Chapter 235 Hundred Dollar Bill
In the night market, there are lanterns and colorful decorations, the neon lights change colors, there is an endless stream of customers on the snack street, vendors can be seen everywhere, and there is an overwhelming variety of items.
Over the street, red umbrellas were fluttering in the wind, and lanterns glowing green on the locust trees on the street aroused the children's interest.
I don’t know who put it there. It feels a bit weird, but it seems very strange here.
After this period of peace, Dajiang City has basically returned to the past, where work should be done, where one should eat, drink and have fun, and where one should support one's family.
This is also the reason why the night market is reopening. After all, it is a big profit.
It has been a while since the night market opened. Although the flow of people has not returned to its peak, it is still close to the peak. After a while, I believe it will be fully restored, as long as there are no major problems, such as before. .
The flow of people today is much higher than yesterday. I don’t know if it’s because they have been at home for too long or because of other reasons. Many people came to the night market today, even the vendors setting up stalls. There are a lot more.
Although the things sold at many stalls are a bit weird, it is not weird to be precise, but a bit retro, which is not common in normal times.
For example, some stalls sell just one thing, facial makeup, and the kind of facial makeup that looks extremely scary. Some sell origami people, and it says something like this.
But no matter how you look at it, this thing looks like a paper man or horse sold in a white shop.
These are considered normal. On a street in this night market, there are actually coffin shops and shroud shops, which is a bit outrageous.
This doesn't look normal, but something strange is here, so the customers who passed by or stopped in front of these vendors and shops didn't feel anything unusual, and didn't even express a word of surprise. This was very strange.
A section of the street in the night market is very quiet, with very few pedestrians. Only one or two people walked by, and they all seemed to be in a hurry.
There are also red umbrellas hanging in the air here. The dim light emitted by the lanterns is reflected on the red umbrellas, and an indescribable weirdness arises from within.
In the middle of the street, in front of a grocery store, a middle-aged man was lying on a rocking chair with a cup of tea beside him.
The rocking chair swayed slightly, and the tea cup was radiating heat. It was obvious that it had only been brewed for a short time.
Opposite the grocery store, there is an old tailor shop that looks a bit old. An old man walked out of the tailor shop, holding a rocking chair in his hand.
"Master Li, what time will the ghost market open tonight?"
The old man took the rocking chair and walked quickly to the middle-aged man, whom the old man called Master Li. Sit next to me.
Then he took out a jar of wine from the small black cloth bag he carried with him, reached out and placed it respectfully on the stool next to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man saw the wine that the old man placed next to him, nodded slightly, reached out to pick it up, opened the mud seal and smelled it, with a smile on his face.
“This ghost market starts at 10:10pm and ends at 3:30am. You decide what you want to sell or buy. I won’t participate, so you don’t have to worry about any accidents. I will watch. "Nothing wrong."
The middle-aged man raised the wine jar and took a sip of wine, and said slowly, his voice was very calm.
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the old man smiled and nodded:
"Well, I understand, the ghost market may be very lively this time. After all, there has not been such a large-scale ghost market for more than ten years. I believe that many people who are still alive are willing to join in the fun."
"After all, there are too many things accumulated in my hands..."
The grocery store owner took a sip of wine and looked at the sky reflected by neon lights. He didn't take the old man's words seriously.
"This ghost market, I will see the effect. If the effect is good, I will continue to open it in the future. If it does not meet my expectations, I will talk about it in a few years." The middle-aged man said calmly. said.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the old man’s expression was normal and he didn’t seem surprised, as if this was the right thing to do.
The old man took out a jar of wine from the small black cloth bag and drank it slowly.
The street is very quiet. His tailor shop and the middle-aged man's grocery store are currently open. The others will be opened later. Of course, some have already gone out to set up street stalls.
"Master Li, how long will it take for the hidden dangers of the past to break out?"
The street is very quiet, except for the occasional shouting from another street, there is nothing else. Sound.
The old man's sudden inquiry seemed to make the middle-aged man fall into a kind of memory. It seemed to be a long-lasting memory, which made the middle-aged man's eyes feel a little dazed.
When the old man saw this scene, he felt very complicated. He did not disturb the middle-aged man's memories, and just waited quietly. After an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man slowly came back to his senses.
Picked up the wine in his hand and took a big sip, and sighed helplessly:
"Time is running out, no more than half a year at most, or even less. You little guys, one by one Yes, you die, you hide, and you all fail to live up to your expectations, and most of the inheritance is broken, otherwise it would not be so fast."
