ghost

Fang Xia put his hands in his mouth, walked out, and casually glanced in Hu Jia's direction.Hu Jia was arranging the folds of his coat, and the short-haired girl opposite Hu Jia was putting on her own lipstick with a small hand mirror.

"Why are you grinding..." Fang Xia muttered in a low voice, turned around, and walked towards the ordering place at the front desk of the store.

"I want a strawberry ice cream, take away, thank you." After Fang Xia ordered, she gave Fu Jin a questioning look with her sideways eyes.

[I do not need. ] Fu Jin shook his head slightly.

He doesn't need to eat or sleep, but he hasn't told Fang Xia clearly, and he doesn't intend to stop his behavior, because he enjoys this treatment very much.Whether it is giving him food or leaving him half a bed, he will not take the initiative to refuse.However, Fu Jin decided to avoid behaviors that would make Fang Xia look too weird in the eyes of ordinary people, such as Fang Xia's act of holding a chair just now.Fang Xia himself has a big heart and doesn't care about other people's opinions, but he doesn't like to see others look at Fang Xia with weird, incomprehensible, and even mocking eyes.

Fang Xia paid and waited for a while, the waiter at the front desk prepared the ice cream and handed it to him.A pink ice cream scoop the size of half a fist in a crispy cone.Fang Xia took the ice cream, opened her mouth and took a big bite on it, shivering from the cold.

Fu Jin found Fang Xia's reaction quite amusing, like a frightened puppy, couldn't help but take a second look.Fang Xia didn't notice, she turned her body slightly while her teeth were bared from the cold, she caught a glimpse of Hu Jia and her friend walking out of the coffee shop from the corner of her eye, and then walked unhurriedly towards the door of the shop.

While eating ice cream, Fang Xia fell behind Hu Jia and the others not too far away.

Hu Jia and the others obviously came to visit the shopping mall. After leaving the coffee shop, they walked into the shopping mall.Fang Xia followed them and turned two corners, then turned to the elevator room.

The location of the two elevators here is relatively remote in the mall, but it may be because of the crowds on weekends. Apart from Hu Jia and her friends, there are five people waiting.

Fang Xia stuffed the last tip of the cone into his mouth, licked the corner of his lips, then quietly mixed into the five people, stood at the right rear of Hu Jia, looked up at the elevator display board Jumping numbers.

The number of words on the display board fluctuated and decreased as the elevator descended floor by floor.Fang Xia moved his left hand in his pocket, slowed down his breathing, and prepared secretly.

Soon, the elevator reached the first floor, the elevator doors opened slowly, and the waiting passengers walked in unanimously.

Fang Xia also moved forward together, approaching Hu Jia.Before Hu Jia steps into the elevator, take the first step and enter the elevator from her right.At the moment when they passed by, with the cover of the body and the hem of the clothes, the left hand quickly and lightly pulled out the wallet from Hu Jia's pocket, and stuffed it into his own pocket.When Fang Xia stepped into the elevator with both feet, the short white wallet, which still had Hu Jia's body temperature, was already lying safely in the pocket of Fang Xia's coat.

The elevator reached the second floor, and the elevator door opened again. Fang Xia walked out of the elevator, smiled triumphantly at Fu Jin beside him, and then walked towards the escalator, preparing to turn back to the first floor.

Fang Xia stole Hu Jia's wallet skillfully and quickly, but he did not escape Fu Jin's eyes.Fang Xia turned her head and showed him her big white teeth, and he instantly understood what the other party was proud of.

After being dazzled by Fang Xia's snow-white teeth, Fu Jin paused for a moment before asking, "Where did you learn it?" ]

"In the town where I lived when I was young, there was a habitual thief known as Qianshou Along. I learned from him." Standing on the escalator, Fang Xia looked sideways at Fu Jin, who was half a head taller than her, and stared at him. With cold and good-looking eyebrows, he added in a low voice: "But apart from pranks, I have touched cigarettes from the second senior brother at most when I was young, and I have never really stolen other people's things. Today is the first time I have done it for real, and I am also famous as a teacher."

[Um. ] Fu Jin nodded slightly.

Sure enough, this child was just a pure lack of heart, and he didn't have a bad heart.

Fang Xia turned back to the first floor of the shopping mall, instead of entering the coffee shop, he sent a message to ask Geng Shudan to come out.

After Geng Shudan came out of the coffee shop, he followed Fang Xia out of the shopping mall, was taken to a remote corner, and was stuffed with a women's short wallet in his arms.

"This is...?" Geng Shudan was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

"Hu Jia's wallet! Don't you want something she uses frequently?"

"How did you get here?" Geng Shudan opened his wallet suspiciously, and there were several hundred-yuan bills and various ID savings cards in it.From the photo and name on the ID card that I took out at random, it can be confirmed that the owner of the wallet is indeed Hu Jia.

Fang Xia patted the hem of Geng Shudan's clothes lightly, turned his hand over, and then Geng Shudan saw that his mobile phone, which was kept in his pocket, was being pinched between Fang Xia's fingers.

Geng Shudan remained expressionless: "...good skills, you can go to the Spring Festival Gala to perform magic."

