This is a story about a human falling in love with a ghost at first sight.
It's also a story about a human operating a human world's small store in the underworld for a year, in excha...
Chapter 14
Luo Zhi was stunned.
Luo Yu said, "Didn't you say you wanted to keep Xiao Yuhua on my windowsill?"
Luo Zhi naturally remembered this incident. He asked, "Do you have a vase at home?"
Luo Yu shook his head: "No."
The only green plants in his house are the four pots in his room, and now three of them are dead. Xu Xiaoxia never touches these flowers.
Luo Zhi said, "Then you can't take it out."
Luo Yu went to the table, picked up the phone, and said, "Then I'll buy it now."
"Buy two." Luo Zhi said.
Luo Yu stared at the phone screen: "I can buy a large size."
"no."
Luo Yu paused as he was swiping the screen. He felt that Luo Zhi's reaction was a little abnormal. After all, she was just a vase.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why?"
Luo Zhi said, “They will fight.”
"ah?"
Luo Zhi nodded seriously and said, "They are now tied together. If they are loosened and squeezed together, the situation in your house will be worse than the ground in the vegetable market."
"..." Luo Yumomo put down his phone. This was a dangerous species, and he suddenly didn't want to raise it anymore.
Luo Zhi said, "It will be obedient. Are you sure you don't want to keep it?"
Luo Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he was shocked: "Little Yuhua will be obedient?!"
This is truly amazing! Not only does it look unique, but it's also incredibly obedient. If he were to perform this in the square, he'd probably be incarcerated for a few days, interrogated to find out what it is and whether it was developed to harm the Earth! Just wait for the execution!
Then he was finished, becoming a ghost like Luo Zhi, but Luo Zhi was the son of the Ghost King, and had the status of a young master, so he had nothing to worry about.
But he couldn't. He only had 25,000 yuan left in his wallet, and he couldn't take it with him after he died. The only people who could give him money for cremation were Luo Zeping and Xu Xiaoxia, but they didn't know that in the underworld, they would live a new life. Furthermore, he was mired in the grief of losing his beloved son, so he couldn't even think of giving him money for cremation!
"Hello."
Luo Yu was startled, and when he came to his senses, he heard Luo Zhi say, "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Yu picked up the phone again: "It's okay, I'll place the order right now."
After adding the two vases to the shopping cart, they were still three yuan short of the delivery fee. Luo Yu scrolled to the snack section and said, "Luo Zhi, have you ever tried spicy strips?"
This question was a bit strange to Luo Zhi. There was no spicy strips in the underworld, but he had eaten them when he was a human. They were the kind that cost two or three cents a bag.
But after so many years, it is estimated that those products have been discontinued long ago, and now they should all be new products. So he has never eaten them, so he said: "No, there is no such snack in the underworld."
Luo Yu smiled: "Then I'll buy you a few packs to try. They're delicious." After that, he placed the order, paid, and turned off his phone.
While waiting for the takeaway, Luo Yu opened the curtains. With a rustling sound, sunlight poured in at a speed that no one could avoid, covering the snow-white bed sheets with a golden glow.
Luo Yu lay in the sunlight with his eyes closed. The air conditioner in the room was running, and the alternating warm and cold feelings impacted his senses, making him shrink involuntarily.
Luo Zhi sat on the swivel chair and looked at the giant caterpillar that was wriggling on the bed. He felt that the caterpillar was not wriggling on the bed, but in his heart.
They were silent to each other, but their hearts were beating faster than usual.
After an unknown amount of time, the sun was blocked by clouds and the sunlight in the house gradually faded. Luo Yu jumped up and went to pull the curtains again, then looked at Luo Zhi who was leaning on the swivel chair.
Luo Zhi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the cell phone in his pocket finally vibrated, and Luo Yu walked out of the room.
The living room was empty. Luo Yu looked at the double-door shoe cabinet at the entrance. The shoes that Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Ze usually wore when going out were no longer there. They probably went shopping in the mall.
He opened the door, took the takeaway bag handed to him by the delivery guy, sat down on the sofa, and tore the bag open. A pungent smell of glue hit him in the face, making him frown.
After the smell dissipated a little in the air, Luo Yu took the two vases to the bathroom sink to rinse them, and finally filled the water levels of the two vases to 70% before walking into the room.
"It can make the little fish flower come out."
Luo Zhi was flipping through a book. Hearing this, he paused, closed the book, and looked towards Luo Yu.
Luo Yu met his gaze with a smile. He put the two vases on the table and looked at the book in his hand. It was a martial arts novel published in the 2000s.
Luo Yu couldn't help but tease, "Why, you've mastered the skills of the underworld and now you want to learn the skills of the human world?"
Luo Zhi put the book back on the table, ignored his joke, got up from the swivel chair and closed the door of the room. Then he opened his palm and a bouquet of flowers in the shape of small fish appeared in his hand.
Luo Yu looked at them expectantly. He said, "Luo Zhi, my parents are not at home now. Let them make some noise for a while."
Luo Zhi handed the little fish flower over and said, "They listen to you, come."
Luo Yu said, "You made them listen to me?"
Luo Zhi nodded, and immediately untied the spell that bound the little fish flowers, and put them into the vase in two batches, with seven branches in each vase.
After doing all this, he stepped back a few steps and stood still, with one hand behind his back, and in this position he couldn't even be seen out of the corner of his eye.
Luo Yu didn't notice his movements at all. He squatted down slightly, looked at the little fish and flowers on the table, and said, "Little fish and flowers, how do you feel about the human world? Are you adapting well?"
