Goldfield
Chapter 195: The Spirit

Yu Xiaocao walked over and withdrew his grandfather's hand. He firmly said, “Grandfather, this is not because we do not trust you! We don't trust him! An empty promise means nothing, so let him make a written promise !! ”

Madam Zhang's eyes widened and was about to say something when Yu Hai stopped her and interrupted, “How about .. I still think reporting this to the authorities is better, right?”

The old woman immediately deflated like a balloon —— defeated!

Yu Hang ran back home to pick up the paper and brushes he used to practice writing. With Yu Xiaocao's dictation, Yu Hang wrote down all the evil things that Madam Zhang had done so clearly. Moreover, in the end, he added Madam Zhang's promise of —— in the future, he would sincerely repent, improve his ways, and no longer cause trouble for Yu Hai and his family. Finally, they had Madam Zhang stamp her fingerprints on the paper.

Why did Yu Hang write? Simple reason. Although Xiaocao learned to read and write most quickly of all because he had finished high school in his previous life, he was usually too busy to practice writing. So, his handwriting is very bad and looks ugly. His character also tends to lose a few strokes (that's because he writes simplified characters, okay?). On the other hand, Yu Hang always wrote two pages full of characters every night, no matter how tired he was or how late it was. He had some talent, and, when combined with his tireless efforts, his handwritten words already looked quite presentable.

After Yu Xiaocao solemnly put away the written promise of guilt, he spoke indifferently to Madam Zhang, “In the future, he said, my whole family and you have to act like we don't know each other! We will not disturb you, so we ask that you do not come to disturb our peaceful life. This is the thing my father can hold back the most. If you want to continue causing trouble like in the past, then we can go meet the authorities together ah! ”

Yu Caidie, who had previously fainted at the door, was already awake. When she heard her mother's crimes again, she sobbed in Madam Zhang's arms. Madam Zhang hugged her daughter tightly towards her and glanced at the humanoid figure of ‘ghantu’ floating near the roof beam. He shuddered and replied, “I've signed my guilty plea. Dahai, shouldn't you send your mother back now? ”

Yu Hai sadly looked in the direction that Madam Zhang was facing, yet he was unable to see anything. When his mother died, he was only the same age as Little Shitou now. More than twenty years had passed since then, so her memory of her mother's loving face had already begun to fade, as if her face had been covered by a thick veil. Now she wished she could become like Madam Zhang and be able to meet her mother again. If he could, he would make sure to carve an image of himself inside his head. Why did his mother not show him? Did she blame him for admitting her killer as her mother for over twenty years? Tears of suffering slowly rolled down…

Yu Xiaocao firmly held his father's big hand with the warm little one, as if he was trying to comfort him. When he saw his father silently staring at the roof beams, shedding tears, Xiaocao quietly sighed and then spoke to Madam Zhang, “As the saying goes, Xiaocao quietly sighed, ‘Those who don't do embarrassing things don't have to fear the spirits knocking at night . Having a suspicious heart would cause an inner demon to appear. ‘ All this is done personally by you. Because you committed crimes against my father and my biological grandmother, your heart is filled with darkness and you suspect everyone. As long as you abide by your promises in the future and no longer continue to harm us, I'm sure that my true grandmother will generously let you go for this last one. May I give you some advice? The gods see everything you do, thus, it is better to avoid doing embarrassing things! Dad, let's go home! ”

After he finished speaking, the three of them left the courtyard with the sound of Madam Zhang's sad cry behind them. Yu Hang and Xiaocao each walked beside Yu Hai, who was in the middle. Xiaocao's hand remained tightly on that huge palm the entire time, showing his attention to her. That's when he faked his illness. His father never thought of giving up on him.

Xiaocao knew that his father's spirit was low and he hated Madam Zhang even more. He deliberately sent to the small holy stone, ‘We can't let the old witch just leave. If we don't torture him for a few more days, my heart won't taste good! ‘

[All right, leave it to me!] The small holy stone chuckled in anticipation as it rubbed its two claws together maliciously.

As a result, Madam Zhang had a difficult time. A few days later, he was even afraid to go to sleep because every time he closed his eyes he could see his bloodstained older cousin's eyes cynically. The ghost never moved or spoke but continued to stare at him constantly. Under the frightening gaze, he was completely unable to sleep. After suffering from insomnia for several days in a row, the usually healthy Madam Zhang quickly became weak and pale. Within a few days, his entire hair was bleached and there were more wrinkles on his face. His eye bags almost reached the corner of his mouth. It seems like she has aged for more than a decade in such a short time and it is clear that she is not mentally healthy —— but that is it for later.

“Cao’er, do you.. Do you think your grandmother blames me? Otherwise, why else would he not show himself to me, ah? ” Yu Hai suddenly stopped and looked towards the shadow mountain range under the moonlight. His voice finally broke the silence between the three of them.

Xiaocao hurriedly replied, “How could that be true? I think it's more likely that grandma blames herself. Back then, he had been deceived by the old woman, Madam Zhang, and trusted her completely. On his deathbed, he even asked Madam Zhang to look after Oldest Aunt and you. The old witch, Madame Zhang, did not fulfill her promise to grandma. Mistress Zhang is wrong here, don't blame yourself. ”

Yu Hai shook his head heavily and slowly said, “As his son, I am really unfilial and very disappointing. I almost forgot what my birth mother looks like.. ”.

