C35 (1/2)

To be suddenly slapped from behind was, for me, a very frightening thing.

You know, we just saw, in my father's bed, no one, that is to say, he is not at home, so who is this person who suddenly slapped him in the back?

Terrified, I craned my neck to look over my shoulder.

”Why did you come to my room in the middle of the night if you aren't going to sleep?”

As I turned my head, I heard voices.

This voice was very familiar. It belonged to his father.

I turned and saw it was him.

At this moment, my father, bare-chested and confused, looked at me.

For a moment, I didn't know how to explain myself. I was so scared that I curled up into a ball, not knowing what to do.

When Don saw me like this, he pulled me back into the room without a word.

After returning home, I became even more doubtful.

There was only one way to get back to the village from the tomb of Old Wang. If it really was Father who interrupted our summoning ceremony, then there was no way he would be at home right now.

But on the way back, we didn't see a single person, and we were so fast that there was no reason for Father to get home before us.

From this, it could be determined that it was not his father who had done the deed.

Tang Ran was confused as he said, ”What is going on? What the hell is going on?” At this time, even he could not understand what was going on.

And I understand his doubts.

He smiled bitterly and said, ”There is only one way back to the village. My father is at home now, so there is only one possibility. The one who interrupted the ceremony is not my father.”

When I said that.

Tang Ran was even more puzzled now.

He immediately said, ”But in this matter, there are only two people who are worried about being exposed. One of them is your father, and the other one, is Old Wang. But Old Wang died, so the only person who worries about being exposed is your father.”

Although Tang Ran's deduction was very reasonable, judging from his father's safe and sound home, it seemed that his plan had failed.

I immediately sighed and said, ”But you also saw that the situation is slightly different from what you imagined.”

Tang Ran scratched his head before saying helplessly, ”Right now, your father isn't willing to tell you the truth, but before this old man can explain it clearly, he broke down. If you want to know more, you can only find out from your neighbors.”

I knew what he meant, but it was too late now.

At once I sent him to the guest room to sleep, and I lay down on the bed to rest.

After tormenting myself for an entire day, I was tired as well. There was something on my mind. I tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.

Time passed quickly.

On the second day, I felt more and more convinced towards the solution that Donglan had told me about last night.

When I got up and saw that my father had picked a lot of vegetables from the backyard, I thought he was going to cook for us in the morning.

Unexpectedly, he hurried out with a bunch of vegetables. As for where he went, I don't know.

Thus, I had to personally cook.

After finishing his meal, it was already around 8 o'clock. Coincidentally, his father had just returned.

At dinner, when I saw my father, I remembered the things he had kept from me.

So after breakfast, the two of us hurried out of the house.

Unlike the city, the countryside was a rural area where almost everyone in the village knew each other. Family members and family members were always talking to each other, even if the two families didn't have the slightest connection, they would still know each other's family background. After all, in the countryside, there were no other entertainment activities.

What happened in my house was not a small matter. Thus, it would definitely cause quite a sensation in the village.

Besides, our village isn't very big. I know about most of the people in the village, so I think that there is a high chance that someone knows about what happened in our family.

At this point, my first thought was to ask my grandmother.

However, I feel that this matter is not a good thing. Even if I were to ask her, she would not speak of it.

When I thought about it, I remembered a person who was about the same age as my grandmother. They had a good relationship, and the two of them often called each other sisters, so according to seniority, when I met her, I would call her Old Aunt.

This old aunt was already over 80 years old. When she was young, she gave birth to a pair of children. Her old wife died in a car accident at such a young age.

Now that their children had grown up, they all had the ability to work in the provincial capital. Having a house and a car was very grand.

It was just that the old aunt was old and had lived in the countryside all her life.

She had lived in this small village for her entire life, and she had become familiar with every blade of grass and tree in the village, so she had insisted on living at home. And just like that, she became a lonesome old man.
