Chapter 101 My younger brother has the ability to see ghosts?

Li Lecan rushed towards his parents.

However, all she brought to her parents was a chilling aura.

The moment her soul approached her parents, it scattered like a gust of wind.

After her parents helped each other over her body, her soul gradually solidified.

"..."

Li Lecan looked down at his body, which had solidified again.

Transparent, ethereal, and cold.

This is her now.

It wasn't until she reconnected with the living that she awoke from her childlike naive optimism and gained a true understanding of death.

So, she really was dead.

She has become so oblivious that even when she stands in front of her parents, they cannot see her face.

Xiao An's mother, who was in poor health, sneezed and couldn't help but rub her arms.

Xiao An's father put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said, "You're not feeling well, you should wear more clothes."

"Yes." Xiao An's mother nodded.

Seemingly sensing something, she and her husband supported each other as they walked forward.

But she couldn't help but slowly turn around.

The corridor behind me was dark, narrow, and empty.

Unlike when she was little, her daughter didn't suddenly jump out from a corner of the stairwell when she played hide-and-seek with her.

It probably won't happen again.

Disappointed, she lowered her eyes and leaned all her weight on her husband.

"Once we get paid this month, we'll go pay off our debts."

She suddenly spoke.

"Let's stay here for another year and wait for our daughter."

Her voice sounded tired.

“I always felt that she would come back.”

husband:"……"

Xiao An's father's Adam's apple bobbed, and his lips moved slightly.

In the end, nothing was said.

He helped his wife walk towards home, saying, "Okay, let's stay for another year."

He spoke very softly.

"I found another job with a high salary."

"If we work hard for two years and pay off our debts, we can cancel the mortgage on the house."

"You can stay here as long as you want..."

"Dad, Mom..."

Li Lecan watched her parents' hunched figures go upstairs, then knelt on the ground, staring at her own transparent arms.

Blood-red tears streamed from her eyes, dripping down her body.

Her parents were waiting for her, but she could never come back.

"Sister Can..."

Xiaomin ran to Li Lecan's side, worried.

Looking at her sad profile, she didn't know what to say.

Just as she hesitated, Li Lecan suddenly stood up.

Xiaomin followed her as she stood up and looked up in confusion.

"Sister Can?"

Li Lecan wiped away her tears.

“I have a younger brother, and I want to go see him.”

Her mother was pregnant before she died.

The elders all preferred boys and often teased her, saying that once her younger brother was born, she should take care of him and be a good older sister.

She rolled her eyes and said she was a child too.

But I still can't help but wonder if my parents will really be more biased after my younger brother is born.

At the time, her mother was pregnant and had a bad temper, often neglecting her.

With all sorts of emotions weighing on her, she and her mother often argued during that period.

She originally thought her younger brother would be pampered by the whole family after he was born, but he turned into a problem child because of her disappearance.

Li Lecan walked towards his parents' direction. "When I died, my mother was newly pregnant and always had morning sickness."

"If my neighbor hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about him."

Xiaomin was worried that saying too much would lead to making mistakes, so she just nodded carefully and didn't say anything.

But as soon as they went upstairs, before they even reached Li Lecan's door, they heard shouts coming from inside the house, each one louder than the last:

"Ang Lee?"

"son?"

"Xiao An, where are you?"

"Son, stop hiding, come out quickly!"

Li Lecan was taken aback and quickly floated over.

The soul passed through the door and entered the familiar house, where her parents were rummaging through drawers and cupboards looking for her.

Xiaomin followed him into the house, unable to contain her anxiety.

"Sister Can, are your aunt and uncle looking for your brother?"

Li Lecan nervously walked into the room.

The small room wasn't hard to find; her soul wandered through every corner of the house, but she didn't see her younger brother.

In an instant, her already pale face turned even paler.

"My brother isn't home..."

Xiaomin turned her gaze away from the busy couple and offered her some words of comfort:

"Judging from your parents' and neighbors' conversation, your younger brother should be around ten years old, right?"

"A ten-year-old child is not a child anymore. It's normal for him to go out and play alone. Don't worry."

Li Lecan shook his head nervously: "No, that's not it..."

