Chapter 178 Be careful with your behavior
Nearing midnight.
Chen Chunxing squatted in the dark backyard, holding his hands and feet helplessly.
Then.
After being blown by the breeze a few times, he sneezed in a very embarrassing way.
Liu Sanlang, who had just been released from the token space, was sprayed in the face.
He comforted himself in his heart, feeling wronged. He couldn't touch it, couldn't touch it, nothing was beyond his reach...
"Saucy!" Chen Chunxing rubbed his nose shyly.
This damn place is hot during the day and too cool at night.
In order not to disturb her family, she always had to wait until the middle of the night before sneaking into the backyard.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but after a long time... it's inevitable to feel depressed.
She secretly swore in her heart that as long as the fish she caught this time was big enough, she would push the yard away and build a three-entry house!
It wouldn’t be too much to have a yard of my own by then, right?
"What's Saury?"
Chen Chunxing had come into contact with so many ghosts recently that he almost forgot that Liu Sanlang did not come from the modern era.
But it's no big deal.
Liu Sanlang, perhaps noticing the spark in her eyes, hurriedly and attentively opened the camphorwood box and asked mysteriously, "Girl, guess who I just met?"
"Who?" Chen Chunxing responded insincerely.
His eyes moved quickly over the items in the box, silently estimating their value.
When she saw a stack of banknotes, her eyes lit up and she picked it up.
Chen Chunxing counted them and found eight bills of fifty, three bills of one hundred, and one bill of five hundred...those items were actually insignificant.
The little girl was so happy that she almost cried.
As expected, working hard for half a lifetime is not as good as robbing for an hour!
Bah, it's better to rob the rich and help the poor...
Seeing her smile, Liu Sanlang took advantage of the situation and announced another piece of good news: "I met Mrs. Li at the Jichang Pharmacy!"
"Mrs. Li? Which Mrs. Li..." Chen Chunxing was rummaging through the small wooden box when he heard this. He paused mid-sentence and raised his head with a strange expression, "Old hag? Is she sick again?"
The last time I was in Yangjiatun, I encountered a "buried alive" scene.
Later, Li dragged her sick body to the door of Yang's house and threw a tantrum, demanding her two "good sons" back.
Now that the Li brothers were willing to send her to Jichang Pharmacy for treatment, she couldn't help but be surprised.
That place is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Liu Sanlang affirmed, "Not only is he sick, he's dying."
"She looks like she's had a fever. It's not a terminal illness, so it wouldn't have lasted that long... That Jichang Pharmacy is truly a ruthless group that takes human life lightly. Your actions, young lady, are truly righteous!"
The latter sentence has a bit of a flattering meaning.
How could Chen Chunxing not know what he was thinking?
"Don't flatter me. I'm tired of hearing that. You've been helping me for a while now, so keep your word... I can give you a body, but there's one condition..."
Liu Sanlang's face lit up with joy, and he readily agreed: "Don't even mention one condition, even if it's a hundred! I, Old Liu, won't say no! The young lady is my adopted parent, and from now on, I will just follow the young lady around... Oh, look at my stupid mouth... I'm working under the young lady!"
In ancient times, this statement was somewhat frivolous. Before he finished speaking, he slapped himself in the face, showing a very good attitude.
Chen Chunxing waved his hand, really unable to bear the artificial attitude, "Okay, then add a few more conditions."
Liu Sanlang was stunned.
"First of all, although I have given you a body, it is still different from that of an ordinary person. It can only be considered an entity... From the inside out, you are still yourself. Think carefully and don't do anything."
"If you get hurt, be careful that you might be reborn with missing arms and legs in your next life."
Liu Sanlang was a little scared when he heard this, but after touching his stomach, he swallowed his saliva in a helpless manner.
As long as I can eat, I don’t care about anything else... just be happy.
"Secondly, you can only stay with me for a year at most. Don't interrupt! Just listen to me!"
"Being a ghost is different from being a human. Without offerings, your soul will eventually fly away. If you absorb the essence of others, you will turn into a fierce ghost again."
"Anyway, it's a bad thing. This year is already a benefit given to you by our underworld. If you can survive, survive. If not, go away... There are many ghosts down there who want this opportunity."
Liu Sanlang waved his hands vigorously to show that he had no objection.
Who dares to challenge the underworld? Be careful, you might be reborn as a chicken in your next life...
Chen Chunxing nodded with satisfaction, "Finally, your face needs to be replaced."
"Can the face be changed?" Liu Sanlang really couldn't help it this time.
"Why not? If I run into someone I know from the Duke's Mansion in the future, I can't just say you're Old Liu's twin brother, right?" Chen Chunxing shrugged. "Don't worry, it's just a little magic."
She stood on tiptoe and slapped Liu Sanlang on the forehead: "Go!"
The token on the wrist emitted a green light.
A thin layer of mist wrapped around Liu Sanlang's whole body, especially lingering on his face.
When the mist dissipated, Liu Sanlang had already turned into a solid body, a middle-aged man with an honest appearance.
Compared with his previous appearance, he looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"Be a good person and try to atone for your sins as soon as possible, or you'll end up as a prostitute in your next life."
“…”
When Liu Sanlang looked at the chicken coop, his interest suddenly faded.
I strongly doubt that she was reluctant to give up this meal.
After instructing Liu Sanlang to temporarily move the camphorwood box to the firewood room, Chen Chunxing yawned and sent him to Doctor Chang's yard.
There are a lot of ghosts there, and there are topics to talk about.
For example, you could ask Lao Wang what the Eighteen Levels of Hell are like...
As for herself, she climbed onto the bed with squinting eyes, and Zhixia hugged her arm.
When he was about to fall asleep, Chen Chunxing realized belatedly, "Oh, Mrs. Li, hey, it's this unlucky guy again... huhuhuhu..."
——
As a ghost, Liu Sanlang had long been marked by Chen Chunxing. In addition, Lao Bai had previously added some special functions to her token, so she could now be summoned by him from a hundred miles away.
She planned all this with the intention of cooperating with Xue Yongan to eliminate the biggest hidden danger in Honglu County, but she did not expect to get an unexpected gain.
At this time, inside Jichang Pharmacy.
Flames shot up into the sky.
Tian Wanglin's face turned grim as he ordered people to fetch water to put out the fire.
The people nearby had already come to help spontaneously.
The summer is dry, especially in the wilderness. A small spark could burn down an entire village, so they dared not just stand there and watch.
"Sir, the civilians have been transferred to the government office. Fortunately, there are no major casualties... only an old woman, who is suspected to have been buried alive."
The county magistrate, who had rolled up his sleeves and was holding a bucket in one hand, snorted coldly.
"Buried alive? What you see with your eyes may not be true... Otherwise, what's the point of having a coroner?"
But he never stopped, carrying water to put out the fire.
When the people nearby saw this, they all praised it in their hearts.
It is truly a blessing for Honglu County that County Magistrate Xiao Xue can be so humble!
Maybe... I can try to look forward to the good days ahead?
Some people looked towards the city wall, hesitant.
