Chapter 124 Leave here and start a new life somewhere else

Hayata Shin turned his head to look at Gu Chen with a confused look on his face and said, "Why is there still a child here?"

"She is the key figure in this incident. Let's do it. I will tell you the information I have investigated clearly." Gu Chen explained simply, and then guided everyone to sit down.

Then, Gu Chen started talking about the witches reported by the villagers to the police.

The matter was not complicated. Within a cup of coffee, Gu Chen explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

After listening to Gu Chen's narration, Yi Chu Guanghong looked at Xiaoxue with a shocked face and said, "So that witch is actually the soul of your mother?"

"I don't know either, but that's what Brother Gu Chen said. Wu Ye did appear and saved me when I was in danger." Xiaoxue shook her head, but she still believed that Wu was the incarnation of her mother's soul.

Hearing this, Yichu Guanghong showed an envious look on his face. In fact, his and Xiaoxue's experiences were somewhat similar. They both lost their mothers when they were young, but he was luckier than Xiaoxue. After all, he still had a father to raise him.

After listening to Gu Chen's words, Hayata Susumu, Arashi Daisuke and others also expressed sympathy for Xiaoxue.

But even so, the existence of witches still needs to be dealt with. You can't just leave it alone, right?

So, Daisuke Lan looked at Gu Chen and said, "Counsellor, how do you plan to deal with this witch?"

"That's what I thought..." As he said that, Gu Chen glanced at Xiaoxue beside him and hesitated to speak.

Xiaoxue looked at Gu Chen in confusion, not understanding why he looked at her like this.

"It's just that if I follow my ideas, Xiaoxue may never see a witch." After thinking about it, Gu Chen said truthfully.

Hearing this, Xiaoxue's expression changed drastically. Huo Ran stood up and asked loudly: "Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt the witch? How could you go back on your word?!"

"Xiaoxue, calm down. I didn't say I wanted to hurt Wu. My idea was to let you move out of here and live in a big city." Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly explained.

Xiaoxue was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Move out here? But what does this have to do with me never being able to see Wu?"

"The reason why the witch appeared was because he sensed that you were in danger, Xiaoxue. On the other hand, as long as your situation is very safe, the witch wouldn't have appeared, right?" Gu Chen analyzed.

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoxue thought about it, and it seemed that she was indeed in danger when she met Wu.

Just like their first meeting, when Xiaoxue strayed into the mountains and forests alone and was chased by wild beasts living in the mountains and forests. At the critical moment, it was the appearance of the witch that scared away the beasts.

From that time on, Xiaoxue had a connection with the witch. Whenever Xiaoxue was in danger, as long as she called the witch, the witch would appear to help Xiaoxue out of danger.

Xiaoxue never called for witches when she had nothing to do, because she also knew that the existence of witches would be feared and rejected by people, so when Gu Chen said this, she might never see witches again.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxue couldn't help but fell silent and sat back on the sofa silently.

Gu Chen glanced at Xiaoxue, then looked at Susumu Hayata and others, and said, "I remember that Team Kurt has a charity under its name. Can you help Xiaoxue settle in Tokyo in their name and provide financial support? What about until she grows up and has the ability to live independently?"

"Yes, and it's not difficult to do, but..." Shin Hayata nodded. Team Kurt does have a charity under its name and can do what Gu Chen said, but the key to all this is not just For Team Cote, we still have to see what Xiaoxue wants.

Gu Chen also understood this, so he turned around and looked at Xiaoxue and said, "Xiaoxue, what do you think?"

"I...I don't know." Xiaoxue was stunned when she heard this and said bluntly.

She had no reluctance to leave the village where she had lived for 15 years, but she was reluctant to let go of the witch, especially after knowing that the witch was the soul of her mother.

"Xiaoxue, I know you are very reluctant to let go of witches, but if witches continue to exist, I think it is not something your mother wants to see, because it means that you will always be in danger and will not live a happy life. Life." Gu Chen looked at Xiaoxue's appearance and began to persuade her.

"I think the reason why Wu exists is because she is worried about you when you are young and worries that you will not live well in this world. But on the other hand, if you live a healthy and happy life and have a bright future , can’t witches also become Buddhas, ascend to heaven, and be reincarnated again? You don’t want your mother’s soul to continue to exist as a witch. Wouldn’t that make you both mother and daughter too pitiful?”

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, why not just listen to me? At least it can help your mother's soul rest in peace, right?"

After listening to Gu Chen's words, Xiaoxue nodded slowly and said, "Then...then I will follow your arrangements, brother Gu Chen."

Hearing this, a chuckle appeared on Gu Chen's face. This was the best way he could think of to solve the current incident.

After all, it is not realistic at this stage for Xiaoxue and Wu to live together without worry. Someone has to make sacrifices between the two.

Either the two disappear together like in the original work, or Xiaoxue is allowed to start a new life elsewhere, so that Wu can let go of his worries about his daughter and become a Buddha and ascend to heaven.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue, we will arrange everything for you. When the time comes, you will be able to make friends with your own age and start a new life. Presumably, Wu will also feel very relieved by then." Yichu Guanghong followed. .

Mitsuhiro Yichu, who has a similar experience to Xiaoxue, can empathize with Xiaoxue more. He knows how pitiful a childhood without a mother is, so he sympathizes with Xiaoxue even more.

"Yes." Xiaoxue nodded a little cautiously, but after listening to Gu Chen's words, she also decided to start a new life outside. After all, the village she lives in now has not been very friendly to her, and the only friendly one is also in front of her. Died two years ago.

It can be said that Xiaoxue no longer cares about this place, and there is no so-called sadness about leaving home at all.

After finalizing the matter, Susumu Hayata and others contacted Muramatsu Toshio to arrange Xiaoxue's affairs, while Gu Chen and Xiaoxue returned to the village to pack their bags, and then left here early the next morning.

Originally, according to Gu Shen's idea, he would take Xiaoxue away directly and just buy new daily necessities.

But Xiaoxue said that there were some things at home that had to be taken away. They were the relics of the old man who took care of her, as well as the old man's photo and so on, so Gu Chen followed her just in case.

The matter seemed to have been solved satisfactorily here, but no one expected that a drunk hunter in the village fell into a snow pit tonight. That was what the naughty children in the village wanted to do to tease him. A trap set to bully Xiaoxue.

The drunk hunter did not climb out immediately after falling into the snow pit. Instead, he lay there and fell asleep.

And in this deep winter, there was no heating facility. After one night, he would never wake up again.
