Chapter 2 The Broken House in the Deep Mountains

Seeing that I was still a little unhappy, Old Man Wang lowered his head for a moment and took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket with a pained look on his face. At a glance, it was estimated to be several thousand dollars!

This is probably comparable to the annual income of my small supermarket, right? No wonder my master always says he is a shady businessman!

"This is not like you, Old Man Wang. Everyone in our village knows that you are a tough guy who never plucks out a dime. This makes me a little hesitant!"

The corner of my mouth raised slightly. Although I said so, my heart was filled with joy. This business can make old man Wang, who has no money, spend a lot of money. This is enough to show that this is definitely a profitable business.

"Hey!" Old Man Wang was anxious at that time: "Brother Mu, please help me!"

"Give it away!" My eyes gleamed as I looked at the thousands of dollars. How could I care about the so-called rules?

When Mr. Wang saw that I agreed, he instantly became beaming with a smile, and there was also an imperceptible evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

At that time, I was completely stunned by the thousands of dollars! You know, I may not be able to earn so much after working hard in the supermarket for a year, let alone this time it is just a gift?

Although this was a violation of the rules, since it was my first time, I still took a chance and it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then thank you Brother Mu! Make sure to deliver it before dawn!"

I nodded lightly and shrugged indifferently: "Yeah."

No matter what kind of express delivery, it requires a certain time limit, and my business is no exception. It is usually delivered on the same day, which is quite efficient.

"Then thank you, Brother Mu!"

After sending Old Man Wang away, I just closed the door and thanked the guests. Anyway, no one would come looking at this situation. And I also received a task today, so there is no need to wait for some 'people'.

At nine o'clock in the evening, seeing that the sun had completely set, I rode my family's ancestral Sanba Gai and walked over to the place mentioned by Old Man Wang.

I live in a mountain village, and the mountain roads are rugged, and my back hurts from carrying a long box on my back. I never imagined that a small box could be so heavy.

This little rectangular box robbed me of all my strength.

It was already extremely hot in the dog days of summer, but now a cold wind blew, making me feel cold all over.

The excitement that I was originally excited about being able to practice the craftsmanship of my cheap master slowly died down, and I always felt a little bit uncomfortable inside.

It's not that I'm a coward. I've been very courageous since I was a child. People around me even nicknamed me "silly and bold". But for some reason, I felt uncomfortable and panicked ever since I entered the mountains.

In addition, the box on my back hurt me, and my speed became very slow. The original journey of more than ten minutes took me an hour and I didn't even arrive.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, I finally appeared in front of a dilapidated house in the mountains.

"It's strange, why haven't you seen this place before?"

I was very different in my mind. Even though it was deep in the mountains, my master took me running in the mountains every night. I knew 100% of the things in it, but at least I had a rough memory.

But I have never seen this dilapidated house before me.

I suppressed the confusion and beating heart in one breath and walked to the door.

boom!

Somehow, when I just walked to the gate, the two big red lanterns on the roof lit up at the same time! Everything around me was reflected in an unnatural red color.

It seemed that this was the place, so I brought the long box from behind to my face and gently knocked on the wooden door.

"Thum...thum...thum...thum thum."

There are rules for knocking on the door: a living person knocks three times, a ghost knocks four times, but people like me have to knock rhythmically, three long and two short, five times in total.

The sound I knocked on the door was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in the silent mountains!

"The sad wind is blowing, the evil thing is coming, come quickly!" I imitated the way my master taught me, and said sharply.

The voice was extremely harsh, and after I finished shouting, I even doubted whether it was my voice.

at the same time.

Da da da..

There were bursts of footsteps coming from the dilapidated house. As the sound came, a cold wind quickly appeared around me, making my whole body shiver unconsciously.

Squeak...

The wooden door opened a crack, and a pair of extremely dry hands emerged from inside! I wonder if it was because of the dryness, but his body was very small, about the same as a cigarette box!

The skin looked black and red under the light of the red lantern.

"When the evil thing comes, the evil person will take it, give it to me."

The voice was very cold, with a hint of a child's voice.

I suddenly frowned: "Since you know the code, you definitely know the rules. Do you need me to tell you?"

However, just when I was about to give him some knowledge, the hands suddenly reached their peak speed and snatched the box directly from my hand. At the same time, the wooden door was slammed shut.

"You!" I was just about to curse, but then I thought about it, this order had already broken the rules from the beginning, so I simply ignored it, turned around and rode back on my ancestral 38 big bar.

Anyway, this order is over, I’m excited just thinking about it! This trip is equivalent to my income this year. I really don’t know what my beggar is thinking, why he doesn’t do it?

Why didn't I go very far when a shrill roar suddenly came from behind me! It seemed like he was extremely angry!

"Fuck!"

I was startled, and the bicycle became unstable and fell to the ground with a clang.

There was a sudden roar in this wilderness. No matter how brave I am, I still have to be afraid!

The source of this sound is the dilapidated house!

I suddenly looked back, only to find that all the dilapidated houses that were there just now had disappeared! They were replaced by patches of trees.

Suddenly, a few words that my cheap master had said came to my mind.

People are 30% afraid of ghosts, and 70% of ghosts are afraid of people. These are just ordinary lonely souls.

Most of the ghosts that can confuse people's eyes are powerful ghosts that have absorbed enough Yin energy!

Even a Taoist priest would have trouble dealing with this thing, let alone a fledgling courier like me?

I stared blankly at the empty hillside in front of me.

I vaguely remember that the master said at that time, no matter what the reason was, no matter how much money I gave, I could never give away anything belonging to the devil!

Because they are moody, it is very likely that they will kill the person giving the gift if they don't like it! Or if there is some dispute, then wait for revenge!

As for people in our industry, most people don’t know how to deal with ghosts. Even if they know, it’s difficult to deal with evil ghosts. Therefore, there is also a saying: If you don’t sell a thousand taels of gold, how about giving away evil ghosts? I’m afraid it’s hard to do good.

!

I seemed to have had a quarrel with him just now...

run!

At that time, this was the only thought left in my mind!
Chapter completed!
