The second volume of the old line The Eightieth Edge The Guardian of His Youth
Tang Yuanyuan probably spent nearly an hour explaining to Tang Qi what he had encountered in the past few months.
From the first acquaintance with Yi Huai, to the fact that they formed a spiritual contract, lived together, solved some troublesome events in life, and why they came back here.
Of course, she omitted some very dangerous processes, such as being almost imprisoned as a sinner when she went to the underworld, and almost being seriously injured and losing her life while solving things such as ghost babies, she didn't mention these things, because she didn't want Tang Qi to worry about things that had already passed.
Yi Huai and Xun acted as spectators on the side, anyway, they didn't have so Tang Yuanyuan who could explain clearly, and they might not be so good at communicating with Old Man Tang, plus Tang Yuanyuan had mentioned to them before he came to omit some facts that were inconvenient to tell Old Man Tang, so in order to prevent them from inadvertently leaking their mouths, they directly chose to keep them silent.
So under Tang Yuanyuan's description, Tang Qi finally understood all the conditions thoroughly.
"So, now this kid named Yi Huai and that fox are almost bound to you, that's what it means, right?"
After listening to Tang Yuanyuan's long narration, the first thing Tang Qi asked was this sentence.
"Yes... Although the situation is a bit complicated, um, but in terms of the effect of the Spirit Pact and the Blood Pact, it should be like this. Tang Yuanyuan laughed twice and touched his cheek, "A little more detailed about these two contracts, I thought about coming back to check if there was any record in my grandmother's information." ”
Tang Qi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yi Huai and Xun again, and asked, "Isn't there a way to cancel these two contracts?" ”
As soon as Old Man Tang said this, Yi Huai and Xun couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and they were a little worried for no reason.
Although he could understand that Tang Qi was Tang Yuanyuan's grandfather, when he knew that they had a special connection with his granddaughter, his first reaction was to break this contract to protect her, after all, he had no reason to trust them.
But when they really heard this and asked, they couldn't help but spread a psychology called fear in their hearts.
Because Old Man Tang asked this, it already means that he is not happy to see them have such a contractual relationship with Tang Yuanyuan, and is it possible that Tang Yuanyuan chooses to abandon them because of this?
After all, for human beings, compared to their strangeness of not being a species and existence at all, relatives who have been together for many years with blood thicker than water must be more credible and caring existences, and Tang Yuanyuan's family that regards her as the pearl of the palm of the family is even more so, and her family's love for her and her trust in her family are self-evident.
Whether it was Yi Huai or Huan, they all knew in their hearts that Tang Yuanyuan's relationship with them at the beginning actually had a certain passive component, especially Yi Huai knew that she might just have no choice at that time.
Tang Yuanyuan didn't reply immediately after hearing Tang Qi's words, but blinked as if he was thinking about something.
Yi Huai couldn't help but tense his nerves.
And if the contract was really terminated meant that they would no longer have a reason to be related, Yi Huai couldn't imagine what reason he could have to stay by Tang Yuanyuan's side now if he didn't have that spiritual contract.
Although the spirit contract was indeed unsolvable, he was still afraid to hear from Tang Yuanyuan that she wanted to break the contract.
After all, that meant that she didn't want to be associated with him, and she didn't want to be with him, and the very fact itself scared him more than anything now.
He can no longer imagine life without Tang Yuanyuan......
Just when this kind of terrible thought popped up in his mind, he suddenly heard Tang Yuanyuan's answer with a smile.
"Oh, grandpa, you don't need to worry about this." She said, "I know you're worried about the burden and impact this contract will have on me, but rest assured that I'm not negatively affected." ”
"And we've been living together for a few months, getting along very well, they've helped me a lot, and now we're real friends and family, and everything is fine, but we haven't had time to tell Dad and you."
"It was my choice to sign a contract with them, and it was my commitment to live with them. It's a special fate for me, so I won't break the contract unless they want to leave. ”
Tang Yuanyuan's words fell on Yi Huai's ears, and suddenly easily wiped out all his panic and anxiety, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at the side face of the girl who was talking with a smile, but in an instant, he happened to meet the other party turning his head and looking at him.
Tang Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes also had a smile in them, and at the same time, she also wrote firmness, she may be looking at him at this moment to make him feel at ease, but Yi Huai's heart trembled, and suddenly he felt hit by something.
Then came the familiar tension and excitement that came to him for some reason, and he had to nod his head quietly while quietly lowering his eyes, focusing on calming his inexplicable emotions.
Tang Yuanyuan has long been accustomed to his behavior of avoiding his gaze, after all, Yi Huai has always been like this recently, he doesn't seem to like to look at her very much, she doesn't mind, anyway, she just wants to show her attitude, and she doesn't need any response.
Her words are very clear, she has indeed regarded Yi Huai and Huan as her real "own people", and because of their contract and some of the things that are happening around her now, she has also decided to live with them.
