Chapter 198

The woman holding the child appeared in front of Zheng Meihui with a smile on her face.

"Hello, I don't know if you have seen me before. But I look like Zhou Ahui, or even more like Zhou Amei. You should know this after just one look."

Zheng Meihui was startled and wanted to turn around and run away, but she suppressed the impulse and stood where she was, her body trembling a little, but she tried hard to muster up the courage to look closely at the man's face.

"You do look a bit like me, and you look a bit like that person, too."

Zheng Meihui shifted her gaze to the side and looked at Zhou Ahui, and found that Zhou Ahui's face and the woman with the child had both similarities and differences, as if they were really a pair of twin sisters.

"So what exactly is going on? Who can tell me in detail?"

Zheng Meihui asked.

"Let me tell you something you don't know."

The woman with the child smiled.

"A long time ago, I was just a thing, a thing in a small temple on the back wall of an abandoned mahjong parlor.

At that time, the owner of the mahjong hall was still there, and the small noodle shop next door also had an owner.

The people there haven't had time to move away yet, so on weekdays everyone is either at work, at school, or out shopping, so it's quite busy.

Zhou Amei suddenly disappeared.

Many people go looking for it.

The owner of the mahjong parlor felt that the child had played in his shop before and he had been entrusted with the care of the child, so he also had a responsibility to find the child.

He didn't find the child and was very sad. He went home to discuss the matter with his wife. His wife said, "It's someone else's child. What does it have to do with you? You can't even take care of your own family, so why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"

The boss said, but the child had played in my shop before, and the room was tidied up in the evening. The child was missing and it was my fault for not taking good care of him. If I had paid more attention, perhaps this would not have happened.

The boss's wife was furious. She said, "You can't even take care of your own home, and you go and manage other people. You even don't care about your own shop. What kind of boss are you? What kind of husband are you?"

The boss said, "But I can't just sit there and do nothing, can I? Even if I have nothing to do with them, we are from the same village and have been neighbors for so many years, so why wouldn't I help with even this little thing?"

I'm not asking you to spend money or do any work. You're just watching a shop. Why are you so angry? Haven't you seen this before? Haven't I seen a shop before?

The boss's wife became even angrier and shouted, "Am I your family or is that child your family? Am I marrying you or are you marrying that child's mother?"

The boss said, of course I only have a relationship with you, you are my relative, my wife, my family, I have not denied this, why are you bringing this up?

The boss's wife sneered and said, I thought you didn't care about me anymore.

The boss asked you why you started to act unreasonably again?

The boss's wife yelled, "Am I being unreasonable? It's obviously you who is looking for trouble! If you don't go, you will be the one guarding the shop today."

Do I have any complaints? Didn't I guard the shop when you asked me to? If I really didn't care, I should leave immediately. I've been unlucky to marry you.

The boss was also angry, saying, "I never thought you were such a cold-blooded and selfish person. Why didn't I see that before? I was really blind to marry you. Any reasonable person would not say that I shouldn't go."

Besides, I was just helping, and I didn't really help, but you still blame me. Are you from my family or from that dealer's family? Is there any harm in finding the child?

The child is not at our house every day, so how can I see you? Are you very good at taking care of children? No one has ever said that, and I don't think so either.

They had a big fight and went into a cold war with each other. They didn't speak to each other for several days. They just went about their daily lives, working the shop, cleaning the bathroom, and washing up in order.

After that they quarreled frequently and finally divorced.

After the divorce, the boss's wife left and went very far away. She probably wanted to fly away and never go back or see the boss again.

Out of sight, out of mind. I feel better. I can just pretend that I don't have this husband and I have never been married. Maybe life will be better.

No one stopped the boss's wife, so the boss opened the shop by himself, but he was absent-minded and always wanted to find the child.

Ever since his wife divorced him and left him, this matter has become a demon in his heart. If he doesn't resolve this matter, he will feel like there is a stone pressing on his heart no matter what he does.

When he was alone, he always murmured to me, "What a pity!"

If only I hadn't had anything to do with that child, if only the child hadn't been lost, if only my wife hadn't left me.

