Chapter 37
The old woman had indeed seen that ghostly face more than once.
After seeing the ghost face for the first time, she saw it again in the middle of the night for a whole week, for one day, two days, three days...
It was right above her bed, staring at her.
“…It must have attached itself to me!” the old woman said, her expression somewhat dazed.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night every night to find a ghostly face staring straight at you... The fact that this old lady can remain calm shows she has a very strong mental fortitude.
The viewers in the live stream felt a chill run down their spines just listening to the old woman's account:
[...I'm getting goosebumps! This auntie's eloquence is such a waste that she's not a storyteller! It's so relatable! I need to hug my roommate.]
We find it terrifying just hearing about it, and the old lady witnessed it with her own eyes; how frightened must she have been?
[That old lady is really something! If I saw that thing, I'd be lucky not to be scared to death on the spot, let alone take a picture. I'm terrified of these kinds of things; I don't even dare go to dark places at night for fear of encountering something evil.]
[Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony...]
I've put a wooden fish here so everyone can strike it and drive away the evil spirits!
...
Because of this incident, the old lady's daily life was affected. She couldn't eat well, and as for sleeping, she couldn't sleep well at all. After all, every night she had a ghostly face looking at her from above. Who could sleep well like that?
As expected, under these circumstances, the old lady became somewhat absent-minded every day.
The only consolation was that although the ghost face stared at the old woman every night, it didn't do anything else; it just silently stared at her every day.
The old woman was both anxious and scared. Finally, one night, she got angry and took a picture of the ghost face with her phone. That's how the photo Xu Gui and the others saw came about.
"Then, I ran away from home to find my daughter," the old woman told Xu Gui and the others. "Thankfully, once I left my hometown, that ghostly face finally stopped following me. I thought I had completely gotten rid of it, but!!"
The old woman's relaxed tone suddenly changed, and she suddenly became distraught: "But just two days ago, I actually saw that ghost face again in the flower bed downstairs in my daughter's neighborhood!"
The old woman was truly devastated. She had been in the city for over half a month, and nothing had happened. She thought she had completely gotten rid of that thing, but reality suddenly gave her a huge shock, leaving her dizzy and gritting her teeth.
The old lady had come to the city before, but she was afraid that her daughter would worry, so she never told her why she had come suddenly. She only said that she missed her daughter. But this time, because she suddenly saw the ghost face again, she was emotionally overwhelmed, and her daughter noticed it.
Under persistent questioning, the old woman had no choice but to tell the truth.
The old woman's daughter sighed, "At first, I thought my mom was joking with me. Putting aside what era we live in, who would still believe in these things? Besides, my mom used to be the least believer in these things... But my mom's emotions were definitely not right. I've never seen her so distraught before. And she had photos in her hand, so I thought, could it really be a ghost?"
She added, "We were originally thinking of taking my mom to a temple to burn incense, but after watching your live stream, I thought I'd bring her here to see... So, Master, is my mom really being haunted?"
"This is definitely a ghost encounter!" the old woman exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. "Don't I know myself whether it's a ghost encounter or not?"
The old woman's daughter looked at her helplessly and said, "Listen to what the master has to say first..."
The old woman snorted coldly, looking at Xu Gui with distrust in her eyes, and said, "This girl is so young, can she handle that ghost? I think that ghost is very fierce, and an ordinary person probably can't handle it!"
"Let me tell you, your line of work isn't just about looks. It involves dealing with ghosts, and you could lose your life in the blink of an eye... I think you're so pretty, you'd be better off as a celebrity than a fortune teller."
The old woman suddenly became enthusiastic and started acting as a job broker, saying, "I heard that being a star can make a lot of money these days. You can easily earn a lot of money just by filming a TV series, it's so easy... Look at you, you're so beautiful, it's such a waste not to be a star! Being a fortune teller here has no future!"
The cameraman: "..."
The old lady's daughter: "..."
In some ways, the old lady was quite capable, accurately discerning Xu Gui's true profession at a glance.
Xu Gui didn't speak, but looked at the photo a few more times, and then asked the old woman, "Auntie, every time you see the ghost face, do you hear any strange noises?"
The old woman was taken aback, and then thought about it carefully: "Strange sounds... does hearing a cat meow count?"
Xu Gui: "So, every time the ghost face appeared, you heard a cat meowing, right?"
The old woman thought about it carefully and nodded, saying, "It seems like that's true... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me the creeps, that's why I say cats are really eerie... There used to be a saying in our area that wherever there are cats, there might be ghosts!"
