Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight

Ateng left the houseboat the next morning. When Ah Ling fell asleep the night before, she dreamed intermittently, but she couldn't remember the content of the dream when she woke up, and she was in a trance after waking up.As a result, she happened to witness Ateng carrying his luggage and saying goodbye to Ah Xian and Qibei at the back door. Ah Xian and Shichihei spent the night in the houseboat last night, they didn't seem to sleep well, their faces were a bit swollen. Aunt Ateng became very haggard overnight, and her body looked much smaller.Ah Ling couldn't bear to look at such an aunt—at the moment she felt that the aunt might not want people to see her like this, so she hid behind the pillar.

"The lady boss is right." Ateng said hoarsely, "Yesterday... when everyone went outside, I saw it. I saw ghosts." Yesterday everyone held hands and chased Amei and the abbot of Xingyuan Temple. When they ran outside, Aten stayed in the corridor. "That's really... a terrifying ghost." Horrible ghost?But what Aunt Ateng saw should be Ami.Ah Ling remembered that when fluffy hair repelled Ginji, Ami appeared in front of Aunt Ateng and taught her a lesson.It is said that the two of them have the same knot in their hearts - they like someone, they want to take that person as their own - even if they want to win love...

"It was the same last time. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably a ghost. I saw a woman. The strange thing is that the female ghost knew that I had a crush on Boss Taiichiro." Ah Xian nodded silently.Yes yes, that is Ami.Ah Ling also nodded in her heart.But if this is the case, who is the ghost that Aunt Ateng saw yesterday? "The ghost I saw yesterday is different from that female ghost that looks like a living person. It looks like a ghost... very thin, with bones in its arms, grinning teeth, feet covered in mud, and hands covered in blood." When Ateng said this, his whole body shivered.

"What's even more frightening is that he is wearing a luxurious cassock that can only be worn by eminent monks. Although the cassock is tattered, it is embroidered with gold and silver threads and looks heavy. It is draped over the shoulders like this..." Ah Ling almost yelled "Ah", and hurriedly put her hands on her mouth. What Aunt Ateng saw yesterday, could it be the true face of the abbot of Xingyuan Temple? "Where did that ghost go?" Ah Xian asked calmly. "Cross the road to the open space on the other side." Yes, Amei took him there. "It's scary, really scary."

Aunt Ateng cried.Ah Ling felt very sad when she heard that. "Miss Boss, that ghost's face is exactly like mine." "A Teng..." "I don't know what it is, but the ghost's face is indeed my face. At that time, I understood that it was my end. If I continue to stay in the houseboat and let my desires run wild, I will definitely become That. Although I don’t know why, it was as if a thick fog had cleared in front of my eyes, and suddenly I understood everything. After understanding, I felt so scared that I collapsed on the ground.” What is Aunt Ateng talking about?My aunt likes my father and thinks my mother is a stumbling block.But the distorted feelings in her heart should not allow her to see the abbot of Xingyuan Temple, because the abbot is a terrifying murderer——

"I threw all the medicine in the toilet, I'm really sorry." Ateng bowed deeply, and Ah Ling saw Shichibei put his hand on his forehead. "I gave Duohui the proprietress... only a little bit. I'm not justifying, but it shouldn't hurt her body. I'm also afraid, and I don't dare to drink too much for her, but I don't give up. I think as long as Duohui The proprietress is not here...this is a good time. If that kind of thing hadn't happened yesterday, I... probably would have done something unforgivable." Ah Ling finally understood what Aunt Ateng was talking about, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

It turned out that Aunt Ateng was poisoning Aunt, intending to poison Aunt to death. She took advantage of the time when Aunt was sick and drinking soup, and mixed poison into the soup. Aunt Ateng might become a murderer, that's why she was able to see the ghost of the murderous abbot yesterday. Is this what Ami has been worrying about? "You have always been diligent." Ah Xian said softly without any sign of reproach, "I hope you can untie your knot and start over." Ateng didn't say anything, he saluted, turned his back slowly, and left the houseboat without looking back.

