By the end of the show, the audience in the live broadcast room was already very familiar with the interactive process.
After being selected for the second interactive session, ‘A Bite of Fresh Cheese‘ took the initiative to comment that he could start a video interaction, and sent his birth date and photo to Gu Zhisang in a private message;
Gu Zhisang directly initiated a video invitation to the other party. After the connection, the screen in the live broadcast room was divided into two.
The face of a middle-aged man first appeared on the screen. He was wearing a wrinkled dark blue shirt and rubbing his hands together.
The first impression given to the audience was: honest.
“Hello, Master.” He greeted awkwardly.
After a while, another voice sounded from outside the screen: “Why don’t you change?! How many people will see your dog-chewed clothes later…”
The man coughed awkwardly twice: “Tsk, what are you yelling about! The video has been turned on!”
The middle-aged woman who heard the words fell silent, and her face appeared in the camera a moment later.
The couple sat on the sofa together. Although the woman changed into a more formal dress for the sake of being on camera, the worn edges of the sofa, the wrinkles on her face, and the gray hair on her temples showed that the family was poor.
The woman straightened her back and said: “Hello, Master Gu, hello everyone. My surname is Sun and my husband’s surname is Wang.”
“Hello, both of you. What do you want to be told? Did you encounter a strange incident or something?” Gu Zhisang asked.
“Master, let’s not go around the bush and I’ll tell you directly.” The middle-aged couple looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and the woman continued:
“There have indeed been a lot of things happening at home recently, all because of our troublesome child…”
When talking about the child, the couple’s wrinkled faces almost wrinkled at the same time, and a look of worry appeared on their faces.
“We didn’t expect to be chosen by you, Master Gu. To be honest, we don’t know whether this child has a brain disease or something else that caused her to become like this today. We took her to the hospital but she didn’t get better.”
“I wonder if you can help me take a look?”
The two of them were a little nervous after they finished speaking.
They were afraid that Gu Zhisang would hear that it was not a ghost story or had nothing to do with metaphysics, but just some trivial family affairs and children’s troubles, so they didn’t want to show it to them.
Gu Zhisang nodded slightly: “Okay.”
She glanced at the cards on the table at the screen with her clear eyes, then looked at the middle-aged couple.
She saw that the ‘yin energy’ that was invisible to the naked eye but could be seen by her was surrounding the couple, with a faint blue-gray color.
This shows that they thought that what happened at home had nothing to do with metaphysics, but in fact, they didn’t realize that they had already touched related things and were infected with foul air.
Gu Zhisang took out three ancient coins, looked at the birth date, and combined them with the faces of the couple, the life stories of the two gradually became clear in her mind.
From the outside, the couple looked vicissitudes and bitter temperament, like they were over fifty years old.
But according to their horoscopes, the woman was only 37 years old this year, and the man was only about 40 years old.
They worked mediocrely in the first half of their lives, which made them look so old.
The two were born in backward mountainous areas and were playmates from the same hometown. They started dating after graduating from junior high school and then went out to work together.
Mrs. Sun worked as a customer service in a local hotel, while Mr. Wang joined the factory assembly line. They worked like this for more than three years and didn’t make much money. Mrs. Sun got pregnant unexpectedly.
Then they got married, went back to the countryside to have a banquet, and went out to work together to earn money after the child was born.
Because they have no education and no skills, although they want to make money and change their lives, they can’t do so. Until now, they don’t have a house of their own.
The ‘land and house palace’ above their eyes was empty, and the ‘migration palace’ on their foreheads was sparse and bald, which means they lived as foreigners all year round and had no fixed place to live.
They were the most ordinary people at the bottom of society, always running around to get enough food, and would never be illuminated by the camera and spotlight.
Gu Zhisang said slowly: “Mrs. Sun, you have been pregnant twice. Judging from your children, your eldest daughter is 16 years old this year.”
“The second time you got pregnant unexpectedly, and after finding out that it was a girl, you chose to abort her. Since then, your health has not been very good, and you have developed many minor illnesses.”
Mrs. Sun looked unnatural, and her husband beside her explained:
“Master Gu’s calculations are accurate. We should have had two children. We had no choice at the time. We couldn’t even afford to eat, so how could we afford to raise a second child.”
