We speculate that Zhang Si still took the bottle even though he knew that it was ominous. It is very possible that he was the one who deceived Scrawny Monkey and his brother to steal the tomb.

Scrawny Monkey was so angry that he jumped up and down. On the dining table, he continuously scolded and paid his respects to Zhang Si's ancestors.

Although Li Tianli was angry, because of this matter, he could be considered the biggest victim. However, compared to the Scrawny Monkey, he was calmer, and only said that this debt was bound to be accounted for.

Wu Ji and I have no interest in the dark and terrible things that happened in their business. We took the money and saved the person, so it has nothing to do with us anymore.

After eating, Li Tianli said that he had some urgent matters to attend to, so he got a driver to drive Wu Ji and me back to the village.

After I return, I gave the bank card that Li Tianli gave me directly to Wu Ji. Although my family is not wealthy, they do not lack money. Furthermore, if I bring that much money home, my parents would be scared to death.

But Wu Ji insisted on giving me half of it, saying that he will only take the half that he deserves.

He was a man I didn't understand. He was always generous with his money, but he never accepted much of it. Just like last time, Huang Wancai wanted to pay us more, but he rejected him without thinking.

Not even two days later, he suddenly said that he had some matters to attend to and left with his bag without even greeting me in advance. I also left the Dongkanzi Village a few days later and returned to the city.

In the city, everything you wanted could be found, including entertainment facilities. Maybe it was as Wu Ji had once said, I was born with a bit of a coward but I could not suppress my curiosity. Deep in my bones, I had always been seeking for the unknown and excitement.

After returning home, my mom prepared all kinds of dishes I usually like to eat. The kitchen was bustling with activity. My dad said the house was a little hot only when I got home.

My mother carried the dishes to the table and grumbled a few words. She clearly gave birth to a daughter like me, but we didn't meet all day. I had to stay in the countryside for a few months during the holidays. I wouldn't be able to stay for more than a few days before returning to school …

But before my mother could finish her sentence, there was a sudden "bang" from the kitchen, startling the three of us.

With a glance, he saw that the kitchen knife had mysteriously fallen onto the mat.

My mother muttered, "Eh? "This sword was just inserted into the blade holder a moment ago, why did it fall out …"

Just as he finished speaking, his expression changed as he hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed in all directions, "No wonder, I didn't mean to say anything."

My father looked at him and shook his head. "I told you not to nag, you can't remember."

I smiled and began to eat.

My mother set the table and gave me some rice. "Qing Er, this great deity won't blame you, right?"

Ever since I was ten years old, my mother had always believed in these things, and many strange things had happened over the years. There were many things that science could not explain around me, so my parents were even more convinced.

For example, a few years ago, my mother often worked night shifts. Our old house was an old neighborhood with no streetlights and a very dark section of the road. At night, there were only a few scattered pedestrians.

Since I could remember, my mother had always known that she was afraid of the dark and never dared to walk alone in the night, and my father had always been away on business. I didn't live in school then, so every night I picked her up from work at the station.

Contrary to my mother, I had never been afraid of the dark. I had been walking alone in the dark since I was a few years old, and I had never felt anything out of place on that road for more than a decade.

As usual, I was walking toward the station when I heard my mother calling my name behind me as I passed a crossroads.

I turned my head abruptly and found that there was no one around me, not even my mother in the darkness. At that moment, just when I was feeling curious, a motorcycle suddenly whizzed towards me and brushed past me!

I didn't think too much about it at the moment. I was surprised to hear my mother call my name, and the volume of her voice was exactly the same as my mother used to call me, and I could hear her very clearly. It wasn't a hallucination, but where was she?

Also, when the motorcycle passed by me, its lights were very bright, but I didn't notice it at all. It was as if the motorcycle suddenly appeared out of thin air!

Moreover, at the same time, I suddenly discovered that there were quite a few pedestrians walking back and forth on the road. However, a minute before this happened, I didn't see a single person. All I could remember was the darkness around me.

I didn't feel scared at the time. I just thought it was strange, and I was afraid something might have happened to my mother.

He quickened his pace, and then he saw my mother near the station. She had just gotten out of the car and had not walked very far.

I was relieved to see that she was all right, but it was even stranger to hear that she had called me before, so I told my mother about it, and my mother said that maybe someone was saving me. If it wasn't for that voice calling out to me, I might have been hit by your motorcycle!

Then I told my aunt about it, and she said, as my mother said, that someone was helping me. Maybe it was because I was infected with something unclean that I was unable to see the car in front of me and the pedestrians around me. However, the person or thing that called out to me broke this barrier.

I couldn't help but think of it later, as my aunt had said, because when I thought about it carefully, I realized that I couldn't remember what had happened between the time I left the house and the time of the crossroads. It was as if my mind was completely blank, as if my mind were in a state of chaos, until the voice called me and the world around me 'came to life' in an instant.

Another time, it was more serious. Our family went on a trip and the apartment building that we stayed in suddenly caught fire. The entire floor was almost completely burned, but only the room where the three of us lived was damaged, but there was no internal fire at all.

At that time, we didn't think too much about it. We've never seen such a big fire and could only focus on being nervous and scared. There were many fire engines coming at us, and our family of three got on the elevator and left the hotel without suffering any injuries.

We learned later that all the rooms on either side of us were on fire, but only our room in the middle was all right, and even the hotel staff and the firemen were surprised.

There were so many big and small things like that. He probably wouldn't be able to finish talking about them for a whole day.

After staying at home for two days, I packed my luggage and returned to school.

Our school isn't the main point, and my grades in class are only the upper middle class. My parents don't have high requirements for me either, as long as I'm safe and healthy, I can get into a middle school or higher, and graduate with just three books.

So my days in school, although a little boring, but not sad, the days are unwittingly fast.

And from time to time, I would think of what happened during the summer vacation, think of Wu Ji, think of those weird things, think of everything that happened to us.

When Wu Ji said he would return it to me after I gave it to him, he did not accept it back after I actually gave it to him. He only said that he wanted me to keep it close to him and warned me not to leave.

In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed. After Dongkanzi Village had left, Wu Ji no longer sent any messages and instead, called him a few times to send him a message. However, there was no response at all.

I called my aunt to ask if there was any news about Wu Ji. I was a little worried that something might happen because I couldn't contact him, but my aunt told me to be at ease that with Wu Ji's ability, no one will be able to get into trouble.

I sighed helplessly. I wanted to teach him a lesson the next time I see him!

"Qing Er, what did you bring? It looks pretty good." Ding Li who was seated beside came over and asked with a face full of gossip.

I kept the jade pillar away, too lazy to explain to him.

Ding Li glanced at the class teacher who was talking non-stop, and realized that he was not paying any attention to the two of us, so he suppressed his voice and said to me, "Hey, Qing Er, have you heard? There's a girl in your girls' dormitory who has gone crazy, I heard that we saw her in the middle of the night … "Ghost!"
