Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "I went to a very far place."
I was taken aback, "The place far away is..."
"It's a place far, far away. My mother said it was a place I would never go to."
That's it, he passed away. I scratched my head, it is really difficult to communicate with children of this age.
"When did Uncle Wang come to your house?"
Xiaoying tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Not long."
"Not long?"
"Uncle Wang used to live here, and then my mother and I moved in."
"Then this room of yours..." I looked hesitantly at the well-decorated small room.
"Uncle Wang helped me." Xiaoying smiled.
"That's it... Uncle Wang is really kind to you." I said somewhat surprised.
"Um!"
After chatting with Xiaoying some more, we left this weird house. Xiaoying's mother still looked at us coldly, and we were a little furious by her stare, so she said goodbye and left.
"You really have a way of dealing with children." Not long after I walked out, Bai popped out of my shoulder.
"Well, it's okay." I scratched my head, "Because there are always many children near my house, and they will be coaxed if they see them too much."
"So, where is Gu Yu's home? I never knew." Bai suddenly asked with great interest.
"Ah...in Beining."
"Hey, Beining." Bai had an expression trying to remember the map, "Oh, that, isn't it a city in the north? It seems to be a pretty big city. It's great to be born in a big city."
"It's not that good either..."
"Your home is in such a good place as Beining, why did you want to study in Yancheng?" Bai asked strangely.
"Uh, this... I just want to get an exam as far away from home as possible."
"Why do you want to take the exam far away from home!" Bai stared at me with incredible eyes, "Isn't the most important thing for you humans is family?"
Bai's words stung my heart, and the long-lost feeling of heaviness in my chest came back. I really don't want to embarrass myself in front of Shi Yitong and Bai, but if this topic continues, I really don't know what to do.
"Ah—that, let's talk!" Shi Yitong interrupted Bai's words loudly at this moment, he scratched his head and looked up at the sky, "I'm so hungry, look at that cloud over there, does it look like a huge cloud?" hamburger?"
"Huh? Where is it?" Bai immediately cheered up and jumped onto Shi Yitong's shoulder.
"It's that flower, look."
It was too blunt to change the subject, and only a guy like Bai would be tricked. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and cast a grateful look at Shi Yitong. And he quietly gave me a thumbs up.
This is the first time, I sincerely sigh in my heart, it is really a good thing to have friends.
Xiaoying's matter, I thought it was over like this. Shi Yitong and I went back to school, but Wen Jiubai still didn't return to the old house, and no one answered his calls, probably because he was busy with some murder case over there.
Before falling asleep, I was still a little proud, thinking that I would finally be able to complete the task by myself without relying on Wen Jiubai. I fell asleep quickly that night and had no dreams.
The weather was fine the next day. Not only that, but the introduction to Marxism that was originally held in the morning was postponed to next week because the teacher asked for sick leave. I was very happy. However, this good mood didn't last long, and was broken by the news brought by Bai.
"Gu Yu, it's not good!" Bai just yelled and broke into my dormitory directly. He must be very anxious to do this, and he is not even afraid of being seen by others. I was taken aback, but thankfully my roommates were sleeping like dead pigs and no one should have heard.
"What's the matter?" I held up Bai Xiaoxiao's body, the latter probably couldn't even catch his breath because he was running so violently.
"It's Xiaoying, she... oops, I can't explain it clearly." Baishang was out of breath, and didn't make it clear for a long time, so he just waved his little paw, "Anyway, go and see her!"
Since this is the case, it's too late to call Shang Shi Yitong. I rushed to the box-shaped building as fast as I could. Before she got close to the house, she saw Xiaoying sitting on a brick by the side of the road, with her little head buried in her knees, and she looked like she was crying.
I frowned slightly, and hurried forward.
"Xiaoying?" I called her softly, "Why are you sitting here?"
Xiaoying raised her head when she heard the voice. To my surprise, her big eyes were full of fear, and she jumped up subconsciously, pulling away from me. I was stunned for a moment, and Xiaoying also realized that it was me at this time, and her body relaxed.
"Big brother?" she called timidly.
I nodded and said as softly as I could, "Are you okay? What happened?"
Hearing what I said, the little girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she kept wiping her eyes with her hands, sobbing.
"It's horrible... I don't want to go home."
I was surprised, "What's the matter? Could it be... Did you see the shadow again last night?"
Xiaoying sobbed and nodded, "There was another black shadow, and it ran into my room. I spit on it as my brother told me, but...but it didn't go away, it even got angry. When it was angry..."
At this moment, I noticed a sharp injury on Xiaoying's arm.
It was a large bruise, five fingerprints could be vaguely seen, no matter what it was, the force must have been very strong, otherwise such a terrible bruise would not have been left.
My heart moved, and I grabbed Xiaoying's arm, only to find that not only was there a bruise on her arm, but suspicious bruises could also be seen on her neck.
"Did it come out of it?" I raised my voice without realizing it myself.
Xiaoying might have been frightened by my aura, she nodded timidly, and whispered, "It hurts..."
Only then did I realize that I was holding Xiaoying's arm too hard, so I quickly let go. The expression on his face couldn't be relaxed no matter what, and he secretly clenched his hands into fists.
Too careless. Wasn't it an ordinary lonely ghost that I met this time? Didn't it say that charms and dog teeth can drive away ghosts? Why is it useless
Could it be that I took the wrong spell? Or is that guy Wen Jiubai's spell useless at all
Since I came into contact with these strange events, I felt flustered for the first time. No, this is really not something I can handle alone, if this continues, Xiaoying will definitely be implicated even more.
Thinking of this, I took out my phone from my pocket and looked for Wen Jiubai's name. I have to contact him...
