C67 (1/2)
”I'll be going back to the shop first. Come look for me at the shop if you need anything.” After finishing breakfast, I took a taxi to the store and promised to stand at the entrance with my hands on my waist. I pouted my lips and looked at me angrily.
I whispered, ”What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
”Where did you go last night?”
”I went to Zhou Qing's place last night, and after a busy night, I still couldn't get it done.” I sat down at the table and reached for a cup of tea. ”Nothing happened at my house last night, right?”
He promised softly: ”It's nothing, I told you about Zhou Qing's matter. What happened?”
I saw that Promised had a curious look on his face, but I just didn't want to say it. This little girl was especially curious about this kind of thing, but I thought it would be better if she didn't have any contact with him.
I sat in the shop until noon, and now the business is not easy, thanks to a little spare money, otherwise I could have starved to death by making money.
”Ring, ring …” I hung a bell at the door and it rang whenever someone came in.
I looked up and saw a teenage girl in a school uniform come in. The girl carried a schoolbag on her back, and on her face was a pair of big eyes that flickered about. She scanned her surroundings, and finally looked at me.
”What's the matter, little sister?” he whispered.
The girl looked at me and said, ”May I ask if I can divine fate here?”
I smiled and said, ”What do you want?”
”Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I have something that I need your help with.” After saying that, the girl sat down on the chair. She didn't seem unfamiliar at all, as if this was her home.
Saying that, he poured a cup of water and passed it to the girl. Then, he asked softly, ”Little sister, you drink some water first. If there's anything, we can talk slowly.”
The girl reached out to grab the cup, drank some water and said softly, ”My house seems to be haunted, I don't know if you guys can catch ghosts.”
I stared at the girl's eyes for a while, and sure enough, there was a ball of black air lingering between her eyebrows.
”Of course you can, but is your family here yet?”
The girl shook her head and said, ”No, I'm alone. I don't have much money in my pocket, but I can give you all my living expenses.”
After saying that, the girl took out her wallet, took out 200 yuan, and handed it to me. ”I only have this much money, is that alright?”
I curled my lips and said, ”Little sister, you should be studying at school now, not here. Moreover, I'm very expensive.”
”Little sister, don't worry. If you have anything to say, just say it. Big sister will help you.” Then he took the two hundred dollars and handed it back to the little girl.
”Then I'll tell you. I found out that there was a ghost in my house, in my bedroom.” I got up one night in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw a ghost girl sitting at her dressing table putting on her makeup. It looked scary, and I was scared, but my parents didn't believe me at all. She looked at me and said, ”Can't you help her? How pitiful is she?”
”Where is your home? Take us to it.” I got up and picked up my backpack. There was no helping it, I had eighty-one ghosts to send.
Saying that, I followed the girl to her house. Her house is in a high-end residential area and her environment is pretty good.
”This is my home, my home is on the ninth floor.”
”Is there anyone at home?”
The girl hurriedly said, ”No one. If my parents knew, they would definitely scold me.”
I whispered, ”Let's go in and take a look.”
The three of us entered the building and took the elevator up to the ninth floor. The girl took out her key and opened the door. When I opened the door, I felt a cold breeze blowing out from inside.
I couldn't help but be shocked. My right hand subconsciously reached into my backpack before entering the room. The furnishings were ordinary, but they were clean and tidy.
