Chapter 9: Aunt Xia is dead

Aunt Xia died, on the night of the twenty-eighth day of Lu Qiqi's arrival.

That night, the moon was bright and dark, and the rolling Netherworld Mountain in the distance was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, hazy and faint, like a behemoth lying there, staring at the Yongle Village in the low place without blinking.

Lu Qiqi was a little uneasy before she went to bed, and when she was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard Aunt Xia calling her.

She woke up suddenly, reflexively sat up from the bed, and listened.

"Ah Qi!" Aunt Xia's weak voice came from the next room, which seemed a little ethereal in the silent night.

When Lu Qiqi heard this, he secretly thought, Aunt Xia probably can't do it!

In the past few days, she has slept very lightly at night, and she is afraid that when she gets up, Aunt Xia has already left!

She quickly put on a dress and carried an electronic light to Aunt Xia's room.

"Grandma!"

Aunt Xia had already gotten up by herself, leaning on the head of the bed, her complexion seemed to be much better than in the daytime, and her mind was much clearer, but this also shocked Lu Qiqi, isn't this the legendary return to light?

Aunt Xia saw Lu Qiqi walk in, an unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, and she watched Lu Qiqi slowly approach.

"Ah Qi, come, sit down!" Aunt Xia patted the position next to the bed and said weakly to Lu Qiqi.

"Okay, Grandma!" Lu Qiqi quickly walked to the side of the bed, took a small bamboo stool casually, sat in the place designated by Aunt Xia, and then put the electronic lamp on the table beside him.

Aunt Xia's eyes looked at the electronic light! The emotions in his eyes are indescribable.

"Oh, Grandma, I brought this lamp!" Lu Qiqi didn't know how to explain this solar electronic lamp that should not have appeared in this world.

Aunt Xia shook her hand and said in a low voice, "That world should be very advanced!"

Lu Qiqi didn't hear it clearly, but he seemed to hear it a little again, and his face suddenly became surprised, what does Aunt Xia mean by this? Did she know she was from another world?

"Grandma, what did you just say?" The shock on Lu Qiqi's face was obvious, and she asked cautiously.

"Nothing." Aunt Xia looked at Lu Qiqi fixedly for a long time.

For more than 20 days, Aunt Xia has been in a semi-comatose state, occasionally sobering up, and she can't speak, just looking at Lu Qiqi for a while, and then falling asleep again.

If it's so abnormal today, something must happen!

"Ah Qi, this ...... Days...... Thank you! Without...... You, I guess ...... long ago. There was a slight glint in the corners of Aunt Xia's eyes.

"Grandma, don't say that, if you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't even have a place to live, I'm a newcomer, I'm not familiar with the place, and it's safe to live in Grandma's house."

"Ah Qi, I know, you ...... There must be a lot of questions about me, not me...... I don't want to tell you, but I can't tell you, time ...... didn't arrive, and if I said it early, it broke the law, but it was a bad thing. "Aunt Xia spoke very slowly, and she had to breathe for a while when she said a word, but her voice was still relatively clear.

After listening to Aunt Xia's words, Lu Qiqi swallowed the words that he originally wanted to ask while Aunt Xia was awake, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

She sensitively noticed that Aunt Xia had no ill will towards her, but on the contrary, she gave her a sense of intimacy as an elder, which was why she had always been willing to take care of Aunt Xia wholeheartedly.

Aunt Xia turned around, trembled and took out a pendant of black string from under the pillow and stuffed it into Lu Qiqi's hand.

"Ah Qi, come, take this!"

"Grandma, this ......, this ......?"

Lu Qiqi hurriedly shook his head, no merit, it seems that Aunt Xia is very precious to this necklace, how can she win people's love!

"Ah Qi, this ...... What is not...... Gold and silver jewelry is nothing but ......, a stone...... That's it," Aunt Xia said a few words, gasping a little, she took a break and continued, "There is ...... on this stone, there is demonic energy, you ......." ”

Lu Qiqi was shocked in his heart, looked down at the stone necklace in his hand, and was speechless.

The shape of the pendant is very peculiar, it looks like a broken stone, dark red like the coagulated blood of a human being, and the tentacles are slightly cool! On closer inspection, there seemed to be a black demonic aura circling around her hand.

If you were an ordinary person, you would have been so frightened that you would have thrown it away, but Lu Qiqi's first reaction was not fear, but heart congestion.

When she first saw her, she felt a pain in her heart, as if she had been stung by a wasp, and the sudden stinging sensation made her almost dizzy.

