Chapter 474: The Taboo of the Ghost Festival

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Alex held Ameliaā€™s hand, a gentleness hidden in his eyes. Unknowingly, the Walton family had become his second home. He was used to being alone. He didnā€™t expect to have an obedient daughter and a warm family. š‘“š‘Ÿš˜¦š˜¦š“Œš˜¦š‘š“ƒā„“š‘£š˜¦š“.š’øā„“š˜®

At the dining table, William looked at the table full of duck meat and asked curiously, ā€œSister, why do you kill ducks but not chickens during the Ghost Festival?ā€

Amelia said as she ate the duck soup noodles, ā€œBecause thereā€™s a Bridge of Helplessness in the netherworld, there are 3,000 meters of water under the bridge. Chickens donā€™t know how to swim! If we use chickens as tributes, the wealth we brought to the ancestors canā€™t be sent over there! Therefore, in the Hungry Ghost Festival, we kill ducks instead of chickens.ā€

William was enlightened. ā€œIs there a taboo during the Ghost Festival? Can we go out at night?ā€

Amelia looked at William in surprise. Why was her brother still thinking of going out at night?

ā€œThere are many taboos during the Ghost Festival!ā€ Amelia counted with her fingers. ā€œItā€™s best not to go out at night, but if you go out, you canā€™t shout and call someone elseā€™s name, lest you be remembered by wandering ghosts.

Secondly, you canā€™t wear clothes with your name embroidered on them. Thirdly, donā€™t pat someoneā€™s shoulder. If youā€™re patted on the shoulder, donā€™t turn around. If you hear someone calling you from behind, donā€™t answer.ā€

Emma interrupted, ā€œIf I donā€™t turn around, then what 1 can jump up like a zombie and turn around. Can you scare the ghosts to death?ā€

Amelia gave her a thumbs up. ā€œSister Emma is amazing!ā€™

William sneered. ā€œYouā€™ll be scared to death by a ghost.ā€ After a pause, he suddenly thought of the super long reflex arc of Harper and Emma. Forget it, even if they suddenly turned around and saw a ghost, the two of them would probably stand calmly and stare at the ghost. Even a ghost would roll its eyes!

ā€œAnd?ā€ William asked.

Amelia said, ā€œDonā€™t sit where you shouldnā€™t in your red underwear.ā€

William: ā€œSuch as?ā€

Amelia: ā€œLike someone elseā€™s grave!ā€ As she spoke, she took a big bite of the duck leg. Grandmaā€™s duck leg was delicious!

William muttered, ā€œWho would sit on someone elseā€™s graveā€¦ā€ However, Emma opened her mouth in a daze. She was tired from playing today and seemed to have casually sat on a rock. Thatā€¦ shouldnā€™t be someone elseā€™s grave, right? She quickly stole a look at her underwear. Fortunately, she wasnā€™t wearing red underwear!

ā€œAnd?ā€ Emma asked.

Amelia said, ā€œThen you canā€™t take photos. Be careful not to take photos of the ghosts outside. They will follow you back! Donā€™t steal the tributes and fight with the ghosts for food. Be careful not to attract bad luck. You canā€™t step on them or burn the ghost paperā€¦ā€

Amelia spoke a lot, and William could not help but click his tongue. He had no idea that there were so many other explanations. Emma, on the other hand, had a headache. Who could remember so many rules!

On the other side, the Way family was also eating, but the atmosphere was very oppressive. When the Old Master of the Way family heard that there was no cemetery, he pursed his lips and pulled a long face.

Lull couldnā€™t eat anymore. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, ā€œDad, donā€™t think too much. Itā€™s not that itā€™s uncertainā€¦ā€ Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Way waved his hand. ā€œSigh, why are you talking about this? Letā€™s not talk about it.ā€ After saying that, he muttered to himself, ā€œl donā€™t have many days left to live. If I die, so be it. If I die, everything will be for nothing. The most important thing is still you. You have to live. Iā€™m fine. Just find a place to bury me.ā€ free(w)ebnovel.com

Lull was speechless. Originally, no one would discuss this kind of thing. Which family would discuss which cemetery to buy when their relatives were about to die of illness? In the end, it was all because Mr. Way came back one day with a cemetery publicity leaflet. To put it nicely, their familyā€™s choice of cemetery was open. They did not taboo life and death and looked down on everything. But was their family really like this? Lull felt an indescribable suffocation.

Mr. Way put down his chopsticks and said, ā€œIā€™m full. Take your time.ā€ With that, he stood up shakily and returned to his room.

Seeing the door close, Gran completely exploded. ā€œSister! Why do you have to make Dad feel so uncomfortable? Dad is already like this. I donā€™t know how long he can last. Canā€™t you go along with him? Yes, Iā€™m the one whoā€™s useless. I can only earn 4,000 yuan a month. I donā€™t even have the money to buy a cemetery for Dad.. If I had it, I would definitely not say a word and immediately satisfy Dadā€™s wish! Sister! Youā€™re too selfish!ā€
