Chapter 101 Family Love: No one in this world can survive without the other...
Since it was already late at night, the living room lights were kept off to recreate the scene of Jiujiu playing ball with the "human" late at night. Under the night vision camera, everything appears black and white to the human eye. The 100,000+ viewers in the livestream, including Yang Guisi and Chang Xile, had actually "seen" the photo of Huang Qiuyue's mother, but dismissed it as just an ordinary photo.
It was Anping who told Chang Xile that it was a black and white photo.
"Ordinary ghosts need to knock on the door and get permission to enter the owner's house. Your mother is the original owner of the house, so she can skip this step. But your room belongs to you, so she still needs your permission to come in." Yang Guisi explained to her after figuring it out.
"How is that possible..." Huang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, looking towards the door. The knocking sound that had seemed like a life-threatening urgency just now now made her feel complicated. She subconsciously asked, "Didn't Mom...reincarnate?"
Huang Qiuyue recalled something, and everything seemed to make more and more sense to her. "I was the one who insisted on raising Jiujiu, but it was always Mom who took care of her. Jiujiu loves playing ball, so Mom was worried about her and kept coming back to be with her, right?"
She choked up a little: "But why didn't she come to see me? After the accident, I haven't dreamed of her even once..."
Just at this moment, Jiujiu suddenly started calling outside the door. Its voice was very soft, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to be crying.
Chang Xile understood, but she did not translate it to Huang Qiuyue immediately.
"Should I open the door?" Huang Qiuyue asked, "But even if I open the door, I can't see my mother, right? I didn't see her all those nights when I stopped Jiujiu from playing with the ball..."
If Sheung Hee-lok were present at the scene, she could have attempted to communicate directly with the ghost. However, there was a screen between them, and the information Sheung Hee-lok could see and hear was very limited.
It would be irresponsible to let Huang Qiuyue open the door directly at this moment, even though the ghost outside the door could very well be her biological mother. However, without knowing whether her mother was sane at the moment, no one could guarantee that it would not harm Huang Qiuyue.
Chang Xile was a little conflicted, wondering whether he should just stop the live broadcast and go to Huang Qiuyue's house.
As the Living Impermanence, it is also her duty to deal with the souls that linger in the human world and are unwilling to leave.
They didn't notice the few off-topic comments mixed in with the other discussions:
[Why is that little box in the host's living room glowing?]
[Is that a shrine or something? As for the light, it's probably an LED tube or something.]
[Is the line unstable? Why is it flickering? Can the host find someone to fix it when he has time?]
Yang Guisi was originally troubled by the same problem as Chang Xile. After she saw this barrage, she subconsciously looked back and thought: Where did this LED light come from... ?
The next second, she felt the temperature around her suddenly drop, and then she fell into a cold embrace. A sigh sounded in her ears, and a soft call came: "Sister..."
Anping was furious. He stood up and stared at Yang Guisi warily, while Chang Xile held him back in her arms and stroked the back of his neck. Chang Xile was much calmer about the situation, even though she and Anping saw the same thing: Yang Guisi's face was pale, and her body was embraced by a ghost, a typical image of a person possessed by a ghost.
But Chang Xile looked at the girl. She was only as tall as Yang Guisi's belly, had short hair that reached her ears, and had two dimples on her face when she smiled.
This seems to be Yang Junyi?
But hadn't Tang You already taken Yang Junyi's soul away? How could it appear here again?
Before Chang Xile could think it over, Yang Guisi seemed to have made up her mind after a brief moment of distraction. She stared at the screen and said to Huang Qiuyue, "If you're willing to trust me, you can tell me your address and I'll contact your mother on your behalf."
At this point, Huang Qiuyue no longer had the heart to say "I don't believe it." She sent a message to Chang Xile and asked, "Are you guys going to come over in person?"
Yang Guisi shook her head. After looking at the address, she took out a yellow talisman from the desk, raised her hand and dipped it in cinnabar to write a few strokes where the camera couldn't see, and then whispered a few words.
[Oh my god, she started it!]
[Is the familiar Oniji back again? Ahhh, this is the reward for my late sleep.]
[What do you mean? Hasn't the anchor been here all along? What code are you guys saying? I don't understand.]
[Is this new guy upstairs? We, Onisi, don't just approach science; we have real skills (starry eyes)]
After studying the book of talismans given to her by her aunt, Chang Xile was able to understand a little bit of these things - Yang Guisi was chanting the spell to shrink the earth into an inch at this moment.
This was a spell that consumed a lot of mana, but she performed it with ease. After a moment, Chang Xile realized that Yang Guisi wanted to send Yang Junyi's soul to Huang Qiuyue's home. This was much simpler than transferring a physical body.
After a while, Yang Guisi opened his eyes and asked Huang Qiuyue, "Have you always been the only one living with your mother?"
Huang Qiuyue nodded, then shook her head: "And Jiujiu."
It seems that Huang Qiuyue's father did not live with them for some reason.
