"Mother?!"

Upon hearing this voice, the younger brother excitedly looked at the person on the hospital bed. However, he did not see the person on the bed wake up, but he heard a familiar voice say, "Mom what Mom? I'm not awake yet, and you can't see me. Ugh, being a ghost is so troublesome. You can't touch me, you can't see me, and you can't hear me."

"Mom, where are you? I... I can hear you!"

The younger brother stared in astonishment at an empty space in the room, because the sound had come from that empty space!

After the younger brother finished speaking, the room was quiet for a moment, but then the voice rang out again, sounding very excited: "Son, son, can you really hear what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I can hear you, but Mom, what's wrong with you? Why can't I see you? Doctor, doctor!"

The younger brother was also very excited; he even wanted to call the doctor again, but was stopped by that voice.

"Hey, son, stop calling, stop calling. It's no use calling. I'm a ghost now, you can't hear me."

"What's going on, Mom? You...you're not dead yet, how did you turn into a ghost?"

The younger brother looked at the empty space with a mixture of excitement and panic and said, "Mom, go back into your body, you're not dead yet."

"Hey, do you think I don't want to go back? But I can't go back. I've probably become a ghost."

The spirit stood next to her son and said, "It's good that you can hear me. Here's what we'll do: call your sister over so we can have a proper talk. Don't call the doctor; it's no use."

"Oh, okay, Mom, why don't you try going back into your body? You're not dead yet, you can't become a ghost."

The younger brother was very panicked because he was worried that his mother, who was still breathing, would suddenly stop breathing and then she would really become a ghost.

The mother could see her son's fear. She lovingly stroked his head, though she couldn't quite touch it as the pat passed right through it. But she still said softly, "Don't be afraid, Mom will always be by your side."

The younger brother called his older sister, who rushed to the hospital. Upon hearing her brother's and mother's voices, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Crying, she cried, "Mom, I really heard your voice today! You can't die! How could you become a ghost? Even if you're a ghost, we'll bring you back!"

"Oh, silly child, don't cry. Mommy is old and will die too."

The spirit mother comforted the two children, though she herself was also reluctant to part with them, but there was nothing she could do.

At this moment, the grieving younger brother suddenly thought of a solution. He said, "Mom, sister, I've thought of a way. Since Mom has become a ghost, why don't we find some people who know magic to save her? She's not dead yet, so they must have a way to save her."

"Yes, that's right. Since there are ghosts in this world, there must be Taoist priests and sorcerers too. Let's ask them to save Mom."

My older sister said excitedly, "Let's hurry and find those people to rescue Mom!"

"But where should we look for those people? At the temple?"

The younger brother thought for a moment and then said.

Hearing her children talking about it, the mother nearby was also a little tempted. She said, "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe it will work. But you should find someone reliable so you don't get scammed."

"Okay, I understand. And even if someone wanted to lie, they couldn't. Mom, you can talk to us. If someone were a liar, they would have run away as soon as they saw a ghost."

The younger brother made up his mind and said, "I'll go to the dojo and temple tomorrow to look for it."

“Brother, go find someone. I’ll stay at the hospital and take care of Mom. Mom, you should try to wake up on your own.”

My sister said, "If only you could wake up on your own, then you wouldn't have to go looking for those people. I wonder if the enlightened monks will have any influence on your ghost."

The mother replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll go try it now."