Everyone in Sun Bingwei's courtyard didn't know what to do because they lost the landlord who was like a crutch and a beam, and it took a lot of work to deal with the aftermath. The residents of the Dazayuan were completely ignorant of the truth.Landlord Sun Bingwei spent thirty years repelling the abbot of Xingyuan Temple who was doing evil in this area. A Ling thought it would be better to let everyone know about it. Master Mizusuke objected to this: "Even what I saw with my own eyes, after a night, I felt like I had a dream. If you just talk about it, the residents of the courtyard may find it difficult to believe it. Besides Sun Bingwei probably doesn't want to publicize his achievements."

Master Mizusuke said leisurely again: "It is best to leave this kind of matter to the town cadres, and they can handle it very well." Obviously he said that, but when he came to the boat house, he said, "Son Heiwei passed away, Katsujiro I was alone. So I thought," Master Mizusuke scratched his chin, "I don't have a child with my wife, so it would be nice to adopt that child and let him inherit the Nagasaka family." Ah Ling was taken aback, and looked at each other in blank dismay. "But the Nagasaka family is just a poor family after all," Master Mizusuke said with a shy smile, "Maybe the odd man doesn't want to be the adopted son of that kind of family. Besides, that kid is very hardworking. I heard that at Sun Bingwei's house, three meals a day He does all the housework by himself. Everyone in the courtyard says so."

"He's also good at cooking." Ah Ling continued, "He's good at making fish sauce. I've seen it." "So, owner of the houseboat," Master Mizusuke said to Taiichiro, "I want to discuss something with you. Can you take Katsujiro in and train him at the houseboat, although it may take him many years to become a full-fledged chef , but you don’t have enough manpower here, I think that kid should be able to help.” Taichiro's cheeks relaxed, and Tae also smiled. "Like what the boss did to me?" Taiichiro asked. "Well, yes. Besides, isn't it Shichibei's long-standing dream to open a restaurant? If Taiichiro, who was cultivated by Shichibei, and Katsujiro, who was cultivated by Taiichiro, can realize this dream..."

"There is no better way to repay your kindness than this." Duo Hui also nodded in agreement, "And if Mr. Katsujiro comes to my house, A Ling will be very happy, right?" "I won't." Ah Ling snorted and said, "I won't." "Really? That kid is very happy." "Is it weird? Master Nagasaka, have you told him about this?" "Of course I did. I said to him, how about being a child in a boat house? If you go, you can be Ah Ling's elder brother. As a result, the kid blushed and was very happy." "Is that so, Ah Ling's elder brother?" Taiichiro folded his arms and thought about something, "Perhaps being a fiancé would be good too." how can! "I don't want it, Dad, don't decide such a thing casually!" Because the adults made fun of her, Ah Ling rushed out of the room in shame.She ran down the corridor patteringly, and unexpectedly saw the person in question who was strangely sweeping the muddy floor with a broom in his hand. "Hey, what are you doing over there!" Wei Sheng was scolded by Ah Ling unexpectedly, and opened his eyes wide for a moment. "What are you doing? Sweeping the floor." "Why do you use my broom?" "I can only use this. Master Nagasaka told me to wait here, and said that it would be a waste of time to just wait, and told me to clean it by the way." Ah Ling jumped off the mud and snatched the broom from him. "This is not your home yet!" Bizarre wins hem and haw, eyes are red. "Huh? But I... Of course, I didn't have such wishful thinking." Wei Sheng wins a very lonely look in an instant, looking very docile and helpless.Ah Ling's raised fist suddenly lost its target.It's not like being eccentric at all. "Ah, annoying, really annoying." Ah Ling said loudly, and then remembered one thing—by the way, it's done! She put her fingers under her eyes and pulled down the lids. "Ghost-face!"
