"It's good that you've seen it. Quickly tell me what you saw at that time?" I asked eagerly, full of desire to know the truth of the insider.
Originally, I used to think it didn't matter whether I knew or not, as long as I had a mother and a child, everything was enough. But after experiencing so many terrifying and dangerous things, I no longer think so. I now want to know the whole truth of the matter, to be prepared for unknown dangers.
"The boss, you really don't know, back then it was quite a dramatic and intense show. The scene, the lineup, truly spectacular and tumultuous. Well, in short, it was such a grand spectacle that my head is a bit muddled now. I need to sort it out. Um, first let me think about how many love triangles turned into a bloodbath, one, two, three... Oh, forget it, too many, I'm not good at math, really can't count them all."
One-legged ghost was clearly overwhelmed by the memories, his consciousness sea all in disarray. There are too many images, not sure where to start. He looks pained, holding his head, and squatting on the ground, gasping for air with one leg.
"Wow! Is it really that chaotic? My memory from five years ago is quite interesting then. Little Night, when did you start working as a grudgeful ghost in this hospital?" I asked, looking at Little Night who seemed lost in thought. Judging by his serious expression, he must know about my situation.
Sure enough, after hearing my question, Little Night replied, "Master, I've been here for quite a long time, it seems like it's been over ten or twenty years. And this isn't my original appearance either. I was afraid that my enemies would destroy my soul, so I asked a powerful grudgeful ghost here to share some of her ghostly energy with me, to change my aura."
I didn't expect Little Night to stay here for so long, and it seems not easy for her to survive. I immediately asked with a sympathetic face, "So, Little Night, you must have paid a price, otherwise how could the grudgeful ghost give you ghostly aura for no reason?"
"Sigh! It's shameful to say, I betrayed my feelings. It was a female ghost. When I just died, she was attracted to my handsome ghostly appearance at first sight. I can say that if she hadn't desperately protected me and dragged my newly dead soul away, I would have been dispersed by the talisman long ago. The doctors here only kill people and don't care about souls, but I didn't know how much someone hated me at the time, actually wanting to scatter my soul. How great the grudge and resentment must be." Little Night said with a face full of sorrow.
Little Night Don't be sad. In the future, I will definitely help you find the mastermind behind the scenes and help you seek revenge. I comforted Little Night and then, seeing Little Night still looking sad, I immediately joked, "By the way, is that female ghost you mentioned among this group of grudgeful ghosts? I really want to see who she is and how she could be so taken with your not-so-handsome face!"
"Master, are you mocking this ugly face of mine? I don't want this either. In order to stay and seek revenge, I had to sacrifice my once proud appearance and transform into this look," Little Night said with a touch of sadness as he touched his stubbly face, speaking helplessly.
"Oops! Little Night, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just trying to make a joke, please don't be upset." Seeing this, I hurriedly tried to comfort her again, while looking towards the grudgeful ghost group, wanting to see which female grudgeful ghost was helping Little Night. I was really curious.
"Master, don't look, that female ghost found out today when we avenged our grudge, that you deceived her feelings. Heartbroken, she left here. I think she must have gone to Underworld for reincarnation. She said before that if you didn't appear, her wish was to seek revenge and then go into reincarnation, forgetting everything in this life. Sigh, there's no way. You have found your true love in this life, and it's impossible to hold space for anyone else in your heart. I can only disappoint her. I hope she really went into reincarnation." Little Night said the last part with some uncertainty, and with a face full of guilt and unease.
Seeing this, I felt even more sympathetic towards Little Night, but at the same time, I also wanted to see the true appearance of Little Night. I wondered if it was the female ghost's judgment that was flawed, or if Little Night was really handsome and attractive to women. So I tentatively asked, " Little Night, can you change back to your original appearance and let me see? I promise that no one can harm you now. Besides, you are all free now, you can come and go on your own. Even if someone wants to harm you, and you can't fight back, you can still run away, right?"
Little Night thought about it and said, "Alright, since I have acknowledged you as my master, I should let you see my true face!" After saying this, Little Night turned around, seemingly wanting to surprise me, but I didn't think so. I just hoped not to be frightened.
I didn't expect to guess it right. It's really like hitting the nail on the head. It's truly shocking. Of course, it's not that Little Night looks so ugly and terrifying with his sharp teeth, but it's shocking that his appearance is exactly the same as Shen Chenru. How could I not be shocked? Not only shocked, but completely petrified.
After a while, I pointed at Little Night and stammered, "L-Little Night, d-didn't you realize that you look very similar to the man who just came looking for me?"