Since her parents are so worried, it means that it's very abnormal for her brother to go out.

Sure enough, after searching the house and finding nothing, his parents hurriedly went to look for him in the stairwell.

A neighbor heard her parents shouting and came out of the door.

"Your youngest son has disappeared again?"

"Yes!" Li Lecan's mother turned her head, her eyes red. "Sister, have you seen my son?"

"No, I didn't go out all day."

The kind neighbor changed her shoes and came out, saying, "I don't have anything else to do, so I'll help you look for it."

"Thank you so much, big sister!"

Li Lecan's mother thanked her repeatedly.

The three of them were busy in the hallway when a young man suddenly pushed open his own front door.

The iron gate slammed against the wall with a loud thud.

He reeked of alcohol, and his face was flushed red.

Before even opening his eyes, he started making noises in the hallway:

"What are you doing in the middle of the day? Can't a person get some sleep?"

"They're looking for their child all day long, every single day!"

"After searching for the older one, they started looking for the younger one, shouting in the hallway every day!"

"If the child has a mental problem, just take him to the hospital. Leaving him at home and he keeps running away. You're looking for him every day, it's a disturbance!"

The neighbor lady glanced at the young man and said, "No matter how loud we are, we're not as loud as you!"

"You're yelling so loudly, all the neighbors could hear you! Who's disturbing the peace more?"

The young man, intoxicated, clutched an empty bottle and charged at them menacingly.

"You fat bastard, what did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

"You dare call me fat woman?!"

The neighbor lady stared wide-eyed.

He took off his shoes, grabbed them, and charged forward menacingly.

"You bastard, where am I fat! How dare you say I'm fat?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Li Lecan's parents quickly tried to break them up.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Please stop fighting!"

The neighbor auntie shoved the couple aside, saying, "You two, mind your own business!"

She barked a fierce threat at the young man, "If you're a man, you stay here!"

"You dare call me fat! I'll get my son and husband over here right now and show you what real fat looks like!"

Seeing that she really went home to call for help, the young man chickened out and hurried home.

But when he passed by Li Lecan's parents, he still gave them a haughty look.

"Two jinxes, unable to keep either of your children. No wonder your son was locked in a dog cage!"

After saying that, he quickly wanted to go home.

But before he could take two steps, the back of his collar was suddenly grabbed.

He was pulled hard, his vision blurred, and when his vision calmed down, he saw a magnified face.

The middle-aged man, whom he thought was very good-tempered, was gripping his collar tightly, his eyes bloodshot, like an enraged bull.

"You're saying my son was locked in a dog cage? What do you mean?"

Seeing his bloodshot eyes, the arrogant man instantly cowered.

"I...I'm not me! They're your son's classmates!"

He pointed out the window.

"When I came back a couple of days ago, it happened to be the time when your son was getting out of school. I saw your son being dragged into an alley by his classmate."

“When I passed by that alley at night, I saw your son locked in an abandoned dog cage, crying the whole time…”

As he spoke, he suddenly became self-righteous.

"Me! I'm the one who saved your son! You should thank... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly pushed by a tremendous force.

Li Lecan's mother, her eyes bloodshot, gripped his collar tightly.

"Where! Where's that dog cage?! Tell me, which dog cage is it?!"

The young man trembled with fear at her expression.

"It's...it's over at the abandoned factory behind this building..."

Li Lecan's parents rushed over.

The young man lay on the ground, watching them walk away before daring to complain.

"Madmen! A bunch of madmen! Cough cough!"

He got up from the ground and started kicking at the air.

"What the hell is wrong of me to have such a bunch of lunatics as neighbors!"

He had just finished complaining when he suddenly heard a roar from behind:

"Damn it! You dare say my wife is fat? You stop right there!"

Young man: "!!!"

He was being brutally beaten here, while Li Lecan's parents quickly walked towards the location he indicated.

Li Lecan's ghost form can pass through walls and arrive at the location faster than his parents.

She spotted the abandoned dog cage at a glance.

This dog crate used to be for large dogs, but now it's big enough for a small child to sit inside with their legs tucked in.

