I turned my gaze to He Ming, as a party to the case, it is not surprising that Li Lao has hidden many things, after all, this is not a glorious thing.

"Uncle He, you just said they were all hoodoos, but what happened?"

He Ming glanced at Li Lao, his face was extremely ugly, there was a hint of desolation in his tone, and he said slowly: "Since that incident, not to mention the death of my grandfather, my eldest brother's family, my parents, and my wife have passed away one after another...... Just because back then, my He family shouldn't have gotten that inkstone! ”

"It turns out that the inkstone was really taken by He Laosan, a person who doesn't know big characters, actually took such a thing!"

I glanced at Elder Li and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the inkstone also eats human souls?" ”

He Ming said with a frightened expression: "It doesn't eat human souls, it's a ghost inkstone!" He was silent for a while and explained: "Just like Elder Li said, my father can't read big characters, but he suddenly bought a pen and paper and started writing, and he is also good at writing...... At first, it was only occasional, but then he was like a demon, writing day and night, and even ...... Even cut your wrists and bleed to sharpen the ink! ”

Blood ink? I seem to have heard something like this, but it's just a fanatical love of calligraphy, a preference, nothing special.

"Later, my mother asked a master to do it, and my father was able to come to his senses, inform us of this, and throw the inkstone into the river." When He Ming said this, he shook his head sadly, "I didn't expect that after a few years, my eldest brother died suddenly." Later, we learned that he locked himself in the house for nearly half a month, drained his own blood, and was also as enchanted as his father was back then. And...... That inkstone is on the scene! ”

I subconsciously covered my mouth, took a breath of cool air, and asked in surprise, "That...... Where is the inkstone now? ”

"My wife died of blood cancer! When she died, she was afraid that I would be affected, so she begged me to take the inkstone with her...... Buried! He Ming closed his eyes, and his tone was a little choked.

"So...... Isn't that wrench also ......?"

Li Zhenwei stopped halfway through his words, and his expression was a little dazed. But listening to him say this, I remembered that Li Lao almost committed suicide by jumping into the lake, according to the old lady's words, it seems that the death of the Li family's grandmother is also related to the wrench. As for the peace and quiet over the years, it should be that the seal in the jewelry box has played a role. Then why did He Ming suddenly want to break the seal?

"O iniquity! O iniquity! The old lady lamented in her voice.

"Don't get excited, old lady......" I hurried over to soothe her softly, and the atmosphere in the room grew more and more solemn, when there was a knock on the door of the study.

I consciously walked over and opened the door, Zhang Yufen looked at me kindly and said, "You can start eating in a while!" ”

I looked back at the people in the room, and I guess they didn't have any appetite, but I smiled and replied, "I'll take the old lady over!" ”

When everyone's mood calmed down a little, I helped the old lady out of the study, and Xue Chen and Xiaoxue immediately greeted her.

The old lady handed over the crutches in her hand to Xue Chen, and Zhang Yufen and I walked into the restaurant with her support. The dining room is a large space, with two combined long tables and fourteen chairs. The old lady sat on the main seat, sighing silently, and Li Lao sat on her right, also with his head bowed. Xue Chen and I sat in the middle of the right side, and after everyone was in place, everyone was silent for a while. And the one who broke this silence was Li Zhenwen, Li Zhenwei's younger brother, that is, the person who asked for "Thunderwood" last time.

"Come on, come on, don't be restrained! As for me, on behalf of my dad and my eldest brother, I would like to say a few words, this time thanks to the old lady and this ...... Miss Lin Shan, just resolved such a catastrophe for my Li family, I salute you! ”

The old lady didn't mean to deal with him, except for Zhang Yufen who reluctantly cooperated and smiled, and the other people present didn't seem to care about him. Li Hao was also there, he was unusual, and he didn't glance at Xiaoxue.

Seeing that no one responded, Li Zhenwen said embarrassedly: "I'll do it first as a respect, you are free!" As he spoke, he drank all the champagne in his hand.

Such a low atmosphere was really unappetizing, and I reluctantly raised my glass and said, "I'm not very good at drinking, so I mean it!" With that, he took a small sip.

Li Zhenwen smiled at me when he saw that I was willing to take care of him, and Zhang Yufen also took the opportunity to say: "I know that the old lady is not used to eating things outside, so I arranged to be at home and made some home-cooked dishes to entertain, Miss Lin, don't be surprised!" ”

"Very good!"

"Don't be restrained, move your chopsticks!" Zhang Yufen said enthusiastically.

Because of embarrassment, I glanced at Xue Chen beside me, he smiled gently, picked up a bowl of soup and put it in front of me: "Let's drink some soup first!" ”

"I specially let Sister-in-law Gui stew that crucian carp soup, you are injured and need to be repaired!" Zhang Yufen also filled a bowl, "Come, old lady, you can also have a bowl!" ”

Subsequently, the people at the table also moved the dishes and chopsticks one after another, and the atmosphere eased slightly, and suddenly He Ming cried out in a low voice. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his already emaciated face suddenly turned pale. He was holding his abdomen with one hand, and there seemed to be unbearable pain.

"Dad, where's your medicine?" Xiaoxue sat next to him, and naturally the first to react, rummaging in his clothes pocket, but found nothing.

"I didn't ...... Affair! He Ming gritted his teeth and spit out these two words. I suddenly remembered that he had said that he had advanced liver cancer, and my heart suddenly sank.

Xue Chen helped Xiaoxue help He Ming to rest on the sofa, he took out the medicine bottle from his trouser pocket and stuffed two tablets. After a while, his face improved slightly, and he asked Xiaoxue to call me over.

"Miss Lin......" He Ming looked at me weakly.

"Uncle He, your body is important, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it another day!"

He Ming shook his head, his eyes were full of despair, and he said, "You can also see that I don't have much time...... I only hope that while I'm still alive, I can find a way......" He looked at Xiaoxue beside him, "I can find a way to let Xiaoxue get rid of this bad luck!" ”

"Dad......" Xiaoxue choked up.

I turned my head away and tried to control my emotions. I don't deny that I'm an emotional person, and when I was in college, I cried until dawn when I read novels, but I hated tears more and more.

"I see!" I walked to He Ming and sat down, since the inkstone and the wrench are together, then this matter is not an extraneous branch. I comforted him and said, "I will do my best to protect Xiaoxue!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Li Hao walked over at some point, looking at all this in confusion.

Xiaoxue was silent, I think no matter what the original starting point was, in this "deception", the relationship between the two of them happened both unexpectedly and really!
