Chapter 134: Catching Ghosts (2)

At this time, the people in the tent should have heard the footsteps outside. A fat old man lifted the curtain and looked at us in surprise, then walked out directly, standing in front of the tent and looking at us, with a hint of majesty and contempt in his eyes. He looked like an official, and his official position was quite large. Even if he lived in a tent, he still had a lofty posture. Then seven or eight people walked out of the three tents, including men, women, and young. These people were all standing behind the fat old man and looking at us coldly.

"Mr. Wang, are you okay?" Qian Chuanzi immediately walked over with a smile on his face, "I'm so good! I'm so good. I don't even dare to go back home tonight, and all the servants in the family ran away!" Wang Chuanwai said gritting his teeth, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, I know everything about your family. Look, I have invited the ghost-catching person for you." "You know everything about our family? Who are you?" Wang Chuanwai looked at Qian Chuanzi in confusion.

"Mr. Wang, why don't you even recognize me? You forgot that I followed my master to catch ghosts last year, and then my master and senior brother died in your back garden," Qian Chuanzi said with a smile.

"Last year? Died in our back garden?" Wang Yuanwai looked thoughtful, but soon shook his head. "Our family has been haunted for two or three years. During this period, there have been more people who died in our back garden. I really can't remember which one is your master and senior brother."

"My senior brother is the one who was torn apart by a ghost." "Most of the people who came here to catch ghosts were torn apart by a ghost, as if there were not many complete ones." "My master is relatively complete, he was sucked into a mummy by a ghost." Faced with the doubts of Wang Yuanwai, Qian Chuanzi was not embarrassed at all. This fact made me admire him.

"There are more than a dozen people who have been sucked into mummies. Now there are several lying in the back garden. They have been dead for several months but no one dares to go in to collect the corpse. I don't know which one is your master," Wang Yuanwai said impatiently.

I stood aside and couldn't stand it anymore, so I said coldly, "We are here to help you catch ghosts. If you don't want to, forget it." Wang Yuanwai glanced at me blankly. Maybe he was shocked by my aura, his attitude slightly eased, and asked in confusion, "Can you really catch ghosts?" "Since you don't believe it, let's go, Qian Chuanzi, let's go." I shouted at Qian Chuanzi.

"Don't leave," Wang Yuanwai shouted loudly, then forced a smile on his face and said to me, "It's not that I don't believe you. In fact, there are too many people who have caught ghosts in the past few years. When I came, I said that I was able to do so. But in the end, not only did I not catch the ghost, but all the people who came to catch ghosts were dead, making my house almost a cemetery. Of course, I welcome you if you want to catch ghosts. The price is also easy to discuss, but let's first agree that I will only give money after catching ghosts. If I can't catch ghosts, I won't give a penny." "Okay, that's it." I stepped forward while preparing to enter the yard.

"Boss, wait." Qian Chuanzi on the side stopped me, "What's wrong?" I looked at him in confusion, "Boss, should we explain the price of ghost hunting with Wang Yuanwai clearly before we go in?" Qian Chuanzi winked at me while talking. I was about to say, "Didn't we say everything just now?", and then swallowed this sentence back.

Thinking about the conversation just now, someone just said, "The price is easy to discuss." I started rushing into the yard. As for how it is easy to discuss, I don't know. It seems that doing business really requires talent. I feel that I am a smart person, but I don't have any talent in this regard. Compared with Qian Chuanzi, it is a 100,000 miles away. If Qian Chuanzi were going to sell horses that day, I would definitely not only sell thirty taels of silver, sell a good horse for the price of a saddle, and the cost price. I'm afraid that only I can do such a weird thing.

"What's there to say? Go and catch the ghost first. Will I treat you badly?" The majestic voice of Wang Yuanwai sounded in my ears, "Wang Wang, I think it's better to explain it clearly, otherwise we will be unsure when catching ghosts." "I don't have time to talk to you, please tell me the price yourself." "One thousand taels of silver" Qian Chuanzi said casually.

As soon as the price was reported, I immediately saw the fat flesh on Wang Junwai's body trembled several times. In fact, it was not only him, but even when I heard the price, I was shocked and trembled all over. However, I had no fat flesh on my body, so others couldn't see it. For most people in this world, this was simply an astronomical number. Not to mention seeing it, I couldn't even think about it, and most of them naturally included me.

