Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Harper was about to go to the bathroom to put in a towel when he heard Amelias words. He stopped abruptly and turned to walk back. Amelia asked curiously, Brother, werent you going to the bathroom to put the towels?

Harpers expression didnt change. On second thought, I think Ill make the bed first.

Amelia said, Oh She watched as the female ghost aunt sauntered to the room in her pajamas with a towel over her shoulder and sat down on the side of the bed.

Hehe, new tenants? Why are there only the two of you? The female ghost auntie chatted with Amelia. Amelia looked in the direction of the bed and replied obediently, Sorry to disturb you. Well stay for two days. Well leave soon!

Harper, who was walking to the bed, suddenly stopped. He turned around and walked to the bathroom again. Forget it. Ill put the towel first.

Seven tilted his head and asked, Why are you back?

Harper couldnt be bothered with it, but Seven was smart enough to say, l understand. Youre afraid of ghosts.

Harper sneered. There are no ghosts in this world! Although he was frightened by the nightmare and although he had come to this place with Amelia, he only had an att.i.tude that he would rather believe than not. Essentially, he did not believe that there were ghosts in this world Just as he thought this, Harper saw an uncle come out of the bathroom.

Harper: Was he dreaming? Or was it an illusion?! If the person who saw the uncle was William, he would definitely be screaming and hiding behind Amelia! However, Harper stood rooted to the ground, as if he had been petrified. His face was blank. Other than this uncle, he also saw an auntie by the bed, but there was clearly no one in the room just now. Where did they come from? If they were ghosts, how did he see them?

Harpers reflex arc had yet to react.

The uncle glanced at Harper and complained unhappily, Theres a new tenant again? Seriously, people come and go every day and its so noisy. They dont pay or give us anything, and they occupy our place every day!

Amelia quickly ran to her suitcase and took out the equipment George had prepared for her. She generously took out a stack of paper money. Im sorry to disturb you. Well give you money! She took the paper money and drew a circle on the ground with cinnabar, leaving a gap in the northwest of the circle. Then she lit the paper money and muttered.

Seeing Amelia burning paper money, Harper finally reacted. He shuddered, and all the hair on his body stood on end. What what are you doing?

Amelia: Burning some money for Uncle and Auntie to borrow their place to stay for a while.

Harpers back was stiff as he walked over to Amelia like a robot. The two ghosts not far away were looking at him. Harper quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Amelia. Why are you drawing circles? he asked.

Amelia explained, You can only get the money if you draw circles. Otherwise, the money will fly!

Harper:

Amelia: Brother, let me tell you. When burning paper money for a deceased person, you must draw circles. If the other party is not at the scene, you must write the other partys name and date of birth. Otherwise, the other party wont be able to receive it.

Harper: During the Ghost Festival, everyone was burning money at the crossroads. They didnt draw circles. He had seen others burn paper, but he didnt draw any circles.

Amelia said, So most of the paper money they burn wont reach their relatives. However, when they burn paper money, there will be many wandering ghosts around. That money can reach the wandering ghosts. In the end, Amelia asked worriedly, Brother Harper, have you learned it? Harper: What was he learning this for?

After the fire burned the last corner of the paper money, Amelia took out her peach wood sword and brushed away the dust. Alright, Uncle and Auntie, this is the rent for you.

The female ghost auntie was overjoyed. After so many years, there was finally a sensible person! For wandering ghosts like them who had no relatives to wors.h.i.+p them, no one burned paper money for them after they died. They could only pick up some money at various crossroads during the Ghost Festival and live a difficult life. However, in this era, burning paper was prohibited, so their lives were even harder.

The ghost auntie and the ghost uncle entered the circle from the northwest and picked up the money with smiles on their faces. The female ghost auntie smiled and said, What an obedient and sensible girl. Come, come, come. Ill give you a place to stay. Your uncle and I will stay next door with the neighbors for two days!

Uncle Ghost was also in a good mood.. He said happily, If theres anything I can help you with, just tell me!
