Now he has become the leader of the domestic electronics industry and has entered the world market.
Yu Ze wore a snow-white shirt, his hair was combed meticulously, and every detail, from cufflinks to collar pins, showed that he was a perfectionist, with an abstinent and cold feeling. Even the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye could not add a bit of popularity to him. In short, strangers should stay away from him.
Just as Gu Ye was exploring his fate, he looked out as if he had some sense, and happened to see Gu Ye climbing the wall by stepping on Gu Yang.
The secretary sitting next to him followed his gaze and said regretfully, "Another bad high school student. He looks good, but he's obsessed with idols and his parents don't care."
Yu Ze turned his face away and said indifferently, "I'm free."
The secretary smiled and said, "Boss Yu, that's very insightful. But Boss Yu, do we really have to take that road? I heard that there have been a lot of accidents on that road recently. Some people even say that it's haunted."
Yu Ze scoffed at this statement, "Where are ghosts in this world? Why haven't I seen one?"
