Psychic Tattoo - Chapter 83 The Words Of The Fox King
I had a good night’s sleep. Feng Chunsheng phoned me, and told me it was time to go to the ghost house and settle this matter.
The things about the ghost business was – if I delayed, I might lose even my own life.
Ruan Qinse had given me one hundred and twenty thousand Yuan to help deal with her ghost. Such a large sum of money could continue my mother’s life.
My little brother called me just as I transferred the money.
“Brother.”
As soon as I answered the phone, my brother hurried to ask me whether I was doing anything illegal recently.
He said that the top graduates from his college couldn’t even make as much as I was making, and he thought I was doing something bad.
He said that these days, doing something illegal could make money fast, but if you made a mistake and got caught by the police, you’ll be in for a lifetime.
I told my brother not to worry. I earned every penny, and although it was little dangerous, it was honest money, so he did not need to worry about me. Then, I told my brother to take good care of Mother while I earned the money.
My brother did not press me further. He just said he would take care of our mum.
I said “You needn’t think any more about it. This year I will check your final report card, and if you fail a subject I will come back to beat you.”
After a few laughs, my brother hung up the phone.
……
I still had twenty or thirty thousand Yuan, but I need this money for myself. I intended to give Feng Chunsheng a little money even though he said he temporarily did not want my money, at least until my mother’s illness was cured.
But I had to give him a little money. Plus, Cang Shushu’s meals were no small expense, so I had to save a little money.
After that, I rode my little electric bike to the tattoo room.
Mimi and Liao Min had already arrived.
As soon as they saw me they looked excited, “Shui, can we be saved?”
“Crap. Of course.”
Feng Chunsheng handed me a cigarette. When I smoked, I felt the taste was not right. When I had a closer look at it, I noticed it was a fairly expensive brand.
I stared at him and said, “Brother Chun, you smoke such expensive cigarettes?”
“Life is only a few decades long; I should enjoy it – eat what I want, drink what I want, smoke what I want. It should be meaningful.”
No wonder he was once rich but eventually became a beggar. This guy’s life philosophy was luxurious but was out of tune with reality.
After I smoked the cigarette, I said to Liao Min and Mimi, “The man who will help us today is Chen Yuhao. He is not an ordinary person, so you can rest assured everything will be OK.”
While we were talking, Feng Chunsheng received a phone call. After a few exchanges, he said Chen Yuhao was waiting for us downstairs.
I nodded and wanted to take Liao Min and Mimi downstairs.
Suddenly, the cute girl, Cang Shushu, who had been standing by the door, said to me pitifully: “Boss”
“Why do you sound so pitiful? I’m going out to work, not to die.” I stared at her.
She said again, “Boss, you said I can eat until I become full.”
Become full?
I asked her, “Did you eat breakfast?”
“No,” she shook her head hurriedly.
Good girl, you’ll do anything to eat my food Why didn’t you buy a few buns on the way here?
I sighed and said, “OK…”
I pulled out a hundred Yuan bill from my wallet and handed it to her, “We may not come back by noon today, so you can eat by yourself. By the way, if anyone comes by, let them make an appointment for a later date.”
“Sure.” She took the money happily. As she took the money, she immediately shook her head, “Boss, what if this money is not enough?”
“What…” I swallowed my words. With her appetite, one hundred Yuan may really not be enough.
I took out another fifty Yuan: “Save a little. There is no food left in my home.”
“Sure.” She took the money and gave me a salute.
Once that was settled, we went downstairs.
In the street, Mimi asked me where I found such a cute little girl.
I said she was my receptionist.
Mimi smiled and said Cang Shushu was actually a very hard worker. She said that when they came in, they saw Cang Shushu repairing the broken appliances and cracked walls of our tattoo studio.
Mimi said she worked hard, and her strength was impressive. When she was repairing that wall, she carried a heavy bag of cement up to the studio.
“Really? I guess my money isn’t being wasted on her.” I now found that her appetite was not such a big disadvantage. After all, she worked hard.
She could do a man’s work, and she could also serve customers. I did not doubt her; she was gentle and very attractive.
