When Lu Wenqing found Wei Xi, Wei Xi was standing with his hands on his hips directing the family members to work.
The lawn in the Wei family’s yard had been dug up and there was mud everywhere. A muddy Husky was helping to dig the ground like a treasure.
Wei Tianyi, wearing sunglasses, stood on the threshold of his house, fuming: “You bast**d! You’ve ruined the lawn! Stop it now!!!”
Wei Xi turned a deaf ear to him and said: “Dig this pit deeper and plant some trees there.”
He then called the beautiful woman next to him who was dressed elegantly to look at it together: “Look carefully, this is Emperor Xiu’s nest pit. When you take care of it in the future, remember to water it adequately.”
The beautiful woman blinked, her head full of greetings.
Lu Wenqing stood at the gate dumbfounded. A young man who was cleaning the sign with a small bucket glanced at him and said gloomily, “Who are you looking for?”
Lu Wenqing pointed at Wei Xi.
The young man immediately looked strange, and after a while he pursed his lips and shouted to Wei Xi in the yard: “Brother, someone is looking for you.”
Lu Wenqing glanced at him again in surprise. Was this the youngest son of the Wei family who was rumored to be smart, wise, brilliant, and resembled his father and was highly valued?
Very useful…
He looked at the rag in the other’s hand.
Wei Chengshu looked at him gloomily.
Wei Xi was stunned when he saw Lu Wenqing, then walked over and asked, “Why is it you?”
When Lu Wenqing saw him, he immediately forgot all his questions and was so moved that he almost cried: “Brother, help me, please help me!”
It was said that Ruan Shixing went to a haunted house with his friends and fell seriously ill after returning. When Lu Wenqing first heard the news, he thought it was just a typhoid cold, but then he learned the truth of the matter.
It was said that all the friends waiting outside the door noticed something was wrong and rushed back together and dragged the possessed Ruan Shixing out alive. Before being dragged out, he was still walking towards the depths of the haunted house with a dazed look on his face.
The Ruan family had a good family background and did not believe in these things. Ruan Shixing was unwilling to find the monsters he had dissed before because of his face. He counted the social circles around him and only Lu Wenqing seemed to know something, so he came to him and wanted to ask Lu Wenqing for help to think of a solution.
As Lu Wenqing was his childhood friend, of course he couldn’t just ignore his life or death, but when he heard the inside story, he was immediately horrified. This was not an ordinary feng shui problem, it was clearly a ghost!
He was more afraid of seeing ghosts than Ruan Shixing!
It just so happened that at this time, his cousin Li Rui, who usually took him to do business, was not in Beijing because he had accepted an order in the northwest. He was isolated and helpless, and after thinking about it, he could only think of Wei Xi. After all, although Wei Xi had been in this business for a short time, his strength was not weak. When he was in Fengyang, he was brave enough to help Mr. Shuo Zong to exorcise ghosts.
When Wei Xi heard about the business, he immediately became interested. It had been a while since his sect opened, but apart from Uncle Zhao’s business, he hadn’t encountered any new customers. Without business, there was no income. The Wei family was stingy when buying vegetables on weekdays, and those people didn’t invite him to dinner again last time. After the State Guest House, he had never had a satisfying meal again.
But how did he come back that day? He only remembered that when he woke up, his mouth was full of the sweet fragrance of Yang Qi, but the people of the Wei family seemed to have suffered some great injustice. Wei Tianyi cursed him for several days in a row.
Wei Xi stopped thinking about it when he couldn’t remember it, and asked, “Give me money?”
Lu Wenqing was ashamed: “Give it, give it, of course I will.”
Wei Xi nodded immediately and told Butler Zhou and Mike to continue digging the ground according to the previous instructions, and left with Lu Wenqing, taking Tuan Tuanyi with him.
“The place is in the suburbs and my license plate is restricted. Let’s take a taxi.” Lu Wenqing used his mobile phone to call an online taxi. Wei Xi sat in the car and played games without any hesitation. While Tuan Tuanyi looked up a guide for him. The two of them listened quietly to Lu Wenqing’s narration of the whole process.
“….That’s what happened. Ruan Shixing has been sick ever since and couldn’t sleep well at night. I gave him a talisman and he became more alert. He is probably waiting for us in the suburbs with his friends now.”
As Lu Wenqing was talking, he didn’t know if it was because he had ghosts on his mind, but he felt that the car was cooler than ever before. He rubbed his arms and asked the driver in a suit and tie, “Master, how high is the air conditioner in your car?”
The driver didn’t answer. He looked ahead and smiled, looking very interested. “Handsome guy, was what you just said true? Did your friend really run into a ghost?”
Wei Xi stared at the game and took the time to glance at him, then met the same gaze from the rearview mirror and lowered his head expressionlessly.
Lu Wenqing thought the driver’s attitude looked strange, but he still replied: “It’s true. If you encounter customers who want to go to the haunted house in the suburbs in the future, you should help persuade them. But I don’t know if that store can still be opened. The Ruan family forced it to close for rectification the next day after the incident.”
The driver uttered a long “oh” with his eyes still smiling: “Are you young people afraid of ghosts too?”
