Let me see which unlucky person is here to tell fortunes today
Chapter 125: The House Sealed with Cement
A penny stumps a heroic man.
Given Huang Wei's current financial situation, no matter how strange the situation is, he cannot stop taking orders.
"Host, I usually like to listen to your live broadcast on my phone while delivering food. Since I am your die-hard fan, please help me. I am really at my wits' end."
After saying this, Huang Wei broke down and covered his face and cried. The strange things he had experienced in the past week, coupled with the confusion about the future, finally overwhelmed him as the pillar of the family.
【Be a real man, brother, stop crying. 】
[Oh, don't PUA yourself, what's wrong with being a man? My husband used to be under a lot of pressure at work, and he always smoked alone. Later, I comforted him, and he started crying while comforting him. After crying, he would sleep and he would be fine.]
[The sister above is right. When you are broken down, whether you are a man or a woman, just cry if you want to. There is no need to hold back. ]
Ji Chu looked at Huang Wei on the screen with a gentle smile on his face: "Don't worry, you will be fine!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Wei immediately raised his head.
"Anchor, really?"
Ji Chu: "Don't believe it? Check the pockets of your work clothes."
Huang Wei's eyes were red and he looked confused. He had never put anything in the pocket of his work clothes, so how could he take anything out?
But out of trust in the anchor, he still reached out, unzipped his pocket, and searched inside.
However, he actually took something out of his hand, and the moment he took it out and released it, several old-fashioned coins of one cent, fifty cents, and one dollar suddenly fell from between his fingers.
Huang Wei couldn't believe it and bent down to pick up the change on the ground.
"Host... this... I have never kept any cash on me, let alone these small changes..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something: "Could this change be something that the old lady secretly gave me when I was arguing with her on the 18th floor of Building 4 in Tianchang New City last time?"
[The old lady probably didn’t know how much the dumplings cost, so she gave you as much as she had on her.]
[Why do I see that the surface of some coins is dark? ]
Huang Wei seemed to have noticed this as well. He counted the coins in his hand and found that there were 27 in total. Nine of them were covered with black dirt that could not be wiped off no matter how hard he tried.
"Anchor, is this money related to the strange things I encountered?" Huang Wei asked subconsciously.
Ji Chu smiled without saying anything and just let him look at the phone he used for work.
Huang Wei suppressed his doubts and just picked up his phone, he saw that the platform had sent him a new order. He clicked on it and saw that it was Room 18, Building 603, Tianchang New City.
"Anchor, this!"
"Go ahead. If you don't solve the problem, you may not be able to get out of this strange situation."
[Dude, although this is a bit mysterious, when has our anchor ever said anything he is unsure of? You should go check it out.]
Huang Wei stood up suddenly and held the phone tightly: "I'll go right away."
The rain was getting heavier, so Huang Wei put on a raincoat and rode his bike towards the store.
It was the same store. When the owner saw Huang Wei coming, a hint of surprise flashed across his face: "Young man, it's you again. You went to Tianchang New City last time. Did anything happen to you?"
Huang Wei shook his head, not wanting to scare people by telling them what happened to him: "It's okay, it's just a weird rumor."
"That's good." The boss chatted with him while busying himself with his work.
Huang Wei suddenly thought of the old lady on the 18th floor of Building 4. She seemed to live alone and looked very pitiful, so he ordered another serving of dumplings.
If she leaves the door open like she did last time, this dumpling will be given to her.
Soon, the boss prepared both meals, and Huang Wei also rode his bike towards Tianchang New City with the bags in his hand.
Tianchang New City is not far from businesses, but as I rode my electric bike, the number of street lights around me suddenly decreased, and the number of cars on the road also became sparse.
When we arrived near the residential complex, there was no one around. In the darkness in the distance, only the dim lights in the security room were on.
[I was originally thinking how weird a neighborhood could be, but now it seems like what the store owner said is true, it is indeed quite scary.]
[Shooting horror movies here, even without special effects,]
Huang Wei arrived at the gate and looked out the window. It was the same security guard from last time.
"Hey, young man, it's you again. Which building are you delivering food to this time?"
“It’s still Building 18.”
The security guard continued to ask: "603?"
Huang Wei nodded.
The security guard laughed and teased: "You delivery guys are really brave. You dare to run around in the middle of the night."
Huang Wei smiled bitterly: "It's all for money."
The security guard handed him a cigarette and then solemnly instructed, "Young man, we have met each other twice. The takeaway from Room 18, Building 603, please don't stay after you deliver it. Leave quickly, okay?"
Huang Wei's heart skipped a beat: "Brother, what happened to 6...603?"
The security guard said earnestly: "There is no problem with 603, the problem is 401. Didn't you notice that the door of 401 was sealed with cement by the family last time you came?"
Huang Wei's face turned pale. He remembered that the old lady lived in Room 401, but the last time he went there, the door of Room 401 was ajar and the lights were on inside.
The security guard continued, "603 is new. In the past month, they have been the most diligent in ordering takeout. Several delivery guys said that when they were delivering food to 603 and passed by 401, they saw an old lady, who even asked them for food."
"But the old lady in Room 401 was starved to death at home by her unfilial son last year!"
"At that time, the old lady's son even invited a high-ranking monk to perform a ritual, and then the few residents of Building 18 moved out."
Huang Wei just felt his legs go weak.
If the old lady in Room 401 died a year ago, then who was the old lady who asked for food last time?
He now felt that the change in his shirt pocket was burning hot, but he didn't dare to take it out to have a look, for fear that the coins he took out would turn into a pile of paper money.
Seeing that Huang Wei was distracted, the security guard waved his hand in front of him.
"Hey, young man, are you okay? If you don't deliver it, the takeaway will probably be out of time!"
Huang Wei's wandering thoughts were instantly pulled back. At this moment, he couldn't figure out whether the reason for his bad luck for a week was the family of three from Room 603 or the old lady from Room 401.
Just when Huang Wei was hesitating, Ji Chu's clear voice came from the headphones.
"To judge whether a person is good or bad, don't listen to what others say, but look at what the person has done."
Huang Wei suddenly realized that although the security guard said that several delivery boys had seen the old lady in Room 401, the old lady didn't seem to do anything except asking them for food.
What's more, when he was trying to make excuses to the old lady last time, she stuffed a handful of change into her pocket.
If it really was an evil ghost, why would it think of paying?
