As soon as the sixth episode started, the comment section was stuck and out of frame, resulting in many viewers who entered the live broadcast room later not having the "Participate" button pop up on their mobile phone pages.
They refreshed their phone screens, but repeatedly to no avail. They watched helplessly as the interactive draw ended. Many viewers were so angry that they went to the program team's official website to make a fuss.
Soon, the term "the program team collapsed" became a hot search again.
[I'm so angry. I got up early in the morning to watch the show just to participate in the interaction. Although I, a non-African, have no chance of being selected, you can't deprive me of the right to participate! ! ]
[Hiss... Gu Zhisang's live broadcast room is too popular. ]
[It was so funny that my grandma was wearing reading glasses and waiting nervously for the whole morning, but the live broadcast room crashed. She thought there was something wrong with her phone and was very disappointed.]
[…The crazy marketing of a certain actress has started again. Can you please let me go? I'm really tired of seeing this!!]
Even though a large number of viewers were stuck, there were still millions of people who successfully participated.
The person finally selected by the system was a mother with cubs.
The camera turned off because the child suddenly started crying, so 'Lie Flat Life' held her further away to comfort her, leaving only Gu Zhisang on the screen.
When she suddenly moved closer to the camera, her bare face enlarged on the screen.
Her skin was so clear that you couldn't see any pores, and her eyelashes were clearly visible. When she asked about Cardon's condition, her voice was a little lazy and nasal, not as cold as in previous shows.
Many viewers who had originally complained and praised the baby for being adorable were dazzled, and then, without caring whether their comments could be sent out or not, they began to flatter the baby crazily.
[I don't need to guess, everyone in the live broadcast room must look worthless now, but I'm different, I don't want money! Sangsang's wife is bewitching me! ! ]
[The Nima program team, please fix the bug for me, I can't even send out a hundred-word rainbow fart!!]
Backstage in the studio
The technical staff are repeatedly checking the network and carrier systems, but after repeated attempts they have not been able to successfully restore the fault in the live broadcast room.
At this time, some impatient viewers had already fled to other contestants' live broadcast rooms, and other people's comments sections were also discussing the lag at Gu Zhisang, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other contestants' fans.
The assistant director was sweating with anxiety and paced back and forth beside the technicians, "What's wrong with you guys? It's been so long and you haven't recovered yet?"
The technical staff was also under great pressure and complained:
"Director, we checked twice and didn't find any problems. Moreover, the number of online users is far less than the maximum number that the server we rented can support. This shouldn't be the case."
It was not until the technical staff upgraded and expanded the capacity again that the lag in the live broadcast room suddenly disappeared.
"This is really strange. There are only over 10 million people..."
Little did they know that in places that the technical staff could not see, virtual network cables were carrying tens of thousands of netizens from the underworld, crowding into Gu Zhisang's live broadcast room to surf the Internet.
The original fans of the underworld ghosts were very Buddhist. Their internet speed was slow, the clarity was low, and they couldn't post comments, but that didn't stop them from enjoying watching the live broadcasts.
But today is different.
Gu Zhisang is already the new messenger of their underworld, but he was bullied by the shameless old man from Xuanmen. The ghost fans who were aroused with anger and protective desire posted comments in support of Messenger Gu.
This caused the precarious live broadcast network to completely collapse.
After the lag was restored, the barrage of comments refreshed rapidly.
"? There is a living person who said that our ghost fans' dreams were all fake, and even cursed our envoy!"
The angry ghost clattered on the screen and left a message under the black fan's comment: "I'll go to your dream tonight, just wait."
This reply was highly praised by the angry ghosts in the underworld and appeared directly in the comment section.
This big ghost is called 'Second in Command of Chi Xiao Hell', and its profile picture is a selfie of it in the Chi Xiao Hell where red pulp is billowing.
The protagonist in the picture has a green face and fangs, gray-green skin, and stares at the screen with sinister eyes. Behind him is a magma waterfall flowing from top to bottom. Both the picture and the atmosphere are extremely realistic.
