The two walked to the place in Hong Hui's memory. Gu Wang took a look and said, "Are you sure it's here? There shouldn't be any corpses here." At least he didn't feel the cold and gloomy air.
Hong Hui affirmed, "That's right. I remember the terrain here clearly and will never forget it!"
She grabbed the engineer shovel and started digging frantically.
However, after digging for more than an hour, nothing was found.
Hong Hui couldn't bear the blow and collapsed, "How could this happen... I clearly remember it... I remember it..."
Gu Wang soothed him, "Don't worry, find someone to ask first. Now that you've collapsed, who can go find your daughter?"
Hong Hui was persuaded by him, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down.
Zhu Nu came over upon hearing the noise. After Gu Wang asked, she immediately replied, "Twenty years ago, someone did bury the remains of a little girl here."
Hong Hui hurriedly asked, "Where's the body? Was it taken away?"
Candle Girl: "No, she crawled out and left five years ago."
Hong Hui was stunned. "What?"
The Candle Girl looked at Gu Wang and said, "Your Excellency should know, right? The bones of the dead child are transformed..."
Gu Wang sighed, "It's a bone child, right? If a child dies with a lot of resentment and is buried in a place where yin energy gathers, the corpse will turn into a bone child and walk around."
However, the fact that a corpse can be transformed into a bone child in just fifteen years does show that this land is indeed unusual.
Tears streamed down Hong Hui's face as she repeatedly asked, "Where is she now? Is she starving? Is she being bullied? Will the Taoist priests or monks capture her?"
Gu Wang respected her motherly heart and comforted her repeatedly, "Don't worry, explain the situation clearly first, and then find a way to get the child back."
Seeing that he couldn't sleep tonight, Gu Wang didn't want to bring the person to his small cement bungalow, so he simply took him to the embroidery building.
Granny Dengying and Sun Fei were not resting either. They were not so particular after get off work and just floated over when they saw people.
Fortunately, Hong Hui didn't have the energy to pay attention to these strange things and began to tell her own story.
Hong Hui was born in Hongjia Village, Yaoguang City. Forty years ago, Hongjia Village was the poorest place in the entire Yaoguang City.
Hong Hui is the fourth child in the family, with an older brother and a younger brother. Her father and mother did not love her, and they did not allow her to continue her studies after she graduated from elementary school.
After working at home for two years, when she was fifteen, her father arranged for her to marry off to a farmer in his thirties from the next village. She gave birth to a daughter that year.
Hong Hui's face remained expressionless as she spoke of her experience, but she cracked a smile when she talked about her daughter's birth. "She was so tiny, not even as long as my forearm, so soft, I didn't know how to hold her."
Sun Fei couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"
Hong Hui's lips trembled. "Later... I was young at the time and didn't understand much. I had no idea what those people were discussing behind my back. That morning, I woke up and found she was gone."
"I searched like crazy for several days. The man beat me up before telling me he had given my daughter away."
"I desperately tried to get news about my daughter. If anyone knew anything, I would pester them. If they didn't tell me, I would poop and pee in front of their door... They all said I was crazy."
Hong Hui has been a store manager for nearly ten years, and she's long since mastered the art of dressing for the brand's image. Now, sitting here in all her splendor, she speaks openly about those matters.
Maybe those people were right, she had been driven crazy a long time ago.
"Later, I finally found out where my daughter was sent. I walked for a whole day and night to get there. When I arrived, I found that she had passed away due to the high fever..."
"The family felt sorry for me and brought me here on a motorcycle to show me the child's burial site. Children who died young cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb, so they said they had built a grave for the child here."
"I crawled over crying, but all I saw was a small mound of earth. I could hug it with just one hand. It was the dead of winter, how cold she must be..."
Her voice suddenly choked and all around her became quiet.
Everyone felt a tightness in their chest, especially Sun Fei. If ghosts couldn't cry, she would have burst into tears.
After a while, Hong Hui continued, "Later, I fell ill. After I recovered, I stole her ID card and ran away. I don't want my daughter to be buried here. I want to build her a real grave. No, I want to buy her a plot of land, even a small one."
"I boarded a train to Kyoto. Big cities are not the place where you can starve. I begged for a few days at first, then worked as a bricklayer and plasterer at a construction site. Then I sold socks and worked as a babysitter... After more than a decade, I finally became a store manager. But..."
Her face showed a half-crying, half-laughing expression. "I used all my savings to buy a cemetery, only to find out that I also need a death certificate, cremation certificate, and household registration booklet... I don't have any of these. I can't even prove that I had a child. She's sleeping in the cold ground..."
She murmured, "What can I do? Should I dig her out and hide her under the bed?" She even thought about this idea.
Her colleagues used to call her a superwoman, working without sleep or food to make money. But after realizing she couldn't move her daughter's grave, her determination to hold on suddenly faded.
Everyone around her said that she suddenly looked much older, and she also turned down a good promotion opportunity from the head office.
