Chapter 355: Ugly Dressing Cabinet
"Thank you, Taoist Yan Qing."
After An Yuan and Yan Qing expressed their thanks, they and Zhu Yaqi walked up to Yang Fan.
"Master Yang." Two ghosts called Yang Fan one in front and one behind.
Yang Fan raised his head when he heard the voices and saw them standing in front of him. He hummed softly, "What's the matter?"
An Yuan scratched his head nervously, "I want to help you work to pay off your debt."
Wen Xiuyue agreed to bring their families to see them, and to burn food for them every day. They would have to work to pay off the debt for the meeting.
Although An Yuan hadn't seen his parents for many years and didn't know how they were doing now, he didn't want to let the two elders spend money to come and see him at their old age. One hundred thousand per visit was too expensive, so he wanted to work himself to pay for the meeting.
"Well, you can work with Zhu Yaqi later," Yang Fan retracted his gaze and continued to watch short videos on his phone, saying casually, "From now on, the cleaning of the homestay will be left to you two."
"Thank you!" An Yuan excitedly said thank you to Yang Fan several times.
Zhu Yaqi choked up and said, "Thank you!"
Thank you Yang Fan for helping to send the cake, thank you Yang Fan for allowing her to meet her daughter, thank you Yang Fan for helping to find her body, and helping them and those children out of suffering.
Yang Fan raised his eyes and took a look. An Yuan was still wearing the white shirt, and the red badge on his chest was even brighter red. Zhu Yaqi's red plaid shirt was cleaner than before.
In a trance, she seemed to see a young and passionate man swearing an oath to the red badge with great ambitions, but in the blink of an eye, his corpse was soaked in a cold and smelly cesspool.
A gentle and beautiful woman danced in the dance studio, graceful yet powerful, but her beautiful body was shattered by violence again and again, and finally put into a sealed bag never to see the light of day.
The two pictures overlapped, and overwhelming pain unfolded before her. Yang Fan subconsciously closed her eyes, but quickly opened them again, with clarity in her eyes.
Just then Old Man Liu and his companions arrived. Yang Fan stood up without saying a word and took them to the next room. The two ghosts, Zhu Yaqi and An Yuan, quickly followed.
It was not until they left the yard that Liang Zishu reluctantly took his eyes off An Yuan.
"Brother Xiao, let's go...!!" Liang Zishu turned his head and was frightened by Jian Xiangdi's direct gaze, "Brother Xiao, why are you looking at me like that?!"
It's so scary.
Jian Xiangdi: "I'm waiting to see when you'll remember to go to work."
"I...I just remembered it now."
Liang Zishu looked at the ghosts waiting to work with them and smiled awkwardly, "Let's go to work now."
As usual, Liang Zishu, Jian Xiangdi and Yan Qing said something and took the ghosts to work in the fields.
"You were staring at that ghost for so long just now, was that your friend?"
"No, it's just that he looks like my type."
"Hey, remember to let me get the package for him later. I need to see what his name is."
"I'll also help you find out his name if I take it."
"Thank you, kid brother, you are so nice!"
The sound of their voices was getting farther and farther away, and Yan Qing unconsciously sped up the pace at which he wrote the Heart Purification Mantra.
……
Thanks to the hard work of Old Man Liu and his gang, the B&B has been almost completely renovated.
Yang Fan asked Zhu Yaqi to take An Yuan to do the cleaning work, and then followed Old Man Liu to visit the homestay.
The small supermarket and staff dormitory on the first floor have been renovated, and the guest rooms upstairs are almost finished. It will be completed in a few days.
"Stationmaster, come and see this," Old Man Liu took Yang Fan to the staff room on the first floor and quietly showed Yang Fan the scene inside.
Inside is a middle-aged male ghost who is making a dressing cabinet. The cabinet itself has already been made, and now he is slowly carving a relief of a bed panel on the wardrobe bit by bit.
He was so focused that he didn't notice that someone outside was secretly watching them.
"I don't remember assigning you to do this." Yang Fan raised his chin, "Did you assign it to him?"
Old man Liu looked bitter, "It's not me who arranged it. He came here every night to make the cabinets."
The male ghost working inside is called Tian Laoer. He has been dead for decades. He was a carpenter when he was alive. He and Old Man Liu were part of a small team. He had good skills and worked very efficiently.
But I have a flaw: I love making dressing cabinets, and I make the same dressing cabinet every time.
And they do it at all times, just like now, he is secretly making the dressing table here by himself, and only starts to work with them formally after he has finished it for a while.
It's just like when you encounter an NPC in a game, a mission is triggered.
In the underworld, because of this problem, their team would always have their employer deduct money from them. It was because they used the wood from their employer's house, and the workmanship was not very good.
Rather than letting Yang Fan find out later and have the money deducted, it is better to tell him in advance and beg for mercy.
"Stationmaster, there's nothing wrong with Xiaotian. He just made this dressing cabinet, and the cabinets he made are sturdy and practical," Old Man Liu explained to her, "When the time comes, you can move this cabinet back and use it. It will definitely not be a problem to use it for decades."
Yang Fan looked at him without saying anything, waiting for his next words.
Old Liu scratched his head embarrassedly. "Could you please take a look at what's wrong with him?"
This problem is not a big deal to say the least, but if they commit this mistake regardless of the occasion, their employer will deduct their wages. It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, other ghosts in the team will have complaints.
The other ghosts all wanted to remove Tian Laoer from the team.
Old man Liu thought that he didn't have any relatives or friends in the underworld, and he had been dead for so long that no one burned anything for him.
Besides this habit of being a dressing table, he has no other faults, and he is warm and generous.
That's why I begged for mercy and asked the other person to stay.
As he was speaking, Tian Laoer inside suddenly stopped what he was doing. He squatted there without moving, his eyes dazed and confused, as if he was wondering why he was here.
After a while his eyes changed from confusion to clarity to panic, and then he hurriedly ran out of the room.
Because he was too nervous, he didn't notice Old Man Liu and Yang Fan standing by the door, and ran upstairs.
"...Webmaster, can you tell what's wrong with him?" asked Old Man Liu.
"He may be schizophrenic."
After saying that, Yang Fan walked in and took a closer look at the dressing table...emm, it's hard to put it into words.
Old Liu followed with some concern, "What is schizophrenia? Can it be cured?"
"You're just a psychopath," Yang Fan said with disgust on his face. "You still want to let me use this cabinet after it's been made like this?"
"Are you sure he's good at carpentry?"
"His carpentry skills are definitely good, but I don't know why this dressing table doesn't look good," Old Man Liu explained anxiously, "You'll see if you follow me up there. Everything else he makes is beautiful!"
“Although this dressing table is a little ugly, the quality is very good!”
Fearing that she would be angry, Old Man Liu shook and trampled the table hard to prove his words.
