It turned out that this store called "Mendingjiaoxing" was run by my master. But I carefully recalled my master's usual appearance and thought that he was not a business man.

But Senior Brother Zhuang was also saying to me: "Speaking of this, the expenses of Jihun Village have become increasingly large in recent years. If it weren't for the store of Uncle Chai, I wouldn't have imagined how Jihun Village could last until now."

I looked at the signboard of the door tripod, and then looked at Senior Brother Zhuang with admiration. I couldn't help but ask: "How much money can my master make in a year?"

This problem has been hidden in my mind for a long time. Liang Houzai's master said that my master is rich, and Master Chen also said that my master is rich. I also know that my master can all the money earned in all industries in Jihunzhuang, but my master also said that most of this money is spent on Jihunzhuang's daily expenses, and there is not much left every year.

So where did his money come from? How much money does he have?

But Senior Brother Zhuang didn't answer me directly, but just smiled at me and said, "You will know tomorrow night."

"Okay, stop chatting here," Uncle Ke urged: "Go to the town hall quickly. Everyone is here, just wait for us!"

After saying that, Uncle Ke ran all the way to the town hall. We didn't dare to neglect it anymore, so we followed Uncle Ke and walked in three steps.

Actually, I have never understood that I, Mr. Ke, is obviously a blind man, but why does he walk so neatly? He is quickly traveling between the main roads and paths of the ghost market, and he even knows where there is a pit on the ground.

The town gate hall is a three-story attic, which is much larger than my master's door tripod foot walk. There is also a very thick wooden shelf on the roof with a large bronze bell hanging on it.

Uncle Ke seemed to have settled the time early in the morning. When he led us past the entrance of the town gate, the bronze bell rang neither early nor late.

When----

In this sealed huge space, the wide bell sounds mixed with echoes, like countless big bells ringing at the same time, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Master Xia sat on a chair opposite the hall, with two chairs beside him, one left and one right. Master Zhao sat on the left, but the chair on the right was empty. That should be my master's position.

When Master Xia saw us coming in, he frowned at Uncle Ke: "Why have you been so long?"

Uncle Ke smiled and didn't say anything.

Afterwards, Master Xia looked at my master's position again, and frowned and said to himself: "Since Junior Brother Chai, are you here? Are you here?"

Master Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and said to me Master Xia, "Junior Brother Chai is guarding the gate outside, it seems that he can't take off his body." Then he stretched out his neck and shouted to the room next to him: "Ren Ya, Ren Ya!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl of my age jumped out and ran out. As soon as Mr. Zhao saw her, he couldn't stop smiling.

At that time, I was still thinking that this girl could not be my Master Zhao's granddaughter? She saw her put her hands on her waist and shouting to Master Zhao: "Blame old man, are you calling me?"

The old man is weird? I heard that Master Zhao called her "Ren Ya" just now. She should be the successor of the Ren generation. Didn't it mean that people from both Tun Meng and Yuxian are very abide by the rules? She actually dared to call Master Zhao "Ren Lao"!

Her actions made Lu Renshuang glar at once: "Renya, don't make a fuss!"

But Master Zhao didn't look angry at all, and waved his hand to Lu Renshuang and said, "Nothing is done, nothing is done." Then he said to the girl named Renya, "Renya, there is nothing you have to do here. Follow your Senior Sister Renshuang to go out for fun. You two should go too."

At this time, Master Xia spoke: "You can't leave if you have the truth! This year your master asked you to come. If you have something to ask you, you should stay."

As soon as I nodded to Master Xia, I heard Master Zhao say, "Let him go. Junior Brother Chai hasn't come anyway, so it's useless for him to stay here. It's better to go to the ghost market to see the world."

Master Xia looked at my master’s empty seat again, sighed helplessly, and then raised his head at me: “Go and don’t cause trouble.”

Just as Master Xia was talking, many people came out of the houses on both sides. They were all disciples of Jihunzhuang. Most of them had seen them, including seniors with the word "Zong" and senior brothers of the same generation as me. But I looked it carefully in the crowd, but I didn't see Senior Brother Bao and Senior Brother Shi.

I asked me quietly: "Senior Brother Bao and Senior Brother Shi have not come?"

Senior Brother Zhuang shook his head: "They went to Myanmar and will not participate in the ghost market this year."

When I heard Senior Brother Zhuang's words, I felt a little disappointed. I originally wanted to inquire about Liu Shangang from Senior Brother Bao and the others about Liu Shangang's situation.