Although they said so, the couple felt a little guilty.
They knew that if they hadn’t found out that the second child was a girl, they wouldn’t have aborted her so decisively.
“You two have your considerations, but when you aborted the child, the child was already four months old, all the organs in her body had grown, and the soul that had entered reincarnation had entered her body for gestation, and she had senses.”
Through calculations, Gu Zhisang roughly guessed what happened that year.
Not long after the couple gave birth to their eldest daughter, they left the child to their parents in the countryside and continued to work outside.
Less than two years later, Mrs. Sun was pregnant again.
It was found out less than two months after she became pregnant. If she had an abortion because of financial constraints and could not afford to support a second child, she should have had it removed directly at that time.
But the couple hesitated because it was only after 12 weeks of pregnancy, which was about three months, that the baby’s gender could be preliminarily determined through B-ultrasound.
The fetus in Mrs. Sun’s abdomen developed slowly, and with the obstruction of the posture, it took more than four months to accurately determine the gender.
On the day they knew it was a girl, they made an appointment for an abortion and then had the baby removed.
As Gu Zhisang said, the soul that had been reincarnated had turned into a baby spirit and entered Mrs. Sun’s belly. It was looking forward to a new life, but it was expelled from the body by the abortion-inducing drugs and lost the chance of reincarnation.
The number of ghosts in the underworld has increased dramatically in recent years, but the number of newborns was limited. For ordinary ghosts to reincarnate as humans, they have to wait at least three to five years, and at most several decades!
The reincarnation opportunity that was finally waited for was destroyed by absurd and ignorant reasons. Even if the child’s stay or departure depends entirely on the wishes of the parents, the baby’s spirit will still be unwilling and resentful.
The evil spirits and foul air that follow will naturally have a bad impact on the couple.
Gu Zhisang looked indifferent: “Mrs. Sun, you have a poor foundation. It’s easier to get sick if you are entangled in foul air. You should burn more paper money for the child during festivals to resolve this source with incense.”
Mrs. Sun was stunned.
She did have minor illnesses after the miscarriage. She went to the hospital several times and took medicine but it didn’t get better. But she didn’t take it seriously. She just thought it was the sequelae of a woman’s age and miscarriage.
Who would have thought that it was the child they abandoned who kept blaming them?
Her nose was sour and she felt a chill at the same time. She nodded and said:
“I, I understand. It’s me and her father who are wrong. We will go to burn paper money for her tomorrow.”
Gu Zhisang said: “In addition, you two have been suffering from severe insomnia, low spirits, low luck, financial loss, and disasters recently… It’s all related to your eldest daughter.”
“If I calculated correctly, she was in critical condition about half a month ago and was hospitalized.”
“Because of this, you two have lost all your savings for many years, which is also implicated by your daughter.”
When it comes to the eldest daughter in the family, the expressions on the faces of the couple turned helpless and depressed.
Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and said: “Master Gu, you are right. This prodigal daughter is an ungrateful bastard! Her mother and I work so hard outside to earn money to support our family, but we only spend less than 20 yuan for 3 meals a day. But she, she!”
He was so angry that his emotions fluctuated and he couldn’t breathe well.
“Let me tell you.” Mrs. Sun sighed and wiped her tears: “Maybe we were often away from home. We didn’t take good care of her when she was young, so she became bad-tempered. She skipped classes, lied, drank, and stole money. She didn’t learn good things but bad things. She didn’t listen to me and her father at all.”
It turned out that the couple’s eldest daughter’s surname was Wang, and her name was Yunyun.
The two got married early and had children early. Now Wang Yunyun was sixteen years old and studying in a technical school. She has recently been on leave at home.
Perhaps it was because she was a left-behind child for the first seven years, living with her grandparents in the countryside. She was not close to her biological parents and was very rebellious at a young age.
Mrs. Sun’s eyes were red: “If it was just like this, our family wouldn’t be in this situation today. I don’t know when Yunyun started chasing after Internet celebrities.”
“Because she chases after celebrities, our family is now broke!”
Mr. Wang, who had recovered, also looked up at the camera: “Master, you just said that our family is experiencing…… disaster recently?!”
