C9 Three Generations of Poverty Through Yin
Before I could react, the door was opened by a key.
The curator stood outside and saw that I was still standing there in a daze with tears on my face. When the time came, I would be infuriated. What reason was there to lock a girl inside? Besides, this is a funeral home, and there's a body inside. "
At the mention of the corpse, I cast a guilty glance at the location of the wooden bed. Gu Chen helped restore the corpse to its original state after the dejected ghost had left. Although it was just a trick, it should be enough to deal with it.
"Ye-zi, don't cry." The curator came over and handed me a packet of tissues. "Just wait, I'll make him apologize to you in front of all the employees tomorrow. "You can go home tonight, I'll stand guard for you." The curator patted me on the shoulder. As a relative after all, he had to take care of Zhao Dajia's face.
My tears have nothing to do with Zhao Da Na. The culprit is still standing by the side. Gu Chen used a magical technique to hide his body, but the curator's eyes couldn't see it. Otherwise … He could be scared to tears.
"..."
The curator was on duty for me, so I didn't feel too embarrassed. I accepted it and went home with Gu Chen.
After getting on the light rail line 1, they made all sorts of turns until it was almost completely dark before they finally reached their home. We lived in the villages within the city. Furthermore, the terrain of the mountain city was very complicated, so we could only walk the rest of the way. Furthermore, Lou Yi was built on top of the mountain, so it was very messy …
"This is the only place you live?"
Gu Chen knitted his brows as he sized up the old and run-down house in front of him. The muddy road beneath his feet was much more shabby compared to the rows of tall and sturdy buildings. Embarrassed, the corners of my mouth twitched. Looking at the greyish white walls, the blue awning, and the chaotic array of wires, I sighed softly.
"Do you think I want to live in a place like this?"
In the circles of the Underworld, there was a saying, "Catch ghosts and ruin your life, walk the underworld for three generations." This was because the Yin would often reveal the secrets of the world and would directly punish the person on top of their head. Either he would spend his entire life on the streets, or he would be childless and lonely. Grandfather has children and grandchildren, but the punishment is three generations of extreme poverty.
When my father was young, he didn't believe in evil, and he would also do all sorts of business, but he always lost everything. Later on, he had no choice but to obediently accept the arrangement of fate, obediently going to work to get married and have kids. But because of various reasons, our family was still very poor, and we had to calculate money every month.
Or would a girl like me be a corpse picker for money and a funeral home?
Then we walked on.
Near my house, I vaguely saw a stooped figure, swaying, stopping every few steps to rest. I stared at the figure, vaguely familiar but also vaguely uneasy, goosebumps rising on my skin …
Suddenly, a strange wind arose and something on the ground smashed into my face. I frowned and took it off. It was actually Zhang Ming Coin! I was so scared that my face turned ashen, but Gu Chen yawned and snatched the underworld coin from me.
"Ye Zhen, if you want to bribe me, at least you have to pay a bit more. Only then would it be enough."
[He … He is still joking with me?!]
My eyes widened in astonishment. I was about to explain when an old voice spoke up from behind me. "Little Zhe is back?"
I was so scared that my legs went limp. Luckily, Gu Chen pulled me, otherwise, I would have kneeled on the ground!
