Republic of China

Chapter 64 The puppet holds an umbrella
Inside the bustling teahouse.

Wang Dachui and Zhao Sanyuan stared at each other.

One is proud, the other is confused.

Thunder exploded in the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, and soon it began to rain heavily.

Since winter has not completely entered, Feng Province often experiences alternating rain and snow.

Wang Dachui held up the black oil paper fan he had brought with him and skipped away. Then he came back as if he had remembered something and placed two candies on the counter.

"My father said that business cannot be done without righteousness. Although you are nothing, uncle, the future is long. Many friends mean many paths~"

Seeing the old and angry Wang Dachui leaving, Zhao Sanyuan took a while to recover.

I had been feeling the presence of ghosts around me before, but I didn't feel anything unusual until Wang Dachui left.

By your side?
There's no reason why you can't feel it.

Could it be that the little girl's movie was deliberately deceiving?
But what is the purpose of doing this?
Even a blind person can see that she is just being silly.

"Sir, did you watch that girl's video just now? She said her dead mother was beside her, but why didn't I feel it at all?"

Chang Luoguan, who was sitting next to him, was reading the book with gusto and ignored Zhao Sanyuan at all. He didn't know where he got this seven-hand Chinese translation of "The Origin of Species", and he gave unique insights from time to time.

"Tsk tsk~ It's quite interesting~"

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sanyuan didn't think much more and continued to be lazy.

Wang family compound.

When Wang Dachui just crossed the high threshold, Mrs. Wang, who was responsible for taking care of her personally, ran over.

"Oh my dear, Miss, where have you gone so crazy? Come on, come with me and come into the house to wash up. If you catch the cold, I'll have to scold me again."

After taking the umbrella, Mrs. Wang took Wang Dachui and walked towards the boudoir.

Lao Wang's family is a big family and an official, so the ostentation is naturally a thing of the past.

The mansion is complete with pavilions, rockeries and ponds. Wang Dachui alone has a two-story boudoir, which is larger than the main body of the Sandwich Tea House.

A wealthy family must have private schools and accompanying students.

Wang Dachui had just taken a hot bath when an older girl ran into the boudoir.

"It's so unreasonable, young lady, to sneak out and play without me."

"Go, go, you, Xu Ni, are the daughter of the housekeeper's fourth uncle. Doesn't taking you out mean exposing myself?"

Xu Ni chuckled. After hearing some movement from the attic, she asked with excitement, "Sister-in-law Wang is busy upstairs and won't be able to come down for a while. How about we continue playing yesterday's game?"

When he heard the word game, Wang Dachui was not very interested. "Anyway, I have fulfilled my wish now. Let's play again in two days."

"Ah?" Xu Ni was stunned, "It's effective so quickly?"

Wang Dachui said proudly: "Of course. After you left last night, she played hide and seek with me all night. I said your method was very effective. I will give you two Harbin red sausages as a reward later."

Seeing that the eldest lady was not in high spirits, Xu Ni felt regretful and secretly cursed herself for leaving too early yesterday and not seeing the most exciting part.

But soon her eyes rolled and something came to her mind.

"Hey~ Let's just be on the safe side. Even if the wife really comes back, I'm afraid you can't chat, right? So we still have to communicate through games. Now, while it's raining heavily outside, Mrs. Wang is busy in the attic again. , how about we have another round?"

Just do it.

Xu Ni dug under her gums and found a wooden box, which contained a folded black cloth and a porcelain bowl.

When the black cloth was spread out, it was about one foot in diameter, with small white letters densely written on it in large circles and small circles, and the porcelain bowl was turned upside down in the middle blank space.

Wang Dachui and Xu Ni sat opposite each other on the black cloth with their eyes closed, each placing an index finger on the edge of the center of the inverted porcelain bowl.

Obviously, two and a half-year-old children are trying out unknown mysteries.

"Madam, are you there?"

Click!

There was a faint thunderclap in the sky.

The index fingers of the two children clearly felt the power coming from the porcelain bowl.Without any external force, it slowly moved in the direction of Wang Dachui, and finally stopped at a certain position.

After a few seconds, the two children opened their eyes. They knew the rule that they were not allowed to open their eyes when asking questions. They could only open their eyes to see the answer after the porcelain bowl had moved and stopped for more than three seconds.

The red straight line drawn on the edge of the porcelain bowl points to a word on the black cloth.

exist!
After receiving a response, Xu Nile bared her teeth.

In the past, I had heard others talk about ghosts and gods and had only a vague understanding of them. Later, I accidentally learned about the shackles technique that could 'tune ghosts and gods' and found Wang Dachui. The two children did not hesitate at all and took action last night.

After feeling the mysterious power again, Xu Ni winked at Wang Dachui and closed her eyes.

"Madam, are you a ghost?"

After the second question was asked, there was no response for a long time.

Apart from the sound of each other's breathing, there was only the sound of the sparse rain outside.

Wang Dachui couldn't help but opened his eyes and complained: "Look, what kind of question are you asking? If I were dead and heard this, I wouldn't want to talk to you. Mother, we don't have the same experience as her."

Xu Ni, who knew she had said something wrong, smiled and apologized.

But she knew very well that she and the eldest lady definitely did not use any strength on the porcelain bowl. The porcelain bowl was completely moving.

There was no response to the second question. It must be that he was unwilling to answer.

It's ok.

Ask another one.

"Madam, after you drove west, did you eat every day? Did you sleep?"

After a brief moment of calm, the porcelain bowl slid in the other direction and stopped in front of a white character.

Do not!
"Then what do you usually do to relieve your boredom?"

at the same time.

Mrs. Wang in the attic is sorting out Wang Dachui's old clothes.

Suddenly the sound of ticking music came, startling her.

The sound came from a storage box. Mrs. Wang swallowed and bravely walked forward.

I saw that the boxes were filled with dolls and dolls that Wang Dachui had grown tired of playing with, and many of the fabrics had faded.

From the gap, the true appearance of the thing that made the sound was revealed.

An old music box.

Sister-in-law Wang breathed a sigh of relief. After placing the dolls, she turned off the switch of the music box. "Foreign toys are different. They can still make sounds on their own after being idle for several years."

After laughing at herself for making a fuss, she closed the lid of the storage box and prepared to leave the attic.

But just as she turned around, she was immediately shocked on the spot, and her hair stood on end in shock.

staircase.

A puppet stood there without warning!

Mrs. Wang was extremely sure that the doll had just been put into the storage box.

Maybe it was just because of my dazzling eyes that I misremembered it. What the assassin puppet was holding made Mrs. Wang’s scalp go numb.

The little puppet held an unopened black umbrella in its hand, which was exactly the one Wang Dachui used before. Its posture was like holding a sharp knife.

Mrs. Wang rubbed her eyes vigorously, convinced that she must be hallucinating.

But when she opened her eyes again, the puppet was hovering strangely in the air in front of her.

boom--!
The black umbrella suddenly opened!

Hugely frightened, Mrs. Wang instinctively screamed and retreated. Unexpectedly, her back heel hit the storage box. She lost her balance and stumbled, breaking through the guardrail of the attic balcony and falling downwards.
