Chapter 32: Thank you teammates for your support
The two met in the underworld and met for the first time at the Naihe Bridge. They then formed a team together and signed up to become trainee ghost messengers.
Three years and three years.
They have already developed a tacit understanding with each other.
The strong will to survive made Xue Yongan raise his hands.
"My personality is very different from the owner of this body. I follow the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, so I've never cared about the outside world."
"I have seen you before, but firstly, we were far away, and secondly, I didn't dare to look closely at other girls...Even when our eyes met just now, I just felt that you looked alike, but I didn't dare to confirm it."
"I definitely didn't mean to deny you on purpose!"
"Besides... I'm so old and my girlfriend is gone, am I not more anxious than you?"
Chen Chunxing chuckled and emphasized it in a very disrespectful way.
"Not yet, my intern boyfriend."
If it were in the past, Xue Yongan would have had his ears reddened by being teased like this by his beloved, but now, facing a girl who was much shorter than him, he moved aside uncomfortably.
"How old are you now?"
Hearing this silly question, Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Anyway, she's still a long way from adulthood, so she can only be a maid, not a concubine."
The man who usually remained calm in front of outsiders lost his temper and blushed, almost retreating into a corner.
"This time it really has become an internship..."
The two talked for a while and compared each other's experiences. They found that Xue Yongan had jumped only half an hour later, which was a full two years' gap.
Being reborn into a newly dead body is against common sense, but since Lao Bai didn't mention it, it means that the underworld has already tacitly agreed to it.
Finally, Chen Chunxing happily gave a summary.
"Let's just treat it as an early vacation. Life is full of uncertainty, so it's not a big deal."
When she thought she came to this small world alone, she was still able to keep calm. Now that she found that her teammates never left her, she felt a rare sense of relief.
Back then, at the Naihe Bridge, among the crowd of ghosts, only this one was floating alone in the corner... I really have a keen eye!
"Sister, grandma wants to ask you what to do with that fish!"
Just as he was feeling proud, he heard Shen Mingqiu's voice coming from outside, and Shen Chunxing immediately replied.
"You can roast it, fry it, or stew it. It's so big, it's enough to make more than a dozen dishes."
Shen Mingqiu tried to shout at the top of his lungs: "It's so complicated, you have to handle it. Grandma said she can't do it!"
“…”
After the excitement, Chen Chunxing finally regained his senses and instantly understood what the brat meant - he just couldn't stay in the carriage.
"I'll bring you some fish later."
She patted Xue Yongan on the shoulder and stood up to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Do you have any salt here?"
"Really?" Xue Yongan wasn't sure.
Chen Chunxing held his forehead with his hand and said, "Let me ask you one more question. Do you know how much you are worth now?"
Xue Yongan pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.
He had never thought about preserving this identity, so naturally he had never cared about those things. Now that she asked him about it, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency... the urgency of supporting his family!
"I'll go down with you and take a look."
Shen Mingqiu, who was waiting outside, heard some gossip and saw the two people get off the car one after another. He almost gritted his teeth and said sarcastically, "I won't bother the county magistrate anymore!"
"Speak properly," Chen Chunxing patted him on the head and introduced him casually, "This is my third child, and he will be your younger brother from now on."
Shen Mingqiu instantly took a breath of cold air.
This is going too far...
Xue Yongan had just put on a kind smile when he saw Shen Mingqiu look up and glare at him, then quickly turned and ran away.
He touched his face hurriedly.
"Did I just smile ugly?"
"No...it's more natural than before."
What Chen Chunxing said is the truth.
He used to be a famous person with expressionless face in the underworld, but now he has changed into a younger person, and has more of the delicate and frail air of a scholar.
"By the way, how old are you?"
Xue Yongan closed his eyes and calculated, but still wasn't quite sure: "Should be, just turned seventeen?"
"...Do you think the old emperor looks like a fool?"
She didn’t know who to complain about first among the Seventeen County Magistrates.
Xue Yongan helplessly spread his hands and said, "It's true. This person passed the examination for a Tongsheng at the age of thirteen, passed the Ju (imperial examination) at sixteen, and passed the Jinshi examination the following spring. He's quite famous in the capital, and seems to be the youngest Jinshi ever produced here."
Chen Chunxing paused, completely astonished. "So he's a genius? How could he be sent to the border to be a small county magistrate?"
Xue Yong soothed his chin, "I really haven't figured this out yet. To be honest, I still have headaches from time to time. This body must have suffered a severe brain injury."
"I only vaguely remember seeing it," he glanced at Chen Chunxing and said cautiously, "During the palace examination, this person was scolded by the old emperor."
Chen Chunxing: “…”
"Is it too late for me to regret now?"
"It's too late! You can't just throw me back into the Wangchuan River, right? It would pollute the environment..." Xue Yongan hurriedly took two steps, jumped over Chen Chunxing, and stretched out his hand to Diao, "Let me do it! Killing fish is my job!"
Diao only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes. She didn't see clearly what it was, and the kitchen knife in her hand disappeared.
I was horrified.
"What the hell? How dare you attack your grandmother? Quick, grab it for me... burp!"
When Diao saw clearly who was killing the fish by the tree stump, he burped loudly and completely forgot what he was about to say.
What the hell is this?
"You two..." Diao looked at Chen Chunxing stupidly, then suddenly reached out like lightning, tightly grasped her arm, and whispered, "Did you drug him?"
"With such a good thing, why would I use it on him?" Chen Chunxing asked with a smile.
"That's right..." Diao suddenly let go.
According to my granddaughter's personality, if she doesn't want to, she can just poke the sky open. Why use all these messy methods?
But what was happening before my eyes was too outrageous.
Ever since Xue Yongan got off the carriage, everyone's eyes had been following him secretly. When they saw him snatch the kitchen knife, they were excited, thinking that they would see something exciting, but...that was it?
"If I had known that Magistrate Xue was so caring, why would we have bothered so much?"
Mrs. Jiang Si's eyes were already glowing red.
"...I'm not sure, let's see... there must be some conspiracy behind this."
Under the gaze of his clansmen, Mr. Jiang Si quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
