Chapter 17: Encountering a Ghost at Midnight



Old Mrs. Luo quickly stepped forward and pushed Luo Xingci aside, wishing she could slap her to death, "Xingci, what are you looking for? Grandma will help you find it." It is true that no matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. How come she didn't realize that she was such a person before? She was just like that woman. She thought she was a good person, but what was the result?

Luo Xingci searched the entire room but couldn't find the money or the ticket, so he clapped his hands and turned to look at Old Mrs. Luo.

"Grandma, didn't you ask me to buy some cloth? I'm looking for cloth coupons. How can I buy clothes without them?" She rolled her eyes. It was all my fault for not asking her for cloth coupons before. She was so excited to see the money that she forgot something as important as the coupons.

"If you want the cloth coupons, just ask grandma directly. How can you come in and look for them by yourself? That's impolite. If your in-laws find out, won't they dislike you?" Old Mrs. Luo started lecturing her, acting like she was doing it for your own good, and she almost made Luo Xingci vomit.

"My dear husband, I see that you just don't want to give it to me. If you don't want to give it to me, just say so. What's wrong with me looking for it? I am the child of the Luo family. Sooner or later, all the things of the Luo family will be mine. Why are you, a married woman from outside, complaining so much? Even if I take it, it will be my own things."

It seems that she will have to set the rules in the future. Everyone in the Luo family will have to give her their money and things. She wants to be the master of this family and she wants to stand over their heads and pee and shit.

Not finding anything else, Luo Xingci took the tickets and walked out directly. When he passed by Old Lady Luo, he nudged her with his elbow, and Old Lady Luo was almost knocked to the ground.

This is strange. Didn't Mrs. Luo go to get the money this month? According to her previous habit, she would go to the town to get the money these days. How come she hasn't gone to get it yet when the month is almost over?

Who on earth sends money to Old Lady Luo every month? She always feels that Old Lady Luo seems to be hiding some secret, and no one in the family knows, including Luo Jianmin. She must find out what secret Old Lady Luo is hiding.

Luo Xingci deliberately went to Old Lady Luo's room to look for things. She wanted to make her anxious and expose her true colors.

Back on the mountain, Luo Xingci met the savage at the door, with two white wolves following him majestically.

When the savage saw her, he cried out twice and saw something in his hand. Luo Xingci couldn't see clearly what it was. Maybe it was something he was using to repay his gratitude.

"Are you here to see me?"

Before the savages could react, the two wolves howled, scaring Luo Xingci so much that his face turned pale.

She waved her hands, "Stop howling, you're scaring me to death." Every time she saw these two wolves, she was afraid that they would eat her. She didn't dare to provoke these things. What if they got hungry one day and ate her?

The savage seemed to sense her fear. He lowered his head and muttered something to the white wolf. Then the two wolves lay on the ground aggrievedly like dogs, and looked at Luo Xingci with aggrieved eyes.

The savage handed the thing in his hand to Luo Xingci, and was gesturing something, which she didn't understand. Maybe he was abandoned by his family and was later picked up and raised by wolves.

Just like her, she was also not liked by her family, but at least the Luo family did not abandon her because she was valuable.

But in this era, no one would throw away a boy, right? Maybe some rich man married a stepmother, and the stepmother was afraid that all the family property would fall on him, so she took him out and threw him away.

Then they looked at the savage with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. They didn't know which wealthy family had abandoned this child. It was really pitiful. He had lived with a pack of wolves since he was a child. If it weren't for the two wolves, he would probably have died, right?

Even if he could return home in the future, how much would he have missed? No amount of compensation could make up for it.

The savage had no idea what she was thinking. At that moment, he was holding a wooden doll that he had carved himself. It looked a bit like her, and he had also made a beautiful skirt for the doll.

Luo Xingci held the doll in her hand, looking at it in a daze. This was the first time someone gave her a gift, and it was handmade. No one in the Luo family had ever cared about her. Even on her birthday, no one would remember it. But it was different for other children in the Luo family.

On the birthdays of other children in the Luo family, Grandma Luo would make them a bowl of longevity noodles and boil an egg.

There is no harm without comparison.

Seeing how much she liked it, the savage smiled.

"Do you want to be able to talk like me?" Luo Xingci suddenly turned around and asked the savage. She thought that if the savage could talk, at least communication would not be so difficult in the future, and everyone would be able to take care of each other in the mountains. If possible, she could also take the other party into her own hands and make him work for her.

Keep this in mind first. She is not a saint. After teaching him something, she will definitely let him help her.

The savage seemed to understand what she said and nodded suddenly.

In this way, Luo Xingci would make an appointment with him to exercise in the mountains when she had time. The savage would also teach her how to fight and how to run fast, and she would teach him how to speak and read.

A few days passed like this, and Luo Xingci went down the mountain and returned to the Luo family.

Old Mrs. Luo hadn't seen her for a few days and was feeling a little nervous. Her son had told her that the factory director's family was very satisfied with that bitch Luo Xingci, and asked her to treat her well these days and not let her run around outside. The factory director also promised that if this was successful, he would let his son be the office director.

If Luo Xingci married and gave birth to a son for the factory director's family, then his son could come to him for help whenever he had any problems in the future, and he would definitely help if he could. For the sake of her son's future, Old Lady Luo tried her best.

"Oh, Xingci girl, where have you been these days? Grandma made a new set of clothes for you. Let me show it to you." It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Luo Xingci just came back. No one knew where she had been.

Luo Jianmin scolded, "Girls, don't run around everywhere. If anything happens, don't blame me for not warning you."

"You're the one who should be in charge? You haven't been in charge for more than ten years. Why are you pretending to be a good father now? If you really want to do this for my own good, then kick that woman Wu Haixia out. Can you do it? If you can't, don't talk nonsense to me."

Luo Jianmin choked, said nothing more, and turned back into the house.

Old Mrs. Luo came out with clothes. The clothes were colorful and the fabric was not new. It looked very rough. Luo Xingci took a closer look and turned back into the house.

"Bah, bitch!" Old Mrs. Luo took the clothes back to her room. If she didn't want them, that would be fine. If she hadn't been waiting for that bitch Luo Xingci, she would have gone to bed long ago.

At night, the surroundings were very quiet, even the chirping of crickets could be heard clearly. Luo Xingci jumped onto Old Lady Luo's window, then rolled over and landed on the ground.

Her hair was disheveled and covered her eyes. She walked slowly to the head of Old Mrs. Luo's bed, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to shake Old Mrs. Luo's arm.

"Hmm~" Old Mrs. Luo let out a moan full of the coquettishness of an old woman, and then opened her eyes, just in time to see a dark shadow lying on the head of her bed.

"Ah!" A scream broke through the sky, she seemed to see Tai Nai!
