"Aaaaaaah!!! It moved! My hand! My hand is moving by itself!!!"
Jiang Beishu's eyes widened in terror as he screamed, instinctively trying to loosen his grip on the chopsticks.
Nan Yuanman quickly stood on tiptoe and grabbed his hand holding the chopsticks, her childish voice unusually serious: "Hold on tight! If you let go, there will be no room for maneuver between you and the debtor! He will think you broke the agreement! He will take away the rest of your lifespan!"
Zheng Feiyu was also terrified. Hearing this, he rushed forward to help: "Old Jiang, hold on, don't let go!"
Jiang Beishu's already poor complexion worsened, his lips turned white, his whole body was bloodless, and he trembled violently, gripping his chopsticks tightly in his hands as instructed.
That chilling force controlled the hand holding the chopsticks, slowly pointing it towards the word "yes".
Upon seeing that word, Jiang Beishu felt a wave of dizziness. His grandfather was incredibly audacious! He had actually borrowed lifespan from a ghost!
Seeing that Jiang Beishu looked like he was about to faint at any moment, Nan Yuanman knew he couldn't say anything, so she asked on his behalf, "Have you been following him around all this time because there's been a problem with the agreement between you and his grandfather?"
The chopsticks were still pointing at "Yes".
"What was the agreement between you and his grandfather? Did he have to offer incense and burn offerings for you every year?"
The chopsticks started moving again, slowly turning towards "No".
"It's not about burning incense and offerings, it's about helping you take care of your family members who are still alive?" Zheng Feiyu asked.
The chopsticks remained motionless on the word "no".
Seeing that the debtor was answering questions honestly and not doing anything harmful, Jiang Beishu's fear lessened a little. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this not it? Are we going to burn a fashionable new bride for you?"
The moment he asked the question, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly became scalding hot. He instinctively tried to shake them off, but Nan Yuanman's chubby little hands held them tightly, and he could only hiss and yell, "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!"
Nan Yuanman looked at this older brother who dared to ask any question with a speechless expression: "Hurry up and apologize, big brother, you made the person, no, the ghost angry!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I was so mean, I'm so sorry!!" Jiang Beishu's face contorted in pain as he hurriedly apologized loudly, and only then did the scalding hot chopsticks in his hand slowly cool down.
Jiangbei Book: qAq
He was wrong; he shouldn't have been so sarcastic.
Zheng Feiyu gave him a speechless look, then pointed at Jiang Beishu: "You really are something else, you dare to make such a joke. What if the person who lent you lifespan was a girl?"
Jiang Beishu honestly admitted his mistake: "...I know I was wrong."
"But this isn't it, and that isn't it either. Brother, or sister, no, ancestor, can you give us a hint? If we keep guessing like this, when will we ever figure it out?" Jiang Beishu was a little overwhelmed and said weakly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the chopsticks, which had been motionless, started moving again. Jiang Beishu felt his hand holding the chopsticks being covered by an icy hand, which controlled him to draw a square on the plate of rice with the chopsticks.
Draw two small circles inside this square.
Then, he moved to the other side and drew a square with a circle inside it.
Then she drew a line between the two squares.
After finishing the drawing, the chopsticks stopped moving again.
The two adults and one child in the ward looked at the pattern drawn on the plate with blank expressions.
“This…” Jiang Beishu looked at Zheng Feiyu and Nan Yuanman: “What do you mean?”
Zheng Feiyu looked at Nan Yuanman, who scratched her chubby cheeks, her little eyebrows furrowed, and carefully looked at the slightly abstract pattern. She suddenly realized and asked, "You mean, this big brother's grandfather promised to help you move?"
The chopsticks, which had been motionless, excitedly moved to the word "yes".
Zheng Feiyu: "?"
Jiangbei Shu: "?"
The two looked at Nan Yuanman in utter shock: "You... how did you figure that out?"
“This is easy.” Nan Yuanman pointed to the first small square with two circles: “This small square is obviously a coffin, and the circles inside are people. She drew another small square and a circle, which means that when the older brother’s grandfather was celebrating his longevity, he promised to help her move from this coffin with two people to another coffin.”
The chopsticks excitedly pointed at the word "yes" several times again.
Zheng Feiyu and Jiang Beishu fell silent.
How... exactly is it easy to tell?!
"Alright, now that the agreed-upon promise has been obtained, the next step is for big brother to fulfill the promise and then send her away!" Nan Yuanman released Jiang Beishu's hand and took out three incense sticks to prepare to send the ghost away.
Jiang Beishu quickly spoke up: "Wait, there's one last question! Even if you want me to fulfill the agreement, you have to tell me his name, where he lives, oh no, where he's buried!"
If his name is unknown and the location of his grave is unknown, how can he be asked to move the grave?
Nan Yuanman spread his little hands: "This is the problem you need to solve. Since your grandfather made a promise back then, there must be something recorded in his belongings. Why don't you just go and look for it, big brother?"
Jiang Beishu stammered, "I...I don't know how many of my grandfather's belongings are left. When he passed away, my parents burned almost everything..."
“Then there’s nothing I can do. After all, this is a matter of cause and effect between you and the debtor. You were the ones who breached the contract first. If you want to make amends, you have to show sincerity. I can’t interfere too much,” Nan Yuanman shrugged and said.
"After all, the debt ghost only followed you from the beginning. It didn't hurt or harm you. The changes in your body are just because you broke the contract. The lifespan that the debt ghost lent you was slowly taken away by it."
It didn't hurt or harm anyone, and it was legally reclaiming the lifespan it had lent out according to the contract. She had no legitimate reason to want to collect the ghost.
Jiang Beishu understood. He still needed to handle this matter personally. He gritted his teeth and looked at Nan Yuanman nervously: "Then... once I find the debtor's grave, could you help us move it?"
"As long as you pay, there's no problem. You can also buy a new coffin for your debtor here at Yuanman! Made with traditional craftsmanship, it's absolutely sturdy and easy to use!" Nan Yuanman nodded his little head and took the opportunity to promote his family's coffins.
Jiang Beishu looked surprised: "You sell coffins here?"
He looked around and saw that there was nothing in the living room except for the sofa and coffee table. Where did the coffin come from?
And this is a hospital... Is it reasonable to sell coffins in a hospital?
Nan Yuanman's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him eagerly: "Do you want to buy it? If you do, Yuanman can show you a sample. It's definitely worth more than the price!"
Most of the coffins that Grandpa and she made were kept in the dilapidated house in Batang Village. When they came to S City, they were in a hurry and didn't have time to put them all into the small coffins.
If she were to develop a client, she would have to go back to Batang Village and bring in all the coffins.
Jiang Beishu hesitated: "Should we...?" After all, he still needed to relocate the grave of the debtor, and he would have to buy a coffin sooner or later, wouldn't he?
Nan Yuanman was overjoyed. Just as she was about to take the coffin out of Xiao Hong, she remembered what her grandfather had said about trying to hide her supernatural abilities from outsiders.
She thought for a moment and said to Jiang Beishu, "Wait a moment."
Nan Yuanman strode into her second bedroom and took out three coffins of different colors.
Then she opened the door and waved to Jiang Beishu: "Big brother, come and choose, because you are the first customer, I can give you an 8.88% discount!"
Jiang Beishu craned his neck to look into the second bedroom, and when he saw the three coffins, his eyes widened instantly: "Holy crap!"
They actually sell coffins?!