Many people clicked on its large profile picture, and felt a chill down their spine when they saw those ghostly eyes.
However, the hater didn't take it seriously and replied with "I'm so scared" and took a screenshot and posted it to the group to mock him:
"I really laughed. How could Gu Zhisang's company team hire such dedicated Internet trolls? They even changed their names and profile pictures to scare people. This is simply the behavior of an elementary school student."
Someone in the group replied: 'Haha, I also saw a primary school student named Skin Peeler, and his profile picture is also a ghost picture.'
After laughing for a while, the black fan switched back to the live broadcast page and found that his comment had become popular. Many people left comments, but their focus was very distorted.
[I searched online and there really is a 'Chi Xiao Hell'. I hope my brother didn't really come from underground.]
[Oh my god, this avatar! ! It really scared me. I got goose bumps all over my body. What technology made it so realistic? ]
[Fuck, I work as a photographer. I clicked on it and looked at the details several times but didn't find any traces of PS. Is this a special effect? ? ]
There were also people in the metaphysical world who were watching the live broadcast and knew Gu Zhisang's identity. They felt the eerie and sinister aura in the photo and realized that something was wrong. They persuaded the black fans to delete their comments.
Gu Zhisang happened to see this message and also noticed that there were an unusually large number of comments from the underworld today.
After thinking for a while, she said to the camera: "Friends who like me should not do anything out of line. It's not necessary."
As she spoke, she read out the nickname of the hater and asked her assistant Xiao Zhou to remember him:
"This viewer said I bought marketing and insulted me, which had a very bad impact on me. I will sue you for defamation."
The ghost fans of the underworld heard this:
"Listen to Sangsang and don't make trouble. We are ghosts who abide by the laws of the underworld and are civilized. At most, we can scare them, but we can't cause any trouble."
"Emissary Gu must be worried that we might be infected with evil spirits. She really cares about the ghost fans."
“…”
When 'Lying Down Life' finally coaxed her child and returned to the live camera, she found that the restored comment section was flooded with comments like "Sangsang is so strong". She was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Gu Zhisang said: "If you are ready, shall we start?"
'Lie Flat Life' held his daughter with a red face and nodded, "Let's start. Sorry for the noise of the child and wasting everyone's time."
"Madam, what do you want to calculate, or is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Zhisang asked.
'Lie Flat Life' thought about it and smiled embarrassedly: "Master Gu, I have been following this program. I know that you are very accurate in fortune-telling. Can I have a fortune-telling for my whole family?"
Gu Zhisang nodded, "Of course, let's start with you."
She looked at the face of 'lying flat life', and then said:
"Let me first talk about your basic information. You were born in the late 1980s and are 33 years old this year. I see that your five elements are strong in water and wood, but lack metal and fire. Based on your fate palace, I see that this is affected by the feng shui of the terrain where you were born - you were born by the sea.
The living environment and family atmosphere since childhood have made you develop a bright, generous and carefree personality. You are rarely sentimental or even careless, which is also your main shortcoming. "
"Your migration house shows that in the past thirty years or so, you have only had two major changes in your life, one at the age of seventeen and the other at the age of twenty-two, both of which were moves to the north.
The first time you were admitted to a university in another province from your hometown, and the second time you married your boyfriend from college and chose to move to his hometown with him, which is where you live now. Since then, there have been no major changes. "
'Lie Flat Life' repeatedly and sighed:
"I was indeed born on the edge of the Minhai Lake, and I grew up looking at the sea. I studied education in college, and I practiced Mandarin hard, so I don't have a southern accent at all. Friends I met later couldn't guess that I was from there. I didn't expect Master Gu to be able to accurately predict it with just one look. You are really amazing!"
Gu Zhisang continued:
"Your parents are both alive and well, and they haven't suffered any serious illness or disaster. It's just that they stayed in their hometown and live far away from you. From the perspective of the Parents Palace, it is very flat."
"You are a junior high school teacher. You and your husband have been married for many years and your relationship is very good. Judging from your marriage line and your marriage palace, you are the right match for each other. Both of you are down-to-earth people.