“Who isn’t afraid of ghosts?” Lu Wenqing answered inexplicably. He looked outside the car and was immediately stunned. “Isn’t this the road to the southern suburbs? Where are you going, Master? Are you taking a detour for us?”
It was getting dark outside. The scenery outside the car had changed from towering buildings to quiet tree shadows. It looked particularly ominous under the cover of street lights and weak skylight. When the driver heard this, he chuckled: “Why would I take a detour? Of course I’m taking you to where you should go!”
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head and smiled in a particularly eerie and terrifying manner.
Lu Wenqing stared at his face in a daze, and suddenly realized what was wrong that he had felt since he got on the bus. The curvature of the driver’s smile did not change at all from beginning to end, and his whole face was as stiff as if it was molded by someone.
He had been full of negative energy since he was a child and had encountered countless strange things. He immediately realized that he had hit a ghost car, and his scalp exploded. He reached into his pocket and remembered that he had given his amulet to Ruan Shixing not long ago.
Lu Wenqing’s eyes widened in despair: “Ahhhhhhh! Ghost!!”
Tuan Tuanyi: “What??!”
The driver laughed, seeming to be very pleased with himself for scaring them. The temperature around them became lower and lower, and they were completely enveloped in an indescribable terror. Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from the back seat: “Plane!”
“Don’t want!”
Hualalalalalalalala [sound effect of an airplane passing by]
Driver:”….”
He turned his head silently, staring at the curly-haired young man playing with his phone in the back seat with a smile, and at the same time saw the happy Landlord game still running on the other’s phone interface. A trace of anger flashed across his eyes, and his head suddenly seemed to be installed with a spring, and it suddenly popped out from his neck and rushed straight to the back seat!
Tuan Tuanyi: “Ahhhh there really is a ghost!!”
Lu Wenqing: “Ahhhhhhh this is so scary!!”
Wei Xi raised his head and looked expressionlessly at the stiff ghost head rushing towards him.
In less than five minutes, the car turned around and started heading back the way it came, merging into the busy elevated road.
The driver in the driver’s seat covered his face with a smile: “Woo woo woo woo woo–“
His face was covered in blood from crying. Wei Xi had already switched seats with Lu Wenqing and was sitting in the passenger seat, staring at him quietly, staring at him until his whole body was numb: “Brother, you, you don’t have to look at me anymore…”
He sobbed, “I just wanted to scare you. I didn’t do anything bad. Why are you doing this? Give my arm back to me. How can I hold the steering wheel with one hand? Wuuuuuuuu…”
Wei Xi examined him for a long time, and finally had to return the arm to him with regret. This ghost had indeed never killed anyone and was the kind that Wei Dedao had repeatedly forbidden him to eat.
The ghost driver took back the arm and hurriedly put it on himself. The ghost huddled up in a ball with a wronged look on his face: “I am so unlucky. I finally had a day off to have some fun…”
Lu Wenqing sat in the back seat in a daze, still immersed in the scene of Wei Xi grabbing the man’s neck, jumping up and beating him violently, and then pulling off the man’s arm and swinging it. In the past five minutes, he had experienced the most incredible shock since he could remember. Now there was only one sentence circling in his mind – it turns out that catching ghosts cannot only be done by using talismans and peach wood swords, but also like this?!
Tuan Tuanyi didn’t know much about this business after all, and the tragic situation of Fengyang Fairy before also made him lack some awe for ghosts. So when he saw his master defeat the other party, he soon lost his fear and chatted with the crying ghost driver with a curious look on his face: “You guys are also on the National Day holiday, isn’t it over already?”
The ghost driver shook his arms and found that the Yin Qi seemed to be less, but he didn’t dare to care. He looked at Wei Xi with frustration and replied unhappily: “Who has a long holiday on National Day? We have the Cold Clothes Festival. With Halloween and the Cold Clothes Festival, we can have more than 20 days off in a row!”
“Ah…” Tuan Tuanyi was a little confused, “You guys celebrate Halloween too?”
The driver was very annoyed: “Nonsense!”
When Wei Xi saw that he was being mean to his apprentice, he raised his hand and slapped him.
Lu Wenqing stared at him with eyes wide open in admiration—Wow!
“Woo…” The driver covered his head and started crying again, tears streaming down his eyes. “You guys, don’t you guys go out to buy things during Christmas? I just come out to drive and make a living!”
Tuan Tuanyi saw that he was beaten because of him, and smiled sheepishly: “I see, it’s not easy for you guys. Sorry, I’ve heard of the legend of ghost cars before, but they were all ghost buses and ghost taxis. This is the first time I’ve seen one in person, so I couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.”
The driver sniffed, feeling a little better because of his apology. He couldn’t help but sigh and confide, “Nowadays, the review of buses and taxis is so strict, how can we drive? Only this platform gives us a little chance to survive, so I stole an ID card and registered.”
“Oh, right.” He suddenly remembered something but didn’t dare to tell Wei Xi. He turned to look at Tuan Tuanyi, who was the easiest to talk to. “I really didn’t mean to hurt you just now. I was just joking. It’s Halloween, right? We’ll be there soon. I don’t want your car fare. Can you give me a five-star review?”
Tuanyi: “…”
Lu Wenqing: “…”
The driver cried again, “If the star rating is lowered, the subsidy will be reduced. Please do me a favor.”
