Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 982 - 978: Dad

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Shan Wenbo squatted beside Liu Yuqin’s feet, curiously looking at the creek in front of them.

The creek wasn’t deep, with lush water grass, vibrant and green, like a patch of low shrubbery, which had become the habitat of the red-crowned crane.

Some cranes stood quietly in the water, while others spread their wings and took flight...

Liu Yuqin watched this scene quietly, lost in thought.

"I wish I were a bird."

That’s what Liu Yuqin said to Shan Lihui.

Shan Lihui, naturally understanding her meaning, was a straightforward man, not really good at comforting others.

So he said directly, "Even if you don’t have wings, you have me. As long as I’m alive, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there."

Liu Yuqin grinned at his words.

"Mom, why are you smiling? You haven’t answered my question yet."

Shan Wenbo’s words brought Liu Yuqin back to her senses.

She looked down at her son and smiled, asking, "Do you remember your father bringing us here?"

"Of course I remember; he even said he would catch a red-crowned crane for me to raise."

"He was just bragging. The red-crowned crane is a nationally protected animal; catching it is illegal."

"Haha, he sometimes likes to talk big."

"Right, right; he also said he went to Xiajing alone when he was very young and played all summer without being scared at all."

"He was bragging; he wasn’t afraid of being sold on the way," Liu Yuqin said.

The mother and son looked at each other and laughed heartily.

"I wasn’t bragging about that," someone behind them retorted.

Liu Yuqin and Shan Wenbo both shuddered upon hearing the voice.

Because the voice was so familiar, even though it had been over two years, it was still etched in their minds, unforgettable.

"Dad?"

Shan Wenbo quickly turned his head.

Then he saw an unbelievable scene: his father standing behind them, smiling at them.

But when his dad saw him looking back, he also showed a face of disbelief.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuqin stood frozen, her actions stiff as she slowly turned her whole body around.

"H-h-honey?" she stammered, in disbelief.

"You... you can see me now?"

Shan Yuhui was as incredulous as they were.

"Dad."

At this moment, Shan Wenbo came back to his senses and rushed towards Shan Lihui.

Seeing his son rushing towards him, Shan Lihui immediately bent down, arms open, wanting to hug him.

But both of them ended up grasping at air, frozen in place.

"Honey..."

Liu Yuqin called out again, her voice dry, like sand blown by the wind, uncomfortable to hear but evoking a deep sorrow.

She also stepped forward, but only a small step, then stopped, simply staring at him, tears silently streaming down her face.

"Don’t cry, if your face gets smudged, without hands, it’s hard to wipe your own tears."

Shan Lihui stepped forward, reaching out to wipe away her tears.

But again, his hand passed right through her face, adding a touch of eeriness.

"Honey..."

But Liu Yuqin felt no fear, even stepping closer.

She was not afraid of death, she’d long had enough of this life. If not for her son, she might have followed Shan Lihui that night.

In countless dreams, she begged her husband to take her with him.

So, of course, she wasn’t afraid.

"Dad... wah wah wah..." Just then, Shan Wenbo cried out, rushing once more towards Shan Lihui.

But again, he grasped at nothing, crashing into his mother’s arms instead.

"Wenbo, you’re a big boy now, don’t cry."

Shan Lihui bent down, patting his little head.

This time, with experience, he only pretended to pat.

"Dad... wah wah wah..."

Shan Wenbo kept wiping his eyes, but the more he wiped, the more tears fell, blurring the "person" in front of him, as if he might disappear again, making him panic.

So he cried even louder.

"Huh? Your crying sounds terrible." At this moment, a voice of disdain came from the side.

Through teary eyes, Shan Wenbo saw Dou Dou standing nearby, wearing a mischievous grin.

Seeing him look, she immediately said, "Crybaby big kitty... bleh bleh bleh..."

Dou Dou stuck out her tongue at him.

After all, Shan Wenbo was still a child. Hearing her words, he immediately got anxious.

So he hurriedly defended himself, "I just haven’t seen Dad in a long time, I miss him too much."

"Oh, really?" Dou Dou immediately turned her gaze to Shan Lihui.

Shan Lihui immediately responded, "Yes, I didn’t expect them to be suddenly able to see me..."

As he said this, his face was full of joy, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped, because Dou Dou was the first to notice him.

He still couldn’t figure out what Dou Dou and her kind were.

"Hey, Dou Dou, you can see Wenbo’s dad?" Liu Yuqin also came to her senses, full of surprise.

Shan Lihui’s condition had given Liu Yuqin a suspicion because who hasn’t heard ghost stories or read supernatural tales?

But she didn’t expect that not only she and her son could see him, but even this child Dou Dou could.

"Of course, I was the first to spot him, hmph~" Dou Dou lifted her little chin, looking proud.

"Why can you see my dad too?"

Shan Wenbo wiped his tears, not understanding, clearly finding the situation difficult to grasp, knowing even as a child, what a ghost is.

Besides, he had a vague feeling that his dad was being taken away.

"Because I’m just like your dad," Dou Dou said proudly.

"You’re nothing like my dad; you’re a kid, and a girl," Shan Wenbo quickly retorted.

He didn’t understand Dou Dou’s words, but Shan Lihui and his wife did.

They looked down and saw the long shadow under Dou Dou’s feet.

Dou Dou also noticed their gaze, and after a glance, instantly understood. After all, she had been a ghost for a long time and was experienced.

So she waved her little hand and said, "Watch me."

Then her shadow suddenly vanished, disappearing abruptly, which startled Shan Lihui and his wife.

"Haha, now I’m just like your dad," Dou Dou said proudly.

Shan Wenbo blinked, still not quite understanding.

Seeing this, Dou Dou slapped over, scaring Shan Wenbo into trying to dodge, but he was a step too slow, as her fingers gently brushed his cheek.

Instinctively, Shan Wenbo covered his face, but then he realized he felt nothing at all, finally understanding what Dou Dou meant.

She really was like his dad.

"Hmph, believe me now?" Dou Dou said with a proud expression.

Not only did he believe, but he was in total disbelief.
