Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The porridge in the pot has just been cooked, and it will take a while to cook.
Xu Zhaoxi went downstairs to wake up completely, and didn't want to sleep anymore, so Pei Ji asked him to go back to sleep and he just shook his head: "I don't want to sleep anymore."
Then he went upstairs to wash up, and happily changed into the new clothes his brother bought for him.
In the past three years, Xu Chaoxi has grown a lot taller, exceeding 1.8 meters in height. Unexpectedly, the clothes his brother bought for him still fit so well, as if he had measured them with his own hands.
Um?Could it be when he fell asleep...
Thinking about it, her little face turned red.Xu Zhaoxi came down with a hot face, Pei Ji was busy in the kitchen and didn't see it, only the voice came out: "I bought you a mobile phone on the table."
The phone is pure black, the same model as Pei Ji's, with a golden flame-like logo on the back.
Xu Zhaoxi tried it out for a while, and found that the functions and applications were the same as those of the mobile phones he had used before, so he searched for the brand of the mobile phone.
"Nether Technology" - a brand that is famous in the underworld but has never been heard of in the yang world.
He knew it in his mind, and searched the underworld, and the introduction that came out was an eye-opener for Xu Zhaoxi.
The introduction reads like this:
"The underworld, the full name of the underworld, existed after Pangu opened up the world. Houtu, one of the twelve ancestor witches in the prehistoric period, joined the underworld and became the six reincarnations, thus laying the foundation for the future development of the underworld.
Since the prehistoric period, it has been the only working organization in the underworld to accept the souls of all beings and judge merits and demerits...
The current ruler of Yincao Difu is Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin. "
There was an introduction from Emperor Fengdu at the back, before Xu Zhaoxi could read it, Pei Ji came out with a bowl in his hand: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Zhaoxi put away her mobile phone and came forward to help, first explaining: "I checked some information about the underworld." Then shared his impressions: "It turns out that the underworld has such a long history."
Pei Ji was not surprised that he would check these things when he got his mobile phone, and he was sure that Xu Zhaoxi would also check on Emperor Dongyue and Emperor Fengdu when he had time...
Pei Ji did not stop this, and said inexplicably: "Most of history is a struggle for the ownership of the six reincarnations."
Xu Zhaoxi: "Huh?"
The porridge was white porridge, and Pei Ji casually fried two small dishes as the next meal. The bowls and chopsticks were set, and the two ghosts sat down opposite each other at the dining table in the living room.
To Xu Zhaoxi's question, the male ghost didn't answer directly, but said with a smile, "If you're curious, you can buy some books and read it yourself."
Xu Zhaoxi puffed her cheeks: "My brother tricked me into reading again."
Xu Zhaoxi didn't like reading when she was a child, but Pei Ji liked it. Every time she was hugged for a nap, Pei Ji would always flip through the books in her hand. Later, Xu Zhaoxi became curious about those books.
Then, he also fell in love with reading a little bit...
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoxi suddenly remembered: "I remember that my brother has been very interested in the records related to the underworld and the underworld since he was a child."
Most of the books in my hand are related to these, even after graduation I have not given up on this hobby.
It turned out that they really came to the underworld after they died, and my brother was still working in the underworld.
This is too coincidental.
"Well, it's a coincidence." Pei Ji said the same, his face was so handsome that there was no trace of blemish, and his expression was as usual.Pei Ji didn't lie in this sentence, he really didn't know his identity at that time.
He has very little expression, but it doesn't make the ghost feel cold. Even the life-like gesture of holding up to eat has an indescribable elegance.
He said to Xu Chaoxi: "You can take a day off today, and I will accompany you to the town to apply for a mobile phone card later. You like reading, so buy some more books."
I don't like reading books, this is called Ai Ge Ji Shu!Xu Zhaoxi retorted stubbornly in his heart.
He looked hesitant, drank the porridge slowly, raised his head after a while and asked, "Are we settling down here? Where you used to live..."
Pei Ji could see Xu Zhaoxi's unfinished words and the indistinct grievance in his eyes at a glance, as if his eyes would turn red and cry if he said a wrong word.
