C14 (2/2)

Am I going to die here today?

I had an idea and looked at the ghost in red.

”My wife!” Can you not fall for his trap? ”Think about it, if I, as a man, am split into two from the middle, I will immediately die. If I lose my popularity, I won't be able to warm you up.

The red-robed ghost girl was startled, and stared at Zhao Quan'er with eyes that seemed to be filled with rage.

”What my husband said makes sense. You brat, you really have no good intentions. If you ruin my good plan, then you can't.”

The two ghosts started fighting again. This fight didn't matter, the sky was simply overcast and the ground was dark. The two ghosts fought too hard, and I don't know how they managed to let go of me.

Plop!

The soft mud was beneath me, and the flashlight shone brightly. The old woman had woken up long ago and was standing in the pit, staring at me. Her eyes were very nervous.

”Old granny!” You! ”You're awake.”

I don't know how this damnable old lady can fight with me, but I'm not afraid of her. She's a dead old lady, and I can't beat the evil spirits outside, so how can I not beat her?

The Grand Matriarch didn't ask me anything. She stared at the canopy above her, and the sounds of the fighting outside seemed to be gone.

”This is bad!” They're coming in. ”

The Grand Matriarch cried out in alarm. She quickly grabbed the red rope around her neck and lifted it up. The red rope was torn apart, revealing a yellow paper charm inside.

She opened the rune, and the palm-sized rune had a red cinnabar mark on it. I don't know what that was, but she slammed the rune against the cover, and suddenly the wind stopped.

I seemed to understand what was going on. I believe that rune could drive out ghosts. Otherwise, the red-clothed female ghost and Zhao Quan wouldn't have left just like that.

”Grand Matriarch, don't pretend to be a good person. You're also trying to save yourself, aren't you?”

I scoffed. I didn't expect this old thing to still be in suspense. It looked as if I was grateful.

The Grand Matriarch sighed. She looked at the charm, but it didn't drop. She seemed to be relieved.

”Child! Are you stupid! If I want to protect myself, I can wear a charm on my body. Why did I pull it off and stick to it? ”

The Grand Matriarch's expression was extremely unsightly. She was like a wronged child whose tears were actually contained in her eyes. Her rosy eyes seemed as if they were about to shed tears at any moment.

I was stunned. This damnable old lady, is she still acting like this?

But she felt that something wasn't right. She could pretend to be dead now and wait for me to be killed by a ghost. Wasn't saving me now just meddling in other people's business? Wouldn't it make things even more difficult for her if I were still alive?

Soo Soo told me that the Grand Matriarch was a bad person. However, this was clearly not the case, but Soo Soo was not a bad person either. If she wanted to harm me, why would she save me?

”Old granny!” ”Let's find Soo Soo to clarify the matter. Why did you take Soo Soo's indenture contract? Is it to sell money to Fifth Master Zhao?”

I said it directly, sparing her the time to lie.

The Grand Matriarch froze for a moment, then her eyes darted around as if she had thought of something.

”It seems that Soo Soo has tricked you again. She took away the white silk that she used to hang herself. It is not some indenture contract at all.”

What?

White silk?

I immediately remembered what my father had told me. He had told me that Soo Soo had long been hanged. If what his mother said was a lie, could what his father said was also a lie?

I was trying to figure out who really lived there when I heard a cock crowing outside, wow, wow, and then all the big roosters in the village started crowing.
