How I Survived in Transmigration with My Ghost Hubby

5. Are You a Human or a Ghost?

Translator: Annsmiley

Ji Ran fell so hard that he found himself unable to move. He lay down there on the ground for a long time. And thanks to the fact that the flooring wasn’t cement or stone tiles that were ubiquitous in modern times, he didn’t end up having a concussion, but unfortunately, his waist was still injured.

Damn it…

The people who lived here weren’t friendly to him, but the cat they raised was even worse!

“Why are you lying on the ground?”

Ji Ran was staring at the sky, feeling hopeless, and suddenly, a boy with snot hanging out of his nose came into Ji Ran’s sight.

“I’m asking you!” The boy’s snot almost dropped into his mouth and suddenly, he sucked it back into his nose. But before he held it in, the snot fell out again. With a half-eaten raw sweet potato in his hand, he looked down at Ji Ran. “It rained the whole night last night, and the ground is muddy. So are you! Oh, I got it. You’re my oldest uncle’s newlywed wife, my new ‘auntie’, right? You’re an adult but you’re lying on the ground like a child who is throwing a tantrum. Shame on you. ‘Auntie’, you’re too messy!”

The boy made the “shame on you” hand gesture and was ready to run away.

Finally Ji Ran save someone alive, so how could he let the boy run away without asking him some questions? He extended his hand and grabbed the boy’s ankle, “Wait a minute. Can’t you see that I fell down? Can you help me get up? I’ve injured my waist.”

“Nope!” The boy kicked hard. “I don’t want to help you, You’re too dirty! Let go of me! Father! Mother! ”

The boy was struggling hard. Although Ji Ran wanted his questions to be answered and he wanted the boy to help him stand up, he couldn’t possibly do that if the boy was freaked out, so he let go of him. And the moment he did that, the boy ran away like wind.

F*ck!

In a situation like this, apart from swearing, Ji Ran didn’t know what else he could say.

Since no one was there to help him, he could only rely on himself.

Ji Ran planned to wait until it didn’t hurt so much and then he would try to stand up, but as he was thinking about it, a person squatted down beside him. And with one hand holding Ji Ran’s armpit and the other hand supporting Ji Ran’s knees, that person carried him up.

It seemed that not all of them were heartless.

As Ji Ran thought so, he was ready to express his gratitude, but when he saw the man who was carrying him, he was instantly shocked.

“You, you, you, you…”

“Lu Zhen,” Lu Zhen lowered his head and looked calmly at Ji Ran who, unable to talk fluently, was staring at him in shock. Then he turned around and walked towards their yard with Ji Ran in his arms.

Although Ji Ran didn’t want to, he still instinctively raised his hands to wrap around Lu Zhen’s neck. His eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating fast. He felt that if he opened his mouth, his heart might leap out of his throat.

“You… Who are you?” A long time passed before Ji Ran asked in a trembling voice.

“Don’t you already know?” Lu Zhen walked forward with a poker face and asked without answering Ji Ran’s question.

“Do, do I…?” Hearing that, Ji Ran felt like his whole body was trembling with fear. Subconsciously, he rubbed his hands, which were around Lu Zhen’s neck, and pressed them against Lu Zhen’s skin to see if it was warm.

It was cold!

Ji Ran was about to cry, but as a man, he couldn’t allow himself to do that.

“Oh, I remember it now. You said it before. Your name is Lu Zhen, haha.” Ji Ran’s teeth were trembling but he pretended that he was not scared and that he knew nothing about what Lu Zhen really was. However, his eyes wandered around and he didn’t have the courage to look at Lu Zhen’s face.

“Mhm,” The corners of Lu Zhen’s mouth turned up. “Your husband.”

Ji Ran felt like that something had just exploded in his head.

“You, you, you…aren’t you dead? I, I, I, I… Aren’t I married to a spirit tablet? Are you a human or a ghost?” Ji Ran couldn’t remain stiff anymore. He was still held by Lu Zhen but his whole body trembled violently. Even his lips were trembling and his whole face turned pale.

However, Lu Zhen didn’t answer him his questions directly, “Take a guess.”

“I, I, I… I hope that I can pass out,” Ji Ran wanted to cry but he couldn’t. He fell so hard onto the ground and now he was extremely frightened. So why hadn’t he fainted like it was written in the novels or like it was shown in the TV series?!

“Oh?” Lu Zhen lowered his head and raised his eyebrow with a faint smile. “Then, just do it. Or do you need my help with it?”

“How can you help me?”

The moment Ji Ran asked that question, he regretted it. Would Lu Zhen try to make him pass out by scaring him with an unusually long tongue?

Fortunately, Lu Zhen didn’t do that. He just said flatly, “I can make you fall again, but this time with your head down. And you’ll definitely pass out when you hit the ground.”

Ji Ran, “…”
