The proprietress left the inn, and I stared blankly at the ledger in my hand. It all happened so suddenly, and I was really hard to accept for a while.

At this moment, a short figure dragged a corpse out of the toilet next to it.

"I'm worried that your body will decompose...... Do you still want it? ”

It was a big bag, and I looked at the child and then at the corpse that the child was dragging in his hand, and said, "Your mother has already gone up the mountain, won't you go with you?" ”

The boy looked at me and shook his head, and said to himself, "She's not technically my mother, because I wasn't born when the fire came, so I don't have much affection for her." ”

"These ...... How do you know this? ”

"It's all in that ledger."

"Ledger?"

I shook the worn, yellowed ledger in my hand and asked, "You mean him?" ”

The little boy shook his head and said, "No, no, there is a ledger under the counter." There are two books in this inn, black and white, and one account records all the expenses and survival tasks in the store. ”

"What about another chapter?"

"Another black account is recorded with the name of our Cui family and the origin of the previous life."

I walked to the back of the counter, and sure enough, I saw the black ledger below, which was the same one that the proprietress was holding before.

I looked at the black and white books in my hand, and I wondered a little. When I came to stay in the store, the proprietress took out the black account, but she didn't know that I was the Cui family at that time.

I looked at the ledger while wondering in my heart, and sure enough, the names of all the 315 people in the Cui family and their brief biographies were on it. The 72 Cui family members who have been found, their names are written in red cinnabar, while the Cui family members who have not yet been found are written with black pens.

At the end of these Cui family biographies, there are four big characters "burned by fire", which shows the tragedy at that time. And when I turned to the last page, I found some white printer paper in the back of the ledger. There were three black names written on the paper, but they were not Cui.

I looked up at the big bag on the doorframe and asked, "What's going on with these people?" ”

The big bag clasped his nose and said, "Those are all those who broke in by mistake because of the lack of fire, and after knowing the secret of the Cui family, they were secretly buried by the third uncle." ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back. Thinking about the person who was trapped in the toilet last night, you know that the third uncle must have been a ruthless character here.

"Brother Cui Qi, do you still want your body?"

The bag suddenly reminded me, and I realized that my body was still lying on the ground. Lying on the ground in the flesh, am I also a ghost now? Do I mean I'm dead now?

"Big bag, I'm ...... now Can you go back? ”

Dabao nodded and said, "Of course you can go back, your body is well preserved and your longevity is not over, and now you are in a coma." ”

"And how do I get back?"

"This simple ......"

As he spoke, he walked up to me, holding my arm with one hand and the corpse lying on the ground with the other, and shouted "Qi Huo'er." ”

I suddenly felt like my body was starting to get out of control, and it was as if I had been thrown into the undercurrent of the Yellow River. It was difficult to breathe, and the whole person felt dizzy.

But this feeling was just a moment of turning around, and as it went dark in front of my eyes, when I woke up again, I felt like I was filled with the smell of toilets.

With this smell on my body, it is not an exaggeration to say that I was born with fried stinky tofu. As I slowly got up from the ground, I saw the bag in one pocket and the other in his nose.

"I ...... Am I alive now? ”

Just as I was talking to myself, suddenly the phone in my pocket rang. I took out my phone, looked at the caller ID, and suddenly said that it was not good.

Oh no, today is the eldest lady's birthday.

I hurriedly picked up the phone, and sure enough, I heard a bloody storm coming from the other end of the phone. I forgot about her birthday last time, and if I forget it again this time, I'm afraid she will really eat me.

So I looked at Dabao next to me and asked, "Dabao, now that I'm the owner of the inn, can I come and go here freely?" ”

Dabao nodded as if he was a little disappointed, and said, "You're leaving......"

"Right...... yes, I've got something going on outside. ”

"Of course you can leave, otherwise how would you find Qi Cui's family."

Great, I don't want to stay in this place for a quarter of an hour.

I'm covered in biogas right now, but I don't think she minds. But just as I was packing up my clothes and preparing to leave, the big bag grabbed me.

"Anything else?"

"Well, you have to look at the ledger on your first day as a shopkeeper."

"I ...... I still have to look at the ledger? ”

"That's right, in fact, this place is not so much an inn as a land temple in Liulin Town."

"It's not...... What's the matter with this land temple? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? ”

Dabao put down his fingers, walked up to me, looked at me seriously, and said, "Your old Cui family has committed a crime, find the remaining Cui family and get forgiveness, this is the only way for you to relieve your fate." If the underworld finds that you are slacking and lazy, you will be condemned. ”

"This ...... Is there such a trouble? ”

Dabao took out the employee handbook from the cabinet, flipped through one of the pages and handed it to me. I looked at the page with the instructions for the shopkeeper, and the first one was the performance appraisal.

You heard it right, it is the performance appraisal, the prefecture will send a messenger to the appraisal every three months, if the shopkeeper does not find anyone within three months, he will be caught and punished by the prefecture.

As for the second rule, as a shopkeeper, you can't contact your relatives, otherwise you will be imprisoned in the city of vain death, and you can't re-enter the reincarnation until all the Cui family members are found.

This third article is actually an appendix to the first article, and the general meaning of it is that the person who was arrested in the prefecture was thrown directly to the vicious dog village without trial and was sentenced to seven days.

As for the specific description of this vicious dog village, it is also marked in small print on it, and I tremble in my heart when I look at it.

To be honest, as a highly educated young man, I must have scoffed at these things when I saw them. But as I've experienced so many things myself, I've become convinced of these things.

I slowly turned my head to look at the big bag standing beside me and asked, "How long has it been since the last time someone from the underworld came?" ”

"It's been two months."

When I heard it, my heart suddenly cooled because it didn't have much time left for me.
