"Do you know what happened last night?"
"Everyone knows that. That was a big commotion. I never thought that the Wu family's second son would be killed by his own parents."
"The main reason was too outrageous. She just listened to the nonsense of a fraudulent Taoist priest and thought her bad luck was due to a conflict with her son, so she killed her son."
"Er Gouzi is such a good kid, what a pity."
"It's a pity. Oh, yes, it seems that the person who discovered this was a girl. She looks unfamiliar."
"What do you mean she looks unfamiliar? That's Manchun's granddaughter. She still runs an incense shop in town. My neighbor said her talismans are very effective."
Then Ji Yu sold talismans for a whole day, but most of them were not from people who trusted her. They were just trying to do some business to boost her store because of the Wu family's affairs.
As the sun sets, the small river in front of the incense shop reflects a long golden ribbon. A stone falls, causing ripples, and the long ribbon breaks into countless golden lights floating on the water.
At the alley on the other side of the river, a young man pointed at Ji Yu, who was sitting at the door basking in the last rays of the sun, and lowered his voice.
"When the police handed the Wu family case over to us last night, they found obvious traces of vengeful ghosts at the scene. She was the only outsider present. Captain, should we go and ask her? She looks like someone from the Xuanmen sect."
Shen Baizhou flicked the photo in his hand, and Ji Yu's appearance was on it.
"So it's her."
"Ah? Captain, do you know her?"
Shen Baizhou shook his head, put the photo into the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, and glanced at the person next to him with disgust.
"You're so close to me, be careful. You might choke to death if you try to drink water back."
"I brought a good luck charm."
"It's barely a few minutes, you're almost out of time."
The young man took out his cell phone and saw that it was almost time, so he immediately ran away, as far away from Shen Baizhou as possible.
The noise was quite loud. Ji Yu pulled off the fan covering his face and looked across the river. Coincidentally, he met the eyes of Shen Baizhou opposite him.
The other party did not shy away from it and raised the corner of his lips to reveal a very faint smile.
Ji Yu waved his hand as a greeting, and after the person left, he lay back in his chair and said lazily, "What a jinx!"
Despite being plagued by so much bad luck, he was still able to grow up to this age. I wonder if this can be considered a kind of luck to some extent.
At night, Ji Yu released Wu Ergou and asked him to help look after the store.
"The underworld is overcrowded anyway, and you won't be able to reincarnate for a while. Why don't you help me watch the shop at night? I will burn paper money for you regularly every month."
Wu Ergou was still immersed in sorrow and didn't hear a word Ji Yu said.
"If a ghost comes, you should greet them first. If you have nothing to do, you might as well consider preparing to take the civil service exam in the underworld."
Wu Ergou finally responded.
"The Underworld still has exams?"
Ji Yu also heard it from the ghosts nearby.
"The underworld is overrun with ghosts now. Many ghosts have no descendants to burn paper money for them after they die, so they have to find some work in the underworld. Unfortunately, the positions are scarce, so every position in the underworld requires an exam unless you are a special ghost. As for the exam materials, you can go out and chat with the ghosts around you and find out clearly in advance."
Wu Ergou was confused. Why was the world after death so different from what he saw in his novels?
"By the way, what's your full name? Wu Ergou sounds a bit harsh."
"Wu Tiantian."
Ji Yu nodded: "Okay, Wu Tiantian, you take care of the store, and I will go upstairs to make money to burn paper money for you."

[Open the door, I know you are inside, why don’t you open the door. ]
【Late, late, the anchor is late. 】
Ji Yu looked at everyone apologetically and said, "Today we will draw four hexagrams. The last one is my apology to everyone."
[Sister, you might as well be late every day from now on.]
[Suddenly, I don't mind being late at all. Gossip, today is gossip. This means I have another chance.]
[I might not be drawn in the Four Trigrams, but I'm still curious about the talismans. Has anyone received their air conditioning talismans?]
[I got mine, and it works great, awesome.]
Mine has arrived too. It's really cool under the sun. Others are experiencing summer, while I'm experiencing autumn. Hahahahaha. It's so comfortable, and not expensive.
[Damn, I'm so tempted. I regret not grabbing it. Streamer, are you going to stock it up today?]
Ji Yu nodded: "Yes, another batch of air conditioning talismans will be delivered at midnight tonight. The quantity will be about 300 this time. It may be shipped later."
Fearing that the live broadcast room would start pushing for quantity, she immediately started the first video call of the day.
As soon as the video popped up, crying voices instantly rang out in the live broadcast room.
In the video, an aunt who looked to be in her thirties or forties was crying and patting her legs. When she saw that she had grabbed the connection, she spoke quickly while crying.
"Host, I don't know if this counts, but my child hasn't come back yet. He went out early in the morning, and it's past 8 o'clock in the evening and he still hasn't come back. I've been looking for him for more than two hours and still can't find him."
"Oh, that's not the case. I'll be out all day and probably won't be back until 11 or 12 at night."
[This parent's control is quite strong. It didn't take long for them to start looking for trouble.]
Ji Yu explained on behalf of the parents: "Because this aunt's child was abducted once before, but the child was very smart and tricked the traffickers. In the end, he slipped away to the police station and was fined."
When the aunt heard this, she excitedly said several times, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"Host, my name is Wang Xiu, and my son's name is He Chang."
"Hello, Aunt Xiu'er."
【Hahahahaha, Xiu'er, is that you?】
The comments were full of laughter. Poor Ji Yu, this antique who lived thousands of years ago, didn't get the joke. He just focused on calculating where He Chang was. Some people in the live broadcast room were not idle either.
[Aunt Xiu'er, what are your son's hobbies? Or does he have any close friends?]
"I've looked for him at friends and classmates' places, but he's not there. My son doesn't have any special hobbies, he just likes playing games. My family was afraid he'd get addicted, so we didn't buy him a phone or a computer. Unexpectedly, he's been going to internet cafes every day."
[This solves the case. Your son must be playing games in an internet cafe right now.]
"We checked every internet cafe in the county, but he wasn't there."
He even mistook someone for someone and slapped him in the face in a fit of rage. In the end, he had to pay several hundred dollars in compensation before the matter was resolved.
"Aunt Xiu'er, go back to the internet cafe where you and your husband mistakenly identified each other."
"Anchor, we've already looked for that company."
"I did look for him, but if I could have found the wrong person, I could have also not found him. That internet cafe has a front door and a back door. You asked your husband to block the back door."
[Sister, leave a way out for the child, hahaha.]
