C63 (1/2)

After hearing what she said, I couldn't help but come to a realization.

So it was like this.

But even so, there didn't seem to be anything worth hiding, right? After all, it didn't seem like such a shameful thing to me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little astonished.

At the same time, the uncle in the yard shouted, ”What the hell are you doing, kid! You can't do your homework anymore!”

”Washing vegetables. Alright, I'm almost done.”

At that moment, my uncle walked in and said to me, ”Little boy, let me burn it. When you don't come, your aunt will bully me and make me burn it. Now that you've come, why are you bullying me? This won't do.”

Even though I said it was fine, he still stole my position.

With this, it wouldn't be good for me to ask my aunt any further.

When we reached the courtyard, I saw that it was already late, so I said goodbye.

My aunt wouldn't let us leave no matter what. After all, we came all the way here, and if we didn't eat and go back, she would feel bad.

And his uncle said the same.

However, I had my reasons for persuading them. I immediately said, ”It will be dark soon. I can't go back too late for something to happen at home these few days. I'll have my meal the next time I come.”

Hearing my words, the two of them could only sigh and no longer had any intentions of trying to persuade me to stay.

After all, the two of them know about what happened at my house, so they can't say much in this situation.

In this way, I couldn't help but walk back with Tang Ran.

After walking for a short while, the night sky completely descended. At a glance, it was pitch black everywhere. Even though there was a faint moonlight, one's line of sight was still greatly affected.

At this moment, Tang Ran whispered to me, ”How is it? Did you ask?”

I immediately nodded my head.

”What did your aunt say?” Tang Ran asked.

I promised my aunt that I couldn't tell anyone about this.

Thus, at this moment, I was still somewhat conflicted about this matter.

Under such circumstances, I couldn't help but mumble to myself.

Seeing me like this, Tang Ran couldn't help but say, ”There's nothing to be anxious about. You can speak slowly.”

But this cannot be said.

Just as I was at a loss over this, in the darkness, I seemed to see something move.

After realising this, I immediately stopped and my eyes couldn't help but widen.

At the same time, Tang Ran also noticed this person.

After taking a glance, he directly said, ”Chase!”

As he spoke, he took the lead and gave chase.

I didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest. At this moment, I also followed behind him.

When the two of us got a little closer, I discovered that the person who was secretly following us was actually my second uncle.

At first, I was surprised.

He immediately wanted to catch up and capture his second uncle to see what was going on. He was actually able to move freely like a living person.

However, when the two of us went over, I discovered that Second Uncle seemed to have received some sort of instruction. He did not wait for us to get close. He quickly charged into the darkness and disappeared very quickly.

He was extremely fast, and for a time, Tang Ran and I were unable to catch up. Thus, we could only watch as he disappeared into the night.

After reading up to this point, I couldn't help but ask, ”Tell me, now that they know that we're looking for Aunt, will they make a move against Aunt?”

Now I have discovered that everyone I came into contact with is dead. Widow Wang, Uncle Liu, the butcher Liu, they all helped me, but they all died very quickly.

That's why right now, my aunt is involved in the matter of buying a coffin, so at the same time, I'm very worried if my aunt will be involved in this as well.

Under the circumstances, I couldn't help but be very worried.

At the same time, Tang Ran said, ”Your aunt isn't a simple person, so you don't have to worry about her.”

Although Tang Ran had already said so, I was still quite worried in my heart.

After all, my aunt's family looks so harmonious, I don't want her to be involved in anything because of me.

However, in this situation, even if I was worried, it would be of no use. After all, my ability is limited, and I can't even take care of myself properly, let alone others.

During the rest of the journey, Tang Ran seemed to be worried that someone would eavesdrop on our conversation. After all, no one knew what was hidden in the darkness. Under such circumstances, Tang Ran would naturally remain silent.

We didn't say anything on the way home. When we got home, it was already around nine o'clock.

Although my father was not well, he was still sitting in the yard waiting for us when we came back, out of worry.

It wasn't until we returned that he heaved a sigh of relief. With my support, he returned to his room.
