Mingtu held Muyang in his arms as they sat on the sofa, feeling unable to help but sigh. This person's nature really hasn't changed a bit, believing everything others say.
But it's just that the grave relocation wasn't done properly. Is there really a need for him to use his treasured possession? This kind of dirty and tiring work should naturally be done by him.
Originally, Mingtu was planning to go by himself. The place name Muyang mentioned was a very remote town, with inconvenient transportation. It could only be reached by car, and the entire journey would be very bumpy. He couldn't bear to let Muyang suffer even the slightest bit.
On the day of departure, Mu Yang arrived carrying a large luggage bag, which immediately caused Ming Tu to burst out laughing.
"Are you going on a spring outing?" Mingtu leaned against the car door, crossed his arms and tilted his head, lifting his chin to point at the large backpack behind Muyang.
Mu Yang snorted and threw the large backpack towards Ming Tu. "Are you stupid? That place is in the middle of nowhere. What if there's no food or water? We can sleep in the car, but do you expect us to eat the car when we're hungry?"
Holding a large backpack, Mingtu could only smile helplessly. This little guy is also planning to spend the Lunar New Year there? Of course, it's best to finish things quickly in that ghostly place. There's nothing good about staying there. It would be much better to finish the tasks early and go home to embrace his wife.
"You have a pretty good car, my friend," Mu Yang sat in the car, feeling somewhat like Liu Laolao strolling through the Grand View Garden.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, the place is spacious, so if the two of us want to do something, it's especially convenient."
Ming Tu's lips curled up, as he appraised Muyang from head to toe. He truly was a perceptive and clever child.
What are you laughing at? If we can't come back for a while, do you expect us to sleep in the car? If this was a small car, wouldn't it be too uncomfortable for us big men?
Ming Tu withdrew his smile and said, "Alright, I was overthinking. Our thoughts are not on the same wavelength!"
The journey went very smoothly. If it weren't for Mingtu mentioning that they hadn't taken a wrong turn, Muyang would have thought they had driven into an uninhabited area.
"Mingtu, could you check the route again? How come we haven't seen a single person along the way?"
"It's this path, without a doubt."
"You see, isn't that person ahead?"
Mu Yang was about to say something when suddenly, he noticed a dark figure in the corner of his eye that seemed out of place.
"I'll turn on the car headlights to take a look."
The roads in the town were not very smooth, but the worst part was that there were no streetlights. Mu Yang couldn't understand. It was already what era, and yet there were no streetlights in this period of time. Truly unscientific.
Mingtu turned on the car lights and took a careful look. It really was just one person, but lifeless. Most likely, they were on the brink of death.
"Mmm, it's a person. It seems like the situation isn't too good. Stay away from such people, or you might have bad luck."
"Okay, understood."
The two of them continued walking for a while, but either there were no people along the way, or they encountered pedestrians who seemed very lifeless.
Even though Mu Yang was accustomed to having good brothers, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when faced with these people who seemed like walking corpses all over the street.
What's wrong with them? Why are there so many people who look half-dead?
"This little town is a decent place to cultivate corpses. I reckon the town's spiritual energy has been severed and it lacks vitality. However, we still need to go there and investigate the specific reasons."
The two of them chatted for a while and finally encountered someone with a strong aura of vitality. "Big brother, what's happening in your town? Why does everyone seem lifeless?"
When the eldest brother heard this question, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "Little brother, to be honest, it's difficult to put it into words."
"Big brother, take your time to speak. We are here to take care of this matter."
As soon as Big Brother heard these words, his eyes immediately lit up. "Are you guys ghost catchers?"
"Ah? It's not me, it's him," Mu Yang immediately waved his hands in denial. He wouldn't catch ghosts, no way.
Ming Tu sighed once again, wondering why he always had to accompany him through tribulations. Finding trouble for no reason at all.