"One thousand taels!? Why don't you rob it?!" After a moment of dazed, Wang Yuanwai almost yelled, "Wang Yuanwai, that's not what he said, we are taking risks with our lives. Aren't our three lives worth one thousand taels of silver?" "Three lives?! You---?!" Wang Yuanwai immediately looked behind us, then looked at Qian Chuanzi and me with horror.

I knew Qian Chuanzi was saying that he had missed Luo Tieshan. I was thinking about how to rescue him, but Qian Chuanzi had already said first, "We were three brothers, but when we heard something happened at your house, we rushed over from thousands of miles away. However, one of the brothers died of illness on the road, but the money we got was his, so of course it was three lives."

I have to admire Qian Chuanzi's urgent wisdom. This explanation is reasonable. The hungry heart finally let go, and Wang Yuanwai's gaze also eased. Just as he was about to speak, a young woman standing behind him sneered and said first, "Hmph! What are three lives? People who have died in our family in the past few years may have more than thirty lives. Didn't we give a penny?"

I don't know what this woman has to do with Wang Yuanwai, but looking at her clothes and her jewelry, I can definitely be a person who is very close to Wang Yuanwai. I guess she is either a daughter or a concubine.

No matter what her identity is, it is really cruel to be able to regard human life so casually. If you have such a woman at home, I am afraid that this Wang Junwai is not a good thing, and it is really not worth catching ghosts for such people.

"Qian Chuanzi, let's go!" I shouted angrily, "Oh!" Qian Chuanzi agreed, and then said to Wang Yuanwai, "My brother has always been a bargaining price. The most annoying thing is that someone bargained. Since Wang Yuanwai thinks it is expensive, we won't disturb you." "Wait!" Wang Yuanwai shouted loudly, then turned around and looked at the woman who was talking fiercely, scaring the woman to lower her head immediately. Then Wang Yuanwai said to us, "Okay, one thousand taels are only one thousand taels. As long as you can really catch the ghost, one thousand taels is worth it."

This result really surprised me. I didn't expect that I could make a final decision in an impulse. But I just said I was going to leave and my feet were lifted up. For a moment, I really didn't know what to do.

Seeing that I was hesitant, Qian Chuanzi immediately turned around, pressed his hand tightly on his waist and quietly stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and shook it at me. Of course I understood what he meant, "One thousand taels". This number is really tempting, and it can even be said to be a little scary. The ancients said, "Don't bow for five dou of rice." But this is more than five dou of rice. If you use it to buy rice, you may be able to fill five trains. Of course, you can't bow if you want five dou of rice. But five train rice is another matter. Not only can you fold your waist, but your arms and legs can be folded.

"Boss, since Wang Yuanwai agreed, let's go and catch the ghost." Qian Chuanzi walked over and grabbed my arm while talking. Of course I would not resist, and he pulled him into the yard gate half-pushed.

Because I came here once before, Qian Chuanzi quickly led me to a large garden with memory. It is spring now, but there is no trace of spring in this garden. The grass is yellow, the flowers are withered, and all the trees are bare and there are not even leaves.

The bluestone road on the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, and the spring breeze made a rustling sound. The most terrifying thing was that there were many black and purple mummies and white bones scattered among the branches and leaves of this place. If I hadn't seen the red brick and green tiles of houses and high walls around me, I would have doubted whether I was standing in a cemetery in a wilderness.

I walked along the bluestone road in the garden for a while, jumping and jumping along the way, carefully avoiding the complete or incomplete corpses on the ground, and then climbed a few steps and we came to the pavilion in the middle of the garden.

The pavilion is very exquisitely built. Yellow glazed tiles, red columns and railings, marble floors and steps all show the luxury of the owner. On summer evenings, sitting in such a pavilion, a pot of good wine and a few exquisite side dishes, looking at the flowers blooming outside the pavilion, and behind them are a few delicate little maids. This day is like a god.

Unfortunately, when I was sitting in the pavilion, I saw only fallen leaves and corpses all over the ground, and the gusts of gloomy wind made me feel goose bumps. Now I understand a little why the scene I saw when I entered the city just now was so depressed. The old man was so scared that he even threw away the basin when he saw us. He was guarding such a haunted garden that had been haunted all year round. I am afraid that the residents of this city would be almost frightened and collapsed.

I looked up at the sky. The afterglow of the sunset had not yet dissipated and the sky was still slightly bright. Of course, there would be no evil ghosts coming out at this time. According to Qian Chuanzi's experience last time, the evil ghosts would not come out until late at night. It would take at least several hours to wait.
