Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Demon Centipede (II)

Liu Yu's eyes met Fang Hui's, and she was obviously guilty, so she quickly stood up and left the living room.

"Xiaoyu?" Liu Ting didn't know what was wrong with her sister. She curled her lips at the two of them, "I'm sorry, my sister has always been like this. She is almost 30 years old, but she is still not used to getting along with strangers."

"Excuse me, Miss Liu, how is your relationship with your ex-husband?" Ning Helan picked up the teacup and put it down again.

After hearing this question, Liu Ting was dazed for a moment. She pinned the hair hanging down from her temples behind her head: "He and I were once very much in love."

Liu Ting and her ex-husband were junior high school classmates. From campus to wedding dress, they walked together for ten years.

After getting married, the two were inseparable and had a great relationship.

But that day, when Liu Ting

got off the night shift, she asked her ex-husband to pick him up. "He had just come down from his friend's drinking party that day, and it rained a little at night. There was a road being built in front of my company, and the workers had just dug a big pit..." When Liu Ting said this, her eyes were full of sadness. She choked up, covered her face and lowered her head.

Ning Helan and Fang Hui were silent. Soon, Liu Ting raised her head: "Five years after he left, I met my husband. Fortunately, he rekindled my hope for life." Fang Hui listened

to these words, and perhaps because he had just talked to his father in his dream, he also felt a little touched.

Ning Helan's arm was aching, and he covered the wound calmly: "Excuse me, is your sister married?"

Liu Ting obviously didn't expect Ning Helan to change the subject so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before saying: "No, she has always been single."

Liu Ting told them that although Liu Yu and she are twins, their personalities are very different.

Sister Liu Ting is sunny and cheerful, while sister Liu Yu is introverted and sensitive.

The two have been in the same class since childhood and have been in college.

The sister has always been the center of attention, while the sister has become the inconspicuous one.

Fang Hui snorted lightly: "The sister must be jealous of the sister."

Liu Ting glanced at Fang Hui: "No, although Xiaoyu is quiet, we sisters have a very good relationship and we have always been together."

Fang Hui was slapped in the face and shut up in amusement.

"Has your sister always lived with you?" Ning Helan asked again.

Liu Ting nodded. She didn't know why Ning Helan kept asking about Liu Yu: "Is there something wrong?"

"No." Ning Helan smiled, "Do you mind if I talk to your sister?" Liu

Ting said quickly, "No, no, Xiaoyu... Oh, she went to the kitchen."

Ning Helan stood up and walked to the kitchen door. She saw Liu Yu holding a knife in her hand, staring at the meat on the chopping board in a daze.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel Ning Helan's gaze. She didn't turn around, but picked up the knife and started cutting the meat.

"Hello, Miss Liu Yu, can I talk to you?" Ning Helan said standing at the kitchen door.

The action of cutting meat slowed down, and Liu Yu hummed softly.

Ning Helan leaned against the door: "Excuse me, what is the relationship between your sister and your brother-in-law?"

"... Which brother-in-law?" Liu Yu paused before asking.

"Tell me about both of them."

Liu Yu put down the knife at this time. She walked to the kitchen door and looked out, but did not see Liu Ting.

"Your sister went to the bathroom." Ning Helan noticed her expression.

Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously curled inward: "Can you not tell my sister what I told you?"

Ning Helan did not comment: "Is there anything that she can't know?"

Liu Yu motioned Ning Helan to come in, and then closed the kitchen door.

She washed her hands and then looked back at Ning Helan: "Actually, my sister and brother-in-law don't have a good relationship."

"Which one?"

"Both."

Liu Yu hesitated, but continued: "My last brother-in-law died in a car accident. You should have heard what my sister said just now."

Ning Helan nodded, and Liu Yu frowned: "Actually, that day, it was because my sister and brother-in-law quarreled, and my brother-in-law drove in anger, which led to the accident."

In Liu Yu's words, Liu Ting and her ex simply hated each other.

The two were indeed junior high school classmates, but Liu Ting's desire for control was too strong, so the ex wanted to go to college and stay away from Liu Ting, but Liu Ting still chased after him.

"In the eyes of outsiders, my sister and her husband are a perfect match, but only I know how many quarrels they have had in private, and many times they even fought," Liu Yu shook her head, "Their relationship has long been broken."

"If that's the case, why did they get married?" Ning Helan didn't understand.

"My sister forced him by saying she was pregnant..." Liu Yu said, "After getting married, I found out that my sister was not pregnant."

Ning Helan raised her hands: "What about my current boyfriend?"

"My current boyfriend...he doesn't like my sister either, he just wants her money." Liu Yu said.

Ning Helan asked, "When did your sister start hearing her ex-husband talking in her ear?"

Liu Yu seemed a little nervous when Ning Helan asked this question. She held her apron tightly, lowered her head, and her eyes wandered on the ground. Fang

Hui was quite bored in the living room. He could not do anything. From here, he saw Ning Helan still talking to Liu Yu in the kitchen.

He snorted, "This Ning Helan, just now he was concerned about whether my sister was married and had a partner. Now he is hiding in the kitchen and whispering with me. Is he attracted to me?"

After a long while, Ning Helan came out of the kitchen. When she looked up, she saw Fang Hui with his hands folded, with a playful look on his face.

Ning Helan: "......?"

