Chapter 44

The nights in the countryside are very lively, and it is summer again. By the pond and in front of the empty temple, a group of aunts are dancing square dances. The excitement continues until late at night before gradually dissipating.

The wooden house next to the ancestral hall, the stall set up in front of Liu Shanxi's house had long been put away. He was sitting in the inner room, fiddling with a paper man in his hand.

The dancing aunt dispersed and the entrance of the ancestral hall was restored to its deserted state!

At this moment, at Tuozi's house, Su Chen walked out of the room where he was resting, opened the gate of Tuozi's house and walked out. However, before he could walk far, he heard cheers around the corner of the alley.

"Yeah, I guessed it right, I knew Mr. Su would come out."

Under the street lights around the corner, Yinli and the three girls stood there, and at this moment, Liu Xin looked at her two roommates with a proud and excited expression.

So, is this a bet on yourself?

Seeing the three girls, Su Chen was a little curious. Yin Li didn't care about responding to his roommate's pride and said apologizing to Su Chen: "Mr. Su, Xinzi said you will definitely come out tonight and want to follow you to see the fun."

"I will definitely come out tonight?" Su Chen looked at Liu Xin with some surprise.

Receiving Su Chen's gaze, Liu Xin smiled and replied proudly: "Mr. Su, I'm not stupid. Yinli's third uncle's house is also in the town. If we want to live, we can go back and stay in this village. There is no need to stay in this village. If you want to stay in this village, you must have something to do at night."

"So you didn't go back to town but were waiting for me here?"

"We went back, went back for a meal and drove Yinli's third uncle's car, and the car stopped in Qian Village."

When Su Chen heard Liu Xin's answer, he felt helpless. The girl was quite thoughtful, but he did have important things to do tonight.

"I have something to do tonight, you'd better go back."

"Mr. Su, don't, let's go with you, and let's have a long experience and see what's the difference between that ancestral hall and Uncle Liu."

It was Liu Xin who spoke, but this time Su Chen's face was not helpless but surprised.

Seeing Su Chen's surprised eyes, Liu Xin became even more proud and said, "Mr. Su is curious about how I know? If I tell the reason, Mr. Su, please bring us with me."

"Let's talk about it first." Su Chen did not respond. He was curious about how Liu Xin saw this.

"Hehe, it's actually very simple. First of all, Mr. Su, you are a capable person. When you come to this village, you definitely don't want to see the scenery or something. It's definitely important. So I pay attention to you carefully during the day. Although we have visited many places in Waxiba Village and you have stopped to see some places, I feel that you are obviously not interested in these places, and only after you arrive at the ancestral hall."

"You haven't stayed in other places for more than three minutes, but you have been in the ancestral hall for more than ten minutes. The most important thing is that I noticed that you were still standing there for a while. Although I don't know what Mr. Su, you are doing, this scene reminds me of some scenes of Taoist monks meditating and practicing on TV before."

"At the same time, I also noticed that when Mr. Su, you stood there quietly, the look of Uncle Liu looking at you was a little wrong. At that time, Brother Tuozi handed a cigarette to Uncle Liu, but Uncle Liu took the cigarette back. Although he soon found that he had changed it, it was enough to explain the problem."

"People only make such a wrong move when they have something to worry about, and Mr. Su's heart is Mr. Su. In addition, I also noticed that after Mr. Su's fiancée came in, the old man wearing a straw hat and Mr. Liu also looked at each other for a few seconds."

"To sum up, this ancestral hall and that Liu Bo is not simple. Mr. Su should go to find that Liu Bo tonight."

After listening to Liu Xin's explanation, Su Chen was a little surprised. The girl's observation was really subtle and not as careless as the appearance showed.

"Mr. Su, although I don't have the ability to do it, I'm also the one who has watched five hundred episodes of Conan after all."

Looking at the smug smile on Liu Xin's face, I saw Yinli and Zhang Qian's expressions of expectation. After pondering for three seconds, Su Chen nodded and agreed.

"That's great, Mr. Su, don't worry, we will definitely not drag you down. We will do whatever you want us to do." Zhang Qian also promised from the side.

Although Yin Li didn't say anything, the pair of bright eyes could not be covered in the dark night, revealing the joy of the master.

Ancestral hall!

When Su Chen brought Yinli's three girls there, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. The door of the ancestral hall was locked, while the door of Liu Shanxi's wooden house was open, and there were faint lights inside.

"Mr. Su, that Uncle Liu is not here."

