Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

In the vast and open fields, rows of farms lie in between.

Just at night, there are villagers sitting in front of many houses who have just returned home from work and are enjoying the cool air in front of the door.But in this row of farms, only the one in the middle has set up a large shed on the drying yard in front of the door, and there are three high-wattage lighting lamps on the head.In the dark surroundings, these three lamps were like the sun, illuminating the night like day.

This family is having a funeral.There were many people sitting in the shed in front of the door, crying one after another.

There is no doubt that the lonely ghost guided by the golden light should be this household.

Lian Xi and Ji Chen stepped forward together.

Nowadays, funerals in rural areas are no longer as troublesome as before. The corpses have to be parked at home for seven days.Now put it in the freezer for three days, burn the paper day and night, and wait until the fourth day to go to the crematorium to complete the final procedures, and then you can bury the ashes.

Many relatives and friends sat on the drying ground in front of this house, and they all came to express their condolences and to eat.

There are many and mixed people, but there is no one like Lian Xi and Ji Chen.

As soon as the two walked onto the drying yard, the eyes of relatives and friends shot over.After a while, a village woman with sackcloth tied on her shoulders came over, "Which one are you looking for?"

Hei Wuchang put his hands in, and there was no emotion.

Bai Wuchang didn't expect him to do anything, so he didn't even look at him, Lian Xi said directly: "We passed by, we used to live in this area when we were young, so we came back to have a look."

Several villagers around became curious.

"Which family is this child?"

"Did the old Zhao family under the bridge move to Wuxi the year before last?"

"No, it must have been moved for a long time."

"Then I don't know, many people move to Wuxi every year."

Rural people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai often like to refer to going to the city as the name of the local city.It's not that the land I'm stepping on isn't this piece of land, but it's just such a code name.

Moving to Wuxi means moving to downtown Wuxi.

The village woman looked at Lian Xi and the two of them: "There is a funeral going on at home." After speaking, she looked up and down the two of them.

Lian Xi: "Ah, I'm sorry, my condolences."

The two ran down the drying yard in desperation.

He didn't go far, just watched quietly nearby.

People today are not like in ancient times. People in ancient times were more simple and simple, and because of the underdeveloped transportation, they rarely saw outsiders.If a foreigner they don't know suddenly comes to their banquet, they will be very enthusiastic and leave him for a meal.Those who organize weddings especially like crowds and excitement.Funerals are no exception. To put it bluntly, the host family will stay for dinner after offering incense sticks.

It's different now.

Sioux Cheng black and white impermanence smuggled into Wuxi, he should have put his tail between his legs and was careful not to be discovered by the local ghosts, so he couldn't make a big fuss.Now the host's house is not entertaining, of course they can't go there casually, so as not to be strange.

Lian Xi understood this, but Jichen didn't.

President Xi raised his eyebrows: "Catch ghosts?" Bai Wuchang planned to go on strike and be lazy again, so why not work hard?

Lian Xi: "Wait a minute, we don't have an identity now, if we go casually, people will think that we are eating and drinking, or that we have other purposes."

Jichen asked back, "Don't we have another purpose?"

Lian Xi glanced at him.

Then you can't say it!

It is really impossible to communicate with Mr. Heiwuchang.

Lian Xi had already discovered that Su Cheng, the new Hei Wuchang, was so powerful that he could be cheated, but it was a pity that Lord Yan was always fair, and this person seemed to have a problem with his mind.At least, he doesn't know much about the world.

From Heiwuchang's point of view: It's only natural for me to catch ghosts; if you don't let me catch ghosts, you have a problem with your thinking.

Lord Heiwuchang doesn't care what the people in Yangjian are thinking. The sky is big and the earth is big, and he has the best performance, so he shouldn't be the last one even if he dies.

Lian Xi: "I have to find a way." Just as he was thinking, suddenly, Lian Xi's eyes narrowed, and he looked at a hunchbacked old man squatting in the corner of the drying yard.He paused slightly, and after a while, he pulled the corner of Heiwuchang's clothes: "That."

Ji Chen looked down at the hand that was pinching the corner of his clothes, and then looked up along the hand.

Lian Xi: "Is that him?"

Jichen narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of his finger, and after a while, hummed softly.

One minute later, the two who had just left went back and forth, and returned to the shed of the funeral family.However, this time they did not go to a crowded place, but took advantage of the dark night to walk to the corner of the drying yard and stand in front of a hunchbacked old man.

