"I left my phone in Gu Ming's car.”I explained according to Gu Ming's words. I didn't want Cheng Huan to worry about me.
"Hehe, there's a situation. Tell me quickly.”
"I'm already married. What can happen? Don't think too much.”
"Alright, when your husband comes back, you have to invite me to your house as soon as possible. I can't wait to teach him a lesson. How dare he leave you alone at home!”
"Alright, look at how worried you are."
After the phone call with Cheng Huan, my mood improved a lot. I lay on the bed and wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep no matter what.
I've already left the old mansion for three days. I wonder how the Lu family will deal with me if they find out. And Lu Jinhuan, is his injury better?
After staying in the hospital for two days, I was finally discharged.
Gu Ming sent me to the Lu family's villa. I thanked him again. He had been taking care of me for the past two days, so I felt a little guilty.
However, he smiled." There's no need to take such a small matter to heart between friends.”
After watching Gu Ming leave, I turned around and ran towards the old residence. I thought Pei Yuan would wait for me at the entrance of the old residence and give me a good lesson, but the entrance of the old residence was empty. There was not a single person. I heaved a sigh of relief and pushed the door open.
After closing the door, I immediately ran towards the backyard. I knew that I wouldn't be able to see Lu Jinhuan during the day, but for some reason, I just wanted to take a look at the backyard and tell him that I was back.
When I ran to the corridor, I suddenly saw a figure leaning against the wall. Her head was lowered as she sat in the shadows. Her body was flickering as if she would disappear at any moment.
Why was Lu Jinhuan here? It was daytime!
My heart tightened and I hurriedly ran to his side. I reached out to help him, but my hand passed through his body.
I can't touch him!
"What happened? Lu Jinhuan, what's wrong? How can I help you?" I looked at him in a panic. Lu Jinhuan was just a shadow. I couldn't see him clearly or touch him. It made me feel afraid.
Lu Jinhuan raised his head with difficulty and said to me,""Go to the backyard and get a bucket of well water for me. The water can't be exposed to the sun.”
"Alright, I'll go now."
I hurriedly went to get a parasol and a wooden bucket, and found a bundle of rope.
I ran to the backyard and tied the wooden bucket with a rope before putting it into the well. However, the wooden bucket was too heavy. My hand was injured and I had to hold an umbrella with one hand, so there wasn't much water.
I carried half a bucket of water and ran back to the corridor. Lu Jinhuan was already unconscious. I didn't know how to save him. After thinking about it, I carried the bucket and poured the water on him bit by bit.
What surprised me was that the places that had been drenched by the water had really recovered a little. They were no longer as transparent, which gave me a lot of encouragement.
I carried the bucket and held the umbrella. I went back and forth dozens of times. In the end, I had no strength left and had to stop.
Lu Jinhuan's body was no longer flickering. My heart that was hanging high could finally rest. I sat beside him, completely exhausted.
The sun set in the west and the moon hung high in the sky.
The bright moonlight shone into the corridor and onto Lu Jinhuan's pale and cold face. His eyes were closed and his brows were tightly knitted, as if he was in pain.
I couldn't do anything but look at him nervously.
Suddenly, Lu Jinhuan opened his eyes and stared at me with a pair of cold eyes, but he didn't say anything, making me panic.
In the end, I couldn't stand his gaze anymore, so I broke the silence first." Are you feeling better?”
"Yes." he answered simply.
After that, they fell silent again.
A human and a ghost, dead silence.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard Lu Jinhuan's cold voice." I'm going back to the backyard."”
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the backyard. His slender figure walked further and further away, but his voice floated over." You're not in good health. Don't come."”
His tone was still cold, but my heart was filled with warmth.
Looking at the place where he disappeared, I silently recited his name: Lu Jinhuan…
When I returned to my room, I realized that the wound on my wrist had opened up again. The gauze was covered in blood. I changed it into a clean gauze and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, I went out to buy groceries. When I passed by the Lu family's villa, I saw Pei Yuan standing at the door, looking in the direction I was coming from. It seemed that he was waiting for me.
He's finally back. I was just about to look for him.
"Good morning, Mr. Pei." I greeted him politely. After all, I had a favor to ask of him, so it was always right to be polite.
Pei Yuan nodded slightly and said," On the night of the 18th, I sensed that the array in the old mansion was forcefully broken. Do you know what he went out to do?"”
"I don't know." I shook my head. I wasn't at the old mansion on the night of the 18th, so how would I know?
Pei Yuan didn't dwell on this question and asked me again," The resentment in the old mansion has faded a lot these days. Is he injured?”
Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that night by the well, Lu Jinhuan looked at me and his words. I immediately shook my head." No, I saw him last night. There was nothing unusual."”
"Really?" His shrewd eyes looked straight at me, probing with suspicion.
"It's true." I nodded affirmatively, afraid that Pei Yuan would see that I was lying. I hurriedly changed the topic and said,"I'm the one who got into trouble. I was targeted by a female ghost.”
I was about to tell Pei Yuan about the female ghost when I heard him say in a deep voice,"I already know about this matter. I will resolve it. You just have to do your job well. I repeat, try to stay in the old mansion and gain his trust as soon as possible.”
He really kept a close eye on them!
I thanked him and left.
On the way here, I kept thinking about Pei Yuan. Lu Jinhuan was so weak. Was it because he had forcefully broken through the formation? Then what did he do on the night of the 18th? What was it that he had to do that made him so desperate?
No. 18, No. 18…
Number 18!
A sudden thought occurred to me, causing me to stop in my tracks.
I immediately took out my phone and called Gu Ming. As soon as the call was connected, I hurriedly asked,"Gu Ming, when you came to the construction site to save me that night, what was my situation?”
"When I arrived, I saw you being pressed by a ghost to the side of the grave to bleed.”"What's wrong?" Gu Ming asked.”
"It's nothing. I was just asking."
I hung up the phone and laughed at myself. I thought Lu Jinhuan broke through the formation to save me, how naive was I?
But why am I so disappointed…
As she continued walking, her phone suddenly rang again. It was Gu Ming again.
The call went through, and his gentle voice came through." I forgot to tell you just now. The zombie at the construction site has run away. He drank your blood and might come looking for you, so be careful and try not to go out. If there's something important that you have to go out for, just call me. But don't worry too much. I'll hurry up and find him.”
