Chapter 007: A Paper Agreement
"Gao Dingcheng, why is he here?"
Bai Jingge chased after her, and the other party disappeared just after a bend, she showed a puzzled look, and her brows were tightly locked.
No, it won't be him, if it were him, he wouldn't pretend not to see me, besides, the figure that flashed just now was not as fast as ordinary people could do, could it?
Realizing this, Bai Jingge quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Gao Dingcheng's number.
"Hey, Amazing Song ......"
With a "snap", Bai Jingge hung up the phone, and when she heard the other party's voice, she breathed a sigh of relief, which was enough to prove that her conjecture just now was wrong.
The old man followed, the black qi just now made him a little concerned, but he felt that his junior disciple Shen should not come to a place like the hospital, he hated places with many ghosts, although he himself was not human.
"What's wrong, Amazement?"
"It's okay, I just thought I saw an acquaintance, it's just a hallucination, let's go back. With that, Bai Jingge turned around and walked towards the gate of the hospital.
The old man thought about whether to tell her about Zishen, but he was afraid that the more the other party knew, the more dangerous it would be, after all, now the enemy was in the dark, so he simply rotted these words in his stomach.
The wind in the night was stronger, and it made a whistling sound, like the roar of wild beasts. There were snowflakes floating in the sky, Bai Jingge raised his head and looked at it, and said to himself, "This is the first snow of the year." β
The old man on the side said "um", followed closely behind the other party, Bai Jingge suddenly stopped, sniffed, turned around and said to the old man with a wry smile: "Heh, do you know? Today is my birthday, originally I was going to accept my fiancΓ©'s marriage proposal today, and I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." But now there's nothing, this damn yin and yang eye, what kind of sin did I create in my last life, and you want to punish me like this in this life?"
"No, child, don't say that, you haven't done any evil, it's all our fault, it's nothing to do with you. β
Of course, these words were just said by the old man in his heart, on the surface, he pretended to be calm and comforted the other party: "Having yin and yang eyes is not necessarily a bad thing, you see just now, if it weren't for you, Xiao Chen would have lost his mother forever." But it is true that the days of seeing ghosts are not going to be peaceful. β
"I remember you said you were a soul ferryman, right, so why are there so many ghosts floating in the world, why don't you ferry them?" asked Bai Jingge with a puzzled expression.
The old man stroked his white beard, shook his head, and replied with a smile: "People don't have to leave as soon as they die, they often stay in the world for some time. β
Hearing this, Bai Jingge nodded thoughtfully, she suddenly thought that it would be good if she was born with yin and yang eyes, so that maybe she could still see her deceased parents, and by the way, ask them why they abandoned her? But it was too late now, her parents should have already escaped into reincarnation.
Seeing that he was already familiar with the other party, the old man decided to go straight to the point, he coughed twice, trying to make himself a little more majestic, and then said to Bai Jingge: "At the moment, I still have a big deal to deal with, and the day of my retirement is getting closer and closer, I still have seven souls that have not been ferried, and that big thing cannot be delayed, so can I leave the matter of soul ferrying to you?"
"Why?" Bai Jingge asked without hesitation, she put her hands in her pockets and swaggered forward.
Well?
The old man was stunned by her answer, and after reacting, he quickly chased after him, and continued without giving up: "If you promise to help me with this, I can give you a helper, that helper has a lot of spiritual power, as long as you stay with him, those ghosts don't dare to do anything to you." Otherwise, you know, like in a hospital, those ghosts can easily hurt you. Well, that's enough, right?"
"Are you intimidating and threatening? I'm not scared. Bai Jingge replied nonchalantly, and the pace under his feet did not mean to slow down.
The old man squinted, thinking about how to convince the other party to agree to his request.
"Bang", a flash of inspiration appeared in his head, and he thought that since the other party was the daughter of whom, he was naturally as greedy for money as her mother.
"Well, if you do me a favor, I'll give you ten million!" said the old man.
He thought about it, in the world, 10 million should not be a small number.
"Click", Bai Jingge stopped, she turned to the old man, and confirmed in disbelief: "Really?"
"In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse. β
"Deal!"
After speaking, Bai Jingge continued to walk forward.
The old man followed behind him, and he agreed? He couldn't believe his ears, and at the same time sighed in his heart, sure enough, like that person, he was too greedy for money, which is not good!
Bai Jingge walked in front, and her mood suddenly improved, originally she wanted to marry Gao Dingcheng, and then ask for a breakup fee of 10 million, which is very cost-effective. But with today's "refusal", the 10 million yuan will also be in vain.