Lian Xi swept his eyes away.

The old man leaned against the corner tremblingly, wearing a tattered shirt that was covered in blood.He lowered his head and leaned against the wall without saying a word, but there was a big crack on the top of his head, and the red, white and white inside dangled in the moonlight, but nothing flowed out——

Because, he is a ghost.

Jichen glanced lightly, took out the Heiwuchang certificate, and opened it with a click.

"There is a way in the universe, hell..."

"Are you here to arrest me?" the old man said suddenly.

Ji Chen's voice stopped.

Lian Xi lowered his head and looked carefully for a long time before realizing: "Are you blind?"

The old man nodded obediently.

Lian Xi looked at Jichen strangely, and his eyes signaled: This man was blind in life, why is he still a blind ghost after death?

Boss Xi understood with a glance: Well, catch ghosts.

The next second, Mr. Xi recited the spell again, and he was only halfway through when the old ghost interrupted him again: "Master Guicha, I just want to ask, are all the girls and boys in my family here?"

After being interrupted twice in a row, Jichen frowned, showing displeasure.

Lian Xi looked at the old man's flattering expression, although he couldn't see him, he still bowed to the air with a pleading tone.

Anyway, just answering a question casually, Lian Xi stopped Hei Wuchang, who was about to violently catch ghosts again, and asked, "What do your girls and boys look like?"

Old man ghost: "I was born late. My girl is thirty this year, she is fat, she is not tall, and has a big mole on her face. My kid is almost forty this year, with small eyes, big mouth, and buck teeth."

Lian Xi craned his neck to look into the crowd: "They're all here."

The old man smiled ghostly, and gritted his teeth: "It's good that everyone is here, it's good that everyone is here, I still miss the old man. I heard someone crying just now, is it my girl?"

Lian Xi: "Well, yes."

"Why don't they cry now."

"Dinner is ready, relatives and friends have all sat down, and they want to greet the guests."

"Oh, I got it." The old man smiled ghostly, "Master Guicha doesn't know, my girl and boy have been living in the city. I also opened a massage parlor for the blind in Wuxi before, and I closed it the year before and went back to my hometown. I lost my eyes when I was 20 years old. They were busy and didn’t have time to see me. We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. I thought they wouldn’t come back, but they still came back. They were still crying. Miss the old man."

Before he died, he knew that his children, whom he had rarely seen, still thought about him. The old man wiped the corners of his eyes with great relief.

Lian Xi: "You should be on your way."

Hei Wuchang on the side had long been impatient with the wait, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand, this time he didn't even recite the spell, and directly sent the old man ghost to reincarnation.

A line of names slowly emerged on the impermanence certificate.

"Liu Zhaoqiang, 1951-2020, died in an accident"

Lian Xi couldn't wait to open the performance rankings and take a closer look.

Ji Chen also saw the newly increased performance points.

The bodies of the two froze instantly.

Lian Xi didn't believe in evil, closed the proof of impermanence, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

Lian Xi: "..."

Ji Chen: "..."

That's it? !

That's it? ! ! !

I saw the last line of the performance ranking list, which was impressively printed with the latest points of Su Cheng's black and white impermanence——

2043 points.

From 1943 points to the current 2043 points... So, they traveled thousands of miles to Wuxi, racing against time, and Lian Xi even spent 150 yuan in a taxi to get here.In the end, this old ghost is only worth one hundred points? !

Such a thick golden light, so thick that it makes people breathless and scream, is it worth a hundred? !

Lian Xi's face fell instantly.

It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen!Lian Xi calmed down: "Master Heiwuchang, did you make a mistake? This old man only has [-] points. There are only two possibilities for this situation. First, the thickness of the guiding golden light is actually not necessarily related to the points; ..." Lian Xi raised his head, "There must be other ghosts in this village!"

Jichen didn't hesitate: "I think it's the second type."

Lian Xi also said firmly: "I also think it is the second type."

The two nodded in agreement.

Anyway, it can never be the first one!

It’s like playing a game to draw cards. The first nine draws are all R cards, and only the last one is left. I know that this time the car is probably overturned, but I still have the greatest expectations in my heart: What if?What if it is an SSR?

Already spent 150 yuan, Lian Xi will never allow this money to go to waste!

However, the truth is always cruel.

The village is not big, and it took the two of them an hour to walk around the whole village.

