"I came back from one period of evening self-study."
Mo Yu didn't know why the second sister asked these questions, and he felt a little uneasy when he saw her suddenly darkened face.
Of course, she would not say that the teacher took her to the office and gave her a severe scolding because of her fight with Liang Guoqin, and did not let her leave until the class bell rang.
Then the more she thought about it, the more worried she became about her family, so she turned around and asked the teacher to give her leave so that she could come back.
If she hadn't been delayed by something on the way, she would have arrived home long ago.
"Second sister, I didn't eat dinner. Guang Guang and Liang Guoqin had a fight. I'm so hungry! Is there anything to eat at home?"
Mo Yu rubbed his stomach and whined.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you hadn't eaten?"
Jin Cui heard it and went to cook immediately.
"Mom, give her a bowl of noodles, three bowls."
Mo Yan told her that Jin Cui was too frugal to live a good life and was reluctant to eat. Today she had taken advantage of Qiao Nanhai, otherwise no one else in the family except her father would be able to eat bread.
She saw it just now. She was probably afraid that Qiao Nanhai wouldn't have enough to eat, or maybe she wanted to save it for him to eat tomorrow morning. Her mother had rolled out a lot of noodles and hung them to dry on the board.
"Wow, there are noodles to eat? That's great!"
Mo Yu bumped Qiao Nanhai with his shoulder:
"Second brother-in-law, I take advantage of you!"
Qiao Nanhai was as still as a mountain, not even swaying. Mo Yu was very satisfied and couldn't help but patted the other party on the shoulder:
"You have such a good body, but you must work hard and treat my second sister well! Otherwise... hmph!"
Mo Yu stretched out his fist.
Her mother gave birth to three sisters. Apart from her, her mother, her eldest sister, and her second sister all had the same temperament, and they were all submissive. If she hadn't been more powerful, she would have been bullied to death.
"Will do!"
Qiao Nanhai's decisive words made Mo Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, things are done, not just talked about. I'm watching!"
"Come here! Don't just talk about what you have and what you don't have."
Mo Yan felt warm in his heart and pulled Mo Yu aside. Because he was worried, he spoke a little hastily:
"Tell me quickly, what time did you come out of school!"
She still needed to make sure.
If it is not one's own relatives, for the sake of safety, some things will not be revealed to others easily by Mo Yan.
Whether he believed in Qiao Nanhai too much or ignored Qiao Nanhai too much, Mo Yan subconsciously didn't notice that there was someone else next to him.
"We have evening self-study at 6:30, and each class lasts for fifty minutes. As soon as I walked out of the campus, the bell rang - it must be around 7:20."
Mo Yu was sure.
Mo Yan's face darkened and he was determined.
"Second sister, what's wrong?"
Mo Yu was a little panicked.
"Look what time it is now."
Mo Yan didn't answer, but motioned Mo Yu to look at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Huh? It's almost eleven o'clock!"
Mo Yu thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Ten forty-seven, that's right!
She looked down at the watch on her wrist.
Mo Yan bought it for her and had just worn it for half a month.
"My watch is broken? Why is it only half past eight?"
"Second brother-in-law, where's yours?"
Mo Yu motioned to Qiao Nanhai to look at his watch.
"Mine is also around ten o'clock."
Qiao Nanhai's eyes were soft and he looked at the shiny new watch on his wrist, which was given to him by Mo Yan.
Crazy.
After being pushed impatiently by Mo Yu, he suddenly realized and hurriedly told the time.
Looking up, he saw the serious look on Mo Yan's face, it wasn't as simple as his appearance was broken.
He said no more.
"This is a new watch of mine, how could it be broken?"
Mo Yu looked distressed.
"The watch is not broken!"
Mo Yan looked at his sister who was still looking at her expression:
"Hurry up and tell me what happened on your way out of school tonight, who you met, and where you went."
emphasize:
"Don't lie to me!"
"What are you doing? I'm not a prisoner."
Mo Yu didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so she pouted and acted coquettishly.
"If you want to survive, tell me quickly so that I can finally determine where the more than two hours of your lost time went."
Mo Yu was frightened:
"Lost, lost for two hours?"
"Um!"
Mo Yan nodded heavily, eagerness appeared on his face, which made her look a little bad, and urged:
"Say it!"
"I-I didn't go anywhere either!"
Mo Yan's look made Mo Yu panic.
"I met a man just after I left the town. He asked me for directions. I told him several times, but he said he was not a local and couldn't figure out the north, south, east, west, and west in the dark. He asked me to help guide him."
"Then you led him? Where did he ask you to take him?"
"What village are you from in the east, east, east?"
Mo Yu frowned and thought, "Why did I forget it just a short while ago? Is my memory so bad?"
"Don't think about it, you can't remember it. There is no such thing as a village here."
Mo Yan stopped her distress:
"Then what?"
"But I knew it at the time, and I took him to some village in Nadong. When we got to the village, a group of people came out to thank me."
She remembered these very clearly.
"Sister, what's going on? Don't scare me. Why do I feel so cold behind my back?"
Mo Yu shuddered.
"It's okay. Just eat quickly. When you're full, lie down. Cover your head with a quilt and don't get up no matter what happens outside."
"I don't have time to elaborate with you now."
Mo Yan saw that Jin Cuihao had already made the noodles.
She went out and stood in the yard, letting the coldness of early winter calm her chaotic mind and anxious heart.
In that space, she could not feel the passage of time, and out of boredom, she and the original owner Mo Yan did not only tell their stories about their lives, but also learned mystical arts from the original owner.
Mo Yan felt it was more like the magic of the legendary Maoshan Taoist priests.
It is a method to deal with some phenomena of strange power and chaos.
The original owner told her that most people in the world she lived in believed in science, but outside of science, there were still many things that science could not explain.
The occult arts they practice are the most humble ones and require the help of some objects to complete.
The profound magic has long been lost in the vast river of history.
As the economy develops and the population increases, the number of monsters and monsters will be reduced due to the suppression of popularity, but they will not become extinct.
Later, the original owner's soul power collapsed, and when he pushed her away from that space, he still stuffed the secrets that were finally packed into the bottom of the box into her mind.
Therefore, she only has theoretical knowledge and no practical experience.
Mo Yan was a little unsure and uneasy.
"What, is there something wrong?"
Although Qiao Nanhai was confused, it didn't stop him from seeing the clues.
Their village is located in a remote area with a vast area and sparsely populated areas. Many mysterious stories have been spread since ancient times.
They have grown up listening to these stories since they were young.
Qiao Nanhai has never experienced it personally, but he has seen goddesses "calling souls" and "exorcising ghosts" from people.
Especially children, who are easily frightened, or children with softer horoscopes are more likely to get sick due to being exposed to unclean things.
It seems to be just a common cold and fever, but the strange thing is that even taking medicine and injections does not make it better. Instead, after the goddess summons the soul or drives out the ghost, it can be cured quickly.
These are things that science cannot explain.
In this regard, Qiao Nanhai has always taken a wait-and-see attitude, dubious.
At this moment, he saw the solemn look in Mo Yan's eyes.
