Chapter 279: A Family
It's actually quite simple, just because the past is gone.
We can't get back to that old feeling.
The next day, I returned to Fuquan City according to the itinerary and continued to work on my own makeup. But when I remembered that the land had asked me to help him find the lost monster, I remembered the importance of this matter.
I don't know where that monster went, hey, now I'm sitting in Yuxuan's office and sighing, thinking of the land and saying that if I can't find it in two years, I will become his stand-in, and hook off my soul to help him guard the temple, what should I do? Do I really only have two years to live?
But now there are two years to look for, I guess it's still possible, and since I don't have a clue now, I can only think about it for now.
It's better to live the current life first, if there are really only two years, I should live better, otherwise I really won't have a chance to die in the future! Maybe it's because of my strong self-resolution skills, so it's naturally easier for me to think about it this way.
When it was time to get off work, I suddenly saw Xiaoyan waiting for me outside, she came this time to save her when I was traveling, at this moment she was a little shy and said to me: "You saved me last time, it should not be injured yet, my family has some good Chinese medicinal oil, you can come!" β
"Oh, that's good!" I don't know if I have a good impression of her, so I agreed, in fact, Xiaoyan is indeed not bad, and extremely gentle, which is better than Yu Xuan, of course, I didn't refuse Yu Xuan because of this, but because I felt that we were really inappropriate.
Since I promised Xiaoyan, I would go back with her, but on the way, I asked her again, "Are your parents not there?" Otherwise, if I go back like this, will they think what? β
"Don't be afraid, they all went to Zhuhai to do business!"
"Oh, that's fine!"
Soon we arrived, and I saw that her home was a small cottage with many exquisite antiques, and I asked, "Your father is an antique dealer?" β
"Yes, that's why I was so confident to identify that Buddha statue last time, but I didn't know that I was in trouble because of this!" Talking about Xiaoyan, he stuck out his tongue as if he was sorry.
I didn't speak, and in the evening she said that she wanted to stay here for the stay, I don't know if it was because of her luxury here or what, I actually agreed, and also gave Xiaoyan to help me smear the scars that still remained on my back, she was indeed very gentle, every movement was meticulous, making people feel like a virtuous wife taking care of herself.
I was probably tired, just like this, I gradually fell asleep, sleeping very deeply, and I saw myself walking hand in hand with Min Xiaoyan on a grassland, with a happy smile on my face. I thought it was true, but when I smiled, I suddenly woke up, and I remembered everything just now and realized that it was a dream.
At this moment, I just heard something from downstairs, and I wanted to go to Min Xiaoyan, who knew that when I went down the stairs, I found a man in his forties sitting in the hall, could this man be Min Xiaoyan's father? I was shocked, what would he think if I knew I was here? But now he can't escape, because he has seen me going downstairs.
When he saw me, he was surprised and asked, "Who are you?" How did you get home? β
I hurriedly explained: "I'm Xiaoyan's colleague, and I came here yesterday because I was a little uncomfortable!" β
"What? No way, who the hell are you? Otherwise, I'll go to the police right away? β
Why is this man like this, I said that my Xiaoyan colleague why is he so surprised? So I said, "I'm Xiaoyan's colleague, she brought me back yesterday, and you're her father, right?" β
"I'm her father indeed, did you really see Xiaoyan last night?"
"yes, and I saw her unlock and come in, and then she put medicine on me in the room!"
Hearing me say this, the man was shocked and showed an extremely confused expression and said, "But Min Xiaoyan is dead, how can you see her person?" β
"Isn't it? You're not kidding me with me, are you? β
"Do you think I'm going to make a joke with my own daughter's life?"
Yes, he couldn't have done that, as a father, it was impossible for him to joke with his daughter's life, so what he said was true? I didn't dare to accept this reality, because it was clear that I really seemed to be with Xiaoyan last night, so I defended: "No! Didn't she go on a trip with us the other day? I also found an antique in the mountains! β
"It's just a while ago, it seems that on the first day of the tour, she was already dead, and now the body has been buried! Because my family has money, I didn't send it to the funeral home! β
"Ahh I exclaimed, not believing that what the man in front of me was telling me was true, but how to explain the fact that Xiaoyan saw a hanging woman pointing to the window in the hotel at the beginning?
There can only be one possibility, that is, Xiaoyan was in a spirit state at that time, so she saw her own kind, which can be guessed, but a new question has arisen, that is, how did Xiaoyan die at that time? Why didn't we notice it at all?
Is it because of this that I have to go back to Zhanjiang to investigate? I can't leave at all now, and I don't want to go back there, after all, there are too many things in the hotel and the academy, this time I asked Tong Ling'er and them to help me investigate, and I plan to leave Min Xiaoyan's house first.
Xiaoyan's father saw that I had no intention of staying, and knew that I was Xiaoyan's friend, so he didn't keep me, so I said goodbye to him and left.
Who knows that not long after I got out of the gate, the phone beeped up, I took out the phone and looked inside, and found that it was Li Haoming calling, is there something wrong with this buddy? It's so early, look at the time, I guess I want to go to his house to play on Sunday.
Thinking about it, I answered the phone, and Li Haoming on the phone said to me: "Dude, will you come over today?" I don't have to go to work! β
"I already knew that you were bored and wanted to find someone to accompany you, and I just came back from a trip and bought you some souvenirs? And guess what? β
"I don't know, it's okay if you come, it won't be food, right?"
