unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 177 Gossip
Xiao Lei was chilled to the bone.

His eyes were straight, his whole body was trembling, and there was a feeling of heat in his pants. It was because he had peed.

Among the ripples in the water tank, there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

A pair of eyes that were constantly cut and combined by the water waves, so small, so gloomy, just looking at him!
Water light, lamp shadows, and human figures are everywhere.

"Abin. It's Abin."

The two people were frightened by him, and the bolder ones slapped Xiao Lei on the face.

"You, you are not serious, hey, Lei Zi, Lei Zi! You are so scary!"

"that is!"

But the answer to them was that Xiao Lei fainted with a "bang".

Jilong Alley is always full of hustle and bustle at night.

Among these lively sounds, there is always crying, screaming, beating and scolding. Xiao Lei's voice is just a drop of water blended into the lake, without even a ripple.

The only thing that changed were the snitches who were close to him.

A Bin and Xiao Lei, will they be next?

No one knows, no one knows, and no one will pity their fears. People living in this world have too much time to take care of themselves. Who has time to pity a few mice in the garbage heap.

The fourth watch bell rang, Bianjing began to move, the city gate opened, the sky was slightly bright, while the Jilong Lane blew out the lights and began to sleep.

Xiao Lei's mind was like a blur. He sat on the threshold like a fool, not knowing how he could see such a pair of eyes.

Did he see it wrong?

Abin is missing, how could those eyes be his?

And those shadows, are there really these weird things in this world?

He was a thief after all. Even if a knife fell from the sky, he would still have to go out to work at night. If he had encountered something long ago, why would he wait until now?

He must have been in jail for too long and his mind was a little unclear.

Several people came in from outside wearing black clothes and black trousers. When they saw Xiao Lei, they quietly avoided him, as if he was some kind of ominous thing and the consequences would be disastrous if he was contaminated.

Xiao Lei remained motionless, just sitting like this, staring at the ground, not daring to look around.

The brother duo who had sandwiched him before also returned.

"Xiao Lei, why are you still here? You can rest for two days just after you come back, but don't lose your skills again."

"Yes."

Xiao Lei suddenly looked up at them: "You have seen it too, right?"

The two of them shook their heads together, and they felt that Xiaolei's expression was not right, and it looked a bit perceptive.

Just like a drowning person who urgently needs to catch the eyes of driftwood.

"Why don't you go to Xiangguo Temple and pray to a god or a Buddha or something? It might be useful."

"Yes."

"Xiangguo Temple?" Xiao Lei suddenly stood up, "Yes, go to Xiangguo Temple to pay homage. Go now."

He staggered outside and the fourth watch bell was still ringing, each time dispersing the fog in the darkness.

They were still a little far away from the Daxiangguo Temple. When he arrived, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and the Daxiangguo Temple was full of people inside and outside.

Oh, yes, today is Wan's trading day, and these people are here to occupy a good position.

If you arrive a little later, there will be no room to set up a stall.

Xiao Lei walked inside and saw that the first door was selling cats, dogs, insects, and birds. Early in the morning, grasshoppers, parrots, cats, and dogs were barking together.

I don't know if it was his imagination, but the moment after he stepped in, the place seemed to suddenly become quiet.

All the shouting stopped.

Several black cats had their hair furred and stared at him with green eyes. No, it should be said that they were looking behind him.

"Meow--"

Suddenly a sharp meow broke the calm, and a big white cat walked past him, wagging its tail and meowing while looking back at him.

After this meow, other cats and dogs also started meowing.

Su Mian picked up the big fat cat, placed it on the mat in front of him, and tied it with a red rope: "Xiao Lei?"

He didn't get up early, but he stayed up all night, with a circle of black and blue under his eyes.

This time we came here to see if we could see any traces of Zhen. As cargo, the big white cat would make squatting here less obtrusive.

Moreover, he was still wearing women's clothing. Last night's massacre made him realize that he still preferred to wear this outfit.

Sitting next to him was He Shen, who was yawning.

He Shen rubbed his eyes: "Old Miss Xiaomian, do you know him?"

Su Mian pinched him hard and winked at him: "We know each other, that Xiao Lei, why do you look so bad? Something happened to you from time to time."

They were planning to find time to meet Xiao Lei, but they didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

He Shen shuddered and was completely awake: "I see that your seal is black, it seems that something has happened to you, I am the disciple of that celestial, celestial master, how about I help you take a look?"

Xiao Lei squatted in front of the two of them. He didn't have time to think about the undercurrent between the two people: "I seem to have hit a ghost."

The surrounding vendors were bored, and immediately cheered and gathered around when they heard this.

Soon, the disappearance of Miss Xu and A Bin was widely known, and the news that Xiao Lei was followed by a ghost was also spread.

But now these are just casual conversations between people after dinner.

Bianjing is such a big city, with so many people, and people die every day. One or two missing people will not cause much trouble.

He Shen finally told Xiao Lei: "Don't go out at night - cover your eyes, no, if you don't look at it, it will be fine - this thing is not that powerful yet."

After hearing this, Xiao Lei felt that He Shen was a magic stick. He turned around and walked inside, deciding to ask Buddha for blessing.

Su Mian shook his head: "There is no way to save him."

It is difficult for thieves to change their ways. They would rather be beaten than go to the dock to carry big bags.

A bag only earns ten cents, and they can touch more than that.

He Shen himself was a big thief and had no choice but to change his ways. He was afraid that Su Mian would think of his past, so he quickly changed the subject: "How much will this cat cost?"

Su Mian sighed again: "For such a foodie, no one wants to pay for it."

The big white cat resisted very angrily.

The cat seller squatting next to them smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Some people just like this kind of white cat. I remember that Zhao Fang had one at home."

Su Mian chatted with him: "Zhao Fang, this prodigal son, didn't he sell all the tables, chairs and benches at home?"

"More than that," Boss Cat picked his teeth, "He only has a few things passed down from his ancestors. No matter what, he can't help being so defeated. He spent 500 taels to support an actor. I heard that the only thing missing now is the tiles."

Su Mian clicked his tongue twice, thinking that once his old man Su was finished, the same situation would probably happen to the many children of the Su family.

Boss Cat added: "But don't you think it's strange? His house is almost sold out, but there is one thing that he won't sell, no matter how much money he offers, he won't sell it."

He Qingqiu asked: "Wha, what is it?"

Boss Cat made a gesture with his hand: "A copper basin as big as the Dahaiwan is not worth much. I heard that some people have seen it secretly and it is all rusty."