“Well, I need her around.”
While we were going downstairs, Feng Chunsheng also talked to me about Su Yizi and the other college students.
He said he made a phone call last night to inquire about the Northeast Fox King’s family.
There was indeed a girl in the Northeast Fox King’s family called Zhu Wei. She had been dead for two years, but the Northeast Fox King’s family could not find out who did it. But one thing was certain – what killed Zhu Wei was definitely not the curse of the Fox Empress, but another person.
“Did Su Yizi cheat us?” I asked Feng Chunsheng.
He shook his head and said the matter was not clear. Su Yizi, after all, was just an ordinary college girl. She didn’t know what the curse of the Fox Empress was, either. Perhaps someone cheated her.
“This can wait until we settle the matter of the ghost house,” I said.
Feng Chunsheng nodded, and then he said, “Hey, Shui, I have to tell you something. The people of the Fox King’s family told me this.”
“What?”
Feng Chunsheng said, “If we can discover who killed Zhu Wei, the Fox King’s family will kill that person, and also give us a sum of fifty thousand Yuan as a reward.”
“That’s good,” I nodded. “Anyway, we have the Yin and Yang Tattoo mirror; it can show us the ghost. We could do that.”
In addition, we would have the support of a master, so we could probably find out the truth without too much trouble.
I said, “OK.” It was entirely possible to do so.
“If you agree, I’ll send a message to the Fox King that you can take care of this.” Feng Chunsheng went aside to make the call. Then we saw Chen Yuhao.
I said hello to Chen Yuhao: “Brother Yu.”
“Get in the car.” Chen Yuhao was still cold. He asked me to put his wooden box in the trunk.
I opened it, and Chen Yuhao sat in the car, not saying a word.
We all got in the car.
When we were in the car, Chen Yuhao did not speak. We did not know how he planned to settle the ghost house matter. Feng Chunsheng didn’t ask either, just driving the car silently.
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Yuhao suddenly spoke, he said, “I like to do things with smart people; I do not like to do things with fools. I have an idea in mind about how to settle the ghost house matter, but I won’t say it. Shui, you tell me – what should we do?”
I thought he was testing me. In fact, I did have a plan in mind.
I said, “If we want to save these two girls, we first have to find the right house. Of course, the seven women sold quite a few houses. Not only do we not have the time to look for it, but you do not have the time, either.”
“So what do you want to do?” Chen Yuhao asked me.
I smiled and said, “You always said, ‘all the room skills in the world are of the five elements theory’. That ghost house’s five elements are disordered, and the people in that house also defy the five elements. My master once said that in geomancy there are four skills – observe the sand, research the water, seek the dragon, locate the tomb. In fact, the four skills are in accordance with the five elements. Therefore, I think that if we really want to find that ghost house, Brother Chun could do it.”
“Ha.” Chen Yuhao suddenly laughed and said, “You are not a silly boy. You really understand something about the ghost business now.”
Then, Chen Yuhao said to Feng Chunsheng, “Drive to the ghost house over there.”
Were Chen Yuhao and Feng Chunsheng testing me? If I couldn’t answer it, would they just forget it?
Chen Yuhao was always like that, so I didn’t say anything, but Feng Chunsheng This guy! How could he also betray me?
While Feng Chunsheng was driving, I asked Chen Yuhao what he thought of my abilities.
“Not a natural talent, but wise enough,” he said.
I did not know what the qualification was. In any case, they took me, Liao Min and Mimi to the Wild Dragon Valley on the outskirts of the city.
Nowadays, villas are mostly built in the suburbs, and Wild Dragon Valley was particularly suitable for building villas.
When we reached the edge of the villa community, we did not go inside. We felt those villas were weird. They looked like they lacked tone on the inside; it was pretty spooky.
I was about to lift my leg to approach, Chen Yuhao suddenly shouted at me, “Don’t move. Nobody enters those villas.”
“Ah?” I turned back and looked at him.
He squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it at the villa community’s gates.
Bang.
After a loud sound, the whole villa community underwent a terrible change.
