Chapter Fifty-two: The Storm is Coming

  A beauty in my arms, the house is filled with a warm spring atmosphere. But then I received a message from You Jun that was quite shocking and didn't know what he was raving about. With Kang Jiuxiang pressing down on me, I wasn't interested in finding him, and since he didn't answer my call, I simply replied to his message asking what he was talking about?

  Yu Wuzi said: Can't you read? You're already dead!

  I said, so you're texting with ghosts?

  You Mo Fan: I suppose so, I don't know either.

  I asked him where he was, and Yu Wusaid: Outside your window.

  The curtains weren't drawn, so I hastily jumped out of bed and opened the window. Yu didn't stand on a stool, but poked his head in, staring at Kang Jiuxiang, while saying to me, "Am I interrupting you? Hehe, you two continue, I'll leave first!"

  I grabbed his clothes and asked: "What did your message mean? What's wrong with me!"

  Don't push away my hand, move the stool back and forth, he said he originally wanted to find me to chat, seeing that my house is full of spring atmosphere, deliberately disgusting me!

  I felt relieved when he said that, but after taking two steps, he nodded towards Liu Weimin's window, clearly wanting to tell me that being too close to Liu Weimin made it inconvenient to say some things.

  I was driven crazy by him, and couldn't chase after him to ask, inexplicably closed the window, lay on the bed sending text messages to You Wu, Kang Jiuxiang came over again, asking me what's going on with You Wu, I casually replied a few sentences, she asked me again, what does saving my cousin mean.

  Having no other choice, I told her the story of Wen Jing's experience and at the same time asked her to recall if she had discovered any clues related to Wen Jing during the past few days at Huang Ji Bai's home.

  The information sent to Yu was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and Kang Jiuxiang had fallen asleep. Only then did he reply: "To put it simply, yesterday I saw San Shu wearing Xiao Bai's necklace, so I thought she was nearby and called her all night. Finally, she sent me a text message."

  Liu Weimin has a bad habit of speaking half-truths, and somehow it's been contagious to You Wu!

  I had no choice but to ask him what Xiaobai said.

  "You don't have to say anything more, go to sleep."

  I was so angry that I scolded him until he was covered in blood, and then I had him send me all the text messages between him and Xiaobai.

  Last night at 11 o'clock, Xiaobai sent a message to Youwu: "Don't call me, I'm disgusted with you. If you want to save your life, hurry up and leave Guancun Village. If you delay any longer, even gods can't save you!"

  "You know there's danger in Guan Cai Village, but I won't abandon my friend and not help him rescue his sister! Little White Sister, I miss you so much!"

  "Save your sister? Haha, haven't you realized that your friend who tried to save his sister ended up losing himself too? He's not human anymore! I don't want to talk to you anymore, if you want to survive, get out of here quickly, I'm hanging up!"

  After reading these three pieces of information, I hastily gave myself a slap in the face, it hurt.

  Kang Jiuxiang woke up with a start and stared at me as I rushed into the bathroom to look in the mirror. Although my face was somewhat bruised, I looked like a living person, so how could I have died long ago?

  But Xiao Bai had no reason to deceive us, and as soon as I saw the dead eyes, I couldn't help but think of the night a few days ago, when a monster that looked exactly like me emerged from the ground. Intuitively, these two things should be connected.

  Could it be that Xiaobai saw that monster and mistakenly thought I was already dead?

  It should be like this, if I were a ghost, it would really fulfill that sentence, and even death wouldn't know how to die.

  Zhuan was making a phone call in the bathroom to You Wu, and he also complained to me that Liu Weimin was just next door, it's easy to get caught.

  But I didn't care about anything else and asked him what he meant.

  You Fu sighed and said, "I don't know either. She sent this message out of the blue and then couldn't be contacted again. A few days ago when you and Xu Daochang dug up someone's ancestral grave, we found a strange creature that looked like you. I thought she had mistaken it for you, but today... I don't know what happened, my heart is racing as if something bad has occurred. You know, my intuition is usually accurate."

