Chapter Three: Sending Flower Wreaths

This man stared deadThe man walked straight into the house, completely ignoring his kneeling pleas.Yu Zhong's expression was also...ExtinctionOfHe gritted his teeth, pulled out a few red bills from his pocket, and stuffed them into my hand, hurriedly whispering for me to beg him for help..

I was terrified; I was going to die here.What's the point of caring about face in people's eyes?I just said I am stillSlave, let me begIf I speak, won't I be the one being...Does being scolded by someone make you break out in a cold sweat?

After all, thisPeople with malicious hearts, I can't earn this money.

I hurryI shook my head, returned the money to him, and ran into the house. The man immediately grabbed me, whispered something in my ear, and then turned away.They left, but said they'd come back tomorrow; they left the money behind.

These few hundred yuan were a huge sum for me, an orphan. I hesitated. The man had only asked me to do a small favor, saying that I should...I can earn hundreds of dollars just by saying a few words, so of course I'm happy to do it. It's money I earned myself.

Thinking this way, I felt a little more at ease. I carefully put the money away, not wanting this dead man to...People saw it, and then went inside the house, where they saw the dead body.The person was sitting in a chair, looking down at something.The cabinet in front of me is huge; it looks like a money collection point.What skills do you have to charge money?

I really couldn't stand it, so I prepared to go back to my room and pack a few things.Go to the city center, rent a place, find a job to support yourself. It's okay to be young, as long as you dare to take the plunge.

I want this house.That's fine, at worst I'll come back in a few years when I'm older and strong enough to fight.ChaseI can just move out. The house will still be mine then. I'm still young, I don't want to...Common sense.

butShe looked up, and a pair of eyes, like black pearls, stared at me.As soon as he opened his mouth, a cold voice rang out, "Your nose is red, but your brow is conversely black. It's a clear sign that you've accepted ill-gotten gains. Tear the money up!"

"You..." I couldn't help but shudder.How did you know? Just now when I was collecting the money...I didn't see it.

"I earned it myself, why should I tear it up?" I said.I mustered the courage to retort, "If I use these few hundred yuan sparingly, it will be enough for me to find a place to live and eat for a long time. Why would I want to tear it up?"

"You earned it yourself? What right do you have to earn it? Even if you went to pick up trash, nobody would want you. What are you going to earn?" This dead man...The voice was cold, tinged with a sneer, "Tear up the money. I don't want to repeat myself a third time!"

He stood up as he spoke, his eyes fixed on m Yoe like a venomous snake, as if he wanted to devour me. I shuddered and wanted to immediately back down.He ran out in his clothes.

I earned the money myself, I won't tear it up!

"i***t!"

I just turned my head and...He ran, but heard...After saying one sentence, a hand grabbed my shoulder and directly...He turned me around, and I saw...Terrifying eyes stared at me.He raised his other hand and was about to slap me hard.I was afraid, but I remained stubborn.With facebeat.

Go ahead and hit me, kill me if you dare!

He stared at me for a second, then shoved me away with disgust. I fell to the ground, and the money fell out with me.He knelt down, picked up the money, and tore it up right in front of me.My eyes reddened when I saw the fragments.

"If I ever see you accept any ill-gotten gains again, even just one...""I'll chop off your hand!"

As I said this, I threw the pieces of money into the trash can. At that moment, I felt so wronged that I cried. I couldn't beat them.,They even tore up the money I had earned. I got up from the ground.

He has sat back down in his chair and continued watching.The thing in my hand, but the voice that I hated still came out, "Run, dare to run? I'll interrupt you right now."!

IWiping away her tears, she prepared to return to her room when she heard a cautious voice outside, "Li Xiuwen, Li Xiuwen..."

I remember that voice; it's my deskmate Ye Beibei's voice. Let me see this dead...One glance at a personLooking down and continuing to lookThey ignored me and rushed away.useThe clothes covered all the tear stains on her faceIt was clean, and then I went outside.

