Boss Jiang glanced outside the door, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "In the past few days, you have to keep an eye on those bells."
I couldn't help but wonder: "Keep an eye on those bells.
Why are those bells used?
I see a person's name on each bell."
Boss Jiang said: "Those are the residents in the old alley.
Everyone who lives here must give part of their soul to the Jin family, and the Jin family attaches their soul to the copper bell."
I immediately frowned: "Give your soul to the Jin family."
In my opinion at that time, stealing people's souls was definitely not something that a righteous person would do.
Boss Jiang seemed to notice my concerns and said to me: "There is nothing we can do about it.
The people who live in this place have a constitution that is prone to evil spirits.
The family has sealed our souls in copper bells.
First of all, it’s because when we bump into customers, our three souls and seven souls are very excited.
Easily damaged, you guys always rely on the little residual soul left in the copper bell to help us repair the damaged soul.
Secondly, after our soul is attached to the copper bell, then.
A bell can be connected to our numerology, and if something happens to us, the bell will ring."
I scratched my temples: "The Hezhu family took the souls from you to protect you."
Boss Jiang smiled: "This is your family's business.
You are responsible for protecting us.
As for us, every time we make a deal, we will give the family a dividend.
In addition, it is not the family that takes advantage of us."
Take away the soul, but give it to us voluntarily.”
When Boss Jiang said this, a tall and thick man came out of the kitchen.
He walked back and forth several times like a gust of wind, placed ten bowls of noodles on the table, and then returned to the kitchen like a gust of wind.
"Try it."
Boss Jiang pushed a bowl of noodles in front of me.
I grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and tried to take a bite.
The numbness, freshness, saltiness, and taste are all very authentic.
The only drawback is that it is not spicy enough.
Boss Jiang asked me expectantly: "How is it?"
I said, "It tastes great, but it's just not spicy enough."
She smiled helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it.
We can't buy good sea pepper here, and we can't get that spicy taste no matter what we do."
I nodded: "Yes.
Hey, you haven't said yet, why should I keep an eye on those bells?
Maybe people in the alley often get into trouble and the bells ring often."
Boss Jiang: "No, if there are no accidents, we can only ring one or two bells a year.
I have considered that you have just taken over the business from the second master and you may encounter some troubles recently."
I couldn't help but frown: "You mean, Qi Ru will come and cause trouble?"
"That guy can't run away, he will definitely come to cause trouble," Boss Jiang leaned on the back of his chair, thinking, and said: "But he won't touch the neighbors in the alley, and he won't let the bell ring.
To be honest, "I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about other people."
I asked her: "Who are you worried about?"
Boss Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking: "Other people from the sect, I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I have met a lot of people in the sect.
I can see that you, the old man, are very good in the industry.
Interpersonal relationships are more complicated.
Some sects have a very good relationship with you, but there are also some sects that separate your family.

Treat it as an enemy.
In the past, they were afraid of causing trouble here due to Mr.
Qian's reputation, but once the thrift store changes hands, they might take some action.
You have to know that this old alley is very important to people in the industry.
It’s like a gold mine, and many sects want to get a piece of it.”
I ate most of the bowl of noodles in one go.
I thought it was not spicy enough, so I got a spoonful of chili powder from the spice box on the corner of the table and poured it into the bowl.
Boss Jiang: "You are really good at eating spicy food, but I heard from Qian Liyan that it is better for people who practice martial arts to eat something lighter."
I smiled and said, "I've been here in Bohai for more than a year.
To be honest, I rarely eat spicy food, but I also feel that if the noodles lack the spiciness, they wouldn't be noodles."
Boss Jiang: "Yes."
As she spoke, she looked outside the door again: "Look at the day, it seems like it's going to rain."
Since this morning, the sky has been very cloudy, but this has nothing to do with me.
I just eat my food, while Boss Jiang is looking out the door, lost in thought.
When I brought the last bowl of noodles to me, the sky was completely overcast.
The rain started suddenly without any prelude.
I ate the noodles and listened to the sound of rain outside the door.
Extraordinarily comfortable.
After I paid the bill, Boss Jiang brought an umbrella, a pen, and a notebook, and said to me: "While everyone is still open, you'd better go around the stores and check everyone's Write down all the names so that when the bell rings, you won’t know who’s family is in trouble.”
I pointed to the Sanyo stuff in Boss Jiang’s hand: “How much does it cost?”
Boss Jiang smiled: "No more money, I'll give you the notebook and pen, and return the umbrella to me next time you come for dinner.
By the way, my full name is Jiang Huiling, and I've written it down in the notebook for you."
I have to say that Boss Jiang is a person who is very good at dealing with people.
When you get along with her, you will not feel any distance at all and you can naturally talk to her.
After I came out of the noodle shop, I started walking from house to house.
Every time I entered a shop, I asked the shopkeeper's name and wrote them down one by one in my notebook.
Every store owner knew that I was from the Jin family, knew that I was the second master’s apprentice, and also knew that I had taken over the thrift store business from the second master.
Everyone showed great enthusiasm for it, and some were There are real feelings, and some are false feelings, but it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, you will have to deal with them often in the future.
Who is true and who is false can be gradually figured out in the future.
Almost all the stores were open, except for a stationery store in the middle of the alley.
When I came to the store, I heard someone talking in the house.
But when I knocked on the store door, the sounds inside stopped abruptly.
In addition, I also felt that the light in the crack of the door suddenly became much darker.
Apparently the person inside turned off the light.
I was just wondering when I heard someone next to me say: "The shopkeeper of this store is called Song Ziyi.
He is from there and will not open the door for you."
I turned around and saw that the person talking to me was Boss Yu from the scrap shop.
When I entered his shop just now, he kept calling me "big shopkeeper".
In addition, he kept saying "big shopkeeper".
He used a few uncommon old words, so that sometimes I couldn't fully understand what he said.
"Are you familiar with the owner of this store?"
I asked Boss Yu, pointing to the closed store door.
He shook his head: "He is such a person.
The neighbors in the alley don't want to see him, and I don't know him well."

