"Do you have to take the risk?" Xiao Qinghe asked.

I nodded seriously, thought about it, and said: "Actually, even if this monster does not appear, after the old wizard's funeral is over, I also plan to go back to the provincial capital, after all, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and my old man, but there is no news, I have never heard from him like this, I am very worried, maybe at the beginning, I shouldn't have listened to him so casually and came back." ”

As soon as he heard that I was going back to the provincial capital, Xiao Qinghe's expression suddenly relaxed, looked at me and said, "So you left this time, in addition to wanting to lure that Yan puppet away, not to affect your family, but to find your master's whereabouts?" ”

"Yes." I nodded and said: "After this series of things, I already have a lot in my heart, I rarely thought about it before, about our painting spirit school, these questions, only to ask my master to figure out, I don't want to wait like this, I don't know anything anymore, I have to find him as soon as possible, otherwise I can't say it with peace of mind, in case something really happens, I can't explain it to my family." ”

It is exactly the same strange bottle in the back hall where the portraits of the ancestors and the heads of the past dynasties are enshrined, and the old wizard thinks that there are some similar methods to me, a person who killed me once thirteen years ago, and came back thirteen years later, ready to take my life and harm my family, these have made me, for the first time, have many dark questions about this sect that I have never doubted before.

Now that the problem has appeared, then I must clarify these doubts as soon as possible, otherwise if I continue like this, the doubts in my heart will only get heavier and heavier, and I don't know more and more how to deal with myself, let alone what kind of mentality to use, to face this ancient sect that is as small and inconspicuous as the light of fire, but has been passed down for so long.

Trust this thing, like a dam full of water, seems to be unbreakable, but once a crack appears, even if it is just a little bit, if it is not dealt with in time, there is a risk that the levee will burst. If you really pay attention to it at that time, it will be irreparable.

"In that case, it's not an inappropriate choice for you to leave." People will have an indescribable sense of security in the places they are familiar with, and the ghost is no exception, after listening to my explanation, knowing that I was not hot-headed for a while, but a decision made after careful consideration, Xiao Qinghe was immediately relieved.

"The safety of your family can be handed over to me, even if that Yan puppet really uses them to force you back, before I fall, I won't let your family be in danger, but it's ...... on your side" After pausing to look at me, Xiao Qinghe said worriedly: "In case that Yan puppet, with the main messenger behind her, follows you to the provincial capital, you will be very dangerous." ”

"Don't worry, even if I'm not an opponent at all, they won't want my life for a while, otherwise I would have died a long time ago, so don't worry about my safety, the most worrying thing for me is my family, so I can only ask Sister Qinghe to you." I said calmly.

"Okay......" Knowing that it was impossible for me to change my mind, Xiao Qinghe didn't say anything more, and after thinking for a while, he said in a tone that seemed to be discussed, but in fact could not be refused: "In this way, I don't feel at ease if you take such a big risk alone." Since you have entrusted the safety of your family to me, I will definitely not live up to your trust, but you can't be without news all the time, so I hope that, whether you have anything to do or not, summon me every day to tell me about the situation, and it will be fine when the morning dawns and I will have to go back to the underworld. ”

It's not an unacceptable request, and in this way, I can exchange information at a fixed time and find out what is going on at home, so after thinking about it for a while, I agreed.

The idea of going back to the provincial capital was decided, and the next thing to do was to wait for my mother to wake up, how to convince her and my father to allow me to leave when something had just happened at home.

I have already figured it out, at most until about one o'clock at noon, if by then, my mother does not wake up, let Mr. Qian and Shi Shusheng use means to wake her up.

If I don't wake up at that time, it means that the probability of my mother waking up on her own is very low, even if she is forcibly woken up, it will cause her to get sick, and she must have that kind of ......

