Chapter 181 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge



The old lady shook her head, indicating that she had never seen it.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the ghost messenger came.

The old lady was kind and amiable: "Little friend, grandma is tired and needs to rest. You can stay here as long as you want. If you are hungry, eat first."

"You can't sleep." You absolutely can't sleep. If you fall asleep, you'll never wake up again. Chu Chu became anxious.

The old lady was slightly stunned and looked at Chuchu with some confusion.

But her tone was still gentle: "Little friend, grandma is really tired. And grandma is old, now is the time to rest, you can't be willful."

Chuchu looked at the old lady's old and kind face, and her heart ached. She only then realized that the old lady actually lived alone.

In the empty house, there was no one else except the old lady and Chuchu. Such loneliness and solitude were a bit pitiful.

"Grandma, where is your spouse? Where are your children?"

"Well... he passed away a long time ago. I also had a daughter who passed away... but it was so long ago that I've forgotten."

The ghost messengers came to Chuchu silently, and one of them pleaded helplessly: "Princess, the old lady is 90 years old this year, and her life span has come to an end."

Chuchu frowned slightly, using her eyes to signal them to calm down. She turned to look at the old lady beside her, a gentle smile on her face: "Grandma, I will accompany you to rest, okay?"

Chuchu knew that being able to leave this world in one’s sleep was the greatest blessing for an elderly person.

"Okay." The old lady replied softly with a peaceful smile on her face. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Chuchu stood by the bed, waiting quietly. Only after she was sure that the old lady was asleep did she take the information from the ghost messenger.

She quickly scanned the information, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. It turned out that this old lady hadn't been a human in her previous life, but the longevity grass hairpin her mother had once worn.

Painter, pianist, writer... these were all the old lady's past identities. Her husband was a successful businessman, but her daughter died early from leukemia.

Chu Chu returned the information to the ghost messenger, her face cold for a moment: "Remember, you didn't see me today. You should know that I may not be able to do anything to the underworld, but I am still capable of dealing with a few people who are not tight-lipped."

"Yes, don't worry, Diji, we have never seen Diji in the human world."

Chuchu thought of the Black and White Impermanence who had been haunting me recently, and said, "Tell your Seventh Master and Eighth Master to stop chasing me for a while. They're not even tired of it."

"Yes, Princess Di."

As soon as Chuchu came back from outside, Lu Chenguang took her to the Song family.

Coincidentally, Song Yaqing pushed the door open to check on her daughter. When she saw Lu Chenguang was also there, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Chen Guang, when did you come? It's already 11 o'clock in the evening." Song Yaqing asked with a hint of concern in her tone.

Lu Chenguang touched his nose awkwardly and replied, "Um... well, I came here this afternoon, and it's really a bit late now, so I'll go back first..."

Chu Chu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it's already so late, let Brother Shen Guang stay. Didn't Zhao Feng leave? There's a vacant room, so it's okay for Brother Shen Guang to stay for one night."

After hearing Chu Chu's words, Song Yaqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Does your mother know?"

Kids nowadays are very willful, they do whatever they want without her even knowing it.

"I know, of course I know." Lu Chenguang had no choice but to lie. He came very quickly and didn't bother to tell Ren Jinting.

Chuchu smiled slightly and waved her hand: “Brother Shen Guang, go and have a rest. See you tomorrow morning.”

Lu Chenguang was taken by Song Yaqing to rest.

Chuchu turned off the lights and lay on the bed thinking, but the clue was broken again.

Unexpectedly, I found Gong Qin, which is the hairpin.

So where should she look next?

As she was thinking, Chuchu fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Chu Chu was awakened by her second brother Chu Lei's screams.

"Lu Chenguang, when did you come to my house? You're still living in my house, and you're wearing my pajamas?"

Lu Chenguang responded: "I come whenever I want. Don't you come to my house often? Didn't you wear my slippers when you went to my house?"

[How could Chu Lei be a match for the Demon Lord?]

[Our IQs are not even on the same level. ]

Just as Chuchu was complaining, Chu Lei rushed in and asked bluntly, "Chuchu, did you call Lu Chenguang here?"

Chu Chu sat up and nodded. Was there any need to be so surprised about this?

Chu Lei felt that his sister liked Lu Chenguang too much, and said sourly: "He is my classmate, not your classmate. How can you call him that casually?"

Chu Chu looked at Chu Lei's childish appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Lu Chenguang is our friend, what's wrong with asking him to stay at our house for one night? Besides, don't we often go to their house?"

Chu Lei was speechless for a moment after being told this by his sister. He knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to give in. "Even if that's the case, then why is he wearing my pajamas? How did my pajamas end up on him?"

Chu Chu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this: "What's so strange about this? It was so late last night, how could I have time to find new pajamas?"

Chu Lei was still furious, "You are just a traitor. You favor Lu Chenguang, but I am your second brother."

He ran away angrily.

Chu Chu looked at Chu Lei's angry back and couldn't help but shook her head and smiled.

[When will my second brother grow up? ]

Chuchu washed herself and was brushing her teeth vigorously when Lu Chenguang came in.

Lu Chenguang leaned against the door and asked, "You seem to be adapting to your current life quite well?"

Chuchu had bubbles in her mouth and asked vaguely: "Are you not used to it?"

Lu Chenguang asked, "The clue is broken again. What are you going to do next?"

Chuchu finished brushing her teeth and put away her toothbrushes.

"I don't know." She really didn't know.

Lu Chenguang added: "The underworld will soon know that you are in the human world, and the demon world won't be able to hide it for long."

Chu Chu always felt that Lu Chenguang was mocking her, so she said, "I just know that if you don't go back now, your godmother will definitely be very nervous."

Lu Chenguang didn't expect Chuchu to say that. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If I go back, how will you explain my sudden departure?"

Chuchu thought for a moment and said easily, "That's easy. Just say you were afraid of being scolded by your godmother, so you decided to take a taxi and leave. Isn't that enough?"

Lu Chenguang looked at Chuchu's nonchalant expression and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "I hope that next time you ask me for help, you can still maintain this calmness."
