Chapter 12: There's still a task ahead
I was very embarrassed when I heard this, so I lowered my head and ate honestly, I didn't speak, but He Yanran kept a smile on her face.
After eating, He Yanran went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I was going to help, but Grandma Wang stopped me and said, "Zhang Xiaobei, you come with me." ”
After hearing this, I glanced at He Yanran in the kitchen, and then followed her grandmother to the courtyard outside.
"What's the matter? Grandma Wang? I asked.
"Yanran wants to go to the city with you, right?" She asked very seriously.
Looking at her expression, I was afraid that she would beat me again like when I was a child, so I quickly took a step back and said, "I asked her, and it was her own decision!" ”
"I know, I heard it just now, it's that girl who is stupid, but I can't control her, but do you have to give me a guarantee?" She looked at me and said seriously.
"Uh......, how do you want me to guarantee it?" I asked, a little worried.
"Take good care of her for me, her father left early, her mother remarried, and I am an old woman who depends on her for her life, so don't bully her."
"I can guarantee that!" Seeing that she didn't make those excessive demands on me, I immediately agreed, and I didn't need her to say, I would take care of her when I went outside, although she was older than me, but I was a man, and I took her out of my hometown, so I felt that I had this responsibility.
"It's good to be sure, and that girl has been different to you since she was a child, so when the time comes, you have to give me an explanation." Grandma Wang continued to say seriously.
But I didn't react at once, so I asked, "What explanation?" ”
Seeing that I didn't understand, she angrily picked up a crutch and hit me, and scolded, "What, you kid still want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" I'm talking about marrying her, of course. ”
Hearing this, I immediately understood, and then rubbed the place where I was beaten and said, "I know, if she wants to, I will!" ”
"What is she going to do, it's not obvious enough? She's gone with you, wouldn't she want to? Grandma Wang yelled at me angrily.
"I see!" I hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, you go back, come over for dinner later!" She turned around and went straight into the house, leaving me there very messy.
When I got home, I lay on the bed and looked at the Yang Messenger and knew that many ghosts were unwilling to leave the Yang World for a purpose, either they were unwilling to leave like this, or they had a wish that was not fulfilled.
There is also the kind that is killed, some will wander around the place where the accident happened, and some will follow the person who killed her.
Seeing this, I guess my parents don't have any wishes, and if I hadn't rushed to the cowhouse, maybe I wouldn't even have seen their ghosts.
By the way, how is Tan Xiao? Thinking that I took out the Yang Difference Token and called Tan Xiao's name, sure enough, she appeared soon, and she still looked very weak.
I hurried over to hold her, "How are you?" Is it better? ”
She nodded, "It's okay, it's good to rest, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"It's okay, want to see how you're doing?" I replied.
"You care about me?" She looked at me with an innocent smile.
"Sort of, after all, you were also injured because of me." I say.
"Cut, it's my duty to protect you now, it's nothing!" She said and went to my bed and lay down.
Seeing that she was no different now than when she was sick, I sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "You ghosts are sick or injured, do you have any medicine to take?" ”
"Yes, but I have to find a ghost doctor!" She said.
As soon as I heard that there was a ghost doctor, I said, "Then you should go and see her too!" ”
"If you don't go, it's very troublesome for the ghost doctor to see a doctor, and I don't want to go." As she spoke, she pulled my quilt over it.
"Okay, then you rest here, I'm out." Even though she's a female ghost, I'm not too embarrassed to watch her sleep here.
After I went out, I suddenly remembered that my Stygian Jue had been robbed, so could I still live past the age of twenty? Thinking about it, I entered the house again and was about to ask Tan Xiao.
But she seemed to be asleep, and I didn't wake her up, but there was one more person to ask.
Thinking that I took out the box I found in the cowshed and went to the hall outside, and knocked twice, and soon the ghost wearing the clothes of the Republic of China appeared.
"Yocha-sama, are you looking for me?" He asked.
"Well, I want to ask you, if the Stygian Jue is lost, can I still live past the age of twenty?"
"Yes, because you are now impotent, with a ten-year lifespan." He said.
After hearing this, I thought, since I will not die before the age of twenty now, does the Stygian Jue mean little to me?
"And what about ten years from now?" I asked again.
"Ten years of yang difference for ten years of life, so you can live for at least twenty years, what's wrong? Still have any questions? He asked.
I thought for a moment, "What does that mean to me?" ”
"The meaning is that you can continue to live, and if you don't do yang after ten years, then do you plan to live another ten years and die?" He looked at me very seriously.
