After the child finished eating the bun, he opened his mouth.
”I heard from the elders that there was once a tragedy in this town.” His words were clear.
”A tragedy?” Yun Luo was shocked. No wonder this place was so lifeless. However, logically speaking, there should be tragedies everywhere, so why did it become like this? There must be a deeper reason for this.
”Yes.” The boy nodded.
”Then can you tell me what kind of tragedy it was? Who's it to do with? ” Yun Luo thought that even though she didn't have the ability to change the situation, she could still figure out the sequence of events. She might as well stay here and do something.
”I can't remember. I'm still so young, so I don't understand a lot of things.” The little boy pursed his lips.
Yun Luo could only sigh after hearing this. Sigh, she really shouldn't make things difficult for an innocent child, it seems like she should find someone else to ask.
”Then where does the old man you're talking about live?” Yun Luo asked.
The child pointed and said, ”Walk along this road and past a medicinal shop. Then turn two corners. The poorest one is the one with the surname Xie.”
The road has been pointed out, and Cloudfall set off.
Nangong Yu asked from behind, ”Aren't you afraid that if you find out the truth, you'll attract a fatal disaster?”
Yun Luo did not care, ”Let's not talk about whether there are ghosts or not, even if there are, they might not be able to kill me. Aren't you curious about what is going on?”
People always had a special preference for gossip and gossip. They would feel uncomfortable if they didn't investigate it clearly, even if it had nothing to do with them.
”I shall sacrifice my life to accompany you then.” Nangong Yu smiled coyly.
Wherever she went, he would follow her. He would resolve her troubles and accompany her to experience the warmth and coolness of the world. This was love.
”Right, this is my good husband.” Yun Luo held onto her umbrella as she slowed down. Nangong Yu followed behind, and the two of them walked side by side, looking for the 'Granny Xie' that the child had mentioned.
Nanny Xie was blind, and there were no superfluous people in her house. Usually, she would rely on the alms of neighbors to lead a miserable life.
”All the outsiders love to ask about this. Now that I think about it, it has already been thirty years.” Grandma Xie sighed.
”Grandma, please tell me.” Yun Luo's tone was respectful.
Grandma Xie revealed a troubled expression. ”But this old woman doesn't dare to say. This town has been cursed before, and it's bad luck. If I do, I'm afraid that the vengeful spirit will pester you and cause you all to be unable to live a peaceful life.”
”However, we have come here specifically to inquire about this matter. Granny Xie, if you don't tell me, I'm afraid that in the future, I will be too preoccupied to sleep, and the situation might become even worse.” Yun Luo smiled helplessly, ”Please speak, we will bear the rest.”
