Chapter 7 Landlord, IOU

I felt that there was no way out and I could only do what grandpa said.

However, grandma's words on the other end of the phone were like a bolt from the blue.

"Xiao Cui is dead."

"What?"

"Just last night, she was hanged in costume from the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the village."

It's like I was struck by lightning, how could this happen? Is it because I delayed for too long that something unexpected happened?

Yes, more than ten days have passed since my grandfather told me to marry Xiaocui in his suicide note, and I have already missed the opportunity.

Grandma did not blame me, but said in a trembling voice: "It's too late, this is my life."

It seems that I can't complete this thing that grandpa told me. What will happen if I can't complete it? Will I die?

For a moment, I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, until my grandma called me on the other end of the phone.

"Child, child..."

I came to my senses and didn't know what to say, so I comforted my grandma and hung up the phone.

This series of changes made me overwhelmed, and I didn't dare to hesitate any more.

I went back to the house where Zhang Sangui taught me how to tattoo. I didn’t stay too long. Someone immediately made a sign in front of the door and hung it up.

There are two big red characters written on the signboard - Thorn Soul.

There are also a few lines of small words below - dispelling diseases and calming the house, exorcising evil spirits and attracting wealth.

I also made an LED light box and placed it right at the door.

I decided not to think too much and just follow my grandfather's instructions step by step. Some things really shouldn't be rushed.

However, my signboard was erected, and my reputation as a soul stabbing master was also hung up, but no customer came to my door for several days in a row.

It's probably a signboard issue.

Maybe many people don't know what stabbing souls does.

In addition, the location of this street is really remote. There are not many people on the street in front of the door all day long.

I regretted it a bit and thought about finding a new store with a good location, but after pinching the little money left in my pocket, I gave up the idea.

It happened that in the afternoon, an old man in his sixties came to the door. He was the landlord of this house.

This old man was skinny and his eyes were narrowed. As soon as he came in, he asked me where was the old man with a hunchback? I know he is talking about Zhang Sangui.

I told him that Zhang Sangui had sublet the house to me and I would pay the rent in the future.

The old man stretched out his hand directly to me: "It's due in three days. Come on, renew the rent first."

I was stunned, because I had no money now, and the little money I brought with me, after finishing the door sign and light box, there was not much left, and eating was almost a problem.

This old man showed no mercy and simply said he would get out if he had no money.

I said nice things to Smiley Face, hoping he would give me some mercy for a few days.

The old man agreed, but asked me to give him an IOU.
