Chapter 1

It's said that people are mature, but in fact, some of them are old antiques, which may also be "mature".

For example, jade bracelets, Buddha statues, swords and so on.

If one day, you find that there are many strange things at home. Every midnight, there will be some noise in the living room and kitchen. Maybe it's an antique you collect that is making trouble!

In our industry, we call this kind of refined antiques: Yin things.

These Yin things are put in the hands of people who can't use them. They are often unlucky and even lose their lives.

However, if we make good use of it, we can change the official luck and promote marriage. Therefore, no matter the dignitaries or the famous families, we need Yin things.

There is a market when there is a demand, so the Yin merchants line came into being.

We Zhangjia three generations, are doing this.

It is said that grandpa once dug out the eyes of a river boy and sold them to Yuan Shikai, who became emperor from a warlord.

His father sold Wu Zixu's sword for suicide to a cross talk actor named Zhao, who soon became popular all over the country and went to the Spring Festival Gala.

In my generation, the market for Yin things is even larger. I've met with a variety of second and third-line celebrities, and I can't count any of them.

What I want to say next is about my story.

In 2000, I took the ancestral antique shop from my father.

This shop has a very small storefront and is located in the most humble corner of the antique street.

Because I just started with little experience, so the business in my hand has been tepid, even for some time I still can't eat.

The first contact with Yin was during the period when I couldn't eat enough.

Hot a pot of old wine, cut a jin of beef, sit in my shop, looking at the empty street, I have a little enjoyment of this feeling.

Our family not only does business in a special way, but also opens stores in a special way. The business is only opened after sunset. The rules have lasted for three generations. So our family is very respected in the antique street, because we never rob business with others.

At this time, Pockmarked Li came stealthily with a black package in his arms.

Li Mazi is a colleague, and the shop is at the end of the West Street.

"Oh, little brother Zhangjia, have some wine." When Pockmarked Li saw me, he suddenly relaxed and sat down beside me.

My father and I learned a good way to observe the words. From the simple movements of Pockmarked Li, we knew that he must be in great trouble.

Otherwise, I was nervous when I could not come in. I relaxed after seeing me.

I don't have other skills. I still have the ability to pretend to be a cool person.

I said lightly: "Pockmarked Li, what can I do for you? If you have something to tell me. "

All of a sudden, Pockmarked Li became nervous again. He secretly ran to the door and looked outside. After confirming that no one was there, he closed the door mysteriously.

Come to me and put the burden in front of me: "brother Zhangjia, I seem to have received a Yin thing."

Yin!

These two words stimulated my nerves. I looked at the black package seriously and reached out to open it.

But Pockmarked Li stopped me at once: "brother Zhang, this thing is very evil. You'd better not touch it. Something happened in my family, because I touched this thing... "

I'm also a little nervous. Pockmarked Li is famous and bold nearby. It's not normal to scare him like this.

"What's the matter with your family?" I said? Give me the original. "

Li Mazi sighed, and then told me the origin of the Yin.

It turns out that Pockmarked Li has been searching for treasures all over the country all year round. When he saw the countryside, he would stop to see if he could receive one or two valuable antiques.

No, when I came back from my hometown, I did some business by the way, including the shade in front of us: an embroidered shoe.

That shoe has a little history at a glance. It's the style of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because the shop hasn't opened yet, Pockmarked Li has put embroidered shoes at home for the time being.

And that's when strange things started.

That night, when Pockmarked Li and some of his friends finished drinking wine and went home, they found that the embroidered shoes were missing, turning up and down the living room to the sky, but they couldn't find them.

He thought that he was strong in wine. He forgot where to put his embroidered shoes, so he didn't take it seriously.

However, in the second half of the night, Pockmarked Li heard someone moving around in the living room, so he got up from the bed and went to the living room to check.

The living room didn't turn on the light, the cold moonlight came in, it seemed a little bleak.

In the moonlight, he saw a figure cleaning and washing in the living room.

When Pockmarked Li looked up, he found that he was his own son, with his eyes open and his eyelids unblinking. His expression was a bit frightening.

Pockmarked Li's wife died early, so she and her son lived together. Seeing that her son is so sensible, Pockmarked Li is very pleased and praises him.

