Chapter 39
Chapter 39
On the surface Tang Xiaoyu accepted it calmly, but secretly he was terrified.That's right, anyone who hears that there is an ominous omen around his mother can't escape being terrified and restless.After having lunch and sending off Shenjun, there was still one and a half days left of the holiday, and he almost stayed by Tang Ma's side, making Tang Ma a little confused.
The son is not the kind of mother's character.
Could it be that there is something to ask for?
She thought about it, and only thought that it might have something to do with her son's love affair, but her attitude towards that "boyfriend" has softened a lot these days, what else can she do, she can't encourage them to get married, right?
Tang's mother was so worried that she tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. Tang's father was woken up by her, and after listening to her nagging her inner worries, he patted her perfunctorily while being speechless.
"It's definitely because his partner is busy these days, and he's bored at home during the holidays, so he clings to you. Just relax, when he goes to work tomorrow, he will go to the dormitory, and he won't go home for half a month because of nothing important." kind."
It's a pity that Tang's father's prophecy failed miserably. The next day, Tang's mother got up a little late and got out of bed at [-] o'clock to make breakfast and lunch. When she opened the door, she found that her son, who was supposed to be on duty, was spreading his arms and legs. On the sofa, there was still a bowl of cherries on his chest.
Seeing her come out, he spat out, trying to spray the cherries into the bowl with his mouth.It was a pity that it failed, the red fruit juice mixed with saliva flew out of his mouth, crossed the edge of the bowl, and rolled down onto the fabric sofa, leaving a light red mark.
Tang Ma: "..."
Tang Ma: "I really don't have a son like you!!!"
Seeing his mother getting angry, Tang Xiaoyu hurriedly got up with an apologetic smile: "Oh, my mother, I'll wash all the dishes for lunch for you!"
Tang Ma threw him a few rolly eyes, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook, asking, "Aren't you on duty today?"
"Ah, let a colleague take over." Tang Xiaoyu thought that because he was worried about his mother, he specially greeted Feng Shisan yesterday and replaced him for a few days.
Tang's mother paused, then turned her head and continued to throw her eyes at him: "You are staying at home and have nothing to do! Why do you let others take care of you? They don't want to celebrate the New Year!"
Tang Xiaoyu was aggrieved to bear the endless stares, but he couldn't tell the truth, and he had to lie for the wealthy Feng Shisan: "The colleague wants to earn extra money, and the salary is doubled these days!"
As smart as Tang's mother, she can tell what kind of shit her son is about to poke his ass. Naturally, this kind of impromptu lie can't be fooled.However, she didn't expose it directly, and decided that her son had a brain convulsion, or that he was lazy, and wanted to be more sloppy.
Tang Xiaoyu waited on his mother carefully, always feeling that there were high-risk traps around him.After a few days of worrying, it was time to officially start work. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to report to the courtyard to avoid being put on by the dean.
Before going out, he reminded his mother to stay at home and not to go out. If she had to go out, she had to ask someone to accompany her.Tang's mother responded casually, and finally kicked out the son who was by her side, and let out a long breath.
I have to worry about how old I am!
Tang Xiaoyu rushed to the courtyard and finished his half-day shift nervously. His heart was still tense. He took advantage of his lunch break and ran to the large attic of the south courtyard. Before he opened the door and had no time to speak, Ling Guang asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I have to go to work, dear..." Comrade Tang Xiaoyu, an ordinary man living on a salary, felt helpless.
Ling Guang squinted his eyes and looked carefully, as if he wanted to find something on Tang Xiaoyu. After a while, his expression relaxed a little, but he added with a serious face: "Just in case, I'll go back with you to have a look."
"Now?" Tang Xiaoyu said two words in surprise, Ling Guang had already walked to his side, the scene changed suddenly, and moved to the familiar hidden spot near his home.
Tang Xiaoyu: "...Brother, your actions are too fast!"
Ling Guang pushed him from behind: "Go back and have a look."
It's strange to rush home at noon during working hours... Tang Xiaoyu made up excuses sadly as he walked home.A few days ago, his mother already felt that his behavior was very strange. If he did such inexplicable things frequently, he would be beaten up!
He sighed and climbed the stairs to the house, ready to be beaten and opened the door, but found that the house was empty, not even a ghost.He frowned slightly, secretly feeling bad.
Ling Guang saw his movements stagnant in place, and speculated, "Aren't you at home?"
"Both of them are not here." Tang Xiaoyu said as he entered the door, and confirmed in a few small, hidden rooms that there was indeed no one there.
With no outsiders around, Ling Guang no longer shy away from it, and Gu Zi began to display his divine power.Those reddish rays of light spread out like a flock of birds, circling along the old-fashioned house of more than [-] square meters, they were like patrolling sentries, checking each room in an orderly manner, and those who found no problems would gather around the owner. The ones will be surrounded, bright and dark.
Tang Xiaoyu watched a few rays of red light fall on the small box of Yugui on the camphor wooden box in the guest room, observed for a while, and lifted the small box into the air, like ants carrying food, trying to move it to Lingguang.
Ling Guang: "...you don't need to bring that."
So Hong Guang silently put the small box back to its original position, and flew back to gather alone.
Tang Xiaoyu showed an envious expression, and also wanted to have such an obedient "pet".
