After scanning the surroundings, ensuring that there were only the two of them, Qin Qianyi asked, "Ann, are you talking to someone?"
Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes and lowered her small head guiltily, "Emm..."
Qin Qianyi’s expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
He looked around in panic, "Ann, you, it’s not, me."
His tongue seemed to be tied, unable to form a complete sentence.
They say that children’s eyes can see things that adults cannot.
Could it be that Ann is seeing ghosts? But how could there be ghosts in broad daylight?
Qin Qianyi felt a chill in his heart, but he still held Ann in his arms, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
"Ann, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!" Qin Sui’an innocently raised her little face and said in a sweet voice, "Eldest Brother, Ann is not scared."
It was actually the Eldest Brother who was trembling violently, causing her small body to tremble as well.
"Eldest Brother, don’t be afraid."
Qin Sui’an reached out her small hand and hugged him back, gently patting him.
"Ann can protect Eldest Brother."
These words from Ann directly touched the softest part of Qin Qianyi’s heart.
"Ann..."
No one had ever said to him that they would protect him.
The first person to say such words to him turned out to be his three-and-a-half-year-old sister, Ann.
Indeed, younger sisters are the warmest and most considerate little cotton jackets.
Qin Qianyi gently rubbed Ann’s head, feeling moved by her thoughtfulness, but also a bit fearful of the possible presence of a third party around them.
The old man stroked his beard, his gaze assessing Ann’s Eldest Brother from head to toe.
"At such a young age, he has quite a good build."
He had previously sneaked into the ice cellar to witness this young man beating someone.
The force behind that punch, the fierce strength it carried, almost scattered his soul.
This kind of strength reminded him of his second grandson.
His second grandson had always been much stronger than ordinary people since he was young.
Sometimes when they played and practiced boxing together, he almost vomited blood from being hit.
The old man looked at Qin Qianyi with a slightly gentle expression.
"Ann, is your Sixth Brother afraid of ghosts?"
Qin Sui’an’s small hand was still resting on her Eldest Brother’s body, gently patting.
Upon hearing the old man’s words, she wrinkled her little nose and immediately said in a sweet voice, "Ann was scared the first time she heard grandpa’s voice, Grandpa, you can’t scare Eldest Brother."
Qin Qianyi looked around in horror.
The old man?!
In her mind, she involuntarily imagined a white-haired, pale-faced, sinister old ghost.
How terrifying! The old man raised three fingers as a pledge, "I didn’t laugh, I really didn’t laugh."
Looking at the young man again, who had a crying expression, the old man said, "Ann, it seems like your Eldest Brother is about to cry."
Qin Sui’an quickly comforted him in a soft voice, "Eldest Brother, don’t be afraid, grandpa won’t eat people."
"Yes, yes, I won’t eat people or harm anyone."
The old man nodded in agreement.
Qin Sui’an added, "The old man won’t harm anyone either!"
Qin Qianyi was speechless, laughing and crying.
"Ann, can you see this grandpa?"
"Ann can’t see!" Qin Sui’an shook her little head.
"Sixth Brother, Ann can only hear the old man’s voice!"
"I see." Qin Qianyi found it even more eerie.
He could only hear the voice but not see the ghost.
He no longer felt that this place was a feng shui treasure.
Now, he only felt that it was gloomy and eerie.
Qin Qianyi tried to calm himself down and asked, "Ann, how about we go outside to play?"
Before Qin Sui’an could answer her Eldest Brother’s question, she heard the old man say, "What are you going to play? Take me with you!"
His voice was filled with excitement.
Qin Sui’an raised her little face and looked at her Eldest Brother, asking softly, "Eldest Brother, what are we going to play? The old man also wants to play with us!"
"What? Play with us?!"
This second half of the sentence was undoubtedly a thunderbolt from a clear sky for Qin Qianyi.
He thought that by leaving this flower garden, he could leave the old ghost behind, but he didn’t expect the old ghost to follow them!
Qin Qianyi urgently needed his Eldest Brother for the first time.
"Ann, let’s go find our Eldest Brother first."
He couldn’t bear it anymore.
Upon hearing this, the old man couldn’t bear it either.
He immediately said, "No! Why do you want to find your Eldest Brother? If you find Eldest Brother, I won’t be able to play with you."
Qin Sui’an’s troubled little brows furrowed, "Sixth Brother, the old man said that if we find Eldest Brother, he won’t be able to play with us."
What Qin Qianyi wanted was for this old ghost not to be able to play with them.
Indeed, his Eldest Brother could handle this old ghost! But he couldn’t say that to Ann.
"So, we..."
Qin Qianyi racked his brains, trying to find a way to go and find his Eldest Brother.
Just at that moment, Qin Sui’an’s two little ears twitched lightly, hearing the footsteps of their Eldest Brother approaching them.
Her eyes widened, "Eldest Brother is coming to find us."
Qin Qianyi took a deep breath, "That’s great!"
The old man took a sharp breath, "Ann, I’ll leave now, I’ll come to play with you next time!"
As he floated away, Qin Fujia slowly approached the flower bushes.
Seeing that Ann hadn’t come out yet, he entered the flower bushes.
As soon as he entered, someone pounced on him.
"Eldest Brother! You finally came!"
Qin Qianyi trembled and hugged his Eldest Brother, pointing around with trembling hands, then lowered his voice, "Eldest Brother, there’s a ghost here! It’s an old ghost!"
Qin Fujia was forced down to the ground by him and fell silent for a moment.
He helped him up and said, "Ann isn’t afraid, why are you so scared?"
"Eldest Brother, don’t you feel terrified?" \Qin Qianyi said, glancing around anxiously.
Qin Fujia moved closer to Ann, opened his palm, and handed her a yellow talisman,
"Ann, this talisman is for you, just keep it in your pocket."
"Thank you, Eldest Brother!"
Qin Sui’an carefully held the talisman given to her by her Eldest Brother, looking at it curiously with wide eyes, "Eldest Brother, what is this?"
Qin Fujia patiently replied, "It has the same effect as my Buddhist beads, it can ward off disasters and evil spirits."
"Oh!!!" Qin Sui’an didn’t quite understand what warding off disasters and evil spirits meant, but she knew that it was a gift from her Eldest Brother.
She treasured the talisman and hid it in her pocket, gently patting it and smiling sweetly, "Eldest Brother, Ann will keep it safe in her pocket!"
"Good girl."
Qin Fujia felt relieved now.
With this talisman, that filthy thing couldn’t get close to Ann anymore.
Qin Qianyi approached, pitifully tugging at his Eldest Brother’s clothes, "Eldest Brother, I want a talisman too."
