Chapter 223 Where is the promised money?
Lin Xi held Shen Sang Ning in her arms. After the elevator doors opened, she carried her all the way to Room 403, to the master bedroom, and laid her on the bed. Lin Xi fetched some water, wet a towel, and began to wipe Shen Sang Ning's body bit by bit.
In fact, Shen Sangning's current state is quite terrifying. Although it looks like half of her body has been cut off, the cut in the middle is not a smooth flesh color, but a very scary darkness. It is pitch black inside, and there are other things surging, just like a swamp, no one knows what will come out from the bottom.
After consuming so many ghosts and money, Shen Sangning's cross-section also changed slightly. Tiny black tentacles stretched out from inside, striving to expand outward. Lin Xi looked at the scene before him, but did not find it terrifying.
Shen Sang Ning fought for her, and was seriously injured and became like this because of her. Lin Xi didn't feel scared, but felt that her heart was full of heartache.
Lin Xi used a towel to wipe Shen Sang Ning's body. In fact, it would not make Shen Sang Ning clean, but she felt that this would make Shen Sang Ning more comfortable. After wiping her body, Lin Xi changed into pajamas and lay down next to Shen Sang Ning.
While the two were sleeping soundly, the things that Shen Sangning had eaten were working hard to repair her body. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Lin Xi leaning against her with her eyes closed and a peaceful sleeping face.
Shen Sangning's heart became soft. As long as Lin Xi was by her side, no problem would enter her mind.
After becoming a ghost, it was hard to have this feeling of "having a good sleep". She slept comfortably and couldn't help stretching. Perhaps because she noticed the movement of the people around her, Lin Xi also opened her eyes. She looked at Shen Sang Ning and immediately smiled with her eyes bent: "Ning Ning, are you awake?"
Lin Xi immediately perked up and checked Shen Sang Ning's condition first. When she found that she was fine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's great, I'm glad Ningning is okay."
The two got up from the bed. Lin Xi's stomach was growling with hunger, so she went to the kitchen to cook noodles. What she made was simple, just clear soup noodles. But the base was carefully made, and she added two spoons of chili sauce. The noodles were really cooked, with a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of oyster sauce, and a little sesame oil.
Then mix the noodles and soup evenly, top with green leafy vegetables, poached eggs and chili sauce, and you have a delicious noodle dish.
Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning finished their noodles, and Jia interrupted: "Someone came to see you while you were sleeping."
Wow, this house has a smart housekeeper and surveillance, so they know when someone comes to look for them. Lin Xi asked her family to put the video of someone looking for them when they were asleep on the big TV in the living room. Don’t mention it, there are really a lot of people looking for them. Brother Sun Ke came with Xiao Gu, but judging from their aggressive appearance, they must be here to settle accounts.
Brother Sun Ke was fine, but Xiao Gu lost one leg and came here on crutches.
She knocked on the door so loudly, which was somewhat uncivilized. Xiaogu was beside her to remind her: "Room 404 next door is reporter Ye's home, but brother, please keep your voice down."
"What are you afraid of? Reporter Ye is dead, what can he do to me?" Although he said so, Sun Kege obviously lowered his voice and became a little timid. She knocked on the door again and called Lin Xi to let her out, insisting on giving Xiaogu's leg a wave of compensation.
But Linxi and Shen Sangning were sleeping so soundly that their family would definitely not open the door. So Brother Sun Ke knocked for a long time but to no avail, so he had to take Xiaogu and leave again.
The next video is of Principal Di and Teacher Gao. The two came side by side. Teacher Gao was much more polite than Sun Kege, worthy of being a teacher. Teacher Gao knocked for a while, and when he felt that no one was there, he turned around and asked Principal Di, "Is he not home?"
Principal Di shook his head: "Maybe they are too tired and are resting. We will come back to thank them next time."
Oh, this isn’t about asking them for compensation, that’s a good thing.
The next part is about the driver ghost. He sneaked to the door, knocked on it a few times, and then whispered, "Are you guys home? Where is the labor fee you promised to give me? My bus is already missing a lot. If you don't give me the labor fee, the bus will eat me up!"
Seeing no one answering the door, the driver knocked again unwillingly, with a tearful tone in his voice: "The bus company will definitely give me trouble if you do this! Besides, half of the bus is gone, and I can't go to work. Do you know how I picked them up before? The bus worked hard and rolled over slowly on its front two wheels!"
Lin Xi thought of the scene the driver ghost described. For some reason, it was really funny. And if you think about it carefully, it would be difficult for a half-broken bus to block the attack of the white ghost in the white fog. Maybe it was because of Brother Sun Ke that they barely took the person to their residence.
As the driver ghost spoke, he started to cry out of grievance, but seeing that Lin Xi and the others were unmoved, he could only wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and walked away slowly.
It's easy to imagine that when he returns, he will definitely be criticized by the bus company, who will say that he is a useless person and can't even get his labor fee back.
