cloudy day

Chapter 18
The big eight-carried sedan chair and the weird woman suddenly appeared in my mind. I held my breath and hurried to the window, looking out the window secretly.

The strange thing is that I didn't see anyone, but I saw two dark winds circling in the yard, and I heard the sound of chains being dragged on the ground.

After observing for a while, I saw that the two whirlwinds actually floated into the foster father's wing.

I was worried about the safety of my adoptive father, and subconsciously wanted to rush up, but before I could take a step, I heard a man's voice from a dark corner behind me.

"do not go……"

I was so frightened that I trembled all over, and looked back quickly, only to see a white figure standing dimly in the dark corner of the room, as if it was the person holding the white lantern in the dream!

"Who...is it?" I asked softly, fumbling for the flashlight in the drawer.

The other party didn't answer, I turned on the flashlight tremblingly, and a beam of pale light shone there, but the corner was empty.

When I was in a daze, there was another noise in the yard. I looked back and saw two black whirlwinds floating out of the room in my adoptive father's house and slowly leaving the yard.

I was afraid that something would happen to my adoptive father, so I couldn't care less about the man in white, so I hurried to my adoptive father's room, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw a very strange scene.

There were many pale flesh and bones scattered on the ground. Judging from the shape, it was obvious that they were all human bones, including leg bones, ribs, and terrifying skulls...

The placement of these bones is very strange. I seem to have seen my adoptive father use stones to set up this kind of figure in the yard. This may be some kind of magic circle. Thinking of this, I dare not touch it.

"Father..." I called softly, and tiptoed to the kang, lifted the quilt and saw that there was no one under the quilt!

"Father, where are you?" I cried anxiously, and there seemed to be some noises in the closet next to me.

I walked over slowly, and just about to open the closet door, I saw a note falling out from the gap in the closet door.

I picked it up and opened it, and it said: "They haven't left yet, don't open the cabinet, go back to the room to sleep, and come back to me at dawn."

This is the adoptive father's handwriting. Why did the adoptive father hide in the closet?
I was very puzzled, but I still did what my adoptive father said, and quietly returned to my room.

I couldn't sleep anymore that night, and I regretted not listening to my adoptive father. Since the moment I exposed my abilities, strange things happened one after another, and I also suffered disaster and bad luck.

A few hours passed, and finally it was dawn, and I couldn't wait to come to the wing.

When he opened the door, his adoptive father had already come out of the closet. He was sitting on a chair, and his complexion looked much better.

"Changsheng, you're awake." The adoptive father smiled slightly, stood up from the chair, and walked a few steps in the room.

"Father...Father, your legs!" I yelled in disbelief, and my adoptive father's originally crippled legs were healed.

I took a closer look, and my adoptive father's complexion was ruddy, and his body became tougher, as if he had returned to his youthful state.

"Changsheng, don't go to the county seat today, I want you to accompany me to the village."

"Father, can you tell me what's going on? What happened last night?" I asked excitedly and puzzled.

"Last night, two people wanted to arrest me and take me to a very cold, dark and gloomy place." The adoptive father said lightly.

"Father...Father, what are you talking about..." I asked in a daze.

"Let's go, let's go for a stroll in the village with Dad, and I'll tell you everything tonight." My adoptive father said with a smile, but my heart became more and more uneasy.

During the day, my adoptive father and I walked around the village and climbed the mountain, overlooking the scenery below the mountain.This day seems to return to the good time when I was a child, when my adoptive father took me to the mountains to collect herbs.

Soon the sun was setting, and the night was gradually falling. My adoptive father and I returned home. I prepared dinner and brought it to the side room, but at this moment, the appearance of my adoptive father changed again!
The moment I saw my adoptive father, the rice bowl in my hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that the adoptive father was aging rapidly like a shriveled ball, his legs were disabled again, he was sitting slumped on the bed, exuding a rotten smell...
