I'm just a courier boy

Chapter 44

Jiang Miaomiao played with the wig in her hand: "So this wig was left by that female guest?"

The homeowner yelled in disbelief: "How is it possible?! She's already dead!"

Jiang Miaomiao shrugged: "Who knows?"

The owner's expression changed again and again, and finally he managed to squeeze out an ugly smile: "Could it be that she's not dead yet?"

Jiang Miaomiao twirled the wig twice with her fingers: "... who knows?"

Xiao Shaoye on the side gasped, subconsciously looked around the bathroom, shivering while shivering.

Gemun'er's expression was not very good either. After all, knowing that someone died in this room and knowing that there is a ghost in this room are two different things... Although I can't see it, I feel a little nervous in my heart.

The homeowner also shivered suddenly: "No! No! This is impossible!"

Jiang Miaomiao didn't say anything, but calmly pulled out the sieve of the bathtub and let out all the water in the bathtub.

Following the sound of draining water, Xiao Shaoye gradually breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes widened suddenly at the next moment. When the water level in the bathtub dropped to the lowest point, a black-red liquid gushed up from the drain. , In a blink of an eye, a small half of the bathtub was filled.

The homeowner finally couldn't bear the shock, and yelled, turned around and ran to the living room. Xiao Shaoye's legs were shaking, but he still swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Jiang Miaomiao calmly: "This, what is this? Blood?"

As the black and red liquid pouring out took over the entire bathtub, Jiang Miaomiao watched helplessly as a mass of long hair appeared in the bathtub through the drain. No, it was not a head of long hair, but a long hair Haired female ghost...

The female ghost's skin was white and swollen, and her face was almost out of human shape. She seemed to be drowned. As she gradually emerged to the surface of the bathtub, her swollen face turned towards Jiang Miaomiao who was standing in front of the bathtub. Even those who were used to seeing big scenes with good psychological quality couldn't help but be surprised.

But other than him, no one else seemed to notice it, because no one yelled out... Maybe only Meng Chongli, this guy has always been so calm.

Jiang Miaomiao took a glance at Xiao Shaoye and Ge Menger from the corner of his eye, and made sure that the expressions of these two people were normal, and they should not have seen anything. He pressed the heartbeat that was frightened to beat a few beats earlier, smiled and said : "Maybe it's because the blood was not cleaned up before, I'll find a housekeeping company to do a thorough cleaning later."

Xiao Shaoye looked left and right, saw that the owner was not there, and asked tremblingly, "Are you really planning to buy this house?"

"Buy! Why not buy?" Jiang Miaomiao nodded, "Of course it would be better if the price of the house can be lowered."

Xiao Shaoye hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to persuade Jiang Miaomiao not to buy this haunted house, but thinking of Jiang Miaomiao's "identity", he hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.

When the few of them returned to the living room, the owner was sitting on the sofa and fiddling with his fingers uneasily, his expression was obviously extremely anxious. If not for the presence of several buyers, he might have wanted to run away. Seeing them coming out, he couldn't wait to say: "What, how? Have you considered it? Do you want to buy this house?"

Jiang Miaomiao smiled and asked, "Does that happen often in the bathroom just now?"

The homeowner hastily denied it: "No, no, no! Of course it's impossible! This has never happened before! Otherwise, the people who live in the homestay would have complained a long time ago!"

He finished speaking very quickly, but his expression hesitated again, and his eyes flickered a little.

Before Jiang Miaomiao said anything, Xiao Shaoye had already figured out something. As the eldest son of a rich family, he had seen too many people who talked about people and talked about people. The eyesight is still there: "You are lying."

The house owner clenched his hands, his fingers were twisted together, his face was pale: "No, no! Really not! I've already said it! I've been very frank! I really didn't lie!"

"Maybe you really didn't lie, but it's possible that you just selectively told us part of the truth," Jiang Miaomiao looked straight into the eyes of the owner, "What else are you hiding from us?"

The owner's eyes flickered with dodging eyes, and sweat was breaking out on his face. Seeing this, Jiang Miaomiao picked up the wig he had fished out of the bathtub before, and played with it in front of the owner.

Looking at the wig, the owner's eyes widened, and finally his psychological defense seemed to have completely collapsed, and he said in a trembling tone: "...A month ago, a guest who stayed at the hotel woke up in the middle of the night and found himself lying in the bathtub. In the bathtub, half of the water was already in the bathtub. He was so frightened that he complained to me. At that time, I thought he was extorting money, but for the sake of the reputation of this hotel, I chose to give him a sum of money in private. Don't even say it."

