Shi Rong came to her senses and got up from the ground. She walked to Shi Li and accused him with red eyes: "Brother, she wants to kill me! You saw it, she wants to kill me!!"
Shi Li's eyes were cold, like the cold frost in winter. He said: "You deserve it."
Shi Rong was stunned.
Since the last time Shi Rong mistakenly thought that Shi Li wanted to kill her and locked him out, the relationship between the siblings has obviously changed. Shi Li has become distant from her.
Shi Li is usually not very enthusiastic, taciturn, and cold to everyone, but when she is wronged, he will still stand in front of her, and when grandma embarrasses her, he will speak for her, but now... everything has changed.
Not to mention that there is something, even if there is nothing, Shi Li is unwilling to talk to her again, and treats her as coldly as a stranger.
Shi Rong's nose trembled, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. She suppressed her grief and choked, "Brother, she has a knife, why don't you stand by me? Do you want her to kill me?!"
Shi Li threw the cold drink he had just taken out of the refrigerator into Shi Mu's arms, sat down on the sofa, and looked at her with displeasure, leaving only four cold words: "The first to tease is a loser."
Shi Rong's face turned pale.
"Xiao Li, what are you talking about?" Shi's mother happened to hear this sentence from outside, frowned, and put her handbag on the table. It was also quite strange. Since he was injured last time, Shi Li's temperament has changed subtly. He became just as stubborn as Shi Mu, which made her feel annoyed. Now she heard her well-behaved and elegant son swearing, which made her even more dissatisfied.
Just as she was thinking this, Shi's mother noticed Shi Mu on the sofa. She didn't recognize her daughter at first glance. She looked around and felt that she was familiar. When she met those peach blossom eyes, her face changed again and again.
Sensing Shi's mother's fluctuating emotions, Shi Mu raised the corners of his lips, then closed his eyes slightly and continued to read the novel.
Shi Rong ran to Shi's mother as if she wanted to find someone to back her up, crying, "Mom, Shi Mu wants to harm me, she wants to kill me with a knife!"
She pointed, and the fruit knife lying on the floor reflected a slightly cold light.
Shi's mother's face darkened, and she walked straight to Shi Mu, looking down at him, and said arrogantly, "Get out."
Shi Mu leaned against the soft sofa, his eyes lazy, "Ask your son, am I going to kill your daughter, or is your daughter going to kill me, ask quickly."
Hearing this, Shi Rong became nervous.
Shi Li's peach blossom eyes, which were exactly the same as Shi Mu's, were shining charmingly, and he quickly responded, "Shi Rong was the one who provoked it first, and Shi Mu just wanted to scare her."
"Mom, it's not..."
Shi Li's slender five fingers touched the injured thigh, and his tone was full of undisguised mockery: "It's true that you pushed someone down the stairs last time, right?"
Shi's mother frowned and looked at Shi Rong.
Shi Rong shook her head quickly: "Mom, I didn't..."
Shi Li interrupted her: "You caused Shi Mu to break his leg, and some people are not used to it and come here to make excuses. I was injured because of this, right?"
Shi Li saw through her.
He was originally cold-hearted and would always think of other people's kindness, but Shi Rong's various behaviors made him completely disappointed in her. He didn't need to protect her again and again, and continue to tolerate her. Maybe after being treated coldly and hit again, she would really mature and sensible.
This made Shi's mother frown.
Even if Shi's mother didn't like Shi Mu and hated Shi Mu, she was always cold to her. Except for the last time when she beat her up when she checked into a hotel with a boy, she never hit her and didn't advocate violence.
In short, her little daughter disappointed her.
Mother Shi waved her hands, looking unwilling to listen: "Shi Rong, go back to your room, don't come down if you have nothing to do." Shi
Rong was unwilling to continue to explain, but met her mother's gloomy eyes. She shrank her neck and went back to her room unwillingly.
After Shi Rong left, Mother Shi's eyes fell on Shi Mu again, "Why did you come back?" Her attitude was not much better.
Shi Mu turned a page of the novel with his fingertips and said perfunctorily: "I came back to get grandpa's things. If you don't believe me, you can ask your husband."
"Your husband?" Shi's mother was furious. "Is that how you call your father?"
Shi Mu didn't even raise his head: "Madam, don't forget that we have severed our relationship."
Seeing her indifferent look, Shi's mother was furious and took a deep breath to calm down: "In that case, you don't have to take my father's things. Get out."
Shi Mu put his phone back in his pocket and stood up without hesitation to the door.
Just as he was about to open the door and go out, Shi's father came down, carrying Old Lady Shi on his back.
Old Lady Shi was in a very bad condition. She was skinny and had a black aura around her body. Her cheeks were sunken, her forehead was black, and she was having difficulty breathing.
