Chapter Fifty-Five: The Ghost With a Severed Tongue

nto two groups.Jian Xiangdi ordered twenty-five ghosts to remove the hill behind them and clear the weeds from the fields where strawberries, watermelons, and grapes were planted.Liang Zi Shu had ten...In the bustling underworld market, a group of ghosts gathered once again to discuss gossip. As always, the topic was the newly arrived stationmaster at Huangquan Station.

Every new manager in the underworld will be scrutinized for a very long time by their subordinates until all their gossip is uncovered.

Only then will they switch to another ghost cricket.

Have you heard Now go to Huangquan Station to pick up express delivery, if you help the stationmaster with errands, you can get spirit fruit to eat!

"How did I hear that the new stationmaster is a fierce and intimidating person, forcing the ghosts to work"

"Yeah, I heard the same thing. Apparently, if you don't work hard enough, she'll kill you."

"I saw Chen Qiang, who went to pick up the express delivery yesterday, his mouth is all broken."

A hush fell over the crowd of ghosts.

So did he file a complaint

Of course, I filed a complaint and am still waiting for the results.

"It's terrifying, I'm afraid to even go get the package now. My mouth is so messed up, how long will it take to heal"

A greasy-haired ghost hurriedly took out a mirror and looked at his face to make sure it was unharmed.

He blinked his eyes hard at the mirror, he couldn't let such a handsome face be ruined.

Just as a group of ghosts were discussing the new stationmaster of the Huangquan Station, a different voice emerged from the crowd of ghosts.

"That's not right!"

Everyone looked at the ghost who was speaking.

Stationmaster Yang Fan is not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, she's a good person. She makes ghosts do work in exchange for payment, and the payment is spirit fruit.

The ghost speaking was Xiao Jing. Yang Fan asked her to help with the promotion, so he seriously helped promote it.

"She can still help us send the package to the human world!"

The others fell silent for a second, then all chimed in with a sharp "Cut!".

Any ghost who has spent a little time in the underworld knows this rule of Huangquan Station.

---Huangquan Express, only accepts delivery.

Throughout history, no stationmaster has ever broken this rule.

The new stationmaster saying he will send them express delivery is like Meng Po agreeing they can cross the Nai He Bridge without drinking Meng Po soup – it's just ridiculous.

"Everyone knows that Huang Quan Express only accepts but doesn't send, little brother, you wouldn't be one of the two ghost servants from Huang Quan Express, would you~"

That greasy-haired, noodle-headed male ghost sashayed up to Xiao Jing's face, "Little brother~ you're so handsome, why would you even consider becoming a ghost…"

His voice stopped, his expression showing some surprise, "Huh You're not Gui Nu."

He didn't detect the ghost slave mark on Xiao Jing.

This male ghost's cheap makeup smelled so pungent that Xiao Jing retreated several steps before speaking to him from afar.

"I'm not a worker for Huangquan Express, just an ordinary ghost."

"Xiao Jing: “Yesterday Yang Fan, the station master, sent a package to my friend in the human world. If you don't believe me, you can ask Huang Quan Express."

All the ghosts in the audience fell silent again, and then their laughter grew louder.

"I'm familiar with this fishing enforcement tactic."

"Haha... "

The male ghost with greasy hair and noodles covering his face giggled, covering his mouth. "Little brother, you're so adorable~"

He rushed towards Xiao Jing and gave him a flying kiss, scaring the other to take several steps back. He was disgusted by it and his whole body started to get goosebumps.

All the ghosts burst into laughter and started gossiping about other ghosts.

They are the underworld's intelligence hub, knowing all the juicy gossip and scandals of the ghosts.

"It's said that Li Feng, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Hei Ming, took another concubine yesterday!"

"

Where are the Four Heavenly Kings now One of them has already passed away.

"

"Oh my, which room is this already"

"Sixteenth room, right"

"This ghost must have been forced by him again!"

"I heard it's not the case. It seems like it's a female ghost who is being arranged to marry someone in the afterlife."

"That's not forced, though."

"...."

Seeing that they didn't believe him, Xiao Jing wasn't angry. He stood still and listened to their gossip for a while. When he found it boring, he was about to leave.

He hadn't taken two steps outside when he was stopped by a thin, sickly-looking female ghost wearing a patient's gown.

The female ghost had disheveled hair and an anxious expression, her hands waving frantically as if trying to ask him something.

Xiao Jing was patient and let her go slowly. He couldn't understand what she was writing when she went too fast.

The female ghost drew a box shape in the air with her hands, then pointed her fingers toward the underworld gate.

A box... Could it be a delivery

Xiao Jing guessed, "Are you asking me to help you pick up the delivery"

The female ghost shook her head and repeated the action.

Xiao Jing thought for a few seconds, and then asked again, "Are you asking if I'm really the one who sent the package"

The female ghost nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what she means!"

She wants to send a package!

Xiao Jing smiled and said to her, "You can send it. Go to Huangquan Station and find Stationmaster Yang Fan, she can help you send express mail to your relatives or friends in the Yangjian. However, the fee is very expensive, so you can ask your relatives and friends in the Yangjian to pay for it later."

Can it really be mailed!

The female ghost's expression still seemed somewhat disbelieving. She had asked the previous stationmaster before, but he wouldn't let her send it.

Xiao Jing: "It's really possible to send it. If you have a courier service that can go out, you can go ask now..."

Before she could finish her words, the female ghost had already run away.

Xiaokang was taken aback. "So anxious"

"Of course she was worried, this female ghost always went to the post office to ask the station master to deliver the package," the greasy-haired and pale male ghost appeared beside Xiao Jing at some point.

Xiao Jing glanced at him, "Don't you all know this"

"Of course~," the male ghost threw him a wink, "I know everything~."

Xiao Jing ignored his mother's angry gesture and asked him, "Is she mute"

If a person is mute, will they remain mute even as a ghost

For the first time being a ghost, he was somewhat curious about this question.

The male ghost shook his head. "She's not mute."

Xiao Jing: "Then why can't she speak"

“Her tongue,” the male ghost protruded his tongue, gesturing with it, “was cut off after she died.”

After a person dies, if their tongue is cut out, they will be unable to speak as a ghost and will not be able to tell their grievances.

Xiaojing was a little surprised, "Their tongue was cut off after death!"

"That's right, so she couldn't speak, none of us know how she died or why she insisted on sending out the package."

The male ghost shrugged. "We only know that every time she goes out to get a package, she asks the stationmaster if they can ship it."

After all, Huangquan Station is their only way to go to the human world.

If someone's tongue was cut out after death and they still want to send things, it means that ghost must have some grievance.

Xiao Jing said "thank you" and chased after the direction the female ghost ran.

As a former police officer, his occupational habits made him want to know what had happened to the female ghost in her lifetime.

The man with greasy hair and noodles for a face watched him leave, chuckled softly, then turned and sashayed back into the throng of ghosts, his slender waist swaying.

Huangquan Express only accepts deliveries, not pick-ups. How could anyone possibly break this rule

Have you all heard Meng Po Soup is having a promotion recently, buy one get one free.

"Wow, there are even such benefits."

"This isn't promoting giving birth, is it Now even ghosts don't want to reincarnate, and people in the human world aren't having children either. The birth rate in the human world has gone down."

"Being a ghost is so much better, why would you want to go back to being human"

"Yes, yes."

Their relatives burn paper money and offerings for them, they worked hard their whole lives, now that they're ghosts, they finally get to relax. Yang Fan had repaired his body, he still couldn't remember many things.He only remembers his parents and sister, but he doesn't remember how he died or who killed him."Then I'll go ask the master!"
