I use ghosts as cash machines

Chapter 5 The hemp rope is broken at the delicate point, and the bad luck looks for the poor

The next day, I completely understood what Uncle Jin meant by "gang".

After I woke up and opened my eyes, my instinct was to say hello to Uncle Jin.

I wanted to say hello to a ghost, and thought it was a normal thing. I was surprised at my transformation, but I still looked around to look for the ghost of Uncle Jin.

Surprisingly, Uncle Jin, who had been in my room since I woke up, was gone.

I tried calling a few times, but I didn't hear a response from him. Maybe he went to visit other ghosts I knew?With this thought in my mind, I climbed out of bed tremblingly and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.

Although my legs and feet are still a little weak, they are much better than yesterday.

I finished brushing my teeth, bent over and spit out the last mouthwash in the sink, then straightened up and looked at the mirror in front of me——

"Ahhh-"

A sharp cracking sound came from my throat. I felt that the scream was a bit too miserable, as if the whole hospital was shaking.

I almost went crazy: "Uncle Jin, what are you doing!"

Uncle Jin chuckled with a miserable face, eerie and terrifying.

I was just frightened by this terrifying face in the mirror and screamed.

Uncle Jin: "I said it yesterday, I want to train you. This is the first time, and there will be a second time, a third time..."

I angrily showed my fist to the mirror in front of me.

Uncle Jin looked like he needed a beating: "No matter how hard your fist is, you can't hit me slightly..."

I raised my middle finger——

Uncle Jin saw my international friendly gesture, put away the triumphant expression on his face, closed his mouth, and left the bathroom angrily.

At this time, there was a knock on the bathroom door: "Miss Su, is there something wrong with Miss Su?"

It was the nurse who heard my screams who came.

My brain was racing, and I made up lies to get through: "No, it's okay. I just suddenly lost strength in my legs, cramped, and then fell. I'm fine now..."

The nurse gave me a few instructions and left.

However, I kept using this lame excuse over and over again in the next few days.

Sometimes it's the twisted and mutilated limbs that suddenly appear in front of me, sometimes it's the dark and empty eye sockets that appear in the reflection of the water I'm drinking, sometimes it's the pale face with disheveled hair...

I lost a lot of glass and ceramics as a result.

Families already heavily in debt have become even worse.

I watched my mother collect all the fragile items around me and replace them with stainless steel ones.

Stainless steel water cup, stainless steel spoon, stainless steel rice basin...

I glanced sideways at Uncle Jin.

Uncle Jin looked like a child who had done something wrong, with his hands folded in front of his crotch, his eyes wandering, his movements awkward and reserved, and he gave me a flattering smile from time to time.

I sighed and opened the window.

Just then the bell of the elementary school opposite came from the window.

Uncle Jin patted me on the shoulder: "I knew you would understand my good intentions and forgive me, kind little girl."

After saying that, he stared at the entrance of the elementary school intently, looking for his wife and his daughter as usual. …

The speed of my recovery surprised the doctors. They said they had never seen a person who had been bedridden for more than half a year wake up and basically return to action in just three or four days. After examination, there were no blood clots in my blood vessels, but for the sake of To prevent accidents from happening, I still hope I can stay in the hospital for a while longer.

I thought about the loan of more than 100 million yuan that my mother showed me, and shook my head, this is not possible, I have to go out to make money as soon as possible.

"Patient, haven't you been having leg cramps lately? I heard you screaming very loudly, it must be quite painful, right? Although the cause has not been found out yet, for the sake of safety, I still hope to observe it again..." The doctor was a little cautious. Open your mouth.

I have been frightened a lot these days and have screamed a lot. The medical staff are very responsible and do not ignore me because of my frequent screams. They do their best to observe my condition every time.I also feel very guilty about this.

After hearing what the doctor said, my mother frowned and looked at me: "Do you often have cramps? Why didn't you tell me? I asked you if you had any problems, and you said you were recovering well."

I hesitated and said: "Uh...it's nothing serious. Maybe I'm suffering from calcium deficiency or something. Just take some calcium tablets and get some sunshine..."

My mother looked at me with great disapproval: "You are not a doctor, and you are treating yourself. Just stay in the hospital for a while, and we will discharge you when you are completely fine!"

"Mom! I'm really fine. I can go out to work and earn money!"

"You don't have to worry about money. You just need to recover well and then go to college. If you have too many lice, don't be afraid of being bitten. If you have too many debts, don't worry. You can pay them back slowly. You won't be short of the thousands of dollars in hospital bills."

In the end, I couldn't overcome my mother's love for my son, so I continued to stay in the hospital.

……

In the dead of night, I was lying on the bed, thinking about the serious loss of collagen on my mother's face, my father's suddenly old body, the pressure of having to bear the loan, my life that was taking a turn for the worse and my unclear future. After all, I couldn't help crying. come out.

First I cried muffledly, then howled loudly, almost until I could hold my breath. Then I gradually felt better and began to sob softly.

Uncle Jin did not scare me at night like he did a few days ago. Instead, he sat quietly on my bedside table.It wasn't until my sobs gradually disappeared that he slowly spoke:
"Do you know how I felt when I heard you say today that you wanted to be discharged from the hospital?"

I didn't answer, immersed in my own sad mood.

He asked himself and answered: "My first reaction was, it's over, if you leave, no one will open the window for me."

I smiled bitterly: "But, it seems that I can't do anything except open the window for you. I have no money, no ability to make money, and now, I don't even have a normal body."

I was a little tired from crying, so I got up from the bed and washed my face.

Then poured himself a glass of water.

Uncle Jin: "That's not true."

"Ok?"

"I said, that's not the case."

Uncle Jin pouted: "Didn't I tell you, you are a shining existence in the eyes of us ghosts..."

"Aside from allowing me to attract more ghosts, what else can that do?"

I suddenly collapsed, and the mood that had just calmed down was aroused again. I almost collapsed and yelled at Uncle Jin:

"It's just because I saw you! You! That's why I was so frightened that I screamed. My mother had to pay thousands of dollars more in hospital bills because of this! Is it just to open this broken window for you!"

I stumbled angrily to the window and closed it with a snap.Looking at Uncle Jin angrily:
"Shit is shining brightly, why should I! Why should I accept your training, why should I be scared over and over again, why can't I go to college like other people! Why should I have to bear this burden at such a young age? So much debt! Why...have I done something so evil...have to live so hard..."

I was hoarse, I was filled with resentment, I——

Powerless.