In the restless waiting, when it was already dawning at 6:40 in the morning, my dad finally called from the county hospital, saying that grandpa had woken up, the injury was not very serious, and it had been treated, and the brain CT scan had not yet yielded results, but grandpa's consciousness was very clear, and it seemed that there should be no major problem.

After talking about my grandfather's situation and learning that my mother still hadn't woken up, after a moment of silence, my dad asked me, what happened tonight? Why did everything happen all of a sudden? Why did your grandfather wake up and say that the first thing he said was to tell us to hurry up and call you home, saying that there was a ghost in the house and something was going to happen?

As soon as I heard this, I knew that things were really similar to what I thought, after my grandfather's soul left his body, he was not completely controlled by the puppet, and he was not conscious at all. It's just that what happened during that period was like a dream for him, so as soon as he woke up, he asked my dad to call me home.

But in this way, the rhetoric I had originally thought of could not be used, so after thinking about it, I told my father: I once offended a colleague with a bad heart, and such a thing happened because that person quietly followed me back to my hometown, and last night it was that person who hurt my grandfather by putting unclean things, and I accidentally injured my grandfather when dealing with dirty things.

Now, I can't hide anything from my family anymore, I have to let my dad and them, and keep a guard, making up a peer is undoubtedly the most suitable reason, not only to let them be careful in the future, but also not to make them worry too much.

The point is, in this way, I have a more good reason to go back to the provincial capital.

"What kind of person is it that he has such a great ability to dare to follow him to his home to take revenge?" Although "peers" is fictional, after I said this, it was quite true, so my dad immediately believed it.

"I do have some skills, but the most important thing is that this kind of people are not right, they dare to do anything harmful, and they don't have to worry too much, as long as they are careful and precautionary in the future, I will also deal with this matter." I say.

My dad was silent for a moment, then said, "What are you going to do?" It shouldn't be useful to call the police, I still know some things in your business, even if you report to the police, the police will accept it, and it is difficult to find evidence, so rolling in that line, the most important thing is to try not to offend the villain, because those people have the ability and have no bottom line...... You said that you are too, why don't you usually know to be careful and not to provoke this kind of person? It's going to be the New Year, and you dare to come to the house, it doesn't matter if you scare us, this time your grandfather was injured, and he won't blame you, but if you provoke this kind of person, what will you do in the future? Usually in the province, I am not less embarrassed......"

"Dad, don't worry, I'll really take care of it." Listening to my dad's concern far more than complaining, and his concern for me is far greater than his worry about themselves, I can't help but feel bad for a while: "Dad, there is competition in everything we do now, and we are no exception, as long as there is competition, it is indispensable to offend our peers...... But don't worry, I'll really take care of it, and tonight's incident will never happen again. ”

After talking for a while, I finally relieved my dad.

After asking me to take care of my mom and as soon as I woke up, I quickly called him and my dad hung up.

Grandpa is fine, and the next thing is to wait for my mother to wake up.

I don't know anything about the information and methods of the puppet, so I really don't have any confidence in whether my mother will wake up on her own initiative.

If I can't wake up, how can I explain to my family, and how can I continue to tell my dad that I "offended my peers"?

Glamorous, mysterious, can be called the mastermind behind the scenes, or a force.

There is no doubt that this person or force is not targeting me, but has a great deal to do with this little-known ancient sect to which I belong......

The worst feared thing did not happen after all.

Just after eight o'clock, my mother's tightly closed eyelids moved slightly, and then opened her eyes leisurely.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and Xiao Qinghe had already rushed back to the underworld at the last moment before dawn, although I was very worried about my mother, but after this night, I was still in a trance, and I knew that there were still many things to do, and I needed to keep my spirits, so when my mother woke up, I had already held one of her hands, lay on the side of the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

After a short sleep, I dreamed that my mom had woken up and was waking up normally, smiling and touching my head and talking to me. It wasn't until I was in a daze, when I felt like a hand was really touching my head, that I woke up suddenly.

