"No wonder everyone wants to be an official. Even a village head can embezzle more than 500 taels of silver. If I were him, I would also want to be a village head."
After despising the village head's embezzlement in her heart, Jiujiu happily took the village head's money, rode the village head's donkey, and rushed to the nearest county town.
Because they set off late, it was already night when they arrived at the county town.
Because she had more than 500 taels of silver from the village head, Jiujiu was extraordinarily rich. She booked two superior rooms and ordered a table full of special delicacies.
Although they did not suffer much in the village, the cooking skills of the village women were no match for that of the chef of the hotel. Jiujiu and Qing Feng were very satisfied with the meal.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Jiujiu was fine. She took a nap and fell asleep, but Qing Feng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It seemed that as long as he closed his eyes, the scene of Jiujiu leaning on him appeared in front of him.
Jiujiu's body was so soft that it was as if she didn't have a single bone in her body. Just like that, she leaned against his body. The fragrance of Jiujiu's body wafted over along with her breathing. His heart couldn't help but start beating violently.
The bed was very soft, but Qing Feng did not sleep all night. When he came out of the room the next morning, there were two big dark circles around his eyes. People who did not know him would think that he went to steal a piglet last night.
Looking at the dark circles under Qing Feng's eyelids, Jiujiu was very surprised. "You didn't sleep well last night?"
That shouldn't be the case. She had specially booked two of the best rooms last night. She shouldn't have slept well. Why didn't she sleep well?
Last night, he thought about Jiujiu all night, so he did not sleep well. At this moment, being asked by Jiujiu, Qing Feng's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and dared not to look at Jiujiu, looking shy.
Looking at Qing Feng's blushing face, Jiujiu twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qing Feng shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Let's eat."
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like something was wrong.
However, since Qing Feng didn't want to tell her, Jiujiu didn't bother to ask, so she followed Qing Feng to have dinner.
After the meal, the two checked out of the house and prepared to buy horses and carriages.
The two of them had enough money, so it was naturally impossible for them to walk to the capital.
However, riding a horse was too tiring, and Jiujiu's delicate body couldn't bear it at all. After thinking about it, a carriage was more practical.
He bought a good carriage and covered it with a thick carpet. Lying on it was like lying on clouds. No matter how bumpy it was, it was as if he didn't feel anything.
Soon, the two bought two horses and a carriage. Then they went to buy some bedding, a change of clothes, and snacks on the road. Then they set off directly.
Qing Feng drove the carriage in front. Jiujiu sat in the comfortable carriage that she asked people to arrange. Leaning against the soft cushion, she looked at the female ghost opposite her and asked in surprise, "Your wish has been fulfilled. Why haven't you dissipated?"
After people died, their souls would drift into the River of Forgetfulness. After drinking Granny Meng's Soup, they would enter the reincarnation cycle again.
Of course, there were also some people who didn't want to reincarnate because of their obsession. They were the ghosts that people talked about.
The longer a ghost drifted in the human world, the weaker his soul power would be. The day when his soul power was exhausted was the day his soul dissipated.
The female ghost was full of resentment. Although she didn't stay here for a long time, her hands were stained with blood, which would accelerate the dissipation of her soul power. Normally, after she killed the village head and Zhu Laosan and took revenge, her soul would disperse.
However.
Looking at the intact female ghost standing in front of her and even her body became solid, Jiujiu was very confused.
Shouldn't the female ghost's soul dissipate? Why was she still alive? Was it because the female ghost's resentment was so strong that she had a momentary recovery of consciousness like a person?
However, of all the people she could look for, why did she look for him?
Did she want to thank her for avenging her?
Jiujiu looked up and down at the female ghost. Although Jiujiu didn't say a word, the female ghost who had been angered by Jiujiu many times saw through Jiujiu's eyes.
The female ghost's gloomy face became gloomier because of anger, and her dark eyes almost emitted sparks.
The female ghost ground her molars and asked Jiujiu, "Do you want me to dissipate so much?"
Jiujiu stuffed the dried fruit in her hand into her mouth and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm just curious. Your wish has been fulfilled, so your soul should be dissipated."
The words "dissipated" completely enraged the female ghost. The resentment of the female ghost spread out freely. If Jiujiu didn't quickly ask Little White to add a Bounded Domain to the carriage, Qing Feng would have sensed the existence of the female ghost.
Jiujiu, who was smiling mischievously, sat up directly, looked at the female ghost with sharp eyes, and warned, "If you dare to make trouble like this again, I'll kill you."
The female ghost, who was aggressive, suddenly became a little quail under Jiujiu's fierce eyes. She sat in the corner with an aggrieved face and didn't say a word.
Seeing that the female ghost was obedient, Jiujiu asked Little White to remove the Bounded Domain. She looked at the female ghost and asked, "Why are you following me?"
The female ghost said, "I have nowhere to go."
"So you follow me?" Jiujiu rolled her eyes, "Where's your family? Why don't you go to your family? "
Hearing Jiujiu mention her family, the female ghost's face turned cold, and her voice became a little bleak, "They handed me to the village head and Zhu Laosan."
If the village head and Zhu Laosan were the executioners, the female ghost's family was the one who put her on the execution platform.
Jiujiu looked at the female ghost with sympathy in her eyes. She sighed and said, "The little monk and I are going to the capital. If you want, you can go with us."
After that, Jiujiu glanced at the female ghost with a sad face and asked, "Do you want to go to the capital?"
The female ghost, who had been defeated by Jiujiu, was stunned when she heard Jiujiu ask her if she wanted to go to the capital. Then she sat opposite Jiujiu and asked Jiujiu curiously, "I heard that the capital is the place where the Emperor lives?"
Jiujiu threw the food into her mouth and said while chewing, "Kind of."
The capital was the place where the Emperor lived. However, there was only one capital, while there could be many Emperors.
The female ghost, who didn't know what Jiujiu meant, was curious. Her lifeless eyes became a little more lively. She looked at Jiujiu and said excitedly, "I heard that the roads in the capital are paved with gold. Is it true?"
Jiujiu: "…"
After a moment of silence, Jiujiu looked at the female ghost and said, "Who told you that the roads in the capital are paved with gold?"
