Qin Xiaorong, Qin Xiaorong~
In the darkness, a slender figure tossed and turned on the bed.
Her eyes were tightly shut, her brows furrowed slightly, clearly not sleeping soundly.
Qin Xiaorong, Qin Xiaorong~
A voice, from who knew where, called her name.
In a daze, she felt a sense of unease and subconsciously shielded her bulging belly with her hand.
Xiaorong, Rongrong, it's time to get up.
A familiar voice called her gently.
It's husband.
Rongrong, it's time to get up.
Get up?
Where to?
It's time to pick up the baby, the baby will be out of school soon.
Baby?
Yes, she has a baby.
You don't remember, do you? The baby will cry if they don't see us soon.
That voice was so familiar, so gentle.
The words spoken were so full of happiness.
She nodded subconsciously.
Yes.
The baby is so delicate, if she sees us a moment late, she'll start crying again.
She followed subconsciously.
Come, I'll hold your hand!
The gentle voice stopped abruptly.
The entire world suddenly fell silent.
The young woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.
She gasped for air, taking deep breaths.
She turned over, her hand trembling as she touched her belly.
What was that just now?
Was it a nightmare?
She couldn't recall the content of the nightmare, but the lingering sense of dread remained.
After a moment's thought, she turned on the light and sat up.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
A woman entered, her expression a little worried.
Rongrong, I thought I heard you calling out. Did you have a nightmare?
Now that her daughter-in-law was heavily pregnant, and her son had to work out of town,
she had to take on more responsibility for things at home.
Mom.
The young woman, Qin Xiaorong, smiled. It's nothing, I just need to rest a bit. Mom, you should go to sleep.
Seeing this, the woman walked in instead.
At my age, I don't feel sleepy at all. I'll just sit here with you for a while.
We can chat. Your son is something else. You're about to give birth, and he's still not back.
Qin Xiaorong didn't try to persuade her and smiled. He's just trying to earn more money for the baby's milk powder.
She stroked her belly and chatted casually with her mother-in-law.
Her body gradually warmed up.
On the other side.
After bagging the ghost that was calling out souls from the corner, Jiang Lin and a group of ghost marshals rushed to the next location.
Tonight.
Today.
They would patrol continuously.
Until the gates of the underworld closed, until all the ghosts that had escaped returned.
This is called soul-calling, right? That woman's soul was about to escape.
So terrifying, I'm numb.
Ghost: I think I can call a bit more.
Hong Hong Huo Huo Huang Huang Hu Hu, you keep calling, upstairs help it call.
Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~
Pfft, hahaha, I can't, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.
Seeing the soul-calling ghost get hit with a stick out of nowhere while it was calling.
The viewers were almost dying of laughter.
Tonight, they had seen many ghosts and all sorts of their antics.
Some were calling souls, some were dancing, and some wanted to hide in closets to scare people.
It should have been terrifying, eerie.
However.
As soon as they saw the ghost marshals start pulling out sacks, they couldn't help but laugh.
Before you scare others, save yourselves first!
Ghost: Who hit me? My head hurts so much, what just happened?
Remember to protect yourselves when you go out, hahahahaha.
Mushroom is on the stream and has tipped the streamer 2 bicycles.
It's already four or five in the morning.
In a little while, the sky will start to brighten.
Some viewers are already on vacation, while others have to work the next day.
But!
The more they watched, the more energetic they became!
Sleep?
Not a chance! Missing such exciting scenes would be irreversible!
They were all as excited as if they had been injected with hormones.
Just then.
Two sneaky shadows passed by the live stream.
They slipped into a small alley.
Jiang Lin saw them too and didn't rush to leave.
Brother, good stuff, want some?
Hidden by the night.
In the dark alley, whispers could be heard.
No more, no more, I really can't take it anymore, hic~
This stuff is different, it's perfect for ghosts like you. You'll know how good it is once you try it!
One of the figures fumbled on himself and took out a small item, confidently saying:
This is a specialty product only available during Ghost Festival. Everyone who's tried it says it's good!
The other figure, holding his round belly, was half-believing, half-doubting. Really?
Of course, it's real!
Then I'll try it?
He swallowed it in one gulp.
The effect was indeed very good, and he immediately slumped to the ground, feeling relaxed.
He rubbed his belly, now having the leisure to look at the night scenery.
He looked up.
Several ghost marshals were standing above, all looking at them!
His eyes widened in shock, and he gasped.
Hic~ Ghost marshals, hic~ sirs, hic~!
The other shadowy figure looked over, and the good stuff in his hand spilled all over the ground.
G-g-ghost marshal sirs!
Jiang Lin glanced at them indifferently, seeing a pile of blood-red, ball-like things on the ground.
What are you eating?
The ghost, full to bursting, quickly pointed at the other ghost. G-ghost, hic~ marshals, hic~ sir, this stuff is all hic~ her fault!
The female ghost who was pointed at immediately began to tremble.
She offered the rest with both hands.
G-ghost marshals, sir, this, this is just my homemade digestive pills. We didn't, we didn't do anything bad.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin nodded. Once a year, cherish it.
Although there was food sold in the ghost market, many ghosts were still in a state of not having enough to eat for a long time.
First, many were lonely spirits.
Second, as time passed, many ghosts were forgotten, and fewer people paid respects to them each year.
He actually knew some of the customs among ghosts.
He just didn't interfere too much.
Generally speaking, new ghosts, having died not long ago, were still fresh in people's memories.
Therefore, they relatively received more offerings and money than old ghosts.
At some point.
A transaction began between old ghosts and new ghosts.
It slowly became a tacit custom among ghosts.
Afterward, Jiang Lin and the ghost marshals left.
In the alley.
The female ghost quickly gathered her belongings.
The ghost that was full to bursting watched the direction the ghost marshals left, continuing to hiccup.
Hic~
Hic~ hic~
Shouldn't he, hic~ have returned to the underworld earlier, hic~?
Anyway, I'm, hic~ full, hic~.
This human world is too scary, hic~.
The viewers in the live stream started clutching their stomachs.
Hahaha, do ghosts need to digest too?
How much did that ghost eat, still hiccuping hahaha.
Digestive pills, you deserve them!
Ghost: I'm scared!
