"Okay, I got it. Thank you."
As soon as I hung up the phone, I frowned worriedly. Pei Yuan had just promised to help me deal with the female ghost, and now there was a zombie. What kind of grudge did he have?
I sighed heavily. I took a bus to the nearest market and hurriedly bought some vegetables. While waiting for the bus, I received a call from Cheng Huan.
"Xiao Yan, I'm resting tomorrow. I want to go to your house to play with you.”
I bit my lip awkwardly. The Lu family's old residence was not a fun place. Moreover, I was only staying there for the night. I didn't dare to bring anyone back to play.
Besides, with Cheng Huan's personality, if she knew my address, she would have to run to the old mansion every few days. By then, not only would the Lu family be unhappy, but Lu Jinhuan would also be in trouble. In order not to anger the Lu family and for Cheng Huan's safety, I couldn't let her come to the old mansion.
After some thought, I suggested,"I'm bored to death staying at home every day. Let's go shopping."”
"I'll listen to you. I'll see you at the pedestrian street at ten tomorrow morning.”
Cheng Huan hung up the phone after saying that.
I heaved a sigh of relief, put away my phone, and took the bus back.
After dinner, I had nothing to do, so I wandered around the old mansion. The front yard of the old mansion is very simple. The main door leads to the courtyard. There are four rooms on both sides. Other than the one I live in, the others are all locked.
Further in was the central room. On the left side of the central room was the kitchen. Behind the kitchen was a courtyard with a laundry sink.
There were two long corridors on the right side of the central room, one leading to the backyard. There's another one that I've never been to, so I don't know where it leads to.
Thinking that I had nothing to do anyway, I walked towards the corridor.
This corridor was very long. I walked for a full ten minutes before reaching the end. At the end was an ancestral hall. The door was old and mottled, locked by a large lock. The red paint on the door had already yellowed and peeled off. Lu Family Ancestral Hall.
He did not expect the Lu family's ancestral hall to be here. He had finally walked around the old residence today.
Just as I was about to leave, a black aura emerged from the gap in the ancestral hall's door and slowly approached me. Following that, there was a bone-piercing cold aura.
Although I didn't know what it was, I knew it was definitely dangerous. I hurriedly turned around and ran back.
I ran back to the fork in the corridor in one breath before I dared to stop. When I turned around and confirmed that the black gas wasn't chasing after me, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was a little curious about what the black gas that was coming out of the ancestral hall was, but I didn't dare to probe further. After all, curiosity killed the cat. I still wanted to live a few more years and never go to the ancestral hall again.
After calming myself down, I wanted to go to the backyard to see Lu Jinhuan, but after thinking about his words, I dismissed the idea and returned to my room.
There was no signal in the old mansion. I couldn't make a phone call or watch a movie. I could only lie in bed and stare blankly. Speaking of which, the time I spent in the old mansion was the most leisurely time I had in the past ten years, but it was also the most thrilling.
Only now do I know how wonderful the days of the past were. They were dull and boring, and I was often beaten and scolded by my aunt for no reason. I didn't have to live in fear like now. I was constantly worried that demons and ghosts would eat me and kill me. I lived every day as if it was my last day.
If nothing had happened to Uncle, if the Lu family had not come looking for me, if I had not agreed to this marriage, how good would that have been?
Unfortunately, there are no ifs. I can never go back to my original life.
After a muddleheaded day, I couldn't help but go to the backyard after dinner.
The backyard was as silent as ever.
"Lu Jinhuan, are you feeling better?"”
The pitch-black bottom of the well was like a black hole that swallowed my voice.
After a long time, Lu Jinhuan did not reply. He must not have recovered yet. After all, he was seriously injured.
I sighed and left the backyard.
The next morning, after I finished eating, I washed the dirty clothes and hung them up. I went to the backyard to inform Lu Jinhuan before leaving.
When I arrived at the pedestrian street, it was just in time, but Cheng Huan was already waiting for me with two cups of milk tea.
"Huanhuan, why are you so early?”I took the milk tea and asked.
Cheng Huan chuckled." I haven't gone shopping with you in a long time. I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night."”
"Do you have to do this!"
"Why not? We haven't been out for a long time. Look at my dark circles. You have to take responsibility!”
I pinched Cheng Huan's chin and nodded in agreement." Yes, it's comparable to a national treasure."”
"Go to hell!"
We played along the way. In the blink of an eye, it was already lunchtime. Cheng Huan told me that a food court had just opened nearby. We rushed over excitedly. Just as we reached the gate, we heard a bang. An object smashed heavily on the ground in front of us.
"I'll go!" Cheng Huan exclaimed.
Before I could see what it was, Cheng Huan covered my eyes. Then, there were noisy footsteps beside me, and someone shouted to call the police.
I didn't need to ask to guess. Someone jumped off a building and fell right in front of us.
"Let's go, it's too scary!" Cheng Huan took my hand and led me away from the food court. I asked Cheng Huan where they were going to eat, but she waved her hand and said,"I can't eat. You eat. Don't worry about me.”
Looking at Cheng Huan's pale face, my heart was filled with gratitude. All these years, no matter what happened, she would always protect me. Just like just now, she was clearly afraid herself, but her first reaction was to cover my eyes.
I hugged Cheng Huan, tears welling up in my eyes." Huanhuan, thank you for being so good to me.”
"What are you being pretentious for!" Cheng Huan said disdainfully, but he hugged me honestly with both hands.
Then, a scene appeared on the street. Two girls were hugging each other tightly. One had a look of disgust on her face, and the other had tears in her eyes. The scene didn't seem right…
Eh? Why are the passers-by looking at you strangely? It's not what you think!
When I let go of Cheng Huan, I glanced down inadvertently and noticed that there were a few drops of blood on her pants." Huanhuan, where did the blood on your pants come from?”
Cheng Huan looked down and frowned."I think it was at the entrance of the food city just now…"
I immediately understood what she meant. It was the blood of the person who jumped off the building that splashed on her trousers. I felt that it was unlucky, so I hurriedly pulled her to the public toilet and helped her wipe off the blood on her trousers.
He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his pants. They were clean.
Cheng Huan lost her appetite and I lost my mood after the incident. We walked around the street hand in hand.
When we passed by a bakery, Cheng Huan suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled me in.
Cheng Huan, who had a pale face and said that she couldn't eat anything, ate three pieces of cake in one go. I silently gave her a thumbs up.
Sometimes, it was really a blessing to have a strong mind.#
