Coffin of the Nether World - C62
“You wrote this to me?” she asked me, holding up the slip of paper.
I nodded and said that I had written it, then I saw that she was looking at me with an unwavering expression. I asked her, “What is she going to do now?”
Instead of answering my question, she asked me, “Do you think I’m following you again?”
I said there was one reason, but that was secondary. It was mainly because of the exam. You can read more now, but I didn’t expect you to sleep until I came back.
I was afraid that she might or might not have anything to do with me, so I added, “Of course, it’s up to you if you don’t look.”
Every time I saw her so sick, I couldn’t bear to take revenge on her, even though she was usually really hateful, and I really hated her.
After all, this kind of unreasonable and bullying was really unbearable, no! Or rather, it should be bullying me, occasionally embarrassing me in class, so many times I wanted to stand up and point at her nose and hit her back, but I held it back.
However, since I gave her the supplementary questions this month, the time she spent mocking me in class had gradually decreased.
Once I overheard the girl she was playing with ask him why he hadn’t bullied me recently, and she replied that it was pointless to bully me all the time.
No matter what, she didn’t come to find trouble with me. I was really free, thank God, so I spent the last month feeling exceptionally comfortable.
After I replied her, she seemed to still want to say something, but Sister Kexuan was calling her from the outside, so she turned around and went into the living room. I immediately went to look for Lao Xu, and we followed her out.
Sister Kexuan told Zhang Kefan not to sleep in her room tonight, and that she would sleep with her for a few days. After a few days, we would have to find another place to stay.
Zhang Kefan was completely confused by these words. When she asked Sister Kexuan what kind of person she was, she said rather awkwardly: “About this … I went to find the fortuneteller to calculate it for you and Xiao Fang. The fortuneteller said that if you change your bed today and go to sleep, you will perform exceptionally well during tomorrow’s exam.
“Elder sister, you didn’t believe in these things before, why did you think of telling us our fates this time?” As she spoke, Zhang Kefan glanced at me.
“This… “This sister here also wants to seek some good fortune. The exam is more important, she occasionally trusts us and doesn’t get anything.” Sister Kexuan held Zhang Kefan’s hand and said: “Anyways, you can sleep with big sister tonight.”
I interrupted and said, “This is all thanks to the good intentions of the Sister Kexuan and it’s not like we’re lacking a piece of meat. Just listen to the Sister Kexuan! If it were me, I would have gone to sleep with him.”
“Pui!” “You wish!”
Zhang Kefan glared at me and said, “Don’t even think about it, go sleep in your dog nest! I want to sleep with my sister. ”
I was already used to her attitude, and since she said it in such a manner, I just shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly. I stood up and said to Sister Kexuan: “I’m going out again, I’ll be back before dinner.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. The little ghost seems to be busy all day long. I really don’t know what you’re busy with all day.”
“Where are you going?”
Hearing Sister Kexuan’s words, the moment I walked to the door, I heard Zhang Kefan’s voice. I turned around and pointed at the slip of paper in her hand that hadn’t been thrown away yet, and then left without saying anything.
After leaving home, I directly went to Lao Xu’s paper sacking shop. When I went there, Lao Xu was drinking wine on the table and gnawing on a roasted chicken.
Seeing me, he handed me the chicken leg that he had just taken a bite of and asked, “Do you want to eat it?”
I didn’t want to eat the things he ate, so I shook my head and said, “It’s worth it. You eat by yourself, so I came over to ask you if you got anything.”
He picked up his wine cup and took a sip before asking, “What’s this? Just with this roasted chicken and wine, other than the stars and moon in the sky, I’ll think of a way to get everything else for you!”
At this moment, I was too lazy to chat with him. “I don’t know either, but it’s a small object. It’s best if it can be hung on one’s body. The most important thing is that it must belong to the five elements.”
“A small object. To be able to hang it on my body, I need to have a consciousness and also need to have five elements …”
Lao Xu carried the request of me like a chicken in his mouth, then swallowed the meat in his mouth and said to me: “You bunch of kids, I’m afraid you’re just dreaming, the first two are still okay, where will I go to find the last two, even if I have them, I’ll definitely take them as treasures for the shop, so I’ll just hand them over to you!”
“Does that mean you don’t have this thing here?”
He ate the last piece of meat from the chicken leg and threw the bone into the trash can beside him. Then he drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp before nodding.
Then he told me, “The last two things you mentioned are destined to be different from the others. People who are rich and powerful usually have these things, and a large part of the reason why they can become rich is because of the spiritual nature of the thing they own. So even if I know that it exists, it is impossible for them to take it out.”
Since Lao Xu doesn’t have it, then what should I do? Lao Sun is the same type of person as Lao Xu, so I don’t think that Lao Sun would have one either.
I didn’t have any idea. I couldn’t let her put a plastic bag of water in it tomorrow, let alone her. I wouldn’t do such a weird thing.
Lao Xu asked me if it was because of Zhang Kefan, and I didn’t want him to know that I pushed out such a huge pile of stuff, so I just said no, it was someone from my sister’s company looking for me.
Just as I finished speaking, Lao Xu used his oily hands to pat me, and said to me: “You even lied to me, hurry up and tell me the truth, otherwise I won’t even help you.”
Although I didn’t know that he knew I was lying, I was more concerned about the second half of what he said. Did he mean that he had a way of helping me? But didn’t he say he didn’t have the mark I wanted? Then he can help me?
I told him my idea. He suddenly chuckled and said to me, “I really don’t have what you want, but I know that there is.”
“What do you mean yes?”
I immediately asked him if there really was a way for me to borrow it.
“Don’t worry about it. Do you want to borrow it when you have it?”
I nodded, that’s what I thought, and I nodded when he said it was true.
However, I didn’t expect that Lao Xu would laugh and say to me, “You better give up on this idea. I just said that it’s impossible for you to borrow this kind of thing, so if you really want it or want to borrow it for a few days, you have to listen to me and get it.”
“Right, are you in a hurry?”
“Tomorrow is the exam, aren’t you in a hurry?” As soon as I said it, I felt I had slipped.
As expected, Lao Xu smiled at me, and scolded me: “Why are you being so stubborn, it’s just for your sister, I don’t even know what kind of person you are thinking all day, you’re still not willing to admit it.”
I felt that my face was a little hot, and I didn’t want to continue picking up Lao Xu’s words, so I waited for him to speak.
“Since you already said that you are very anxious, then I can’t do anything about it. Do you want to listen to me? It’s almost 4 in the afternoon, we don’t have much time left.”
I also knew that time was of the essence, I thought that Lao Xu would not lie to me, so I agreed without hesitation. Then, I asked him: “Do you want to do something?”
Lao Xu laughed, that smile was too familiar, every time there was a large sum of money coming to his door, he would smile like that.
“One to deceive, one to steal. You choose.”