When everyone arrived at the lobby, Master Zhao waved his hand to Lu Renshuang again: "Let's go quickly, you're nothing wrong here!"

Actually, I originally wanted to stay and see it, but I also understood Liang Houzai's personality. Now that there are so many strangers, he must be particularly disgusted.

In desperation, I had to follow my nephew Renshuang.

After leaving the hall, Renshuang didn't know where to go. She just said that Senior Brother Geng Youbo from the Tunmeng lineage opened a store in the east city and asked me if I wanted to go and have a look.

Only then did I realize that besides my master, there was such a senior brother who had not come to the gate hall.

Anyway, I had no idea when I came to Ghost Market for the first time, so I took Renshuang to Dong Market.

In Jiaoshi and Xishi, except for my master’s door tripod foot shop, all the stores are simple houses made of loess, with a roof made of reeds and grass. On the edge of the roof, you can clearly see scattered reed branches.

Even the store is not much different from the Xishijiao market. It’s just that the area of ​​the earthen house is larger and the roof has been simply repaired.

Dongshi is a neat stone house. The stones used for building walls are rough stones weighing hundreds of kilograms. Some of the stones are also inlaid with unknown minerals. Under the reflection of the lanterns, a faint reddish luster is reflected.

In Dongshi, each store is not big, but outside the door, there is no exception to a small yard.

After visiting the ghost market for a while, I always feel that the structure of the entire ghost market is not like a market, but an ancient village located deep in the cave. Those local simple houses are where ordinary villagers usually live. In the East City, there are probably some village chiefs and clan elders living in people of identity. For example, the gate tripod and the town gate hall were built here later. The styles of these two buildings are mixed with other buildings, which seem a bit out of place.

While thinking about these things, I was walking on the stone road in Dongshi by Renshuang. The stone bricks on the road were eroded by dripping water, and some of them had honeycomb-like holes. My feet were on it, but there was no rough feeling at all. The small holes were filled with water. When the soles of the shoes were rubbed on it, there was almost no friction.

Perhaps because I was not familiar with me, Renshuang didn't talk much along the way. Instead, the girl named Renya seemed to be particularly interested in Liang Houzai.

I heard her ask Liang Houzai: "Are you a sister or a brother? Why do I feel like you look like a woman and a man?"

Liang Houzai has been beautiful since childhood. He is thin and looks like a girl. When I first met him, I almost got his gender wrong.

Liang Houzai was unwilling to talk to strangers, but just replied in a depressing manner: "My man."

Renya looked surprised and said, "Ah? He is really a man. You are so beautiful, be my boyfriend!"

When I heard Renya say this, I also trembled in my heart, thinking why this child is so direct, just kidding!

I turned my head and looked at Liang Houzai, and saw that Liang Houzai had a red face and didn't say anything, so I hid behind me.

Liang Houzai was unwilling to talk to strangers because it was not because of being cold or shy. Especially when he saw a girl, this kind of shyness became even more obvious. I remember one time a girl in the class wrote him a small note, but I didn’t see the content of the note. Anyway, when he opened the note, his reaction was like now.

At this time, Xian'er crawled out of my shoulder, stared at Renya for a while, and then said to me with a smile: "This little girl has a future and has the style of my back then!"

I have to say that Renya and Xian'er are really a bit similar. Both of them have big eyes with a very spiritual charm, but Renya's eyes reveal a very stubborn and lively feeling, but Xian'er is a very difficult feeling to explain clearly. Sometimes I think she is also quite lively, but sometimes, I feel that Xian'er's eyes always have a bit of etiquette and a little bad intention.

I don’t know if Xian’er had a beautiful face during her lifetime, but during this period she was nourished by the soul-raising jade, and her appearance changed from a seven or eight-year-old girl to a graceful girl. I said that she was “tight and graceful” was not a compliment to her, but that she was like that. She was indeed very beautiful. She took out any of her facial features, which had a very difficult to imagine. When all the facial features were put together, it gave me a sense of elegance and enthusiasm.

Since Xian'er's appearance changed, I went to see the girls in my class again. The girls I thought were beautiful looked just like that.

I admit that I like to stare at Xian'er's face. Anyway, I just look at it, and there is no other meaning. Everyone has a love for beauty. But I also admit that I especially don't like listening to Xian'er's words. In recent times, every time she opens her mouth and speaks, she must have been unhappy.

Just as Xian'er was talking to me, Renya kept staring at my shoulder.
