"Let's go to the old mansion." the middle-aged man ordered.
I calmed my mind and looked at Old Master Lu."Before I go, I want to ask you to give me the other half of the betrothal gift money.”
It's my life's money, and it's my uncle's life-saving money. I must get the money and send it to my aunt first. As the saying goes, one must be on guard against others. What if I die in the old residence and the Lu family reneges on their debts?
The pale-faced Madam Lu suddenly said,""Can the Lu family still rely on your little money? What a joke."
"I'm just afraid that you'll forget things. Anyway, if you don't give me money, I won't go to the old mansion.”I said it with certainty, but I was actually feeling very guilty.
The Lu family is an existence in An City that can make An City tremble with just a stomp of their feet. It's only a matter of minutes before they find someone to replace me.
To my surprise, Old Master Lu threw a check on the coffee table." Two million. After you take the money, you have to listen to the Lu family's arrangements in the future. Otherwise, let alone you, even your family will not have a good ending. Do you understand?”
Two million!
I widened my eyes.
The betrothal gift was supposed to be 500,000 yuan, but I've already given 250,000 yuan. I didn't expect Old Master Lu to be so rich and give me two million yuan.
This sum of money should be enough for Uncle's medical expenses and family expenses.
Afraid that Master Lu would go back on his word, I hurriedly picked up the check from the coffee table and carefully put it into my pocket." Listen carefully. Don't worry, my life will belong to the Lu family in the future.”
Old Master Lu's expression softened a little.
"Old Master Lu, I want to go to the hospital to see my uncle now. Can I?”I asked carefully.
Old Master Lu didn't give me an answer. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man nodded and said,"Go back to the old mansion before dark."
"Alright." I responded and hurried out to the hospital.
Auntie was sitting on a chair outside the ICU room and taking a nap. I looked at my uncle through the glass for a while before waking her up.
When Auntie saw me, her face darkened, but for the first time, she didn't scold me.
I handed the check to her." Auntie, there's two million here. Keep it well and save it in your card." This is all I can do for my family. I might not be able to visit you guys again in the future…"
At this point, I choked up.
After all, this was the home I had lived in for more than ten years. Although it wasn't warm, it was my only safe haven in this world. Now that he was leaving, he really couldn't bear to leave.
However, Auntie should be happy. After all, she has always seen me as a jinx. Without me, the family's life will definitely get better and better.
She looked at the check in surprise for a while before asking me,""Where did you get so much money?”
"The Lu family gave it to you. Don't worry and use it. I'm leaving.”
I held back my tears and turned to leave.
When I was waiting for the elevator, I suddenly felt a chill on my ankle. I looked down and saw a bloody baby hugging my calf. There was still a placenta under him. My scalp went numb.
The baby raised his head and gave me a sinister smile. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite me. I was so scared that I kicked him away.
After I kicked the baby out, he suddenly disappeared.
What was going on? Did he see a ghost in broad daylight?
I rubbed my eyes and looked again. The corridor was empty. There was no baby at all.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
After leaving the hospital, I didn't want to return to the Lu family's old residence so early. I wandered around the streets until sunset. I found a restaurant.
Even if I die, I want to be a full ghost.
After a full meal, I took the bus back to the Lu family's old residence.
When I returned to the Lu family's old residence, the middle-aged man was already waiting for me at the door. Seeing that I had returned, he urged,"It's getting dark. Hurry up and go in!"
This gloomy Lu family's old residence will be my burial ground, but I've already taken the money. No matter if it's a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I have to bite the bullet.
I took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Under the dim light, the old house seemed lifeless. I closed the door and entered a room. A musty smell assailed my nose. I frowned and closed the door. I didn't care if the bed was clean or not and directly crawled into the bed to sleep.
I kept comforting myself that I wouldn't be afraid if I fell asleep, but my nervousness made it impossible for me to fall asleep. After all, there was a ghost in this house!
I suddenly miss my phone. Unfortunately, Mrs. Lu confiscated it yesterday.
I was nervous until midnight. When I finally felt sleepy, there was a knock on the door.
Who could it be in the middle of the night?
Could it be someone from the Lu family? Or that middle-aged man. Other than them, no one else would come.
But now, I'm very scared!
The sound of knocking on the door rang out continuously. I hesitated for a long time before turning on the lights and getting up. I mustered up my courage to go out and open the door.
The moment I opened the door of the old mansion, I couldn't help but gasp.
This time, I wasn't seeing things. I clearly saw the bloody baby who wanted to bite me at the hospital. He was lying at the door, raising his little arm and knocking on the door.
When he saw me open the door, he raised his little head and smiled at me. The cold moonlight reflected on his pale little face. It was really terrifying.
Ghost…Ghost!
After staring at each other for about a minute, I finally reacted. I slammed the door shut and bolted it. I ran back to my room and hid under the blanket.
My mother! The little ghost had come knocking!
The knocking on the door sounded again, getting louder and louder. The door was smashed so loudly that it sounded like it was smashing on my heart. I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe loudly. I curled up under the blanket and trembled, and my entire body was covered in cold sweat.
After some time, the knocking finally stopped.
Only then did I heave a sigh of relief. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and crawled out of the blanket. Before I could catch my breath, my little heart was about to stop.
That ghost infant was actually lying on my bed and was slowly crawling towards me!
" Heehee... heehee..." The eerie laughter echoed in the room, making people's hair stand on end.
" Don't, don't come over…" I clutched the blanket tightly and moved back in panic.
If it wasn't for the fact that my legs were weak from fear, I would have gotten up and run long ago.
The ghost infant crawled closer and closer. Its cold laughter was like a demonic sound that continuously entered my ears and stimulated my nerves. At this moment, I didn't even have the strength to retreat.
Everything around me turned into nothingness. Only the ghost infant's sinister smile slowly enlarged in front of me.
" Hehehe…" The ghost infant crawled in front of me, grabbed my clothes, and climbed onto my body.
At this moment, I finally couldn't hold back the fear in my heart and screamed," Help! Ghost!"
