The game starts with being chased by ghosts and live fortune telling for free

Mei Ling'er stared at the screen of her mobile phone. After getting the exact answer from the white-bearded old man, she immediately made a request for a live broadcast connection.

After the video was connected, Haoxiang's mother and two elderly people appeared on the other side of the screen. They were Haoxiang's grandparents.

The two elderly people didn't know Mei Ling'er, but when they heard their daughter-in-law say that she could help find their grandson, they immediately knelt down in front of the camera, clasped their hands together and raised them above their heads, praying:

"Please, save my grandson. I'm willing to exchange the rest of my life for his. No matter what spell you cast, his grandmother and I will cooperate with you."

Mei Ling'er: "Don't worry, I just want to help you find Haoxiang. I don't care about my life span."

[Great! It's Master Ling! Hao Xiang is saved!]

The elderly may have thought that the spirit master wanted to receive payment, but they had no money or power, and their most precious thing was their life, so they wanted to exchange their life for another's.

[Wow… I'm so touched. It reminds me of my grandparents who left expired food for me.]

……

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this, they all started posting comments.

Mei Linger: "Has Haoxiang done anything strange recently?"

Haoxiang's mother helped his parents-in-law up and placed them on wooden chairs.

When Grandma Haoxiang heard Mei Ling'er's words, the wrinkles on her forehead squeezed together and her eyeballs rolled around in her sockets several times, like an indecisive chess player on the chessboard, who never made a move.

Haoxiang's grandfather spoke first, "Haoxiang is a very well-behaved child. He never worries me and his grandmother. He comes home on time after school every day, just in time for our six o'clock dinner. He never plays outside."

"Dinner at six?" Haoxiang's mother looked puzzled. "The school is at the entrance of the village, only ten minutes' walk away. School ends at five, and Haoxiang doesn't get home until six every day. So what does he do in between?"

The two old men were completely dumbfounded. They looked at each other and couldn't explain what was going on.

Haoxiang's mother looked at her parents-in-law who were confused and knew that she would not get anything out of them if she asked any more questions, so she immediately decided to look for clues on the way her son went to and from school.

The two elderly people hadn't slept a wink for a whole day and night. Haoxiang's mother asked them to stay at home and wait for news.

"Haoxiang might come back on his own. What if no one is home then?" The woman made an excuse. "You guys wait at home. If he comes home, remember to call me."

"Number 701, when can I get out?" Hao Xiang stuck his head out of the wooden barrel. "Grandpa and grandma won't be able to find me. They'll definitely be worried. They might even call my mom. I don't want them to worry."

The little boy, wearing a red vest with the number "701" printed on it, was breaking a steamed bun. He handed half of it to Zheng Haoxiang and said, "Eat something first. I'll find a way to get you home."

"I wouldn't have sneaked in here earlier." Hao Xiang chewed his steamed bun and said incoherently, "Chinese New Year is coming soon. My parents will come back with lots of gifts, both delicious and fun."

"Mom and Dad will definitely agree to my request and come to see you with gifts."

Number 701 smiled shyly, "Thank you."

With a click, the iron door was pushed inward. The person said in a cold tone, "701, get ready. It will be your turn to go to the amusement park in an hour."

Number 701 hurriedly stood up, blocked Zheng Haoxiang's outstretched head, raised his hand and replied, "Yes, teacher."

With a clang, the iron door was ruthlessly closed.

"Are you going to the amusement park this afternoon?" Zheng Haoxiang's eyes were full of envy. "Can you take me with you?"

"Don't you want to go home?" Number 701 lowered his head and reached out to push Zheng Haoxiang's shoulders back into the barrel. "Just stay here and I'll find a chance to take you with me."

Zheng Haoxiang was very happy. He had known this new friend for less than half a year. The other party's house was very big, and probably to prevent thieves, the yard was surrounded by wire mesh.

There was a forest outside the wire fence. This summer, while picking mushrooms, he stumbled upon No. 701 playing inside the fence.

Not only is his family rich enough to build a house as big as a castle, they even name their children in such cool ways.

Thinking that they would be able to go to the amusement park soon, Zheng Haoxiang put the thought of going home out of his mind.

"Master Ling, you said before that Haoxiang might be in danger. Is he okay now?"

"Don't worry." Mei Ling'er said gently, "He is safe now."

"Your judgment is correct. Haoxiang doesn't go home after school every night. He must have secretly run away somewhere."

"Yes." Haoxiang's mother walked too fast, and white smoke came out of her mouth and nose. The woman sniffed, "Master Ling, look, this is the way from our house to school."

There was a long cement road with rows of lights on both sides. Haoxiang's mother stood alone in the middle of the road, her back looking very thin.

Mei Ling'er: "Turn the camera a little to the left."

The woman panicked and swayed from side to side. Just when she was at a loss, Mei Ling'er said firmly, "Go to the mountains."

"In the mountains..." Haoxiang's mother looked into the distance. The endless mountain ranges were hidden in the clouds. The sky was gray. She couldn't help but shudder and asked tentatively:

"Master Ling," the woman had always felt a sense of familiarity with the mountains since she was a child, but at this moment she only felt fear. The bottomless depths of the forest seemed to be about to swallow her up.

"Haoxiang..." she murmured, "He is still waiting for me."

The woman took a decisive step forward.

Mei Linger glanced at Bingbing and said, "Don't you think you're too idle with nothing to do? Do you want to go over and help?"

meow~

The white cat wagged its tail, put its chubby paws into its mouth, and blinked its big round eyes, it was so adorable.

Mei Ling'er straightened her back and made a gesture. A hurricane-shaped portal fell from the sky. The white cat jumped and landed at the feet of Haoxiang's mother the next second.

meow~

The woman looked down and saw a white cat with heterochromia following beside her. A living creature appeared beside her, dispelling some of her fear. The woman muttered to herself:

"Haoxiang has always wanted a cat, but I didn't agree to buy him one. Did he feed you secretly?"

meow~

Haoxiang's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She squatted down, put her right hand on the white cat's back, passed her left hand through the white cat's abdomen, and carefully picked it up.

"We will find him."

The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, dotted across the fields. Two villagers are gathering firewood on the hillside not far away. They were originally heading deeper into the forest. One of them looks back thoughtfully, pokes the other's shoulder with his hand, and after communicating for a few words, walks towards Haoxiang's mother.
