Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? -
Chapter 254: The Clever Dou Dou
Chapter 254: Chapter 254: The Clever Dou Dou
"He’s called Xia Wenbing. Xiao Xue met him two years ago, and seeing Xiao Xue so pitiful, he took the initiative to care for her. Xiao Xue calls him brother, and thanks to him, Xiao Xue didn’t starve to death on the streets..."
The woman voluntarily started explaining to Dou Dou.
Although Dou Dou was just a little child, perhaps because she had not talked to anyone in a long while, she spoke quite a bit.
Dou Dou listened very seriously, occasionally adding an "oh" or "ah," providing rich emotional significance.
At the end of the conversation, the woman looked at Dou Dou with a touch of pity and said: "Little child, what is your name, and how old are you this year?"
"I’m Dou Dou, three and a half years old." Dou Dou stretched out four fingers.
Seeing this, the woman could not help but laugh.
"You’re so young, yet so cute, how did you pass away? Your parents must be heartbroken," the woman said, slowly becoming sentimental.
"I drowned, and my parents were indeed very sad, but they’re not sad anymore; they’re happy every day now..."
Dou Dou was telling the truth, and the woman thought that her parents had forgotten her and resumed their lives.
"It’s quite dangerous for you to wander outside alone, you’re too young. If you encounter strong winds or those strangely shaped things, it could be very troublesome. Would you like to stay with Auntie?" the woman gently asked.
Dou Dou reminded her of her daughter when she was small and had no one to take care of her, breaking her heart.
But she had died; humans and ghosts walk different paths, and she could not help in any way. She could only watch helplessly, which was a torment. They say that upon dying, one goes to Hell, and she felt this was it.
But Dou Dou outright refused.
"I don’t want to. I have Potato, Sister Duoduo, and Sister Xiao Yue..." Dou Dou said.
The woman was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Did she belong to a group?
"Well then, never mind, but it’s so late, how did you come here alone?" the woman asked.
"The cartoon wasn’t interesting, I wanted to find Sister Duoduo to play, then I saw a duck flying in the sky, I chased the duck, but the duck disappeared, and I saw thief brother..."
The woman: ...
What were all these things she was talking about? But knowing she was only three and a half years old, she could understand it somewhat.
And at that moment, Xia Wenbing and Xiao Xue, having eaten their fill, fell asleep, the candle was extinguished, and the room plunged into darkness.
Dou Dou found it uninteresting and ran outside.
"Auntie, goodbye, I’m off to play with my sisters," Dou Dou waved her hand.
"Do you know the way, do you want me to send..."
Before she could finish, Dou Dou was taken up by a gust of Yin Wind.
The woman’s eyes widened, her mouth hung open, showing an expression of disbelief.
Her only thought at that moment was, can she fly? How can she fly?
And while Dou Dou controlled the Yin Wind and flew some distance away, she suddenly thought of something.
"Auntie, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Last time, Potato had set a task for the three of them, with Sister Duoduo coming in first, and she was still quite unsatisfied.
And Sister Mei Qi always said she didn’t have any wishes; it seemed to disappoint Potato a bit.
If she asked Auntie, maybe she had some wishes to fulfill, Potato would definitely be delighted.
Thinking about it, Dou Dou turned around and flew back.
The woman was still looking up at the sky, not having recovered her senses, when she saw Dou Dou wrapped in a gust of Yin Wind descending.
"You..."
The woman widened her eyes, opened her mouth, but for the moment did not know how to begin.
She didn’t start speaking, but Dou Dou did, her face full of expectation: "Auntie, do you have any wishes you want fulfilled?"
"Wishes?" The woman was startled for a moment, then turned to look at the house behind her.
Of course, she had wishes; she hoped her daughter could have a complete home, a place to stay, no need to wander, no need to be hungry, and be able to go to school...
"I have a wish, tell me, and I can help you fulfill it."
Dou Dou puffed up her chest and patted it, projecting an image of incredible competence.
But it somehow didn’t seem reliable at all.
But thinking about how she could control the wind just now, a bit of anticipation rose in her heart.
"You..."
She wanted to ask how he was going to help her fulfill her wish, but for a moment she didn’t know how to speak up, because some things, even if she said them, she feared Little Douding might not understand.
At that moment, Dou Dou suddenly deflated like a punctured ball and said with slumped shoulders, "Actually, it’s not me, it’s Potato who helps, if you have unfulfilled wishes, you can seek help from Potato."
"Potato? Who is that?" the woman asked curiously.
"Potato just is Potato," Dou Dou replied matter-of-factly.
"Alright then..." Seeing that she couldn’t pry a sensible answer from him, she stopped asking.
But since Dou Dou put it this way, she still held a glimmer of hope.
"So how are you going to help me fulfill my wish?" the woman asked.
"Do you have a wish to fulfill?" Dou Dou asked with a surprised and hopeful expression.
"Mhm." The woman nodded her head.
Though she didn’t quite believe Little Douding, this was her only hope at the moment.
"I’ll just tell Potato about it." Dou Dou was extremely happy.
Then she rolled up a gust of Yin Wind, soared into the sky, and seemed to remember something, then hurriedly descended from the air.
"Wait for me here, don’t go anywhere," Dou Dou instructed.
She has become smarter this time, not asking the woman to accompany her to find Shen Siyuan, as last time she and Sun Meiqi both ended up taking a foolish, lengthy detour.
Moreover, she enjoyed flying in the sky, not walking.
The woman nodded, and Dou Dou took off into the sky once again.
Then, spotting a direction, she dashed off, this time not to find Duoduo, but to find Potato.
Potato will definitely praise me.
What will he praise me for?
Praise me as the best?
Praise me as the most capable?
Praise me as the cutest, the most beautiful?
...
"Hehehe..."
Dou Dou openly laughed while still in the air.
Even upon encountering several "ducks," she was too preoccupied to chase after them.
Meanwhile, not far away, Xiao Yue was sitting atop a building, looking down at the neon-lit Bin Hai.
Seeing Dou Dou laughing foolishly all the way, she also became curious and rolled up a gust of Yin Wind, quietly following along.
The building she had just been at was actually Zhao Xuerong’s house. Returning home, Zhao Xuerong did not meet with her parents immediately, and it was unclear why she was hesitating; Xiao Yue felt bored and thus came to the roof, just in time to witness this scene.
At this time, Shen Siyuan had already withdrawn from his Divine Sense and was sleeping deeply in bed.
The fluctuation of the Divine Sense startled him awake; he suddenly opened his eyes just to see Dou Dou sitting on his bed, stretching out her small paws about to grab his face.
Shen Siyuan, startled by his sudden awakening, made Dou Dou jump, and she quickly retracted her little paws.
"What were you trying to do?" Shen Siyuan asked in surprise.
Naturally, he didn’t suspect Dou Dou meant harm; she didn’t have the capacity, and as a Fan Soul, she couldn’t possibly harbor such thoughts.
"I wanted to see if you were asleep," Dou Dou said.
"How were you planning to check?" Shen Siyuan sitting up and asked.
Dou Dou stretched out her hand and scraped under her eye, making a ghost-face-like gesture.
"Like this..."
Shen Siyuan: ...
