Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

It wasn't that she didn't want to help. First, Lin Ying didn't let her do any work because she was too young. Second, since she discovered that the barrier was broken, there was something she really had to come and see.

She walked around the front house, entered from the small garden on the left side of the house, and came to the lawn covered with weeds.

The grass here grows well, and each one is as tall as her calf.

There were no signs of excavation, so Jingzhi raised his head and looked around.

The power here has not been turned on yet and the surveillance cameras are off.

I don't know what's going on in the villa next door. It's surrounded by green mesh and I guess they're being renovated.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she secretly took out a few small magic tools from her ring. This was a convenient maze made for her by Caolu, and placed them on the ground.

Anyone who walks in here will be lost as if they were trapped in a ghost wall.

When she squatted down, her small body seemed to be submerged in the grass.

Before she had finished setting up the maze, the floor-to-ceiling glass door two meters away from her suddenly opened.

Lin Ying frowned and waved at her, "It's my fault. After I finish cleaning up inside, I'll go weed the garden. You come in first. This grass is prickly."

From the entrance came the sounds of footsteps running and fighting.

The boss's voice was so loud that they could hear it from the hallway. "Master, everything is here!"

The third child never took the usual route. He came in from the garden entrance, picked up Jingzhi with one hand and laughed, "Whose lost child is this?"

Jingzhi didn't expect this man to be so rude and was shocked. She noticed that Lin Ying was looking at her, but she didn't care. She kicked her legs, twisted her upper body to the side, and stretched out her hands towards Lin Ying, "Uncle Ying, hold me."

Lin Ying smiled secretly. This little kid even knew to give him some face in front of his apprentice and called him Uncle Ying.

He softened his expression, took Jingzhi, and raised his chin towards the disciple who had been caught in the crossfire. "Since we're here, let's pull out the weeds in this garden."

"Ah~~" The third brother said with a miserable look, "Master, it's very sunny outside, it's so hot that it's going to kill me."

Lin Ying glanced at him and sneered, "Look at those dark circles under your eyes. They're really revealing. Get some more sun. It'll do you good."

The third brother held out his hand, "Master, I don't..."

Lin Ying handed over a pair of gloves and said, "Here, don't say I don't love you. Go get to work. I'll ask your senior brother to make the bed for you."

The third brother was slightly dead: "...Oh."

If he had known this, he would not have left here.

Lin Ying walked in holding Jingzhi. She faced outside and stared at the third brother pulling weeds, feeling a little worried.

When Cheng Ying was burying something, she didn't watch the whole process because she thought it was boring. She didn't know if he dug deeper.

Except that the third brother is a little bit unreliable and the eldest brother is a little bit stupid, these people can be considered hardworking.

When they saw that their master had found such a good site, their eyes lit up and they worked as hard as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They even snatched the rag from Lin Ying's hand.

The fourth brother was holding a rag and wiping the large round table in the restaurant skillfully. He smiled at the supervisor Lin Ying with his teeth showing. "Master, you still have to work in the morning. Take a break. We can take care of the rest."

Lin Ying pointed to the 600 yuan on the table and said, "Keep your 200 yuan and return the rest to your junior sister and senior brother."

The fourth brother was shocked, "Don't you have to pay the rent?"

Jingzhi hid behind Lin Ying's legs, poked her head out, stuck out her tongue at Lao Si, and said:

"That agent said Uncle Ying doesn't have to pay, and he won't have to pay in the future. He even eats shit... Ugh!"

Lin Ying stretched out her five claws and gently pinched her small, fleshy face, "Don't talk about me behind my back."

The fourth child also smelled the scent.

He picked up the money with two fingers in disgust and said, "Then I'll go and divide the money first."

Lin Ying straightened her neck and leaned back: "Yeah."

He pulled Jingzhi and turned away.

To be honest, he didn't want to touch the money.

Jingzhi: "Where to?"

Lin Ying: "We need to straighten the beds before we move. I'll go see how the others are doing."

Meeting Xiaowu in the corridor, she smiled and waved at Jingzhi, "Master, who is this? And where is the kitten from yesterday?"

Questions asked inadvertently are indeed the most fatal.

Lin Ying coughed for a long time but couldn't come up with a good reason.

Jingzhiman liked this heroic girl. He let go of Lin Ying and approached Xiaowu. "Come on, Uncle Ying has reserved a room for you. I'll take you to see it."

Xiaowu tightened her soft little hands, and her mind gradually forgot the question she had just asked casually.

She looked at the stunned master and said, "Master, then I will go and see it."

The fourth brother cautiously chased after him, holding the money in his hand. "Hey, don't leave! I'll give you 200!"

Jingzhi's nostrils widened. A good girl should never pinch money!

She grabbed Xiaowu, walked past Lin Ying, turned around and ran, yelling that the money was dirty and her sister would not take it!

"Master, she doesn't want it, but I do?" The fourth brother took the money and gestured in front of Lin Ying.

Lin Ying tilted her head back, her back pressed against the corridor wall.

"...Hurry up and go. Can't you go out and buy some pocket money to pay her back?"

"Got it!"

You would be a fool not to take advantage of it!

The fourth brother threw away the rag and ran out.

The second brother heard the news from somewhere and chased after him, "Hey! Junior brother, don't spend my two hundred dollars on me! I want shit too!"

……

Lin Ying put his hands behind his back and rolled his eyes vigorously. These disciples had one thing in common - they were obsessed with money.

I guess he is afraid of being poor.

He stretched out his hand to wave away the stench that lingered in the air, then turned and entered his apprentice's room.

It was his apprentice who was sleeping inside.

Nothing much to say, just an iron bed with upper and lower bunks.

