"Sister, it's not that I lack love and compassion, but it's the society we live in today. Even though I am just a lingering soul, I read the newspapers. Haven't you seen how many cases there are of people being accused of wrongdoing when they were trying to help others? I'm afraid that if I help her, she will accuse me of drugging her, so I don't plan to do a good deed and help her," Sier argued back, feeling quite unwilling to accept my advice.
Sier's words left me speechless, no, I was speechless for a while. Suddenly, I thought about Sier's fear of being blamed for helping someone. This person wasn't someone I helped, so what does it have to do with me?
Besides, I didn't touch her, and I was quite far away from her, so I couldn't blame her, so I replied unconvinced: "Sier, don't make excuses, even if you saved her, she wanted to frame you, it has nothing to do with me, and besides, when I decided that you save her, I will get up and walk away, so that she can't see me when she wakes up." After saying that, I proudly provoked Sier. "Sister, didn't you see that you were the only one under this tree, those people were far away from here, and when Auntie was dancing, you were the closest to her. Now even if I didn't save her, I'm afraid you will become a suspect, sister, you won't be arrested by the police again, haha..." Sier said with some gloating.
"Sier, do you really want me to get caught? What benefit would it bring you if I got caught? Hmph, I'm ignoring you now. I'm leaving so that I won't be misunderstood." Ignoring my exhaustion, I quickly stood up and moved away from the tree.
To my surprise, as soon as I left the range of the tree, several middle-aged women approached me. This startled me. Could they really think I'm a criminal? This has nothing to do with me at all. Instantly, cold sweat started to pour down my body.
"Miss, please leave this tree quickly. It's a bit eerie. Anyone who sits under this tree at this time will involuntarily start dancing and taking off their clothes." I never expected the elderly lady walking ahead of me to say such a thing.
After hearing this, I finally understand why, with such a large tree and only the two of us, sigh, it turns out the problem lies with this tree.
"That woman who was scammed, what should we do, should we report it to the police?" Seeing the situation like this, I also feel like doing a good deed.
"Sigh, reporting to the police is useless. When the police come, everything will return to normal, and they will say we made a false report. Even if they don't arrest us, they will still criticize us." The elderly woman sighed.
"Could it be related to the smell emitted by this tree? Is there any expert who can explain it?" I asked curiously.
"The increased number of reports to the police attracted the attention of the city, and they invited a well-known domestic expert. However, they didn't find anything and even proved that this tree is 300 years old. The city has decided to protect it as a key tree. It seems that these days, those so-called experts are really unreliable," the ladies shook their heads, expressing disappointment in Chinese experts.
Just as I was about to say something, Sier suddenly grabbed my sleeve and anxiously said, "Sister, it's not safe here, we need to go."
Seeing Sier's anxious expression, I didn't even have time to thank the elderly women, I just instinctively shouted, "Run, it's dangerous."
After finishing speaking, the elderly women didn't respond, whether they heard or understood, I hurriedly walked outside the square. Sier said that as long as we ran out of the square, we would be safe.
While running, I asked Sier what exactly happened. Just now, there was no danger, so how did it become dangerous so suddenly?
"Sister, I don't know the specifics, I just feel like it's very dangerous," Sier said casually, showing no sign of impending danger.
"What? You just have a feeling? Based on your past experiences, how often have your feelings been accurate?" I hurriedly asked.
"Based on my past experience, this time is definitely accurate," Sier replied without hesitation.
"Sier, what do you mean? Are you saying that your feelings have never been accurate before?" I had a feeling of being played.
"Sister, how did you know? I never told you!" Sier stopped floating forward, rushed to me, and grinned, showing off two cute little tiger teeth.
Sure enough, this little brat was teasing me. I was already tired and hungry, and this kid not only didn't try to get me something to eat, but also kept draining my energy for no reason. I could barely stand it. Thinking about stopping my steps, I wanted to beat this kid's butt hard.
"Hey, little sister, you're not allowed to hit me, I was just playing with you and learning from you." Sier slipped away from my hand like an eel, and mischievously stuck out his tongue at me with his watery big eyes blinking, instantly making me unable to catch him.
Even though I decided not to discipline him, I couldn't help but scold him, " Sier, don't learn bad things when you can learn good things. Now that I've adopted you, I have to take responsibility for you. Come here, let me teach you properly so that when I send you back, your family won't say I can't teach children and have spoiled their child."
After I finished speaking, I stood firm, with one hand on my waist and the other gesturing to Sier, indicating for him to take the initiative and let me teach him a lesson.
"Sister, if you keep talking, you'll be sent to a mental hospital as a lunatic," Sier said, not trying to escape, turning around.
The chubby little hand pointed around me, and then with his clear and innocent eyes, he gestured for me to take a look.
I quickly turned to look, and to my surprise, the kind-hearted aunties who were just enthusiastic a moment ago were now looking at me as if I were a monster, especially the one who had kindly reminded me. She was actually whispering to the auntie next to her in a pitying tone, "I never thought such a pretty and likable girl would have mental issues. I can't believe I listened to her earlier, thinking there was real danger and following her for so long."
