The person is small but the ghost is big 3513

  He Sheng and his relatives came to this international metropolis with a population of over 10 million, which has a long history and is now a mix of old and new.

  He Sheng's first job was to do the finishing work for a residential area called "Jinbao Garden" located on Sanyuan Street, mainly dismantling scaffolding and pasting wall tiles.

  And this Jinbao Garden is where Cheng Zhou and his son currently reside.

  This job went through to the end without any problems.

  It wasn't until one evening that He Sheng descended the scaffolding later than others and lingered for a moment on the ninth floor of a certain building. In the instant he turned around, he swore he saw a tall, thin man standing in the dark floor staring at him. When he turned his head back again, the person had vanished without a trace.

  Although the person was invisible, He Sheng had a mind for this person.

  "You said your mother was a spirit medium in your hometown?" Cheng Zhou's face looked strange.

  "Hehe," He Sheng laughed and said, "To be honest, my mom should be considered a female Taoist. When she was young, she followed a wild Taoist in the countryside to practice. My mom said that her grandmother's family was poor and couldn't afford to raise her, so they sent her to that wild Taoist as an apprentice. The old Taoist was getting older and relied on my mom to take care of his daily life. In return, he took charge of raising my mom."

  Later, my mother married my father and helped people exorcise ghosts during the slack farming season. The villagers also believed in her. I followed her to learn these things when I was young and saw them with my own eyes, so I believe too."

  "I didn't believe it either at first, now..." Cheng Zhou's face was gloomy as he waved his hand, "You continue speaking."

  He Sheng continued:

  Because he had been paying attention, when the house in Jinbao Garden was rented out later, he and several fellow villagers jointly rented this suite. At first, he didn't think it was serious, just wanting to monitor the ghost nearby to see if it would harm people.

  If he could, he would have taken him in already.

  It was unexpected that the ghost's power was much stronger than he had imagined! The strong resentment of the man at the time of his death directly transformed him into a fierce ghost.

  As the fierce ghost was about to harm others living in room 914, He Sheng had no choice but to engage in a secret battle with it.

  But that fierce ghost was too powerful, and in the end he was seriously injured by him, and his internal organs were damaged by the yin energy.

  After his death, He Sheng was worried about his fellow villagers and feared that the evil spirit would do more harm, so he thought of a way to evade capture by the underworld authorities and chose to linger in the world of the living.

  But because of the powerful barrier set up by that vengeful spirit, he could only attach himself to the door of room 914 and couldn't take a step further inside.

  In just a few months, no matter how he warned them, one by one the residents either died or were injured at the hands of that evil spirit. That evil spirit somehow knew to use other people's vital energy and souls to practice and increase its own power. As a result, among the four people who died or were injured in the house, except for He Sheng, all their souls were trapped inside the house for the evil spirit to cultivate.

  "This vengeful spirit is also a earth-bound spirit, his power is great but he can't leave this house. As long as the people living in this house can walk out of the door, they will be able to escape from his influence. So I've been reminding those who live here, hoping that they can move away from this house as soon as possible. If only they open the door at the same time when they hear me knocking, I'll be able to temporarily hold back the vengeful spirit and let the residents escape, but..."

  A sorrowful expression appeared on He Sheng's face. His heart ached to save them, but all he could see was their bodies being harmed and their souls trapped.

  He Sheng wanted to continue speaking but stopped when he saw Cheng Zhou's expression.

  What's wrong with this person?

  Chengzhou stared blankly at He Sheng, his eyes unblinking.

  "Cheng Ge, don't be afraid, now that..."

  "Are you a ghost?" Cheng Zhou's right hand quietly and unconsciously picked up the spoon on the table.

  Hong Ye gave him a sideways glance, let out a cold laugh, and continued gnawing on his duck neck.

  He Sheng smiled wryly and said, "I thought you already knew."

  I finally understand what this guy is worried about. He used to think he was so capable and planned to rely on him to exorcise ghosts, but it turns out he's just an ordinary person, and... extremely timid.

  "You... that you... are you okay?" Cheng Zhou swore his legs were still firm, and yet, they didn't even tremble.

  He Xian let out a soft sigh, "Don't worry, Cheng Ge. I won't easily harm people, because I don't want to be caught by the underworld and thrown into the eighteenth level of hell for some training. Nor do I intend to absorb your vital energy to increase my powers. If things go wrong and I fall into the demonic path, that's not what I want either."

  Cheng Zhou let out a big sigh of relief, straightened his back and regained his composure as the head of the family. Taking advantage of his remaining courage, he patted He Sheng's shoulder with a loud laugh: "I told you so! Why do you wear the same clothes every day in this cold weather? Do you want me to make two new sets for you? Can we just use paper to make them? No need to buy real ones, right?"

  Something fell onto the desktop and smashed into two pieces.

  "Hey, old man, can you stop holding a ladle when taking pictures of ghosts?"

