REBIRTH: GHOST EXORCISER

Chapter 362: Little Fellow Zhang Xiaoyang’s Fate

Counselor Zhang’s wife thought that Chi Shuyan was worried about her and said, “There’s no water in here today. I’ll go wash some fruits in the corridor outside.”

Seeing the obvious worry on Chi Shuyan’s face, Teacher Huang’s heart felt warm. Usually, when she went to wash fruits, even Old Zhang wasn’t this nervous. She said, “Shuyan, look after Yangyang for me for a bit. I’ll come back after washing the fruits. There are doctors and nurses everywhere in the corridor. Nothing will happen to me, so don’t worry!”

Chi Shuyan was originally very worried, but when she heard her say that she was going out to the corridor to wash fruits instead of going home, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, her thoughts were still on the thick black qi and the strange red light when Counselor Zhang’s wife went out just now. For a moment, she felt that Counselor Zhang’s wife would die if she went out.

Chi Shuyan trusted her instincts and immediately got up. After talking to Zhang Xiaoyang for a while, she told the little guy to stay put. She walked to the door and looked out. Not far away, she saw that Counselor Zhang’s wife was washing fruits on the other side of the corridor. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

“Sister Chi, what’s wrong?” Zhang Xiaoyang asked curiously.

“It’s nothing!” Chi Shuyan was sure that as long as Counselor Zhang’s wife didn’t leave the hospital, she would be fine. When she came back later, Chi Shuyan planned to go back home with her if the latter wanted to.

She was really worried about the thick cadaveric qi on her face.

“Sister Chi, you have a load on your mind!” Zhang Xiaoyang said with certainty.

Chi Shuyan smiled. “Yangyang, you even know this phrase?”

Zhang Xiaoyang patted his chest confidently. “Of course. My parents taught it to me once, and I remembered it! ‘A load on your mind’ means you’re concerned about something. Sister Chi, you have something on your mind, right?”

This little guy was so sharp and smart; he would definitely be a talent in the future.

Zhang Xiaoyang bit his lip and suddenly said, “Sister Chi, if you have something on, you can leave first. I’ll be good here by myself. I don’t need anyone to watch me. When my parents aren’t around, I’m also by myself. I’ll stay in the ward obediently and I won’t be tricked to leave by strangers. Sister Chi, don’t worry about me!”

Chi Shuyan’s impression of this child was better and better. She felt that Counselor Zhang and his wife had taught this child too well.

If this continued, this child would definitely be a talent in the future.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the little guy’s eyebrows. She frowned deeply. She had thought that this child would live a long life after avoiding this calamity.

It was just that she saw that this child would still die early and wouldn’t live past the age of eight. Chi Shuyan’s face changed and she suddenly stretched out her hand. “Yangyang, can you hold Sister’s hand for a while?”

Zhang Xiaoyang liked Chi Shuyan, so he gave her his little hand trustingly.

Chi Shuyan focused on the little guy’s future. Many fragmented images swiftly flashed past. Chi Shuyan circulated her spiritual energy to speed up the images until she saw the little guy being sent to the welfare center and then adopted. Only then did Chi Shuyan slow the images down.

After the family took in Zhang Xiaoyang, they treated the little guy pretty well at first, but when their own child was born not long after, the little guy’s adoptive parents started beating and scolding him, abusing him in all sorts of ways. He was still light after not eating enough all year round, and regardless whether there was wind or rain, or if it was the cold winter months, they made this child who was less than eight years old sleep in a dog cage.

Chi Shuyan now saw the skinny little guy in the image whose body was frozen blue and who was wearing only a thin, patched shirt.

It was completely unlike the carefree, fair, plump and cute little guy lying on the hospital bed at that moment. On the contrary, the child in the image had a face full of despair, who picked up the occasional apple core from the ground and licked it greedily.

In the end, the child froze to death in the dog cage. After his death, his adoptive parents threw him into the well.

“Sister, how long are we going to hold hands? Can we switch hands?”
