Chapter 09: That money, that person, that dog

Sister Xiang shivered with fright and dropped the money in her hand.

The money floated on the tile surface, and the pile of zeros was dazzling.

A breeze blew by, and Ming Chao was blown onto Sister Xiang's high heels.

"ah!"

Sister Xiang jumped up in fright, and Ming Chao fell down.

"Why are you so panicked?" Qin Anyi walked out of the counter, picked up the money on the ground, put it on the counter, and used Durex to suppress the two money.

"What the hell...can you not panic?" Sister Xiang hid behind Qin Anyi, put her hands on Qin Anyi's shoulders, shrank her head, and looked at the coins on the counter.

"You're not dead yet." Qin An put his fingers on the two hell coins while eating.

Backtrack, activate.

Familiar dots, lines, and surfaces, and then Qin Anyi saw a black and white photo placed on the chest of drawers.

The old man in the portrait has deep-set eye sockets, protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and deep wrinkles on his face. Just from the portrait alone, you can feel that the old man was terminally ill.

This old man is indeed dead, but I don’t know what disease he died of.

A middle-aged man wearing sackcloth and mourning held incense in his hand and offered incense to the old man.

"Dad, your son is unfilial. You have never been blessed in your life. When you get down here, your son will burn a lot of paper money for you. When you get down here, please bless your grandson and help him get into college." The middle-aged man muttered,

Then he put the incense on the incense burner.

In the portrait, the old man's eyes sunk deep into his eye sockets stare at the man.

The man's heart felt a little uncomfortable and he left quickly.

In the flashback world, Qin Anyi walked around with her hands in her pockets. The house was not big, about forty square meters, with many old objects. There were flowers and plants on the balcony, and a native dog was lying on the ground crying.

Many of the relatives were crying, and the few who were not crying also had red eyes.

There was an old woman who didn't cry, but kept folding gold ingots.

"Old man, you have been stingy all your life. Don't be so stingy in the next life. Don't use these gold ingots sparingly when you get them down there. If you don't have enough, just give them to us in dreams."

"Grandpa Xia, please go away." A young man in his twenties wearing simple clothes knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

One after another, many young or middle-aged people came to kowtow to the old man. After kowtowing, they stayed at the door.

Because there was no room left in the room, Qin Anyi stood in the crowd, as if she were an illusion. Standing in the crowd, Qin Anyi seemed to be wearing a mold.

He walked outside. There were wreaths placed outside. Qin Anyi looked at the wreaths. The old man's name was Xia Chi.

During this period, the old man's son walked outside and answered the phone. Qin Anyi watched everything.

"Why aren't you paying yet? My living expenses are almost gone..." There was a young man's voice on the other end of the phone, his tone full of resentment, and other people could be heard talking on the other end of the phone.

"Master Cheng will pay for all the expenses tonight!"

"My father is dead. If you want to make money, you can make it yourself." The middle-aged man said while suppressing his anger.

"Huh? What did you do? Didn't you say you would give me money every month?" Mr. Cheng opposite was panicked.

The middle-aged man has hung up the phone.

After reaching this point in the traceback, Qin Anyi roughly understood what kind of person the old man was, so he ended the traceback.

After returning to the present, Qin Anyi looked at the watch on her hand and saw that nineteen seconds had passed.

"Okay, Sister Xiang, don't panic. It might be a deception. Let me take a look with you." Qin Anyi picked up the money and put it in his pocket.

Sister Xiang's hair salon is not far away, right next door. It's called Dream Lisa Hair Salon, and it has a flavor of the 1980s and 1990s.

"Where's that old man?" Sister Xiang walked into the hair salon with Qin Anyi, turned around and was about to pull down the rolling shutter door.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm not here to do anything pornographic, okay?" Qin Anyi shouted to stop Sister Xiang.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it." Sister Xiang hid behind Qin Anyi and picked up the curling iron next to her.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid." Qin Anyi comforted Sister Xiang and opened the secret door.

There was no one in the secret door. There was only a stack of banknotes left on the bed. Qin Anyi took a cursory glance and saw that it was four to five thousand yuan.

There is also a stack of Hades coins lying next to it.

He picked up the folded banknote, looked at it towards the sun, and touched it with his phantom limb, but nothing changed.

"It's true." Qin Anyi wanted to put the banknotes in Sister Xiang's hand, "If you don't believe it, you can order more."

"How dare I do this?" Sister Xiang didn't dare to take it over. "There's nothing wrong with this person, right? Who comes to eat chicken with money? Is he showing off?"

"I can't say for sure." Qin Anyi took the money and started backtracking again.

In retrospect, the money was all the old man's personal money hidden in the insoles of his slippers. The old man who turned into a ghost came here with ghost money and real money.

Then the old man timidly gave the money to Sister Xiang and asked her to buy a small umbrella.

After Sister Xiang went out, she kept the real money.

The pile of money on the bed was left by Sister Xiang herself.

