Chapter 174: Uncle is no longer silent
At this time, I suddenly calmed down, but I was not as panicked as I was just now, knowing that I couldn't say that I was asking for money to handle the ghost commission anyway, even if I made up a lie casually, so that my uncle and aunt would misunderstand me and scold me, I couldn't tell them the real situation, so that they would be afraid of me.
For this reason, I turned my heart on the side and simply continued to lie: "I'm sorry, I lied to you, the 20,000 yuan was not borrowed by Yang Rui, I lost gambling in the teahouse, and I came to pay off the gambling debt today." ”
After I finished speaking, I didn't dare to look at my uncle, quietly waiting for my uncle's scolding, and even had the heart to be beaten.
However, my uncle did not scold me, let alone beat me, but sighed deeply.
I thought my uncle was disappointed in my performance, and I felt very sad about it. However, I am now trying to make my uncle misunderstand me, so although I am sad, my heart is calm.
Who knows, the uncle suddenly said: "Lin Han, you were brought up by your uncle since childhood, what kind of person are you, do you think your uncle doesn't count in his heart, how can you go to gamble, don't lie to your uncle." ”
I looked up at my uncle, and I didn't know whether to be happy or sad for his understanding and trust.
Immediately afterwards, my uncle said something that shocked me very much, and he said, "The place you just went to is not an ordinary teahouse, it is a ghost market. ”
You know, this ghost market is not known to ordinary people, and my uncle actually knows, how can this not shock me
I looked at my uncle in surprise and asked uneasily, "How did you know about the ghost market?"
My uncle's expression became serious again, stared at me, and said, "Don't ask me how I know about the ghost market, you tell me first, what are you doing in the ghost market?"
My uncle stared at me with dead eyes, probably because he was worried that I would lie to him again, and hurriedly added: "You must tell me honestly, don't think you can hide it from me." If you don't tell the truth, I'll take you to the ghost market, and I'll investigate it myself, I don't believe I can't figure out what you're doing. ”
It seems that my uncle is determined to investigate me today, and I can't help but panic and don't know what to do.
Seeing that I still refused to explain honestly, my uncle finally became angry, pushed the car door open, made a gesture to pull me out of the car, and said: "Since you refuse to say, then we will go to the ghost market now, I don't believe it and can't ask." ”
I was so anxious that my eyes almost flowed out, so I had to beg: "Uncle, why do you have to force me, I really have a hard time, I can't tell you." Rest assured, I didn't do anything bad. ”
When my uncle saw that I still wouldn't speak, he kicked the car door so angrily that he wanted to vent all his anger.
I subconsciously gritted my teeth.
My uncle kicked the car door so hard that his anger seemed to be vented to a certain extent, and he sat back in the car, closed the door, took out a cigarette and lit it, then leaned back in the seat and smoked, ignoring me.
I was very uneasy, and sat beside him as if I were sitting on pins and needles, and I didn't know what medicine he had in his gourd.
We sat without saying a word for more than ten minutes, my uncle smoked three cigarettes in a row, and the closed car was full of smoke, which made me cough again and again, but my uncle turned a deaf ear to my choking cough as if I didn't exist, but I endured it, and I didn't dare or think about getting out of the car or rolling down the window to breathe.
It wasn't until my uncle finished smoking the third cigarette that he finally broke the silence, leaned his head on the seat, didn't look at me, and said faintly: "Lin Han, do you know why your mother gave you to your uncle and aunt to raise?"
My heart shook, because it had always been a knot in my heart, and I had always wanted to know and deliberately avoided this question, and my uncle and aunt were also deliberately avoiding this question, just like me. However, my uncle took the initiative to mention this problem to me at this time. How could this not shock me
Although my heart fluctuated like a river and a sea, I didn't speak, just looked at my uncle nervously, waiting for his next step.
My uncle still didn't look at me, lit another cigarette, and while smoking, he said, "Because your Lin family's ancestors were cursed by ghosts, and your father died because of this." In order not to implicate you, your mother entrusted you to me and your aunt before you were born, hoping that you can grow up safely. ”
I looked at my uncle as if I had been electrocuted, and immediately remembered the scene when I saw my grandfather's ghost with the eye-opening charm when I went to visit my grandfather's grave, and when my grandfather revealed to me the mystery of my origins, but I didn't have time to tell me clearly. Later, I always had this pimple in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask my uncle because of concerns. Now that my uncle has finally mentioned it to me personally, how can this not surprise and make me nervous
I stammered and asked, "What the hell is going on, how can our Lin family be cursed by ghosts?"
My uncle finally turned his head to look at me, and now his eyes were no longer angry, but full of melancholy and pity for me. He said to me, "As for why your Lin family was under the ghost curse, and what kind of ghost curse you received, I don't know. When your mother gave you to me, she just told me again and again that you must not get close to the Taoist priest. She also said that the purpose of sending you to us to raise you is to keep you away from the Lin family, so that you can live your life safely without being affected by the ghost curse. ”
It turned out that my mother gave me to my uncle not because she didn't want me, but to protect me, I couldn't help but feel sad for a while, of course, but more shocked and confused, I don't understand what happened to our Lin family, why I was under the ghost curse, why didn't my mother let me get close to the Taoist priest, is this ghost curse related to the Taoist priest
I wanted to know more and more about it, but my uncle said he knew so little that he didn't know the details. I don't know if my uncle really didn't know, or if he just wouldn't tell me.
In addition, I was puzzled by my uncle's behavior today, he was obviously following me, and he also knew about the ghost market. Does that mean he also has a lot of secrets that I don't know?
At this time, my uncle suddenly became mysterious and strange in my eyes.
Of course, at this time, because I went to the ghost market, my uncle took the initiative to bring up the topic of hiding my life experience for 18 years, which shows that my behavior of secretly coming to the ghost market without him really made him feel the seriousness of the matter.
So,Could it be that this ghost market is related to my life experience,Otherwise,Why would my uncle be so nervous and angry about my sneaking to the ghost market?