And the one you are holding in your arms is your little daughter, who will be two years old soon, and you have an older son who is nine years old.”
'Lying Down Life' was very excited and said that Gu Zhisang was right about everything.
The old fans in the live broadcast room are no longer surprised by her reactions.
[Fortune telling is just basic stuff, sister, don't get so excited, the little baby in your arms is going to be scared to tears by mom again hhh]
[Isn't she looking too young? She looks like she's in her twenties. She's a teacher and a mother of two children. It's really great that she's still in this state despite all the troubles she's taking.]
[This sister is probably the happiest among the viewers who are currently interacting with her. She has two children, healthy parents, and a husband who is honest and certified by Sangsang. This is obviously a very common wish, but it is a luxury for many people.]
[Teacher, no wonder you have two days off a week, and people who often interact with children tend to have a younger mentality. ]
Gu Zhisang added: "Although I don't have your little daughter's horoscope, her soul fire is a little weak, and her anterior fontanelle heals slowly, and it has not yet completely closed."
'Lying Flat Life' was a little confused and asked, "What does this mean, Master Gu?"
It turns out that when everyone is born, the skull is not perfectly fitted and requires growth to close completely.
The human skull has a posterior fontanelle and anterior fontanelle.
The former will generally fully grow together about two months after birth, while the latter will not grow together until about one to one and a half years old. If closure is delayed, the child will be weak, grow slowly, or even suffer from some growth diseases.
From the perspective of metaphysics, the reason why infants and young children can see things that ordinary people cannot see is because there is a gap in their fontanelle, which can be regarded as a kind of false Yin-Yang eyesight.
Many people can see ghosts when they are very young, but as they grow older and their anterior fontanelle closes, the ability to sense those things gradually disappears.
The youngest daughter of 'Lying Flat Life' is two years old. She is one of those children who is particularly sensitive because her anterior fontanelle has not closed.
In Gu Zhisang's eyes, the two small soul fires on her shoulders seemed a little weak, probably because she was frightened by something.
"Does your daughter cry or laugh for no apparent reason? This is especially true in the past two days."
As soon as Gu Zhisang finished speaking, 'Lie Flat Life' nodded vigorously and said anxiously:
"It's true! I didn't really pay attention to it before. Compared with other babies, Yuanyuan was relatively well-behaved and easy to coax. But in the past half month or so, she has been crying every day and my mother-in-law can't coax her at all.
She also had a few intermittent fevers, so I took her to the Children's Hospital. The doctor said it might be due to the change of seasons and that the child's body is weak and their resistance is not very good. "
After the doctor said that the problem was not serious, although 'Lying Down Life' felt sorry for his daughter, he did not think much about it.
She never thought that her daughter's crying was actually related to the supernatural! !
'Lying Down Life' is a junior high school teacher. She is very busy recently as it is the freshman orientation semester. Her husband is a programmer who works 996 and overtime is the norm, so she can only hire a nanny and mother-in-law to take care of her little daughter during the day.
She suddenly thought of something and said awkwardly:
"I have a little boy at home. When I heard Yuanyuan crying a few times ago, he was always hanging around the crib and teasing her. I thought he was making his sister cry again, so I said something to him. I didn't expect that I had wrongly blamed him."
"Master Gu, can you help me see what Yuanyuan bumped into? Could it be a Feng Shui problem at home?"
"Lie down and live a life" he said as he stood up, picked up his daughter and walked around the room with his mobile phone, taking careful pictures of Yuanyuan's crib.
After looking around, Gu Zhisang pointed out some areas that needed improvement and said:
"There's nothing wrong with the feng shui ornaments, and the location is okay, so it shouldn't have anything to do with these."
She paused and continued, "It may be that there is a problem with other close relatives, which has affected your daughter."
Hearing this, 'Lie Down Life' became anxious.
There is no one else living in this house except their family of four. The mother-in-law comes to visit occasionally, and the nanny leaves as soon as she gets off work every day.
Could something have happened to my husband and son?
She quickly took out her cell phone and called her husband, asking him to ask for leave and go home, and then stammered, "My naughty boy is still sleeping, I'll go call him now!"
