C57 (2/2)
”How is it?”
”Let's talk about it when we get back.” I got into the car and went straight to the store. Just as I promised to open the door, I looked at Zhao Ying and asked, ”Didn't you go to find Zhao Ying? How did you come back so quickly?”
”We'll talk about this later. You take care of the shop in front, I'll go to the backyard. There's something I need to do.” I walked straight to the house in the backyard and let Tang Yufeng out. Tang Yu Feng's face was somewhat pale as she sat on a chair, her face devoid of blood.
I reached for a cup, bit my finger and dripped a few drops of blood onto the quilt, then handed it to Tang Yufeng. Looking at her expression, I was really worried. I remember the last time I fought against that evil ghost, she was injured to this extent.
After Tang Yufeng drank my blood, her complexion recovered quite a bit. ”Are you feeling much better?”
Tang Yufeng gently nodded her head and said, ”That ghost is no ordinary ghost. I can't deal with it, so it ran away.”
”What?” ”You can't even deal with him …” When I heard this, it was terrible. As the saying goes, release the tiger and return to the mountain. There will be endless troubles in the future. That ghost still hasn't decided to take revenge on me.
”But you don't have to worry. Although I can't take care of her, there is someone who can take care of her.”
”Who is it?”
”Your good friend Mu Hua!”
I was slightly stunned before I hastily asked, ”Mu Hua?” I feel that she is even more vicious than this evil ghost, what if the two of them join hands to deal with me? ”
”You should take a rest first. I'll take a look at the situation regarding this matter.” Although Zhao Ying didn't notice me just now, if that incense was broken, she would definitely have found out.
”Officials …” Guan Rou and Han Mengchen walked in from the door. I put down the paper in my hand and stuck it into the bag. Then, I walked over to the two of them, who were carrying large bags of stuff.
”Why are you guys here, your illness …” Guan Rou glared at me, telling me to stop talking. I changed the topic, ”Quickly sit down and rest.”
Han Mengchen looked at me doubtfully, ”Didn't you go to look for Zhao Ying? Why are you back so soon?”
I poured two cups of water and gave it to them. Then, I softly said, ”The matter has been settled. That Zhao Ying has a problem. She actually gave us that Jade Bone Brush.”
”Pen? This is the first time I've heard of it.
I frowned and softly said, ”There are evil spirits on that Jade Bone Brush, and their cultivation experience is not shallow.”
Guan Rou doubtfully asked, ”Where did Zhao Ying get this thing?”
”I heard from Fang Ya and Chu Lingyun that it was bought from an antique shop. However, I heard from Zhou Yan that a friend of his gave it to me, and then Zhao Ying took it away.”
However, after Guan Rou's reminder, my eyes lit up. I suddenly remembered that as the saying goes, one must first untie the bell and tie it to someone else. Perhaps, I just need to find the root of the Jade Bone Brush and it will be easy.
”Alright, it's time for me to go back.” Han Mengchen stood up and said softly to Guan Rou.
Guan Rou whispered, ”Why don't you sit for a while longer? Why don't we have lunch together?”
Han Mengchen smiled and said, ”I don't think so. I still have some matters to attend to at school, but the Zhou Yan incident a few days ago caused a huge ruckus. The school wants us teachers to look after the students, afraid that something might happen again.”
”You should go back and take a rest as well. Come back when I go to close the restaurant tonight.” I saw that Guan Rou's expression was a bit ugly. I was afraid that something might have happened to her.
Guan Rou said in a soft voice, ”Alright then. Take care of yourself. If you need anything, just call me.”
I don't know what's going on. It's been a bad year, especially since I came to the city from the countryside. No matter who I know, it doesn't end well for me.
