Zhang Wei's response.
Qian Chengping was momentarily stunned. Finally, someone was willing to help him. He nodded repeatedly and replied:
"Yes, yes, to Chun Tian Xiao Qu, that's Chun for spring, Tian for weather, Chun Tian Xiao Qu."
"I haven't been to this complex."
Zhang Wei heard this and took out his phone:
"But it's okay, Uncle, I'll check it for you on my phone."
Not long after.
Zhang Wei found the address and instructed Qian Chengping on how to get there.
Qian Chengping was grateful, "Thank you, young man. So you can check addresses like this on your phone? I just found out. No wonder my son insisted on getting me a new one, saying phones are very convenient now."
"It seems I need to study my phone when I get back this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to ask people for directions like this. I could just look it up on my phone. It's really convenient."
In his words.
He thanked Zhang Wei again, "Young man, thank you so much for helping me check."
"You're too kind, Uncle. It's no trouble."
Zhang Wei waved his hand.
"Speaking of which, Uncle, judging by your accent, you're not from around here, are you?"
"Yes, I'm from Wenling. I came to Luxia City this time to see my son. My son works in Luxia City."
When it came to his children, like most elders, Qian Chengping was no exception. He couldn't stop talking, praising his son, saying he worked in Luxia City and even married a wife there.
"Your son is very capable, Uncle. The job you mentioned, Sales Supervisor, being promoted to Sales Supervisor at thirty is not easy."
"Is that so? Is being a Sales Supervisor really that impressive?"
Zhang Wei nodded noncommittally and briefly explained to Qian Chengping what a Sales Supervisor was.
Qian Chengping was overjoyed upon hearing this, almost writing his pride on his face.
But it was only for a moment.
He quickly showed a worried expression:
"Being a Sales Supervisor is good, but it must be very tiring."
"Yes, it's very tiring," Zhang Wei explained to Qian Chengping.
Qian Chengping sighed upon hearing this:
"So it's that troublesome. No wonder when I called my son yesterday, he complained a lot. I'm a farmer, and I don't really understand what these jobs entail. I even told my son to change jobs, just causing him trouble and annoyance."
Saying this, Qian Chengping stopped chatting and hurried to find his son to help him recuperate.
Before leaving, Qian Chengping did not forget to thank Zhang Wei again and offered him some vegetables tied to his back.
Zhang Wei smiled and refused.
"Brother Wei."
Li Junfei's voice sounded.
Zhang Wei withdrew his gaze from Qian Chengping's departing figure and turned back to look.
He saw that at some point, Li Junfei and Fatty had gotten out of a taxi and were waving to him.
"Brother Wei, didn't expect it, did you? We're here so quickly."
Li Junfei jogged over:
"By the way, Brother Wei, what were you standing here for just now?"
"Nothing much, an uncle asked me for directions, and I was giving him directions."
"Huh??"
Li Junfei looked confused, looking around:
"Uncle? Where?"
In his words.
Li Junfei's confusion was undisguised. In his eyes, there was no one around Zhang Wei.
Even.
When they were driving over just now and looked through the car window, there was no one around Zhang Wei. They only saw Zhang Wei standing there, as if performing a play, talking to himself.
Moreover, let alone an uncle, the closest person to Zhang Wei was several meters away, and it was a female office worker.
"The uncle is over there. He just left."
Zhang Wei casually pointed in a direction.
In his sight, Qian Chengping had already walked far away, leaving only a small receding figure.
Li Junfei was completely bewildered, "Just left? How come I didn't see anyone?"
Through his line of sight.
He looked in the direction Zhang Wei pointed. The road there was empty, with no one at all.
In response.
Zhang Wei seemed unsurprised. He patted Li Junfei's shoulder and said with a slow smile,
"You definitely wouldn't see anyone, because... I didn't say that uncle was a person."
"Ah?!"
Li Junfei was so scared he almost swore.
Not a person?
Could it be...
He quickly reacted, his pupils contracting, and a chill ran down his spine.
A ghost!
Brother Wei was talking to a ghost just now.
Immediately.
Li Junfei quickly asked, "Brother Wei, did you see a ghost in broad daylight? Was that uncle a ghost?"
He didn't notice that while he was asking Zhang Wei...
Fatty beside him was also looking in the direction Zhang Wei pointed.
However.
Unlike Li Junfei.
In his line of sight, the road over there was not empty. Instead, there was a figure.
It was a person whose flesh and blood were blurred. Judging by the hair clutched in their hand, it could be determined that it was a middle-aged man nearing old age, an uncle.
The person's flesh and blood were blurred.
In one hand, he carried a bloody, incomplete headless hen.
In the other hand, he carried a bundle of blood-stained vegetables.
Most chilling were the legs.
Both legs were unnaturally twisted, with bones exposed to the air. Those legs... a normal person would not only be unable to walk but would have already died from unbearable pain and screams.
However.
That figure was striding away on those legs, limping.
Watching him leave.
Fatty's eyes flickered, "A ghost who doesn't know it's dead and is still doing what it did in life."
As he murmured,
Li Junfei's voice came from the side.
Li Junfei seemed to have thought of something and quickly said,
"Brother Wei, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered something. When I took a taxi here earlier, I was chatting with the driver, and he told me that there was a car accident here a few days ago."
"He said it was a truck driver driving at night when the accident happened."
"But he said it might not have been an accident."
"He said, because he's also a driver, he has more insider information. He heard that after the truck driver hit someone, he explained to the police that he wasn't driving due to fatigue, nor was it a vehicle malfunction."
"Instead, he saw someone suddenly appear on the road, and he swerved to avoid that person."
"However, the police thought he was hallucinating due to fatigue."
"Brother Wei, do you think the truck driver saw a ghost?"
Li Junfei couldn't help but think.
After all, there was a bizarre car accident here a few days ago, and now Zhang Wei was seeing ghosts. It was hard not to connect the dots.
Inevitably.
Li Junfei lowered his voice and said,
"Brother Wei, do you think the ghost you encountered is the same ghost the driver saw?"
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei glanced at Li Junfei and said leisurely, "I don't know, but whether it's the ghost the driver saw, we might find out tonight."
...
That night.
Luxia City, Chunhua Road intersection.
After having dinner with Li Junfei and Fatty, Zhang Wei returned to the intersection.
He picked up his phone and checked the time.
At this moment.
It was 8:11 PM.
Looking at the passing vehicles and then up at the night sky, Zhang Wei took a sip of his nutritional drink:
"A dark and windy night, and the yin energy is quite heavy. It's a night suitable for killing."