Then Yang Guisi asked Huang Qiuyue a second question: "This ball is actually a gift from your mother, right?"
Huang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, her eyes blank as she lost herself in memories: "...Yes."
At the beginning, it was Huang Qiuyue who insisted on raising Jiujiu.
Mom doesn't really like animals. Honestly, raising one daughter is hard enough, and I just don't have the energy for anything else.
But little Huang Qiuyue was at the age when she loved furry things. On her way home from school, she picked up a kitten shivering in a cardboard box. There was only a note next to it that said "Please adopt this kitten if you are kind enough."
It was Laba Festival, and it was getting dark, so Huang Qiuyue couldn't let go of the kitten. She brought it home in its box and waited for her mother to criticize her with her eyes closed.
Unexpectedly, after listening to her story, her mother just sighed.
Jiujiu became a member of their family.
At the beginning, Huang Qiuyue promised that she would raise the cat herself, treat Jiujiu as her own daughter, and let her mother be her grandmother.
As her studies became increasingly demanding, her mother gave her a resentful look and, without saying anything, took over the responsibility of caring for Jiujiu, raising her like a second daughter. Jiujiu was thus promoted from Huang Qiuyue's daughter to her sister.
The ball was originally a gift from her mother to Huang Qiuyue when she was five years old. Jiujiu loved it very much and always pestered Huang Qiuyue to play with it. If Huang Qiuyue was not available, her mother would kindly pick up the ball and play with Jiujiu for a while.
Huang Qiuyue's tone became filled with complaints as she spoke: "She was so obsessed with Jiujiu that she forgot she had a daughter like me."
Yang Guisi shook her head and said to Huang Qiuyue, "Your mother wants me to bring you a few words."
Huang Qiuyue asked: "What?"
Yang Guisi took a deep breath, and then said something that was completely inconsistent with her tone:
"Huang Qiuyue! Jiujiu keeps crying to me, saying you've completely given up on life, refusing to eat or walk the cat. How can I expect you to reincarnate peacefully? Cheer up and take care of yourself. What did I teach you since you were little? No one in this world can't live without the other!"
Huang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears at the familiar tone of voice. She missed him, but also felt sad.
Yang Guisi continued, "This is my last day here. You did the right thing. Don't open the door when a stranger knocks. But Mom hopes you can do better—even if you're sad, you have to go on with your life."
Huang Qiuyue shook her head desperately. She stood up and rushed to the door of the room, but when she opened the door, she still could not see anything.
"Mom..." Huang Qiuyue hadn't uttered the word for days. This word, which had been uttered since the moment her lips touched each other, could no longer be used as a face-to-face address. Only when she was speaking to others, or occasionally as a reminiscence—"My mom, she was so and so"—could Huang Qiuyue repeat it over and over again, as if she had used up all the words in her life.
Yang Guisi opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had left, but in the end she didn't say anything.
It was a long time before Huang Qiuyue stopped crying. She looked at the little Jiujiu standing in front of her, slowly squatted on the ground, and opened her arms to it.
Jiujiu's eyes were full of worry. It meowed and crawled into Huang Qiuyue's arms.
"I'm sorry, Jiujiu, for making you worry. Sister will live a good life in the future, okay?" She stroked Jiujiu's head, her eyes fell on the ball beside her, and there was no longer any fear in her heart.
Yang Guisi and the others waited for Huang Qiuyue to recover. She wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you so much... When my friend first mentioned you, I didn't quite believe it. But really... without you, I might not have been able to hear the words my mother left for me."
Huang Qiuyue's mother died unexpectedly, leaving no last words. She couldn't imagine how long she would have been terrified by this little supernatural event if Gui Si and Lan Tong hadn't told her the truth.
How ridiculous it sounds to be afraid that your mother will come back to visit you with unfulfilled wishes.
Yang Guisi was stunned. She rubbed the talisman beside her with her palm, and the talisman lost its luster. Then her eyes fell to her knees and she said softly, "I should be thanking you."
Let her know that there is a mother who loves her child so much. It also gave her and Junyi the opportunity to meet again.
After saying goodbye, even though it was late at night, the live broadcast room was still very popular. Yang Guisi originally wanted to end the broadcast, but he noticed some special comments in the live broadcast room.
[Ghost, there's a couple next door claiming to be your parents, and they've been saying bad things about you in the livestream.]
[I saw it too. He said he wanted to have a live chat with you...]
I think we should just ignore them... their words are truly disgusting. If they weren't afraid of their livestream being blocked, they'd probably be even more disgusting.
[Are they really her biological parents? How could they say such things to their own daughter...are they really just trying to gain attention?]
[It seems to be true. I've seen that woman before in an offline video, and Oni has acknowledged her identity. But the couple seems to be quite mean to Oni...]
She looked at the comments expressionlessly, and the next second she saw the live broadcast connection request with the ID "There is an Unfilial Daughter in the Family" and smiled sarcastically.
