Zhang Chu prepared a fishing rod, a fish hook without barbs, and with talismans and incantations, he pinched some fish bait, and then prepared a black altar, ready to rescue people.
All of these things were prepared in the ancient way, whether it was the fishing rod, the fish hook, the fish bait, or the black altar, all of them had their own rules.
For example, the fishing rod must be three feet and seven minutes (a little more than a meter) of mahogany, and some incantations need to be engraved on the cut rod.
Another example is the fishing line, which must be made from the ink line within the old ink pot.
After all these things are prepared, we will wait for the opening of the ghost set and go to the ghost set to save people.
Of course, the specific how to save, or to see the opportunity.
In the past two days, in order to be able to raise enough spirit to save people, Zhang Chu didn’t open the door to tell fortunes again, but directly lived in the villa of Night Diem and White Diem, and had a good relaxation for two days.
Two days later, it was the sixteenth day of the month, which was also the day that the ghost fair opened.
At noon that day, Zhang Chu let Bai Yan drive, himself, Night Yan, hot pot, together back to the small county.
Naturally, nothing happened during the day, near the evening, Zhang Chu took Night Diem, White Diem, hot pot, close to the Xiping Street neighborhood.
The three of them, one dog, casually bought a few kebabs and sugar gourds, and walked along the street while laughing, causing many passersby to look sideways.
In fact, in a small county like this, there were very few young people, and even fewer high-quality beauties like Night Diem and Bai Yan, which naturally attracted a lot of eyeballs.
After walking for a while, a four or five year old little girl suddenly appeared in front.
That little girl had two confused eyes, as if she had gotten lost, and she was far away, timidly looking at the three Zhang Chu people.
“Woof woof! A little child.”After discovering the little girl, Hot Pot immediately sounded out a reminder.
Zhang Chu’s three people, naturally, also saw the little girl, who looked very pretty, with big, cute eyes.
At this time, Bai Yan said, “Zhang Chu, do you think that this child is lost, or is she preparing to drag us to the Ghost Collection?”
Earlier, the old woman they had met had said that once the 369th day of the third month had arrived, those villagers who had once gone missing might run out and trick passersby into going to the Ghost Fair.
And once they went to the Ghost Set, they wouldn’t be able to come back.
Zhang Chu swept a glance at the little girl and instantly laughed, “In this kind of small county, I’m afraid that the matter of losing a child would only happen if you go back seven or eight years.”
Nowadays, in this era, having a child at home was just like having an ancestor, who would never leave the eyes of adults at all times.
Therefore, Zhang Chu decided that this child, must be the lure that was ready to pull a few of his own people to the Ghost Set.
Of course, Zhang Chu and the others were originally going to the Ghost Set.
At this time, Zhang Chu directly shouted, “Hey, kid, where is your adult?”
As soon as that little girl heard Zhang Chu greet her, she instantly shouted towards Zhang Chu’s several people with an aggrieved face, “Big brother, big sister, can you take me home? I can’t find my mom.”
Zhang Chu’s three people immediately walked towards the little girl.
Soon, the three people of Zhang Chu arrived in front of the little girl, all three of them possessed cultivation, and they all carefully observed the little girl, wanting to see if she was a human or a ghost.
As a result, in the three people’s senses, this girl, was a human being, not a ghost, and there was no ghostly aura on her half.
Of course, not being a ghost didn’t mean anything, nowadays, in this era, anything spooky could happen.
At this moment, Zhang Chu asked, “Where are your parents?”
The little girl pointed in the direction of Xiping Street, “My parents are on that street.”
Zhang Chu glanced at Xiping Street from afar before saying, “Don’t you know where your mom and dad are, you can just run over and find them yourself, why don’t you go yourself?”
The little girl was slightly stunned, she muttered in her heart, why doesn’t this person follow the rules?
Previously, when she had lied to others, as long as she told them that her mom was on that street, they were all immediately happy to escort her to that street without the slightest suspicion.
However, Zhang Chu had actually asked her to find it on her own, so where was this going to work.
Thus, this little girl said, “There are a few vicious big wolf dogs on that road, I’m afraid they’ll bite me.”
Next to her, the hot pot immediately bared its teeth towards the little girl, “Woof woof, little doll, believe it or not, Master Dog, I will eat you right now.”
The little girl heard the hot pot speak and immediately cried out in fear, “Wow ……”
Seeing this, Bai Yan hurriedly bent down and picked up the little girl.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, good boy, don’t cry, the hot pot is playing with you, it doesn’t bite.”
Bai Diem comforted the little girl.
Night Diem also said, “Hot Pot, you bad dog, what are you doing scaring the child for nothing.”
In fact, everyone knew that this child had come to trick a few of them into going over, and now, everyone was just slightly teasing the little girl.
At this time, Zhang Chu felt that it was almost time, so he said, “Alright don’t cry, let’s take you to your mom and dad, how about it?”
“Good!”The little girl said.
Thus, the several people of Zhang Chu followed the little girl’s guidance and walked in the direction of that Xiping Street.
After walking for five or six minutes, Zhang Chu and the others finally saw the direction of Xi Ping Street, where the lights were brightly lit and there were lively brown and chaotic sounds constantly coming from it.
These sounds, if you didn’t listen carefully, would feel like a lot of people strolling through a bustling bazaar, giving the impression of prosperity.
However, if you grabbed onto a certain vocal line and listened carefully to what they were saying, you would realize that almost everyone in there was spitting out unclear words, very vague and not human-like.
At this time, Zhang Chu said, ”Hmm? I remember, the front is an abandoned small village ah, when did it become so lively?”
The little girl’s face changed slightly, but then hurriedly lied:
“In the past few days, a group of circus troupes came from outside the country, they set up a night market on this street, at night, there are so many fun and delicious things to eat, they all gather here, it’s fun.”
Night Diem laughed: “So interesting ah, then we can take a good stroll.”
Bai Diem held the child, Zhang Chu, Night Diem, and Hot Pot followed, and walked towards that lively night market.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Chu and Bai Yan suddenly saw an old acquaintance, that old lady.
Only to see that old lady with a ball of cow dung in her mouth, looking thievishly at Zhang Chu and a few others, with surprise written all over her eyes.
When Zhang Chu took a look at this old lady, he was instantly happy.
Previously, this old lady had said that there were bold people in the village who would hold a ball of cow dung in their mouths and get close to the night market to see what was on offer at the night market.
Unexpectedly, this bold one was actually the old lady herself.
Thus, Zhang Chu revealed a smiling face to the old lady and waved his hand towards her, “Good evening, big mom!”
As soon as the old lady was greeted by Zhang Chu, she immediately shivered in fear, and with a forceful movement of her teeth, she directly bit the ball of cow dung in her mouth into two halves.
It was too scary ah, when holding a ball of cow dung in one’s mouth to peek and eavesdrop, the thing that one was most afraid of was being shouted at to break the line of concealment, so Zhang Chu’s throat directly scared the old lady to the point that she rolled her eyes in fear.
Oh no, it wasn’t that she rolled her eyes in fear.
It was because she was nervous and bit half of the cow dung ball, half of which went down the big mom’s throat, stuck in her throat, and made the big mom roll her eyes.
Zhang Chu saw the big mom rubbing her mouth to eat, and immediately felt that the merit was complete, and took the little girl, and walked towards the brightly lit ghost set.
