Copper Coins Chapter 50: Cheng Qi Bureau (1)

When everyone heard the news, they saw that a motorcade gradually emerged from the morning fog and walked on the village road in front of the Wen Village Monument. Three carriages were in front, a donkey cart was in the back, and only the leading one sat the driver. The man driving the carriage was a tall man with three very conspicuous scars on his face. He looked a little fierce, not a kind person.

However, Jiang Shining and the others knew that this man was just unfriendly, but he was actually quite warmhearted... If he was still alive, he could really be called a good person.

They are not other people, they are the scar-faced men who had passed Xue Xian and the others at Guanyin Ferry.

"They are still there?" Jiang Shining murmured in surprise.

He himself is a serious wild ghost, and he knows how afraid the ghost is from the collision of strangers and yang. Therefore, there are not many wild ghosts who choose to wander around under the blue sky and daylight. Even Jiang Shining, who has a paper skin to be by his side and Xue Xianxuan to take care of them, only dares to be on a cloudy day or something. Walking around in the morning and evening, this long-dead troupe has no scruples.

Because they didn't know they were dead, they didn't even have the slightest vigilance or self-consciousness. I don't know how many streets and alleys they passed through along the way. If they were replaced by ordinary ghosts, they should have been rushed by the sun. It was torn apart and vanished, but they actually made it all the way here intact.

"You think they belong to your kind?" Xue Xian glanced at the nerd, "I only said they were... but never said they were your kind?"

Jiang Shining said blankly: "Isn't it?"

"I told you 'you're dead' eight hundred times, will you disappear?" Xue Xian said angrily.

Jiang Shining said numbly: "...you didn't say that there are 80 times, but there are 80 times."

"So, don't you jump around really happily?"

Jiang Shining was puzzled, "It's not a ghost, what could that be?"

"Yes." Xuan Min added next.

"What's the meaning of -- stubbornness?" Never heard of such a thing.

It's not a ghost, it's not a resentment, it's just because I made a promise before I was alive, and I can't forget it, so that my obsession is so deep that it overwhelms everything else when I'm about to die, and I don't even know that I'm dead, I just remember that I still have a promise It has not been fulfilled, and there are still appointments that have not been completed.

"It's like you owe a lot of debt, and you die before you pay it off." Xue Xian said lazily, "But you think in your heart how can you die, you can't die now, at least you have to wait until the end of the day. The debt is paid, or you have to wait until the debt is paid off, so you keep it in another form, understand?"

"What if the obsession ends?"

"Then it's time to hit the road." Xue Xian said.

It's just that whether it's a stubborn or a ghost, the situation they are in is very embarrassing. It can be said that there are tigers in front and pursuers.

"Both roads are blocked, what should I do with my eldest sister?" Jiang Shining was quite worried, "How do we get out of here?"

"Who said he was leaving?" Xue Xian glanced at him.

"Don't go?!" Uncle Chen and Sister Chen and the others stared at the villagers who were about to reach the Xu residence, shaking like a sieve.

Aren't you going to stay and serve as food for others? !

"Some invitations cannot be refused." Xue Xian shook his finger and said, "Those who are running around in the deserted village have their own restrictions. It is normal until you are out of the circle. Once you are out of the circle, then you can It’s hard to say. Think about it, what would happen if a warm person pulled you to his house for a sip of wine, and you shied away?”

It's a trivial matter, and maybe it's going to be a lot of pulling. It doesn't matter if it's among the living. Pushing and pulling, there will always be one who "lost the battle" first. But it is different from these dead people. What if the other party is in a hurry during the pull? Or did the other party accidentally get out of his circle between the push and pull?

Too many scruples...

But Xue Xian didn't plan to leave immediately, but it wasn't because he cared about these scruples. If he really didn't want to mess around here, I wouldn't be able to keep him. The reason why he doesn't mind staying here for a while is just because he thinks this place is weird, maybe he can find a keel or two?

Just as everyone waited for Yuan to say a few words, Scarface over there had already pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. He jumped out of the car, and when he saw Xue Xian and the others, he was stunned for a moment, then he folded his hands and walked over, frowning slightly, "Why are you here?"

Ordinary people, if they meet acquaintances on the road, will probably feel that they are quite connected, and they will chat and laugh a few times when they are surprised. Most of the time they are not in a bad mood. But the scarred-faced man did not act according to common sense. There was a hint of... reproach in his eyes when he looked at Xue Xian and his party.

There are no polite words, and even a little unwilling, which is completely different from the warmheartedness of the previous journey.

Not far away, a group of men and women, old and young, descended one after another from the three carriages.

One of the old ladies glanced at Xu's house, filled Xue Xian and the others: "It's freezing cold, why are you staying here, hurry back to the county town."

This old lady Xue Xian and the others are also familiar. When they were on the same road, the old lady gave the hand warmer that Shi Shizhang was holding. It is reasonable to say that she is also a warm-hearted and gentle person. Open your mouth to chase people?

It was the first time that Jiang Shining was driven away so implicitly, and stood there quite embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

"Hey—Renliang, they are all my guests today, come here, tie up the horse first, come to the door and drink some warm wine to warm up your voice." Xu Dashan opened his mouth cheerfully and relieved the siege , raised his hand to greet the troupe who got on and off the carriage, "All come, all come."

He said, he was about to reach out and pull Xue Xian.

"Oh, my waist is numb after sitting for a long time—" Xue Xian grabbed Xuan Min, who was closest to him, and stretched his waist with his shoulders, which happened to avoid Xu Dashan's hand.

His action seemed so unintentional that it was almost invisible. So Xu Dashan didn't care, he just changed his target and grabbed one nearby.

Jiang Shining: "..."

