Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Mr. Way died, the muddled ghost had to connect seamlessly to Lull. Previously, it had already absorbed a lot of Yin energy from her. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched Lull this time, he heard a sizzle!
The muddled ghost retracted his hand in surprise. Then, he looked at the burning yellow talisman and sneered. “Looks like I’ve been targeted by some Daoist priest. Hahaha, you still want to capture me with this little cultivation?”
He was not afraid at all! He picked up the yellow talisman that had been burned to ashes and blew.
Lull and Gran couldn’t come to an agreement. She picked up her bag angrily and left. This was her parents’ house. For the past few days, she had been living here to settle the cemetery. After Mr. Way was discharged from the hospital, she often came over to cook for the old man. Gran didn’t have money and ate and lived with his parents. She was afraid that her mother wouldn’t be willing to spend money and wouldn’t buy good food for her father…
In a daze, Lull thought of her three-year-old daughter. She had neglected her for a long time… When her daughter was not on summer vacation, she would send her daughter to kindergarten in the morning, go to work in the day, and return to her parents’ house to cook for them at noon and night. After the summer vacation, she did not have time to take care of her child, so she sent her child to her grandparents’ house in the countryside. She had sacrificed so much and ignored her child, but her parents only felt that this was what she should do…
Lull thought about these things and couldn’t stop her tears. Her parents’ house was several blocks away from hers. It was about five kilometers away. Lull was annoyed and didn’t want to take a car, so she walked on the road alone. She could still hear cars on the road, but as she walked, Lull suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was silence. Not to mention a pedestrian, there wasn’t even a car.
Lull’s parents’ neighborhood was located in a remote area. There were no school districts or business districts around, so there were indeed very few people at night. However, after passing a traffic light here, there was the river crossing bridge. Usually, there would be cars coming and going across the river bridge. It would not be like now, where there were no cars… Lull belatedly realized that today was the Ghost Festival and began to feel afraid…
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past. She subconsciously touched her hair and realized that she had touched dust! She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She trembled and picked up her phone to call her husband. ” I . . . I’m outside my parents’ neighborhood. Can you pick me up…”
The other party was very cold and heartless. “I’m not free. I’m in a meeting.” With that, he hung up.
Lull’s heart ached, and tears welled up. Previously, a relative had told her that her father was not feeling well. He had said that after she got married, she should not only care about her family and not her biological parents. Lull knew that it must be that her father was not feeling well and did not tell her. He fell in front of his relatives and complained. Hence, she took her father to a physical examination and found out that he had cancer. At that time, she was also like a bolt from the blue and blamed herself very much. Later, she devoted herself to taking care of her parents. However, her husband’s problem with her was getting bigger and bigger. Her family was about to shatter… Lull did not know why it had become like this. It was as if nothing she did was
One of the taboos of the Ghost Festival was not to cry on the road in the middle of the night.
Lull didn’t know about this taboo. Furthermore, the muddled ghost had contaminated her body with Yin energy, so it was very easy for her to attract a few ghosts. Click… click… There was the sound of high heels behind her. Lull reflexively turned around, but she couldn’t see anything… But she had clearly heard it just now!
At that moment, Lull heard the woman’s laughter again. This time, she didn’t dare look back. She ran suddenly. Fear surrounded her. She ran in the direction of her house like a headless fly. The sound of high heels lingered behind her. No matter how hard she ran, she followed.
There were traffic lights at the intersection. Out of habit, Lull paused, and a hand landed on her shoulder. She didn’t have to turn around to feel it. It was as if someone was lying on her back, their face slowly reaching over her shoulder…
Lull’s entire body stiffened. She ignored the flashing red light and rushed over!
Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing sound. A tattered bus appeared out of thin air and hit her! Lull screamed!
At 3:30 a.m., after Lull’s husband finished his work, he realized that Lull was still not home. He held back his anger and ignored her. However, as time passed and he did not see her return after 3:00 a.m.. , he began to call Lull, but the call could not be reached!
