And that figure was exactly the old lady Kang Xingyi met that night!
Even though he subconsciously knew that the other person was not a human, but a ghost.
When he saw the old lady's smile, Kang Xingyi didn't know why, but he also subconsciously started laughing.
He was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the old lady at the door sigh with laughter.
"Hey young man, I told you not to come here again, so why did you still come to see me?"
"When I sent you away that morning, didn't I tell you not to thank me? You didn't listen. You're such a stubborn young man."
The old lady seemed to be blaming him, but in fact the smile on her face never disappeared.
Hearing this, Kang Xingyi remembered that the old lady seemed to have said something to him when he left that morning.
But he was in a hurry to find his friends at the time and left quickly, so he didn't hear clearly what she said.
I can only guess that the old lady was probably telling him to be careful on the road.
Now, after hearing what the old lady said, he realized that she had come for him not to come that day.
Kang Xingyi didn't hear it at that time.
But he thought about it and decided that even if he heard it, he would probably still come.
Kang Xingyi immediately explained: "Old man, I didn't hear what you said that morning, so I came to bother you again..."
As he spoke, his tone became a little uncertain.
"Did I disturb your peace and quiet? Old man, I have no other intentions, I just wanted to come here to thank you!"
"I saw that you didn't have much in your house, so I thought I'd bring you some things you might need. But... I was so stupid that I never found where you lived."
Kang Xingyi deliberately avoided words like "the house disappeared", as if he was afraid of accidentally letting the old lady realize that she was "dead".
Since the old lady always appears as a "living person", perhaps in her subconscious, she may feel that she is not dead yet.
He shouldn't remind her on purpose.
The old lady laughed happily after hearing this. She saw through Kang Xingyi's intention at a glance and then...
"Young man, don't lie to me. You didn't find the wrong place. It's just that I can't show up during the day."
She is a ghost.
During the day, when the sun was bright and radiant, she would not dare to show herself.
But Kang Xingyi always came during the day, so even though she had seen him wandering around and questioned him several times, he would never show up.
It was not easy for her to hear the conversation between Lin Xi and Kang Xingyi in the grave at noon that day. Knowing that they would come again in the evening, she showed up as soon as it got dark and turned the grave into a house again.
Then wait for Kang Xingyi to come again.
After hearing what the old lady said, Kang Xingyi realized that she had actually seen everything his grandfather did.
I was just trying to be clever and "cover up" the fact that the old lady had passed away. It's quite embarrassing when I think about it.
The old lady continued to speak.
"Young man, I didn't tell you the truth at the time because I didn't want to scare you. I told you not to come back again, and I was also afraid that you would see something wrong if you came back."
In the end, Kang Xingyi came anyway.
But when he came back, he couldn't find her or her house.
Because the house was conjured up by her soul power, it could only last for a few hours and would disappear as the sun rose during the day.
And that night when she cooked for Kang Xingyi, only the bacon was real; the rest of the vegetables and rice were fake.
Kang Xingyi thought he ate something, but in fact, the food he ate might be air.
The only thing left was a piece of bacon that her descendants gave her when they paid tribute to her.
She was afraid that the bacon would be eaten by rats and other insects if placed in front of the grave, so she treasured it and hid it away.
Still thinking that Kang Xingyi was a guest, he had to serve him something delicious, so he gave him the bacon.
In their village, some families would keep a piece of bacon for several years and still eat it, so the old lady didn’t think that the bacon would go bad after being kept for so long.
Finally, she found a way to cook the bacon and gave it to Kang Xingyi, who ate it with relish.
It seems that this bacon is indeed delicious.
Although she couldn't eat it herself, she felt satisfied when she saw others eating it, at least the bacon was not wasted.
When she saw Kang Xingyi coming to see her that day, the old lady realized that Kang Xingyi did not listen to what she said.
However, although she felt emotional at the time, she didn't think much about it.
Because most people would give up after looking for her and her house once and failing to find her.
It turned out that this child was not a simple-minded person.
I searched for many days in a row, and every time I came I would walk around the mountain at least once.
Even so, he didn't give up and even found a master to help him.
Now that she is gone and knows she is a ghost, she must be scared.
Thinking of this, the old lady was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"But don't be afraid. Even though I'm not a ghost, I've never harmed anyone. I just wanted to help you that night."
"You young people, don't be fooled by your youth and think you're strong now. If you really get caught in the rain all night, the cold will enter your body. When you get older, you'll know how serious it is..."
