Only six or seven months pregnant, and already premature? Isn't that too soon? But the doctor wasn't sure. No one knew exactly when the baby would be born.
I was a little excited and hoped that the baby I would give birth to this time would not be a ghost baby!
That night I bought some fruits and went to the hospital to visit Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi was sleeping soundly. I stood aside and watched her for a while, then put down my things and left.
Now, I can't be distracted by anything. The ghost messengers will come to find me soon. I must be prepared before they come to find me!
Oh…that damned Su Xiaoniu hasn't woken up yet. Guess I'll have to figure out a solution myself. But dealing with a ghost messenger is something I've never done before. I've heard that when a ghost messenger comes to the mortal realm to capture someone, it usually happens when that person's life span has ended. The thought of it was terrifying. And now, I guess my life span hasn't even ended yet, and the ghost messenger is here to capture me. How can I not panic?
I was walking down the street, preoccupied, when I bumped into someone. He reeked of alcohol. I frowned, glanced at him, and was immediately overjoyed. It was the golden-haired old man, Xu Jin Wang! After curing Xuan Xuan that day, he had actually stayed in Jiangzhou. I quickly pulled him aside.
"You... brat! I won't date you!" The golden-haired old man started talking nonsense after drinking.
I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't want to date you either! I just have a question for you. What is the ghost messenger most afraid of?"
Gulp! The golden-haired old man took a sip from the beer bottle in his hand and said, "Huh? Ghost messenger? What the hell is that?"
Fuck you, you're playing dumb! I said depressedly, "Ghost messengers are ghost messengers. They're coming to the mortal world to catch me. Tell me how to avoid them! Otherwise, I'll let Ghost Sanniang take care of you!"
Upon hearing the words "Ghost Sanniang", the golden-haired old man instantly came to his senses: "Stinky boy, don't try to fool me! Ghost Sanniang is not here! As for the ghost messengers you mentioned, why did they come to capture you? I counted on my fingers, and you still have a long life ahead of you..."
I spread my hands and said, "Of course I know I still have a long life ahead of me, but I've committed three sins, and that's why the ghost messenger is here to arrest me!"
"Hidden sins? That's easy. Do some good deeds to accumulate virtue. Once you have hidden virtue, you can naturally use it to remove your karma and thus offset your hidden sins." The golden-haired old man said as he walked, "I don't need to tell you about accumulating virtue. Visiting the place where the dead are buried, or helping the deceased fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, or releasing small animals, abstaining from meat, etc., are all ways to accumulate virtue."
As he spoke, he pulled out a half-eaten chicken leg wrapped in oil paper from his pocket, took a sip of wine, and took a bite of the chicken leg...
I stared at him. This guy told me to release animals and not eat meat to accumulate virtue, but he ate chicken legs in front of me!
"It's so sudden, how can I accumulate merit? The ghost messenger will be here soon!" I said anxiously. Accumulating merit is not as simple as cramming at the last minute. It is a long-term process. And since I'm in such a hurry now, this method is obviously not suitable for me.
"Then you have no choice but to fight the ghost messengers. If you can defeat them, you can negotiate terms with them."
"Do you think I can beat the ghost messenger like this?"
The golden-haired old man glanced at me and shook his head: "You'd better let them take you away obediently."
Damn, you don’t give me any confidence at all?
The golden-haired old man suddenly stopped walking forward, his eyes narrowed suddenly: "You come quite quickly... Boy, if you don't want to die, follow me!" Then he turned around and ran towards the distant street.
I was so frightened by his words that my scalp tingled. Could it be that the ghost messenger had come? Without saying a word, I immediately followed the golden-haired old man and ran.
I don't know how long I ran, but I could feel a chilly wind behind me and the sound of footsteps approaching, as if someone was following me. My heart was pounding, and I couldn't even speak. I just kept running after the golden-haired old man.
Soon, we ran to a dilapidated power plant. I remember this place was the abandoned power plant on Xiaoyangguan Road where I first used it. It was there to help Zhao Xi drive away the ghost pupa, and I also had a fight with Huo Yan's tailless black cat.
The abandoned power plant was even more dilapidated than it was back then, with signs of collapse inside. The blond old man and I hid inside. From outside, I could hear a constant humming noise, like someone blowing a horn and beating a drum. It was late at night, and in a place where no one was, and I started to get nervous.
