Chapter 1247 The Returnee's Notes 321
Knowing what Xie Ning wanted to ask, Granny Yu subconsciously lowered her head and remained silent for a while before pointing to her grayish-white eye and saying, "Back then, I suffered a misfortune and lost an eye, so I can no longer see people."
But you can see other things.
This thing was obviously a ghost. She didn't know if it was bad luck or good fortune, but she learned a trick from the old sorceress in the village.
Later, she became less and less human. Ghosts were willing to get close to her, but she dared not get close to them.
They only give a meal to the truly miserable ones.
"...When Teacher Gao came back that day, I saw Xiao Chun who came back with him. The little guy had nowhere to hide, so he hid in the certificate of merit posted on the wall of Teacher Gao's room."
That was Xiaochun's first certificate of merit, which she gave to Teacher Gao.
"I remember I even rewarded the child with a lace hair tie."
Thinking of the little girl's bright smile, as beautiful as a wildflower, Teacher Gao couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. That hair tie was something he had bought for his own child. He was away from home for many years and felt guilty towards his child.
They weren't both responsible parents, so no matter what they did, they were always thinking about her. Even if they didn't have time to go back, they would at least send some things back.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. His daughter has grown up, but Xiaochun will forever remain in that age.
"So, that family is where Xiaochun got married? And those two siblings, Qiu Guang and Qiu Lu, are Xiaochun's children?"
Teacher Gao was starting to feel overwhelmed. How old was Xiaochun, that child?
She was probably not even fourteen when she got married and became pregnant!
He's been here for so many years, he should be used to it, but whenever he encounters something like this, he still feels suffocated and sometimes even falls into self-doubt: can the knowledge he imparts to them really help them?
Among the children who came to school, there were mostly boys, while the girls dropped out of school early. He tried to persuade them no matter how hard he tried, and he was even beaten by their parents several times.
By the dim light, Xie Ning bent down and put the oil-paper umbrella into its pouch.
Grandma Yu said she could send Xiaochun away tonight, but it's not that simple. Xiaochun's obsession hasn't subsided. Even if she leaves temporarily, she will still come back.
Grandma Yu said that Xiaochun's obsession was with this school, but that's not entirely true.
If it really is a school, she would have been able to let go of her obsession when she arrived here. There must be something else involved, and she and Wang Ze need to investigate carefully.
Xie Ning found an open space to help Wang Ze set up the ritual.
At the same time, Wang Ze quietly asked Xie Ning, "You said that ghost named Xiao Chun, isn't her child at school? Is it possible that her obsession is with her child?"
"It shouldn't be."
If the obsession is with the child, wasn't Xiaochun's spirit previously lingering in the Qiu family? It should have been dispelled long ago.
Xie Ning released Xiao Chun and let her stay in the red rope circle while Wang Ze performed his shamanistic ritual.
After a few incantations, Xiao Chun, who had been staring at Xie Ning's oil-paper umbrella, looked dazed for a moment, and then began to sing a folk song. Teacher Gao said in a very low voice, "This is the folk song."
He dreams of Xiaochun singing this song every night.
The folk songs were melodious and beautiful, but singing them late at night was a bit creepy, not to mention their meaning.
Xie Ning and Wang Ze couldn't understand the meaning, but Teacher Gao explained it to them, and they finally learned that the song was actually about calling back the soul.
When someone in a family dies away from home, the family will sing this song to call the soul back.
Xie Ning glanced at Xiao Chun, then at her own oil-paper umbrella, and asked Teacher Gao hesitantly, "What's her surname?"
The handwriting on the certificate was too blurry for her to see clearly; she only heard Teacher Gao and Grandma Yu calling her "Xiaochun, Xiaochun."
Therefore, Xiaochun's full name is still unknown.
"Her surname is Wu, Wu Xiaochun."
Xie Ning tightened her grip on the Soul Umbrella, surprised by the coincidence. She had a vague guess in her mind.
Wang Ze saw Xie Ning hand him a talisman, and although he didn't understand it, he still performed a ritual to burn it to ashes.
Then Xie Ning released Wu Yaozu, who was hiding inside the Soul Umbrella, which immediately startled Teacher Gao and Granny Yu.
"Yao... Yaozu!?"
