Chapter 1 You smell so good! It must be delicious!
Liuhuai Village, at the easternmost point.
Backed by mountains shrouded in mist.
There was only one wooden house at the foot of the mountain, with a large yard.
The house is some distance from the village, giving it a sense of being isolated from the world.
"Ninth Girl, here's twenty yuan. When you go out to buy candy, bring back a pack of cigarettes for Grandpa."
Sitting in a recliner by the door, a middle-aged man pulled a crumpled twenty-yuan note from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit jacket.
He waved to a little girl with pigtails not far away.
The girl sitting in the pile of talismans suddenly looked up, her fair face bearing the red marks left by cinnabar: "Ah?"
"Come."
"Coming!"
Little Jiu Jiu suddenly stood up and ran over excitedly.
Holding twenty yuan, Xiao Jiu smiled and asked, "Grandpa, what kind of cigarettes do you want to smoke today?"
"China!"
The person in the rocking chair had a strong voice and bright eyes.
Little Nine-Nine: ...
Before she could speak, Liu Huai added, "Whatever you do, don't buy fakes! That pack of cigarettes I had last time smelled moldy!"
"Meow!"
A cat's meow was heard.
The black cat perched on the table rolled its eyes at him.
Little Jiu Jiu couldn't help but retort, "Grandpa, you can't buy a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes for twenty yuan? You're dreaming!"
At least...
She counted on her chubby hands, then held up four fingers: "Forty!"
"Meow!" The cat next to him echoed.
[Trying to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes for just twenty yuan? Thinks he's some kind of emperor!]
Liu Huai choked for a moment, then glared at his grandfather and said, "Ninth girl! How dare you speak to your grandfather like that!"
And you, you coal ball, were you secretly cursing me again?
Xiao Jiu Jiu made a face at him: "Coal Ball, let's go."
"Meow~"
[Let's go!]
The coal ball disappeared in a flash.
Before it had gone far, Coal Ball suddenly seemed to sense something.
It stopped and turned around to walk towards Liu Huai.
Liu Huai, lying on the recliner, had closed his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.
You're going to die.
Coal Ball squatted in front of Liu Huai, sitting elegantly.
Liu Huai smiled and said, "I've made all the arrangements. I'll leave Jiu Yatou in your care."
Arriving at the village store, Xiao Jiujiu familiarly grabbed a packet of Double Happiness cigarettes: "Red, festive!"
"Uncle, the bill, please!"
A chubby, fair hand tugged at the cash register, and Xiao Jiu Jiu tiptoed to place a pack of cigarettes on the glass display case.
The owner is a young man who opened a small shop in the village after graduating.
Business is very good.
The village children all like to buy spicy snacks here.
The boss, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, glanced at it.
Upon seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette, popped a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, and said, "You're here to buy cigarettes for Master Liu again, Jiu Jiu. You're so filial."
Liu Huai is someone the villagers all revere.
When people need their feng shui consulted or to find an auspicious date, they would all go to him for advice.
Little Nine-Nine is someone we've all watched grow up.
"Grandpa said smoking more cigarettes contributes to the weapons~" Xiao Jiujiu took out twenty yuan and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Haha, Master Liu is so carefree!"
The boss accepted the money with a smile.
Just as I was about to put it in the drawer, my smile instantly froze on my face.
"Ninth Girl! This money..."
The boss's voice trembled, and his face showed signs of panic: "Where did you get this money from?"
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Jiu Jiu took the money back: "This was given to me by my grandfather."
She stared at the money in front of her, showing no sign of anything amiss.
The boss, trembling, lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
After pausing for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Ninth Girl, this money is dead people's money!"
Why would Master Liu give Jiu Yatou ghost money!
Xiao Jiujiu waved the money in front of her: "Uncle, this is RMB, how could it be ghost money!"
“Really, this is from Tiandi Bank.” The boss pointed to one of the locations.
But in Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes, everything was normal.
She composed herself, looking at her boss with a grave expression, and felt a chill run down her spine: "Uncle, are you kidding me?"