This perfectly matches her current situation.
The old woman's voice was mysterious, making everyone else nervous, as for Xu Gui...
Xu Gui:
Xu Gui hesitated, unsure whether he should say something.
"...Ghost encounters? I've had similar experiences before. It's better to believe it's true than not." A voice interjected; it was Old Man Lu, who had somehow joined the group. Standing to the side, he spoke mysteriously and with a strong desire to share, "This happened when I was young..."
“There’s a guy in our village whose family noticed that he would get up in the middle of the night every day, open the door and go out. They didn’t know where he went, but he would never come back until the morning. Every time he came back, there was a thick layer of mud on his feet. When they asked him, he said that he hadn’t gone out in the middle of the night.”
"Finally, one day, his family decided to follow him out to see what he did every night when he went out... Then, they followed him to a cemetery, which was densely packed with graves and looked quite eerie. But the man was very at ease. He went straight to a grave, hugged the tombstone in front of the grave, and fell asleep. He didn't get up from the grave until the next morning and went home."
“His family asked him again, and he still said that he hadn’t gone anywhere and had just slept at home until dawn… Later, it was the elders in their village who saw the problem and said that the man had been possessed by a ghost and that the ghost had taken his soul.”
"Do you know why? It turns out that the grave he visits every day is a woman's grave, and he's been bewitched by a female ghost!"
After the old man finished speaking, a gasp rippled through the room, creating a tense atmosphere. In this solemn setting, Xu Gui, with his relaxed expression, seemed utterly out of place.
Everyone turned to look at her, and the person filming questioned, "...Teacher Xu, aren't you scared?"
Xu Gui, being stared at by four pairs of eyes, said, "...Scared! Of course I'm scared." If this were true, it would indeed be quite frightening.
The old woman looked at the old man and said with surprise, "Brother, you encountered something like this when you were young?"
“That’s right,” the old man said. “When I was young, I traveled all over the country to make a living, and I inevitably encountered some strange and unusual things, like a bride in a coffin, the sound of knocking on a coffin coming from a grave in the middle of the night, or a child whose soul has been taken by a ghost…”
The old lady exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're really knowledgeable, sir!"
The old man had an arrogant expression, but waved his hand casually: "This is nothing!"
The old woman sighed and said, "It's just that these young people nowadays don't know how serious things are. They've only learned a little bit of skill and think they can exorcise ghosts for others. They have no idea how serious this matter is and aren't afraid of getting themselves into trouble."
"That's right. When it comes to knowing a lot, our generation knows more. My friend's grandson, blah blah blah..."
"Oh dear, we have a relative who's like that too!"
The old man and woman chatted happily, as if they had known each other for a long time. They had so much to talk about, while Xu Gui, who felt like he had been called out several times, was speechless.
The scene had now turned into a two-person show between the old lady and the old man. Watching the two of them getting more and more excited and chatting more and more congenially, Xu Gui chose to quietly take a sip of water.
...Hmm, the stories they told were quite interesting.
"Mom!" Finally, the eldest daughter couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes, saying, "What have you been talking about? Do you still want to resolve your problems?"
The old woman said, "...Of course I want it, but this master you're looking for is not only so young, but he's also asking for such a high price..."
Clearly, she was genuinely suspicious of Xu Gui and still harbored resentment over the five hundred yuan.
“Young lady, don’t let her youth fool you, she’s got real skills!” the old man said without hesitation. “You know Longhu Mountain, right? She’s from Longhu Mountain, one of the elite disciples from there… fortune telling, feng shui, ghost catching, she’s a master at it all, incredibly accurate.”
Ignoring Xu Gui's surprised and bewildered expression, the old man continued, "There's a good saying, you get what you pay for. If she weren't really capable, she wouldn't dare charge such a high price. So, why don't you let her take a look for you..."
It's unclear what the old man said that struck a chord with the old woman, but she finally changed her previous resistance to Xu Gui and became willing to cooperate.
Xu Gui asked the same question again: "So, when you saw the ghost face, you also heard a cat meowing, right?"
The old woman nodded: "That's how it is... But what does this cat's meow have to do with the ghostly face I saw? Does that mean that ghostly face had a pet cat with it? Can a ghost still keep pets?"
The old lady's focus has already gone astray.
Xu Gui: "..."
