Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Cemented as a Little Ghost Girl

"It’s not just about the face; those with severed hands and feet, missing mouths, and absent ears are the same. They died a horrific death and never managed to mend their bodies, so in their next life they will be born with a body riddled with defects.

I think, nobody here wants grandma to be reincarnated as the girl from third aunt’s village, an outcast shunned by others for being a hideous freak."

No matter how much was said, the last sentence was the most crucial—they surely did not wish for that.

One by one they all shook their heads.

Jin Zijin smiled.

Gu Youyou felt it was almost enough, holding a needle, she also said, "That’s why I want to repair grandma’s face properly, so she can be beautiful in her next life."

Everyone still felt it was not right for Gu Youyou to use a needle in this way, but no one spoke up or dared to because of her last sentence.

Since Gu Feng remained unmoved, and because Gu Feng was most tender towards Gu Youyou, if he were to say, "Don’t you want your old mother to have a good life in her next incarnation?" their sin would be enormous.

No one wanted to be the scapegoat, and nobody was foolish enough to assume that role.

In this eerie atmosphere, Gu Youyou meticulously stitched the Huang Family matriarch’s torn half of the face back together, one stitch at a time.

Those with more courage craned their necks to see, and although the stitched-up face still looked frightening, it had to be admitted that it was much improved from before.

At the same time, they looked at Gu Youyou as if she was a monster.

My god, what kind of person is this? The term "ghostly girl" that’s been used all these years hasn’t been wrong. If she’s not a ghostly girl, who else would have the courage to thread a needle and stitch on a corpse?

The women all felt an immense horror, afraid that from now on, every sight of needle and thread would remind them of Gu Youyou’s actions today.

Too terrifying.

In the future, it would be better to keep a distance from this ghostly girl.

She even knows about matters of the Netherworld.

She also knows how humans are reincarnated.

This is a girl with heavy sinister energy; better not to provoke her and keep away in the future.

Under the peculiar gazes of the family, Gu Youyou followed the funeral procession and saw to the burial of the elder Huang.

The life of a person is so complex and yet so simple.

In just a few short decades, one can experience all the vicissitudes of the world, which is complex.

In just a few short decades, you come and go as you were, dust to dust, earth to earth, which is simple.

...

Gu Feng had been deeply saddened by the death of the elder Huang for a long time, and suddenly, he seemed to collapse.

Half a month ago he was still able to work the fields and hold authority over the family, but now he had completely given up.

All day long, he looked utterly dispirited.

Gu Feng had gotten old, beaten by age and shattered by blows, inevitably this day would come; the Gu Family sensed it—Gu Feng probably didn’t have much time left.

Ever since Gu Feng had become like this, Gu Youyou visited the Gu Family more often, each time taking his pulse and bringing medicine.

The Gu Family never looked at her unkindly again.

Firstly, because Gu Feng was ill and definitely needed a doctor. Gu Youyou was free of charge; if they offended her and she didn’t come, they would have to spend silver to call for another doctor.

They were not fools; they wouldn’t do something so stupid.

Secondly, they were intimidated by the skill Gu Youyou displayed in repairing the elder lady’s face. If she dared to do something as audacious as mending a dead person’s face, was there anything she wouldn’t dare to do?

Now, whenever they looked at Gu Youyou, there was always a sense that this ghostly girl was emanating sinister energy.

"Youyou, this medicine is really bitter," complained Gu Feng, frowning.

Although he was complaining, there was not the slightest hint of reproach in his voice, but instead, a relieved smile.

The Child Prodigy from the town, Doctor Zhou, who was highly respected by everyone, had said in his lifetime that Youyou was a child with extraordinary talent, which was why in such a short period of time she could treat people, behave politely, and knew how to write.
