Chapter 20: Sending the Spirits Off

It was indeed strange.

Madam Liu was not too concerned about her son, Lu Jiang, but paid more attention to Lu Ning.

Moreover, Lu Ning did not have to do household chores. They were left to the original Lu Sheng.

Lu Jiang, who was only five years old, had to collect wood from the forest with the other children in the village.

When she recalled Madam Liu's attitude toward Lu Jiang and Lu Xin, Lu Sheng suspected that the two of them were not Madam Liu's biological children.

"It's for you today. Hurry up and eat. If it turns cold, it won't be tasty anymore."

"Little Sister, you shall eat first!"

Lu Jiang broke off a part of the omelet and fed Lu Xin.

The omelet was still warm, and Lu Xin enjoyed eating it.

After he saw Lu Sheng eat it, Lu Jiang also took a careful bite.

"Yummy!"

He smiled at Lu Sheng. "This is the tastiest omelet I've ever eaten."

Lu Sheng chuckled. "Work hard to weed off all the grass, and more tasty food will come in the future."

After filling their stomachs, the trio continued weeding the grass.

Lu Sheng had spent the whole good afternoon to finish the task.

The space bracelet had quite a lot of food items. She took out a few potatoes and cut them into slices. Then, she took out some tomatoes and removed their seeds, preparing to plant them.

"Second Sister, what are these?"

After spending an exhausting afternoon weeding the grass, Lu Jiang had practically forgotten about Madam Liu and Lu Ning's affair. He stared at the items on Lu Sheng's hands with curiosity.

Lu Sheng smiled and replied, "I encountered an eccentric person a few days ago. He told me that these items could be eaten. He also gave me some seeds to plant."

"But… you've cut them. Can they still live?"

Lu Jiang viewed the potato slices with worry.

"That person said they can."

As Lu Sheng spoke, she distributed the halved tomato to the siblings.

"Xin Xin shall have this."

Lu Xin was only three years old, and she had never eaten these types of food items. She unhesitantly munched on them the moment she got hold of them.

However, she immediately frowned and said to Lu Sheng, "Second Sister, it's sour."

Lu Sheng burst into laughter, and Lu Jiang could not help but crack up too.

Suddenly, Lu Ran opened the door and the duo instantly stopped laughing.

Lu Sheng coughed and smiled. "Brother, you're awake. I've left some omelets for you. They are in the steamer."

"Okay."

Lu Ran answered in a faint voice before walking to the kitchen.

He was indeed famished.

He had reached a conclusion after cooping-up in his room for the whole day.

Since the adults were no longer in the family, he had to take up the burden of sustaining it.

During dinner, Lu Sheng made a cold salad with shredded potato and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Even though Lu Ran was doubtful, he did not inquire into it.

It was the Lu siblings' first time trying such food, and they cleanly finished all of it.

At night, Lu Xin wailed for Madam Liu, but she fell asleep soon.

Lu Jiang had always been a sensible boy. Seeing the villagers' attitude, he more or less understood something. That was why he did not cry or throw a tantrum.

It was a windy night.

Lu Sheng could not fall asleep in her room. She was preparing to send Madam He and the owner's spirits to Hades.

She took out a yellow talisman and bit her finger. Then, she drew a complicated character on the yellow talisman with her blood.

After that, she pinned the talisman on the ground and closed her eyes as she recited, "Use blood as a guide and pave the way with symbols. Huangquan opens quickly and sends the souls back to the mansion!"

As soon as she finished saying the spell, the yellow talisman emitted a weird reddish light, and a dark hole appeared on the ground.

The hole seemed endless and plagued with grievous ghostly screams.

Lu Sheng took out the talisman that contained the spirits of the two and pasted it at the hole entrance. The talisman was quickly shredded.

The two spirits were quickly sucked into the dark hole, and the hole disappeared. At last, the room returned to how it had been before.
