Chapter 10: The Death of Ah Jiu
For a moment, the room fell silent.
......
When everyone didn't notice it, under the table where the curtain was hanging down, a thin little black hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed the white rabbit toffee scattered on the ground, and quietly took one.
And Uncle Yan, who was silently observing the environment as soon as he entered the house, although he didn't see the black hand, he found the disappeared toffee, he continued to smile, but this time it was no longer a warm smile, but a sneer with disdain.
Uncle Yan took out a cigarette, lit a fire, and put the cigarette case and lighter on the table.
After taking a slow puff of cigarette, he faced Ah Jiu and said in a cold voice: "Ah Jiu, I have watched you since I was a child, and you still like to play these evil and crooked things?"
Then, Uncle Yan took out his gold tooth and took a few steps forward and asked.
"Where is Ah Dong now?"
When the two were talking, they didn't notice that Aunt Mei, who was originally sitting, had quietly gotten up and sneaked towards a copper stove.
"Aunt Mei, when you're old, don't dance with knives and guns."
Just as Aunt Mei was holding up the copper furnace high and wanted to smash it at Uncle Yan, a hand firmly grasped her wrist.
The next moment, the heavy copper furnace in his hand was snatched away.
"Aunt Mei, you!"
Uncle Yan turned his head and looked at Aunt Mei, his eyes full of astonishment and sadness.
He didn't expect that the residents who wanted to protect would want to hurt or even kill themselves.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao followed.
Uncle Yan cast a grateful look at Lin Zhao.
......
"Ah Jiu, what is the matter between you and Aunt Mei that you are hiding from us?"
This time, it was an angry question.
"Can't! No! You can't stop Ah Dong from coming back! No! β
Aunt Mei collapsed instantly, staring at the ground, muttering to herself, her demeanor was similar to when Yang Feng was crazy.
Then, she raised her head, used all her strength to push Lin Zhao away, and actually grabbed the door and walked out.
Lin Zhao was holding the copper furnace in one hand, and he was pushed hard, so he almost didn't stand firm, so he didn't care about holding Aunt Mei.
"Alas, Aunt Mei should be home, let's go, go to her house, and everything will be understood."
Ah Jiu sighed, as if he had figured it out, and said slowly: "That day, I saw Ah Dong's body downstairs and told Aunt Mei."
"She begged me, begged me to save Adong. So, I taught her how to refine corpses. β
Syllable!
Uncle Yan raised his hand angrily and gave Ah Jiuyi a slap.
"You actually taught Aunt Mei to refine corpses?"
"People can't be resurrected after death, this is the principle of heaven, how can you go against the sky!"
Then he shouted to Lin Zhao: "Ah Zhao, let's go!"
"Let's go? Where to go? β
"Go to the food stall and find Ayou!"
With that, Uncle Yan left the room without looking back.
"Ah Jiu, you also heard it, don't go against the sky."
In the original plot, Uncle Dong was pushed downstairs by Ah Jiu and died, but Ah Jiu's description pushed the responsibility cleanly, which had to make Lin Zhao pay attention.
Thinking that Ah Jiu wouldn't live long, Lin Zhao didn't want to make more trouble and stimulate Ah Jiu and Aunt Mei, so he only left a sentence and left.
I hope Ah Jiu doesn't do anything wrong again.
Lin Zhao said in his heart.
......
Bang β
The door of Aunt Mei's room was kicked open by Ayou.
The strong smell of medicine mixed with another strange smell instantly broke into the nasal cavity of Lin Zhao, Uncle Yan, and Ayou, making them subconsciously cover their noses.
"It's the smell of corpses."
Ayou said.
Following the taste, the three came to the bathroom.
"Old man, are you cold?"
"Old man, when are you coming back?"
"I miss you so much!"
Aunt Mei's intermittent sobbing sound came from behind the hidden door, and Uncle Yan suddenly couldn't bear it.
