Chapter 13 The Poor

As he said this, Wang Ermazi gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "That old guy, it was obviously because of him that I was injured, but he asked me for the exact medical expenses, which cost several thousand yuan! How could he?" Don’t grab it!” I walked slowly, looked at the indignant Wang Ermazi, and said, "If you don't want to pay him, you can refuse him. I don't think he asked you to take his medicine." Wang Ermazi said angrily, "Brother Jun, don't you see how scary this old guy's words are. If you don't take medicine, it's only a matter of time before you turn into a zombie. Maybe one day you'll wake up and be lying in bed." In the grave... Damn it, isn't this just forcing me to buy his medicine!" "People have to live, and I mean, Mazi, you're not the one who's short of thousands of dollars, so why bother with it." "I just can't get angry! Humph... We'll see, if the medicine that old guy gave me doesn't work, I'll go straight to his door to settle the score with him!" I shook my head helplessly, but I was laughing secretly in my heart. In fact, I know why things happened unexpectedly at that time . I have asked Emperor Guan about this matter before, because I also feel it is a bit strange. The awls in the hands of Guan Tianzi and I both worked normally, but only the jade awl in Wang Ermazi's hand was ineffective. The cat demon was not afraid at all, and instead rushed towards Wang Ermazi like a madman. In this regard, Guan Tianzi told me quite naturally that the purpose of the jade cone he gave to Wang Ermazi was not to restrain the cat demon at all, but to attract the cat demon's attention - which was equivalent to ridicule. In other words, Wang Ermazi let Guan Tianzi trick him, and he acted as a bait by setting an example. Taking advantage of this gap, Guan Tianzi subdued the cat demon. "Then why didn't you say it in the first place?" "That guy is cunning and cowardly. Do you think he can do it if you tell him?" I very much agree with Guan Tianzi's statement, so I plan to hide this matter until Wang Ermazi is reincarnated. Then, I have consulted with Guan Tianzi about the precognitive dream, and the answer he gave was not to tell anyone about it for the time being. He himself seemed a little unsure - the so-called precognitive dream was naturally impossible for a professional demon slayer like Guan Tianzi to have heard of. However, like me, he had never seen anyone who had a precognitive dream. Moreover, I am also doubtful about this so-called precognitive dream. Why do you suddenly enter a state of predicting dreams? Is this something I have no control over? If this isn't a precognitive dream, what is it? Is it related to my identity as a descendant of the underground burial master? In short, I have come to the conclusion that this precognitive dream is most likely related to my identity as a descendant of the underground burial master, and looking at it now, it seems to be no harm to me. On the contrary, if it weren't for the precognitive dream I had this time and knowing the location of the cat demon's spirit, I think I, Guan Tianzi, and Wang Ermazi would have met on the Huangquan Road. After leaving the Hong family and returning to Qingyun Town, Wang Ermazi and I also separated and each returned to our own homes. This experience was quite thrilling for me. First it was the cat demon, then it was the precognitive dream, and then it was the zombie that Hong Yan transformed into. Although I hate to admit it, I always feel like I am one step closer to those dirty things. However, this is not good news for me, nor for my father and grandfather who have passed away. When my grandfather and father were alive, they told me never to touch the burial scriptures again. I thought the same way myself. Nothing else, I'm almost the same age, get married to my current girlfriend and have a baby, find a job that can make money and live a normal life, this is the right way. After I got home, I washed up first. When I took a shower, I checked my whole body carefully for fear of leaving any wounds. But my body was very clean, and there was nothing else except some scratches. The back where the cat demon scratched me was also clean, without leaving any scars. This also made me let go. Heart. Lying on my bed, I looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What happened this time also made me realize once again that this line of work is by no means a long-term solution. But now I'm so short of money. To be honest, if I don't continue to take over the private work of these evil people through Wang Ermazi, I don't have any skills. Let alone making a lot of money, I won't be able to find a job that can make a living. Easy things. This time I solved Hong Yan's matter at Hong's house. Although the process was very dangerous, in the end I counted the money and found that I had earned a few tens of thousands of yuan, which was not a small amount. Although this has a very important relationship with the Hong family's wealth, the price for such private work is generally not very low. After all, it is a relatively special industry and has its own threshold. Thinking about the long talk I had with my girlfriend some time ago and being sprayed all over my body by my future mother-in-law, I couldn't help but close my eyes and let out a deep sigh. If I don't even have the money to pay for the down payment of the wedding house where I will live after we get married, according to my mother-in-law, she will never marry her daughter to me unless she dies. My girlfriend is not a particularly strong-willed girl, but her mother insists on it, which actually makes her very embarrassed. My girlfriend Cheng Xiaoxiao and I have a pretty good relationship. Xiaoxiao and I met when we were very young, and we established a romantic relationship when we were in high school, and we have been talking