damn it

Chapter 62

As night fell, Qu Zhong still didn't come back, Dou Cheng hesitated again and again, and finally felt that there was no rush to close the shop.Street lights are on in the city, and you can see brilliant lights everywhere. There are also many shops in the night watch market in the surrounding area. Various food stalls, fruit stalls, and cheap goods stalls line up the sidewalks of two streets. It's more lively, so Dou Cheng's shop doesn't look abrupt and lonely when it's open.

It's just that it's not just people who go out at night.

Dou Cheng moved a stool and sat in front of the store, playing with his mobile phone to pass the time while waiting for people, occasionally looking up, he saw no less than four or five A Piao wandering among the crowd with their feet not touching the ground.

"Look, there is a Champs shop here!"

"Hey, this store hasn't been open for a day or two, so why make such a fuss?"

"It's been open for a few days, but it's the first time it's opened at night. Every time I come here, it's closed."

"Smell, the incense candles here are so fragrant!"

"Anyway, he can't see us, so why don't he sneak in and inhale two sticks to satisfy his hunger. To be honest, my grave has been flooded with weeds since the heirs withered. It's been a long time since no one has burnt incense. Money, I didn’t feel it when I first became a ghost, but now I smell it and I’m so hungry, hey, a full man doesn’t know how hungry a man is hungry, and if he has never been a wild ghost, he will never understand the suffering of poverty!”

"That's all right, all right, didn't you just want to steal two joss sticks, and you made a lot of useless reasons, I said you were a hypocrite when you were alive, and it's fine, why can't you change this problem after four or eight hundred years?"

"Wait, that person has something on him..."

"It's fine if we don't touch him, anyway, he can't see, so stop talking and go."

Several ghosts made a group, muttering for a long time, pushing and shoving, they floated into the shop door, and immediately a gust of cold wind blew up at the door, swirling and smashing the insteps of Dou Cheng and dissipated.

Dou Cheng, who was thought to be blind, said, "..."

Dou Cheng watched helplessly as these ghosts rummaged through boxes and cabinets in his shop to steal joss sticks and gnawed them with great excitement. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue pretending not to know or what to do, one of the most troublesome male ghosts suddenly turned his head and stared at Dou Cheng.

The male ghost was middle-aged, with long hair and shawls, and wearing an ancient mortuary clothing. It seemed that he had been a ghost for some time.

The old ghost was indeed stronger than the new ghost. Just at that glance, Dou Cheng's scalp went numb, goosebumps exploded all over his body, his whole body froze, and he immediately wanted to feel bad.He wears a ring to ward off evil spirits, if it's a ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of, but it's a f*cking bunch!

Dou Cheng was fully alert, subconsciously clenched his cell phone, and was running away thinking something was wrong, when he saw the ghost throwing away the incense candle and floating over with interest, he didn't approach Dou Cheng, and just floated around him.

Seeing Dou Cheng's eyeballs following him, the male ghost was amused: "Hey boy, you can actually see us?"

As soon as the male ghost said this, the other ghosts who had been robbing Zhenghuan stopped their movements one after another, turned around and floated towards Dou Cheng, all surrounded him like watching a monkey show, with inexplicable excitement on their faces.

"Oh, oh, look, his eyeballs are following us, really, really, he can really see us!"

"It's no wonder that you wear something that wards off evil spirits. It turns out that it's because of your yin and yang eyes!"

"Huh? Isn't that right, I don't think he has yin and yang eyes?"

"If you don't have yin and yang eyes, how can you see us if you don't have yin and yang eyes? Go and go, making noises all day long, no wonder you can't be reincarnated after being a ghost for so long!"

"Tch, tell me, you yourself are also an old ghost. Somehow, grass grows on someone's grave, so you can't find the grave, right? But it doesn't matter, maybe someone will find it sometime and dig it up as an ancient tomb. , exposing corpses to the wilderness, hehehe..."

"Quick fart, this kid really doesn't have yin and yang eyes, why don't you tell me, I was a Taoist priest when I was alive, and I have more experience than you guys in this regard!"

A group of ghosts started arguing in front of Dou Cheng.

At this time, a woman's voice among the ghosts said weakly: "...the shopkeeper can see us, so wouldn't we all be seen stealing joss sticks?"

For a moment, the scene was quiet, and the blushing and thick-necked ghosts suddenly looked at Dou Cheng in unison, as quiet as a chicken with a guilty conscience.

Dou Cheng: "..."

Dou Cheng's face is very calm, but his heart is stormy. What kind of weirdos are these?

But it also just shows that apart from stealing joss sticks, these ghosts are actually good ghosts with no malicious intentions, which made Dou Cheng secretly heave a sigh of relief.

"That..." Dou Cheng hesitated for a long time before saying: "I can give you incense candles to eat, but you can't throw them around, because after you eat them, they will definitely be useless, so it's not good for me to sell others, and I'm doing business." Well, there has to be integrity, right?"

"It's so good!" It was the male ghost who floated over at the beginning who spoke: "Are you really treating us to eat?"

Dou Cheng nodded.

