Chapter 5: Hungry Tricks

What a gentle voice.

I walked to the door and opened it.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a very beautiful woman standing at the door.

The woman was wearing a white knitted woolen sweater, and her whole body was wrapped in bumps.

She was slightly stunned when she saw me.

"You are?"

I immediately explained.

"Oh, I was asked by Zhao Heng to come and get the goods."

The woman frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Why didn't this guy come by himself?"

I don't know how to explain it, I can only say that Zhao Heng has something, so I was asked to come.

The woman looked displeased, but she picked up the basket and took out a small wooden box from it and handed it to me.

"You go back and tell him that it's time to settle the accounts for the first half of the year."

Then he turned around and left.

After the woman left, I glanced at the time, and it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, the firewood in the room was almost burned.

I figured to myself, it's cold to stay here, and I've got my stuff anyway, so I'll have to go back now.

He got up and walked out the door.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I was dumbfounded.

The dilapidated corridor had changed completely, as if it had been ten years since it had been overgrown with green vines, the walls had become dilapidated, and the bricks had broken in some places.

The road I came from turned into a big empty hole.

The weirdest thing is that when I remembered, it was only a four-story staircase, but now when I lean down and look down, it is pitch black and I can't see the bottom at all.

At this moment, a jade hand suddenly covered my mouth.

I was startled and just turned around.

Finding out that it was the woman who had just given me the goods, she covered my mouth and made a boo gesture before pointing to the large empty hole.

I looked in the direction of her finger.

At the entrance of the dark cavern, some strange creatures were climbing up the stones on the edge.

On closer inspection, I realized that the creatures seemed to be babies more than ten months old, with long umbilical cords even attached to their bodies.

Sniffing around while crawling, it seems to be sniffing the smell.

Such a creepy scene suddenly made my scalp tingle, but fortunately, after experiencing so much, my ability to resist blows has become much stronger.

The woman pulled me back, and soon retreated to the room where I had been staying.

She slammed the door shut.

Then he said.

"Fortunately, I haven't saved your life yet, didn't your master tell you that it's a hungry ghost here at night?"

"Hungry Ghost Dao?"

"That's right, it's the hungry ghost Dao in the Six Realms, whether you are Zhao Heng's apprentice or not, don't you know?" The woman looked at me in disbelief, as if she had doubts about my identity.

"I'm not actually his apprentice." I smiled bitterly and told her everything that had happened.

"I see." The woman nodded understandingly.

"It's quite in line with the style of the door-picker."

"Boy, my name is Shuxue, you owe me my life this time." The woman patted me on the shoulder.

Then he handed me a business card.

"This is my business card, you can find me if you can't get anything in the future, of course, the price is not cheap."

I nodded and took the card.

After Shuxue chatted with me a few more words, she said that she had something to leave first, and when she left, she told me to go out at dawn.

This is the first time I've met a girl who cares about me so much, and I have a little more affection for Shuxue.

After the scene just now, I didn't dare to go out again.

By dawn, I was shivering with cold, my snot was about to come out, and when I saw the sun outside, I opened the door and took a look.

By this time, the large hole in the hallway had disappeared and was restored to the old dilapidated staircase.

I walked out of the Twin Restaurants, took a taxi on the side of the road, and went straight to the office after coming to Guomao.

The door of the office was open, and Zhao Heng was wiping a small tripod inside.

He asked after seeing me.

"You're back, have you brought anything back?"

I shuddered and took out the small wooden box from Shuxue and handed it to him.

He opened it and looked at it and nodded.

"yes, that's what I want."

"By the way, they said that you should settle the accounts for the first half of the year earlier." I told Zhao Heng what Shuxue had told me.

Zhao Heng frowned.

"You'd better worry about your own business, and have less contact with that woman, she's not a good stubble."

Then he threw a towel directly at me.

"I've prepared a bucket of sesame oil and water for you in the backyard, you go wash it. The place you went to last night was not an ordinary place, and the yin qi was a little heavier. ”

Can I finally take a hot shower, I'm already a little hypothermic at this point.

But Zhao Heng actually thought of preparing hot water for me, could this guy be cold on the outside and hot on the inside?

I came to the backyard, and sure enough, there was a bucket of hot water with a faint layer of oil splashing on it.

I jumped into the barrel without hesitation.

A sense of warmth.

Comfortable.

After a while, Zhao Heng walked in.

"Oh, yes."

Zhao Heng took out another sign from his pocket and threw it to me.

"Later, after you finish taking a shower, take this brand and go to the paper shop in the east of the city to buy some black paper money and go back."

"What is black paper money?" I asked.

I've heard of gold ingots, yellow paper, or anything like that, but I've never heard of black paper money.

"It's just that the paper money is soaked in corpse oil, and after drying, it's black, and the little ghost likes these the most. Remember to buy more, whether you can live until I save you depends on the paper money. ”
