Chapter Nineteen

After these days, I feel that my worldview has suddenly become much broader.

This trip was still a little tired, so after I came back, I rested at home for several days. Every day, except for helping my mother with some housework, I locked myself in the house for the rest of my time and carefully studied the "Secret Book of Wishes" given to me by Xiucai Chen.

Actually, I don’t have much ambitions and never thought that I would become the number one in the world. I just thought about learning more skills and working hard to improve myself so that I can manage and inherit the life of driving corpses. In a few days, I earned two or three hundred yuan, which greatly inspired my enthusiasm. I also realized that this is a craft that can make money, and I earn a lot of money. It seems that Chen Xiucai did not lie to me. He will not worry about not having a house with him, and building a new house is just around the corner.

When I first read the book "Zhuyou Clan" and found it obscure and difficult to understand the meaning. But when my whole body and mind entered this ancient book, I gradually realized that the things inside were not obscure and difficult to understand, but were profound and profound. I seemed to open the door to another world. This novel world is bizarre, with medicine, talismans, and alchemy here, which is simply all-encompassing and exciting.

After watching for a few days, I had already reached the point where I had to forget to eat and sleep. I was still lit in the quilt with an oil lamp in the middle of the night.

Cultivation requires the accumulation of time and experience, and it is impossible to achieve immediate results, but I still learned a lot of knowledge from it and felt that I had made quite obvious progress.

On that day, I was lying on the haystack in the valley and basking in the sun, studying "The Stories of Zhuyou" while enjoying sunbathing. Suddenly, I heard a voice calling my name. The voice was very familiar, and I jumped up immediately, Lei Zi?!

Leizi pushed open the gate and walked in. I quickly met him and asked him excitedly: "Brother, what wind has blown you here?"

Lei Zi habitually pulled out a cigarette and lit it, and smiled at me: "Don't you miss you anymore? Come back and have a look. I've lived here for eight or nine years!"

"Stop coming! I think you guys will go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble!" I smiled and welcomed Lei Zi into the room.

Leizi had a good time with me when he was a child. My parents knew Leizi and exchanged greetings with each other for a few words. My father asked my mother to rebel immediately and cook something delicious. Then he asked me to go to the entrance of the village to buy some braised pork and entertain Leizi for dinner.

The meal was enjoyable and I drank a lot of wine. My father couldn't bear to drink. After a few glasses of wine, he went back to the house to sleep with the help of his mother, leaving Leizi and I still drinking and chatting.

Lei Zi burped and finally talked about the main business: "Jiujizi, I'll come to you today. In addition to coming back to see you, there is something else..."

I picked up a peanut and said, "I knew you were not going to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. Let's talk, what's the matter?"

Leizi poured me half a glass of wine, raised his glass and clinked it: "That's right, our village has a business, will you accept it?"

"Please! Why don't you take it? What kind of business, come and listen?" As soon as I heard that there was a business coming, I immediately became interested and agreed without thinking. These days, I have fantasized about starting work every day, but I didn't expect that a small corpse-driver like me would come to me and business.

"That's right!" Lei Zi said seriously: "A child died in our village, but the child's family members also died, so this time the village committee paid for the child to be buried. The last time we did Fang Cuicui, our village chief Niu was very impressed by you. Then I gave you a few good words to you and took the job. Now Village Chief Niu is waiting for you to reply. If you are willing to accept this business, I will go back to Niujia Village with me tomorrow. If you don't accept it, don't force it, let's find someone else!"

"What are you looking for? Brothers must share resources. If I take this job, you can earn money to carry the coffin!" I said.

Lei Zi nodded: "That's exactly what it means! And the appearance fee this time is relatively high..."

"How many?" I asked in a low voice.

Lei Zi raised a finger: "One thousand dollars!"

"So much?" My hand shook violently, and the white wine spilled out.

My eyes shone and immediately made a decision: "Leizi, we two don't say much. If there is really a 1,000 yuan appearance fee, I will give you two hundred yuan agency fee in person. What do you think?"

Lei Zi was also very pleased, not a hypocritical person. He said yes, and then told me: "But you must handle this matter. I have established a grand image for you in front of Village Chief Niu!"

"If I do things, you can rest assured!" I was breathing alcohol and full of excitement. If this business was completed, it would be worth three months' salary. I would give Lei Zi two hundred yuan in agency fees, and there would be eight hundred yuan left. I could share four hundred yuan with my master. In just half a month, I had earned six or seven hundred yuan. This was the rhythm of getting rich!

I was happy in my heart, and I picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Lei Zi bent his finger and tapped the table gently: "But before departure, I have to make it clear to you that since the village gives such a high appearance fee, it means that this matter is difficult to handle. You must be mentally prepared!"

"Oh, it's okay! Even if I don't do it properly, isn't my master still there? I'll go over and take a look first. If it's difficult, please let the master do it!" I said lightly.

"So good!" Lei Zi nodded.

"Oh!" I poured the remaining white wine in the bottle for Lei Zi: "Tell me what happened to this dead child, I have to be prepared!"

Lei Zi was silent for a moment, lowered his voice, and slowly said: "This child is very evil!"

Lei Zi's expression was a bit strange, and his low voice was quite terrifying at night.

Especially as soon as he finished saying this, the kerosene lamp on the table was gone, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

At that time, the village had power on, but the voltage was unstable and power outages often occurred. In addition, in order to save electricity bills, many families still light kerosene lamps at night.

I found a match and re-lit the oil lamp, and the lights swayed and started to burn again.

I gave Lei Zi a blank look: "Don't look at me like this, I want to scare me!"

Lei Zi straightened his back and said, "I'm not scaring you. This just-dead child is really evil! Do you know what people in our village call him?"

After a pause, Lei Zi took a deep breath and squeezed out three words from his teeth: "A life-threatening ghost!"

Death-challenging ghost?!

"What does it mean? Tell me what kind of evil method it is!" My curiosity was stirred up.
Chapter completed!
