Chapter 44: Poor and Solitary

Li Erpao's appearance shocked Xie Xiaozhang.

"Yesterday's battle with the Ghost Infant made him too overdrawn."

Xie Heng sighed.

Sometimes even he feels the fragility of human life, and it seems so difficult to resist in the face of real disaster.

Li Erpao should be nearly forty years old, which is not considered young among ghost masters.

Coupled with yesterday's wave of overdraft, if the ghost body in the body cannot be recovered in time, I am afraid that I will not survive for long.

However, Xie Heng only went through these next words in his mind and did not say them to Xie Xiaozhang.

"It's not a big deal, I was seriously injured yesterday. But Gui Gong is down, so I should be able to take some time off. Sit tight!"

"Today I will take you to visit the den of our Xudu Ghost Control Team... ahem, stronghold."

"Ordinary free ghost masters will never get this kind of treatment!"

Li Erpao joked while holding the steering wheel.

Although he and Xie Xiaozhang had just met each other not long ago, they had experienced battles together after all, and they could be considered life-or-death acquaintances.

The car started, Li Erpao stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards the road. The speed was absolutely romantic for men.

After driving for about half an hour, Li Erpao drove into an old villa area.

Xie Xiaozhang had never passed by this place before, so he lay on the window and looked out curiously.

The houses here seem to be of a very old age, with two or three-story independent courtyards, some are large and some are small.

After entering the community, a huge willow tree is placed in the middle of the entrance road, and there are adults and children taking a walk beside it. It is more like a leisure and retirement area.

But it would be wrong to think so. Although Xie Xiaozhang doesn't know much about cars, Xie Heng has seen a lot in the past two days!

At a quick glance, none of the cars at the door had a price of seven figures!The designated status of living here is not easy!
After walking around for a while, Li Erpao finally parked the car at the door of a three-story villa that was far away from other villas and seemed to be independently opened.

"We're here, get off the car!"

Li Erpao turned off the engine and opened the car door.

When Xie Heng and Xie Xiaozhang came down from the door, they saw a small enclosed courtyard.

There are wooden stakes for practice, wooden boards, some fitness equipment, and even some farm tools mixed in at the door.

Above, there are grapevines, which are responsible for blocking the sun.

Xie Heng and Xie Xiaozhang looked at each other and sighed: "Our decoration is quite unique, huh?"

"Because of the special nature of our unit, the appearance of ghosts was not that numerous at the beginning, so at that time not many people recognized or feared us."

"Considering the impact, this house was allocated by the ghost control team that was just formed in Xudu City. Later, they also said that we could apply for a change and give us a whole luxurious office building or something. But we are used to it, so we didn't change it."

"This place is nice, quiet, and comfortable to live in. It's a good place to die."

Li Erpao saw Xie Xiaozhang's surprised expression, so he explained.

Xie Xiaozhang nodded. Even the appearance of the Ghost Control Team was not recognized by others at the beginning.

Xie Heng walked in front. There was a door in the yard leading to the house.

There is a bamboo curtain hanging on the door, rolled up into a circle, with a red rope in the middle, and copper coins with square holes tied to the red rope, which can be stuck in the gaps of the bamboo curtain so that the bamboo curtain cannot fall down.

Xie Xiaozhang followed Xie Heng to the front and asked curiously: "Agent Li, what is this again?"

"This is purely mosquito-proof."

Li Erpao opened the door. The stone threshold inside the door was about half as high as a calf.

There are three more rooster bowls on the stone threshold.Li Erpao smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said: "I'm not surprised, the nature of the unit is special, so the defense is a little tighter."

It didn't feel so complicated before as long as they entered and exited by themselves.

As soon as there was someone next to me, I felt embarrassed.

Li Erpao leaned down and opened the three chicken bowls one by one. Only then did Xie Heng see that there was a word printed on the bottom of each chicken bowl.

They are 'poor', 'Yao' and 'Gu'.

After the three rooster bowls were opened, they slowly floated up.

The middle is high, the two ends are low, and a girl-like ghost appears.

A chubby little face, small facial features, and red rouge on her cheeks.

Wearing a small bellyband covering her body, her feet were bare, and if she took a wrong step, she would step on her two long, thick braids that would drag on the ground.

One hand on the left and right is holding a cock bowl, and another hand grows between the hair on the head, grabbing the last cock bowl.

With an iron chain tied around his neck, after seeing Li Erpao, although he couldn't speak, he still happily came forward and nuzzled him, like a housekeeping kitten.

"There are many types of ghosts, and they may not all kill people."

"In this era, every ghost master is unfortunate. The types of ghosts that awaken are different, and one of them must be poor and orphaned. Of course, the most common among all are the young."

"This little devil is different. She has all three things, so I call her Pong Yao Gu and Xiao Yao. Xiao Gu can do anything, but she only doesn't like Pong."

"Don't be afraid. She doesn't harm or eat anyone. As long as no strangers except us touch her three bowls, it's fine. So she's suitable for guarding."

Li Erpao rubbed Xiaoyao's chin lovingly.

Xie Xiaozhang's eyes were filled with stars. It seemed that except for his grandpa Zeng, not all ghosts were so ugly.

Xiaoyao has an extra hand on her head, and her little face is so chubby and cute.

Xie Xiaozhang couldn't put it down when he touched Xiaoyao and the thick braids as thick as her wrists. This enviable amount of hair...

"Be careful! If other ghost masters touch her...eh? That's weird."

Li Erpao said half of his words, but he didn't expect Xie Xiaozhang to take action directly.

Originally, he wanted to say that Xiaoyao didn't like other strange ghost masters besides the ghost master team touching her.

As a result, Xiaoyao didn't look like he was rejecting Xie Xiaozhang at all. He raised the bowl and rubbed it against her body.

Such a cute look made Xie Xiaozhang’s heart melt!
How could such a beautiful existence be able to have all three of them: "poverty", "yao" and "gu".

"Okay, okay, let's go in first. Mr. Jiang and the others should be waiting."

Li Erpao scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face. Did Xiao Yao recognize the person by his face?I won't dare to use her as a doorkeeper again in the future.

Xie Xiaozhang nodded. Right now, business was more important. He had to hurry up and get the ghost tribute to help Grandpa Zeng recover his arm.

Xiaoyao automatically stepped aside and watched eagerly as Xie Xiaozhang and the others walked through the door.

Li Erpao walked in front, introducing the layout of the house to Xie Xiaozhang.

After walking halfway, Xie Xiaozhang realized that Grandpa Zeng had not followed him and looked back.

They found that Xie Heng was still standing outside the door, while Xiao Yao was lying on the ground, smelling something, and bared her teeth in the direction where Xie Heng was standing.

However, because of the chain, she was forced to stay at the door and could not go out.

"To block ghosts but not people? Security is not comprehensive enough."

Xie Heng lifted the back of Xiao Yao's neck like a chicken, grabbed the three bowls, and pushed them back calmly.
