Chapter 207 Old Objects
"I was wondering why such a beautiful bamboo basket was placed in the utility room. I reached out to take it to another room, but as soon as I touched it, it bounced me away."
"Then it quickly crawled from the shelf like a snake, coiled around the beam and disappeared."
"I didn't drink this time. When I told my family, they still didn't believe me. It wasn't until they saw it with their own eyes that they believed what I said."
Whenever Zuo Peng thought about it, he felt like these things were just a dream.
Su Nuobai smiled faintly: "Did you encounter a group of three-inch little people playing music and singing to welcome the bride? As soon as you made a sound, they quickly disappeared."
Zuo Peng's eyes widened and he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's right. But it scared our family so much, it really looked like that."
"Master Su, is there really something dirty in our house?"
"It's not really a dirty thing, it's just an old item." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
"Old stuff?" Zuo Peng looked puzzled.
Su Nuobai nodded: "This old thing is quite old. It has been with people for a long time and has absorbed some of their spirit and energy. It will imitate some of their behaviors and living habits."
"It just has a few minor flaws and likes to play pranks and scare people. But it's actually just a paper tiger. It's even more timid than you."
Zuo Peng: "What should we do then?"
"This old thing is quite old. It would be a pity to destroy it. If you really don't want it, why not sell it to me?" Su Nuobai gave him a suggestion.
Zuo Peng thought for a moment: "What would happen if I leave it here?"
Su Nuobai: "It's not a big deal, but he often plays pranks on me. This time it was for a wedding, next time it might be for a funeral, or all sorts of weird things."
"You can watch it for fun, it's an imitation of human behavior."
Zuo Peng hesitated for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of an old object becoming a spirit. It was okay for them if it happened all the time, but they were afraid of scaring the elderly and children.
“Master Su, I’ll sell it to you, but I don’t know what this old thing is.”
Su Nuobai looked at Feng Zhi and said, "Feng Zhi, go with him to their kitchen."
Feng Zhi nodded, stood up and prepared to go to their house with Zuo Peng.
Zuo Peng first went to the bun shop next door and bought three buns and handed them to Su Nuobai: "Master Su, this is the divination money."
Su Nuobai took it with a smile, asked Mo Bao if he wanted to eat it, and then put it in his backpack.
At this time, Wang Shu came over holding a swaddling baby, and everyone around made way for her to pass.
"Master Su, this is the child."
Su Nuobai reached out and took the baby in the cradle, opened it and took a look at the child who was sleeping soundly.
This child is born very well, with a full forehead, moderate distance between eyebrows and eyes, and round and thick earlobes. He is a very blessed child.
He opened his eyes and looked at Su Nuobai, blinked twice and fell asleep again, very well-behaved and quiet.
Uncle Jia stretched his head to take a look and said: "Oh, this child looks handsome."
Su Nuobai looked at Wang Shu and said, "You are not destined to be married, but you have a son. This child is filial and grateful, and will be filial to you in the future."
"You can choose not to raise him. I can send him to the farm to be raised. And let me tell you, his mother didn't die by falling into the water."
"Someone had a crush on her and wanted to do something indecent to her. During an argument, she was pushed into the river, which is why she died. If you want to raise her, you should help her get revenge first."
Wang Shu was stunned: "They all said she fell into the water and didn't even know where her child was."
"It's perfectly normal for a beautiful widow with no elders or relatives at home to be missed by others."
"People wouldn't say anything bad about the man, they would just say she seduced him. So she rarely went out on weekdays, and even did her laundry by quietly going to the river at night."
"Who knew she would be seen by someone who followed her, and that's how she lost her life. But she loved the child so much that even as a ghost she hoped she could give birth to him safely."
"Without any family, she didn't know who to entrust the child to. She had only heard people mention that Wang Wenpo was a very capable midwife who had saved many women and children."
"She also knew that you had no children, so she wanted to give this child to you, hoping that you would adopt him because of the kindness she had in delivering him."
After Su Nuobai finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms. This little guy was really adorable.
After listening to this, Wang Shu made a decision: "Master Su, since this child and I are destined to be together, I am willing to adopt him. However, I will report to the authorities now. Could you please help me look after him?"
"Okay." Su Nuobai agreed readily.
Uncle Jia looked at the child and felt itchy: "Give me a hug."
Su Nuobai handed the child to him.
After hearing this, the others were not afraid of the child. They all looked at the child. The child was very likable.
Everyone who sees it wants to go up and tease it a bit. The little guy doesn't cry or make a fuss when he wakes up, and he always has a little face for everyone.
But we can't ignore these spectators.
Uncle Jia asked quietly, "If this aunt didn't raise it, would you really raise it on your farm?"
Su Nuobai nodded: "This child is very good. I won't necessarily suffer any loss if I raise him."
The child strolled around and returned to Su Nuobai's arms. He waved his little hands as if to say hello to her.
Su Nuobai stretched out a finger for him to play with, and Wei Ling's voice transmission was received here.
"Miss, Yao Zhen asked me to ask when you would be free to help their family choose a new location for their ancestral grave."
Su Nuobai: "Is the location they chose far from Shengjing City?"
Wei Ling took a long time to reply: "Master Yao said it's not far and he will be back that day."
Su Nuobai made some calculations with his fingers and said, "Tell him to pick me up at the market stall tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll talk to him right away." Wei Ling said and ended the voice transmission.
Brother Zhou came over and said, "Master Su, do you think the murderer who killed his mother can be caught?"
"Yes, you can. Don't underestimate the government. Lord Wei, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple are all very powerful." Su Nuobai had already calculated it.
Lord Wei will catch the murderer this time and won't need her help.
Su Nuobai looked up and saw a carriage passing by the street. She looked at the coachman and frowned slightly.
Xiao Jiang was also stunned: "Pulling a cart..."
He didn't finish his words because he was afraid of scaring the people around him.
"Go and invite this coachman over!" Su Nuobai patted Xiao Jiang's head.
Xiao Jiang pouted, stood up and caught up with the carriage: "Uncle, wait a minute."
The driver immediately grabbed the reins and looked at Xiao Jiang beside him: "Kid, why are you stopping my carriage?"
"Uncle, is this carriage yours?" Xiao Jiang asked while looking into the carriage.
"Yes, I just bought it. Is there any problem?" The driver looked puzzled.
