Take your sister to catch a ghost

Chapter 22
Perhaps there is another possibility, I can ask Snake Bone Po and the others, they may help me take care of Xiaoxi.

To survive in today's society, there is one thing that is absolutely indispensable, and that is money.

I have been saving money all these years, but no matter how much money I have, I feel that it is far from enough.

In the past, I always laughed at those who were obsessed with pursuing money. At that time, I thought it was enough to have enough money, but after having relatives, I realized that we should not only live for ourselves.

So I decided to look for a job.

I want to support Xiaoxi, but until now, I have never bought her a luxury item, and the most expensive one is just that piano.

The job in the publishing house was not eaten up. I still kept two hours of manuscript writing time every day, and the remaining time was enough for me to find another job.

I have gone through all the talent markets, but I haven’t found a suitable job. Although I don’t mind working as a coolie, if I live alone, I don’t mind even sweeping garbage on the street, but now that I have Xiaoxi, I have to Get a decent job!

There is no need for the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass. There are very few such jobs. I can only look for them slowly, not in a hurry!
At eight o'clock in the evening, when Xiaoxi was about to leave school, I walked out of the house and walked to Xiaoxi's school.

When I got outside the school, I stood at a distance and watched quietly.

After a while, the bell in the school rang, and a group of students came out. When the number of people became less and less, I saw Xiaoxi!
Xiaoxi was alone. After she walked to the place where I had been standing and waited for a while, she set foot on the familiar road home alone.

After she walked for a while, I slowly followed.

I was a hundred thousand worried about her walking alone at night, and thought countless times what would happen if she met a hooligan?What if she is injured?What if she was bullied?
She buried her head and watched her toes move forward, took a step to look at her toes, and then took another step forward.I was a little startled when I saw it, what should I do if I fell down while walking like this.

Watching her enter the house, I turned and walked into the garden.

When I just left, I left a few notes, saying that I would not come back at night, and asked her to make arrangements for herself at night, and told her not to stay up too long at night.

In the garden, I sat on the edge of the marble table. Now that the weather has turned cold, those old people are unwilling to come here, so after the sun goes down, there is no one here.

In fact, apart from the weather, another reason is the two urns I buried in the back garden. The ghost attribute is very dark. Those old people are about to use up their lifespan. The yang energy is not enough. How can they bear the influence of such a heavy yin energy? !

After sitting for a while, the snake bone woman appeared behind me and asked me, "Why don't you go home?"

"Don't want to go home!" I said!
She smiled and said, "Don't worry about letting your precious sister stay at home alone!"

As soon as she said this, I remembered something, and said to her with a pleading voice: "Can I ask you something?"

"Hey, don't be like this when you are old. I can't bear it when you are in your decades."

I rolled her eyes and said, "If I die in the future, can you take care of Xiaoxi for me?"

She listened, put away her joking face, sat beside me, and said, "She's not your real sister, you don't have to do that at all!"

I smiled and said, "But she is my dearest person!"

She said to me: "I'm a ghost, you are not afraid that one day I will be upset and send her down to see you?"

"You won't!" I said.

She fell into silence after that, and after a long time said: "Well, before the impermanent ghost catches me, I will help you take care of her after you die, but if I am caught by the impermanent ghost, you can't blame me !"

I nodded and said thank you, and then said: "In this life, I owe you the most besides my parents. If I can reincarnate, I will definitely repay you like a cow and a horse!"

"Come on, it's not certain whether you will be able to reincarnate in the next life, maybe you will be like that impermanent ghost, and enjoy yourself as a petty official below, even if you owe me, I won't dare to ask you for it, you If you want to repay me, why not take me out to play once like taking your sister out to play!"

I thought about it, called out the hair-eating ghost, and asked him to look at Xiaoxi.

Afterwards, I said to the Snake Bone Woman, "Go, I'll take you out to play!"

She looks like a human at night, and she can only be recognized as a ghost in daylight, so generally no one will recognize her as a ghost at night.

"Ah?" She froze for a moment, then said, "I, I'm joking!"

"You are close to 30 years old, why are you still so coy, you said you let me take you out to play, I agreed, are you happy now?" I looked at her and said, then grinned .

She froze for a few seconds, then said, "Let's go!"

She was walking on the street in a white dress. In the past, some people would think she was a ghost, but now, she is dressed like this, and the word to describe her has changed, which is called fashion.

But I see how awkward she looks in this outfit.

"How about I buy you a set of clothes!" I looked at her on the left and said.

She nodded for a while, then said, "Okay...Okay!"

Then I dragged her into a clothing store, bought a set of the same white clothes, and after she finished wearing them, I came out, and I said, "How nice he is, look at the previous dress, he looks more like a ghost than a ghost!"

