Zhang Meng lowered her head and saw him trembling with fear. She smiled and patted his head, "What are you afraid of? You are a human now, not a ghost. Why should you be afraid of him?"
Xiaobao was stunned immediately and looked down at his own little body. Then he remembered that he was no longer the infant spirit Xiaobao, but was now a human being.
Zhang Meng didn't pay much attention to Xiaobao's mood of alternating joy and fear. Her mind was now full of Changsheng who had left with Horse-Faced Demon. She didn't know whether that guy could be chosen as the soul-catcher.
At this time, Gu Mingtai came over, saw the worry in her heart, and gently held her hand, "Don't worry so much, everything is in the will of heaven. If Changsheng is not destined to die, he will naturally be chosen as the Soul Catcher. If the heavens want his soul, no matter how hard we try to save him, it will be difficult to defeat heaven."
Zhang Meng leaned her head gently on his shoulder, "I know, I just can't help but worry. After all, Changsheng has helped me a lot."
The young couple packed up their tools and left Xiaobao's house and went straight back to Zhang's house.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Grandma Zhang talking to someone inside.
"Is there a guest at home? Who is it?" Standing at the door, Zhang Meng asked Gu Mingtai beside her.
"Just go in and take a look and you'll know." Gu Mingtai took her hand and walked inside.
As soon as I entered, I saw three familiar faces.
"I'm back, I'm back." Grandma Zhang shouted first.
This left Zhang Meng with no chance to turn around and escape, so she had no choice but to walk in.
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, Sister Xiaoran, why are you here?"
Zhang Meng had just finished speaking, and before she even took a step inside, Mother Shen ran over crying and held her hand, "Xiao Meng, Feng'er is gone."
Xiao Ran also looked at Zhang Meng with red eyes, "Xiao Meng, have you seen Brother Feng? We have been unable to find him, and we really have no choice but to come here to ask you."
Looking at the worried faces of the three members of the family, Zhang Meng glanced at Gu Mingtai beside him, and then said, "Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, Sister Xiaoran, I just saw the chief, no, Brother Shen."
When the family of three heard this, happy smiles appeared on their faces. Shen's mother asked, "Really? What about him? This child is really something. He ran back without saying a word and made us so worried."
"Let's go, take your aunt to find him." After saying that, Mother Shen took Zhang Meng's hand and walked outside.
Zhang Meng grabbed Mother Shen’s hand and called out in embarrassment, “Auntie.”
Mother Shen slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Meng, who was having trouble speaking. The smile on her face slowly froze, "What's wrong?"
"Aunt, Brother Shen has been taken to the underworld." Zhang Meng spoke these words carefully.
Mother Shen’s body swayed, and she fell backwards.
"aunt."
"mom."
"My dear." At once, several anxious shouts were heard from the Zhang family.
Just when Shen's mother's body was about to hit the ground, Gu Mingtai appeared in time and supported Shen's mother's body.
Mother Shen woke up slowly and cried, "How could this happen? I finally recognized my son, but why did he go back to the underworld? Will we be separated forever from now on?"
Zhang Meng quickly came over and held her hand, explaining, "Aunt, Brother Shen didn't want to do this either. In fact, he wanted to be with you forever. But he's a ghost after all. If he stays with you humans for too long, not only will you be hurt, but he will too. To be honest, he almost died when he came back this time."
Mother Shen was so frightened that she stopped crying and looked at Zhang Meng nervously, "How could this happen? Will my son be okay?"
Zhang Meng patted the back of her hand and quickly said, "Actually, he went down this time to apply for the position of Soul Catcher held in the underworld. If Brother Shen is selected, not only will his soul not be scattered, but you will also be able to see you often in the future."
After hearing this, Mother Shen suddenly burst into laughter and said, "That's good, that's good. As long as he can come back to see me, anything is fine."
After seeing off the family of three, Zhang Meng said a few words to Grandma Zhang, and then the couple went into the house together and started making a paper bicycle for the horse-faced statue.
That night, Zhang Meng burned the paper bicycle to the horse-faced ghost messenger below.
For the next two days, Zhang Meng stayed at home waiting for news from Changsheng.
Unfortunately, ever since Changsheng followed Ma-mian to the underworld, he seemed to have disappeared, with no news of him at all.
What she didn't expect was that what she was waiting for was something else.
On this day, Zhang Meng was still drawing talismans and learning how to make paper figures as usual.
Just as she was sitting in the yard making paper figures, Xiao Tao and Xiao Hu, who were out playing, suddenly came in with two men in military uniforms.
"Sister, sister, look, I brought two brothers-in-law." Xiaohu shouted happily.
Zhang Meng, who was making paper figurines in the yard, frowned slightly. What two brothers-in-law? What the hell was that little guy Xiaohu doing? As soon as she stood up, Xiaohu, Xiaobao, and two other PLA soldiers in military uniforms entered the yard.
Xiaohu didn't know what trouble his words had caused. There was a happy smile on his little face. He pulled a PLA comrade with a red face and ran towards Zhang Meng.
"Sister, sister, look, one, two brothers-in-law, I found them." Xiaohu shouted to Zhang Meng with a look of seeking credit.
The PLA comrade whose hand Xiaohu was holding greeted Zhang Meng with a blushing face, "Comrade Zhang Meng, is that you?"
Zhang Meng nodded and looked at them both unfamiliarly, "Who are you?"
