I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 707 I'm closing my eyes, you can cry

Jiang Huashan had already run two meters away when he suddenly heard a sound behind him. He stopped immediately, picked up the gravel under his feet and threw it behind him.

"I think you deserve a beating."

Shen Guiling raised his arm to stop the stone.

Jiang Huashan immediately became furious and grabbed a handful of stones and shouted angrily, "Don't hide!"

"..." Shen Guiling's mouth twitched, "You are too unreasonable."

"Are you being reasonable? Are you following me in the middle of the night? This is an old house. If we are discovered, we will both be dead." After saying that, the handful of pebbles fell on Shen Guiling's chest with a thud.

Shen Guiling patted the dust on his chest and said helplessly, "I didn't follow you. I followed the person who followed you."

This was a confusing question. Jiang Huashan frowned at first, but when he understood, his eyes lit up and he trotted forward. "So, can you see clearly who that person is?"

She was hiding behind a water tank at the time. Although she could roughly guess the man's identity from his figure, she didn't see his face, so she felt uneasy.

Shen Guiling lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly, "When did you hide that dagger on your body?"

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have died in her hands.

Jiang Huashan coughed lightly and argued, "Girls are bound to encounter danger when they go out. What's wrong with me bringing some self-defense equipment?"

What he said made sense, but it was all just excuses.

The guests at today's banquet are a mixed bunch, including members of the Shen family and fellow villagers in the town.

She left the table without saying goodbye, which seemed very suspicious to Shen Guiling.

The old house is not a dangerous place, but she actually carried a dagger with her. It was obvious that she was prepared in advance.

Shen Guiling knew that she was always stubborn, so she lowered her head and asked, "Is that the fish you wanted to catch?"

Jiang Huashan's eyelids moved slightly, and when he raised his eyes, their gazes met. The tacit understanding of the alliance made the lie seem cumbersome at this moment.

She pondered for a moment, then grabbed Shen Guiling's clothes and said, "Follow me."

Jiang Huashan pulled Shen Guiling through the corridor. They did not stop at any lighted house, but turned into the more secluded west wing.

The pomegranate tree in the yard grew wildly, its branches almost reaching the eaves, and its shadows made the old flower pots piled in the corner of the wall look black.

"Here."

She was familiar with the route, and Shen Guiling cooperated throughout, even hooking his arm around her waist to make it easier for her to pull people along.

"arrive."

Only then did Shen Guiling shift his gaze away from Jiang Huashan's face and look around calmly.

The house in front of me only had a half-open wooden door with peeling paint. It looked like the entrance to a long-abandoned storage room, and the door handle was still wrapped with dead morning glory vines.

Just as he was wondering, Jiang Huashan had already reached out and grabbed an inconspicuous green brick on the side of the door. He dug his fingertips into the cracks in the brick and actually pulled the brick out half an inch.

Then, the wooden door that seemed motionless suddenly made a very light "click" sound, like an old bone turning over.

"Come in."

Jiang Huashan squeezed in sideways first, and Shen Guiling followed closely behind. Only then did they realize that what was behind the door was not a storage room at all, but a narrow corridor sandwiched between two walls.

It was no more than three feet wide and about two steps long. There was a palm-sized air vent above their heads. With the bright starlight, they could just see each other's faces clearly.

Jiang Huashan missed looking at the starry sky above her head a little.

In her previous life, she returned to the old house to learn the rules in order to be a good Madam Shen. Every time she was punished too much, she would hide and cry. One day, she happened to fall from the low wall and hit the old brick. From then on, this place became her secret base.

From then on, whenever she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, she would come here to watch the stars.

The air was still filled with the smell of damp wood and old ash, and it was obvious that no one had been here for many years.

The starry sky in the countryside is particularly beautiful, just as it was back then.

"This is where the security guards used to hide when they were on night watch. I... I discovered this place unconsciously. I won't be caught if I talk here." Her eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

Shen Guiling raised his hand and touched the wall behind him. The brick that Jiang Huashan had just pressed was the secret of this place. How could such a hidden place be easily discovered?

