Incense money from flower and bird shop

33,

On Sunday morning, it finally cleared up after the snow, and the backyard was covered with snow and there was no place to set foot. Ming Yan couldn't see it, so he simply dragged Xiao Congshuo to shovel the snow.

It is said to be shoveling snow, but it is actually a snowball fight. Two big men started bickering without shoveling twice, which eventually turned into a "domestic violence".

Zhu Li was extremely puzzled and asked: "What are they doing?"

Dabai nestled behind the door, silently averted his eyes, and answered without surprise: "Flirting."

Obviously, Zhu Li is still as pure as a piece of white paper: "Who is love and who is beauty?"

Dabai raised his chin, and replied with a little irony: "The two in the snow, one is affectionate, and the other is pretty."

"Huh?" Zhu Li became more and more puzzled.

At this moment, the cell phone rang in the snow, Ming Yan connected and chatted for a while, and then said to Xiao Congshuo: "We have business to do."

Xiao Congshuo had already guessed what it was, and responded casually: "Another case has come to you?"

Ming Yan nodded: "This time, it was introduced by an old employer, saying that something strange happened to my son, and I hope we can go and take a look."

An hour later, the two had found the door according to the address.

This is a private fragrance room with elegant and warm decoration, perhaps because the snowstorm has just passed and there are very few guests.

The shopkeeper who greeted them was a refined and gentle man in his early thirties.

Ming Yan looked at him, and found that the face of the person in front of him was so white that it was almost transparent, like white porcelain.It's not a good sign to be exhausted.

Xiao Congshuo also noticed the abnormality of the man, and roughly guessed that he was the client: "Are you Mr. Shen Xiaowen?"

"Yes." Shen Xiaowen looked at them and also guessed the origins of the two young men in front of him, "Which one is Ming Yan?"

Ming Yan shook hands with him, and then introduced Xiao Congshuo: "This is my assistant, Xiao Congshuo."

The three of them greeted each other and went straight to the point.Ming Yan asked: "Please tell me, what strange thing did you encounter?"

"I—" the man lowered his eyes, his brows gradually tightened, showing a worried expression, "I encountered a strange thing... It seems that someone is following me."

"This person only appeared when I looked in the mirror. I clearly saw the shadow, but when I looked back, I couldn't find him."

"She only appeared in the mirror, I almost thought I was hysterical, and even went to the hospital for an examination." Shen Xiaowen frowned uncomfortably, "However, the examination results showed that everything was normal and there was no disease."

Even the warm lights in the store could not hide his pale face, Ming Yan reminded: "However, what your complexion reveals is a sign that your blood is approaching."

Xiao Congshuo thought for a while and asked him, "Mr. Shen, have you come into contact with antiques recently?"

"No, I don't collect antiques." Shen Xiaowen said firmly.

Seeing his denial, Ming Yan asked again: "No offense intended, may I ask if you have attended a funeral or passed by a cemetery recently?"

Shen Xiaowen expressed that he understood what Ming Yan said, and his possible answer would be "never been".

Ming Yan pondered for a moment, then started from other aspects, trying to find some useful clues: "How long ago did you find out about being followed?"

"About two or three months ago, one day in late August, I passed out while mixing fragrances." Shen Xiaowen remembers very clearly, because on that day, he talked about a big order, but he needed to expedite the production.Unexpectedly, he fell asleep in the studio and didn't wake up until the next morning.

"Since then, there has been a woman behind me, who only appears when I look in the mirror, and only I can see." Shen Xiaowen felt extremely confused about his situation, "I almost thought that I had a mental problem, I have also been to countless times for psychological counseling.”

"So, my friend suggested that I try other methods, such as—" Shen Xiaowen quickly glanced at Ming Yan and Xiao Congshuo, and uttered two heavy words, "Exorcism."

"Just now you said that when you fainted out of nowhere, you were mixing incense?" Ming Yan quickly grasped the point.

Xiao Congshuo understood it, and said, "Can you show us the formula of the perfume you made at that time?"

He has dealt with many weird incidents with Ming Yan, and his sensitivity to key points is getting higher and higher.

Shen Xiaowen was hesitating, and did not immediately agree to this request.Xiao Congshuo guessed that he had concerns, and quickly explained: "We know this is a commercial secret, and we will never disclose it. Please rest assured, Mr. Shen."

Ming Yan looked at Shen Xiaowen quietly, neither echoing Xiao Congshuo nor persuading him.

In the end, Shen Xiaowen chose to tell them the formula truthfully.If you really got sick because of a recipe, choosing to hand it over would certainly do more good than harm.

"This formula really can't be leaked." Ming Yan took the paper and examined it carefully, then suddenly chuckled, "I remember that Water Lily Fragrance is also considered unpopular."

