C41 (2/2)

Lingling followed behind me, seemingly not afraid at all, and did not see the scene just now.

There are things in the village that only I seem to be able to see, and I don't know why.

And only I can see that, and sometimes not.

However, I vaguely feel that this isn't a good thing. In such a tense situation, there is something special about it.

I stood in the doorway for a long time, thinking that the ghost of my adoptive father might harm me.

Right now, Soul Return Night had already passed. Soul Return Night was very calm, and the two paper men that were always in the room had their heads burnt on that day.

It was my wish.

Although it was not peaceful when he went to the grave in the morning, it was fortunate that nothing happened during the night when he recovered his soul.

I thought I would only be able to see my adoptive father in my dreams after I had been able to calm down for a while.

When I thought about it, after my foster father died, his soul protected me.

I wasn't sure if it was his ghost, or if it was meant to protect me, but so far there was only one explanation.

And it protected me more than once.

Moreover, since the evil ghost is suddenly leading the way, I should take a look. Maybe I can catch some clues?

Maybe there was something else my adoptive father wanted to tell me?

Thinking of this, I turned to Lingling behind me and said:

”Lingling, big sister is going to do something very dangerous, do you want to go with big sister?”

Originally, I didn't want to bring Lingling along with me on this dangerous trip, but since it's night time, Lingling definitely isn't willing to stay at home.

Secondly, she might not be safe alone at home. After careful deliberation, I decided to respect her opinion.

Sure enough, Lingling nodded.

”Then you need to be more quick-witted, okay? If Big Sis wants you to run, then hurry up and run in the direction of your home. ”

He had to give Lingling a reminder first. After all, he had to be wary of all possibilities.

After instructing Lingling, I stood up and opened the door.

I knew that my foster father's soul should be outside the courtyard.

As expected, the moment I opened the door, I saw the back of my foster father, dressed in paper clothes, walking forward.

I could hear the wind blowing around me like ghosts crying, giving me an inexplicable feeling of fear.

The figure in front doesn't look to be walking very fast, but no matter how fast Lingling and I are, it's as though we can't catch up.

It was weird. I frowned and ran forward.

I have recently frequently brought Lingling on mountain paths, and I am already more able to endure hardships.

At this moment, my stamina had also increased.

Maybe it has something to do with my mental state. Lingling said that I don't look as weak as before.

Lingling and I followed closely behind, but we were still a distance away from that figure. At this moment, we were already at the mountain base.

It was at this moment that the adoptive father suddenly disappeared …

It suddenly disappeared, as if it had gone into the deep darkness of the night.

I frowned. Is this where my foster father wanted to bring me? There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

I took a deep breath and looked around. Why... Would they let me come to such a place?

I was a little doubtful and frowned. I tightly grabbed onto Lingling's hand, afraid that Lingling would scatter with me.

There were still traces of fog tonight, but it was not particularly thick, and he could still see his surroundings.

The foster father just disappeared into thin air, as if he was playing with us.

At this moment, I felt a little apprehensive, afraid that something would suddenly appear beside me …

At this time, they were near the roots of the mountain, surrounded by fields planted by their families. At this moment, the wind was blowing gently.

The sound of the wind blending in with the noise made me uneasy.

The surroundings were incomparably spacious and scattered with simple and crude buildings that were like awnings. When the villagers were busy with farming, they would take a break in these simple and crude buildings.

Just as I was looking for my adoptive father to bring me here for what, a metal clanging sound suddenly rang out.

This sound was exceptionally ear-piercing in the night. I didn't even think before heading towards the direction of the sound!