“Perhaps you can be a little bolder with your guess?” she said. “Maybe the owner of that ghostly face is actually this cat? It’s just that this cat looks a bit strange?”
"What do you mean?" The old woman was a little confused and said in a daze, "You mean, a cat pretended to be a ghost to scare me? What kind of grudge does it have against me that it would pretend to be a ghost to scare me even after it's dead?"
Upon hearing the first sentence, Xu Gui: O(∩_∩)O
Upon hearing the last sentence, Xu Gui: Xue Ke
Xu Gui realized that sometimes she couldn't be too tactful in her speech, so she simply spoke more bluntly.
“What I mean is, the funny face you see is actually a cat crouching there looking at you. Look at this photo, turn up the exposure and the screen brightness, can you vaguely see the outline of a cat?” she said.
The old lady's first reaction was: "Impossible! That's clearly a ghost face! What kind of cat could look like that?"
The old woman's daughter had already leaned closer to look at the phone. After looking at it, she exclaimed in surprise and hesitated, "It really does look like a cat?"
The old lady's first reaction to what Xu Gui said was suspicion, but what her own daughter said... Surely her daughter wouldn't lie to her along with others, would she?
The old lady also came over.
Then one, two... two more heads came over.
"It really does look like a cat's face?" the old man pondered. "It's just that the light is too dark, so I can't see it very clearly and can't be completely sure."
The old woman said, "...That shouldn't be the case. If this ghost face is a cat, how could I still see it after coming all the way to the city? It can't have followed me to the city, can it?"
The old woman was joking, but seeing Xu Gui's serious face, she paused and asked softly, "This cat didn't really come to the city with me, did it?"
Xu Gui: "After you go back, look carefully in the flower bed under the building where your daughter lives, and you might find it."
Xu Gui spoke with such certainty that the old woman was both skeptical and confused. She couldn't help but ask, "Is it following me like this just to scare me? What did I do that makes it hate me so much?"
What grudge could there be?
Xu Gui: "There may be no grudge or resentment. It just wants to find a suitable owner and is a bit shy. You can think back to whether you have ever fed a cat with a rather unusual appearance before."
The old woman said humorously, "...If its way of finding a home is to scare that person to death, then I think it may never find a suitable home."
Because those who are suitable have already been scared to death by it.
The old woman's daughter was clearly a quick thinker. She immediately said, "Master, I understand. I'll take my mother to the flower bed downstairs in my building to look for the cat."
After the old lady and her daughter left, Xu Gui's stall was empty again.
"...Is it really possible for a cat to chase someone that far?" the photographer couldn't help but ask Xu Gui.
Xu Gui said, "I don't know about the other cats, but this cat is really persistent! It's probably because the old lady is one of the few people who are kind to it, so it has decided to stick with her."
The person filming hesitated, then said, "Just how distressing is this cat's appearance?" It had only been fed a little something, yet it was already chasing after people like this.
Xu Gui thought for a moment and said, "Well, it looks similar to the photo on the old lady's phone."
Upon hearing this, the crowd thought: ...That really is ugly.
At this moment, the old man standing to the side suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh dear, I forgot to add that young lady on WeChat! This is the first time I've ever chatted so well with someone."
Xu Gui lifted her eyelids to look at him, and said with a complicated expression, "You'd better take it easy. Don't go and chat with every old lady you see. I'm afraid you'll get beaten up by her husband next time."
The old man beamed: "Of course not!"
The old man was very confident and said, "I never seduce married women. Besides, my relationships with the girls are all consensual. I don't do anything that involves forcing or taking from someone. Who would hit me?"
"Oh?" Xu Gui smiled and looked at him, saying, "Then I'll give you a prediction... If you don't restrain your behavior in the next week, you'll get beaten up."
Old man: "..." Now that you say that, I'm getting a little scared.
*
Xu Gui's fortune-telling stall went very smoothly in the afternoon. Her business has been much better recently, with many of the customers being viewers of her live streams, who came to have all sorts of things told.
If I had to pick someone who left a deep impression, besides the old woman who "saw the ghost," it would be a girl. The girl was very young, probably in junior high school, around eleven or twelve years old, and she only had one hundred yuan on her.
"Sister, I only have one hundred yuan. Can you help me calculate it?" She clutched the money, looking at Xu Gui with embarrassment. She sat on the stool, her body covered by a large school uniform. Her hands and feet were slender, giving her a frail and delicate appearance.
Xu Gui looked at her and asked softly, "What do you want to know?"
