Let me see which unlucky person is here to tell fortunes today

Chapter 149 A ball of tangled threads

Zhong Lin understood that with Ji Chu's personality, he would definitely not say anything that was unrelated to the victim's problem. The reason why he and his wife had been married for many years but had no children was most likely because his grandmother had changed his fate.

When he thought that he was ultimately responsible, Zhong Lin blamed himself even more.

"Miss Ji, the reason I can live till now is because my grandmother defied the will of heaven. If I want to leave the next generation, am I also defying the will of heaven, and therefore being punished by heaven?"

Ji Chu shook his head: "No, your grandmother took the initiative to exchange her life for yours, and has changed your fortune."

"The reason why you and your wife have not been able to have children is because your friends who died in the landslide wanted to take you away."

"That's why you often dream about them after what happened. The bridge that the black shadow blocked you from crossing is the Naihe Bridge in the underworld. Once you step on it, even the gods and immortals can't save you."

Zhong Lin had mixed feelings: "So my grandma has saved me many times?"

Ji Chu: "Yes, that's right, but her power was used up long before she changed your fate. The fact that you are still alive in this world is purely because you saved yourself."

Zhong Lin was a little confused: "I don't even know about this, how can I save myself?"

Ji Chu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong also said before that when you were 20 years old, a reservoir was built near the village, and you returned to the village as a dam supervisor, right?"

Zhong Lin nodded blankly.

Ji Chu continued, "The geological environment of your village is not very good. There are often large and small earthquakes. This is why the landslide occurred."

"In the second year after the reservoir was built, a magnitude 6 earthquake hit your village. Landslides formed a barrier lake along the Wandong River in your area. You had the opportunity to escape directly, but you were worried that the river would overflow the dam and destroy the downstream villages, which would threaten the lives of hundreds of people in the village. So you rushed in resolutely and opened the gates to release the water, regardless of the risk of rocks smashing the monitoring station."

"But you also missed the best time to escape and ended up being out of contact in the mountains for 17 days. In the end, you were successfully rescued and miraculously survived."

"During those 17 days, you ate all the nearby mosses and lost 40 kilograms."

"Buddhism says that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The good karma you have accumulated from the lives of hundreds of people is enough to prevent your friends who died in vain from bothering you."

"However, ghosts have obsessions. They don't have the ability to think like humans. The only thing that can control their actions is the obsession they had in their lifetime. If the obsession cannot be fulfilled, their thoughts will become more and more distorted."

"They can't take you away, so they stay by your side and eat every new soul that has gone through reincarnation and is about to be reincarnated into your home."

"As long as they are there, no matter what you and your wife do, you will never be able to have a child."

After these words were spoken, Zhong Lin, who had always been stable in character, couldn't help but slam the table!

"How could they do this?"

"I didn't know about that incident. If I knew about it, I would stop them from going up the mountain even if I had to climb."

"I did survive, but I also lost a grandmother who loved me so much!"

"And when the earthquake hit the village, who wouldn't be afraid of death? Especially those who have witnessed death with their own eyes, they are most afraid of death, but I still think that many of those people in the village are relatives of my friends."

"They had already lost their children and couldn't bear any more suffering, so I returned to the monitoring station regardless of my own safety and opened the floodgates to release the water."

"After they died, I felt guilty all the time, from when I was 9 to when I was 40, for a full 31 years. During these 31 years, I saw so many psychiatrists and took so many medicines."

"But now, Miss Ji, you tell me that they are the ones who have troubled my peaceful life that I have finally achieved. How can I accept this?"

Ji Chu sighed: "Everyone will only have the memory of one life in this life, but the cause and effect may involve several previous lives. It's like a ball of tangled threads that can't be sorted out."

"It's said that things in this world are unpredictable, that's the truth!"

"It's hard to say who is at fault in this matter, Mr. Zhong, but the entanglement has led to the current situation. If you want to break the situation, you can only send away those partners who are pestering you."

Zhong Lin raised his head: "Miss Ji, how can I send them away?"

Ji Chu: "There are two ways. One is that I ask the ghost to take them away by force. They have been pestering you for 31 years, which has violated the laws of the underworld. It is no problem to take them away by force."

Zhong Lin: "Will they be punished for doing this?"

"Well, even if you don't turn into ashes, you will most likely be tortured. After you have cleansed your sins, you will have to start from the lowest level of floating."

Zhong Lin: "What about the second method?"

Ji Chu: "I'll give you a chance to meet, and you convince them to leave on their own initiative."

Zhong Lin thought for a moment and said, "I choose the second option."

Ji Chu guessed that he would choose the second option, a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and would not do anything extreme even if he remembered the little friendship they had in their childhood.

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, please close your eyes."

Zhong Lin obediently closed his eyes. Ji Chu stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on his forehead. The next second, Zhong Lin seemed to fall into a bottomless pit and continued to free fall.

After a long time, he came to a place as dark as ink, and he was the only one emitting light.

"Zhong Lin?"

Hearing a shout from behind, Zhong Lin turned around and saw a girl about 15 years old.

Zhong Lin remembers her. She was the oldest sister in the team that cut grass for pigs at that time. Every time they went up the mountain, she would carefully help everyone check the tools, and would also help the younger ones tie their trouser legs with straw to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from crawling in.

"Sister Xiao Jing?"

Xiao Jing looked sad: "Zhong Lin, why haven't you been cutting grass for pigs with us recently? Don't you want to play with us?"

Zhong Lin shook his head: "No, I didn't..."

Suddenly, a little boy appeared beside Xiao Jing. He asked angrily, "Zhong Lin, you are talking nonsense. We called you so many times, but you refused to go with us. You even let your fierce grandmother drive us away. Zhong Lin, I will never play with you again!"

The little boy was called Sun Dong. He was the youngest in the team and was only 5 years old when he died.

Then, one figure after another appeared around Zhong Lin. Some of them looked angry, some looked confused, but without exception, they all asked Zhong Lin why he didn't play with them anymore.

Zhong Lin then realized that the reason why they had always been around him was probably not because they resented him for being alive, but because their time was frozen on that day and they didn't realize that they were actually dead.
