Chapter 278: Why Are You Here (4,000 Words)
"Where did you get this paper money?"
Su Bai found a total of five such paper coins from the shelves.
There are no portraits printed on the paper, only some kind of bright red bouquet similar to the other side flower and a very traditional thing like the Lechuan River, and most of the amounts on it are scribbled, the amount is huge, starting from hundreds of thousands, and there are also millions, which is not unusual.
Anyway, in the eyes of these living, the money in the underworld is like it will not be inflationary, and the more money you give, the better.
As everyone knows, the current prefecture has not opened currency business at all.
In general, there is nothing special about it, and even the patterns printed on it seem to be made in a small workshop, very unclear and even ghosted, belonging to the type that is also very inferior in the paper money world, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the ground.
But what really caught his attention was that the paper money was almost exactly the same as the one he had taken from the Zunyue Society before!
If nothing else, the effect should be similar.
This made him a little strange.
This boss also looks ordinary, there is no mysterious physique and no ghostly spirit, where did you get all this paper money?
Could it be that he was so lucky, and as soon as he went out, he found a secret whistle that Zunyue learned?
At this time, the boss also looked at the paper money in his hand suspiciously: "This thing...... Have I ever bought any of these items in my store? ”
"Ah, yes!"
He slammed his head: "I remember, this thing was given to me by a strange woman!" ”
"Strange woman?"
"yes, it was about half a month ago. Speaking of which, it was around this time, and I used to make paper ties and wreaths here alone in the middle of the night to cultivate inspiration, so I often opened the door until late. ”
The shopkeeper began to recall, and subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette, but when he thought of where he was, he shrank back, slurped, and continued.
"That day I was sitting here sitting on the paper figurines, and suddenly I heard someone at the door asking me how to sell the paper figurines, I looked back and saw a woman standing in the shadow under the lantern at the door, I don't know when, a little shabby and shabby dressed."
"I was very impressed by the woman, she looked okay, but she had a big scar on her face, as if she had been burned by fire. And her face is not very pale, and she keeps talking with her head half-down and doesn't look at people, which makes me feel like looking at a dead person, weird. ”
At that time, I was concentrating on my work and didn't think much about it, but when I looked at the two paper-tied boys and girls she pointed to, I said the price. She took the money out of her pocket and put it on the shelf, picked up her things and left. ”
"I didn't care about it at the time, but when I got up and looked at it after I was done, I found that the little girl who looked very poor and honest dared to fool me with paper money, and the quality was so poor! It almost me off! ”
Speaking of this, the boss was still a little whiskered and glared, obviously angry, and took two breaths before continuing.
"But I think that girl is also pitiful, and she is too lazy to see such a small thing of a hundred yuan as her."
It seems that this boss has a good heart.
Su Bai nodded lightly, thoughtful in his eyes.
I didn't expect to have this kind of harvest after a trip.
"Then which paper man she bought, can you show me?"
The boss nodded briskly: "Okay, you see the two boys and girls at this door, the sales are not bad, are you interested in buying one too?" This kind of going back to burn your deceased relatives can also relieve their boredom under the Nine Springs, and they won't be too lonely......"
"The boss can't talk nonsense, no one in my family has an accident." Su Bai shook his head.
"Ah, then you're going to buy this?" The boss looked at the paper carts with some confusion.
"Buy it back and play with it yourself."
Su Bai smiled, but these words made him a little suspicious of life.
"Playing on your own? And this fetish? ”
This kind of paper car can't even sit in children, and the material is already soft, and it will be flattened if you pinch it casually, how can it sit on people?
The guest looked quite fierce, but he was unexpectedly joking.
Su Bai glanced at the pair of small paper figures at the door, about half a person tall, with a slightly red face, and the cartoonish style was not too realistic and bluffing.
But in this eerie environment, it's a little scary.
"Then I'll take a pair back with me, boss, how much do you settle the bill......"
"Okay!"
