"Dad, obviously!"
Seeing her relatives disappear completely, Zhen Lihua collapsed on the ground, crying hard.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but sigh. If Zhen Zhigang had not obeyed his second wife and still loved Xiaohua, if there had been no accident, if Xiaohua had not killed his parents... all of this, maybe Neither will happen.
However, there are not so many what-ifs in the world. The tragedy has already occurred, and all that is left to the living is endless lament.
My eyes slowly glanced at the place where Zhen Zhigang and Mingming disappeared just now, and my pupils suddenly shrank.
Because I saw that there was a crystal key on the ground where the father and son disappeared just now.
The key was about two inches long, with complex symbols engraved on its surface. It shone brightly in the night.
Thinking of what Zhen Zhigang said when I was a child, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. I picked up the key and put it into the Qiankun bag.
Could it be that what he just said I needed was this crystal key?
No matter how much it is, go back and give it to Grandma Jinhua. She must know the use of this thing.
"Uncle Cheng, do you want to send me to the police station?"
At this time, Xiaohua, whose eyes were red from crying, slowly raised his head, looked at me and said leisurely.
Although Xiaohua is now covered in blood, her previous violence and ferocity have long disappeared, and she looks like a skinny female junior high school student.
I know that after the conversation with Zhen Zhigang's head just now, the evil thoughts in her heart have disappeared. At this moment, Zhen Lihua is just an ordinary underage girl.
She did kill her parents, but this was excusable after all, and she was still a minor. Even if she was sent to the police station, she would be given a lighter punishment, and this would only add stain to her future.
"Why, do you want to experience prison life at a young age?"
I said calmly.
Zhen Lihua said tremblingly: "You, aren't you going to report me?"
"I couldn't help but kill my parents. I even wanted to kill you just now. Will you let me go?"
I said calmly: "Your father said that he hopes you can forget the past and start a new life. Sending you to prison is definitely not what he wants."
"I believe that whether it was the person who killed my parents before or the person who wanted to kill me just now, they are not the real you. The Zhen Lihua of the past is no longer there. From now on, it is your new life."
Listening to my words, Zhen Lihua couldn't help but choked up again: "Thank you, thank you Uncle Cheng..."
I smiled: "Let's go to the hospital first to treat your injuries."
After saying that, I helped Xiaohua outside to take a taxi and went straight to the city hospital. After some diagnosis and treatment, I confirmed that Xiaohua was fine, and I felt relieved.
The next day, Xiaohua was discharged from the hospital. I contacted an orphanage and sent Xiaohua there myself.
"Dean, this child has no father or mother, and is somewhat withdrawn. I hope you will pay more attention to her and take care of her. If you don't have enough money, please contact me at any time."
I asked the director of the welfare home who came to greet me.
Before that, I had already paid all Xiaohua’s study and daily expenses for the next three years, so her future life has been guaranteed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng. This child is smart and smart at first glance. He will definitely become a talented person in the future. We welcome you to come and see the child at any time."
The dean said with a smile.
I nodded and then asked the dean to take Xiaohua into the orphanage.
"Uncle Cheng, will you still come to see me?"
Xiaohua turned back three times every step and kept looking at me.
"Well, it will definitely happen."
I waved my hand and waited until Xiaohua's figure completely disappeared, then turned around and left.
We took a taxi and headed straight back to the stop where we were waiting for the bus yesterday. Then we trudged all the way and finally returned to Fengmen Village.
When I found Grandma Jinhua's house, I saw from a distance that Lonnie, Bai Ze, and An Jingjing were guarding the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Xiao Chengzi, you are finally back."
Seeing me appearing, Lonnie ran over first: "If you don't come back, we are going to go to the Four Seasons Community to rescue you."
Bai Ze and Jingjingjing also walked over, with concerns on their faces.
I know what everyone is worried about. After all, before setting off this time, I had promised Grandma Jinhua not to use Ma family magic. This way I have added an invisible restraint to myself. If I encounter some powerful ghosts, I will really You may not be able to get away easily.
"Don't worry, I have successfully completed the task. Where is my mother-in-law?"
I asked everyone with a smile.
"I'm in the house. I haven't come out all day. I don't know what I'm doing."
An Jingjing pursed her lips toward the inside.
I nodded, and then walked into the main hall with everyone.
I gently opened the door and saw Grandma Jinhua kneeling on the ground, clasping her hands together, twisting a string of rosary beads, and reciting some incantation.
Her grandson, Xiaohu, was still squatting in a corner, playing with a cricket he had just caught.
"Mission accomplished?"
Before I could speak, Grandma Jinhua spoke first, as if she already knew I was back.
"Well, I'm back."
I was thinking and organizing my words: "Mother-in-law, Zhen Zhigang has died long ago and his soul has completely dissipated. I can't bring him back."
"I know everything. You completed this mission well."
Granny Jinhua stood up with a calm expression, but what she said surprised me.
"Do you really think that I asked you to go to the Four Seasons Community just to find a missing household head?"
Seeing my surprised look, Grandma Jinhua couldn't help but smile and said.
"This mission is indeed to test your character, but the most important thing is to let you get the crystal key to open the crypt."
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the crystal key: "You mean this key?"
"good,"
Granny Jinhua nodded: "This crystal key is the key to entering the dragon's veins."
When I finally came to my senses, I felt a little confused. If Grandma Jinhua’s mission was mainly for me to get the crystal key, then why did she insist on banning me from using Ma’s magic?
Also, why does this crystal key appear in Zhen Zhigang's body? What is the relationship between him and Fengmen Village and Dragon Vein?
"I know you have many doubts in your mind. Come sit down and listen to me. Then you will understand the ins and outs of everything."
Granny Jinhua pointed to a futon next to her and said with a smile.
"Have you ever heard the rumors about Fengmen Village?"
After taking me to sit down, Granny Jinhua asked me.
"I just know a little bit."
I answered truthfully.
Fengmen Village is a well-known ghost village. It is said that there are countless ghosts in the village. Once a living person enters, no one comes out alive.
