The next day, the intruder did not arrive, but the second task accepted by the system arrived at midnight.

Shanzhu is a little boy from the ghost world, about five or six years old, and judging by his clothes, he is from the Republic of China period.

The little boy is fair and clean, with a pair of big, twinkling eyes. If it weren't for his pale, ghostly face, he would really be a cute child that people would want to rub.

Lin Yin: "Little friend, do you have any requests?"

The little boy waved his arms and babbled eagerly but hoarsely.

Lin Yin didn't understand for a moment and looked at the little boy in confusion.

Seeing that Lin Yin didn't understand, the little boy lowered his head, rubbed the corner of his clothes with his hands, and looked a little helpless.

At this time, the system sound sounded.

[System: Honey, he's deaf-mute, so I'm the only one who can relay the message.]

Lin Yin was a little shocked. She thought that ghosts were not bound by the flesh. Even if they were deaf and dumb in life, they would be able to speak after becoming a ghost.

[System: Yes, that's generally the case, but this little boy has a problem.]

It turns out that the little boy couldn't speak because he was poisoned and made mute by his stepmother when he was very young.

When the little boy was born, his biological mother died of complications during childbirth, and his father married a new wife a year later.

His father was an officer and was very busy on weekdays. He often did not come home. Even if he did, he would leave within two days. Therefore, all the big and small matters in the family were actually decided by his stepmother.

This stepmother treated him well and loved him very much on the surface, but in fact she beat and scolded him behind his back and even viciously pricked him with a needle.

The little boy didn't understand why. He just thought that he had done something wrong and made her unhappy, so he tried to please her even more.

However, his stepmother hated him even more and beat and scolded him even more severely.

At first she beat and scolded him, but she didn't dare to do it in front of the servants.

Later, after she showed the servants how powerful she was, even when she beat the young master in front of them, they dared not say anything and remained silent.

No one dared to disobey her or tell the officers secretly.

Because the body of the servant who reported the incident to the military officer was fished out of the pond in the mansion a few days later.

Even though the servants had felt sorry for the young master being beaten and scolded before, they no longer dared to show any sympathy for him after this.

The stepmother was very proud and became more and more aggressive.

The little boy finally understood that it was not that he did something wrong, but that his stepmother did not like him.

He stopped trying to please her and endured the abuse silently.

When the little boy was learning to speak, his stepmother was worried that he would tell on others, so she sent someone to poison him and make him mute.

When the little boy was learning to write, his stepmother was worried that he would write and tell on the authorities, so she sent someone to pretend to kidnap him and cut the tendons in his hands so that he could no longer write.

The stepmother even bribed the family doctor to help deceive the officer.

The officer never suspected that the woman sleeping next to him had such vicious thoughts.

Because his subordinates told him that the people sent to spy on the mansion reported that everything was normal in the mansion and the lady was well-behaved. The accident involving the young master was an accident and it was because he had made enemies outside that implicated the young master.

The officer felt very guilty and loved the little boy even more.

The stepmother saw this and was worried that the little boy would snatch the inheritance rights from her own child, so she knew that some plans had to be brought forward...

One month after the little boy turned 6, his stepmother said she would take him to a temple to pray for him. On the way, she stripped off his clothes and threw him in the wilderness, where he froze to death.

The little boy was still thinking that his father would come to save him until his death.

However, he never got to see his father for the last time...

He waited and waited in the ghost world, but only his stepmother's descendants showed up, but his father was nowhere to be seen.

He later found out that because of her many evil deeds, her stepmother had been sentenced to hell.

His father, a military officer with great military achievements, visited many masters everywhere to find the boy's whereabouts because of his disappearance. He finally found the boy's body.

The officer learned the whole truth and was in great pain. He wanted to find the woman who killed his son and settle the score, but he found that the woman was having an affair with his trusted subordinate...

Seeing that their affair was discovered, the confidant decided to go all out and kill the officer.

The officer died with his eyes open.

His confidant took the opportunity to replace him and took his property for himself. The little boy's stepmother also remarried smoothly.

However, they were guilty and often woke up from nightmares. They were afraid that the officer would turn into a ghost to take revenge on them, so they found a Nanyang master who made money by dishonest means, and the master sealed the officer's soul so that he would never be reborn.

Why can't the little boy wait for his father in the ghost world? The truth is...

However, what the stepmother and her friends didn't expect was that although they did all kinds of bad things while alive and thought no one could do anything to them, hell was waiting for them after they died.

Lin Yin sighed inwardly, thinking that greed is the root of all evil. It was just a pity for the little boy who had to suffer so much.

However, even so, the little boy's heart is still pure, because there is no hatred or anger in his eyes, only longing for his father.

Lin Yin couldn't help but feel a little more pity for the little boy.

The little boy was looking at Lin Yin anxiously, waiting for her reply.

His request was simple: he hoped to see his father again.

Because in his memory at this moment, his father's appearance has become a little vague.

He was very scared... scared that after a while, he would not remember what his father looked like.

The little boy took out the pocket watch around his neck. Inside the pocket watch was a photo of his father holding him while riding on a horse.

Because it is a distant photo and is in black and white, the facial features can only be seen roughly.

Fortunately, Lin Yin's system had high-tech features for checking portraits, so Lin Yin assured the little boy, "Don't worry, little boy. Auntie won't let you forget your father."

The little boy's eyes immediately lit up, as if they were filled with stars.

This time, without the system translation, Lin Yin understood what the little boy meant.

"Yes, it's true. Auntie won't lie to you." Lin Yin squatted down and reached out to touch the little boy's head. "Go back and wait. Come back the day after tomorrow at midnight."

The little boy skipped away with excitement in his heart. He was so happy that he could finally see his father again!

This aunt looks like a good person and should not lie to him!

Lin Yin looked at the little boy's back and felt a little sad.

She herself didn't realize that her state of mind had changed without her knowing it.

The next day, Lin Yin got up early in the morning, washed up and had breakfast, and then started to work on the first floor.

While she was concentrating on making paper figures, someone walked into the shop.
