Chapter 19: Deal with the ghost

”Can I request something of you? It's okay to refuse if you think it is inconvenient.” After the grievances had been cleared, the male ghost walked towards me and hesitantly spoke.

”What's the matter?” I asked while looking at the harmonious group of three ghosts in front of me.

”I want to request of you to help me look after my daughter. I know that I am making an excessive request, but now she is all alone in this world. We don't want her to spend her life in loneliness and get cheated by others. And the only one we can trust is you.” The male ghost and his mother-in-law were the same; they were unable to let go of their children.

”Why do you trust me?” I asked.

”You aren't like other daoists. You saw us trying to kill each other, but you instead tried to mediate between us. We believe you are a trustworthy person, at least your character is not bad. Have you ever seen a person who burns incense for a lone ghost? You are the first.” The male ghost had sufficient reasons to trust me.

”You know I am a daoist, right?” I asked the male ghost.

”Your father was not the same as other daoists. I believe you are like him; moreover, you also don't practice normal daoism, otherwise how could you talk with us? If there were some other humans, they would only see you talking to yourself.” The male ghost was able to think much more clearly after the hatred between him and his mother-in-law was resolved.

”Of course, if you agree to my request, I can give you money as compensation.” The male ghost clasped his hands together and said to me. Although it was filled with enticement,

”Money? Ghost money? Forget it, I have a ton of them here. If I want to use the ghost money, it would atleast be decades later.” I shrugged my shoulders.

”No. I have a safe in a bank. I have saved most of my earnings there. When I died, there was no time to tell anyone including my daughter. As long as you agree to take care of her and not allow her to be tricked, all that money will belong to you.” The male ghost hastily replied.

”A safe?” This was the first time I heard that the banks provided this service.

”Yes. You only need pa.s.sword, the safe is unregistered so there is no need for proofs. If you agree, I will give you the pa.s.sword. You could take it as a trade? The amount of money in there will surpa.s.s your imagination.” The male ghost saw that I was somewhat moved, so he continued to entice me.

”Please help us.” Little Tong also walked towards me and implored.

”I don't want our daughter to become completely alone.” Little Tong's face was filled with sadness.

”Alone…..” Little tong's this remark made me recall my childhood. If it was not for foster father picking me up, maybe I would have already died! I decided to help them.

”Name?” I looked at the three hopeful ghosts in front of me and asked.

”Eh?” The ghosts didn't understand me.

”I asked your daughter's name and I also need her address. How old? Is she beautiful or ugly?” I sat in the chair and asked.

”Ohh, our daughter name is Gu Pianpian, she is twenty, second year student in Jiangcheng University,yes if I didn't remember it wrong, then it should be correct. As for beauty.. I can only say that my daughter resembles Little Tong seventy percent.” The male ghost's face was filled with pride when he talked about his daughter.

”I will take this deal, but I can't take care of her for a lifetime. I will only take of her her till she graduates and has a stable job.” I pondered and decided to agree.