Liu Ting came out of the bathroom and was surprised to learn that the two were leaving: "This..."

They left without resolving anything?

"Miss Liu, let's go back and prepare something. We'll come back in the evening." Ning Helan said.

"Is there really something dirty?" Liu Ting asked hurriedly.

Ning Helan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Miss Liu, everything has an explanation."

On the way home, Ning Helan seemed to be thinking about something. Fang Hui couldn't hold back his thoughts and teased, "Hey, Taoist Ning, are you attracted to my little sister?"

"...Ah?"

"As soon as I got there, you kept asking about my marital status and even hid in the kitchen to chat for so long." Fang Hui looked gossipy, "Tell me, do you like me because I'm pretty?"

Ning Helan frowned, "How old are you?"

Fang Hui didn't understand, "20."

Ning Helan had a subtle expression and muttered to herself, "You're actually one year older..."

"What did you say?"

"I said you're one year older than me."

"You are only 19, so I can be your brother... Oh no! Is this the main point? Hey! Ning Helan, listen to me!" Fang Hui was speechless. Why was Ning Helan's focus so strange?

When the two returned home, Ning Guohua had already arrived. He was sweeping the balcony, and Ji Ge was napping in a grass nest beside him.

"Grandpa, you are not feeling well, go and take a rest, I will do it." Ning Helan wanted to roll up his sleeves, but suddenly thought of the injury on his arm, so he pulled down his sleeves to get the broom.

"Hey, don't fight with me. I've slept in the hospital for a few days. My whole body is in pain. If I don't move, my bones will become stiff." Ning Guohua said, blocking Ning Helan with his back on the balcony to prevent him from coming over.

Ning Helan tried several times but couldn't get through, so he had to give up: "Okay, okay, I won't fight with you."

Ning Guohua took out a package of things and opened the bag. A strange smell came out, and Ning Helan wrinkled his nose: "What is this..."

"Insect powder, give it to your chicken brother to supplement calcium." Ning Guohua poured the powder into the food box, "There are centipedes, mealworms, wasps, etc." "

Where did you get it from..." Ning Helan thought the smell was really bad, and it seemed like he had smelled it somewhere before.

"I asked Old Man Li to bring it to his hometown. There are a lot of these things in his hometown..."

Suddenly, Ning Helan's wound hurt violently, and he turned around and ran into the bathroom in a hurry.

"Xiao Lan, you guys..." Ning Guohua turned around, Ning Helan was gone, he turned to look at Fang Hui who was sitting on the sofa, "Fang Hui, what did you guys think of Miss Liu's house?"

Fang Hui shook his head: "I didn't see anything."

"No one like you?"

"..." Fang Hui closed his eyes, "No, it seems like a normal family."

If the lavender aura around Liu Yu was also considered normal, Fang Hui didn't know what it was, so he didn't say anything.

"Fang Hui, Xiao Lan can't see these, so I let you go and help. If you can solve any supernatural things, won't you get more merits?"

Fang Hui raised his wrist, looked at the number "10" on it, and touched it: "But Grandpa Ning, your precious grandson can't see ghosts, so even if I see it, he can't solve it. I think you still have to be there."

After saying this, he didn't hear Ning Guohua's response. Fang Hui raised his eyes and saw Ning Guohua standing on the balcony with a broom in his hand, looking into the distance, as if in a trance.

"...These two have the same problem of not listening to others. They are worthy of being grandfather and grandson." Fang Hui muttered dissatisfiedly.

After a long time, Ning Guohua put down the broom and walked in. He clapped his hands and sat on the sofa: "What did you find out?"

"Liu Ting said that she had a very good relationship with her ex-husband. She couldn't get over it for five years after her ex-husband died. Fortunately, she met her current boyfriend. But since she married her current boyfriend, she has dreamed of her ex-husband every night." Fang Hui crossed his legs and sat lazily on the sofa. "But what I find strange is that her sister Liu Yu has been living with her. I heard from Liu Ting that her sister neither falls in love nor gets married."

Ning Guohua listened carefully: "Is there anything abnormal about her sister?"

"...She's just a little afraid of strangers. But she's not afraid of Ning Helan. The two of them even hid in the kitchen and talked for a long time." Fang Hui said.

In the bathroom, Ning Helan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. His eyes were dim and his thick eyelashes were trembling slightly. There

was water running from the faucet in front of him, and a mixture of red and green liquids was flowing out of the drain.

The wound on his arm showed no signs of healing, but was getting more and more painful.

Ning Helan closed his eyes and reached out to turn off the faucet. He tore off the Band-

Aid on his arm. The wound below was originally just a long and thin strip, but now it had obviously become wider, and the skin and flesh at the wound were red and swollen, soaking in dark green liquid.

He dipped a little of the liquid with his fingertips and looked at it close to his eyes. It really looked like pus.

With the corner of his eye, he saw the alcohol beside him, gritted his teeth, twisted the cap off the bottle and poured it on the wound.

The stimulation of the alcohol and the pain of the wound itself made Ning Helan's face pale, and his handsome features twitched uncontrollably: "Hiss..."

After washing away the pus in the wound, his arm also felt painful and numb.

Taking another look, it was much better after washing it clean, and Ning Helan's tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.

He raised his chin, a bead of sweat slid across his beautiful profile, and then he let out a long breath.
