Chapter 702 The Young Lady and the Repairman (32)
His mother’s mood was always changeable. She could be gentle to her child, but could be violent to her child the next second. Whenever this happened, He Mian would look towards the corner with a look of help, hoping that his father would come out to help him.
But he soon realized that his father would just stand there and would never come to help him.
When he was a little older, He Mian realized that his father had died a long time ago.
Ever since he was on the verge of life and death at the age of six, he could see some strange things. He didn’t understand whether his father had become a ghost, or whether the father who now existed in that moldy corner of the wall was just an illusion in his heart.
He Mian had no friends and was alone on the way to and from school.
The road he feared the most was the one that passed through Minghu Manor.
When he walked outside the manor, he could often see a figure in the manor looking at him.
It was a figure that was drenched in sweat.
He wore a white T-shirt and black pants, and was tall and slender. This mysterious figure seemed to be shrouded in mist and rain at all times, with water dripping onto the ground bit by bit.
He Mian was far away and did not have the courage to look directly at what the figure looked like. Every time he passed Minghu Manor, he would lower his head and walk very quickly.
Who was that person?
Why was he staring at him?
This was a question that He Mian had been thinking about since he was six years old, but he did not find the answer to the question until he was eighteen years old.
The generous salary was an irresistible temptation for him who needed to save money to leave Minghu Town, so he accepted the employment of the new owner of Minghu Manor and stepped into this ominous place in the legend for the first time.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai are both good people. They are both educated people and have money. They will not be overly harsh or calculating on the workers. As long as he does his job well and leaves a good impression on them, he may continue to work for them and earn money in the future.
On that day when the sun was dazzling, the girl in the green floral dress appeared.
He Mian was distracted for a moment.
It was because the hazy figure that he would definitely see on the way to and from school since his childhood was following her.
If it is a ghost, it will definitely harm people.
Wherever Bai Yao was, the ghost would appear most of the time, and in thunderstorms, the ghost would appear more frequently.
He Mian didn't understand why Bai Yao was targeted by the ghost, but he never thought of meddling in other people's business. This was his rule of survival. If he didn't meddle in other people's business, he wouldn't have endless troubles.
But there was nothing absolute in this world.
Bai Yao was standing by the dry well. When the ghost slowly approached her, He Mian walked over uncontrollably and pulled Bai Yao back.
At that time, he just told himself that if the eldest lady of the Bai family died in front of him, it would bring him more trouble, so he had to pull Bai Yao back.
Later, Bai Yao "disappeared".
The dripping figure standing on the second floor pointed in a direction, which was the mountain.
He Mian threw down his things and immediately ran in that direction.
It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that this ghost that had existed since his childhood was now following Bai Yao. Wasn’t it to protect her instead of to harm her? But
he couldn’t find the answer, because the ghost appeared less and less often.
He Mian never thought that his initial “indifference” to Bai Yao would lead to him running to the manor in the middle of the night to accompany her just because he was worried about her when it rained. What
he never thought was that he, who was like a crawler in a garbage dump, would be lucky enough to get such pure love.
Every day that He Mian and Bai Yao spent together seemed stolen.
He knew that he could not stand the light, and perhaps he would bring danger to Bai Yao.
That night, he found his mother beside Ming Lake.
His mother knelt on the shore, cut her wrists, and blood dripped into the lake. She screamed crazily: "Fairy of the Lake, I have heard your story. Aren't you looking for a bride? Wake up! Take the woman named Bai Yao in the manor away and make her your bride, so that no one can snatch He Mian from me! No one can snatch my son away!"
She laughed loudly, "No one can snatch the people around me away!"
The He family has lived nearby since the first day the manor was built, and naturally they know the most about some supernatural events in the manor.
She didn't care whether these stories were true or not, as long as she could make the woman who seduced her son disappear from the world, she was willing to try.
As expected, a figure slowly emerged in the center of the lake.
Unfortunately, before she could see the day when Bai Yao disappeared, the out-of-control person pressed her head into the water with one hand.
He worked hard for a long time to save enough money.
He mustered up the courage for a long time before he dared to take a step forward and admit his love for the girl.
He lived in fear, and it was the girl who gave him hope to move forward. He could leave this town and go to a better city to find a place where she was. She said she would wait for him. They both had courage and they would definitely be happy.
He had such beautiful expectations, how could he allow the expectations to be shattered one day!
The young man lost his mind and went crazy. He used his other hand to press the woman who brought him into the world but had been causing him pain into the water.
He came back to his senses when the woman in the water stopped moving.
The man in the lake was moving forward step by step, heading towards the manor.
He accepted the call of the blood and was going to find the woman named Bai Yao.
The moment the man in the lake stepped on the land, his figure dispersed like mist.
He Mian shouted: "Yaoyao!"
A wet figure blocked his way and stopped him from running towards the manor.
He Mian was just an ordinary person. Even if he ran back to the manor now, he could not do anything, let alone save his beloved girl.
The street lights flickered a few times in the rainy night. In the dim light, a thin figure and a vague face were visible.
Short black hair, wheat-colored skin, cloudy eyes, filled with death and coldness.
They have exactly the same face.
The ghost that has appeared in his memory since he was six years old is himself.
The existence of the man in the lake makes the manor a very strange place. People who have "embraced" death can occasionally see their future selves.
The black hair was still dripping with water. The lifeless boy stretched out his hand and pointed at the lake surface that was broken by raindrops.
He Mian turned around and looked at the lake.
