Chapter 59
Yunmian was awakened by the noisy sound of rain.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed. The little devil who had escaped last night was actually sitting obediently on the windowsill, but his cheeks were puffy and there was much less blood on his face. He was staring at Yunmian fiercely.
Yunmian first looked up at Yu Anan who was lying on the upper bunk. A deaf girl next to her saw her movements and used childish sign language to gently gesture to tell Yunmian that Yu Anan had already gone out.
“Thank you~” Yun Mian didn’t know sign language, so she could only carefully make her lip movements to say thank you clearer.
The little girl saw her lip shape, pursed her lips, smiled silently and waved at her.
Even though she saw Yun Mian reaching out and picking up something invisible from the windowsill, she was not too panicked. She just tilted her head to take a look, then turned around and continued to fold her quilt.
She is older than Yunmian and Yu Anan, and already has some basic self-care abilities.
Yun Mian hugged the little ghost and rubbed its head, then pinched its cold paws and coughed a few times, then stood on tiptoe to gently close the window so that the raindrops outside would not splash in.
The system flew to the ghost's head and reminded its host: "Mianmian, tonight is the day when the gates of hell are wide open. You must protect yourself."
In fact, Yunmian is not much different from a ghost now. His whole body is filled with tangled death and yin energy, and his face is pale. If he goes out in the middle of the night and encounters a ghost, he might be mistaken for a ghost of the same kind.
But Yunmian has spiritual pupils and merits... These may be more attractive to yin objects than Yu Anan, the protagonist who was born in a yin year, yin month and yin time.
Yunmian nodded obediently, and after washing up, she put on another piece of clothing under the care of the nurse.
It rained heavily today, so the caregivers kept the children indoors.
Yun Mian was rejected by most of the other kids, so she sat alone on a small stool in the corridor outside, holding the equally quiet little kid in her arms, staring at the gloomy rain in a daze.
It’s raining so hard, will my mother get wet when she comes to see me?
Did mom bring an umbrella? Will ghosts catch a cold if they get caught in the rain?
Thoughts slowly flashed through my mind, and were slowly replaced by the next new idea.
"Baby, where is your mother?" Yun Mian lowered her head and chatted with the little ghost doll in her arms.
The ghost doll ignored her and held her thin fingers and bit them hard.
Yunmian didn't care when she didn't get an answer and just talked about her mother.
"My mother is very beautiful. She combs my hair beautifully, buys me beautiful dresses, and bakes sweet cookies..."
"I miss my mother."
Yun Mian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. It was only two days since she last saw her mother, but she felt as if a very long time had passed. It was so long that her memory of her illness had become extremely vague. She could only deepen her memory by bringing it up and recalling it again and again.
She didn't want to forget any memory of her mother.
But my brain thinks so slowly, and many memories disappeared without me noticing, as if they were erased bit by bit by an eraser, leaving only fuzzy light grey marks.
The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.
The gates of hell are wide open, and hundreds of ghosts are roaming around at night.
The dim yellow lights of the welfare home became increasingly dimmer in the rain. The noisy sounds of rain and thunder were intertwined. In a trance, one seemed to hear the cries of ghosts coming from far and near in the rain.
Yunmian hid Yu Anan, who had been sick and restless since the afternoon, in her bed. She let the equally restless little ghost go, and sat by the bed, holding the little princess backpack her mother had bought for her, waiting quietly for someone to listen.
A ghost was flying through the dark rain outside the window, and the evil energy mixed with the damp and cold night wind was whimpering into the house.
Yun Mian slowly pursed her lips, staring palely at the wandering souls and evil spirits that were densely gathered in the dormitory.
Slender black shadows dripping with blood were surrounding her. Almost all the space in the dormitory was occupied by ghosts. Yun Mian felt that her originally smooth breathing was slowly becoming difficult and sluggish, just like her head that could never turn.
Yun Mian put down her schoolbag, patted Yu Anan, who was sobbing and shivering on the bed with a high fever, hid her in the quilt as much as possible, then opened her little hands and stood in front of her without hesitation.
"You can't eat her." The little girl, who could hardly protect herself, stubbornly made a protective gesture.
The female ghost was mixed in with the ghosts. Seeing this, she sneered and grabbed a wandering soul and stuffed it into her mouth.
There are already several evil ghosts and demons in the ghost pile who are more powerful than her. When the ghost gate opens, even the ghost king who used to guard the ghost world will come to the human world to roam and hunt. This is the most anticipated day of the year for ghosts.
She was sure that most of the ghosts that came out of the nearby ghost gate must have smelled the scent and ran towards this orphanage.
After all... the smell of these two children, Yu Anan and Yun Mian, is enough to make any evil creature excited.
Yun Mian also saw the female ghost, but she did not call her sister again because she saw the chilling greedy appetite on the hideous faces of more ghosts.
They wanted to eat themselves and Yu Anan.
Yun Mian tried to stretch her short and thin arms a little longer, and then protected Yu An'an, and said to these ghosts who were not sure whether they could understand human language: "Don't eat her, she still needs to find new parents."
During the silent confrontation, a hoarse ghostly voice sounded. It was an old woman with a kind face but a very scary smile.
She asked Yunmian in a hoarse voice: "If we are not allowed to eat her, can we eat you? Little girl, we have been hungry for a long, long time..."
