Elmer sneered. “So you don’t have to use your son as an excuse. You just want to go back because you haven’t lived enough. You hid that money for the rest of your life, but you didn’t have the chance to enjoy it when you were old. You want to go back and enjoy it before you’re willing to leave.”
The old lady in the shroud seemed to have been exposed. As she picked up her false teeth, she quibbled, “No, I just didn’t have time to say it. I didn’t have time to say it…”
Amelia understood. She sorted out her logic bit by bit. “Because you still have a lot of money that you haven’t used up, you don’t want to leave and don’t visit your son in his dreams. It’s because you want to come back and spend that money yourself, so… you want to snatch my mother’s body, right?”
The old lady in the shroud was anxious. “No, it takes time to visit a dream. There are so many people queuing up to visit a dream. I don’t know when it will be my turn. Besides, my son is about to sell the house. Aren’t I anxious?” Besides, visiting a dream required virtue. She still had to work hard to earn virtue…
“I really did it for my son,” the old lady in the shroud insisted. “Really, I really did it for my son.”
Elmer raised his hand and sealed the old lady’s mouth with a yellow talisman. For her son? There was almost no possibility of resurrection for the ghosts wandering in the human world, and there was no way to visit dreams. It would take decades or hundreds of years to wait for this opportunity, but if she properly went to the Netherworld, she just had to pay a little for a dream. It was much faster than her wandering in the human world. This old lady was selfish. She loved money and kept it. Even until her death, she did not tell her son about burying the gold bars and saving them. After she died, she realized that she really could not take the money away and began to find a chance to return to the Living Realm…
Elmer looked down at Amelia. “Mia, how do you think we should deal with this?”
Amelia thought for a moment. That was a lot of money. When she thought of her red packet, her heart would ache if her money was taken away by others!
Amelia: “Then… let’s tell the old granny’s son to dig out the gold bars first. That way, he won’t have to buy an old house and will have the money to buy a new house.’
Elmer nodded. “Yes, and then what?” The most important thing was how to deal with this old lady in burial clothes.
Amelia did not think too much about it and said, “Just send them to the Ghost City like that pregnant auntie just now!” Where there were people, there were ghosts. It was very simple.
Elmer laughed. The little girl knew how to draw inferences. In fact, in addition to this method, she could also take in the old lady in the shroud and turn her into a baleful aura to be stored in the Soul Retrieving Gourd. It could fill the Soul Retrieving Gourd and increase Amelia’s own strength. Ghosts wandering the human world did not conform to the rules and could be killed when they saw them.
However, Elmer did not say anything. Instead, he removed the yellow talisman and said to the old lady in the shroud, “I’ll give you a chance. I’ll tell your son in his dream about the gold bars. You just have to tell me your son’s name and where he’s from.’
The old lady in the shroud opened her mouth. “l want to tell my son myself that I still want to see him. This is human nature. As a mother, she wants to see her son…
Amelia interrupted the old lady in the shroud. “But you’re a ghost!” It was human nature, not the norm for ghosts.
The old lady in the shroud: She wanted to say something else, but Elmer raised his hand. “Not really. Anyway, money is just a worldly possession. It’s not my business. I only care about ghosts.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Elmer waved his hand, and more than half of the old lady’s leg disappeared! The old lady was instantly anxious, and she still refused to give up. However, when she saw that her stomach, chest, and neck had disappeared, the old lady had no choice but to say her son’s name and address at the last moment. She wanted to spend so much money herself, but she could no longer spend it. It was better to let her son off than to let an outsider off.
Elmer retracted his hand and said, “See, that explains it.”
Amelia nodded heavily. “Yes, I’ve learned it!”
The Walton family: ‘ Isn’t this kind of teaching method not good?
Elmer patted Amelia’s head and praised her for being smart. Then, he looked at the Walton family. “It’s getting late. Do you have anything else to ask?”
Speaking of which, this was the first time Elmer had met the Walton family. George, Alex, and Mrs. Walton were fine. They had long known of his existence, Eric still looked like he had seen a ghost, while Andrew’s eyes were more probing..