Sometimes he would lose his temper, sometimes he would cry, sometimes he would be pitiful and pray to me, and sometimes he would say nothing and just sit there stupidly.

A person sits from day to night without opening the door to receive guests or going out to buy things, as if he does not need to eat, drink water, take a bath, wash his hair, do laundry, or go to sleep.

I looked at him and could do nothing but watch him grow older and more helpless day by day.

He was finally dying, but his body was not dead yet; he was not old enough to die of old age.

He wasn't sick, he just couldn't survive.

Because he didn't want to live anymore.

This incident would stay in his mind for many years, and he thought he would never be able to escape from it in his lifetime, so he planned to go to the mountains.

Because he heard that the child was last seen in the mountains, he wanted to try his luck. It would be great if he could find the child.

If he couldn't find it, then dying would be a good destination for him. He packed his things, said goodbye to me, and left.

I couldn't stop him, nor did I want to stop him, because I knew I couldn't. I was not even his wife, so what could I do for him?

His wife had divorced him, and I was even less of a person. I waited day after day, but he didn't come back. Maybe he died in the mountains, I didn't know.

But when I went to the mountains to look for him, everything had changed and there was no trace of him anywhere.

I feel like this is something that is going to trap everyone involved in it.

I was unwilling to give up, so I started to think of a solution.

I was circling the mountain like a patrol, and finally one day I found a dead body. It was the body of an old man.

I couldn't recognize who that person was, I just felt that he looked familiar. I thought maybe he was the owner of the mahjong parlor, or maybe he was that owner's relative.

Or maybe he is the child born to his boss's wife after the divorce and came back to visit his old father.

It doesn't matter. No matter which one it is, I have no blood relationship with it, but I was so hungry that I swallowed the corpse as if it was the body of the mahjong hall owner.

After swallowing the corpse, my energy was replenished, and the endless days of confusion and sleep in the mountains ended. My obsession and body, which were almost dissipated, were re-condensed.

I became what I am now, but I felt it was not enough, so I looked around and found the boss's relatives.

I swallowed a child, and then I gave birth to the child using human pregnancy methods. Do you think his face looks like the boss?

He is the same as my boss here, except that he is younger than my boss.

To be precise, he should be considered as the boss in his childhood state after □□'s reincarnation.

I didn't find the boss's soul. Maybe he didn't want to see me, maybe he didn't know I was there, or maybe he was somewhere else. I didn't want to look for him anymore. It was too troublesome.

What's more, I already have a boss and there's no need to find a second one. What if they quarrel? I don't know who to help.

I don't want to encounter such a situation, so it's better to terminate the matter early.

I still felt that life was not easy because I remembered that the boss wanted to find a child before, so I went back to the abandoned mahjong hall and searched inch by inch.

The body of a little girl was found.

I also swallowed the body of the little girl. My body became more solid and my strength became stronger. I found that the little girl was the child that the boss was looking for.

I thought, well, things have come to this point and there is no need to consider it anymore.

The boss fired me because he felt guilty about that kid.

As for my origins, maybe you know them, maybe you don’t, so I will tell you again.

Boss, after the parents of the family whose child was missing found the master, they met with the master alone before the master left.

He asked the master to make another thing that could be used to find people for him to keep.

I am that which was made.

After so many years, and with countless human concerns and perhaps a little guilt, I have become the person I am now, able to walk freely.

The things in the abandoned mahjong hall are my essence. I am not afraid of you knowing it. You can burn them with fire or throw them into the water. It will not affect me.

That thing is not so easy to destroy, and I don't care what you want to do with it.

Anyway, the person has been found, right?

Are you still wondering why I look like the same person as that girl?

Because when the master created me, he based my appearance on the lost girl, so I look somewhat like her.

I swallowed the girl's body and used the energy to transform myself into my current appearance. Over the years, I have gained two more similarities, the girl's former relatives. All of them within three generations have died.

The rest of the people I met were either unfamiliar to me or I didn’t recognize them. It’s understandable that they thought I looked like them just by looking at their photos. If they didn’t think I looked like them, it was because we hadn’t met for so many years.

There is nothing to doubt, and nothing that doesn't make sense.

Besides, I haven’t even met them yet.”
