Flavored candle shop

In the eerie silence, Hong Yao looked up at the young man holding a joss stick in front of him with a complicated and disturbed expression, and said softly, "My joss stick shop is a ghost business."

Ma Ye wanted to slap himself. What kind of nonsense question is he asking? Going to a candle shop and asking the owner if he believes in ghosts is the same as going to a temple to ask a monk whether he believes in Buddhism, or going to a Taoist temple to ask if a monk can ascend to the top of his cultivation. What's the difference!

"Boss Hong, I don't mean anything else! It's just...just..." Ma Ye struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth under Hong Yao's calm eyes and told him why he came to the incense candle shop.

"I've been dreaming of a strange old man recently. I've never seen him in my life, but he calls me by my name in his dreams, as if he knows me very well..." Ma Ye was puzzled.

Fang Chong, who has seen the big world in the incense candle shop, is no longer satisfied with this plot, and can't help urging: "And then what?"

Isn't it just dreaming of a stranger, how many people in the dream are all acquaintances in life, this is also worth a trip to the incense shop?Besides, even if you want to run, you should run to the temple or Taoist temple.

"I didn't take this dream seriously at first, until..." Ma Ye's expression suddenly became very strange, "I didn't realize it was wrong until he asked me to prepare paper money for him after dreaming twice in a row. .”

"In addition to praying for gods and worshiping Buddha, joss sticks are just...not to mention paper money."

The identity of the old man in his dream was instantly clear!

"Then you came to buy incense candles?" Are you so obedient?

Ma Ye shook his head: "Of course not!"

"I've bought it several times. He said those incense candles didn't taste good, so I bought them from the incense candle shop. Now I've been to all the incense candle shops in Shangjing... No, I came here today. Well."

Everyone: "..."

What is this one-in-a-million top-quality soft and deceptive soft bun!

Fang Chong said implicitly: "Didn't you realize that you are being blackmailed by a strange ghost?"

"It's not blackmailing..." Ma Ye, who was naturally timid, said cowardly, "The old man didn't do anything to me, he didn't threaten me, he just screamed hungry in my dreams... It's pretty cool to chat with me every night. Dear."

"And incense candles are also cheap." It's just that your family's incense candles are very expensive... "It's not as expensive as the cat food I bought for stray cats."

Fang Chong glanced at Ma Ye inexplicably: "You may not have spent much money in the past, but it may not be so in the future."

"The incense candles in our incense candle shop, no matter on the ground or underground, no matter whether good ghosts or evil ghosts, no ghost can refuse the temptation of incense candles. If you taste it once, you will think twice, and if you have it twice, you will have three times... Repeatedly and endlessly exhausted."

Ma Ye: "..." So scary?Are the incense candles sold in your store drugs? !

Fang Chong sincerely persuaded: "If you don't want to be blackmailed until your wallet is empty, you should go to a Taoist temple or a temple to find monks and priests to help you take a look."

"By the way, for Taoist temples, we recommend Shangjing City God's Temple. For temples, Leiyun Temple on the outskirts of the city is very good...just be careful not to ask their abbots who practice medicine."

The corners of Ma Ye's mouth twitched. If he remembered correctly, Shangjing Town God's Temple had business dealings with their candle shop, right?Are you still in debt to the candle shop?

These days, even temples, Taoist temples and incense and candle shops have linked up...

Hong Yao glanced at Ma Ye, who was thinking about something, and slowly said to Fang Chong, who was rather angry, "One of them is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer, what's the matter with you."

Shi Jiawen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "That's right, let him suffer a few more times, not only to improve his memory, but also to increase our business for our incense candle shop!"

Ma Ye: "???" Hey, I'm still here!I can hear you!

Fang Chong: "???" Wait!Shouldn't there be more love and less routine between people?

Shocked, Fang Chong cast his eyes on the last conscience of the incense candle shop - Pei Ci, who smiled and said nothing.

Fang Chong seemed to be grabbing the last straw in the incense candle shop, his eyes were fixed on Pei Ci and he would not let go.

Pei Ci had no choice but to speak, with a firm voice: "Hong Yao is right."

Fang Chong was completely confused: "Is that so..."

Confused, Fang Chong turned to Ma Ye with an erratic voice: "...I was just talking casually just now, don't take it seriously, you should follow your own ideas..."

Ma Ye was silent, and said to the confused 'the only conscience of the candle shop': "Thank you, I will think about it carefully."

He bought all the joss sticks, but he still fed them one more time... just treat it as a good deed every day to save money and eliminate disasters.If the old man is really addicted, he will immediately turn to the forces of metaphysics!

"Well... can I go now?" Ma Ye said weakly.

"Of course, the door is right there. You can leave whenever you want. We are not a black shop where you sell and buy by force." Not guilty, as if she wasn't the one who cut her hair and left people in the rain.

To be sure, seeing that other people didn't look like they would stop him, Ma Ye hurriedly ran out of the gate with the candle in his arms, his movements were quick and agile, as if he was being chased by a vicious dog, and he disappeared at the end of the bluestone alley in a few strokes .

Hong Yao saw it in her eyes, shook her head and said: "Why do you have to do this, sooner or later you will find yourself again."

Shi Jiawen: "The boss is so sure?"

