After coming out of the ghost market, it was almost dawn.

Xia Chuyu was a little flustered, because it hurts to be burned by the sun.

Seeing that the sun was about to break through the horizon, Xia Chuyu hurriedly said, "Where should we hide?"

"Follow me." Wu You dragged Xia Chuyu away.

The two came to a house, the sky was not completely bright, and the owner of the house was not awake yet.

This family only has a simple earth-built house, with a wooden kitchen on one side and a thatched-roof cowshed on the other side.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Wu You dragged Xia Chuyu to hide under the cowshed without hesitation.

Two ghosts floated above the cowshed, the old cow in the shed felt something, a pair of black eyes of the cow rolled around, but still remained silent.

Xia Chuyu watched a fly passing through her body, and was a little speechless: "I said brother, can't we find a better place to hide?"

After the words were finished, the door of the room was pushed open. Wu You made a silent gesture to Xia Chuyu, and then stared at the room intently.

Xia Chuyu was speechless, and they couldn't hear us, so they need to be so careful.

To complain, Xia Chuyu remained obedient and silent.

The door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man came out with an ax on his back.

Immediately after, a woman also came out, and smiled and handed the water bottle in her hand to the man: "Be careful when you go up the mountain."

The man nodded with a smile, and left with a kettle and an axe.

After watching the man leave, the woman also entered the house.

Wu You stared quietly from the beginning to the end, until the woman closed the door, he still couldn't regain his senses for a long time.

Xia Chuyu floated to Wu You and poked him on the shoulder: "Wu You, do you know them?"

Wu You came back to his senses, his eyes were attached: "They are my parents."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyu was dumbfounded: "That's it."

There was a child's laughter in the room, and the eyes of the two were attracted again.

The woman came out with a two- or three-year-old child, and put the child on the bench: "Xiao Xin, my mother is going to cook, why don't you sit here and play alone?"

The child's eyes were shining, and he understood his mother's words, and nodded with his mouth open.

Xia Chuyu looked sideways, and Wu You beside him also looked softly at the moment, maybe this was the reason why he was reluctant to leave.

Looking at the happy scene outside the shed, Xia Chuyu asked, "Wu You, how...how did you die."

Wu You never took his eyes off the children outside the door. He recalled: "My family used to be very poor. My father lived by farming, and my mother would mend clothes for others at home to supplement the family income."

"When I was old, my father wanted me to go to a private school, but my family's conditions simply couldn't go. So my father sold the land at home and raised money to send me to a private school."

"There is a small pond on the way from the private school to my house, and there are a lot of lotus root growing in it. That summer, I thought about digging some back for my family."

"But I accidentally fell into the pond. There were very few people on that road. When I was discovered, I was out of breath."

When he said this, Wu You choked up, Xia Chuyu patted him on the back comfortingly, and Wu You continued.

"After my parents were sad, my younger brother Xiaoxin was born in the next year. Over the years, I have been watching their lives...but I am reluctant to leave."

Xia Chuyu asked: "Your parents are living a good life. You have been staying in the human world, and you will be captured by the heavenly master."

Wu You shook his head: "Xiaoxin is still young, I want to watch him grow up and walk."

The two were immersed in memories, but Xiaoxin on the stool ran down restlessly.

Wu You's mother was cooking and didn't notice the child getting off the bench at all.

The three-year-old child couldn't walk steadily, and Wu You panicked when he saw that the child was about to step on the stone.

"Xiaoxin!" Wu You wanted to rush out to catch the child.

But the sun was strong outside, Wu You rushed out now, it would be tantamount to death.

Xia Chuyu quickly grabbed Wu You and kicked the cow in the cowshed on the buttocks.

The cow was in pain, and the mooing sound attracted Wu You's mother's attention.

"Xiaoxin, don't run around." Wu You's mother rushed over to hold Xiaoxin in her arms, and Wu You breathed a sigh of relief.

Shaking off Xia Chuyu's hold on her hand, Wu You felt a little choked up.

If Wu You's mother had reacted a little slower just now, Xiaoxin would have fallen.

Although Xia Chuyu's approach was safe, there was a possibility of failure. She floated in front of Wu You and forced Wu You to look at her.

"Have you ever thought that Xiaoxin is still young and can't stand the cold on your body, besides, Xiaoxin is still some distance away from the stone, and children have small steps. If you went up to catch him rashly, he would be caught by your body later. Yin Qi erodes and gets sick."

Wu You also thought of this at the moment, and lowered his head apologetically: "I'm sorry Chuyu, I was too impulsive."

Glancing at Wu You arrogantly, Xia Chuyu waved her hand: "It's okay, I forgive you, but caring makes chaos, I understand."

In the afternoon, Wu You's father came back from work, and the family had dinner happily.

During the period, Wu You's mother served a bowl of rice and placed it in front of the spiritual tablet at home.

Wu You dragged Xia Chuyu to float in front of his spiritual seat, and ghosts could eat whatever was enshrined.

The two ghosts cleaned up the rice in the bowl in threes and twos.

During the period, Xia Chuyu asked Wu You inarticulately: "Where is your body buried? Why did the family open a spiritual seat for you?"

Wu You also teased the meal: "My family was poor and couldn't afford someone to carve a tombstone. My father buried me in the back mountain, so he set up a coffin at home."

As he said that, he pointed to his spiritual seat proudly: "This spiritual seat was made by my father himself."

Xia Chuyu is serious about cooking...

"...you save some for me!"

The two finished sharing the meal. From the outsiders' point of view, the meal was still the same, but the meal that was still steaming just now had no aura at the moment.

The two stayed at Wu You's house until the sun set, and Xia Chuyu dragged the reluctant Wu You away.
