"You mean Huixin can go directly to the temple's ancient well from here? The well is connected to the groundwater."
Ye Qingqing was terrified just thinking about it. So deep underground, pitch black, who knew what monsters might lurk in the underground river!
Wuchen gave her a disdainful look. "Shui is Huixin's most trusted friend. What's there to be afraid of?"
Ye Qingqing was taken aback. It seemed to make sense. She was surrounded by her most trusted friends, so there was really nothing to be afraid of. If Lu Mo were by her side, she wouldn't be afraid even if she went to hell.
What were you saying just now?
Ye Qingqing asked curiously, and the two children whispered to each other in the water for a long time, talking about something they were so excited about.
"I won't tell you." Wuchen snorted arrogantly, but she couldn't help herself and blurted it out, "Huixin said we have two more of our kind, and she'll introduce us to them in two months."
Ye Qingqing immediately became interested and inquired about the two people.
“Wind and Earth types, Huixin is Water type, you are Beast type, and we need to find five more. What’s the connection between them…” Ye Qingqing muttered to herself.
Wuchen shook his head indifferently, "Why bother with so much? I'm going home to sleep."
Exorcising demons is a big deal, and a stupid woman like Ye Qingqing can't help at all. It's no use talking to her. Wuchen despised Ye Qingqing from the bottom of her heart. She yawned again and strode towards the roadside.
Ye Qingqing touched her nose, cursing the brat inwardly. Every time he spoke to her, he had this annoying tone. If she could beat him, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.
When I got home, it was almost dawn. Some families who were going to work early were carrying coal briquette stoves. An ordinary family would burn at most one honeycomb briquette a day, a coal ball about the size of an adult's palm. After lighting the fire in the morning, they would boil a few kettles of water. They would definitely have to boil enough water for the whole day, as they would need hot water for eating, drinking, washing their face, washing their feet, and washing dishes.
One coal briquette can typically boil six kettles of water, which is the highest record. Every part of the coal briquette must be fully burned so as not to waste a single bit. After boiling the water for the day, the last embers of the stove are used to cook a pot of rice porridge with the boiled water and leftover cold rice from the previous night. This is the family's breakfast.
Half a piece of fermented bean curd, a small dish of pickled vegetables or mixed vegetables, and a pot of refreshing rice porridge make a hearty breakfast for the whole family.
The alleyway was filled with the smell of smoke from cooking fires, the aroma of rice as the older women cooked rice porridge, and the bubbling sound of boiling water... all of which created the vibrant atmosphere of the alleyway.
"Go get some sleep, I'll pick you up for school at 7:40," Lu Mo instructed.
Ye Qingqing yawned widely, "You should go back to sleep too. You don't need to pick me up. I'll go to school by myself..."
"I'll sleep after you go to school. I have to go see Fang Yanming now, so go to sleep!" Lu Mo was wide awake and full of energy, not at all like someone who hadn't slept all night.
Ye Qingqing couldn't hold on any longer. She yawned and went upstairs. She needed to take a shower first. She felt uncomfortable without showering because of Julie's stench. She could only fall asleep after showering.
Lu Mo went directly to Fang Yanming's dormitory to find him. Twelve people had died at Fan Li's place, as well as Julie, and all of them were missing. Fang Yanming was now in charge of this case, and he had to give an explanation.
He also wanted to know what was happening on Shoemaker's side.
Lu Mo had an idea and called Fan Li to ask about Si Haoxing.
"Is it the one from the Go team? I gave him 100,000 yuan, and he agreed to help," Fan Li replied.
