Mengmeng was pulled by Yangyang to catch up with the old woman. The old woman walked so slowly that the two boys easily caught up with her.
Yangyang took her sister to the old lady and said to her, "Grandma, thank you for your kindness."
The old woman saw that it was you two, and a smile appeared on her old face, "It's you two, you're welcome."
Yangyang said to the old woman, "Grandma, we are not begging. Where is your home? Let us take you back!"
It's really worrying to see the old lady like this. She's too old and looks like she's going to fall down at any time when she walks.
The old woman smiled and refused, "No, I can go back by myself. I won't bother you."
Meng Meng asked curiously, "Grandma, where are your family members? You are so old, why do you still come out to set up a stall?"
The smile on the old woman's face faded, and nostalgia appeared in her eyes, "놖's family is all gone."
Mengmeng was surprised! Afterwards, feeling a little embarrassed and afraid of upsetting the old man, Mengmeng shut up and didn't mention it again.
The old man expressed his desire to talk to the two children and said, "You are the only one left in our family. It's really helpless. Those who don't want to die will always die for one reason or another, while people like you who feel that life has no meaning and want to die will not die."
As she spoke, a look of helplessness appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face.
Yang Yang hurriedly comforted her: "Grandma, it's always good to be alive, don't think like that."
The old woman smiled slightly, her tone a little weak, "It's meaningless to live alone. If I die one day, maybe I can see my relatives in the afterlife."
The three of them were talking as they walked.
The old woman went to sell something every day. She didn't care whether she could make money or not. She didn't care if she had no money and went hungry occasionally. She lived like this for many years.
The two boys felt the old woman's loneliness and couldn't help but feel sympathy. When they passed by the restaurant that Mengmeng liked to eat, Mengmeng suddenly said, "Brother, please treat the old lady to a meal!"
Yangyang nodded, and the two invited the old lady to come in for dinner. The old lady refused, but Mengmeng and Yangyang insisted and pulled her in. Then they ordered a large table of delicious dishes, paid the money, and warmly invited the old lady to eat.
The old man had never eaten such delicious food in his life. As a farmer, he only ate those dishes every day and rarely ate meat on weekdays.
Seeing that the old lady liked the food, the two boys were very happy and felt they had done a good thing.
There was a large table full of dishes, and the old lady didn’t know what the dishes were or what they were called, but she was eating very happily with a smile on her face.
Soon, the food on the table was gone and the three of them were very full.
After the meal, the old woman looked much better. She said to the two children with gratitude: "Thank you. I have lived a lifetime, and only today did I know that there are such delicious meals in this world. After tasting this taste, I am satisfied."
The two boys felt sorry for the old lady after hearing this. They wanted to send her back, but the old lady said, "It's fine here. Thank you for today. I'm very happy. Go and do your own things!"
The old woman insisted on not being seen off by her two sons, and finally left alone.
After the old woman returned home, she tidied up her shabby little home, finally found a set of clean clothes to change into, and lay quietly on the bed.
In a trance, she seemed to see her own son. The old woman gradually closed her eyes, and the calling voice in her ears became more obvious.
"Mom? Mom, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman opened her eyes again and looked at her son floating in the air. He was missing a leg. He looked at her with tears in his eyes and shouted anxiously, "Mom, why...why are you here?"
Seeing her son, the old woman was very happy, and ran towards him quickly, but she felt very light at this moment, and when she looked down, she found that she was floating. She was puzzled, and then she thought about something, and looked back, and it was her lying on the bed.
The old woman immediately understood that she was dead.
That’s great. I can really see my son after I die.
She showed a happy smile on her face and floated towards her son, "Tie Sheng, mother finally sees you again, it's great."
Tiesheng's face was covered with tears and he cried uncomfortably.
"Mother, I am useless. I was unable to take care of you until the end of your life. You died alone in such a miserable way. I am an unfilial son!"
Tiesheng knelt down crying and kowtowed to his mother repeatedly.
The old woman didn't care. As long as she could see her son, she would be happy.
The mother and son reminisced about the past at home. Finally, the old woman said, "Son, after a person dies, will they always stay in their own home? You have been gone for so many years, why are you still in our home?"
Tie Sheng sighed and said, "Mom, after death, people can be reincarnated, but I can't be reincarnated. I am a lonely ghost. I don't know why I can't be reincarnated. I have been in our house all the time. I can't go too far and can only wander around here."
The old woman didn't know what to do when she heard this. "So are you and your son going to stay here forever?"
Tie Sheng didn't know and just kept silent.
"Mom, it's good for us to stay here. I'm very happy to see you again. You have suffered alone all these years, and I have seen it all."
The old woman comforted her son, saying that she was fine. As they were talking, a cold wind suddenly blew from the outside, blowing open all the windows in the house.
The mother and son floated out, and for the first time the old woman saw many ghosts running around.
She was a little scared, and Tiesheng hurriedly supported her, grabbed a ghost and asked, "Why are you running? Why are you so panicked?"
The ghost who was being held was only half of his body. Hearing this, he said hurriedly, "You are a ghost catcher, very powerful. The ones who are caught will be scared to death. Oh, don't hold me, you have to run quickly."
The old woman was very surprised!
"Are you still a ghost catcher? Aren't people afraid of ghosts?"
The old woman's tone was full of doubt.
Tie Sheng didn't know. Although he had been a ghost for many years, he had never gone out and his activities were all around his home, so he knew nothing.
But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about these things, and hurriedly ran away pulling his mother.
"Mom, no matter what it is, let's just run with it! We haven't been reincarnated yet, so we can't let our souls fly away."
The mother and son ran away, leaving many ghosts behind them.
At this time, behind them, a man in a white Taoist robe was holding a small tower made of copper coins and red thread. With a calm face, he was leaping and chasing the fleeing ghosts.
As the man muttered words, bursts of light emanated from the small tower, instantly sucking in the ghosts that were closer.
Seeing this, the other ghosts became even more frightened and fled for their lives.
The streets were deserted at night. Those hooligans did not dare to stay on the street and all fled into other people's homes, thinking that the man would not come in.
Mengmeng and Yangyang in the inn didn't want to go to bed yet. They were worried about being alone, so the two siblings slept in the same room.
The two were sleeping soundly when suddenly all the windows were opened, and countless cold winds whistled in. A peculiar smell came in, and the two kids woke up immediately.
When they opened their eyes, what they saw were numerous ghosts in the house, in the air, on the tables, on the stools, and on the walls.