The girl mustered her courage and said, "My dog, Dahuang, is lost. I've been looking for it for a long time but I can't find it. I want to ask you, sister, can you help me figure out where it is?"
"Dahuang?" Xu Gui blinked, leaned forward slightly, placed her hands on the table, and asked, "Is it your dog?"
The girl nodded vigorously.
When talking about her dog, her shy and timid demeanor gradually faded, and she became more outgoing and talkative.
She said, "I found Dahuang. When I found it, it was so small and looked so pitiful. I begged my parents for a long time before they agreed to let me keep Dahuang."
"Dahuang is so well-behaved. It will fetch my shoes for me, and it will cry with me when I'm sad... It picks me up and drops me off from school. It's really, really good to me!"
She used two "especially" to describe her dog, her voice heavy, clearly indicating that in her heart, Dahuang was indeed an exceptionally good dog.
"The grandma next door says that Dahuang is very intelligent and a good dog." She chattered on and on, eager to share how wonderful her dog was, but towards the end, her voice suddenly lowered, because she said:
"But after last month, Dahuang disappeared. My mom said he suddenly went crazy and ran away. I can't find him no matter how hard I look!"
She's in middle school now and doesn't have much time, but whenever she gets out of school and has a spare moment, she starts looking for her dog in the neighborhood. She's been searching and hasn't given up, but after a month, she still hasn't found it.
“Mom said that Dahuang might be dead.” The girl bit her lip tightly. “Others also say that if a dog senses that it might die, it will run away from home and die somewhere its owner can’t see it. But I don’t believe it. I don’t believe Dahuang could die. It was so young, only three years old. How could it possibly die?”
She looked at Xu Gui and asked, "Sister, can you help me figure out where Da Huang is now? I think it must be lost and can't find its way home. If I don't find it soon, it will be very scared."
Xu Gui was speechless.
"That's right, I only have one hundred yuan..." She placed a handful of loose change, which was slightly damp from being clutched in her hand, on the table. "This is the pocket money I've saved up over the past two years. It's not enough, but I'll pay back the remaining two hundred yuan slowly."
She blushed as she looked at Xu Gui, seemingly realizing that her words had been a bit too shameless—a child of this age already knew what shame was.
She said hurriedly, "Sister, don't worry, I, I... I will try my best to save money to pay you back! This is my student ID. I am a student in Class 3, Grade 5 of XX Elementary School. If I don't pay you back, you can come to the school to find me..."
Xu Gui didn't speak, but gently picked up the slightly damp stack of money on the table and put it back in the girl's hand. Seeing the girl's somewhat bewildered expression, she said:
"You're lucky. I'm currently running a 'buy ten, get one free' promotion, and you happen to be one of the ten customers I'm serving today. So, I can give you a free calculation for your order."
The girl was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Sister, you don't need to feel sorry for me. I have money. I get lucky money every year, but I've spent it all this year..."
Xu Gui: "I'm not pitying you. Otherwise, you could ask the older brother here or the grandfather over there if I have any such promotions. You're too late. A few days ago, my promotions were even more generous. I not only gave people free services, but I gave them two free services. After I calculated their bills this time, if they come back next time, I'll have to give them another free calculation."
The girl was surprised, then worried for Xu Gui, and said, "Then aren't you at a loss, sister?"
Xu Gui smiled and said, "Remember, no matter who loses, the merchant won't lose out... You're just lucky. If you had arrived here earlier or later, you wouldn't have gotten this free meal."
She said, seemingly seriously but also casually, "I used to hear people say that children have the best luck, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that it really is true... It seems that you are a very lucky child."
As she spoke, the girl's expression brightened, finally turning into a smug look as she cupped her face and exclaimed, "Am I really that lucky?"
Seeing the changes in her facial expressions, the chat in Xu Gui's live stream was filled with a dense barrage of comments:
[That's right! I can vouch for it, what she said is true, you really are an incredibly lucky alt account!]
[Everyone in our live stream saw it; Xu Gui did indeed hold a "buy ten, get one free" event. My goodness, how could there be such a lucky kid?]
[Aww, kids are so cute! But Xu Gui looks adorable too, and his personality is adorable too. They're both such cuties!]
[Xu Gui probably knew this kid was broke, so he deliberately lied to her. I used to be indifferent to her, but now I suddenly think she's actually a pretty good person. I hope she doesn't change in the future and doesn't get corrupted by the entertainment industry.]
