Chapter 44 New Effects
They ran towards Li Ling happily like two little rabbits. When they saw Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei beside Li Ling, the two little ones stopped in their tracks and looked at them timidly, their eyes full of curiosity and a hint of vigilance.
Since their father became a murderer, no one except the debt collectors had come to their house, and the neighbors around them also avoided their home. It was as if they had a virus that would infect them.
Li Ling walked forward and rubbed the heads of the two little ones, "Don't be afraid, they are my sister's friends, this is Aunt Ling, this is Sister Lingyao, call them quickly."
"Aunt Ling! Sister Lingyao!" The two little ones called out timidly and hid behind Li Ling, looking at Lingyao and Ling Xuemei with their bright eyes.
Ling Xuemei has always liked children. She felt in her pocket and didn't feel anything, "Yaoyao, do you have anything to eat?" If she had known that Li Ling had younger brothers and sisters, she would definitely not come empty-handed.
Ling Yao took out two candies from her pocket and handed them to Ling Xuemei.
Ling Xuemei took it, walked forward, squatted down, and handed the candy to the two little ones, "Eat candy."
The two little ones looked at each other and looked at Li Ling at the same time.
"Take it." Li Ling smiled and nodded.
The two little ones immediately showed a happy smile and reached out to take the candy from Ling Xuemei's hand, "Thank you, Auntie Ling!" They haven't eaten candy for a long time, and they almost forgot what candy tasted like.
"Good boy!" Ling Xuemei rubbed the heads of the two children lovingly.
"Auntie Ling, Ling Yao, I'll take you to the room first." Li Ling handed the bag in her hand to her sister, "You and your brother eat first, and your sister will be here in a while."
"Okay." Li Lan nodded obediently, took the bag, and took her brother's hand to walk into the house.
Li Ling brought Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei to her room and lit the oil lamp. "You can stay here tonight. The quilt has been dried in the sun."
"Thank you!" Ling Yao took a look at the room. There was no other furniture except a bed and a bench. It was really bare.
"Then you can go to sleep. I will live in the next room. Call me if you have anything." After saying this, Li Ling walked out of the room and closed the door for Ling Yao and the others.
Ling Xuemei walked to the bed and sat down. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Yaoyao, why don't we rent that house?" She was not afraid before, but after hearing that voice tonight, she felt a little uneasy.
After thinking it over again and again, she still felt that it was better not to rent that house. She was fine, since she was old, but Yaoyao was still young. If something happened, it would be too late to regret.
"I'll think about it." Ling Yao planned to go to the house tonight to see what was causing the trouble.
In the dead of night, Ling Yao heard Ling Xuemei's even breathing. She sat up, put on her clothes, and quietly slipped out.
When they arrived at the rented yard, it was eerie and spooky in the night, especially the knocking sounds that kept coming one after another, which made people shudder.
Ling Yao opened the door and walked into the yard. After closing the door, she saw several black shadows floating in the air in the yard. "Who is there?"
She chased after the shadows, wanting to find out, but after a few steps, the shadows disappeared.
While Ling Yao was wondering, she felt something approaching her from behind.
Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt that the jade pendant hanging on her chest was getting slightly hot. She lowered her head in confusion and saw a white mist overflowing from the jade pendant hanging on her chest and rolling behind her.
"Ah! Ah~" Several sharp voices rang in the air.
Ling Yao turned around in surprise and saw several figures struggling in the white mist. After a while, they were swallowed by the mist and disappeared without a trace.
As the shadows disappeared, the cold air around them also disappeared. The air in the whole yard became fresher and no longer as dead as before.
The white mist turned into wisps and slowly floated back to the jade pendant hanging on Ling Yao's chest. The temperature of the jade pendant also gradually dropped and returned to its previous temperature.
Ling Yao looked down at the jade pendant on her chest, her eyes full of disbelief, "This jade pendant actually has this effect, it's amazing."
After muttering to herself, Ling Yao appeared in the space the next moment. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the white mist in the space seemed to be much thicker than before.
After taking a deep breath, Ling Yao smiled happily. This space is really a treasure. Fortunately, the jade pendant was not taken away by Zhou Yu in this life.
A red sun gradually rose from the horizon, illuminating the entire earth, and the quiet city began to bustle again.
Ling Yao walked out of the room and saw Li Ling making breakfast in the kitchen, so she walked in.
"You're awake. Did you sleep well?" Li Ling was cooking rice and porridge. Seeing Ling Yao come in, she smiled at her.
"I'm fine. Do you want my help?"
"No, I'll be fine soon. I'm sorry to bother you and auntie. I only have rice and porridge at home." This rice was the leftovers she brought back from the state-owned hotel yesterday. But compared to before, she is now very satisfied. At least now she can eat a full meal every day.
Ling Yao walked to the side, took a few bowls, and handed them to Li Ling, "When will Auntie be discharged from the hospital?"
"This Saturday." Li Ling took the bowl and put the rice porridge into the bowl, "Where is Auntie Ling?"
"She went out early in the morning and should be back soon."
As soon as the voice fell, Ling Xuemei's gentle voice came from outside the door, "I'm back, I went out to buy some fried dough sticks and big cakes, Li Ling, go and call Lanlan and Xiaogang to come over to eat." She felt embarrassed for not bringing anything yesterday, so she went to buy breakfast early this morning.
"Auntie Ling, how can I feel embarrassed when you do this." Li Ling's nose was a little sour. She was lucky to know Ling Yao and Auntie Ling.
Ling Xuemei smiled and put the big cake and fried dough sticks on the table, "Go and call them, they won't taste good if they get cold."
"Okay." Li Ling sniffed, suppressed the tears in her eyes, and walked out quickly.
After a while, Li Ling came in with Li Lan and Li Gang, "Auntie Ling bought you fried dough sticks and big cakes, you should thank Auntie Ling."
"Thank you, Auntie Ling!" The two little ones' eyes lit up when they saw the fried dough sticks and big cakes on the table, and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They hadn't eaten fried dough sticks and big cakes for a long time, and they almost forgot what they tasted like.
"Come and eat." Ling Xuemei took out fried dough sticks and big cakes from the bag and called the two little ones with a smile.
The two little ones smiled brightly, quickened their pace, walked to Ling Xuemei, took the fried dough sticks and big cakes and started eating, with satisfied looks on their faces.