At night, country people seldom wandered outside, but Lian Xi and Ji Chen didn't need to enter the house, they could directly check outside the house to see if there were ghosts wandering in the house.

The breath of the living is different from that of the dead. As long as you use the proof of impermanence to examine the yin energy of the dead, you will find nothing to hide.

But they searched for it three times, three times!Not a single ghost!

Lian Xi: "..."

Ji Chen: "..."

Now Lian Xi gave up completely, he turned on his phone: "Go back to Sioux City now, maybe I can catch a few more ghosts tonight." But it's another 150 yuan to take a taxi back!

Lian Xi felt his heart was bleeding.

But soon, he gasped in surprise: "No signal?"

President Xi looked at him calmly: Although I don't know what the signal is, as long as I don't ask, then I know.

Lian Xi held up his mobile phone and looked for a signal everywhere: "It's strange, the rural areas are covered by the Internet now, why there is no signal suddenly."

After searching for a long time on the field ridge path, the signal has never been connected.

Just when Lian Xi was about to go back to the farm and ask someone to borrow wifi, he turned around and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

I saw a small figure hobbling over on the dark country road.

It is a loess dog.

This is an old dog, so old that the dog's hair is a little yellow, and it walks very slowly, without much strength.

It just walked up to Lian Xi and Ji Chen slowly, raised its neck, looked at the man in black with clear black eyes, and then...

Rubbed Jin Chen's foot.

Lian Xi suddenly woke up, his scalp went numb, he turned his head to look at Hei Wuchang, thinking that Hei Wuchang, who was ignorant of human affairs and did not speak human words, wanted to give this dog a social kick, so that it would know that it was not a ghost, and he could rub it casually of.Unexpectedly, in the dark night, the handsome and indifferent man quietly looked at the puppy with his eyes down. After a while, he bent down, reached out his hand, and stroked its head.

Lian Xi was stunned.

After a while, Heiwuchang turned to look at his colleague and asked, "What kind of creature is this?"

Lian Xi came back to his senses: "Dog."

Heiwuchang stroked the dog's head, there was no emotion in his deep and dark eyes, but his fingers were extremely gentle.

"Oh, dog. It's time for you to reincarnate."

"Hmm..."

Jichen opened the certificate of impermanence and sent the dead old dog to be reincarnated, and a line of text appeared.

"Caizi, 2009-2020, died in an accident"

Lian Xi was a little dazed, why, do the ghost guards even accept the souls of animals?

As if hearing the words in his heart, Jichen stood up and said with a sneer: "Everything has a spirit, and you humans are not the only ones who are the real masters in the world."

Lian Xi: "But I've never encountered an animal ghost before."

Jichen glanced at him: "Why do ghosts linger in the world, and don't automatically reincarnate at the moment of death?"

Lian Xi thought for a moment: "Because they either happen suddenly and forget that they are dead. Or they have obsessions and don't want to reincarnate until they finish. Most of them are the latter."

Ji Chen: "All things are pure, but people's thoughts are complicated and their obsessions are deep."

At this point, Lian Xi already understood what he meant.

Most of the animals are simple, just thinking about filling their stomachs every day, and occasionally meeting the needs of racial reproduction.

But people want too much.

If you want too much, you will have more obsessions, and you will be nostalgic for the world and refuse to reincarnate.

but……

Lian Xi: "What kind of obsession does a dog have?"

Mr. Xi put his hands in his pockets, and continued to be black and impermanent without emotion.

Even Xi didn't expect to get an answer from President Xi.But he looked at the two adjacent names on the impermanence certificate.

Liu Zhaoqiang, rich man.

They all died in accidents...

Does this dog belong to that old ghost?

Both humans and dogs have gone to reincarnation, and no one knows the real answer.

Walking on the country road, Lian Xi kept looking for the mobile phone signal.But he is not in a hurry, anyway, there should be a signal when he walks on the main road.

When passing by a farm house, two elderly peasant women were sitting on the drying ground, eating melon seeds to enjoy the shade.

"Zhao Qiang died this morning, do you know?"

"Ah, which move is stronger?"

"It's the one in Sancun."

"Liu Zhaoqiang? He is my uncle's brother-in-law! How did he die?"

"A car accident. Alas, the TV in his house broke, so he wanted to send it to the town for repair. When he was riding a bicycle to the town, he was hit by a motorbike and died. Now Zhao Qiang's family is planning his funeral. Lie."

"I remember that Zhao Qiang is blind, why did he send the TV set to the town for repair, and he can see it?"