[Our Xiao Gui is such a nice person, so cute... High school student, please don't throw away the gifts! Save them for after this elimination round is over!]
*
Xu Gui looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl said happily, "Then, sister, please help me find out where my dog, Dahuang, is right now. What if he gets bullied while he's all alone outside? He's so silly, what if he becomes a stray dog and can't get any food? Will he starve and get thin?"
She seemed genuinely worried about the dog named Dahuang.
Xu Gui didn't disappoint her and immediately said, "Then let me calculate it for you..."
The girl looked at her expectantly, and then she saw Xu Gui's eyelashes tremble slightly.
...My sister's eyelashes are so long, like butterflies fluttering their wings.
The girl couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy at the thought of finding out where her beloved dog, Dahuang, was.
Xu Gui suddenly looked up at her.
The girl asked, "Well, sister, have you figured out where my dog, Dahuang, is?"
Xu Gui: "..."
"I've figured it out." She nodded.
The girl asked urgently, "Where is it?"
Xu Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Your dog, Dahuang, accidentally ran away that day and became a stray dog. Then a rich man took a liking to it and brought it back... Now it's living the high life at that rich man's house, having forgotten all about home. Are you sure you want to bring it back?"
girl:"……"
Xu Gui said coldly, "You know, Da Huang didn't have a very comfortable life at your home. Your parents didn't like it... But it's doing very well with its new owner. Its new owner feeds it the best dog food and even makes special dog meals for it. It lives in a large apartment building. Now it's a pampered young master dog."
"So, you want to bring it back and continue to suffer in your family?"
Xu Gui said in a calm tone, "I think if you really like this dog and it's really for its own good, then let it stay with its current new owner. At least it's doing well."
Xu Gui's words greatly exceeded the girl's expectations. She originally thought that Da Huang would have a hard time after getting lost, but now this older sister said that Da Huang is living a very happy life.
The girl was a little stunned.
Xu Gui's live stream chat exploded because of his words:
[What's going on? How could Xu Gui say such things to a young girl? Isn't that hurtful?]
[This is slander! Dogs don't despise their owners for being poor. They aren't the kind of animals that look down on the poor and love the rich. They've chosen their master, and as long as their master doesn't abandon them, they won't look down on their master for being poor!]
[Xu Gui's words were too harsh. I just thought she was a good person, but now she seems so cold-hearted.]
[The puppy wouldn't dislike its owner, Xu Gui, don't talk nonsense!]
I don't think Xu Gui is the kind of person who speaks so coldly. She just told the kind lie of "buy ten get one free" because the girl didn't have money. I don't believe she's the kind of person who would say something so cold. I think there must be a reason why she said that.
Actually... I have a bad feeling. Don't you guys think Xu Gui is deliberately making the girl think the dog is doing well, so she doesn't want to go and get the dog back?
[A bad feeling +1]
...
The girl looked dejected, as if she had suffered a great blow.
Xu Gui sighed and softened his tone, saying, "If you want to find it, I can tell you where it is..."
“…No, no need.” The girl said this in a muffled voice, “Sister, you’re right. Dahuang is not having a good time in my house. If I want what’s best for it, I should let it stay with its new owner.”
That's what she said, but the woman looked incredibly disappointed and dejected, with tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry. Clearly, these words didn't come from her heart at all.
Clearly, she was very reluctant to part with her beloved dog, but she said those words for the dog's own good.
"Thank you for helping me find Dahuang, sister." The girl stood up and thanked her obediently. "Then I'll go home now... My parents will worry if they don't see that I'm going home."
Xu Gui hummed in agreement and watched her leave, then saw her raise her hand to wipe her eyes, as if she were crying.
This scene is enough to bring tears to the eyes and soreness to the hearts of countless people.
"Why did you have to say that to her?" the old man couldn't help but ask. "Why not just say a few words to her and let it go?" The old man also believed that Xu Gui was not the kind of person who would say such things for no reason.
Hearing his words, Xu Gui sighed and said, "What else do you want me to say? If I don't say something harsh, she won't give up. She'll just keep thinking about finding the dog... I can only tell her that the dog is doing very well, much better than she imagined, and only then will she continue to give up looking for the dog."
Because she genuinely loved him, she knew he was enjoying a life of luxury she couldn't even imagine, which is why the child gave up on finding the dog. Otherwise, no matter what Xu Gui said, she wouldn't have given up.