"Yes, yes, who said it wasn't? My old arms and legs have also followed along, haven't they? Oh, it seems I ran too fast and twisted my waist. I can't move now. Mrs. Lao Li, please help me press it a few times, otherwise I won't even be able to walk back home." The second auntie, holding her waist with both hands, said to the first auntie with a pained expression.
"Eldest sister of the Xiao family, stop talking and find a place to sit. I'll give you a massage. If that doesn't work, I'll have my son carry you back. My son will be passing by here after work." The first kind-hearted auntie said with great concern.
"That's great, but in the future, people like us with old bones should have some of our own analysis, instead of always following the crowd, right?" Another middle-aged woman said casually after finding a place to sit.
Seeing these two middle-aged women in distress because of my careless remark, I felt guilty and gave Sier a fierce glare. I intended to go over and apologize to these ladies, but as soon as I took a few steps, Sier hurried over and urgently said to me, "Sister, hurry, it's dangerous." After saying this, she swiftly floated away towards the outskirts of the square.
I snorted coldly, and with a disdainful look, I ran out of the square and reached the so-called safe zone. I rolled my eyes at Sier and didn't stop walking in the direction where the old ladies were staying.
After taking a few more steps and seeing that nothing had happened in the square, I smugly thought to myself, "Hmph, I won't be fooled by a little brat. Even with my ability to see spirits, I didn't sense any danger here. It's just a little Ghost head who has spent a few extra days with the City God. My sixth sense is still accurate!"
"Sister, it's really dangerous. Come with me quickly." Just as I was feeling pleased with myself, Sier suddenly floated back and desperately pulled my arm to drag me outside.
"Sier, are you crazy? Have you had enough fun? Let go quickly, or I'll really get angry." I thought of Sier as having a childish nature and thought that the previous play was fun and wanted to do it again.
So my face turned cold involuntarily, and I thought to myself that I would have to firmly reject it later. This won't do, always disturbing the adults from doing their work. I'm in a hurry to apologize to those elderly women, otherwise I might really be taken for a lunatic. I'm a forensic doctor, often appearing at the scene. If today's incident is spread as a mental illness, how can I still appear at the scene and become a forensic doctor who is trusted by the people?
"Sister, I really didn't lie this time. If we don't leave now, it will be too late." My icy face didn't scare off Sier, but instead made him pull me even harder, as if he wouldn't give up until I acted in this play with him.
And just now, I looked like a lunatic talking to myself, which once again triggered these middle-aged women's Love and compassion. Before I could even walk over, they actually came up to me and asked with concern, "Can you understand what we are saying now, girl? Don't Do not call the police. You look unfamiliar, not from around here. Let the police call your family."
Seeing this scene, I was once again angry at Sier's behavior. Whether as a human or a ghost, one should have a sense of propriety. No matter how cute a child is, being so clueless can be annoying. At this moment, I was really upset, regretting agreeing to adopt this little brat.
Looking at him persistently trying to pull me away and even attempting to use his ghostly powers to drag me towards the square, I used all my strength to shake him off. Finally, I managed to throw him off and he fell to the ground, his little face wrinkled from the fall. It seems that even ghosts feel pain.
Although he is a ghost with strong powers, he is still a child. I didn't expect that I would use such force to shake him off. But even though he looked pained and his eyebrows were furrowed, he didn't cry like other children would. Instead, he looked at me with a pouty, red mouth and then lunged at me again.
Seeing this, suddenly I feel like I may have wrongly accused Sier. Could there really be danger?
Thinking about this, I carefully looked around to see if I had just revealed something.
Don't say it, don't look, and you won't know. Once you look, you'll be shocked. A faint Red mist has spread on the ground of the square at some point. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all, and this Red mist covers the entire area of this small square.
It seems that Sier is not joking with me this time. He really sensed the danger, and through his recent series of actions, I realized that Sier really cares about me. Even though I treated him so badly, he didn't give up on saving me.
Just as the feeling of gratitude arose in my heart, a dark voice reminded me that Sier was working so hard to save me because the jade pendant was attached to me. If something happened to me, the jade pendant wouldn't be able to protect him, and without it, he could only live for one more day. So, everything he did was for the sake of considering everything, and I didn't need to carry such a heavy emotional debt.
Thinking this way, my sense of guilt for my rough treatment of Sier just now immediately lessened, and I no longer resisted Sier's pulling force, but instead followed his lead.
"Hey, miss, don't go, do you have any problems?" An elderly lady caught up with me and grabbed my hand, asking with concern.
This warmed my heart. Who says people nowadays are indifferent? I think there are still many good people in the world. Thinking of this, I quickly reminded everyone kindly, "Aunties, there's a problem with this square. Let's hurry to the street!"
"Miss, it seems that your illness has worsened, and you are talking nonsense again. Even the big sister under the tree has regained her senses and stopped dancing. Where is there to ask..." Before the words could be spoken, the voice suddenly stopped, and then I looked around the square, and everyone except me disappeared without a trace.
