C40 Deal of the Dead

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be speechless. "This is too abnormal. The world of the dead is truly unimaginable. "

Xia Xin rolled her eyes and said, "The world of the living isn't that great, right? Human trafficking, isn't it happening every day? "

Xia Xin stretched her waist and said, "Who said I want to be a living person? What's so good about being alive? "I'm just envious of the feeling of my heart beating, the taste of the food, the joy, anger and sadness …"

I chuckled and said, "This is your typical way of saying that you don't want to and that your body is very honest."

Xia Xin said, "Think what you want. What about the problems that were laid out in front of him? If you cannot get the fan, there is no way to save your foster-grandpa. I can't save your foster-grandpa … I don't care. Why don't you give up? I can help you find the Master Xue. "

I waved my hand. "Impossible. It's fine if I don't know that my foster-grandpa is suffering. Since he knew, there was no reason for him not to save him. "Else, even if I am to continue to live on, it would be better for me to die."

Xia Xin said with interest, "Not bad, you're very loyal. A living person like you is the easiest to become a dead person. "

Xia Xin paced back and forth beside me, muttering, "If you must save your foster-grandpa, then you can only take the fan. Otherwise, that thing in the Golden Toad Temple will definitely kill us. But how to get a fan? "The best plan is a deal. The best plan is to steal, while the worst is to steal."

I curiously asked, "How?"

Xia Xin snappily said, "Just like you said, digging open the grave, splitting open the coffin, and forcibly taking away the fan."

"I thought it was stealing."

Xia Xin said, "Stealing in front of everyone, isn't that just stealing?" Then she waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me. Let me think about it."

Xia Xin continued to circle around while the children all went home to eat.

The street became very quiet, with only the sound of Xia Xin's footsteps coming and going. All of a sudden, I noticed the light coming on in the supply shop, and I shivered.

The person inside was already dead. Why was the light coming on again?

Then, with a squeak, the door of the supply shop opened. Through the dark doorway, I saw a dim oil lamp burning on the counter. The oil lamp could only illuminate a very small area. In the shadow of the lamp, I saw an old man vaguely checking the shelves.

I said to Xia Xin, "The supply and marketing agency seems to be in trouble again."

Xia Xin raised her head and looked up. Then, she absent-mindedly asked, "Is it that strange?"

I said, "Strange, how dare the neighbors stay in such a place when things are so troublesome? "His heart is too big."

Xia Xin said, "Do you think everyone can see it? The ones who could see the supply shop opening were either the frail elderly and children, or the people whose lifespan was coming to an end. Or maybe it's someone like you, who's been through a lot and is covered in bad luck. "

I said to Xia Xin, "Then I place my hopes on you. I hope you can transfer them to me."

Xia Xin said, "I'm a living corpse, it's even more unlucky."

I said, "That's right."

Xia Xin tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Actually, it might be possible to trade. The key is that it depends on how brave you are. "

I said, "What does that have to do with my size?"

Xia Xin said, "Because it's your turn to trade."

I was startled. "Isn't it too dangerous? I went there once during the day. Didn't Grandpa Gu disagree? "

Xia Xin said, "If he doesn't agree to trade with me, maybe he'll agree to do it with you?"

I said worriedly, "I think he might be more interested in collecting a man's body."

Xia Xin said, "I think you can try. If you succeed, your foster-grandpa will be able to escape. If it fails... "That's fine, I'll teach you a way. Grandpa Gu might not touch you."

I saw that Xia Xin was sincere and was also interested. I still believe in Xia Xin, at least she looks a little more reliable than the Mr. Zhao.

So I said, "Since you want me to trade, can you tell me what your price is? If Grandpa Gu asks and I can't answer, how awkward would it be? It's fine if it's awkward, but if I anger him, then I'll have to go onto his shelf. "

I want to know the price. On one hand, it is for the transaction. On the other hand, it is because of curiosity.

Xia Xin was a little hesitant as she obviously didn't want to tell me the price. However, in the end, she nodded and said, "Since you're going to trade, you should bring the price."

Then she took out a pen and a slip of paper. A few words were written on it. Then he folded the note carefully and handed it to me.

I wanted to open it and look at it, but I didn't quite respect him, so I held back.

Xia Xin suddenly asked, "Hu Chujiu, are you a gentleman?"

I want to nod.

However, Xia Xin answered herself, "No, otherwise, you wouldn't have hooked up with that woman in the rental house."

