Chapter 298 Xiao Ding Returns - New Mission
Tian Dayong and his sister Xiaohua bought some fruits and meat and returned to the village. They thought that their father was being naughty again, or that the old couple had had an argument and asked them to go back to judge. After all, this was a frequent occurrence in the past two years.
The smiles on the brother and sister's faces froze when they saw the two cold bodies in the house.
The scene was a bit weird. One of them was wearing funeral clothes, lying properly with even his hair combed neatly; the other one was wearing daily clothes, his face was a little blue, and he looked like he was asleep.
"Dad, Mom!"
Tian Dayong tried to wake up the person who had left with a trembling voice.
Xiaohua felt her parents' pulses with shaking hands, then sat down on the kang in a daze. She said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible:
"Mom and Dad are gone, brother, what did mom say on the phone yesterday?"
Tian Dayong's legs and feet were so weak that he could hardly stand. He held onto the door frame with his hands, and then briefly recounted the contents of yesterday's phone call in an incoherent manner. He also said:
"Mom's voice sounded very calm, just like usual. What on earth is going on? Call the police, I'm calling the police right now. Did some bad guys come in to steal things? Mom and Dad were murdered. Mom was in good health normally. What on earth is going on? We need to know why Mom and Dad are gone! They were fine before, everything was fine."
Tian Xiaohua bravely examined her parents. Looking at her father's symptoms and her mother's peaceful sleeping posture, she said:
"Brother, look, this room is not messy at all. Mom is still wearing her shroud. If a bad guy could put her in shroud, could he? Go and see where Mom kept her money and gold jewelry. If there's nothing wrong, then it couldn't be someone who came in."
Tian Dayong went to see the place where the savings were kept at home. It was intact, and even the clothes in the closet were neatly arranged.
Tian Dayong sat down on the edge of the kang, puzzled, and grabbed his hair tightly with his hands.
Tian Xiaohua sobbed and said:
"Mom followed Dad. Dad has been drinking since he recovered from his illness. How can he get better if he drinks and eats fatty meat when he already has blood clots? Mom blames herself too much. Seeing that Dad is dying, she feels that she didn't take good care of him, so she followed Dad."
Tian Dayong burst into tears.
The brother and sister blamed themselves and cried in the room. Half a day passed before they calmed down.
Now that things have come to this, all the brother and sister can do is to hold a grand funeral for their parents.
Unknown things are easy to speculate. The Tian couple died on the same day. Many people in the village said that they were deeply in love. Others said that Shi Min didn't want to serve her own man anymore, so she poisoned Tian Junfu and then committed suicide by drinking medicine. Some even said that the Tian family had offended the lucky star and that was why the two died on the same day.
In short, despite various opinions, the Tian brothers and sisters completed the funeral for the two.
Zhou Leng didn't have much savings left, and there was no dispute between the brother and sister. Over the years, they had become accustomed to having half the rights and half the obligations, so they didn't argue over that little inheritance.
They will support and accompany each other for the rest of their lives, after all, they have always been loved by their parents in the same way.

When Zhou Leng returned to the workshop, waiting for her was not only a familiar soul but also Xiao Ding who had finally succeeded in his further studies.
Shi Min's face was filled with satisfaction and self-blame. She looked at Tian Dayong and Xiaohua projected in the air and said:
"Immortal, it seems that I was wrong. They are all good children. I did not educate them well, and I suffered the consequences. I am very satisfied. They are good children."
Zhou Leng didn't know the cause and effect relationship between the three people. She could only see this life, so she didn't comfort him, but just replied: "As long as you are satisfied, it's just that I didn't save Tian Junfu in the end."
Shi Min waved her hand and said, "I know about cerebral thrombosis. That's enough. If I continue to live, I will be a burden to my children. I will leave now. Thank you, immortal."
Zhou Leng raised her hand and saw the other person off. After seeing him leave, she turned her head and stared at Xiao Ding who was floating in the air.
"What's wrong with you? Did you go out for further study and then blame yourself? So now you have a little white circle on your head. You are an oriental monk and you are still acting like an angel."
After Xiao Ding's tripod body swayed a few times, its tone was no longer as arrogant as before. The childish voice of a little girl suddenly sounded in the workshop:
"Sister, this is a new feature I learned after further studies. As long as you are willing to spend your points, you can exchange them for things, even to decorate your workshop. This is a great points exchange mall."
Zhou Leng's expression became horrified. In the past, Xiao Ding's voice was rough and even gender-indistinguishable, but now the other party's babyish voice made her very uncomfortable.
Xiao Ding tried to act coy and said:
"Sister, do you want to see what's available in the points redemption mall? There's the golden finger you desire. It will be much easier to complete the tasks. You only need a few points."
Although Zhou Leng was still facing the ugly guy Xiao Ding, the soft and cute girl's voice made her put away the expression that wanted to beat him up. She tried to say in a cold tone:
"No, it's not easy for me to earn points. I don't know your tricks yet. You're tempting me with your promotion of 30 off for every 300 spent. I might end up spending a lot more points."
When Xiao Ding saw that the other party was not looking at the points mall, he said:
"In fact, we also have a recycling business. If you come across a wild system or some treasure that you want to recycle, you will be rewarded with extra points. However, you must first open the permission to collect wild systems. It's only 888. You won't suffer a loss or be cheated."
Zhou Leng watched the other party trying hard to sell. There is an old saying that goes, "When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong." If someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a crook or a thief. She always felt that Xiao Ding exuded the aura of a dishonest businessman.
Seeing that Zhou Leng was indifferent, Xiao Ding tilted his body and thought carefully about his words. This guy was really a stubborn person. Sooner or later, she would beg him for mercy. Thinking of this, Xiao Ding staggered back to the only decoration in the workshop - the bed, and stopped talking.
Zhou Leng stared closely at the other party's weird little angel white circle and his no longer unreasonable personality. She shook her shoulders and then turned her gaze to the next task. She should continue working. As for the damn mall, she would talk about it later.
The projected information comes into view.
Name of client: Zhou Hong.
Client’s gender: Female.
Occupation before death: Chef.
Cause of death: fell from a building after the virus outbreak.
Age at death: fifty-six.
The client’s wish: I hope my daughter can survive well in this chaotic world. I am willing to give everything I have, including my soul, in exchange for my daughter’s lifelong peace.
Zhou Leng frowned slightly. The client's body in the mission notes was already broken, and she couldn't attach herself to the other person's body. Did she have to become a ghost?
Zhou Leng casually summoned Xiao Ding out of the bed, she pinched her fingers and chanted a spell, then pulled Xiao Ding into the transmission channel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself floating in the air, and Xiao Ding turned into a mark imprinted on her wrist.
