Chapter 19: Circling the Alley (1/2)



Now Mother Wu no longer dared to look down on Lin Xi, and even regarded her as a master like her mother-in-law.

But if according to Lin Xi, the agreement between his son and the ghost has been fulfilled, but his son has not returned to normal, what is going on?

Lin Xi gave Mother Wu a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, the agreement between Wu Bin and that ghost has been fulfilled. The reason he's still clinging to Wu Bin is purely because of his greed."

Maybe he felt that this kind of life was too wonderful and forgot what he said at the beginning, so he was reluctant to leave.

Of course, part of the reason was that Wu Bin was too young and did not even agree on a specific time with the other party.

One day is "experiencing life", but one day or ten days can also be called "experiencing life".

If Lin Xi had not come, one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the ghost had been occupying Wu Bin's body until Wu Bin's body became ill and died because he was too affected by the ghost.

"What? I give up! This ghost is too speechless! I thought it was pitiful that he had died so many times and had never experienced anything, but he actually took the opportunity to take over my body!"

Wu Bin had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. He only felt that the ghost was treacherous and repaying kindness with enmity!

Mother Wu and Grandma Zhou were thinking more. They wondered if the ghost didn't leave, wouldn't their son/grandson always be like this, and they would never see him again?!

But still, there is still Lin Xi!

The two looked at Lin Xi with more gratitude, and asked about Wu Bin's current situation and whether there was anything they needed to pay attention to. When Lin Xi said that he was fine, the two were finally relieved.

The situation was resolved, and Lin Xi planned to return home.

But before leaving, Mother Wu did not forget one thing - that was the reward, which was also the hard work fee for Lin Xi's help this time.

This was also the first time that Mother Wu had experienced such a situation. Although Grandma Zhou had seen people hire a fortune teller before, she really didn't know how much money to give.

So the two of them could only stare at Lin Xi, hoping that she would come up with the price herself.

But Lin Xi just smiled and said, "Whatever you want."

Mother Wu and Grandma Zhou looked at each other and could only sigh in the end: The master is worthy of being a master, he is so indifferent to fame and fortune.

What they didn't know was that the reason why Lin Xi didn't take the initiative to make an offer was entirely because doing so would damage his image and worth.

After all, throughout history, which talented person would post a fee list with clearly marked prices in his home? That would be totally inconsistent with the image of a master with a sage-like demeanor.

Of course, I don't like small things like fortune-telling and divination so much.

But there are also disadvantages to doing this, that is, some people will want to take advantage of the opportunity and be too stingy in paying rewards.

Of course, when he met such people, Lin Xi would consciously avoid dealing with them, and naturally there would be no situation where he would be taken advantage of by such people.

So generally speaking, people who have dealt with her would not cheat on things like compensation. After all, no one knows whether they will encounter other things in the future.

Because of a small amount of money, I lost the opportunity to deal with the master next time, which is really not worth it.

Lin Xi left the Wu family after saying those profound-sounding words. Two minutes later, he received a transfer from Grandma Zhou on his mobile phone.

Twenty thousand yuan in total.

Lin Xi took a look and felt particularly good.

After donating half of her money as usual, seeing that it was almost noon, she walked towards a restaurant at the entrance of Wujia Community.

The restaurant had the words "Chuan Chuan Xiang" written on it in large letters. It was another kind of food that she had never tried before, so Lin Xi walked in decisively.

The Chuan Chuan Xiang business is pretty good. Although it’s not yet officially dinner time, there are already several tables of people sitting in the restaurant.

When the waiter saw Lin Xi sitting down, he looked at her quietly, guessing that it was her first time here, and it was very likely her first time eating skewers.

So she walked up quickly and said to her, "Classmate, we have skewers here, you can take whatever you want. It's just like hot pot. Just put the vegetables in and boil them until they're cooked. When you're done, put the skewers in this little bucket. When you pay, you count the skewers you ordered."

Lin Xi understood and thanked the waitress. Then, following her recommendation, she ordered a slightly spicy hot pot and got up to get food from the food section.

Lin Xi was very interested in all the food in the store, so she had no difficulty in choosing. She took some of the food she could and then sat down to wait for the water in the pot to boil.
