A gentle breeze lifted the little pomelo's skirt.
The sky had become somewhat gloomy at some point.
Little Yuzu frowned slightly and looked around; the temperature had dropped a bit.
Finally, Little Yuzu's gaze fell on the old man.
The old man was dressed in a dark black Tang suit, his hair was gray, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp.
When the old man walked in and saw that it was Assistant Cheng, he frowned slightly and asked, "Xiaoya, why are you back at this time?"
His voice was deep and resonant, like an ancient tree.
Seeing his displeasure, Assistant Cheng respectfully said to the old man, "Third Grandfather, I've come to visit my grandfather."
Upon hearing this, the old man turned his gaze to Xiaoyouzi and said in a deep voice, "Is this your daughter?"
"No, no," Assistant Cheng quickly explained, "This is my boss's sister."
“The little girl wanted to come to the village to play, so I brought her along.”
As he spoke, Assistant Cheng lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of his third grandfather.
Little Yuzu, on the other hand, had beautiful eyes that met the old man's somewhat cloudy, yet still sharp gaze.
It's strange; if this person had always lived in the village, his eyes shouldn't look like that.
Little Yuzu looked at it carefully.
But they discovered that the old man's face was shrouded in a layer of black mist.
It was a sign that he was about to die.
The old man withdrew his gaze and said with displeasure, "Don't you know what our village is like? Why did you bring people back?"
He flicked his sleeve, his face filled with anger.
Assistant Cheng glanced at Xiaoyouzi, walked to the old man's side and whispered, "Third Grandfather, I know your concerns, but she's different."
“If Miss thinks this place is good, we can develop it. It will help the village get rich, and people will be more willing to stay here. Wouldn’t that be even better?” Assistant Cheng made a slight adjustment, and the effect was remarkable.
Upon hearing the word "development," Master Cheng's eyes lit up, and his expression changed slightly: "Really? It can be developed?"
"Yes, I won't lie to you." Assistant Cheng nodded.
That's not entirely untrue.
After all, the boss is already considering the feasibility.
Upon hearing this, Master Cheng waved his hand and said, "You can go in now, but come out soon."
As he spoke, he walked to a tree nearby, lay down in a comfortable rocking chair, and gently fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
The two walked a bit further inside before Assistant Cheng whispered, "My third grandfather is the village chief here. Now, all the younger people in the village have left, leaving only a dozen or so elderly households."
If something happens in the village, the elderly will be the first to be affected.
"I see."
Before the two even got close, Xiaoyouzi pointed to a grave not far away and said, "That's your grandfather's, right?"
Assistant Cheng had just randomly pointed to a spot.
But Xiaoyouzi pointed directly to the cemetery.
Assistant Cheng asked in surprise, "Little Yuzu, how did you know?"
"Just a guess."
Xiao Youzi replied calmly, then walked solemnly to the cemetery: "Your family's ancestral graves have been dug up."
"ah?"
Assistant Cheng, puzzled, circled the grave mound and said, "Miss Yuzu, I don't see any areas that have been dug up."
“Because it has already been filled in.” Little Yuzu led her to the back: “Look here, the soil is still red, unlike the yellow one next to it. It has been turned over.”
Little Yuzu coldly asked, "Did you have any treasures in your house that you buried with your grandfather?"
"No, not at all." Assistant Cheng answered crisply, "We are just an ordinary family. We didn't have any burial goods after the burial, so it's definitely different from the royal palaces and nobles of the past."
Hearing Assistant Cheng's words, Xiao Youzi didn't rush to take action: "Think about it carefully again, is it a bracelet? Beads? Or is there something special about your grandfather himself?"
After thinking for a moment, Assistant Cheng shook his head: "Really, no."
She couldn't think of anything special about her grandfather, except...
"Wait a minute, my grandfather was born on the Ghost Festival." Assistant Cheng suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration: "Could that be the reason?"
Little Yuzu nodded: "Yes, your constitution is also more yin, so it's normal that your grandfather was able to get involved with you."
"Oh, I see. So what should I do?" Assistant Cheng looked at Xiaoyouzi with a puzzled expression.
After glancing at the cemetery in front of her, Xiaoyouzi said to Assistant Cheng, "Turn around and leave the rest to me."
"good."
Assistant Cheng no longer had any doubts and turned around.
Little Yuzi took out a talisman, chanted a few words over it, and then threw it away.
The thrown talisman stuck to the tombstone and immediately burst into flames.
"ah!"
A piercing scream rang out.
Assistant Cheng almost instinctively wanted to turn around.
Just then, Xiaoyouzi's cold voice came: "Don't turn around."
Assistant Cheng paused, covered his ears, and turned back.
Little Yuzu stared coldly at the screaming black figure before her and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here committing evil? Absorbing the souls of those old people to grow stronger on your own?"
Ghosts eat other ghosts.
When a large demon eats a small demon, it will increase its own cultivation level.
"What's it to you, you little brat!" the dark figure swore, trying to attack Xiaoyouzi, but the flames on the talisman suddenly intensified.
Little Pomelo said coldly, "If you don't want to be burned to ashes, you'd better answer honestly."
Her little face was serious, and she wasn't trying to scare the ghost at all; she was just telling the truth.
"Master, I was wrong, young master, please stop your supernatural powers immediately!"
The shadowy figure was initially quite stubborn.
When they realized that the flames wouldn't go out no matter what they did, they knew they had encountered a tough opponent and had no choice but to beg for mercy.