Just as he finished lamenting, a white-colored figure on the small road in front of him slowly appeared. It was a woman with a gentle smile on her face that looked like she was only thirty years old. Her jet black hair was tied under a blue and white decorative head covering. He looked at Yu Hai with eyes filled with love and gratitude. A ******* quietly reach their ears, “Hai’er, it is not easy for you ..”

“Ibu——” Yu Hai successfully issued an answer. His mother's faint memory in his mind slowly became clearer. That was how his mother looked before she became ill. In her heart, her mother had always been the most beautiful, gentle, and loving woman in the world…

Yu Hai was not the only one who saw it; yu Hang and Yu Xiaocao could also see it. Xiaocao's eyes were wide open as he quietly praised the small holy stone in his mind, ‘Little Ketan Dumpling, you are too amazing!’

Yu Xiaocao hurriedly leaned over to hold his tail and then held the little boy in his arms. It didn't matter if the weak spirits in front of them were actually conjured up by a small holy stone or not. It was no longer important because he could tell that the apparition had no ill intentions towards them. In fact, judging from his father's expression, he knew what was going on …

“Mother, Mother —— your child cannot replace you. Wahhhhh... ”Yu Hai, who was almost thirty years old, knelt on the small mountain road and started crying like a lost little boy. The ghostly figure lovingly looked at Yu Hai and the wind seemed to be emitting echoes of his voice, “No, Mother who did not see clearly and made things difficult for both of you ..”

“Mother... I am useless. I could not prevent my sister from getting married in a distant village .. “Every time she thought of her older sister, who had married a widower who lived hundreds of miles away at the age of fourteen, Yu Hai always remembered his feelings of sorrow and helplessness. Tears once again filled his eyes.

The woman seemed to be unable to contain her feelings, faced Yu Hai. He lightly placed his transparent hand over his head and gently calmed down, “Don't blame yourself. Although it is colder there, your sister-in-law treats your sister very well. Right now your older sister has a decent life .. I only have you and your older sister left, you two should live well! ”

Yu Hai lovingly looked into his mother's gentle eyes and gently promised, “Mother, I will! Now, my life is very good. In a few days, I plan to bring Big Sister and her entire family. With him closer, it would be easier to help each other in times of need. ”

The woman seemed to pause with her head lowered to think a little before she finally nodded in agreement, “Your sister-in-law is no longer left of her family there, so have them come nice. However, you still need to make sure that both your sister and brother-in-law agree to this first. Hai’er, do as you wish. You're always reliable, so I'm relieved. ”

[Master, let me go! This ghost died so tragically that it could not be reincarnated and was left on earth as a lost soul. Over time, complaints can accumulate and cause them to turn into evil spirits that harm others. I will take her back to the cycle and let her reincarnate again. That's the right path.] When the golden kitten sees that the ghost is not a spirit that hurts humans, it no longer fights the ghost as it did when it first saw it. However, the stone still wanted to expel the spirit from the world of life for eternity for the sake of the future.

The woman seemed to be able to hear the small holy stone conversation with Xiaocao and looked towards Xiaocao. Although this was the first time Xiaocao had met a ghost, the woman's gentle eyes and demeanor made it easy to forget that she was a spirit.

The woman lightly floated over to Xiaocao. She noticed that the little girl did not look scared in the slightest and her pure and clean eyes looked at her calmly. The spirit smiled gently. After that, a voice appeared in Xiaocao's mind, ‘Son, I don't care who you are or where you are from. I hope you continue to have a kind heart and good intentions and stay in place of my poor granddaughter! ‘

Xiaocao was suddenly startled and stared in shock at the ghost lady with a hint of fear —— she was, somehow, she knew that she was not the real Xiaocao ?!

The woman lightly sighed, ‘Don't worry son! I have not strayed far from here for many years and I know everything that has happened in this family. When my poor granddaughter banged her forehead to the ground, I personally observed her soul being guided to the underworld by spiritual guides. I also clearly saw you, a soul from a different world, reborn into the body of my grandson. Your soul is pure white and no hatred comes from it, so that's the reason why I'm not trying to stop you. I'm glad I didn't try to interfere at the time. Thank you for everything you have done for this family.. ‘.

[That's right, we're lucky he didn't try to interfere. Otherwise, Master, your soul will be scattered. At that time, I was not at all powerful and only had enough spiritual energy to bring you into this world. If he tries to stop us, I don't know if I can win!] The little holy stone suddenly felt a tremor in his body.

When Yu Hai saw the ghost of his mother stopping in front of his daughter, he noticed that his daughter had a somewhat frightened look in her eyes. He, as the epitome of the perfect father, hurriedly came and hugged his daughter's small, frail-looking shoulders in an attempt to comfort her. He assured her, “Cao’er, do not be afraid. She's your grandmother, your real grandmother! He won't hurt you! ”

The woman's voice continued to sound in her mind, ‘Your father was right. Since fate has brought you here and you were reborn in the body of my granddaughter, then I am considered your grandmother. At that time, I wasn't trying to stop you, so now I'm naturally not going to try to do anything to you. ‘

The woman then used a voice the three could hear to say, “Xiaocao, you are a good child. Grandma wants to thank you.. ”.

Yu Hai hurriedly interrupted, “Mother, that's right! If not for Xiaocao, our family would still get into a lot of trouble ah! Xiaocao was a child who had personally been instructed by the God of Wealth ah! ”

The woman smiled and nodded her head. The sound of his voice once again appeared in Xiaocao's mind, the ‘Godly things you possess have the ability to let me reincarnate. I've fulfilled my wish in this world, so it's time I go.. ‘.