about it ever since. Of course, Xiaoxiao is on my side when it comes to marriage. She also wants to marry me and live together, but her mother’s opposition is too strong. As time goes by, I can feel that Xiaoxiao herself is a little shaken. got up. During this period of time, we deliberately did not contact each other as often as before, and every time we contacted, we tried not to talk about marriage. I know that Xiaoxiao is taking my emotions into consideration, and at the same time, she must be very distressed herself. I never hide anything from Xiaoxiao. She also knows my financial situation very well and knows that it is basically impossible for me to collect a large sum of money in a short period of time. However, we can't keep delaying the matter just because of this. To be precise, the marriage was officially mentioned in the middle of last year. From that time on, Xiaoxiao and I had been seriously thinking about getting married. The foundation of my relationship with Xiaoxiao is there, so everything is easy to talk about. Only when there is a mother-in-law who only cares about money and falls in the eyes of money, money becomes the biggest problem. Completely different from Xiaoxiao, my mother-in-law is a very strong person, so if I don’t prepare enough money as she said, I will never want to get the certificate with Xiaoxiao. Under such circumstances, I even doubted that I would be unable to refuse the private job that Wang Ermazi found for me, even if I knew that this matter was full of dangers and that if I failed, I would kill myself. The business store my father left me couldn't make even two cents, so it was considered good if it didn't lose money. In fact, now I can't even support myself if I don't do something else. These days, not to mention whether ghosts really exist, fewer and fewer people are willing to spend more money on this thing. If it was my father's time, it would not be particularly difficult for a Baishi store to make money. "...Oh, go to sleep. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when you wake up." I shook my head, opened the quilt and covered myself, ready to sleep. It was still early, but I was exhausted from all the hard work today. It didn’t take long for my consciousness to gradually blur, and then I fell into sleep. I don’t know how long it took, but my consciousness gradually woke up. Then, I vaguely saw a figure in the blur. It was a woman, and I could only vaguely see her face—the entire space was in a slowly distorted state, making it difficult to distinguish clearly. But, despite this, I felt a sense of intimacy from this woman. She seemed to be holding a baby in her arms, rocking it gently, humming softly in her nose, with a gentle and sweet voice. And the song gently resounded in my mind, making my consciousness clearer and clearer. "Looks like I'm in a dream again." This feeling is not unfamiliar—it was the same feeling when I appeared in the Putian abortion hospital before. "But...could it be another prophetic dream this time?" I looked down and found that my body was also very blurry, which was a little different from last time. Last time I remembered that both my body and the space around me were very clear, and they were no different from reality. "You need to grow up in peace... As long as you grow up well, mom will be at ease." I saw the woman stopped singing, lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against the crying child, repeating these words again and again in a gentle tone. And for some reason, my heart hurts. At this point, I seem to understand who this woman is. When I woke up again, it was already another morning. I reached out and touched my eyes and pillow. They were already wet, my nose was blocked, and my heart was filled with complicated emotions. Last night, I had a dream. I don’t think this dream was a prophetic dream. In my dream I saw a woman who seemed familiar to me. Although I have never met her once, I still believe that she is my mother. I don’t know why I met a mother I had never seen before in my dream. I can only say that I felt quite complicated. In fact, both my father and grandfather are very good to me. It's just that I think anyone would feel a little regretful about not having a mother since childhood. Shaking my head, I stopped thinking about it and prepared to pack up, have breakfast, and go to the store. Qingyun Town is a little-known little place. It is usually very quiet here, and my shop is even more so. In extreme cases, it is not unusual to not see a single person for ten days and a half. I got up, washed up, and went out to buy some porridge and steamed buns. When I came back, I was going to eat the leftover side dishes from yesterday. And just when I was about to have breakfast, a call also came to my mobile phone. It was none other than my girlfriend Cheng Xiaoxiao. "Hello, Xiaoxiao?" I took a bite of the bun and said vaguely. "Well, Xiaojun, what are you doing now?" "Let's have breakfast. What's the matter? You called me so early." I didn't think much about it, I just asked, but Xiaoxiao was silent. I immediately felt something was wrong. "What's wrong? What happened?" "...Nothing, it's just Xiaojun. I want to ask you something." I swallowed the steamed bun in my mouth, glanced at the food on the small table, stood up and went to the window, saying, "Well, you tell me, I'll listen." "...Xiaojun, do you have any money now?" I couldn't help but be startled and said, "Well, yes, there are, but not many... What, do you need the money?" "That's not true, it's just...nothing, just asking. Xiaojun, why don't you go eat quickly and go to the store after eating?" "Yes, we will go to the store after eating." "busy lately?" I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know what's going on in my store? At most, there are only a few people here for a day, so it's very leisurely."
