C14 (1/2)

When I returned to the room, I was still thinking about what Ah Xue's father had just said.

He was supposed to be human. I noticed a shadow at his feet, though it was faint.

Could it be that he had been possessed by a ghost? It was very possible that he would let Jin Weilong take a look at it tomorrow.

Also, that grey shadow just now, was he really Ah Xue's grandmother?

He could only find out after seeing the old man tomorrow.

The next day, Ah Xue's father knocked on the door and woke him up.

In the living room on the first floor, we had breakfast. Jin Weilong's face was a little pale. I asked him if he had slept soundly yesterday.

He shook his head and said no.

Ah Xue's father suddenly said: ”There are ghosts everywhere on the street tonight, we must not casually go out of the room's door.”

Ah Xue being timid is something that her father immediately stopped talking about, he just told us that after we eat, we can see the old people.

After entering the bedroom on the second floor, the dim light made him feel depressed.

It was daytime now, and the curtains were still drawn.

Ah Xue laid in front of the bed, hugging her grandmother's arm and crying non-stop.

The old lady was in a good mental state. She greeted Jin Weilong and I on one hand and comforted Ah Xue on the other.

He didn't look like he was about to run out of oil.

Jin Weilong suddenly said that he was going to pull the curtains. When he was walking in front, he was suddenly blocked by Ah Xue's father, and said: ”The doctor said that the elder's health is currently not good, and that she cannot see the light.”

Ah Xue said that he wanted to stay here to accompany the old man, and asked Jin Weilong and I if we would be able to leave.

I still clearly remember what happened last night, how could I abandon Ah Xue and leave by myself?

Jin Weilong gave me a look and told me to bring Ah Xue's father away first.

I understood and made an excuse, saying that I was going to the market to buy vegetables and make a good meal at noon.

Ah Xue's father frowned and said, ”The fridge at home has everything.”

I made a few excuses, but he wouldn't leave the room. I knew right away that something was wrong.

Just then, the old lady suddenly spoke out, ”Zhongzheng, go out with Zhang Yu to buy vegetables. You haven't been out for a long time. ”

The old lady's voice was full of vigor, as if she was a young man in her prime. How could it be like this?

However, Jin Weilong's expression suddenly changed, and became somewhat ugly.

Ah Xue's father's real name was Liu Zhong. With an unnatural expression, he said, ”Mom, I'll stay here with you.”

But his voice was still erratic, so weird that I couldn't tell what he was thinking...

The old lady's voice was a bit strict as she said, ”Quickly, go.”

Jin Weilong pulled me along as I quickly left the bedroom. Ah Xue's father followed me out as well.

Jin Weilong said that he was fine, but he had just secretly left a talisman on Ah Xue's body.

I heaved a sigh of relief, but Ah Xue's father and Granny Ah Xue's conversation just now clearly had a big problem.

Ah Xue's father told us that the elderly sometimes have good tempers and sometimes are eccentric. He told us not to mind.

After they left the courtyard, not a single person on the street went out. White lanterns were swaying about, causing people to feel uncomfortable.

He felt that even the scorching sunlight above him would not be able to reach this street.

Jin Weilong asked why there was no one around during the day, while Ah Xue's father answered hesitantly, ”Everyone is at home, it's not time for the event yet.”

This question was asked with patience, so Jin Weilong did not ask anymore.
