Chapter 379: Chapter 379: On the Road Again

Shen Siyuan took a bath in the creek, changed into a clean set of clothes, and then resumed his journey towards Ye City.

"Potato, can’t we take a ride?"

Watching the vehicles zooming past, Dou Dou caught up with Shen Siyuan, indicating she was too lazy to walk.

"How far have you walked? Besides, no cars have stopped."

"Liar, there was an uncle just now who asked if you wanted a lift for part of the way." Dou Dou stamped her foot, huffing angrily.

"Why do you insist on taking a ride?"

"My little feet hurt, I can’t walk anymore. How about you carry me?" Dou Dou said as she opened her arms, full of anticipation.

"You can fly, can’t you? I didn’t forbid you guys from flying." Shen Siyuan said.

"Sister Xiao Yue and Bad Duoduo don’t fly; it’s just me and it’s so boring."

"Bad Duoduo? Why is it only Duoduo who is bad?"

"Because I don’t dare to say that about Sister Xiao Yue." She was courageously straightforward.

"I’ll teach you a trick." Shen Siyuan said.

"What trick?" Dou Dou perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"You could turn into a ghost and then ride on Duoduo’s shoulder. This way, you wouldn’t delay playing with them, nor would you need to walk." Shen Siyuan said.

"Right."

Dou Dou heard this and excitedly ran back; she was very good at executing plans.

Then, soon after, the sound of the two little ones fighting could be heard.

"Are you silly? If you can’t walk, turn into a ghost and you won’t be tired. Why would you ride on Duoduo’s shoulder?" Xiao Yue asked angrily.

"It’s Potato, it was all his idea."

Dou Dou was quick to blame others.

Then Xiao Yue quickly caught up, glaring at Shen Siyuan with anger.

"Uh, I was just playing around with her." Shen Siyuan said somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmph." Xiao Yue huffed and went back.

Seeing Xiao Yue like this, Shen Siyuan was actually quite happy, at least she wasn’t indifferent like before.

At that moment, a bicycle passed by them.

It was a rather skinny man, riding an old mountain bike with luggage on the back, panting heavily, soaked in sweat, and clearly not physically strong.

He was either new to bike traveling or it was just a short trip.

He passed by them, curiously looking at them.

And Shen Siyuan and his companions were also curiously looking at him, precisely, at the woman sitting on the luggage at the back of his bike.

They thought he would just pass by, but unexpectedly, the man turned around and came back.

"Hello."

He stopped his bike beside Shen Siyuan, greeting him while his gaze fell on the three little ones behind him.

"Hello." Shen Siyuan slightly nodded, looking at him curiously.

The woman sitting on his back seat had already gotten down from the bike and walked curiously towards the three little ones.

Because she noticed, the three little ones had their gaze fixed on her the entire time.

When she passed by earlier, she thought it was just her imagination and didn’t think much of it, but now she was absolutely sure.

"Little brother, is your home nearby?"

The man looked to be in his thirties, with a lean face and big eyes, which made him look quite spirited.

He asked this due to seeing Shen Siyuan simply carrying a backpack, yet walking on the road with three children, sparking his curiosity.

"Yes, not far from here." Shen Siyuan replied.

He didn’t want to explain too much as the man was not the first to ask and he carried the backpack to avoid such situations, but since Dou Dou and the others were still young, many people still asked out of concern.

"I see, the weather is too hot, it’s not good to take children out on the road."

Saying this, he turned around, took out two bottles of mineral water from the luggage at the back of his bike, and handed them to Shen Siyuan.

"Make sure the kids drink something, beware of heatstroke," he said.

"Thank you."

Shen Siyuan unceremoniously reached out and took it.

The man looked deeply at Shen Siyuan, didn’t say anything more, and rode away on his bicycle.

But the woman from before didn’t leave; she was talking to Xiao Yue and the others.

"Why can you see me?"

The woman was very curious.

"And what is your relationship with him?"

She finished speaking and gestured with her eyes towards Shen Siyuan in front.

"On such a hot day, why aren’t you staying at home and running around on the streets?"

"Where are you going?"

...

"You’re such a chatterbox, you talk too much."

Dou Dou felt her little head buzzing.

"You little thing, why are you so cute."

The woman said, reaching out to pinch Dou Dou’s cheek.

It was a subconscious action, even though she was dead and knew she couldn’t touch the other person, she still instinctively reached out.

But at that moment, Dou Dou was quicker and slapped her hand with a "pia~."

"Don’t pinch my face, I’ll drool," Dou Dou said discontentedly.

She still thought she was alive.

However, clearly, the woman didn’t care what she said; she was still shocked by Dou Dou’s touch.

"You... how can you touch me?"

"Hi hi~, because we are all ghosts," Dou Dou said, rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue, making a ghost face.

"Hehehe, you’re fun," Duoduo also said with a laugh.

Only Xiao Yue stood by, watching the other woman with an indifferent expression.

The woman was startled at first, then laughed: "How could you..."

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked down at the ground, then she froze, unable to continue her words.

Because she really couldn’t see her shadow.

"It’s really strange."

Dou Dou muttered and chased after Shen Siyuan.

Xiao Yue and Duoduo hurriedly followed; Shen Siyuan had already walked far ahead.

The woman finally caught on, somewhat stammering: "Why... but..."

For a moment, she didn’t know how to express her thoughts.

"If you have any questions, you can ask my brother," Xiao Yue pointed towards Shen Siyuan ahead.

Unlike Duoduo and Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue would act on her own, not just when asked.

Xiao Yue would proactively help Shen Siyuan with missions involving guiding dead souls, although it’s related to her personality; she doesn’t interact much with other ghosts.

But if she happens to meet one, she naturally wouldn’t begrudge giving them a chance.

"Him?" The woman was startled.

Then she suddenly realized, these little ones wouldn’t be following the man up ahead without reason, and their uniqueness must also be related to the man.

With that thought, she hurried after Shen Siyuan.

But halfway there, her pace slowed again, showing a hint of hesitation.

Because she didn’t know whether he was good or bad, if he were a bad person, even though she was already dead, he might still have ways to deal with her.

She looked back at the laughing children, and then at the road ahead, bit her lip, and still chased after Shen Siyuan.

"Hello..."