Saying "lie down and live a peaceful life", he put Yuanyuan on the sofa, then went to his son's room and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, the door finally opened from the inside. A little boy with messy hair came out rubbing his eyes. The first words he said were:
"Mom, I'm hungry."
'Lie Flat Life' patted his head and said, "Come here and let a sister take a look at you. Mom will go and heat up breakfast for you."
The boy shook his head and shouted, "I'm hungry. I want to eat now. Mom, I'm hungry."
"Why don't you listen, kid? Sit over here first and I'll..."
"No, no, I want to eat now, I'm hungry!"
The boy broke free from his mother's hand and half-sat on the ground, looking very angry, but his shouting voice was already filled with tears.
At this time, 'Lying Down Life' and the audience in the live broadcast room felt that something was not right.
Although my son is usually a bit naughty, he rarely makes such a fuss.
[This child must be really hungry. He looks like he is about to cry. This is not normal.]
At this moment, her daughter Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to be frightened by her brother's noise, and she started crying again with a pout.
Just when 'Lying Down Life' was feeling overwhelmed, Gu Zhisang suddenly spoke up:
"Don't look for it. The problem lies with your son."
Her slightly raised eyes stared through the screen at the back of the boy. There was a translucent grey figure standing in the door frame, only an arm's length away from 'Lying Flat for Life'.
Gu Zhisang said: "There is a ghost beside your son."
Lying flat life/audience:? ! !
It was fine when I didn't know, but after I knew it, I was startled and felt inexplicably cold around me.
She looked around in panic, "Master Gu, you said he is with... in this house?!"
Gu Zhisang did not deny: "Closer than you think."
Hearing this, 'Lie Down for Life''s' breathing became tight, and his legs almost gave way to his sitting on the ground.
But when she thought about the two kids at home and the video chat with Master Gu, she was not so scared anymore. She gritted her teeth and said,
"Why is it haunting my son?"
Gu Zhisang looked at the shadow that was waving its hands and said soothingly, "Don't be so nervous. It probably has no ill intentions. It didn't mean to bother your son on purpose, nor did it intend to harm him..."
"If I must say, it was your son who provoked it first."
Hearing her voice, the gray ghost became extremely excited. It floated in front of the phone screen and put its face close to the camera, its face distorted with excitement.
"Is it Sangsang? Is it the crew of the "Spiritual Matters" program?! Sangsang, I am your loyal fan. Am I on TV? Can my friends in the underworld see me?"
After howling, it nodded and said, "I didn't mess with this kid. You don't know what stupid things he did. I even helped him!"
From the camera, the face of the ghost that was very close was a little old man with unshaven beard, wearing a worn leather jacket and baggy pants, indicating that this was an old ghost who was not living a good life.
Although neither 'Lying Down on Life' nor the audience in the live broadcast room could hear what it said, because ghosts can affect electric current and electronic devices, it was too close to the phone and wanted to drill in and follow the network cable to find Gu Zhisang, so 'Lying Down on Life''s phone was still affected.
The picture she shot with the front camera inexplicably showed some fluctuations, and even a crackling sound.
[Did the screen move just now? There really is a ghost, my family!!]
[Has anyone recorded the screen? I seem to see a gray shadow on the screen. Help, this is too exciting! ! ]
[I chanted the six-syllable mantra in my quilt, Namo Amitabha, all evil spirits retreat! Retreat! Retreat!]
At this moment, Yuanyuan, who was already sobbing, saw Laogui and her eyes widened and she burst into tears, pointing in the direction of Laogui and calling him "Mom" while breathlessly.
The show was even more explosive, with countless netizens convinced that there was a ghost in front of the screen.
'Lying flat life' held his daughter in his arms, and looking at the direction of his daughter's finger - which was the direction of the phone, his scalp was about to explode, and he was trembling and wanted to cry but had no tears:
"What's your name? How did my son offend you? As his mother, I apologize to you on his behalf! You are a big man and don't bear grudges..."
