I shook my head in confusion. I didn't experience any of the inductions that Zhuxuan mentioned yesterday.
"I can't help it." Zhu Xuan sighed, "Then after dinner tonight, the two of us will take turns guarding the old lady and we must ensure her safety."
I nodded, thinking the same thing in my heart.
"good."
So after having dinner with Mr. Yang, we offered to take care of the old lady and let Mr. Yang go back to his room early to rest.
In this way, Zhuxuan and I took turns staying in the old lady's room to look after her. After drinking the medicine, the old lady became obviously much more stable. I even felt that as long as we kept watch like this, she would wake up safe and sound the next morning.
However, good wishes are just wishes after all. Even if Zhu Xuan and I stared at the old woman so intently, something happened to her at midnight.
Without any warning, the old woman's face suddenly became ugly, and then her expression became ferocious, and she began to yell.
"Zhuxuan!" I jumped up from the chair, and Zhuxuan woke up immediately, and ran to the old woman's bed.
"I'm poisoned, hurry up, Gu Yu, go and get my baggage!" Zhu Xuan shouted loudly.
"Okay!" I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ran out of the room to get Zhuxuan's bag. I heard Zhuxuan whispering to the old woman, "It doesn't matter, hold on, you must hold on!"
I brought Zhuxuan's baggage over as fast as I could. However, when I rushed into the room, Zhu Xuan had already stood upright with his head bowed, while the old woman was lying on the bed, her body was stiff, and even the ferocious expression was frozen on her face.
Zhu Xuan shook his head and said softly: "No way. He's already passed away."
"How could this be..." I murmured, putting down my burden and walking towards the bed.
But in the blink of an eye, such a big living person died right under our noses. A feeling of indignation welled up from the bottom of my heart, but before I could get it out, I noticed that Zhu Xuan's hand beside him was tightly clenched into a fist.
"If I catch the culprit, I swear, I will definitely tear him to pieces." Zhu Xuan said coldly.
Mr. Yang ran over from the house quickly when he heard the commotion, and then there was another repeat of yesterday. I couldn't bear to see the scene of husband and wife parting again, so I walked out of the house and took a deep breath of the cold night air.
What the hell is going on here
I sat in the yard, staring blankly at the sky full of stars, my mind was blank, leaving only a hollow sadness in my heart.
Human life is so fragile, even though Zhu Xuan and I tried our best to protect her, she still died in front of us.
Just like insects, they can be killed by anything casually. And because of this, my hatred for the murderer was even more aroused.
Regardless of whether the murderer is a human being or a monster, if an innocent life is easily taken away, as Zhu Xuan said, the corpse should be shredded into tens of thousands of pieces.
However, no matter how much I hate it in my heart, I can only grit my teeth in my heart now. Because there is no way to find out who the murderer is.
Just when I fell into this inexplicable and chaotic thinking, a crisp sound at my feet startled me. Looking down, it seems that my toe kicked something.
I bent down and picked it up from under the table, and it turned out to be a ceramic bowl.
bowl? Why is it in this kind of place? And this bowl looks familiar no matter how you look at it.
At the same time, I smell an unpleasant stench coming from the ceramic bowl.
This stench, could it be...
By the way, if that's the case, it all makes sense!
I immediately stood up from the stool. You have to tell Zhuxuan about this.
However, just as I was thinking this way, a sense of drowsiness suddenly hit me. I staggered and couldn't stand still, so I sat back on the stool.
Not good... so sleepy. Totally irresistible sleepiness.
I just fell asleep.
As expected, the next day, I was woken up again by the cold wind outside. As soon as I opened my eyes, I sneezed three times in a row.
This is good, if this continues, I will not be tortured mad by this reincarnation first, but will be frozen to death by the cold wind outside.
By the way, what about Zhuxuan
Looking to the side, as expected, Zhuxuan was lying beside me, apparently woken up by my sneeze, looking at me unhappily.
I said resentfully, "You don't catch a cold, so be content."
Zhu Xuan stood up from the ground, patted his clothes, and frowned, "Are you back here again?"
I pulled out my phone and glanced at the date. That's right, December 23rd.
"However, even though we're back to the beginning of the day, it's not all fruitless." Zhu Xuan smiled with a confident expression on his face, "At least after yesterday's episode, I already have someone to suspect."
Hearing what Zhu Xuan said, I also suddenly remembered what happened last night.
"Me too!" I said immediately.
"Oh?" Zhu Xuan asked with interest, "Who is it?"
I looked at Zhuxuan, and only said two words, "...soup bowl."
As soon as Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up, I immediately understood that he and the person I suspected were the same person.
At this moment, the door of Mr. Yang's house opened. Like yesterday, Mr. Yang poked his head out from inside.
"Oh, aren't you the little brother who came here a few days ago? Come in and sit, come in and sit. This is your friend, right? Come in too!"
This time, I didn't wait for Zhuxuan to say anything, so I walked over there first.
"I am his friend, but at the same time I am also the Taoist master he invited to exorcise demons. I predicted that there would be a catastrophe in your home, so I rushed here to help. Is your wife suffering from a strange illness? At this time, you are bedridden and can't get a drop of water?"
Mr. Yang opened his mouth wide and nodded dully. So I held out a hand to him.
"Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, let me draw a spell and paste it on the four sides of the room, so that disasters can be warded off."
Zhu Xuan secretly smiled, and Mr. Yang brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone shortly afterwards. I drew two random strokes with more scribbled strokes than the previous two, and handed them over to Mr. Yang.
The old man looked at the ghostly talisman for a long time, and when he was about to speak, I interrupted him.
"Don't look, it's an apple." I said firmly.
The old man looked at me and was speechless.
"What are you doing standing there?" I urged, "Go and paste the talisman on."
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Yang picked up the paper and ran to the back room to paste the talisman.
Zhu Xuan seemed to be holding back for a long time, and finally laughed, "Hahaha... that's amazing, Gu Yu, I said it earlier, you just have the talent to be a magic stick."