"Aunt Mei, Uncle Dong is no longer here, let him go with peace of mind."
Ayou pushed open the door and said softly.
Aunt Mei didn't respond, just buried her head and wept secretly.
The bathtub she was leaning against was littered with dirt.
Uncle Dong's body was quietly buried in the dirt.
"Tomorrow, help me contact the funeral home, I want Ah Dong to walk better."
After a while, Aunt Mei wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and said, her voice was hoarse due to the endless grief and long crying.
......
Aunt Mei finally let it go.
......
The night passed.
"Jingle bells! It's time to get off work! β
"Coming back to the original world! Prepare your hosts! β
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the system prompt tone sounded on time!
Lin Zhao successfully finished the 7th day of work.
Hopefully everything will go well tomorrow as well.
......
When Lin Zhao prayed like this, the other side.
Inside Ah Jiu's room.
"Ahemβahem."
Ah Jiu coughed violently, occasionally coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground because of the constant coughing.
Unwillingly, I haven't lived enough, why am I going to die!
I'm going to live, I'm going to live.
Ah Jiu showed a firm look, exerted his hands with his strength, and handed the cigarette stained with his own blood to his mouth tremblingly.
......
"The host has been detected to have started working, and the mission world "Zombie" has successfully clocked in on the 8th day!"
"Now distributes a sign-in reward - blood-stained costumes!"
"Name: Bloodstained Costume."
"Function: When worn, it can resist the attacks of ordinary ghosts."
"Note: I don't know how many years I haven't washed ......"
The exquisite but blood-stained robe fell into Lin Zhao's hands.
Lin Zhao nodded, very satisfied.
Yin and Yang Eye Contact, Flashlight, Glutinous Rice, and Peach Wood Sword are all means of attack, and they cannot resist the attacks of ghosts.
If you run into a ghost who likes to engage in sneak attacks, you will inevitably suffer, but now, with a costume, it is equivalent to an extra layer of insurance.
It's the last day, so hopefully it will go as smoothly as yesterday.
Before the system gave a punishment prompt, Lin Zhao walked quickly to the meter room, and only relieved himself after seeing Xiaobai, who was already asleep in Yang Feng's arms.
Xiaobai also survived.
Because in the original plot, Xiaobai died during the day, and he couldn't take care of it.
Although Aunt Mei has changed her mind, for the sake of insurance, yesterday Lin Zhao specially told Uncle Yan and others to be optimistic about Xiaobai, especially not to let the latter leave an order.
The fate of Uncle Yan, Xiaobai, and Aunt Mei has changed, which makes Lin Zhao feel relaxed and happily complete the first patrol.
......
Whoa, whoa, whoa-
The bathroom was filled with the smell of blood.
Ah Jiu lay in the bathtub and poured the fresh boy's blood that he had bought with all his savings on his head and body one by one.
As a result, the tiles were stained with a little blood.
After turning himself into a bloody man, Ah Jiu smoked his last cigarette.
After a while, he flicked off the cigarette butt, took out a sharp paper cutter, and gently touched the blade.
Take a gamble, if it goes well, it won't take seven days, and you can return to your soul in one day.
The next moment, Ah Jiu aimed the knife at himself and cut his carotid artery almost without hesitation.
"Ho-ho, remember, do as I taught you."
"When it's done, I'll let you go."
"Remember, must remember."
Ah Jiu subconsciously covered his wounds, turned his head with great effort, and gave his last order as a human to the group of imps who were standing or squatting in the bathroom.
After repeating "remember" a few times, Ah Jiu's wide-eyed eyes gradually lost their brilliance.
He's dead.
......
A group of little ghosts suddenly made a "hee-hee-ha" slapstick sound.
While getting together to play and eat candy, he lit a few runes left by Ah Jiu and added the last stroke of Ah Jiu's formation on the ground.
A few others drifted to a cabinet in the corner, and used candles to burn the red rope that bound the cabinet.
