Chapter 113 The Witch Part II

When Qingchu returned upstairs from downstairs, she found that the light in the study was on.

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" The mayor's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Qingchu." Her voice was a bit sleepy and confused.

"Oh." There was a response, and then some rustling sounds came out.It is also in the dead of night that it can be heard.

The door was opened.

"Xiao Qingchu, why didn't you sleep?" Although the mayor had a loving and concerned smile on his face, Qingchu felt a tremor in his heart, as if the mayor was suspicious of something.

Thinking of this, Qingchu hurriedly yawned, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

"Uncle, I just finished going to the toilet, and when I came back, I saw the light on in your study, so I came over to take a look. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first."

As she spoke, she yawned again.

"Well, go back to sleep, the most important thing is to nourish your energy."

"Then I'm going to bed, uncle, you go to bed early too."

"Uncle will go to sleep after finishing this work. Don't worry about Uncle at the beginning of Xiaoqing."

In the next few days, although Qingchu wanted to find an opportunity to visit the mayor's study, but because the mayor seemed to have noticed that someone had sneaked into his study before, he had to give up this decision.

As for Mingze, Qingchu didn't know what he knew, but found that he was slowly changing.But if she was asked to tell exactly what changed, she didn't know how to describe it.Moreover, Mingze seemed to be preparing for something.

However, before Qingchu discovered anything, there was another piece of news, which caught Qingchu off guard and made sense.

The young man who was seriously ill at the beginning is now dying, and it seems that he may pass away at any time!

His relatives have also followed the witch's will to come to the wooden house to accompany the young man through the last journey of his life.

However, what makes Qingchu feel that something is wrong is that the young man's family members seem to have already appeared the symptoms of the young man back then!
At the beginning, Qingchu just felt that the various symptoms of young people were a little familiar, but now she realized that it would definitely be an infectious disease!However, now, this young man is constantly in contact with people in the town...

Of course he himself lay motionless on the bed, but there were quite a few people who couldn't bear to see him.

Calculated in this way, wouldn't it mean that the whole town will suffer from this disease if one is not careful?

Qingchu's worries really became reality.

The young man finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed away.The witch lit a fire at night, and on top of the fire was the young man's body.

In the burning of the fire, the corpses gradually turned into ashes, and only those who were still alive danced strangely around the fire.

It is said that in this way, the dead can be reborn in heaven.

After dancing for a while, many people had stopped to rest, but the witch was still holding a scepter and whispering.

Qingchu had also stopped, standing not far away quietly watching the excitement tinged with sadness.

Mingze also came to her side at some point.

"Qingchu." Mingze said suddenly.

"Huh?" Qingchu turned her head to look at him, but she was not surprised when she saw the seriousness and solemnity in the young man's eyes like ink that had never been seen before.

"There is a problem." The boy's voice was also extraordinarily serious.

"What's the problem?" Qingchu tilted her head, pretending to be puzzled.

Mingze was about to say something, but changed his words when he saw the mayor walking over: "Father."

"Uncle." Qingchu also shouted.

"I didn't see you two just now, I thought you were gone, it turned out to be here."

"Hmm... is dad okay?"

"It's something." The mayor nodded solemnly, "Two people passed out just now."

"what?"

"And these two people are the parents of the deceased." The mayor's expression became more serious, "Now these two people have been sent to the log cabin, and we will only visit them after the prayer of the Witch is over."

"This... how could it be like this?" Qingchu frowned.

"I tell you this because I want you to be careful." The mayor sighed, and his whole person seemed a little older.

Qingchu looked at the back of the mayor leaving, and then looked at Mingze.

It happened that Mingze was also looking at her.

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Mingze smiled, but the smile didn't penetrate his eyes.

"You know."

Mingze was silent for a while, and then smiled softly.

"I know, but...how did you know?"

He suddenly got very close. Although the light and shadow were dim, Qing Chu could still see his brows and eyes clearly, and even his long eyelashes.

And his ink-like eyes also seemed to hide more treachery.

For some reason, there seemed to be a little more confusion in Qingchu's heart.She calmed down, with a stubborn look: "Since you can know, why can't I know?"

Mingze chuckled again, and his knuckle-boned fingers lightly slid across Qingchu's face.

"You... what are you doing!"

He took Qingchu's forced pretended calm into his eyes, but he didn't make it clear, he just whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Chuchu, I will tell you everything you need to know in the future."

After speaking, he turned and left, submerging into the dancing crowd.

It's just his words that cast waves in Qingchu's heart.

This was the first time he called her Chu Chu after she traveled here, and it was also the first time someone called her that way.Originally, a title didn't matter, but in this environment, the two words have a different taste.

At this time, Qingchu was completely sure that either the soul in Mingze's body had been changed, or... his soul was originally sealed with something, and it only appeared now.

Then... which possibility is it?Is it good or bad?Qingchu didn't know.She was already at a loss.

"Ah! She fainted!" Suddenly, an exclamation came from the crowd.

"What's going on?" The witch also stopped, and walked towards the place where the crowd kept gathering.

All of them wisely made way for the Witch.

Qingchu also walked over to take a look.She happened to be walking behind the witch, so she saw all the scenes.

Someone did faint, but not on the ground, because someone helped her.That person was also one of the people who had the most contact with the deceased these days.

"Master Witch..." The man who supported the fainted woman was about to speak, but was stopped by the witch's wave of his hand.

"No need to say too much, everything is God's will!"

Tears rolled down the witch's face.

The people around also showed sorrowful expressions.