  This is the truth, and it has been proven in the four years of university. As long as Yu Wei feels anxious, our misdeeds will definitely be exposed. That's why I always say he's a jinx, only bringing bad news.

  After a moment of silence, I whispered to You Wu: "Why don't you go first? Don't get involved in this mess. I'll handle the quiet things myself. If something really happens to me, I won't be able to explain it to your family!"

  "Mind your own business! I'm not here to hang out with you!" He cursed casually, seemingly unconcerned about his own safety.

  Something happened, but Yu Wu and I had a tacit understanding and never mentioned it again.

  That night, the temple caught fire, and You Mo barely escaped being buried in the sea of flames, matching the notes left behind by the old Chinese doctor.

  Half right and half wrong, especially he was not burned to death by fire.

  On the bridge, a middle-aged man asked me to make a soul-guiding banner with Li Dazhuang's name on it. At that time, I didn't know who Li Dazhuang was, but later Liu Weimin found out through this name that he was a deceased bridge repair worker. Later, the village chief was possessed by a ghost, and Liu Weimin used Li Dazhuang's birth and death dates to stick on the coffin, trapping the ghost for half a day. From then on, Liu Weimin was convinced that Li Dazhuang was indeed the ghost who took Wenjing away and possessed the village chief.

  Li Dazhuang was a bridge repairman, and in the old Chinese doctor's notes, the one who killed You Wu was also a bridge repairman.

  We left the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall caught fire. You Mo was almost killed, but he didn't mention it to me out of concern that I would feel guilty. And indeed I did feel guilty, because my family's affairs had nearly gotten him killed. So I didn't discuss it with him either, but I privately asked Liu Wei Min if the person who set the fire that night was Zhao Lao Tou from the Ji family.

  Liu Weimin said that Zhao Lao was trapped by his own Henchmen Bureau, originally intended to enter the village to find the demolition man, but was led to the temple outside in a daze, thinking he had fallen into the "ghost hitting wall" and took action to break through, but he had no reason to set fire to the temple, unless Zhao Lao had a hobby of arson.

  He also didn't think it was Li Dazhuang who did it, setting fire to the ancestral hall and leaving You Wu and the village chief at the deputy village chief's door, so they wouldn't be burned to death.

  If ghosts had such kind intentions, Wen Jing wouldn't have encountered danger either.

  Liu Weimin didn't know about the old Chinese doctor's notes, so he came to this conclusion, but I knew it was Li Dazhuang who set the fire, only I don't know why he wanted to save people.

  The old Chinese doctor only wrote down three dead people, one was an unknown worker, one was You Wu, and the other was the old Chinese doctor himself, but there was also a very crazy sentence.

  "Haha, they're all dead, everyone related is dead."

  The people most closely related to this matter are naturally me and Wenjing. If we have to die, the two of us will be the first to go.

  The old Chinese doctor turned into a dream of You Wu, half right and half wrong, but his own dreams were 100% correct, so no one can guarantee that I and Wen Jing also have the luck to escape.

  And especially don't stay here, you might be implicated by me.

  I let him exhaust his words, especially since he refused to leave from start to finish. Finally, I half-jokingly asked him: "You're not in love with me, are you? Give up, even if you want to stay and die together with me, I won't agree."

  Suddenly, without a word, he smiled wryly and whispered to me: "Actually, the reason I didn't want to leave is for Xiaobai. She followed us all the way to Guancun Village, obviously wanting to do something. I have to stay behind to protect her."

  I said you could protect an egg, it's possible that Xiaobai was protecting you, if you leave, she'll follow.

  "You don't understand her, she's been hurt by me and won't show up to meet you. I can only force her out by putting myself in a dangerous situation. No matter what, I want to apologize to her in person. If she comes here to find Huang Jibai for revenge, I even more cannot let her get hurt."

  I only felt a sense of absurdity and nonsense, and it was hard to understand the question: "Are you okay? What kind of person are you? You two haven't been together for long, now you're telling me that your love is stronger than gold?"

  You still don't understand.

  I said I don't understand, you come teach me then, teach me how to hypnotize myself into loving a woman who is just a fleeting acquaintance!