The little fish flowers seemed to be digesting his question. After a few seconds, their fish-shaped petals swayed, as if telling him that they were very happy.
Luo Yu turned around and asked Luo Zhi, "Does this expression mean they are very happy?"
Luo Zhi still had one hand behind his back. He said, "Well, except for not being able to talk, they can do a lot of things. Just tell them to and try."
Luo Yu didn't dare to come here casually. What if the little fish and flowers accidentally heard it wrong and demolished his house? Then Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping would come back and demolish his house as well.
After thinking about it, he decided it would be better to ask first, just to be sure. He said, "For example?"
"For example," Luo Zhi said, "you can ask them to dance, mop the floor, rub your back, or..." He paused, as if considering whether to say it out loud.
Luo Yu: "What else can I do?"
Luo Zhi coughed and said, "I can also help you change your clothes."
Luo Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly accepted it and said more exaggeratedly: "In that case, if I get hurt one day, can you still help me take a bath?"
Luo Zhi fell silent.
However, during their conversation, the little fish flowers that could understand what they said did not make any sound from beginning to end, and they were just like ordinary bouquets of flowers in the vase for people to admire.
"It's just a joke," Luo Yu said with a grin, and then placed the two vases on the windowsill.
Luo Zhi picked up the martial arts novel again, sat back in the swivel chair and continued to read it, while paying attention to what Luo Yu said.
"Luo Zhi." Luo Yu suddenly shouted.
"Um?"
Luo Yu's eyes were still on the little fish flower. He said, "Do we need to change the water while we're gone? It should be okay if my mom gets caught, right?"
Luo Zhi said, "It's okay, just let them stay in the vase."
Luo Yu hummed, and went out to bring in a few bags of spicy strips from the living room: "There are several kinds, try them all."
Luo Yu brought in the torn takeout bag he'd torn to shreds. Inside were over a dozen packets of spicy snacks, all priced at 0.88 each. He casually took out a packet of "Find My Sister" and handed it to Luo Zhi. "Here, eat."
Luo Zhi took it and looked at the small strips of spicy strips inside. He frowned at first, tore open the package, and then slowly ate them one by one.
Luo Yu couldn't help laughing at his hesitant look. "Hahahaha... Luo Zhi, just eat it without worry, it'll be fine. Also, these small packages of spicy strips usually sell the best in the convenience store. When the convenience store is built, I'll have to buy more of these spicy strips."
Luo Zhi had already eaten half a pack. He nodded as he ate: "Well, as long as it's something from the human world, it's fine."
"Then I'll buy all the things from the supermarket and let the ghosts see something new." Luo Yu said while sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting his chin.
At this moment, he suddenly leaned forward and asked seriously, "Luo Zhi, how did you determine that our entire family would be killed?"
Luo Zhi put the spicy strips back on the table, looked him in the eye, and said, "Inside the ghost house, there is a room of life and death. The four walls of the room are printed with a list of the new guests who will be arriving soon. Next to the list will be written the reason for your death."
Although the cause of death is indicated in the Death and Death Chamber, it is only a simple indication. For example, if a person died of illness, then "died of illness" will be noted next to his name. If a person was murdered, then "murdered" will be noted. There is no way to find out the details.
However, the underworld does not need to know. After all, the human world and the underworld are two different worlds that do not interfere with each other. The only connection is the reincarnation of humans and ghosts. You burn money and I take money.
Luo Yu said: "Then do you know what happened to our family?"
Luo Zhi looked away, his eyes gloomy and dull, as if he was blaming himself. He said, "I don't know. I can't see it."
Luo Yu said, "What about the Ghost King?"
Luo Zhi shook his head: "I can't see anything, I just know that he was murdered."
Luo Yu looked at him and felt a little strange. He was the one who should be afraid and worried, but why did Luo Zhi look more worried than him?
He couldn't help but ask, "Luo Zhi, why do you look so unhappy?" He laughed, "Shouldn't I be the one who's afraid? Are our roles reversed?"
Luo Zhi glanced at him and said, "Don't be afraid. The Ghost King never fails to fulfill his promise."
Luo Yu nodded: "Well, I believe you."
Luo Zhi was stunned. He asked, "Why do you believe me?"
Luo Yu shook his legs and said, "I just trust you, there's no reason. If you insist on me giving you an explanation, it's just my intuition."
Luo Yu always trusted his sixth sense, no matter what. After entering the underworld, he was indeed frightened when he saw the Ghost King. But after seeing Luo Zhi, his fear was inexplicably dissipated little by little, as if the ghost was releasing some kind of soothing energy to him.
Later on, he was not even afraid of the Ghost King because he had Luo Zhi there.
Luo Zhi said, "No matter who you get along with in the future, don't rely on your intuition to judge a person." After he said that, he continued reading and stopped eating the spicy strips.
He turned the pages of the book one by one, his handsome face sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.
The plot of the martial arts novel he read was rather melodramatic, with misunderstandings coming one after another and everyone going crazy in the end, but the overall style was quite funny. Luo Yu guessed that he must have seen those melodramatic plots.
Luo Yu looked at him for a while and then looked away, remembering that Luo Zhi had just said that it was a bit tricky to find the place where the ghost was, and it was probably full of dangers. So the next trip would be painful.
It turns out to be like this. I need to relax now before I set off.
Thinking of this, Luo Yu immediately decided something.
He snatched the martial arts novel away and said, "Luo Zhi, tonight I'll take you to experience the nightlife of the human world."
