Chapter Fifteen Why Are You Poorer Than Me

I suddenly stood up from the coffin and jumped out. I tore off the shroud and threw it into the coffin. My desire to light it on fire became even stronger.

However, after thinking about the content of the letter left by my grandfather, I couldn't help but sigh again. After all, this shroud and the longevity lock were left to me by my mother. Even if there is anything weird, it will definitely not harm me.

Right?

After hesitating for a moment, I touched the longevity lock hanging around my neck, but in the end I didn't take it off.

It was already dark outside, and my stomach growled unsatisfactorily. I hadn't eaten anything seriously in the past two days. After a good sleep, I felt refreshed, but I was a little nervous because I was hungry.

At this time, I heard Tang Liu knocking on the door and calling me.

After opening the door, I found Tang Liu looking at me with a strange look in his eyes and looking into the room.

"Old cousin, are you okay?"

"Huh?" I looked at him doubtfully.

Tang Liu whispered: "Since the afternoon, I heard a lot of noise in your room, as if there were many people having a party, but I didn't dare to come and disturb you. It wasn't until there was no movement just now that I came and knocked on the door.

…”

I stared at Tang Liu with wide eyes, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. My scalp was so numb that it almost exploded.

"You...don't fucking scare me with your jokes!"

The corners of my mouth twitched and I said, "I slept all afternoon and just woke up...did you hear wrongly?"

After hearing what I said, the expression on Tang Liu's fat face became even more exciting. His face twitched and he reluctantly smiled: "Maybe I heard it wrong! The sound insulation effect of this apartment building is not very good.

The noise caused by the neighbors upstairs and downstairs... Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go, I’ll take you to a restaurant and take a look at my little shop!”

I was a little frightened by what Tang Liu just said. When I subconsciously touched the longevity lock around my neck, the fear in my heart was inexplicably relieved a lot.

This apartment building is a legacy left to me by my parents. To a certain extent, I am the owner here, right?

Even if something weird happens, it shouldn't hurt me, right?

When we left the apartment building and passed by the security booth, the old security guard Huang Uncle who was reading the newspaper glanced at us. I felt that his eyes seemed to pause for a moment on the sapphire longevity lock I wore around my neck, and his old face showed

With a gentle smile and gentle voice, he told me to go home before twelve o'clock at night and not spend the night outside. As for Tang Liu beside me, the old security guard looked very unwelcome and ignored him.

After walking out of Xiangyang Street, I had a meal at the night market on the next street, which cost more than 200 yuan!

Fatty Tang Liu looked like he hadn't had a full meal in a long time. He was as hungry as a ghost. After eating and drinking, he patted me on the shoulder and asked me to pay the bill.

"Old cousin, don't look at me like that. I can't even spare a hundred yuan now! Don't worry, my shop has started to become famous. When I make a lot of money in the future, I guarantee that you will be popular every time.

Drink something spicy..."

Regarding Tang Liu's painting, I just thought he was farting. After paying and settling the bill on my mobile phone, I showed him the balance information displayed on my phone with an expressionless face.

"Thirty-seven dollars and eighty-two cents?"

Tang Liu stared at the balance on my phone with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Old cousin, how come you are poorer than me? My cousin didn't leave you any living expenses or anything like that?"

Seeing that I had a dark face and said nothing, Tang Liu's fat face was wrinkled like a steamed bun, and he lamented in distress: "A penny is too much for a heroic man! It seems that my small shop must attract business as soon as possible to make money.

!”

I'm not too worried about running out of money. Grandpa's letter made it very clear that if you are short of money, take out some of the corpse oil wax and blood-black paint in the room and let Tang Liu help sell them. If it goes according to what Tang Liu said before

At that price, even if we only sell a little, it will be enough for us to spend for a long time.

Tang Liu's shop is three blocks away from Xiangyang Street. The fat man has always said that starting his own business will definitely make a lot of money, and he will definitely make his father better than his ancestors, and let the old people in the family and those who look down on him know how much potential he has.

The proud son.

And when I came to the door of the small shop he started, I suddenly felt that if the fat man wanted to make a fortune from this small shabby shop, it would be more reliable to hope to win a lottery ticket and become rich overnight.

The small shabby shop on the street corner is about ten square meters, with old doors and windows, giving people the feeling that there is air leakage everywhere and the house has four walls.

The door couplet is quite domineering, but the handwriting is crooked, like earthworms crawling around.

Ten fingers calculate life and death, Feng Shui points to wealth!

Hengpi: Don’t come in if you don’t have money!

With such a bad door couplet and the environment of this small shabby shop, it’s no wonder that business comes to the door!

There are two shelves and a counter in the store. On the shelves are some peach wood swords, peach wood nails, incense candles, paper money and other items. It is said that it is a fortune-telling and feng shui shop. It doesn't look like it! It is said to be an incense shop.

, and it feels a bit nondescript!

Tang Liu proudly introduced the items on the shelves, saying that they had been blessed by him personally and were excellent for keeping the house safe, warding off evil spirits and making people happy.

Just as Tang Liu was proudly introducing these 'babies' to me, a cat meowed suddenly from outside, causing Tang Liu and I to subconsciously turn our heads and look outside the store.

When I saw a black cat crawling on the doorpost outside the store, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
