"What kind of place is this!?"
I suddenly remembered something! I still remember very clearly that yesterday those two couples said they were looking for Boss Feng. This means that they must have known each other! Thinking about it this way, there are actually a lot of weird things in this shop. Those antiques and herbs, I've even checked on Baidu and there are no records at all!
Furthermore, Lu Xu had also told me before that this was a piece of ruin on the map.
I slowly let go of my hand and looked at him in fear.
"Who the hell are you?"
Feng Cha's originally indifferent expression began to loosen slightly after hearing what I said. Even Grandpa Wen revealed a difficult expression.
"Never mind, don't hide it anymore. Why don't you tell me all of it?" Feng Jun said indifferently.
"Wh …" "What …" I had a sudden feeling that I might know a big secret.
"Actually, it's just like what you've seen. We're not even human." Feng Chuan didn't like to procrastinate, so he went straight to the point.
"We are indeed not human, but we can be said to be the yin of the Underworld. This shop is for the dead to find their most precious things, all the antiques here are the things that others have lost."
"So you're all ghosts …"
My last word was uttered with a trembling voice. 'How unbelievable! I was a standard atheist before! If I didn't encounter such a situation today, I might not have believed it!'
"That's right, according to what we know, you're born with the Ghost Eye, it's just that you've always treated this ability of being able to see ghosts as your own illusion. If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandfather.
"My grandfather? "Didn't my grandfather already …"
"It's because your grandpa died a long time ago that I was able to get to see him. He's working in the Underworld right now."
When I heard what Feng Chuan said, I was a little stunned. I felt like I still had a little bit of confusion left in me. So there must be ghosts on the ground. There must be immortals?
"Before, the reason why I called you to close the shop at 8 o'clock was because this store was opened by a single person before 8 o'clock, but after 8 o'clock, most of the people here were just fooling around. Your body is too weak, you can easily be washed away by this kind of thing."
I couldn't quite accept it in my mind at the moment. Does this mean that I have abandoned more than twenty years of my lessons and accepted the fact that there is a ghost in this world? Didn't Grandpa Mao say before that after a country is founded, animals cannot become demons …?
"Sister Xiao Ya, are you alright?" He didn't even respond when he saw me standing there dumbfounded. Min Min Min asked worriedly.
"I... Can I see my grandfather … " All of a sudden, I couldn't react at all. However, my heart was filled with only that single line: Grandpa is working in the Underworld right now …
My grandfather passed away when I was about ten years old. He was a very famous local warlock, and his deepest memory for his grandfather was probably that his grandfather was surrounded by a group of eighth wives with a kind smile on his face, without a trace of impatience. In the past, I didn't know anything about ghosts and gods, only that my grandfather had so much prestige in the local area that he worshipped my grandfather.
Now that I think about it, before I was ten years old, all of my life was smooth sailing. It was most likely because my grandfather had always been protecting me.
"I can see you when I get the chance, a group of ghosts in the Underworld recently left the Underworld. Your grandpa was so busy recently that he didn't have time to see you. If you want to see your grandpa, then you have to stay here, what do you think?"
Stay here?
After living with them for so long, I didn't feel anything, but now I know that they are not human. What if they come to my room in the middle of the night to skin me, take my muscles, and treat me like a scapegoat?
"Big sister Xiao Ya, you should stay …" Min Min Min grabbed my hand and looked at me with a wronged expression.
"If you want to stay, then stay, if you want to leave, then we will definitely not keep you, everything depends on you. Of course, you don't have to worry about us trying to kill you, I told you that we are also civil servants in the Underworld." Feng Cha seemed to have seen through my thoughts as he stood up and spoke in a light tone.
"I'll give you an afternoon to think about it. If you're willing, then continue to stay. It's a month's salary of twelve thousand. If you're not willing, then move as soon as possible." After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Min Min Min and Grandpa Wen looked at each other before they slowly walked out of my room.
In a split-second, my room quieted down. In contrast, my mind was in a state of chaos. Go or stay?
I have to say, I'm very happy here, Min Min and Grandpa Wen are very good to me, Feng Chuan had a few words right, if they wanted to harm me, they would have already done so. And if they work here, I can see my grandfather!
But... I'm afraid, everything here is unknown to me, I don't know if I can survive in this place, I'm just a human, if I see those things last night, I'll definitely have a nervous breakdown one day!
Go? Or stay? How annoying!
I was so annoyed that I directly covered myself up. I wanted to be like an ostrich and shut myself up to ignore everything!
I closed my eyes, but my mind still kept on thinking about these things. Unknowingly, I actually fell asleep again.
I still dreamt of the man in my dream, but strangely, he didn't do anything to me this time. Instead, he just sat beside me and gently caressed my face with his big and rough hands. Although I couldn't see his face, I could feel the strong sadness coming from his body.
