After offering the wrong incense, the fairy family forced me to pledge myself to you

Chapter 45 The Ghost Festival at the Funeral Home

Director He said this, so naturally I didn't dare to stay any longer.

Even though he was hiding in the lounge, he could still hear the faint crying coming from outside.

After crying for a while, I stopped.

I was still young when my parents died young, and I can no longer remember the grief I felt at that time.

But seeing other people's lives and deaths, I still couldn't help but feel sad.

Just when I was filled with emotion, my cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Ye Chenchen's name, I felt a little flustered for no reason.

After all, this is the first time to take care of a family fairy, so something will inevitably go wrong.

I didn’t dare to think too much and quickly connected.

"Chenchen, are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?" Ye Chenchen asked, "I'm very fine!"

"Where's Qin Mu'an?"

"I just left!" Ye Chenchen laughed, "I light incense once every half hour to summon him, but he seems to be a little overwhelmed."

"Ye Chenchen, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! Qin Mu'an is right, but he is not a human being at all. You two..."

"Hey! I heard from Qin Mu'an that you ordered some incense mixed with croton for Ning Zhen last time and he drank it for several days?"

Ye Chenchen interrupted me without warning, leaving me unable to react for a while.

"Yup!"

"You know how to make incense?" Ye Chenchen's tone was full of doubts, "Shen An'an, something is wrong with you now! Not only did you learn how to make incense, but you can also identify the gender of bones! Logically speaking, this is not something that a scumbag like you can accomplish. of!"

"And Tai Chi!" I muttered, "I learned it all on the fly!"

"No! Why did you become a new person after being entangled by Ning Yi? Is this the legendary method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang?"

"What kind of nonsense is collecting yin and replenishing yang?" When I mentioned Ning Yi, I suddenly shuddered. "Oops!"

"what happened?"

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot! There is a CET-[-] test next week! Ning Zhen said, if I fail the test, I will be dead!"

"Ning Yi is not your father, so why are you so lenient?"

"But I made a wish to him to pass Level [-]! And the way he helped me realize my wish was... to let me work hard on my own!"

"Tch, why do you want to find him if you can work hard yourself?"

"No! Chenchen, I won't talk anymore, I'm going to read a book!"

Before Ye Chenchen could speak, I hung up the call.

But as soon as I put down the phone, an inadvertent glance from the corner of my eye made me freeze on the spot.

Why does the date on the mobile phone show August [-], [-]?

its not right!
Could it be that the funeral home has no network and the time is not synchronized?

But the signal is clearly full!
Sensing something was wrong, I looked around.

Finally, his eyes fell on a calendar on the wall.

It was an old-fashioned calendar, which seemed a little out of place with the decoration of the room.

The first dozen were torn off, and the one displayed now turned out to be August [-], [-], and under the number [-], there were three small words "Hungry Ghost Festival" clearly marked.

Hungry Ghost Festival?
The legendary ghost festival!

Sensing something was wrong, I quickly stuffed the tablet into my suitcase.

When he lifted the lever and was about to sneak away, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

I hurriedly stuffed the suitcase under the bed, and then opened the door after adjusting my mood for a while.

"Director He!"

I screamed subconsciously, and my eyes fell on the dinner plate in Director He's hand and couldn't move away anymore.

So much meat!

It smells delicious and looks super delicious!
"This is the dinner the chef has cooked for you!" Director He walked in and laid out the dishes one by one. "Try and taste what doesn't suit your taste, and I'll ask the chef to pay more attention next time."

"Should I eat alone?"

"Of course!" Director He nodded, "The supper tonight is barbecue and hot pot!"

Why keep walking?

With this kind of food and treatment, I can work for the rest of my life.

"Thank you, Director He. Can I eat first?"

"Eat it!"

Seeing Director He nod, I quickly sat down and ate hard.

"We have sent away the guests from Group A!" Just when I was eating vigorously, Director He suddenly spoke. "You are only responsible for keeping an eye on the guests in Group B!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Since I had a mouth full of rice, I agreed vaguely.

"Then I'll leave first. See you at six o'clock tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, Director He, please walk slowly!"

etc!Did I forget something important?

wrong!

What's more important than cooking?
……

Once I was sure that Director He and the others were gone, I locked the door from the inside.

And, all the lights were turned on.

But despite this, I was still scared.

I wanted to light incense and call out Ning Yi, but I was afraid that he would tell me that I would come to him for all the big shit.

never mind!

I'd better read a book!

I took out my English book and immersed myself in reading.

As I read, I got into the situation.

Without the stumbling before, I read the entire book smoothly.

Stretching, I picked up the phone.

The time is displayed at 58:8 pm, and the date is still August [-], [-].

So weird!

How about I go out and look for a signal?
But the older generation has a rule, that is, no night walks are allowed during the Hungry Ghost Festival.

The Ghost Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival. It is a day when the gates of ghosts are wide open. It is easy to encounter unclean things when walking at night.

Thinking of this, I sat back in my chair.

Stare at the phone screen until the time reaches [-]:[-].

But just when I thought the danger had been lifted, I was shocked to find that the date still showed August [-], [-]!
How could this be?
Why does the date of the funeral home always stay on the Hungry Ghost Festival?
'Boom dong dong'

Just as he was frightened, there was a knock on the door behind him.

I was agitated, and then I clutched my chest in panic.

"Who?"

"Sending you supper!"

supper?

That arrives so fast?

After adjusting my mood, I walked over and opened the door.

I saw a fat man wearing a chef's hat standing at the door, and on the dinner plate in his hand was a huge barbecue.

"Supper is here!" The man said expressionlessly, "Eat!"

"Didn't you say that the late-night snack is hot pot and barbecue?"

"Would you like me to get you a few cans of beer?"

"No, no, I'm just asking casually, these kebabs are pretty good too!" Having said this, I quickly took the plate. "Master, you didn't get off work?"

"Who will make you midnight snacks when I get off work?"

"That's right!" I smiled sheepishly.

This Director He is also true!

Even if I am a temporary worker, I still have to introduce other staff to me, otherwise the embarrassing scene just now will not happen.

The man glanced at me, turned and walked away.

Just as I closed the door and picked up a skewer to stuff it into my mouth, my phone suddenly rang.

It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night and it was an unknown number, so I had no intention of answering.

But that number kept calling, and I had no intention of eating.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" As soon as he answered the phone anxiously, a breathless voice came from inside. "Open the door quickly!"

"Open the door?" I was stunned for a moment, "Who are you!"

"I'm the chef! I'm bringing you a midnight snack!"

"You... are you a cook?"

Then who was the one who brought me supper just now?
"Nonsense! Hurry, open the door!"

"What did you send?"

"Hot pot and skewers!" the other party said impatiently, "Hurry up! I have to go back to bed after delivering them!"

My head is buzzing.

The hair on the back suddenly bloomed.

I stiffened my neck and looked at the barbecue in my hands.

The originally bright and attractive meat on the skewers had turned blue-gray at some point, and was covered with deep, shallow and looming scars.

That scar looks like... corpse scar!
When the word 'corpse' popped into my mind, I threw the skewers away and screamed.
