Chapter 37: The Old Man and the Tree

The old lady leaned on crutches and slowly walked under a banyan tree that was only about ten years old. trembling lips, two lines of tears slowly slipped, and reached out to caress the trunk of the tree, "Old man, the old woman has come to see you, you must be very lonely alone, you will leave me for more than ten years, why don't you take me away, now the family is really in chaos, I don't have the energy to take care of it, Jiacheng's condition is getting worse and worse, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will keep our offspring・・・・・・"

I quietly watched a helpless old man in her old age, who should have been happy, but she had endless worries, for her, this may be a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Half an hour later, I helped the old lady and sent her home, and when I entered her house, I covered my nose with an impolite gesture, because there was a strong smell of medicinal wine mixed with Chinese medicine, which was very pungent, "Grandma, why don't you open the window to ventilate your house, the smell of medicinal herbs is too strong"

I was just about to open the balcony door and window, but the old lady stopped me and said, "Don't, little girl!

"Ahh

The old lady poured two glasses of water and handed them to me and Gu Xiaoyu embarrassed, "Two, I'm really sorry, the old woman has no tea at home, so she can only let the two of you drink boiled water."

"Where's that, grandma, can I see your grandson?"

Just after I raised this question, the old lady refused my request, and said in frustration, "Don't be, little girl, Jiacheng has been a medicine jar since he was a child, and I am afraid that the strange disease will infect you."

I frowned, glanced at Gu Xiaoyu, and immediately smiled indifferently, "Grandma is serious, grandma, this house is only for the two of you?"

"Well, last year, Jiacheng's parents died on the spot in a car accident, and Jiacheng almost left, this family is almost scattered, walking, sick, sick, dead, alive, and sinful"

It may seem like a family of doom that can be summed up in a few words, but only one member of this family can feel the helpless, painful, and hopeless predicament. While we were chatting, a violent cough came from Jiacheng's room, "Ahem・・・・・・

I looked at the worried old lady who had left, followed by him, and when I saw a skinny and pale thirteen or fourteen-year-old Jiacheng, I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw that his room was also filled with the pungent smell of medicinal herbs, and it was also eerie and cold.

It wasn't until the old lady gave Jiacheng medicine that the cough dissipated, and I slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma, when did Jiacheng get seriously ill?"

"Last year, come out, little girl"

I took a deep look at the sick Jiacheng, and after a while we left the old lady's house, on the way back, I don't know what kind of mood it was, and I don't know how the old lady would react after she died.

"Girl, if you want to help her, you can help, um" Gu Xiaoyu kept walking behind me, her hands in her pockets, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Thank you for your support, Brother Xiaoyu" made up my mind, and I didn't go home directly with Gu Xiaoyu's support, but ran to the forest park again, and came to the banyan tree that the old lady had touched before, stared at the trunk for a long time with stern eyes, and said sharply, "Come out"

A gust of wind blew across my cheeks, the nearby branches swayed a few times, the birds perched on the branches flew away in fright, and when an old ghost appeared in my field of vision, it was a look of pity and resentment, "Can you see me?"

"You've been dead for so long, it's time to go back to where you belong," I immediately activated the dementor rod in my hand and clenched it.

The gray-haired old ghost looked at me fixedly, "Why do you want to go back, I want to take them down, I don't want to be alone by myself, I'm used to having them..."

"Don't you want to be lonely, do you want to drag your son, daughter-in-law and grandson down to accompany you? You want to torture her so much, a ghost like you shouldn't be saved zài" Suddenly I became excited, this is the most hateful selfish ghost I have ever seen.

I didn't say anything more, I raised the dementor wand in my hand and struck it directly, and it immediately took my attack, and stared at me angrily, an attack with a flickering blue ghost light rushed towards me, seeing this, I took out the soul exorcism charm and quickly stuck it in the blue ghostly light.

The sound of the "bang" explosion, and the old ghost glanced at me with disdain, launched several serial attacks, and in the dodge, I found the right time to attach the exorcism charm to it, strengthen the mana, and silently recite the spell "Disappear forever"

"No, no, no..."

Looking at its unwilling expression, after it disappeared completely, I walked under the banyan tree and stared at the instantly withered tree, "Whether you miss it or not, you should have disappeared"

The next day, I went to the old lady's house yesterday, and when I entered her door, I saw the sick Jiacheng yesterday, sitting on the sofa with a slightly healthy complexion and looking at me lightly.

"Jiacheng looks a lot better at your complexion"

"Yes, I was also wondering how he got better overnight, and now I can relax my wife, little girl sit" Compared with the sad old lady yesterday, she is in a good mood from the bottom of her heart today.

I sat down and looked at the room where the window was opened, not as lifeless and gloomy as yesterday, with a sense of vitality, and Jiacheng looked at me fixedly at this time, looking like he wanted to say something, and found him after this, "Jiacheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, I dreamed last night that I saw my grandfather who I hadn't met since I was a child, and he said thank you"

I looked at him in amazement, and smiled awkwardly, "Ahh

Jiacheng stared at the triangular exorcism charm in my hand, wrapped in a layer of red cloth, and took it and looked at it for a while, "Thank you, sister, that... sister, can you accompany me to a place?"

Looking at his embarrassed look, I nodded, "Okay, but you're only getting better now, can you go when you're almost well?"

"Hmm"

"Seeing that you are healthy, your grandma doesn't have to worry so much, then I'll go back first, grandma I'll go"

"Little girl, let's have a meal here!" the old lady who heard the sound hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.

I stopped "No, I have something else to do" I went home with inexplicable excitement, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw two Gu Xiaoyu and Yuehao with extremely cold faces.