At this moment, a thin little boy was locked inside, and around the dog cage were four or five little boys around ten years old.

They held small stones in their hands and kept throwing them into the dog cage.

While throwing them, they sang cheerful songs:

"Li An'an, you liar! You lie all the time, you're poorer than a dog! You're a jinx, you'll bring death to your sister!"

"Li An'an, you liar! You lie all the time, you're poorer than a dog! You're a jinx, you'll bring death to your sister!"

...

They circled around the dog cage, their faces bearing innocent yet wicked smiles.

Li Lecan's eyes turned red with anger.

"You bunch of despicable bastards!"

She pounced on him suddenly.

"Go to hell, all of you!!!"

However, her actions only brought a cool breeze to a few sweaty and tired kids.

He passed through the children, collapsed to the ground, and his soul solidified once more.

Tears welled up in Li Lecan's eyes.

"You despicable...you wretched brat..."

"Don't you dare bully my brother!!"

However, the only response she received was the smug laughter of the brat and the crying of the skinny little boy in the dog cage.

The little boy was wearing wrinkled clothes and was curled up into a small ball to protect himself.

She turned her back to the pebbles, her shoulders trembling as she cried, her voice barely audible.

The kids, however, were very excited.

"Did you hear that? The jinx is crying!"

"Wow, you jinx, are you scared? If you don't want to be bullied anymore, buy me some snacks!"

"I know your family is poor, so give me ten yuan!"

"I want ten yuan too! You jinx, did you hear me? Promise to give us the money and we'll let you out!"

But the only response they received was the suppressed sobs of the little boy in the dog cage.

"Tsk, what a jinx!"

One of the naughty kids' faces fell, and he kicked the dog cage hard.

"Are you going to give us the money or not? Give us your answer!"

The dog cage was kicked so hard that the little boy inside stopped crying and instinctively moved further inside the cage.

Seeing that he remained silent, the brat was both angry and annoyed, and said disdainfully:

"You're not only a jinx, you're also mute?"

He found a stick and poked the boy in the dog cage, laughing maliciously.

"If you don't want to pay, just shout 'I'm a jinx' three times, and I'll let you out!"

He deliberately broke the stick and used the sharp end to poke the boy in the dog cage.

With a firm poke, a small red dot tinged with blood immediately appeared on the skin.

Li Lecan glared fiercely at the brat who was poking people with a stick, and his body began to churn with dark energy.

"You little brat..."

"Go to hell!!"

She lunged at him with bloodshot eyes.

This time, however, it was not in vain.

Just as he lunged forward, the mischievous child seemed to sense something and turned his head away.

A grotesque, pale blue face loomed larger and larger in his vision, its eyes as white as lychees.

His eyes widened, his pupils gradually contracted, and his smug smile vanished without a trace.

"Ah!!! A ghost!!!"

He yelled and threw down the stick he was holding.

Terrified, she burst into tears, scrambled to her feet, and wet her pants.

Upon hearing that something was amiss, the other children, regardless of whether it was true or not, also screamed and ran away.

Hearing their screams, Li Lecan's parents, who rushed over, quickly located their son.

"Xiao An!"

"son!"

The two ran over and immediately saw their son locked in the dog cage.

Li Lecan's mother's eyes widened, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"son!!!"

She yelled and rushed over, frantically loosening the lock on the cage and pulling her crying son out.

"Mother……"

"My son! My son!"

Holding their son in their arms, they burst into tears. Only then did the couple realize how much they had mistreated their son.

The husband held the weeping mother and son in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

"Xiao An, you were bullied, why didn't you tell your mom and dad!"

Those bad kids are very clever; they will test people's limits step by step.

Those kids must have been bullying my son for a long time to dare to go so far.

Li Lecan's father knelt on the ground, his face covered in snot and tears.

The neighbor is right, they've been neglecting this child far too much!

"Xiao An, we're sorry! It's your mom and dad who are sorry!"

"Mom and Dad will never let you go to and from school by yourself again. From now on, Mom and Dad will pick you up!"

The family of three embraced and wept bitterly.

Li Lecan, whose complexion had returned to normal, knelt down beside him and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's my fault...it's all my fault! It's all my fault for dying so mysteriously, which is why my parents have been searching for me for so many years!"

