You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The Zhuang family's old earthen house stands alone outside the village.

There were no power lines, so getting up at night was almost always a struggle in the dark.

Only when taking care of the children did Lao Zhuang become more cautious and light candles.

Upon hearing Su Chen's voice, he trembled, wiped away his tears, and turned around, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, and his legs shifting into a lunge position.

When he saw Su Chen's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

The kindness brought by good deeds greatly reduced the old man's wariness.

But he still asked, "Who are you?"

His gaze fell on the door behind Su Chen, noticing that the bolt wasn't down. He frowned: "How did you get in?"

He deliberately lowered his voice and raised his volume, sounding full of anger.

The old ghost waved his hands repeatedly.

"Old Zhuang, please don't! Master Su is someone I invited to help Gou'er. Please be polite!"

Finding the old man motionless, his gaze fixed on Su Chen, the old ghost sighed and could only turn to Su Chen with a forced smile.

"I came from Cuicheng to catch the earth dragon."

Su Chen smiled at Lao Zhuang: "Don't be nervous. I heard from the wandering ghosts in the neighborhood that your child cries every day, which is making them very upset. They think he has lost his soul and asked me to come and take a look, so I came."

"Lost soul?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned and looked Su Chen up and down: "You, you can call back souls?"

"wrong……"

"You can see wandering ghosts and talk to them? Then..."

The old man quickly looked around, his eyes welling up with tears again: "Then take a look, is my house..."

He choked up, and his eyes darkened as if he were thinking of something.

"Your son and daughter-in-law?"

Old Ghost was startled.

"Master Su, Lao Zhuang's son and daughter-in-law have both run away. Didn't I tell you?"

Su Chen looked at him: "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Old Gui chuckled and scratched his head: "No, I went to the village to see another child those few days. You know, I can't stay with the child for too long, otherwise something might happen to the child, so... I have to take turns."

Su Chen: "..."

When Lao Zhuang saw Su Chen looking at the air and asking a question, he rubbed his eyes and looked at him carefully. Suddenly, he became a little excited.

"My son, is that you?"

Su Chen: "They are not your son and daughter-in-law."

The light in the old man's eyes gradually dimmed.

He quickly lowered his eyes, sighed silently, and then looked at Su Chen: "Has my dog ​​really lost his soul?"

Su Chen nodded.

"He was scared, wasn't he?"

Old Ghost frowned: "Scared?"

He turned to look at Lao Zhuang, then touched his own face.

Was it because of Laozi and Zhuangzi, or because of his own ugliness, that he was frightened?

Can't you?

I've teased the dog before, and he didn't lose his mind.

Didn't Lao Zhuang hug and kiss you before?

When his gaze fell on Lao Zhuang, Lao Gui noticed that the old man was keeping his head down and not saying a word.

Case solved.

It's definitely that old man's fault.

Just as Old Ghost pursed his lips, he heard Su Chen ask, "Why didn't you call the police?"

Call the police?

Why call the police?

Old Ghost was puzzled.

Old Zhuang trembled, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with tears: "I...I dare not~"

"They warned me that if I dared to go, they would kill Gou'er. I... my son is gone, Gou'er is my life!"

Old Ghost asked blankly, "Wait, Lao Zhuang, didn't you say your son ran away from home? How come he's gone?"

He finally realized that he had been deceived.

But seeing Lao Zhuang's tearful appearance, he couldn't blame him. Then, thinking about how he hadn't even dared to hold a funeral for his son when he died, he sighed again.

After a moment's thought, Old Ghost asked, "Could it be that those beasts did it before?"

Su Chen didn't answer him, but walked to the bedside.

The baby on the bed had a dry throat from crying for so long, and his voice was much softer.

Sensing Su Chen's approach, she subconsciously gathered her strength to cry again, but her voice trailed off, followed by two sobs.

Su Chen placed his hand on the little guy's brow, and after injecting his power, the little guy quickly pursed his lips and sucked.

Old Zhuang stepped forward, looking somewhat nervous upon seeing this: "Young man, it's my dog..."

"Wait a moment~"

Su Chen withdrew his fingers, made a few hand seals, and soon several yellow-green threads emerged from the room.

Old Ghost paused for a moment, then floated over as well.

"Is this enough?"

"Achoo!" Old Zhuang sneezed, quickly turned around to wipe his mouth and nose, and looked at Su Chen again. He saw Su Chen's hand on the dog's belly, slowly rubbing it.

"The child is still young, don't feed him random things now. I have some formula here..."

Su Chen flipped his hand, and all the milk powder he had brought for Xiao Ayun fell onto the bed.

"After three or four months, you can start feeding him other things, but they should be easily digestible."

"Also, when you have time, massage the child's tummy."

Lao Zhuang paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the yellowish-green threads return, with weak souls still bound to them, Su Chen guided them into the child's body.

The little baby's eyes, which had been rather dull, quickly lit up, and the way he sucked his little mouth became more agile.

Old Ghost happily spun around twice, and Old Zhuang sneezed again, looking closely at his grandson: "Young man, my dog..."

"Yes, the soul has returned."

"Good, good, that's great." Old Zhuang rubbed his hands together, then quickly turned away to wipe his tears.

Old Ghost was somewhat disgusted.

"Old Zhuang is so old, yet he acts like a woman."

Su Chen waited quietly for Lao Zhuang to calm down before continuing to ask, "Where did you bury your son and daughter-in-law's bodies?"

Old Ghost was stunned, looking at Old Zhuang in disbelief.

Old Zhuang took a few deep breaths, gave Su Chen a sheepish smile, and then slowly bowed.

He didn't get up for a long time.

Su Chen understood what he meant.

I don't want him to get involved.

Old Gui was so anxious that he paced around Old Zhuang for a while.

“You old man, clear your head. Master Su asked him himself, so he can handle this matter.”

"Don't you want to avenge your son and daughter-in-law?"

"Don't want to live in fear for your dog's safety in the future?"

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Laozi and Zhuangzi wouldn't listen to a word he said.

Old Ghost was tired and looked at Su Chen for help.

Su Chen shook his head slightly.

He got up and helped Lao Zhuang up.

"Since you're unwilling, I won't ask anymore."

"See you again when we are destined."

Lao Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then everything went blurry before his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, Su Chen was nowhere to be seen.

He rubbed his eyes and quickly turned to look at the bed.

Those bags of milk powder are still there.

It's not a dream.

Then he quickly played with his grandson.

The little baby giggled.

Old Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.

But soon, his old eyes began to sting again.

After sniffing, Lao Zhuang tidied up the milk powder, took out one packet, opened it, smelled it, boiled a small bowl of it in water, and drank it himself.

After waiting for a long time and finding no signs of discomfort, he felt relieved and cooked a bowl for his grandson, feeding him little by little.

After seeing Su Chen off, Lao Gui returned and witnessed this scene. He wished he could go up and crack open Lao Zhuang's head to see what was inside.

But seeing how carefully Lao Zhuang was feeding his grandson, I still couldn't bear it.

"Forget it, I'm not going to care anymore."

"I'm only interested in watching the dogs."

Su Chen returned carrying two large baskets and saw that the kitchen light was still on, with rustling sounds coming from inside.

When I went over, I saw A-Liang and Zhou Fangfang squatting down and eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).

He chuckled: "Do you two think you're thieves?"
