Chapter 008: Street of the Dead
Qin Mengmeng was very sleepy, but she still sat down at the desk and made a list.
The second live broadcast was much more dull, and it might have seemed like some live broadcast effect in the eyes of the audience. After all, it seemed that the little ghost walked out of the bathroom for the first time and invaded the corridor belonging to the dormitory manager. Then a big fight broke out, which ended with the dormitory manager disappearing.
Qin Mengmeng really worked hard all night, mixing cement, painting walls and laying floor tiles. Her muscles were severely damaged, especially her arm muscles, which she could hardly lift.
However, even though Qin Mengmeng turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, it didn't mean that she gained nothing from this live broadcast.
She heard the dormitory manager calling the little ghost's name again.
It’s not Ma Chao, but Ma Chao level, “Chao” is the second tone.
In addition, the audience in the live broadcast room gave their own judgments after seeing Xiao Gui’s true appearance.
First of all, Xincheng High School is very special. The ghosts there don’t look like dead people.
This explains a few things. Qin Mengmeng had seen a gambler before, and he was basically a pool of rotten meat, which should be the appearance of a dead person.
But the little kid didn’t have it, and neither did the dorm manager.
Although Qin Mengmeng had never seen the little ghost, she had seen the dormitory manager before. The dormitory manager just had longer hair, was extremely thin, pale, and purple, and overall had the shape of a human.
All the ghosts in Xincheng High School should look more like living people.
Is this why ghosts have the same living preferences as humans? They prefer clean, tidy, and normal places to live...
There is one thing that doesn't make sense here.
AAA peach wholesaler said that the little girl looks good, but why is she not wearing any clothes?
That's strange.
From what Qin Mengmeng had observed so far, the little ghost was not weak, and he didn't like the bathroom he was in, so why didn't he go out and stay in a place he didn't like? Moreover, he was not wearing any clothes...
Qin Mengmeng had a vague premonition in her heart, but it still needed further verification.
She wrote down today's schedule on a piece of paper and looked back at the app.
After two live broadcasts, she now has three incense sticks and two thousand four hundred good karmas.
The second live broadcast only received a little help from the hound. The good karma did increase rapidly, but Qin Mengmeng still didn’t know what the thing was used for.
"First, sleep!"
Qin Mengmeng pulled the blackout curtains, set the alarm clock, adjusted the volume to maximum, and then placed it two meters away from her bed.
I slept until two in the afternoon.
Listening to the shrill ghost cries, she struggled to get up, opened the door sleepily and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Qin Chuan leaned against her door frame.
Qin Mengmeng came to her senses immediately and subconsciously slammed the door shut.
Qin Chuan didn't knock on the door, didn't speak, didn't say a word.
But Qin Mengmeng opened the door again two minutes later, and Qin Chuan was still leaning against the door playing with his phone.
Qin Mengmeng was horrified.
She really felt that this scene was more terrifying than the mysterious disappearance of the dormitory manager during yesterday's live broadcast.
Qin Mengmeng swallowed her anger and said, "Why are you standing here like an idiot? Are you acting out ghost stories for no reason?"
Qin Chuan slid the screen of his mobile phone, selected two pictures, and turned them over to show Qin Mengmeng.
"You took out that garbage bag yesterday. Where did you throw it if you didn't throw it in the trash can downstairs? The garbage bags at home are all bought by me. They look different from other people's bags. If you really threw it downstairs, it would be easy to recognize it."
Qin Mengmeng: “…”
"Are you really going to go through the trash can?!"
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "You didn't even mop the bedroom floor after taking a shower, and you actually remembered to throw away the garbage?"
Qin Chuan pressed on: "What's inside?"
Qin Mengmeng said calmly: "My sex toy."
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said firmly: "You are kidding me! I can smell such a strong smell of blood! What is going on!"
Qin Mengmeng was so angry that she said, "I'm having my period."
Qin Chuan was not ashamed at all: "I didn't even open the big package of sanitary napkins in the bathroom."
Qin Mengmeng stretched out her hand and pushed him away: "Get lost, I don't want to bother with you."
Qin Chuan asked again: "You didn't come back the night before yesterday, and you didn't come back last night either. What were you doing?"
Qin Mengmeng sneered: "I went to spend the night with my boyfriend."
Qin Chuan seemed to be thinking about something. "Who is it? The new city is so small. If you tell me the name, I'm sure we all know it. Can you tell me about it?"
Qin Mengmeng was so blocked that she was speechless.
After graduation, Qin Chuan returned to his hometown to develop his career and was familiar with everyone in the new city, but Qin Mengmeng rarely went home unless it was necessary. For a while, she couldn't even think of a man of the right age in the new city.
Qin Mengmeng rolled her eyes: "Get lost! I tell you Qin Chuan, you are really ridiculous."
Qin Chuan sneered: "What's so ridiculous about me? I won't...! I have never spent a million on medical expenses in one go."
Qin Mengmeng really couldn't be angry with him. She actually understood why Qin Chuan was so nervous.
He worried that she would commit suicide.
She rubbed her face, lowered her head, and said, "Please get out of the way first. I'm going to wash my face. You can drive me to buy a mobile phone later."
