Chapter 28: One More Pair of Chopsticks

  Is there really such thing as ghosts in this world?

  Xiaofeng had once asked his master about this issue in full detail.

  That short and lovely woman, waving her index finger seriously said: "There

  "Are there ghosts? What do they look like? And what exactly are they? Are they scary?"

  The master blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed at Xiaofeng, saying: "It's you who looks like this."

  Xiao Feng only felt that he had been fooled. After many years, he still didn't entangle himself with this issue. Since he hadn't seen it, then it was better to think of it as non-existent.

  The two days passed quickly.

  On the third day, Xiaofeng attended a collective funeral held by the police station.

  Orphaned and widowed, crying pitifully.

  Heartbreaking.

  At times like these, Xiaofeng always hopes there are ghosts in this world.

  If it really exists, then people who have passed away are not truly gone, they can continue their wonderful life in another world.

  Believe it is because of expectation.

  Every life lost is heart-wrenching.

  Of course, what's even more heart-wrenching is Xiaofeng.

  Because he was sent back to prison again.

  This time, however, his treatment has improved significantly. The warden even installed a power source in his room and gave him a new mobile phone.

  This can be considered as super 'VIP' treatment.

  However, Xiao Feng didn't have the leisure time to play with this, and instead put his main energy into cracking the copper ball.

  To put it bluntly, this thing is now placed in prison, which is perfectly suitable.

  Who would have thought that even a 'ghost' would want something good, and it would be hidden in such a strange place.

  Especially when no one thought that Xiaofeng actually found the original picture of this copper ball, the repair plan... accelerated countless times.

  Piece by piece, this is not a fun job.

  Headache.

  Ding dong.

  The red light on the wall flickered twice.

  This was a small agreement he had with the warden, that if someone came to see him, this light would be turned on.

  Xiao Feng hid the copper ball at the fastest speed and hid the painting as well.

  After waiting for about five minutes, two prison guards brought someone over.

  That was a complete stranger.

  Xiao Feng could be certain that she had never seen him in her life.

  Wearing a beige suit.

  He still wore a hat on his head.

  It looks somewhat incongruous and more like the attire of a fashionable man from the Republic of China era.

  He walked up to the gate of Xiao Feng's prison cell, raised his hat brim and smiled: "May I ask... are you Guo Xiao Feng?"

  Xiao Feng furrowed his brow and nodded, saying: "Yes, but... who are you? Have we met before?"

  He shook his head and said, "Sorry for the sudden intrusion this time. Who we are... you don't really need to know. You just need to know that we already know of your existence. As for why I came this time, it's because I want to ask a small favor of you."

  The dawn wind narrowed its eyes and guessed the other's origin, but couldn't guess the other's intention.

  Is it for the copper ball? Impossible, those people can't possibly know the whole text.

  "Oh? Let me help with a small matter? I'm just a prisoner of the lower level, what can I possibly do to help you? Are you kidding?"

  That person laughed and shook his head, saying: "Never underestimate the energy of your own, in our understanding, even a screw, a bubble of urine, a lump of feces, all have their reasons for existence and value.

  Xiao Feng's eyebrows twitched wildly as he said, "Hey! Are you trying to praise me or what?!"

  "That person said: 'Alright, let's not talk about jokes. This time I came to express some... uh... attitudes through you to the authorities.'"

  "Attitude?"

  "Yes, you don't need to know which faction I belong to, just knowing that this kind of virus threat will never happen again is enough"

  Xiao Feng furrowed his brow and said, "Can you guarantee it?"

  That person shook his head and said: "I can't, but if such a thing really happens again in the country, it must be that I'm dead."

  Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright, I'll go spread the word. But what I'm curious about is, why don't you go tell the authorities about this kind of thing?"

  That person chuckled and said: "No way, no way, we can't get in touch with the authorities, as for the reason inside... if you're clever, you should be able to think of it."

  Xiao Feng sank into thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

  That man smiled again and turned around to leave with a carefree attitude.

  Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh twice.

  It's indeed 'ghostly' work that can be done in such a style, neat and powerful, with a loud crash.