After paying the bill, I thought about it and took her to the night market. There are many small commodities here. I asked her if she liked anything. Not all of them like it.

She said: "People who are 29... don't need these anymore!"

The last time I thought she was in her 30s, it was because of her dress, so I had the illusion that she was actually only 29 years old, more precisely, she should have been 29 years old when she died.

I nodded and said: "It's really old, if you don't buy these, you will never have another chance!"

After I finished speaking, she said to me: "Then why don't we go shopping again now!"

I nodded and agreed to her. In fact, I decided to let her visit these places because I really didn't know where to go with her. The purpose of taking her out was just because she asked, and I was too embarrassed to refuse. .

I went shopping again, bought her some plush toys, and bought some dolls for Xiaoxi by the way, women have absolutely no resistance to such furry things.

I walked around with her casually, and went back after eleven o'clock in the evening.

I opened the door quietly, afraid of waking Xiaoxi up. After I entered the room, I found that I was lying on the sofa and fell asleep, and I saw her supper on the dining table.

I looked at her and smiled, then bent down and hugged her, she hugged my neck in my sleep.

After I carried her to the bed and covered her with the quilt, I took a shower in the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and saw that my beard had grown again. I am really old these days!

After taking a shower, I was just hungry, so I heated up the food on the table, ate a hot supper, and then went to the bedroom to write the manuscript.

Last night I dreamed of Xiaoxi’s father again, and it was still the same as before. He kept talking to me but I couldn’t understand. I asked people in the group if they could interpret dreams, and they said no, not yet. Learn this!

Xiaoxi's father has been my heart knot for the past ten years. This feeling is very uncomfortable, just like when I was studying, I knew the solution to this problem, but I just couldn't write it!
After finishing the manuscript, I wondered if I would take Xiaoxi back to her hometown sometime to have a look. After all, her biological father’s body was buried there. I haven’t taken her there for ten years. Isn’t it a little too close? It's a favor, maybe what her father wants to tell me every night is to let me take Xiaoxi to see him!
After all, I abruptly robbed the daughter he had raised for six years.

It was Xiaoxi who woke me up the next day, and it was already past ten o'clock when I woke up.

I opened my eyes, and the first thing I said was: "Why don't you go to class?"

"Today is the weekend, we are on holiday!"

I said a word, then got up from the bed, after washing, Xiao Xi went outside and bought me some steamed buns, and said, "There are only steamed stuffed buns left!"

"It's good to have something to eat..."

After eating, I said to Xiaoxi: "I'll take you to pay homage to your father in the afternoon!"

Xiaoxi put down my phone, looked at me for a while, and then nodded!
Since I was a child, I seldom mentioned this to her. Maybe she can't remember what happened at that time now.

After telling Xiaoxi about this, Xiaoxi put down her phone and ran into the bedroom, and then ran out again, holding a bear doll in her hand, and said, "Brother, did you give this to me?"

I nodded, hmm: "Do you still like it?"

"Yeah!" She nodded sharply and said, "Thank you brother!"

I smiled, then waved to her, beckoning her to come over, I was puzzled for a moment, then walked in front of me holding a bear doll about her height.

When she was just standing in front of me, I stood up and hugged her suddenly through the bear doll.

She was startled and was at a loss for a while.

"Xiaoxi, if one day I leave you suddenly like your father, will you blame me?"

After being stunned for a long time, she said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? I'm so scared to hear you say that!"

Only then did I realize that I was a little too aggressive just now, so I quickly let go of her and said, "I've said it's true... What are you afraid of, why are you so timid!"

After she let go, she still stood there. I went up and touched her forehead, and said, "Are you really scared? I was wrong... I will never scare you again!"

As soon as I finished speaking, her eyes were filled with tears. I panicked and asked, "What's wrong? Is it really scary?"

She shook her head, and then said in a crying voice: "When I think about my brother's death, I want to cry!"

I smiled, stepped forward to wipe her tears, but didn't say anything, the more she was like this, the more worried I was.

"Don't cry... I will get angry if you cry again!" I said.

She looked at me, and then, like me, put down the doll and hugged me, and after a while, she let me go.

Seeing that she wasn't crying anymore, I said, "It's fine if you don't cry... we'll go out in a while, it's so ugly crying."

She nodded, and then sat on the sofa with the white doll in her arms.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I took Xiaoxi and set off on time, and went to the store to buy some white candles, incense, firecrackers and paper money.

There is only a black car from here to that place, there is no way, I can only get on a black car.

It was a van, and the car was very crowded. I tried my best to leave more space for Xiaoxi. After my extreme efforts, the space left for us was still very small.
