Chapter 4: The case of the black book
The east end of the county's furniture city is not difficult to find, I stomped on the big 28 with more than twenty minutes to arrive.
Ning Hao Yu's store is also very easy to find, enter the door and go all the way in, the innermost next to the toilet that is.
I pushed the 28 bike in, no one greeted me, and no one asked me what kind of furniture I wanted to buy, obviously, they did not think I could afford their goods.
When I got to the door of Ning Hao Yu's store, I saw a middle-aged man bargaining with him.
Next to them was a plain black bookcase, and the middle-aged man slapped it a few times from time to time, and then rambled on about it to Ning Hao Yu for a while.
He probably meant that the book case was not worth the price Ning Hao Yu said.
Although Ning Hao Yu looks bookish, but the temper is very bad, once heard the other side said so, he said: not worth the money, you go to the neighborhood and then turn around, if there is lower than my price, you buy theirs, if not, you come back, or this price, not a penny less.
That middle-aged man is also a quick-tempered, yelling at Ning Haoyu two words will not do business, and then turned his head and left.
When the middle-aged man left, Ning Hao Yu saw me, smiled and greeted me: Li Chuyi, long time no see, your grandfather is okay.
I stopped the car and said: My grandfather is gone.
Ning Hao Yu froze for a moment and said: so ah, then your condolences ah!
Into his store I pushed his shoulders and said: I'm sorry for the ah, my grandfather is not dead, is gone, do not know where to go, right, you have no new old furniture here, I want to get one or two pieces.
Ning Hao Yu asked me to do what with, I said, I'm ready to close the birthday suit store, open a fortune-telling store, I will rely on fortune-telling life.
Listened to my words, Ning Haoyu laughed loudly and said: you kid, can not ah?
I looked at Ning Hao Yu a few eyes and said: you today, the Palace of wealth and heavy bad luck, if I'm not wrong, you open the door from today to the present has not opened it.
Ning Hao Yu touched his nose and said: count your kid guessed right, also, look at it, I have this new goods here, the warehouse is now empty, in a few days I'm also ready to change the line.
I look at his furniture in the store, while asking him why change the line of work, the store is not open well.
Ning Hao Yu said: my uncle opened a bigger store in the city, let me go to help, I used to count the shares, the ancient furniture of this line, it is not good to do in our county, the rich or too few, the city has a lot of rich people, but also my uncle's access to a lot of good work.
Said he asked me to look on what did not, I turned a circle down, also looked at the door of the pure black book case, pointed out: No, on that, how much money.
Ning Hao Yu looked and said: that thing? You want, I ride an electric tricycle free to send you over, but I as a brother, I have to remind you, that thing can be a little evil, to the night is always snapping are ringing, as if there is someone holding a shocking wood knocking on the top of the same, strange oozing.
What? Hear Ning Hao Yu said so, I began to feel a little incredible, and then thought he was bluffing me, my grandfather and I do business with the dead for so many years, I have not seen what ghosts and monsters appear.
Seeing that I showed a look of disbelief, Ning Hao Yu continued: I really mean it!
I asked him if it is true, why not just sell the book case to the person just now, Ning Hao Yu said with a bitter smile: businessman, who do not want to earn more, I'm not looking at him on it, I want to raise the price to a higher lift, this is the way we do business consistently, you do not understand.
I laughed at him: I do not understand your business practices, the guests are driven away.
Ning Hao Yu let me cut the crap, asked me whether I want, want to send me over, do not choose another, but to pay.
I have a person in the money above a principle, that is, can save a point is a point, since Ning Haoyu free to send me a book case, but also free to send me to the door, I have no reason not to?
So I slapped my thighs and said: yes!
Then I bought a chair and an old bookcase here in Ning Hao Yu, spent more than four hundred dollars.
These things, Ning Hao Yu riding an electric tricycle and sent me over, but also helped me to the house arranged a bit.
As for Ning Hao Yu's store, directly closed the door, anyway, he is ready to change the line of work, not ready to finish these days.
After setting up my store, Ning Hao Yu and I ate kebabs and drank bottles of wine at a barbecue stand near my house.
I can't drink, seven or eight bottles of belly began to be a little dizzy, Ning Hao Yu stronger than me, can still help me walk, but the speech also began to become no door.
He told me that he sent me today that book case, from a dead old man's home to collect, I heard that this book case is the deceased's favorite place to dance, so after death, this table every night are ringing, his family can not stand, which is the table to deal with.
Ning Hao Yu at that time looked at the table is ancient pine wood, wood quality is good, did not ask clearly the situation, spend money to accept, but later realized that there is something fishy, looking for someone to inquire, and then want to back out has been too late.