"But not long after, another guest complained to me about the same thing. He also woke up in the middle of the night and found himself in the bathtub for no reason, and almost drowned. I began to feel that something was wrong, so I tried to stay in this homestay by myself. Stayed for one night, nothing happened when I took a nap during the day, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself in the bathtub, surrounded by water..."

The corner of Xiao Shaoye's mouth twitched: "I didn't expect you to be quite courageous."

The homeowner's expression was uglier than crying: "I thought it was those guests who joined hands to blackmail after knowing that a murder happened here. In order to preserve the public voice of the homestay, I chose to compromise, but if this continues, I still have to Do you want to do business?"

Jiang Miaomiao rubbed her chin and realized that although there was a murder case in this homestay, which would make many people feel unlucky, it was only a psychological discomfort, and it would not cause the owner to have no business at all. There may be some young people who deliberately come here to explore in order to seek excitement, but if you know that you will really suffer any substantial harm, then the situation is completely different, just like the story of Ye Gonghaolong, when the real dragon comes to you How would you deal with it?

"So you chose to sell the house after you found out that you would actually appear in the bathtub full of water in the middle of the night?" Jiang Miaomiao smiled and said, "Then you are not solving the problem, but throwing the problem away." Give it to someone else."

The owner of the house turned pale and did not deny it.

Xiao Shaoye sneered: "If it's just a murder case, we can barely turn a blind eye, but if this house will cause substantial harm to the people who live in it, why do you think we will be so taken advantage of?" ?”

The homeowner defended weakly: "It's not a real harm, it's just that I will be a little frightened when I wake up in the middle of the night, and the guests who stayed before were not injured or died, and even I didn't really hurt myself. something happened..."

Jiang Miaomiao interrupted the owner: "Although the price you gave is very conscientious, you don't know that for many people, a house is their lifelong pursuit, and they even have to bear decades of mortgages for it." , if such ordinary people buy your house, they have to worry about it all the time when they grit their teeth and repay the mortgage, and because of the problem of the house, they can’t resell it again. You left as soon as you immigrated abroad, and you really made a good plan."

The owner's face turned pale and turned blue, turned blue and turned red, and finally he let out a long sigh and asked weakly, "Then what do you want?"

Jiang Miaomiao said with a serious face: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to solve the problem yourself, I will solve it. I am willing to buy this house, but I have to ask the master to do a thorough 'big cleaning' of this house... the money Shouldn't I come out?"

In other words, boss, could it be cheaper?

In the end, under Jiang Miaomiao's argument, he won the house at a price of 130 million. After deducting the "cleaning fee" of 15, this is undoubtedly a very cheap price, which is not bad in this kind of environment. At this price in this location, let alone a lantern, you can’t find it even with a searchlight.

Both the buyer and the seller are quite satisfied with this. Jiang Miaomiao is naturally satisfied with picking up such a big bargain, and the owner of the house is also relieved because he has completely thrown away a burden, even though he originally planned to immigrate abroad after selling the house. In short, emigrating abroad does not mean completely disappearing in this world, unless he emigrates out of the earth, now there is a choice to eliminate future troubles forever, even if he loses a little money, it is not unacceptable, just spend money to eliminate disasters, as for this Can the buyer really find the master to eliminate future troubles forever... Anyway, he has confessed that he has nothing to hide.

The matter was quickly decided. After signing the contract and completing all the procedures, Jiang Miaomiao can get the house book and move in.

After leaving Jiarong Xiaozhu, Jiang Miaomiao thanked Xiao Shaoye and Ge Menger. After all, without them, he would have no news channels at all, and it would be impossible for him to buy this house at such a low price.

"It's easy to say!" Xiao Shaoye patted Jiang Miaomiao's shoulder. He hesitated for a moment, but he still asked, "But... can you really ask the master to solve the thing in that room with 15? The price of a master's move is very high, of course, I'm not talking about the liars who came to our house before, but those real masters!"

Xiao Shaoye didn't believe in these things at all before, but since he witnessed it with his own eyes, he has no choice but to believe it. It is said that those true masters will not make a move easily, but once they make a move, they will ask for a huge reward, but this does not seem to be the desire of the masters, but a rule they have agreed to follow.

"...It seems that this kind of thing will damage the morality. Some ghosts wander in this world just for revenge. If you don't let him take revenge, you will damage your morality. Therefore, ordinary masters will not take it lightly unless you have a relationship with the master. What cause and effect is in the body, and small favors and small favors do not constitute cause and effect, so I can only ask for a lot of money..."

"And at the same time, I'm still warning those benefactors that you can't ask the master for everything, you have to pay a price, and you can get as much results as you can bear the price..."

Seeing Xiao Shaoye's sober appearance, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but think of Li Wuluan and others. Could it be that the "true masters" Xiao Shaoye mentioned were those cultivators?