However, there is no endless road, this is really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Bai Jingge suddenly felt a little lucky in his heart, and he really had a certain number in the dark.
"I've been persuading for so long, but I didn't expect that I couldn't resist the temptation of 10 million, and I was so greedy for money at a young age?" the old man couldn't help but quip.
"I just ......" Bai Jingge wanted to explain, but suddenly felt troublesome, besides, heroes never leave a name for what they do, she decided to rot this secret in her stomach,
"Yes, that's right, I'm greedy for money, it's the 21st century, how can I get on without money, you don't eat the fireworks of the world, of course I don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, hum, or money is the most real. You think, if I had 10 million, I wouldn't have to live that kind of life of renting a house every day, the rented house is not good at all, there are a lot of bugs in it, and the rent is very expensive. And you know, I'm just an illustrator who doesn't have a legacy, and with this money, at least my life won't have to be so embarrassing. Bai Jingge couldn't help but glance at the other party with disdain, his mouth pursed, revealing an aggrieved and helpless look.
The old man sighed leisurely, and then breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that this lively and lovely girl in front of him at least let him know that her personality and everything were well developed. Through the incident of Xiao Chen just now, he was also sure that the other party would be a qualified, oh no, it should be said, that he would be a very good soul ferryman.
......
As soon as I got home, I opened the door and pressed the switch of the light in the fantasy place. "Roar!" Bai Jingge shuddered in fright, and then stroked his chest, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Hearing the voice, Yan Jiu walked over and stared straight at her with a pair of breathtaking eyes.
Bai Jingge: "It's you?"
"Do you know me?" Yan Jiu suddenly grabbed Bai Jingge's arm excitedly, and the force was so strong that she couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Saying that, Yan Jiu quickly let go of the other party.
Bai Jingge turned his head speechlessly, shook his numb arm, glanced at the other party, and said angrily: "I don't know you, I know that you had a car accident during the day, I was at the scene, speaking of which, you are still the first ghost I saw." β
"Are you saying I died in a car accident?" Yan Jiu's eyes widened and he asked suspiciously.
Bai Jingge nodded, she took off her heavy down jacket, took off her scarf, and went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of hot tea. When he came out, the old man said dissatisfiedly: "How do you only know that you have poured yourself a cup, aren't we human?"
"Heh!" Bai Jingge sneered, muttering in his heart, aren't you human? But on the surface, he pretended to be very sorry and said, "I'm sorry, I thought ghosts don't need to drink tea." After that, he went back to the kitchen and poured two more glasses.
During this period, Yan Jiu kept standing in a daze, holding his head with both hands and trying to recall the events of the day, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it at all. I couldn't help but mutter, "You mean you saw me during the day, can you tell me the details?"
Hearing this, Bai Jingge tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and replied: "At that time, my brain and eyes were in great pain, and when I saw you, you were lying in the middle of the road, and then your soul was standing by my side. However, I saw you once before you were in a car accident, crossing the street and accidentally hit you, but you were in a hurry and seemed to have something urgent to do. β
Yan Jiu supported his head with his hands, trying to recall that for him, it was the first time he saw this person in front of him, and he didn't remember anything during the day. The old man stood aside, silent, a little stunned in his heart. Because he had just secretly checked the other party's marquee, to his surprise, there was a blank space on the marquee. It was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he had never encountered it before. Even if the other party is still alive, but the soul is temporarily separated from the body, the marquee can also be seen, so there is only one explanation, that is, his spiritual power is too strong, blocking his life. Could it be ...... The old man didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Bai Jingge sat on the sofa, and when he picked up the hot tea and was "whirring" and blowing, he suddenly thought that there was no basis for what he said, and he wanted to establish a word as a basis. So he immediately put down the tea, ran to the desk, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a pen and two pieces of paper.
After putting it in front of the old man, she said solemnly: "I want to make a note, a paper agreement, 10 million for seven souls, and complete it within a year." I'll sign first, and you'll sign after I sign it. He said "brush, brush, brush" and wrote these words on a blank piece of paper.
Yan Jiu couldn't help but interject, "The successor of the soul ferry you are optimistic about is such a greedy person? 10 million?" After speaking, he looked at the old man with disdain.
With a "snap", the paper was poked by Bai Jingge with a hole, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and glared at Yan Jiu, and replied through gritted teeth: "What's wrong with the old lady being greedy for money, let me tell you, the old lady is not only greedy for money, but also lustful, you don't know yet, you have been given to me by him as an accessory." After saying that, she looked at each other with a smug expression.
"You're dreaming!"
