Chapter 26 The Ghost Hands Catch the Money
After I prayed for a while, I didn’t go home. It was now almost three o` clock in the morning, so I just opened the tattoo couch and lay on it.
The next day, I planned to advertise my Yin and Yang Tattoos through WeChat and the QQ group of old customer to check whether I could find customers that could trust me.
I overslept till the next midday since I felt so tired these days.
At noon, someone was knocking on the door.
Ponponpon, ponponpon.
I took out the phone and checked the time with squinting eyes…it was 12:10 PM.
Then, I responded and shouted subconsciously: “Who’s that?”
“It’s me, Brother Niu.” It was Niu Xiao’er outside.
I felt a little strange. He would have called me if he needed me, so why would he come knocking on the door now?
I checked my phone. Oh my god, seven missed calls, all from Niu Xiao’er.
Why didn’t I pick up the phone when it rang so many times?
Then I remembered. It seemed I had a nightmare, where someone was going to skin me alive.
But I never had the nightmare before, since I always had a good sleep.
Maybe…maybe?
It made me think of the Yin and Yang Tattoo.
Before my master died, he had told me I would provoke something terrible if I earned money through Yin and Yang Tattoos.
I didn’t care about it at all, but maybe now…that thing has already disturbed me? It also caused me not to be woken up by the seven calls?
“Damn. Forget it.”I shook my head and got up. I went to the door and opened it.
As soon as I opened the door, Niu Xiao’er burst in.
The moment he saw me, he got so excited…he hugged me and said: “Shui, you really gave me a great help this time…I have always had bad luck, but damn, since I got those two fish tattoos yesterday, I was just unstoppable. Do you know how much I earned in one night when I took ten thousand Yuan there?”
“How much?” I asked him.
Niu Xiao’er took out his left and right forefingers and crossed them together, he said proudly: “One hundred thousand. I earned one hundred thousand Yuan in one evening. I have never won so much since I started gambling.”
Hearing what he said, I felt relieved. The Yin and Yang fish really worked.
Since the Yin and Yang fish worked, I didn’t worry about Mr. Zhang coming to me for trouble if he lost money.
Then I laughed: “Very good, Brother Niu. I suggest you stop gambling now…Just go and use this money to open a shop. Pave the road and live a quiet life for your good future.”
“Pave the road? Damn it. I now know that this Yin and Yang fish is so effective, I earn so quickly and happily, it’s much better than anything else that I’ve done.” Then he stuck out two fingers and said: “I can feel tonight I will win two million. I had ten thousand Yuan last night, which became ten times the amount today, and I want to change this one hundred thousand into two million. It might be so if I try my best.”
Damn, what wishful thinking by Niu Xiao’er.
I had nothing to say. A person like Niu Xiao’er with this addiction would want to gamble whether he won or lost. He would surely die from this one day.
“Come on, Shui, I just came to bring you this good news…I will come back tomorrow to talk about this…Your tattoo really works.” Then Niu Xiao’er put one cup of milk tea on my table: Come on, come on, this is milk tea especially for you, as a sign of my appreciation.”
Then he turned back and went away.
Watching him going away, I just wanted to say “damn!”
Damn! I just gave him the Yin and Yang Tattoo and asked for no money;now he turned the money from ten thousand Yuan to one hundred thousand Yuan, which meant he should give me some as appreciation. I didn’t just want to get the money, but in order to show his compliments, I would feel happy even if he gave me one or two thousand Yuan.
But the result was…you gave me a cup of tea with milk?
I felt a little painful.
But what was more painful…he came again at half past six in the evening.
I was doing a tattoo for a customer when he came.
Niu Xiao’er came with an angry face and spoke to me: “Shui, leave this tattoo. I came to you for some business.”
“What’s that? I am making the outline of the tattoo for my customer. There’s about a tenth left, let me finish it first.”
But Niu Xiao’er took the tattoo needle from my hand without any explanation, and kicked my guest: “Get out of here!”
I got very angry, it was not easy for me to do the tattoo for my customer, and Niu Xiao’er was destroying and smashing my business.
I said sorry to my customer.
