Chapter 194: Brother, Not Sister
Tongtong was stunned for a moment, then reacted. His eyes fell on the word "Tong" engraved in the middle of the safety lock. He widened his eyes slightly and said in surprise, "Isn't this my safety lock?"
"Yes, it's your safety lock." Tu Shanyue replied.
"But I remember I gave it as a gift a little fox. How come it is in your hands, sister?" Tongtong said in surprise.
"Did you meet that little fox, or did you pick it up yourself?"
Tu Shanyue squatted down, looked at her at eye level, and said slowly with a gentle expression: "Tongtong, you may not believe it, but I am the little fox you saved that year."
Tongtong's eyes were filled with deep surprise, and her brows were full of disbelief. "Sister, you are not lying to me, are you? A little fox is a little fox, how can it be a human?"
"Because I'm not an ordinary little fox, I'm a divine beast. I can cultivate and transform into a human." Tu Shanyue explained, "It's just that I was injured at the time, as you know, so I couldn't maintain my human form for a while."
He paused, then added, "If you don't believe me, I can change back now and show you."
Tongtong nodded and said, "Sister, then please show me what you are."
"Okay." Tu Shanyue responded and immediately changed back to her original form.
Tongtong looked at the beautiful sister who was squatting in front of him. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a little white fox, with her mouth slightly open and a look of shock, obviously stunned.
"How about it, do you believe it now?" Tu Shanyue asked.
Tongtong came back to his senses, stared at him carefully, and soon confirmed that he was the injured little fox he had picked up.
Her eyes lit up, and this time she really believed what he said. She subconsciously reached out and picked him up from the ground, saying excitedly: "Little fox, no, sister, it's really you!"
Tu Shanyue rubbed her cold heart with her head, "Yes, Tongtong, it's me."
"Sister, are your wounds healed?" Tongtong asked.
Tu Shanyue nodded, her voice tinged with laughter, "Then everything must be fine, thanks to your safety lock."
"That's good!" Tongtong said with a smile, "I said the safety lock my dad gave me is very effective!"
She bent down and put him back, then asked again, "By the way, sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Tu Shanyue turned back into human form, her eyes moved slightly, and she finally decided not to tell her the cruel truth.
Perhaps not knowing anything is actually the best thing for her.
Tu Shanyue collected her thoughts for a moment, "Tongtong, I've always wanted to say sorry to you. If you hadn't gone up the mountain to collect herbs for me, you wouldn't be like this now. It's all my fault."
"Sister, I don't blame you. Even if I wasn't going to pick herbs, I would have gone up the mountain." Tongtong shook his head and explained, "Because we've finished eating the vegetables at home, I also wanted to go pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. I just picked herbs for you first."
"I was too stupid and accidentally slipped and fell. It has nothing to do with you, sister. Please don't think too much about it."
"Besides, I'm fine the way I am now. Even though no one can see me and talk to me, I'm happy just wandering around on my own. I don't have to worry about running into bad people anymore."
Even though Tu Shanyue was a grown man, his eyes couldn't help but turn red when he heard her words.
Even after becoming a ghost, she is still that optimistic and cheerful little girl.
Tu Shanyue raised her head slightly, controlled her tears, and after calming down, she looked at Tongtong again and asked, "Tongtong, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I can help you realize them."
Tongtong's eyes lit up, "Is it really possible, sister?"
"Of course." Tu Shanyue replied.
"Sister, I've been looking for my dad, but I don't know where he is." Tongtong said, "Sister, can you help me find my dad?"
Tu Shanyue knew she would bring this up. Her eyes flickered, and she spread her hands, saying helplessly, "Tongtong, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. The world is so big, and with so many people, it's hard to find someone."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Tongtong's eyes. "It's okay, sister. If you can't find it, forget it."
Tu Shanyue hummed softly, "Then why don't you think of something else?"
Tongtong shook her head. "Sister, apart from this, I don't have any other wishes I want to fulfill. Thank you."
"I can find your father." Li Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Tu Shanyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she reacted and turned to look at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself: "Master Li..."
Li Zhi knew what he wanted to say and gave him a calming look. "Don't be impatient. Just listen to me."
Tongtong's eyes fell on her, and the excitement in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed. He asked impatiently: "Sister, is what you said true? Can you really help me find my father?"
Li Zhi nodded. "Yes, but you can only watch and not talk to him or anything like that. Is that okay?"
Tu Shanyue now understood Li Zhi's intention. If it was just for a look, then it might be okay.
After all, this is Tongtong's only wish and her obsession, which is to see her father.
Just let her see it, let her know that her father is doing well, then she can really let it go.
Tongtong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I just want to see my dad once!"
"Okay, then come with us. We'll leave here today and take you to find your father." Li Zhi turned to look at Tu Shanyue and stretched out her hand to him, "Give me your safety lock."
Tu Shanyue immediately handed her the safety lock.
Li Zhi took it, channeled some spiritual energy into it, and then said to Tong Tong, "You stay in here for now."
"Okay, sister." Tongtong responded.
Tu Shanyue pointed at herself who had changed back into men's clothes, "By the way, Tongtong, I'm not your sister, I'm your brother."
Maybe it was because her face was too beautiful and she had long hair, so she mistakenly thought she was a girl.
Tongtong's eyes widened slightly, and he looked him up and down, saying in disbelief: "You are my brother?!"
"Yes, I am a boy." Tu Shanyue said.
Tongtong exclaimed, "Brother, you are so beautiful, just like a girl!"
Tu Shanyue curled the corners of her lips and said, "Okay, go inside the safe lock, and we'll take you to find your father now."
Tongtong nodded obediently, then disappeared from the spot and entered the safety lock.
Li Zhi lowered his eyes to glance at the safety lock in his hand, then returned it to Tu Shanyue. "Okay, let's go down the mountain."
"Okay." Tu Shanyue nodded, reached out to take it and put it away, then raised her foot and followed Li Zhi down the mountain.
