Chapter 164 Sometimes You Don’t Have to Be So Strong
Seeing this, the man squatted down and stretched out his hand.
The red rope fell into the palm of his hand.
The wind blew, bringing with it a faint scent of gardenia.
The man subconsciously tightened his grip on the red rope, his fingers turning white and trembling slightly.
Su Ping lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
After waiting for a long time until it was dawn outside, she hurried to knock on Lu Zhiyan's door next door.
When Lu Zhiyan opened the door and saw that it was her, he immediately stopped feeling sleepy.
He quickly covered his nightgown tightly and looked at her warily.
"Why are you at my house?"
Su Ping grabbed his collar, and the next second Lu Zhiyan jumped half a meter high like a frightened kangaroo.
"Don't be impulsive. It will have a bad influence during the day."
Seeing that he was looking at her warily, Su Ping really wanted to take him to the hospital for an X-ray to see if he had a brain disease.
It's like I'm being paranoid every day.
"Before the sun comes out, please accompany me for a walk."
[Host, you sound more like someone with a mental illness.]
Calabash Brothers is too tired to complain anymore.
But to Lu Zhiyan, these words sounded like an excuse for Su Ping to be alone with him.
He sighed with disgust, thought of what his mother had said to him, and resigned himself to going back to his room to change his clothes.
Which guest would come to someone's house and wake them up at five o'clock to take a walk when they are already asleep?
The morning fog had not yet completely dissipated, and the scene ten meters away was hazy and unclear.
While Lu Zhiyan was keeping a distance from Su Ping, he unknowingly found that they were getting further and further away from each other.
When he was a child, his mother wouldn't let him get close to this place, saying that it had a lot of negative energy, so she specially found a lot of talisman paper.
Su Ping was getting closer and closer to the house when suddenly Lu Zhiyan, who had been hiding from her, reached out and grabbed her arm.
"I suddenly feel a little tired, let's go back."
Lu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and thought of an excuse.
Want to go back? No way.
Su Ping pointed to the house not far ahead and said.
"Isn't there a place to rest over there? Let's go sit over there."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and walk over there.
But Lu Zhiyan held it tightly.
"Zhiyan, what's wrong?"
Su Ping smiled with her back to him, then turned her head and asked him, pretending not to understand.
Lu Zhiyan could only speak the truth: "The house in front is too gloomy. My mother has asked the servants to seal it up."
"Heavy Yin energy?"
Su Ping looked at Lu Zhiyan seriously for two seconds. The expression on his face didn't seem like he was lying.
It seems that he really didn't know that there was a living person imprisoned in there.
What secrets does this Mrs. Lu have? She even hid it from her own son.
After Lu Zhiyan finished speaking, he pulled Su Ping back and said, "Don't go near that room, my mother will be angry."
Su Ping didn't make things difficult for him anymore and followed him back to the hall.
I just happened to see Lu's mother coming down from upstairs.
She looked at Su Ping and Lu Zhiyan walking in from outside, her eyebrows twitched, and she spoke with a smile.
"Pingping, did you sleep well last night? Where did you go?"
Su Ping nodded and went over to hold her arm.
"Not so good. I had a dream. In the dream there was a black cat. I chased it and saw a house."
"Just now, I asked Zhiyan to accompany me for a walk and we saw the house, but he refused to go with me to take a look."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhiyan's expressions changed.
Lu Zhiyan didn't expect that she was so careless. He told her mother that she didn't like others mentioning that house, but she still complained to him in person.
Mrs. Lu didn't expect that Su Ping actually dreamed about that house, and she almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.
Su Ping observed the expression on her face. Mrs. Lu must have known that there was someone imprisoned there.
There is even a high possibility that she was the one who locked that person up in there herself.
Mother Lu tucked Su Ping's dew-soaked hair behind her ears and said, "That room, a servant hanged himself there before."
When Su Ping heard her say this, he pretended to be surprised and hugged her arms tightly.
Mother Lu was very satisfied with her reaction and continued.
"Then we often heard noises coming from inside, so Zhiyan's father and I asked an expert to draw some talismans and lock the place up."
This reason is perfect.
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes last night that there was someone locked up there, she would have believed it.
Lu Zhiyan obviously believed it. In broad daylight, he shrugged his shoulders and began to feel fortunate that he had never been close to that place.
Thinking of Lu Zhiyan's younger brother who was stillborn, Su Ping suddenly had a bold idea.
Suddenly, she looked at Mother Lu's kind face and felt a little strange.
Even a little scary.
After a quick meal, Su Ping asked Lu Zhiyan to take her home.
Seeing that her face looked bad, Lu Zhiyan thought that she was frightened by what her mother had said about hanging herself.
"It's just a dream. Don't be afraid. Even if there is something inside, it is suppressed by the talisman and cannot come out."
Hearing Lu Zhiyan comforting her awkwardly, Su Ping felt like laughing.
But she couldn't laugh, otherwise Lu Zhiyan would definitely feel embarrassed again.
Su Ping could only look out the window, pursing her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing.
In Lu Zhiyan's opinion, she didn't want him to see her crying.
What a strong woman.
Lu Zhiyan coughed once, and seeing that Su Ping didn't respond, he coughed twice more.
No response yet?
Su Ping was startled when she heard him coughing like he was having an attack, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, and she turned around quickly.
"Are you OK?"
She forgot that he was not feeling well and woke him up early in the morning and took him for a walk.
She is guilty!
Lu Zhiyan looked at the worried look on her face and snorted.
"Sometimes, you don't have to be so strong."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Zhiyan blushed and continued, "You can try to rely on me occasionally."
Brother, are you talking human language?
When did she become strong?
Su Ping expressed her incomprehension, but in order to save his face, she chose to smile and say nothing.
Lu Zhiyan was relentless: "Why don't you speak?"
Su Ping took two deep breaths and tried to keep smiling.
"You know, I'm not very nice."
I’m afraid that I might accidentally hurt your fragile self-esteem.
Lu Zhiyan curled his lips and smiled.
It turns out that she is a woman who says one thing and means another, and she is quite cute.
Mrs. Lu’s birthday is this weekend, and she should be entertaining some guests that day. I guess no one will care about the other house.
Su Ping planned to go and see who was inside that day.
She suddenly remembered something.
It's been so long since she fell off the cliff, why hasn't Su's father announced her death yet?
[Host, Su Zhinan, like the other three male supporting characters, can't accept the fact that you're dead, so he lied to himself and said you were traveling abroad.]
Thinking of Su Zhinan's face, Su Ping's eyes suddenly became moist.
[Calabash Brothers, can I send a dream to my father? ]
