Lin Jingyu and A Biao explained the matter back and forth. Finally, Lin Jingyu said, "Brother, I called you here mainly to be a witness. Uncle Ye needs to get a death certificate, but if he attracts thunder later, Uncle Ye's body will turn to ashes, so..."
Lin Jingchun understood.
He looked at Old Ye carefully again and asked with concern, "Uncle Ye, what are you going to do with this shop and your money? Do you have any plans?"
Old Ye nodded and said, "I've already told Ayu and Abiao. They'll help me buy a grave, hold a funeral, and move my wife here. The remaining money will be donated to the orphanage up ahead."
"Ayu and Abia, please burn more paper money for Awang later. When your uncle Ye was alive, he was incompetent and couldn't give Awang a good life. So he just hoped that Awang would have endless money in the afterlife."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ye. A Biao and I will take turns burning paper money. We will burn a whole room of paper money."
Old Ye raised the corner of his mouth: "That's good, that's good."
His eyes fell on Su Chen, he slowly walked forward and took out a bulging red envelope.
"Young man, it's all thanks to you that I was able to find Awang. Keep this."
Su Chen accepted it with a smile: "Uncle Ye, when I attract the lightning later, I will also attract your soul to this paper figure to prevent you from being struck by lightning and being torn apart. Later, Brother Biao or Brother Yu, when you buy a cemetery and move the grave, you should bring this paper figure with you. This way, Uncle Ye can see that everything is done with his own eyes. Is that okay?"
Old Ye waved his hands repeatedly: "Young man, you can do whatever you want. I trust you."
After explaining everything, Su Chen asked Lao Ye to stand in the middle of the store and asked A Biao to open the tightly closed door a crack.
Ah Biao looked at the sky outside and subconsciously asked, "Brother, can you really attract lightning? I don't see any clouds in the sky."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingchun also went over to take a look.
In winter, the sky is actually getting dark around four o'clock, but you can still clearly see whether there are clouds in the sky. There really are none.
So there really is such a method to attract lightning out of thin air?
He turned around suspiciously and saw Su Chen quickly turning over the hand seals, muttering something, and then shouted loudly: "Thunder!"
He and A Biao were standing at the door. They were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, a bright light flashed before their eyes and they felt a chill on their heads.
When the light faded, there was no trace of Old Ye in the middle of the store. Only a pool of dust on the ground.
He didn't feel anything when he heard Su Chen say it before, but when he saw the lightning with his own eyes and saw a living person turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, Lin Jingchun was still shocked.
A soft sob came from the side.
Lin Jingchun looked at A Biao, whose eyes were already red.
"Uncle Ye~"
The paper figure on the table suddenly stood up, as if it felt something very novel, and moved its arms and legs.
Su Chen stretched out his palm and the paper man jumped up. When Su Chen walked in front of A Biao, the paper man raised his hand and gently touched A Biao's upright hair.
Lin Jingyu was stunned: "Brother, my Uncle Ye?"
He pointed at the paper figure.
Su Chen nodded: "Uncle Ye's soul is much more stable than Yingying's child, but you two are both masculine young men with strong yang energy. Don't carry the paper figurine close to your body all the time. It's not good for you and Uncle Ye."
Upon hearing this, Ah Biao wiped his eyes, stretched out his hands, and carefully took the paper figure: "I understand. I'll put it in the box when I get home, okay?"
"Okay, remember to bring it with you when you do things. Uncle Ye will nod if he is satisfied with you, but he won't say anything."
As Su Chen said this, he felt guilty again.
In the past, let alone cutting paper figures, he could just point his finger at the mud and create a doll out of thin air. Then he could draw talismans in the air and the doll would jump, move, and talk. But now...
Alas, in the words of the original owner, it was like going back to the time before liberation overnight.
The matter was resolved and it was dark.
Su Chen packed up and prepared to go home.
After saying something to Lin Jingyu and the others, he picked up his small cloth bag and walked out. When he passed by Lin Jingchun, he suddenly stopped and turned around suspiciously.
Lin Jingchun felt scared when he looked at him.
"What, what happened?"
"You have yin energy."