……
With these bought things, Su Bai quickly returned to the underworld.
But these paper cars are still paper cars, nothing has changed.
He tried to burn one for himself, but there was nothing left but ashes in the ground.
He couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong.
"These paper cars themselves are just ordinary mortal papers, although the owner of the paper shop made them into cars, but the essence has not changed after all."
"In other words, you have to change their essence first?"
Su Bai thought about it, picked up a paper cart, and tried to convey a little incense power into it.
In an instant, a faint light emanated from above, and then disappeared again.
This time, Su Bai picked up the lighter and set the paper cart on fire.
At the moment when the paper car began to burn, he suddenly sensed something, turned his head to look, and saw the shadow of a car slowly appearing not far from him!
And the order in which it appears is shown according to the progress of the burning.
For example, after the paper car burns the front of the car, the front of the car appears in the clearing.
As it burned faster and faster, the vehicle began to take on more form in front of him.
When the paper car is burned, the whole car will appear!
The shape of the car is decent, basically the same as the appearance of the paper car, probably after being enlarged more than ten times.
But when he went up and touched it, he found that the material of this real car was still paper, whether it was the doors, lights, or engine seats inside, etc., it was all rough paper texture to the touch.
It's just that these papers are very tough, far from being comparable to the original ordinary paper wheels.
He felt that even if the real car collided with the paper car, it would still be a problem who would scrap it first.
Of course, in fact, a real car in the mortal world can't hit this paper car.
Curious, he sat down and tried to start it, and the paper car actually started decently, and it could move forward with one foot on the accelerator, and the power was very sufficient......
It was only after he got out of the car that he found that the wheels of the car were also made of paper, and they were glued to it, so he couldn't move at all, so the so-called movement just now was actually the whole car floating on the ground.
With no drag, and the vehicle is extremely light, it's no wonder that the speed has increased so quickly.
"Well, that's a good thing."
Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
It's not in vain that he's worked so hard for so long to tinker with these things.
He suddenly thought of something, and turned his head and summoned Ge Ningjian.
"My lord, what do you command?" Ge Ningjian asked respectfully.
Recently, after Su Bai put him in charge of the errand room, he summoned several ghost messengers, but the manpower to deal with this city with a population of millions was still far from enough, so it was quite busy every day.
Immediately, he saw the paper cart behind Su Bai at a glance, and couldn't help but pause.
"What is this?"
"It's something I've researched recently, and although it looks a little weird, it can drive as well as a mortal vehicle."
Su Bai patted the shell of the paper car, and it made a "bang" sound.
Very sturdy indeed.
"So it occurred to me that Onicha usually walks or flies when he does errands outside, which is really inconvenient and physically demanding. So consider whether to give you a car, so that the efficiency of things can be improved a lot. ”
"That's a good idea!" Ge Ningjian was a little surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in surprise, bowed down and said, "Then Master Lao will have to bother and work hard!" ”
Su Bai then concocted the same method, and transformed all the remaining paper cars into vehicles that could really be driven by ghosts.
When he saw the seven "official cars" full of neatly arranged, Su Bai felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and felt that his prefecture had successfully advanced a little further to keep up with the progress of modernization!
He pondered for a while, hoping that after catching the ghosts of a few programmers, he could also purchase some computers next time, so that his prefecture could keep up with the Internet era, and then statistical management would be more convenient.
Anyway, it's definitely much more convenient than everyone writing with a brush like the ancients now.
Here, Ge Ningjian has a driver's license, and he found a few other ghost pawns who can drive to drive these cars to the errand room together, so that the next time he goes out to catch ghosts, he won't have to walk hard by himself.
However, Su Bai's most interesting thing is, of course, to transform his own car.
He handed it over to the two mechanics.
In short, let them try to dismantle the paper money and the real car, and then all become one.
He also made a promise that if they could be modified to his satisfaction, maybe if a car repair department was really set up in the underworld in the future, the two of them could also become veterans and be petty officials.
