Just as I was about to tell him the reason for my brother's death, I heard him scream miserably. I shouted a few times but I didn't hear his reply.

The old woman looked in the direction of her son's screams, and her tears immediately began to flow. It didn't matter if her son was dead or just turned into a corpse, to her, he was her only son.

That big brother was about to say who the murderer was, but suddenly a miserable scream came out. This meant that there was someone in the vicinity who was an existence of evil spirits, and only then would he be able to stop his big brother at the most crucial moment.

Fortunately, my big brother has been purified by the Overreaching Curse and has already turned into a soul. He is currently rushing to the Pool of Samsara to be reincarnated. He shouldn't die again.

I waved my hands towards Qing Qing. "It seems to be getting more and more interesting. I just finished dealing with a dead and incorruptible corpse. Now, I don't even know what kind of thing appeared. It seems that we are busy."

Qing Qing gave a faint smile. "Do your best. I'm just afraid that I might have nothing better to do." As she spoke, Qing Qing walked over to the old woman's side and helped her up from the ground. She tried to persuade her, "Aunt, please be merciful. We will definitely avenge your son."

The old woman wiped her tears. Just as she was about to say a few words of thanks, she suddenly grabbed onto Qing Qing's hand and said, "How is the baby at home? Is he well?"

"Hmm, your son successfully reincarnated, so he won't pester your grandson anymore. He should be fine …"

Without waiting for Qing Qing to finish, the old woman ran back home like the wind.

Qing Qing smiled at me. "This auntie sure is energetic when she does things."

"Not only that, I don't know where this old woman got her stamina from, but she's actually faster than me." After teasing her for a while, I embraced Qing Qing's shoulders and slowly walked back.

As soon as I returned to the old woman's house, I saw the old man standing at the door with a stick in his arms. When he saw Qing Qing and I were carrying the stick, he walked towards me.

He threw the wooden stick in his hand to me and lowered his head, saying, "Previously, it was my old man who misunderstood you. Why don't you use the stick to swing at me a few times?"

I was really confused by his actions. I quickly helped him up and said, "No matter how much of a misunderstanding you have, I can't use a stick to hit you. Great sir, hurry and get up. Is your grandson awake?"

The old man chuckled and pulled my hand. Then, he got excited. "I'm awake, I'm awake. You're really living."

I felt really helpless towards this old man. I really couldn't stand his sudden change in attitude.

When we arrived at the main hall, the old woman and elder sister-in-law were happily teasing the baby. After seeing us enter, elder sister-in-law wanted to come over and kneel down again. I hastily ran to the side, but Qing Qing reached out to support her and said, "Elder sister-in-law, don't be so polite. This is what we should do."

I walked to the front of the stroller and looked at the infant in the stroller, who was staring at me with his big, clear eyes.

However, the baby's appearance did not show any trace of Xiang'er. Scratching my head, I thought to myself, "Could it be that I found the wrong person? Isn't this Xiang'er?"

Just as I was thinking about this, the old man appeared beside me again and stuffed the red packet into my hands. "You're all living immortals! Not only did you not blame my old man for being unreasonable, you even cured my baby's strange illness. Thank you so much."

I pinched the red packet in my hand; it was clearly thicker than before. However, I couldn't take the money, so I handed it over to the old man and waved my hand. "This red packet was given to my child by me, how can I take it back?"

The eldest sister-in-law also said, "You've helped us so much and we haven't been able to get anything out of you. We've only made some money, and we hope you can accept it."

"Eldest Sis, where is your family? You don't need to be courteous to us."

"Yes, elder sister-in-law, you can go back there." Qing Qing also said.

Even if they didn't say that their family was ruined, it wasn't that great, especially with their family's pillar toppled. Their future life wouldn't be easy, so how could they accept their rewards?

Qing Qing and I decided to make a trip to Sha River Ditch tomorrow to see if there were any clues about where Big Bro ended up fishing.

The next day, just as dawn arrived, I heard the sounds of cooking coming from outside the door. Not long after that, I heard sister-in-law shout softly from outside the door, "Are you guys awake? The meal is ready. Hurry up and eat!"

Qing Qing and I didn't get a good night's sleep, so we unwillingly got up. The countryside was good everywhere, but we woke up very early.

After breakfast, Qing Qing and I played with the baby for a while before a ray of light shone from the east. Under the old man's lead, we headed towards the Sha River.

Along the way, they met a few old men who were doing morning exercise. The old man excitedly greeted them one by one, but the old men who were doing morning exercise were very surprised, as if they had seen the sun rise from the west.

There was no need to guess; one could already tell that the old geezer was not a good person. At the very least, he did not treat these few old men with kindness. Otherwise, when the old geezer greeted him, the old man would not show such an expression.

When we got to the village entrance, the old man started arguing loudly with a man. Qing Qing and I looked at each other helplessly, not knowing who the old man was provoked by. We quickly walked over to take a look and the person who was arguing with the old man was the first person we met last night.

This was the person that told Qing Qing and I that Old Sun had a big grandson last year.

I pulled Old Sun's head to the side and asked in a low voice, "What are you arguing with me so early in the morning for?"

"Little deity, you don't know, but this Erlang Shen isn't even human. Normally, he would just say bad things about us. Just now, he actually asked me if my baby was dead. Don't you think he's hateful?"

I was stunned before I asked, "Did he really say that?"

He didn't look like a great person, but his ears were especially sharp. With an appearance like he knew how to deal with me, he said, "That's right, I was the one who said that."

I didn't see Er Lai's face clearly last night, but now it seems that this fellow's face is covered in thin scars. A pair of crafty eyes are currently looking at me in disdain, as though trying to find fault.

Hearing his name, I knew who he was. I couldn't be bothered to argue with him, so I asked directly, "How did you know about Old Sun's baby? Does it have anything to do with you?"

Lai raised his head and pointed his nose at me, saying, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak whatever you want. What does the life and death of his grandson have to do with me?"

"It's best if it doesn't matter." I coldly snorted and ignored him, pulling Qing Qing and Old Sun to leave.

However, I can be sure that there must be something wrong with this person. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to find out about Old Sun's situation.
