You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The train continued to rumble forward.

Huang Xin'an's wrinkled face showed a complicated expression. After a long moment, he whispered, "If my mother wasn't cruel, why did she make me work so early? Even families poorer than mine don't force their children to work. Is she... is she my stepmother?"

Su Chen said nothing.

Huang Xinan held his chin and looked out the window, sighing in distress.

Su Chen felt the numbness and soreness under his butt and began to miss his former self.

Once the ghost path is opened, a thousand miles can be traveled in just a moment.

Why should we suffer like this?

If it really doesn't work, the airship in my previous life was also pretty good. With the help of talismans, I can stay safe even in strong winds. Taking the train... is too painful.

In fact, with his current Taoist power, he can open the ghost path if he really wants to.

The main thing... he still didn't know what happened to Jianzhou. He was afraid that if he used up most of his energy and got out of the Ghost Road, he would be faced with a huge net. It would be very difficult and embarrassing to escape from the Ghost Road again.

It's better to be more stable.

It took more than five hours for Su Chen and Huang Xinan to get off the train.

Huang Xinan looked like he was half dead and listless.

Su Chen frowned, but not because of Huang Xinan, but...

Under the eyes of the sky, there was a faint layer of darkness around the Jianzhou Railway Station.

It's unbelievable that the evil spirit is so strong.

Su Chen took Huang Xinan to the tallest building next to the train station. Standing on the rooftop and looking down, almost the entire Jianzhou was shrouded in a faint evil aura.

When did evil spirits become so easy to generate?

Huang Xin'an was a little annoyed: "Master, why did you bring me here? Hurry up and give me back my life!"

"I give up. What are you standing there for? Hey..."

He paused, looked suspiciously at the yellow talisman that Su Chen had stuck on his shoulder, blinked, and felt like crying but had no tears.

"Master, why are you putting talismans on me for no reason?"

Su Chen gestured for him to follow and walked towards the corridor: "Jianzhou is full of evil spirits. Although you have a bad temper, you won't yell at me. You have been affected just now. I'll put a talisman on you to calm you down."

Huang Xin'an thought carefully about his reaction just now and realized belatedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, Master."

"It's okay, take the talisman and keep it close to you."

"Oh oh oh." Although Huang Xinan looked to be in his eighties, he still had the playful nature of a young man. He felt that the talisman was not beautiful enough on his shoulder, so he pinched it and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his coat. He patted it to make sure it would not fall out before he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he went downstairs, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, where are we going now?"

He was just about to say that Jianzhou was his territory and he knew everywhere.

Don't want to, Su Chen said in a deep voice: "Go to your house."

"……what?"

Huang Xinan almost jumped up and down.

"No, that's not necessary, Master? I'm in this state now. If I go home, my mother won't be scared to death. My father will probably break my legs."

"Is it okay not to go back?"

As they were talking, they had already reached the first floor. Su Chen asked him, "Can your parents still recognize you in this state?"

Huang Xin'an pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes, as long as I don't tell you, you won't be able to recognize it."

"You are indeed a master."

Compared with Cuicheng, Jianzhou is much smaller. There are few taxis on the streets, but there are quite a lot of tricycles.

Su Chen hailed a tricycle, and Huang Xin'an immediately gave the address: "Go to Shangxi."

Then he introduced it to Su Chen: "Master, our Shangxi is in the northwest of Jianzhou, but the stream water there is very clear and clean, unlike the one in the city, which is thick and smelly..."

"In the summer, people from the city love to come swim in our place, and you can't drive them away."

"..."

Su Chen kept looking outside the car. There were many passers-by, but none of them had a smile on their faces.

But after a moment, loud curses were heard.

Huang Xin'an coughed and said, "Hehe... Well, Master, our Jianzhou is definitely not as good as Cuicheng."

A few steps later, they encountered another fight, and Huang Xinan didn't say a word.

Ashamed.

The tricycle driver said cheerfully, "Life is so hard for ordinary people like us. It's normal to let off some steam. Unlike those rich people, they can not only not eat the leftover meat, but you can even pour it into the slop bucket to feed the pigs. You just throw it in the trash can. What a sin."

"See that restaurant over there? It was built by a rich guy. One floor tile costs as much as my monthly income. How ruthless!"

"Why do they have cars and wear leather jackets when they go out?"

"They are all sucking the blood of us ordinary people."

Huang Xin'an nodded in agreement: "You said it very well!"

"We are poor because of them. If they had shared their money, would we be so poor?"

The master seemed to have found a kindred spirit, and began to denounce those wealthy businessmen together with Huang Xin'an.

When they got off the bus at Shangxi, Su Chen paid the money and the driver happily took out a black stone and handed it to Huang Xinan.

"Old man, we are destined to meet. This is for you."

Huang Xinan laughed dryly and waved his hands: "No, no, how can I feel embarrassed?"

There was no point in refusing, it was forced upon me.

"Master, did you see that?" Huang Xin'an touched the black jade and winked at Su Chen. "We in Jianzhou still have a lot of kind-hearted people, right?"

Su Chen didn't say a word, his eyes fell on the black jade, his eyes were deep.

Suddenly, a woman rushed out from the side and knocked the jade out of Huang Xinan's hand.

"Oh my god, you dare to take this thing, are you looking for death?"

"You're crazy..." Huang Xin'an was about to lose his temper, but when he saw who it was, he was stunned. "Mom?"

She was a middle-aged woman wearing an old black cotton-padded jacket. Her face was red from the cold and her fingers were thick and swollen. She must have frostbite.

Su Chen glanced in the direction she was rushing towards, where there were two large baskets of clothes.

The woman was stunned by Huang Xinan's call of "Mom".

She looked at Huang Xinan carefully, and the latter subconsciously covered his face and dodged.

The woman then laughed and looked at Su Chen: "Is your grandfather crazy? He called people randomly. Then let me tell you, if someone gives you this thing, don't take it, okay?"

"Those black-hearted tricycle drivers can earn two yuan for delivering one. They work hard to deliver, but if you accept this thing, you will be in big trouble, don't you know?"

The woman thought she would have to persuade him earnestly, but she saw Su Chen nodded.

"Yeah, I know, there's evil spirit on it."

"Murderous intent?" The woman blinked. "Well, never mind. Just know that this thing is not good. Don't take it if someone gives it to you next time."

As she spoke, she looked at Huang Xinan carefully again, turned around and muttered something.

"The old one speaks with a Jianzhou accent, and the young one has no accent at all... It's better to go to school; it's more pleasant to listen to what they say. It's a pity that my little An doesn't like to study, ah..."

Someone came over.

"Ah Xi, you're washing so many clothes again? Aren't you tired?"

"What's so tiring? The more you wash, the more you earn."

After everyone left, she muttered again: "I don't know what disease Xiao An has. It must cost a lot of money to treat it. If I wash more, Xiao An's illness will get better faster."

Huang Xinan's body stiffened and his eyes turned red instantly.

Only after she left did he react.

"That's not right. My mom used to have a job. Where's her job?"
