Demon Lord Rescue Plan [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 39

He inadvertently saw a black and white photo hanging on the wall, a woman sitting on a chair with dignity, holding a white long-haired cat in her arms, smiling brightly and charmingly at the camera.

"This photo..."

Without waiting for Gu Xiangyang to ask, the old woman seemed to know what Gu Xiangyang wanted to ask: "At that time, my family was poor, and I went to work as a maid in a rich family's house in Jiangcheng when I was more than ten years old. This is my young lady, she is pretty. The boys chasing her can line up from the top to the bottom of the city. But good people don't live long, they die at a young age..." She wiped her eyes sadly when she said this.

"It must have been decades ago. Now that I think about it, I still wipe my tears, and I still post the photos at home. It seems that my mother-in-law has a deep affection for this young lady." Gu Xiangyang continued to look at the room without any trace. , hoping to find some traces of sorcery.

"Young man..." The old lady took Gu Xiangyang's hand while talking, the cold touch on his hand made him startled, and he withdrew his hand all of a sudden.

Seeing his reaction, the old lady withdrew her hand apologetically: "The old lady is a little weak, and her body has always been so cold, so it didn't scare you."

After being so chilled by the old woman, Gu Xiangyang realized that the room was too cool. The sun was shining brightly outside, and he was still sweating when he came in. Now he just sat there for a few minutes, and he didn't feel the heat at all. Moreover, Gu Xiangyang looked around, and there was no air conditioner in the room.

Before Gu Xiangyang could think about it, the old woman's voice interrupted his thoughts: "How is Gao Hong now? Are you used to living in Yang's house..."

Next, Gu Xiangyang racked his brains only to answer the old woman's question, and had no energy to think about other things at all.

"Knowing that Mr. Yang treats Hong Hong well, I'm relieved..." the old lady lowered her head and muttered to herself.

Gu Xiangyang grabbed the backpack that was put aside, stood up and said: "It's getting late, and I won't waste your time, I will tell Sister Hong about my mother-in-law, and let her come to visit you with Brother Yang in two days old man."

"Wait a minute!" The old lady stood up, took out a bag of fruit from the yard and handed it to Gu Xiangyang: "You take this fruit, it is grown by yourself, although it is not as good-looking as the one sold outside, but it is sweet, you take it back Try it."

"Thank you." The old man refused in a bad mood, and Gu Xiangyang took the bag: "Mother-in-law, sit down, I can go out by myself."

Gu Xiangyang didn't dare to stay any longer, if he stayed any longer, he would be worn out. When he walked out of the room, he looked back, and the old lady stood in front of the photo at some point, staring blankly. Even paler and colder, Gu Xiangyang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Carrying the fruit, Gu Xiangyang turned his head and resumed his stiff steps. For some reason, it was a very normal scene, but it made him feel chills.

After walking some distance away from the small courtyard and standing in the sun for a few minutes, Gu Xiangyang regained his composure.

"Hey, young man, why did you come out after sitting for so long?" It was the fat aunt I met at the door before. I don't know where she went just now, with a smile on her face, she looked very happy.

Gu Xiangyang is not sure whether the abnormal situation in the room just now is related to Gao Hong's sorcery. Maybe the sorcery that confuses Yang Shuangwei comes from the mother-in-law just now, or Gao Hong is innocent, and she and her husband are pure love That's all.

Everything is possible, and in this world of ghosts, the effects of various spells are even more unpredictable.

"I just came to see the old lady on behalf of Brother Yang." Gu Xiangyang and the fat aunt walked together under the shade of a cool tree. He put the fruit aside and complained casually: "Brother Yang's family is quite surprised, He finally chose Gao Hong as his wife, so he asked me to come and see..."

"The family conditions of the Yang family are quite good. I saw Mr. Yang come back with Gao Hong once. Mr. Yang is really handsome. I really don't know how Gao Hong found such a good boyfriend."

"Auntie, I want to ask, have you lived here for so long, have you seen any unusual things in their house? Or are they acting strange?"

"An unusual thing?" The fat aunt gave Gu Xiangyang a strange look, "What could be so strange? You rich people are just superstitious."

"Where." Gu Xiangyang took off the backpack, took out 300 yuan from it, and stuffed it into the hands of the fat aunt: "I just want to inquire about the news, after all, I will become the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and I just want to find out about Hongjie's family situation." ..."

"Large families are troublesome..." The fat aunt quickly put the money into her trouser pocket, squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "There are really strange things to say. But the strange thing is not Gao Hong, but her grandma. She is our grandma. The longest-lived resident here, Gao Hong, has saved a little after work and wants to move to the city from here, but the old woman just doesn't want to move. When I come back to see her grandma, she always carries big and small bags."

"It's normal for the elderly to not want to move after getting used to it..."

"She's not a nostalgic person." The fat aunt interrupted Gu Xiangyang, approached Gu Xiangyang mysteriously, covered her face with a cattail fan and said, "Every time this old woman turns fifteen, she will Going out to buy some things, I accidentally knocked over her bag once before, and there were some yellow paper money and cinnabar in it."

Seeing that she was curious about what was in the bag in Granny Gao's hand just now, it must not be careless to knock over the bag or something.

"Who still uses that yellow paper money these days? Even if it's for ancestor worship, it's too frequent, and..."

She hesitated to speak, and glanced at Gu Xiangyang's backpack suggestively.

Gu Xiangyang understood immediately, and handed the last three banknotes brought out today to her. The fat auntie held the money in her hand tightly, her eyes smiling like slits: "The old woman raised a lot of chickens in the backyard. One will disappear by the fifteenth, and we haven't seen where she worships, I guess, there must be a special place for sacrifices in her home."

The fat aunt took the cattail fan and slapped it, with a look of fear on her face, "Young man, I told you this because of your kindness. On the fifteenth day of last month, my guy went out to drink very late. I just came back, and when I was passing by Gao’s courtyard, I vaguely saw the old woman kneeling to someone, the old woman was crying very sadly, the crying was so shrill, it woke him up in an instant, waiting for him to wake up When I had the courage to look again, the lights in the old woman’s house were turned off, and he had a high fever after returning that day, and had nightmares for several days.”

The Gao family is really not simple, but towards the end of the semester, even Qinglan High School, which has always been loosely managed, has entered a state of intense review. Gu Xiangyang's time is occupied by studies, and he has no time to investigate the affairs of Granny Gao's family.