After saying that, Boss Yu returned to the room.
I tilted my head, held the umbrella with the side of my face, opened the book again, and wrote a few words on it: "Stationery Store, Song Ziyi."
After walking around the alley, in addition to Song Ziyi's stationery store, there is also a shroud shop that is not open.
I heard from several nearby bosses that the owner of this shop is surnamed Wen, and he is a corpse collector.
He has been to Yunnan in the past two days. , I won’t be able to come back for a while.
I also heard from the owners of several nearby stores that there are three kanji stores in the old alley, and this shroud shop is one of them.
The other two kanji stores are Boss Yu’s junk shop and Boss Jiang’s small noodle shop.
The so-called store inspection means that they opened the store here to help the elderly couple watch the scene.
Jiang Huiling said that she was a half-skilled person, but she was not at all.
This guy was Heimiao's voodoo girl, and also practiced the Nanyang head-lowering technique.
I heard that her cultivation level was not high, but her methods were very powerful, and she was the most unlucky in the whole alley.
One of the two women I am easy to mess with, the other woman is my cousin Qian Yanan.
She and Jiang Huiling are best friends.
On the surface, Boss Yu is a rough guy, but the skills handed down from his ancestors are related to midwifery.
I also heard from Boss Wang at the entrance of the alley that Boss Yu specializes in delivering babies to ghosts.
I am curious, can ghosts still get pregnant and give birth?
Boss Wang couldn't say anything about this.
Originally, I planned to pay a return visit to Boss Yu and ask him what it was like to deliver a ghost child.
But after all, I wasn’t familiar with him.
When I arrived at the door of his store, I didn’t have the nerve to go in.
Seeing that the rain had stopped, I closed my umbrella and returned to Boss Jiang's noodle shop.
As soon as I entered the store, Boss Jiang leaned on the counter and smiled at me.
I put my umbrella on the counter and said, "You said you are a half-literate person, but what do others say?
You are from Miaojiang."
"Gu Master" Boss Jiang smiled: "I'm not a Gu master, I'm a Gu girl.
There's a difference between the two.
How about I walked around the alley and found out anything?"
I opened the notebook, quickly flipped through the names written on it, curled my lips and said, "I always feel as if each of you has a secret person living here, who is different from the people outside."
Boss Jiang showed a trace of curiosity: "What's different?"
I randomly found a chair and sat down, and said to Boss Jiang: "I can't really say, I just feel that the temperament of the people here is different from the people outside.
How can I put it, I feel that the people living in the alleys are...
A bit weak.
You and Boss Yu are the exception."
Boss Jiang smiled: "Have you seen Yu Wenhuan and Wen Haoming?
Have you seen that guy?"
"He went to Yunnan, and it is said that it will take a while before he can come back."
Boss Jiang stretched out her hand and gently wiped the umbrella.
The umbrella was still wet at first, but she just wiped it gently, and the water on it evaporated instantly.
She stood her umbrella in the corner and said to me: "Their souls are incomplete.
On the surface, they are really weak."
I said: "But they just look a little weak, but no matter what they do, they look lively and energetic.
If you don't look at the front and only look at the back and movements, you will feel that these people have taken stimulants."
Boss Jiang smiled: "That's because of the keel."
"keel" Boss Jiang: "Well, in fact, in the early years, this place was a dragon burial pit.
I also heard from the second master that as early as the Tang Dynasty, a three-legged dragon fell from the sky and landed in this place.

It remains here today.
There is a kilometer long keel buried under the old alley