Father Shi carefully laid old lady Shi on the sofa.
Seeing this, mother Shi was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you bring mom down? Didn't the doctor tell her to rest?"
Father Shi interrupted: "It has nothing to do with the doctor. Mom is not sick." Then he looked at Shi Mu, his tone almost begging, "Mumu, Dad knows that you and your grandfather have learned a lot of magic. Your grandma has been haunted by ghosts recently. Only you can save her."
Shi Mu didn't say anything, but looked at the old lady of the Shi family calmly.
She was indeed haunted by something, and that thing was slowly invading her internal organs and sucking her life bit by bit.
But, what does that have to do with her?
In the original owner's memory, the old lady favored boys over girls to a pathological degree, and she never had a good face to her. When her parents were not at work, she was harsh and difficult to her.
Shi Mu had a mocking look on his face: "It's funny. You called it an evil thing at the beginning, but now it's needed and it's become a magic."
After hearing this, Shi's father's expression became embarrassed.
He said: "Mumu, Dad never said that, it was all your mother's..."
"Shi Jianlin!!"
Shi's mother scolded, and Shi's father shut up instantly.
Shi Mu looked at the old lady who was barely breathing with an expressionless face: "The end is coming, prepare for the funeral."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to open the door.
Suddenly, Shi's father rushed over and blocked the door, forcibly holding Shi Mu back, with a worried look on his face: "Mumu, she may be your grandma, but she is also a human life. Even if there are a thousand wrongs, you can't just stand by and watch her die. Dad begs you, please be kind and save your grandma's life."
"You, you are not allowed to beg her..." The old lady who had fainted suddenly opened her eyes. Her sunken eye sockets were scary and her eyes were vicious. "She was the one who cursed me! She was the one who cast the curse on me. This little slut wanted to kill me! Kill me! Why don't you find someone to clean up this disaster quickly? You still beg her. How can you beg her!"
At the end, the old lady was already talking nonsense.
Shi Li, who was nearby, hurriedly helped the old lady sit down. He frowned and looked at Shi's father, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Didn't you say grandma had pneumonia?"
Shi's father sighed and shook his head: "Your grandma became like this after playing mahjong last week. She couldn't eat and was talking nonsense. We went to the hospital and the doctor said everything was normal. We spent money to find a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said that she was possessed by something, but he didn't know what to do. The reason I didn't tell you and Rongrong was that I was afraid you would worry."
The old lady's condition was getting worse day by day. Until last night, when the old lady was eating raw food, Shi's father realized the danger and had to find Shi Mu. But he also knew that Shi Mu would not come, so he found an excuse to let Shi Li trick him over.
Father Shi took Shi Mu's hand and fell to his knees, "Dad, please save your grandma. I know you can save her, you can!"
"You can't beg her, it's this bitch who hurt me... Since you brought her in, our family has not had a single day of comfort! What a sin! How could such a disaster happen to the Shi family, it's really a sin..."
As she spoke, Old Lady Shi spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The Shi family was in chaos. She leaned against the door, watching this farce like an outsider.
"Shi Mu, please be kind and save your grandma's life!" Father Shi's face flushed, and he kept begging, tears streaming down his face.
Shi Mu saw the black ghost squatting on Old Lady Shi, swallowing the old lady's soul in big mouthfuls while looking at her timidly.
The little ghost shook his head at Shi Mu and said in a shrill voice: "She invited me here, sister you can't hurt me, otherwise..." The little ghost pointed at Shi Li, "He will die."
Shi Mu narrowed his eyes and asked: "Why did she invite you?" As
soon as the words came out, everyone was silent, and they all realized that Shi Mu was talking about something else.
Shi Mu has been a freak since she was a child. In the one year since she was taken to the Shi family, she said she saw something every other day, which scared everyone in the family, causing her family to hate and fear her. Now that the thing is right next to them, Shi's father and mother can't help but get closer.
Shi's mother looked at Shi Li with a worried look on her face: "Xiao Li, why don't you go upstairs and rest first."
Shi Li didn't say a word or move.
Shi Mu automatically ignored the family, still looking at the little ghost, and asked again: "Why did she invite you."
The little ghost, who was covered in black, shook his legs and said: "She hopes that Shi Li will do well in the college entrance examination and have a bright career, so she invited me home, but she doesn't support me and I'm hungry."
The little ghost was only thinking about eating, and was not afraid of Shi Mu at all. When it was almost done, he jumped and laughed and left.
His goal had been achieved.
Shi Mu followed the little ghost to the old lady's room. Seeing this, Shi's father and mother hurried to follow.
In the closet, Shi Mu found a mahogany box, and inside it was a skinny little ghost. The little ghost's eyes were closed and his face was rosy, just like he was alive.