"I am here. How many decades have you wiped people's butts? Take you for example. You are young and very energetic. Even the ghost in the ghost prison dares to peel off your skin. If it weren't for my help, you would still be alive today. You are against the will of heaven..."
"You old boys, none of you can live up to your expectations. The longer you live, the more you go back. Until now, none of the younger generations have the ability."
When he said this, something was wrong in the eyes of the middle-aged man. He looked at the old boy next to him, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked at him. If he hadn't seen that he was really young, he would have wanted to teach him a lesson.
Hearing these words of the middle-aged man, the old man touched his nose in embarrassment, and his face became a little confused.
To be honest, if someone pointed their nose at him and said something like this, he would have turned against him long ago. After all, he is already quite old, so it is really uncomfortable to be scolded like this.
But the middle-aged man in front of me is different. Mr. Li is old enough to be his great-grandfather, and he can't do it to Mr. Li...
"Uh... Master Li, please don't Angry, there is nothing we can do about it. You also know our situation. We were also suffering at that time.”
The old man explained bitterly, with a very helpless tone. As for the ghost prison mentioned by the middle-aged man, he never mentioned it. As long as he was thick-skinned, he could pretend that such a thing had not happened.
The middle-aged man glanced at the old man with disgust in his eyes. He took a sip of wine and said nothing. He was upset when he saw these old boys.
When they were young, all of them were as arrogant as others, but when they got old, they all fell into disgrace. Only Xiao Qin had a temper.
The wind at night was biting and made people's cheeks hurt, but it was nothing to these two people. The middle-aged man leaned on the recliner and looked at the stars in the sky, silent.
The same is true for the old man. The sky is like a swirl of stars at night, which has a unique flavor on this winter night.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he turned his head slightly to look in the direction of another street:
"Marriage puzzle? Which little guy got this?" Why are you so anxious to sell it?”
The middle-aged man was hesitant at the moment, thinking about whether to go and take back the wedding puzzle, but at this moment, the corner of the middle-aged man’s mouth curled up, Show a smile.
Withdrawing his gaze and continuing to admire the stars in the night, he had given up on the idea of taking back the puzzle.
"Boy Zhang, I've been working on it for a long time because you want this thing. Since you want it, I'll give it to you. I want to see what kind of array you can come up with. There are so many things. I hope you won't disappoint me." Okay.”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile in his eyes, and his mood became a little better. Even the wine in his hand felt much better. This junior made him very satisfied. He is strong enough and his character is not bad either.
Let's see who can survive...
The old man didn't notice the middle-aged man's expression. After all, the middle-aged man was much stronger than him. If he didn't want him to notice, , he couldn't detect the slightest bit, this was the absolute suppressive power between the fierce ghosts.
The old man looked at the sky, his dim eyes full of sorrow, and said that Du Kang was the only one who could relieve his sorrow, but no matter how good Du Kang was, he could not relieve the sorrow in his heart.
But it was said that in an old tattoo parlor, the lights were not turned on and it was pitch dark inside.
A middle-aged man was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating. There was no sound of breathing from his nostrils and no rise and fall in his chest. At first glance, this man could be said to be dead.
At this moment, a faint green spark appeared, and Zhang Xianguang suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the burning red paper.
“It appears, the nails of the treacherous bride.”
Reaching out to hold the burning red paper in his hand, Zhang Xianguang’s eyes were thoughtful:
"Dajiang City, the ghost market, is it here?"
Zhang Xianguang looked hesitant. He also knew about the ghost market in Dajiang City. The old man from the drug store had informed him that he could go there today if he was free. Take a look around, there are a lot of good things there.
But it was precisely because he knew that he hesitated. Dajiang City is Lin Qian’s territory. He currently doesn’t know if Lin Qian is in Dajiang City. If he is not there, he can go there openly, but if that young man is in Dajiang City, Dajiang City.
That would be a bit troublesome. It’s not that he is afraid of Lin Qian, but it may be a bit troublesome to do it in Dajiang City.
In the darkness, the expression on Zhang Xianguang's face was very gloomy. In this environment, it made people panic.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xianguang let out a long breath, with a fierce look in his eyes, sat up and walked outside.
"I have to go this time. I must get the bride's nails. This is the only thing missing from my arrangement. I can't give up at any cost."
Walk out of the tattoo parlor , a winding yellow mud path appeared, Zhang Xianguang walked in without hesitation. If Lin Qian was in Dajiang City today and found him, there would be a fight at worst. If he was not there, then he was not there.
