Chapter 20: Suspicion Rises

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright. I craned my neck with difficulty and looked around – this was my home.

I have a splitting headache and my whole body is as sore as if I was falling apart! Images of eerie puppets flooded into my mind with these feelings, last night...... My life hangs by a thread, and I almost go to the underworld.

I remember seeing a woman in a red veil before I lost consciousness last night. I don't know who she is, why she saved me, and I don't know how I got home. Everything around seemed exactly the same as yesterday, even the windows were locked from the inside.

Was everything yesterday a dream? I rubbed my sore back - "Shhh "The pain of the tear in my back made me gasp unexpectedly.

This is a ridiculous conjecture! Yesterday certainly wasn't a dream! Otherwise, how could a living person be beaten in a dream and leave such a terrible sequelae!

Yesterday's ghost hitting the wall came strangely. First I couldn't understand the words of my dad and my eldest brother, then I ran to the wall of the crooked neck tree, and I saw someone drawing something in the corner, and then I saw a white light and ......

I took a deep breath and sat up slowly, leaning against the edge of the bed.

There was a woman who entered the fantasy of a ghost hitting the wall, and she saved me. Judging by what she said, it shouldn't be the first time we've met, and I can't remember seeing women before when I want to break my head.

Of course, in addition to Yu Xin and Xiuxiu, there are also Yunyun......

So, when did I get into the ghost wall? Start with eavesdropping, or start with seeing that sneaky guy drawing things, or start with seeing white light?

That white light appeared before I could see what was drawn on the ground, that is...... I'm going to see if there's something under that wall now. If anything, that is, I entered the illusion of the ghost hitting the wall after that white light.

With that in mind, I was going to get up and go under the wall.

"Knock-knock-knock"

Suddenly, there was a distinct knock at the door. I stumbled and almost fell under the bed, and before I could hold it down, the door was pushed open.

"Yo, what's the matter, I got up early today, so I won't kneel and make a big salute!"

That voice is big brother's! Sounds like there's a bit of schadenfreude.

I endured the pain in my body and spat out, "Fart!" I woke up early! I want to open the door for you! I fell, you pay me for the medicine! ”

"Yo? If I don't come home for a few months, you're going to blackmail? "The eldest brother came to tickle me as he spoke.

I was sore and itchy, baring my teeth and scolding: ", what kind of demon are you doing so early!" Get out of here! I'm going to change my clothes and get up. ”

The eldest brother smiled and helped me to the bed, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Get up quickly, everyone is waiting for you to eat." ”

"Okay, good, get out, get out!" I was angry and anxious and pushed my eldest brother out.

"Hurry up, don't go back to sleep!"

"I'll sleep with your uncle!"

……

is so troublesome, and there is really no sleepiness at all. I got dressed, pushed the door and walked towards the courtyard.

The cool air had not subsided in the morning, and I was wearing thin clothes, and I couldn't help but shiver a few times. I looked at the stove room, and saw the eldest brother leaning against the big tree in front of the stove room with his chest crossed, and the second brother standing straight like a ring ruler.

The second brother saw me first, he beckoned to me and motioned me over, I brewed emotions, and shouted in a weird way: "Two brothers, you two got up early and ate first, what are you waiting for me to do?" ”

The eldest brother laughed, bent down to pick up the stones on the ground and threw them at my feet, I dodged sideways, pointed to the second brother who was covering his mouth and laughing, and scolded with a smile: "Don't worry! Look at the second brother! Learn more from him! ”

In order not to let them see that something was wrong with me, I hooked the shoulders of my eldest brother and second brother, and walked to the table with their body support.

The three of us sat down on all four sides of the table. I looked around, but I didn't see my father, and I thought of overhearing that my father seemed to be going to a very dangerous place last night, and a bad premonition arose.

I asked apprehensively, "Where's Dad?" ”

Both of them silently picked up the food and ignored me. I thought they hadn't heard, so I cleared my throat and raised my voice to ask again, "Ahem, ahem!" I said, "Daddy!" ”

"Dad went out early in the morning, I don't know."

The first to speak was the eldest brother.

"Really?"

"yes, isn't it normal for Dad to go out?" The eldest brother put food in my bowl and laughed loudly, "What are you thinking?"

"Where did he go?" I asked.

"I guess my dad took over the affairs of other villages." The eldest brother shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "He has been very busy in the past two years, and I don't know what's wrong, I don't know when I can get together with my brother next time."

The second brother squeezed my hand under the table and added some pickles to his bowl. I looked sideways at the expressionless second brother, and I felt that something was wrong!

I stood up violently, and my feet were cramping! I endured the pain, my eyebrows jumped suddenly, I stared at the eldest brother and the second brother and asked, "But! Do you know that Daddy is going to a very dangerous place! It's a dangerous place!! ”

I don't care about the eavesdropping anymore, I just know that we need to persuade my dad now!

"I ......! Alas! Big brother, you persuade Dad! Aren't you ......" The three words 'do you know' were interrupted by the eldest brother, he stood up, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Awen, I know you care about your father, and your father is really out of the village to do business!" ”

"I'm done!" The second brother, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, and he said softly, "I'll go back to the room to practice first." Arwen, are you hurt? Take a break today! I'll change your dressing later and see if the wound on your body is better. ”

"Me! No! Go! "I aired.

"Don't make a fuss, brother, go to the second brother and let him show you!" The eldest brother smiled and brushed the broken hair on my forehead for me, "I'm going back too!" Don't think about it, Dad won't hide it from us! ”

I looked at my two brothers in disbelief, it was our father who was in danger! Our dear father!

I don't understand why the eldest brother wants to hide the fact that he knows that his father is going to a very dangerous place, and I don't understand why the second brother can always act like no one!

The eldest brother may just be worried about how much I think, but what about the second brother? He obviously went to Yufu with us, and he also saw that something was wrong! I can detect things, how can the second brother be stunned! I don't believe it, the eldest brother persuaded his father so much, and he didn't reveal the slightest rumor to the second brother!

Daddy is wrong! This strange idea took root in my heart. Originally, I just went home from the Yu family house and ate deflated at my father's house, and went to my second brother to vent indiscriminately, but now I think that my father really has a secret.