I laughed and teased him: "I guess I haven't seen you for a while, you are still the same, always thinking about eating!" β
"I just can't change this problem, so my body shape has always remained so fat, okay, now you come here, I'm going to hang up!"
Hoarseββ! I don't know if I heard it wrong, but at the moment when Li Haoming was about to hang up the phone, I actually heard a sound like a finger scratching the glass, I think it should be caused by the poor signal of the mobile phone, right? Therefore, I did not take it to heart.
In this way, I took a taxi to the downstairs of Li Haoming's community, and walked to the elevator of his house with memory, because his home is relatively high, so it will take a long time to go up without taking the elevator, just near the elevator I found a mailbox with a large number of letters, at that time I thought it was because of curiosity, I actually took some and read it, who knew that those letters were written two years ago, but no one has received them today, has the person who received the letter has moved away?
I saw that I was bored, so I put down the letter, continued to walk in the direction of the elevator, found the elevator, I pressed the button to open the door, but found that the elevator had not come down for a long time, as if there were many people upstairs using it, so I waited patiently there.
After a while, the elevator finally came down, it was empty, I wanted to walk in, who knew that the elevator didn't wait for me to lift my foot and automatically close the door and continue to rise, I think this elevator is broken? Why I pressed the door button and it didn't respond.
At that moment, I originally wanted to change to take the stairs, but after thinking about it, it would be a waste of time to take the stairs like this, and I didn't want to waste my physical strength, you must know that it was not a few floors but a dozen floors, and I didn't know when I would go, even if I went up, I estimated that I would be very tired, so I still chose to continue to wait for the elevator to come down.
This time the elevator finally came down again, there is transparent glass in front of the door of this elevator, so the door does not need to be opened, I can see the situation inside, but there are many people in the elevator at the moment, an elderly couple, a girl born in the nineties, and a few women, a man and a child who is held by a woman, basically the whole family is the same, I saw that the elevator is very crowded and asked them: "Why don't you come out to the first floor?" β
But they just asked me, "Don't talk nonsense, are you going to take the elevator, if you do, come here!" If you don't sit down, we'll go up! β
I didn't dare to hesitate to hear them say this, because I had wasted almost 20 minutes waiting for the elevator here, and now that the elevator finally came down, of course I couldn't help but walk straight in.
Then I pressed the floor I went up, and I was going to talk to some of the people next to me, but they didn't pay attention to my heart as if they had something to do.
I ignored them and waited patiently for the elevator to go up to about the 10th floor, when there was a double thump, and suddenly the elevator stopped working, and the lights went out, and then only a dim sensor light came on.
Grass! I thought this should be the elevator broken, I was trapped here, I wanted to take out the emergency phone to dial, but found that the place did not respond, as if the power was out, I anxiously said to the people around me: "What should I do?" We're stuck here, huh? β
Everyone looked blankly ahead, ignoring me, and only one of them, an old woman, said simply, "Don't be nervous, someone will help us soon!" β
"I know, but how do you let the building's security know that the alarm is out of power?"
I was extremely nervous and anxious to stay in the elevator, but the others were expressionless, as if they were not afraid of being trapped in the elevator at all, even if they were not in a hurry, right? I almost blew them up.
Fortunately, at this time, the alarm finally reacted a little, emitting a hoarse echo, but didn't I hear this echo somewhere just now?
It felt strange but I didn't remember where I heard it, and then I said to the voice, "We're stuck in the elevator, hurry up and get someone to help!" β
"Oh, okay, us? I only see you alone in the elevator! β
"What? You say I'm the only one in the elevator? No way? There are many people behind me, and there are young and old, are you mistaken? β
I wanted to say something, but the other party's call has been cut off, so I think the siren is out of order again, right? Those people just now are the same, how do you say that I am the only one in the elevator?
Are they ghosts? Experience told me to look at their feet immediately, and I really found that their feet were off the ground, and when I came up just now, it was probably because the lights of this elevator were too dim so I didn't notice it, and now when I finally noticed the problem, the few people off the ground made me feel a chill all over my body.
It made me feel as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and my whole body was numb, and after I knew their identities, I stopped hiding them, so I said to them, "Are you all ghosts?" β
"How do you know? We thought you didn't know? Hehe! "The people on the elevator who were originally very reluctant to pay attention to me actually said this sentence in unison at this moment, and laughed collectively as they spoke, as if they were a very funny outlier among this ghost.
At that time, I was frightened enough by the evil aura on their bodies, this elevator space is narrow, and the number of ghosts is more than ten, if they pounce together, I may not be their opponents, plus my powerful magic weapons will take some time to open.
What should I do? At this moment, I should maintain a good relationship with them, and I must not become hostile to them, otherwise it will be over, so I said, "Whether it is a ghost or a human, I am a cultivator, and I happened to go to play with friends today, and I never thought that I would encounter this kind of thing!" β
"Cultivator! Oh, but how could this building have the person you're looking for? It's been deserted for years, unless you're looking for a dead man or a ghost! β
It was the old woman who spoke to me just now, she was wearing short sleeves, it was winter, I thought she should have died in the summer, otherwise she would not have been dressed like this, so I asked curiously: "I went to my friend's house some time ago, this building is so good, how can it be deserted?" β
