Chapter 226: The Ghost Who Dwells in His Heart
More than an hour later, Tang Che led the large army back to the Tang family's mansion.
"Young Master Che, you're finally back." Old Butler Li saw Tang Che, Yan Qing and the others walking in from outside the hall, and hurriedly greeted them.
"What's going on with Grandpa now?" Tang Che didn't even bother to change his slippers at home, so he walked straight upstairs.
"Yesterday was fine during the day, but after the old lady came to see the palace last night, the old man had nightmares, talking in his dreams all night, and he had a high fever early this morning, and he was also a little mentally disturbed, and the doctor said that it may be caused by excessive fright." Old Butler Li followed closely beside Tang Che.
Insane? Frightened too much?
Tang Che frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at Old Housekeeper Li: "Do you know what the old woman said to her grandfather when she came to visit her grandfather?" ”
Tang Che suspected that the reason why Old Man Tang was frightened was related to the content of the old lady's conversation.
Old housekeeper Li shook his head: "No, I was waiting outside the room during their conversation." ”
Tang Che thought about it, the stinky old man of his family and the old woman of the palace family had an ambiguous affair.
When the two of them were talking to me, they naturally wouldn't let Old Housekeeper Li be present.
Yan Qing was silent the whole time, just holding Qiao Ni's hand tightly, and followed the steps of Tang Che and Old Butler Li upstairs.
Er Dong and He Chuan walked side by side, and Lu Xiao went back to the bureau to handle the case.
Gu Anran and Xiao Jinghuan walked at the back.
She lowered her head, and her mood was a little complicated.
Old Man Tang has a deep blood feud with her such as the destruction of the family.
To be honest, she kind of hoped that Old Man Tang would die of illness.
In this way, it also saves Xiao Jinghuan from going to him for revenge again, so as to completely tear his face with Tang Che and stand on the opposite side.
But when she learned that she very much hoped that Old Man Tang would die of illness, she felt that her thoughts were a little dark.
She doesn't like that of herself.
Xiao Jinghuan didn't have any expression on his face, but in his heart he secretly suspected that Old Man Tang's excessive fright led to a certain relationship with Aunt Fu's mental disorder.
As the saying goes, people are scared to death.
Especially those who have done bad things and have ghosts in their hearts are the most unbearable to be frightened.
Obviously, the old man of the Tang family is this kind of person.
It is better to die of excessive fright, so as to save his hands from being stained by his blood.
A sneer rose uncontrollably at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Anran happened to see the sneer on his lips, and his heart suddenly groaned.
Old Man Tang's overly frightened moth shouldn't have been made by her brother, right?
At this time, the group had already come to Old Man Tang's room.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't do my business, don't do my business!" Old Man Tang's eyes were tightly closed, but his mouth kept saying all kinds of dream words mixed with horror, and his hands were waving wildly in the air, as if he was doing something with someone in a nightmare at the moment.
Seeing him like this, Tang Che's head was a little big, he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and grabbed Old Man Tang's hand.
"Stinky old man, with me, no one dares to kill you! Wake me up! His voice was cold, and on the surface it didn't seem to have a trace of emotion, but his heart was trembling with fear at the moment.
After living for twenty-five years, he had never seen Old Man Tang look so frightened and helpless.
The sour feeling couldn't help but gush out from the bottom of my heart.
Since he was a child, he has always regarded his grandfather as a towering tree, a man who stands up to the sky, thinking that he will never fall.
Now seeing him lying on the bed, haunted by the nightmare of illness and injury, he feels that his grandfather is not as invincible as he imagined.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Old Man Tang's expression was panicked, and he wanted to pull Tang Che's hand to his mouth and bite it fiercely.
His strength was very strong, and Tang Che couldn't help frowning and shouting: "Stinky old man, loosen up, I'm your grandson!" ”
Old Man Tang seemed to be unable to hear him speak, and he bit violently, biting Tang Che's hand blood in just a few seconds.
Old housekeeper Li stepped forward with an arrow, forcefully pulled Tang Che's hand out of Old Man Tang's mouth, and then wrapped his hands around Old Man Tang's shoulders and shook it: "Master, wake up, wake up!" ”
I don't know if it was Old Butler Li's shaking that played a role, or if Old Man Tang's nightmare was over, he opened his eyes suddenly and gasped hard.
Visibly undecided.
His vision blurred at the ceiling above his head, his chest rising and falling violently.
"Grandpa, grandpa......" Yan Qing bent down and raised his hand to shake it in front of his eyes.
Old Man Tang's gaze gradually became clearer, he looked at Yan Qing with fixed eyes, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, he asked uncertainly: "Qing'er, are you real?" ”
"Yes, grandpa, I'm real, don't believe it, you touch me." Yan Qing bent down and squatted on the edge of the bed, raising Old Man Tang's hand and putting it on his face.
The real touch made Old Man Tang almost burst into tears with excitement: "It's great to see you alive." ”
All the people who have come back from the ghost gate will have this feeling when they see their relatives, and it is good to be alive.
"Stinky old man, what did you dream about? Roaring and screaming, disgrace the dead! Tang Che saw that Old Man Tang woke up from the nightmare, and the heart that was hanging high because of worry suddenly fell steadily, and his usual cold face was restored.
