C9 (2/2)

The old Daoist sighed emotionally and said he never thought that he would be able to see Aunt Tao again after living for so long. He had no choice but to continue to wander around; Aunt Tao could definitely stay in the Aunt House.

”Even if I can't wait for her, I will come back then. Since I have to wait for her, I will bring her back. ”Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind, and nothing I say will work.” The Aunt Tao interrupted the old Daoist, and her voice was firm.

”Look at your temper! It's the same as it was back then! You're already pissed before I even said anything!” The old Daoist smacked his tongue.

”Don't you think that she has suffered enough?” The old Daoist sighed and said.

”This is her life.” Aunt Tao briefly followed up the old Daoist's words.

After the Aunt Tao and the old Daoist stayed silent for a while, the old Daoist said goodbye to the Aunt Tao and the Aunt Tao told the old Daoist that they had a safe trip.

Squatting in the weeds, I didn't dare to move. I watched Aunt Tao walk for a long distance before she dared to come out.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I could no longer see the old Daoist.

I followed the old Daoist in the direction he had left, but I still didn't see him.

I didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately turned back to return to Aunt House.

When I returned to the Aunt House, before the Aunt Tao had returned, when I went back to my room to practice, my mind was filled with thoughts of where Zuo Mu had gone to.

I don't care at all who the Aunt Tao and the old Taoist are referring to in his words.

The Aunt Tao returned after dark. She told me that she had settled the matter of Big Sister Bujue and that our village had been safe and sound for some time now.

She still hadn't been able to find out who the person Gu Dahai had resurrected was.

Listening to Aunt Tao telling me that I was uninterested and that I didn't want her to see through my emotions, I waited for Aunt Tao to finish and asked her why she used her Evil Qi and yin qi to devour the revived people.

The Aunt Tao told me that the difference between resurrected people and normal people is that the revived people can only survive after absorbing Baleful Qi or yin qi.

When Aunt Tao finished answering my question, she asked me where I had gone to during the day. My heart was beating strongly and I calmly said that I had gone out to stroll around the vicinity of Aunt House.

Aunt Tao did not question further as she continued to teach me how to read and write.

The next day, Aunt Tao went out to bring back a girl around my age to comb her hair. She told the girl to stay in the same room with me and to read and write with me.

After Zuo Mu left without saying goodbye, I started to feel estranged from everyone, including that girl Yu Kexin who was the same age as me.

Even so, I still took good care of Yu Kexin who was younger than me by a few months, even though I was only eight at the time.

I didn't ask anyone if the old Daoist I saw previously was Taoist Jingyan or not. I couldn't even find him anymore.

The voices of the Aunt House Self-bunning Lady s discussing about Big Sister Everlasting's matter gradually lessened. Later on, I heard that because of some mental disorder, that Big Sister had lost her way, and her family members were still unable to find her for a few days.

After Yu Kexin and I incense it at the beginning of another month, Aunt Tao, who were wiping the gods in the main hall, told Yu Kexin and I to rest for the whole morning without learning anything.

After Yu Kexin came out of the main hall, she suggested going out to play, and said that she had not stepped out of the Aunt House door since arriving at the Aunt House. I hesitated for a while, before agreeing to Yu Kexin's suggestion.

There's still a bit of distance between Aunt House and the closest village, Yu Kexin and I will go to the mountain next to Aunt House to pick the fruits.

The mountain closest to Aunt House was steep and tall, and there were very few people who would stroll around the mountain on a normal day.

There were a lot of wild fruits on Autumn Mountain. Yu Kexin and I picked them while eating, and unknowingly, we had already walked halfway up the mountain.

When I realized that I would miss lunch later, I reminded Yu Kexin that it was time to return to the Aunt House.

Yu Kexin was a little reluctant to go back after reaching the top of the mountain. Seeing that I was insistent, she pointed to the Golden Cherry on the mountain higher up, saying that she would go back with me if she were to pick more Golden Cherry Pearls.

I didn't want Yu Kexin to drag out any more time, so I stayed put and waited for her to remind her to be safe before returning quickly.

While I was waiting, I accidentally found a red embroidered shoe in the nearby grass. The size and style of the shoe were exactly the same as the one my sister had worn earlier.

I picked up the red embroidered shoes and began to search the hills for my big sister, whom I expected to find in the shortest time possible before I took her home.

I started to look around from the side of the mountain with Yu Kexin and I. When I passed by Yu Kexin, Yu Kexin smiled at me hypocritically, saying that I had gotten addicted to playing when I urged her to return.

I remember the Aunt House Self-bunning Lady said that big sister had gone insane, afraid that they would disturb that big sister. I didn't explain anything to Yu Kexin and only reminded her to make fewer movements, then continued to search for big sister Bu Luo family.

I found the top of the hill, but I couldn't find the sister, so I was going to search the other side.

It was also at this moment that I heard a faint sound coming from the other side of the mountain.

I immediately lightened my movement and followed the sound to get closer. In the end, what I saw shocked me greatly.

In a cove, the sister had a rag stuffed in her mouth and her hands were tied to her head.

There was a ghost with her legs apart and was crawling on top of her. Behind the ghost were two other ghost boys.

An old lady with a head full of long black hair and a dirty face full of wrinkles sat cross-legged beside her sister. She stared at her sister with a mocking smile.