  "Die little devil! Who are you calling old man? Dare to call again and see!"

  He Shan hurriedly mediated, taking over the conversation before the two of them started arguing.

  He Sheng, who was originally unable to enter the house, easily walked into the boundary set by Lian Gui under Cheng Zhou's pull and began to be able to touch real objects. As for this, He Sheng had always thought that Cheng Zhou was a powerful Taoist or a high-ranking cultivator in the mortal world.

  Cheng Zhou was very pleased with himself, although he didn't understand what it was all about.

  Because of this idea, so on the evening when Hongye was hospitalized, He Sheng boldly let Chengzhou stay alone in the house.

  He didn't realize the danger until the fierce ghost had sucked out a lot of his vital energy.

  Jian Chengzhou had already fainted, He Sheng helplessly resorted to absorbing some of Chengzhou's vital energy to boost his own strength in order to deal with the fierce ghost.

  Cheng Zhou let out three cold hums upon hearing this.

  He Sheng hastily apologized and explained his helplessness, but fortunately, the fierce ghost finally drove him away.

  "Drive him away? Didn't you say he was a land-bound spirit? How can he leave this house?" Cheng Zhou asked while drinking porridge.

  "What was originally inseparable has indeed separated. I suspect..."

  "Huh?"

  "I suspect it's because he absorbed a lot of your vital energy. With his increased power, he broke free from his restraints and went out into the outside world."

  "Is that so. Well, it's good that our home is at peace now. Xiao Hei, if we say it like this, then isn't the house clean now? Right, have you seen an old female ghost? Her face was full of wrinkles, her hair was white, and she was lying on the bathroom floor tiles. And...she seemed to be wearing very little clothing..."

  Cheng Zhou suddenly remembered the old lady and hastily took a big sip of porridge, the more he feared the better his appetite became!

  He Sheng began to take an interest in Cong Hongye, that little scamp.

  He remembered that as soon as Red Leaf came back, she rushed into the bathroom. When he came out, there was nothing in the bathroom anymore.

  Of course, before that, if it wasn't for seeing him guarding Cheng Chou's side and taking care of him, it was very likely that the first ghost to be eliminated in this house would have been He Sheng.

  Thinking of Hongye these days, she's been hovering around him every day, sniffing around him with a greedy look...

  "Cheng Ge, it's great that you're awake!" He Sheng was deeply relieved and immediately got up to refill Cheng Zhou's rice bowl.

  The red leaf tapped on the edge of the bowl, indicating that it also wanted some.

  "Don't knock on the bowl." Cheng's father scolded his son.

  Doesn't Cheng Ge know about Hong Ye's abilities? He should know, after all, he is his son. However, looking at how he has always been unaware of himself, maybe...

  "Now in this house, except for me, there are no other ghosts." After some thought, He Sheng replied like this.

  As for the other living being, a vengeful spirit, after the fierce ghost left the house, each went to where they should go. What was left was something even more powerful than the fierce ghost... His son didn't seem like a ghost, at least he didn't look like one, although he couldn't tell what the red leaf really was either.

  "Ah, Sheng!" Cheng Chou exclaimed excitedly, turning sideways and grasping both of He Sheng's hands. "It's really great to have you in this family! Don't worry, tomorrow I'll put your ancestral tablet in our home, so you can stay here openly and honestly. Even if the King of Hell comes to take people away, I won't let him take you."

  Where can you find such a good and hardworking ghost who can also protect people? No matter what, we must keep him. In the future, if anyone wants to take over this house, he can still ask He Sheng for help to scare them off. Ha ha, it's really worth keeping such a ghost around!

  "This is... really thanks to Cheng Ge. However, once that fierce ghost is dealt with, I plan to reincarnate, so I shouldn't be bothering you for too long."

  "What are you talking about! Why are you in such a hurry to be reborn? Can't you stay with me for a few more years? Are you dissatisfied with how I've treated you? Tomorrow, I'll take you shopping and buy whatever clothes you want. Do you want hell money? Should I burn US dollars for you instead? Or maybe ingots or gold and silver?"

  "No need, I'm staying with you, I won't be using these things." Simple-minded He Sheng didn't think too much about it, but was flustered by Cheng Zhou's sudden enthusiasm, and didn't even know how to refuse properly.

  "Dad, I just heard Brother He Sheng say that the fierce ghost is still wandering outside, I don't know if it will run to Dad's company? And I've heard that fierce ghosts are very vengeful and like to take revenge!" The child's voice was innocent.

  "Dad, I think you should be careful tomorrow when you go to work. For example, when taking the subway, remember not to stand too close to the edge of the platform, and when crossing the road, make sure to wait for the green light. When eating, check if there are any glass shards in your bowl, and when walking, look up to see if there are any flower pots falling from the sky. Oh, and don't forget to watch your step, or you might fall into an uncovered manhole. Dad, you have to be careful, careful, and even more careful! Do you want me to go with you to work?"

