"You're not scary at all! I'm very pretty, not scary at all!"
Ning Bao wasn't making things up. The female ghost wasn't originally ugly; it's just that her face seemed to have been peeled off while she was alive, which is why she's now a faceless female ghost.
Ningbao didn't know what she had been through, but she knew that she was filled with resentment.
Ning Bao tugged at Zhou Mingcheng's sleeve.
"Brother, put me down."
Zhou Mingcheng glanced at the female ghost, hesitated for a moment, and then bent down to put Ningbao on the ground.
As soon as Ningbao landed, she took off on her short legs and ran "thump! thump! thump!" to the female ghost...
At this moment, the female ghost was sitting on a stone chair.
Ningbao ran straight to it and climbed into the female ghost's arms in no time.
The female ghost was stunned for a moment.
"Little baby, are you a human?"
Why can you see me? And why can you touch me?
Ning Bao shook her head.
"I don't know either, but Ningbao has been able to see Guigui since she was three months old and can remember things."
"Can remember things at three months old?" The female ghost looked at Ning Bao suspiciously, thinking that this little baby probably didn't know how old three months was.
Actually, Ningbao wasn't exaggerating at all. He really did start remembering things at three months old. Whether it was talking or walking, Ningbao was much earlier than other children.
Ningbao tentatively asked the female ghost,
"Pretty lady, how long have you been here? Have you seen two people?"
The female ghost sighed softly.
"I've been here for three years. Are you here to find someone?"
Actually, I never intended to harm anyone today; I just sensed a familiar presence.
I was just thinking of going out to take a look, but I didn't expect that as soon as I dug out the cave, before I even got out myself, someone else fell in too.
But don't worry, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If I want revenge, I'll only target the person who wronged me; I won't lay a hand on anyone else.
Ningbao nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, Ningbao knows that pretty older sister is the best, she definitely won't hurt anyone."
By the way, beautiful lady, are you from Mocheng?
I'm not really from Mocheng; I only arrived yesterday and I'm completely unfamiliar with the area. Sister, do you know anything good to eat or do in Mocheng?
The female ghost shook her head, her mood also becoming much lower.
"I'm not a native of Mocheng either. I came here three years ago as a refugee. My hometown was suffering from a severe drought, so everyone went south to escape the famine."
Our village chief said that going south was too far, and that going there without food or water would be a recipe for certain death, so we decided to head north.
Unexpectedly, our gamble paid off in the end. Although we escaped the severe drought, we had no money or land in the northern desert and simply couldn't settle down.
So the people in our village came up with the idea of marrying off the girls in their families who had reached marriageable age. My mother had originally found a family for me.
But that family wasn't well-off and couldn't afford much in dowry. Just as my mother was hesitating, Aunt Zhang told her that she had found someone who could offer a high price.
That place was a brothel. By the way, my mother wasn't my biological mother; she was my father's second wife. She only cared about money and didn't care about my life or death at all.
At the time, she was only in a hurry to sell me so that her first son could get married.
So without hesitation, she followed Aunt Zhang and sold me into a brothel.
The Zhang family member who was sold was Zhang Chunjuan, who was the same age as me. Zhang Chunjuan was about the same height and build as me, except that she had a birthmark on her face.
However, Zhang Chunju was clever and learned a very magical makeup technique from a woman in the brothel.
She can not only make the birthmark on her face invisible by drawing it on, but she can also imitate other people's appearances with such skill that it is indistinguishable from a real person's skin mask.
Otherwise, Wu Lang wouldn't be unaware that the person he married wasn't me at all.
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow...
