"What do we do now?"
Liu Meng looked at them, then looked at me and asked.
I took a deep breath, adjusted my state of mind, swallowed my saliva, and calmly thought for a while.
"Don't worry, let me think."
Next, I'll keep an eye on what's going on over there and figure out a way.
Looking for reinforcements at this time? It didn't seem appropriate. After all, even if reinforcements came, this was their family's business, so what should they do?
"You want to leave?"
A slightly hoarse voice came from behind me. It sounded as though I had heard it before. I quickly turned around and realised that it was the ghost that I had just seen!
"What does it have to do with you!"
After I finished speaking, I immediately pulled Liu Meng behind me, afraid that he would hurt Liu Meng. No matter what, Liu Meng is still timid, so I didn't want to scare her.
"She's my wife, how can I ignore her?"
Wife! My eyes widened in disbelief as I looked at the man. It felt like he was lying.
"You're lying, she never gives out boyfriends, even if she has a boyfriend, it's impossible for her not to let me know."
From the looks of it, he seemed to be a swindler.
How could I believe a liar?
"Ask her if you don't believe me."
I panicked a little and quickly turned to look at Liu Meng, hoping that she would give me an answer.
"Is it really as he said?"
I can't believe she wouldn't tell me about our good friend of many years.
"Ling, don't listen to his nonsense. How could that be? Liu Meng explained, his pitiful eyes filled with grievance.
I bit my lip and was about to say I believe you when the man spoke again.
"Don't you remember? When I was young, you promised me that you would marry me when I grew up, so you're my wife.
Hearing the man's words, I remembered what Liu Meng told me in that broken house. Could it be that he really is that ghost?
Otherwise, according to what the two of them had said, the people who went in were all dead, but Liu Meng did not.
"You, you, which boy are you?"
Liu Meng's pupils dilated. She completely did not think that the man standing in front of her was the boy that she met when she was young.
"Yes." The man nodded, then said to me, "Now you believe it."
As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but give a slight smile, as if he was very pleased with himself.
"So what? You are a ghost, and she is a human. She is destined to be unable to be together. I advise you to not harm my friend."
"Yo yo yo …" We can't be together. So, you're allowed to be with him? You are already a person under a contract, how can you have the face to talk about us? "
His words made my face change color, because I could hear that he knew that I had already made a contract with a ghost.
At this time, Liu Meng took a step forward and asked: "Someone under the contract? What do you mean, what happened to Ling? "
The man unhurriedly said, "You don't need to know this. You only need to know that I'm your husband and you're my wife. I'll protect you."
Only then did Liu Meng begin to carefully size up the man in front of him.
"My name is Situ Ye."
Looking at Liu Meng's stupefied expression, I thought she was scared silly and hurriedly hugged her from the side.
"I don't care who you are as long as you hurt her!"
Situ Ye suddenly smiled. His smile was very charming, but it wasn't enough to confuse me.
"I didn't want to hurt her. She's my woman. How can I bear to do that?"
"Better to say that."
"If you want to leave, you can't do so without my help."
I looked at Liu Gang and the others over there and thought for a while. Even if I can't go out, I can't trust the words of this man in front of me.
After all, he was a ghost. Who knew if he was good or bad? Who would tell you that he was bad? Instead, I'll tell you he's good.
"Then we don't need you. You can leave now. Don't hinder us."
I looked at him in annoyance, not only because he was a ghost, but also because he knew that Murong Yifeng and I had made a contract. Although he didn't say it out loud, just saying the contract was enough for me to understand what was going on.
It was not necessarily a good thing to have a ghost like this by his side.
Situ Ye didn't stay any longer and disappeared as soon as he heard my words.
Liu Meng had also only just regained her senses, as she looked in the direction that Situ Ye had disappeared in, and once again sunk into deep thought.
"Liu Meng, are you alright?"
I was very worried about her, so I asked with concern.
It's just that I have indeed seen him before. It's just that when I was young, he said that he would marry me at some rundown house, and I thought that it was just a joke, so I didn't think too much about it. "
"Alright, don't think too much about it now. He probably didn't want to hurt you either. Otherwise, we would have already become two corpses. We can think about the rest after we leave."
"Yes."
After waiting for a long time, and it was almost dark, Liu Yue and the others still had not left, and the rest of them went home to cook and pick up the children, and basically went back to their own homes, while we hid at the entrance closest to the alley, and heard from Liu Meng that this family would not be home for all of the years, so we hid here.
When night came, Liu Gang and the others were still waiting there, but one person was missing. It seemed like they went to do something else.
If we wait like this, won't we be able to stay the night here?
"We're not really going to spend the night here, are we? "So scared." Looking at the surrounding night, Liu Meng's voice trembled. She couldn't help but hug me tightly, her heart beating quickly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. If not, that ghost will still protect you."
"You mean Situ Ye?"
Liu Meng looked up at me and asked.
I nodded. "Yes."
"Isn't he a ghost? How can you really protect me? Don't ghosts always harm people? "
I blinked, not knowing how to put it, before Liu Meng understood.
"Ghosts are as good and evil as humans."
"Oh."
Liu Meng suddenly understood and nodded her head.
Originally, we hadn't eaten since arriving at noon. Now, it's already six or seven in the evening, and our stomachs are growling with hunger.
"Ling, why don't you hand me over so that you can leave? It's best if you don't suffer together with me here, it's better for me to suffer together with you than with two other people."
Liu Meng let go of her hands and prepared to leave. I was very worried, so I didn't dare let her out and quickly stopped her, "Since it's already like this, I definitely won't let you go."
"But …" Before he could finish his words, he heard footsteps approaching from not too far away.
