The gambler ends up with nothing.

When the cocks crowed at dawn, Kong Congshuang and the two male ghosts no longer had any paper money left in their hands.

She looked at the scattered cards on the ground with a face that was more desperate than if she had been struck by lightning. She was incredulous and said, "How could this happen... My money... Wow wow wow..."

The cold and piercing wailing sound was floating around, but Qianghua was unmoved. While shuffling the cards, she asked the two aggrieved male ghosts who wanted to cry but couldn't, "Are you still going to fight?"

The two male ghosts behaved very slowly. According to what Kong Congshuang accidentally revealed during the card game, when they just became ghosts, their souls were eaten by a passing wronged spirit. If it weren't for their survival instinct that allowed them to break free and escape, they might have been gone.

But because of the lack of souls, the two male ghosts' brains don't work very well.

To put it more bluntly, these two male ghosts are stupid and it's easy to cheat with the things in their hands.

The reason why Kong Congshuang played with the two male ghosts was because the two male ghosts were from the village at the foot of the mountain when they were alive. It was said that they died while saving the children of the village, so the two male ghosts would receive a lot of sacrifices during festivals.

The two male ghosts shook their heads pitifully, "Gone, all gone... wuuuu..."

Usually Kong Congshuang would always leave some money for them, but now, there is not even a scrap of paper left!

Kong Congshuang cried dryly for a long time before stopping and asking persistently, "Is this your first time playing cards?"

Qianghua nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

No wonder!

When Kong Congshuang heard this, his pale face wrinkled into a ball, and he doubted the ghost, "Does the novice protection mechanism even have ghosts?"

"What protection mechanism?" Qianghua pretended not to understand.

Kong Congshuang rolled his eyes and waved his hands, "I know a place where you can have fun and make a lot of money!"

It’s better to wait until her novice protection mechanism is refreshed before playing with her, otherwise there is no way you can win!

"Oh? Where?" Qianghua asked following her words.

"No. 785, Chaodong Street, North District, Fancheng!"

As Kong Congshuang finished speaking, a rooster’s crow broke through the dark sky at the foot of the mountain.

"oops!"

She and the two male ghosts were like cats whose tails were stepped on. They screamed and did not even bother to say hello to Qianghua. They went straight into the mound of earth beside them.

Qianghua placed the cards that the three ghosts didn't take away in front of the mound, picked up a stone to press them down, and then disappeared on the spot.

…………

Qianghua changed back into modern clothes, robbed a few evil people along the way, and got a lot of cash, then entered the prosperous city that Kong Congshuang mentioned.

It was still dark, and Qianghua found a park in the middle of a lake and sat down on a bench beside the lakeside running track.

In cities, where cattle and horses gather, there are more ghosts than in the countryside.

I don’t know if it’s because there was no rooster crowing to warn people of the dawn, but when it’s almost daybreak, there are still souls floating around.

"Money." Xiao Ba looked at a ghost not far away who was obviously unconscious and kept jumping into the lake and asked Qianghua: "Don't they need to rest?"

"Hmm?" Qianghua was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to do?"

"Aren't we broke again?" Xiao Ba said with sparkling eyes, "It's no use going out to rob people all the time. Why don't we just capture these ghosts? No, we can recruit them as employees and open a factory. We won't even have to pay for the labor and it will be a huge profit!"

Qianghua: "..."

"What do you think?" Xiao Ba looked up at Qianghua, who had a speechless expression, and sought her opinion.

"Be a human being..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-!!!"

A shrill scream pierced the sky, interrupting the conversation between Qianghua and Xiaoba.

Qianghua paused slightly, raised her feet, and sat cross-legged on the bench.

Xiao Ba snuggled into Qianghua's arms and stared at the lake with her.

In less than half a minute, a black shadow covered with damp water vapor whizzed past the man and the cat. Then, messy footsteps were heard, and several figures chased after the black shadow.

"Little girl, why are you alone in the park so late at night? The police recently announced that there are gangsters roaming around the city. It's very dangerous for you to be out alone like this!"

The last girl stopped in front of Qianghua. There was concern in her words, but her every move was subconsciously full of inquiry.

This is treating her as a ghost as well.

Qianghua laughed in her heart and held up Xiaoba to show her (to act cute): "I'm not afraid, my cat will protect me!"

"Meow~" That's right, Xiaoba will protect Qianqian!

This is really a slap in the face for a girl. A young girl is not home at night and has no sense of defense. Besides, what use is a fat orange cat that looks like it has trouble walking and has a hoarse voice? !

"Where is your home? I'll take you back. It's not safe outside in the middle of the night." After confirming the warm scent coming from the man and the cat, the girl relaxed her vigilance a little.

Qianghua took Xiao Ba back and rested her chin on the top of His head, looking as if she refused to answer.

When the girl saw this, she was a little angry. She was angry that the girl in front of her did not take care of herself and put her in danger.

Nowadays, not only are people’s hearts unpredictable, but there are also ghosts and monsters that can mislead people.

"If you don't tell me, I'll call the police."

"I have no home..." Qianghua answered dejectedly, with indescribable confusion between her eyebrows.

With her beautiful and delicate face, she looks like a homeless animal, and anyone who sees her would feel a chill in their heart.

The girl couldn't escape it either, and spoke again, her voice two notes lower than before, "You... are an orphan?"

"Hmm..." Why doesn't she count?

"Then which orphanage are you in..." The girl fell silent after saying this.

Those who say they are homeless either have had a bad time in the welfare home, or have just reached adulthood and have left the welfare institution to live on their own.

Orphans with no one to help them do have a harder life than ordinary people.

But the person in front of me has an outstanding appearance. If I don’t have the right guidance, I’m afraid I’ll go astray...

"Le Zhi, what are you doing?" The few people who had just run past fell back.

Including Lezhi in front of her, there were six people in total, two women and four men. Except for her, the other five looked like they had just soaked in the lake. They were wet all over, sneezing and shivering slightly, and looked like they were very cold.

"Who is she?" asked another girl, rubbing her runny nose.

You Lezhi didn't know how to answer for a moment. To say that a little girl was an orphan in front of others? She wasn't that stupid.

"A kid who doesn't want to go home," You Lezhi waved his hand, "You guys go back and finish your work first, I'll stay here to persuade you."

"Well...ok, just pay more attention to your own safety."

After the five people confirmed that Qianghua was just an ordinary human, they turned around and left.
