Chapter 44: Tried to steal food but got burned twice
Over there, Yan Bin and a few others were still digesting the fact that they had seen a ghost and that their good brother had died and turned into a ghost.
Over here, the ghosts were too scared to look Yang Fan in the eye. They trembled as they handed the documents in their hands to Yang Fan, and said hesitantly, "Then... that stationmaster, let's... pick up... a courier."
"Have you heard of the rules for picking up couriers here?" Yang Fan leaned back in his chair and said casually.
Several ghosts looked at each other, helplessness revealed in each of their eyes. Of course, they had heard that this new stationmaster was cruel and unreasonable. Ghosts who came to pick up the express delivery had to work for her, otherwise they would be beaten to death by her.
Although several ghosts were dissatisfied, in order to get the express delivery and for the sake of their lives, they all nodded obediently and said, "I've heard of it."
It's good to know, so she doesn't have to draw talismans to threaten.
"Then go ahead," Yang Fan pointed to the mountain opposite, "Go to that mountain and clear the weeds in the orchard for me. Bring all the weeds here and put them in the yard behind."
Several ghosts responded reluctantly, "Okay."
One of the ghosts rolled his eyes and thought, she asked them to work, which gave them the opportunity to steal the spiritual fruit!
Those ghosts won’t come out if they don’t want to work, so all the fruits on the mountain can be eaten by them freely!
Thinking of this, an excited expression appeared on the ghost's face, but it quickly disappeared.
A few ghosts went to the opposite hill to remove weeds as she said. Yang Fan looked up at the direction they left, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.
There were two ghosts, Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu, on the mountain over there. When they saw them coming, they were both happy.
"Finally, help has arrived!" Liang Zishu counted, "One, two, three... six in total, not bad."
Jian Xiangdi said to them, "Hurry up and get to work. Today we can clear all the grass on this mountain and then go back."
One of the middle-aged male ghosts complained, "How long will it take to pull up all this grass?"
"It will be done soon. We only have the bottom ones left to finish." Liang Zishu pointed at the top ones and said, "We finished the top ones yesterday. We just need to finish the bottom ones today."
"Maybe there will be ghosts to help later."
Although they are not happy about it, they still join the weeding operation. A young male ghost taunts Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu.
"You are quite obedient. You do whatever you are told to do."
"If you are a coward, even if you are a ghost, you will be treated like a dog."
He tried to stir up the dissatisfaction of the two ghosts, Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu.
But the two ghosts didn't care about his words at all. They pretended not to hear him and just went about their own work.
What a joke, doing this job not only allows them to stroll around the world of the living every day, but even though it is just work, they can also eat spiritual fruits given by the boss.
Except for those powerful old ghosts, ordinary ghosts in the underworld can't have such a good life as them, so they just have to be happy.
The ghost talked for a long time, and seeing that the two of them were unmoved, and even their facial expressions did not change at all, he ran to the field below in anger and pulled the grass hard to vent his anger.
The other ghosts quietly followed Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zigui in their work, while the middle-aged male ghost secretly ran to another area. Looking at the spiritual lychees on the tree, the male ghost's face was full of greed.
All these fruits are his!
He stretched out his hand towards the fruit with excitement, picked one and put it into his mouth hastily, then - "Ah!"
A wailing sound that rose to the sky was heard from that piece of land, and a moment later another wailing of pain was heard from the land below Jian Zishu and the others.
The ghosts who were working with Jian Xiangdi and the others hurriedly stood up and looked to see what was happening to them.
"What's wrong with them?" one of the middle-aged female ghosts asked Liang Zishu.
There shouldn't be any traps in this place!
Liang Zishu was no longer surprised by this kind of situation. She pointed at the fruits on the tree and said, "They must have stolen the fruits from the stationmaster's house." Jian Xiangdi said, "There are talismans on the fruits. If you steal them, you will get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shone on the fruit tree, revealing the runes on it.
A few ghosts who worked honestly: ...Luckily they didn’t steal the fruits.
The ghost who had the idea of stealing the fruit while Jian Xiangdi and the others were not paying attention immediately dismissed this bold and dangerous idea from his mind.
The two ghosts were still wailing, which meant that they were seriously injured.
Don’t eat secretly! Your life is more important!
Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu see this kind of thing every day. Those ghosts who are dissatisfied with being forced to work by Yang Fan will steal the fruits and will be hurt by the talisman paper on the fruits.
The two ghosts below covered their mouths, fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and rolled over, spitting out the fruit they had just eaten.
A white figure flashed through the darkness, and the two fruits that fell to the ground disappeared in an instant.
The white figure quickly flew through the forest and finally ran into a cave.
The little white tiger spat two lychees on the ground, took a deep breath of the spiritual energy on the fruit as if intoxicated, and then swallowed the two lychees into his mouth in one gulp.
Hehe~ It’s nice that someone picks fruits for it every night.
After the two ghosts injured by the fruit recovered, they went to find Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu to argue, asking them why they didn't tell them about this.
They want to sue them!
Liang Zishu spread his hands indifferently, "Go ahead, go now."
"Who's faster, you complaining or our webmaster killing you?"
It's so funny. I still want to complain about them. Do you want to die again?
Jian Xiangdi added slowly, "The ghost from last night also said he was going to complain, but he was killed on the spot by our stationmaster."
Actually, no, he just wanted to scare them.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it now."
Try and die.
Whoever dares to risk his life, the two ghosts had no choice but to work with a big hole in their mouths that were burned.
If they get injured as ghosts, it won't be easy for them to recover.
If there is any damage to the body, either go back to the underworld and find a plastic surgery hospital to spend a lot of money to quickly repair it,
Or you have to rely on your own practice and improve your cultivation to repair yourself.
But to improve one's cultivation level, one either has to rely on eating spiritual fruits, or work hard in the underworld to increase one's cultivation level.
No matter which choice they made, it would be difficult for them, and the two ghosts felt extremely regretful.
If they had known that this woman would do such a ruthless thing, they should not have stolen the fruit. Now, they have to live in the underworld for a long time with such a big hole.
The young male ghost regretted so much that he was about to cry. He had finally made a date with the goddess and they were going to go on a date tomorrow. But now his mouth has become like this. The goddess will definitely think he is ugly!
woo woo woo...
Jian Xiangdi and Liang Zishu looked at each other, both of them gloating.
They rely on these ghosts to provide them with entertainment during their boring working hours every night.