The old lady kept chattering, like a kind elder advising the younger generation.
"Oh, I seem to be nagging again."
The old lady spoke for a while before she realized that she had accidentally started mumbling again.
When she was alive, her children all disliked her nagging and being long-winded.
She also thought about changing it, but it was already a habit she had formed over decades, so how could she possibly change it?
Thinking of her descendants, the smile on the old lady's face faded a little.
The reason why she has not been reincarnated is because she has one unfulfilled wish.
Her daughter remained unmarried when she died.
Although she knows that many young people today are unwilling to get married, she still worries that her daughter will be lonely and helpless without anyone by her side in the future.
If she could see her find her home, even if she didn't get married, and have someone who understood her and was with her, she would feel relieved.
It’s a pity that my daughter has always been alone over the years and I have never seen her bring anyone with her.
This shows that she still hasn't found a partner.
She just wanted to wait for her daughter to find a close friend who could accompany her, and finally bring the friend over for her to meet.
If she takes one look at it, she will be able to go to reincarnation with peace of mind.
I don't know what my daughter's personal situation is like now.
Seeing the old lady's depressed expression, Kang Xingyi immediately said, "Old lady, have you encountered any problems? Is there anything I can help you with?"
He insisted on finding the old lady because he wanted to express his gratitude to her.
Unfortunately, after he knew that the old lady was no longer human, the things he had bought for her were no longer useful.
Seeing that the old lady seemed to be in trouble, he thought that if he could help, he would.
Hearing this, the old lady smiled and shook her head subconsciously.
Kang Xingyi spoke again with a serious expression.
"It's okay, old man. You helped me when I was in trouble, and I want to do my best to help you. You really don't have to worry about bothering me!"
Hearing him say this, the old lady hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask him for help.
"Then young man, please go and find out for me how my daughter is doing now, and by the way, please help me find out if she has found a partner."
Her daughter did not come to visit her grave during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival last year, so the old grandmother did not know her daughter's situation.
Although she has passed away, as parents, no matter what time it is, we always think about our children most in our hearts.
After telling Kang Xingyi her daughter's general situation and address, the old lady also gave him some advice.
"When the time comes, just come to my grave during the day and tell me the result. Don't come at night. It's not safe around here at night."
There are wild animals on the mountain, snakes, insects, rats, fish, etc., as well as a few lonely ghosts who like to scare people. They are all very annoying.
It was because of her that day and because of the master beside Kang Xingyi who was with him this time that he didn't encounter any accidents.
If he comes here alone late at night, who knows what might happen.
Kang Xingyi immediately nodded to show that he understood.
Seeing that things were almost done, the old lady didn't want to keep him anymore.
"Okay, you should go too. Next time you go hiking, be sure to check the weather forecast and don't get separated from your friends. Remember, safety first."
After the old lady finished her last words, she smiled and waved to Kang Xingyi.
In his surprised eyes, the old lady and the house behind her disappeared without a trace in an instant.
With the moonlight above his head, Kang Xingyi saw the familiar wasteland and the small grave mound beside him.
He bowed to the grave mound before leaving with Lin Xi.
Afterwards, Kang Xingyi sent Lin Xi back to the Feng Shui shop and transferred the corresponding fee to her to express his gratitude.
Early the next morning, Kang Xingyi went to the place where the old lady said her daughter lived.
He was lucky. Not long after he walked around the area, he saw a young woman who looked somewhat similar to the old lady.
The woman was currently pregnant with a big belly and was accompanied by a man.
Seeing this, Kang Xingyi immediately stepped forward and called out the woman's name.
The woman stopped and looked at him puzzledly with her husband. She asked, "You, you are...?"
Knowing her name, could she be someone they know?
But neither of them has any secrets.
Just when the two were confused, Kang Xingyi smiled and said something to them.
"Congratulations, I wish you and your baby good health and happiness!"
After saying his blessing, Kang Xingyi left with a smile.
The old lady, her daughter and son-in-law were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Why is that person so weird?"
Her husband comforted her.
"Forget it, he's happy with us, so just treat it as a heartfelt blessing from a stranger."
The woman thought about it and it made sense.
She lowered her head and touched her belly, then said to her husband, "I hope the baby will be born safely and grow up healthy so I can take him to see my mother."
The husband immediately said, "What about me? I haven't seen our mother yet."
"Okay, okay, I still have you. I won't miss you."
Her fate with her current husband came unexpectedly. They met in the second half of last year and got married six months later.