  He then called the director and conveyed everything the man had said without missing a single word.

  It's also considered as the end of the task.

  Xiao Feng's tightly wound heart over the past few days finally relaxed now.

  A sensational event that shook the highest echelons but was unknown to most people has come to an end.

  With Li Tongtong's death, the mystery of where the copper ball was will no longer be a concern for anyone.

  All in all... the biggest beneficiary of this whole thing is Xiaofeng. Not only because of the case, but also because he was needed, so he was only given a two-year sentence. Otherwise... being locked up for fifteen years would be unavoidable.

  After all, they were two lives.

  And now it seems that I will also have a suspended sentence.

  Secondly, that copper ball which involved several lives and was definitely worth more than this ended up in Xiaofeng's pocket.

  Can't make any more money.

  Hehe, Xiao Feng sat back on his bed, touched the foot of the bed, and then suddenly realized that a cigarette and match he had hidden there were gone!

  This is simply the biggest loss in the whole incident!

  Enraged.

  Facing the monitor is a burst of noise.

  The prison warden had no choice but to specially arrange for a prison guard to come and inform him.

  Said... Before dawn broke, Can Yue 'checked' once more.

  Xiao Feng stared blankly at the sky, speechless. With a resentful mutter, he said: "These damn women are really something!"

  But the remaining moon still underestimated the power of the 'circle' between men.

  The prison guard swallowed his saliva and plucked up the courage to ask: "I don't know... what's missing?"

  Xiao Feng sighed sorrowfully: "Smoke"

  The prison guard was stunned, then... pulled out a box and a lighter from his pocket and secretly stuffed them into Xiaofeng's hand.

  Xiao Feng hastily pulled out a beautiful cigarette and lit it up, sitting on the bed enjoying the relaxation after the event had ended.

  At the same time, he tilted his head and glanced at the prison guard, suddenly saying: "Actually, it's enough to apologize to my wife, is it worth suffering so much?"

  The prison guard was taken aback and hastily said: "You... how did you know we had a fight?!"

  Xiao Feng pointed to his clothes and said, "You've been wearing this set for several days in a row. Five days ago was the same one. Although you must have washed it, you really don't know how to take care of it. The cuffs and collar are all discolored. One look and I can tell that you're used to having women take care of you, but now you've been abandoned."

  The prison guard stared blankly and said: "Just based on this... you can tell?"

  Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "Of course not. The wrinkles on your clothes are clearly from sleeping on a sofa for several days. You haven't been home in a while, have you? A guy like you with a decent job can't even go home, unless your wife kicked you out. And when you walked by here during the day, you were carrying a cloth-covered lunchbox, which was sent by your wife, right?"

  The prison guard nodded stupidly.

  Xiao Feng continued: "Since she can still bring you food, it proves that she is only angry and has not cut off her relationship with you yet. Moreover... bringing food is a compromise on her part, this is the limit for a woman, it's time for you to apologize."

  "Really... is it really like this?"

  Xiao Feng spread his hands and said, "I can only tell you that if you need to apologize, then apologize. It's like a cold, if you need to treat it, then treat it. If you drag it on, the nature of it will change, and when the time comes, it will be hard to make amends."

  The prison guard was startled and was about to run out, but then scratched his head and said awkwardly: "This... is a bit..."

  Xiao Feng said: "Can't swallow your pride? No problem, isn't the salary about to be paid soon? Take the money and buy some good things, coax her a bit, eat and drink, stroll around, and naturally, that apology will come out. This is the only thing that can't be avoided, if you don't say it, it's just suppressing the issue, even if it's temporarily alleviated, it'll still erupt later."

  The prison guard thought carefully for a moment and suddenly realized that many times before when the couple had fought, it seemed like they were just making up excuses.

  It turns out that now, it's actually because of something that happened before, which didn't have an ending. As a man, I thought the past was just the past, but who knew women would... remember so clearly and lash out when they get the chance!

  The prison guard suddenly stood up straight and couldn't help but salute Xiaofeng, exclaiming: "Great Master!"

