C80 (2/2)

”No, I haven't seen him for a long time.”

I answered truthfully.

It's impossible to pretend that you don't know Liu Qing right now, it's even more fake this way. I'm thinking about what I should say if New Village Head continues to question me.

The village chief silently nodded his head and said:

”Don't misunderstand, I actually don't have any hatred towards this person.

Like I said, although he killed my father, my father is indeed a bastard who deserves death.

If Miss Xiao Die ever sees him, help me to tell him. At least I want to meet him … ”

I didn't ask any further questions, which was inconceivable to me, but I didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

The village chief continued to walk in the direction of Er Nao's home.

What was he planning? How much did he know?

It made me feel even more uneasy.

However, in this situation, the more he talked, the easier it would be for mistakes to occur. It might bring about his own death.

The village chief walked towards Er Nao's home, while I brought Lingling and walked towards the direction of our home.

When I got home, I locked the door from the inside, as if someone really wanted to take my life.

Afterwards, I sat on the kang and thought over what had happened, going through everything that had happened half a year ago and now.

There were some things that could be inserted, but there were still some things that did not make sense.

The thing that made me most suspicious was the secret of the village. Aside from the mother and son pair, could there be other vengeful spirits surrounding the village?

And the foster father, the man I saw who looked exactly like the foster father, who was he?

Even with the foundation of the Evil Theurgy, I still cannot believe that a person can come back to life.

However, this person seemed to know a lot of things that happened between me and my foster father. Moreover, isn't the fact that he has the same face already puzzling me?

The person who dug up the grave that night was basically him.

Then, since this person could not be the adoptive father, when did he come to the village? What was his purpose in coming to the village?

He will use the knowledge in the entire Evil Theurgy, and will even guide me to dig up the grave of my mother.

He was obviously part of the plan, and probably someone who knew.

As I thought about it, I laid down on the brick bed, where Lingling had already fallen asleep beside me.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such ups and downs, and he had been in peace for almost half a year. Now that such a sudden situation had occurred, some mental exhaustion was unavoidable.

When I saw Lingling quietly falling asleep, I smiled slightly. Luckily, these things did not leave too much of a shadow on her.

Although Lingling is strong and optimistic, she is still a child after all. I am also very vexed if she sees these things.

But since she was with me, there were times when these things were inevitable.

I deliberately avoided it, but I couldn't avoid all of it.

Seeing that Lingling had fallen asleep, I faintly smiled and lightly patted Lingling's body. It seemed that I was talking to myself, or perhaps muttering to myself:

”I've been wondering, is my dad a good person or a bad person?

To me, he did a lot of cruel things, and I did hate him, hated him since he was a kid, and deeply hated him.

But now that he's dead, and recalling all the things he did, I find that he did a lot of what a father should have done in some of the details.

Ever since Aunt Zhang died, did he take me as his daughter?

If not, why protect me?

If so, why mistreat me? ”

After saying that, I let out a long sigh. My voice actually started trembling.

Maybe it was because I was too emotional, but my eyes were actually a little moist.

Why is it moist? I don't really understand, could it be … Was it because of longing?

How could I miss my adoptive father...

As I spoke, I felt as though I was lost. I narrowed my eyes slightly, but there were still tears flowing down from the corners of my eyes.