Unfortunately...it was the first time he had been pulled by the wrist like this by another ghost. Xu Dashan's hand was also piercingly cold. If he accidentally touched the wrist of a living person, it would freeze the bones of the human wrist, but for Jiang Shining, it was nothing.

"What do you call my little brother? I should have prepared some heaters. My hands are too cold, so I didn't startle you, right?" Xu Dashan said kindly.

Jiang Shining laughed dryly and said, "each other."

I can't tell who is colder than who.

He was dragged into the Xu residence by Xu Dashan with a helpless expression on his face. After entering the gate, he suddenly thought of a thought and said, "Mr. Xu may wish to greet other guests, and you can do it yourself." He said this, Out of the corner of his eye, he aimed at the east house, which was hiding the door.

"I've been neglected, I've been neglected." Xu Dashan said apologetically, "There are too many guests, if there is a place where the reception is not well, I hope the little brother will forgive me. Then Xu will go to greet the neighbors outside the door first, The little brother can move around at will."

When they said this, Xuan Min and the others had already entered from the door. When Xu Dashan saw Xue Xian, he paused and said, "Is this little brother... unwell?"

Xue Xian patted his legs and feet: "My legs are sick, so it's hard to move around."

Xu Dashan patted his forehead and said, "It's a coincidence, Xu has a two-wheeled car at home. The old mother in the family used to have leg problems and it was difficult to walk, so I ordered someone to make one for her. It's been in the corner all the time, so I leave it alone, let me walk for you little brother, it's hard to carry it like this."

Xue Xian politely said: "No fee, no fee."

Mysterious compassion that really took the effort: "..."

This Xu Dashan is a reliable person, not just polite. He really pushed the two-wheeler into the front hall from a side room at the back. Only then did Xue Xian realize that the Xu residence didn't even have a threshold before and after it. Eight or nine times out of ten, it was not set up for the convenience of his old mother who was on a two-wheeler when it was built.

On this point alone, Xue Xian felt that the title of Xu Dashan was not a false name, but that this person was truly kind.

Although the two-wheeled vehicle is called a "car", it is actually a back chair with wooden wheels on both sides, and two wooden handles behind the chair, which are convenient for the servant girl at home to push. Xu Dashan sent people to wipe the two-wheeled vehicle clean, and also carefully asked people to find a cushion to put on the seat.

Xue Xian thanked him and said, "No more trouble, I'm not that particular about it."

"It can't be called trouble. I always have a cushion like this at home. This chair is too hard, and it's hard to sit for a long time. Besides, the weather is cold and humid, and it's not good to catch a cold." Xu Dashan still wanted to persuade, Xue Xian But he had already sat on the chair rudely, and was calling Xuanmin to push him.

"It's okay, okay, the little brother is really an interesting person." Xu Dashan smiled and compromised.

He bowed his hands to a few people in the house and went out to greet his neighbors.

Xue Xianxuan turned away when he saw his figure, and unceremoniously pushed open the east room door.

The beggars in the house huddled together around the casserole that was about to dry out. When they heard the laughter outside, they almost thought there was some kind of bonfire meeting outside, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. So when Xue Xian suddenly pushed the door open and came in, the group of beggars almost urinated in fright.

Among them, the two least daring ones made two "dong dong" sounds and immediately threw them away.

"Yo, this ceremony is a bit big." Xue Xian didn't have the slightest sense of the culprit, and even opened his mouth and laughed.

Approximately felt that this evil barrier could make everyone in the room fainted by being willful. Xuanmin pushed Xue Xian behind the door, and then he simply pushed the evil barrier and the car to the corner of the wall, and then drew a picture for him. Circle, raised his hand and took out a paper talisman, and tapped it on Xue Xian's forehead.

Xue Xian: "..." No, is this dealing with zombies or something?

"Why are you bald donkey so stubborn?! I just touched your head, and I didn't make fun of you. What?" Xue Xian faced the wall because he was slapped with a paper talisman. Because of this, I can't be a demon for the time being. He rolled his eyes and wanted to say something else, but he felt a cold in his hand.

He looked down and saw Xuanmin stuffed the copper coin into his hand, and said indifferently, "This is the most spiritual place in this deserted village, so hurry up and nourish your bones."

After speaking, Xuan Min patted the back of his head, turned around and walked away.

"..." Xue Xian looked at the copper coins in his hand, stunned for a moment, and said, "Where are you going?"

He wanted to turn his head to see what Xuan Min was going to do, but he was stuck on his forehead with a paper talisman, so he couldn't even turn his neck.

The behavior of these two uncles made the beggars in the room bewildered. Even Jiang Shijing and Fang Cheng looked like two monks were confused. Just when they were stunned, Uncle Chen and Sister Chen and the others entered the house like thieves, Xingzi followed closely, and when they saw Jiang Shijing, they rushed over, "Young Madam!"

"Young master and young lady, you scared my old Chen to death!" Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were almost unscathed except for their embarrassment. He glared at the group of beggars, and hurriedly came to the side of Fang Cheng and his wife, saying, "Yu'e and Xingzi have cried a few times on the way."

Jiang Shijing reassured them with a gentle voice, and Xingzi untied the two as soon as he rushed over. The beggars didn't really want to hurt them, but at this time they were frightened into a row of dumb geese again. Naturally, no one stopped them. Let them send hemp ropes to move their muscles and bones.

Xiaozi threw away the twine and said, "It's fine, it's fine! It's not just me and Sister Chen, even Young Master Jiang's eyes were red just now, and he was obviously in a hurry."

"Jiang...Little Master?" Jiang Shijing froze and grabbed Xingzi like a ghost, "Who are you talking about? Young Master Jiang? Which Young Master Jiang?"

Before Xingzi could answer, a gentle and nasal voice rang out: "Sister, it's me..."
