Chapter 14: The Ancestors

"That'...... In that case, the sound must not be very good, right? ”

When Xiaoxiao said this, her tone was more or less mixed with a hint of disappointment. But it wasn't obvious, and I could feel that Xiaoxiao wanted to talk to me in a cheerful tone as much as possible.

It's just that Xiaoxiao and I have been together for a long time, and others may not be able to see it, but how can I not know.

Although Xiaoxiao didn't say why she suddenly asked about the store's business, I felt like I could more or less guess it.

“…… Drizzly. ”

"Huh?"

“…… It's nothing, how are you doing lately? ”

"Well, of course, hehe...... I don't have anything to worry about, eat well and sleep well, don't worry. ”

"Okay, that's good......"

"Xiaojun, you hurry up and eat, I won't bother you, I'll look for you after a while."

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the phone screen for a long time, and when it automatically dimmed, I couldn't help but let out a slight sigh and returned to the dinner table. The meal was a little cold, but it didn't matter.

Now I feel like I can't eat a mouthful of food.

As I said, Xiaoxiao is on my side when it comes to marriage. She also wants to marry me.

However, when she found out that she couldn't persuade her mother, and I couldn't earn the big money her mother asked for in a short time, she began to deliberately avoid talking about marriage.

She didn't quarrel with me about it, she didn't quarrel with me about it, it was very simple, she was taking care of my self-esteem and didn't want me to get hurt because of it.

But this is just Xiaoxiao's thoughts, as far as I am concerned, I still feel very aggrieved.

A big man has hands and feet, can he still suffocate the money?

That's what I used to think, full of fighting spirit and determination. But now I know.

The big man can not only make people suffocate to death because of money, but sometimes they can also suffocate a mother-in-law who has lost money with a soak of urine.

As a result, I didn't eat a single bite of the food on the table, so I just took my coat and prepared to leave for the store.

My white shop, even if it is open in the early morning, it is meaningless, it is impossible for a living person to have it, and at most it will increase the probability of seeing ghosts.

However, after making a phone call with Xiaoxiao, my heart became inexplicably anxious, and my body began to move.

You can't give up yet, you have to find a way. I can't rely on Xiaoxiao's understanding to mess around.

As I was getting ready to go home, there was a knock on the door. Curious to open the door, I found Wang Er Mazi standing there with a smile.

And this guy looked at me, and then skipped me to see the meal on the small table that was basically unchanged, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Ouch, Brother Jun, are you eating?" Is it okay to take me one? ”

"I'm done eating, you have to eat it."

"Good, good! Ouch, I'm starving! ”

Wang Er Mazi was not polite, he ran out of the house directly, sat down in front of the small table, picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

I looked at Wang Ermazi, took out a cigarette and slowly lit it for myself, took a deep breath, and said, "Why haven't you eaten?" ”

Wang Er Mazi stuffed rice in his mouth, and said hesitantly: "Who said I didn't eat it, I have eaten it." ”

"Then you're still eating like a starving ghost."

Wang Er Mazi swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, you don't understand this, it's not too much to eat in the morning, no, it's only been long after eating, I'm hungry again." ”

Rolling my eyes, I didn't even bother to pay attention to this kid. I know that Wang Er Mazi's nature is not bad, but how to say it, people are too mixed.

This may have something to do with the fact that he has been playing with a group of gangsters since he was a child.,This kid has a very cheerful personality and is familiar.,But he just doesn't have a score when he speaks.,Always like to blow big.。

I admire Wang Ermazi's intelligence gathering ability, and I don't have any private work to take on without this guy.

However, this kid's personality, especially this very mixed feeling, I don't like it very much.

I smoked a cigarette and waited for him to finish eating. After I finished smoking and waited for a while, Wang Er Mazi also finished eating.

"Brother Jun, I'll go wash the dishes for you."

"No need, let's go."

"Oh, okay."

After going out, Wang Er Mazi suddenly said: "Brother Jun, I will help you pay more attention during this time, rest assured, this is like a private work in vain, as long as you look for it, you are not afraid of nothing." ”

“……?” I looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this stubble to me.

"Brother Jun, they are all men, I understand you."

Seeing Wang Ermazi pat me on the shoulder very understandingly, I couldn't help but say curiously: "What do you kid know?" ”

“…… You must have been on my sister-in-law's phone call just now. ”

"Did you hear that? ”

Wang Er Mazi smiled, smiling shamelessly.

"I heard a little bit, and then I couldn't help but listen to the whole thing."

