Chapter 698 The Young Lady and the Repairman (28)
Of course, there was also Lan Ya’s reply.
[My parents are planning to arrange an engagement for me, Wangsheng, when can you come back? I miss you and the baby in my belly. I’m scared. If my belly gets big and they find out, they will definitely not let me give birth to our baby.]
[Wangsheng, are you okay? I haven’t received your letter for a long time. I’m still trying to delay the date of the engagement, but I really can’t stand it any longer.]
[Please, Wangsheng, please come back soon.]
There were several places where the woman’s reply was smudged with ink. One can imagine that she was crying in sorrow when she wrote the letter. However, she never received another letter from the man.
At the bottom of the letter, there was an old newspaper.
Luo Xuan took out the newspaper and saw a list of the sacrificed warriors in traditional Chinese characters on one page. Among the many names, "Zhang Wangsheng" was among them.
There were still some torn marks on the newspaper, which showed how unbelievable the person who got the newspaper was. Her nails dug into the paper, as if she had torn a crack in her heart.
Shi Li said, "Is this person named Lan Ya the name of your great grandmother?"
Luo Xuan nodded with a complicated expression.
Lan Ya was her great grandmother, but the first male owner of the manor, the man surnamed Luo, who sank to the bottom of the lake, now seemed not to be her great grandfather.
Shi Li said, "No wonder he wants to find his bride." His
newlywed wife has someone else in her heart and is pregnant with someone else's child. The man in the lake died young. How could he be willing to accept this?
Now, even Luo Xuan and Shi Li could guess how the man in the lake would resolve his resentment.
He wanted to find his bride.
A loud crash suddenly sounded, the door was smashed open, and Blue Pigeon was thrown to the ground fiercely. The impact was too great, and it was unknown what internal injuries he had suffered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, Shi Li subconsciously hid Luo Xuan in the closet.
A dark figure appeared at the door. Every time he took a step forward, the black mud left a footprint on the floor.
Only now could everyone see his appearance clearly.
White shirt, black suit pants, a pair of feet stained with mud, bare feet on the ground, he always lowered his head, and his black hair covered his eyes, so his face could not be seen, and only his pale jaw could be seen.
His body was always filled with water vapor, and the water droplets dripped, revealing a cold breath.
The blue pigeon that fell to the ground was strangled by an invisible force and lifted into the air. He was already injured, and now he had no strength to fight back. He was about to die in pain at any time. Shi Li also
felt a force strangling his throat. His feet gradually left the ground, and he had difficulty breathing. The feeling of suffocation made the corners of his lips turn purple.
The man in the lake was still approaching slowly. The closer he got, the stronger the feeling of crampedness in the air became.
The blue pigeon and Shi Li could see that the shadow of death was shrouding them. In the face of death, no one would not feel afraid.
"Stop!"
A voice came suddenly, and the man in the lake stopped.
After a moment, he changed direction and faced a girl standing over there.
"Aren't you looking for a bride? Come on, I'll be your bride!" Luo Xuan casually pulled the veil hanging on the wall and draped it over her head. Her voice was trembling, but her body was straight. "Let my mother go, let them go!"
The screams from the lake pierced through the rainy night and echoed around the cabin.
Bai Yao sat up straight and looked out the window curiously, "He Mian, I heard a woman screaming, what happened over there?"
"Maybe someone saw a cockroach."
She looked at him suspiciously, "Would someone be so scared after seeing a cockroach?"
He Mian's face was calm, "Last time you saw a cockroach, it screamed also very badly."
At that time, Bai Yao insisted on following him and watching him work. When he was cleaning up a pile of debris, a cockroach ran out from the dark and damp garbage pile. Bai Yao was so scared that he jumped up immediately and hung on his body arrogantly for a long time without daring to put his feet to the ground.
He Mian held her calmly and was about to step on the cockroach to death, but Bai Yao hugged his neck tightly, "Don't step on it! If
you step on it, you will be dirty!" She felt disgusted just thinking about the cockroach bursting with juice, and she would never allow her boyfriend to step on it. If his feet were dirty, then he would be a mess!
He Mian really found it hard to understand. Every time he worked, he was busy and covered in dust and sweat, but she would not mind getting dirty and insisted on getting on him. But now she couldn't accept him stepping on a cockroach to death.
The young lady's fussiness was so weird.
In the end, she had no choice but to pick up a stick and slap the cockroach to death.
Bai Yao rubbed his face like a spoiled child, "I'm not afraid of cockroaches normally, but my boyfriend is around, so I become very timid, because I know my boyfriend will protect me!" He
Mian tried to keep a straight face but failed, his eyebrows slightly curved, he leaned down, put his forehead against hers, and said "hmm" softly, "I will protect you."
Bai Yao kissed him and took him out to watch the excitement.
The rain didn't stop, He Mian held Bai Yao's hand and kept her by his side, the umbrella in his hand always shrouded her direction.
Bai Yao was quite conscious, sticking to him and not leaving him for too long.
He Mian used to hate rainy days the most, but now he didn't hate this sticky rainy day.
Slowly, Bai Yao saw two figures standing by the lake.
Luo Xiao covered his mouth and coughed, and Luo Mianmian fell to the ground, as if she was greatly frightened.
Bai Yao asked curiously: "Mr. Luo, Miss Luo, what happened to you?"
Hearing the voice, Luo Xiao raised his face in surprise, and saw Bai Yao and He Mian appear, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. It seemed that in his opinion, Bai Yao should have been in trouble a long time ago, and He Mian should not appear in the manor.
Luo Mianmian slowly came back to her senses from her trance, and she was also surprised when she saw Bai Yao.
When the power went out in the manor and Bai Yao disappeared, everyone thought that something had happened to Bai Yao. But now seeing her neatly dressed and free of spray, completely different from the ferocious people around her, it was really unbelievable that she was standing here.
Bai Yao blinked and kindly reminded, "Miss Luo, the ground is full of water, don't you want to get up?"
Luo Mianmian was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up, and said nervously: "I, I... I just saw a body in the water!"
He Mian slowly held Bai Yao's hand, interlocking their fingers tightly.
Bai Yao looked at the empty water surface, "No."
