Chapter 4: Mysterious Calls
Lu Jia, who was asleep, was woken up by the sound of shaking mountains in the next room and the wheezing of a couple of men and women, and the pungent smell of perfume in the air made her sneeze several times in a row.
"The old man is really shameless!"
Lu Jia covered her head with the quilt and still couldn't sleep, so she simply went to the study to find some books to read, but she couldn't read any books in her irritability, flipping through them, her eyes stayed in a wooden box on the top floor of the bookshelf, and there was a talisman full of spells on the outside of the box. Inside the box was a quaint copper bell, and the copper bell also had a copy of the same talisman attached to it.
Jiang Hao next door felt the fluctuation of energy, he pushed away the woman who was forgetting his feelings, turned over and got out of bed, didn't even wear slippers, put on a pair of pants and ran into the study, and saw that Lu Jia was holding the copper bell in the study.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Don't move, girl!"
It's a pity that Jiang Hao shouted a little late, Lu Jia had already torn off the rune paper on the copper bell and shook it, although Lu Jia stopped when she heard the master's words, the copper bell did not stop because of this, it was still vibrating violently in her hand and getting more and more powerful, and at the same time, a huge energy fluctuation overflowed from the bell and spread out around.
"Descendants of the Lu family, I got out of trouble today, and I will come back to find you in the future."
The doors and windows were torn open by a powerful force, and the shrill sound of metal splitting and mixing with human screams had disappeared into the night sky, leaving only the windows still vibrating.
Jiang Hao looked at Lu Jia, who had been stunned by the aftermath, and smiled bitterly: "Girl, you are in trouble." At the same time, he was also annoyed by his pleasure tonight, otherwise Jiang Hao, who never left his body, would not be helpless when he saw the monster escape.
At this time, the woman with a face as thick as the fat powder that had just been painted over the wall had already changed her clothes, and when she was about to go out, she said to Jiang Hao lightly: "Little brother, it seems that today is not going well, next time we play, I still have a lot of skills that you can't estimate." Then he glanced at Lu Jia, who fell to the ground and fell unconscious, his eyes full of provocation.
After Lu Jia woke up, Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed, "Cough.... Is the girl awake? ”
"Master, who won't wake up when your old man is so loud? The next time you do something shameful, can you avoid some children? What a shame! Lu Jia said indignantly.
"Girl, the master is going out for a while, and take good care of himself when I'm not there in the future." Jiang Hao touched his nose as he spoke.
Since then, Jiang Hao has gone home less often, even if he comes back every time, he just leaves money for Lu Jia and leaves, and then simply transfers the money to the account, sometimes people don't see anyone for a month or two.
In a blink of an eye, Lu Jia was twenty-two years old, and the old cat Mo Xue who accompanied her was already old, and Lu Jia also graduated from college.
Lu Jia Qiqi and Zhou Mo opened a studio together, often teaching students, selling paintings, and making appointments with magazines, and the days were quiet. She thought she could stay quiet like this, until one day, she received a call from a stranger that changed all that.
"Is Mr. Jiang here?"
The man's voice on the phone was hoarse and deep, and he couldn't make out any accent.
"What do you call it, and which Mr. Jiang are you looking for?"
"You're his daughter, aren't you? I heard that your eyes are beautiful. If Mr. Jiang Hao comes back, please tell him that the one who bought the lychee has returned. ”
"Little girl, don't forget to tell me."
"Toot ......"
Lu Jia was vigilant, although she was on the phone, this voice still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but the beep sound seemed to bring cold air from the other end of the phone to Lu Jia's brain, and he couldn't help but shiver and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this time, Qiqi pushed her:
"Jiajia, why are you stupid? After hanging up, you've been standing here for a full minute. ”
Qiqi, this Nizi is very lively on weekdays, and her push made Lu Jia sober up, and the chill in her whole body slowly faded, "Huh? Oh. ”
Lu Jia hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer Qiqi. She recalled the content of the phone call just now, and then remembered that she hadn't seen her master for two months. Lu Jia felt uneasy for a while, she dialed the master's phone, planning to tell the master the content of the phone just now, but the master's phone was turned off several times.
The master's phone never turned off, especially when he saw Lu Jia's phone call missed records, even if he didn't answer something at the time, he would reply, and this was the first time she had encountered a shutdown when she was so old.
At night, Lu Jia remembered the uncomfortable feeling brought by the man on the phone, and a burst of fear for no reason. Even though she didn't know what to expect, the instinct for danger told her that something was going to happen.
She has long had such an experience: on the way out of school, walking on a familiar path every day, she suddenly had a heart palpitation, so she took a long detour home; As a result, the next morning I heard that a child had somehow fallen into a well on the path.
This time her danger alarm was particularly strong, as if the alarm before the storm was stronger than the other. She hugged the old cat in her arms tightly, while silently reciting the simple words "calm, calm, calm, calm..... The master will be fine" to comfort himself while forcing himself to sleep.
But the more nervous she was, the more she couldn't sleep, just when her eyelids had already begun to fight, Lu Jia heard the phone text message prompt, she excitedly grabbed her mobile phone and saw a text message from the master: "Go find you Uncle Hu." ”
When I called back again, it was turned off again.
She still couldn't sleep when she put down the phone, and the tense nerves she had been tense for days made her feel a little tired, and her eyelids became extremely heavy and drooped. She rubbed her eyes and saw a faint light. How can there be light in the house? She got up and looked closely, but she couldn't see it really, and suddenly she had the illusion that she was in a sea of fire, but these steaming flames were not hot, but cold.
She looked around, and found that there was a bottomless abyss under her feet, and some steam was spewing from under the abyss, and her face was still cold when she was angry, and she touched it, and saw the blood on her hands, and the viscous blood reflected the red face of a man with his eyes gouged out on the firelight.
There seemed to be something staring at him in the dark darkness without eyeballs, and then some cool things on his face flowed down, dripping on his hands and clothes, more and more, and he looked down, it was blood, or blood!
"Girl, I'm down there."
Before she could react, she heard Jiang Hao's voice faintly coming up from the bottom of the abyss with the whistling wind, listening, watching, leaning over to face the abyss to find the figure of the master, and suddenly she felt that someone was pushed behind her, and her eyes were dark, her feet were soft, and she fell headfirst into the abyss.
"Ahh ....." Lu Jia exclaimed, and the whole person sat up from the bed, and the clothes behind him were already soaked with sweat.
