Chapter 8: Getting closer

”Stick this on your windows and door, there shouldn't be anymore problems.” Looking at the time, it was nearing 9:30. I took out the several home protection talismans that I brought and gave it to Liu Jianjun while instructing him on their use.

”If tonight, you hear someone knocking on the door or window, don't get curious. By no means, open your door or windows, just continue on with your sleep. Well, ordinary evil spirits shouldn't have the strength to harm others once they are attacked by my talisman.” Having had my fill and seeing that it was getting late, I made appropriate arrangements for everything. I needed to return to the store to preserve and nurture my energy, waiting for the seventh day of Yang Cuihua's death.

”You are going back?” That stillborn spirit should have really scared Liu Jianjun as he didn't seem to be ready to let me leave.

”What, do you want me to stay behind and explore the gay side? Relax, paste the talismans and you will be safe and sound.” I went to the living room and picked up a cigarette from the cigarette packet lying on a small table. After lighting it up, I said to Liu Jianjun.

”Really?” Liu Jianjun wasn't confident in the talismans in his hand. Compared to these talismans, he had much more faith in me.

”Won't you know after you try it?” I winked at him and puffed out a smoke ring.

”Don't forget to pick me tomorrow evening.” After walking out the room, I reminded Liu Jianjun again as I moved towards the staircase.

”Hey handsome, come in for a health care.” It was already 10 in the night when I left Liu Jianjun's house. This was the time for those hair salons to solicit business. I was walking through an alley in a one way street; from a hair salon – in the roadside – with flickering pink lightings, came out two young girls who pa.s.sionately invited me.

Having been familiar with such situations, I swallowed my saliva and shook my head towards these seductive girls.

”Come in and take a look. Our girls are young, beautiful and experienced; the price is also cheap.” Noticing that I didn't intend to hang out, one of the girls made the final effort.

”No money, do you allow credit?” The girl was nagging on and on, I stopped, rubbed my nose and asked.

Credit was a great weapon, this word could easily repel G.o.ds and ghosts. The girl rolled her eyes at me and mumbled few words, then she turned around and returned to that over ten square meters store, waiting for another male to pa.s.s by.

The next day, evening, Liu Jianjun drove his car to my rituals store with dark circles under his eyes.

”Didn't sleep well?” I brought him inside the room and asked as I poured a cup of tea to him.

”I didn't dare to. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt something was trying to bore through my body.” Liu Jianjun spoke honestly. He didn't care about losing his face.

”Ohh, then I will give you a serenity talisman. Put it under your pillow and you will have a good sleep.” I sat facing him and took a sip from the teacup.

”Your store is not doing well, right?” Liu Jianjun took a sip of tea and showed concern towards my business.

”You realize!” I chuckled.

”That wreath has been on the display for more than a month and has not been sold yet. Want me to help you in marketing?” Liu Jianjun might have felt that he owed me a lot, so he thought of helping me in the business front.