Fortunately, my husband's workplace was not far from home. After receiving the call, he took leave immediately and rushed back as quickly as possible.
As soon as he opened the door, the man saw the house was in a mess. The two children were crying louder than the other, and his wife's eyes turned red when she saw him.
He looked at the phone screen that was still live streaming, picked up his eldest son from the ground, and asked, "What's going on?!"
'Lie Flat Life' was not so nervous anymore. He explained the whole thing. When he heard that there was a ghost in his house, even though he was a materialistic man, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Although he still doubted Gu Zhisang's words, looking at his frightened wife and daughter and his son who was still shouting that he was hungry, the man still asked:
"Master Gu, what on earth is my son...?"
While the family was making a fuss, the old ghost in front of the screen had already complained first, explaining the "grudge" between himself and the little boy.
Gu Zhisang knew the cause and effect of the matter without any deduction.
She asked, "Where was your son around ten o'clock last night?"
"Last night?" The man was stunned for a moment and said, "We should have finished eating and went home by then."
He worked overtime until after eight o'clock last night. Although he had eaten in the afternoon, he was still hungry and wanted to go downstairs for a midnight snack. Because his wife had to take care of their daughter and didn't want to go out, he took his son to eat barbecue at a roadside stall.
Gu Zhisang said: "Think back and see if you encountered anything on the way home."
The man frowned and suddenly thought of something.
It was already late last night when he paid the bill, so he and his son walked home from the barbecue stand. When they were almost at the intersection of the community, he smelled a faint smoky smell, like something was burnt.
As he looked around, he found several circles drawn on the ground by the roadside. Inside the circles were piles of burnt debris and sporadic sparks flickering inside.
The man didn't realize what it was at the time, but he saw his well-fed son jumping and hopping in circles like hopscotch, stepping on sparks and making the black ash inside fall into chaos.
He suddenly remembered what this was and quickly scolded his son to stop his behavior.
Isn’t this the circle drawn by burning paper at the crossroads that many people will make during the Qingming Festival?
Because today is not Qingming Festival, he didn't think of it for a while.
The man was still thinking, open flames are prohibited in the city, who would secretly run to the gate of the community to burn paper in the middle of the night...
Really? !
Gu Zhisang confirmed the doubts in his heart and explained the reasons.
It turns out that there is a non-local family living in this community.
Their local custom is that on the anniversary of the death of a relative every year, if they cannot go to the grave to worship, they can burn paper on the roadside to let the deceased relative receive the incense.
If you encounter any problems and need the blessing of your ancestors, you can also prepare paper money and incense and burn them in this way.
Yesterday was the death anniversary of this family's direct elder. Their business also ran into big problems and things were not going well, so the family secretly prepared paper money and burned it at the crossroads.
During the burning process, they drew a few more circles and called out the names of their deceased elders in the family, asking them to bless their family with safety and prosperity in business.
And this old ghost is also one of the relatives of this family.
But he is not a direct descendant, but an uncle from a branch of the clan.
Lao Gui had no children when he was alive, and he was very kind to the man of the house. He treated him like his own son and provided him with a lot of help.
When it died, it left its meager property to the man of the house.
When it was about to close its eyes, the male owner repeatedly assured it at its bedside that he was like its own son, and that he would burn lots of paper money to offer to it on every festival and anniversary of its death, so that it could live a good life in the underworld.
Who would have thought that within less than two years of his death, the boy had already forgotten him completely.
He is diligent in visiting his parents' graves during the holidays, but he can't remember his own death anniversary, or even if he remembers it, he is too lazy to burn paper.
This time he was unlucky in business, so he went around praying to gods and Buddhas and his ancestors, and only after he had worshipped his parents and ancestors did he remember his uncle.
After the old ghost and a group of relatives who had not been reincarnated were called up by this unfilial nephew, they discovered that the incense offerings they had were pitifully few, and they could only watch other ghosts feasting on the food.
Just then, a little brat stepped into its circle with a giggle.
You should know that the meaning of this circle is the gap and tomb door of the deceased's tomb. It is a tunnel connecting yin and yang. If you step on it, the ghost will not bear a grudge unless it is a very small person.
