Chapter 247 Buying a Shop

The marriage was called off, and the documents for taking a concubine were also taken back. Having gotten rid of a worry, Ling Chu was in a good mood.

From now on, she can concentrate on making money and accumulating merits to prolong her life.

But it is not a good idea to set up a stall on the street every day. It is fine on sunny days, but when it is windy and rainy, she can't do anything.

Ling Chu plans to buy a shop.

After asking the broker, she was lucky enough to find that the owner of a tea shop was old and wanted to sell the tea shop and return to his hometown to spend his old age.

Ling Chu followed the broker to see it and was quite satisfied with the shop.

Although the shop is not located on Yujie, it is not far away. It is on Xidajie, which is three streets away.

Although the area of ​​the shop is not as large as those on Yujie, it has two floors, which is enough.

The location is not bad and the price is fair. Ling Chu bought the shop in a short time.

After completing the transfer procedures, he had to find a craftsman to decorate the inside of the shop.

Ling Chu's house had no one in charge, so she simply asked the guard to find a craftsman.

The guard smiled bitterly in his heart. He was originally Ning Chuyi's secret guard. Because he showed his face in front of people, he was sent by him to be a guard for Miss Ling.

That would be fine. I didn't expect that one day he would be sent by Miss Ling to run errands for her.

Although he complained a few words in his heart, the guard didn't dare to show it on his face. Thinking of the hammer that crippled the flower thief, he still felt a chill in his lower body.

Ling Chu didn't know the guard's complaints at all. She ordered the guard to find a craftsman. Seeing his respectful and enthusiastic attitude, she was quite satisfied.

While the shop was still under renovation, Ling Chu was busy drawing talismans these days.

Since you open a shop, you have to have something to sell.

The first floor of the shop mainly sells some talisman paper.

Ling Chu drew a lot of peace talismans, partial wealth talismans, wealth-promoting talismans, peach blossom talismans, career talismans, Wenchang talismans, pregnancy-protecting talismans, etc.

These talismans are sold to the living.

There are also some magic tools that have been blessed, but the number is not large. Her energy is limited, so she can only make more when she has time.

Of course, there are also some sold to the dead, but not many.

She is not in good health and has limited energy, so she will slowly add more in the future.

In addition to the private room where she rests on the second floor, Ling Chu also reserved a room mainly for receiving dead souls.

That's right, in addition to doing business with the living, she also does business with the dead.

In addition to saving money and using good medicine to support her life, she also has to help those puppet souls fulfill their wishes and use the merits exchanged to extend their life.

So the business of the dead is also indispensable.

The shop has been decorated and a lot of talismans have been prepared.

What makes Ling Chu headache is that she still lacks the shopkeeper and clerk.

The things sold in her shop are different from ordinary shops, and the customers are also special. After all, she also does business with puppet souls.

So the shopkeeper and clerk she needs to find must be brave and have a strong fate so that they will not be affected by those puppet souls.

Ling Chu was tired after a few days. After dinner, it was still early, so she simply sent the talisman paper to the shop and took a look to see if she was satisfied with the decoration.

She was free after registering her own household. She didn't have to worry about people being dissatisfied and looking for trouble with her when she went out at this time.

Seeing that she was going out, the two guards followed her.

One followed on horseback, and the other drove Ling Chu.

Arriving at the shop, she looked upstairs and downstairs and was quite satisfied.

Put the talisman paper she brought in the display cabinet on the first floor, and Ling Chu was ready to go back.

There was a curfew at night, and it was impossible to walk around and play outside at night like in modern times.

Just after leaving the shop, she saw a young man in his twenties leaning against the outer wall of her shop, holding a bun in his hand, looking at the puppet souls opposite with a bitter face.

"Hey, can you stop following me? All my food has been used by you. I don't remember how long it has been since I tasted the fragrance of food."

Opposite the young man stood seven or eight puppet souls.

The old puppet in gray shirt looked like a rogue, "Although your things have been used by us, they are still intact, and nothing is missing, but the taste is gone."

Another puppet in black shirt followed, "That's right, it doesn't matter if the taste is gone, it can still fill your stomach and you won't be hungry."

"Young man, you are the only one in the world who can see us. If we don't follow you, who else can we follow?"

"Anyway, you are alone, and you don't even have anyone to talk to. With us by your side, you won't be alone, how pitiful it is to be alone."

Listening to the chatter of these puppet souls, the young man was not happy, but more distressed.

Standing at the door, listening to their conversation, Ling Chu was surprised.

This man is just an ordinary person, but he has yin and yang eyes. Not only can he see the puppet souls, but he can also live in peace with them.

Seeing that this young man didn't seem to be affected by the puppet souls, his body was clean and not contaminated with their yin energy, which really surprised her.

Ling Chu couldn't help but walk over.

Hearing the footsteps, the young man turned his head and looked over.

Seeing that it was a girl, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and seemed to be about to get up and leave.

Ling Chu stood in front of him and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of them?"

The young man was stunned. Seeing Ling Chu looking at the puppet souls, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Girl... Girl, can you... can you see, see them?

Perhaps he was too surprised, the young man stuttered when he spoke.

Without waiting for Ling Chu to speak, he waved his hand at her again, "Girl, leave quickly, don't be contaminated by their breath, it's not good for your health. "

He said to the puppet souls again, "The little girl is weak, unlike me who is strong and not afraid of you. Don't follow her."

The puppet souls didn't expect Ling Chu to see them, and they were looking at her curiously.

But they didn't dare to come over, not because of what the young man said.

But they seemed to be vaguely afraid of the girl in front of them.

The young man seemed quite kind.

Ling Chu couldn't help but look at him a few more times, "They have been following you, what do they want to do?"

The young man was surprised to see her so calm, but he still said honestly, "They don't want to do anything, just because I can see them, so they always like to talk to me."

"Aren't you afraid of the puppet souls?"

The young man shook his head, "No, I can see their existence since I was a child," but these puppet souls always like to talk to him, making him restless.

And they always enjoy his things, making him tasteless.

"You are from another place, right? Are you here to visit relatives or find a job?"

The young man said with his head down, "I have no one at home, so I plan to come to the capital to try my luck. I also thought that there is a lot of righteousness at the foot of the imperial city, and they dare not follow me anymore."

He was annoyed by these puppet souls, and it was too uncomfortable to eat without being able to taste the food.

Originally, he thought that the puppet souls would be afraid of the emperor in the imperial city, and if they all left, he would be able to eat normally in the future.

Who knew that when he arrived in the capital, the puppet souls were not affected at all and still followed him.