No matter how you think about it, the master who exorcises ghosts and evil spirits and the cultivator who seeks Taoism and longevity cannot be the same group of people!At least he has never seen people in ancient costume TV dramas ask the master if he has the elixir of longevity after exorcising ghosts. He also does not believe that Xu Fu, who made alchemy for Qin Shihuang, can also exorcise ghosts, although that guy is also a liar... Could it be that What kind of cosplay is the group of cultivators playing?

But that's right, cultivators also need to eat properly, even if they can live without food, other aspects of clothing, housing and transportation will always need to be spent, and telling mortals that they can only exorcise ghosts is obviously better than that they can make alchemy Throw, after all, exorcising ghosts is only the need of some people, and cultivating immortality and longevity is different. If it really spreads, the threshold will be stepped on for you.

Jiang Miaomiao smiled and asked Xiao Shaoye: "Are you worried that I won't be able to hire a master for 15 yuan? Did you forget something?"

Xiao Shaoye blinked, and then realized: "You... Master, you plan to come by yourself?"

Jiang Miaomiao nodded: "The fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields. I'll try it first, and then find foreign aid if it doesn't work."

Xiao Shaoye only knew superficially about these things about exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, but he had never heard of Jiang Miaomiao's name in that circle, so he thought that Jiang Miaomiao was just a newcomer or a disciple of a master who was not yet famous, although he admired Jiang Miaomiao so much. In the past, but there was a little more worry from friends than before: "...what if this is more fierce than the previous one?"

Jiang Miaomiao thought for a while and said: "Then let's get double insurance. I just plan to go to the Bodhi Temple in the next two days, and I just go to pray for a talisman. Now you can rest assured?"

The name Bodhi Temple is quite impressive, and Xiao Shaoye's eyes lit up immediately: "Bodhi Temple? Take me with you! I just think I'm unlucky these days, I'm running into ghosts all day long, and I've always wanted to find a temple to worship, Get rid of bad luck, I heard that the master of Bodhi Temple seems to have some real skills!"

Jiang Miaomiao wanted to tell Xiao Shaoye that if you go this time, you might run into a ghost again... But he hesitated for a while, and still didn't say it out loud. After all, he didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, and the Bodhi Temple is a pure place for Buddhism.

In the end, the two made an appointment to go to the Bodhi Temple together. After bidding farewell to Xiao Shaoye and Ge Menger, Jiang Miaomiao turned to ask Meng Chongli, who was like a little follower, "Is the female ghost in that room a murderer?"

Meng Chongli glanced at Jiang Miaomiao, paused and asked, "What counts as evil?"

"Strong aggressive and lethal..."

Meng Chongli: "It's not fierce at all."

Jiang Miaomiao: "...do you use me as a reference?"

Meng Chongli thought for a few seconds: "It's not too fierce."

"That's good..." Jiang Miaomiao breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was very calm in front of the owner and Xiao Shaoye just now, it was just a game of fish and swords, "Do you like the house just now? We will see it later." Move in."

With an indifferent expression on Meng Chongli's face, he said flatly, "Whatever you want."

Seeing that Meng Chongli didn't mean to be unwilling to move, Jiang Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of furniture do you like? For example, the bed in the room? What kind of bed do you like?" He likes the decoration of the homestay very much, so there should be no It's a big change, but the previous second-hand furniture must be replaced, especially the close-fitting furniture such as the bed.

"Or do you prefer to hang up to sleep?" He smiled and teased, "I will buy you a wooden frame at that time, and you can turn back into a sword and hang up to sleep at night."

Meng Zhongli said calmly: "Bed? It doesn't matter, you can have whatever kind of bed you like."

"How can I install the bed you like? It's your room. Of course, you have to install a new bed according to your preferences."

Meng Chongli gave Jiang Miaomiao a strange look: "My room? Don't we sleep in the same room? Just like before."

Jiang Miaomiao choked instantly, like before?Can that be the same?Before Meng Chongli was a child, there was nothing wrong with an adult sharing a bed with a child, but now Meng Chongli has become an adult!There seems to be something wrong with two big men sleeping in the same bed, right?

"What's wrong?" Meng Chongli asked with a slight frown.

"...Nowhere is right!" Jiang Miaomiao realized that he accidentally said what was in his heart.

Meng Chongli thought for a while, then said lightly: "I can turn back into a sword."

Jiang Miaomiao: "...I don't even want to sleep with a sword in my arms at night!" What if I accidentally cut myself while sleepwalking at night?

Meng Chongli suggested with a serious face: "You can also turn back into a fish."

It would be even more strange to have a sword and a fish in the same bed!

Fish and swords are reproductively isolated!

No... how did the swordfish get here?

Jiang Miaomiao's mind was completely confused.