She was standing in front of Yun Mian, with her back hunched and her silver-white hair stained with traces of blood. She was a ghost that could transform into a physical form. The ghosts nearby would subconsciously stay away from her when they saw her.
Yun Mian was so close to her that she could even smell the fishy and rotten blood coming from the old woman.
Under the gaze of those eerie ghost eyes, Yun Mian shook her head seriously. Before the old woman's face changed, she explained slowly, "I'm sorry, grandma. I can't feed you. I have to support my mother. If you eat me, my mother won't be able to find me. She will definitely cry secretly."
The faint ghost crying sound in the room stopped for a moment strangely.
The old woman stared at Yunmian strangely for a moment, and when she found that the little kid was actually explaining the reason seriously, her throat choked for unknown reasons.
As the female ghost watched this scene, a sentence that she had peeked at on the caregiver's phone some time ago came to her mind: Sincerity is always the most powerful killer move.
Yunmian is too sincere, so sincere that she is a little silly, like a fool.
But the little girl herself obviously didn't think she was stupid. She was afraid that other ghosts would secretly bite Yu Anan in the quilt when she wasn't paying attention, so she changed her posture, wrapped Yu Anan in the quilt and hugged her tightly, patted the quilt and coaxed Yu Anan, who was the same age as her, not to be afraid, but she herself rushed forward recklessly without dodging and faced the ghosts in the room.
From time to time, a few uncontrollable coughs escaped from her throat. Under the siege of evil creatures in the room, the soul fire on her shoulders and head became dimmer and dimmer, but because of the existence of her spiritual pupils and merits, it continued to burn and shake strongly.
An insane little ghost rushed over and tried to bite her. She just held Yu Anan tightly through the quilt and buried her head, allowing herself to be bitten by the ghost.
It doesn’t hurt anyway…
The ghost doll gnawed at her for two whole days but couldn't eat anything. Yunmian was really not afraid of these ghosts, especially since her mother was about to become one of them.
So Yunmian treated these ghosts as humans when communicating, and even her explanations and apologies were very serious and well-behaved.
The old woman's pair of dark eyes hiding a spooky ghost stared at the little ghosts gnawing at Yunmian for a long time, then she waved her hand to disperse the confused little ghosts' souls. This also frightened other ghosts that were ready to move, making them hesitate and dare not come forward.
Except for one ghost.
A female ghost with broken pieces all over her body and bleeding.
She seemed to be out of consciousness, but her scarlet eyes were staring straight at Yunmian. When all the ghosts could no longer hold back, she floated in front of Yunmian in a daze and stretched out her hand to grab Yunmian.
The ghost who transformed into an old woman sneered when she saw this and was about to destroy the female ghost that had just formed, but a small figure was one step faster than her and pounced on the ghost.
"Mother!!!"
Yun Mian got out of bed in a panic, not caring about Yu Anan behind her, and pounced on her mother faster than ever before.
"Mom." Yun Mian stood barefoot on the cold ground, holding the broken pieces of flesh on his mother's body tightly with both hands, and leaning against her affectionately with his face tilted.
But she did not get the expected response.
The ghost belonging to Yun Jinli floated there aimlessly, with lifeless eyes, allowing her to hug him without giving any response.
"Mom?" Yun Mian let go of her mother a little confused and looked up at her blankly.
A familiar ghostly voice rang in my ear: "How interesting~"
Yunmian looked over and met the ghost girl's gaze as she looked her mother up and down.
She subconsciously hid her mother behind her, not realizing that she could not be hidden between her big mother and her tiny self.
"Little kid, is she your mother?" Guisha also looked at Yun Jinli.
Yunmian hid her mother and nodded to the ghosts in the room, "You can't eat my mother either... please."
This was the first time she used a pleading tone, because just now she saw many ghosts being eaten by the more powerful ghost Tuanba Tuanba.
She didn't feel anything at that time, but now as she protected her mother, Yunmian finally knew what fear was.
The ghost laughed hoarsely and said, "It's very interesting. When I was a human, I had a lot of bad luck. I finally became a ghost, but because the ghost gate opened, the huge negative energy dispersed my soul."
Yun Jinli was filled with a ghostly aura, at least at the level of a fierce ghost. It was rare for him to be at this level just after death, even in the entire ghost world.
But it just so happened that she turned into a ghost when the ghost gate opened, and her soul was dispersed because of the opening of the ghost gate.
Even ordinary evil ghosts can be conscious and think, but Yun Jinli has unexpectedly become a fierce ghost with an incomplete soul.
He has lost his mind, only knows how to kill, and doesn't know how to practice. He will be doomed sooner or later.
Yun Mian didn't understand those things about the ghost world, she just stared at every ghost warily. Even though she was shivering with cold, she still stood barefoot on the ground, stubbornly opening her arms to protect her mother and Yu Anan.
Seeing her like this, the female ghost shook her head and said quietly, "Child, listen to my advice and hand your mother over to them to take her back to the ghost world, otherwise she will eat you sooner or later."
A demon without mind only knows how to kill and has no emotions at all. So what even if Yunmian is her daughter?
When Yun Mian's merits disappear, Yun Jinli will definitely eat his own child as soon as possible.
That’s right, this world is about Little Daidai taking care of Big Daidai~
