"Where's your master?"
Upon encountering such a rare incident, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was excited and asked the devilish children where their master had gone.
"He went to gamble." The devilish brat said dejectedly," Master said that he wanted to go and take a gamble. He might be able to earn enough for a month of our living expenses, but there's a high chance that he'll lose everything."”
"You know that you're unlucky, but you still went to gamble. Is your master in a hurry to give money to the gambling house?”Daoist Priest Four-Eyed rolled his eyes.
Lu Chen pursed his lips." Martial Uncle, gambling ghosts are not worthy of sympathy. Let's hurry!"”
For a gambler, even if he was not unlucky, he would probably lose all the money he had earned.
Gambling was a losing game, so it was not worthy of sympathy.
"That's true."
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shook his head and shook the Soul-Assimilating Bell to let the corpses return to their original positions. He then shouted," Brothers, let's go."”
"Daoist Priest, Daoist Priest…Wait!!”
When the four brats saw that Lu Chen and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed were about to leave, they anxiously went forward to stop them." Please help our master!"”
Because they couldn't earn money, they had already run out of ammunition and food. At night, they had to rely on drinking water. If they were unlucky, they would starve to death.
"Why should we help you?" Lu Chen glanced at these ignorant brats and said indifferently,"You just splashed water on us…"
"We apologize!"
The devilish children knelt down without any shame. Lu Chen raised his eyebrows." Apologize!？If an apology was useful, why did they need the security team? I'll tell you the truth. Because you splashed water, you damaged a lot of our talisman papers. As long as you can compensate us for our losses and pay the commission fee, we can help your master get rid of his bad luck.”
It was impossible to work for free. This was a matter of principle.
"But we don't have money."
The devilish children had bitter expressions. They didn't have a single cent. They had all been gambled by their master.
"There's no need to say that if you don't have money.”
Lu Chen waved his hand and ignored the devilish brat's pitiful eyes. The four-eyed Taoist priest was already angry. In addition, he knew that their master was a gambler and was not worth helping. Therefore, he did not help them out of kindness. He shook the Soul-sucking Bell and scattered paper money, leading the group of corpses on their way.
The devilish children frowned, not knowing what to do.
"In front is the memorial hall guarded by Third Granduncle.”
Similar to Yimei Residence (Ninth Uncle Dojo, the official name of the mortuary), this mortuary was also built on a remote street. Almost no one lived nearby. After all, the mortuary was a place where corpses were stopped. There were also corpse herders coming and going all year round. Most people would feel unlucky and would move out if they had the conditions.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shook the Soul-Assimilating Bell to stop the corpse-transporting team. He went forward and knocked on the door." Third Uncle, is Third Uncle here?" I'm Four-Eyed, open the door!"
Creak ~
After knocking on the door for a while, the door of the mortuary opened very quickly. A small head poked out from inside. Her small face was painted with colorful rouge and powder. At first glance, she looked like an actor who had put on makeup on the stage of a drama. Taoist Master Four-Eyed was shocked. He pointed his bronze sword and shouted,"What monster? Quickly show yourself!"
Lu Chen, who was guarding the corpse team, raised his eyebrows and reacted quickly. He stretched out his hand and slapped the Body-strengthening Talisman on his body, instantly entering battle mode.
Guarding a mortuary was a dangerous job. Many mortuary houses were abandoned after being attacked by demons and ghosts, turning into the lair of evil.
Therefore, when you see a dilapidated mortuary, you must not barge in. There might be something dirty inside.
Uncle Four-Eye, I'm Tiantian…"
The little girl stood out from behind the door. She was about ten years old. She wiped the rouge on her face, making her makeup look even messier.
" Tiantian!?" Daoist Priest Four-Eyed looked at the little girl carefully and finally recognized her from her face shape. He heaved a sigh of relief and asked in puzzlement,""Why did you dress up like this? You scared Uncle."
"Hehe, I learned makeup from the sister next door.”
The little girl giggled and seemed very happy.
Tiantian?
Lu Chen suddenly understood. According to Taoist Priest Four-Eyed, besides Jin Tu Jin's grandfather, who was also his third uncle, there was also his granddaughter, Tian Tian. Jin Tu's son and daughter-in-law died in a battle with the demons ten years ago, leaving behind only one posthumous son, Tian Tian. From then on, the two of them depended on each other.
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed put away his bronze sword and asked in confusion,""Why are you alone? Where's Third Granduncle?"
Tiantian put her hands on her hips like a little adult and sighed.""Grandpa said that today is the middle of the lunar month and he shouldn't see dead people, so he hid in his room and didn't come out. Sigh, Grandpa is too superstitious.”
“……”
Lu Chen looked at the mischievous Tian Tian with a strange gaze. This little girl was really…too interesting.
"Third Uncle is still so superstitious!”Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shook his head." Let's not bother about him. Tiantian, we're going to rest at the mortuary for a day. Are we welcome here?"”
"I have to add more bowls and chopsticks and cook more. How troublesome ~"
Tiantian shook her head and sighed. She complained like a resentful woman, making Lu Chen not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this really a little girl? Could it be that she was wearing a loli's body and living with a mature sister's soul?
"Let me introduce you. This is my martial nephew, Lu Chen.”Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was already used to this. He introduced Lu Chen and Tiantian to each other." Lu Chen, this is Third Great Uncle's granddaughter, Tiantian.”
" Hello, Brother Lu Chen." Tiantian waved her hand and greeted him." Nice to meet you."”
"Hello, Tiantian."
Lu Chen reached out and rubbed Tiantian's little head. He smiled and said,""Nice to meet you too."
"Brother Lu Chen, men and women shouldn't touch each other.”
Tiantian unhappily took Lu Chen's hand away and spoke a great truth. Daoist Priest Four-Eyed smiled as if he was used to it. Tiantian had been so mature since she was young.
Lu Chen could not help but laugh." What you said makes sense, but I still want to pinch your face…" As he spoke, he reached out to pinch Tiantian's tender little face and touched her rouge.
Tiantian rubbed her face in disgust and muttered softly,""What bad luck. I met a strange uncle.”
Lu Chen's face darkened." It's my brother, and it's not strange."”
Why did this little girl have so many messy thoughts?
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed laughed when he heard that. It was rare to see Lu Chen being defeated. Moreover, he was rejected by a little girl. It was really happy.
" Brother Lu Chen, Uncle Four Eyes, please come in…"
After the introductions, Tiantian pushed open the door and asked Taoist Priest Four-Eyed to lead the corpse team in. Lu Chen looked at the layout of the mortuary and found that it was similar to One-Eyebrow Residence. In the middle was the ancestral hall, on the left was the morgue, and on the right was the residence.
"Grandfather, Martial Uncle Four-Eyed has brought an eccentric elder brother to visit.”