  Then he turned around and ran away, apparently to call home and apologize.

  Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said: "Cut it out, if you have time to flirt around, why don't you watch some soap operas and learn from them?"

  Just as Xiao Feng was about to enjoy his peace and quiet, the prison guard who had just run out came running back.

  Xiao Feng frowned and said: "Huh? What's wrong, didn't they agree?"

  Wei Jing shook his head anxiously and said: "No, it's not that matter, it's... someone is looking for you again!"

  As expected, a person ran over from behind and directly pressed against the glass of Xiaofeng's cell, anxiously shouting: "Xiaofeng, it's all over! Something has happened in the hospital, something has happened to Guo!"

  Xiao Feng suddenly got up from the bed, and the cigarette pinched between his fingers fell directly onto his toes, which were wearing slippers, causing a blister before rolling off.

  But Xiao Feng didn't feel anything at all, staring blankly at the newcomer with a shocked expression.

  Existing in this world, whether stuck at home or busy with work, you will inevitably meet too many people who say too many things to you.

  Some can be remembered, some are forgotten, but there are still... impressions that will be extremely deep.

  No matter how cold-blooded a person is, he can always hear the most touching words in his life.

  That sentence could be extremely simple.

  As for Xiaofeng.

  What moved him most was just one sentence: "Stay, it's just adding another pair of chopsticks."

  That was over a decade ago, when the dazed and confused Xiao Feng, who was only five years old at the time, was taken to an orphanage due to extreme hunger and cold, and the director, Auntie Guo, said a sentence.

  Very simple.

  But brought Xiao Feng a 'home'.

  What is home? Perhaps it's just a table of food and a pair of chopsticks divided for oneself.

  At least, a poor little kid who could only starve and freeze to death in the mortal world, because of one sentence, had a home. This world... is there really a ghost?

  Xiaofeng had once asked his master about this matter.

  That short and lovely woman, waving her index finger seriously said: "There

  "Are there ghosts? What do they look like? And what exactly are they? Are they scary?"

  The master blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed at Xiaofeng, saying: "It's you who looks like this."

  Xiao Feng only felt that he had been fooled. After many years, he still hadn't entangled himself in this issue again. Since he hadn't seen it, then it didn't exist at all.

  The two days passed quickly.

  On the third day, Xiaofeng attended a collective funeral held by the police station.

  Orphaned and widowed, crying pitifully.

  Heartbreaking.

  Every life that passes away is heart-wrenching.

  Of course, what's even more heart-wrenching is Xiaofeng.

  To put it bluntly, this thing is now placed in prison, which is perfectly suitable.

  Who would have thought that even a 'ghost' who wants to get good things as soon as possible, will hide the full text in such a strange place.

  Especially when no one expected it, Xiaofeng actually found the original picture of this copper ball, and the repair plan... accelerated countless times.

  Piece by piece, this is not a fun job.

  Headache.

  That man smiled again and turned around to leave with a carefree attitude.

  Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh twice.

  It's indeed 'ghostly' work that can be done in such a style, neat and tidy, with every word hitting the mark.

  He then called the director and conveyed what the man had said without missing a single sentence.

  It's also considered as the end of the task.

  The prison guard suddenly stood up straight and couldn't help but salute Xiaofeng, exclaiming: "Master!"

  Then he turned around and ran away, apparently to call home and apologize.

  Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said: "Cut it out, if you have time to flirt around, why don't you watch some soap operas and learn from them?"

  Just as Xiao Feng was about to enjoy his peace and quiet, the prison guard who had just run out came running back.

  Can't earn anymore.

  This is simply the greatest loss in the whole incident!

  Enraged.

  Facing the monitor is a burst of noise.

  The warden had no choice but to specially arrange for a prison guard to come and read out the entire text.

  Said... Before dawn broke, Can Yue 'checked' once more.

  Xiao Feng continued: "Since she can still bring you food, it proves that she is only angry and has not cut off her relationship with you yet. Moreover... bringing food is a compromise on her part, this is the limit for a woman, it's time for you to apologize."

  "Really... is it really like this?"