In such a big city, she has no family and no friends, and her only thought is the child who died before he was one year old.
None of that is now gone.
Hong Hui suddenly felt very tired. So be it. Perhaps she should go downstairs and spend time with her child. She was an incompetent mother and shouldn't have lived so many years...
"Exorcise evil and bind demons, protect your life and body. Clear your wisdom, and keep your mind at peace. Hurry and obey the command!"
The clear voice with a spell pierced her heart. Hong Hui came to her senses and immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
Why did she think that just now? Her daughter was suffering somewhere, and if she died, who would be able to protect her daughter?
When she turned her head, she met a pair of slightly curved eyes. Although they were much younger than her, the look in their eyes was full of tolerance and clarity.
Is this the master?
Hong Hui's eyes were sore, "Master Gu..."
Gu Wang put two fingers together and drew a talisman on her left arm, "Three souls forever, the spirit will never be lost!"
Hong Hui only felt a coolness pouring into her head, the darkness in her heart disappeared, and her limbs became warm.
Gu Wang: "Keep your mind focused and don't let the inner evil disturb you."
Hong Hui nodded, her rationality finally returning. She wanted to kneel down in front of Gu Wang and said, "Master Gu, please help me find my daughter. I will give you all my money and anything you want!"
Gu Wang quickly helped her up, "I know you're anxious, let's talk slowly. Bone Child is not a ground-bound spirit, she can go anywhere as long as she wants. If we want to find her, we need your help. You and your daughter are connected by blood, and we need a little of your blood."
Hong Hui: "Is it my heart's blood?" She didn't care about the difference between men and women, and immediately grabbed the clothes, as if she was going to stab him in the chest.
Gu Wang quickly signaled Zhu Nu to stop her, and finally persuaded Hong Hui to go and rest, as he still had some things to prepare.
The next morning, Hong Hui, not knowing whether she had slept or not, went downstairs with swollen eyes and saw a magic circle more than one meter wide drawn downstairs.
Gu Wang stood in the center of the magic circle and said, "Drop a drop of blood from your fingertip here and silently recite the child's name in your heart."
After saying that, he handed over a knife.
Hong Hui didn't hesitate and cut her finger fiercely. The wound went straight across the fingertip and blood flowed out. She silently said in her heart: "Xiaobao, where are you? Mom misses you..."
The blood fell and stopped one centimeter away from the ground, then stretched out to form an arrow.
The arrow spun around a few times, then stopped in a certain direction and remained there for half a minute before disappearing.
Both of them looked in that direction, neither in the direction of Hongjia Village nor in the direction of their adoptive parents.
Gu Wang explained: "The child was too young when he died, and he probably doesn't have much memory left of his life." He also wanted to give Hong Hui a shot of prevention.
Hong Hui was very calm. "I understand, Master Gu. I just hope Xiaobao is well. It doesn't matter if she doesn't remember me. It doesn't matter if she turns into a monster or a ghost. If she wants to eat incense, I will burn it for her. If she wants to eat human flesh, I will cut off my flesh and feed it to her. I just want her to be well."
Sun Fei, who was listening in, couldn't help but say weakly: "We, they are ghosts that don't eat people."
Hong Hui smiled tolerantly and said, "I understand."
She was too emotional last night to think much about it, but if she couldn't see anything today, her twenty-plus years of struggling in society would have been in vain.
Sun Fei was still young after all, so she moved closer to her and continued to ask, "Sister Hong, that man is your daughter's biological father. Where is he now?"
She was angry all night last night, so she decided to find out the man's address and go over to scare him.
Hong Hui's eyes turned cold, "He's dead. He found out I was in the capital and went looking for me, but was hit by a car and died." As for the role she played in this incident, there is no need to explain.
Sun Fei's expression changed several times before she cursed fiercely, "Serves you right!"
Gu Wang coughed twice and said, "Okay, it's time to go. Candle Girl, you guys stay at home and wait for me to come back before opening the door."
At the same time, he thought to himself that he still had to hire a few more people, at least a ticket seller, otherwise he would have to close the door when he left.
Zhu Nu and the others naturally agreed and watched them leave in the car.
Not long after Gu Wang left, a beautiful woman with flaming red lips and a bright red dress appeared in front of the white mist of the amusement park and laughed, "Such an illusion, what a grand gesture! You are indeed the one who dares to steal the charm pearl of my fox clan."
His eyes rolled slightly and his figure disappeared.
Gu Wang and Hong Hui kept walking in the direction of the arrow until an hour later, when Gu Wang shouted "stop".
The two got off the car and found themselves in front of an orphanage.
Gu Wang looked up and could see wisps of dark energy emerging from the air. It seemed that he had found the right place.
The author has something to say:
Gu Wang: No one cares that I still live in a small cement bungalow. It doesn't matter. I don't mind. Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution between 2022-05-12 14:32:29 and 2022-05-13 14:58:15.
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
