His sudden change in attitude made people around him realize that there must be something shameful behind the painting.
There are many people in the village who like to watch the fun, and Xu Wei is one of those people who likes to watch the fun and no matter how much trouble he takes.
More importantly, he and Xu Tianchuan's family were extremely at odds. He always felt that Xu Tianchuan's family was so rich and still lived in the village just to show off to them.
Now that he had to watch their jokes, he naturally had to do his part to make the fire burn brighter.
Thinking of this, he pushed his son's back and gestured in the direction of the painting with his eyes.
The half-grown child instantly understood his father's instructions and quickly passed through the dead bodies.
He tore the painting down in front of the surprised eyes of Xu Tianchuan and his wife.
Seeing what was behind the painting, he shouted out loudly: "Dad, there is a mirror hanging behind the painting."
Xu Wei noticed the surrounding gazes and smiled awkwardly: "The child was just talking nonsense. How could I let him touch other people's things? He was just being naughty. I will teach him a lesson when I get home."
The villagers "believed" his words and turned their eyes to Xu Tianchuan, wanting to see how they would argue.
Looking at the mirror that revealed his true face, Xu Tianchuan's eyes were gloomy, and he had cursed the child for his quick hands hundreds of times in his heart.
But now is not the time for him to educate other people's children, he has to find a reason to cover up the matter of the mirror.
Xu Tianchuan gave his wife a look, and the two of them held the hands of Xu Yinuo's grandparents respectively.
"Brother Xu, you have to believe me, I really didn't know there was a mirror hanging behind the painting. It must have been put there by my ignorant child. Don't worry, I will take it down in a moment."
"Sister-in-law, I didn't know the truth just now, so I spoke to you so harshly. Please don't take it to heart."
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Xu Yinuo walked to the mirror and said, "Uncle, I saw that the nails behind the mirror were all rusted. I can tell at a glance that it wasn't caused in a short time.
And this mirror is made of copper. I don't believe that such a historically significant mirror would be lost by a child and you wouldn't go looking for it."
Amidst the embarrassed expressions of the two, she squatted on the ground, rubbed her hands on the ground a few times, and then raised her hands: "Aunt, if I'm not mistaken, there are residual incense ashes on the ground.
Please don’t tell me that this painting is of your ancestor and that you often burn incense to him in the yard.”
Her relentless pressure made Xu Tianchuan's mood plummet, but facing so many villagers, he could only continue to lie.
“That incense was left behind when we were worshipping the gods in the yard a few days ago. As for the mirror, we really don’t know where it is.
If you feel uncomfortable, just move the door to the back. Then we can see if anything happens to our family, and that will prove whether I am lying or not."
After saying that, he smashed the mirror on the mirror with a hammer: “Brother Xu, you and sister-in-law can rest assured now.”
Seeing that they had given in, Grandpa Xu thought that they were all from the same village and would see each other sooner or later, so he stopped pestering them: "Since you have no objection, go home. The gate installer will be here soon, so as not to delay their work."
After recalling the past, Xu Yinuo trembled all over: "Could it be that the mirror is targeting our family? Then my grandparents also died because of the influence of the mirror."
Once this thought came to her mind, it wouldn't go away, and she couldn't help but think of what happened at home.
Since she was born, the family's financial luck has been particularly bad. Her father has done business with others several times, but no matter how much money others made, he was always in a loss.
After so much trouble, all the family wealth saved by grandpa was gone, and my father felt that he was not cut out for business, so he and my mother went to work in other places.
Especially after the mirror was broken, in just two years, she experienced the pain of the death of her grandparents.
Looking back carefully, their deaths were not normal.
Her grandfather died in a car accident during the busy farming season. She and her grandmother were in the fields harvesting grain while her grandfather went to the market alone to sell it.
After a while, the villagers came running over and said that grandpa had driven the car into the river.
There happened to be a house where the accident happened, so she and her father went to the house to check the surveillance footage.
From the surveillance video, the grandfather saw a large truck coming from the opposite direction, so he drove to the side to make way for it.
Maybe the accelerator was turned too hard, and the car ran into the river like a wild horse.
Since the surveillance camera only captured this one scene, they subconsciously thought that the accident was caused by the grandfather panicking when he saw the car.
But she forgot that her grandfather had been a driving instructor for several years, so how could he make such a low-level mistake.
The gas explosion at home now seems full of doubts.
The weather during the summer vacation was very hot, and the whole kitchen was like a big steamer. In order to avoid the heat when cooking, my grandma never closed the window.
She had heard from her teacher that a very important prerequisite for a gas explosion is that it occurs in a confined space.
Only in this way can the leaked gas accumulate to an explosive level.
It seems that the kitchen with the windows wide open does not have the conditions to explode at all.
She couldn't help but pinch her palm with her fingernails: "How come I didn't notice such an obvious loophole?"
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she thought of the familiar feeling she had with the old woman last night: "Master, was it my grandmother who left with the men in black in my place last night?
That must be right, right? The man in black must have felt that her aura was very similar to mine, so he chose to take her away."
Su Yan looked at her expectant eyes and did not hide anything for the old woman: "You guessed right, it was your grandma who showed up yesterday. She was afraid that you would see her sad, so she changed into someone else's appearance."
Xu Yinuo, who knew the truth, cried and laughed: "I said grandma would come to see me, it turns out she has always been by my side."
[Wow, what kind of touching grandparent-grandchild relationship is this? She makes me miss my grandma. I won't say anymore. I'll go back to see her this week.]
[I can almost confirm that the mirror is definitely not a good thing, and this neighbor is not a good person either.]
[They must have used more vicious means, and they knew that the broken mirror would not affect the magic circle, so they destroyed the mirror themselves to prove their innocence.]
[The most important thing now is to find the person who cast the spell on the mirror, otherwise other people in the little girl's family will be harmed.]
After crying for a while, Xu Yinuo also thought of the important matter: "Master, tell me, was that mirror hung there on purpose?"
Su Yan nodded: "The mirror was hung there intentionally, but it is not the culprit of this incident, it is just a decoy.
The purpose is to dispel suspicion when discovered, and the things that really affect your family are still in your house."
