Episode 18: Yin and Yang Twins (Middle) Today's second update, seeking red tickets for support

  "I said, 'Yi Ye, you're actually right. As far as I know, before me, there was indeed another older brother. However, he passed away at the age of 10. I once asked my mom about this matter, but she didn't want to bring it up.'"

  Yeh's brow furrowed and he continued in a speculative tone: "You say, could it be that your brother has come back to seek revenge?"

  "I said: 'Impossible. Calculating the time, it's been at least 27 or 28 years. How is that possible?'"

  Ye pinched her fingers and muttered to herself.

  It was a good half of the day when she asked me: "Do you know Auntie's birth eight characters?"

  "Haha, I actually know this. I remember when my mom took me to have my fortune told during the college entrance exams. I remembered listening clearly." Then, I told Ye Yi my mom's birth date and time.

  "Still two! Auntie has always had two children all these years. If that's really the case, Ye Yi, I suspect there's another ancestral tablet in your home!"

  I was already lying in bed, hearing this, I sat up with a start and said: "No way? Is there more? My family only has one Guanyin Bodhisattva, if there's another me, I would have discovered it too."

  "What if it's intentional concealment?"

  I rubbed my hands together, stood up, and paced back and forth at the head of the bed: "Guess where it would be if it really existed?"

  "I'm just speculating now."

  I stopped in my tracks, looking into Ye Yi's eyes and asked: "Ye Yi, how likely is this possibility you're talking about?"

  Ye Yī looked at me and said "Let's get down to business. Although I can read some physiognomy, after all, it's also a rough skill learned from the streets."

  What's going on? This probability is really not good. Either a substitute ghost has caught up with my old mother, or there's some so-called brother coming to find my mother to settle the score. Damn it, what's going on?

  More than 100 people have died in Longteng Community, and tomorrow is the seventh day. If it can't be resolved again, three more will die. Now, because of the relationship with Longteng Community, my family is also involved. What the hell is going on!

  One thing after another has left me exhausted. This time it's about my mother's life safety. I sighed and said, "Yi Ye, let me ask my mom?"

  Yey said: "Ask, anyway. We have to face it. If they really came for our lives, we'll think of a way out. If all else fails, let's go find Fahua that bald thief again and endure being cheated once more."

  I suddenly asked with a bit of annoyance: "Do I have to be cheated every time I look for Master Fahua?"

  "What if it doesn't turn black?"

  "I said: 'Then I'll just owe you more. Anyway, the more I owe you, the slower I'll pay you back.'"

  "I knew you'd owe me. You can owe me, I don't care."

  I said: "I've seen people who don't take money seriously, but I've never seen anyone like you."

  "Money is something that's meant to be spent, no matter how you spend it, the ultimate goal is to be happy. I'm happy, my friends are happy, and that's what gives money its meaning. Just being a miser, getting happiness from just looking at your money, is utterly hollow."

  I gave Ye a thumbs up, sincerely admiring his words. It's so damn philosophical!

  I patted her on the butt and said: "You sit here, I'll go ask."

  Yeyidao said: "Turn around, I'm afraid there's still a hidden situation here."

  "I said: 'It's all come out now, what secrets are more important than life? Don't worry, my mom is an open-minded person.' After finishing speaking, I pushed the door and walked out."

  Poured a glass of water for mom in the kitchen and walked into her bedroom with the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

  "Mom, feeling better?"

  My mother sat on the bed, watching TV. When she saw me coming in, she smiled and said: "Mom is fine, maybe I didn't rest well these few days."

  I sat beside my mother's bed, holding her hand and smiled: "It's been too busy lately, I haven't had time to accompany you. After these days are over, how about we go traveling? Take you out for a walk. The other day I went on a business trip to Longhu Mountain, the scenery there is pretty good, I didn't even have time to take a good look."

  My mother patted my hand and said: "This kid, just started making money, and spent it recklessly. Don't worry, mom's fine."

  I looked into my mother's eyes and said, "Mom, do you know what I've been up to lately?"

  "Mother smiled and said: 'No one knows a son like his mother, you've been messing around with those mysterious things thinking I didn't know? If I hadn't seen that you're making money, I would have scolded you long ago.'"

  I smiled and said: "Hehe, Mom is wise. I originally planned to deceive for a while longer. Didn't expect you already knew."

  "Actually, from the day you asked me for the ring, I had already guessed it."

  "What does this have to do with the ring?"

  "Your grandfather was a spirit medium back then," Mother said. "Do you think I wouldn't know?"

  I said: "Really, mom? I've never heard you mention anything about my grandfather before?"

  My mother looked at me and said, "At that time, your grandfather was gone. In the year of destroying the old four, your grandfather's reputation was very big, he was caught by the reactionaries. He was hung on a stone mill cover for three days and three nights, and then he was gone. The body was brought back by your grandmother, who knelt at the county committee gate with me to beg for it."

  I held my mother's hand, but what I thought of was that this thing actually has intergenerational inheritance. I didn't expect to follow in his footsteps like this. It's just unknown whether Grandpa is a master or really understands. Probably, he should be the real deal, as jumping into a trance isn't something anyone can learn.

  After chatting with my mother for a few sentences, I felt that her mood was not bad, so I tried to insert the topic I wanted to ask: "Mom, I remember you told me before that I have an older brother."

  When I heard this, my mother's grip on my hand tightened, but then relaxed. Her tone didn't change much, and she said lightly: "Yes, unfortunately that child was short-lived and died at the age of 10."

  I asked: "Mom, when did you start fasting?"

  "Mom asked: 'Why ask so many questions?'"

  I don't think it's necessary to beat around the bush with my own mother, and I'm very clear that maybe because of my uncle's influence, my mother attaches great importance to superstition. I said, "Mom, I want to talk to you about something."

  "Go on." My mother seemed unhappy, but didn't refuse me.

  I said: "Mom, how did my brother die?"

  My mother's closed eyes suddenly opened wide and stared at me fiercely, saying: "What do you want to know?"

  At this time, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue asking: "I want to know how my brother died."

  My mother let go of my hand, closed her eyes, and I continued: "Ye Yihui is good at physiognomy, he has calculated a fortune for you."

  "Are you saying I'm destined to have two sons for a lifetime?" My mother interrupted me and said.

  "You also know?" I exclaimed in surprise.