As soon as he came in, he saw the eldest brother putting coins at the foot of the bed.

Lin Ying tutted his words and took out four copper coins from his pocket and handed them over. "Ashi, the Jiuwu Feisheng fortune-attracting pattern is best pressed with ancient copper coins."

"Didn't you listen to what I said?"

The eldest brother, also known as Ah Shi, took the money, scratched his head, and laughed dryly. "I heard it! But I only remembered half of it."

"Bang! Bang!"

There were muffled noises outside, as if a house was being demolished. Lin Ying's face changed, and he straightened up and opened the door.

Ah Shi grabbed his sleeve and said in a weak voice, "Master, ghosts hide during the day and come out at night. Is it right to use a hammer to hit the corner of the wall?"

Lin Ying turned around, his eyelids twitching. "I just used the Soul-Calming Banner and the Peach Wood Hammer. What did they use to hammer?"

Ah Shi: "Big...big iron hammer."

Lin Ying's face darkened and she shook his hand off. "I think you're a fool!"

He hurried out and happened to meet Jingzhi and Xiaowu coming out of the room on the way.

The third brother stopped pulling out weeds and stood on a stool, swinging a hammer and hitting the corner of the entrance door.

The wall paint was broken into pieces and the cement surface inside was vaguely visible.

Lin Ying clenched his fists until they crackled, "Get off my feet!"

The third brother stopped and looked back innocently, "It was the eldest brother who told me to do it. He said it can drive away ghosts."

Lin Ying walked over and slapped him hard on the back of the head. "Normally he only listens to half of my lectures, but you don't listen at all!"

"You always listen to your senior brother. Don't you have any opinions of your own?"

The third brother touched the back of his head, which was aching, and whispered back, "Master, we have never seen a ghost before, so we don't have any real experience. Of course, the method you mentioned to cure ghosts is not that attractive."

"Okay!" Lin Ying pressed his aching temple and said coldly, "The day after tomorrow at midnight, No. 144 in the suburbs. That's a famous haunted house. Bring your brothers and sisters with you to see it!"

The third brother: "This..."

He was just joking, why is Master taking it so seriously?

Xiao Wu was so eager to learn how to catch ghosts that he nodded seriously at Lin Ying, "I understand, Master."

Lin Ying at least found some comfort from her.

When he saw Ah Shi, he was furious again. "When the second and fourth brothers come back, you can help them set up an altar and bring out the tablet for the ancestors."

Re-setting up the altar requires new offerings.

The third brother didn’t give the money last time, and this time Lin Ying was angry, so he didn’t dare not to give it. He walked over and took out 300 yuan and handed it to A Shi.

Xiao Wu felt helpless and spread his hands towards his senior brother.

Jingzhi pulled Lin Ying's trouser leg and said, "Uncle Ying, chicken and meat can be used for offering sacrifices. You don't need to spend too much money on offerings."

Lin Ying: “Yeah.”

Almost forgetting about this, Lin Ying walked over and took the money from Ah Shi's hand, "Go ahead, what are you standing there for?"

Ah Shi smiled bitterly, "Master, at least give me a hundred."

Lin Ying thought for a moment, then took out the coins he had given her and returned them to her. "Go ahead and buy some fruit."

This trick of using one's own tricks to fight another's tricks left the eldest brother speechless. He walked out with a few coins in his hand.

After sending the third brother to repair the wall and the fifth brother to clean up the other dishes in the kitchen, Lin Ying turned around and went back to her room.

Jingzhi moved his short legs and trotted to catch up. "Xiaoying, do you want to go out for feng shui?"

"No."

"Then why change clothes?"

Lin Ying straightened his clothes and pointed to the rooftop. "Whether it's good or bad, I'll go up and take a look."

Jingzhi leaned back on the chair and raised his chin towards the door. "Doesn't that guy swinging the sledgehammer want to see a ghost? Why don't you let him go up and see it for himself?"

Lin Ying sighed softly. His apprentice sometimes made mistakes, but he was kind-hearted. If he let him go up there when he was not very skilled, he would probably be fed shit again.

He didn't answer this, but just told her: "You stay down there, I..."

Before she finished, she twisted his long sleeves and followed him, "I'm awesome too. If that guy upstairs dares to feed me shit, I'll twist his skull open!"

Lin Ying chuckled and tapped her forehead, "A ghost won't die if you twist open his skull."

Jingzhi hissed and slapped his hand away, "It hurts, I'll wrap it up if you click on it."

Lin Ying was stunned for two seconds before she realized that there was a bump on her head.

He raised his hand and carefully pushed aside her bangs. Above her right eyebrow, a small, bruised and purple lump suddenly appeared on her smooth forehead.

He softened his tone, without any of the harshness he had used when he scolded his apprentice just now. "Sorry, come down later and I'll rub you with the medicine."

Jingzhi shook his head, letting his bangs slide down his fingertips and return to their original shape. "It's okay, I know you're just being cautious, it wasn't intentional."

This kid has such strong empathy.

I want to pinch her face.

But the important matter was at hand, so Lin Ying smiled at her, raised her arm slightly, and protected her as she walked upstairs with light steps.

As they passed the living room, one of them was repairing the wall, thinking he was unlucky, while the other was washing vegetables with the faucet running, but no one noticed them.

After turning the corner and going upstairs, the closer I got to the innermost room, the more obvious the chilling aura became.

The compass needle in his left hand swung wildly, finally pointing vertically to the left front.

Lin Ying hushed her, put away the compass, and walked over along the wall.

Jingzhi's expression became increasingly cold.

That room was her study. Although she had almost tidied up all the bookcases inside, it was also the place where she and Cheng Ying spent the longest time besides the bedroom.
