" 'It's too real to not keep up.' "
"Zhou Yeye, who remained in place, looked at the spot where the ghost official had left and couldn't get back to reality for a long time."
Yesterday, when Zhou Yeye first met the ghost official, the feeling he gave Zhou Yeye was an indescribable emotion.
There is mystery and suspense.
Today, after getting close contact with the ghost official.
Zhou Yeye finally realized that, apart from the identity of Hell's official, ghost officials are actually not much different from ordinary people.
Just like everyone else, they play with their phones, they have their ups and downs, and they complain too.
Practically... they are just oxen and horses of Hell!
Ding!
While Zhou Yike was still lost in thought.
The phone's alert tone sounded.
[Your purchased train ticket has departed. If you need to cancel the ticket, please handle it on the mobile platform yourself.]
"Wow!"
Zhou Yei finally remembered the train ticket he had purchased before.
Because of the ghost, he had accidentally missed the train's departure time.
"That ghost should really die!"
If the ghost official could bring those two ghosts back at this time, Zhou Yei would definitely make them know how much resentment he has! Let's see who is the real ghost!
After standing in place and raging in impotence for a while, Zhou Yei looked up.
In the next second, without lights on the rural road, a voice filled with resentment rang out instantly across the entire night sky.
"Dang, what the hell is this for me!?"
...
2:30 AM.
Finally, Zhou Yei, who had been tortured, arrived at his grandmother's house.
With the help of his Yin Ling skill-induced energy, Zhou Yei walked on the rural road for nearly two hours, relying on a car ride to get here.
On the way, the new driver's expression of unspeakable things was even more distressing to Zhou Yei.
If it weren't for the ethereal nature of ghost and god tales, Zhou Yie would definitely vent his frustration with a good lecture.
The town where Zhou Yei's grandmother lives actually looks more like a village.
But it's just a little bigger in area, so it's planned as a town.
At night, only the street lamp next to the town government building is on, while the rest of the houses are pitch-black and quiet.
Deng deng deng!
In this quiet night, Zhou Yei's knock on the door sounded particularly piercing.
It was quite like being in a horror movie.
"Who... who is it? You weren't supposed to come again during the day! What do you think you're doing, coming here at night to bully an old lady like me!"
After waiting for a few minutes, Zhou Yei's grandmother's trembling voice rang out.
It seemed like the old woman was aggrieved.
"Grandma, it's me, Yike!"
Hearing the fear in her grandmother's voice, Zhou Yei spoke up immediately.
"Yike? Is it really you, Yike?"
Grandma's voice contained a trace of disbelief. Then she carefully opened the courtyard door and looked at Zhou Yei with great tension.
When the grandmother saw Zhou Yei's shadow with the moonlight, Zhou Yei could feel quite clearly that his grandmother let out a sigh of relief, a very big one.
"What's going on, Grandma?"
Zhou Yei wanted to ask for clarification, but his grandmother grabbed his arm and pulled him quickly into the courtyard.
Then the grandmother quickly closed the courtyard door, as if to guard against robbers.
"Why didn't you call first? Why did you run back this late at night?"
After Zhou Yei followed his grandmother back into the house, she looked at him with a reproachful expression.
However, Zhou Yei could sense that his grandmother was not angry, but rather worried about Zhou Yei's safety.
"Well, it's a long story, but in short, it's just something related to work that delayed me."
Zhou Yei thought for a moment and found a reason to brush it off.
The grandmother had also boiled hot water at this time and passed it over to Zhou Yei with a look of care.
"You must be cold, come on, have some hot water to warm yourself up."
"It's also because I, your grandmother, didn't explain clearly on the phone. You actually have enough time to come back tomorrow morning as well."
The grandmother, holding Zhou Yei's small hand, opened her mouth with self-reproach.
"It's okay, Grandma, it's all minor."
"Speaking of which, what happened to you, Grandma?"
Zhou Yei didn't want to waste time on such minor matters, she was now more concerned about her grandmother's tone earlier.
In Zhou Yie's memory, although her grandmother was a woman, she was also fearless in character.
In particular, Grandma pulled Zhou Yei up by herself.
The hardship and sweat she put in must have been much more than that of an ordinary family.
So, what kind of trouble did Grandma encounter?
Only then can such a sturdy old person feel afraid.
"Hmm, well, this is..."
Grandma looked at Zhou Yie's delicate little face, and paused before continuing.
"Well, Grandma, you called me back for this very reason. And Grandma, you can rest assured that I am much stronger than you imagine. Just tell me!"
Zhou Yei spoke with confidence.
After all, she had personally struck celestial soldiers and ghosts!
Since she isn't afraid of even celestial soldiers and ghosts, what can there be to trouble her!
"Alright, let me tell you about it then."
Looking at Zhou Yie's resolute eyes, Grandma sighed deeply before slowly explaining the reason for calling Zhou Yie back.
Zhou Yie then felt a chill.
She admitted that she had been boasting.
Because the problem Grandma encountered was something she really couldn't solve!
It's very annoying!
The situation was quite simple.
Apart from being Zhou Yie's grandmother, she is also the grandmother of others.
In addition to Zhou Yie, there are three other grandchildren and two granddaughters under Grandma's name.
This time, the accident happened to one of the grandsons.
It's the child of Zhou Yie's uncle, named Zhou Zhuo.
Zhou Zhuo is thirty-five years old, which is a whole round older than Zhou Yei.
Moreover, Zhou Zhuo has been married for a long time, and even his child is in primary school.
However, what surprised the Zhou family was that Zhou Zhuo's child was diagnosed with a congenital disease.
In order to treat his child's illness, Zhou Zhuo has been carrying around millions of yuan in debt over the years. Now, it all comes to a head.
"This is how things are. Although your uncle doesn't like you, they are still my children, and they are part of our old Zhou family bloodline."
"So I thought, maybe we should sell this old house, and it might help them in a pinch."
"However, this house is where we both live together. If we sell it, you should also have a share in it. That's why I called you back, Grandma, to hear what you think."
The money issue is definitely not something that Zhou Yei can solve on the spot.
She has only just started her role as an ox and horse, and she doesn't even have 10,000 yuan in hand.
After hearing what Grandma said, Zhou Yei still had some doubts that needed clarifying.
If it was just a matter of selling the house, what was Grandma afraid of?
And what did Grandma mean by her earlier instruction to "come back during the day"?