But this kid was jumping and dancing, and even blew up the incense ash in the circle. Isn't this dancing on their graves? ?
The boy didn't know what the circles meant, he just thought tapping them was fun.
But he didn't know that there were three or five old ghosts with gloomy expressions floating around him and watching him.
The angry old ghost suggested that he teach this kid a lesson, make him seriously ill or fall down hard, so that he could feel better. But the uncle persuaded him back:
"Forget it. What does a fool know? Don't bother with him."
It was about to go back, but when it thought about how it had eaten a fingernail-sized amount of incense sticks just by running up here, it became hungry and angry, so it set its sights on the little boy, wanting to go home with him and borrow his body to eat something.
I helped him ward off disaster, so it shouldn't be too much to eat some of the offerings, right?
I just didn’t expect that by such a coincidence I would run into Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast.
The old ghost cried out in injustice: "I am a good ghost who abides by the law. I didn't harm the boy at all. I just had a good meal. They can't wrongly accuse me!"
After listening to Gu Zhisang's explanation, 'Lying Flat Life' was stunned, and suddenly thought of something:
"It was around 2 a.m. yesterday. I heard some rustling noises in the kitchen and thought there was a thief in the house. I went out and saw that my son had opened the refrigerator and was eating the roast chicken and drinking his father's beer! I was so angry that I beat him up for drinking alcohol at such a young age..."
Now it seems that it was probably this extremely hungry old ghost that possessed his son and was stealing food and drink.
She said that the boy had just eaten in the evening and was hungry again in the middle of the night.
Gu Zhisang confirmed that the old ghost had no ill intentions and had completely restrained his negative energy when possessing them. The couple of 'Lying Down for Life' were no longer afraid and even thought that the old ghost was quite interesting.
The couple took out all the wine and food from the refrigerator at home, and also ordered takeout, which they put chopsticks in to serve Lao Gui.
'Lying Flat Life' said: "My dear senior, my son really didn't know the meaning of the circle and didn't do it on purpose. Thank you for protecting him from the disaster. We will buy some incense and paper money to burn for you right away as a small token of our gratitude."
The old ghost also said that it had originally planned to return to the underworld tonight and had no intention of sticking with the boy for long.
[This seemingly horrific incident is actually quite heartwarming. This uncle is really nice, but his nephew is such a piece of shit, he deserves his bad luck.]
[Hahahaha, possessing a spirit just to steal something to eat is too pitiful! I even want to burn some paper for it.]
Just when everyone thought that the problems at home had been solved, Gu Zhisang suddenly spoke:
"Now that your son's ghost has explained it clearly, I will take a look at the 'Longevity Lantern' on him."
'Lie Flat Life' couple/audience: ???
"Master Gu, what you mean is... there is something wrong with my son?"
"Yes." Gu Zhisang said, "You said it yourself. Your little daughter has been crying and having a low-grade fever for more than half a month. This ghost only appeared last night. There must have been other reasons before that."
In her eyes, there was a very light layer of gray on the boy's face, but it was not serious and would not affect his health. The two lights on his left and right shoulders were normal and not weak.
What’s strange is that there are two wicks in the soul lamp above his head!
One wick was burning with a normal translucent red flame, and the other wick hidden inside was also burning with a faint cold green light.
The two flames mixed together looked a little weird.
Regardless of what this thing is, even people who don't understand metaphysics will understand one thing:
When two wicks burn in one lamp at the same time, the 'lamp oil' will definitely burn faster!
'Lying Down for Life' was a little overwhelmed. She had a hunch that 'lighting the longevity lanterns' was not a good thing, but when she looked at her son who was no longer crying for hunger and had a confused look on his face, she knew that it was not his fault that he had encountered such a thing.
Gu Zhisang on this side of the camera looked at the boy's face and told him the time.
