Chapter 99 Shop
"Shopkeeper, I heard that your shop is going to be pawned? What is the price?"

Hearing Xiao Jinyue's words, the old man was taken aback, "The girl is not buying cloth, but a shop?"

Xiao Jinyue said with a smile, "That's what I mean."

The old man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, obviously he heard this by accident.

Seeing the two girls still staring at him, the old man hesitated for a while before saying, "I wonder if you two girls have heard about my shop?"

Xiao Jinyue glanced at him unexpectedly, "You mean the haunting?"

The old man nodded, "Not bad."

"Slightly heard."

"The girl is not afraid?"

"I want to listen to what the shopkeeper said. Sometimes, what I hear may not be true, and what I see may not be true. Whether it is true or false, I will judge myself."

I don't know which sentence of Xiao Jinyue touched the old man's heart, his lips twitched for a while, and then suppressed his excitement, invited the two of them to sit aside, and told the whole thing.

It turned out that the old man was not the shopkeeper, but the owner of the shop.

The fabrics sold by Chenji Silk and Satin Shop have always been of good quality, fair prices, and a complete range of fabrics, so they are deeply loved by customers, and the business is not bad.

It's a pity that a year ago, his son went out to buy goods, but he didn't return after the expected time.

He wanted to go out to look for it, but he was worried about his elderly wife and frail grandson. Besides, although the shop had a shopkeeper and two assistants, he still needed to take care of him on a daily basis.

Just when the family was looking forward to seeing through, the shopkeeper from a nearby shop came back and said that he heard that his son had met bandits on the road, had been killed, and the goods had been taken away.

Hearing the bad news, Chen Dong's family was hit hard, and the old woman couldn't afford it anymore.

Chen Dong's family has only one son, and the daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson with dystocia and passed away, and now the white-haired man gave it to the black-haired man.

He was left alone to serve his sick wife and take care of his frail grandson.

Misfortunes never come singly, but at some point, there were some strange noises in his shop.

At first he thought it was a rat, but no matter whether he injected rat poison or used a rat cage, it didn't work.

He even raised a big cat, thinking that when the mouse was caught, it would be fine.

But I didn't expect that it didn't work at all, and those strange voices still sounded from time to time.

I don't know when, people around here said that his shop was haunted, and it was his son who died tragically who came back to look for them.

The customers who heard about it all ran away one by one, and no one came to buy the cloth, so the business in the store naturally became worse and worse.

Slowly, even the shopkeeper and the boy in the store couldn't hold on, so they resigned and left.

Chen Dong's family didn't believe in evil, but no matter what method he used, he couldn't find the strange voice.

Without a shopkeeper, the shop can only be run by Mr. Chen himself.

But he didn't believe that the store was haunted, let alone that the ghost of his tragically dead son came back to make trouble.

The reason is very simple, if it is his son's wronged soul, he will not bear to see that the shop is haunted so that there are not even a single customer, and even the frail children are frightened as cowardly as a mouse.

Originally, he wanted to keep the shop running, but the customers were scared away. After this year, his shop can be regarded as empty.

Seeing that his grandson was often frightened by those strange voices, he couldn't help thinking of selling the shop and taking his wife and grandson back to his hometown to live.

Unexpectedly, the sign of Dianmao had been hanging for nearly half a year, and those customers who came to buy the shop turned around and left as soon as they heard that his shop was haunted.

The price dropped again and again, from 8000 taels to 4000 taels, and they couldn't be sold.

On the contrary, the shopkeeper of the clothing store next to him came and wanted to buy his shop and all the cloth in the shop for 300 taels.

Mr. Chen's family put a lot of effort into this silk and satin shop, and sold the shop and all the cloth for as little as 300 taels.

He only thought about pawning and selling, and he could redeem the shop when the deadline came.

Because he always thought in his heart that his son just encountered some difficulties outside, and one day he would come back to the shop to look for them.

When the son comes back, the shop will be redeemed and bought back for the son to manage, so that the whole family can get together happily.

After listening to what Chen Dong's family said, Princess Minghua's eyes were already tearing up, and even Xiao Jinyue sighed that "creatures are tricking people."

"Jinyue, why don't we help..."Princess Minghua was kind-hearted. Hearing the tragic experience of Chen Dong's family, he wanted to tell Xiao Jinyue that it would be better to help Chen Dong's family buy his shop.

But before she could finish her words, a frightening voice, half crying and half laughing, suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Princess Minghua grabbed Xiao Jinyue's sleeve tightly in fright, and looked around the shop uneasily.

Even Bai Guo and Princess Minghua's personal maid leaned closer.

Xiao Jinyue reached out and patted Princess Minghua's arm, "Don't be afraid..."

However, before she could speak, a sharp cry of a child was suddenly heard in the backyard.

Before Xiao Jinyue and the others could react, Mr. Chen's complexion changed, and he called Brother An, and ran towards the backyard.

At the same time, an old woman's terrified cry came from the backyard.

Princess Minghua and the others became even more uneasy. Xiao Jinyue reached out and patted her arm, "Don't be afraid, the voice has disappeared."

Princess Minghua saw that she was calm all the time, comforting himself with a smile on her face, so she couldn't help but also calmed down.

Listening carefully, the erratic, strange sound of crying and laughing just now really disappeared.

The only thing I could hear was the crying of the old woman from the backyard.

"Let's go, follow me to the backyard to see what happened to the grandson of Mr. Chen's family."

Comforting Princess Minghua, Xiao Jinyue raised her feet and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing her leave, Princess Minghua didn't dare to stay, and immediately followed her quickly.

Seeing this, Bai Guo and the maid of the princess also hurriedly followed.

The strange voice just now was really scary, they didn't dare to stay, they had to follow the girl closely.

Just as Xiao Jinyue walked into the backyard, Mr. Chen rushed over eagerly.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue and his party, Chen Dong's family hurriedly said, "Girl, please go back first, my grandson fell from a tree and broke his leg. I don't have time to discuss the shop with you right now. I'm going to ask the doctor now." ..."

Xiao Jinyue didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted him with his hand, "I know medicine, take me to see it quickly."

Chen Dong's family was overjoyed when they heard that she knew medical skills, and there was no time to think about whether Xiao Jinyue really knew medical skills at Xiao Jinyue's age.

"Great, girl, come with me."

Chen Dong's family turned around and rushed inside, and Xiao Jinyue also walked over quickly.

The child fell from the tree, except for the legs, I don't know if he hurt his head.

Worried, Xiao Jinyue didn't have time to take care of Princess Minghua and the others behind her.

Princess Minghua heard that Xiao Jinyue knew medical skills, so she followed her into the backyard curiously.
