Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 936 Activity Funds
Ding Ermiao opened the door, glanced at Li Weinian, and said tiredly: "Lvzhu is fine, don't worry."

"But why did she scream so miserably just now?" Li Weinian stretched his neck, looked into the room, and asked: "Where is Lv Zhu, where is Lv Zhu now?"

"Possessed on Sister Jinghua's body, she fainted temporarily." Sitting down on the chair, Ding Ermiao said, "Sister Ruping, please give me a stutter..."

From the underworld back to the human world, from Fengdu back to the mountain city, Ding Ermiao didn't even take a sip of hot tea, let alone food.

Now that things have come to an end and suddenly stopped, the whole person is almost falling apart, infinitely tired mentally and physically.

Seeing Ding Ermiao's tired look, everyone felt sad.

"Er Miao, sit down, I will cook for you right now..." Ruping felt even more heartbroken and hurriedly took Hongyu downstairs to cook.

Xia Bing also found biscuits and hot tea from downstairs, and poured boiling water for Ding Ermiao, Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan.

Along the way, Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao were also very tired.

In a short time, Ruping cooked two dishes and Hongyu brought them over, along with a bottle of wine.

Ding Ermiao was sitting at the table in the attic, eating and drinking in silence, almost without saying a word.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb, except for Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan who ate at the same table, everyone else was on the sidelines, looking at Ding Ermiao without saying a word.

Ding Ermiao ate very little, just poured herself a glass of wine, frowned, and occasionally glanced at Lin Xiruo on the bed.

Lin Xiruo was still the same, motionless, like a dead person.Lu Zhu also made no sound or any reaction.

After finishing half a kilogram of wine, Ding Ermiao stood up and said: "You take the policewoman sister to the bath on the second floor, then put in warm water and let her soak in it. Remember, the water temperature can only be around [-] About ten degrees to prevent skin burns.”

Li Weinian nodded, and Wan Shugao came over to carry him.

"Brother Ermiao, Luzhu...when will you wake up?" Li Weinian couldn't help but asked.

"When it's time to wake up, you will wake up." Ding Ermiao waved his hand and said: "Carry the policewoman sister down, and then send someone to watch. When Lu Zhu wakes up, you call me again, I want to sleep for a while …”

Li Weinian didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he wrapped Lin Xiruo in a sheet and carried her on his back.

Ji Xiaoxiao came over, tidied up the bed where Lin Xiruo had been rescued, and brought a clean bedding from downstairs for Ding Ermiao to rest.

Ding Ermiao thanked him, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Everyone exited together, Ji Xiaoxiao stayed in the attic, sitting in front of the bed, looking at Ding Ermiao's face in silence.

Ding Ermiao only slept for more than an hour when he suddenly woke up from his sleep with a start.

"What's wrong, Ermiao? Luzhu hasn't woken up yet, can you sleep a little longer?" Ji Xiaoxiao comforted her gently.

"I have something on my mind, I can't sleep..." Ding Ermiao sat up from the bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains to take a look.

The sun is rising outside the window, and it’s another day.

After getting dressed, Ding Ermiao took Ji Xiaoxiao down to the attic and went to the second floor to check on Lin Xiruo and Lu Zhu.

The bathroom door was open, and Gu Qinglan, Li Weinian and others were guarding the door.Seeing Ding Ermiao coming, everyone stood up and opened the bathroom door.

Lin Xiruo was wearing a bathrobe, sleeping on her back in the bathtub, with her eyes closed, like a peaceful mermaid.

"There has been no response until now." Gu Qinglan said.

Ding Ermiao nodded, walked to the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and then picked up Lin Xiruo's hand to feel her body temperature.

"It's almost time. Luzhu's soul was forcibly sealed in the body of the policewoman and is completing the fusion." Ding Ermiao gently put Lin Xiruo's hand back, turned around and said:
"Now everyone goes to the funeral supplies store separately and buys a large number of custom-made paper ingots to be burned to the deceased. The more, the better."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant and looked at Ding Ermiao in confusion. They didn't know what they wanted so many paper ingots for.

"Money can communicate with gods, and money can make ghosts work... After Luzhu wakes up, I will go to the underworld again, negotiate with Hades, and bring back the soul of the policewoman sister." Ding Ermiao explained, and said : "It's the same in Hades. It's easier to do things if you have money. So the funds for this event must be sufficient."

It turned out to be the case, and everyone finally understood.

"But how much do you want to buy? Is there an approximate amount?" Jiang Ming and Shi Pingjin stood up together and asked.

Ding Ermiao thought for a moment and said, "Prepare 30 to [-] yuan in cash to buy. If there is not enough, we will add more."

"I'll go, how much do you want to buy? Are there so many paper ingots in the mountain city?" Wan Shugao was surprised.

"It coincides with the Qingming Festival, and all funeral supplies stores sell them. Everyone buys all the inventory first, and then leaves a deposit for the merchants to rush to make it." Ding Ermiao paused, and then said: "You can also inform the people in Renhe Lane Old Han, let him buy it for you."

Jiang Ming and Shi Pingjin looked at each other and said, "No problem, we'll pay for it!"

"Okay, you and Wan Shugao should handle this matter together. The sooner the better." Ding Ermiao continued to give instructions, and then said to Li Weinian: "Take me out in the car and find an open space nearby to burn the paper ingots. "

Ruping said: "You don't have to look for it. There is a piece of vacant commercial land about ten miles to the east. Construction has not started yet, so it is more suitable."

"Alright, let's go there and have a look." Ding Ermiao put on his treasure bag and called Li Weinian to go out.

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a while and followed, and the three of them drove towards the eastern suburbs.

It didn't take long to find the open space Ruping mentioned.Ding Ermiao looked at it and found that it was indeed suitable. There was no one around.

Ding Ermiao found some branches, left marks on the ground, and told Li Weinian:

"Later, gather all the paper ingots here for burning. You, Wan Shugao, Jiang Mingshi, Pingjin and others will keep a distance and go around the surroundings. Every few steps, set off a small firecracker. Until the paper Don’t stop until the ingot is finished burning.”

"Why is this?" Li Weinian asked.

"During the Qingming Festival, the ghosts wandering around the world are ready to move. If we burn so many paper ingots at one time, it will definitely cause those lonely ghosts to rob them." Ding Ermiao explained:
"So, I need you to protect me. I will give you some copper coins later. If you see a big whirlwind, you can use the coins to smash into the eye of the wind. By the way, ask Shi Pingjin and the others to bring guns. The evil spirit on the guns, It also has a deterrent effect on lonely ghosts.”

Li Weinian nodded and said he had remembered everything.

After making the mark, Ding Ermiao and the others returned to Rupingtu Restaurant.

Just as they got in the car, Gu Qinglan called and said anxiously: "Er Miao, Luzhu has woken up, and Lin Xiruo can also move..."

"Okay, I'll be back soon!" Ding Ermiao cheered up.

"But..., Lin Xiruo's movements were very stiff, like a zombie. And the green bead seemed to be crazy, attached to Lin Xiruo's body, talking nonsense..." Gu Qinglan added.