Anyway, he is bound to get the ghost nails, and no one can do it, even the starving ghosts...
Ojiang City, night market, streets, blown by the wind Lanterns, flashing green light, and red umbrellas rotate in mid-air with the wind.
Zhang Miao and Tang Yun held hands and walked among the vendors. From time to time, they stopped in front of a stall, selected items, and occasionally bargained with the stall owner.
If the price is as expected and it is something they like, they will not be stingy with the money and buy it generously.
While shopping along the way, they also bought a lot of things, all of which they liked. The prices were not expensive, the expensive ones only cost twenty or thirty yuan, and the cheap ones only cost one or two yuan. Price for money.
For just one or two yuan, they bargained with the boss for a long time before the boss agreed to sell it to them.
Maybe I felt that it was not worth wasting so much time on them for one or two yuan, so I agreed to sell them.
When selling to them, the boss was also very helpless. There was nothing he could do about such customers. He felt tired if he sold, and felt a loss if he didn't sell.
Zhang and Miao didn't care about the boss's psychological activities. What they enjoyed was the process of bargaining. It didn't matter how much they bargained, as long as it was within the acceptable range.
This should be the nature of a woman. Even if it is only one or two yuan, she will keep talking about it for a long time, and she may not buy it in the end...
Zhang Miao and Tang Yun I had a great time shopping, and the bargaining process was very enjoyable.
The two of them strolled slowly, passing many street stalls and seeing many strange and weird things. These are rare but also very common.
The two of them wandered all the way and came to a stall selling manicures. The stall owner was an old woman who looked very old. Her face was full of wrinkles, she was wearing a pair of reading glasses, and she had a faint aura of decadence.
Although the old woman seemed very kind, Zhang Miao and Tang Yun always felt that the old woman was very strange, indescribably strange.
But for them, these are not important. What is important is these beautiful and exquisite manicures.
Zhang Miao and Tang Yun stopped in front of the stall, looking at the exquisitely crafted manicures on the stall, and their hearts were already moved.
The manicure colors at the stall are many, red, white, gold, black, purple, light blue...
Each one looks so touching, and just looking at it has an inexplicable attraction, as if attracting them to buy it and wear it.
Zhang Miao took a fancy to the ten red manicures at a glance. He reached out and picked them up. They felt smooth and delicate, as if they were made of jade. There was a slight coolness in his hand, just like jade. Very similar.
Zhang Miao's eyes flickered as she gently touched the manicure in her hand, her face full of intoxication.
“Old lady, how much does this manicure cost?”
After playing with it for a while, Zhang Miao finally remembered to ask the price.
The old woman looked at the manicure in Zhang Miao's hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a kind smile appeared on her face:
"Little girl, this thing is very cheap, ten of them only cost 30 yuan."
< br>"Huh? Thirty yuan , so cheap?”
Zhang Miao was a little surprised that this manicure was so cheap. According to her opinion, although this thing is not made of particularly expensive materials, it costs more than thirty yuan based on its exquisiteness. That's right.
"Old lady, are you kidding?" Zhang Miao asked uncertainly. To be honest, she really couldn't believe that such a good thing only cost 30 yuan.
The old woman looked at Zhang Miao with some doubts in her eyes. Are all these young people so rich these days?
30 yuan is still cheap? This is already very expensive. Thirty yuan can buy a lot of supernatural items.
Although she was confused, the old woman nodded and said:
"Little girl, the old woman is not joking. This only costs thirty yuan. This thing you are interested in is already the best in my stall. The ones are too expensive, and the rest are not even more than 20 yuan.”
Hearing what the old woman said, Zhang Miao was immediately surprised. He looked at the other manicures on the stall, and his eyes instantly lit up. Tang Yun looked at each other, and both of them had ideas in their minds.
There was no such thing as too much for them, and both of them felt excited. Tang Yun picked up three sets of manicures, and Zhang Miao picked up five or six sets of manicures in addition to his favorite set of red manicures. Set of manicure in other colors.
The old woman looked at the actions of these two people and felt that these two people were really rich. She might make a big fortune today. Although this was true, she always felt that something was wrong, but she said There's something wrong with not coming out.
When Zhang Miao and Tang Yun were paying the bill, the old woman looked silently at the hundred-dollar bills in her hands and the two female dolls walking away, and she just felt like, "Oh shit." (End of this chapter)
