Chapter 4 Return to the Haunted House
A place for raising corpses?
I knew it wasn't a good thing as soon as I heard it. I really have no chance of making this much money.
"Uncle, let's go quickly. Don't worry about what's inside. Staying alive is the most important thing!"
Even if my cousin doesn't leave, I will definitely leave. I can't lose my life here. Whoever has the ability to earn this money can go.
As soon as I took a step, I felt a strong force grabbing my shoulders. Who else could it be?
" Nephew , help your uncle just once. You will definitely be needed in the future. If we complete this order, we will all make money. It's a profit without any investment!"
My cousin looked like he was greedy for money, but there was something in his eyes that I didn't know.
"Come on, I haven't even come to you to settle the score for Master Bai's affairs, and now you're trying to trick me into going to hell. I was really born into the wrong family to have a relative like you. I'm going to give you the money back!"
I didn't care about seniority anymore and just threw the money I got on the ground. I really didn't want to go back to that creepy house.
Bang! The money fell to the ground, which also indicated that the relationship between my cousin and I was completely over.
My cousin looked at me, and I couldn't tell whether he hated me or doubted me. Then he bent down to pick up the money, and really fell into the money.
"Do I still need these few thousand dollars?"
My cousin said this while holding the banknotes and shaking them in front of me.
If he wasn't short of money, why did he live in such a shabby place and venture into this ghost place to compete with ghosts for a place to live? Isn't this just because he is so poor that he doesn't even let ghosts go?
I gave my cousin a very contemptuous look. I couldn't cover my mouth anymore. I would leave no matter what he said.
This time I turned quickly and could hear the sound of the wind brushing past my ears, and raised my hand to stop a car.
"Xiao Jie, do you know how much money we will get if we succeed this time?"
My cousin is still trying to keep me, but I will never turn back.
Although I said that, I was still thinking about the 100,000 yuan that my grandma owed, so I walked a little slower on the way out.
A taxi was approaching me .
I thought to myself that as long as I took a taxi to the station, I could find a job paying three or four thousand yuan somewhere and live on it for the rest of my life, and I could just pay back the money I owed slowly.
"Let me tell you, if this order is successful, there will be a full three hundred thousand. I will give you half of it. How about that?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving me a little confused.
I turned and looked at my cousin, feeling a little shaken.
Give me half of the 300,000, which is 150,000. After paying off my debts, I will have 50,000 yuan in my hands.
I unconsciously dropped my hand and had a strange feeling in my body. It wanted to turn around, but I definitely wouldn't let it.
"If you weren't in a hurry to use the money, I definitely wouldn't have brought you here to make this money. High risk, high return. Have you heard of it?"
"There is no such good thing in the world that can be earned without taking risks. At worst, I can keep the money by myself. Don't come to me for help when the time comes."
After my cousin finished speaking, the footsteps became farther and farther away, and what he said seemed to make sense.
There is really no free lunch in the world, and money does not come from the sky. I know that.
Now that this order has been completed, I can really relax.
But the house is not peaceful. If he dies, neither my cousin nor I will get any money.
"You're crazy! Why are you waving if you don't want a taxi?"
I heard the master's complaints behind me, and I understood.
As long as I follow my cousin, the money will come faster.
He has connections, and he and I are related by blood after all.
No matter what, he wouldn't let me die here.
When my cousin saw that I had caught up with him, he smiled and looked relieved.
We walked towards the house and he briefly explained it to me as we walked.
"You must sweep the house, and you must sweep it thoroughly. As long as you sweep out the filth in the house, everything will be fine."
The filth will eventually fall on the grains, and then you can sweep them out like sweeping the floor, and that's it.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Am I going upstairs alone..."
I still remember what happened on the second floor, and I really don’t dare to go up there alone at the moment.
"Can you set up a battle formation? If you can, you set up the battle formation and I'll go sweep the house."
My cousin handed the oil lamp to me with an unhappy look on his face, and it was obvious that he was forcing me to go upstairs alone.
I rolled my eyes. If it wasn't for the money, I would have ignored him at all.
I sighed. There was nothing I could do.
So I went up alone, and I didn't know what he was doing at the entrance on the first floor.
I was terrified as I walked past.
The ground was covered with grains and cereals, and there were not only footprints of the two of us but also footprints of different sizes.
As soon as I got to the second floor, I was dumbfounded. I was back in the living room on the first floor. No matter how many times I walked back and forth, I would end up back there.
Trapped in a maze?
I stood on the stairs on the first floor and shouted towards the entrance, but no one answered me. I didn't go up to the second floor and wanted to look for my cousin, but I ended up going back to the second floor as well. I really couldn't get out.
I really have no chance of earning this money. It seems that my deceitful cousin wanted to take the three hundred thousand for himself, so he let me, his nephew, go and die. Such relatives are terrible.
I opened the window and jumped outside, thinking that I could escape, but as soon as I landed I was back in the lobby on the first floor.
I am really trapped here. I shouldn't have been greedy and wanted to make this money. Now I don't want it no matter how much money you give me.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom. . . .
The sound came from the floor beneath my feet, and as soon as I moved around, the sound disappeared. This house is so fucking weird.
At this moment, I just wanted to be alone and didn't want to be scared by the strange noise. The only way to make the sound disappear was to keep walking around , like a dog wandering in the village.
I couldn't walk anymore, so I leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and closed my eyes to calm myself down. The strange sound was still happening under my feet.
A sudden chill on my back made me jump away.
That kind of coldness was obviously not the cold air from the refrigerator, but something more powerful.
Water began to seep out of the wooden walls. The water looked quite cold and made my back wet and cold.
Wait, water is flowing on the wall, what's going on? I remember the swimming pool was far away.
Da da da......
Just when I was feeling upset, a series of invisible footprints suddenly appeared on the wall, like a cat's paw prints, but I remembered there was only a weasel in the room.
The claw marks only appeared on the wall and were reluctant to land on the ground. I seemed to know something.
He grabbed a handful of grains and threw them against the wall, aiming at the place where the claw marks appeared.
Hiss, hiss, hiss. . . . .
A strange smell suddenly appeared on the wall, and the claw marks no longer appeared, it disappeared.
When I turned around again, I finally reached the second floor. I looked towards the stairs and nothing had changed.
Hurry up, once I leave, I will definitely not come back.
Just as I was about to take a step, I thought of what my cousin said. I am here to earn money, not to work. It must be worth it to exchange my life for 150,000 yuan.
I could only turn around and go to the strange room on the second floor, where the paper man was found, to see if there were any changes.
Just as I was walking towards the paper man's room, a figure with long hair hurried past, and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
