【099】Looking for Shadow Hanmei Town
Jiang Rong was shocked and Zhong Kui looked at her with a scrutiny look, "Rongrong, what else do you have to hide from us?" Because when he just held her hand, he felt the summoning that was only possessed by the dark power in her dream.
What force is calling her, where she has been? These are what Zhong Kui is eager to know.
Jiang Rong always felt guilty and uneasy. This was also the scene where she frequently dreamed of flames and burning in nightmares. The person who caused her torment and suffering from nightmares was the ghost girl who died in the sea of fire and had no bones left.
After suffering from nightmares repeatedly, she also woke up. Gui Ya's voice, appearance, smile, was like Sun Wukong's tight curse, which made her headache and full of self-blame.
Without looking up, I deeply felt the deep and invisible eyes from my father, and the sharp eyes were reflected in my eyes. Jiang Rong was unconsciously cramped for a while and misunderstood her father's words. She thought he had seen through his thoughts, and after a self-psychological struggle, she took the initiative to say: "Yes, I have something to hide from you."
Zhiqing and Xu Min, who were looking at the "Mystery of Eternals", heard it, and were like Zhong Kui, and opened their eyes wide in surprise, waiting for her to continue talking.
"She is a very pitiful little girl with the power to communicate with ghosts. I use her power to draw supernatural comics that are unprecedented and unparalleled. In fact, the comics I draw are the secrets that the little girl learned from the ghost's mouth. The little girl didn't know that I was using her and kept providing me with comic themes. The comic themes have the real and unexplainable temptation, which attracted the attention of readers and publishers. I used to be famous for a while with comics, but it was also comics that pushed me into the bottomless abyss..."
Zhong Kui didn't say anything. In Jiang Rong's remorse and self-blame, his heart hurt like a torn apart. This little girl was not someone else, but she was really Jiang Rong's biological sister and his second daughter.
Zhiqing and Xu Min put down what they were doing and came to listen to Jiang Rong's story. The couple thought they knew the adopted daughter who had seen her since childhood, but they did not expect that she had such a greedy and lustful side.
"During that time, I was very nervous. What I was afraid of was that the secret told to me by the little girl accidentally forgot about it. So I worked day and night, and brought all the secrets she told to comics. It was because I worked day and night that I did not wake up in time that morning. The little girl finally discovered my secret base, a cottage with comic manuscripts. She was angry, fearful, and scared. She used the kerosene I bought in the town and the candles she picked up in the tomb to ignite all my efforts..."
Xu Min handed Jiang Rong a stack of tissues to wipe her tears.
Jiang Rong paused, and did not raise her eyes. She just raised her head slightly and continued to tell: "At that time, I was like a madman, and I was crazy and just wanted to snatch out the manuscript. Nothing else mattered. The little girl refused to agree and blocked me, sobbed... Wooh..." She cried so hard that her shoulder blades twitched and she couldn't help crying.
Zhong Kui, who was standing by, sighed heavily and said to himself, "If you knew she was your sister, you might not be crazy." But on the surface, he pretended to be calm and gentle and comforted: "It's okay, don't be nervous, everything has passed. Tell me about the fear in my heart, it's good. But I want to know why you are going to that kind of place and what's the name of the place you went?"
Jiang Rong raised her eyes with blurred tears and sobbed, "That place is called 'Hanmei Town'. I accidentally heard that the plum blossoms are famous there, so I wanted to go there for inspiration on a whim."
"I want to know, how did you do that little girl?" Zhiqing said expressionlessly.
Xu Min and Zhong Kui stopped him and said, "Forget it, it's all over, don't mention it..."
"Why can't you mention it? She is an adult and should have a sense of responsibility and responsibility." Zhiqing said almost in a roaring tone.
"Okay! Tell me about it to Uncle Chen." Zhong Kui frowned with thick eyebrows and said helplessly.
"Woooo...I...I pushed her to the ground and snatched the burning comic manuscripts... Later...I didn't know."
Zhiqing raised his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "It's so cold-blooded..." In Jiang Rong's memory, her adoptive father had never been so angry as he is now. He has always been kind to her. For the first time, he felt that he was about to lose this precious care. She suddenly felt inexplicable fear and helplessness, and wanted to seize this long-lasting care.
"Uncle Chen...I was wrong, wuwu...Can you forgive me?"
Xu Min didn't dare to speak or help Jiang Rong. She had to turn her eyes to Zhong Kui for help.
Zhong Kui grabbed a handful of hair in pain, looked at Jiang Rong with love and hatred. He looked at Zhiqing again and said, "Old brother, everything has passed. Rongrong is also obsessed with ghosts. Let's give her a chance. It's not the time to blame the mistake. We still have to find clues." Seeing that the other party had no objection, Zhu looked at Jiang Rong, who was deeply guilty and blamed himself, and said, "Actually, I don't want to hear you tell this story, I just want to find out where you have been. Before going, have you received some kind of hint message?"
Jiang Rong frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up and said, "Go, Menling Village is the place my mother once told me. But after growing up, she appeared in the dream for no reason. After inquiring, she knew that there was indeed Menling Village, so she was curious and wanted to see what this place looked like. I invited Han Bin and He Pengfei and the others to go and see it. That night, I saw the coffin and other things..."
Zhong Kui nodded and praised, "Let's go, are there any signs before you go to Hanmei Town?" Asking this was one of the questions in his heart. If it was a fate in the dark, there was nothing. The key was that the evil forces deliberately wanted to kill the little girl, which would lure Jiang Rong to go. Because the little girl had a psychic, just like her mother Xu Qian. If nothing unexpected happened, she could help Zhong Kui accomplish great things.
"I said everything. It was purely accidental to go to Hanmei Town." Jiang Rong seemed to refuse to answer the authenticity of this matter. She suddenly had a strange feeling, thinking that Zhong Kui, Zhiqing, and Xu Min were trying her like a prisoner. Then she developed a mentality of rejection, rebellion and resistance.
"Rongrong, dad, your Uncle Chen, Aunt Xu and your Brother Chen Jun, all love you very much. We are like a big family, you are our core. Think about your friends, their current situation..."
"I……"