Because then she can be safe, and have the spare energy to find out what is about her.
In Tang Yuanyuan's opinion, this is a kind of reciprocity, which is good for herself and Yi Huai, but even so, if Yi Huai and Xun really want to leave one day, she will not force them to stay.
Tang Yuanyuan felt that he was a very rational and sensible promise that was in line with the reality of the situation, at least it would not make anyone or ghosts feel unhappy here.
After hearing her words, Old Man Tang looked at Yi Huai and Xun back and forth, and finally just sighed and said softly:
"That's it, since it's your choice, I won't say much about grandpa, I believe in my granddaughter."
He quickly changed the subject and asked:
"Then you said earlier that some of the things you encountered may have been targeted by some very strange ghost, do you have any clue about this now?"
"Not yet." Tang Yuanyuan shook his head, "Actually, after the supernatural incident in the school with a relatively large impact ended, I didn't seem to see any trace of him anywhere else... Of course, it's also possible that I just haven't found out yet. ”
"We've only seen each other for a short time... In fact, I still don't understand why he knew me... It even seems to know me well. ”
"The first thing he said to me was that I hadn't seen him in a long time, but I really didn't see him in my memory, at least not before the school incident."
"Because considering he's always being a kid at the moment... So I wondered if it could be if I had seen him as a child. I don't know grandpa, do you have an impression of what kind of ghost kid you have? ”
Tang Yuanyuan concealed the fact that the so-called ghost boy who was "staring at himself" had a face very similar to Yi Huai, and tried to think about it from a different angle to see if he could get some information.
"Child-like ghosts..."Tang Qi thought for a while after hearing her question, and then said, "Actually, you didn't make friends with any ghost children when you were a child, but at that time, your grandmother was there, and she was watching, most of the children were still a little obsessed and bound to the spirit, and there would never be anything in those children that could affect the raising of ghosts." ”
"But when you say that, I think of something else..."Tang Qi frowned and recalled, "Do you remember what your grandmother said to you when she was a child?" She said there seems to be something guarding you by your side, do you remember? ”
Tang Yuanyuan seemed to suddenly recall something, remembering what Ran Lin had said to her when she was a child.
"I remember when I was a child, my grandmother did seem to say that there seemed to be something around me that would help me at a critical time... But she couldn't see what it was. ”
When she thought about it, she suddenly felt a little strange, she had always thought that her grandmother was joking with her about it when she was a child.
After all, in the eyes of the young Tang Yuanyuan, grandma is omnipotent, she alone can bless the peace of one party, and can get rid of almost all demons, the old mansion of the Tang family is because of her, even if she and her grandfather's physique are coveted by evil spirits, they are almost never harassed.
And such a grandmother would actually say that there is something around her that even she can't see clearly, and she thinks that the probability that that the thing doesn't exist is relatively high.
But Tang Qi continued:
"You have been special since you were a child, when you were born, your grandmother said that you have a good life, but it is extremely complicated, and there are countless threads entangled in your body, and your life is so complicated that she can't see it clearly."
"You are born with strong spiritual power and high inspiration, when you were a child, your grandmother was afraid that you would be caught sneakily because of this, and she would always guard you every step of the way, and she would always try her best to suppress and cover up your spiritual power to protect you from being discovered by those dirty things with bad intentions."
"But after all, she can't watch you all the time, and when you were a child, you also encountered some strange things, although I don't know the specific situation, but according to your grandmother, whenever your life may be in danger, it seems that there is always a shadow that will protect you."
Tang Qi said this, looked at Tang Yuanyuan, suddenly paused, and then slowly said as if he was mentioning something that he didn't want to recall:
"Remember when you were six years old, you had a high fever? That was the only time we were all helpless... Whether it is physiological treatment or Taoist exorcism, no matter what you do, you will not be able to recover your condition. ”
"Even now when I think about it, I'm still afraid, it's just a high fever, but I watched you lying on the hospital bed, your body slowly turned from hot to cold, almost dying..."
"Originally, we all thought we were going to lose you, and on the night when your breath was at its weakest, your parents and I tried our best to find the best doctor, while your grandmother kept watch over you in the hospital room all night..."
"No one knows what happened that night, I only know that even at one point you seem to lose your breath..."
Tang Qi's words were slightly choked up at this point, Tang Yuanyuan felt his mood swings, and couldn't help but hold Tang Qi's hand and comforted:
"It's okay grandpa, I'm here... Now I am living a good life in good health. ”
Although Tang Yuanyuan actually didn't have much memory of that serious illness, that illness was indeed like a disaster that he and all her family members didn't want to recall.
Tang Qi looked at her and nodded, then calmed down and continued:
"Yes, luckily you survived. You're getting better at the end of the night, though we don't know how... Your grandmother didn't say what happened that night, only mentioned the presence she said was guarding you. ”
"She said that night was the best time she could see what was standing next to you... According to her, the shadow of a child is standing by your side. ”
