”Actually, when Jin Weilong first arrived, he was already crying tears in my eyes, so I saw a lot of things.” After Ah Xue heard what I said, she curiously looked at my eyes. However, after looking for a long time, she was probably unable to see any differences between my eyes.
So she said in disappointment: ”What's the use of saying all these now, Jin Weilong already left, he probably doesn't have any ability, and can't solve my family's problem, and doesn't want to ruin the signboard, so he ran off without even saying goodbye!”
I did not make a sound, and only felt that there was something wrong with the middle of it, but I did not realize it yet, so I went on to explain around Jin Weilong: ”Maybe you guessed right, your father is already dead, but I do not understand the Taoism Arts, and do not know why his soul is still here, but I think it has something to do with the lanterns outside.”
Wu wu wu …
Right at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew outside the window. The cold wind carried countless pieces of sand and stones as it slammed against the window, emitting a whooshing sound, as if there were countless evil spirits shrieking their hearts out.
”Zhang Yu, I'm so scared. Is the window closed?” After Ah Xue heard this voice, she scuttled into my arms like a frightened little rabbit, and asked while trembling in fear.
I touched her soft hair and nodded my head. ”Don't worry and close the window. Don't be afraid. Even your father and grandmother aren't ….” I believe they will not harm you! ”
After saying this sentence, I was a little regretful. As expected, after Ah Xue heard these words, the tears that I had dried previously flowed again.
I sighed helplessly, and continued: ”Right now, we don't know anything, but the only person who knows about all these, Jin Weilong, suddenly left, but you can rest assured that I will think of a way to investigate this matter, it is already midnight, you should rest, don't let your father and grandmother see what you know.”
After Ah Xue heard what I said, she unwillingly nodded her head and laid on the bed. I also took off my clothes and lied beside her.
Early morning of the next day, Ah Xue's father came to call us for breakfast. Ah Xue carefully painted some makeup to cover up her dark circles before following me out of the bedroom.
Ah Xue went to the kitchen to help first, while my grandmother told me to go to the dining hall to chat with her. Thinking back to the scene in the middle of the night, my heart immediately twitched, but I still walked over mechanically.
Originally, every time I see Ah Xue's grandmother, we would always chat for a long time, but now, every time I see Ah Xue's grandmother, I feel a chill in my heart, and I'm so scared that I don't even have the time to adjust my hands.
Fortunately, the meal started in a few minutes. I heaved a sigh of relief as we sat at the dining table, focusing on our meal. We both had our heads lowered, trying our best not to look at each other.
The atmosphere became extremely depressing until Ah Xue's grandmother laughed and said, ”Originally, I called you back because of my illness, but now that I'm sick, Xiao Yu still has work to do in Beijing, so you should return as soon as possible!”
I just ate a mouthful of mantou and almost choked in my throat. I hastily turned around to look at Ah Xue and saw that Ah Xue was also looking at me.
