Chapter 80 I Give You My Heart
"Nothing special, I just lost my job recently. Well, I'm a price-sensitive consumer now, hehe."
Wang Qiuni felt a little embarrassed.
In her impression, those guys in the village, whether they were truly capable or not, would charge several thousand yuan for seeing things. Now that he was a master who had helped Fang Nanxing, he must be capable and famous, and his price was definitely higher than that of the village.
I just don't know how much it will cost. If it's twice as expensive as a fingerprint combination lock, she can barely accept it, but if it's more than...
Gritting her teeth, Wang Qiuni was about to say that she could just work three jobs a day and postpone the plan to recruit the stray Sanhua. Then she heard Qin Qinsen say, "No need for money. It was my negligence that led to your current situation. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble with this thing."
Wang Qiuni was stunned. It was the first time someone said that the problem she encountered was not her fault.
Whether it is parents, younger brothers, or people I meet while working outside, what they like to say most is "Qiuni, be careful and don't make mistakes again", "Nizi, you must learn to be grateful, not all families can give you a bite to eat", "Qiuni, apologize to the guests quickly."
By the way, that’s how she and Fang Nanxing met.
Half a month ago, Fang Nanxing emerged from the secret room looking dazed, as if she'd been frightened to death. Her eyes were lifeless, and her gait was unsteady. Li Yong, the store manager, told her to apologize to the customer immediately, saying she was on duty that day and that no matter what happened, she had to apologize.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't been so rude and angered the female ghost, Brother Yong wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and you wouldn't have been in trouble either."
Fang Nanxing admitted his mistake and said that his brother Qin was very capable and that these problems could be solved. Wang Qiuni could immediately resume her normal life.
Wang Qiuni looked at them stupidly while they apologized. She felt like her brain had turned into a paste and didn't know how to react.
"Remember." At this moment, Qin Qinsen said seriously, "Most ghosts are irrational. They don't need any reason when they want to kill people. There's no need to throw yourself into the trap of self-blame. Since the incident has happened, then solve the problem. If you feel sorry, just burn more gold and silver ingots for the deceased."
Wang Qiuni looked at Fang Nanxing, who was being lectured and could only nod, and suddenly smiled. "It's okay. I was planning to resign anyway, but now I'm just moving it forward. The important thing now is to catch the ghost. Today it's me, but next time he might find someone else. So what do we need to do as bait?"
Her eyes were firm, still nervous and fearful, but she seemed different from when they first met. Qin Qinsen was surprised to find that Wuliangqiu, who had been hiding between his eyebrows and was lazy, had made a move - "Wang Qiuni, change your name and you will have a long life. You have met a noble person today, and your luck has turned."
Amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd, Qin Qinsen suddenly chuckled, "I told you you were lucky, and it turns out to be true."
Walking to the saw-mouthed gourd, Qin Qinsen took out the yellow talisman and lighter from the canvas bag carried by Teng Su. "Look at him, he figured it out after just a few words. Look at you, tsk."
Standing there in silence, Teng Su felt wronged, but Qin Qinsen had already asked him to sit down and drawn the curtains to deceive the ghost. Teng Su could only silently make a note of it and settle the score when he got back.
"Oh no."
Wang Qiuni, who was sitting on the sofa, felt her heart tighten. Just as she was about to ask about the situation, she saw Qin Qinsen speak again, "I forgot to buy something."
The next second, Qin Qinsen started ordering the two furnishings in the house, "Buy a little rooster, the most energetic and the loudest one. Also buy some spinach, garland chrysanthemum, and hair algae. Oh, and a bowl of plain noodles, hurry up."
Bang, the door closed.
"Anyone who's in the way has left. Let's get started." Qin Qinsen maintained a smile and explained to the uneasy people, "Those two have too much yang energy, so it's easy for them to be exposed when trying to trick ghosts. Since you haven't eaten yet, let them buy you something."
The doors and windows were closed again, and with the curtains drawn, there was no light in the room. Wang Qiuni felt a little dry in the mouth, licking her chapped lower lip, and watching Qin Qinsen's movements with some nervousness.
After stuffing a number of yellow talismans under the cushions of the sofa where Wang Qiuni sat, Qin Qinsen took two steps back and chanted a spell towards the sofa and Wang Qiuni. A visible golden light flashed, and Wang Qiuni's eyes lit up with the golden light. "Is this the legendary magic?"
"This is a real-world spell that can deceive evil spirits."
Avoiding the blood under his feet, Qin Qinsen walked to the corner of the living room and raised his voice, "You can lie on the sofa now. Don't be nervous. The spell just now can protect you. No matter what you see later, just don't scream."
The house Wang Qiuni rented was on the sixth floor of a self-built building. Apart from the fact that it was high and had no elevator, its biggest drawback was that it was not soundproof.
All preparations complete, Qin Qinsen raised his hand, and paper money fell to the ground. The living room began to darken, and Qin Qinsen continued to take paper money from the canvas bag. After five consecutive times, the bag was obviously deflated.
At this moment, Wang Qiuni inexplicably became courageous and watched Qin Qinsen's actions with curiosity.
The room was neither too hot nor too cold, and with the door closed, the air wasn't circulating much, yet the paper money seemed to be flying everywhere. Soon, the whole living room was covered in it, and even her body was covered in it.
Wang Qiuni's pupils constricted as she picked up the rough paper that had fallen in front of her eyes, obstructing her view. Lying flat on the sofa, she met Li Yong's eyes, who was lying on the ceiling.
"Qiuni..." There was a large hole in Li Yong's chest, blood dripping out. Wang Qiuni watched helplessly as the foul-smelling blood dripped onto her clothes, clutching paper money. Her mind went blank, her limbs stiff. She ran away from home, terrified by the sound of it, let alone escape.
Li Yong raised his foot and walked down horizontally in the air, "Qiuni, are you sleepy? Qiuni, don't sleep, get up and work."
As they walked and talked, blood dripped from their eyes. Wang Qiuni watched him getting closer and closer. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't move her body. The sofa seemed to have grown arms, holding her tightly in its arms, refusing to let go.
"Qiuni, you are so beautiful."
"Look, I've given you my heart. Can you come and stay with me?"
Well, you're a hammer!
Wang Qiuni cried out inwardly. The agreed-upon hourly wage was 70 yuan, but not only did he find excuses to deduct it daily, he also constantly sought opportunities to take advantage. He clearly had a girlfriend, yet he still groped and made obscene remarks to other girls. Who would want to endure such humiliation if it weren't for the money?!
The most outrageous thing is what Qin Qinsen just said, that before Li Yong died, he saw the face of the person he longed for most.
Wang Qiuni thought of this and suddenly she was no longer afraid. She threw paper money at the ghost face that was about to stick on her, "Bah! Shameless and stinky man!"
"You unscrupulous slave owner! You bastard! Trash! I was so unlucky to end up working in your shop. I was planning to quit after this month. But you died without even paying me! If you want to die, just give me my salary! How can I support my cat without paying me?"
She became more and more angry as she spoke. Although her body could not move, Wang Qiuni's hands were not restrained, and she started scratching Li Yong's face.