And since the collection of the book case, Ning Hao Yu store business is getting worse, sometimes a few days are no business, he also thought of the book case to throw, but whenever the idea of this time, his heart will feel reluctant to, after all, that is to take the money to collect.
I asked Ning Hao Yu dizzy, that table is not every day, he said: not, sometimes even a few days are ringing, sometimes half a month do not ring once.
Talking to my house, Ning Hao Yu tonight to stay here, my grandfather left, just as he slept in my grandfather's house.
But he was a little reluctant, said he did not like the old man's house, to sleep in my house, let me go to sleep in my grandfather's house, Ning Hao Yu is a guest, gave me a book case for nothing, but also helped me a lot of help, so I'll go along with him back.
Riding on the wine we both quickly fell asleep.
About two or three o'clock in the second half of the night, I heard a vague sound coming from the yard, like the sound of opening the door, but also like the sound of someone moving the table.
Cackle!
I rolled over and continued to sleep, I thought it might be one of the tenants on the second floor coming back, because on the second floor in addition to that fat webmaster, there was another night owl type of tenant, a twenty-seven or eighty-eight year old woman, average looking, but with good lines, working in a KTV, often thinking of using her body to pay off the rent, but all of them were rejected by me.
My first time can not want to be so casually accounted for.
But I did not sleep a while and a creaking sound came, and this sound than the last time to a few decibels, and very harsh, so that I have a lot of goosebumps on the body.
I was sleeping soundly on the yard shouted: the middle of the night back can not be a little lighter? Do not know everyone is asleep?
I shouted so a voice, a long time outside there is no sound, but I just want to sleep when, outside and came a creaking sound, and this time is a continuous several sound, I hear really, not the sound of the door, but someone wiped the floor to pull the sound of the table.
I sat up from the bed with a sound of miso, I remembered about the book case that was put in the store, it wouldn't be the same as what Ning Hao Yu said, it was really haunted, right?
I looked out through the window, there was nothing in the courtyard, there was no silhouette on the staircase, and it was so dark outside that I could only barely recognize the shapes of the objects.
Just as I was mesmerized, a black shadow flashed past in front of me with a whoosh, I was so scared that I couldn't help but take a few steps backward, and at the same time shouted: Who!
No one answered me, the black shadow drifted through the direction seems to be my little store.
I opened the yard lights, and then carrying a flashlight from the house slowly walked out, I thought, will not attract thieves.
At this time, Ning Hao Yu also came out of the house, saw me and asked in a low voice: you also heard.
I said, I also saw a black shadow into my store, I think it is a thief.
Hearing me say this, Ning Hao Yu lowered his voice and said: thief, then let's go catch.
I used my hand to cover the flashlight, barely revealing some light to illuminate the road, and then walked with Ning Hao Yu to the back door of the store.
This is a whole plank, no windows, we can not see the situation inside, and I checked the door lock is intact, without any traces of being pried.
Ning Hao Yu said: first year, are you mistaken, this door is well locked.
I also wondered in my heart, it's hard not to be that I just saw a blurred vision, or that the thief went up to the second floor?
Just in the time of nonsense, my little store on the snap issued a light sound, the sound is very obvious, is someone holding something in the knocking my newly purchased that the case of the case of the book.
Ning Hao Yu a face of horror, trying to suppress the voice: just fucking this sound, oozing not.
I nodded and began to pull out the key, Ning Hao Yu pulled my hand and asked me what I did, I said: just listen to the sound of how to know whether it is a ghost, I want to see with my own eyes.
Ning Hao Yu pulled my hand will not let go, whispered urgently: you crazy? If there really is a ghost, what should I do?
I thought for a moment, I bit my finger and drew a vertical line on my seal, and then drew one on Ning Haoyu's seal.
He asked me what I was doing, so I said: the Hall of Seals is a phase door that is easily invaded by evil spirits, so anyone who invites a ghost will have a blackened Hall of Seals. I am now sealing the Hall of Seals with Yang blood, so the ghosts won't be able to get on us, and won't be able to harm us.
Said I paused for a moment, and then continued: But these are my grandfather taught me, I have never seen a ghost before, whether it works or not, I do not know.
Ning Hao Yu thought for a moment, then said: I have never seen, or we will go to see, if not, we will run, you live in this yard so many families, we do not need to be too afraid, right?
Discussed, the two of us flocked to each other to open the door of the store, the door is open, I dare to take the flashlight to a light, and saw us put in the center of the bookcase has been torn off a large section.
And in the corner of one leg of the bookcase is also squatting a black shadow.
