Chapter 40: The Witch of the Ghost Clan

Previous Chapter

The waning moon is half dewed, and there are sporadic silver glows sprinkled in the deep alleys.

At the end of the alley sits a simple thatched hut, with a faint orange light in the house, illuminating the two figures on the paper window.

Qi Yue and the four of them stood outside the wooden door, poked their heads out, and took a closer look, only to see one of the thin figures raising their hands and gesturing, and on the opposite side of her was a tall person, who seemed to be a woman.

"Little Layue!" patted the cat-bent boy next to him, seeing that his face was full of worry and hesitation, Qi Yue asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go in and have a look?" ”

"I'm a little scared." He muttered in a low voice with a sad little face.

Qi Yue was puzzled.

Xiao Chifeng, who was on his side, stepped forward in two steps, wanting to push open the wooden door.

"Brother Xiao, wait."

Layue hurriedly raised her hand to stop it, her voice trembling a little.

Several people were even more puzzled, looking puzzled.

"I ...... I was taken away by the people in the black market before, and I was afraid that the people in it were from the black market...... This implicates the grandmother. He whispered quietly, with a hint of weeping.

Qi Yue was surprised, and felt even more pity in his heart, and comforted: "I see, don't be afraid, we will definitely protect you and your grandmother." ”

Leader Jiang also nodded in agreement, his eyes were gentle, he stroked his beard, and echoed: "Little baby, you can go and take a look at it at ease." ”

Hearing their affirmation, Layue suddenly took a deep breath and her expression became firm.

"Okay."

Determined, he no longer looked entangled, his little hand pushed open the wooden door, with a "squeak", the wooden door opened, the flickering candlelight in the room was extinguished, and there was no movement suddenly.

Leader Jiang was stunned for a moment, and took the lead in stepping into the courtyard, his eyes were sharp and he looked around, although it was dark and dark at the moment, but he had a spell in his body, and it did not affect him.

"Slow." His face suddenly turned cold, he stopped at his feet, and then raised his hand to signal.

The few people who followed behind him immediately stopped, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little tense.

On one side, Xiao Chifeng stretched out his hand to pull Qi Yue and bring him behind him. With a handsome face with a look of vigilance, he held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements of the four directions.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a whisper, her eyes looking around, but it was dark and she couldn't see anything.

"Shh Xiao Chifeng raised his finger and silenced.

Qi Yue knew in his heart that although he couldn't feel anything abnormal, there must be something strange about the current situation.

And behind a few people, Layue, who followed into the door, was also a little nervous at this time, and he seemed to feel that the yard where he had lived with his grandmother for ten years had become a little strange tonight.

There seems to be an aura of evil spirits inside......

Standing in the narrow courtyard, he knew nothing but darkness at the moment. Through the sparse moonlight, the wax moon could faintly see a few vague outlines.

It is a memory, a familiar furnishing in the yard.

The excitement in his heart could not be hidden, and he suddenly lost his fear, and he shouted loudly, "Grandma! Grandmother! ”

Qi Yue and the others turned around, shocked.

There was a small "click" sound in the room.

Immediately, a few people only heard an old woman's voice coming into their ears.

"Wax Moon? Is Layue outside? ”

"It's me, it's me, grandma!"

Layue was excited, and now with the faint moonlight, she passed through the three people in front of her, and stumbled towards the closed door in the inner room.

With a slight sob in his mouth, "Woo...... Grandma, it's me...... I am back! ”

The candlelight in the house was lit again.

"Grandma, there's more than ...... outside"

"Let me go! It's Layue who is back, and he is back! ”

"Grandma, don't ......"

"Let me go!" ……

There were two figures tugging on the window shadow, and the conversation between the two could be faintly heard, but the other female voice had been persuading.

Seeing this, Layue no longer cared, he knocked on the wooden door and called out in his mouth.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Grandma, open the door! It's me, I'm Layue! I'm back grandma! ”

Behind them, Qi Yue and the three of them kept their eyes on the two figures in the window paper in the room, and Layue's sudden intrusion caught them a little off guard, and it was too late to hold him to stabilize the current situation.