A stone that is so broken that it can't be seen at all, why does Aunt Xia value it so much? What about the rest of the stone? Where is it? Why does it break? Why is there a demonic aura around?

Lu Qiqi didn't know why Aunt Xia gave her the broken stone necklace.

She didn't know why her heart was tingled the moment she saw the broken stone.

She wanted to grasp the faint pain in her heart and experience what it meant!

But the feeling was fleeting, and she didn't have a chance to seize it.

But she secretly knew something in her heart, perhaps, that's why she came here!

She landed in this Yongle Village, it must not be random!

Here's the secret she needs to uncover!

In a short period of time, thousands of threads floated through Lu Qiqi's mind, making her unable to calm down, and countless questions appeared in her eyes!

Aunt Xia's eyes were a little sloppy, her eyes looked through the window, staring at the dark mountains in the distance, her eyes full of reluctance.

She whispered softly: "Ah Yu......, don't worry, wait a little longer, it's almost ......, Ah Qi, go to ...... in the middle of the year, gather ......, and Ah Yu will be able to ......." ”

Aunt Xia's whispers woke up the cranky Lu Qiqi.

"Grandma, you ......, what are you saying, I can't hear clearly!"

Lu Qiqi lay in front of Aunt Xia, trying to hear her voice clearly, but Aunt Xia's voice was annihilated in her throat, and she only vaguely heard the three words of Zhongyuan Festival, and nothing else was heard.

The light in Aunt Xia's eyes became darker and darker, until the last trace of fire was extinguished, and she was still staring at the direction of the Netherworld Mountain in the distance.

"Grandma ......, Grandma ......."

Lu Qiqi pushed Aunt Xia, wanting to wake her up, but unfortunately, Aunt Xia didn't have a trace of response, she left with her secret!

Lu Qiqi's tears fell drop by drop, although she and Aunt Xia had only been together for less than a month, although she was taking care of Aunt Xia most of the time, but because of Aunt Xia's existence, her heart that was hesitant and scared because of her first arrival was settled, and Aunt Xia gave her a place to stay and comforted her.

When Aunt Xia was sober, she would kindly hold her hand and say to her, "Ah Qi, don't be afraid. ”

She looked like her deceased grandmother.

Looking at Aunt Xia, who was no longer silent, Lu Qiqi's tears slipped down in large pieces.

Tears fell on the stone pendant in his hand and were instantly absorbed.

In the tomb of the god of war in the depths of the forest, there was also a bright and dark blue light.

Lu Qiqi cried for a while, then wiped away her tears, Aunt Xia was gone, she had to cheer up and arrange her funeral.

She grabbed the necklace in her hand, looked at it and looked at it, and then without thinking about it, she hung it around her neck, and the pendant hung above her heart, and the cold feeling made her tremble instantly.

The heart and the stone are close together, sharing each other's temperature and vitality, and a spiritual power connects each other.

A dull whimper sounded from the Netherworld, waking up the animals in the forest and causing a commotion.

"Seventy-seven?" Lu Liang got up in the middle of the night and saw that the light in Aunt Xia's room was on, so he leaned on the window and looked, which scared him a lot.

"Ah Liang, Grandma...... let's go!" Lu Qiqi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Liang, who hurriedly walked in.

There was no sadness on Lu Qiqi's face, but it made Lu Liang read the sadness in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, Grandma is not very good in the first place, and your care has made her delay for a while!"

At this moment, Lu Liang felt that the heroic, hearty, and domineering Lu Qiqi had disappeared, and she was like a dazed and weak child, unable to find her way home, and his heart was hit by an unknown force.

With the help of the villagers, Lu Qiqi quickly dealt with Aunt Xia's funeral.

Following Aunt Xia's last wishes, cremation was adopted.

It's just that after the fire was extinguished, everyone was surprised to find that when cleaning up Aunt Xia's ashes, they couldn't find a little bone slag, there were charcoal slags everywhere, and in desperation, they could only hold a handful of charcoal ashes and put them in the urn.

Only Lu Qiqi knew that Aunt Xia's body disappeared not long after it was ignited.

Phantom Five tells her that Aunt Xia doesn't really have a physical body, it's just a wisp of her soul.

The soul dissipated, and the phantom body disappeared with it!

Aunt Xia has a secret! And this secret is also related to yourself!

Lu Qiqi knows this very well, so what she should do next is most likely to dig out this secret!