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Qin Mengmeng brushed her teeth and stared at the mirror in the bathroom. In the mirror was a dark and thin adult woman with broken eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and drooping lip corners. She was just an ordinary woman walking on the street.
But only her closest people, Qin Chuan and their parents, knew about it.
If you take off her clothes, you can see dense stitches and countless surgical scars.
She could go straight to Silent Hill as an actress after taking off her clothes.
An ordinary person would surely die if he jumped from the sixth floor. Some unlucky people would die if they jumped from the second floor and their heads hit the ground.
Qin Mengmeng fell from a height of ten floors.
But still alive.
It only took half a month in the ICU, twelve operations, and countless tears.
The memory of that incident was already blurry, and Qin Mengmeng had even completely forgotten the cause and effect. She recovered well after the operation, and soon walked out of the pain, striding forward without looking back.
But Qin Chuan was completely destroyed.
Destroyed in every way.
Qin Mengmeng couldn't blame him.
She went downstairs and saw Qin Chuan wearing a helmet and riding an electric bike. Their family had a Dongfeng truck, a pickup truck, and an electric bike.
Qin Mengmeng let the small truck go out, and Qin Dashan drove the big truck out to work and had not come back yet, so only the electric car was left.
Qin Mengmeng took a helmet and sat on the back seat of Qin Chuan's electric car, pretending that what happened before had never happened, and said loudly: "Let's go to that experience store that sells mobile phones and computers."
"Don't you want to buy a cell phone?" Qin Chuan's voice was a little unclear through the helmet and the wind.
Qin Mengmeng patted his helmet: "Louder!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a cell phone?! I know someone who sells cell phones, they're cheap there."
"Let's go to the experience store!" Qin Mengmeng said, "I hate doing business with people I know. Saving a little money is not as good as the trouble. And I might want to buy a tablet."
“Why buy a tablet?”
"Why the hell do you care so much? You're almost as talkative as that guy. Drive faster!" Qin Mengmeng patted Qin Chuan's helmet again.
Qin Mengmeng originally bought a mobile phone with the intention of bringing it to the live broadcast room.
The mobile phone she usually uses was occupied by the live broadcast room as soon as it started broadcasting, and even a calculator could not be used. She had to calculate how to cut the floor tiles in her head yesterday, which made the audience in the live broadcast room laugh for a while.
Even if the new phone cannot connect to the Internet, functions such as calculator, flashlight, and notepad are still useful.
You can also download some information in advance and store it on it, so you can view it even when the Internet is disconnected.
But Qin Mengmeng soon thought that the tablet seemed to have all these functions, and the screen was bigger and more suitable.
“Don’t buy a phone anymore, buy a tablet!”
"How much is the tablet?" Qin Chuan asked.
Qin Mengmeng said: "It's all fine, as long as it works."
She is not worried about the money issue for the time being. After graduation, she worked on a construction site for two years without much rest and saved up 240,000 yuan. Yesterday, she spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy materials for Xiao Gui, and still has more than 200,000 yuan left.
Qin Chuan said: "Then you don't need to buy Apple's. Apple's are expensive. Just buy Xiaomi's."
After buying the tablet, Qin Mengmeng asked Qin Chuan to find a place to sell incense and candles. She had not returned to the new city for seven years since she started college, and she really didn't know where to buy these things.
It has to be Qin Chuan. He has been back from college for three years and is considered a real local boss.
Thinking of this, Qin Mengmeng suddenly had an idea.
"Qin Chuan, do you know Xincheng High School?"
Qin Chuan actually knew it.
"You mean the vocational high school on Changning Street?"
“Vocational high school?!”
Qin Chuan arrived at the place, stopped his electric car, took off his helmet, and the sound became much clearer.
"Inside is a shop selling incense and candles. There are also people selling funeral clothes, making paper figurines, and tombstones on this street."
"Yes, Xincheng High School is that vocational high school. You have been a good student since childhood, so you can go to any of the first, second and third high schools. I guess you don't even know that there is a vocational high school in Xincheng."
“Xincheng Vocational High School.”
"It sounds bad to call it vocational high school, so we call it Xincheng High School for a better sound. Our second uncle's son went to school there before."
Qin Mengmeng wondered, "We still have a second uncle?"
"My grandmother's sister's son went there for dinner before. It doesn't matter if you don't know him, they know you anyway."
Qin Mengmeng raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you have to go to that vocational high school with me later."
Qin Chuan said, "Okay."
This street, which specializes in the dead body business, is near the Xincheng Second People's Hospital.
Qin Mengmeng originally just wanted to buy some incense and a pendant to light herself, to see if she could get some incense.
As a result, there is so much business here.
As soon as she saw a paper villa placed in front of the paper figurine shop, she couldn't help but walk in.
"How much is this villa?"
The shop owner was a wizened old man: "Two hundred."
"Can I try it out?"
"Just watch."
Qin Mengmeng finished reading it and felt itchy. She took out her phone and said, "Where's the QR code? I want to buy one."
Qin Chuan followed behind her and was shocked: "Why did you buy a paper villa? Who will live in it?"
"Of course it's for ghosts to live in. How can it be used by people to live in it?"
