Chapter 23 Seeing Ghosts



In an instant, the rich aroma of meat exploded in Xiao Shitou's mouth. This bite of braised pork was so delicious that he almost couldn't resist biting off his own tongue.

It's delicious, absolutely delicious.

Like the other children present, once they took a bite, they couldn't stop. Little Stone and the others didn't even have time to talk, and the only sound in the room was the sound of eating.

Seeing this, Song Mian and Lin Jiaojiao exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.

The children quickly finished all the food on the table.

Even without Xiaoshitou's prompting, the children automatically put away their bowls and chopsticks.

Although these child ghosts have incomplete bodies, they are very efficient at wiping tables, washing dishes, and sweeping the floor.

Song Mian couldn't stop them. After the children finished their work, she listened to them introduce themselves one by one.

Like Little Stone, the children's names are very simple, such as Little Pillar, Little Flower, Little Phoenix, and other very simple names.

"Did people back then like to give their children such simple names?" Song Mian was amused.

The only male ghost among them with a proper name was Hong Sheng. He was the oldest among the child ghosts and had the most severe injuries.

With bandages tied around his head and body, Hong Sheng kept his head down, trying to hide the burn marks on his body.

But his hands were broken down to his wrists, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hide it: "Most of us were born and raised in the mountains. Back then, parents thought that it was easier to raise a child if he had a simple name, otherwise he would not survive."

As Song Mian listened to Hong Sheng's earnest words, her gaze couldn't help but sweep over the child ghosts.

The oldest among them was no more than thirteen years old; they were all children who had died tragically before they grew up.

Trying not to dwell on such upsetting thoughts, Song Mian forced a smile and said to the children present, "You all should change your clothes. Why don't you all go to my shop and pick something out?"

“Sister, thank you, but it’s alright. We’re already ghosts, so it doesn’t matter whether we look good or not,” Hong Sheng said earnestly.

For these wandering ghosts, being able to eat a meal is already a luxury.

Thinking of this, Hong Sheng touched his still empty stomach after eating.

He doesn't remember anything about his past life, but he's content now that he can have a full meal.

"How about I take you guys out to play with the young boss?" Lin Jiaojiao winked at Song Mian. "Young boss, the Qi family's group has a super huge amusement park."

Song Mian instantly realized: "Did you ask Mr. Qi to prepare an amusement park for us?"

"It's not just for us; it's originally an amusement park with nighttime hours. When the time comes, you, the little boss, can take all of us ghosts to play together with your VIP ticket."

Song Mian imagined that she was the only living person sitting on an amusement park ride, while the rest of the people on it were all ghosts!

My goodness, this scene is so beautiful, she can hardly bear to look at it!

Seeing that the children couldn't understand what an 'amusement park' was, Lin Jiaojiao immediately put her knowledge to use and described her understanding of an amusement park in extremely exaggerated terms.

The children, who were initially confused, all looked on with expectant, starry eyes after hearing this.

Seeing Lin Jiaojiao leading all the ghost children to look at her, Song Mian felt a sudden pressure!

Not wanting to keep an eye on so many kids all at once, Song Mian made a phone call without hesitation.

Soon, Kuli Qi, the sucker, arrived at the funeral shop in a bus.

Song Mian sat in the passenger seat, and the remaining ghosts got into the car one by one.

Once all the ghosts were seated, the entire bus was filled with an eerie atmosphere, so cool that there was no need to turn on the air conditioning.

In the sweltering summer heat, Song Mian silently wrapped her jacket tighter around herself and announced her departure.

The bus started up and successfully took a group of children out for a trip!

Qi Yefeng quickly drove the bus to the amusement park.

Using his wealth, he drove the bus directly into the amusement park. After Qi Yefeng got off the bus, he watched as Song Mian followed closely behind.

As Song Mian stood at the bus door and began calling out names one by one, Qi Yefeng looked around.

To onlookers, Song Mian appeared to be pointing at thin air.

He was standing next to Song Mian, waiting for her to point and gesture in the air.

"Boss Song, could you speed things up a little?" Qi Yefeng said seriously, his expression grave. "Right now, to other people, we really look like two lunatics."

"If you want to complain, go find Jiaojiao," Song Mian said, moving closer to Qi Yefeng and waving her hand in front of him. "There are so many ghosts here, are you sure you really can't see a single one?"

Qi Yefeng could only see the air in front of him. He squinted and tried hard to observe.

Seeing how intently Qi Yefeng was watching, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but move closer.

The human and the ghost were so close that their faces were practically touching when Lin Jiaojiao's face passed right through Qi Yefeng's head.

"My God?!" Seeing the ghost invading a person, Song Mian felt that this scene was really too exciting!

Just as she was about to stop Lin Jiaojiao, she saw Xiao Shitou approach Qi Yefeng.

"Big brother, I'm here." Little Stone exhaled softly as he spoke, his illusory body floating in the air, stirring up ripples around him.

Qi Yefeng, whose gaze had been unfocused, lowered his head and actually looked at the little stone.

"Boss Song, is there a ghost here?" Qi Yefeng reached out and tentatively grabbed at the air.

Upon touching a patch of cool air, Qi Yefeng was surprised to find a small, blurry figure appearing before his eyes.

Although it was blurry, the ghost's pale face suddenly appeared, which still startled Qi Yefeng.

"Qi Yefeng, you can actually see ghosts?" Song Mian was very surprised.

You should know that, up to this point, she only knows that she can see ghosts!

“Boss, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that Ye Feng has the ability to see ghosts, but that we want Ye Feng to see ghosts.” Lin Jiaojiao explained after thinking for a moment: “I am a low-level ghost. I don’t have enough power to make the living see me. At most, I can only make some small noises to make the living aware of my existence.”

"Yes, I witnessed firsthand how you caused those supernatural events when I was at the Lin family's house." Song Mian still remembered that Lin Jiaojiao was very angry at the time, causing a huge gust of wind to blow throughout the Lin family's house, and even the light bulbs hanging in the ceiling were flickering.

“Although we ghosts cannot directly touch living people or things in the mortal world, we can cause some supernatural events. Moreover, the higher the level of the ghost, the greater the impact. For example, a mid-level ghost like Little Stone can make people temporarily see our form by performing what you living people call ‘possession’.”
