There was silence in the living room and no one spoke.
After a while, I stretched out my hand to close the chin that was about to fall on the ground, couldn't believe my ears, and asked stupidly: "What? Master, you just said that this is witchcraft? Me? Why did you accidentally fall into witchcraft?"
The old Taoist did not say a word, the expression on his face looked like a smile, and he pointed his finger at the hand of the little scarecrow.
With a one-hundred expression on my face, I swiped and let go of my hand, shrinking back, and putting it on the back of the sofa, looking at the old Taoist priest with a sad face: "Master, help! You can save me!"
"Witchcraft and Taoism are not in the same vein. Before I have a detailed understanding of the other party's tricks, even if I want to help you, I dare not take it casually!" The old Taoist smiled bitterly, spreading his face. He showed a helpless expression, paused, and then asked me: "The other party can send it directly to the convenience store, which shows that the other party has a certain understanding of you. Although the wizard is not the same way as the old way, but the practitioners, do not You'll find trouble for no reason. Didn't you think of any suspicious people in your heart?"
Blinking my eyes, I quickly went through the events of these days and shook my head: "No, apart from the phone call, I really can't think of any suspicious people or things that can be related to any wizard. Master, I really don’t know why they came to me!"
Seeing that the old Taoist meant to interrogate me, I hurriedly argued for a while, and finally convinced the old Taoist that I was innocent and belonged to the kind of "people sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven."
Frowning, the old Taoist asked me to close the lid of the carton, and sat next to me, carefully checking my condition. I also knew that the situation was serious and I didn't dare to move. He watched nervously at the old Taoist's movements. Did not dare to come out.
After the inspection, the old Taoist bowed his head and said nothing. An old face was gloomy and dripping with water. After a long time, he said, "I don't have a clue about this for the time being. I need time to find information on this."
"Then what do I do now? I, I, I, I just wait to die!" When I heard that the old Taoist priest had no choice, I suddenly panicked, and my tongue began to get a little knotted.
The old Taoist stared suddenly: "What is it? I am here with your master, how can I watch you die? The other party dared to send the puppet scarecrow directly to the door, which means that the other party is not in a hurry, and naturally it will not be killed so soon You, put your heart back to your stomach first."
After being reprimanded, I didn't care. I understood what the old Taoist meant, and the hanging heart was half down. Hehe smirked twice, and didn't dare to say anything.
"Forget it, I'll go back to my room to find information, you put this thing in your room, maybe you want to crack the other party's tricks in the future, this thing is still useful." The old Taoist gave me a blank look and stood up. , Ready to go back to the room, pointed at the paper box on the table.
I quickly nodded and agreed, picked up the paper box and left the living room, put the paper box into the room, and then slipped into the bathroom to wash up before returning to the room to rest.
With the words of the old Taoist priest, I relaxed a lot, fell asleep quickly, and opened my eyes on time in the sound of the alarm clock the next day.
Rubbing my eyes and getting up, I opened the door and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I waited to clean up and return to the room.
At the time, the door of the old Taoist room just opened, revealing a bloodshot eye. At first glance, he didn't rest well and stayed up too late.
"You are going to work in a convenience store, right?" The old Taoist was slightly startled when he saw me, then he took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his pocket and handed it over: "Hey, just right, this is my night After studying for a whole night, you made the safety charms with great difficulty. You can put them next to your body so that you can temporarily guarantee your safety."
I was surprised and delighted. I took the piece of talisman paper with both hands and looked down. The rune on it was very strange, but it also revealed a familiar familiarity. I felt a weird and reassuring feeling when I held it in my hand. .
"Thank you, Master! Master! You are so amazing. You have produced a rune paper that can counter the witchcraft so quickly. The disciple's admiration for you is like a surging river..." I watched excitedly and flattered the old Taoist priest.
"Stop! It's useless to be pulled." Rolling his eyes, the old Taoist waved his hand and interrupted me, looking at me seriously, and said: "You have to remember, this talisman comes with water You have to carry it with you, and you must never leave your body for a single step. It won’t work for a second, otherwise, the consequences, ha ha."
Seeing the old Taoist sneer, I couldn't help but shudder, and raised my hands to promise: "Master, don't worry, I will never take it down. It will be well hidden on me 24 hours a day."
The old Taoist snorted twice, then waved his hand again to make me get out, and then retracted into the room again, probably to make up for sleep.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and I felt that my whole body was relieved a lot, and Le Dian went to the convenience store to open the door.