"Stinky boy, your grandfather and I almost went to report to the Yama Palace, and you still have the heart to dislike me!" Old Man Tang angrily stretched out his hand to hit Tang Che, then looked back at Yan Qing, and said with a smile: "Qing'er still has filial piety." ”
Yan Qing smiled slightly: "Actually, the eldest brother is also quite filial, he was quite worried about you just now." ”
Old Man Tang raised his voice in disbelief: "He's worried about me? Don't be funny, unless it's raining! ”
"......" Yan Qingai glanced at Tang Che helplessly.
Tang Che was too lazy to argue with Old Man Tang about the topic of worrying and not worrying, compared to this, he was more concerned about the reason why Old Man Tang was too frightened.
"Hey, stinky old man, don't deliberately divert the topic, the doctor said that you were overly frightened to cause your mental disorder and high fever to go away, tell me, what frightened you?"
In Tang Che's impression, his grandfather was not a timid person.
Things that can make him too frightened are certainly not simple.
"I dreamed of ghosts." This is the truth, Old Man Tang did dream just now that a dead man came to kill him with a gun.
And this dead soul is Lin Feng, the proud son of the sky who was dominant in City A and even the whole country more than 20 years ago.
Lin Feng is the biological father of Gu Anran and Xiao Jinghuan, twenty-two years ago, he was the head of the Lin family, and after inheriting the head of the Lin family, in less than two years, the Lin family grew into a big family comparable to the Tang family.
At that time, people said that Lin Feng was a rare genius in a thousand years, extremely intelligent, versatile, with a wide range of interests, and he was very successful in the area he was interested in.
Take the painting as an example, twenty years ago, as long as it was from his pen, any painting was worth 10,000 gold.
It is precisely because of his outstanding talent that he and the Lin family he led became a thorn in the side of several other wealthy families, and then they were encircled and suppressed.
People in the world often say that the tree is big, and the money is remembered by thieves.
"Heh......"
Tang Che snorted lightly, and his deep cold pupils met Old Man Tang's eyes speechlessly: "Ghost? You're not afraid of a living person, but you can ghost something that comes out of nothing? ”
Old Man Tang smashed it twice, but he didn't say anything.
It can't be said that he did a bad thing nineteen years ago, and then he was haunted by demons, and often dreamed that the ghosts and ghosts came to settle accounts with him.
Having nightmares and being scared into insanity can't be talked about anymore, and the subject has to be changed quickly.
"Where's Gu girl? She will be my granddaughter-in-law in two days, and I am sick and dying, why didn't I see her to come and see me? These words were said to Tang Che, and his tone was extremely dissatisfied.
I don't know why, Old Man Tang always felt that Gu Anran was not as enthusiastic about him as before during this time.
This made him feel that he was not taken seriously, and he felt very uncomfortable, and even felt that Gu Anran was a person without filial piety and was not suitable to be the granddaughter-in-law of their old Tang family.
Old Man Tang did not hide his dissatisfaction with Gu Anran, which made Tang Che suddenly have a sense of crisis in his heart, and hurriedly turned back to look for Gu Anran, but saw Gu Anran and Xiao Jinghuan still standing at the door of the room.
"Gu Anran, you come over to me!" He furiously twisted his brow into Sichuan characters.
This damn woman, seeing that she is about to get married, doesn't know how to serve and please his grandfather with her heart.
What if I annoy the stinky old man, and the stinky old man doesn't recognize her as a granddaughter-in-law?
Xiao Jinghuan was worried that Old Man Tang would recognize him as the person who attacked and injured him a few days ago, so he stood outside the door and didn't dare to go in.
"Oh, right away." Gu Anran gave Xiao Jinghuan a don't worry look, and then raised his feet and walked in.
Old Man Tang saw Xiao Jinghuan standing not far behind Gu Anran, his pupils suddenly constricted, and then he sat up with both hands on the bed, squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Jinghuan for a moment, and asked Tang Che, "Who is that person?" ”
Tang Che followed his gaze and saw that the person he asked was Xiao Jinghuan, and then thought of the fierce expression he had just seen Xiao Jinghuan.
The doubts about Xiao Jinghuan in my heart immediately had a clear answer.
Xiao Jinghuan is the murderer who attacked and injured his grandfather.
Can't be wrong.
"I ask you who he is??" Old Man Tang was very angry that Tang Che didn't answer him immediately, and pinched Tang Che hard.
Only then did Tang Che tell him: "An Ran's eldest brother, Xiao Jinghuan!" Didn't you already know him. ”
"Quick, call him in." Old Man Tang continued to push Tang Che hard.
Seeing this, Gu Anran's heart thumped in fright, she took a deep breath, and then calmly walked to Old Man Tang's bed: "Grandpa Tang, my brother contracted a cold last night, had a cold, and there are bacteria on his body, so don't call him in, lest the virus on his body infect you and aggravate your condition." ”
If this passage had been changed to before, Tang Che would definitely not have thought much about it.
But now, no matter how he listens, he feels a smell of wanting to cover up.
This can only show one thing, Gu Anran knew about her brother's attack on his grandfather.
Moreover, she chose to side with her brother.
Thinking of this, Tang Che's heart sank, and even the eyes that looked at An Ran were a little colder.
An indescribable sadness permeated his heart.
Anyone in the world can deceive and betray him, but Gu Anran can't.
Still, she did.
