Chapter Twenty: The Inescapable Position

  Remember 【Bookstore】 in one second

  "Do I have to keep doing this for the next three years? Are you kidding me? Regardless of whether my dad is safe or not, I will never do this job again, absolutely not!" Hearing Yin Lao Liu's words, I strongly refuted. Yes, I firmly believe that I won't continue anymore.

  Without responding to what I said, Yin Lao Liu slowly said to me: "Do you know that the young man was also a matchmaker for the small wooden house."

  "I already knew this, he told me everything." I said bluntly.

  However, it was because he hated this job that he ended up dying innocently and his soul could not reincarnate. Every time after midnight at 12 o'clock, as long as the wooden house door opened and someone worked here, he had to enter the wooden house too, symbolically reporting once, which made him unable to leave this wooden house, otherwise he would lose his spirit and never be reborn.

  "What? So that means as long as I go to work, he has to enter the small wooden house too? No wonder the first person I meet when I go to work is always him. But why did he become like this? And how did he end up harming himself and becoming unable to reincarnate?"

  I'm very concerned about this issue now, because I'm currently doing the same job as he used to do, and I must understand more and more comprehensively!

  Yin Lao Liu heard my words and smiled self-deprecatingly, then replied to me: "Why? It's because he looks down on the work he does, it's because he can't accept this job, so he broke his promise."

  "Has it been ruined? What if it has been ruined?" Hearing Old Six Yin say this, I had a premonition that something was terribly wrong!

  "What if you break your promise? Do you know what contract you signed?"

  "What is it?" I asked.

  Yin Lao Liu smiled and said: "Once you sign the contract, it means you have to work according to the term specified in the contract. Otherwise, you'll be the next one..."

  When Yin Lao Liu revealed the answer, I was instantly stunned.

  I stood there stupidly, just standing there like a fool...

  At this moment I finally understand, I was thoroughly schemed by Old Six Yin, my three years are done! No! My whole life is done!!!

  "I'm going to kill you!!!####$$$$$....." I was furious, opening my mouth and scolding Yin Laoliu loudly, the whole person like a madman shouting loudly, shouting...

  As I scolded him, Yin Lao Liu didn't get angry, but instead replied to me: "What's the hurry? It's not that everyone who accepts this contract and does this job ends up with a bad outcome. Although you saw that young man die, or your predecessor as a matchmaker committed suicide for violating the taboo of harming one's relatives, the results were indeed tragic, but those are just individual cases. There are still people who have survived the three-year contract and ended up with good results."

  "Alright? Who? You tell me and I'll go ask him in person!" I shouted hysterically at Old Man Yin.

  "Who? You don't need to know who he is, just understand that once you enter the job, your only choice is to grit your teeth and mix for three years. Otherwise, your outcome will be like that young man."

  "I..."

  I was left speechless after hearing Old Six's words.

  If Old Man Yin is telling the truth, does that mean I'll have to become a ghost like Xiao Qing after I die and report for duty every midnight in the wooden hut? That's just ridiculous, I'm not willing to do that.

  But another question appeared in my mind, who is this old six after all? How did he know so many things about the wooden house? And why did he induce me to do this unreliable job that suffers from various taboos? Is it just to offset the evil spirit on me?

  I really can't figure it out, I wanted to ask Yin Lao Liu in the past, but my intuition tells me that even if I asked, it would be a waste of time, he wouldn't tell me anyway...

  Helpless, I shook my head and looked at Yin Laoliu with a self-deprecating smile: "Yin Lao, you win! Ge Dong admits defeat! But it doesn't matter if these three years or even this lifetime are ruined for me. Now, I just want to ensure my father's safety. If you can guarantee his safety, what can the ghost and I do in our dealings over the next three years?"

  Look at me talking like this, Yin Lao Liu smiled and said: "What? When you ask for my help, you call me Grandpa, but when you get angry, it's old man? You little brat, this is called disrespecting the elderly! However, I've already said it, if you want to save your dad, you must work tonight and beg that young man. After all, you're the one who broke the taboo of harming your own family, so the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

  "Alright, I'll trust you this once!" At this point, I have no other choice either...

  After saying all these words, Yin Lao Liu found an excuse to leave. Looking at his back, I really wanted to beat him up and vent my anger. But I knew that doing so would be futile, even if I beat him up, it wouldn't solve anything. Moreover, this guy was capable of dealing with ghosts, let alone me, a mere mortal who couldn't even win against this scrawny old man...

  I left Old Yin, and I didn't think about those useless things anymore. First, I contacted a guy in the village who had a car, and then asked him to drive me to the city bureau. Now I'm anxious to see how my dad is doing. I don't want anything to happen to my dad, if something happens to him, our family will be finished...

  Soon, under the man's driving, we arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Inside the bureau, I saw my mother and uncle, but what made us desperate was that the personnel inside did not allow us to visit our relatives. They also said that my father was a highly suspicious criminal and was not allowed to be contacted by outsiders.

  I couldn't see my father, and my mother cried so sadly. You know, my father is the sky to my mother. If this sky collapses, I'm afraid my mother will also collapse...

  I've been searching for relevant personnel in the bureau, but to no avail. Then I called Yin Lao Liu again, hoping he could help us out, after all, he has more connections with people from higher social circles and has some influence in this regard.

  However, Old Yin Liu told me that he helped to smooth out the relationship for me, but the Municipal Public Security Bureau has just transferred a new director. The new director is very upright and uncorrupted, not giving us any chance to smooth things over at all. Moreover, as the saying goes "new officials bring new policies", it seems like they are cracking down hard on this case, bad luck, we've run into trouble...

  In the end, Old Yin told me that there was only one way left, which was to go to Xiao Qing's place at night and ask for his help.

  Before returning from the municipal bureau, I was the only one who chose to return. My mother refused to come back no matter what, so I withdrew 5,000 yuan from my bank card and gave it to my uncle's family to help take care of my mother and keep an eye on everything here. As for Yin Lao Liu's car, I didn't drive it away, but left it with them, just in case something happens, it would be convenient to travel.

  On the way back, I was naturally pulled back by a fellow villager who brought me. All the way, the driver kept comforting me, telling me that my father was lucky and would not be in trouble, and asked me to relax. I just gave him a forced smile, and then didn't say anything else...

  Back home, it was still early, but around five o'clock in the afternoon, I lay alone on the cool kang, just like that. Exhausted from a day without eating, I didn't even know what hunger felt like, and I just lay there stupidly on the kang.

  Looking at the dilapidated roof, I thought a lot to myself. I don't know why my fate is so bumpy, nor do I know what sin I committed in my previous life that heaven would torment me like this. Grandpa died to save me...

  My girlfriend loves me to death, and it's been three times in a row...

  Now even Zhao Ershu is being haunted by a ghost and my father is also going to be thrown into prison...

  To be honest, I feel like I'm a bit redundant being alive.

  Now, I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that after midnight tonight, I can see that young man as soon as possible and ask him to help me save my father. If he really can help me rescue my father, even if I have to kowtow to him or become a wild ghost to accompany him, I am willing!