Seeing the scary thing, Shi's mother was so scared that she threw herself into Shi's father's arms.
"Shi Mu, this, this is..."
Shi Mu didn't say anything, just threw the box back.
Raising ghosts is not uncommon in this society. For the sake of money and interests, whether it is high-ranking officials or celebrities, they are willing to take shortcuts. The most famous of them is raising ghosts. Ghosts need human blood to feed, one drop at first, then two drops. Slowly, the ghosts grow up and their needs become more and more. Once the owner cannot meet them, the ghosts will retaliate.
It would be fine if the old lady didn't give the ghost enough space, but she also kept it hungry every day. Naturally, the ghost was dissatisfied, so it betrayed the contract and began to absorb people's yang energy. When the owner was about to die and there was nothing to eat, the ghost naturally settled down.
"I can't save her." After leaving this sentence, Shi Mu turned and went downstairs.
Father Shi calmed down and hurriedly followed, "Shi Mu, wait a minute, you can definitely save her. Since you know this, you can definitely save her. I know. Do you want money? If you want money..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Li, who was sitting next to the sofa, stood up slowly, with a bit of sadness in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, grandma is gone."
With these four words, the whole living room fell into a deathly silence. Old
Mrs. Shi fell backwards on the sofa, her eyes wide open.
Shi Mu took a look and walked towards the door with his hands in his pockets.
The tragic death of old lady Shi completely stimulated Shi's father. He lost his composure, clenched his fists tightly, rushed over from behind and knocked the man to the ground. Shi's father pinched Shi Mu's neck and shook it wildly, with anger in his sorrow: "Shi Mu, I begged you so much, why can't you please save your grandma! She is your grandma, your only grandma!!" The
middle-aged man was very strong. Shi Mu felt that her neck was about to be strangled. The suffocation made her eyes black and her stomach nauseous.
Shi Li hurried over to pull people, but the crazy Shi's father was like a mad bull, full of savagery. Shi Li, who was born weak, couldn't beat his father at all.
"How can you be so cold-blooded? Your mother is right, you are an emotionless devil!"
The wound on Shi's father's arm became even bigger due to his emotional excitement.
Shi Mu's forehead was throbbing with pain, and her breathing became more and more rapid. She felt that if she didn't think of a solution, she would have to die here. She turned her eyes and saw a fruit knife not far to her left. She had thrown it there and hadn't picked it up yet.
The strong desire to survive made Shi Mu try her best to reach for the knife. Holding the handle in her hand, Shi Mu stabbed his shoulder with a knife amid Shi's mother's screams. The spurting blood splashed her eyes, making them blood red.
Shi's father fell to the ground, covering his shoulder. Shi Mu took the opportunity to get up.
She held the knife tightly, and the bloody smell on her body made others dare not approach her.
Shi Mu's hair was in disarray and her lips were trembling. She suppressed her anger and said in a trembling voice, "Don't say I can't save her. Even if I can, I won't. How can I save her? She is right under your noses. You must know how she treated me, but did you care? Oh, now you are really entangled by the evil spirit, and you know to come to me, the evil spirit, to exorcise it? Isn't it ridiculous? Do you remember how you scolded me at that time?"
Shi Mu was afraid that Shi's father would rush over again, so she directly protected the knife in front of her chest. She looked at Shi's mother and sneered, "I really want to ask you, I am a Li people, you are also a Li people, I am an evil spirit, what are you?"
Shi's mother supported Shi's father and looked at Shi Mu directly, "Get out, get out."
Shi Mu reached out to wipe the blood off his face and threw the knife over. "In a few months, I will be an adult. Before that, I will return the 150,000 yuan I took from you. You didn't support me when I was young, and you don't need me to take care of you when you are old. From now on, we will truly sever our relationship, and you don't need to contact me in the future."
Shi's mother's shoulders trembled. "You, get out."
Shi Mu raised his chin slightly, his eyelids drooped. "Finally, please accept my condolences."
"Get out!" Shi's mother widened her eyes, and her expression was as if she was looking at a devil.
Shi Mu turned around and got out as she said.
The sun outside was very strong, even hotter than when she first came in. She turned her head to look at the beautiful house behind her. The house was like an abyss, making her feel cold.
She suddenly thought of the original Shi Mu. What kind of mood did that little girl have when she came here from the countryside, and what kind of mood did she have when she left here alone.
Shi Mu wiped the blood off his face and stumbled forward.
He rang the doorbell, and someone soon opened it.
In the dappled sunlight, the boy in front of her exuded a reassuring smell.
She stared at Fu Yunshen's dark eyebrows, her eyes turned red, and tears suddenly flowed down.
"Fu Yunshen, I want to go home."
For the first time, Shi Mu cried in front of him like a helpless child.
