N-A-A Chapter 1787 He's Really Not Human
Chapter 1787 He's Really Not Human
Sheng Xiaohan hadn't actually had time to tell her family about Sheng San Niangzi's identity yet. She had originally planned to explain it to them properly after they arrived in the capital. Although her family did business in the Ghost Market, it was mainly her and her father who frequented it; other family members and clansmen hadn't been there much.
They had assumed that while ghosts might appear in the ghost market, they hadn't actually seen them and therefore hadn't taken it seriously. Otherwise, the sudden appearance of two ghost messengers last night wouldn't have terrified them so much.
Hearing Fang ask this question, Sheng Xiaohan suddenly stammered.
Her father knew this and turned to say, "Since Xiaohan calls her 'Great-Aunt,' she must be an elder in our Sheng family. Look at how much she's done for us; she's done us a great favor. When you see her again, you should show her respect and speak to her politely."
Madam Fang nodded and said, "How could I not know that? But let's put aside her great-aunt's matter for now. Did you hear what I just said?"
Fang said to her husband, "Have you not seen those two women up ahead? We've been talking for so long, and they're still standing there. Could they have been acupunctured? Should we go check on them and bring them over?"
When Madam Fang brought up the matter again, the rest of the Sheng family looked at the mother and daughter in front of them.
After Fang said that, they realized that the child had her hair in two buns, so she must be a girl.
The others, however, were in unison and none of them wanted to go.
After all, they had all witnessed Sheng San Niangzi's abilities. She was able to talk to those two ghost messengers and make them treat her with utmost respect, and even agreed to give her time to find someone to investigate the matter.
What kind of simple person could Sheng San Niangzi be?
Therefore, the Shun family members both feared and respected her, and generally obeyed her orders. Madam Sheng told them not to leave, as they urgently needed to relieve themselves and dared not go.
Upon hearing what Fang said, Sheng Xiaohan's aunt immediately objected. The aunt clutched her stomach, barely able to stand, clearly feeling the urge to urinate. Yet, she still said to Fang, "Sister-in-law, let's listen to that elder. Anyone appearing here at this time might not even be human."
My uncle nodded in agreement. "Yes, we're already in a lot of trouble, so let's not cause any more."
Do you still want to bring those two people over?
But don’t!
They were terrified when they saw them, fearing that the two people would suddenly run over to them.
Everyone was on edge, their hearts in their throats. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two people standing there motionless. Then, Fang suggested that she take the initiative to bring them over.
When Fang heard what they said, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She felt that seeing someone and not thinking of helping them was rather cold-hearted.
She scoffed at her aunt's claim that "it might not be human" and dismissed it as nonsense.
“You’re saying that what appears here might not even be people, so what are all of us? Since we’re here, there must be others passing through here as well.”
Sheng Xiaohan said, "Mom, you yourself said that you were just passing through here, so why are they standing there and not leaving? Normally, people would cross this ravine in broad daylight or at midday and wouldn't stop. But they suddenly appeared at this hour, and it's just the two of them, mother and daughter. Don't you find that strange?"
Maybe they're not even mother and daughter.
Fang retorted, "But we didn't leave here in the middle of the day, did we? Didn't we spend the night here? And at this hour, aren't we still here?"
Sheng Xiaohan said, both amused and exasperated, "Didn't we encounter some special events? If it weren't for those events, you'd be almost in the capital by now, right?"
Sheng Xiaohan looked at her father. She didn't know how her mother, with her kind and meddlesome nature, had survived to this day. She guessed it was because her father had protected her well. Well, for now, she would just leave it to her father to coax her.
Sheng Xiaohan said, "Anyway, none of us are allowed to go over there."
Then Fang was handed over to her father to be appeased.
Sheng Xiaohan stood up and pinched a sachet on her body, inside which was a talisman given to her by Lu Zhaoling.
The reason why Madam Sheng felt at ease keeping her was because she knew that Lu Zhaoling was her protector.
As long as Sheng Xiaohan doesn't take the initiative to go to some random place and provoke any powerful ghost cultivators or evil cultivators, Lu Zhaoling's talisman can still protect her life.
With the talisman given to her by Lu Zhaoling, Sheng Xiaohan felt much more at ease.
She was someone who frequented ghost markets, so she wasn't that scared here.
But at that moment, the two Sheng family children who had been standing close together suddenly stood up, their eyes wide open.
The two children are twelve and eight years old, respectively.
The two people the ghost messenger mentioned earlier were actually them.
The ghost messengers originally intended to take them to the underworld for a closer look, but this terrified the two children.
Fortunately, Madam Sheng arrived in time and took the two children with her.
However, the two ghost messengers repeatedly warned the two children to stay put and not wander off, explaining that their destinies indicated the children were already meant to die. They warned that if the children ran around in the mountains at this time, something bad could easily happen to them.
Their fates were already somewhat precarious, and they could end at any moment.
Both children are the sons of Sheng Xiaohan's uncle; one is named Sheng Xiaojian, and the other is named Sheng Xiaodao.
They had previously said that their two children had weak fates, so they named them Daojian (meaning "sword and blade") in the hopes that it would strengthen their resolve and make their destinies more powerful.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Sheng Xiaohan turned around and saw the two brothers rushing over, about to pass by her and run towards the mother and daughter.
She was startled, but reacted quickly, grabbing one of them with each hand.
"Little Knife and Little Sword, what are you two doing?"
The two brothers were grabbed by Sheng Xiaohan, but after a brief pause, they immediately started struggling again, still trying to rush forward.
They grabbed Sheng Xiaohan's hand, trying to pull her away, while saying in hoarse voices, "Let go of us, we need to save people!"
"Rescue?"
Sheng Xiaohan looked at the two figures in front of her again and was shocked to find that they were now gently waving in her direction.
The waving motion was slow and stiff, repeated mechanically, one wave after another.
Seeing the sword and knife brothers' reaction again, she immediately understood that the mother and daughter were truly inhuman!
"Quick, help me stop them!"
