Chapter 10 Why are there ghosts (2)
No matter the cost, he wanted to keep Lou Sheng by his side. This was Ying Zhisheng's secret, even his agent, who had known him for many years, was unaware of it.
Ying Zhisheng told Zhang Kaifa: "It was very windy that night and there were cracks in the windows. It might be that Lou Sheng was fighting with a ghost."
"We were just fighting," Zhang Kaifa said confidently. "I placed Lou Sheng's ashes next to the Grandmaster, and my fellow apprentices and I chanted sutras day and night, until we made the Grandmaster angry. Look, I lost a tooth. It was because the Grandmaster was angry and I fell down the stairs. Your five million is really hard to earn."
"I told you that as soon as Lou Sheng shows up, he'll definitely be targeted by the surrounding big ghosts. But there's no need to worry about that. He just happens to be hungry, so the big ghosts will fill his stomach."
Ying Zhisheng looked across at the shrewd middle-aged man across from him, his sunglasses and hat removed, his stardom all too clear. It was as if his soul had left his body, becoming a bystander. He knew the consequences of being associated with these quacks and Taoist priests, and if they were exposed, he resolutely and without hesitation or regret, continued down this path.
Ying Zhisheng stroked the snake bracelet on his wrist and whispered, "Think of a way. I want to see him."
"You want to see the ghost next to you?" Zhang Kaifa looked at the celebrity with a strange look. Ying Zhisheng had been with him for so many years. Every time he went to a big mall, he saw this face on the big screen. He couldn't understand why someone with such a life configuration would be obsessed with a dead person.
Ying Zhisheng, of course, knew what the other person was thinking. He interrupted coldly, "Yes, I want to see him. You just need to tell me if there is any way to do it."
"Of course there is a way!" Zhang Kaifa was happy to cooperate with such a wealthy employer. "Give me three days, and I'll let you see the person you've been thinking about with your own eyes."
After a pause, his conscience came to his head and he offered a few words of advice: "Don't dwell on the past, don't cling to the old friends. They are gone, so we must move on."
It's not that no one has tried to comfort him in this way. During those days of confusion, many people tried to persuade him and tried all kinds of tricks to help Ying Zhisheng get over it. But no one was like him. The regrets of the past and the sudden setbacks, just Lou Sheng alone, could turn Ying Zhisheng's world upside down and cause a devastating blow.
Only Ying Zhisheng knew the insincere words and the forced actions. His mind flashed with fragmented images, frozen in time on the smiling boy and the bloody destruction. His expression was half laughing and half crying, almost mad.
Seeing that Ying Zhisheng was so emotional that veins on his forehead and neck were bulging, Zhang Kaifa was afraid that his employer would go crazy and hit him, so he dragged the bench and quickly retreated to keep his distance.
Ying Zhisheng quickly calmed down and told him with a cold look, "I'll come find you in three days. Don't let me down."
Ying Zhisheng put on sunglasses and a hat and hurried away, leaving Zhang Kaifa alone in the house. Zhang Kaifa grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains and was familiar with human nature and cause and effect. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to help the living force their fate with the dead.
It was too late to distinguish right from wrong. Zhang Kaifa felt like sending money to the little girl in the hospital. He had adopted her when he first came down from the mountain and loved her like his own daughter.
He used to chop wood leisurely in the mountains, but one day he felt overwhelmed by life.
…
After dark, Lou Sheng stood on the balcony and chatted with the old lady next door. When he learned that the old lady would be reincarnated next year, he asked in surprise, "How come it's so soon? I knew a ghost before, and it took more than 40 years!"
The old lady had a kind look in her eyes and spoke slowly and calmly. "Reincarnation is related to one's good deeds. If you do a lot of good things, the ghost messenger will arrange for you to be at the front. With so many people dying every day these days, you have to wait in line for reincarnation. You won't be able to wait for decades or even hundreds of years."
"Young man, how long did the ghost tell you to wait? What number did they assign you?"
He's still waiting in line. He doesn't even have a household registration in the ghost world and is still an illegal resident.
Lou Sheng found an excuse to float back into the house and bumped into Ying Zhisheng, who had just returned. He walked right past Ying Zhisheng and ran towards the door, which had been left open, trying to rush out in one go.
He didn't notice Ying Zhisheng's slight pause, nor did he notice Ying Zhisheng turning sideways and looking back.
Lou Sheng still couldn't get out, so he just sat on the ground and talked to the air. After a few words, Ying Zhisheng went to the kitchen to cook, and he followed him happily. It was quite pleasing to watch Ying Zhisheng cooking.
The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables could be heard. Lou Sheng was absorbed in learning how to cook when he suddenly heard a female voice ask faintly, "Is anyone there?"
Lou Sheng looked at Ying Zhisheng.
"Oh no, I said that wrongly. Are there ghosts?"
Lou Sheng didn't look at Ying Zhisheng, who was looking for him.
Lou Sheng floated out of the kitchen and saw a curly-haired woman in a red dress and a young girl in a white skirt standing in the living room. Feeling extremely lonely these past few days, Lou Sheng, feeling completely utterly lonely, welcomed them warmly. "Yes, yes, yes! There's a ghost! Are you two here to...?"
The girl in the white dress introduced herself: "My name is Bai Yi, and this is Aunt Hong. We came here specially to visit you."
"I'm Lou Sheng." Lou Sheng glanced at Aunt Hong and pointed at himself, puzzled: "Visiting me? Why?"
Aunt Hong spoke, her tone rising as she spoke: "Of course it's because you've become the new boss of our area. The young man has a bright future. I haven't seen Pan Dahai all day. I guess he's hiding in some corner, afraid that you'll beat him up."
In fact, Pan Dahai did not hide, but was digested into his stomach.
"Why do you say I'm the boss of this place?"
Bai Yi: "Ghosts can sense it. We all discussed it for a long time and finally decided to send Aunt Hong and me to meet you. There is still a long time before the reincarnation, and we will all get along with each other in the future."
By the way, let’s take a look at what kind of temperament and character the boss this time has. What if he is the second Pan Dahai?
Aunt Hong looked around the house and praised Lou Sheng: "It's a large flat. You must be quite rich."
Lou Sheng was embarrassed to say that this was not his home.
Bai Yi kindly invited: "We have a party tonight, do you want to join us?"
Is the ghost nightlife so rich nowadays?
Lou Sheng's brain raced, and he smiled and refused: "I'm a homebody, I don't like running around."
Nonsense, since we are already the boss, it would be so embarrassing if the boss can't even leave the house!