In the following days, the days seemed to have returned to the peace of the past. The little scarecrow did not change anything. The old Taoist priests have been researching and have not found any useful information. However, I opened the door step by step to do business and closed on time in the evening. , And did not encounter any weird or suspicious things again, logically speaking, I should be very happy, but I was not happy in my heart, and even a little worried.
Days are going too smoothly, but I found that the business in the convenience store is going from bad to worse. Yesterday, a customer didn’t come to the house. If this continues, by the end of the month, I’m going to count the money. I’m afraid not only won’t make money, but I’m afraid I will lose money.
I'm not good at telling others about this matter. I can only worry about it in my heart, but when I came to open the store as usual, I accidentally discovered that a big hole had been opened in the back door window, and several boxes of goods were missing.
"Your uncle! Originally, the business in the shop was not good, but this particular shop actually got a thief and had to lose a lot of money. It's really a leak in the house, and if I find this thief, he will definitely let him know. What is meant by'breaking the ground on Tai Sui's head'? I don't double the compensation back, so I will give him his surname!" At that time, I was dumbfounded, and it took a while to react, and I kicked the wall angrily.
After following the old Taoist priest, my stamina increased, and the dust accumulated on my head suddenly fell down. I quickly took a few mouthfuls, stepped back, and accidentally touched the black circle in the corner of the wall. The ball, my eyes brightened: It was a monitor I spent a lot of money to install, and it didn't stop for twenty hours.
I hurried back to the front desk, played around for a while, and called up the monitor to check what happened last night.
Fast forward
Looking at it, the screen under surveillance has been steady and motionless. Obviously everything was normal in the shop at the beginning, until after one o'clock in the morning after the surveillance time, there was movement on the window of the back door. I stopped fast forward and watched closely. computer screen.
The barbed wire on the window of the back door was cut open by something, and the gap got bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a big hole. A guy in a hoodie sneaked in and looked around. Later, he started to carry the box out with his hands and feet quickly, looking like a habitual thief. Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to realize that there was a surveillance camera in this room and didn’t hide his face. I quickly showed him what he looked like. A very ordinary public face, of the kind that won't be recognized when thrown in a pile of people.
"Huh! With evidence, I don’t believe I can’t catch you." I immediately copied a video. Instead of going to the police station first, I asked a bunch of people to help find it. I wanted to find the guy first and get the thing back. , I beat him again and again, the strange thing is that I can't find the slightest trace of this person.
No way, I'd better go to the police station to report the crime, hoping to find people out.
With the video in hand, the policeman on duty did not ask me why it took so long to report the case. The case was filed and investigated quickly. No relevant information about this person was found in the database. The policeman in charge of the case took me out to collect more information. Many clues.
With the presence of the police, the nearby shops and merchants equipped with surveillance cameras were very cooperative and handed over the surveillance videos in their hands. Until they watched all the surveillance videos, something stranger happened. There was no such thing. The shadow of people appearing.
If it were not for the video in my hand as evidence, and the big hole in the rear window that had not been repaired as iron evidence, the police comrades would think that I was calling a fake police officer. After some tossing, the police would be a little helpless and let me. When they go home and wait for news, they will try to find the thief's so much.
My heart was cold for a while, and I walked slowly home, thinking about what happened during the day, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
On the way, the ghost in red suddenly appeared.
"You seem to be in a bad spirit." Anyway, there is no one around, and the lady ghost in red has a very casual attitude, revealing a trace of concern.
I snorted coldly: "When did you become hypocritical, why do I feel bad? You dare to say that you don't know the reason at all."
Shrugging, the red ghost did not answer, but changed the subject: "I have a way to make your convenience store business better."
"Heh." Rolling my eyes, I continued to walk forward feebly.
Maybe I didn’t expect that my reaction would be so plain. The ghost in red floated in front of me with a brush, and directly said the method: "You only need to go to the place I specify to buy a god statue and put it on the side of the store entrance. On that manhole cover, within a day, I will ensure that the business in your store will resume its former prosperity, even more popular than ever."
After a while, I feel a little moved. It seems that many business people have used this method. Would you like to try it
Suddenly a sting like ice prick came from the pocket of my underwear, and I shuddered in the cold. Only then did I remember that the red-clothed ghost is the unprofitable and early lord. Can you give me a way for free
I decisively refused.
