Chapter 43
The person who came was Feng Er. I was not surprised that he could hear ghosts crying.
But he came straight at me, thinking I had bullied his wife, and attacked me in anger. I hurriedly explained, "Calm down first."
I had no intention of hurting him, so I took two steps back.
He protected his wife behind him, and she lay on Feng Er and cried.
"Wife, don't cry." Feng Er comforted it.
"Alang, she said I can't see our child again." It cried weakly.
"I believe you also know that if your son has long-term contact with your daughter-in-law, it will not be good for both parties!" I said righteously.
Feng Er didn't refute. He looked at me and pulled his wife to go home.
"If you don't repent, won't you kill them both with your own hands?" I hurried forward to stop him.
He punched me and I blocked his fist with my hand. Seeing that he was so stubborn, I stopped dodging and moved his hand behind his back to subdue him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Er's wife quickly ran to the field and jumped into her own grave. Feng Er saw that his wife had escaped and tried to break free from my control. I let him go and watched him run back to his home.
Looking at this ghost couple, I felt a bit of a headache. I tried to persuade them with both emotion and reason, hoping that Feng Er and his ghost wife could understand their current situation sooner.
The next day, I knocked on Feng Er's door again, but he didn't open it.
At this time, Wang Qiang led many people from the village to Feng Er's house, surrounding it in three layers. They shouted at Feng Er to come out quickly, saying that they had invited him to catch ghosts, and if he did not obey their orders, he should get out of Wang Zhangzi.
It seems that these villagers are a little angry. Many people have been frightened by Feng Er's wife these days. Now they have united and are trying to force the emperor to abdicate.
Finally, there was movement in the yard. The gate was forced open. Feng Er, holding a kitchen knife, gestured at the villagers and shouted, "Whoever dares to come up, I will chop them all."
Seeing Feng Er so angry, Wang Qiang and the others retreated one after another, shocked by his aura.
Seeing that the villagers were silent, I stepped forward, confronted Feng Er, and said, "Your wife is already dead and hasn't been reincarnated for a long time. If the ghost catcher comes to capture her, she will endure immeasurable pain in hell. Your son's prolonged contact with her is not good for him either. Can't you think about both of them?"
When Feng Er heard what I said, his eyes became noticeably relaxed.
I dismissed the villagers who gathered around me and promised them that I would handle the matter of Feng Er's wife properly.
I tried to approach Feng Er and snatch the kitchen knife from his hand.
He knelt in front of me, and I quickly held his head before it hit the ground.
"Please save my wife and children."
Just when I was wondering what was going on, I heard a cry from the house. He quickly got up and ran into the house, holding the child out and handing it to me. I took the child, opened the swaddling clothes and saw that the child's face was pale, with a faint blue glow.
He stopped crying immediately when he saw me. I sighed in my heart. This Yin-born child is currently in a state where Yin is dominant and Yang is weak. My special Yin and Yang body can adjust the Yin and Yang in his body to a balanced state and eliminate his pain. That's why he laughs when I touch him.
Feng Er's expression relaxed. He now looked like a father doting on his child, without any trace of the crazy look he had just had.
I placed my palm against the child's forehead, detecting any abnormalities within him. That wisp of green energy was death energy. This shouldn't be happening to a child. Neither he nor Feng Er were nearing the end of their lives.
A thought came to my mind: Could it be that Feng Er’s father, Old Feng, is going to die?
I asked him, "Where is your father?"
When he heard me ask about his father, his expression changed and he just said, "He's lying in the house."
I think Old Feng's time is up. He is already haunted by the aura of death and will probably die in a few days.
I told him, "Try not to let the child get close to your father recently. It's best if they live in two separate rooms."
He nodded.
I returned the child to him and discussed with him about his wife.
He was silent for a long time, then finally agreed to help me with his wife's salvation in three days. Seeing him agree, I breathed a sigh of relief. This is the best outcome for him, his child, his wife, and even the villagers. I'm not forcing a couple apart. Reincarnation is the law of nature, and those who violate it will suffer a miserable end.
With his promise, I left their house. The impression Feng Er gave me was not as bad as the villagers said. Although he had a violent personality, he was still polite to me.
I told Wang Qiang the news, and he was overjoyed. He insisted on throwing me a feast, but I said a simple meal would be fine. I'm not picky about food, and judging by his family's financial situation, they weren't very wealthy either.
Seeing I wasn't pretending, he had his wife prepare four dishes and a soup—all homely, but cooked with care. After dinner, I returned to the car. I'd been planning to sleep in the car for the past few days; it wouldn't be convenient to be alone otherwise.
The atmosphere in the village was much more relaxed for the remaining two days. Everyone probably knew Feng Er had relented. They greeted me when they saw me, and I felt a little embarrassed with so many people surrounding me. The pressure from the old man and woman at the entrance to the village was too great, more than any ghost I'd ever encountered.
On the day of the ritual to liberate Feng Er's wife, all the villagers gathered to watch. This might have been a novelty for them. But I eventually told them to stay away, because this time I wasn't simply liberating her. I was going to summon the ghost messenger and speak a few words in its favor. It was also a person with a tragic fate. It finally had its own child, but it died before giving birth.
At midnight, I set up the incense table on the village's spacious cement ground. I prepared flowers, water, and yellow paper, placed three incense sticks on the table, and bowed to heaven and earth. Then, I chanted a soul-calling spell, drawing forth the ghost of Feng Er's wife. The ghost, emitting a blue light, moved from the fields toward me.
Just then, I saw a figure behind a haystack not far away. I thought for a moment and decided not to chase him away, as this was probably the last time they would see each other.
After Feng Er's wife came to the incense table, I used the feather stone to summon the ghost messenger.
As soon as the ghost came up, he saw Feng Er's wife and took out a whip and lashed at it.
I quickly stopped the whip and said, "Please show mercy."
When the ghost saw that I was the one who caught the whip, he quickly clasped his fists at me and said, "Ghost girl, you don't know, a few days ago when we came to catch it, I don't know what trick it used to deceive us, but it made it impossible for us to report to the King of Hell, and we got a good beating from the whip."
