The spatial rift closed automatically after the spirit left, but Liu Sisi still didn't quite understand. She wanted to connect again to ask for clarification.
But when she tried to use the function again, the message flashed in her mind: "Soul Connection Function Expired."
"Damn it, what does this mean?" Liu Sisi scratched her head in frustration and sat down on the supermarket floor.
Suddenly she remembered the spirit saying that Li Guifen was not dead. If she wasn't dead, then where was she? And why did her father say she was dead?
Xi Yu watched her talking to herself, muttering something to herself.
The snake swam over and asked Liu Sisi, "Hey, girl, what are you doing here by yourself? Who were you talking to just now?"
Liu Sisi only snapped out of her daze when Xi Yu called her. "Didn't you see her just now?"
"What did you see?" Xi Yu asked, looking puzzled.
"It seems only I can see this," Liu Sisi thought to herself.
"It's nothing, I'm going to wash up and go to bed." She didn't want to think about things she couldn't understand, so as not to add to her troubles.
"Hey, wait a minute, can I go out for a walk? I'm getting really bored staying in this space all day." Xi Yu's voice was filled with grievance.
“It is true, it’s a bit stifling to keep it in this small space every day.” Liu Sisi understood it.
Okay! You can only go out at night now; you might scare people during the day.
It was already close to midnight, and almost everyone was fast asleep.
Liu Sisi tiptoed up the mountain and released Xi Yu from her spatial dimension.
"Go have fun! When you're done, sense my presence and I'll bring you back."
"Xi Yu pointed at its enormous snake head, then turned and disappeared into the inner part of the mountain."
The next morning, a man dressed in black came to the village and immediately inquired about the snake spirit saving people.
Because the village head and clan chief had told the villagers that this was a secret and should not be revealed to outsiders, in case too many people knew and they would start searching for the snake spirit's residence, which would disturb the snake spirit's peaceful cultivation.
The first person the man went to was Aunt Wang, Wang Xiaocui's house. He knocked on the door for a long time before Wang Xiaocui finally opened it.
"Who is it, so early in the morning?" Wang Xiaocui said with displeasure.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. I heard that your area was recently ravaged by bandits, and that the Snake Immortal saved you. Is that true?" the man asked.
Wang Xiaocui immediately realized that they were planning to take advantage of the snake spirit.
"No, there's no such thing as a snake spirit. We were rescued by government soldiers. I have other things to do, so I'll stop here."
Without waiting for a reply, Wang Xiaocui closed the door after speaking.
The man in black had no choice but to go to several other places, but he received the same answer from each one.
"How could this happen?" He went to Liu Sisi's house again.
Liu Dashi was already getting ready to drive the carriage to the shop.
The man in black went straight to the point as soon as he entered, asking Liu Dashi if he had ever seen a snake spirit. Liu Dashi glanced at his daughter and said, "There is no snake spirit. Those are just stories passed down from the older generation. Don't take them seriously."
The man in black asked everyone in Tianshan Village, and their answers were all pretty much the same.
"Could the rumors be false? Having found out nothing, he went back to report."
Recently, Chen Si Food Shop has been receiving more and more customers who need delivery services, and Liu Sisi's family is a little overwhelmed.
Liu Sisi went to the alley she had been in before and marked it. Liu Sheng and the others would go there every day because they realized that "Big Sister" really needed their help this time.
They waited where they were, and Liu Sisi went into the alley after she finished her work.
Sure enough, they were waiting there.
"My shop needs some people to help deliver food to customers. I'll pay two coins for each delivery. Who would like to go?" Liu Sisi asked.
“I do,” the little beggars said eagerly.
"Since everyone is willing, then let's do it this way! There are seven of you now."
"Liu Sheng, you're in charge of arranging these few. Usually, there won't be so many to deliver at once. You can decide who goes yourself, and try to be as fair as possible."
"I understand, big sister," Liu Sheng said, somewhat excited that Liu Sisi had given them a way to make money.
"Then come with me! I'll give you some clean clothes. Who would dare eat the food you're delivering looking like this?" Liu Sisi planned to hire them as temporary workers so that there would be people to deliver the food.
"Okay, big sister, you're so kind." Liu Sheng was much taller than Liu Sisi, and he kept calling her "big sister" without feeling ashamed at all.
"Alright, I'm only 8 years old. Stop calling me 'Big Sister' all the time. If you really want to call me that, then call me 'Boss'!"
"Understood, boss," the little beggars all shouted at the same time.
Liu Sisi told them to wash up on their own, and bought each of them a new set of clothes and shoes, even though they were all made of the cheapest linen.
But they were all very happy, because they would be able to earn money from now on and would no longer have to beg for food.
Liu Sisi then led the group to the shop.
I told my parents about their situation and asked them to let any delivery drivers do it, paying them two coins for each delivery.
"Let me make this clear first: do your job well and I won't treat you unfairly, but don't even think about running away with the money."
“You all have to return the money the guests gave you truthfully. Otherwise, if I catch anyone being dishonest, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Liu Sisi said, her eyes sweeping over Liu Sheng and the others.
"We will definitely serve our employer well," Liu Sheng was the first to express his loyalty, and the others echoed him.
“Daughter, you’re so smart. This way we don’t have to run around outside, so we don’t have to stay at the shop,” Liu Dashi said to Liu Sisi.
Of course, this way you, your mother, your elder brother, and your sister-in-law will have an easier time.
Liu Sisi didn't expect these young men to be so diligent. When there were takeout orders, they would go out and deliver them. When there were no takeout orders, they would help serve rice noodles and clean tables in the shop.
Now Liu Sisi doesn't need to do anything herself; she's very free all day.
Seeing how capable they were, Liu Sisi added another coin to their travel expenses.
At the end of the day, Liu Sheng and the others each earned about ten coins. Although it wasn't much, they were quite satisfied, mainly because Liu Sisi had also provided them with a meal.
The main problem is that they used to not have enough to eat, but now they get money and can have a full meal, which is great.
Liu Sisi's life is getting better and better, while Li Guifen's parents are preparing for her funeral at home. And what about Li Guifen herself?
She was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, unable to move, and was preparing to arrange a ghost marriage for the family she was currently in.
This family lives in Qingshui Town, which is next to Wutong Town. They are a relatively well-off family with some money.
His eldest son passed away due to illness. They consulted a so-called master who said that his unfulfilled wish was to get married, otherwise his family would be in turmoil.
But who would arrange a ghost marriage for him with a good family's daughter? Coincidentally, one day, a servant of the family went to town to buy funeral supplies and mentioned this matter to an acquaintance, which was overheard by Li Ergou.