Hong Yao raised her eyebrows: "Meeting such a talkative soft bun, and having tasted the sweetness of our incense candles, do you think that ghost would be willing to wrong me to use ordinary incense candles?"

"That's true..." Although he hadn't suffered any grievances or hardships, it was difficult for him to go from extravagance to simplicity, and it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Shi Jiawen still understood this truth.

"But you don't have to work so hard to keep customers in the future." Hong Yao glanced at Shi Jiawen's black hair with delicate pearl hairpins, and reminded, "Be careful of baldness."

Shi Jiawen touched his fluffy and soft long hair subconsciously, and said with a dry smile, "No way, I just used a little..."

"Our orthodox Shi family has a lot of hair. Look at me and my brother, the hair is black and shiny. Shi Jin is not as good as us. His messy hair doesn't grow long. If it grows a little longer, it will split. It's broken, it's ugly."

Shi Jin can be trampled by his hair, Princess Jiawen, you really hate him.But is the inheritance of your Shi family reflected in your hair?I don't feel like I have any advantage...

Fang Chong was complaining silently in his heart, when he saw Hong Yao nodded solemnly and said——

"Ah Ci's hair is really thick and soft."

"???" The straight man Fang Chong had just rushed out of a daze, and then fell into a daze again, and blurted out a question mark in his heart: "Boss red, how do you know that the boss's hair is soft?"

Pei Ci's dry cough did not stop Fang Chong from speaking wisely.

Why do you know the hair is soft?Of course I touched it!

Shi Jiawen couldn't help but glance at Fang, who had no vision: "Because brother and sister-in-law... Boss Hong lives in the same room."

Of course he knew that the two bosses lived in the same room... So why did Boss Red know that the boss's hair is very soft?

A man's head can't be touched casually!

Fang Chong's doubts seemed to have substance, but no one paid any attention to him.

Shi Jiawen said, "Father, don't let me talk to idiots" while looking for a mirror to re-do it, in preparation for going out to buy a mobile phone later.

As for the two 'hair parties', one had red ears and bowed his head in silence, the other stared at the people around him in a daze as if he was thinking about some difficult problem. Although they didn't speak, they even stayed together in silence, the atmosphere was quiet but not Awkward.

……

When the sky got darker, the event that Shi Jiawen was looking forward to finally began. For this trip accompanied by two 'brothers', she not only re-braided her hair, but also specially changed into a dress that was not so delicate and gorgeous and easy to walk in!

Shi Jiawen was about to cross the threshold of the incense and candle shop arrogantly, when he was stopped by Hong Yao, who took out an uncolored plain white paper and stabbed him, saying: "Attach it to this before going out."

Looking at the paper puppet with no facial features, no gender, and no color in the paper clothes, the pretty girl frowned and acted coquettishly: "Why are you attached to the paper puppet? Doesn't Jiawen look good today?"

Hong Yao put the crude paper stick that was only pasted with a few layers of white paper in front of Shi Jiawen, raised her eyebrows with folded arms, and was not moved by her coquettishness: "I can't tell if you are well-dressed. Attach it to the paper stick man It's for you and those sharp-eyed passers-by outside."

Shi Jiawen was puzzled: "For me and passers-by?"

Pei Ci thought for a while: "Because of the shadow."

Shi Jiawen looked down, well, she really has no shadow, not even a ghost.In order not to be watched by enthusiastic and capable people who go out for a walk, in order to stop the sudden rainstorm and thunder roaring, and for the sake of the little hearts of passers-by, she should use a shell.

It's really not that she is lonely and self-righteous, even if she doesn't care about her appearance, with these two good-looking and temperamental brothers beside her, they are destined to be the most shining existence in the crowd when they go out, not to mention that she is not bad. .

If there are too many people staring at her, then people will find out that she is invisible and not a human being... Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. It is a rare pleasure to go out with my brother. Ugly is ugly Bar!Anyway, my brother knew that it was all an illusion, but his sister was beautiful!

After Shi Jiawen gritted her teeth and got into the paper pierced body, and opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that nothing had changed, the dress was still the one she had just changed, and her hair was also her carefully rebraided hair.

"Ai???"

"Okay, let's go out quickly, the little girl knows how to love beauty..." Hong Yao took Pei Ci and walked several steps, her low and soft voice came along the evening breeze, "close the door , don't close it."

Shi Jiawen stood in place holding the hem of her skirt, her eyes blushed inexplicably, she thought of the plain white paper pierced man with no facial features but wrapped in white paper clothes, she thought it was crude before, but now she understands how to prepare it The various delicate thoughts of the people hidden in it...

Thinking about it, how could it be possible to make such a simple and rough paper piercing with red medicine that can make paper piercings look like real people.Shi Jiawen wiped the corners of his eyes, looked up at the exquisite paper-stitched people hanging on the wall, either in bright colors or plain and gentle, and thought, no matter how exquisite it is, it is just a commodity for money, but this plain white one was specially made for her yeah...

After looking at it for a while, Shi Jiawen turned his gaze to the body of Hong Yao who had reached the end of the alley, and his back was extremely gentle in the twilight. His eyes were bewildered and he murmured in a low voice: "This is... Is the elder sister-in-law like a mother..."

Fang Chong, who was waiting at the door: "???"

What's wrong with you Jingchao people? !
