Chapter Forty-One: Xiao Lin's Reunion with Her Brother,
d said, "It's not just loquats, all the fruit trees around here belong to Yang Fan. There are strawberries, watermelons, 楊梅 (a type of Chinese plum), lychees, oranges, apples, pears, and many others."...Yang Fan sent the two ghosts to the mountain to work, while Xiao Lin obediently sat beside her waiting for her brother to come. She would occasionally sneak a glance at Yang Fan with admiring eyes.
The master is amazing, he can even make ghosts work!
Yang Fan sat in her gaming chair, scrolling through short videos. The only sound in the quiet warehouse was the noise from her phone.
Time was passing by minute after minute, but still no ghosts appeared. Xiao Lin looked back at the full storage room of packages and finally couldn't help but ask Yang Fan, "Master, why haven't any ghosts come to pick up the packages"
Yang Fan kept brushing short videos in his hand without stopping, and he said without raising his head, "I guess he's stuck in traffic."
The actual truth is that those ghosts don't want to work.
Xiao Lin sighed and continued to wait silently. The waiting time was long and agonizing; she felt like she had been sitting there for ages, though in reality, only a few minutes had passed since she sat down.
After a few more minutes, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness in the yard. Xiao Lin saw the somewhat familiar figure and excitedly stood up, looking at it with excitement and anticipation as it walked closer.
Yang Fan raised his eyes to glance outside, then looked away and continued playing on his phone. They came rather quickly.
That figure walked to the door, and Xiao Lin could see his face clearly. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Amidst the grief was a tinge of grievance as she cried out to the ghost, "Brother..."
She finally found her brother!
At the instant Xiao Jing saw Xiaolin, he was first shocked, then ecstatic, but quickly turned worried. "Xiaolin, what are you doing here"
This is the Yellow Springs Station, those who appear here are... Could it be that his sister has also...!!
Xiao Lin cried and said, "I... I felt something had happened to you, so I kept looking for you. Later, I found a master who said she could let me see you, so I burned chocolate for you..."
"Woooooo......Brother, how could you die You said you would accompany me for my birthday this year... You broke your promise..."
From the moment she felt something was wrong with her brother to the time she found him, not only was she unsupported, but she was also blamed by her parents and her brother's colleagues for being reckless and causing delays. She was also conned out of a lot of money by those fake masters.
All those grievances and sadness overwhelmed her when she saw her brother, and she finally broke down.
Seeing his little sister cry, Xiao Jing's heart shattered. He wanted to reach out and stroke her head as he used to, comforting her, but just as his hand was about to extend over the counter, an invisible barrier stopped him. He had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
A spirit cannot enter the post station because it is not a staff member.
"Linlin, don't cry. Your brother is right here in front of you, aren't I" Xiao Jing comforted her.
Suddenly, he remembered something and gratefully glanced at Yang Fan. If it weren't for the stationmaster's help, with his previous appearance, he was probably going to scare his sister.
"You're fine there!" Xiao Lin cried even louder, "You're dead and turned into a ghost."
She let out a scream that almost made Yang Fan drop his phone.
She stared at Xiao Lin, who was crying with snot running down her face, with lingering fear. Her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of disdain. "Go cry somewhere else!"
At the sound of her scream, she thought a cow had escaped from someone's farm. She was terrified!
The little girl's voice sounded soft and gentle, but when she cried, it was like the mooing of a cow.
"Hmm... I'm going out to cry..." Xiao Lin burped.
Yang Fan couldn't bear to look and shifted his gaze away.
Xiao Lin: "Brother... wait for me, I'll come out and talk to you."
She opened the small door on the side of the counter and walked out.
Xiao Jing looked at Yang Fan with an apologetic face and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
She waved her hand like she was swatting flies, "You two go over there and reminisce, don't bother me while I'm on my phone."
"Okay, thank you stationmaster."
Xiao Jing took Xiao Lin to the side yard to talk.
Looking at his younger sister before him, Xiao Jing wanted to pat her head to comfort her. In her hopeful gaze, he tentatively reached out his hand, and then he watched as his hand passed straight through her head.
Yes, he's a ghost now. How could he possibly touch her.
Xiao Jing's eyes were downcast. Seeing him like this, Xiao Lin couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face.
... Her brother really died...
"Don't cry, big brother is here, isn't he" Xiao Jing hurriedly comforted her.
Under his comfort, Xiaolin took a long time to stabilize her emotions. She asked Xiaojing, "Brother, how did you die Where is your body I'll take you home."
How did he die, and where is his body
Xiao Jing's eyes were dazed, his mind a blank. He couldn't even remember if he was dead. All he could recall was his younger sister; even his parents were a blurry memory.
He shook his head, "Linyin, my brother can't remember."
Xiao Jing took out a U disk from his pocket, his eyes dazed and struggling. "This thing is a package I got yesterday. I feel like it's important, but I can't remember what it is for the life of me."
Although Yang Fan had repaired his body, he still couldn't remember many things.
He only remembers his parents and sister, but he doesn't remember how he died or who killed him.
"Then I'll go ask the master!" Xiao Lin got up and ran to Yang Fan's side, "The master will definitely be able to help you!"
Xiao Jing also followed up.
Xiao Lin rushed to Yang Fan's face and asked, "Master, what if my brother can't remember where his body is"
"Can you help us"
Xiao Jing looked at Yang Fan with anticipation on the edge, hoping that the stationmaster could help him remember.
The short video was really amazing. Yang Fan took several seconds to reluctantly move his gaze from the phone screen to Xiao Jing, “It’s normal that he can't remember much; he just died recently, and his ghost power is low.”
"You can give him some of the fruits you bought. If he eats more, he might remember."
Spirit fruits can repair the soul and increase a ghost's cultivation.
Wow, I didn't know those fruits had these benefits!
Xiaolin immediately ran into the house and took out the fruits she had picked during the day to give her brother.
"Brother, eat quickly! If it's not enough, I'll go find the master to buy some more."
Xiao Jing looked at the bag full of fruits with spiritual energy and was a little surprised, "Linlin, how much did you spend to buy so many spirit fruits"
He saw that they were selling these spirit fruits in the underworld for 100,000 spirit coins per piece.
"It cost three hundred yuan. This is fruit grown by the master himself. Eat it quickly." Xiao Lin handed him a loquat.
She told Xiao Jing about everything that had happened during the day, including her encounter with Yang Fan earlier, and how she felt when he went missing and searched for him everywhere.
Xiaojing munched on fruit while listening to her speak, his eyes filled with sympathy as he heard about the hardships she'd endured in her search for herself.
Xiaolin thought about the person she had unexpectedly seen in town yesterday, “By the way, brother, I saw Brother Yan Bin in this town, I don’t know what mission they came here for.”
"Yesterday, when the master reported a crime, it turned out he was the one who came to respond! Fortunately, I reacted quickly and hid, or else I would definitely have been forcibly sent back now."
Thinking of her brother's serious and old-fashioned colleague, she couldn't help but complain a few more times.
Xiaojing: Yan Bin...such a familiar name...
The shattered soul continuously absorbed the spiritual energy from the fruits. Its thin and transparent form gradually became more substantial, and fragments of forgotten memories slowly surfaced in its mind.
After swallowing the fruit in his mouth, those forgotten memories of pain finally came to him. Xiao Jing's expression instantly became extremely painful.
It hurts so much! Every inch of my body, every muscle and bone aches!
He remembered how he died!steal some food.The loquat in the yard is too close to Yang Fan, and if he steals it, he will be discovered. But stealing lychees and strawberries from the house won't be discovered.Gazing at the open...
