"Master, save me! Please save me!!"
The man was soaking wet, kneeling on the ground and crying uncontrollably, as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Almost every day, people in Dedaotang shout for help; the elderly folks are used to it.
An older woman pulled out a few tissues and said, "Young man, don't rush, wipe your face first."
"No! No! Don't come any closer!!"
The man's face was filled with terror, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "She's coming! Help me! Help me!"
Someone asked, "Who's coming? This sounds a bit creepy."
The elderly couple said, "This young man's face is deathly pale, and his eyes are dark and bluish-black. He must have encountered a ghost."
"He was able to run to the Dedao Hall and shout for help, so it seems the ghost he encountered wasn't too fierce. Everyone doesn't need to be afraid."
"I brought some sunflower seeds, want some?"
The elderly folks have been staying at Dedaotang for a long time and have accumulated experience. They know a little bit about everything except how to catch ghosts.
Who's calling for help?
Chu Chu ran in with her schoolbag on her back, her face full of excitement.
The elderly men and women smiled kindly, "Little master, you're out of school?"
Chu Chu nodded. "Hello, grandpas and grandmas. Mom can't come today, so I'll come in her place for the day."
Some people questioned, "How old is she?"
Chu Chu confidently introduced himself, "I'll be six years old next month, just starting first grade. I have two years of ghost-catching experience, I'm not a little kid."
She walked up to the man, putting on a mature air, and said, "What happened? Tell me."
Zhang Lei, the man, was terrified and kept shouting for help, seemingly not hearing Chu Chu's words.
Chu Chu raised her hand, made a hand seal, and tapped his head hard, saying, "Demons and monsters, have nowhere to hide."
Zhang Lei was stunned, and his cloudy eyes gradually became clear.
He looked around and said, "Thank you everyone."
Chu Chu: "How did you manage to provoke that ghost?"
Zhang Lei's face stiffened. "No, I didn't encounter any ghosts. I didn't sleep well last night and was momentarily distracted."
He took out a few bills and forced them on Chu Chu, saying, "I understand the rules of Dedaotang. I'll buy you candy."
At first, she didn't answer. Did she think I was a three-year-old child, easy to fool?
He looked directly into Zhang Lei's eyes. "You know about Dedaotang, and you also know that there are masters here who can exorcise ghosts."
"The fact that you instinctively ran here to shout for help means you've studied ghosts, or are even involved in the underworld."
Zhang Lei denied it, saying, "I'm just an ordinary person."
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Chu Chu calmly replied, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. You have a very deep connection with that ghost."
"I suspect that the ghost's death is related to you."
Zhang Lei stood frozen in place.
The elderly men and women chatted while eating sunflower seeds.
"Based on my years of experience as a gossip observer, murders between men and women are either crimes of passion or revenge, or they are either for money or for infidelity."
"I guess the ghost was his lover. She was dissatisfied with being just a lover and forced him to divorce his wife, but he was just playing around. The ghost was deceived both physically and emotionally and committed suicide in despair."
"What's so hard to say? I bet the ghost is his wife. He fell in love with someone else, but for the sake of his wealth and reputation, he plotted to kill his wife. He never expected that his wife would come back to haunt him as a ghost..."
In just one minute, the elderly folks came up with dozens of versions.
At first glance, I was amazed to find that my mother's job was so interesting, much more exciting than the boring school life.
She imitated her mother, speaking in a serious tone.
"You have an extremely heavy yin energy. If you continue to come into contact with that ghost, you won't live past midnight tonight."
These words struck Zhang Lei like a hammer blow, and he cried as he spoke.
"Please, Master, save my life."
“I do know that ghost. She was a fervent pursuer of mine. I rejected her many times, but she wouldn’t give up and it seriously affected my life.”
"I spoke a bit harshly that day, and I never expected that after she went home... she would commit suicide!"
Zhang Lei sighed, "I'm sorry to her. Her death was indeed related to me. I shouldn't have said those things that day..."
"Oh?" Chu Chu raised an eyebrow. "How did she die?"
Zhang Lei looked grief-stricken. "He took sleeping pills."
Chu Chu blinked. "You smell like seaweed. That's a drowned ghost."
Her voice was young, but it was not to be ignored.
"You're lying, dishonest adult."
The elderly men and women immediately surrounded Zhang Lei, asking, "Who gave you the courage to lie in front of the young master?"
"The young master was taught by Master Lin, who is the most powerful master in the world."
"I, I..." Zhang Lei tried to explain.
Chu Chu interrupted, "I don't have time to listen to nonsense, I need to rush home to do my homework."
"Call the police; the charge is intentional homicide."
Zhang Lei panicked completely. "I didn't... I didn't want to kill her, she fell down by herself..."
People from the Special Administration Bureau often staked out the vicinity of Dedaotang, and Zhang Lei was soon taken away.
This is a very simple matter.
Zhang Lei encountered a female ghost while in college and began to pursue her intensely.
The female ghost came from a wealthy family and had a naive personality. She couldn't resist Zhang Lei's pursuit and quickly fell in love with him.
Because Zhang Lei married a female ghost, he entered the ghost's family company and became the general manager.
After the female ghost's parents passed away, Zhang Lei took control of the entire company, and his ambition grew ever larger.
He wanted to prove that he had achieved this day not because of his parents-in-law, but because of himself, so he demanded that the female ghost leave the house penniless.
The female ghost naturally refused, and then discovered that Zhang Lei had already cheated on her, kept a woman outside, and had three illegitimate children.
Enraged, the female ghost tried to take Zhang Lei down with her, but unexpectedly, Zhang Lei pushed her into the river and killed her instead.
Zhang Lei refused to tell the truth, fearing that others would discover the truth about his murder.
"The adult world is so complicated."
After sending the female ghost to the gates of hell, Chu Chu glanced at his phone watch and immediately ran home.
Oh no! It's 8:30!
She ran away from home; she had to be back before eight o'clock.
"Chu Chu, where are you going again?"
Chu Chu paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, I was just about to go home. I'm so happy to see you."
Lin Xi sighed and patted her daughter's hair. "You've sneaked out to catch ghosts again. Don't forget what you promised?"
Chu Chu promised to eat on time, go to bed before 10 pm, and let me know in advance where she was going.
I broke all the rules tonight.
Chu Chu promised, "I'll definitely remember next time."
Lin Xi saw through it all. "You said the same thing last time. Go explain it to your dad yourself."
Chu Chu smiled mischievously, "Mom, please help me, Dad will only listen to you."
Lin Xi: "This will not be repeated."
"Mom is the best." Chu Chu kissed her. "I love Mom the most."
Lin Xi said softly, "Children shouldn't stay up late. If they don't get enough sleep, they won't grow tall."
Chu Chu: "I inherited my dad's long legs, so the idea that I won't grow tall is out of the question."
"I have a special ability; I can grow taller just by opening my eyes."
She first tiptoed, her eyebrows and eyes curving.
"Mom, look, haven't I grown taller again?"