"If only I hadn't died back then, Xiao An wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Relying on the fact that no one could hear her, she cried louder and louder.

Xiaomin stood beside her, her lips pursed in worry, unsure of what to say to comfort her.

She hugged the trembling, crying Li Lechan, letting her lean all her weight on her.

Looking at the family of three being held in their arms, I couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and worry.

I envy them because I think they are a happy family of three.

She worried that she might also die mysteriously, and that her family might have undergone tremendous changes.

She misses her parents so much too...

Chu Ci arrived last, and by the time she got there, the three people and two ghosts were already crying.

Xiaomin choked back tears as she recounted the whole story to her, finally bursting into tears and yelling:

"Those brats are too much! I'm going to scare them! I'll make them live in the shadows for the rest of their lives!"

Chu Ci ignored her, squatted down beside the two of them, and looked at the little boy being held in the middle.

There was another living person behind her, but the little boy didn't look at her. Instead, he kept staring at Li Lecan, who was crying and trembling on the ground.

She waved her hand in front of the child, and the child finally looked up.

Looking into those eyes, dark and glistening with tears, Chu Ci asked him:

"Can you see them?"

Before Xiao An could answer, the couple, who were crying their hearts out, were startled by her.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The couple quickly wiped away their tears.

Feeling embarrassed to be crying like this in front of strangers, the couple apologized again.

She quickly picked up her son and left.

Xiao An lay on her mother's shoulder, her little nose red from crying.

His gaze, however, did not fall on Chu Ci, but rather on Li Lecan beside Chu Ci.

Meeting his younger brother's bright eyes, Li Lecan, who was kneeling on the ground, froze, suddenly realizing something.

“Xiao An…”

By the time she realized what was happening, her parents had already carried her younger brother across the corner.

"Xiao An!"

She quickly chased after them, but only saw her parents' backs as they drove away in a taxi.

She ran behind the taxi for a while, but ultimately failed to catch up with her parents' car.

When she returned to the original spot, Chu Ci was already waiting for her.

Seeing her completely distraught, Chu Ci comforted her:

"Your parents must have taken your brother to the hospital to check his injuries. I'll bring you here tonight."

Li Lecan said listlessly, "...Thank you, Master."

On the way back with Chu Ci, she stayed under the umbrella and couldn't help but ask:

"Master, my brother can see me, right?"

Chu Ci hummed in agreement.

“When you first came here, I stayed and asked the neighbors. Your brother… does seem a bit different.”

Compared to ordinary children whose third eye hasn't closed, Li Lecan's younger brother's eyes should be a more complex form of yin-yang eyes.

"According to your neighbor, he said he could see ghosts when he was very young."

"When he was in kindergarten, he reminded the parents of the other children not to drink and drive, but they just thought he was talking nonsense as a child."

"When the family returned from a gathering in the evening, the child's father was driving in a daze and caused a car accident. The child and the child's mother died on the spot."

“The child’s father said your younger brother is a jinx and brought a lot of people to cause trouble.”

But at the time, everyone just thought that the family of the child who was in the car accident was unlucky, and no one took it seriously.

"After your younger brother started elementary school, he said that the teacher's unborn child was going to die."

"Later, the teacher did indeed miscarry, and the other teachers were both afraid of and disgusted with him, so your brother got the nickname 'jinx'."

"Later, he told his best friend that his grandfather was going to die and asked his best friend to go home to see his grandfather. But his best friend felt that he was cursing him and started to hate him."

"Although your best friend's grandfather did die later, your brother was ostracized by his classmates."

These are examples that neighbors only learned about by chance when someone came to their house to cause trouble.

As for those neighbors who don't know, there are probably many more.

Li Lecan felt his head buzzing as he listened to Chu Ci's words.

"So, my brother... really can see ghosts..."

You can see her naturally too.

Chu Ci nodded and sighed silently.

From this perspective, Li Lechan's younger brother is actually more suitable to be a medium than she is.

She turned to walk back, but Li Lecan quickly stopped her.

"Master, where are you going?"