After listening to his words, I felt that twenty years later, I don't know if I am still so resistant to death, so I don't think it would matter if I didn't have the Immortal Dragon, but when I thought that it was my parents' lives in exchange, I had to get it again, even if it wasn't for my own life, I had to get back what belonged to me.
"I forgot to tell you that because Dong Wutian changed the fate of your family, you will have children in the future......"
"Wait, you think I'm going to have a baby?" Suddenly, I looked at him in surprise and asked.
"Why, don't you want to have?"
"Of course not, you go on!" I really didn't expect that I would have children in the future, and I thought that there would be no next generation in my fate.
Then he continued to say to me: "Dong Wutian has changed the fate of your family, so your child's fate is the same as yours, and he will not live to be twenty years old. ”
Originally, I was quite happy to know that I would have a child in the future, but after listening to his words, I was suddenly not happy.
He asked, "What then?" ”
"So you don't want your child to use the method of being a yang messenger to continue his life like you, Styx Jue can help you, that is the life span of your parents and your parents combined, and you are willing to fall into the hands of others?"
"Of course not willingly!" I replied.
"So you still think that the Stygian Dragons don't make sense to you?" He asked.
I shook my head, even if it wasn't for myself, for the sake of my future children, I would take it back.
"What else would you like to ask?" As he spoke, he was ready to disappear again.
I quickly stopped him, and then asked a little embarrassed, "Then who is my future wife?" ”
"I can't tell you this!" He refused to answer.
I was speechless, so I said, "You told me all the children, tell me who my wife is." ”
"As long as you live, you will have children, as for who is your wife, does it matter? Besides, I didn't say that your wife must have given birth to you. He disappeared with that, leaving me alone.
Because he said that the amount of information was too large, saying that I would have a child, but it was not necessarily my wife who gave birth to me, and that it didn't matter who my wife was?
I'll go, it's important well, am I a scumbag? No, I'm pretty single-minded.
"Zhang Xiaobei, what are you thinking about holding a box?" I was stunned, when suddenly Tan Xiao came over and patted me on the shoulder and said.
I quickly shook my head when I came back to my senses, "It's nothing, I think of something." ”
"Oh, did you find the spirit of that female corpse this morning? I was asked next, and they said that they had been dead for days, and we had to hurry. She asked, still a little weak.
And if she hadn't reminded me just now, I would have forgotten that there was still such a thing, and I would have said embarrassedly, "I don't know where to look!" ”
"Have you read the handbook?" She asked, a little speechless.
"I've watched some, but I haven't finished reading it."
"......, big brother, are you a little competent? We have to look at the performance! ”
And this kind of operation? I was a little surprised, "Then how do you calculate your performance?" ”
"This is my condition for staying in the yang world, if I don't do it well, I will be forcibly taken back to the underworld, and then obey the arrangement to be reincarnated, and because I was killed, I can't be a human being in the next life, so please think about me, okay?" Tan Xiao said very seriously.
It didn't look like she was joking, so I nodded, "Okay, then I'll look for it now!" ”
"Then please have a snack, if you see a little ghost or something on the road, just ask, by the way, her name is Zhao Xue!"
"Okay, what about you?" I asked.
"I'll go to the Patrol Bureau to see if there are any other clues." Tan Xiao disappeared directly after speaking.
When he was gone, I went out with my Yang Badge token.
But did the woman named Zhao Xue die in our village? I found it in the village.
However, at this time, I suddenly heard someone talking about something? I looked around, but I didn't find anyone anywhere.
But it sounded like it was coming from behind the big banyan tree in front of me, and then I walked over gently.
As soon as it passed, they were discovered by the two people, no, to be precise, they were not human, because then they knew they were ghosts at a glance.
"Did he see us?" One of the square-faced imps asked, and the other round-faced imp said.
"It seems to be, but how can he see us? Are they ghosts like us? The round-faced imp replied.
......, and I saw that they were talking as if no one was talking here, and I still didn't know how to speak.
"I don't think he's a ghost, or should we scare him?" The square-faced imp said.
"But he saw us, how scared?"
"That's right, let's run!" As he spoke, the two imps were ready to slip away.
I was speechless, but shouted anyway, "Stop! ”
Seeing me speak, the two imps were stunned, and then began to talk again, "Did he call us?" ”
"It seems to be!"
"Then he can't be a ghost hunter, right?"
"Probably!"
"What should I do?"
"Okay, I won't arrest you, but if I ask you questions, you have to tell me the truth!" Seeing that they were endless, I spoke again.