My house has always been very soundproof, after all, it is a cheap and dilapidated apartment. Shaking my head, I didn't bother to bother with him, and went to the store together.

On the way, Wang Ermazi explained his intention - he asked me about the specific remuneration and type of work I hoped for to take on private work. In fact, this kind of private work is essentially dealing with dead people, so there is no difference between types.

However, it is possible to avoid those things that are too evil by stating some conditions.

I told Wang Er Mazi a few things and told him that when I took on private work, remember to avoid my private work that included the characteristics I said.

Wang Er Mazi doesn't talk nonsense with me, about the demons and monsters, I can feel that this kid trusts me very much. But most likely it's because of my dad and grandpa's relationship. I'm not an underground burial master, but this kid still seems to see me as an underground burial master.

When I arrived at the store, it was just as I expected, not to mention the customers, but not even a fly.

Let's just say, I had to be so depressed that I even thought about disguised this white thing, whether to open a grocery store or something part-time.

A comprehensive, multi-functional store can theoretically attract more customers. I think it's a pretty good solution.

However, this approach has a fatal flaw for me – it requires money.

I must have the capital to support my purchase, and I must bear the risk of not being able to sell it.

Money money money money is needed for everything. I felt like my head was getting bigger. The money earned from the Hong family's private work this time really has to be used on the blade, and it is not enough to plug the gap between the teeth.

"Ancestors, if you have a spirit in the sky, help me find a way to make money, this is related to whether the descendants of our Zhang family can continue, I think it is very important."

I sat alone at the bar, staring at the ceiling with my chin propped up, and when I was bored, I began to chat with my ancestors.

"If you don't help me, then if our Zhang family is dead, don't blame me."

The room was silent, and nothing happened.

I sighed lightly and said, "No response means you are acquiescing?" Then do you mean that our Zhang family is also okay? Okay, I'll assume you already know. ”

However, as soon as this sentence was finished, there was a sudden "snap", and a crisp sound sounded from the side.

I was startled, and hurriedly turned my head to look, and found that the dishes containing fruit in front of the coffin of my ancestor had actually fallen, and had been shattered.

I hurriedly walked over to check it, only to find that the fruit on the plate was so fresh that it was not rotten at all, and suddenly I felt a chill in the back of my head.

This orange, grape, apple...... And so on, all of the fruits I put here a week ago. It stands to reason that the coffin of the ancestor should not have the function of a refrigerator, right?

It's just that it's been a week, and it's normal for the fruit to be more or less rotten, where can it be so watery.

What's even more unbelievable is that I placed this coffin in the depths, and there was a wooden fence made of sandalwood nearby.

In other words, unless someone picks up the plate with their hands and throws it on the ground, it is impossible for the plate to fall.

I silently stared at the smashed plate, and a very "kind" picture floated in my mind.

I seem to be able to vaguely see the picture of a group of old men and old ladies just now, hating iron and steel, slamming their plates on the ground......

"Why is this little cub so unambitious! If he dares to kill the queen, let our Zhang family have no descendants, Lao Tzu will beat his ass! ”

- Maybe that's what you're talking about.

I shook my head, sighed, and took the broom to the side and cleaned it.

"I'm sorry Ancestor, just because I didn't say it, I'll do my best, try my best to leave a descendant for our Zhang family, okay?"

Looking at the silence in the room, I had to smile wryly.

"But...... If it really comes to the point where there is no choice, I will pick up the profession left by your ancestors, and I hope that you can understand it and bless me a lot......"

I smiled bitterly, then hung my head deeply, cleaned the floor in front of the coffin, and returned to the front of the bar to lie on my stomach.

As time went on, I felt sleepy for a while, and at first I struggled twice, but then I didn't wait for the guests, so I just obeyed the desire to sleep and fell asleep groggily.

In my sleep, I faintly heard the sound of conversation, and even saw a harmonious scene.

I guess it's a dream again. I've been able to dream lately, and this dream is more bizarre than the other.

For example, this time, I saw that there was an extra group of people in my store, young people, old people, husbands and wives and children.

And they were all talking and laughing in this shop, carefully selecting, and a few old people were sitting at the small table drinking tea and playing chess.

I think this is a scene that I may never see in my lifetime in this white shop.

I never thought there would be so many customers in the white shop. Is it because I think about it day and dream at night? I was so hungry for business that I had this dream.

So, I simply picked up the product and recommended it to them.

As a result, when I reached out and tried to pat an old man on the shoulder, my hand passed directly over his body.

I was stunned all of a sudden, and at this moment, it seemed that all the people in the entire space who were talking and laughing just now were also stunned.