The old man couldn't help but ask, "Her dog, could it be... dead?"
Xu Gui nodded silently.
The old man sighed and said, "What a tragedy."
For a little girl who truly loves dogs, telling her that her dog is dead is indeed too cruel. No wonder Xu Gui said such cold words to make her give up.
"Was that dog beaten to death?" the cameraman asked in a low voice.
Xu Gui: "...No."
The person filming asked, "How did it die? Was it made into dog meat hot pot?" He made the most terrifying guess.
Xu Gui nodded, then shook his head, and finally told the truth.
“That dog was killed by her parents when she wasn’t home,” Xu Gui said with a hint of remorse. “And they even made dog meat hot pot for her to eat.”
Follow-up filming: ! !
Others: ? ? !!
“…No wonder you didn’t want to tell her the truth,” the cameraman murmured.
This is truly cruel. If this were told to the child, it would likely leave a psychological scar for the rest of his life.
However, the viewers in the live stream fell silent upon hearing Xu Gui's words. Those with similar experiences couldn't help but comment:
When I was little, I raised a chicken. I really raised it from a chick to an adult. That chicken was very well-behaved and followed me everywhere. I loved it so much. But one day when I came home from school, I found that it was gone, just like the situation this little girl encountered. However, the difference was that my mom and the others killed it and made it into spicy chicken. After I ate it, they told me about it.
They even asked me, "Is this chicken good? You raised this chicken yourself!" You can't imagine how I felt at that moment. I threw up right then and there, and even now, I don't want to eat chicken. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. I've developed a phobia of it.
I've had similar experiences. In the eyes of adults, it seems like a funny thing for children to do. They not only don't appreciate their feelings for their pets, but they also make fun of the children for it, completely unaware of the psychological trauma they cause to the children.
[Psychological trauma +1. Xu Gui did the right thing by not telling the child. Otherwise, if she knew the truth, I suspect she would suffer the same lifelong psychological trauma as the previous woman.]
I used to think Xu Gui was heartless, but now I realize that for the girl, this was truly the cruelest yet tenderest lie.
...
Xu Gui had told such a lie, but now she was frowning, feeling her eyelids twitching, as if telling her that things wouldn't go so smoothly.
However, she had done all she could, and there was nothing she could do if anything else happened.
Xu Gui stopped thinking about it and focused her attention back on her filming. Just as she finished calculating for the last old lady and started packing up, she suddenly received a phone call.
"...What? Aunt Tuanzi was in a car accident and is in the hospital now?" She was shocked and quickly asked, "Which hospital? I'm coming right now."
She received a call from the orphanage director, who said, "Don't worry, your Aunt Tuanzi is fine. She has already had a basic check-up, and apart from a few scratches, there are no other problems. So don't worry, just take your time."
The dean was clearly worried that Xu Gui might get into trouble because he rushed over, so he added a sentence.
Xu Gui composed himself and said, "I understand, I'll be right there..."
In a way, receiving the call from the dean calmed Xu Gui down—she had already anticipated that if she told Aunt Tuanzi about the whereabouts of her child, Aunt Tuanzi would encounter a life-threatening accident, which was why Xu Gui hesitated to tell her the truth.
Fortunately, she had shared some of her luck with Aunt Tuanzi, so although Aunt Tuanzi had an accident, she shouldn't have suffered any major problems.
Realizing this, Xu Gui wasn't too panicked. After hanging up the phone, she asked the paparazzi to help tidy up the things on the stall, then quickly hailed a taxi and went to the hospital.
Aunt Tuanzi was at the Central Hospital, more than half an hour away from where she set up her stall. Following the information given by the hospital director, Xu Gui quickly arrived at Aunt Tuanzi's hospital room.
Aunt Tuanzi was staying in a three-person room. When Xu returned, there were already several people in the ward, including Aunt Tuanzi's son Wu Xueya and other people from the orphanage, including the director.
Xu Gui walked over and found that Aunt Tuanzi was doing well. She was conscious and had no missing limbs. She was smiling and talking with everyone at the orphanage.
Beside her, Wu Xueya sat there listlessly, holding her hand.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Gui arrive. Xu Gui immediately asked, "Aunt Tuanzi, are you alright? How did you suddenly get into a car accident? Was it an accident?"
She bombarded her with several questions, and Aunt Tuanzi could only answer them slowly.
After she finished speaking, Xu Gui finally understood why she had been in a car accident. It wasn't an accident, but a man-made one.