After walking into the wooden house, Yinli and the three girls found that there was no one in the whole wooden house, but there were several paper people on the ground. The whole wooden house was filled with paper money, incense and candles, and combined with the faint light, it gave people a gloomy feeling.

"Aren't people here?"

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could answer, a figure appeared at the door. It was an old man in his sixties, dressed in an ordinary villager.

When Yin Li and the three girls were surprised when they saw the old man appear, why did the old man not sleeping at home at this night?

When he saw this old man, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What do you want to buy?"

"Buy something to wear." The old man replied.

"Okay, is the old man from this village?" Su Chen continued to ask without any surprise.

"Um."

Su Chen looked at an account book on the table, opened the account book and picked up the pen, "Can you leave your name convenient for the elderly?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and Su Chen explained: "Brother Liu has something to do today, so I will look at the store for him."

"Chen Guanzhi" said the old man whispered. (From now on, almost all you see are the names of supporting roles)

Su Chen wrote the old man's name on it, but the old man didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out of the store.

"This old man is so surprised. How come I come here to buy clothes? Is Uncle Liu still a tailor?"

After the old man left, Zhang Qian asked curiously, for some reason, but after the old man came in, she was a little depressed and dared not speak.

But as soon as Zhang Qian finished saying this, another figure appeared at the door. This time, an old lady appeared, walking in with a cane.

However, when I saw this old lady, Yinli and the three girls felt a little chill all over, and the old lady was like an ice warehouse emitting air conditioning.

"Where is Xiao Liu?"

The old lady spoke, and Su Chen heard the old lady's words and explained: "Uncle Liu is not here now, what's wrong with you, old lady?"

"Last time, Xiao Liu asked me to cut a piece of clothing, but it turned out to be a hole. How do I wear it?"

The old lady came to ask for guilt. Su Chen was a little embarrassed. Uncle Liu was not careful in his work. He immediately replied: "Old lady, Uncle Liu made a mistake. I will tell him that he would cut one for you again."

"Call Xiao Liu to hurry up. I have to wear new clothes to attend the birthday party of the White Horse Queen."

"Don't worry, you will definitely not delay you."

Hearing Su Chen's assurance, the old lady nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the door. As the old lady walked out of the door, Yinli and the three girls rushed to the cold feeling disappeared instantly.

When we arrived here, the three girls could not understand that something was wrong with the old grandfather and the old lady.

"Mr. Su, who are these two?" Yin Li asked curiously.

"As you think, these two are not humans, and this Uncle Liu is doing a very unusual business. This is doing a living business during the day and a dead business at night."

Su Chen's words made the three girls shiver. After living so much, they hadn't seen a ghost once in so many years, but they actually met five in just one or two days.

"There are so many ghosts in this world. It seems that I have a great life if I haven't met ghosts for so many years."

Because Su Chen is here, the three women calm down after panic. When Su Chen heard Zhang Qian's sigh, she smiled and explained: "In fact, this has something to do with the circle of contact. One circle has the perception of the circle."

"I understand. Actually, it's just like Conan. Ordinary people may not encounter a murder in their entire lives, but Conan happens wherever they go. The truth is the same."

Liu Xin's answer made Su Chen speechless. This means that he is a man who brings his own bgm like Conan, but Conan brings a murderous bgm and a ghost bgm.

"Mr. Su, didn't you say that ghosts can't leave their graves and walk around easily? Then how did these ghosts come here?" Yin Li, who was standing by, asked about his doubts in his heart, according to Su Chen's words yesterday.

"Normal speaking, ghosts who come to the underworld cannot walk too far, but there are still some places that can be accessed, such as here."

"Why?"

"I said that ghosts also have needs, and they also have to live in the underworld. Just like us normal people, they also have to wear clothes. Generally speaking, the descendants of the deceased will burn paper money to the deceased, but it is useless to have money. These ghosts will exchange money for items. This is quite good. Some deceased may have no descendants and have to make money to buy the items they need, so there is a Yin shop specializing in ghost business."

"Is this a Yindian? Is it the Ming money collected?" Zhang Qian asked curiously.

"Of course not."

Su Chen shook his head. Yindian is doing ghost business. There are many ways to trade. Some ghosts may exchange things for their life, while others will directly get money. In short, as long as the seller thinks it is worth it.

"So, Uncle Liu is such a good person, serving ghosts."

"Good man?" Su Chen glanced at Zhang Qian. Yin Store was a profitable industry. This is a cross-border business. I don't know how high the profit was. When Su Chen was in the underworld, he once heard a ghost complain that he went to the Yin Store to buy a set of clothes and spent a gold bar.
