I don't understand why Don wanted to get involved.

What was his goal? After thinking about this, I returned to my room.

Initially, he had intended to return to his room to ponder over it and see if the other party had exposed any flaws.

But when he woke up, it was already noon of the second day.

I had never slept so soundly before. It was as if I had just died, and I felt dizzy.

However, the sounds of firecrackers came from outside, making it difficult for me to continue sleeping. Thus, I got up.

He put on his clothes and walked outside. When he saw people running around on the street, he asked them some questions.

When he asked this question, he realized that it was actually someone who had died in the village, and this person who had died was our village head's bachelor.

As for his name, I do not know it. All I know is that he is our family, and his last name is Wang.

Even though he wasn't that old, since he was a bachelor, everyone would prefer to call him old.

With regards to the old man's death, the village's originally relaxed nerves once again tensed up.

When I asked them what the cause of death was, they all looked at me in silence, not daring to come even half a step closer.

When I walked towards them, they would be so scared that they would ignore me.

After seeing this, I didn't mind.

After all, what happened in the past few days, they probably already treated me like a bane.

Since they didn't want to tell me the truth, I had to check it out myself.

When they arrived at Old Wang's house, there were many people inside and outside, but no one dared to enter.

As I watched them, two or three of them, leaning against the wall and discussing in low voices, I felt that the matter had become more serious.

I followed him to the door of Old Wang's house.

He hadn't even entered when he felt a wave of cold air assaulting his face.

Strangely, this feeling came from behind me.

I turned to look, but there was nothing special about it other than the people who were talking animatedly in the yard.

As a girl, according to the rules of the village, I have no right to visit such a place.

But they didn't try to stop me, either, and I was able to see for myself what was going on.

For some reason, I felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with my family.

As expected, just as I entered the room, I discovered this fact.

Because on the floor of the living room, I saw a clump of red soil.

Just like the first time I saw it at second uncle's house, this red dirt was very eye-catching.

I started.

I subconsciously thought that Second Uncle's death was caused by my mother wanting to take me away.

And at the scene of Second Uncle's death, such a strange sight had been left behind.

But now it seemed that things had become even more complicated.

Mother wanted to take me away, but Second Uncle was an obstacle, so Second Uncle's death was also within reason. After all, this also explained everything clearly.

But it's fine, Old Wang. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with our family. Why would he die?

Furthermore, my mother has already been dead for more than ten years.

Carrying the doubts in my heart, I walked over step by step. After entering the main hall, I didn't find Old Head Wang's corpse in the room.

I subconsciously turned my head to look at the bedroom on the side.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but be dumbstruck. That's because, at this moment, I astonishingly saw Old Wang kneeling on the floor with his pair of round eyes. He had both hands on the floor as he raised his head and glared at me.

I was so scared that I almost screamed.

Fortunately, I covered my mouth in time. Old Wang's death was too unsightly. I reckoned that I would have a nightmare tonight. Without further ado, I ran out of the room.

As I dashed out of Old Wang's residence, I faintly felt those people in the courtyard pointing at my back as though they were talking bad about me.

I couldn't resist this kind of feeling. I subconsciously turned my head to look, but I discovered that they weren't paying attention to me at all. It was as though I was air and wasn't being noticed by them.

I immediately frowned and left Old Wang's house.

Even though it was broad daylight, I didn't stop at all on the way home.

When I came back, sweating profusely, my grandmother asked me where I had been and why I was sweating profusely.

I didn't dare tell the truth. I just told him to go out for a walk and then rushed into my room.

I sat on the bed, my body trembling uncontrollably. When I thought of Old Wang's vengeful gaze, my entire body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

It was at this moment that I heard a knock on the door of the courtyard that I had locked from the inside.

The knocking sound was deep and powerful.

Dong, dong, dong.

Dong, dong, dong.

Every time I knocked on the door, the sound was the same. Under this very low sound, I felt as if I had knocked on a coffin board.