"Weird." Qin Anyi couldn't understand the motive, "This shouldn't be because he became lustful after his death. With so much real money, he could eat high-end goods instead of looking for Sister Xiang, although Sister Xiang is not bad at all.

People who come to give money after death are related to each other?"

In the retrospective world, the old man watched Sister Xiang go out, sighed deeply, and walked out of the wall.

The old man left after passing through the wall. Qin Anyi chased him out and saw the old man just squatting under a tree on the street, his eyes full of guilt.

Qin Anyi ended her recollection, took Sister Xiang's hand, and began to persuade her.

"Okay, Sister Xiang, don't worry about it. Maybe it's just hypnosis? The few thousand left behind should be considered as compensation for your mental losses. After all, there are many weirdos in this world." Qin Anyi lied.

After listening to Qin Anyi's words, Sister Xiang thought that it was not logical at all, but it still made sense at first glance, and it was not unacceptable if she thought about it carefully.

The main thing is to get money, after all, people need to have enough food.

"Okay, let me help you deal with these ghost coins. I just like to play with fires." Qin Anyi smiled, took the ghost coins and went out, "Sister Xiang, help me look at the store, thank you."

Regardless of whether Sister Xiang agreed or not, Qin Anyi took the ghost coins and walked out. After going around in a circle, Qin Anyi came to where the old man was.

He found a corner against the wall and squatted down, picked up a stone, drew a circle on the ground, and wrote the words "Xia Chi Shu" outside the circle.

Qin Anyi lit a ghost coin and threw it into the circle.

"Tell me, old man, what is your relationship with Sister Xiang?" Qin Anyi asked the old man.

"Can you see me?" the old man asked Qin Anyi strangely, very surprised.

"Hey, hell, this thing is so new. I saw one this morning? I almost strangled it to death." Qin Anyi turned over the silver and said, not slow in his movements, still burning the paper money, "Tell me,

What is your relationship with Sister Xiang? Is she your illegitimate daughter?"

"Yes, I was ignorant at the time and had an affair. Then I didn't know she was pregnant. Later, I learned from the painful experience and broke off contact. It wasn't until she was about to die that someone found me and told me that I had such a daughter. But

, but she did... Hey, if I were responsible, she wouldn't be doing this job." Xia Chi lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his voice was full of self-blame.

"I understand the truth, but why do you want to help others?" Qin Anyi asked Xia Chi, "And you can still live a miserable life yourself."

"There's no reason, I just think it would be a pity if those children can't go to school because they have no money." Xia Chi answered Qin Anyi, "It doesn't matter if I'm a little poor. I have a family to live in and food to eat. I can still live a good life.

"

"Although I can't control the third leg, surprisingly he is half a good person." Qin Anyi looked at Xia Chi and sighed, realizing something was wrong, Qin Anyi quickly changed her tune.

"He's a good ghost."

"..." Xia Chi was silent, "That..."

"No help, no money, don't look for me, next one." Qin Anyi rejected him four times.

"I haven't said anything yet." Xia Chi was stunned for a moment.

"Can I still not know what you want to say in this situation? It's just to take care of Sister Xiang more. I will definitely do this. After all, Sister Xiang usually takes good care of me, and you shouldn't have to worry about your family. After all, you

I came to see Sister Xiang as soon as possible. The only one left is the person you are funding now, or those people, right?" Qin Anyi said in a disgusting tone, and continued to burn the paper, "You don't even look at the money you are funding.

What the hell is this? Just blindly fund it."

"..." Xia Chi fell silent, standing beside Qin Anyi blankly.

In the distance, a dog barked, and Qin Anyi turned to look over.

A native dog flew over, barked excitedly, ran to Xia Chi's side, circled in a flattering manner, and rubbed Xia Chi's trouser legs.

"Laibao?!" Xia Chi touched the native dog's head in surprise and shouted affectionately.

"You've received the paper money, right?" Qin Anyi saw it and put down the last stack of paper money, then found a stick and moved it randomly to make the paper money burn more fully.

"It's time to hit the road after receiving it." Qin Anyi said, and the ghost certificate floated out, "Don't worry, it's just to save you, not to kill you."

Qin Anyi had long seen that the dog was also a spirit.

"Well, little brother, this is my only wish, can my family continue to support him through college?" Xia Chi looked at Qin Anyi with a slight pleading.

"Woof~" the native dog echoed.

"Okay, okay, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I know." Qin Anyi said perfunctorily, holding the ghost certificate, which emitted a soft white light, covering Xia Chi and the bird.

Native dog.

One person and one dog gradually became illusory until they completely disappeared.

There are also two new portraits on the back of the ghost ID card, one of a person and a dog.

Qin Anyi looked at it and put away the ghost mission certificate.

"A bad guy." Qin Anyi lit a cigarette and hailed a taxi. If you like Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Liaozhai, Not Cthulhu Search Novel Network Update Speed
