Chapter 234
After leaving the area near Xiao Xuan’s home, Song Xiaotian and I both felt a little heavy-hearted.
People’s hearts are made of flesh, after all. We’d thought we were just here to deal with a Little Ghost, and once we handled him, that would be the end of it.

When I was eight, whether I was Chen Mo or Li Fuguang, my family was whole, and I lived a happy life.
But when Xiao Xuan was eight, even when he missed his mother, he couldn’t cry.
Because he knew that even if he did, his mother wouldn’t come to comfort him.
“I saw Rat last night,” I said to Song Xiaotian. “That kid was short and terribly skinny. Skinny to the point he barely looked human anymore.”
And after a person died, before they went to the underworld, they wore the clothes they had died in.
