Tadpole took a step and looked back at the coffin shop. Kong Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Tadpole, are you still looking?"

The tadpole was caught and was so scared that he immediately turned his head and said, "Master, why doesn't the old man believe what you say?"

"Because others don't know your master's abilities, they naturally choose to believe in themselves."

Tadpole nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh, anyway, I believe what the master said."

Kong Xiaoxiao was so amused by his serious look that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Night falls quickly...

Coffin Shop

"Dad, I'm back." The old man's son, Guo Dawei, came back after purchasing goods.

The old man looked at the sky outside and asked in confusion: "Why is it so late today? The sky is almost invisible."

"I ran into an acquaintance and caught up with him, so I wasted some time. How was your business today?"

When talking about business, the old man immediately smiled: "Today is not bad. A little girl bought 5 taels of silver worth of yellow paper and cinnabar. I also sold 2 coffins in addition. This can support my income for several days."

When Guo Dawei heard this, hey, this was really something worth celebrating, and he smiled and said to his father: "It's such a happy day, Dad, let's have a drink together..."

The old man doesn’t even know what his son looks like.

Isn't this just an opportunity to drink?

Never mind, he is happy today too.

The two haven't had a drink together for a long time.

As soon as the old man agreed, Guo Dawei rushed into the house and brought out a jar of wine.

The two of them also had some side dishes and drank very happily.

"Puff~" the lamp oil went out.

The two of them couldn't help but shiver.

The old man, a little drunk, tightened his clothes with his hands: "Why is it so windy all of a sudden? It's a bit cold."

Guo Dawei felt a little drunk and stood up: "Dad, I've drunk enough, let's take a rest." After saying that, he staggered into the lobby.

"Ah...ghost." This was followed by Guo Dawei's scream.

Guo Dawei fainted after he finished speaking.

The old man was just getting up outside and preparing to go back to sleep, but he was almost frightened by the sound and his back was sprained. He was also a little drunk and yelled, "Why are you howling? You scared me."

He got up, lit the oil lamp, and went into the house cursing, to see what his son was doing.

He walked in holding the oil lamp and leaning against the wall. After entering the house, he looked up at his son and met a pair of bleeding eyes.

"Ah~" Another terrified howl was heard.

The old man then covered his mouth tightly with his hands and knelt down, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed, begging: "Master Ghost, Master Ghost, please don't kill us."

The ghost's two bloodshot eyes were confused for a moment by his action, and then they began to turn bloodily again.

His figure also began to become clearer.

I saw that his hair had grown to the ground and his face was as white as a piece of paper.

There is a big hole on his stomach, and the fingernails on both hands are so sharp that if you get touched, you will be disabled if not dead.

The old man felt his heart tremble, and his kneeling body began to shake. There were only two words in his mind: it's over, it's over.

Eventually, due to exhaustion and excessive shock, he fainted.

The two gentlemen lay down together in the lobby.

Ghost: ...

The next morning.

Guo Dawei's body moved first, then he opened his eyes. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, seemed to remember something, stopped moving his hands, climbed up, jumped up and shouted: "Ghost, ghost!"

He howled for a long time, then realized that it was already daybreak and there were no ghosts around, so he calmed down.

Am I dreaming? His expression suddenly relaxed, and he patted his chest in fear, saying to himself, "It's just a dream, it's just a dream."

He raised his head and prepared to go out, and then saw his father lying on the ground. He quickly squatted down and shook the old man: "Dad, Dad, wake up."

The old man was shaken until he felt dizzy: "Stop shaking, I'm too old to bear this kind of abuse."

Guo Dawei looked around with lingering fear: "Dad, did you see, see, a ghost last night..."

The old man's memory suddenly came back, and he trembled uncontrollably. He covered his son's mouth with his hand and said, "Shut up."

Guo Dawei was almost suffocated by the old man, and had to reach out and pull the old man's hand away: "Dad, you want to suffocate me to death."

The old man took his son, locked the door, and hurried out of the house.

What else did Guo Dawei not understand? The sound he saw last night was not a dream, his father also saw it.

So both of them fainted on the ground.

Only after he went out did the old man feel alive again.

The panic he felt just now made him feel very uncomfortable and a little breathless.

"Dad, are you also..."

The old man stopped and looked at his son, trembling, "Well, the memory is still fresh, I will never forget it for the rest of my life."

Guo Dawei looked back at his shop, his face full of disbelief: "What should I do? How about finding a master to take a look?"

It's impossible not to have a shop anymore.

This shop is their livelihood. If they lose the shop, they will starve.

His mother is still lying at home, and his wife is also at home taking care of her.

Just waiting for them to take the money back every month.

So worried.

The old man was reminded by his son's words, and suddenly remembered what the girl who sold yellow paper and cinnabar said yesterday.

"Son, this is not right. This is not right."

Guo Dawei was full of confusion: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

When the topic of ghosts was mentioned, both gentlemen shuddered.

"No, remember I told you that a little girl bought five taels of silver for yellow paper and cinnabar yesterday."

Guo Dawei recalled the incident and nodded.

"When the girl left yesterday, she told me that the coffin in the corner of our shop was filled with negative energy and was not a new coffin."

"Ah, then why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Guo Dawei was very angry about being scared by a ghost.

Now my father actually said that someone reminded him yesterday.

If his father had told him this yesterday, something like that might not have happened last night.

But he didn't think that even if he told him, he would think Kong Xiaoxiao was a little lunatic just like the old man.

"Oh, that's not right, Dad. You said that's not a new coffin? That's impossible. Our coffins have always been purchased from Yun Mazi's house in Yuntian Village, and there have never been any problems."

Guo Dawei fell into deep thought.

So what went wrong?

The old man was thinking, that girl was really amazing, she could actually tell there was a problem at a glance.

"Son, the girl said yesterday that if we need her help, we should go to the Cloud Inn to find her." The old man suddenly remembered this sentence and said.

Guo Dawei looked at his father in shock, and then his voice became louder: "My father, you, you, I don't know what to say to you, how could you forget such an important thing, let's go, hurry to the Cloud Inn and find the girl you mentioned."

Guo Dawei felt that he could not wait any longer. He originally wanted to go to Yuntian Village to find Yun Mazi, but now he thought that he should first find the girl from yesterday and figure out what happened before looking for Yun Mazi.

After being yelled at by his son, the old man realized his problem.

He recalled that yesterday he had told the little girl as she walked away that she was a little crazy, and now he felt a little embarrassed.

If he finds that girl later, will she laugh at him or embarrass him?

He felt a little nervous.

Guo Dawei didn't notice his father's emotions. He was completely focused on finding that person.

He knew the location of the Cloud Inn and walked to the front.

When he arrived at the Cloud Inn, Guo Dawei went straight to the waiter to inquire about the situation.

Everyone in the Cloud Inn now knows Master Kong, so they have to be wary of anyone who asks about her.

"What do you want to see Master Kong for? If it's not urgent, just wait. I'm afraid the master may not wake up yet."

Guo Dawei and his father got up early because they slept on the floor all night.

It was just dawn that the shops and stalls in the city began to open one after another.

The two had no choice but to wait in the hall for Kong Xiaoxiao to wake up.