Lin Jingyu slapped his thigh suddenly. "That's right, buddy. My brother went to Longshan today and encountered a ghost wall. There were also wild boars trying to eat him. Thanks to your amulet, he was able to come back. But your amulet is gone. It has turned to ashes. Hurry and get another one. With my brother's job, he might be in danger again tomorrow."
Ah Biao was no longer sad and exclaimed, "Brother Chun, are you stuck in a trap? No way, right? Isn't it said that police officers are upright and upright, so it's not easy for them to get involved in these things?"
He looked at Su Chen suspiciously as he spoke. Su Chen's expression was stern: "So, the one who can fascinate you is not an ordinary ghost."
Lin Jingchun was startled, then frowned: "Will it harm others? There are more than a hundred people in Qingshan Village. Isn't it dangerous?"
Su Chen took a step back and looked at Lin Jingchun carefully.
His eyes gradually became appreciative.
After a pause, he said, "I'll go to Longshan when I have time."
"Thank you..." Lin Jingchun hesitated and added two words, "Master."
After Su Chen left, Lin Jingchun pulled Lin Jingyu aside and asked him about Su Chen's situation. Finally, he sighed, "When I heard Auntie talk about Gangcheng before, I knew there were strange people and strange things in this world. I didn't expect that there were also strange people in our Cuicheng, and you guys were so lucky to run into one!"
Lin Jingyu crossed his arms and snorted softly: "That's good to know. Next time, don't accuse me of not doing my job properly by setting up a stall~"
Su Chen still returned to Liangshan with a lot of bags, but he did not go back to Niuwei Village directly. Instead, he went to his third sister's house first.
At that time, Su Xiaoyan was boiling water at home to give the children a bath. When she heard the noise and came out to see, she was stunned.
"Little brother?"
"Third sister, I saw some pretty cheap shoes on the street, so I bought a pair for each of my nephews."
Su Xiaoyan was surprised: "What should I buy for them? They already have shoes to wear."
"If you have money, buy it for your own children."
"Yes, yes, yes. I bought a pair for each of Honghong and the others yesterday."
Su Chen was welcomed into the house by Su Xiaoyan. He looked around and asked, "Third sister, where is my third brother-in-law?"
"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to hire a chef? I sent him off after lunch. We're planning to invite Lao Zhao. He's a famous chef in this area!" She gave a thumbs up, turned around and started to spread the fire. "Little brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? It's just right for us to cook noodles for dinner."
Su Chen waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, Third Sister, I have to rush home early. I also bought other things, which are quite heavy. It will be late after dinner. It is not appropriate to walk on the mountain road at night."
"What's inappropriate? Ask your brother-in-law to take you there later."
"Really? No need. My brother-in-law has to get up early tomorrow to kill a pig." Su Chen dug into his trouser pockets and pulled out a wad of money. He counted out five hundred and placed them on the table. "Third sister, you know more about hosting banquets than I do. I happened to help someone solve a big problem today. This is my reward. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it later."
Su Xiaoyan was surprised: "So many?"
"Well, the person who asked me to do something was very generous. Also, I sold some talismans today."
The red envelope Uncle Ye gave him was filled with a thousand yuan, including hundred-yuan bills and fifty-yuan notes. In addition to the 120 yuan from selling talismans and the 20 yuan from fortune-telling, Su Chen now had a lot more money on his hands.
Su Xiaoyan saw the other money in Su Chen's hand and knew that he still had money, so she didn't refuse: "Okay, if there is any left later, I will return it to you."
Finally, he couldn't help but worry: "Little brother, is it dangerous for you to work for others?"
Su Chen shook his head: "It's not dangerous, they are all easy to talk to."
In this world, whether it is ghosts or zombies, they all value feelings. Unlike the world where ghosts have revived, they are ferocious and cruel, and will tear people apart at will. Not to mention negotiation, they don't even give you time to talk.
When you think about it this way, the world is actually quite beautiful.
Jiang Wanshui went home with a red face and humming a song.
As he was almost at the door, he suddenly wiped his eyes and became alert.
"brother in law?!"
Why are you coming to my house when it’s almost dark?
Are you here to extort money again?
