C9 (2/2)

I bit my lower lip on the spot and muttered to myself, ”I don't know how to …”

I quickly dismissed my earlier speculation.

This wasn't a butcher's job.

After all, for the past few days, the butcher has been busy doing all sorts of things. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to get out of that predicament.

That is to say, if he really plans on harming us, then given my grandmother and I, these two ordinary people, we wouldn't be able to withstand him.

Thinking about this, I dispelled my suspicions towards Butcher Liu.

And at the same time, since the 'black hand' behind his back isn't him, is he sincerely helping our people?

When I thought about my grandma's terrible complexion just now, I was really worried that something would happen to my grandma after Second Uncle.

As a result, it was hard for me to remain seated here. While the sky was still dark, I mustered my courage and ran towards the home of the butcher, Liu.

Actually, the reason why I was so bold as to run here in the dark was because of my boldness.

There were two reasons. One was because of Grandma.

The other reason was that I was extremely afraid that the pervert would return. If he came to harass me again at night, I really didn't know what to do. I might really get dirty by that thing …

Thinking about this, I emphasized the idea of finding Butcher Liu.

It was like a sick patient who had placed all his hopes of survival on the doctor. At this moment, I was the patient.

Soon, I arrived at the door of Butcher Liu's house.

This time, I easily knocked on his door.

”Little boy? ”What, something happened at home again?” The butcher asked curiously.

I quickly shook my head and shook out two pigtails from under my hat.

I quickly stuffed it back in and said, ”Nothing happened. I just …”

Butcher Liu saw that I wanted to say something, but stopped me in my tracks. He looked outside and said, ”Come in to speak.”

I was pulled in by him, and then Butcher Liu asked me, ”Okay, go ahead.”

Within Butcher Liu's house, there was no light. It was so dark it was terrifying. What was even more frightening was that he lit a white candle and placed it on the square table of the Eight Immortals. This way, it would be even more frightening …

Fortunately, after experiencing so many things in the past few days, my courage has increased quite a bit.

At this moment, my voice trembles as I voice out the worries in my heart.

Butcher Liu patted my head. ”I didn't expect this little boy to be such a filial child. Don't worry, your grandma will be fine.”

When I heard what Butcher Liu said, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

However, I was still a little worried. I wanted to ask Butcher Liu why his book had our family's name on it …

He had only thought that the book was hidden in such a secret location. It was certain that he did not want to reveal anyone's secrets.

So I had to put up with it and I said, ”Well... What about that ghost? If I meet him again, what should I do? ”

Butcher Liu smiled and said, ”Take this, this is the Pig Slaughtering Knife. This is what I use to kill pigs. It's very heavy and you wouldn't dare touch any dirty stuff. Now you can relax.”

With this, I had more or less found something to rely on.

”Thank you, Uncle Liu. When I earn money in the future, I'll buy you a new Pig Slaughtering Knife.” ”No,” I said.

Butcher Liu laughed, but didn't say anything. As the sky started to darken, I was a bit worried, so I hurried back.

When he came back, his grandmother leaned against the door and looked around.

As I came running up to her, she asked, ”Where have you been, little boy?”

I didn't tell Grandma that I was going to find Butcher Liu, but said, ”Nothing, I went out for a walk. Alright, Grandma, let's go back.”

I went up to pull Grandma, but after pulling her a bit, I didn't pull.

”Grandma?” I asked.

Grandma still pressed herself against the door and looked outside, saying, ”Little boy, go and see why your father isn't back yet. The food is getting cold.”

I made an 'oh' and jumped out again.

But I had only taken a few steps when I realized that I didn't know where my father had gone.

Then he turned to his grandmother.

Grandma said she wanted me to go to Second Uncle's grave to have a look.

In the middle of the night, I don't know what my grandmother was thinking, but she actually wanted me to go to Second Uncle's grave.

However, it soon occurred to me that perhaps because Grandma was old, I couldn't blame her for this. Thus, at this moment, I could only follow Grandma's orders.

Nightfall had arrived, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Although I wasn't holding a flashlight, it was a good thing that the crescent moon was hanging in midair. Furthermore, on the mountain road, where there were often people walking on it, it would light up, while those places where no one was walking on would be dark. That way, I could see a small path winding in front of me.

Following this small path, I hastily ran. When I reached Second Uncle's grave, I discovered that something was amiss.

I clearly remember that in the cove where Second Uncle is, there are weeds that are as tall as a person everywhere. But now, with a glance, those weeds have disappeared and actually turned into a lush green lawn. Moreover, this lawn is very neatly trimmed.

In the middle of this verdant grass was a small grave. This grave was extremely exquisite, all of it built with stones of the same size. At a glance, it seemed to be a work of art.

I could hardly believe my eyes. Did I walk out of the illusion at night? Otherwise, how could something like this happen?

Thinking about this question, I was filled with intense curiosity as I groped my way through step by step.

As I approached, I realized that it was all true.

The grave was real, and so was the grass.

It's just that I don't understand, when Second Uncle was buried, I was there. That wasn't the case.

Just as I was about to escape this strange place, I accidentally saw a stone tablet in front of this grave.
