As the saying went, "The emperor isn't in a hurry to kill the eunuchs." What we said was precisely this matter. Grandfather and I hastily rushed to save them, but we absolutely did not expect that the person who was about to lose his life would still have an expression of enjoyment.

What a f * cking dog!

I was stunned as I braked on the spot. I didn't expect this man's attitude and was at a loss as to what to do.

In that split-second, I immediately noticed one of the problems. Why did this man call me "Missing"? Do I know him well?

"What are you waiting for, hurry up!" Grandfather who was at the side roared out again. Holding the Wolf's Hair in his hand, he approached Xiuqin, who was strangling her opponent with all her might, extremely carefully.

"Scram!" The man's face had turned purple. His life was in danger, but at this moment, he saw his grandfather carefully walking forward. He mustered his strength and pushed his grandfather away.

"F * ck!" When I saw this situation, I immediately became angry. What does your death have to do with me? But you can't do anything to my grandpa. I couldn't help but feel angry and charged over once again.

"Quick, hold him!" Grandfather called as he shakily followed.

"The ghost leads the way, no evil invades, duh!"

Just as I hugged that man, Grandfather also quickly said that. At the same time, he pointed at the center of Xiuqin's brows without saying anything.

"Hu!"

At the same time, a strange gust of wind spread out, causing my face to go numb, as if someone had splashed cold water on my face. My entire body felt light, and I saw the man that Xiuqin and I were hugging fall down weakly, both her eyes were white, and saliva was flowing from her mouth, as if she was having epilepsy.

I blankly stared at my grandfather who seemed to be completely drained of energy. Seeing him let out a long sigh of relief, I also sat down on the ice-cold ground and stared straight at the gradually motionless Xiuqin and the man.

"Gone, everyone left." After a long time, his grandfather sighed and slowly said.

I didn't understand this senseless sentence, so I asked him: "Who left?"

Grandfather didn't answer me. Instead, he turned his head to the other side. I followed his gaze and saw him staring at the blank image in the middle of the Spiritual Altar with a complicated expression on his face.

When I saw grandfather's expression, my heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself, 'Don't tell me that's who grandpa was talking about?'

Even though I had some suspicions in my heart, when I remembered the man's strange expression just now, I couldn't help but shiver. Thus, I asked my grandfather, "He left?"

Ever since I was young, I received a scientific education and was completely and utterly an atheist. I had always believed that when a person dies, there is nothing left. However, after this night, my belief starts to waver, becoming a little suspicious.

Grandfather didn't answer me. He stood up with his back hunched and pointed at the two people who didn't move at all on the ground. "Help them up. We'll go back as soon as the sun shines."

I lowered my head to look at the two of them and lightly nodded my head. At the same time, I turned my head to look outside the hall, only to see that the moon was still bright.

According to grandfather's instructions, I helped two people up one after the other. Xiuqin was still alright, she was petite, and also a beautiful woman, but of course I was happy, so I helped her recline on the chair. As for that man, I didn't want to waste my time on him, she was too big and too heavy, so after dragging him to a slightly dry place, I found it a little difficult to do it for him.

It wasn't easy for me to finish all of this before I asked Grandfather what happened just now, and why that man called me "Que". Grandfather shook his head and said it was hard to put into words. Anyway, this business was not supposed to be closed.

I curled my lips and buried my doubts deep within my heart. Looking at the two of them who were still breathing, I felt a little nervous. I took out my phone to check the time.

"Stop looking, everything should be fine tonight. Let's take a break before the sun shines." Grandfather leaned his head against the back of the chair and hugged the broken wooden chest. His voice sounded very tired as he squinted to say something.

Seeing my grandfather like this, I also felt a wave of sleepiness come over me. My whole body felt extremely tired, sticky and smelly. Finally, I followed my grandfather's example and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt a little cold, so I tightened my body and accidentally slipped off the back of the chair. I was suddenly woken up and looked around to see that the sky was still dark, so I looked at Grandpa and saw that he was still sleeping well. I felt a little relieved, and then I took out my phone to check the time. [What the hell is going on? I slept for more than a minute, right?

I thought that perhaps I was too tired, which was why I felt that something was wrong. Thus, I shook my head, readjusted my body and tried to sleep comfortably.

It was so quiet that the bright moonlight made me dizzy. Although I was tired, I didn't feel sleepy anymore. I wanted to get up and walk around, but this place was not an elegant mountain hut.

At this point, I had no choice but to put this thought aside, and like a pancake I tossed and turned, but could not fall asleep. In the end, I had no choice but to count the sheep, and this method was quite effective.

A "pa" sound rang out, as if this sound was intentionally preventing people from sleeping. Suddenly, from the other side of the hall, there came a burst of clear and crisp sounds, as if someone had set up a cannon fight there.

I was shocked and immediately sat up again. I was now nervous, a little wind and grass could make me go mad. I stared stupidly at the dim yellow light coming from the lamp in the hall, but I didn't have the courage to look at it.

At this moment, I even have the heart to kill, is there even a need for me to live? The more I thought about it, the more regretful I became. Why didn't I stop my grandfather when he was taking on this job?

When I thought about it, it was very natural for me to think of Xiuqin. Thus, I turned my face to look at him, and upon seeing him, I was so shocked that I almost shouted out loud.

As for the man who came with her, she had no idea where he went either.

"Pah!"

Another crisp sound rang out, it was exceptionally clear.

I couldn't help but shiver. I wanted to wake him up, but when I saw the wrinkles on his face, I thought that he must be tired, so I gritted my teeth and didn't shout out. Instead, I tiptoed towards the entrance of the hall.

"Pah!"

Just as I reached the door, I heard another sound. My heart skipped a beat. I hid behind the door and slowly stuck my head out to look outside.

There were two people in the hall, one male and one female, the man was kneeling and the woman was standing. It was none other than Xiuqin and the man.

However, due to the distance, I couldn't see them clearly, but I could vaguely see what they were doing.

The man was kneeling on the ground and kept nodding his head like he was kowtowing or talking. From time to time, there would be extremely soft chattering that was so low that one couldn't hear what he was saying. After a while, he would raise his hand and slap himself in the face.

But Xiuqin, who was standing in front of the man, slightly lowered her head. Her hands seemed to be holding something, and her elbows couldn't help but shake.

Although I was curious, I didn't intend to be nosy, so I slowly straightened up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the two people on the other side turned their heads at the same time and grinned at me.

And it was only now that I could clearly see that Xiuqin was actually hugging onto that blank portrait in her arms!
