"You...you also know?"

I was stunned and stared at Gu Anan in surprise. If she knew, why did she tell me now?

"Well, of course I know that among the ghost hunter families, your Zhong family is most famous for this jade pendant. Although I don't know what effect it has, many ghost hunters, including those powerful evil spirits, want to get it.

The same is true for our Gu family. I'm very happy that you can send me home, but as I said before, I just asked you to send me home, and then you left immediately, but it's a pity that my mother still discovered you."

Gu Anan's voice became softer and thinner, and she sounded more apologetic.

"You mean, your mother also wants this jade pendant? Or, she simply knew that I would come this time?"

My face darkened. Although I insisted on sending Gu Anan home, her house was so big and the iron gate was far away from the house. At that time, Gu Anan kept asking me to go back. How could Aunt Gu just show up?

"I'm sorry, Zhong Yuan, don't worry, I will keep you safe."

Gu Anan looked at me apologetically again, I shook my head and said:

"It doesn't matter, I insist on sending you back, but I will leave after dinner later. Although it is not safe to walk alone at night, I still have a certain ability to protect myself."

"It's useless. You don't know. My mother is right. There are many evil spirits in this mountain. So before sunset, my mother will set up formations. I can't guarantee that I will go out. You just have to

You can't leave until tomorrow morning, and as soon as you leave, my mother will definitely try her best to attack you. You don't know her methods. If you leave like this, she will have a better reason to deal with you, and she doesn't need to come forward.

In this way, you have truly fallen into a trap. Just don't come out easily at night. No matter what happens, I will protect you until dawn."

Gu Anan sighed, stared at me, and said slowly.

"Array? Evil ghost? I'm a little curious about your Gu family."

I told the truth.

"Stop being curious. There is a price to pay for curiosity. Okay, dinner is about to begin."

Gu Anan smiled and then stood up.

When we arrived at the restaurant, I discovered that in addition to Aunt Gu, there was also an old housekeeper who was about sixty years old. This old housekeeper had a long braid on the back of his head, and his hair had some silver edges. He wore a white placket vest on his upper body.

The lower body is wearing black cloth trousers, there are many wrinkles on the face, and he has a serious expression.

The dishes are very delicate and fragrant. Originally, I was worried that there would be something wrong with it, but Gu Anan ate it without fail, so I couldn't care less.

"Zhong Yuan, who are you at home? Although our Gu family is also a family of ghost hunters, we have never visited your home."

Aunt Gu pursed her lips slightly and said softly.

"Auntie, you're welcome. I still have a brother-in-law, a cousin, and my father at home."

I smiled slightly and replied.

"Oh, yes, they are all young male ghost hunters. Unlike our family, there are only two poor mother and daughter left now. After dinner, I will ask Mrs. Amu to go to the spare room to tidy up. You will also come tomorrow

So I can go to school with An An."

Aunt Gu stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables for me and whispered.

"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."

I nodded. In the following conversation, Aunt Gu never brought up the matter of the jade pendant passed down by our Zhong family. I couldn't help but feel strange. If it was true what An An said, she would definitely mention it.

Otherwise, how do I know the jade pendant will be on my body?

Amu's wife is the housekeeper with long braids. It is more appropriate to call her a housekeeper than a servant. Her face was cold and expressionless. She moved very lightly when she led me upstairs, and the whip behind her was swinging slightly.

.

The staircase from the first floor to the second floor is spiraling, with a huge pillar in the middle, and wall lamps shining at intervals, and most of these wall lamps are kerosene lamps.

Although this house is very luxurious, in the mountains, electricity is not very popular in rural areas, let alone in the mountains, so the most primitive lamps are still used.

Just halfway through, I heard a quarrel coming from downstairs, and it became more and more intense. It seemed very noisy, and was mixed with Gu Anan's voice. When I was about to hear it clearly, a cold voice

into my ears.

"Master Zhong, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Mrs. Amu's voice came from in front of me, without a trace of emotion, which made me feel numb.

I quickly followed and reached the second floor. There were indeed quite a few empty rooms on the second floor. Mrs. Amu took me to the door of the middle room. She stretched out her hand and pushed it. The wooden door creaked and was gently pressed.

Pushed away.

She walked in first and lit the lights inside. When I entered, there was some musty smell inside, but it was light and not heavy.

"Master Zhong, this is where you will rest tonight. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Just as I was observing the house carefully, Amu's voice suddenly sounded behind me, startling me.

"Thank you, Mrs. Amu."

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and spoke in a low voice.

Amu's wife stood at the door. When she saw me answering, she smiled softly. I thought her smile was a little strange. The corners of her mouth moved very loudly, like a puppet. Moreover, Amu's wife walked very lightly and made no sound.

, I was really shocked by her just now.

After she left, I closed the door tightly.

The things inside are arranged in a very orderly and simple way. The floor is wooden and the big bed is very soft. There are a few candles lit in the room. After closing the door, the sound outside can no longer be heard. I don’t know if it’s Gu.