  Xiao Feng spread his hands and said, "I can only tell you that if you need to apologize, then apologize. It's like a cold, if you need to treat it, then treat it. If you drag it on, the nature of the problem will change, and when the time comes, it will be hard to make amends."

  The prison guard was startled and was about to run out, but then scratched his head and said awkwardly: "This... is a bit..."

  Xiao Feng said: "Can't swallow your pride? No problem, isn't the salary about to be paid soon? Take the money and buy some good things, coax her a bit, eat and drink, stroll around, and naturally, that apology will come out. This is the only thing that can't be avoided, if you don't say it, it's just suppressing the issue, even if it's temporarily alleviated, it'll still erupt later."

  The prison guard thought carefully for a moment and suddenly realized that many times before when the couple had fought, it seemed like they were just making up excuses.

  It turns out that now, it was because of something that happened before, which didn't have an ending. As a man, I thought the past was just the past, but who knew women would... remember so clearly and lash out when they get the chance!

  The prison guard suddenly stood up straight and couldn't help but salute Xiaofeng, exclaiming: "Master!"

  Then he turned around and ran away, apparently to call home and apologize.

  Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said: "Cut it out, if you have time to flirt around, why don't you watch some soap operas and learn from them?"

  Just as Xiao Feng was about to enjoy his peace and quiet, the prison guard who had just run out came running back.

  Xiao Feng frowned and said: "Huh? What's wrong, did the other party disagree?"

  Wei Jing shook his head anxiously and said, "No, it's not that matter, it's... someone is looking for you again!"

  As expected, a person ran over from behind and directly pressed against the glass of Xiaofeng's cell, anxiously shouting: "Xiaofeng, it's all over! Something has happened in the yard, something has happened to Aunt Guo!"

  Xiao Feng suddenly got up from the bed, and the cigarette pinched between his fingers fell directly onto his toes, which were wearing slippers, causing a blister before rolling off.

  But Xiao Feng didn't feel anything at all, staring blankly at the newcomer with a shocked expression.

  Existing in this world, whether stuck at home or busy with work, you will inevitably meet too many people who say too many things to you.

  Some can be remembered, some are forgotten, but there are still... impressions that will be extremely deep.

  No matter how cold-blooded a person is, he can always hear the most touching words in his life.

  That sentence could be extremely simple.

  As for Xiaofeng.

  What moved him most was just one sentence: "Stay, it's just adding another pair of chopsticks."

  That was over a decade ago, when the dazed and confused Xiao Feng, who was only five years old at the time, was taken to an orphanage due to extreme hunger and cold, and the director, Auntie Guo, said a sentence.

  Very simple.

  But brought Xiao Feng a 'home'.

  What is home? Perhaps it's just a table of food and a pair of chopsticks divided for oneself.

  At least, a poor little kid who could only starve and freeze to death in the mortal world, because of one sentence, had a home. This world... is there really a ghost?

  Xiaofeng once asked his master about this issue, and he thought it was good-looking.

  That short and lovely woman, waving her index finger seriously said: "There

  "Are there ghosts? What do they look like? And what exactly are they? Are they scary?"

  The master blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed at Xiaofeng, saying: "It's you who looks like this."

  Xiao Feng only felt that he had been fooled. After many years, he still didn't entangle himself with this issue. Since he hadn't seen it, then it was as if it didn't exist.

  The two days passed quickly.

  On the third day, Xiaofeng attended a collective funeral held by the police station.

  Orphaned and widowed, crying pitifully.

  Heartbreaking.

  At times like these, Xiaofeng always hopes there are ghosts in this world.

  If it really exists, then people who have passed away are not truly gone, they can continue their wonderful life in another world.

  Believe it is because of expectation.

  Every life lost is heart-wrenching.

  Of course, what's even more heart-wrenching is Xiaofeng.

  Because he was sent back to prison again.

  This time, however, his treatment has improved significantly. The warden even installed a power source in his room and gave him a new mobile phone.

  This can be considered as super 'VIP' treatment.

  However, Xiao Feng didn't have the leisure time to play with this, and instead put his main energy into deciphering the copper ball.

