Chapter 205
Chapter 205
Even if two people went to deliver it, it would still be quite strange.
The first family almost beat them out and threatened to report them to the police.
The child thought to himself: It’s better to report it. This kind of thing should be handled by the government. If they had sent the body back earlier, why would I have to carry the bones around?
If the child hadn't told them a few things that outsiders didn't know, they would have really been thought of as liars.
What’s even more hateful is that when the child told them that the bones were incomplete and a little bit was missing, they didn’t care at all and kept asking her if the person had left behind anything valuable.
He said confidently, "Don't lie to me. My grandfather went to the battlefield a long time ago and was in charge of dozens of people. After so many years, it's no wonder that he got some spoils of war and rewards. You can even find bones, so how can you not find anything? Are you greedy?"
On the way here, the child thought he could at least get a few thanks.
Aunt Yu was still wondering if she could get two bunches of vegetables even without the thank-you gift.
As a result, he didn't even have a sip of water, and was almost hit by a broom twice, and was questioned as a thief.
The child endured it again and again, but still threw bones all over their heads, then snatched the broom that had just been used to sweep up the chicken shit and swung it around, yelling, "You greedy grandpa, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
This family lived a good life, and Aunt Yu was really afraid that they would go to the police and cause trouble. She was so anxious that she tried to take sides and persuaded the children not to take action.
Fortunately, seeing how strong the child was, those people thought she was possessed by a ghost. They were so scared that they didn't dare to stop them. The two of them ran out safely.
They looked at each other and found that no one was injured, no bones were missing, and the soul flag was wrapped in cloth and inserted neatly in the basket.
Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, and in unison, they put their hands on their hips and cursed: "Bah! What kind of person is this!"
The child was so angry that he didn't want to go and send it off.
Aunt Yu was also annoyed, but she was still thinking about the business and asked her, "Miss, where is the old man from that family?"
Child: "Who knows? It was there at first, then it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
When the old ghost first saw those people, he was in tears and said something like this is his eldest grandson, that is his daughter-in-law, and that the house has changed a lot and he can hardly recognize them. But when the fight started, he disappeared and no one knew where he went.
Aunt Yu pondered for a moment and said, "No, young lady, we have to go back and look for them. The old man must be upset seeing them like that. Let's not let anything else happen."
The child was unhappy and said nonchalantly, "What could happen? I'm not going back."
Aunt Yu was too embarrassed to speak directly in front of so many ghosts in the soul flag, so she just winked and said, "Oh, girl, you forgot, didn't you tell me about your fellow villager named Mu..."
Aunt Yu was afraid that the old man would become a demon like Mu Shuanglin and harm others, but the child felt that those people deserved to be killed and was still very reluctant: "Let him go, anyway, I have already sent him home, and those people in his family deserved to die."
"Hey!" Aunt Yu patted her hurriedly and spat, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, children's words are careless and will be blown away by the wind. How can you say that, child? There is no deep hatred. They are angry with us and we have fought before. There is no need to curse them. If what you said comes true, it will only damage your own good karma.
Besides, if you promised someone something, you have to do it well. You always told me that girl is your best friend, so you have to do everything she asks you to do. It's a good thing, but if something goes wrong, it will become a bad thing. If she finds out, she will blame you."
"Waiya won't blame me," the child retorted subconsciously, "She'll just beat me up."
"That's pretty uncomfortable, isn't it?" Aunt Yu knew that she was a stubborn person, so she didn't argue with her about it. She just went along with her advice, hoping that she would change her mind.
The child glanced at her and softened his attitude a little. The ghost in the soul flag also took advantage of the situation and said some nice words to coax her.
So she went back with a sullen face again, and this time she was not polite at all, and kicked the door open with a bang:
"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight? How can you hide your shameful thoughts?"
The frightened family almost burst into tears when they saw her.
"Why are you here again?" the old man's daughter-in-law screamed.