But my son was as indifferent as he didn't hear. He was still washing the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. The nervous Pockmarked Li thought it was his son who was angry about drinking, so he didn't care much and went back to sleep.Unexpectedly, in the next few days, every time the bell rings at 12 o'clock, my son will wash dishes and dishes mechanically and clean the dishes.

The ground is clean and the bowl is clean, but he just sweeps it over and over again!

Pockmarked Li felt very strange. He thought that his son didn't have the problem of sleepwalking before. What's the matter these days? I've seen sleepwalkers, but I haven't seen sleepwalkers every day.

When Pockmarked Li got serious, he looked at his son carefully. He was shocked to find that his son even wore an embroidered shoe on his feet.

That is the embroidered shoes I received in the countryside a few days ago!

A boy, wearing embroidered shoes, walked around in the living room in the middle of the night doing strange things, watching linseed creepy.

He immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the embroidered shoes.

So the next day, he did not hesitate to leave the embroidered shoes far away.

Unexpectedly, it didn't end. In the evening, Pockmarked Li heard women singing in her son's room.

Immediately, Pockmarked Li rushed into the room. He was horrified to find that the lost embroidered shoes had come to the door again and were put on his son's feet.

His son also raised his orchid fingers and sang the Yueju Opera "Chenxiang fan".

That voice, just like a woman.

After his son saw Pockmarked Li, he raised his mouth and smiled at him strangely.

Pockmarked Li was so shocked that he woke up his son immediately. But when his son woke up, he couldn't remember anything, let alone where the embroidered shoes came from.

Frightened, Pockmarked Li simply threw the embroidered shoes into the well outside the house.

Unexpectedly, the next night, Pockmarked Li woke up with a strong sense of suffocation. When he opened his eyes, he found that his son was wet all over and was pinching his neck.

"Why drown me?" he said? Why drown me? "

It was so powerful that it didn't look like a child at all.

If it wasn't for Pockmarked Li to grab a bottle of wine and smash it on his son's head, he would be choked alive.

When Pockmarked Li woke up, he found that his son was covered with water and wore the same wet embroidered shoes on one foot.

He suddenly realized a terrible fact that his son climbed under the well and pulled out the embroidered shoes

But the well is deep, and there is no place to climb. How does the son get down? Thinking of this, Pockmarked Li shuddered.

This son is the lifeblood of his life. If his son has three advantages and two disadvantages, it's no fun for Pockmarked Li to live. Li Mazi knew that it must be embroidered shoes that were making trouble. He had sold antiques for many years. He also realized that this embroidered shoes may be the legendary "Yin thing", and immediately took off the embroidered shoes on his son's feet.

After taking it off, the son woke up. As before, all the memories were gone.

Pockmarked Li was afraid. After pacifying his son, he came to me with embroidered shoes.

Because everyone in the antique street knows that only our family can accept such ominous things.

Hearing this from Pockmarked Li, my heart began to burst out.

I used to see my father collect Yin things, but I haven't met this kind of situation! Most of them are harmful to the owner's family, such as losing things. They can be subdued by any small means.

As Li Mazi said, this kind of situation should belong to the "great murderous thing"?

I nodded big. I didn't expect to open for the first time. It was so tricky.

In our line of work, there are three ways of not accepting: those who hurt people's lives, those who transport people in disorder, and those who suck blood essence. This is the most basic principle, and also the means of our self-protection.

So before you take this Yin thing, you have to find out how fierce it is? Have you violated the rules of this line.

Pockmarked Li nodded on the spot.

I use quicklime on my hands. It's a way to avoid bad luck.

The black package opened, and an embroidered shoe with water showed up in front of my eyes.

It has to be said that the patterns on embroidered shoes are very delicate, with delicate needle eyes and bright red patterns. After such a long time of baptism, they have not faded at all. On the contrary, when wet by water, it looks more bright and red. In the dim light, it looks like a touch of blood.

I frowned, stared at Pockmarked Li and asked, "why one shoe, the other?"

"There is only one shoe," said Pockmarked Li

I take a breath of cool air and cover the shoes again coldly: "you take it away, someone is going to hurt you, I can't help you!"