I knew that she was talking about Wang Qi, so I hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood me, I …"

Xia Xin didn't wait for me to explain and said, "Hu Chujiu, are you a man?"

I said, "Of course I..."

Xia Xin shook her head, "Nope, he's really a man. He won't abandon us."

I was close to tears. "I didn't..."

Xia Xin asked me again: "Hu Chujiu, are you shameless?"

I said, "What the hell are you doing? It can't be just to scold me, right? "

Xia Xin said, "If you have any sense of shame, keep your promise. "Don't open the note to see my price before Grandpa Gu agrees to the deal."

[What else can I do?] He could only say, "Not only am I shameless, I'm also a man and a gentleman. I certainly won't. Furthermore, I have to state that the nineties that Wang Qi recited were not me, but someone with the same name. "

Xia Xin said, "Who knows if what you say is true or not."

I helplessly put the slip of paper on my body and said, "I am well aware of how powerful you are. I won't argue about this, and the truth will come to light sooner or later. Now tell me, how do I make the deal? "

Xia Xin nodded and explained her plan seriously. Afterwards, the two of us went to a nearby store to buy some things.

When everything was ready, Xia Xin said to me, "Do as I say and you'll be fine. If Grandpa Gu is really not reasonable, then run out without a care. I'll be waiting for you outside. "

In front of a woman, I couldn't be a coward. I held my head high and said, "What's the big deal? Wait for me. "

I went to the supply office, and with every step I backed down. If it weren't for Xia Xin watching me from behind, I would have turned around and left.

The pride of a man helped me to cross the threshold and enter the supply shop.

I had been to this place once during the day, and it had seemed very dark and old, and there was a sense of age everywhere. This kind of feeling reminded people of an old man.

However, when he came back at night, that feeling of time had turned into a feeling of death. One of the lamps on the counter was dark and swayed by the wind at the door as if it could be extinguished at any moment. I looked at it as if it were a little kid floating back and forth.

I looked around by the light, but didn't see Grandpa Gu.

I cleared my throat a little fearfully and asked, "Grandpa Gu, are you there?" Due to his nervousness, his voice trembled slightly.

"You want to buy something?" An old voice suddenly came from behind me.

I was startled and turned my head around to find Grandpa Gu walking out of the door.

Grandpa Gu looked me up and down a few times, as if he wanted to see through me from the inside out. Finally, a strange smile appeared on his lips and he stood behind the counter.

"What do you want to buy?" Grandpa Gu asked me.

I said, "Do you have cloth shoes here?"

Grandpa Gu said, "Yes."

He casually took out a pair of Ghost Shoes from under the counter. "Do you want a man's shoes?"

Then he took out another pair.

I gently coughed and said, "Grandpa Gu, your shoes smell a little bit good. Do you want to smoke it? "

Grandpa Gu frowned and said unhappily, "Kid, what do you mean?"

In the lamplight, his appearance was very frightening. I was scared, but I knew I couldn't be scared by him.

So I undressed, took off my coat, and showed off my birthday suit and shoes. I said, "I also have this kind of shoe. What I want to buy is not this kind of shoe."

This is what Xia Xin and I discussed. If one wore a shroud, it would be able to conceal the aura of a living person. This kind of method was very low level, it couldn't fool the things in Golden Toad Temple, but it was enough to fool a little kid like Grandpa Gu.

Grandpa Gu didn't agree to the trade last time, probably because Xia Xin was a living corpse and not a dead person. Grandpa Gu was dead, so maybe he was only willing to trade with the dead.

When Grandpa Gu saw my birthday suit, his expression immediately relaxed. He took out a small incense burner and said, "Are you afraid of smell? "Then let's smoke it for a bit."

Delighted, I quickly took out the match on my body and lit the incense on the left.

I was so nervous that I pulled the matchbox too hard and the matchstick fell to the ground with a crack.

I frantically squatted down to pick it up, but at that moment, the phone in my pocket rang.

I wanted to slap myself twice: I was so unprofessional. Why didn't you turn the switch?

I wanted to pretend I was innocent, so I turned to look out of the supply room. "What's that sound?" I said.

With a click, the phone fell from my pocket. The screen was still lit up, with the caller ID showing Mr. Zhao.

It's over. Would there be a phone?

I raised my head to look at Grandpa Gu. His face was livid, and his expression had long changed.