He nodded and looked up at the Milky Way above him. "It's a nice night."

After getting to know each other over the past year, he has become accustomed to Jiang Huashan using lies to protect herself.

He also agreed with Jiang Huashan's insistence on being wary of everyone, even him.

Jiang Huashan curled his lips, looking somewhat pleased with himself. Suddenly, he remembered something and regained his composure. "Tell me quickly, who was that person you saw?"

Shen Guiling thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, she should be from Shen Jun's family. We call her Second Aunt."

"Second Aunt?" Jiang Huashan frowned, "Why would it be her?"

Shen Guiling is famous for his photographic memory. There is no possibility of deviation in his memory. If he says it is true, it must be true.

But she couldn't figure it out. She and her second aunt had no connection in this life, so why was she following her inexplicably?

Seeing that she had no intention of talking, Shen Guiling took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her?"

Jiang Huashan shook his head, "I can't explain it clearly yet."

The reason why she deliberately left early today was because that day, after she and Grandma Wu resolved the knot between two lifetimes, a long-lost electronic prompt tone suddenly rang in her mind.

【Ding--】

[Reminder: Book Spirit Mode is activated, the main storyline has returned to 63%, and the current main storyline is % off the progress.]

The mainline has been repaired with 10% progress.

If she hadn't been afraid of scaring Grandma Wu, she would have lifted the bed.

She couldn't understand why the book spirit took effect while she was talking. She couldn't even guess which part of the previous life's plot the book spirit was correcting.

After thinking about it, she felt that something might have happened to the people in the old house. In order to confirm her idea, she thought of using herself as bait to see if she could lead to any related plot.

Of course, she was not unprepared. Ever since Grandma Wu passed away, she had been hiding the dagger in case of emergency.

Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "The night is so beautiful."

Jiang Huashan was originally immersed in brainstorming on how to revise the play, but when she heard these words, her mind suddenly went blank.

She seemed to sense something and looked up at the starlight above her head that had illuminated her two lives.

Before I could appreciate it, a flash of bright red suddenly appeared above my head, blocking my view.

"..."

Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the red color was actually a large, plump red date, which was held between two fingers and hung above his head.

"what?"

Puzzled, she turned to look at Shen Guiling.

Shen Guiling placed the red dates in her palm and said, "I picked them."

Jiang Huashan stared at the dates in his hand with a changeable look in his eyes.

Shen Guiling smiled and pulled her to sit cross-legged. He pointed to the top of his head and said casually, "It is said that people become stars after death. Which one do you think is your great-grandmother?"

Jiang Huashan rubbed the red dates in her palm carefully, then raised her finger and pointed at the one closest to her head.

Shen Guiling pointed at one at random and said, "I think it's that one, the brightest one."

She frowned. "What do you know? With Grandma Ether's personality, if she were a star, she wouldn't be the brightest one. She'd definitely be the one closest to us."

Shen Guiling thought about it and nodded, "That makes sense. That's the closest one."

Jiang Huashan was also unhappy, "Don't you need me?"

Shen Guiling shook her head, "Grandma likes you, and the one you can recognize at a glance must be her."

Jiang Huashan was slightly stunned, staring at Shen Guiling for a long time, and finally couldn't help but dropped a golden bean.

When Fu Sui'er burst into tears, she didn't cry. When everyone was sad, she was only a little sad. But Shen Guiling's words touched a nerve. She really couldn't help it.

She actually wanted to save her grandmother, but she was powerless.

This game played by her great-grandmother made her feel what destiny, reincarnation, cause and effect are... She also saw how insignificant her existence was in the face of true fate.

But she had no one to tell these things to, so she could only carefully suppress them in her heart.

It was precisely because of this that she couldn't wait to find out the reason for the plot to be reversed, and that's why she decided to go out alone with the dagger to look for an opportunity.

But crying like this was really embarrassing. Jiang Huashan sniffed and was about to wipe her tears when Shen Guiling raised his hand and put it around her shoulders, gently pressing her cheek and letting her lean against his shoulder.

"Jiang Huashan, I closed my eyes~"

"Go ahead and cry..."
