Chapter 224

If she really likes these things so much, why is she still a maid in the mansion? We should find a mountain to put her up, so that she can go to seek immortals and ask for the way, and live a life of eating wind and drinking dew. How nice it would be.

If you want to be vulgar, be completely vulgar.

If you want to practice, you must be proficient in practicing.

It’s not that Eunuch Zhang looks down on the child, but this child is really not a smart person who can have everything and understand everything.

Hitting here and there will only put yourself in danger that has nothing to do with her. Why bother?

It's good to learn more skills, but you also have to know what to learn.

"Do you still want to go to the government office to ask for a job?"

It doesn't seem impossible, but has her illness been cured?

Zhang Fengci didn't finish his words, just looked at her.

The child really didn't think about it. She just felt that this matter was related to her and she should do something.

And... there's also a bit of secret excitement and excitement. I always feel like I'm doing something great, solving cases and arresting murderers, and restoring order to the world. It sounds like a story.

It was just like the last time I delivered bones. It wasn’t an easy job, and I encountered some unpleasant things, but the feeling in my heart was very different.

The ghosts called her their benefactor, and their families were heartbroken and grateful to her, as if she had done a great deed and was a rare heroine, bodhisattva, or good person in the world.

The child didn't seem to care much and even found the crying of those people unbearable, but she was still quite proud in her heart.

When those who also wanted to find the bones came to her, she... even had a feeling that she wanted to agree immediately and do something.

But she couldn't agree and couldn't do anything.

All I could do was write a letter and forget about it.

very weak.

When An Xi asked her for help, she could have refused or done it perfunctorily, but she did it very seriously because of the feeling in her heart.

She felt that doing this would satisfy her.

Running errands, farming, picking vegetables and making fire day after day could not make her feel satisfied.

Maybe she's a good person?

The child was too embarrassed to speak up and just shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

She didn't think about going to the yamen.

I don't think the government will accept her.

Zhang Fengci: "Then forget about it. We have our own government to deal with ghost hunting. We don't need you. Go get to work."

Just do it, there is nothing else to do. It's so late, I can't find it even if I want to.

But the next day, the child couldn't help asking, and paid special attention when running errands, hoping to run into Xu Cong by chance.

But how could it be such a coincidence?

An Xi and his men almost turned Suicheng upside down, but they couldn't find him, let alone the child.

He seemed to be really gone.

Shen Xue said that Daming was also missing, perhaps he had already been reincarnated.

The child knew that this was a better explanation. In fact, Daming’s obsession might have been completely resolved.

What a coincidence, neither of the brothers could be found.

Then who knows how Xu Cong died?

After finishing his shift, the child ran to the yamen as if possessed by a ghost, and hesitated outside, not knowing whether to go in.

The gatekeeper saw her and called out to her from afar, saying, "Captain An isn't here. I went to Mr. Zhang's house for a routine inquiry. If you need anything urgent, you can go there. If not, you can wait, or I can tell you."

The child thanked him for his kindness, looked at the sun, hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and ran towards Mr. Zhang's house.

She was so curious, but when she got there she was too embarrassed to go in, so she squatted in an inconspicuous place and waited for An Xi to come out.

White cloth had been hung at Mr. Zhang's house and the funeral was underway. Although they had not been there for long, many people came to pay their respects. Judging from their attire, they were all either wealthy or noble.

Everyone had a sigh on their face.

The housekeeper and Mr. Zhang's second daughter, Xiaomei, were outside welcoming and seeing off guests, and they also looked very sad.

It's not a good idea to ask questions on a day like this, right?

And...they returned the body without even finding the murderer?

The child wondered and became more and more curious about how Sister Xi wanted to check.

Should we wait until the burial to see if Xu Cong’s ghost will appear?

The child couldn't wait any longer, so he looked down at his clothes and saw nothing wrong with the white and blue combination, so he took off the small silk flower on his head.

After searching for a long time, he only found five cents.

His eyes fell on the cloth shop not far away.

He spent two cents to buy a piece of white scrap cloth, wrapped the remaining cloth in three layers, and used it as a funeral rite.

Then the child put on a sad face and went up to Xiaomei. Without saying anything, he stuffed the cloth bag into Xiaomei's hand and said, "My condolences."

Zhang Xiaomei: ...

"It's you. We only met once, but you're so thoughtful, sending me bones and offering condolences. I heard you were the one who discovered my brother-in-law. Thank you so much."

Zhang Xiaomei said thank you, but her expression seemed unhappy and she pouted. But in the blink of an eye, sadness was left on her face. The child thought he might have seen it wrong.

He shook his head and said, "You're welcome."

"Please come in quickly. There are so many people here today, I'm afraid I can't provide adequate hospitality. Please bear with me."

She politely called a maid to take her in and find a seat.

Although she is about the same age, she behaves like an adult.

The child really admires her.

She obediently followed the maid in, but she did not take her to the mourning hall to burn incense. She just found a place for her.

She was in a remote corner, and you could tell at a glance that they didn't take her seriously.

The maid also specifically reminded her that it would take some time before the food was served, and if she was hungry, she could eat some fruits and snacks first. She also told her not to run around, as there were many distinguished guests today, so she didn't want to offend them...

This clearly treats her as an ignorant child.

and!

It’s not that the child thinks highly of herself. She thinks that even if she is not a distinguished guest in Mr. Zhang’s house, she shouldn’t be pushed into a corner, right?

After all, she had helped Xu Cong before. Last time he came, he asked her and Aunt Yu to stay for tea. They seemed very grateful and even gave them gifts as a thank-you. But this time, it seemed as if she shouldn't have come. They say that when people leave, the tea gets cold, but this time it got cold too quickly.

Or is it that this family is not actually good people?

"I'm not here to eat for free, nor am I here to play. Why are you telling me all this?" The eldest child said unhappily, standing up and saying, "Where is Captain An? I'm here to look for her."

Seeing her like this, the maid felt a little guilty and rolled her eyes at the people around her: "You are being suspicious, my guest. I don't mean any other harm. Captain An is currently talking to the master, his wife, and the eldest daughter. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for him to see you."

"Then go tell her, I'll wait for her outside." After the child said this, he turned around and walked away with big strides without caring about the maid's reaction.

Anyone who sees his back can see that he is angry.

How can I not be angry? It's just a waste of five cents.

The ghost of a child appeared behind Zhang Xiaomei, raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Give me back my money."

Zhang Xiaomei: ...

Can this be taken back?
