Chapter 24
The Savior Was Sucking Her Thumb
Everyone went silent.
The wind also seemed to have quieted down following what she said.
Xia was freezing cold, down to her bones, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Chatter, chatter. Her teeth were also trembling.
Her hands that held Jiang Huailu shook slightly.
The eyelids of the chief of the Yamen officers pulsed.
“What feather duster? What hat?” the chief of the Yamen officers asked with a deep voice. He didn’t notice that his voice was shaking.
The chief of the Yamen officers quickly came over and saw that kid staring at the empty fog with her eyes, as if she was confused.
“The uncle in a white shirt is holding a white feather duster and the one in a black shirt is holding a black feather duster, like the one my father used to beat me with.” Jiang Huailu saw that the two shadows seemed to be standing in front of her after a glance.
The chief of the Yamen officers turned pale and his hand holding the sword was also shaking.
He looked around anxiously, but found that it was still white everywhere and he couldn’t see anything clearly.
The daughter-in-law of the Fang family suddenly touched her chin and said, “I heard that kids that age can see things adults can’t see. Maybe it’s true? Besides, I heard that the little girl of the Jiang family was born in mid-July when the Gate of Hell was open. Perhaps, there’s something different about her?” The daughter-in-law of the Fang family didn’t mean to ridicule, but Liu suddenly jumped up.
“I told you. I told you this girl is a bane! You didn’t believe me! I knew she’s a scourge. She may be the one who brings the Jiang family a disaster…” Liu’s teeth chattered, but she gritted her teeth at Jiang Huailu again.
“Mother! Mind you words!” Xia suddenly got up.
She stared at Liu, as if she would rush forward and tear Liu’s mouth apart if she said one more word.
“That’s enough! Yubai is still out there. What are you arguing about? Huailu, the two men you talked about… Are they gone?” Old Lord Jiang looked at his youngest granddaughter.
The grandchildren of the Jiang family were all clever. Only Jiang Huailu seemed to have a problem.
Although Old Lord Jiang said he treated everyone fairly, who didn’t love smart kids more?
Although Jiang Huailu was already three and a half years old, she rarely stepped out of the Jiang family.
The biggest reason was that he was worried she would embarrass the Jiang family.
Xia held her daughter even tighter. Even since her daughter was born, everyone in the capital had been saying that the youngest girl of the Jiang family would bring bad fortune. She was born in mid-July and was born a bane.
Xia gritted her teeth and lowered her gaze, hiding the anger in her eyes.
She knew that those words came out of Liu’s mouth unintentionally!
How ridiculous! People outside still didn’t say anything at first back then, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law wagged their tongues in front of the outsiders. The rumors circulated around vigorously because of her daughter’s grandmother.
Jiang Huailu didn’t know this secret. She just stared at those two black and white uncles dumbfoundedly.
“They’re standing right behind grandma.” Jiang Huailu looked at Liu.
No, she wasn’t looking at Liu.
She seemed to have seen through her and looked behind her.
This immediately gave Liu goosebumps. Her scalp was about to explode and her fingers shook, as if there was a pair of eyes watching behind her. She felt that her heart tightened.
“Argh!” Liu screamed.
The old lady was so scared that she fainted.
Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang frowned. Bai Wuchang even bent and got closer to take a look at Jiang Huailu’s eyes.
“This girl’s eyes are a bit unusual,” Bai Wuchang mumbled.
Hei Wuchang kept walking forward indifferently. “Let’s just take the soul of this dead baby back first. If it grows up here, there will be another round of killing. We’ll look for the savior when we have time.” Children who died right before they were born held an extremely great resentment.
Bai Wuchang nodded. He then nodded slightly at that child.
The little girl didn’t seem to be afraid of them. She even smiled so brightly that her eyes curved.
Over the years, there were always people who could see them because of a momentary opportunity, but these people usually couldn’t see them the second time.
The two of them could only try their best to catch the resentful ghosts to ease the suffering of the world.
But it wasn’t quite effective.
The laws of nature had been broken and the three realms were in chaos.
Hell was no longer what it used to be.
The Mythical Animal had predicted that before everything happened, a savior would appear in the world to stop the destruction of the world. The entire Hell had been closed. They were the only ones who had escaped.
Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang left without looking back. At this moment, none of them knew that the savior they were looking for… was looking at them with a childish face, while sucking her thumb in her mouth right now.
Looking back five hundred times in the previous life in exchange for a brief encounter in this life.
The ancestors were indeed right!
