Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 374 The Invisible Lifting Force

The ghosts didn't refuse and all extended their hands. Starting with Deng Yuehui, Yu Ru carefully touched the hands of every ghost except for Su Jinyi, the male ghost. When it was Kang Zhuyu's turn, Kang Zhuyu smiled and said, "Lin Xiaocao, why are you so fixated on an invisible force that saved you? What difference does it make if we saved you? Even if we really did save you, you don't need to repay us, because we are already dead."

Yu Ru looked up at her and replied, "Yes, I want to know who saved me, and I should know. Doing good deeds should leave a name, otherwise it would be too unfair. Even if I don't have the ability to repay them, I should remember it in my heart, and maybe we can repay each other in the next life."

“Let’s have a next life. In the next life, we will not know each other and will owe each other nothing. The next life is the next life, and this life is this life,” Kang Zhuyu said.

“You’re right. Then at least let me remember you all in this lifetime,” Yu Ru smiled.

Kang Zhuyu looked at her and said nothing more.

After Yu Ru touched them all, she didn't say much, only saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Little grass, what are you touching? If you touch our hands, can you tell who's who?" Dai Zhenzhu asked curiously.

Yu Ru smiled and shook her head. "I can't feel it."

"You just looked like one of those fortune tellers who read bones," Li Xu laughed.

……

Yu Ru had other things to do, so she chatted with the ghosts for a few minutes and then left. After she left, Deng Yuehui remarked, "Xiao Cao's observation skills are really strong. Is it because I touched her back that she felt that we might have touched her?"

"That's really impressive." Li Xu watched Yu Ru's departing figure and said, "I feel like she knows something."

"So you caught Xiaocao, but you kept it from her. Since you helped her, why didn't you tell her?" A childlike voice suddenly rang out.

Dai Zhenzhu subconsciously replied, "There's no need for that. She has already given us our final dignity and given us hope for the afterlife, so..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong and turned to look to the side, where she saw a dumpling staring at them from the corner.

"Hello everyone," Shan Ci greeted the ghosts.

"You little brat, why didn't you leave? Aren't you your mother's little shadow?" Kang Zhuyu reached out and patted the top of the dumpling.

"I wanted to eavesdrop on your conversation before telling Mom, so I didn't leave. (﹡?o?﹡ )"

Five Ghosts: "..."

"What did you just hear?" Deng Yue asked back.

“I heard everything. (?v?v?)”

“Then don’t tell Xiaocao,” Dai Zhenzhu said.

Why?

“Your mother has a very strong sense of morality and is a very loyal person. If she knew we saved her, she might burn paper money for us every year. That would be such a hassle. If you don’t tell her, she won’t know, and she won’t have to burn paper money for us or do all that,” Li Xu explained.

“Yes, little one, you don’t want your mom to be too tired, do you?” Su Jinyi chimed in.

"You're not wrong, but whether you help her or not, Mom will still burn paper money for you because we've known each other. ?(???)? Mom (?﹏?) ...She's such a kind and noble person. Oh my god! There can't be such a perfect and kind human being in the world. She's so pure, selfless, and loving. This is truly a mother. (*≧▽≦)"

"You little rascal, you're quite the flatterer, aren't you?" Dai Zhenzhu laughed.

“Hey, little one, we know your mother is very noble. Anyway, no matter what, you just don’t tell your mother what you’ve heard. Can you do that?” Kang Zhuyu said.

“I can’t do it. (^w^)” Shan Ci replied decisively. “I only serve my mother, and I only make promises to my mother. I don’t care about anyone else.”

"No, you overheard our conversation, you have to keep it a secret." Kang Zhuyu gently patted Jiaozi's head.

“That’s right, children shouldn’t do that. You’re doing something bad,” Su Jinyi chimed in.

"Hehe, I'll ask my mom if she wants to hear it. If she says yes, I'll tell her. If she says no, I won't tell her. Bye-bye! I'm off."

After saying that, Shan Ci immediately controlled the dumplings to chase after Yu Ru.

The video ends here.

A progress bar appeared, and soon, the next video appeared.

In this video, Yu Ru, sporting her bald head, is sitting in a chair looking at her phone. The entire chair is covered with a disposable transparent dust cover, which makes a sound whenever she moves.

A moment later, she suddenly turned to the camera and said, "Baby, go and push the trash can over to me, I feel like I'm about to throw up."

"No problem, Mom."

As soon as she finished eating the dumplings, Shan Ci immediately pushed the trash can towards her, asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"

“This old man… the contents of his phone are… I don’t know how to describe it.” Yu Ru looked down at the contents of her phone, her face showing difficulty.

"Mom, say whatever you want." (??3(???c))

"This old man writes essays, and what I'm reading now is his own writing. His essays give me the same morbid curiosity as seeing Alexander the Great kissing Jesus."

“?(?&39;?&39;? )??????”

"Mom, what do you mean by that? [?ヘ??]"

"This old man may have a conflict with Father Yun and Uncle Yun. It seems he is jealous that Father Yun and Uncle Yun are too handsome. From his youth until now, he has been fantasizing about unrealistic things. He longs to torment Father Yun and Uncle Yun, and even fantasizes about... cultivating with them."

"Three cultivations? What does that mean? (?⊿?)?"

“Those heretical practitioners who want to replenish their yin and yang, and replenish their yin and yang to nourish themselves, have a method of mating with others. They call this mating nicer, called dual cultivation, saying it is a kind of cultivation. This old man wants to mate with two people at the same time, that's three people, so I think it can be called triple cultivation.”

"Oh, I see. So he wants to... mate with both Dad's dad and Dad's dad's brother at the same time? I didn't expect Dad's dad to still be coveted at his age, and by an old man no less. ((???|||))"

Yu Ru nodded. "Yes, this old man's most recent lewd diary entry was over half a month ago, which shows he's still up to no good." With that, she sighed and put her phone on the table next to her. "Forget it, I'd better not look at it. The content of this old man's fantasies is just too disgusting, otherwise I won't be able to eat dinner tonight."

"Mom, I want to see." (っ?3??????)

"I'll send it back to our headquarters later, you can take your time to read it."

"Okay! (Thank you, Mom!)"
