Because of Ji Canghai's arrival, Liu Shan has indeed restrained himself a lot.
To be precise, he deliberately avoids us every day. Even when he goes to bed at night, he comes back a little earlier than me.
However, I dare not let my guard down.
This old man is full of bad ideas and is not very clear about it. He probably started to make trouble behind his back again.
Ji Canghai didn't talk much. Apart from occasionally asking me about the rules for carrying a corpse, he spent the rest of the time fiddling with the half of hemp rope in his pocket.
He studied very seriously, but he was a layman after all. He relied on oral narration for a lot of things, and he could only give a rough outline.
A few days later, I suddenly received a text message.
It's Chen Changming.
The text message only had a few words: I found the thing, remember to call me.
There is gentleness between the lines.
I couldn't help but snorted: You've done all the bad things, and you're still here pretending to be a good person with me?
I stared at the text message for a long time and didn't reply.
I put down my phone and fell into deep thought.
From that ghost baby, to him borrowing money in my name, to now I am plagued with bad luck.
All of this was a hole dug by Chen Changming behind his back.
The only bargaining chip I have now is that book.
A bold idea gradually emerged in my mind.
I decisively blocked Chen Changming and planned to play a long game and try to catch the fish in one go.
It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
In the afternoon, Ji Canghai and I were studying the path of the Northern Taoist priests. Before the book was opened, the door opened.
When I looked up, it was Chen Jiayan.
"If you don't just stay in the dressing room, why are you here?"
Chen Jiayan smoothed her hair and looked at Ji Canghai with a timid look in her eyes.
"Well, I have something to tell you."
The moment I looked at her, I understood everything.
"It's okay, we're on our own."
Ji Canghai took a few steps back, then stopped, and nodded to me with gratitude in his eyes.
Suddenly, he stood up, frightened Chen Jiayan and took a few steps back, looking like a frightened rabbit.
"Don't be afraid."
Ji Canghai bowed deeply to Chen Jiayan: "I'm sorry for the past few days."
Chen Jiayan looked at me and responded with a somewhat bewildered response: "No, it doesn't matter."
I quickly stepped forward and gently held Chen Jiayan's wrist: "It was a misunderstanding before, don't be afraid."
Only then did she calm down a bit and asked in a low voice.
"Boss Wang asked you to meet him, did you go?"
I was slightly startled: "No."
In fact, I didn't pay much attention to it at all.
So many troubles are happening to me at the same time, how can I care about these things?
"He just came to see me again."
Chen Jiayan hesitated for a moment: "If you have nothing to do, you can go there in the evening."
What she said aroused my curiosity.
You come to me again and again, this is definitely not an easy matter.
"Okay, I'll go tonight."
Chen Jiayan tugged on my sleeve: "I asked someone to inquire about it. He also found a few people before. However, since he finished looking, these people have disappeared."
These words shocked me. How dare a dwarf kill people and steal goods?
But I still comforted her: "Build roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water. It's okay."
"I will go with you."
"ah?"
I looked at Chen Jiayan in confusion and asked, "Didn't you say it's dangerous?"
Her voice was not loud, but she was extremely firm: "It's just the danger that makes me go with you."
"I can help you support the crowd!"
Chen Jiayan was afraid that I wouldn't take her with me, so she added another sentence.
"Count me in."
Ji Canghai's voice sounded behind me. When I turned around, he had already walked over.
I thought about it and hesitated: "Don't go there, that place is a bit evil."
Although I didn’t have much contact with Boss Wang, I felt an eerie feeling from the moment I entered his funeral shop.
Ji Canghai has not even touched the threshold of Taoism now, so dragging him into the water must have made me worried.
Faced with my rejection, he still looked serious and did not give in at all.
"This girl also said just now that the place is dangerous and you can use me."
"Besides, she's a girl who dares to go with you, why can't I?"
Seeing that I was silent, Ji Canghai asked again: "You don't look down on me, do you?"
"What does that mean? Absolutely nothing."
I smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's it, I'll go after get off work."
