Suspicion, disgust, and gratitude, these are the emotions I am currently feeling towards Liu Songxian.

What kind of relationship did he have with his adoptive father? What kind of relationship did the series of events that happened today have with him?

I don't know about all this, but Liu Songxian carried me back home.

When I left, I was forcefully taken away by two people, so both the door and the room door were left wide open.

After Liu Songxian brought me back, I saw that there was actually a little girl sitting on the brick bed in my own house.

This little girl looked to be twelve or thirteen years old and was very delicate, just like a doll.

What kind of person was this?

I was stunned for a moment, then was placed on the brick bed by Liu Songxian.

This little girl is definitely a beauty. Her big watery eyes stared at me for a long time before she asked:

"Elder sister, are you alright?"

"Who are you?"

Although I am somewhat wary of living people, I have no way to turn cold towards a little girl like her.

Those innocent eyes, let me a little lament, once... Are my eyes the same?

"Uncle Liu, you told me to wait here. Are you waiting for this sister?"

the little girl asked.

That's right, Lingling, you have to take care of big sister, you hear me?

Liu Songxian patted the girl called Lingling's head and said.

I am completely shocked. Does Liu Songxian know this little girl? And from their conversation, Liu Songxian told her to come over?

Seeing me staring at him, Liu Songxian laughed:

"This is a little girl from our village, her parents are gone. Her father and I even had some relatives, and when her father was still alive, he helped me.

Now that my daughter has grown up, it's time for me to learn how to support myself. I plan to leave her with you.

Teach her how to take care of you and teach her how to take care of you. What do you think? "

Liu Songxian's words made me clench my teeth.

"You want to make this little girl your Funerary Lady?"

"It's not too late to start learning Funerary Lady's skills at this age, is it?"

"You can't give birth to a person and you can't leave your soul behind. Such a good girl, it's not like you have no money. You want her to do this kind of useless work?"

If an ordinary family wasn't poor to a certain degree, they would never let their own children do useless work.

Especially those words of the Funerary Lady s, they were definitely not groundless rumors.

The Funerary Lady had seen too many dead people off and on before. He carried the Evil Qi and the resentment of Ghost Being s with him.

The Funerary Lady was a profession that shortened lifespans. Very few people were able to complete their life as a Funerary Lady, so they would not be able to complete their soul.

Seeing Liu Songxian not saying a word, I became even more furious, and even my breathing became a little hurried.

Logically speaking, after enduring so much torture, my temper should have been long gone. However, the little girl's words made me feel the same way.

I alone was enough to bear the pain of childhood... Such a cute girl should have led a happier life …

By my side, the current me is unable to protect myself, so how can I protect such a girl?

How could Liu Songxian not think of this, it's just that...

Perhaps, it's just like the gossip I heard when I was young. After all, they aren't my biological parents, so who would truly treat you well …

However, he couldn't say a word. He just said three words:

"I refuse."

But then he thought, if this girl was brought back by Liu Songxian, would she suffer the same torture as him?

Liu Songxian is the same as my foster father, he's not a good person, he's the same kind of scum.

Looking at his smile, there was an indescribable disgust in my tone. Thus, before I could finish my words of rejection, I immediately changed my words.

"I promise you."

When I said those four words, my heart was already extremely conflicted. I didn't know if this decision was right or wrong.

However, these four words represented a decision and a promise.

Since I've already made my decision, I will live on. If I can't even live well, how can I take care of others?

At that time, I still didn't know, but many years later, I still didn't regret this decision of mine. I only regretted not being able to see through Liu Songxian's intentions back then, and his true motives …

Liu Songxian laughed again.

"Then it's settled, I'll leave this girl to you. Although she's young, she knows a lot of things."

As he spoke, he stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

At this time, I asked:

"What is your purpose? What do you want to do? Why did you appear on the mountain last night?

The things that happened today made me feel that Liu Songxian has an unfathomable depth to him.

"I went up the mountain last night... It's because of what your father told me.

However … I promised your dad that I would keep it a secret "

With that, Liu Songxian turned and left. At this time, Lingling was already using a wet towel to help me wipe my face.

I had never been cared for like this before, and I felt flattered. I rushed to take the towel.

However, the movement was too large, causing the wound to be affected. I sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Sister, don't move. I'll help you."

As Lingling spoke, she continued to help me wipe the water. Her movements were very light, and although my face was still burning in pain, I felt a very comfortable sensation.

Now, lying on the kang, I felt sick again, and illness and pain came flooding in at almost the same time.

Lingling was indeed very obedient, and meticulously took care of me.

"Lingling, your home is in the Old Bull Village. How did a child this young come to this village?"

Uncle Liu told me two days ago to come here today and gave me the exact address.

You told her a few days ago? I frowned, could it be that Liu Songxian's original intention was for Lingling to learn some skills from his foster father, but who knew that his foster father would suddenly die, so the original plan could not be changed, so Lingling had no choice but to learn from me?

Or perhaps …

Or could it be that Liu Songxian had already predicted his death long before his foster father had died?

He and Liu Songxian had known each other for many years, and there were some private relationships between them. It was possible that his foster father had already had thoughts of committing suicide, so before committing suicide, he told Liu Songxian his thoughts.

However, if a person had the thought of dying, the first person he told would definitely be someone very close to him. Thus, the problem would come back to haunt him.

Was the relationship between Liu Songxian and his adoptive father really just a matter of small talk? Could there be some sort of special relationship?

By now, Liu Songxian had already left and while I was recuperating, I had also fallen into a deep state of fear.

I had no way of investigating the matter of digging the grave. It was even possible that it wasn't man-made.

If the villagers come looking for trouble, what should I do?

And there's also Da Xiong and his mother. Two lives, these two lives, how should I face them?

In any case, I couldn't get past the relationship.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Lingling had helped me go to the village and prescribe some medicine.

No one in the village knew who Lingling was, and no one knew that Lingling was with me. Otherwise, this little girl would probably be ostracized.

After thinking about it, I sighed again. I felt that Liu Songxian had an account with him, but … Aren't I the same here?

I clearly didn't have the ability, but I had to do such a thing. I was filled with worry for my future, and also for Lingling's future.

Under Lingling's care, at night, my fever should have subsided, but I still felt weak all over.

The sky outside had been dark and the thunder was no longer striking, but the sky was dark and it seemed like it was going to rain at any moment.

The living expenses at home weren't much, but luckily the food was sufficient. Lingling prepared dinner for me, and after eating it, we slept on a kang.

I was drowsy, and because I was ill, I always felt that I could not sleep soundly, that I was half asleep.

After a long time, I slowly fell asleep, but not long after, I suddenly felt that someone was shaking me.

I suddenly opened my eyes, only to see Lingling beside me saying in a low voice:

"Elder sister, there's movement outside …"
