“Huh?” Xiao Ru was shocked. “Could something go wrong?”
After what happened just now, she was a little sensitive.
Lu Sheng suddenly switched on her torchlight, attracting the attention of the two people in front.
“Who’s there?”
Grandma pulled Xiao Xian to a stop and shouted at Lu Sheng.
“Grandma, it’s me!”
Seeing a shadow on the ground, Xiao Ru hurriedly replied happily.
“It’s Xiao Ru?”
Grandma heaved a sigh of relief and walked over with Xiao Xian.
When the four of them entered the house, Grandma reprimanded Xiao Xian again.
Holding a bag of spicy strips in her arms, Xiao Xian lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Ru suddenly burst into tears, scaring Grandma and the aggrieved Xiao Xian.
Lu Sheng drank her water silently.
“What’s wrong, child?” Grandma hurried forward. She first touched Xiao Ru’s forehead. Seeing that she was not burning, she hurriedly asked, “Are you unwell?”
Xiao Ru sobbed and said, “Just now, Sister and I went to find you. We bumped into a ghost on the way.”
She suddenly remembered what Grandma said about the fate of the person who bumped into a ghost and was terrified.
“Bumped into a ghost?” Xiao Xian was shocked. “No way, Sister. I went out alone and didn’t see anything.”
She felt that Grandma’s words were just scaring children.
The person who jumped into the river was obviously a gambler. He could not repay his debts and jumped into the river himself.
How was it as scary as Grandma said? It was obviously superstitious and unbelievable!
“Really!”
Xiao Ru wiped her tears and said, “They look like you. They were standing in the middle of the road motionlessly and holding a torchlight, but the light wasn’t very bright.”
“Sister, did you see wrongly?” asked Xiao Xian suspiciously.
“I didn’t see wrongly!” Xiao Ru said, “When we passed by, they even called my name. Their voices were identical to yours.”
Grandma was shocked. “Did you respond?”
“No!” Xiao Ru sniffed and said, “I almost did, but Sister reacted quickly and covered my mouth.”
“Thankfully!”
Grandma patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Lu Sheng and asked, “So, Miss, you saw it too?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes.”
“Weren’t you afraid when you saw it?” asked Xiao Xian suspiciously.
She was not afraid and did not believe in these.
However, her sister said that she had met ghosts. This unfamiliar sister also said that she had seen them. She could not help but be a little afraid.
No matter what, she was only sixteen years old. Moreover, she was a girl. She could not be much bolder.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “As long as we ignore those things, nothing will happen.”
Normal ghosts would not provoke strangers unless they wanted to find a substitute.
It was obvious that the two ghosts were looking for substitutes just now.
She had already gotten Tan Jun and Jia Zheng to follow the two ghosts. When Chu Sihan came over, she would subdue them.
She could not let them harm others outside.
Ghosts finding substitutes liked to find those who were not well and those who were unlucky.
If she guessed correctly, the gambler who jumped into the river Xiao Ru mentioned should be the latter.
Xiao Ru was obviously the former.
After Xiao Ru calmed down, she hurriedly picked up the Exorcism Talismans on the table, passed one to her grandma, and one to her sister. Then, she explained, “Sister asked for these from an expert. She said that if I wear it, I won’t bump into those things..”