My mind jolted and I subconsciously ran to the window and looked outside.

I thought Grandmother would go out and open the door at this hour, but she didn't, as if she hadn't heard.

As the knocking continued, I gritted my teeth and walked out of the room, wanting to open the door.

When I reached the door, the knocking sound continued.

Immediately, I looked outside through the gap in the door and realised that the person knocking on the door was my father.

I was relieved, and at the same time, it occurred to me that my father seemed to have just returned.

One night, plus the whole morning, it seemed a little inappropriate for me to have him come back.

If he only needed to chase after the two black-clothed men, then it didn't seem that he would need that much time. Then, what did he do with the rest of the time?

Thinking about this, given how I saw Old Wang's head dying miserably this morning, I couldn't help but have a bold thought. Could it be that Old Wang's death and my father …

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you opening the door and preparing to eat?" Gran's voice suddenly came from behind me.

I trembled in fear and hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

His father walked in from outside. He hadn't come back for the entire night, and he looked to be in a very sorry state.

When he went out yesterday, he was still wearing his fine clothes. Now, it looked like he had been torn to shreds.

I immediately asked in astonishment, "Dad, what happened to you? How did you become like this?"

If it was just chasing that person, it wouldn't be necessary to do this. He just didn't know what had happened after his father chased that person last night.

My father had always avoided answering my question.

He patted the dirt off his body and said without even looking at me, "Girl, don't do so many things."

What he said made sense.

However, the recent events, no matter which one it was, were all closely related to me. If I didn't have a few more thoughts, I would have been a dead man by now.

Thus, I couldn't help but follow behind my father as I kept on asking, "Just tell me. I'm curious and want to know."

My father simply ignored me and walked straight to his room.

I didn't care about that and followed her in. "What did you do last night, why aren't you even willing to tell me? We are a family, there's nothing to hide, right? "

Father impatiently turned around and looked at me. "You don't need to know. You only need to know one thing. All of this is for your own good."

It was the same phrase again, and it almost grinded a callus in my ear.

At this moment, I said disapprovingly, "I want to know the specific details of the situation. It's not just a simple excuse."

Seeing that I was agitated, Tang Ran, who had been following me silently, pulled me.

At this time, his father also said, "Alright, I need to rest. Whatever it is, wait for me to wake up first."

With that, he pushed me out of the room and closed the door.

I stomped my foot angrily.

Tang Ran, who was at the side, also comforted her, "Alright, you don't need to think about it anymore." After saying this, he opened his mouth as if he still had something to say, but he did not say it in the end.

Seeing him like this, I can't help but feel that I have caught onto something

He immediately brought Tang Ran to my room.

He didn't think that I would be like this, so he looked a little surprised.

"Tell me, where did you guys go last night?" I asked.

Facing my questions, Tang Ran stammered out, "I didn't go anywhere. I just chased after the two men in black."

"It's that simple?" You chased him for an entire night? " I asked.

He stammered, unable to make sense of the situation.

Seeing him like this, I wasn't angered. Instead, I smiled. "Alright, since you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You should leave. You've stayed at my house for quite some time already. It's time to leave."

Seeing that I had given the order to leave, he quickly waved his hands. "Don't, you can't chase me away."

"But there's no need for me to leave a worthless person at home to eat and drink, right?"

"Who said I have no value? I say, is that not okay?" Tang Ran finally spat out.

I didn't expect that Tang Ran would be so easily tricked. He fell into my trap with just a few words.

I immediately sat on the bed again and said, "Tell me what happened last night. If you tell me honestly, I can consider letting you stay."

Although I don't know why he stayed, I could see that he wanted to stay, as if for something very important, or something very important, and that it had to be done through me, or else he wouldn't be pestering me, not my grandmother or my father.

However, to my surprise, Tang Ran's words made my heart tremble.

"That mysterious man from last night, your father is not his match. He knows this very well, but he is still chasing after him. This is very strange, so after sending you home, I went there again."
