Update 1231: Past Events in the Flower Shop (Update 56)
"I say!" The woman screamed, but Zhao Tiezhu's hand had already been released. The woman closed her eyes. At this moment, she fully felt the gravity.
Am I going to die?
This thought suddenly popped up in the woman's mind, and then she thought painfully, "Sister has lived for nearly 30 years, and has never held hands, kissed, or slept with any man. This life, sister has lived in vain. Well, it's better to die. Maybe after falling down, she will travel back to ancient times and become a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and meet a tyrant who is willing to play with the princes for me."
Just as the woman was waiting for death to come, suddenly, a strong hand suddenly grabbed the woman's falling body.
Zhao Tiezhu easily grabbed the woman's ankle again, and then lifted her up.
Feeling the feeling of stepping on the ground with both feet, the woman felt that she liked this thick land more than ever before.
Mother Earth, I love you.
"Okay, I believe you definitely don't want to play again, right?" Zhao Tiezhu asked with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah!" The woman nodded decisively.
"Then can you tell me, did you pretend to be a ghost to scare my woman?" Zhao Tiezhu asked softly.
"Yes, yes!" The woman nodded and said, "It was me, just now, and before that, it was all me!"
"Well, very good, the answer is very straightforward." Zhao Tiezhu smiled and nodded, saying, "Then tell me, why did you come to my woman's store to pretend to be a ghost? What is your purpose?"
"I... I don't have any purpose." The woman said helplessly, "My father asked me to do this!"
"Your father asked you to do it? Where is your father? Didn't you say why?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"No!" The woman shook her head and said, "My father died last year, and then I took over his mantle."
"Mantle? What mantle?"
"I don't know. Anyway, my family has an ancestral mission that has been passed down since my grandfather's generation, which is to come here from time to time to pretend to be a ghost and scare people. It's best to keep this house uninhabited all year round, and then wait for its real owner to come back." The woman told everything she knew. People who have not been close to death will never understand the fear of dying at any time!
Zhao Tiezhu understood at this time that there was a legend passed down by this woman's family. It seemed that the real owner of this house went abroad many years ago, and then asked their family to help look after the house and wait for him or his descendants to come back. As a result, this wait lasted for decades, and then the reform and opening up came. The landlords were all overthrown, and the house was taken away by the people's government and distributed to the working people. As the custodian of this house, naturally there was no way to go against the government, so they came up with such a way to scare away the owners of this house from generation to generation, and then it started from her grandfather's place. When her grandfather died, her father continued to play ghosts. When her father died, it was her turn to play ghosts, but before it was always a male ghost, but now it has changed to a female ghost.
"According to what you said, the owner of this house will come back again?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"I don't know either. Anyway, when my father died, he left a wish for me to inherit his will. He said that as long as the owner of this house comes back, our family will be able to regain its glory and bring honor to the family. I don't believe these, but the old man only has that one wish, so I have to fulfill it." The woman said.
"Then tell me, what's your name?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"My name is Xiao Mo." The woman rolled her eyes and said.
Zhao Tiezhu was too lazy to care that the woman didn't say her real name, so he said, "You mean, the owner of this house left China about a hundred years ago?"
"Yes! During the Republic of China!"
"And there has been no news since then. Now more than a hundred years have passed. Do you still expect him to come back?"
"Of course not. It's okay if his children come back. Anyway, when he left, he said that he would come back one day. I don't know anything else." Xiao Mo shrugged and said, "I've told you everything. Can you let me go? I promise not to harass you again!"
"If you let me go, I will let you go. Wouldn't I be embarrassed?" Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, "I can't guarantee that you will come to scare people again in the future."
"No, definitely not. Are you stupid? I can't even scare you. You guys, then why should I come to scare people again? That would be a waste of effort. "Xiao Mo said flatteringly, "This big brother, I heard from them that your name seems to be Tiezhu. Brother Tiezhu, look at me, I have no face and no figure. If you keep me like this, won't it affect your appearance? You have so many beauties in there. While they are empty-hearted now, you may be able to have 3p4p5678p after you go in. I have nothing to do here, so just treat me as a fart. "
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking!" Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile, "Don't you want to have sex with us?"
"I think you have to have me too." Xiao Mo said shyly, "As for me, I still have some self-knowledge. I can only spoil your mood here. Why bother, right?"
"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Tiezhu was really amused by what Xiao Mo said. Not only because this man was so eloquent, but more importantly, three generations of a family could stick to this place for more than a hundred years for a vague thing. It was really admirable to say it out. As for whether what Xiao Mo said was true, Zhao Tiezhu had been in the society for so long and still had his own judgment.
"Hehe, brother, if you let me go, I promise not to get closer than 50 meters to this flower shop in the future!" Xiao Mo said.
"Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go." Zhao Tiezhu said, untying the rope on Xiao Mo's hand, and then said, "Just this time, next time I see you pretending to be a ghost, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Okay." Xiao Mo said, just about to leave, but his body paused.
"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.
"I have to go in and apologize to the sisters." Xiao Mo said, and walked into the room next to him. Zhao Tiezhu looked at the woman in surprise and followed her in.
"Dear friends and comrades, I'm so sorry for dressing up as a ghost to scare you. I have realized my mistake and hope you can forgive me!" Xiao Mo bowed to the women with a serious face.
The three women were not bad people. Seeing that others apologized so righteously, they forgave Xiao Mo.
"Okay, you can go." Zhao Tiezhu waved his hand.
"Hey, brother, can I ask you a favor?" Xiao Mo said hesitantly.
