Chapter 1456 Commission From the World of Old Acquaintances 17
Chapter 1456 Commission from the world of old acquaintances 17
Aunt He didn't take their words to heart because she was worried about family affairs. Today, she went to the market town to get medicine for her son and daughter-in-law - no matter what, even if she knew that drinking these ordinary medicines would not work, she still went to buy them, as if this could make her feel more at ease.
On the way back, I happened to meet two other neighbors, and they went together.
They were used to going the other way before, but this time the two neighbors suggested this one.
Although this road seems to be a bit of a detour, a new tea shed was built on the way, and there is a place to rest your feet, where you can drink tea and rest.
She was also physically and mentally exhausted at the time, so she followed her two neighbors to the tea shed to have a rest and drink a bowl of tea.
The tea is fragrant and refreshing at the entrance, and it is indeed as the neighbor said, it makes people feel tired.
However, Aunt He's real heart knot is not her body, but her son and daughter-in-law.
So when the pale and skinny shopkeeper Hemu said "commission", she couldn't help asking... Then she actually came to this small house.
In a momentary trance of thoughts, Aunt He heard the woman's gentle and slightly low voice: "I already know about your situation. This is our contract. If you have no doubts, sign it."
Entrustment contract:
Client: Aunt He
Entrusted by: Qingu
Commissioning requirements: Rescue Second Aunt He's daughter-in-law
Task reward: 5 soul stones
Mission failure penalty: deduct 10 soul stones
Qingu saw that the opponent's merit value was only 16, so the reward for the task was 5 soul stones, so that he would not take away the opponent's "old money".
If you don't make any contribution for the rest of your life, at least you still have capital to enter the underworld.
If the task fails, the commissioner's reward will be refunded, and at the same time, she herself will be punished by the same amount of money from Heaven.
5 soul stones are basically the "cost price" for her. Just now, the hut used energy to transmit a ray of her soul, and it cost one energy. I will definitely consume some more in the mission later...
Qingu's principle is that the soul stone can earn a little less, but it must not make a loss-making business and take itself into it.
Speaking of Second Aunt He's side, she only felt that she had just entered the hut to explain her purpose, when the female shopkeeper grabbed something out of thin air and put it in front of her.
Second Aunt He took a closer look and saw that it was a piece of light blue paper with many words written on it.
She is not literate, but she has an inexplicable "familiar" feeling to these words, as if she knew the meaning of them naturally in her mind.
What soul stones, missions, contracts...
Subconsciously, he felt that this contract was fair: because it said above, if the other party did not complete the task, he would have no loss, and the other party would suffer double the punishment.
The female shopkeeper reminded in that still soft voice: "If you agree, click on it. If you don't agree, you can leave now, as if nothing happened just now."
"Agree, agree..." Second Aunt He nodded hurriedly, tentatively stretched out her hand a little cautiously, and asked, "Well... how do I... press" the fingerprint?
Qingu said: "Just put your palm on this piece of paper."
As Second Aunt He's palm landed on the strange paper, the whole paper began to disappear with her palm as the center, turning into dots of light and dissipating in the air.
Ah, this...
The female shopkeeper comforted softly: "It's okay, you will go back later, and your daughter-in-law will wake up."
The people chatting outside saw with their own eyes that Aunt He entered the strange hut, and came out again in less than a bag of cigarettes.
People quickly asked: "Second Aunt He was rescued so quickly? Did the shopkeeper tell you how to save your daughter-in-law?"
"By the way, what's it like inside? I vaguely remember that every time I come here to drink tea, the door of that hut is closed. What do you say you always close the door in broad daylight?"
"People like to keep the door closed, what's in the way?"
Everyone was talking and unknowingly changed the topic again.
On the other hand, Second Aunt He, she felt as if she had forgotten something. She felt that what she saw clearly and clearly remembered in the hut just now, why did she forget it in a blink of an eye when she went out?
She forgot the specific content of the contract, and even forgot to sign the contract.
She only knew that she had indeed "taken" something to that shopkeeper Gu, and then shopkeeper Gu told her to go home directly, and her daughter-in-law would wake up...
Forget it, no matter what it is, she can still walk now, and she has a lot of things on her body... Let's go back and have a look first.
As he spoke, he ignored everyone's eagerness and hurried away with his back on his back.
The two neighbors saw that Aunt He was leaving in such a hurry, so they also finished the rest of the tea, put down the copper, and hurriedly followed.
While walking, I didn't forget to ask about the situation in Aunt He's hut, but Aunt He really didn't remember, and always felt that everything was in a daze.
"...I just remember that shopkeeper Nagu told me that if I go back now, my daughter-in-law should be able to wake up..."
The two neighbors looked at her with disbelieving "you've been cheated" expressions: "The shopkeeper Gu didn't say that he would go home with you and have a look? I'm afraid he didn't lie to you, did he?"
"Yeah, take a look and see if there's anything missing from you?"
Second Aunt He hurriedly said: "Nothing is missing, nothing is missing on me... I should hurry on my way. I have been out for a long time, and I am really worried about letting two boys look after the house..." She didn't take that strange thing seriously. Say what you feel. Her only thought now is to go home as soon as possible.
Besides, after Qingu formally signed the contract with Second Aunt He and sent the other party out of the room, the soul guarding Second Aunt He's house on the other side immediately started to act.
At this moment, the strand of soul from Qingu was standing in a room, besides the original bed against the inner wall, an extra bed was built on the other side.
Lying on the two beds is a woman with a face as white as paper and a young man with a face as ashen ashes. They are Aunt He's daughter-in-law Mei Zi and her son Baosheng.
The main reason for separating the two is to facilitate care, such as feeding, watering and wiping the body.
In Qingu's field of vision, Baosheng's body still had weak magnetic field fluctuations of life, but there was no breath of soul.
However, Meizi's situation on the big bed was very complicated. I saw a bunch of black shadows on her body pulling into a ball.
It is vaguely seen that there are three souls fighting fiercely... Three, one soul is Meizi's own, one is a foreign ghost, and the other is Baosheng's soul. Did Baosheng leave the body and come to Meizi?
Because several souls are very weak at the moment, it is impossible to tell who is who.
Just when Qingu was about to separate the three souls directly, he found that the situation was more complicated than it seemed.
