Chapter 354 Friendly Neighbors
As for the daily conversation between the two of them, if it were translated in a more expressive way, it would be like this -

"Thank you very much for sending me food, thank you very much!

Is there anything you need my help with?

Oh oh oh, no?
Then I'll ask again next time.
No, no, no, you won't bother me, but I'm really sorry for bothering you. "

Another one, Lao Xu, who was disturbed and had to be sneaky when going out and returning home, probably answered:
"Haha, it doesn't matter, Lao Zhang-chan.

I don't have any need for your help. I just want to go out and get home.

Thank you very much for your inquiry. I really regret causing you trouble. "

Um.
This kind of conversation is so interesting.

It's really rare for this person and a ghost to be so polite.

Even Lao Xu refused to accept the corresponding 'repayment' for a long time, which directly caused the neighbors next door to hold back a big move——

Introduced a ghost wife to Lao Xu.

This is the beginning and end of everything
I was silent for a few seconds and looked at Lao Xu who was constantly wiping tears on the ground:

"Well are you moving next?"

Lao Xu nodded crazily:

"Move, move!"

"I'd be crazy if I stayed here any longer."

The scary neighbor, the half-lived daughter-in-law, and the community almost entirely surrounded by ashes.

Any one of them is enough to penetrate a person’s sanity.

After all, Lao Xu is just an ordinary person. Although I know the details of my neighbor and his wife, he doesn't know that this is the limit of an ordinary person.

If I say something to him to change his mind, then Lao Xu will not be the same Lao Xu as before.

A neighbor who can 'make a wish' as ​​long as he delivers food has to involve so much greed.

Without saying anything, I reopened the elevator that had been closed for a long time, lifted Lao Xu out of the elevator door, found a place where no one was around, and lent him my cell phone to call the police.

As I thought, there was no one in Lao Xu's house.

The report to the police by Lao Xu was considered to be a dream he had while sleeping and proof of mental abnormality.

The police came and left, but the ambulance came suddenly again.

The flashing lights carried Lao Xu away, and the time was approaching one o'clock in the morning.

This sudden episode really consumes people's energy.

Fortunately, there was only one floor between Lao Xu's house and Yu Jiajia's house. I easily found the familiar door along the familiar road.

Of course it's not good to wake people up at this point, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

I wasn't even sure whether I wanted to stay in Shucheng at dawn, so naturally I wanted to take a look at Yu Jiajia early and leave with peace of mind.

And speaking of young people who surf the Internet intensively, they shouldn’t be able to sleep, right?
at least i am
After adjusting the bouquet I had tied in my hand, I knocked on the door in front of me.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A dull knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor.

One blast, two blasts, dozens of blasts.

If you knock for a long time, it won't open.

I took out my phone and sent a message to Yu Jiajia:
"have you slept?"

The other side replied after a few minutes:

"No, what's the matter, baby?"

My eyebrows twitched, I took another look at the sect number, and entered it again:
"I want to see you, is that okay?"

There was silence for a long time, and the 'inputting' sign jumped urgently for a long time before the answer was sent:

"Eh?"

"It's not very convenient, baby."

"I haven't been home recently. I went to the confinement center that Mrs. Gu prepared for me." "How about this? You pick a place and we go out to have dinner."

Yu Jiajia still looked like she was out of her mind, but she could no longer hide her abnormality.

I stood at the door and thought for a few seconds, put down my phone, took out a piece of paper and inserted it into the crack of the door. I turned the paper into a blade with another move, turning the soft paper into a hard object to serve as a key——

"Click."

The door lock opened in response, and it was dark inside.

I took a step inside, walked into the darkness, and reached out to fumble for the switch at the entrance.
"Click."

There was another sound, and the room suddenly lit up with dazzling white light.

My eyes went blank for a moment, and then I saw a piece of paper that was as wide as an arm and half as tall as a person—

Black and white portrait.

No, portrait.

The portrait is very new and is placed on the altar table facing the door.

There is also an urn wrapped in black cloth, an incense burner, and traditional tributes of oranges, apples, and bananas on the offering table.

There were no signs of dehydration on the tributes, there wasn't that much ashes in the incense burner, and the tabletop was very clean with no dust.

This old lady has just moved in.

That's right, old lady.

The black and white portrait is not of Yu Jiajia, but of an old lady who looks very amiable.

According to the life history in the corner of the portrait, it is estimated that the old lady should have lived to the age of eighty-eight and died.

The reason why it appears here is that it is a columbarium for the elderly and children.

But in this case, where is Yu Jiajia?

I confirmed the house number, and there was no room for evil spirits to hide in front of me. There was no such thing as a ghost breaking into the wall.

Moreover, although most of the original furnishings in this home have been taken away, all the large furniture that cannot be moved is still there.

I have slept on the sofa and coffee table in the living room and eaten there.

So, where did Yu Jiajia go?
No notification, no explanation.

The child was forced to abort, but she did not say anything.

She did not say anything about moving or selling this house as a columbarium for her people.

Even three minutes ago, when asked if she had slept, she was still trying to hide what she wanted to hide
So, what happened?
An unpleasant feeling passed through my heart. I took out the four incense sticks I carried with me from my bag, inserted them on the incense burner of the old lady who was the current owner of the house, and whispered:
"Old lady, let me offer you some sticks of incense. If you are a kind person or know something from the past, just tell me what happened to the previous owner of this house, okay?"

"If you are willing to tell me, I am willing to offer you several times more incense."

Pay tribute to the gods with three incense, and invite the ghosts with four incense.

The incense was lit and burned out, but there was no reaction in the house.

I pulled out the little bit of incense sticks that were burned under my body so as not to scare the elderly and their children when they came to offer incense.

I finally understood the situation in front of me——

Again, not all dead people can turn into ghosts.

This community is a former ancestral hall, and there must be hundreds of ashes. It is normal for a few, or even hundreds, to slip through the net.

There must be a threshold for ghosts in this neighborhood.

Otherwise, the newly built community may have been renamed 'haunted community' early on.

This old lady didn't eat any incense at all. She didn't become a ghost, so she couldn't ask for anything.
So, who to ask?

I turned off the light and returned to the darkness, walked dozens of steps down the stairs, counted the house number, and came to the door of the man named Lao Xu just now.

I folded paper on the spot and made an incense burner. I used Yin rice as a base and repeated my old tricks to light four incense sticks.

As the smoke line of incense slowly rises——

The door that was originally closed quietly opened a crack.
I brought in what Neon Girl said. I hope someone understands the point of this joke w(Д)w
