Chapter 127 A Family of Three
After waiting for the preparations to be completed, Qi Gu specifically reminded Niu An to tell her son and daughter-in-law not to go home until they received notice.
Niu An naturally did as he was told. His son and daughter-in-law were normal people too and would not go home to commit suicide under such circumstances.
Then, she looked at Qi Gu and asked, "In my eyes, you are still the same. So what do Xiaobao see in you? You won't be exposed in front of that thing, right?"
Qi Gu said: "I changed the spell a little bit. This sleight of hand also works on humans. You see us the same because you already know who we are."
The three of them walked towards Niu An's house together. After entering the apartment building, Qi Gu grabbed Lin Hanzhi's wrist through the long-sleeved fabric, patted it soothingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, you will just follow what Teacher Niu said about the way her son and daughter-in-law get along with each other."
Lin Hanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at his sleeves, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "With you here, I'm not so scared anymore."
Niu An looked at the two young men chattering and patting each other, and his mind instantly thought of Qi Gu in elementary school. Back then, the child was not as lively as he is now. He was very quiet and indifferent beyond his age, so he never made any friends. Now that he sees that he is no longer alone, he also feels comforted.
It’s just… she doesn’t quite understand why friends nowadays are so arm in arm and touching each other.
It still depends on young people to be open-minded.
But it's good to be open about this. After all, her son and daughter-in-law have a very close relationship. It's fine when they are at work, but at home they basically stick together all the time, like conjoined twins.
Niu An said: "Just keep it like this."
Qi Gu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Teacher Niu thought that the two of them had already entered the state of a loving couple, but in fact... he was just acting completely in his true colors.
Well...there are similarities between friendship and love. They are both emotions, so it is normal to be mistaken for each other.
Niu An opened the door with his key and walked in with the vegetables.
The curtains in the living room were still tightly closed, and the room was pitch black. The ghost husband was sitting in the dark. He turned around when he heard the noise and said, "You're all back."
Qi Gu didn't indulge him and immediately turned on the light in the living room.
Bright lights poured down, illuminating everything. At this time, the three of them saw that the ghost husband was holding Xiaobao in his arms. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the sharp teeth in his mouth were very close to Xiaobao's throat, as if he was going to bite it at the next moment, but Xiaobao was completely unaware of this.
Qi Gu's forehead twitched, and then he followed his character and took the child from the thing's hand, "Good boy, daddy will hold you~"
This is what Teacher Niu’s son must do when he returns home.
Lin Hanzhi also consciously moved over, and the two of them stood on the balcony holding the child to see how he was doing today, chatting and laughing, just like a family of three.
In the eyes of the ghost husband, this was no different from usual, so it just glanced at the three people with its greedy eyes and then became the same as usual.
Niu An took the dishes into the kitchen, and it even followed her in, just like Niu An's husband would have done when he was alive, helping his wife in the kitchen.
During the day, it would also do some cleaning and wiping the table, and even its habits of placing cleaned items and folding clothes were exactly the same as before.
The reason why Niu An could recognize these habits was that she had never forgotten them even after so many years.
But that thing was a ghost, but it knew all of this clearly, which was really creepy.
If Niu An hadn't woken up that night because she had to pee urgently, she probably wouldn't have noticed the problem yet, given her ghost husband's attitude.
Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi seemed to be very close as they coaxed the child on the balcony, but in fact Qi Gu had never held a child before, and his movements were very awkward, like he was pinching a piglet, causing the child in his arms to struggle constantly. Qi Gu had no choice but to throw the child to Lin Hanzhi.
Lin Hanzhi had held a child before. He used to hold his little cousin in his arms. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the child in the correct posture and patted him gently on the back.
Xiaobao felt much better and said, "Mom, how long will it take for me to recover? I want to go out and play."
Lin Hanzhi smiled gently, very motherly: "When you recover from your illness, you should go to school. If you want to play, you have to wait until the weekend."
Qi Gu: “…”
When Xiaobao suddenly heard such cruel words, he almost burst into tears. He felt that his mother seemed a little mean today.
But as a child, he didn’t think anything was wrong. He just kept saying, “I’d better be sick for a few more days” and didn’t want to go to school.
In the kitchen.
Niu An poured the cow's blood mixed with minced beef into the basin as Qi Gu had instructed. For a moment, the particularly strong smell of blood surged out and filled the entire kitchen.
Niu An said, "Old man, cut some celery and mix it with the beef. Let's make a celery and beef pie."
The ghost husband stared at the pot of red flesh in front of him. His eyes, which were full of black with only a little white, gradually became bloodshot. He was like a wild wolf that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw a pot of meat. His desire to eat could not be concealed at all.
After Niu An said this, he turned and walked out of the kitchen to the balcony: "I'll pick some green onions."
Hearing Niu An's words, the ghost husband responded without turning his head, his eyes staring straight at the pot of raw meat stuffing mixed with blood.
As soon as Niu An left, it couldn't wait to carry the meat filling to the visual blind spot from the outside, reached into the meat filling, grabbed a handful and stuffed it greedily into its mouth, as if it was eating the most delicious delicacy in the world, with a look of enjoyment.
Not long after, Niu An returned to the kitchen with the green onions and saw her husband washing celery obediently. Even his habit of picking only the large leaves and keeping the small leaves was exactly the same as before.
Even when it heard Niu An coming back, it said, "This shallot is not as good as before. It looks really petty."
After saying that, it lowered its head and continued to process the celery.
After the normal greetings, under the dim light, when Niu An turned around to cut green onions, it raised its head and grinned at Niu An's neck, with hideous strands of red meat hanging between its teeth.
It seems like I want to bite it at any time.
