Chapter 122 The truth
"I have been thinking about a question. After Zhou Xiaohui died and went to the underworld, how long did he stay there until he was arranged to be reincarnated and then ran back to the world of the living?"
"what"
Hearing this question, Zhao Li, who was sitting next to him, was a little confused. Seeing this, Xiao Ya continued.
"The underworld and the human world are not in the same dimension, and their time flows at different speeds. He kept saying that his friend got rich just after he died, but in fact, a long time passed in between."
"what?"
After listening to Xiaoya's words, Zhao Li became even more confused. This was different from his previous guess. In response, Xiaoya smiled at Zhao Li and said softly.
"You're slapped in the face, right?"
"I have a bug?"
Seeing Zhao Li's confused look, not only Xiao Ya was laughing, Lin Zheng and the others were also very happy, as they felt that Zhao Li had been going in and out of the underworld so often that he had never thought about this problem.
But this is not entirely Zhao Li's fault. In fact, there is indeed a difference in the speed of time flow between the underworld and the human world, but the difference is not that big. The real reason lies in the ghosts themselves.
After all, ordinary ghosts have a period of confusion from the time they die to the time they enter the underworld and are finally arranged to be reincarnated. At this time, they basically have little perception of the passage of time.
That's why people like Zhou Xiaohui happen to think they just passed away, but in fact a long time has passed.
"Five years"
Dong Qing was surprised when he got the answer from Zhou Xiaohui's friend. He didn't expect that Zhou Xiaohui had been dead for five years.
"Yes, five years. Xiaohui has been dead for five years. In these five years, I have never forgotten him for a single day. My brothers from that time have also not forgotten him. They will all be here today."
"today!"
Dong Qing was very surprised when he heard this, and then he understood the truth of the matter from Zhou Xiaohui's friend.
Today is Zhou Xiaohui's death anniversary, so he and his friends will come to his house to pay tribute to Zhou Xiaohui. Five years ago, when they were asking for wages, Zhou Xiaohui did accidentally fall from the roof.
The boss paid 300,000 yuan as compensation for Zhou Xiaohui's life, but Zhou Xiaohui's wife gave the money to him after receiving it.
The reason why she gave the money to him was because Zhou Xiaohui's wife didn't want migrant workers to be bullied, nor did she want her husband's experience to happen to other people.
This is because I have been caught in the rain, so I also want to hold an umbrella for others.
During these five years, they went from being migrant workers to contractors, but the boss to whom they owed money went bankrupt. This is how unpredictable things are.
In fact, that account book only recorded the debts owed to all the workers that year. The other party took it back just to repay the principal and interest owed to all the workers.
After saying all this, the interview bell rang and Zhou Xiaohui's wife came back. After his wife came back, the other workers also arrived one by one.
Finally, Zhou Xiaohui felt relieved at the party where all his friends were laughing and chatting in his memory. Seeing that his wife, children and friends were all living so well, he was also satisfied.
In the end, Zhou Xiaohui was sent back by Zhao Li, but on the way to send Zhou Xiaohui back, Zhao Li also completed the transaction between him and Murong and received ten ghost pills from Murong.
Zhao Li used 70 years of his life to buy 10 ghost pills, and he would have to continue paying for his life span. It was unclear whether he made a profit or a loss in this deal.
Zhou Xiaohui sent him back, and Murong's matter was also settled. On the way back, Zhao Li ate the ghost pill refined by Murong. The effect was indeed good and the medicinal power was abundant, but Zhao Li felt that ten pills were not enough.
Nothing in the night
The next afternoon, Lin Zheng was dragged out by Amber. They came to a coffee shop, ordered two cups of coffee and found a seat to sit down. Lin Zheng asked while supporting his chin and stirring the coffee in front of him.
"Amber, why did you bring me here?"
"Of course I brought you out to make money. Someone sent me a private message on Weibo, asking me to help him catch ghosts."
After hearing what Amber said, Lin Zheng paused for a moment while shaking Coffee's hand. Lin Zheng didn't expect that this would happen again after Amber returned from emerald to amber.
"Amber, that's not a big deal. It's not like I can't support you, so why would I ask you to come out and earn money?"
When they reach Lin Zheng's level, worldly money is actually meaningless to them. They can have a lot of it at any time as long as they want.
"You know what, making money is fun"
Amber rolled her eyes at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that there was not much money to be made from this job.
Lin Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, while Amber was reading her novel beside him.
"Lihun, tsk tsk"
Lin Zheng looked at the title of the book and smiled. Amber and jade have exactly the same hobbies. It can only be said that jade is worthy of being the original body of amber, and what the clone likes is actually a reflection of the original body.
"But Amber, are there only two of us on this job?"
"Aren't the two of us enough?"
Amber was reading the book in her hand while turning her head to look at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng smiled and whispered a few words into Amber's ear. Amber's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.
"Okay, okay, I'll call Dongqing over right now."
"Don't forget to tell Holly to keep it a secret."
"understood"
Amber immediately called Dongqing and told him what happened. Dongqing rushed over from the store, and of course he also reported it to Xiaoya.
He reported it, but he didn't tell the truth at Amber's request. However, Dongqing was not a good liar. Xiaoya knew he was lying as soon as he heard it.
While waiting for Dongqing to come over, Amber put down the book, took out a laptop and started typing on it. Lin Zheng took the time to glance at her and curled his lips.
"If Li Ge knew that you paired him with Dong Qing, he would probably be so depressed that he would vomit blood, you rotten girl."
"What's wrong with me being a fujoshi? What's wrong with me being a fujoshi? I've been waiting for you for so many years, but you still don't allow me to have other hobbies. I just want to write some articles, but this era is really good. You can find people with the same interests in everything."
Seeing Amber answering without even turning her head, Lin Zheng didn't dare to say anything more. He could only watch Amber finish typing the words contentedly and finish writing the Li Qing version of A Chinese Ghost Story.
"Look at what I wrote."
Amber gave the finished work to Lin Zheng to take credit for it. Lin Zheng took a look at it and forced a smile.
"It's well written, but I still want to hype up Yaqing's CP"
“Asian Youth is also good”
"Aren't you the one who fried Li Qing?"
"Who said that only one pair can be hyped up? I like both pairs."
"Why not? It's up to you if you like."
"Humph"
Just as Lin Zheng and Amber were chatting, Dongqing came in late from outside.
"Lin Zheng, Amber, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing Dongqing sitting in front of them, Lin Zheng and Amber looked at each other, then gave Dongqing a mysterious smile.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
