Chapter 077: The Shadow Under the Streetlight
It turned out that the grandmother who lived in the countryside missed Wen Qiqi.
Grandma is seriously ill and has difficulty moving, and the doctor said that the old lady does not have much time, and the current situation is to live one day and earn one day, so that everyone can spend more time with her.
The old lady's only wish is that she can have a reunion dinner with her children and grandchildren during the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, Wen Qiqi also went back to pay New Year's greetings to his grandmother, but he never stayed overnight. Since she was scared by sneaking in the countryside overnight when she was a child, Wen Caiqing and her husband never let her spend the night at her grandmother's house.
It's a different situation now, maybe it's the old lady's last year.
The old lady's only wish, Wen Caiqing and his wife couldn't bear to let her have regrets, not to mention that Wen Qiqi and the old lady had a deep relationship and were willing to go back.
Originally, as long as he didn't stay overnight when he went back to the countryside during the day, it was nothing, but there was a new funeral at the neighbor's house next door, and Wen Caiqing was worried that Wen Qiqi would provoke unclean things.
Therefore, he specially explained the situation to his master Wu Leiting, hoping that he could let Wu Luoyang accompany Qiqi to go to his grandmother's house in the countryside.
If you can, stay for a few more days, and let Wen Qiqi show the filial piety of the juniors.
If this matter is put in a normal place, Master Wu Leiting can agree to Wen Caiqing.
In two days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.
Since he was a child, Wu Luoyang grew up with his master and her brothers and sisters to celebrate the festival and eat reunion dinners together, and he understands Wu Luoyang's temperament.
After all, when the child grows up, sometimes it is still necessary to consult her.
Master Wu Leiting's words fell into the ears of Mrs. Wen on the other side, and she felt that he was deliberately shirking, and she was very unhappy.
"Master Thunder, when you asked for that necklace, our family didn't hesitate to give it directly to your little apprentice. As the saying goes: raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. We will need her, and we need your little apprentice to accompany our family Qiqi on a trip, why are you so unhappy? ”
Wu Leiting had a smile on his face, but he was also a little embarrassed when Mrs. Wen said this.
Wu Luoyang walked over.
Pull out the chair and sit down habitually next to the Master.
Senior brother Wu Fengxing and senior sister Wu Baiyun also sat next to the master in order, and Mrs. Wen's words just now were not small, and they also heard them very clearly.
In other words, Mrs. Wen just wanted to say it to Wu Luoyang, and she wanted her to be ashamed of her lack of merit.
Master Wu Leiting did not reply to Mrs. Wen's words, but first asked Wu Luoyang's opinion: "Luoyang, what Mr. Wen means is that he wants you to accompany Miss Wen back to the countryside." This trip will probably stop in the National Treasure Town for a few days, and come back after the New Year, what do you think? ”
Scold!
Tonight is a banquet at Hongmen!
knew that Wen Caiqing was so enthusiastic and insisted on inviting them to dinner, and things were not so simple.
As the saying goes, take others softly, eat others with short mouths.
Although Mrs. Wen did not accept Wu Luoyang's love for helping Wen Qiqi exorcise ghosts, she only remembered the gift of the twelve constellation necklaces, but Wu Luoyang could not have the same knowledge as her, and exorcizing ghosts and demons was their act of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and if others did not remember their kindness, they would naturally not take the initiative to ask for favors.
In front of him, if Wu Luoyang refuses in person, Master Wu Leiting will not be able to get over his face, and he will lose his tongue in Wen Caiqing and his wife, and it will spread in the circle in the future and damage the reputation of the master.
If you agree to the request of Wen Caiqing and his wife......
Wu Luoyang was not happy in her heart, she finally celebrated the New Year, others had a reunion for dinner, and she also wanted to accompany her master and her brothers and sisters to have a reunion dinner.
"Mrs. Wen is right."
Wu Luoyang thought about it, but directly replied to Mrs. Wen's words: "The necklace I received from Mr. Wen is a fact, and I should accompany Miss Wen on a trip." What's more, Miss Wen went back to the countryside this time to accompany her grandmother for the New Year and have a reunion dinner, and this filial piety alone is enough for me to refuse. ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Seeing that Wu Luoyang agreed, the gloomy look on Mrs. Wen's face dissipated a lot.
However......
The next second.
Wu Luoyang smiled slightly, and spoke again: "Miss Wen went back to the countryside to accompany the old lady for the New Year and have a reunion dinner, it is Miss Wen's filial piety, and I should regard it as an example." And I, too, have a master, a brother and an eldest sister, and should also accompany them for the New Year, I believe that Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen can also understand Luoyang's feelings. ”
"In this way, I will accompany Miss Wen for two days, and the day after tomorrow will return to the Chinese New Year's Eve. Mr. Wen, what do you think? ”
In the last sentence, Wu Luoyang backhanded back the choice to Wen Caiqing, this kind of multiple-choice question is interesting if the person who gave the question does it himself.
Come out of the Glory Hotel and take Wu Baiyun's car back to Xuanyi Hall.
Senior brother Wu Fengxing drove the car, and Master Wu Lei Tinghe was talking to him without a word.
The first time Wu Luoyang left Xuanyi Hall to go to someone else's house for the night, they were always not at ease, and from time to time they told Wu Luoyang a few words, and the matters to be paid attention to in the world.
Sitting in the back seat, Wu Luoyang was obviously absent-minded, leaning on the window to look out, occasionally answering with "um" or "oh" in response to the advice of the master and brother.
Wu Baiyun on the side lowered his head, thinking about whether to help Wu Luoyang pack his luggage later, Wu Luoyang is afraid of the cold, and the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is larger than that in the urban area.
Outside the car window, the doors of the shops on both sides of the street are hung with red lanterns, and the atmosphere of the New Year's festivities is already very strong.
Wu Luoyang's eyes sank.
She wanted to accompany Master for the New Year.
Because every year is like this, and she doesn't want to be an exception this year.
Recently, I have experienced a lot of things, from ecstasy to greedy ghosts to wild boar monsters and twin ghosts, every level is full of dangers, and no one knows which time the accident will come, which makes Wu Luoyang cherish the time with his master and senior brothers and sisters, and is afraid that one day he will suddenly separate.
Wu Luoyang knew.
Collect 12 Star Souls.
There was no turning back from this road, and there was no turning back for her.
The bright moonlight covered the earth, hiding the coldness of the darkness. The street lamps on both sides of the street, standing alone in the thick snow on the side of the street, emitted some yellowish light for those passers-by.
Something flashed out of the corner of his eye.
Wu Luoyang instinctively turned his head to look, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Under the white pole behind the car, a figure in a bewitching evening dress was quietly clubbed there, staring at her with a pair of blood-red eyes......
The girl who spoke harshly at the dinner party!
Wu Luoyang frowned, and said secretly: Why is she?!
The senior sister Wu Baiyun on the side has always had good ears, turned her head to look at it, and said, "Who?" ”
Wu Luoyang didn't answer, stretched out his hand and lowered the car window, probed, and looked behind again, there was no one on the empty roadside.
Could it be that you are dazzled?
"What's wrong?"
The senior brother Wu Fengxing, who was driving in front, also looked at the front and rear mirrors of the car and asked.
"Nothing."
Wu Luoyang raised the window and replied lightly.
Perhaps, it was really her delusion.
The car drove a long way, turned right at the intersection ahead, and the red taillights quickly disappeared.
On the side of the empty road, under the white lamp pole just now, a translucent and bewitching evening dress loomed, and drops of bright red blood suddenly appeared on the white snow......
