Chapter Forty-Seven: A Mysterious Death

Bai Muzhen felt that it was a pity, and couldn't help but shake his head, sigh and ask, "Why did Childe burn the book?"

"Because I think it's hoodoo. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wen Aya lowered her head as she spoke, her tone was a little bitter, her eyes were gloomy, and her face was melancholy.

Her strange appearance made Bai Muzhen really moved, and asked tentatively: "Have you ever been hurt by this book?"

Wen Aya looked up at Bai Muzhen and smiled bitterly: "So to speak." She paused as she spoke, she knew that Bai Muzhen and the others must be very curious about this matter, wondering why she burned the book. And she, because of this depression that has been accumulated in her heart for more than ten years, has long wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Maybe you don't know, although this book is a family heirloom of my Wen family, it is also a forbidden book. When I was six years old, I was curious about this forbidden book, so I secretly went to the second floor of the book attic to peek at it. This book is placed on the second floor of the attic of my house, and the books on the second floor are rare and precious and forbidden books, so there are people guarding the door at twelve o'clock a day. If you want to go to the second floor to read, in addition to having my father's handwritten message, you have to go through the gatekeeper's inspection before you can enter the second floor. Once on the second floor, the gatekeeper must find the book and give it to the person who reads it. Then, the person who reads the book must read the book on the second floor and must also read it under the supervision of the gatekeeper. After reading it, the gatekeeper puts the book back.

With such strict reading requirements, of course, I couldn't have made it to the second floor openly. I had to sneak in and watch it with all my might. Since [Divine Vision] is very thick, it will take me a few days to finish it. I slipped in on time every day to read it, put it back untouched when I finished reading, and then sneaked out on time. In this way, it will not be discovered by the gatekeepers. However, on the last day, I slipped in to find [Divine Vision] to read it, only to find that the book was missing.

I was stunned!

[Divine Vision] is gone, this is a big deal. The gatekeeper would go into the second floor every morning and evening to count the books. Then, when he had to count the books before closing at night, he would surely find that the [Divine Vision] was gone. When the time comes, he will report it to my father, and when he checks it, he will definitely find out that I have snuck in to read books for several days.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to linger on the second floor.

I slipped out of the second floor and back to my room, where I spent the day in trepidation, always fearing that my father would send someone to grab me and beat me up. However, my worries turned out to be unfounded. Because when it was time to go to bed at night, the things I feared did not happen. So, I started to be curious again. What is the reason why Daddy is not angry? Could it be that [Divine Vision] has been recovered, so Daddy is not angry? But I don't think it's right. [Divine Vision] is a forbidden book, and it is also a family heirloom, not to mention losing it, even if you can't read it. Daddy would never be angry or angry just because the book was found. So, what is it that keeps Daddy from being angry?

I thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that there was only one reason. That is, someone stole the [Divine Vision] and then secretly put the books back in the evening while the gatekeeper had not yet counted them. In this way, of course, the gatekeeper didn't know that [Divine Vision] had never been seen, so how could Daddy be angry?

To test my suspicions, I snuck up to the second floor the next day. Sure enough, [Divine Vision] was safely placed in its original place. I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time I struggled with whether to finish the book. After a mental struggle, I finally read the book with a heart. When I finished reading it, I put the book back in its place and sneaked out again.

I thought that as long as I didn't say anything, I would be fine. However, I didn't expect that two days later, my brother passed away suddenly and mysteriously......"

Speaking of this, Wen Aya's voice was hoarse and low, and her beautiful and smart eyes were filled with tears.

"Your brother?" Bai Muzhen was surprised, how could this matter have something to do with her brother? He thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "You said that the [Divine Vision] disappeared two days ago, did your brother steal it?"

Wen Aya raised her head, looked at Bai Muzhen in surprise and said, "Why did you go with me?"

Bai Muzhen smiled and said, "Not only me, I think even the two eldest brothers, Zuo Long and Right Tiger, think the same way, right?" he said and glanced at Zuo Long and Right Tiger.

Zuo Long and Right Tiger nodded immediately, but they couldn't help but say in their hearts: "Where do I have such a smart idea?" However, they were embarrassed to say to Wen Aya that they couldn't really think of anything.

Wen Aya nodded and said, "Hmm." That's what I thought at the time. I've always thought that two days ago, my brother would have passed away. Although these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, they must be related on the inside. At the beginning, I wanted to tell my father about this and ask him to check if my brother died mysteriously because of [Divine Vision]?

But how dare I tell my father about it? I was tormented by this day and night so that I couldn't sleep soundly, I couldn't eat well, and my heart was troubled. I think it's all the fault of the Divine Vision. This kind of book is inherently evil. After thinking about it, I decided to set it on fire.

So, I sneaked into the second floor again, found out the [Divine Vision], and set fire to it. Then, I automatically went to my dad and told him what had happened. When my father heard this, he was so angry that he ordered someone to beat me severely, saying that this was the consequence of punishing me for reading forbidden books. That time was the only time I was beaten in my life, and I was beaten so hard that I didn't recover from my injuries for half a year. ”

After Wen Aya finished speaking, her face was gloomy, and there was a pool of water in the autumn waves, crystal bright but indescribably sad, like that, it was really pitiful.

Bai Muzhen was heartbroken, and wanted to take Wen Aya in his arms and soothe her, but how dare he? He could only divert her attention, so he looked at her and asked, "So, did your father go to find out what you were thinking? Did he find out the cause of your brother's death? Or did he find out that it was related to [Divine Vision]?"

"Nope!" Wen Aya shook her head regretfully.

Bai Muzhen thought for a while, and suddenly said: "When you found Pearl Tears, you were indescribably excited. You must think that this is a chance for you to find out what the cause of your brother's death was, right?"

Wen Aya looked at Bai Muzhen with wide eyes in surprise and said, "Fuck off, you're quite smart, you can actually guess my thoughts." ”

"Hehe......" Bai Muzhen smiled stupidly, touched his head and said: "Is this called very smart? Such a thing, don't say it's me, even Brother Zuo Long and Big Brother Right Tiger can guess it, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the left dragon and the right tiger.

The left dragon and the right tiger glanced at each other, and then, both of them nodded at the same time, 'um' in agreement. In fact, they completely disagreed with what Bai Muzhen said, but if they were to say something against it, they couldn't say it. After all, if they object, it shows that they are stupid, and the world is like this, and no one will openly admit that they are stupid!

Bai Muzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard Yun Niang's faint words: "How could I not guess?"
