Chapter 28: Can't Leave

The mottled lights outside the window flashed across Lu Qiu's face. He clenched his fingers involuntarily and his heart began to beat wildly.

Although he had only known Xia Wange for a short time, he also had some understanding of the other person's character. He was always at ease in doing things and had never been as anxious as he was just now.

Lu Qiu didn’t know whether something extraordinary had happened to her or he had finally waited for the “opportunity” she mentioned.

The driver had been driving for Lu Qiu for a long time. He knew that his boss was in a hurry today, so he changed his usual habit of driving steadily, slowly and waited, and directly increased the speed to the maximum.

Although he didn't understand why the boss drove to an intersection, he still drove to his destination and pulled over.

Lu Qiu sat in the back seat, staring into the distance with deep eyes.

On the other side, Mrs. Tan and a few others watched Xia Wange light a stick of incense, say something incomprehensible nonsense, and leave without even locking the store door.

It was only then that they discovered that this small shop had never had a rolling shutter door like other small shops. It only had two bare glass doors, and now the lock that was originally hung on them was gone.

This means that if they want to go in, they can just push the door.

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

They are not the leaders and do not want to take responsibility, so they ask about everything.

Mother Tan glanced fiercely at the direction where Xia Wange left and said, "Come on, since her store is open for business, it's not against the law for us to go in and take a look, right? Don't you think so, Mr. Tan?"

Without waiting for Tan Laosan to reply, Tan Ma took the lead and walked towards the store. After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt a little dazed, as if the store in front of her suddenly disappeared. She shook her head, looked in the direction of the store on the left, and continued to walk towards it with big strides.

She put her hands on the glass door, frowned, turned around and greeted, "What are you all standing there for? Come in!"

But she didn't expect that just after she finished saying this, she suddenly found that the lighted shop was actually behind her! She turned around again and found that her arms were floating in the air in the posture of pushing the door, and in front of her were the relatives she brought with her!

"What's going on?" Tan's mother was so shocked that she couldn't speak. "Wasn't I pushing the door of the store just now?"

A thin relative was still trembling. "Second Mother, you just took a few steps towards the store entrance and suddenly turned around and walked back! We, we thought you changed your mind! What did you see?"

Mother Tan stared with her eyes wide open, her face turning pale and blue, and she was terrified. She spat, "My eyes were blurry and I felt dizzy just now! I don't believe I can't get in!"

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door of the shop.

But she didn't know when a brick appeared under her feet, and she tripped and fell to the ground. Her knee hurt, and she realized that she was kneeling in front of the incense stick that the woman had lit before!

Mother Tan looked at the incense in front of her, then turned back to look at the relatives standing there, "What just happened?"

"Second Mother." Several young people were so scared that their faces turned pale. "Just now, after you said you didn't believe that you couldn't get in, you walked straight to the incense. Second Mother, let's leave first. This place is very weird!"

Mother Tan's pupils suddenly dilated. She looked at the shaken relatives, then at the incense in front of her, and screamed, "Ghosts are afraid of evil people! I don't believe it. There are really such things in this world?! It must be the problem of this incense! Just like in the TV series! This incense can make people confused! We must have inhaled this incense!"

After saying that, Mother Tan reached out to fold the incense, but she tried several times and found that she had grabbed nothing. When she opened her eyes, the incense was still there!

It was clearly within reach of one hand, but she couldn't catch it no matter how many times she tried! The incense stick was clearly stuck in the ground, and she could reach it with just one hand! But she couldn't catch it no matter how hard she tried with both hands!

The relatives behind her were terrified. They saw Tan's mother spinning around desperately trying to grab something, and she kept shouting, "I caught it! I killed it! I killed it!"

But looking at the other person's steps, he was clearly getting farther and farther away from the incense!

There is only an open space of about 50 square meters in front of this small shop, but the other party has been circling around!

At this moment, everyone was very scared. They had just seen how devoutly the disheveled woman was kneeling in front of that man. Maybe she was really a powerful master!

A few people looked around, and one of them asked their backbone, "Tan Lao San, why don't we go? This kind of thing is very mysterious, it's better to believe it than not. We are just standing on the face of our relatives, helping to ask for some money and then making some extra money. There is no need to put ourselves in it, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, to be honest, my second uncle died early, and my cousin died too. It's hard to say whether my second mother will remarry or go to live in my cousin's city when she needs money. By then, we will no longer be members of the Tan family. There's no need for us to fight so hard, right?"

"Brother Tan, say something. To be honest, you are the one who brought us together. You said that we just need to follow you and support you. But now it's not that we don't support you, it's that we encountered those things!"

"Third brother, I don't care. I'm quitting. You can do whatever you want."

After several people complained at once, someone finally noticed something was wrong.

The man trembled and said, "You, you look at the third brother, why is his face so pale?"

Several people turned around to look. Although their faces were not good, they were definitely not like Tan Lao San, whose entire face was bluish-white, which was very scary!

Someone pushed him, "Third brother, Third brother!"

Suddenly, Tan Lao San's sturdy body shook violently, and then he showed a kind smile. He raised his hand to touch his temples, and smiled at the person who pushed him, "Lao Si's, what are you doing?"

The strange tone left everyone confused.

"Third brother, you..."

"Old Fourth, are you blind? I am not your third brother, I am clearly your third sister-in-law."

Several people's eyes widened instantly, and they took a few steps back, suddenly feeling their scalps tingling.

"Third, third brother, don't scare me at this time, I'm scared." The youngest person shouted in a trembling voice.

"Youngest, when has Third Sister-in-law ever lied to you? Don't you like the fermented glutinous rice wine eggs that Third Sister-in-law makes the most?"

"Ahhhh! I won't stay with you guys anymore! I want to go home!"

After saying that, he screamed and rushed towards the main road. He was about to reach the road, but as soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in his head and found himself colliding with the pale face of his third brother.

He staggered and fell to the ground, wiping his tears and asking, "Did I just run away?! I clearly ran away just now!"
