As the saying goes, hitting someone without slapping them in the face will expose their shortcomings, but I was pressed against me by an old man who didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost and kept slapping me.
Although the damage was not high, it was extremely insulting. I also fought back, but it had no effect. What I got in exchange was one big mouth after another.
"Uncle... I beg you, don't hit me... If you want to hit me, just switch to the other side. Don't hit me on the other side. I used to have a big face on this side, but now it's gone." I begged with tears streaming down my face. .
To this day, I still don’t know why I got such a slap in the face. I am just a taxi driver with no money and no power. I have been kind since I was a child and never bullied children. Why did I have to suffer this fate?
"Ahem...boy, first tell me how you saw me?"
The old man put down his hand that was about to continue slapping me, and asked me with a smile that was not amiable at all.
"Huh?" I was stunned, not knowing what he meant.
"Boy, let me ask you, how did you see me? Do you have yin and yang eyes?" The old man's face gradually lost patience and turned back to that hateful look again.
"Yin and yang eyes? Uncle, you are mistaken. I have yin and yang eyes. I have night blindness. If it weren't for these glasses, I would..."
Halfway through my words, I was stunned. My glasses had already fallen on the car when I was unconscious. At this time, he was lying on the grass beside the car, with the old man sitting on his crotch.
"Sure enough, it's the yin and yang eyes..." the old man said with another grin.
Seeing this smile, I felt like I was standing on my head with chills all over my body. If I hadn't been strong-willed, I would have been scared to death.
"Sir...Sir...you see, I am an orphan. I am a taxi from an orphanage. I don't have anything I want. You, sir, have a lot, so just let me go." I was really scared and could only beg the old man. .
"Shut up, I am surprised to see your plump and round bones in the heaven and the square in the earth. You also happen to have yin and yang eyes, so I want to find a job for you. Can you do it?"
The old man sat on me and the old god was talking.
I stretched out my hand and patted the old man's leg gently. He moved his leg away knowingly. I struggled to put my hand into my trouser pocket, took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to him.
"What?" the old man said, glaring at me.
"The fortune tellers at the park gate used to say the same thing about me. I usually gave them ten yuan. Look, you just praised me for a long time and didn't give you some hard-earned money. It's inappropriate..."
When the old man heard this, he raised his hand and wanted to slap me again. I was so scared that I quickly covered my face. Unexpectedly, the old man smiled dryly and took away the ten yuan from my hand and stuffed it into my pocket.
"Young man... you have a sharp eye... As the saying goes, if you don't hit the smiling person with your hand, you should get the money earlier..."
The old man took the money and even changed my title, directly upgrading me from kid to young man.
"Hey hey hey... then uncle, can you get up first?"
When I saw the old man smiling, I quickly also smiled and begged.
"Of course……"
The old man stood up with a smile, but kept looking down at me, as if he wanted to see through me.
I quickly protected my chest and ran up vigilantly.
"Your name is Zhao Zilong, right? You were born in the year of Ji Mao...the month of Yihai...on the day of Ji Mao. What I said is right..."
I seriously doubt that this old man is a fortune teller, or a very powerful fortune teller. He must have used some kind of magic to confuse me just now.
"Um...I don't understand..." I shook my head in confusion for a long time, saying that I didn't understand what the old man said about this year, month, and day.
"Why are you so stupid? I'm just asking if your birthday is November 23, 1999, which is the sixteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar."
The old man's face was extremely ugly, and he even gritted his teeth.
"should be……"
"What should be? If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not."
The moment the old man raised his hand, I shouted loudly: "I am an orphan. I don't know when I was born. Don't go too far. If you slap me in the mouth again, I will fight you."
After saying that, I also opened my posture. After all, I am 180 meters tall. How can an old man meet people in the future if he has such skin?
"Snapped………"
After another crisp sound, I collapsed on the ground, holding the old man's legs and begging him not to hit him again.
"Stop inking, all the readers will be gone soon." The old man said, twisting my ears.
"Okay, sir, tell me, what do you need me to do? I will do my best, do my best, and die exhausted."
"I suspect you are trying to make up the word count..."
The uncle rolled his eyes at me, kicked me away and started talking.
"I'm actually not a human being. You should have guessed it. It's pure fate that I found you. Now there's a job for you. You don't have to think about rejecting it, because this is your destiny."
I looked at the old man eagerly, seeing that what he said was so mysterious, I couldn't bear to interrupt him.
"I am a native of the underworld, a god among ghosts, and I also have an official position in the underworld. Are you willing to hire you to be our civil servant in the human world?"
The old man's expression was very serious when he said this, which made me look serious.
"What exactly do you need me to do? What benefits can I gain?"
When facing an unknown job, you must ask what it is for, whether it will violate laws and disciplines, whether it will be harmful to nature, and whether there are any benefits.
"I know you're running all night because your orphanage is in trouble, and you want to save the orphanage, right?"
I never expected that this old man would reveal the truth in one word. I swear, I never mentioned anything about the orphanage to him.
At the same time, I was indeed a little scared. This old man admitted that he was no longer alive. Who wouldn’t be afraid of facing a ghost in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid?
"As long as you take up your position and work hard, I guarantee that the orphanage will be able to turn danger into a disaster, how about it? Is this worth following ***?"
I stared at the old man, and when I heard that there was hope of saving the orphanage, I was no longer afraid.
"What do I need to do?" I summoned the courage to ask.
"Use your car to pick up ghosts."
The old man asked, pointing to the taxi behind me.
"Don't be surprised. They are all public officials who came here to ferry the souls. Can you just be our ferryman?"
"Why me?" I asked in confusion. As long as I could save the orphanage, I wasn't afraid of death, but there were some things I still needed to ask clearly.
"Because you were born in a yin year, yin month, and yin sun. If you guessed correctly, you should still be in yin time and yin moment, with a pure yin body. Only you can not be afraid of ghosts and the yin energy of ghosts."
"Are you sure you can save the orphanage?"
I didn't care what the old man said and asked again what I was thinking.
"As long as you work hard, it will definitely work."
"Okay, that's it."
"Okay, congratulations on becoming the first rental ferryman in our Hades and Yin Division. You also accepted the meeting gift just now. Now I will give you your entry reward."
Having said that, the old man took out a rag doll from nowhere. This rag doll was about the size of a Coke bottle and looked similar to the rag dolls sold in the store.
I don’t know why, but the moment I saw it, I felt very familiar, but I didn’t know where that familiarity came from.