Most of the red light obediently returned to the master after completing the task. Ling Guang went around and found that there were still some missing.
"Can you go in and have a look?" He asked Tang Xiaoyu.
"Of course I can." Tang Xiaoyu walked into the room first, and went to the place where the red light gathered without thinking. Ling Guang hurriedly followed behind to save the scene, for fear that his hands would touch the dirty things and stain his body.
The place where Hong Guang squats is the small drawer on the left side of the dressing table. Tang Ma occasionally puts on makeup, but not frequently. The dressing table in the old house is in a fairly good state of maintenance.The beautiful small table made of golden nanmu should have been regarded as a piece of expensive furniture back then, but now it emits a gray-black mist faintly.
Relying on the supernatural power of the spirit bird, Tang Xiaoyu can see a ghost and a ghost, but he can't see what's going on with this misty mist.He followed Ling Guang's line of sight to watch the excitement, and when Ling Guang stepped forward and opened the small drawer, he exclaimed: "Why are there so many combs?"
Ling Guang frowned and flipped. Mama Tang seemed to have the habit of collecting combs. Wooden, ivory, plastic, resin, combs of various lengths, shorts, and thicknesses filled a drawer full.Although it is a collection, the placement is a bit messy. The various combs are difficult to order, and they are stacked staggered, like the scene of a tragic car accident.
Tang Xiaoyu tried to reach out to touch it, but was photographed back by Ling Guang halfway, and also gave him a disgusted stare.He pouted, and reluctantly stood by, until Ling Guang picked up the buried target.
It was a black crescent comb, perhaps more of a decoration than a hair comb.The comb teeth are few and sparse, and the area of the back of the comb is larger than that of the comb teeth, and it is engraved with a pattern similar to an infinity symbol.If the comb teeth are inserted into the hair, the delicate back of the comb will be exposed on the top of the head, like a crown.
Tang Xiaoyu tilted his head in confusion: "What is this?"
Ling Guang played with the comb thoughtfully: "Do you still remember that we used to collect artifacts containing spiritual thoughts for Zhiming?"
"Well, remember..." Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "And then?"
"You should be able to see the spirit, right?"
Tang Xiaoyu recalled vigorously: "Hmm... black smoke?"
"Yes." Ling Guang said: "If bad spiritual thoughts accumulate in large quantities, they will turn into grievances. Thousands of years of grievances can be transformed, and they will cast curses on people, feed on people's disasters, and die miserably by it. People will generate new grievances, which are endless and endless.”
"Wait, wait!" Tang Xiaoyu raised his hand to interrupt: "Why does it sound familiar to me? Let me think about it."
He walked around the room a few times, and finally grasped the tiny memory point like a firefly.
"Didn't you catch a cursed snake on me a long time ago? Is it the same thing?"
Ling Guang replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
Tang Xiaoyu suddenly became nervous: "Then maybe I provoked this too?"
"It's not such a coincidence." Ling Guang pointed to the small drawer full of combs: "I speculate, it's probably because Auntie accidentally bought the comb in the form of resentment."
This idea seems to be more reliable, Tang Xiaoyu also thinks it makes sense, skipping the thought of self-blame for now, and asked: "Then what should we do now?"
Ling Guang picked up the black crescent comb and put it into his bosom: "I'll take it back to Xie Zhi, he likes to eat this kind of thing the most."
Just at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, followed by a thud, as if the body collided violently with the ground.There was a woman mourning and crying, and the voice of an immature child was crying: "Mom..."
The two people in the room turned their heads to look at the door together. Tang Xiaoyu heard that the child's voice sounded a bit like Xiao Xiao, the daughter of Sister Wu's next door, and was about to go to open the door to see the situation, when the woman hurriedly said: "Xiao Xiao, hurry up and get the baby at home." Mom, get out your phone!"
It's really Miss Wu.Tang Xiaoyu guessed that Sister Wu fell and hurt herself when she went upstairs in a hurry, and was about to go out to help, but he opened the door, and before he could see Sister Wu clearly, he heard her scream, as if seeing a ghost.
Sister Wu didn't stop at all after screaming, and said a long paragraph to Tang Xiaoyu with chaotic logic like a cross talk, but articulately: "You, why are you at home? I was about to call you, hurry up, something happened Go to the gate of the community, I didn’t bring my mobile phone with me, I wanted to go home and call you, no, no, don’t say these things, go to the gate of the community, hurry up!”
Tang Xiaoyu didn't understand: "...Huh?"
Sister Wu took a deep breath, held back her energy and shouted: "Go to the gate of the community, something happened to your parents!"
Tang Xiaoyu was startled by her cry and leaned back slightly, and soon came back to his senses, and anxiously grabbed Ling Guang to make him teleport.Then he realized something was wrong, there were outsiders there, and there was no suitable hiding place at the gate of the community, so he had to give up his divine power and rush downstairs.
Ling Guang remained calm, one step behind.He originally wanted to ask Sister Wu exactly what happened so that he could plan in advance, but after Sister Wu called out, it seemed as if she had completed her mission, and she sat and stared at him in a daze, without speaking for a long time.He had no choice but to give up this information chain and hurriedly followed Tang Xiaoyu away.