"No kidding."
The boss was a little scared and cautiously glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu's expression.
"I understand, I don't need this cigarette anymore." Xiao Jiu Jiu put down the cigarette and was about to run out.
The boss immediately shouted, "Hey, Ninth Girl, take this with you. Consider it my treat to Master Liu's cigarettes!"
He put down the Double Happiness cigarettes, turned around, took a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the glass display case behind him, and handed it to Xiao Jiujiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head: "Thank you, Uncle, but no need."
She needs to figure out what's going on!
"Ninth Girl!"
The boss called out twice, but Xiao Jiu Jiu had already disappeared.
Under the locust tree at the village entrance, Xiao Jiujiu looked at the money in front of her and frowned: "Is this a trick?"
"All things were in chaos, but...it has been broken!"
With a crisp crack, the money in front of them changed, and even the surrounding air seemed to cool down a few degrees.
Just then, a cold hand landed on her shoulder.
Those grayish-blue fingers were long and slender, with red nail polish on them.
Her fingernails lightly traced her smooth cheek, and a chilling voice rang out: "Little Jiu Jiu, you smell so good~ You must taste delicious, right?"
This is ridiculous!
Xiao Jiu Jiu frowned and turned around.
He went straight at the enemy's face and unleashed his ultimate attack!
"Hee hee~"
The woman with a pale, ashen face clung to Xiao Jiu Jiu's shoulder.
Her face was covered in mottled bloodstains, and her eye sockets were empty, only darkness visible.
Dark red blood flowed from the woman's seven orifices, and her mouth was stretched wide, revealing a sinister smile.
"Hello, Little Nine-Nine~"
"ill!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu's voice was clear and crisp, and the female ghost paused for a moment.
Immediately, her face contorted, and she clenched her hands into claws: "Little Nine-Nine~"
"Snapped!"
Before the female ghost could finish speaking, Xiao Jiujiu took out a talisman from her pocket and stuck it on her forehead.
At this moment, her little face was stern, her expression calm: Calm down! Grandpa taught me all of this, no problem!
A burning sensation swept through my entire body.
"what!"
A sharp, piercing scream rang out, and the female ghost vanished instantly.
Little Jiu Jiu gave a soft snort, her fair face full of smugness:
"Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I learned my skills from my grandfather. How dare a ghost with such meager abilities show its face!"
After the female ghost disappeared, Xiao Jiu Jiu took the money that had returned to normal and went back to buy a pack of Shuang Xi cigarettes and a lollipop.
After walking a few steps out of the convenience store, Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
A nameless panic and sense of injustice welled up inside me.
Her little hands clutched the front of her clothes, and tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
A feeling of dizziness washed over me, and fragments of thoughts flashed through my mind.
"grandfather!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu yelled, looked up sharply, and immediately ran home.
Those images reappeared.
The gray-haired man lay down on Grandpa's bed.
The man was emaciated and lifeless.
"Ninth Girl, what's wrong?"
Passersby only saw Xiao Jiu Jiu running wildly.
"Huh~"
Xiao Jiujiu ran to the gate of the courtyard, panting heavily.
Before she could catch her breath, she suddenly stopped.
There are people in the yard!
As soon as she pushed open the courtyard gate, her face immediately turned cold.
"who are you?"
There were more than a dozen bodyguards dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses standing in the courtyard.
The bodyguard's employer, dressed in a suit and tie, looked to be in his early twenties with an elegant hairstyle and a dignified air: "You must be Master Liu's granddaughter, Ninth Girl?"
Little Jiu Jiu asked anxiously, "Where's my grandpa?"
She was blocked by tall men, and she couldn't help but look towards the house.
This is incredible.
The house exuded an aura of death.
The man shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Liu has already passed away."
The assistant beside her continued, "Hello, Ms. Liu, we were notified to come and collect the master's body."
The master has already entrusted you to our General Manager Ye.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face. "I don't want to go with you, I want Grandpa!"
