Chapter 24 Thick Smoke

Yan Kui slowly organized everything, neatly putting away all the daily necessities, and filling the refrigerator to the brim.

I washed my hands, picked up the bread and milk, and started eating heartily.

I thought to myself that I should go and learn how to use a wood-fired stove from Aunt Song tomorrow, otherwise I might starve to death even if I had food.

After Yan Kui finished eating, she lay on the sofa and faintly smelled something burning. She got up and walked to the yard.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw thick smoke drifting from next door into the yard, making her eyes water.

Wei Yin piled up all the paper money in the middle of the courtyard and burned it fiercely, muttering, "Don't come looking for me, go find someone else, you female ghost, don't be so shameless."

"Next time you come, I'll ask a monk to come and take you away!"

Wei Yin didn't know if such a mage existed; he was just saying it casually.

He was trying to scare away the female ghost in his dream.

Yan Kui came out, coughed a few times, and seeing the smoke growing thicker, couldn't help but shout across the street:

"I know you're upset, and it's normal to burn paper money for your loved ones after something like this happened in your family, but could you please burn less? The whole yard is stinking from your burning paper money!"

Wei Yin suddenly heard a pleasant female voice, but he really didn't like listening to it.

He replied in a cold voice, "What does it have to do with me? The wind will blow whichever way it wants."

Yan Kui was speechless. She was speaking politely, but this person didn't appreciate it at all.

"But the air here is already polluted, there should be a limit to how much you burn paper money, right?"

"They burned it yesterday and they're burning it again today. Don't go too far!"

Wei Yin looked up at the thick white smoke rising from the sky and realized that he had indeed burned a bit too much. He was about to ask her to come over and avoid the smoke and dust.

Then they heard a knock on their front door.

Wei Yin quickly went to open the door, and Huang Maomao hurriedly said, "Brother Yin, is your house on fire? Why is there so much smoke?!"

"No".

"Burning paper money for the female ghost."

Huang Maomao asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you being haunted by a female ghost?"

Wei Yin nodded calmly.

Huang Maomao was incredibly curious: "How did she get entangled? When did she get entangled? What does the female ghost look like?"

Wei Yin, caught up in the question, replied, "I don't know, maybe after I came to the village."

Huang Maomao exclaimed in shock: "No! Could there be a female ghost in our village?!"

This discovery shocked Huang Maomao, who had received a science education.

"Brother Yin, what did this female ghost do to you?"

Wei Yin's face was grim; he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Huang Mao Mao blurted out, "It couldn't be... that it absorbed your yang energy, could it..."

Seeing that Wei Yin remained silent, Huang Maomao felt that he seemed to have discovered the truth.

"Holy crap, no way, Brother Yin!"

Annoyed by his nagging, Wei Yin said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Strictly speaking, it was he who did something to the female ghost.

He turned away awkwardly, then brought over two buckets of water: "Put this fire out."

After saying that, he poured the water in.

That would have been better; after pouring in a basin of water, the smoke got even worse.

Yan Kui was choked and ran outside to the yard, shouting at the neighbor, "You're really going to keep this up, aren't you?!"

Yan Kui grew angrier the more he thought about it, feeling that this person was deliberately going against him. He picked up a small stone from the roadside and threw it away in a fit of anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yin saw a small brick fly in from outside the courtyard and land right at his feet.

"Crazy woman".

With a hint of impatience in his magnetic voice and a displeased expression, Wei Yin asked Huang Maomao, "What does this woman want?"

Huang Maomao was terrified and quickly said, "I'll go mediate, Brother Yin, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

After saying that, he immediately ran outside.

Upon seeing Yan Kui standing outside the door, he said ingratiatingly, "Yan Kui, calm down. Brother Yin was just burning paper money. He was just pouring water on it to put it out, but there wasn't enough water, so the smoke got even bigger."

"I'm sorry if the smell bothered you."

Yan Kui had just received a favor from Huang Maomao, and seeing him say this, her anger subsided considerably: "Okay, I didn't hit anyone, did I?"

"No, no, just don't do such dangerous things next time, Brother Yin is a very nice person."

Yan Kui wasn't familiar with the Yin Ge he mentioned and didn't want to say much. Seeing that the smoke had really cleared up a lot, she said, "Okay, I was a little impulsive just now, sorry."

After saying that, he bowed to Huangmao Maoju, making Huangmao Maoju feel embarrassed.

Yan Kui went back inside and, seeing that the air had improved, opened the window to let in some fresh air.

Wei Yin stood in the yard, swept up the scraps of paper that had been thrown out, and waved to Huang Maomao, telling him to go back and rest.
