In our long-standing and historically rich land of China, many professions have their own rules and taboos. This is especially true for ancient and mysterious crafts.
For instance, when engag...
Yingchun's sister-in-law, who was settling the bill for the diners, was stunned when she heard this. In addition, she was just an ordinary person who could not see ghosts, so she did not react at all.
Instead, he became worried about Zhao Youliang, who was crossing the road: "Quantum, slow down, watch out for cars!"
Just as the blue shroud was about to be placed over Yingchun's head, Li Mao stepped in at the crucial moment.
First, he pushed Yingchun's sister-in-law away, then splashed an unknown liquid at the evil spirit.
"Oh my god, I'm going to fight you!"
The vengeful ghost screamed immediately after being splashed, and then vanished from the spot with a whoosh.
All of this happened so fast that the people eating and drinking around them didn't even notice.
Even those who noticed it only saw Li Mao suddenly push Yingchun's sister-in-law and then spill something out.
Unaware of the facts, the man joked, "Haha, Li Mao, you dared to push Yingchun, you've really made something of yourself!"
"Aren't you afraid some girl will chase you down the street with a knife?!"
Yingchun's sister-in-law, who had been pushed for no reason, was about to get angry, but when she saw Li Mao's thick "smoky makeup," she instantly understood a lot.
He quickly asked in a low voice, "Little Li, was there something dirty just now?"
Li Mao, still shaken, nodded repeatedly while constantly looking around, fearing that the evil spirit might come out and attack again.
"Yes, I was right behind you just now, trying to put a shroud over your head."
"But I chased it away with my virgin urine!"
Judging from Li Mao's expression and Zhao Youliang's words just now, Sister Yingchun knew this was no joke.
He quickly smeared some soot from the bottom of a pot that he carried with him onto his eyes and then looked around.
Just then, Zhao Youliang finally ran back, panting: "Sister, are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's all thanks to Li Mao!"
Zhao Youliang was relieved to hear that Yingchun's sister-in-law was alright, but another question arose in his mind.
"Li Mao, did you just use a boy's urine to scare away the ghost?"
"Didn't your son go back to your wife's parents' house with her?"
"Where did you get that boy's urine? Don't tell me it's your own, or there'll be a big problem!"
Li Mao was taken aback, then spat several times: "Quantum, don't talk nonsense!"
“My son is over three years old, how could I still be a virgin!”
"I lost my virginity when I was fifteen, okay...?"
Li Mao suddenly stopped talking at this point, after all, Sister Yingchun was right in front of him, and it would be impolite to talk about such vulgar things.
Li Mao is also a very polite person.
So he quickly changed the subject and said something that made Zhao Youliang want to crawl into a hole and disappear.
"That urine was yours! When you were dizzy this afternoon, you were vaguely calling out that you needed to pee, so I used a chamber pot to catch it for you."
"Everyone says that a child's urine can ward off evil spirits, so I secretly saved some in a small bottle... Wow, it really works!"
"Oh, by the way, have you been having some heat rash lately? Your pee is really yellow!"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
At this moment, Zhao's silence was truly a wake-up call.
The silence was filled with accusations against fate and despair for the future.
Yeah, I'm destined to be a virgin for the rest of my life... Holy crap!
Besides, Li Mao, is it really okay for you to say something so embarrassing in front of Sister Yingchun?
Don't I have any pride?!
A virgin in his twenties... If he's still a virgin at this age... He'd have to be called a silly boy!
Sure enough, when Sister Yingchun heard that Zhao Youliang was still a virgin, she was initially incredulous, then her pretty face flushed slightly and she covered her mouth to giggle.
In the end, he even forgot about the ghost story and, making an excuse to do something else, ran away to a distance and laughed heartily.
They laughed so hard they were doubled over, their laughter was like a surging tide.
The diners watched intently, not even noticing their saliva dripping into their wine glasses.
Yingchun's actions seemed to be giving Zhao Youliang as much face as possible, yet also seemed not to...
The night passed in Zhao Youliang's embarrassment and Yingchun's sister-in-law's occasional laughter, and before they knew it, it was almost midnight.
Only now did the oblivious Li begin to feel a chill of fear: "Quantum, will that vengeful ghost hold a grudge against me?"
"They won't come looking for me tonight to settle scores, will they?"
"If he wants to settle accounts, shouldn't he come to you first, since you're the one who peed?"
After a long silence, Zhao Youliang finally spoke with a tired expression: "Xiao Li, can we talk about something else?"
"You know you'll get beaten up if you keep rambling on like this?"
Li Mao knew, of course, that he had offended Zhao Youliang by revealing that he was a virgin, so he quickly smiled apologetically.
"Quantum, I was wrong, okay?"
"From now on, if people ask me where my son's urine came from, I'll say it was from him!"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Seeing Zhao's clenched fist, Li Mao realized that he had said the wrong thing again.
"Quantum, don't be impulsive. It wasn't my son who peed, it was my dad who peed, okay?"
"Can't I pee with my dad?!"
"Oh my god, you know I don't think before I speak, I really didn't mean it!"
Seeing that Li Mao was getting anxious, Zhao Youliang decided not to argue with him anymore.
If they continue to argue about it, their family's bloodline will be completely messed up, which could easily disrupt harmony.
"Li Mao, if you're afraid of being haunted by evil spirits, you can stay with me tonight."
"You've made it clear beforehand that you'll be sleeping on the floor; I don't want to share a bed with you."
Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's words, Li Mao quickly nodded in agreement.
They even said they'd rather sleep on the floor than in a doghouse!
As long as the big yellow dog doesn't object...
I packed up and went home, and nothing happened that night.
When Zhao Youliang opened his shop for business the next day, he was surprised to find that there were more female parents dropping off their children at school in the morning.
Thinking back to what Li Mao said yesterday... could it be that the new Chinese teacher at the school is really a handsome guy?
If he weren't incredibly handsome, he wouldn't be able to attract so many admirers.
Goodness, even the child's grandmother couldn't resist the temptation and came out!
Ignoring the still-sleeping Li Mao, Zhao Youliang, curious about just how handsome the new Chinese teacher could be, bought a steamed bun and headed towards the coffin shop.
To reiterate, Zhao Youliang is a very responsible man.
He genuinely wanted to learn as many skills as possible in a short period of time so that he could protect the people he wanted to protect.
"Uncle Liu, I'm here... Where is Uncle Liu?"
"Why is the shop open but no one here?"
Just as Zhao Youliang was looking around, he saw Old Liu walk in from outside the door with his hands behind his back.
"Quantum, you're here? Uncle just went out to visit an old friend."
"Oh, by the way, did you offend that vengeful ghost over there last night? It's been glaring at you for ages."
"Huh?" Upon hearing Old Liu's words, Zhao Youliang hurriedly looked across the street and indeed saw the ghost of the funeral shop owner.
He was staring intently at them, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Uncle Liu, he almost harmed Sister Yingchun last night. Can I go and take him away now?"