The eldest grandson who had just pouted and asked for money was even more frightened than her. He closed his eyes and waved his hands around: "Grandpa, I was wrong. You know I have been outspoken since I was a child. I don't have a brain, and I don't have a bad heart. Dad is dead, my second brother is dead, and my third sister is gone. I am the only child in our family. You can't hurt me. Go away, go away, just go away."
No one listened to his nonsense. The child looked inside and out but couldn't find anyone, so he just walked away.
After searching around the house again, they finally found an old man under a broken basket at the entrance of the alley.
It’s a good thing he is a ghost, otherwise even a child couldn’t hide in such a small broken basket.
He did hide in it, which was quite scary. There was a basket with half a head growing out of it.
The child opened the basket, turned around, faced the wall, hugged his legs, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing the child standing there, Aunt Yu mouthed to her, "Did you find it?"
The child nodded.
"How is it?" Aunt Yu asked again silently.
The child nodded: "Not bad, let's go."
Since it won’t turn into a ghost anyway, the child doesn’t want to care about it.
But Aunt Yu's face was full of disapproval, so the child had no choice but to go up to him and comfort him: "Are you okay? Don't be angry, people like this are rare. There are still good people in this world..."
Before she could utter a word, Aunt Yu raised her hand and dragged her aside.
Get up quickly.
This unfortunate kid, I asked you to persuade him, not to persuade him to death. Who would feel comfortable after hearing what you said?
The child noticed her reproach, pouted, and stood aside, with his hands on his hips and his head tilted. He looked like a stubborn donkey, and was still very dissatisfied.
She hadn't meant to persuade him.
If you hate someone, you hate everything about him.
If the child doesn't like that bastard, how could he like his grandfather? They don't have much of a relationship to begin with.
Aunt Yu was kind-hearted. Even though she couldn't see it, she still said a lot of words towards that place.
He kept repeating the old saying that children are all sinners.
I'll forget about it after just one look. It's time to reincarnate. Go have fun if you want. After a lifetime of hard work, even a little wandering around is fine...
The child found these words unconvincing.
If she encountered such a thing, she would definitely pester them and scare them every day until she felt relieved.
Besides, what’s the fun in having fun if you’ve all turned into ghosts? You can’t eat the delicious food, you can’t touch the fun things, so what’s the fun in traveling?
Reincarnation is more reliable. Instead of being sad, you might as well find a good family for yourself.
Although these ghosts are still conscious, their colors are very pale. If we don't hurry up, they might disappear one day.
Aunt Yu kept on chattering, but the children didn't listen much. However, the old man did listen, thanked them, sighed leisurely, and said that he wanted to go back and take a look.
Aunt Yu, who was so worried about her life, heard what the child said and said, "Okay, it's good to go back and visit. No matter how unfilial the children are, their parents still care about them."
After the old man left, he urged the child to follow him to see if anything happened.
The child couldn't persuade her, so he had to put down the backpack and follow her secretly.
But the old man just took a look from a distance and walked away with his hands behind his back.
His back was hunched, his color became lighter and lighter, and soon he disappeared between heaven and earth.
The eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, who were repairing the door, suddenly raised their heads and looked in that direction, but of course they saw nothing.
The child heard them complaining about how much money the funeral would cost.
But he also said that it had to be done.
The daughter-in-law said with some regret: "I should have built a cenotaph for him earlier. It would have been cheaper to hold a funeral then. Your father refused to believe that the old man was dead. He said that good people don't live long, and evil people will leave a thousand years. If he died, the old man would not die. What happened? They all died, closed their eyes, and kicked their legs. They didn't have to worry about it..."
The daughter-in-law slapped her palms with the back of her hands in anger.
"Oh, that's enough, mother. What's the point of talking about this now? It's been so many years. I'll go to my father-in-law's house and pick up Da Niu and the others. I'll also buy paper money and a coffin. Tell the neighbors..."
The child didn't listen after that.