"That's true." Sensing that Ming Yan understands fragrance, Shen Xiaowen chatted with him with great interest, "That client has a successful career, I think she would prefer elegant and neutral."

"So you use the fragrance of water lily to replace the popular fruity fragrance. It's really a smart way." Ming Yan used to be a god and was worshiped by thousands of people. After a long time, he naturally understood some ways of fragrance.

It's a pity that such a good time will never come back, and who would have expected that the gods will also decline?

In the end, it was Xiao Congshuo who brought the topic back and continued to talk about this strange incident: "I was thinking, how about Mr. Shen take a look in the mirror and bring out the 'woman' who was following him, and let us see what it is thing?"

Shen Xiaowen took the two of them to the dressing room, because only there was a full-length mirror in the whole fragrance room.

Xiao Congshuo and Ming Yan each stood aside, signaling Shen Xiaowen to stand in front of the mirror.

Shen Xiaowen looked in the full-length mirror, showing a hesitant and terrified expression, obviously, he was very frightened by a series of strange things.Of course, for any ordinary person, it is very lucky to see a figure in the mirror all the time and not be scared out of his wits.

Xiao Congshuo saw that he was still reluctant to stand in front of the mirror, so he could only do psychological counseling from the side: "Don't worry, with us here, we will definitely keep you safe."

"it is good."

Now that they have been invited to exorcise the evil spirits, there is no reason to continue to hesitate, Shen Xiaowen finally made up his mind, took a big step, and stood in front of the mirror.

The warm light fell on the bright mirror, and the reflected light was inexplicably strange. Xiao Congshuo and Ming Yan stood at different angles, silently observing every slight change in the mirror.

At first, Shen Xiaowen tried to escape like an ostrich, his eyes lingered on the toe of his shoes, he didn't dare to raise his eyes easily.

The feeling of being stared at suddenly came, even if he only dared to lower his eyes, he could clearly feel it.The sight cast from behind didn't last for a moment, concentrating on his body, making people's backs shudder.Shen Xiaowen couldn't bear it anymore, under the strong curiosity and fear, he finally chose to raise his eyes——

With black hair and a blue robe, a "woman" stood behind the door of the dressing room, only half of her face came in, looking at him from a distance.

"It's her!" Shen Xiaowen's heart almost missed a beat, his neck seemed to be stiff on his body, he didn't even have the courage to turn around, he could only point to the snow-white face in the mirror, and shouted in horror.

Ming Yan and Xiao Congshuo also captured a figure from the mirror, but the moment Shen Xiaowen exclaimed, the face that had entered the dressing room from behind the door suddenly retreated, and immediately disappeared without a trace.

The speed is as fast as a flash of lightning, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xiao Congshuo tried to push the door of the dressing room, and was immediately startled—in order to prevent accidents, Ming Yan specially locked the latch.In other words, the door cannot be opened from the outside at all.

However, he also saw the picture in the mirror just now. There was indeed a man with long hair poking half of his face in.Quietly, like a ghost.

Could it be that the scene reflected by the mirror is not the real world?Or were they blinded by hallucinations again?

Ming Yan walked to Xiao Congshuo's side calmly, and whispered in a low voice: "Did you feel anything?"

"No." Xiao Congshuo didn't notice the slightest bit of chill. This small dressing room can be said to be very clean.

But Ming Yan said: "I don't think that is a ghost."

When Xiao Congshuo heard his tone, he immediately understood, and asked in a low voice, "Have you already guessed the identity of the person in the mirror?"

"Same as Dabai, it's a little demon." While talking, Ming Yan frowned, looking very puzzled, "But this kind of little monster has no ability to hurt people, let alone absorb Shen Xiaowen's blood."

Xiao Congshuo believed that Ming Yan would not be mistaken, and there was something hidden about this matter.

"Mr. Shen, we have a presumptuous request." While speaking, Xiao Congshuo and Ming Yan looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant.

"Tonight, we want to go to your house to watch the night. I wonder if it's convenient?"

"No problem at all." At this time, Shen Xiaowen wished to get rid of the dirty things quickly, so that he could live a peaceful life for two days. "If there is anything else, I will cooperate, and the reward is easy to talk about."

Getting such an answer, Ming Yan couldn't be more satisfied, and hooked his lips with Xiao Congshuo.

Xiao Congshuo walked up immediately, and said with a smile, "If the matter is successful, besides the remuneration, we also need Mr. Shen to pay an extra stick of incense."

How much is a stick of incense?

Shen Xiaowen thought what kind of exorbitant price they were going to charge, but when he got such an answer, he couldn't help laughing: "It's easy to say."
