Chapter 670 World 25
Shen Ruyin couldn't see it, but Zhao Manrou saw the surprise and doubt in her parents' eyes on the other end of the phone.
Zhao's mother picked up the phone and asked, "Yinyin, have you told your mother about this?"
“I told her, my mom said she’ll take me to pray tomorrow,” Shen Ruyin thought for a moment and then repeated exactly what her mother had said about the car accident that happened on that road last week.
Zhao's mother made a quick decision: "Yinyin, when are you going out tomorrow? Tell Xiaoman in advance so I can bring Xiaoman with you."
Shen Ruyin agreed, but Zhao Manrou, who had gotten the phone back, went back to her room in a daze.
She could no longer recall her fear; her tone was filled with disbelief at her parents' sudden belief in metaphysics.
"Yinyin, am I dreaming? My mom suddenly said she'd take me with you guys to pray?"
"Isn't my mom a typical atheist?"
Shen Ruyin said on the other end of the phone, "Xiaoman, is it possible that your aunt is not a pure atheist? She just believes in science, but it's not that she can't believe in other things when necessary?"
Zhao Manrou understood: "Okay, I think I'm probably like that too."
Trust whoever is useful, and turn to science when you don't need it.
“However, I think I’m a little different from my mom,” Zhao Manrou said in an unusually serious tone. “I also believe in the God of Exams, who makes sure I know all the answers and guess all the right ones.”
Shen Ruyin almost burst out laughing. She coughed and said, "According to you, I believe in the God of Wealth. I hope the God of Wealth will let me have money to spend as I please."
“I believe it too,” Zhao Manrou quickly added the God of Wealth to her list of believers.
Who doesn't want to be rich?
I was inexplicably favored by the God of Wealth, and then I owned the house of my dreams, which could be filled with all kinds of merchandise, and I could also follow the offline events and attend every concert.
After listening to Zhao Manrou's rambling, Yinyin leaned back and closed her eyes: "Xiaoman, hurry up and get rich, I'll be a parasite clinging to your leg."
—
The next day, Shen Ruyin and her daughter met with Zhao Manrou and her daughter outside the City God Temple.
Zhao Manrou's mother hadn't visited much, but she followed Shen's mother's instructions step by step.
Although she didn't know if it would work, she still breathed a sigh of relief when she came out.
"Thank you, Yinyin's mom. If you hadn't been here today and told me to bring Xiaoman myself, I definitely wouldn't know what to do."
Shen's mother smiled and replied, "There's no need to thank me. If you don't know, just ask the people at the temple. If all else fails, you can just pray and feel at ease."
Zhao's mother believed this, because in her opinion, the greatest benefit of praying to gods and Buddhas was peace of mind.
The two mothers chatted about everyday things, while Shen Ruyin and Zhao Manrou walked behind them.
At this moment, Zhao Manrou felt that the sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and the air was fresher and sweeter than when she woke up in the morning. She wanted to see anything that interested her.
"Yinyin, why are so many pretty girls walking in that direction right now? I don't remember there being any holidays recently. It can't be that some anime convention is happening right now, can it?"
Shen Ruyin didn't know either, but looking at the direction those people left in and the similar support accessories they all had, she guessed, "I remember there's a livehouse over there that often hosts performances."
“Possibly,” Zhao Manrou had also been to that livehouse, where a group of her favorite traditional Chinese style groups had held events. “I don’t know whose event it was. It’s a pity we have to go back and do our exams, otherwise we could have gone to join in the fun.”
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a sudden stop ahead, followed by someone cursing.
"Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated? You're rushing onto the zebra crossing even when the light is red. Will it kill you to wait for ten seconds?"
Shen Ruyin and Zhao Manrou exchanged a glance and followed the two mothers a little further. They saw a girl sitting on the zebra crossing, so frightened that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up. The badges in her pain bag had fallen out.
Fortunately, there were many people around her who recognized her and quickly helped her back to safety, and apologized to the driver on her behalf.
The pretty woman finally came to her senses and grabbed her friend's hand: "I didn't rush up on my own; a little girl pulled me back."
Shen Ruyin noticed that the expressions of the two mothers in front of her had changed, and they hurriedly turned around to look at their own daughters.
Zhao Manrou gripped her arm tightly: "Yinyin, look, red shoes."
Shen Ruyin looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw the familiar red shoes. Even at the back of the crowd, she saw the familiar man burning paper money.
But today, the man looked much older.
"Xiaoman," Shen Ruyin called out, "look to your left, is that the man you met that day?"
Zhao Manrou only glanced at him before quickly turning back: "That's right, it's him. Yinyin, is it him you met too?"
"Oh no, he's run away."
When Shen Ruyin looked over, she also saw the person's departing figure.
She pursed her lips and, as she and Zhao Manrou passed by the woman who kept explaining that she hadn't run into the road, she couldn't help but stop.
"that……"
Shen Ruyin looked at them and said, "I think this sister seems to be frightened. If you're not in a hurry, there's a City God Temple in that direction. You can take her there to burn incense, and that should help."
Seeing the skepticism of the pretty ladies, Zhao Manrou whispered in agreement, "We just went to pray for it too, and it's very effective."
Hearing her daughters say this, and looking at the girl who was still weak, the two mothers also said, "A little girl was hit at the end of this road last week. You must pay attention to the traffic lights when you cross the road."
The people surrounding this young lady were skeptical and wary of Shen Ruyin and the others.
The young woman got up herself and said, "Thank you, I'll go take a look now."
Her friend called out to her worriedly, "The book signing is about to start, will you make it in time?"
The young lady insisted, "It's okay, you guys go ahead. Just buy me an extra set of Liu Ge merchandise, and I'll transfer the money to you."
Since they were willing to listen, Shen Ruyin and the others didn't say anything more, waited for the traffic light, and crossed the road.
When they parted ways and went home, Shen Ruyin, holding her mother's hand, turned around and almost bumped into the richly dressed male ghost.
"You can see me."
"Is it right?"
