Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Chapter 696 The Young Lady and the Repairman (26)

When the first mistress of the manor realized that something was wrong with the manor, she thought that throwing her husband's treasure into the bottom of the water would dissipate some of his resentment. However, mud footprints would appear in the manor every time after midnight.

The hostess looked at the footprints leading to the bridal chamber and felt frightened in her heart. She was glad that she moved out of the bridal chamber after her husband had the accident, but she also felt more panicked.

After the servants in the manor got up after midnight and were found dead with their necks broken the next day, she decided to move out of the manor.

Before she died, the hostess left a message that the descendants of the Luo family were never allowed to return to Minghu Manor, and that the manor must not fall into the hands of others. She didn't want to see anyone die again.

But in Luo Xiao's generation, due to the economic crisis, he had to sell the manor, and because of the treasure at the bottom of the lake, he had to come to the manor again.

Luo Mianmian came back to her senses, "Shi Li is still in there!"

Luo Xiao grabbed Luo Mianmian's hand and said, "Don't you understand? He is looking for his bride. You are my daughter, and your great-grandmother's blood is in your body. If you run into him, he will take you away as his bride."

The man at the bottom of the lake has been looking for his bride. He has no reason and is only acting on this obsession. Anyone who appears in front of him, if he is a man, his genitals will be damaged and his neck will be broken, and if he is a woman, her soul will be taken away.

Cheng Li ran into the person in the lake when she went out in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. Her soul was deprived and she showed signs of drowning. It wouldn't be long before she died.

Luo Xiao certainly knew the rule that one cannot go out in the middle of the night, but as he slept in the same room with Cheng Li, he had no intention of reminding Cheng Li not to go out in the middle of the night, so he was not surprised when something happened to Cheng Li.

The man in the lake will not stop until he finds his true bride.

Luo Mianmian suddenly realized something else, "Luo Xuan... is also in that house."

Luo Xiao had a moment of reluctance in his eyes, but this reluctance was quickly replaced by indifference, "He must find a bride, Luo Xuan is the best candidate."

Luo Mianmian felt inexplicably cold all over.

She suddenly realized one thing. Luo Xiao chose to take her away because there was still Luo Xuan who could be used as a sacrifice. What if Luo Xuan didn't exist?

Who will be left after the sacrifice?

In Luo Xiao's opinion, between wealth and daughter, is the former more important?

"So I think he is looking for his bride."

In the wooden house, He Mian picked up an iron bucket and started a small fire. In the light of the fire, Bai Yao expressed her guess.

She still remembered the words "my bride" she heard before she was dragged into the cold. The wandering figure and the old voice, in the thunderstorm night, were intertwined with terror and a kind of hidden sadness, which was very impressive.

He Mian was not interested in what was happening outside. He picked up Bai Yao, who was wrapped in a blanket, and held her in his arms as he sat on a chair next to the fire.

Bai Yao touched his cold face and asked curiously: "If this is really a ghost story, is he the owner of the manor who has been dead for many years and is looking for his wife?"

He Mian replied: "Maybe."

Bai Yao moved closer to him again. Under the light of the fire, the boy's cold face softened a lot. She used to think he was like the cold moon, but now she felt he was like the warm sun.

He Mian lowered his eyebrows and looked gentle. Her face was reflected in his clear eyes, as if the night sky had captured the starry sky that belonged to him alone.

Bai Yao suddenly asked softly: "He Mian, if it were you, would you keep looking for me?"

He said: "No."

Bai Yao frowned, "Why?"

He chuckled and stroked her braid, which he had tied for her not long ago. "You should keep moving forward instead of being trapped by me."

When He Mian saw Bai Yao for the first time, he was working on the roof. He was clearly the one in the sunlight, but when he lowered his head and saw the girl in the swaying shadows of the trees, his eyes were suddenly stung by the sunlight.

From the very beginning, he knew that he and she were not from the same world, but the heartbeat of youth was not something that could be suppressed by reason.

Every look in her eyes, every movement she made, even the mention of his name in every sentence, would make his soul tremble.

He Mian had come into contact with many people in his short life. He had long been tempered by life and had learned to control the boundaries between people. Even when he took the initiative to help Aunt Fang find her lost husband in the mountains, he actually had his own thoughts and calculations.

Aunt Fang has a wide network of contacts and can provide him with more opportunities to make money.

If you really count it, the time he and Bai Yao have been in contact is not that long, but sometimes the feelings between people are so strange.

It does not require the accumulation of time, nor does it require sharing the hardships of life and death. It only requires a simple greeting, a polite conversation, and an afternoon spent together in the ordinary days, and love will erupt like a volcano.

He Mian knew very well that he liked Bai Yao, and he regarded every day he spent with Bai Yao as the result of his stolen luck. Naturally, he had many despicable thoughts about how it would be great if he could keep Bai Yao by his side.

But Bai Yao wants to move forward. The place she wants to go should have the breeze of April, the splendor of spring, and the sunlight that never sets.

He Mian kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Yaoyao, Minghu Town is not a good place."

The place here is too small, there is too much rain, and the air is too humid, so it is rare to see a sunny day.

Therefore, since he was very young, he has been working hard to live his life with the goal of "escaping from Minghu Town".

When Bai Yao said "I will wait for you to find me", He Mian felt like he had caught a shooting star that was burning for him. So on the basis of "escaping from Minghu Town", he had a clearer goal, which was to go to where she was.

Bai Yao raised her head and looked at him, her gaze was inquiring, but He Mian did not give her much time to think. He smiled, lowered his head, kissed her lips, and devoured her reason.

The raindrops constantly hitting the lake surface turned the usually calm surface into a mess.

Luo Mianmian finally digested Luo Xiao's bizarre idea. She walked back and said, "I want to find Shi Li!"

Luo Xiao held Luo Mianmian's hand tightly, "Mianmian, you are my most beloved child, don't let me down."

He only cared about Luo Mianmian and didn't care about the life or death of others, even though he had another daughter in that house.

Luo Mianmian paused slightly, just because she caught a glimpse of a corpse floating on the lake out of the corner of her eye.

Caught off guard, she screamed uncontrollably.