Leader Jiang looked around again, his face was cold, and he turned his head sideways to Xiao Chifeng and said, "Feng'er, do you feel anything abnormal?" ”

He nodded cautiously and whispered, "Around here, there is a ghostly aura that seems to be nothing. ”

Qi Yue was shocked in his heart, and then his thoughts changed. Layue once mentioned that his grandmother was a member of the ghost clan, and it must be normal to have a ghost spirit.

But you can't mention it to them......

She looked helpless and sighed secretly.

Leader Jiang on his side squinted his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell straight back into the room, as if he wanted to penetrate the layer of window paper and look inside.

Said again: "That's right, it seems that there are people from the ghost clan around. "Pinch the seal in your hand, ready to deal with a dangerous surprise attack at any time, "But you need to be more vigilant."

Just as they were talking softly, the door of the house suddenly opened, and an old woman with white hair came out of the backlight.

"Grandma!" Layue muttered excitedly, threw herself into the old woman's arms, and choked up, "Grandma, I'm ...... I'll come back... I'm back, I... I've finally seen you, woo. ”

"Good boy, I've been miserable for you all these years......"

The old woman's beard was white and her body was thin, and she stretched out a pair of old and withered arms and hugged Layue tightly in her arms.

The grief was endless, and the corners of their eyes were moist.

After three years of separation, it is finally a reunion after a long absence......

"My Layue, how have you lived all these years, you are so skinny."

The old woman sighed in distress as she touched his small arms and looked up and down her eyes. Seeing that his grandson seemed to be skinny, he screamed pity.

Rubbing his thin cheeks, his expression was grieving, "That black-hearted man who killed a thousand people! Treat a child like this! ”

"Grandma, I'm fine. It's you, you've been helpless for the past three years......"

Layue was sensible and comforting, looking up at her grandmother's old cheeks, although there were countless wrinkles, her grandmother's eyes were dark and clear. What is inside is full of concern for him.

………

The three people in the courtyard took advantage of the candlelight in the house to see the scene in front of them vividly.

Qi Yue felt a lot in her heart, the tip of her nose was sour, and her eyes gradually moistened.

uprooted, why doesn't she miss her grandparents......

Looking at Leader Jiang and Xiao Chifeng again, seeing their mother-in-law and grandson like this, the two of them glanced at each other, and the touch between their expressions was in full view, and they both silently withdrew the spell in their hands.

At the door of the inner room, the old woman wanted to take Layue into the house, but she saw him stop in place, gesturing in his hand, and raising his finger towards the three of them.

The old woman looked in the direction of his finger.

"Grandma, I was able to go home this time thanks to Sister Qi Yue." The gratitude in his eyes was palpable.

"Come into the house." Hearing this, the old woman hurried to greet her.

Layue nodded and shouted to a few people in the courtyard, "Sister Xiaoyue, come here, it's hot in the house." ”

"Good!" Qi Yue agreed.

After seeing that the two leaders of Jiang agreed, the three of them followed into the back room.

I saw that the decoration inside was simple and simple, and the walls were clean and dust-free. In the centre of the lobby is a table made of old wood and four small chairs, while two metres to the left is separated by a one-man high, whitewashed curtain.

"Sister Xiaoyue, sit down." Layue greeted and wiped the stool with her cuffs.

"Yes, sit down and rest, Layue has already explained to me, this time I want to thank you for your rescue."

Layue's grandmother also hurriedly beckoned a few people to sit down and rest, she was grateful, poured four cups of steaming tea, and served, "Hurry up and warm up while it's hot." ”

Qi Yue and the others looked respectful, took the hot tea with both hands, and immediately took a sip, "Grandma, we are just a gesture, so why worry about it." Looking sideways at Layue, seeing that he was well-behaved, a smile overflowed in his eyes, and he said sincerely: "We are very pleased to see that you and Layue can reunite." ”

"Really?"

A crisp female voice came from his residence, and several people looked sideways, only to see a slender jade hand lifting the corner of the curtain, and a girl in strange clothes slowly walked out of it.

"Beware!"

Qi Yue's voice whispered in his head.
