Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao, and others lived their lives in an orderly manner. Only Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had been getting along well recently, so he was a bit smug and would occasionally provoke Sha Zhu and get another beating.

Nothing else really happened.

The only thing that bothered Zhang Dabiao was that the 90, no, it was probably 72 US dollars in patent licensing fees, why hadn't they been transferred yet?

Generally speaking, once you sign the contract there, it takes three days to a week to transfer it over, right?

Why is there still no movement?

Just as they were about to ask the Lou family, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi were released, looking disheveled.

Upon their return, the two remained silent and went to their room in the central courtyard to discuss matters.

When Yi Zhonghai returned, he went over to ask what was going on.

I paid 40 yuan for this inexplicably.

If you, Jia Zhangshi, want to feed Zhang Dabiao excrement, you must have a reason, right?

After figuring it out, Yi Zhonghai felt a little panicked.

Everyone says Jia Dongxu won't live past next year...

Is this real or fake?

However, this matter, especially what the shaman said, that performing rituals for forty-nine days could eliminate the evil spirits, turn danger into safety, and even cause Zhang Dabiao to suffer a backlash, and that chanting incantations and burning talismans would have an effect in three days...

He felt it was better to believe it was true than not to believe it was not!

Isn't it just performing the ritual for forty-nine days?

If we can't do it openly, we can do it covertly.

Yi Zhonghai gave her a suggestion: tell Jia Zhangshi to be discreet and hide in their side room. If anyone comes, just close the door.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu...

Do they even burn talismans in their own houses?

However, the room already stank so badly that it was pointless to mourn anymore.

It's just burning talismans for three days, no big deal!

Qin Huairu was on the verge of tears. She had been staying with Banggeng in the front yard for the past few days, but starting today she had to move back to the side room in the middle yard. She would have to clean up the excrement every day and burn talismans...

She was truly at her wit's end.

So, Madam Jia started keeping the door open and chanting incantations towards the side room. She would throw talismans, chicken bones, incense, candles, and willow branches into the stove to burn while cooking. It wasn't a big deal; it just added a little smoke.

As for whether doing this will affect the results?

Let's just treat it as a last resort.

But his little action still attracted everyone's attention. Aunt Wu (now an older woman) saw it and said a few words, and was scolded by Jia Zhangshi - I was just burning some things in my own big house and there was a little extra smoke, what's it to you?

A jerk is just being pretentious!

If you're so capable, then make Liu Guangqi move out!

Wu Ma almost got into a fight with Jia Zhangshi.

It doesn't matter to your family, it already smells like this, but next door is Guangqi's family, their baby is only a few months old!

However, a fight didn't break out in the end. When the neighbors lit their stoves at home, they often used damp branches or coal briquettes, and smoke was common. You can't stop the Jia family from lighting their stoves just because they have some tobacco.

However, Wu Ma immediately told Zhang Dabiao about it.

Zhang Dabiao was completely dumbfounded. "Again?"

But as soon as Zhang Dabiao walked over, the Jia family closed the door. He couldn't just break in. He didn't know what they were muttering about at home, and he had no evidence. Besides, even if he reported them, what could he do? They would just deny it to the death!

After Zhang Dabiao left, Jia Zhangshi opened the door again, staring at him menacingly while muttering something under her breath...

It's like a toad crawling on your foot; it doesn't bite, it just disgusts you!

No way!

Is this a fight to the death between us?

Then I'm going to unleash my ultimate move!

------------

Zhang Dabiao had a good idea and went to test it out.

If he presses his forehead against the wall and then teleports back to his "little nest," then the door of the "little nest," especially the electronic peephole, will be facing the wall.

When an electronic peephole appears, the external space and position are fixed.

But electronic peepholes have several other functions besides being able to see; they can also record, and also—

Voice chat!

The kind of electronic sound played from the outside.

So Zhang Dabiao tried it out, sticking his phone next to the electronic peephole with nano glue, playing music on the phone, and making a call by tapping the electronic peephole.

Then the place he teleported back to, or rather, a point on the wall, started "playing" music. The sound wasn't loud, possibly because there was no splicing or contact, but it was still clear.

However, there is also a drawback: the "decorative" wooden door on the wall of the inner room of the cabin is spliced ​​together with the door of the "nest" and cannot be disassembled or separated.

As soon as the electronic peephole played music, the door of the cabin resonated along with it, the sound no quieter than the "flash point" outside.

Having no other option, Zhang Dabiao used quilts and felt to completely wrap the wooden door and frame, and even secured them with nails. Then he listened again—

Unless you put your ear right up to the felt of the wooden door, you basically can't hear it.

Then--

Zhang Dabiao's lips were already curled into a grin as he began editing the playlist.

"Mental Attack Series Playlist"

"Double Happiness", "Monkey Show", "Tara of the Orchid Temple", "The Sorrow of a Compassionate Mother Amidst a Thousand Flower Buds", "The Path of Forgetfulness", "The Birth of All Things", "Fart"...

It seems like some inappropriate song has been mixed in, but it doesn't matter. The sound is already quite different when the phone is played through the speaker and then through the electronic doorbell. There's a lot of electromagnetic noise. As long as the tune and effect are there, it's fine.

That night, when no one was looking, Zhang Dabiao used his forehead to bump against the north outer wall of the main hall (or side room?) in the front yard of the Jia family's house, the one where Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng lived. He then teleported back to the "small house," then went through the main gate to the small wooden house, and finally returned to the courtyard house from the small wooden house.

The coordinates that "flashed" were then pasted onto the wall of the room in the front courtyard of the Jia family.

Around 10 p.m., when everyone was asleep, Zhang Dabiao started playing the entire playlist!

I closed the wooden door connecting the cabin to test it out, and you couldn't hear anything unless you put your ear right up to it!

Then, the front yard and the middle yard were in an uproar!

In the dead of night, Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng had just fallen asleep when a strange sound came from the wall. It wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either; it was like a cheap radio creaking and groaning when it ran out of power.

But upon closer listening—

"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, an auspicious day, sorghum is being carried..."

At that moment, Jia Zhangshi's hair stood on end! She let out a strange cry—

"There's a ghost!"