  To put it bluntly, this thing is now placed in prison, which is perfectly suitable.

  Who would have thought that even a 'ghost' would want something good, and it would be hidden in such a strange place.

  Especially when no one expected it, Xiaofeng actually found the original picture of this copper ball, and the repair plan... accelerated countless times.

  Piece by piece, this is not a fun job.

  Headache.

  Ding dong.

  The red light on the wall flickered twice.

  This was a small agreement he had with the warden, that if someone came to see him, this light would be turned on.

  Xiao Feng hid the copper ball at the fastest speed and hid the painting as well.

  After waiting for about five minutes, two prison guards brought someone over.

  That was a complete stranger.

  Xiao Feng could be certain that she had never seen him in her life.

  Wearing a beige suit.

  He still wore a hat on his head.

  It looks somewhat incongruous and more like the attire of a fashionable man from the Republic of China era.

  He walked up to the gate of Xiao Feng's prison cell, raised his hat brim and smiled: "May I ask... are you Guo Xiao Feng?"

  Xiao Feng furrowed his brow and nodded, saying: "Yes, but... who are you? Have we met before?"

  He shook his head and said, "Sorry for the sudden intrusion this time. Who we are... you don't really need to know. You just need to know that we already know of your existence. As for why I came this time, it's because I want to ask a small favor of you."

  Dawn wind pupil suddenly contracted, guessed the other's origin, but couldn't guess the other's intention.

  Is it for the copper ball? Impossible, those people can't possibly know.

  "Oh? Let me help with a small favor? I'm just a prisoner of the lower level, what can I possibly do to help you? Are you kidding?"

  That person laughed and shook his head, saying: "Never underestimate the power of your own energy. In our understanding, even a screw, a bubble of urine, or a piece of feces all have their reasons for existence and value."

  Xiao Feng's eyebrows twitched wildly as he said, "Hey! Are you trying to praise me or what?!"

  "That's enough joking around," he said. "I came this time to express some... attitudes through you, to the authorities."

  "Attitude?"

  "Yes, you don't need to know which faction I belong to, just knowing that this kind of virus threat will never happen again is enough"

  Xiao Feng furrowed his brow and said, "Can you guarantee it?"

  That person shook his head and said: "I can't, but if such a thing really happens again in the country, it must be after I'm dead."

  Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright, I'll go spread the word. But what I'm curious about is, why don't you go tell the authorities about this kind of thing?"

  That person chuckled and said: "No way, no way, we can't get in touch with the authorities, as for the reason inside... if you're clever, you should be able to think of it."

  The dawn wind sank into thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

  That man smiled again and turned around to leave with a carefree attitude.

  Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh twice.

  It's indeed 'ghostly' work that can be done in such a style, neat and tidy, with a loud noise.

  He then called the director and conveyed what the man had said without missing a single sentence.

  It's also considered as the end of the task.

  Xiao Feng's tightly wound heart over the past few days finally relaxed now.

  A sensational event that shook the highest echelons but was unknown to most people has come to an end.

  With Li Tongtong's death, the mystery of where the copper ball was will no longer be a concern for anyone.

  Overall... the biggest beneficiary of this whole thing is Xiaofeng. Not only because of the case, but also because he was needed, so he was only given a two-year sentence. Otherwise... fifteen years in prison would be unavoidable.

  After all, they were two lives.

  And now it seems that I will also have a suspended sentence.

  Secondly, that copper ball which involved several lives and was definitely worth more than this ended up in Xiaofeng's pocket.

  Can't make any more money.

  Hehe, Xiao Feng sat back on his bed, touched the foot of the bed, and then suddenly realized that a cigarette and match he had hidden there were gone!

  This is simply the biggest loss in the whole incident!

  Enraged.

  Facing the monitor is a burst of loud text.

  The prison warden had no choice but to specially arrange for a prison guard to come and inform him.

  Said... Before Dawn broke in, the remaining moon 'checked' once.

  Xiao Feng stared blankly at the sky, speechless. With a resentful mutter, he said: "These damned women!"

