Chapter 102: The City That Never Sleeps II

There was such a commotion in the tea room, and all kinds of eyes sent away the 'red rose' and turned to me and Lu Xuefeng who were stalemate at the table. It's okay now, it's a shame to be thrown home.

I lowered my head and ignored Lu Xuefeng's gaze, calmly calmed down and sat down again, if you want to go, you can go, wait for the people around me to make noise, and then leave.

Seeing me sit down, Lu Xuefeng also wiped the sweat from his forehead as if in a false alarm, and sat back in his place. Seeing that the eyes around him were still looking at us, he paused a little embarrassedly, and changed the topic with me while pouring tea: "Listening to Xue Lan accidentally talking about it last time, I feel that you are very much like a sister." Said that before going to Aoi's house, I found that you lived alone in an apartment...... The family? ”

Lu Xuefeng's words couldn't help but stunned me.

Family, he actually asked about his family. How do I answer......

Indifferently holding the bamboo teacup, I lowered my eyelashes and stared at the color of the pupils in the clear tea. It was as if the ripples in the water and the lights in the tea room were distorted like a sea of fire, just like the fire that year......

I pursed my mouth, forcing myself to throw away all these memories, my eyebrows relaxed, and I slowly replied: "No, I am an only child, and I lived with my grandmother and the brother of the Yang family's cousin when I was very young. But they ...... It's gone. ”

After speaking, I looked at him calmly, and the connotation of the last sentence was so obvious, which meant that I would not mention it again, and I hope he could talk about it on another topic......

"I'm sorry to talk about your sadness. I am in the Lu family, maybe I am better than you in this regard...... My mother was chosen as a garrison of the Ghost Realm and has been dead for many years. Luckily, I still have Xuelan. Speaking of which, the entire Lu family has been operating around this ghost world for so many years. Sometimes I really think that I would have been dead compared to you. ”

In the afterglow, Lu Xuefeng's hand trembled slightly, his voice was slightly dry and hoarse, revealing a sense of nothingness that looked up to the sky and howled.

Early death? Do you despise your own life so much? is so taboo, and it is a shame that he dares to say it......

Looking at his thoughtful look, I couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Now it's time for me to change the subject. As the surrounding area grew noisy, I touched a small bamboo tube stained with dry sticky rice in one hand, and my eyes looked out of the tea room from time to time.

There are all kinds of strange costumes here, people in dynastic costumes, they are either shouting at the counters of various shops, or burying their heads in the accounts, and some of them are sorting out the goods in their burdens, they are all living people like me.

Except for those who make a living, there are many traveling merchants. However, there are also many demons and monsters. Let's take the tea room, except for the steaming food on the table of Lu Xuefeng and me, the customers at several tables around are covered with a thick layer of white cloth, and the cold dishes on the table are cold and about to freeze.

These are supposed to be ghosts, right?

I looked around and continued to look out the door, where several severed heads were chasing and running and raising a cloud of yellow dust, and there was a long-tongued female ghost with a white silk around her neck, lying on a wanderer's glass case looking at a new style of hairpin.

It's really Alice in Wonderland, people and ghosts coexist in such harmony, it must be the world's first wonder when it is spread.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but giggle, and when I caught a glimpse of Lu Xuefeng's puzzled look when I looked at me, I quickly turned around to look at him, put away my stupid look, and explained: "Speaking of which, this wine is very special, the fish and dragons are mixed, and people and ghosts coexist. I never thought of it before......"

"This is the capital of Xudu, the territory under the jurisdiction of Yin Shuai Jidu, and the territory he owns is a territory that symbolizes liberation and relaxation. The power of human beings is immeasurable, and as the only realm in Huangquan Naihe that connects the two worlds, there are many sorcerers who are good at spells and psychic; A traveling merchant who has been running a business trip in the ghost world for generations; There are also some people who enter the ghost world to find relatives through chance......"

