Volume 2 Chapter 30: The Square is in Trouble Again
Wang Zijun was not sure until now that I was really back to life and not dead, so he let go of his courage and asked me about my life in the underworld. Seeing that this guy was so anxious, I deliberately sold a lawsuit and said to Xue Man first: "It's so late, you should go home." I was very cautious when talking to her, and I still felt that it would be easier to talk to her after I drove her away.
"Brother, I also want to hear about your experience in the underworld..." Fu Xueman said with a smile, but it was a forced smile, obviously.
"Things about the underworld are not for girls to hear. You'd better go back. It's too late. If you don't go home, people will gossip about you." I said coldly.
Fu Xueman's face darkened when she heard my bad tone. She stared at Shen Bing and said, "Is there anything I can't hear? Did you do something shameful with her in the underworld? I'm your fiancée. If I don't come home late, what can others say? But she..." She became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She pointed at Shen Bing and said, "A woman from the provincial capital is staying here for no reason. Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
She was really upset. Shen Bing looked at me, then at Fu Xueman, like a wronged child, with a bitter face and not daring to say a word.
I slammed the coffee table and said in a cold voice: "Listen carefully, Shen Bing is my girlfriend now, you are not allowed to make any personal insults to her! Also, your mother has returned the betrothal gift, and there is no relationship between us anymore. The fiancée is a thing of the past, so please go in!" I stretched out my hand to the door.
My mother, Shen Bing and Wang Zijun were all stunned. They didn't expect that I would say this to Xue Man in person. It was no different from a slap in the face.
Fu Xueman was also stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears, covering her face and ran out of the house.
My mother lowered her head and said nothing. She looked very unhappy. Wang Zijun didn't understand what was going on between us and didn't dare to interrupt. But Shen Bing was a little embarrassed because I said she was my girlfriend. She pushed me and said, "Why are you like this? Go chase her."
I glared at him and said, "Why are you chasing me? There is nothing between her and me anymore. Besides, I have a clear conscience." Then I told him everything I saw and heard in the underworld. Wang Zijun's eyes widened as he listened, and his mouth opened so wide that an eggplant could fit in it. He rubbed his face only after I finished speaking. It was not easy to keep that expression.
My mother let out a long sigh and said, "So that's how it is. Then I don't feel sorry for their family anymore." My mother's generation is very feudal. They believe that women must remain chaste. If they fool around with other men before getting married, isn't that an insult to our family?
Wang Zijun also scolded Fu Xueman for being shameless for doing such a thing. When he was in high school, she had dated him for a while. She was an extremely shrewd girl. Wang Zijun broke up with her because he felt that she was too cunning and he couldn't control her.
After saying this, it was almost dawn. Wang Zijun yawned and said goodbye. He had been busy with my funeral for three days and didn't get much sleep. He was really a good brother. I sent him out. Before he left, he asked me again, "Fan Xiaobing is not someone you can easily mess with. I got rid of five child ghosts and ruined his fortune. Can he let it go?"
I told Wang Zijun with a sneer that I used to be a special forces soldier in the army. No matter who he is, I will fight him with my own army and block the water with earth. I am not afraid of him at all!
I let Shen Bing sleep in my doghouse for a while. Although she was not happy about it, she had no choice but to go into my room. Although my mother hadn't slept for three days and was too sleepy to lift her head, she still went to burn incense and worship in front of the ancestral tablets, thanking the ancestors for helping me get through this disaster, and then went back to sleep.
Since I had no place to sleep, I moved out the alchemy furnace and started to make Yin-boosting pills in the living room. Before the New Year, I gave almost all the pills I made in a year to Director Cui. Now I don’t have any ready stock, so I have to make a batch and send it to the underworld. He’s been very busy, so we can’t be disloyal.
I was refining the elixir and I fell asleep without knowing when. I was awakened by a knock on the door. I rubbed my eyes and ran out to open the door. It was Wang Zijun. I said, "It's so early in the morning. You just slept for a short time. Why are you here again?"
Wang Zijun pointed at the sun in the sky and said, "It's already past twelve o'clock, and it's still early in the morning. Are you sleepy?"
I looked up and saw that the sun was high in the sky. My mind cleared up and I asked him why he didn't go to take care of his uncle's funeral and why he came to see me. His expression suddenly became very mysterious and he whispered to me, "I was woken up by the mayor. Master Mao died in the square when he hit a street lamp at dawn."
After hearing this, I was moved and asked him, "Is the street lamp the one Liu San and his gang killed?"
"Yes, it's very weird. I think the ghost boy has been scared out of his wits, so why are there still people bumping into him?" Wang Zijun scratched his head and said, "The mayor invited me over, but I don't see what's going on."
I also found it strange, so I casually said to him, "It could be a coincidence, or maybe she knew that the lamp post had killed someone, and maybe she had a change of heart after she became mentally ill, and she was repenting for the death. It's not surprising that she died there."
"What you said makes sense." Wang Zijun nodded and said to me, "I asked the mayor to remove that street lamp because it was too unlucky. The mayor even rewarded me with a pack of Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes. Haha." The boy took out a pack of cigarettes from his down jacket and shook it in front of me.
I told him that you should learn something else in the future. You are impatient and not suitable for the job of a Taoist priest. As I was talking, his cell phone rang. When he answered the phone, his expression was extremely horrified. He just kept nodding. After hanging up the phone, he pulled me aside and said, "Come with me to the square. Something happened there again."
I hurriedly asked him what happened, and then I went back to the house to put on my coat. Just then, Shen Bing got up and came out. I heard Wang Zijun shouting outside the door: "When the street lamp was being dismantled in the square, two people were hit. Blood and water are gushing out from the ground..."
When I heard this, I thought it was weird and I didn't bother to talk to Shen Bing. I ran out of the room with my coat on. Shen Bing followed me out. How could she be missing from such a lively place?
When I ran to the edge of the square, I saw a lot of people running there. The town was very busy these two days. Accidents happened one after another, making it difficult for everyone to have a good New Year.
We squeezed into the crowd and saw that the bolts of the street lamp had been removed from the ground and it had fallen to the ground . Two workers were pinned to the ground with blood all over their heads and faces. The doctors from the health center were busy carrying them to the ambulance. It seemed that they were not dead yet. Sure enough, blood and water were bubbling up from the ground around the street lamp, forming a circle.
Shen Bing asked, "Is it because the blood of the two dead people seeped into the ground and is now oozing out again?"
I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled smugly and said, "I'm pretty smart right?"
"Congratulations, you got the answer wrong!"
The mayor was directing the rescue of the wounded. When he saw Wang Zijun, he really thought he was a Taoist priest. He grabbed his hand and said, "Nephew, think of a way quickly. Don't let anything happen here again!"
Wang Zijun looked at me, wanting to hear my opinion, but I was staring at the circle of blood and had no time to answer him. He could only say to the mayor: "Let me place two talismans to suppress the evil spirits ."
I suddenly thought of something, waved my hand and shouted at him, "You can't put the talisman there, it will only cause trouble."