  Look, this son is so filial!

  Because his son was too filial, he reminded him of the many bumps and unexpected events on the road of life, so that Cheng Shou's big brother, who was about to become an old father, was nervous and cautious when he went out the next day, taking three looks at every step, and it took twice as much time as usual to arrive at the company.

  Cheng Zhou hesitated for half a day before pushing open that glass door, fearing the glass would suddenly shatter and hit him.

  "Good morning."

  "Ah. Yo, Chengzhou you finally came. I heard that you have been sitting in confinement for a month and couldn't come to work? How are you, is it better now?"

  King Kun Liang!

  Why is it that in everyone's life there are always a few people who can't get along with themselves? Cheng Zhou silently sat down at his own seat and opened the computer.

  It's been just a few days since I didn't come, and the table is already piled up with all sorts of things.

  I'm coming, aren't I...!!!

  "Excuse me, who put these things here?"

  "Oh, sorry about that, I have too much work and materials, there's really no space to put them, so can I borrow your desk to put them for a bit? Anyway, your desk is empty too. People with nothing to do are just lucky. Chengzhou, can you help me out and move these materials to my desk? I'm going to meet the supervisor later and don't have time to organize them." Wang Kunliang said as he walked out of the office, "Oh, and be careful not to mess up these materials!"

  What's the rush? There are still 15 minutes before work starts, can't I just go out and have some breakfast? It'd be great if I could eat till I'm stuffed!

  A knife on my head, I endure!

  The others in the office seem to be used to this situation and no one says a word.

  Chengzhou came and went several times, finally cleaning up the desktop.

  One minute before work started, Cheng Zhou's partner, Li Jiacheng, who was considered a newcomer to society, pushed open the glass door of the office.

  "Have you come to work? Are you feeling better?"

  "Thank you, much better." Cheng Zhou smiled at Li Jia Cheng, it's always good to have someone care.

  "If you don't come, I'll ask the department head to assign someone else to help me. There's a huge amount of work piled up on me alone, and I've been working overtime every day, no time for dates after work. Senior, my girlfriend left because of you, you're responsible."

  Nowadays young people...! Am I the only one who is particularly honest? In my early years as a newcomer, would I dare to speak to company seniors like this? Isn't it deliberately looking for scolding?

  Cheng Zhou also wanted to show off his seniority and scold Li Jiacheng a couple of times, but he opened his mouth and hesitated.

  "Sorry for the trouble. Let's hand over the work and from now on, try to leave work on time, haha."

  Li Jiacheng naturally nodded and without hesitation, immediately threw all the accumulated work on his hands over.

  Chengzhou had a bitter face and started his day's work with anxiety. A good person is often bullied!

  "Watch out! Careful!"

  "What?" Cheng Zhou raised his head.

  "Crash." The glass in the glass door beside him fell out of its frame and collapsed towards him.

  Chengzhou's eyes widened as he stared at the thick sheet of glass coming towards him...

  "How long are you going to stay here? You're sitting right in front, and the door is about to fall off, don't you even want to lend a hand?!" Li Jiacheng's face was filled with restraint as he yelled, his hands propping up the glass door.

  The whole office applauded collectively - Li Jiacheng's catch was beautiful! The speed at which he rushed over to hold the glass was absolutely faster than the world's 100-meter champion.

  The day after Cheng Chou woke up.

  Because it's a sales department, most of the sales representatives are outside running business or staying with customers dealing with things.

  By eleven o'clock, there were less than four or five people left in the office of Sales Department 1. After the department head also ran out, the original sneaky behavior of surfing the internet and chatting online became open and aboveboard.

  Unfortunately, Cheng Zhou couldn't enjoy this rare stolen time as usual, but instead became more and more uneasy as the number of people decreased.

  His nerves were stretched taut, his head constantly turning to look around, especially behind him, where he always felt like something was stuck. Every three to five minutes, he couldn't help but turn around and take a look at his back.

  At first, no one noticed anything strange about Cheng Chou, but seeing him turn his head back so many times, Chen Yan, the general affairs manager sitting opposite him, couldn't help but ask: "Cheng Chou, what are you always looking at behind your back?"

  "Uh, no... I didn't see anything, it's just that with all the people coming and going behind me, I felt a bit uncomfortable." Cheng Zhou smiled awkwardly and replied in a low voice.

  Chen Yan gave him a white eye, "Not the first day sitting there, I thought you were used to it long ago. Why not ask Section Chief Li to change your position?"

  "It's been mentioned before, and the department head also said to change it, but after changing for almost four years, several new people have come in and still haven't seen him give me a change." Chengzhou complained softly.

  "This is also true, if this position were given to someone else, they would not be happy either. Ah, never mind that, by the way, Cheng Zhou have you seen the news these past two days? It's spreading all over the internet!"

  What news? Cheng Zhou is bewildered.
