Looking at the empty room, she felt a little sad inexplicably. She went to study by herself. Grandma must be lonely by herself. Grandma said that her father is a very good person. She is so proud every time she talks about her father. The unbearable sadness always makes Luo Jiang unable to bear to ask again, and her mother, Grandma Luo rarely mentions it, she can't even get any information about her mother from her, even if it is the food she likes, the color she likes , Luo Jiang sighed, her parents walked too cleanly, there is no trace of their life in this family, not even a photo or a piece of clothing.Maybe what Wei Linqiang said is right... She also wanted to be cared and loved by her parents, but Luo Jiang had hidden such emotions in the most secret place of her heart in the process of growing up.

Luo Jiang shook her head vigorously, forcing herself not to think about it.

Although Grandma Luo was strict with Luo Jiang, she never wronged Luo Jiang materially. Luo Jiang’s house had everything in it. Luo Jiang took a shower after eating, and she still had 2 yuan in her card. She was thinking about how to tell her grandma that she was responsible for her own living expenses tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Luo Jiang had another nightmare.

Grandma Luo heard the movement and woke Luo Jiang up.

Luo Jiang was sweating, and when she woke up, she found her grandma sitting in front of her bed.

"Have you had another nightmare?"

Luo Jiang nodded in shock.

"Are you wearing anything?"

Luo Jiang nodded again, and took out the cinnabar mole from her clothes to show to grandma. Grandma Luo touched Luo Jiang's head after seeing it, "Don't worry, as long as this thing is still there, you will be fine."

"Grandma, the basement?"

"I locked it."

After listening, Luo Jiang fell asleep again in a daze.

Maybe it was because of the exhaustion of the journey, or maybe it was because Luo Jiang was awakened in the middle of the night, and the next day Luo Jiang stayed in bed for an unprecedented time.

ding ding...

Luo Jiang fumbled to answer the phone.

"Honghong, are you awake? Come to the entrance of the village quickly, something serious has happened here."

After hearing this, Luo Jiang subconsciously refused, "No, I won't go."

Before Luo Jiang could finish her sentence, Xue Yi was interrupted by others and hung up the phone in a hurry.

After Xue Yi made such a fuss, Luo Jiang couldn't fall asleep, so she had to get up in bed.

After leaving the room and going downstairs, Luo Jiang realized that there was a guest at home. This was the first time someone had visited the house in so many years, and Luo Jiang was stunned for a moment.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, who was wearing a well-crafted suit, and there was a briefcase beside him. Luo Jiang noticed that there were some nutritional supplements in the corner of the living room, and Luo Jiang's grandma was sitting opposite the person, talking with the person When he spoke, there was still a slight smile on his face.

It was just such a smile that basically made Luo Jiang sure that the other party should be someone her grandma knew.Grandma knows how to do Taoism, and occasionally helped others solve troubles, but Grandma Luo will not invite people to come to the house, and those who ask Grandma Luo for help mostly dislike Grandma Luo as a witch, and are unwilling to enter Luo Jiang's house .That's why Luo Jiang was surprised that grandma was talking to outsiders so kindly for the first time. Seeing Luo Jiang get up from bed, Grandma Luo waved at Luo Jiang.

"This is your uncle."

Luo Jiang looked at the man smiling at her, and bowed politely, "Hello, Uncle."

The man touched Luo Jiang's head, and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, this child has grown up so much. The last time we met, he was still a baby."

Luo Jiang was even more surprised. Could it be that this person is a friend of her parents? Just as she was about to ask, the phone in her pocket started ringing loudly again.

Chapter 43

On the way to the entrance of the village, Luo Jiang felt the unusual atmosphere in the village. Although Luo Jiang did not come to the village often, she could often hear the hustle and bustle at home. Who gave birth to a baby, who killed a pig, whose family Married daughter, the sound of firecrackers and noisy population gave the village a different kind of atmosphere, but at the moment, it is quiet here, most of the houses are closed, even if there are people working outside. Gossiping like that in the past, Luo Jiang also noticed that there were black gauze hanging on the doors of several families. Luo Jiang had seen this kind of black gauze before. Death in vain, the host is in a bad mood and doesn't want to care about ordinary things, so he hangs a black gauze, hoping that others will not disturb casually.

But the strange thing is that the family where the black gauze was hung had no trace of any funeral, no elegiac couplets, no wreaths, not even burnt incense ash. Thinking of what Xue Yi said, Luo Jiang had a bad feeling in her heart.

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village, and the crowd surrounded the old pagoda tree at the entrance of the village. From time to time, there was commotion and controversy, mixed with heart-piercing cries, and they were noisy and chaotic for a while.

"Honghong, here." Xue Yi waved to Luo Jiang after seeing her.

Luo Jiang walked to Xue Yi's side.

"Let me tell you, I was woken up early this morning, and there are dead people in the village."

Luo Jiang looked at the huge encirclement, and didn't intend to squeeze in to join in the fun, "It must be the child who died."

Xue Yi had an expression of 'how do you know'.

"When I came here, I saw some people in the village hanging black veils, but they didn't hold funerals. Here, we don't hold funerals unless a child dies. Several households hung veils, and the atmosphere in the village was weird. , It should have been like this for a long time, so I think it should be a child who died."