"Eighteen days ago, 'Lighting the Longevity Lantern' began to appear on his body." Gu Zhisang raised his eyes, looked at the camera and said:
"The so-called 'lighting the longevity lamp' is a means of borrowing lifespan. It is to place a soul core in a person's 'Heavenly Lamp' and burn the vitality and soul power in the 'Heavenly Lamp' to gain your son's longevity."
"To put it simply, your son's life was stolen."
Although the couple had prepared themselves mentally for the "Lie Down Life", they were still devastated and could not accept it. "How could this happen?! Who is so cruel to do this to a child!"
Gu Zhisang fiddled with the coins in his hand and said:
"I didn't sense any overly sinister aura from your son, which means this lamp is 'straight' and has passed through the underworld. To put it simply, your son agreed to borrow his life."
"But this kind of magic of borrowing life is not a good thing after all. Lighting a longevity lamp on a living person will naturally make his aura become cold and gloomy. Your daughter is extremely sensitive to these things, so she has been affected and become weak and easily frightened."
So Yuanyuan was not actually scared by the ghost, but was stimulated by the negative energy of her brother.
"Now, in order to find out who the lamplighter is and break this spell, we must first know what happened that day." Gu Zhisang said.
'Lie Flat Life' wiped away tears and repeatedly asked his son.
But a child of seven or eight years old is at an age when he only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. In addition, his parents looked extremely serious, which made him feel scared. He just shook his head in panic and said that he knew nothing.
Gu Zhisang calmed her down and suggested that she check her son's things to see if there was anything unusual.
So the couple searched the boy's room, but found nothing unusual. However, they did take photos of several hidden comic books and empty packaging bags of spicy snacks.
'Lie flat life' doesn't feel right.
She never lets her son eat junk food or buy idle books. Where does her son get the money to buy these things?
"Did you take money from home?"
The boy stiffened his neck and blushed, shouting, "I don't have it! This is my own money."
"Where did you get so much money?"
Gu Zhisang on the other side of the camera suddenly realized something and interrupted 'Lie Flat Life' and said, "I know what's going on."
"Little boy, let me ask you, have you ever picked up some money on the roadside before, folded into a triangle and tied with a red string? In short, it's probably RMB that looks like this."
This time the boy's expression was not as righteous as before. Instead, he looked a little guilty. He stammered and didn't say anything.
Seeing his expression, everyone still didn't understand something. 'Lie Flat Life' said sternly: "Why don't you tell the truth?!"
The boy burst into tears and admitted it with a grunt.
"I found it. I didn't take anyone's money, nor did I take anything from my home."
He could not remember the exact time, but he remembered that it was one afternoon after school. When he was playing with his friends in the small woods behind the school, he saw a red object.
He ran over, picked it up and found that it was a red envelope.
It is the red envelope that the elders in the family give to children during the New Year. It is printed with a New Year doll with a red face and a smile. It is sealed with tape and there is a bulge inside.
He tore open the seal and his eyes widened when he saw what was inside. The pink banknotes were stacked together, and the portrait revealed was that of the chairman of Xia Country!
The boy, who is already in the second grade, knew what this thing was: it was a hundred-dollar bill!
After unpacking it, it was exactly 300 yuan.
His heart was pounding.
There was no one around, and the carefree boy had his first dilemma in life: should he give the money to his parents for return or keep the huge sum of money for himself?
But when he thought about the comics passed around by his classmates, the spicy snacks sold at the school gate, and the trendy racing car toys, etc., he finally couldn't resist the temptation and embezzled the money.
During those days, the boy was flustered whether he was in class or going home.
He was afraid that the owner would call the police to arrest him, and he was also afraid that his parents would find the money in the bag, but gradually he became less nervous.
During those days he spent huge sums of money on comics and cards, and treated his good friends to spicy noodles and soda. He acted like the leader of the kids and had everyone following his orders. He was so cool!
After hearing her son's confession, 'Lie Ping Rensheng's eyes went dark and she wanted to press him down on a stool and beat him up. She said angrily, "How dare you be so bold? You picked up so much money and you dared to hide it and spend it. Who taught you that?"
Gu Zhisang was somewhat helpless and asked, "Do you still have the red envelope with the money in it?"