Looking up, my mom had really woken up and was really looking at me with a smile on her face.

wiped his eyes, pinched his thighs a few more times, and dared to be sure that this was true, not an illusion, and then saw a sour nose, tears almost rushed out, and he cried with joy and asked: "Mom~~~ Are you awake?" ”

"Yes, Niannian, Mom woke up~" My mom smiled a little blankly, and then asked softly, "Didn't Mom just sleep?" Why are you still crying, when did you come here, and your father? ”

"Ah~ I just came over, and my dad didn't come back last night." Obviously, my mom didn't know what happened last night, so I was a little overwhelmed for a while, and it took me two seconds to react, realizing that I shouldn't let her know too much at once, so I wiped the corners of my eyes and smiled.

"Didn't come back? Did you help out at Uncle Changhong's house all night? As soon as I heard that I didn't come back, my mother suddenly felt a little strange, and was about to sit up from the bed, but she couldn't hold it up after a few times with her hands.

"What's going on? Why does Mom feel a little dizzy and can't exert her strength? ”

Seeing this, I quickly stood up and helped her, raised the pillow a little, and said, "Mom, if you don't have the strength, you can rest, don't get up, it's okay anyway." ”

"Look at what you said, how can it be okay, Mom has to get up to cook pig food and feed the pigs, although Lin Lin will come back the day after tomorrow, but as long as he is still raised for a day, he should be treated well for a day, Uncle Changhong's family also needs someone to help, Dagong Pan is a good person, there will be a lot of guests coming tomorrow, and I will start to be busy today, but I can't help but go over......" Broken Nian said, my mother tried to get up again.

I hurriedly held her up, didn't let her get up, and said: "Mom, I'll cook the pig food, you are not well, just rest well, and you don't need to go to Uncle Changhong's house to help, they will understand." ”

"What the hell is going on, what's wrong with Mom?" With this time, I was fully awake, and my mother suddenly realized that something was wrong from my words and woke up by the bedside, and raised her hand while rubbing her forehead.

"Last night, after your grandfather went to sleep, my mother wanted to watch TV downstairs and sleep when you and your father came back, but after waiting and waiting, I suddenly felt sleepy, so I had to turn off the TV and go upstairs to sleep...... Did something happen while Mom was sleeping? What time is it? ”

As soon as I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, I replied that it was already 8:11, my mother raised her hand softly, touched my face, and said: "Niannian, you are not allowed to hide it from your mother, when your mother is asleep, something bad must have happened, otherwise you will not stay by your mother's bed all night without sleeping, and you will cry as soon as your mother wakes up." ”

When it came to this, it was impossible for me not to say anything at all, so after hesitating for a while, I said softly: "Mom, it's okay if you want me to tell you 1510, but before that, can you tell me first, did you have any dreams?" ”

Hearing me ask if I had a dream, my mother was stunned for a moment, frowned lightly and thought about it, and said: "Yes, my mother had a long, long dream, just like the real thing, when I woke up just now, I thought it was a dream that you were sleeping on your stomach next to your mother's bed...... It wasn't until you cried and started talking that Mom knew that the previous one was a dream. ”

"What kind of dream is it?" I hurriedly asked.

Maybe it's really as Mr. Qian said, my mother did a "good dream" that made her very happy, listening to me ask about the content of the dream, she suddenly laughed a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "What else can it be, that is, I dreamed that you married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a well-behaved and clever beautiful granddaughter to my mother......"

It turned out that in her dream, Zhang Xiaowei and I got married, and after marriage, they were taken to the provincial capital, and we lived together in a small courtyard, and more than a year later, she gave birth to a daughter who was very similar to Zhang Xiaowei, very beautiful and smart, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the family was very harmonious and happy.

Most of the time in my dreams, my mom was with her granddaughter, who was growing up day by day. In the beginning, Zhang Xiaowei and I would often appear and interact with them, but as our "daughter" grew older, we rarely appeared, and in the end we never showed up again.