Geng Shudan didn't obsess over whether Fang Xia's theft was right or not. He just felt relieved when he got Hu Jia's wallet. The matter had made a small progress, and Fang Xia had helped him.

The little ghost temporarily sealed in the mink coat by him is not strong, but it is a ghost after all, and accidents will easily happen if it is delayed for a long time.It's better to find out the matter as soon as possible, so that this matter can come to an end.

Asking ghosts is about wandering ghosts wandering in the yang world.

Wandering ghosts are different from fierce ghosts. They are the souls of people who died in accidents or died in bed. They have no resentment in their hearts, and generally they will not have much impact on living people.Most of the reasons why they stayed in the mortal world were unfulfilled last wishes or reluctance to leave their relatives. As long as they didn't commit many evils during their lifetime, the ghosts would not forcibly take them away.And these dead souls stay in the yang world only temporarily, the yang energy in the yang world is harmful to the souls of the dead, if the time comes, if they don't leave, they will be eroded by the yang qi and die.However, these lingering guests in the mortal world can often see the secrets of many living people, so they have the technique of asking ghosts.

According to legend, the ancient technique of asking ghosts can know the catastrophe of heaven and earth at the top, and the insects and ants in the grass at the bottom. Those who can use it to the extreme can know everything.

"What about now?" Fang Xia stood behind Geng Shudan, with his back against the wall, kicked a small stone at his feet, and asked.

They are now in a narrow alley, facing Hu Jia's residential area, and Geng Shudan is half-squatting against a wall of the alley, fiddling with incense sticks and paper money.These things were bought after they had lunch and traveled half a city, and they were the simplified version of the equipment needed to perform the ghost-questioning technique.

"Now? Now, when asking ghosts, you can only ask about personnel, not destiny, and you need common items of the person you are asking. It has become more troublesome, and you may not be able to ask what you want to know." Geng Shudan paused , and continued, "There is one thing that must be remembered in the art of asking ghosts—ghost words cannot be trusted, and truth and falsehood need to be carefully discerned. Even if they are not fierce ghosts, these wandering ghosts will not have goodwill towards living people."

"People's words may not be credible."

Geng Shudan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."

During the day, when the yang energy is heavy, wandering souls and ghosts will try to hide as much as possible, and it is difficult to recruit them out.If you want to recruit ghosts, it is easier to succeed at night.

When the night fell, the house-to-house lights in the community were turned on. The storefronts where Fang Xia and the others were located were concentrated in the building materials business. If there was no business at night, they closed the doors early, and the nearby people gradually disappeared.

Geng Shudan lit two white candles standing on the ground, borrowed the fire to light three sticks of incense, and put them in the cans in the middle of the white candles, with Hu Jia's wallet on the side, and the paper money in a large white porcelain bowl, Start muttering words.

Fang Xia didn't understand what Geng Shudan was saying, but looked at the ghost-sacrificing props by the flickering light of the white candle, and couldn't help but lamented the rudimentary props again, they were worse than charlatans.

After Geng Shudan finished reading his words, after waiting for a while, Fang Xia began to look around.The technique of asking ghosts is to recruit wandering ghosts who know about the owner of the item, and then make inquiries.But Geng Shudan had finished reading all his words, and Fang Xia hadn't seen a ghost yet.Oh, it was a ghost other than Fu Jin.

"I didn't come..." Fang Xia muttered softly.

Geng Shudan was quiet for a while, then looked back at Fang Xia in a half-squatting position, "May I ask, is Mr. Fu there?"

"Here!" Fang Xia pointed to Fu Jin beside her.

Geng Shudan: "..." No wonder you can't attract ghosts, Fu Jin is here, it's not bad if those wandering spirits don't hide.

"Mr. Fu..." Geng Shudan looked at where Fang Xia was pointing, "Please move away a little bit."

Fu Jin glanced at Geng Shudan lightly, then retreated into the alley, Fang Xia also followed him and ran in two jolting steps, then stretched her neck and continued to watch Geng Shudan fiddle with him.

"Do ghosts like to eat incense and other offerings?" Fang Xia looked at the extinguished white candle, suddenly thought of this, and asked Fu Jin.

[Well, that counts as food for ghosts. ]

"Hey! You didn't say it earlier." Fang Xia turned to look at Fu Jin, "I'll buy it for you tomorrow too."

[I do not need. ]

"Didn't you say that ghosts love to eat?"

[Li Gui doesn't need those. ] Li Gui likes blood sacrifices, living sacrifices and other things that can brew evil spirits.These Fu Jin didn't want to tell Fang Xia, for fear of frightening him.Even if Fang Xia won't be frightened, he doesn't want to let him know this.Fang Xia was like the only hut owner who allowed him to step in on the snowy night road, how could he let those things dirty the bright and warm place of the hut owner.

Fortunately, a vague ghost appeared at the alley near the end of Geng Shudan, and Fang Xia's attention was quickly diverted.

"Here we come..." Fang Xia whispered.

At the same time, Geng Shudan saw that the candlelight flickering in the wind turned into a nodding dance.He picked up the whole stack of paper money and began to burn one by one in the porcelain bowl.

The author has something to say:

Fang Xia: Although I have top-notch skills in stealing things from people, I only show off my skills and don't make money. I am a good man with noble morals.

Fu Jin: Well, I know.
