Lu Lian suddenly stopped smiling, her face turning into one that looked like she was about to cry.
This sudden change caught Little Yuzu off guard.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Little Yuzu asked in a panic.
Yan Qiao immediately understood why she was crying.
Seeing the fresh and adorable little pomelo, she probably thought of her deceased daughter.
Yan Qiao gently patted Lü Lian's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, Lian. I know you're very sad right now and you've hit a low point in your life."
But these difficulties will pass, and you must live your life well from now on.
“It’s nothing,” Lü Lian shook her head, looking at Xiao Youzi with tears in her eyes, “It’s just that seeing her reminded me of my little Xin’er…”
Her head was bowed, and the disappointment and sadness in her eyes were genuine.
After comforting her for a while, Yan Qiao finally took out paper and pen and got to the point: "Xiao Lian, there are some things I need to ask you..."
Little Yuzu stood up and asked with a smile, "Auntie, can I look around?"
“Of course.” Lü Lian nodded.
She was quickly drawn to Yan Qiao's words, and the two started chatting.
Little Yuzu looked around her living room.
There were some small toys under the TV cabinet, and a 10-centimeter-tall Barbie doll.
After glancing around, Xiaoyouzi walked up to the luxurious wine cabinet.
Huh?
Little Yuzu's gaze fell on the wooden floor in front of the wine cabinet.
There is a dent there.
It looked like something had fallen to the ground and hit the ground.
If nothing unexpected happens, a bottle of wine will be smashed on the ground.
As they walked into the restaurant, Xiaoyouzi just looked around.
Her gaze was quickly drawn to a corner.
There was a lipstick lying there.
It doesn't look like it's been there long; there's only a thin layer of dust particles. It must have been there for several days.
However, since this was someone else's home, Xiaoyouzi didn't touch their things without permission.
Xiao Youzi glanced at the lipstick, then looked at Lü Lian over there before looking away.
Lü Lian seemed to sense something.
She looked in Xiaoyouzi's direction, but saw nothing unusual.
"What's wrong?" Yan Qiao followed her gaze.
Lü Lian immediately shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
After a few words, Lü Lian changed the subject and continued chatting with Yan Qiao.
Lu Lian's house is not small; it has two or three floors and is a small villa. There is also a tea room on the roof.
Instead of going upstairs, Xiaoyouzi walked to the back.
"Squeak."
Pushing open the back door, Xiaoyouzi walked out.
There's another courtyard outside the back door, with a small gate and a latch, which is also locked now.
Little Yuzu stared at the location of the lock for a moment, then walked over.
When they reached the fence, Xiaoyouzi's eyes fell on a stone block.
The stone block looked normal, but there was a yellowish stain on its underside.
Little Yuzi walked over, moved the stone block aside, and pulled out a talisman from underneath.
The talisman paper had complex patterns, but Xiaoyouzi recognized it at a glance.
This is a rare find of the Substitute Life Curse.
It can only serve the purpose of killing.
In the past, people who wanted sons would often use this curse to kill others.
To exchange a girl's life for a boy's.
After the girl died, the talisman was burned to ashes and made into soup for her mother to drink, so that her next child would definitely be a son.
Of course, these are all unfounded legends.
The so-called efficacy is nothing more than good luck.
"None of them are complete; they're stained with blood," Little Yuzu muttered to herself, folding the talismans and putting them away carefully...