  Yu didn't speak for half a day, and I was about to ask him something when he suddenly burst into tears. He didn't care if Liu Weimin could hear or not, and he shouted like a madman: "Do you think that time I approached Xiaobai was just an impromptu lie? I really had a sister in the past, when I was young and foolish, I sold her..."

  You Mou didn't hang up the phone, and from across the room, I could still hear his wailing. I told Kang Jiuxiang to rest first, then rushed over to comfort him. Thinking that You Mou was crying, Liu Weimin would definitely hear the commotion, so I wanted to deceive him with a few words, saying that You Mou missed his teacher's wife and had gone crazy in the middle of the night, so as not to arouse Liu Weimin's suspicion.

  The door can be knocked but no one responds, Liu Weimin seems not to be in the house.

  He didn't even bother about me, I knocked on You Wu's door again, but he told me to get out, wanting to be alone and calm down, saying it would be fine tomorrow, telling me not to make a fuss.

  They are all neurotic, either mysteriously missing or suddenly crying, compared to them I am much more normal.

  I'm really curious about what happened with Yu selling his sister, there are many ways to sell someone, was she sold to a human trafficker? Was she sold to a nightclub as a hostess?

  It shouldn't be possible, right? As the saying goes, "at three years old, one can see the greatness of a person; at seven years old, one can see their fate." Especially not someone like him. From the way he's been following me around, running east and west, it's clear what kind of person he is. In this day and age, it's rare to find someone who will stay by a friend's sickbed for three days and three nights.

  I tossed and turned all night, thinking about it.

  The next day, after getting up, I let Kang Jiuxiang go buy breakfast. I want to pry out You Wu's secret, but Kang Jiuxiang said that there is no place to sell breakfast in the village, and everyone eats at home.

  I said it's impossible, Liu Weimin even bought fried dough sticks and soy milk before.

  Kang Jiuxiang said, maybe it was bought somewhere else.

  I don't know what he's up to again, I was just about to go out when I saw Liu Weimin, this old man was dressed in a shady outfit, wearing a hat with the brim pulled down very low. He first asked me how I slept, and then said with a smile: "Pack up, let's go out and have some fun for a few days."

  I was stunned and asked him, "Don't save Wenjing anymore?"

  Liu Weimin laughed and said, "Play for a few days, and when you come back, I'll return to you a lively and energetic little sister-in-law, haha, look at the woman in your room, don't let her contact others, I'll take her away soon!"

  Compared to the previous night, Liu Weimin had undergone a great change, his face was much rosier, and even his speech was filled with confidence and excitement, as if a long-planned scheme was about to succeed. This also made me somewhat excited, so I hurriedly called You Wu to get up and went back to watch Kang Jiuxiang.

  Kang Jiuxiang is very gentle and does not have ulterior motives as Liu Weimin said.

  All the way without a word, after leaving the village, Liu Weimin finally took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. I couldn't help but ask him, why was he sneaking around like that, who was he hiding from?

  Liu Weimin smiled and said: "Hide the official gift in the village, every single person, haha, after a few days you will understand."

  After leaving the village, we still need to walk a distance before taking a minibus into town. Liu Weimin said that after being tired for several days, he wanted to take us out for a big meal and buy some beautiful clothes for Kang Jiuxiang.

  Kang Jiuxiang smiled and thanked him, but her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she had some worries.

  As we waited for the minibus, a convoy of cars slowly drove in. Liu Weimin pulled my clothes and whispered mysteriously: "Look at the first car, the county's number one car has become an escort vehicle, guess who is sitting in these cars?"

  I said I didn't know, and Liu Weimin told me: "The sixth archaeological team, the reinforcements from the Ji family will arrive soon, just wait, when we come back, everything will be settled, a group of little rabbits, dare to fight with me? Ha ha ha ha!

  Never had before, as if crazy, right on the side of the road, Liu Weimin burst out laughing wildly.

  I have a feeling of impending doom and chaos, as if a great building is about to collapse. I am intimidated by Liu Weimin's madness.
