"That... Uncle, are you also here to attend my parents' funeral?"
Because Xu Shenxing was in a daze, the girl asked curiously.
"Well, that's right."
Xu Shenxing nodded reflexively.
Then he realized suddenly: what the hell is uncle? ! Do I look so old now! I'm only five years older than you!
"Are you a relative from my mother's side or my father's side?"
I am your brother!
Xu Shenxing still didn't throw out this sentence in the end, but just replied casually: "Your mother's side, and in terms of blood relationship, it's kind of close..."
"But I never saw you."
The girl said with certainty that those pair of water-shearing autumn eyes fixedly looked at Xu Shenxing, even making the latter, who had already been able to withstand the starship's main gun, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Because I have some conflicts with your mother. I haven't met her since you were born. It's normal that you don't know me."
Xu Shenxing explained dryly: "It's like I don't know you very well... By the way, what's your name?"
"Yi Qiuyue."
"Isn't your father's surname Cao?"
"I take my mother's surname." Xu Shenxing was very embarrassed by the girl's expression of "I don't even know this, you must be someone who comes here to eat and drink".
I have business to do, Jasmine is the one who wants to eat and drink, okay
It's a pity that this kind of words can't be said out loud.
"Is your hand okay?" So Xu Shenxing tried to change the subject: "I heard it was broken."
"Well, the doctor said it will take two months before the cast can be removed." The girl nodded with a sad expression, obviously because this topic reminded her of the previous car accident.
Realizing that he had screwed up, Xu Shenxing hurriedly changed the subject again.
"Is this a hibiscus tree?" This time he set his target on the few hibiscus trees in the flower bed that were a bit out of place with the surrounding environment: "This kind of thing is not common around here."
"My dad planted this with his own hands when I was born. He said that he dreamed of a lush hibiscus tree before my mother was pregnant with me. As a result, my mother found out that I had me in the hospital the next day. Originally, he wanted to He directly named me Mujin, but the fortune teller said that my fate is not suitable for having too much Mu in my name, so I changed it to the current Qiuyue."
"..."
It seems that I accidentally stepped on the bomb again.
But in this way, Xu Shenxing also understood why the girl stared blankly at these hibiscus trees in a daze just now, and it turned out that there was such a reason.
Compared with the big villa now occupied by a group of strangers, these hibiscus trees are obviously more able to entrust the girl's longing for her parents.
Just when Xu Shenxing was still hesitating whether to try to find another topic, the girl suddenly said softly: "My parents were killed."
"what?"
Although the other party's voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan, Xu Shenxing still caught it in his ears with his extraordinary hearing.
This surprised our hero and his heart sank.
Even though he had little impression of his biological mother, and basically never saw her again after the age of five, she was also his biological mother anyway.
It would be fine if the car accident was just a simple accident, but if someone was behind the scenes, then he would at least find out the culprit behind it, avenge his biological mother, and pay back the biological mother who brought him to this place. The kindness of the world.
"Do you know anything?" So Xu Shenxing asked the girl in a low voice.
"Some time before Mom and Dad's accident, something strange appeared in our house. It was like a black shadow, always fleeting. Occasionally, its footsteps could be heard in the corridor at night..." The little girl seemed to be recalling something terrifying, her slender and delicate body trembling slightly: "My parents, my parents, and the nanny aunt have all told it, but they don't believe it."
"..."
Children's inspiration is generally stronger than that of adults, so children are more likely to see some supernatural creatures in many cases.
Although Xu Shenxing didn't do much research on this aspect, he had seen speculations such as "babies can see ghosts, so they often behave abnormally or cry suddenly" in various literature books on street stalls.
Compared with boys of the same age, girls with a negative overall fate are also more likely to run into ghosts.
"The day before the accident, my father and I were playing in the yard, and then I saw that there was a..."
The girl turned her head and pointed to the villa, probably wanting to show Xu Shenxing what she saw, but she stopped in the middle of her words.
Feeling strange, Xu Shenxing glanced at her, and found that the girl's face was pale, her expression was terrified, and her pupils shrank, as if she saw something horrifying.
Xu Shenxing looked in the direction pointed by her finger, but was also slightly taken aback.
In the window she pointed out, a black figure with snow-white eyes was looking down at them.
Using the window as a reference, Sombra's physique is much stronger than that of a human being. The width of his shoulders is more than 1.5 meters, and his height is also about 3 meters. But if you look closely, you will find that the opponent does not have a head—the part that Xu Shenxing originally thought was the eyes is actually closer to the opponent's chest.
"The curse...it's not over..." The girl next to Xu Shenxing collapsed on the ground as soon as her legs gave way, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, her little face was terribly pale, with no blood at all: "Its next target...is me?"
Xu Shenxing also came back to his senses at this time, and waved his hand: "Jasmine!"
Jasmine: "Meow meow?"
"..." Xu Shenxing held his forehead weakly.
Maybe she felt that Xu Shenxing's reaction was wrong, so Jasmine compared the shape of a cat's ear on her head with her hand: "Meow meow?"
I'm not telling you to be cute! Show me the atmosphere!
Xu Shenxing felt that he was even more exhausted.
Although it's really cute...
"I'm going to investigate that thing, do you want to come with me?"
Jasmine, who was deeply sealed and turned into a young girl, was temporarily unreliable, so Xu Shenxing decided to go out in person, and he asked Yi Qiuyue.
"Test, investigation?" The girl blinked her eyes, as if she didn't understand Xu Shenxing's meaning.
"Investigation: a verb, generally refers to investigating for the purpose of understanding the situation." Xu Shenxing said solemnly.
"I didn't mean that... Aren't you afraid!" the girl asked in surprise.
"I have never believed in these strange things, I only believe in my own fist." Xu Shenxing continued to answer solemnly, and secretly added in his heart: There are also my sword and Jasmine's Italian cannon.
