Lord Chu's Wife is Wild

Chapter 157: Two Little Ghosts

“Left? What should we do?”

Yun Ting, who followed behind them, asked hurriedly.

Lu Sheng said softly, “There’s no hurry. Let’s continue searching. If we can’t find him, I’ll think of another way.”

Upon hearing her words, the trio’s anxious hearts immediately calmed down.

“Hehe —”

Lu Sheng was about to continue walking when she heard laughter.

She stopped and turned back. She saw two children playing in the water by the shore.

She knew these two children. No, the owner knew them.

They were children from the village. They drowned here three years ago and died because they could not be saved in time. They were only eight years old when they died.

“Sister Sheng, let’s play together!”

The two children smiled and waved at her.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “I still have some matters to attend to and can’t accompany you. Go and play by yourself.”

When Chu Sihan and Yun Ting heard this, they followed her gaze and saw nothing but darkness.

Shi Yi’s scalp turned numb. He shuddered and hurried to hide behind Chu Sihan and Yun Ting.

Lu Sheng walked over, squatted down, and asked of the ghosts, “Nian Ba, a great general died here before. Have you seen him?”

Nian Ba tilted his head to look at her and asked, “Sister Sheng, are you referring to the silly man in an armor?”

“Yes.”

If he was wearing armor, he should be General Ji.

Another ghost said, “He went up the mountain just now and said he wanted to go home. If Sister Sheng wants to find him, you can come back later. He’s like this everyday.”

“Really?”

Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. She was not afraid of getting dirty, so she sat down beside the two little ghosts.

She turned her head and said to the three men who were holding the lamp and looking at her either calmly or fearfully, “There are two children here. They said that General Ji’s soul has gone up the mountain and will be back soon. We can wait here.”

Chu Sihan and Yun Ting nodded slightly. Shi Yi stood trembling behind them.

Seemingly afraid that something would happen later, he quickly turned back and patted his back. Then, he forced himself to stand between Chu Sihan and Yun Ting.

The duo glanced at him expressionlessly and did not say anything.

Lu Sheng thought it was hilarious.

She turned back to look at the two little ghosts and asked, “Why are you still here? Aren’t you going home?”

“I can’t go back.”

Nian Ba said blankly, “No one has called us home yet.”

The other ghost was called Yang Xiaoguo. He was Nian Ba’s cousin.

When the weather was hot, the duo secretly came here to take a bath. However, Nian Ba’s foot slipped and he accidentally slipped into the depths. To save him, Yang Xiaoguo also slipped in.

The both of them did not know how to swim. When someone found them, it was already too late.

Lu Sheng patted their heads and consoled them in a low voice. “Sister will bring you home later.”

Actually, many people did not know that souls had to be summoned for people who died by accident. If their souls were not summoned, they would stay at the original spot.

Of course, some ghosts knew how to return home.

There were also some who wanted to go home but encountered road-blocking ghosts and thus, could only stay behind.

Some of the road-blocking ghosts had died for many years. They were very arrogant and would bully the new ghosts. They would even order them around as if they were their slaves.

For example, they could send them to pester others and make them fall sick or visit their dreams so that they could provide them with food, water, and shelter.

Nian Ba’s eyes brightened. “Sister Sheng, can you really bring us home?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Of course. I’ll send you back later.”

Just when the two ghosts were cheering, a black figure suddenly walked over casually from afar.