He paused slightly, his lacquer-like eyes were warm and shining, and said: "I have been renting a house before, and I have already quit the rent due to work." Because he has not explained his other identity, he can only hide some things for the time being.
Xu Zhaoxi: "Have you been transferred to Ferry City?" He remembered the place where he first met Pei Ji in the underworld.
Pei Ji: "Currently."
It's too far to work in Ferry City, where does my brother have extra time to go home every night?Xu Zhaoxi thought about whether to live somewhere closer.
He told Pei Ji what he was thinking about, and Pei Ji said that he didn't need it, because there are benefits to working in the underworld - some basic cultivation methods, such as shrinking the ground to an inch.
Shrinking the ground to an inch is a bit similar to teleportation, the distance of the transfer depends on a ghost's cultivation.
Pei Ji: "Want to learn, I can teach you."
Xu Chaoxi asked: "There is no confidentiality regulation?"
Pei Ji: "No." For him, no.
Xu Zhaoxi, who didn't know these things, nodded. He was indeed not that attached to cultivation, but he also wanted to satisfy his curiosity.Then he heard a string of languages he hadn't heard before.
Xu Zhaoxi: "???"
His bewildered look made Pei Ji laugh, and the male ghost raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "This is a formula."
"Hmm..." It's confirmed, he is also a scumbag after becoming a ghost, and he strongly suspects that the reason for not keeping it secret is because the underworld is sure that ordinary ghosts can't learn it!Xu Zhaoxi said seriously: "I'd better practice as I see fit."
Chatting while eating breakfast, the time to talk was the bottom of a bowl of porridge, Pei Ji put down his chopsticks at the same time.Xu Zhaoxi got up and was about to clean up with her brother——
"Xu Xiaonian! The vegetables you planted are sprouting!"
Xu Zhaoxi immediately put down the things in his hands and ran out, and asked excitedly: "Really?!"
Yue Bai stood outside the low courtyard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of energy, and saw Xu Zhaoxi waving wildly: "Of course it's true, and only the 3 plots you planted have sprouted, come out!"
Xu Zhaoxi turned around hesitantly, and Pei Ji's lips curved slightly in the room and nodded slightly: "Go."
He ran out like a child who was approached by a friend to play and then got the approval of his parents.
Xu Zhaoxi and Yuebai's chattering conversation soon sounded outside the room.
Still like a child who hasn't grown up, Pei Ji laughed and shook his head.He lowered his eyes to glance at the mess on the table, then waved his hand and used spells to clean it up.
The vegetables in the field have indeed germinated, and they are so green that they are only as high as a knuckle.What's even more amazing is that the seeds sowed by Yuebai and Xu Zhaoxi at the same time, but only the three plots that Xu Zhaoxi started to germinate.
The two ghosts looked around, but didn't understand the reason.
On the way back, Yue Bai sighed: "As expected of the blood of the Hua Kingdom with strong blood power, every vegetable can sprout before other ghosts."
Xu Zhaoxi raised the corners of her mouth to pretend to be modest: "It's a bit of a talent for farming~"
They didn't pursue the difference too much, they just regarded it as an accident, after chatting, Yue Bai talked about something else: "How are you and Brother Pei?"
Xu Chaoxi: "It's good~ My brother has been transferred to Ferry City to work, so he doesn't need to move. By the way, there are also your parents, grandparents, and my brother said that he can ask his colleagues for help."
"Thank you Brother Pei," Yue Bai folded his hands together in a reverent gesture, walked into the yard and saw Pei Ji and thanked him again, "Did Xu Xiaonian tell me that I came to see you today to say hello? After all, Brother Pei, you just Come back, Xu Xiaonian is a man who forgets his friends when he sees sex again, I'm so self-conscious..."
He started talking to himself, and Pei Ji turned his gaze to Xu Zhaoxi.
Xu Zhaoxi looked at him and blinked innocently, he was too happy to forget.
