Fatty Dun was completely unaware, burning paper and muttering to himself. However, I had already sensed that the wandering spirits and wild ghosts were approaching, because a cold wind started blowing around us, and the ashes of the paper money Fatty Dun had just burned were being lifted into the air by the wind and whirling around.
Another gust of cold wind blew, and the ashes directly hit Fatty Dun's face. In an instant, Fatty Dun blushed and stomped on the ground where the ashes had landed.
"Damn, Duan Mu is bullying me, and you guys are coming to bully me too."
This burnt paper money cannot be stepped on at will. When Fatty Dun put his foot down, he didn't expect that right beside the pile of paper money he had stepped on, an old lady appeared, and her hand happened to be stepped on by Fatty Dun.
The old lady's face was covered in completely gray hair, and I couldn't see what her face looked like. I only heard a hoarse and elderly voice saying, "Young man, you've stepped on my hand."
Hearing the voice, Fatty Dun shuddered all over and was immediately stunned. He slowly turned his head and saw the old lady squatting beside him, then shouted loudly and ran towards me, "Duan Mu, there are ghosts here."
"Quiet." Seeing Fatty Dun running over, I glared at him fiercely. "Are you planning to wake up the whole town in the middle of the night?"
"But there really are ghosts over there." Fatty Dun looked terrified, covering his mouth, and said.
I didn't bother with him. Crossing past Fatty Dun, I suddenly looked towards the old lady, bowed and said, "Hello, ma'am, thank you for responding to the call of my Soulfishing Talisman."
Hearing my voice, the old lady's hand, which was in the ash, froze, and she suddenly turned her head, revealing her wrinkled, pale face. "Just now, it was you performing Soulfishing?"
I nodded. "Yes, ma'am."
"What's the matter?" the old lady asked hoarsely.
I looked up, gazing at the old lady's wrinkled, pale face and said, "I called you here, ma'am, to ask for help finding someone's soul. Ma'am, please take the money, and if it's not enough, I'll continue to burn. Please help."
"What kind of soul?" the old lady continued to ask.
"Mm." I quickly answered, "It's the departing soul of someone who's not dead yet. I believe you are very familiar with this area, and I hope you won't refuse, ma'am."
At this point, the old lady slowly stood up. Her back was very hunched, almost touching the ground. "When the Soulfishing Talisman is used, the wandering spirits and wild ghosts take the money and do business. I understand this reasoning. Young man, rest assured."
After speaking, another gust of cold wind blew, and the old lady disappeared.
I silently watched where the old lady had disappeared, couldn't help but sigh, then said to Fatty Dun, "I'm afraid there won't be any results tonight. Let's go back to the school and wait for news."
"What on earth is this?" Fatty Dun still looked puzzled, staring at where the old lady had disappeared.
I sighed helplessly, then handed a partially used Soulfishing Talisman to Fatty Dun, saying, "Here, go and study it yourself, I can't be bothered to explain it to you."
As I was speaking, I walked briskly towards the school.
After this evening, I was so tired that my feet were weak, and I walked especially fast.
When I returned to the dormitory, I almost fell asleep without thinking.
The next day was Monday, and the school on Monday gave off a youthful and energetic atmosphere. Everyone was lively. This was because we had just come back from playing for two days and were not energetic at all.
However, Fatty and I were an exception. In class, the two of us directly used books to cover ourselves and fell asleep on the desk. Especially Fatty, his saliva was more than a foot long.
"Duanmu, Shengjiewei." Suddenly, the angry roar of the teacher sounded, and a blackboard eraser was gloriously thrown at the two of us. With a snap, because I always woke up first, the blackboard eraser always hit Fatty's face.
Finally, it was time for the class to end, and Fatty's face was already pale, looking like a ghost.
Fatty looked at me angrily, "Okay, Duanmu, you always like to trick me."
"How did I trick you?" I shrugged helplessly. "You slept like a pig, is that my fault?"
"I really regret meeting you," Fatty said, grinding his teeth at me.
But as he looked, Fatty's face suddenly changed and he looked behind me, "Hey, Duanmu, isn't that Zhu Jie?"
"Hmm?" I also turned to look after hearing that. I found that the person Fatty was pointing to was indeed Zhu Jie.
"What's wrong with him?" Fatty asked, frowning.
At this moment, Zhu Jie was surrounded by three people, all of them looking at him coldly, and there was a sharp and mocking tone. Zhu Jie stood in the middle of the three of them, looking disheveled, constantly coughing and covering his neck.
Suddenly, Fatty let out a long sigh, "Zhu Jie is also quite pitiful. When his father was alive, these hooligans were like his grandsons, following him around and flattering him all day long. Now that his father has just died, these grandsons have turned their backs on him."
"Let's go, let's go take a look," I suddenly said.
At this moment, there were quite a few students surrounding Zhu Jie and the others, but they were all just onlookers. Fatty and I went straight to the edge of the crowd and stretched our necks to look inside.
Zhu Jie was still coughing and covering his neck, but the three people around him became more arrogant, "Zhu Jie, you used to boss us around, but now you're not so high and mighty, are you?"
"Heh," another young man laughed, "this mixed-breed guy was just relying on his father, now that his old man is gone, what are you? Nothing at all."
With that, the three of them actually took turns slapping Zhu Jie in the face, and the sound of three slaps rang out, leaving several palm prints on Zhu Jie's face.
"Duanmu," at this moment, Fatty fiercely pinched my arm, "these three bastards, when they were Zhu Jie's lackeys before, they didn't dare to act so arrogantly. Now that he's down, I can't bear to watch this."
Hearing Fatty's voice, I didn't reply but continued to silently watch Zhu Jie. At this moment, these three people became more and more addicted to hitting.
Another person cursed for a while, and then viciously kicked Zhu Jie in the chest, "Are you mute? You think you're so great? Without your father, what are you? Call him over, call him!"
With that, he kicked Zhu Jie to the ground.
"You three scumbags." Zhu Jie was kicked to the ground, the three of them were still intending to continue beating him, but at that moment, a voice rang out. It was my voice.
"Hmm?" The three people heard my voice, immediately stopped their actions and turned to look: "Who's the busybody who's not afraid of death?"
Seeing the three people turn around, I grabbed Fatty with one hand, then slowly slipped into the crowd and came in front of the three people, saying indifferently, "It's your granddaddy."
As soon as I said this, Zhujie, who had already been knocked down on the ground, suddenly turned his head with astonishment in his eyes. At this point, I suddenly said to Fatty, "You said you were itching for a fight, right? Beat these three scumbags until they can't get up."
Saying that, I pounced on them as well. I joke around; when I catch ghosts, I don't just deal with ghosts but also with corpses and zombies. Although I don't like fighting on ordinary days, how could I possibly put up with these little thugs in front of me?
Fatty, with all that fat on him, had no problem dealing with two people by himself.
In just a short moment, the three little thugs were knocked down by both Fatty and me. At this moment, the three of them looked at us with fear on their faces, and once again revealed their pitiful expression: "Let us go, please let us go, we won't dare, we won't dare anymore."
I looked coldly at the three people, and then suddenly kicked one of them to the ground: "Get lost."
As soon as I said this, the three of them really rolled away, crawling, covered in cold sweat.
At this point, Fatty and I didn't even look back at Zhujie, we just turned and walked towards our dormitory.
