The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

I happened to meet Aunt Zhang, who said that she came back to take care of her parents anyway, and it didn't matter whether she took care of them alone or with two people, so she might as well help out.

Aunt Zhang didn't want money, but Fan Yao gave her money anyway, so Aunt Zhang became the nominal nanny, cleaning the house, doing laundry and cooking, and still going home to stay at night.

The last time Fan Yao fainted, grandma went to see Fan Yao, and Aunt Zhang accompanied her.

"Aunt Zhang." Fan Yao went next door and greeted her.

A middle-aged woman came out to answer.

"Yaoyao, why are you back?" The woman looked kind and smiled sincerely.

"I came back to see grandma. I have something to trouble you with." Fan Yao replied with a smile.

"What's the matter, Yaoyao?" Aunt Zhang wiped the water off her hands and walked back.

"It's not a big deal. This is my friend, Shu Wanwan. She heard from her grandmother that there used to be a man named Shu Bo in the village. She thought he might be a relative, so she wanted to go and see him."

Fan Yao explained the general situation and Aunt Zhang roughly understood it.

Shu Wanwan went forward and greeted Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, grandma said you know where that person lives. Can you take us to see him?"

"That person seems to have disappeared a long time ago, quite a few years ago. If you go there now, he should not be there anymore." Aunt Zhang asked back.

"Let's go and see if there is anything left so that we can confirm the identity." Fan Yao replied.

"That's it. Let's go. Auntie will lead the way for you." When Aunt Zhang heard this, she thought that the person had died and she wanted to go and see him to keep some memories, so she didn't ask any more questions.

On the way, Aunt Zhang talked to the two of them about Shu Bo again.

No one knew when Shu Bo appeared in the village, nor when the yard was built.

At that time, everyone's family was poor and the houses were not built that well, so Shu Bo's house did not stand out.

After a while, a few people arrived. As expected, looking at it now, the house is already dilapidated. Compared with other small buildings in the village, it feels like it is not from the same era.

Shu Wanwan walked forward and entered the house.

The hut was dilapidated and empty.

Fan Yao looked at her phone and knew that Jiang Jingchen and the others had returned, so she had an excuse to send Aunt Zhang away.

"Aunt Zhang, why don't you go back first? I have some friends coming over, can you help me entertain them?"

Aunt Zhang glanced into the room and then looked at Fan Yao. She knew what Fan Yao meant and didn't bother to argue.

"You two should come back soon. This place is remote and there are no lights at night. It's not safe."

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I'll be back soon."

After hearing Fan Yao's response, Aunt Zhang nodded and left.

After Aunt Zhang left, Fan Yao entered the house and saw Shu Wanwan squatting on the ground, wondering what she was thinking about.

Fan Yao looked around. There was nothing in this dilapidated house. Fan Yao was not sure how Shu Wanwan could tell whether this person was the one she was looking for.

Fan Yao asked, "Is this the person you are looking for?"

Shu Wanwan nodded slightly, her expression solemn, "Yes."

The moment Shu Wanwan saw the yard, she was sure it was Old Man Shu and this place.

Because the layout of the outside of the courtyard, except that the house was made of bricks, tiles and earth, everything else was exactly the same as her and Old Man Shu's previous home.

But there was nothing in the house.

Shu Wanwan squatted on the ground for a long time, and Fan Yao stayed by her side.

Shu Wanwan didn't shed tears. Perhaps she had already shed those tears in her dreams, or perhaps she couldn't cry out when she was really sad.

After a long time, Shu Wanwan sighed and stood up, "Let's go, let's go back."

Fan Yao also stood up with Shu Wanwan and looked at Shu Wanwan. Shu Wanwan's reaction was much calmer than she expected.

Fan Yao said slowly, "Won't you stay a while longer?"

"No, I've already said goodbye." Shu Wanwan patted the dirt off her hands, then gave Fan Yao a smile that was uglier than crying.

Seeing Shu Wanwan like this, Fan Yao knew that she was not well, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to follow Shu Wanwan back.

Along the way, Fan Yao chattered about the embarrassing things that happened in her childhood, and with the dirt road under her feet, it really seemed like that.

Shu Wanwan was in a daze from time to time, and occasionally smiled to match Fan Yao.

The two of them walked quickly back to Fan Yao's grandmother's house.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Gu Yanchuan standing there looking around.

Seeing them come back, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally you're back. I was so worried."

Fan Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's broad daylight, what could happen?"

When they walked into the house, grandma was sitting on a chair knitting a sweater. When she saw them, she quickly put down her work, took Shu Wanwan's hand and asked her about her life.

Shu Wanwan tried hard to force a smile in response.

Soon the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Bai Xuan's food must be top quality.

Aunt Zhang brought out the dishes with a smile.

Several people had a happy meal.

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted.

Shu Wanwan seemed to be in a better mood.

Fan Yao began to talk about some little things she remembered about her grandmother.

Everyone listened quietly, occasionally chuckling or sighing.

It gets dark quickly.

At night, Shu Wanwan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, as memories of the past flooded back like a tide.

The next morning, Shu Wanwan found Fan Yao and said she wanted to go to that house again.

Fan Yao accompanied her without saying a word.

Coming to the dilapidated house again, Shu Wanwan took a deep breath and walked in.

This time, Shu Wanwan took two steps and suddenly she found that the soil under her feet was a little different.

Shu Wanwan squatted down again, tore off two little figures with the talisman paper, and started digging under her feet.

Sure enough, there was a box on the ground under her feet, and inside the box was a letter. The handwriting on the letter was a little blurry, but it could be seen that it was left for her.

After reading the letter, Shu Wanwan burst into tears. Old Man Shu had always been thinking about her.

At this moment, all the longing and regret turned into tears.

Fan Yao hugged her gently and let her vent her emotions.

Shu Wanwan knew that although Old Man Shu had really passed away, the memory would remain forever.

There seemed to be spiritual energy in the box. Shu Wanwan let the spiritual energy invade her. Perhaps this was the last thing that old man Shu left for her.

Sometimes you will be sad if you can’t find it, but you may also be sad if you find it.

It was just noon when Fan Yao and Shu Wanwan went back.

After returning to Fan Yao's grandmother's house, Shu Wanwan's eyes showed a bit more relief.

Although everyone was curious, they didn't ask too many questions.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, so everyone decided to take a walk on the hillside behind the village.

As we walked, we came across a small frozen lake.

Gu Yanchuan was so childish that he ran onto the ice and ended up falling on his back.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed half the sky red.

After saying goodbye to grandma, everyone decided to take the bus back.

Bai Xuan found a deserted place, transformed into a human form, and stretched his body.

Bai Xuan stretched and said, "I want to take a bus too. I haven't taken one yet."

After getting on the bus, the car slowly drove away from the village. Shu Wanwan looked at the village gradually disappearing into the distance through the window.