There's a girl outside with this little braid.The child is waving at me.Big eyes, very cute,He's from the same village as me, and I...We practically grew up together, always going to school and coming home together.SleepIt is the best in the worldchild.

"Ye Beibei, what brings you here?" I walked over, not daring to look.I haven't been to school for a long time, and no one is supporting my schooling anymore.

"Here, this is my saved allowance..." Ye Beibei pulled out a neat stack of small bills from her pocket.fiveIt probably costs tens or hundreds of yuan.An eleven-year-oldThe child doesn't know how long to store it.They handed it to me.

"If you run out of money, be sure to tell me. If you need more, come to the school to find me. (My stomach...)""Come to my house for dinner, okay?" Ye Beibei looked at me seriously and said it word by word, as if afraid I wouldn't hear her.

I justI tried to wipe away my tears, but now I feel like crying again. I'm busy returning them.I can't accept this money.He backed away, then waved at me as he ran, "I'm going back. Remember what I told you, if you need money, come find me at school..."

They'd already run far away when they started talking, and tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably. I turned around, holding the money...I went inside the house. I don't need this money; I'll return it.of.

This deathThe person looked up and stared at me, their eyes...The money was transferred to my hand, and I was terrified.She was about to tear up the money Ye Beibei had given me, so I hurried...He said it was given to him by his classmate.He said coldly, "Use this money to buy a wreath and send it to...""Go to our house."

"A wreath? A wreath for the dead?" I was stunned. Ye Beibei's family was perfectly fine, why would I send a wreath for the dead?Why didn't my mom grab a broom and beat me while yelling and kicking me out?

Do I need to repeat myself a second time?After saying this, he lowered his head and continued reading.Things.

I immediately refused. How could I deliver it? Wasn't that cursing someone in Ye Beibei's family to die? I simply said I wouldn't buy it, went back inside, closed the door, locked it, and crawled into bed to sleep. To my relief, the death...The annoying noises no longer came in.

I guess you know how to order things around.Me.

I'm naturally quite relaxed. I've already planned it out: if that guy comes again tomorrow, I'll take the opportunity to make a few hundred more dollars, then immediately take the money and run away. This damn...Who can control me? I'll come back to find this dead man in three or four years.People keep accounts!

Thinking about it this way, I drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.I woke up. I hadn't eaten all day, and I was really...I can't sleep, so I can onlyWith her belly protruding, she got out of bed, opened the door, and went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes.I ate the egg to fill my stomach, then carefully walked out and discovered the dead...The person has already gone back inside.

Yeah, it's 1 a.m. now, this death...Even the most capable person needs to sleep, right? Actually, it's the middle of the night, and I wanted to sneak in and...He fell asleep and hitHe paused, but as soon as the idea popped into his head, another image appeared in his mind.Those eyes, like those of a venomous snake, made me shudder immediately. I decided against it and hurried away.Let's fill our stomachs first.

When I got to the kitchen, I carefully lit a fire to boil water. We don't have a gas stove at home; we use firewood instead. I also think that food cooked with firewood tastes better. However, as soon as I lit the fire with straw and some matches, a gust of wind blew it out. I wondered, where did the wind come from in the kitchen?

I'm preparing to...With a match, I heard someone outside.I, one sound after anotherI immediately stood up; that voice...That's the voice of Ye Beibei's grandfather who brought me money today.

But why would Ye Beibei's grandfather come to see me in the middle of the night? Could it be that Ye Beibei's grandfather knows that Ye Beibei's money is gone and thinks that I cheated Ye Beibei out of money?

I was puzzled, but I still took the money Ye Beibei had given me out of my pocket and returned it to her. As I walked out of the kitchen, I saw an old man standing outside the fence at the door, waving at me. It was Ye Beibei's grandfather, but today was...It was so big that it made Grandpa Ye Beibei's face look a bit pale.

I hurryI walked over and asked curiously, "Grandpa Bei, what brings you here?"

But halfway through my sentence, I suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and...He ran into the house, and then died.People bang loudly on the door of the room they live in.,"dieA person dies"Come out quickly, there's a ghost outside! I saw a ghost..."
