Chapter 3: Distant Relatives
I was so shocked that I almost fell to the ground, holding on to the table and chair next to me with both hands.
"You...... How could you ......" I remember that the second uncle said that Shen Qingqiu would not come over in the past two days, so how did she appear?
Or is it that even the second uncle's fortune is not accurate?
I calmed down, Shen Qingqiu's smiling face had not dissipated, and he looked at me in a panic, with a hint of banter on his expression.
on this.
I was too scared to make a sound, and I was still holding the green candle given by my second uncle in my hand.
Right!
The second uncle said that when you encounter this situation, just ignite it.
I took out a match and lit the candle, facing Shen Qingqiu's face, the smell of the candle overflowing made me want to gag.
Shen Qingqiu's face changed drastically, his body twisted in front of him, and he looked at me in disbelief.
"Chen Tian, you don't have to be so cruel to me, right?" Shen Qingqiu scolded angrily, and disappeared, and I watched her soul burrow into my cuffs, and in the cuffs...... It's the blonde hairpin.
I was so frightened that I quickly shook it, and the blonde hairpin instantly fell to my feet.
Oddly enough...... The green silk wrapped around it is gone, could it be that the appearance of Shen Qingqiu's ghost just now is made of green silk?
I blew out the candle and found that it had been burning for a while, and the wax was not lacking, and it was a strange thing.
Although Shen Qingqiu is gone, I am still worried that she will still come to the door.
Sitting in the lobby all day, holding a wicker in my hand and grabbing a handful of copper coins, I would light the candle whenever there was some disturbance, so as not to cause any accidents.
But the hours passed little by little, and the second uncle had not come back yet.
It was getting late outside, and I wanted to step out of the threshold and go to the village to look for him.
But my mind still echoes the words that my second uncle said to me.
I can't go out, after all, stay at home and wait for my second uncle to come back.
I gritted my teeth, my eyes crossed, and I could only continue to wait for news.
Night falls.
The evening breeze blew lightly on the curtain outside, and the banner hanging next to the coffin was blown by the wind, and the bell was tied underneath, and the bell jingled when the wind blew.
I finally fell asleep a little, wanted to relax, never thought, the bell woke me up, instantly sleepy, and thought something was wrong, but take a closer look, except for the distant wind, there is nothing to do.
It was quiet outside, and the sound of the wind blowing the trees came to my ears.
But the more this happened, the more panicked I became.
I looked back at the clock hanging on the wall, and it was almost early in the morning.
The second uncle went to the village chief's house, and it was only a few hours back and forth, so how could it be delayed all day? The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the uneasiness in my heart arose, and I wanted to go out to find the trace of my second uncle.
I'm afraid something will happen to him.
The second uncle is the only person in the world who is in me, and I can't let him have another accident.
No matter how afraid Shen Qingqiu is, I can't let the second uncle lose his life for me.
I took a flashlight and was about to go out, but before I took the first step, I heard footsteps at the door, and I was overjoyed and thought that my second uncle would come back.
But when the person at the door walked in, it was a strange smiling face.
When they look at me, their faces are full of smiles, but I always feel panicked.
Who is he?
"Who are you looking for?" I asked, then stepped back and took the wicker in my hand, the candle eager to be lit.
Seeing this, he hurried over, and then stopped my hand from lighting the candle, "This is a good thing, how can you waste it for me?" Don't order it, I'm not a ghost. ”
I stared at him curiously, and I can assure you that I had never seen this face before.
"You see, I still have a shadow, and if I am a ghost, where does the shadow come from?" He pointed to his feet, spun around in front of me a few times, and pushed the candle back into my arms, looking at it like a baby.
"And who are you? You don't want to come shopping, do you? I can help you make the shroud and umbrella, but the rest needs to wait for my second uncle to come back. ”
I didn't take over my second uncle's other crafts, and I only learned some scratches.
On weekdays, the second uncle told me the most things, that is, the story about ghosts and gods, I thought he was joking, but now when I think of Shen Qingqiu, I find that I underestimate the second uncle's skills, you must know that it will be so, I must learn the ability to exorcise ghosts, and I will not be passive.
"Okay, I know what you think, it's not too late to learn skills."
He understood me, and patted me on the shoulder as he spoke, as if encouraging.
But I quickly reacted, the two of us had just met, he was so enthusiastic, there must be a conspiracy, and he could tell about ghosts and gods, he was not an ordinary person.
I took a step back and looked at him warily, trying to look around to see if there was anything to defend myself in.
His hands were still frozen in the air, his eyebrows were raised, and his expression was a little helpless, "Brother, are you serious about taking half a step back?" ”
"We don't know each other, how do you know these things? You won't be the second uncle's nemesis, will you? ”
Speaking of which, I've also read a lot of novels, what kind of sworn enemies take advantage of your bad to kill you, and the kind of people you trust the most to threaten you and force you to comply.
The second uncle has no news yet, he said it, and no one can believe it.
He was a little crying and laughing because of what I said, rubbed his nose, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was exactly the same as the one that the second uncle gave me, and even the carved pattern had not changed.
"Do you know this?" He shook the jade pendant and asked proudly.
I had a jade pendant from my second uncle around my waist, and I subconsciously covered it.
"You don't have to be too wary of me, I am related to you and my second uncle, I am the second cousin's child of your mother's sister's husband's sister's sister, speaking of which is twisted and turned, I am a few years older than you, you might as well call me eldest brother."
This......
The corners of my mouth twitched, what does it have to do with it?
"And what's your name?" I asked.
"Li Jia, you can call me Brother Jia, I know that your kid is Chen Tian, the only seedling of the old Chen family, a corpse child, you are now an adult, and you are targeted by many ghosts and gods, and they all want to suck your yang energy dry, that Shen Qingqiu also has to be careful, don't look beautiful, you are also interested in the yang energy in your body, if you are fascinated by her, there is only one way to die."
Hearing Li Jia's description, my back was cold, and he asked me about it so clearly, wouldn't it be all told by the second uncle?
"What about my second uncle?" I asked eagerly, "He didn't come back after he went out, I wanted to go out to find him, you came, since you also have this jade pendant, you should also have the same ability as the second uncle, right?" ”
Li Jia sighed, went over and sat down, poured a cup of tea, min, tightened his fingers, and finally told me about the second uncle.
"I will actually come, I will receive a signal from Second Uncle Chen, he is worried about his life, so he will use the exclusive signal to find me, from the time you were born, the fate of us people is to protect you, if he has an accident, I will come until you have the ability to save your life."
