Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 261: Making a Wish

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Making a Wish

"You and Sister Ruan Ruan wait here for me to come back."

Shen Siyuan pointed at Ruan Hongzhuang and then handed the Tang Tang in his hand to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Oh~ Oh~"

Tang Tang made a few noises with her mouth, seemingly responding to Shen Siyuan’s words.

"Tch, she still wants to be held by adults, I’m asking to be held too. I have little feet, I can walk by myself, but she is really something..."

Dou Dou mumbled quietly as she walked back and forth.

Xiao Yue looked at her, somewhat speechless.

"You’re so childish," Xiao Yue said.

"What does childish mean?" Dou Dou asked curiously.

"Childish means... it means you say you’re young," Xiao Yue thought for a moment before speaking, but felt something was off with her explanation.

"I am young, I’m only three and a half," Dou Dou held up four fingers.

"That’s four, not three," Xiao Yue corrected her mistake.

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou immediately bent one finger halfway to show she meant ’half.’

Though young, she was not foolish.

"Let’s go," Shen Siyuan said, addressing the two little ones.

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

Tang Tang, held in Ruan Hongzhuang’s arms, pouted and made hoo hoo sounds.

Ruan Hongzhuang found it amusing and imitated the sound a few times, prompting Tang Tang to give her a sideways glance.

But for some reason, Ruan Hongzhuang felt like the look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a fool.

Yet seeing her innocent smiling face, she thought it was just her own misperception.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the small building, a woman paced back and forth incessantly.

She didn’t know whether she should believe the words of a child of just a few years old, but now it was her only hope, so she dared not give it up easily.

After all, the other party could control the wind and seemed to have Divine Skills.

She probably wouldn’t deceive a common ghost like her, and the other party did not seem like a bad child who would trick people.

Right, there was also that little girl called Xiao Yue who could fly in the sky.

Hearing her words, she held Potato in high esteem, which made her think that Potato must be a very powerful and strong ghost.

Could the other party really help her fulfill her wish? But why would they help her? Did she need to pay any price?

But if the other party could truly help her fulfill her wish, she would be willing to sell her soul to the devil.

The woman’s thoughts were in turmoil, and she felt incredibly conflicted, unsure whether she should continue waiting.

Her daughter Xiao Xue and Xia Wenbing had not yet returned from their outing, and she was a bit worried.

Usually, she would follow closely behind, and although she could not help much, she would feel at ease as long as her daughter was within her sight.

During the day, Xia Wenbing usually took Xiao Xue to collect recyclables, as Bin Hai was a tourist city, with many plastic bottles near the beaches.

But even for such a small benefit, there were disputes, especially among some old men and women who were quite fierce. Xiao Xue could easily be bullied when alone, fortunate to have Xia Wenbing’s protection. He was a boy, and also a minor, so most people wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

Regarding theft, the woman was actually not too worried. Xia Wenbing would rather steal himself than let Xiao Xue do it, and he usually only stole at night.

Just then, two gusts of Yin Wind suddenly descended onto the second-floor corridor, and Xiao Yue and Dou Dou appeared.

"Miss Dou Dou, Miss Xiao Yue..." the woman greeted them joyfully.

"Hehe, Aunt," Dou Dou called out happily.

Then, without waiting for the woman to ask, she eagerly said: "Potato is here to see you."

She pointed down to the courtyard, then they saw a young man walking in from outside the yard gate.

"Huh?" The woman let out a sound of surprise.

She was surprised not only that the person named Potato was actually a person but also that they managed to walk in through the front gate.

She knew that the courtyard gate was locked with a big iron chain, and without a key, it was impossible to enter.

Even Xia Wenbing’s lock-picking skills were no use, because the lock cylinder was rusted through, and could only be forced open with violence.

That was also one reason why Xia Wenbing and Xiao Xue chose to enter through a broken hole in the side fence every time.

"Come quickly."

Dou Dou and Xiao Yue turned into Yin Wind again, descending from the second floor to the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the woman floated through the corridor fence and gently landed on the ground.

At first, she was amazed by such abilities, but gradually she got used to them.

All ghosts have such abilities, as Dou Dou and her companions can freely fly through the air, which is truly remarkable.

Shen Siyuan also saw the woman descending from the second floor.

She looked to be about thirty years old, not particularly striking, slightly plump, with flat cheeks and short hair that reached her ears. She looked like an ordinary rural woman.

"Hello," the woman approached, somewhat nervously and timidly greeted Shen Siyuan.

"Hello, I’m Shen Siyuan. You can call me Mr. Shen."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Shen. My name is Wei Qiulan." Wei Qiulan quickly responded.

"Don’t be nervous. Dou Dou told me about your situation, and I came to see what exactly is going on," Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen. I appreciate you making the trip."

She didn’t dare to look directly at Shen Siyuan, just fixating on the shadow on the ground. And it was because of this shadow that she recognized Shen Siyuan was a person, not a ghost, at first glance.

"Tell me about your specific situation, and I’ll see how I can help you." Shen Siyuan went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Wei Qiulan, upon hearing this, hesitated before saying, "Mr. Shen, may I ask you a question first?"

"Of course."

"Do I have to pay any price for the help you’re offering? I don’t have much to give you right now."

Shen Siyuan was not surprised that the other party would ask such a question. Any sensible adult would have this kind of doubt; there are no free lunches in the world.

"Therefore," Shen Siyuan replied, "helping you is also a form of cultivation for me."

"Cultivation? Accumulating Merit?" Wei Qiulan immediately thought of this.

The concept of accumulating good deeds and virtues has seeped into the bones of the people of Daxia; almost everyone knows it.

"Exactly," Shen Siyuan nodded.

He was indeed accumulating virtues and Merit, and the benefits were immediate and clear.

Hearing Shen Siyuan say this, Wei Qiulan felt somewhat reassured. Plus, seeing his tall and handsome appearance, he did not seem like a bad person.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Wei Qiulan first bowed deeply to Shen Siyuan and then expressed her wish.

"I hope my daughter Xiao Xue can have a home, not have to wander outside, not suffer hunger or thirst, have education and be able to grow up safe and sound..."

Is this a wish-making?

Alright, it is a wish-making, and to fulfill this wish is not too difficult.

After all, this is the most common and ordinary life for millions of children.

Just at that moment, a breeze suddenly whirled between the two of them.

"Hm?" Shen Siyuan was slightly taken aback and looked back.

Then he said to Wei Qiulan, "Let’s sit down and talk."

He pointed to an old bench on the walkway, which seemed to be a relic from when this place was a government office. Although it was abandoned, some facilities were still quite complete.
