"My fifth brother isn't afraid at all; he was just..."
Thinking of the wicked thing hidden inside her fifth brother's body, Qiqi pursed her lips and didn't say it directly.
It's not the right time yet.
She's playing the long game!
Otherwise, if the other party escapes, she will hardly have a chance to capture him all at once.
"Qiqi, who have you been talking to?" Ji Jinyou was incredibly curious when he heard her talking to thin air and mentioning him.
But for some reason, he felt a cold wind blowing past him several times, making his legs feel as weak as noodles.
Qiqi: "With the old man."
"What old man?" Ji Jinyou looked left and right, but he really couldn't find the so-called old man.
The old man floated right up to him and waved in a friendly manner. "Hey, little guy, it's me! Don't you remember me?"
Ji Jinyou couldn't see it, but he could feel that cold wind coming again, and this time the cold air seemed to be standing still right in front of him.
Qiqi sighed, reached into her bag, and pulled out a bottle.
Open it, pour out the contents, and then apply it to Ji Jinyou's eyelids.
Ji Jinyou felt a chill on his eyelids, and when he opened his eyes again, he found a pale, bloodless face in front of him, with a mouth stretched to the back of his ears, and a gaping maw that seemed capable of swallowing his entire head.
Most importantly, the face looked somewhat familiar to him.
"Grandpa Jiang? It's you!"
Ji Jinyou first greeted him politely and even bowed to him.
"Oh, little guy, you still remember me?" Grandpa Jiang was a little happy.
When he was alive, he liked the Ji family boys the most. If he ran into them while taking a walk, he would always hug and play with them, and give them some snacks.
They were all incredibly beautiful and very well-behaved.
Even the most mischievous fourth son of the Ji family is a well-behaved and polite child.
However, the boy was only a few years old when he died.
Children are forgetful. I thought he must have been forgotten long ago, but I was surprised that he still remembered.
Ji Jinyou nodded, "Of course I remember. Grandpa Jiang used to love bringing me peach shortbread made by the family's maids."
"That's right, that's right!" Grandpa Jiang nodded excitedly.
Unfortunately, the movement was too large, and his head fell off with a thud.
It just rolled over and landed at Ji Jinyou's feet.
Ji Jinyou was stunned, looking at the round head that was opening and closing its mouth as if talking to him.
"Oh dear, young man of the Ji family, don't be afraid. I'm getting old, and all my parts are a bit rotten and unreliable. Please don't mind me!"
He should have kept quiet, because as soon as he did, Ji Jinyou screamed "Ah!" and his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
"Fifth Brother!" Qiqi immediately reached out to support him.
Grandpa Jiang was startled. Why did he suddenly faint?
"No, little girl, I didn't do it on purpose. That brain of yours is rotten and can't hold up properly, so don't blame me!"
I never expected that this kid from the Ji family, who usually seems so brave, would be so easily scared!
Qiqi glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, if you can't keep your head up, you shouldn't be running around like this. What if you scare people? Look, you scared my fifth brother so much he fainted!"
Grandpa Jiang was stunned. Hey, this little girl, why is she turning the tables on me?
"If you don't grant him the ability to see ghosts, he won't be able to see me, so how can I scare him?"
He wanted to scare only the little girl.
The result wasn't scary at all!
Not only were they not scared, but now they have to take the blame!
Qiqi widened her eyes, "Even if it doesn't scare people, it's not good to scare the flowers and plants by the roadside! Besides, my fifth brother can't see because he has strong yang energy and a good destiny. What if he encounters someone with low yang energy and a bad destiny?"
"Then let's talk about their own problems!"
Qiqi was speechless.
It's true that the older people get, the less reasonable they become!
"Grandpa, you're already dead, why don't you go to the underworld to be reincarnated? Why do you still stay in the human world to scare people? Is there any wish you haven't fulfilled?"
It's one thing for them to scare people themselves, but they've also gathered so many ghosts together to have a rave party at home and scare people together!
Grandpa Jiang nodded. "I did have a wish, but I didn't have the chance to fulfill it. The main reason I stayed here is because of the lake behind my house."
The Jiang family villa is located next to a lake, which was artificially excavated by the developer. Later, fresh water was introduced and lotus flowers were planted, gradually turning it into a beautiful scenic spot in the vicinity.
Many people came to admire the lotus flowers, and with so many people, there were bound to be more accidents.
Ever since the first person accidentally fell into the lake and drowned, there have been frequent reports of people accidentally falling in.
“Little girl, every single one of the ghosts you saw drowned in the lake.”
Grandpa Jiang pointed to the group of ghosts jumping around in his living room, "You know, water ghosts can't be reincarnated if they can't find a substitute. But with so many people, how many new deaths would it take for them all to be reincarnated in the underworld!"
"So I had no choice but to gather them here. And then scare the people who come to admire the flowers nearby, so that no one else will fall like them!"
"Little girl, we all mean well, I really didn't mean to scare you..."
"Wait a minute..." Qiqi suddenly interrupted, pointing to the group of people in the living room, "Grandpa, are you saying that they are all water ghosts who fell into the lake and drowned?"
Grandpa Jiang nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, don't take advantage of my young age. Water ghosts are a type of earthbound spirit, and they can't come out of the water if they can't find a substitute."
Qiqi pointed to the group of ghosts who moved freely and could even dance together, "Look at them again, do they look even a little like earthbound spirits?"
"Furthermore, in the waters where water ghosts reside, once a new dead ghost appears, the previous water ghosts are freed from the earthbound curse and can go to the underworld to line up for reincarnation. How could so many possibly accumulate?"
"Furthermore, water ghosts are always soaking wet, okay? Do you see them all drenched?"
Grandpa Jiang: ...
Huh?
So there are so many rules to be followed when becoming a ghost?
It was his first time playing a ghost, so he wasn't very skilled and didn't know many things!
"But they really did drown in the lake behind!"
Seeing that Qiqi didn't seem to believe him, Grandpa Jiang quickly said, "I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, ask them!"
Qiqi looked towards the group of ghosts.
The group of ghosts nodded quickly, confirming Grandpa Jiang's statement.
Qiqi: ……
So, where exactly did things go wrong?
Qiqi glanced at her fifth brother, then at the water ghosts who were clearly not water ghosts.
After a long pause, an important decision was made!
"Whatever, Grandpa Jiang, I'm hungry, I want to go home for dinner!"