But what did any of this have to do with Lin Xi? The driver ghost would come back to ask for his wages anyway, and Lin Xi had no intention of leaving the driver ghost with nothing. If he came back to ask for it, Lin Xi would still give it to him.
The last video was of He Sitong. She came with Lin Lin. Lin Xi guessed that they should live in the staff dormitory area inside the school. The environment there is indeed better than the funeral home. These two knocked the softest. He Sitong knocked twice and found that no one answered, so she knew that Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning must be sleeping.
She was quite patient with Lin Lin. If she went to the school dungeon as a teacher or parent, she would definitely be able to pass it. He Sitong squatted down and kept at the same height as Lin Lin before speaking: "Lin Lin, Sister Xi and Sister Ning Ning haven't woken up yet. Let's go back first and come back later."
Lin Lin nodded obediently: "Okay, let's go back first."
After watching all the videos, Lin Xi finally had time to ask Jia: "How long have we been sleeping?"
The time on the TV was displayed: "It's been 21 hours."
"..." Lin Xi really didn't expect that she and Shen Sang Ning could sleep for so long. Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning looked at each other and both smiled. They stayed at home for a long time, and didn't get up until the next morning and went out to find He Sitong and the others.
But the first person he encountered was not He Sitong or other living people, but the driver of bus No. 4. He was standing at the bus platform at the entrance of Linxi's community, next to him was a bus No. 4 that was only half broken. Just as the ghost driver said, the bus No. 4 could only roll forward with difficulty relying on the two front wheels.
Thanks to the fact that this is a world of rules and strange stories, everything is made of energy, otherwise the broken end of the No. 4 bus would have been dragged to the ground. Now, the No. 4 bus defies gravity and stands upright.
Seeing Lin Xi coming over, the driver's eyes lit up immediately. He said, "You're here! Where's the wages you promised me? I'm really short of money right now. Look at the bus, it's in such a state. I almost lost it too! It's unreasonable for you not to pay me."
"How can I give you less?" Lin Xi was immediately furious. Money, money, money. He wanted money as soon as they met. Look at how stingy and worthless the driver ghost was. She is the ghost king. How can she give driver ghost those two ugly guys less?
"Then give me the money quickly!"
The driver's words choked Lin Xi. The main reason was that she really had no money now.
Lin Xi glanced at Shen Sang Ning. All the remaining money was given to Shen Sang Ning, and she had no money left. But under Lin Xi's gaze, Shen Sang Ning also turned her head to the side, pretending to be looking at the scenery.
Lin Xi knew about this situation. He was not the only one who became a pauper. All of Shen Sangning's money had been consumed.
Well, the funeral home also has no money. She took money too quickly these two times, and the funeral home can't pay at all. They have to wait until next month. But the driver was right in front of her, and his covetous look made Lin Xi unable to move. His eyes clearly said: You don't have no money, do you?
How could she, the ghost king who rules the world of strange stories and the savior of the real world, be looked down upon by a mere ghost who is a No. 4 bus driver!
After struggling for a long time, Lin Xi felt that she couldn't let her face fall to the ground like this. She replied to the driver: "Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon." She held Shen Sang Ning's hand and turned around and left.
That resolute attitude almost made the driver ghost think that Lin Xi was going to run away with Shen Sang Ning. Maybe she couldn't afford the money and wanted to temporarily settle herself here and then move? Just when the driver ghost was thinking about it, he saw Lin Xi pulling Shen Sang Ning into the store next to the community gate.
Hey, he couldn't possibly be trying to buy something to appease himself, could he? He wouldn't be easily swayed by such petty gains!
After Lin Xi brought Chen Sang Ning into the store, she didn't even turn around to the shelves, but went straight to the cashier. The cashier was still the same one, and when she saw Lin Xi, she forced a stiff smile on her face.
In other words, she didn't know the salesperson at the convenience store next to Aoki Psychiatric Hospital, otherwise she would have a lot in common with him.
Faced with these two menacing men, the saleswoman could only diligently ask, "Hello, what would you like to buy?"
Lin Xi looked at Shen Sangning, who seemed a little hesitant, as if her upbringing had made it difficult for her to do anything that went too far against public order and morality. But in reality, a hint of excitement flickered in Shen Sangning's eyes.
Chen Sang Ning is such a hypocrite. She is obviously very excited, but she still pretends to be reserved.
Lin Xi saw through Shen Sang Ning's heart, so she was full of energy and did what she had wanted to do to the saleswoman for a long time. Lin Xi first coughed a few times to moisten her throat, and then said to the saleswoman: "Please note, we are not here to buy anything."
In the confused eyes of the salesgirl, she saw Lin Xi in front of her slap the cash register, support her waist with her other hand, and lean towards her.
"Listen carefully! We are here to rob you! Hand over all your money!"