"Didn't he carry an old dog every day, and the old dog showed him the way. I heard that the motorcycle was driving too fast, and the old dog reacted by barking, but Zhao Qiang couldn't dodge it, and was killed. And so what if he can't see it, both of his boys and girls are in the city, and neither of them is willing to take the old man over. Zhao Qiang's mother-in-law died long ago, so he can only live at home alone. No If you fix the TV yourself, someone will fix it for him."

"Then his little girl is back?"

"I'm back, why don't I come back? I came back at noon and asked the motorbike driver for 10 yuan. Besides, Zhao Qiang opened a massage shop in Wuxi two years ago. I heard that he saved a lot of money. He As soon as the little girl arrived home at noon, she ransacked the box to find money, and now that the two of them have got 20, they are planning to give the old man a funeral."

"Alas, sin."

The two village women were still mourning the old man's death.

Lian Xi looked down at the words "Liu Zhaoqiang" on the impermanence certificate, and remembered the lie he told.

Are you crying?

Crying, just fake crying.

How can anyone be blind while alive, but still a blind ghost when he dies without a body?Just don't want to see it.

What is the obsession of the old yellow dog? Is it because he failed to save the old master who depended on him for life, or did he think that the master's death was his own fault?

Lian Xi lowered his eyes and closed the proof of impermanence.

Before closing the thin booklet, Lian Xi glanced at the performance rankings, and then...

Lian Xi poked Hei Wuchang's arm with his arm.

Jichen looked at him meaningfully, and finally said that sentence: "Call me by name, and still poke me?" The colleague suddenly became more courageous.

Lian Xi didn't hear what he was saying at all, and just pointed at the impermanence certificate with a shocked expression on his face. "Look! Look!"

Ji Chen frowned slightly, opened his impermanence certificate, and then...

"?!"

Guichai's performance ranking list for the month.

……

No. 25, Guichai, Sioux City, Suzhou Province, with a performance of 3943 points.

Lian Xi was horrified: What the hell, a dog actually gained 1900 points? !

Are people not as good as dogs?

Let’s take a look at Wuxi Guichai, whose monthly performance was 4214 points!

Just a difference of less than 300 points.

Defeat the penultimate, just around the corner!

Lian Xi instantly gained momentum.

The bottom one is rewarded with a coin of gold, which is 2500 yuan when exchanged for soft sister coins.

It can be the penultimate one, and the direct reward is doubled, 5000 soft sister coins!

Lian Xi: "If we search more in the past few days, we will definitely surpass Wuxi."

President Xi glanced at him: "Beyond the second-to-last, and then become the second-to-last?" President Xi sneered, expressing his disdain.

Even Xi didn't bother to talk to him, that's not what you said when you entered the village just now, it's so weird.

There is no delay in earning points.

Lian Xi quickened his pace, looking for the cell phone signal.

"Huh, there is?"

After finally finding a mobile phone signal, Lian Xi was about to take a taxi when suddenly, an unfamiliar number called.

Lian Xi was taken aback, then connected the phone: "Hello, hello."

A young voice came from the other end of the phone, with a slightly impatient tone: "Hi, Lianxi, right? I'm Wang Zihao."

Lian Xi didn't remember who this person was.

But soon, the person went on to say: "I sent you a WeChat message for a long time before, why didn't you reply, I asked Zhao Wei for your phone number."

Lian Xi finally came to his senses: "Doctor Wang?"

"Ah."

That's right, this person is the intern that Lian Xituo helped find.

Realizing the possible reason for the other party's call, Lian Xi's expression suddenly became serious: "Did you find the nurse who delivered my baby that I asked you to find?"

Dr. Wang: "Well, that's it. I sent it to you on WeChat. You can read it yourself. If there is no problem, please confirm again. You can go to find someone in two days. Sister Qin has been looking for you for a long time and asked A lot of people asked about it."

Lian Xi was taken aback for a moment: "Oh, I'll treat Sister Qin to dinner later."

Dr. Wang: "Okay, I'll hang up then, I'm busy."

The author has something to say:

捩 · Unfamiliar with personnel · General Manager: Oh?You say I'm ignorant?Then you might as well teach me what is human affairs.

CC: Lord Yan is very fair. He gave Mr. Xi high force and didn't give him a good brain.

Hades of Ten Temples [horrified face]: I don't have me, I'm not you, don't talk nonsense! ! !
