Her hair was somewhat disheveled, and one of her exposed hands appeared exceptionally pale, clutching something tightly in it.
There were still a few people queuing up to offer incense inside the house.
I took the opportunity of offering incense to walk over and take a closer look, and I was immediately stunned.
What Lingmei was holding in her hand was actually a white paper figure.
My heart skipped a beat. Could Lingmei have been killed by Old Mrs. Sun?
Because Lingmei had no children and no one to help with her funeral arrangements, many people volunteered to stay and help with Lingmei's funeral.
Yunwei was naturally one of those who stayed on voluntarily.
I made an excuse that it was time for Seventh Master to give me my medicine and left Lingmei's house.
However, I didn't go to Yunwei's house right away, but instead went to Grandma Sun's house.
I have a feeling that the little girl's absence last night, and Lingmei's death, are inextricably linked to her.
Especially the Lingmei plum.
Did she really fall off the cliff by accident?
Why would someone be clutching a paper figure when they die?
I had only taken a few steps when I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
Looking back, I realized it was Xiaomi.
"Why are you here?" I frowned.
Instead of answering my question, Xiaomi suddenly asked, "Chen Yan, do you want to go to Grandma Sun's house?"
I looked at her in surprise and asked her how she knew.
“Not only do I know, I also know that a child comes to see you every night! When I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I hear someone talking to you in your room, it’s a child’s voice.”
"And you were uneasy ever since you saw that old lady clutching that paper figure in her hand."
Since she said so, I didn't deny it and said that I wanted to go in and take a look.
Xiaomi rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, I'll keep watch for you while you go in and take a look?"
Having Xiaomi's help is the best thing ever.
However, I'm a little confused. Why is this girl so enthusiastic about this?
"I have my reasons, don't worry about them. Anyway, I won't hurt you!" Xiaomi looked at me seriously.
For a moment, I fell silent.
Xiaomi doesn't seem as simple as I imagined.
When I arrived at Grandma Sun's house, I looked around and saw that no one was there, so I quickly climbed over the wall.
There were no paper figures in the courtyard either; I don't know where they all went.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go inside! It'll be troublesome if someone sees you," Xiaomi urged from below.
I didn't dare to delay and immediately went into the yard.