"En, it's very similar. I also find it very strange. Could he be my illegitimate child," Little Night said half-jokingly and half-seriously. Then he thought for a moment and said, "And that little girl named Shen Ru looks very similar to one of my love rivals. And you, my master, also bear some resemblance to my wife. If you don't look closely, you wouldn't notice, but I'm so familiar with her that I noticed a clue. Could it be that you are my wife's illegitimate daughter? Haha... If that's the case, you should call me Daddy, haha..." After nodding, Little Night threw out a string of shocking news that left me stunned, and then he joked, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
"Little Night, stop kidding. Are you happy if your wife has an illegitimate daughter? You should know that would mean you've been cuckolded!" I said speechlessly to Little Night who couldn't stop laughing.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the person the old man loves the most is her. Let her do whatever she wants with the green hat. If she wants to wear a few, then let her wear a few." Little Night held back his laughter and casually said, not caring at all.
It seems that he really doesn't care about his wife's affair, which is beyond my expectations. Where in the world can you find a husband who doesn't care if his wife gives him a green hat? This Little Night is really unique.
"Little Night, you haven't been trapped here for over 20 years and gone crazy, have you?" I shook my head speechlessly once again, and at this moment, I firmly believed that Little Night must have been trapped here for too long and had some distortion in his heart.
"Master, no, really not. As Master said before, Master only loves one person in this life. As for other women, they have nothing to do with Master. So, what does it matter if Master's wife puts a green hat on him? Master really doesn't care." Little Night saw me like this and immediately replied seriously.
It's also worth thinking about. Little Night already has the person he loves in his heart. As for why he couldn't be with the person he loves, it must be fate playing tricks. So even if he marries a wife, what's the use? His heart is not with his wife, so of course he won't care. Not caring means he can't let go, so he can only leave a back door for his wife to seek the basic benefits of being a woman. I'm just curious again, why couldn't Little Night marry the woman he loved at first, and instead married a woman he didn't love.
Looking at the hospital room where Little Night died, it should also be a VIP ward. Those who can afford a VIP ward should be wealthy, from prominent families. Could it be another scandal of a prominent family? For the sake of alliance, the elders of the family arranged a forced marriage, breaking up a loving couple. The rich young master's small arms couldn't beat the big legs, so in the end, he could only compromise and marry the woman he didn't love. But he couldn't let go of his true love in this life, so he had to have an underground affair with the woman he loved. This plot is really melodramatic, but regardless of whether it's melodramatic or not, such drama does exist in reality. There's no way around it. This is the life of the wealthy.
However, now is not the time to discuss these things. I checked the time and it seems I've been delayed for a while. I can't afford to waste time. What if Shen Chen gets impatient and comes up to pull me down? As for the secrets of the wealthy and powerful, let's discuss them when we have time. So I immediately turned to the main topic and said, "Alright, Little Night, I understand you. Let's talk about my matters from five years ago. Shen Chen is still waiting for me downstairs, and I don't have much time. By the way, your Ghost Brothers, if any of them know the insider, they can also speak up."
"Okay, master, let's start with the heavy rain that night. It was the biggest rainstorm I've ever seen in my life. According to the doctors and nurses at the hospital afterwards, the heavy rain caused a complete loss of crops in the surrounding villages of City T, all washed away by the flood. It also washed away many shoddy construction projects in the city, leading to the resignation of many City T officials." As Little Night spoke about that night's rain, his face became very serious, as if he had personally experienced being trapped.
But these are the things I care about. It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but things have changed, and I'm in a hurry. I really don't have time to care about other things, so I interrupted Little Night and said, "Uncle Xiaoya, let's not talk about the weather. Let's talk about the matter at hand. I really don't have much time."
Little Night has been here for more than 20 years. Although he has to acknowledge me as his master, he is really much older than me. Even if I call him uncle to win his favor, it's not a loss. So just now, I thought about it and decided to call him uncle.
"Okay, okay, let's continue. I remember, you were brought here by a Taoist descendant, and your situation was very dangerous. Not only were you in danger, but the fetus in your abdomen was also at risk of miscarriage. If it weren't for that Taoist descendant using some treasure to help you and transferring true energy to you, you might not have survived..." Uncle Xiaoya said to me in an envious tone.
This surprised me. Could it be Taoshi? Because in those photos, there were pictures of me and Taoshi together, and Taoshi is the young master of the Maoshan School, also a Taoist descendant. The treasure should be the Maoshan School's treasure, the Fanyin Seal. When I thought of this, everything made sense. So I quickly grabbed Uncle Xiaoya's sleeve and asked, "Uncle Xiaoya, pause for a moment. The Taoist descendant you just mentioned, is it a gentle and refined young man, and from the Maoshan School? And the treasure should be something like a jade seal, tied with a red string, right?"
