I took a look, and while I could still open my eyes, I quickly forwarded this WeChat message to Yong Qianqian.

After he received it, he sent me a red envelope of two hundred yuan. I couldn't open my eyes after receiving the money.

I don’t know how long it took, but just when I was deeply sleepy, I was woken up by a cool touch on my face.

When I saw that it was Gu Yichen, my heartbeat rate gradually dropped.

"It's past seven o'clock, it's time to get up and have something to eat," he coaxed me in a low voice.

I gasped and looked at him, silently complaining in my heart.

Gu Yichen reached out and pinched my face.

I turned sideways and buried myself in the pillow, "Well, okay, I'll take it easy first, and then I'll take a shower."

A few minutes later, I got up, took a quick shower, put on a bathrobe, and dried my hair with a hairdryer.

After changing clothes, I left the bathroom.

Gu Yichen, wearing an apron, called me to eat.

I sat at the table, eating the boiled eggs he handed over, and asked him in a vague voice, "I'm going to pick up Song Xukang's soul later. Do I need to bring anything else?"

He hummed without thinking and sat down to eat noodles. "Well, you can call Hu Yanzu and Huang Cuilan."

"Should we call them over for noodles?" I asked subconsciously.

"No, I ordered takeout for them." He pushed me and said, "Eat quickly. We can call them over later."

He said, picking up his phone and swiping a few times.

A few minutes later, Hu Yanzu and Huang Cuilan appeared in the store, "Hello, boss."

"Lao Hu, please wait a moment. I've ordered takeout for you two. It'll be there soon." Gu Yichen waved his hand as he spoke.

The rolling shutter door at the entrance of the store was lifted up with a roar.

Within a few minutes, the takeaway boy put the takeout bag on the counter.

"Eat quickly. After eating and taking a rest, it's time to go to work." Gu Yichen said to them.

"thank you boss."

As they thanked each other, there was a sound of takeout bags.

I smelled the smell of roasted chicken, mutton soup and donkey meat being burned.

"Brother Yichen, you bought them roasted chicken? And donkey meat and mutton soup?" I widened my eyes and looked at Gu Yichen in disbelief.

"Well, if the female ghost becomes very powerful later, they will still need to work. So, you have to eat something good in advance." He explained.

"I don't understand this. Don't I have to work soon? Why can't I eat something good?" I rolled my eyes at Gu Yichen, "What? Don't I deserve to eat meat?"

"That's it, Momo, the noodles I make contain my ghost energy. If you eat it, you will be infected with more of my ghost energy. Ordinary ghosts will be afraid of you and will hide away. If you want to eat meat, , you can buy it and eat it tomorrow," he paused, "but if Lao Hu and Sister Cuilan eat the food I cook, I'm afraid they will get sick. Do you understand?"

"Okay, then you must buy it for me tomorrow, okay?" I had to take the opportunity to ask for conditions.

"Okay, I got it, eat quickly." Gu Yichen raised his eyebrows and looked at me like a child.

After we finished eating and rested for a while, Aunt Song rode an electric bike to the store.

Aunt Song arrived at just after eight o'clock. She said she wanted to come earlier but was afraid of being late and was afraid of walking at night.

As soon as I heard this, I quickly packed up, unplugged the electric tricycle, and followed Aunt Song directly to the Songjia Village not far away. Entering the courtyard gate of Second Aunt Song’s house, Aunt Song locked the door.

When I sat down in the small living room upstairs, I checked my phone. It was nine o'clock sharp.

Aunt Song and I sat on the sofa. Gu Yichen, Lao Hu, and Sister Cuilan also sat down respectively. Anyway, the sofa has enough seats.

On the coffee table on the sofa, there was an electric kettle with a pot of freshly boiled scented tea. Second Aunt Song poured a cup for Aunt Song and me.

She would definitely not be able to see Gu Yichen and Lao Hu, otherwise she would have poured them a drink.

Of course, there are also fruit plates and dried fruit cigarettes on the coffee table.

Second Aunt Song said a few polite words to me and then started to sigh.

Also, in this situation, as Song Xukang's mother, she was restless.

For a moment, the living room suddenly became quiet, a little awkward.

"Well, my husband and the others didn't believe in this kind of thing before, but now that something like this happened to Xukang, it's hard not to believe it." Aunt Song continued, "I have believed it since I was a child. Why? Because I went to work as a farmer. This happened to my dad when we were in school, let me tell you about it."

Aunt Song said that it was probably around the 1980s, when she was eleven or twelve years old, and her father was working in a fertilizer factory. At that time, the family was still growing melons, so when her father was off work, he would sell melons.

One night during the summer vacation that year, she and her father were walking home after selling melons. Her father was riding a bicycle with a big water pipe, and she was sitting on the big bar in front.

There are still unsold melons in the two cart baskets at the back. The tops are covered with some grass plucked from the melon fields to keep them fresh.

Although the melons were not sold out and it was not yet nine o'clock, it started to rain heavily.

Her father was afraid that the rain would be heavy and the father and daughter would not be able to return home.

He quickly put the melons into the bamboo basket and carried her back home.

When they were almost walking to the center of the town, she and her father heard a cry. At that time, they thought it was the voice of a young girl. The father and daughter were in a hurry to rush home, so they ignored her.

But in order to prevent her from being afraid, her father took off his jacket and covered her head before continuing to rush home.

But after a while, she felt the big water pipe bicycle stopped.

She took off her clothes and asked her father why he didn't leave.

Her father told her that it was strange, how come there was a young woman combing her hair in front of the house of Lao Guo, the fish seller? His father said that he clearly remembered that there was no such young woman in Lao Wang's family.

But she saw nothing. There was nothing at the door, let alone a young woman combing her hair.

When her father heard this, he was horrified.

He immediately covered her with his coat and muttered, "Children, what can they see?"

Then he turned a corner and continued walking on a small path.

After returning home, they were caught in the rain. Logically speaking, they should wipe their bodies with hot water, wash their hair, and drink a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold.

But her father didn't even drink ginger soup, let alone wash his hair with hot water.

Just lie on the kang and smoke cigarettes.

After her mother brought ginger soup to her father, she asked them if they had eaten out and whether they needed to make some hot soup or something?

Aunt Song told her mother about the request for money on the way.

Before Aunt Song could finish speaking, her father jumped up from the kang and shouted that there was someone outside.
