C21 Mother and daughter returning home after death

When the old man heard that I was going to stay over tonight, he said, "Thank you, great deity. Thank you, great deity." After all, he was a ghost, and when faced with something he didn't know, people were always subconsciously afraid and not used to it.

In the traditional view, ghosts were evil and harmful to people. It was only natural for the old man to be afraid. Moreover, these were six ghosts! It was not something else, but a ghost after the deaths of his daughter and his wife. Although she was his wife's daughter, he couldn't help but be scared.

Seeing that I hadn't eaten yet, the old man went to the kitchen and cooked me a meal: a bowl of simple noodles with an egg on top of it. I took out my chopsticks and poked the egg.

When the old man saw that I was poking eggs with my chopsticks, he thought that I despised simple dishes, so he hurriedly explained, "I'm not very good at cooking. Ever since I left, there was always a daughter cooking at home, and this daughter has also left, leaving only me, a lousy old man. It doesn't matter if I eat or not, I also don't know how to cook." The old man said as he rubbed his hands.

Looking at the lonely figure of the old man squatting on the ground, I thought of my grandfather. If I were to leave, my grandfather would have no family left in this world.

"I've done it once before, and I ended up eating food poisoning. Only the noodles are still alright, I hope great deity doesn't mind." The old man continued, then scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he was afraid I would laugh at him.

Disliking does not exist, will not dislike food in this life, because I know that food is hard to come by, the early experience has let me form this good habit.

That year, our family did not have a good harvest, not only our family, but the entire village as well, so that winter was particularly hard to bear. Without food and no way to replenish the heat, I would lie in bed every day, not wanting to move at all.

Originally, I could have gone to the wilderness to find something to eat, but my hunger caused me to lose all of my strength. Although food in the wilderness could also satisfy my hunger, what I was looking for far surpassed the amount of heat my body consumed.

Because there was no food, walking was often lopsided and needed to support itself against the wall. My stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, protested, convulsed, like a ferocious beast, roaming about in my body, exhausting the last of my strength.

Even now, thinking about those days, I still felt very uncomfortable. My stomach was filled with acid. I picked up the rice bowl and started to eat. Seeing how delicious I was eating, ignoring my image, that old man even thought that his cooking was delicious, an expression of accomplishment appeared on his face. I asked the old man as I ate

"Other than your dead family members who will come back tonight, what about the other families in the village? Will their dead family members also come back?"

In any case, there seems to be a lot of people in the entire village. At night, the entire village will be in an uproar, like a market. Those people who can't see us will chat with each other. The old man said nervously.

"Is there anything else that's strange?"

The old man thought for a while and shook his head. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly said yes. Ever since the six people from my family came back, the food in my house had been missing for some unknown reason, and the quantity was not small either. Rice was always lost in bags, even noodles, not to mention vegetables, and every morning when I woke up, I would find that the pots and pans had all been used, and all the edible food in my house had disappeared. I asked a few families that were in the same situation as mine and they were all in the same situation. When my family came back from the river, the amount of food they had increased tremendously and all the food in the house was gone. "

Did this ghost return to the human world just to eat? I have never heard of such things. Luckily, they only ate for the sake of food and didn't hurt humans. If they were planning to harm people, then this village would have been flattened by them long ago.

As I said this, I finished my meal and burped. Seeing that I had finished eating, the old man poured me a glass of water, rubbed his hands, and told me, "Actually, I have one more important matter to ask of great deity.

Looking at the old man's serious expression, I agreed. "If it's within my capabilities, I will definitely help you."

When the old man heard that I agreed so readily, tears of excitement almost flowed down his face. What on earth is going on? To be able to make such an old man kneel to me with a reddened eye, I subconsciously felt that this matter would be difficult.

But since I agreed, I asked the old man what's the matter.

"It's like this, after my five short-lived daughters drowned in the black river, we fished for several days, but we couldn't find a single hair, and my wife was like this a year ago, what kind of sin did I do, all of my relatives died, and I couldn't even find their corpses, so I didn't have the means to give them a clean funeral. Falling back to its roots, he doesn't want his wife and daughter to all die, and yet he still soaks in water everyday. "

Yes, first of all, the loss of his wife, and then the loss of his five beautiful daughters. The successive blows seemed to break the old man down, but in fact they were almost done, and these things made the old man pale all night and sad all night, and made him look much older than he really was.

But the old man was much stronger than he looked. I looked at the tenacious old man and agreed to his request. The old man bowed to me with red eyes, "I don't have any close relatives with this old bone of mine. I am alone. I will never forget the great kindness of great deities in my life. "

I looked at the old man, who was still laughing despite his tears, and felt my heart twitch. Suddenly, I thought of myself, so I advised him not to be courteous, it was what he should do.

In the evening, I was given a room on the west side, and he told me to be careful that his wife and daughter came home around twelve in the evening.

Although I have been following my great-aunt and have seen quite a few ghosts, and I believe that they exist, I still felt a little apprehensive when I was asked to sit here and talk to them face to face.

As I lay on the bed, my head was filled with thoughts of random things. My aunt and Hu Liangyu, in their fox-like state, snuggled up to me like two obedient little wild cats. I caressed them both like I was stroking a cat.

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard voices coming from the room. The voices of six women were probably due to the old man's wife and daughter returning.

"Mom, look. There seems to be someone in the west room."
