Zhang Xiaosheng hid in a tree not far from the cemetery, blocking his breath and squatting there quietly.
Just after midnight, a dark figure quietly walked over from a distance, looking around as he walked.
The shadow walked to the grave, picked up the shovel and started digging.
Zhang Xiaosheng sneered and finally appeared.
After digging for more than half an hour, the coffin was revealed.
The shadow opened the cover and took out something from his body.
"stop!"
Zhang Xiaosheng shouted and jumped down from the tree, ducking next to the black shadow.
"Ah! Oh my god!" The black shadow was startled and sat down on the ground.
"I've finally waited for you!" Zhang Xiaosheng shouted sternly.
"Have mercy!" The black shadow knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhang Xiaosheng took a closer look and saw that he was a man in his forties with one leg disabled.
"Who are you!" Zhang Xiaosheng asked seriously.
"I...I." The man was so frightened that he had not yet come to his senses and stammered speechlessly.
Zhang Xiaosheng took the thing in his hand and it turned out to be a jade pendant.
He tapped several acupuncture points on the man's body, and the man immediately collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.
Zhang Xiaosheng arranged the graves and carried the man back to Boss Zhang's house.
"That's him!" Zhang Xiaosheng handed the jade pendant to Yu Xiaolong.
"This is an ordinary person, not a practitioner." Yu Xiaolong looked carefully.
Zhang Xiaosheng tapped several acupuncture points on the man's body, and the man slowly opened his eyes.
He blinked and looked around, then at Yu Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaosheng, and immediately knelt down and cried: "God, please forgive me!"
"If you tell the truth, I will spare your life, otherwise...hum! I will make your soul fly to pieces!" Zhang Xiaosheng shouted loudly.
"I said, I said!" The man knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Let me ask you, what is your name and where are you from?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him.
"I...my name is Zhao Sixi, and I am from this village."
"You know what I'm going to ask next, right?"
"Yes...yes...it's a long story!"
"Then speak slowly!"
Zhao Sixi cried and talked about what happened:
His parents died of illness when he was a teenager, and he has been idle since he lacked discipline. He was punished by law for stealing many times, but because the amount was small, he was released after a few days. Because of this experience and no money, he has been living alone until
Middle-aged, he makes a living by doing odd jobs and helping others. More than a month ago, Boss Zhang's father died of illness, and he was busy helping out to earn some hard money. On the night of the burial,

Zhao Sixi drank and dined with the villagers who were helping him. Zhao Sixi was not polite when given the opportunity to eat and drink. He drank until he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
After the banquet was over, Zhao Sixi walked to the cemetery at the south end of the village in a daze. He fell asleep leaning on the grave of old man Zhang who had just leveled the grave in the afternoon.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the night wind woke him up.
Zhao Sixi opened his eyes and dimly found an old man standing in front of him. He was not afraid even though he was holding the wine in his hand.
The old man told him that if he did one thing for him, Zhao Sixi would live a prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of his life.
Zhao Sixi, who had been poor for half his life, was so pleasantly surprised that he agreed repeatedly and asked what he wanted to do.
The old man asked him to take out a jade pendant from Old Man Zhang's coffin and put it on his body. After seven or forty-nine days, the old man would come to him to take away the jade pendant and give him the promised glory and wealth.
Zhao Sixi agreed in a daze, dug up the grave on the spot, opened the coffin and took away the jade pendant.
When he woke up the next day, recalling what he had done last night, Zhao Sixi was frightened to death.
Although he is a thief by nature, this is his first time digging a grave and stealing.
He wanted to throw away the jade pendant, but under the temptation of having money for the rest of his life, he forced himself to endure it.
Zhao Sixi once secretly asked someone to appraise it and found that this jade pendant was worthless at all. So he kept his promise and looked forward to the old man's reappearance in forty-nine days.
But I didn't expect that Boss Zhang actually invited an expert and gave him a three-day deadline, otherwise he would die without a burial place.
Zhao Sixi weighed it for two days, and finally planned to put the jade pendant back to its original place on the last night. After all, in the face of money, living is more important.
"Did you dream or did you really see the old man who appeared in the cemetery?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"This... I can't say for sure now... Anyway, I heard that he did have a jade pendant. He must have really seen it." Zhao Sixi murmured.
"In the middle of the night, an old man appeared out of nowhere in a cemetery and asked you to dig graves, open coffins and steal things. Are you so brave?" Zhang Xiaosheng looked at him and said with a smile.
"I was so drunk that I was dizzy. I didn't think so much. I didn't know how to be afraid. I was so scared the next day that I didn't dare to go out! I couldn't sleep for three days." Zhao Sixi said aggrievedly.
"Did the old man say anything else?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"No, just ask me to take out the jade pendant and wear it for forty-nine days, and he will naturally come to me." Zhao Sixi said.
"What do you always carry with you? Something you took out of the grave?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"How dare I! I never dared to put it on my body, I kept it at home." Zhao Sixi shook his head.
"Do you want to live?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Of course! No matter how much money you have, life is worse than life! Please forgive me, two gods!" Zhao Sixi quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Okay, you listen to me. Don't tell anyone about this matter. I can keep it a secret for you and won't tell Boss Zhang, but you have to do something for me." Yu Xiaolong looked serious.
Look at him.
"Ah? Do...what...please spare me! I don't dare to do it anymore!" Zhao Sixi burst into tears.
"Okay! Just cry, why did you do it earlier! I don't ask you to dig graves, and I don't ask you to steal things. If you do it well, you can save your life. Otherwise, if Boss Zhang finds out, will he beat you to death?
?" Yu Xiaolong said irritably.
"Then...listen to the gods." Zhao Sixi nodded.
Yu Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaosheng looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
More than a month later…
The cemetery is always weird and scary at night, and the breeze blowing through it makes everyone feel frightened.
Zhao Sixi stood by the grave, trembling slightly, looking around from time to time, for fear that something scary would appear.
A gust of dark wind blew by, and a figure appeared in front of Zhao Sixi.
"Haha." The figure was the old man.
"Oh my god!" Zhao Sixi was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The old man smiled.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?" Zhao Sixi asked tremblingly.
"Haha... It doesn't matter whether I am a human or a ghost. Have you done what you were asked to do?" The old man was a little impatient.
"It's done as you asked." Zhao Sixi replied.
"Bring it here!" The old man seemed impatient.
"Okay, don't forget your promise." Zhao Sixi took out the jade pendant and handed it to the old man.
"Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, I won't treat you badly!" The old man grabbed the jade pendant.
Zhao Sixi ran away, and the old man ignored him and looked at the jade pendant carefully.
With a "bang" sound, the jade pendant exploded, emitting a burst of smoke.
"oops!"
The old man screamed and jumped away quickly.
"Haha, some wild ghost is harming people!" Zhang Xiaosheng appeared.
"You...who are you? Are you responsible?" the old man said angrily.
"Why do you instigate others to steal things? It's harmful to people!" Zhang Xiaosheng shouted sternly.
The old man's face darkened, and he immediately became angry: "Where are you from! Don't stand in my way!"
