The moonlight suddenly injected flesh and blood into the evil ghost outlined by the lines, as if it was about to jump out of the book, Li Changan felt a chill in his heart, he turned the page, and on the text on the first page that had already faded the ink, the ink of two words reappeared."
Tongyu?"
Li Changan muttered, literally, that is, he can pass through the netherworld and communicate with gods and ghosts.But what does that mean?
Li Changan's mind was chaotic and he couldn't understand the current situation.He's not a guy who sits there and thinks about things.He stood up and walked to the door of the dilapidated house.The door seemed to have been untouched for a long time, and was covered in dust and cobwebs.Li Changan took a deep breath."
Sting."
The wooden door slowly pushed open with the sound of the door shaft rubbing.A bustling noise of the market suddenly flooded into my ears.Li Changan raised his head in astonishment.Compared to the dilapidated and miserable inside the house, outside the house is a different world.It is a long street of compacted loess, and there are some ancient Chinese buildings lining the streets.Although it was late at night and the Jade Rabbit was in the middle of the sky, white lanterns were hung on both sides of the long street, and the lights and moonlight were also bright.The long street is even more crowded, but the pedestrians are dressed in clothing, either wide clothes and sleeves, or sackcloth short dozens, and even the goods sold by street vendors are also hairpins, sugar gourds, etc., without the slightest trace of modern society.It's like diving headlong into a costume drama.There was a light fog on the street, and although the lights were still bright, the farther away it was a little fainter.Therefore, pedestrians seem to come from nothingness and enter the void anew.Li Changan walked through this flow of people in despair."
Selling sugar gourds!"
An old man carrying a straw pole shouted on the side of the street."
Today's newly picked mountain flowers."
The little girl in Suluo's skirt passed by Li Changan with a basket on her shoulder.There are all kinds of pedestrians dressed in ancient costumes with Li Changan, and a huge sense of absurdity fills his heart.What is this place?
Why am I here?...................................."
guests. ”A middle-aged man with a white cloth on his shoulders suddenly stopped him."
Do you want noodles?"
Li Changan came back to his senses, only to find that he had unknowingly come to a noodle stall.He was about to shake his head and refuse, he had just eaten dinner at the banquet of his grandfather's funeral, but the aroma of the tumbling in the pot was picked up by the night breeze, and a fragrance that he had never smelled before rushed into his nose, and the food in his stomach seemed to be digested all at once.Without paying attention, he sat down in the empty seat of the noodle stall."
Guest, you're here."
The shopkeeper shouted, and a bowl of steaming somen noodles was served in front of Li Changan.I don't know what material it was made of, it turned out to be black, and these chopped green onions were sprinkled on top, and when it was washed by the hot noodle soup, the heat mixed with the aroma hit people's faces.Li Changan took a deep breath of the aroma, and then felt the fragrance from his nose to his head, he quickly took the chopsticks, and couldn't wait to get off the chopsticks, but in a blink of an eye, did the boss recognize the RMB on his body?
Thinking of this, his eyebrows suddenly swelled with pain, and he rubbed his eyes closed for a long time.As soon as he recovered, he heard a hoarse voice from the next seat."
Shopkeeper, your noodle soup tastes light."
Li Changan followed the sound and looked over, and an old man with a rickety figure moved to the cauldron where the noodles were cooking with a noodle bowl."
Okay, the guests are waiting, I'll mention it."
Let's say, the noodle stall owner held his head with both hands, and with such a turn, his head was actually twisted off by himself, and then he groped for the noodle pot with his hands, and threw his head into the boiling noodle soup.Li Changan was so frightened that he screamed.When he looked closely, he realized that the flame under the noodle pot was not red but green, and what was burning in it was not wood, but human bones.In such a terrifying scene, Li Changan didn't find the slightest surprise on the diners around him.He chuckled and looked out into the street."
Your flowers."
With a smile, the little girl in the Suro skirt took out a dead man's hand from the basket and handed it to a pair of pale men and women."
Sugar gourd, take it."
The old man took off a bamboo stick, and instead of sugar balls, red eyes were inserted on it.He crouched down and handed the string of eyeballs to a child with pigtails.The boy took the string of eyeballs, and opened his mouth wide, and the mouth opened wider and wider, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be about to crack to the base of his ear, and even one of his own eyeballs was squeezed out, but he caught the eyeballs without care, and stuffed them into his mouth with the string of eyeballs."
Click."
Juice splashes.Li Changan shuddered and didn't dare to look at it again.Looking back, where is the face in front of me?
The black noodles were clearly a clump of hair soaked in water, and the green onions on them were maggots that had been chopped with knives.Where is this night market, it is clearly a ghost market!
…………………………………… Li Changan twisted his thigh vigorously, and calmed some of the fear in his heart with the pain.He carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and when he arrived at the location of the noodle stall, the white lanterns along the street were gradually becoming scarce, and the pedestrians, or ghosts, on the road were also in twos and threes.It should be almost the end of the ghost market.Li Changan glanced at the direction of the noodle pot again, the old man stood in place with a noodle bowl in his hand, and the headless boss was stirring into the pot with a long-handled spoon, boiling the human head soup cooked by his own head.The aroma of the soup rushed into his nose again, and Li Changan couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.He gently put down his chopsticks and quietly left the noodle stall.I didn't look at the dead faces on the side of the road, and walked forward quickly."
Guest, you haven't given the face money yet."
Suddenly, the voice of the stall owner sounded faintly behind him.In an instant, the street suddenly quieted down, and the ghosts who were originally doing their own things stopped what they were doing, looked at Li Changan in unison, and slowly surrounded them.The road ahead was blocked.Li Changan's cold sweat came out all at once, and he slowly turned his head.The owner of the noodle shop was standing behind him, his head clipped to his waist with one hand, and his skull was covered in water stains and steaming."
Guest."
The head opened its mouth and said, "You can't be without money!"
”Li Changan swallowed his saliva vigorously, and after a series of shocks, the fear in his heart subsided a lot."
That doesn't matter."
The head said with a smile, and as he spoke, he pushed his head back to his neck, and wiped the soup on his face with a rag, perhaps it was overcooked, and where the rag had been wiped, all the skin and flesh were open, revealing the white bones."
Guests can pay for it with other things.""
Offset?"
Li Changan whispered, this situation and this scene, this word seems to have an inexplicable chill."
That's right!"
The noodle stall owner said quietly, "Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, can you get anywhere?"
”After speaking, the ghosts approached.