These words naturally made them instantly motivated, where they still want to be lazy, they are working overtime for the future of development!
Su Bai didn't continue to watch here, he saw that the time was almost up, and then went back to the mortal world first.
I picked up the puppet doll first.
The remaining two bodies have been transformed, and they are all the same standard perfect figures, with blank faces for future transformation.
Su Bai replaced Li Peng's body, after all, that guy was too eye-catching, not only wanted by the alliance government, but also stared at by his sister, so it was not good to show up openly during the day.
Instead, the puppet doll was re-made with an ordinary-looking body to make sure it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
His own essence was still resting in the branch of the Strange News Society, so he used this body to take Su Yun to play around outside.
The little girl's wish since childhood is to be like an ordinary child, to walk in the sun, not to be afraid of other people's eyes, and to enjoy the beauty of childhood.
Now that he finally has the opportunity, he is very happy to wrap around Su Bai's side, and his smile has not stopped for half a day.
It wasn't until she sent her back to the house that Du Rong gave her to let her rest and take care of the house by the way, she was still a little reluctant, but it was only after Su Bai promised her a lot of benefits that she let him go.
For the rest of the day, Su Bai changed to his own body, and after talking to Shen Suxian, he left the base of the Hearsay branch first.
Shen Suxian was naturally not at ease, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he didn't forget to catch up and ask: "The whereabouts of that Li Peng outside have not been determined yet, and it is still a little dangerous for you to go out by yourself now." ”
"Why don't I arrange for a few security guards to be with you, so that at least that guy doesn't dare to do it as easily as before......"
Su Bai knew his own affairs, of course he wouldn't be afraid of harming himself, but he couldn't say it clearly, he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, Li Peng is probably hiding now after the last blow, so there shouldn't be much of a problem." ”
"And there's no way I'm going to stay here all the time, there's a lot of work waiting for me out there. What's more, this time I'm going to visit Lin Wanqin, so it's a little inappropriate for people to follow......"
Shen Suxian only then understood, glanced at him meaningfully, and then nodded lightly.
Of course, she also knew that since Su Bai and Lin Wanqin had become a couple, it was inevitable that there would be some intimate actions, and some private words in the boudoir were naturally not good for others to watch.
"Then you have to be careful, Xiao Lin should be able to be discharged from the hospital soon, if something goes wrong with you at that time, the girl will probably die of sadness."
She made a little joke, though not funny.
……
When Su Bai arrived at the hospital, he happened to see a cute little girl with a ponytail and a hospital gown who was helping behind the nurse in the waiting hall on the first floor.
From time to time, I handed a cup of hot water to the patients here, and comforted and comforted the crying children.
If she changes her clothes, I'm afraid that some people really think that she is the nurse here, and she really has a lot of affinity, and anyone who sees her will show a friendly smile.
"Now, this kind of well-behaved little girl is rare, and she looks so handsome!"
When Su Bai passed by an aunt, he happened to hear her discussing happily with the people around her while holding hot tea.
He couldn't help but pause in his steps.
"Yes, I don't know how old this girl is, it just so happens that my kid has had a conflict with his girlfriend recently, I have long seen that his girlfriend doesn't like it, and it's hard to serve, so it's better to let my son get to know him......"
"Oh, just your son, almost thirty years old, people are still like a wood, how can you please such a clever little girl, I happen to have a nephew, who came back from studying abroad in the alliance, he is handsome and sweet, I think it's better to give me the opportunity......"
Seeing that these two aunts were going to quarrel over the question of the ownership of this "watery cabbage", Su Bai on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
At this time, the little girl inadvertently glanced back at this side, her eyes paused for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on her little face.
Then without hesitation, in full view of everyone in the hall, he ran directly and threw himself into his arms, rubbing his little face on his chest, greedily smelling the familiar smell on his body, and muttering in a coquettish voice.
"Why are you here......"