Psychic? That is, is there really such a person as a half-immortal?

The words of the traveling merchant should be people like Lu Xuefeng and them, who make a living from the business of the ghost world.

As for the search for relatives...... I don't know if I can find my parents here and ask about the fire.

"Ordinary souls rarely stay in the capital, and basically they all rush past and go straight to the reincarnation." Lu Xuefeng on the side saw my mind just right every time, and a simple sentence vetoed the things I was thinking in my heart.

Why is he so punctual every time......

"Then what are these so-called small part of your souls stranded in the ghost realm for?" In front of me, the drunken capital is so dazzling and noisy, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where a few people stay. So what are these ghosts doing here?

"Seeing that I am rich, the world is peaceful...... It is good for people to avoid misfortune and blessing. You don't know, do you? If everyone is reincarnated in a hurry, where is there any talk of ghost banks and commercial banks? If a person can make money in the human world, he can change his life, and if a ghost can make money in the ghost world, he can also change his fate in the next life. ”

Change your life!

It's really rich that can make ghosts grind, and even the king of Yama has to be extra gracious if he is rich!

Then I don't have a single child in my body now, so I don't want to do anything anymore.

"This ...... It's amazing, right? I used to think that people can't take anything with them after they die, and the last thing that should be rare in life is money and other things like waste paper.

But in Lu Xuefeng's explanation, this kind of thinking was slapped in the face.

It's simply ...... It's too realistic!

"What do you think? This has gone through thousands of years, people and ghosts from all dynasties and generations abound here, and the Lu family's underworld money industry has never been at a low point, isn't it because this ghost world is in great demand? The money spent in the human world is actually a drop in the bucket in front of the money spent in the ghost world...... Changing one's life is like an apple on a tree, there are so many people who want to get it, but it's not easy to get it. Another sigh, I looked at Lu Xuefeng suspiciously, I always felt that he had a taste of empathy, could it be that he had been guarding this terrible family business in order to change his life?

If it were me, give me millions, and I wouldn't want to deal with ghosts every day in the ghost world. If it weren't for that inexplicable contract, I was in the Ghost Realm Bank......

Well, actually, I can't run at all, and I'm still not delusional.

Swallowing the last orange cake, I drank the tea from my cup again. I was called down in a hurry before, and my stomach was really hungry. If it weren't for Lu Xuefeng, I probably wouldn't have known that I would be hungry for days in this ghost world.

At another table not far away, a ghost dragged a heavy, yellowed white cloth, and a black smoke leaked under his feet. He was talking to the proprietress who had helped us with the order, and as if he hadn't agreed, he slammed the whole table.

The proprietress in red rushed over when she heard the sound, and slapped the ghost's white robe hard without hesitation, instantly peeling off the ghost's whole body.

The two sharp boning knives were horizontal, and they viciously said angrily to the ghost who smashed the table: "If you smash it, you will also give money!" These four cold dishes are allowed to eat as you like! I'm crazy Erniang, I'm not easy to mess with! ”

Xu is red-clothed boss crazy Erniang shouted loudly, and the ghost slammed down to lose his domineering, Mu Ne's hand grabbed a cold dish and stuffed it into his mouth, and then handed over all the money bags on his waist to the proprietress.

What's going on here?

This ghost is just a broken table, there is no need to be so pitiful.

I looked at Lu Xuefeng embarrassedly, but he continued to taste the tea in his hand with an indifferent face, not looking at the chaotic scene over there at all.

Is it commonplace?

"The ghosts here look different from what you see in the Luo family, they don't seem to be so hateful, and if you don't look carefully, they're no different from ordinary people. And it seems to be a vulnerable group......"

"Huh? Isn't it? He dislikes the cold dishes made by other people's proprietresses and spent the night! When Lu Xuefeng heard what I said, he couldn't help but sneer, whispered to my ear and finished speaking, and left me alone in the wind like a nobody.

Overnight......

Stay overnight......