She looked in the direction of her own home, hoping that Chu Ci could help her younger brother.

Chu Ci patted her shoulder, "I have an appointment. We'll talk about your matter tonight."

She opened the umbrella. "The sun is strong today, you should go back inside the umbrella first."

Li Lecan lowered his eyes and nodded, "Then come again tonight."

She went back under the umbrella.

Chu Ci glanced at her watch; it was almost past the time she had agreed to meet Sun Lingyan.

She sighed and decided to take a taxi home.

He hurried back to the shop, where Sun Lingyan was already waiting.

She wore a fitted red dress today, and her makeup was still heavy.

The way she sat in the shop chatting with Grandma was like a red rose in full bloom.

Hearing the noise at the door, she turned her head to look.

A smile graced her fair face; she seemed to be having a very pleasant chat with her grandmother.

"Master Chu, you're finally back."

Grandma stood up with a smile. "Ah Ci, Miss Sun has been waiting here for a long time. Why are you only coming back now?"

Chu Ci: "Something came up, I was delayed."

She placed the umbrella in an empty room before sitting down in front of Sun Lingyan.

Sun Lingyan smiled as she looked at her panting.

His smile returned to its polite and distant tone. "Master Chu, you can rest more. I'm not in a hurry."

Chu Ci didn't stand on ceremony with her when she said that.

I poured myself a glass of water, drank it, and then sat back down.

Seeing that she had caught her breath, Sun Lingyan asked, "Master, I want to see Feng Qian..."

"You can't find her anymore, she's gone to be reincarnated," Chu Ci interrupted her.

Sun Lingyan's smile froze on her face.

"Reincarnated?"

Chu Ci: "Yes, I was just reincarnated."

She stared intently at Sun Lingyan's expression. "She seems to know you very well, saying that you two grew up together."

"She doesn't believe you would step over her to get ahead, and she trusts your character completely."

Sun Lingyan's face gradually lost its color, but she forced a smile.

"Master, you must be mistaken."

She curled her lips into a smile, and the sharp corners of her eyes gave her a somewhat mean look.

"In Hong Kong's entertainment industry, who doesn't know that I hate Feng Qian the most?"

Even if she dies, countless people will still compare me to her. As long as I take the innocent route, I will always be overshadowed by her.

"Given our relationship, how can she still trust my character?"

Chu Ci stared intently at her face, and she stared back at Chu Ci's face, trying to find some flaw in it.

But it didn't happen.

Even though she denied her relationship with Feng Qian, the young female master opposite her simply shrugged indifferently.

"Fine, if you say it's bad, then it's bad. Anyway, I only heard it from Feng Qian."

"It's up to you, the person involved, to decide the specifics."

After saying all that, she didn't mention anything else, and instead told them to leave.

"I originally wanted to remind Miss Sun this morning that she didn't need to come, but I don't have her contact information, so I can only trouble you to make the trip."

"Miss Sun, please leave."

Sun Lingyan stared at her expressionlessly, without moving.

Chu Ci raised an eyebrow: "Miss Sun, do you have any other questions?"

Staring at her young face for a while, Sun Lingyan suddenly leaned closer.

The rich floral fragrance drew closer, and Chu Ci instinctively tilted her head back, only to have Sun Lingyan grab her collar.

Those heavily made-up eyes narrowed and stared at her coldly.

"Did Feng Qian really tell you all of this?"

Chu Ci leaned back again and looked up into her eyes.

Who knew that upon looking at it, her head almost exploded.

"Chu Ci!"

Suddenly everything went black, and Chu Ci leaned back uncontrollably.

Sun Lingyan couldn't hold onto the clothes in her hand, and could only stare wide-eyed as she suddenly fell to the ground.

The moment Chu Ci fell to the ground, she saw Chu Ci's bloodshot eyes and the blood that suddenly gushed from his nose.

Thick, bright red blood flowed from her nasal cavity in large gushes.

It flowed down my cheeks, then down my neck, and finally onto the floor.

A small pool of blood formed on the ground.

Looking at the pool of blood that was still spreading, Sun Lingyan's voice trembled.

"Chu...Chu Ci!!!"
