Chapter 524 (1/2)
Chang Wen walked around the village and found that under the willows at the entrance of the village, there were several old men.
These old men are smoking and chatting at the same time. They look very leisurely.
Chang Wen goes over and takes out a cigarette and gives each old man a cigarette.
All the other old men took Chang Wenfa's cigarette. Only one old man with white beard waved his hand and said, ”I'm used to dry tobacco, but I'm not used to foreign tobacco.”
”It's not foreign cigarettes, sir. It's made in China.”
The old man with white beard frowned and said, ”it's not imitation of foreign cigarettes. It's the same thing as foreign cigarettes.”
It seemed that the old man with white beard was very stubborn. Chang Wen had to smile and said, ”yes, the old Chinese tradition is dry tobacco. This kind of cigarette is really made in imitation of foreign countries.”
Chang Wen squatted down and asked, ”I heard that the village has been haunted recently. What's the matter?”
An old man asked, ”young man, where are you from? What are you doing in our village? ”
”I was hired by shigu to help him repair the machinery.”
”Oh, so you are hired by shigu. Ha ha... You have to be careful.”
”What do you want me to be careful of, old man?”
”Don't go out at night. Don't mind what's going on outside. Just sleep on your head.”
Chang Wen pretended to be scared and asked, ”old man, if this is really haunted, I dare not stay here.”
The old man with white beard said with disapproval: ”young man, there is an old Chinese saying: you are not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night. If you don't do immoral things, you can sleep safely. Even if you are haunted, you won't be touched. ”
Chang Wen asked suspiciously, ”old man, is it because some people in this village have done immoral things that the ghosts have come to make trouble?”
”Ha ha... This is about to ask the person who has done immoral things.”
Chang Wen then asked, ”old man, is the whole village haunted?”
The old man with white beard said, ”young man, if I tell you, don't tell shigu that our village is not haunted, but shigu's family is haunted.”
”Ah! This... This is amazing. I... I have to run for my life. ”
The old man with white beard laughed and said, ”young man, have you done something immoral?”
”I've never done anything immoral, and I've done a lot of good things.”
The old man with white beard knocked the pot on the tree and said, ”young man, since you are a good man, don't be afraid of ghosts.”
Just then, a little girl ran to the old man with white beard and said, ”grandfather, give me ten yuan. I want to buy ice sugar gourd.”
The old man with white beard sighed and said, ”little flower, grandfather has no money on him. Go to your mother and ask for it.”
”My mother won't give it. Let me ask my grandfather for it.”
The old man with white beard patted his pocket and said, ”Xiao Hua, you take out grandfather's pocket. If you have money, you take it all.”
The little girl put her hand into the old man's pocket and pulled out only a few pieces of papyrus.
”Grandfather, you are so poor that you don't have any money.”
