How could this jade pendant appear out of nowhere? !
Xiao Tangqiu was startled and his hand shook violently, causing the jade pendant to fall to the ground with a crisp sound.
A chill ran up his back, and he subconsciously felt that someone was watching him from behind. He turned around suddenly, but behind him there was only an old wall.
"Holy crap! There really is a jade pendant!" Compared to Xiao Tangqiu, Tang Mianmian seemed much more optimistic. "It must be some important plot item! The kind that can trigger the plot!"
"Probably..." Xiao Tangqiu paused and smiled helplessly, "Let's look for clues related to this jade pendant tomorrow. It's so late today, let's rest first."
Tang Mianmian immediately yawned and rubbed her eyes: "I'm sleepy too, go to sleep."
There were two beds in the room, just enough for two people each. Tang Mianmian was timid and chose the innermost bed, while Xiao Tangqiu chose the bed near the door.
The two took off their shoes and got into bed. Tang Mianmian watched Xiao Tangqiu carefully arrange his shoes so that the heels were facing the headboard and the toes were facing outwards. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Tangqiu said calmly, "I heard that if you point the toes of your shoes toward the headboard, ghosts will crawl onto your bed in the middle of the night."
Tang Mianmian immediately exclaimed, "Really?!"
He was so scared that he quickly turned his shoes off the foot of the bed, but he heard Xiao Tangqiu say: "...I lied to you."
Seeing Tang Mianmian heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Tangqiu added quietly, "This way, if a ghost crawls onto your bed at night, you'll be able to put on your shoes and run away the first time."
Tang Mianmian: "...This statement is not much better!"
"Don't think too much, just go to sleep," Xiao Tangqiu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. "No matter what, tomorrow is the last day."
Tang Mianmian was silent for a while before asking, "What will happen if we haven't completed the task by the end of tomorrow?"
Xiao Tangqiu closed his eyes and said, "Maybe I'll die... But who knows?"
Tang Mianmian seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated for a long time and finally said nothing.
Xiao Tangqiu was also heavy on his mind. He originally thought he would suffer from insomnia, but after closing his eyes, he soon felt sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, when Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes, he couldn't believe that nothing had happened the previous night, and that he had slept so well... This was unbelievable! Not to mention in such a strange place, even in his own home, he had never had such good sleep. Ever since that incident seven years ago, he had never gotten a full night's sleep. Every day was either insomnia or nightmares.
However, although his sleep quality had improved, he now felt sore in his back and felt uncomfortable all over. The bed board of the wooden bed was very hard, and the pillow was also very hard, which made it difficult to sleep. He didn't know how he slept so well last night. It was like seeing a ghost.
Tang Mianmian also got up. With two big dark circles under his eyes and a look of despair, he said, "It was so noisy last night. I kept hearing a baby crying outside the window. I was so scared that I couldn't fall asleep. The crying finally stopped for a while in the middle of the night, and when I was half asleep, I felt someone stepping on my back..."
"Crying? I didn't hear any!" Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute...what's behind you!"
"Behind me?" Tang Mianmian was startled and quickly turned around to look, but she could not see anything. Seeing him spinning around in circles like a dog chasing its tail, Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"There seems to be something behind your neck. Let me help you take a look. Don't move." Xiao Tangqiu walked forward and lifted up Tang Mianmian's clothes. When he saw clearly what was on Tang Mianmian's back, he immediately exclaimed, "Fuck!"
Tang Mianmian's back was actually covered with black baby footprints, which extended from his neck to his waist, as if a baby had walked around on his back several times.
"Footprints, so many footprints..."
Tang Mianmian immediately got goosebumps. "Oh my god! Did that baby spirit really come and step on my back last night?"
"Help me see if I have it!" Xiao Tangqiu quickly lifted up her clothes to show Tang Mianmian.
