Strange Tale

Si Ren found that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.After staring at it for a while, I often couldn't help asking for him first, "Who are you? Why are you going to Mrs. Si's place?"

The man looked at Ye Chang, "'Who'? Should I ask you this? You are not from the Si family, nor are you a ghost from the Si family. Why did you come here?"

"Hmph, are you a ghost of the Si family?"

The man didn't answer.

"The package of money and food that my mother received was sent by you, right?" This time it was Si Ren.

The man looked back at Si Ren, "It's me."

"Why do that?"

"Why did you come back?" the man asked back.

Si Ren was a little annoyed, "Who the hell are you?!"

"You have stayed outside all these years, why did you come back suddenly?"

"My home, I can come back whenever I want!"

"No, there is no reason, you can't..."

"I suggested that he go home and take a look." Qilin who had been staying in Si Ren's backpack suddenly said this and got out and jumped to the ground.

Si Ren and Ye Chang were both stunned, and the people behind the table looked at Qi Lin with a smile, "Oh? Then why didn't you tell him who I am and what happened to his family as long as he came back?"

Qilin's furry little head hangs lower and lower, almost touching the ground.

Ye Chang seemed to have understood something, but Si Ren was too surprised that his head went blank and he didn't react for a while.

With a crackling sound, the man grabbed the inkstone and slapped the table and stood up, "Sinister! Why don't you get over here quickly?!"

The Qilin turned into a human form and knelt in the center of the ground.The man walked around him and walked in front of Si Ren, "Actually, we met once, but you were still young at that time, and what you saw was only a portrait, so you must not remember."

"Portrait?" Si Ren frowned: He was right, if it was under normal circumstances, Si Ren must have forgotten where he saw the face in front of him, and he didn't even feel familiar at first have.But not long ago—in his own dream—Si Ren saw that portrait again.

"Are you...the person on the portrait...in the altar of my family?!" Si Ren expressed his thoughts in shock and hesitation.

"Oh? You actually remember?!"

"I thought...the characters in the portrait were just drawn by my parents according to the image of the ancestors of the Si family. I didn't expect...so let's say..." Si Ren glanced at Qilin and then moved back, "You are my hall fairy?!"

"That's right, Qilin is my apprentice. My name is Huang Lingbao. Back then, Qilin sneaked down the mountain to play at Si's house. He was accidentally caught by Si Quan and Si Liu, but fortunately he was rescued by you. At that time, you mistook him As the Tang Immortal at home, I thought that since no one believed that you were fine, I didn’t point it out. Unexpectedly, you would take him away from Dushuo City a few years later, and it would take eight years after you left. Don’t even think about it, if it’s true Tang Xian, how can a teenage brat take it away casually?"

Huang Lingbao is a very common name in hall immortals, mostly because the ghosts will respond to the people they follow or protect when they first gain mana, so many people casually call them "lingbao" and "psychic". Straight-forward names like Bing.As for the surname, it is usually added by the fox and yellow immortals for the convenience of communicating with people when they are in human form. Naturally, the weasel spirit also has the surname Huang.

Si Ren was completely dumbfounded: for many years his father never let him approach the altar, after the first time he ran into the altar to be punished, he couldn't bear to eavesdrop under the window, and heard the name "Huang Lingbao". Son.At that time, he still snickered, thinking that his father had heard someone say his name casually.

In this way, those are not dreams, but memories.

"Then... the ogre appeared at home..." Si Ren murmured, a bit like talking to himself.

Huang Lingbao thought that Si Ren was blaming him, and lowered his head with a guilty look, "That monster is too powerful, I really can't do anything, I can't save the Si family, I can only reluctantly save Mrs. Si at the last moment. Sigh──I tried my best Zhizhi finally helped Madam Si to make her life more comfortable, but every time she sent something there, she gave it away again."

Si Ren's face became more and more ugly, "You mean... there are really monsters who came to my house and ate people?"

"of course."

"you're lying."

"No."

"you're lying!"

"I do not……"

Without warning, Si Ren grabbed Huang Lingbao by the collar and pushed him towards the stone table behind, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

"I'm not... talking nonsense." Huang Lingbao's body was folded backwards under his pressure, lying on the table and speaking was very difficult.

Huan'er was woken up a long time ago, and often put her on the ground to try to persuade her.

Suddenly, out of the corner of Si Ren's eye, he caught a glimpse of the paper on the table that Huang Lingbao was writing on just now.He let go of Huang Lingbao, grabbed the top one and stared wide-eyed, "This is... my mother's handwriting! 'Everything is fine at home, don't worry about my son'..."

Looking at the table again, Si Ren found a few more letters that he sent home.

Si Ren understood: All the letters he received from his mother telling him that he was safe before were all written by Huang Lingbao.And all of his family letters, which were filled with longing and carefully worded, fell into Huang Lingbao's hands without any omission.

"Why?" Si Ren stretched out his hand and grabbed Huang Lingbao again, "Why?! Why did you pretend to be my mother and write to me?! Why did you lie to me that my family is fine?! Why can't I remember anything?!"

Si Ren roared and shook Huang Lingbao vigorously.Huang Lingbao was dazzled by the shaking, but he didn't move. Ren Si Ren roared enough and said slowly, "Go ask your master."

"What did you say?" Si Ren thought he had heard it wrong, turned his head and almost poked his ear into Huang Lingbao's face.

Huang Lingbao hid back, "Go and ask old man Tianfeng. He asked me to write the letter to you on behalf of Mrs. Si, and he confessed not to let you know what happened at home. As for why you don't remember , I really don't know. I think he must know all the reasons, otherwise he wouldn't ask me to write to you, what do you think?"

Si Ren only felt dizzy for a while, he quickly let go of Huang Lingbao and supported the stone table, "If you let me know that you lied to me, I will definitely blow your soul away... Where is my master now?"

Huang Lingbao looked over Si Ren and looked at Qilin, "Someone should know this better than me."

Si Ren frowned and slowly turned back.

Huang Lingbao said again: "I found out that this scoundrel was secretly following you back then. I wanted to chase him back, but old man Tianfeng said that he arranged for Qilin to follow you, so that he could come back in time for something. I know, let me leave your affairs alone for the time being. I really couldn't refuse, so I let Xiaolin follow you outside for so many years. Unexpectedly, in the end it was he himself who led you back to Dushuo City."

"Are you familiar with my master?" Si Ren asked Huang Lingbao but walked towards Qilin.

"My family is in Dushuo Mountain, and the old man Tianfeng has lived on the mountain for decades. Although I am a spirit and he is an immortal, I don't have any close friends, but I am a junior, and I respect him very much in my heart, and I can barely be called a friend. "

With a gloomy face, Si Ren walked up to Qilin and knelt down, grabbed his neck with one hand, and said in a low voice as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, "You... have been lying to me?"
