Chapter 250: Blood is Thicker than Water
"Not today. I'm here to see if there's a soldier among the ghosts who've come down in the last month. He's from Peking and his name is Zhao Jianguo."
Qing Yanrou certainly saw that King Qin Guang's face was as black as charcoal, but this man not only did not let go, but held it even tighter, so she let him do it.
"Is he a martyr who died on the battlefield of Country C?"
Judge Cui is specifically tasked with extending the lifespan of those who do good and sending the evil ones to the netherworld, so he is particularly familiar with this aspect.
"Yes, it should be the underworld that arrived within this month."
"Yes, more than 20 days ago, the souls of 29 martyrs descended from heaven. They were supposed to be given priority for reincarnation, but one of them refused. It seems to be Zhao Jianguo, the one you're looking for."
After hearing this, Qing Yanrou's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is it? I want to confirm it."
"good."
Qing Yanrou followed directly behind Judge Cui, while Chu Tingbai followed beside her holding her hand. When they passed by King Qin Guang, he did not even frown when he received his knife-like eyes, but just held her hand tighter.
Qing Yanrou felt the force coming from her hand and couldn't help but turn around and look at him. He still had an expressionless look on his face, so she ignored him.
"This is an area reserved for ghosts who made great contributions during their lifetime."
In front of her was a place with small houses that looked like a residential area in the Yang world. After hearing what Judge Cui said, she finally understood why the female ghost from the Republic of China and Zhao Jianguo were both in the underworld but did not know of each other's existence.
"Where is Zhao Jianguo?"
Judge Cui's majestic voice echoed in the air for a long time.
After a while, a tall and strong soul in military uniform flew out from a house.
"Zhao Jianguo greets the judge."
He first bowed politely to Judge Cui, and then stood quietly aside.
"I'm not here to persuade you to reincarnate. She has something to ask you."
Zhao Jianguo looked at Qing Yanrou in confusion when he heard this. She was obviously a living person. It was fine for a living person to come to the underworld, but why was she looking for him?
"Did you ever have a sister?"
Qing Yanrou was stuck here for a moment. Then she remembered that she had not asked the name of the female ghost from the Republic of China. It was a mistake.
"How do you know?"
Zhao Jianguo's face, originally full of curiosity, was now filled with shock. His eldest sister had passed away for seventy or eighty years. How could anyone still know her?
"Just come with me and you'll know."
In fact, the eyebrows and eyes of the two siblings are somewhat similar. Just by looking at their faces, she can probably be sure that this is the younger brother of the Republican ghost.
Zhao Jianguo looked at her with half surprise and half uncertainty, but seeing that Judge Cui beside him did not say anything to stop him, he followed her out.
But when he saw that it was heading towards the Forgotten River, he couldn't help but be horrified and shouted, "Judge, I will not reincarnate. You are the judge of the underworld. How could you collude with the living to trick me into reincarnating?"
After saying this, his soul quickly floated towards the territory allocated to him.
Qing Yanrou: “…”
Judge Cui: “…”
The other ghosts passing by thought: What? They're actually tricking ghosts into reincarnating? Are they resorting to trickery just to get those of us stuck in the underworld for so long to reincarnate?
Oh my god, run away quickly, they don’t want to reincarnate yet.
In an instant, only Qing Yanrou and the other three were left there, as well as Zhao Jianguo who was captured by Judge Cui.
"We in the underworld are supposedly very kind to good ghosts and respect your rights as ghosts. How could we trick you into reincarnating? Isn't it your sister who is waiting for you by the Forgotten River, so I brought you to meet your relatives?"
In order to restore the reputation of the underworld, Judge Cui had to use his ghost power to send these words to the ears of the ghosts who had just escaped. If this were to get out and they deceived people into reincarnating, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came back and mistakenly believed it to be true, he would be in big trouble.
"Really?"
Zhao Jianguo asked him uncertainly when he heard this, saying that before he went to the battlefield of Country C, he had escaped death several times and he thought it was his sister who protected him.
Later, when he was fighting with the Japanese with bayonets, the knife was about to pierce his chest, but suddenly he saw his sister standing behind the Japanese, and a pair of pale hands suddenly grabbed the Japanese's neck.
He was saved, but his sister disappeared. He was not sure whether he was hallucinating or his sister really existed.
Until one day, he and his comrades sneaked into the enemy camp and prepared to launch a surprise attack, but there was a minefield outside their camp.
The mine had already been cleared by his comrades, but one was accidentally missed and he almost stepped on it. Suddenly, he felt a cold touch on his foot, and his sister's voice was right next to his ear, telling him to change direction.
Later he told his comrades who were clearing mines that when they checked again, they found there was indeed another hidden mine there.
That bomb not only saved his life, but also made their sneak attack successful.
From then on, he firmly believed that his sister was always by his side, accompanying him in another way.
But after going to Country C, this feeling disappeared.
At first he thought something had happened to his sister, but after he himself became a wandering ghost, he realized that there was a natural barrier between countries, which was to prevent ghosts from the two countries from running into each other's territory to cause trouble.
He waited and waited, until finally his remains were taken home by his motherland, and he could come back with them.
But he didn't know where to find his sister, and he didn't know whether his sister had been reincarnated.
But he didn't want to reincarnate. He wanted to wait for his elder sister. Even if his elder sister reincarnated, he would wait for her reincarnation.
He originally thought that he would have to stay in this underworld for a long time before he could get any news about his sister, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon, so fast that he couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie?"
Judge Cui's face turned serious and he looked at him gravely.
"Where is my sister? Let's go quickly."
At this moment, they didn't need to keep an eye on him to prevent him from running away again. Instead, it was Zhao Jianguo who came to urge them.
"Let's go."
Qing Yanrou glanced at the extremely excited Zhao Jianguo, turned around and continued walking towards the direction of the Republic of China ghost.
The Republic of China ghost had her mark on his body, so it was very easy for her to find her.
"Sister!"
From a distance, Zhao Jianguo saw Zhao Yali sitting by the Wangchuan River, staring at the Yellow Springs Road.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yali was in a trance for a moment, then turned around in disbelief and saw the big boy in military uniform.