  But the remaining moon still underestimated the power of the 'circle' between men.

  The prison guard swallowed his saliva and plucked up the courage to ask: "I don't know... what's missing?"

  Xiao Feng said sorrowfully: "Smoke"

  The prison guard was stunned, then... pulled out a box and a lighter from his pocket and secretly stuffed them into Xiaofeng's hand.

  Xiao Feng hastily pulled out a beautiful cigarette and lit it up, sitting on the bed enjoying the relaxation after the event had ended.

  At the same time, he tilted his head and glanced at the prison guard, suddenly saying: "Actually, it's enough to apologize to my wife, is it worth suffering so much?"

  The prison guard was taken aback and hastily said: "You... how did you know we had a fight?!"

  Xiao Feng pointed to his clothes and said, "You've been wearing this set for several days in a row. Five days ago was the same one. Although you must have washed it, you really don't know how to take care of it. The cuffs and collar are all discolored. One look and I can tell that you're used to having women take care of you, but now you've been abandoned."

  The prison guard stared blankly and said: "Just based on this... you can tell?"

  Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "Of course not. The wrinkles on your clothes are clearly from sleeping on a sofa for several days, right? A guy like you with a decent job can't even go home, unless your wife kicked you out, what else could it be? And when you walked by here during the day, you were carrying a cloth-covered lunchbox in your hand, was that sent by your wife?"

  The prison guard nodded stupidly with his whole body.

  Xiao Feng continued: "Since she can still bring you food, it proves that she is only angry and has not yet cut off all ties with you. Moreover... bringing food is a compromise on her part, this is the limit for a woman, it's time for you to apologize."

  "Really... is it really like this?"

  Xiao Feng spread his hands and said, "I can only tell you that if you need to apologize, then apologize. It's like a cold, if you need to treat it, then treat it. If you drag it on, the nature of it will change, and when the time comes, it will be hard to make amends."

  The prison guard was startled and was about to run out, but then scratched his head and said awkwardly: "This... is a bit..."

  Xiao Feng said: "Can't swallow your pride? No problem, isn't the salary about to be paid soon? Take the money and buy some good things, coax her a bit, eat and drink, stroll around, and naturally, that apology will come out. This is the only thing that can't be avoided, if you don't say it, it's just suppressing the issue, even if it's temporarily alleviated, it'll still erupt later."

  The prison guard thought carefully for a moment and suddenly realized that many times before when the couple quarreled, it seemed to be very unreasonable.

  Actually, thinking back now, it's because of something that happened before that didn't have an ending. As a man, I thought the past was just the past, but who knew women would... remember so clearly and lash out when they get the chance!

  The prison guard suddenly stood up straight and couldn't help but salute Xiaofeng, exclaiming: "Master!"

  Then he turned around and ran away, apparently to call home and apologize.

  Xiao Feng rolled her eyes and said: "Cut it out, if you have time to flirt around, why don't you watch some soap operas and learn from them?"

  Just as Xiao Feng was about to enjoy his peace and quiet, the prison guard who had just run out came running back.

  Xiao Feng frowned and said: "Huh? What's wrong, didn't they agree?"

  Wei Jing shook his head anxiously and said, "No, it's not that matter, it's... someone is looking for you again!"

  As expected, a person ran over from behind and directly pressed against the glass of Xiaofeng's cell, anxiously shouting: "Xiaofeng, it's all over! Something has happened in the hospital, something has happened to Guo!"

  Xiao Feng suddenly got up from the bed, and the cigarette pinched between his fingers fell directly onto his toes wearing slippers, blistering before rolling off.

  But Xiao Feng didn't feel anything at all, staring blankly at the newcomer with a shocked expression.

  Existing in this world, whether stuck at home or busy with work, you will inevitably meet too many people who say too many things to you.

  Some can be remembered, some are forgotten, but there are still... impressions that will be extremely deep.

  What is home? Perhaps it's just a table of food and a pair of chopsticks divided for oneself.

  At least, a little kid who could have starved or frozen to death in the human world, because of one sentence, had a home.