Pei Ji was helpless, of course he would not refute, but when Yue Bai asked when there would be news about the ghost hunt, he said: "I will receive a reply in about two or three days."
He positioned "Pei Ji" as an ordinary employee of the underworld, and two or three days is a more appropriate time.
Yue Bai: "I'm just a little impatient, please trouble Brother Pei."
Afterwards, Xu Chaoxi and Pei Ji were going to the town and invited Yuebai to go with them.
Yue Bai refused: "I won't bother you if you live in the world of two ghosts."
"What do you want to eat? You're not looking for a job anymore?" Xu Zhaoxi interrupted him and asked sincerely, "I have an older brother to support me, do you have one?"
Yue Bai: "Speak as you speak, without attacking with a ghost body." With an aggrieved face, it's not my fault that I'm single.
"Don't swear." Pei Ji reminded.
"Okay brother~" Xu Zhaoxi should be obedient, then turned to Yuebai and said, "The bookstore I told you about yesterday, you go and ask them if they are hiring staff, it's okay if the salary is less..."
As he said that, he pulled Yue Bai aside, and told him in a low voice: "You don't need me to tell you if you go our separate ways when you get to the town? Also, my brother and I have already had breakfast, so you go to the town to settle it yourself."
Could it be my brother's fault that I only cooked two ghosts?Of course not.
Then he took out a large bill worth 50 and stuffed it into Yue Bai's pocket, which is commonly known as the hush fee for banknote power.
"Eat something good, we are not short of money~"
Yue Bai: "..." was clearly arranged.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Xu Zhaoxi didn't realize that he had a mobile phone when he arrived in the town, and Yue Bai also needed one, so he dragged Yue Bai to the mobile phone store together.
Hearing that Pei Ji wanted to buy him a mobile phone, Yue Bai's first reaction was to refuse in horror.It is only natural for Brother Pei to raise Xu Xiaonian, so what is he by the way?Supporting the daughter-in-law's natal family?
It wasn't until Xu Zhaoxi said that Yuebai would be deducted from the [-] coins owed to him before agreeing.
The two ghosts got their mobile phone cards, but they still couldn't separate when they got out of the mobile phone shop.Xu Zhaoxi was going to the bookstore to buy a few books, and Yue Bai was going to inquire about work. The two parties had the same goal.
Yuebai proud: It's not my fault~
Xu Chaoxi: Mistake.
The bookstore opened outside the only elementary school in the town, "Fugui Primary School".
On the way, Pei Ji took out his mobile phone to reply messages from time to time, Xu Zhaoxi held his other hand, hesitant to speak.Finally, when Pei Ji finished replying to the message again, he asked, "Is brother busy?"
I was afraid that he would say something that he had to leave first because he had something to do.
Pei Ji saw his worry in his eyes, and comforted him: "It's okay, I won't leave today."
Brother had never lied to him, Xu Zhaoxi believed it immediately.
The bookstore and Fugui Primary School are close in front of us. Today is a working day, and there are not many ghosts on the road.Looking at the closed primary school in the distance, he wondered, "How can there be a school in the underworld?"
Xu Zhaoxi had been wondering about this for a long time.After all, it is rare for several members of a family to die at the same time. It is difficult for those children to survive in the underworld. Where can they get the money to go to school?
Yue Bai was uncertain: "Native of the underworld?" That is, a child born in the underworld.
"Part of it is," Pei Ji looked up at the location of the school, retracted his eyes and said, "The birth rate of ghosts is very low, most of them are children who died young, some were adopted, and the rest were orphans. hospital."
Yue Bai: (o-`o) Can ghosts give birth to babies?ulterior motive?
Xu Zhaoxi: "Where does the money for their survival and education come from?"
Pei Ji: "The Underworld has special expenditures."
Because of her growth experience, Xu Zhaoxi is very close to the orphanage, and now she even has a good impression of the Jifu that supports the orphanage behind her, and sincerely praised: "The Jifu is really rich."
The male ghost beside him smiled at his words, and led him into the bookstore.
The author has something to say: Pei Ji: My wife praised me, I am happy
