Duan Min shrugged. "I led the paper doll team to pick up the bride; we didn't hurt anyone."
Zhuang Yi angrily retorted, "Am I not human?!"
After this incident, I'll wear metal pants to bed at night to protect myself.
That pervert is terrifying.
Zhuang Yi was deeply traumatized. "Master, quickly take him away!"
Lin Xi glanced at the two of them. "No rush, there's still one thing we haven't figured out."
Zhuang Yi stammered, "What?"
Lin Xi explained, "To form a ghost marriage, you need the other person's birth date and time. Put a piece of red paper with the birth dates and times of both people written on it into a coffin or urn, and you can become a ghost couple."
Zhuang Yi understood. "I don't know this ghost at all. It's impossible for him to know my birth date and time."
"There is only one possibility: my family members have revealed my birth date and time."
Lin Xi looked him over and said, “Judging from your appearance, your lips don’t cover your teeth and your lips are thin, which makes you susceptible to being bullied by petty people.”
"Furthermore, the slant and dimness of the left and right sun and moon corners indicate that this matter is related to your parents."
Zhuang Yi was shocked. "Impossible! My father has been bedridden for over ten years and has long since stopped caring for me. As for my mother..."
He stood there, silent.
Lin Xi said calmly, "Only a few people know your birthdate. You guessed the answer, didn't you?"
Zhuang Yi clenched his fingers. "My mother and sister know my birth date and time. There must be some misunderstanding. I need to call and ask them to clarify."
Duan Min made sarcastic remarks from the side, "No need to call, it must have been your mother and sister who conspired to sell you out. My family paid 200,000 yuan in cash, which is enough for them to live a carefree life for a long time."
"Poor child, why don't you just give in to me?"
"Find a rope and hang yourself, then come down and become my wife. I promise you'll live the high life."
Zhuang Yi roared, "Get out!!"
Duan Min didn't roll away; instead, he moved even closer. "Little brother, let me tell you, my parents burned a lot of paper money, and I own a huge villa in the underworld, a whole lot of land."
"Follow me, and you won't lose out or be fooled."
With a constant buzzing in his ears, Zhuang Yi was extremely annoyed. "Master, is there any way I can personally beat him up?"
The little kid is barely out of his teens, yet he's making such a fuss. A good beating will shut him up.
Lin Xi pulled out a blank yellow talisman. "I don't have one now, but I'll have one soon."
When she encountered such a bizarre request for the first time, she simply and directly drew a talisman to beat up ghosts.
The talisman emitted an ominous red light, frightening even to look at.
Ji Heng enthusiastically promoted, "Every punch lands hard, beat up that scumbag, and you can get the ultimate experience for only 3999."
"Give me one, I'll pay later!" Zhuang Yi was not afraid at all. He grabbed the talisman with his bare hands and rushed straight towards the transparent ghost.
Duan Min finally got scared and instinctively ran away, yelling, "Don't come any closer, or I'll hit you."
"Who's afraid of who?!"
With the blessing of the Ghost-Slaying Talisman, Zhuang Yi was filled with power, and his fists emitted bursts of lightning.
He pressed down on Duan Min's shoulder with one hand and slammed the other hand down on his head.
"Holy crap!! Aaaaaahh ...
Duan Min felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his hands and feet went weak.
Next, he was beaten into a pulp.
"Brother, I was wrong, I surrender. From now on, you'll be the one on top, and I'll lie obediently on the bottom, whatever... Ouch!!"
"How dare you talk nonsense!"
"Ouch! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! My wife is abusing me! Is there no law? Who will do something about this?"
"Ouch—!!!"
Finally, Duan Min was torn apart by five horses; his head rolled to the corner of the wall, his thigh flew out of the window, and his arm disappeared.
All that remained of his body was his thin chest.
After venting his anger, Zhuang Yi sat on the ground, panting. Looking at the chaotic ghosts, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Master, if I kill him, will I be arrested and imprisoned by the Black and White Impermanence?"
Lin Xi picked up Duan Min's head. "That little bit of strength isn't enough to kill a vengeful ghost. He's just turned into a white ghost; he's actually still alive."
"Hey, make a sound."
Duan Min opened his mouth and made a "squeak".
Lin Xi asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"have."
Duan Min spoke each word with utmost seriousness, “Mom is completely wrong. Men are a hundred times more ruthless than women. I will never marry a man again.”
Lin Xi: "..."
He insists on getting married, and he won't complain even if he gets a beating.
She took out a talisman and slapped it on Duan Min's head, then sent a message to Jiang Yuanyuan.
This case is quite complicated, involving both humans and ghosts.
Lin Xi put away her phone. "Aren't you going to make a call?"
"Me, me?"
Zhuang Yi belatedly realized what was happening, his fingers trembling as he dialed a familiar number.
Beep beep! The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.
"Hey, Xiaomin, why are you calling your mother so early in the morning? What happened?"
Since graduating from university and starting work, Zhuang Yi has rarely made phone calls on his own initiative.
His mother and sister usually call him on weekend evenings to ask about his recent life.
This was probably the first time he had called, and Zhuang Yi remained silent for a long time, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.
"Hey! Hey! Son, why aren't you saying anything? What's wrong? Speak up. Mom may not be very capable, but I can still support you by farming."
"If you encounter any unpleasant things while you're out, buy a train ticket home, and Mom will make your favorite braised noodles with green beans."
There's no way his mother would sell him; there must be some hidden reason behind the ghost marriage.
Zhuang Yi covered his mouth, his voice choked with emotion.
"Mom, do you know my birth date and time?"
"Of course I know, you're my child, how could your mother forget?"
"Then... who else knows my birth date and time?"
“Your sister, your dad, um... and your second uncle, their family is quite strange, I can tell you about it.”
Zhuang Yi pricked up his ears. "Mom, tell me quickly."
“Our family and your second uncle have never had much contact. About two weeks ago, he suddenly brought several boxes of milk to visit your dad, and his smile was as if he didn’t care about the money.”
"You can't hit someone who's smiling at you, so I let them stay for lunch. Then my second uncle asked about your sister's birth date and time..."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhuang Yi was extremely anxious. "Mom, why aren't you saying anything? This matter is very important."
“At the time, I felt it was strange that I didn’t mention your sister’s birth date, but my second uncle kept asking, and I subconsciously read out… your birth date.”
Zhuang Yi finally understood the whole thing.
My second uncle wanted my sister's birth chart to be used for a ghost marriage, but my mother gave away his birth chart instead.
That's why Duan Min came to him.
How could normal parents let their son marry a man?
It turns out it was a misunderstanding from the very beginning.
Zhuang Yi could completely accept that he had shielded his sister from harm.
"Mom didn't mean it. I blurted it out in that situation because I was flustered. Did your second uncle go looking for you?"
Zhuang Yi shook his head. "No, just avoid contact with your second uncle in the future. He has ill intentions."
"Mom remembers. The night your second uncle passed away, I couldn't sleep a wink. I consulted the village shaman, who said that one's birth date and time (based on one's birth information) shouldn't be revealed casually. Are you really alright?"
"It's alright." Zhuang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Mom has some love, but not much.