"Hi!" The male ghost boldly stretched out his hand and patted Dou Cheng on the shoulder, but he withdrew his hand with a scalding hiss. While puffing, he praised Dou Cheng: "Brother is so loyal! Good buddy!"

"This boss has a really kind heart. If everyone was like this boss, we lonely ghosts wouldn't be so shabby." One of the old ghosts in a blue cloth gown was full of emotion.

"Come on, the boss invited us because the boss has good intentions, but not everyone should invite us, and they don't owe us." As soon as the old man's words fell, he was refuted by the aunt ghost wearing a really good flower shirt , turned around and smiled gratefully at Dou Cheng: "Young man, thank you, you have a good conscience, you will be rewarded, and good people will be rewarded."

As soon as the voice fell, someone yelled, and a group of ghosts turned around and floated towards the corner where the incense candles were piled up. They were like hungry wolves pouncing on their food, and immediately threw Dou Cheng to the back of their heads.

Dou Cheng... Dou Cheng looked at the chaos in front of him, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.Originally, I thought that little ghost named Bai Luoyu was already an exception, but I didn't expect that there are quite a few ghosts like Bai Luoyu. I think it is true, people are good and evil, loyal and traitorous, and ghosts are also good and bad.

Dou Cheng smiled, sat down and continued to play with his mobile phone with his head down.It's just that as time passed, the mood that had just calmed down because of the gag of those ghosts, became impetuous again.

Seeing that the time was getting later and later, but Qu Zhong still didn't come back, Dou Chengcheng couldn't sit still.

"Hey, young man, are you in a hurry?" Dou Chengzheng was fidgeting while sitting down and getting up for a while. The old man ghost floated to his side and asked with concern.

Dou Cheng nodded, he was completely out of the mood to play with his mobile phone, put it in his pocket and stood up again, looking out the door eagerly: "I'm waiting for someone."

"Don't you guys have mobile phones to call each other now? Just call and ask if you can?" The old man thought that Dou Cheng's worries were messy, so he kindly reminded him.

However, speaking of Dou Chengcheng’s depression, it’s not that he didn’t mention asking Qu Zhong to buy a mobile phone himself, but the other party didn’t like it at all, and thought it was unnecessary, so until now, that guy is still going his own way, playing disappearing when he says he wants to disappear , but no matter how unreliable it was in the past, there was no case of not returning at night, which made Dou Cheng have to worry.

"He doesn't have a cell phone." Dou Cheng shook his head, and was about to sigh, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the old man ghost: "Well, do you ghosts have special functions to connect with each other?"

The old man blinked, but he didn't understand what Dou Cheng meant.

"That friend of mine is actually not human, er, in essence, he is similar to you." Dou Cheng said.

"Oh, are you waiting for that to be a ghost?" The old man glared at Dou Cheng in surprise.

Dou Cheng nodded: "Almost, let me tell you this, the main thing is, I want to ask you, can you help me find him, of course, I won't let you work in vain, as long as you help me find him, I will The incense candles here, you can come whenever you want, how about it?"

The old man thought for a while, and felt that the deal was good, and asked, "What's the name of your ghost friend? Which mountain?"

"Uh, he..." The corners of Dou Cheng's mouth twitched: "His name is Qu Zhong, and he went out to the mass grave in the outskirts of the city, Qu's ancestral grave, I don't know if you know?"

Before the old man ghost could speak, a female ghost floated over: "I know, we will help you find it. If we help you find it, in the future, if we really want to eat all the incense candles in your store, can we come?" ?”

Dou Cheng remembered that his deal was obviously made with the old man...

Well, there are many ghosts with great power, so we all go to find them together, maybe we can really find Qu Zhong.

"Of course." Dou Cheng nodded: "But it's not an unlimited supply, as you all know, I'm open for business..."

"Understand, understand, don't worry, we are not greedy, as long as we can fill our stomachs." The female ghost said hurriedly.

All the ghosts that floated over at some point agreed: "Yes, yes!"

"That's fine." Dou Cheng smiled: "Then please everyone, but I don't know where Qu Zhong has gone. It may not be possible to find him at the ancestral grave. The scope of the search may have to be expanded."

"What's the matter? As long as he doesn't leave this city, we can dig three feet to find him for you. You can just wait at ease." The male ghost in ancient costume waved his sleeves and stopped when he was about to go out. , turned to Dou Cheng and said: "It's getting late, and when there are fewer people outside, the yin will increase. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for your Champs shop to be open. Why don't we take you home first and wait to take you back?" After that, shall we find someone for you?"

Dou Cheng thought for a while, Shan Ion was seriously injured by Qu Zhong, so he probably wouldn't come out to make trouble for a while, so he rejected the male ghost's kindness: "No need, no need, I have an evil spirit on me, don't be afraid, just help me Just go find him, I'll go back by myself after closing the door, you just find him and let him go home directly."

Seeing what he said, all the ghosts didn't insist, nodded, pushed and floated out, and whispered to each other at the door for a while, and soon dispersed, disappearing under the cover of the deep night in the blink of an eye.

Until he closed the shop and went home, Dou Cheng didn't realize that he could suddenly see the unusual grimace.
