Chapter 13
The next day.
When I woke up in the morning, the mourning hall had been tidied up and seemed to be back to its original state, but the atmosphere had obviously become strange.
The uncles who knew about it were okay. Those who heard the noise last night but were blocked in the room had very subtle expressions.
However, although this is an old house, it was only rebuilt on the foundation of the old house. It was not built for a long time and the sound insulation effect is very good.
Grandpa's movements last night were all made in the main room, and the door was closed. Those who were blocked in the room probably couldn't hear clearly.
After breakfast, Shen Qingyang asked me with concern, "Xiaoluan, were you scared last night? I don't know what was going on over there in the mourning hall, it was quite noisy!"
Faced with his concern, I obviously felt guilty but had to lie, "Really? I've been very tired these two days. I slept very deeply, so I didn't hear him."
Shen Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay if you didn't hear it, it's quite perceptive. You are such a timid little girl, you can be easily frightened."
I didn't dare to say too much to him, lest I accidentally go out naked, so I stopped the topic after a few perfunctory words and looked at Shen Qingyao.
She was cast by Ci Yuan last night, but she didn't seem to know about it at all. When she woke up today, she was the same as usual, so I felt relieved.
I don’t want more people to know about Ci Yuan, especially Shen Qingyao and the others, otherwise they will definitely treat me as an alien due to their temperament.
Although our normal relationship is not good, being a stranger is too harmful. If she tells my friends and classmates, wouldn’t I become a loner?
My father and others obviously didn't want everyone to know that my great-grandfather had transformed into a corpse and fled. The funeral was held as usual. The grave was dug today and the funeral was prepared tomorrow afternoon.
Last night they said that my great-grandfather would harm the villagers when he went out, so I went to my dad to ask him what to do next. I couldn't ignore the villagers.
My dad's face was ashen, "Your uncles and I will go up the mountain today to look for them. Zombies are afraid of light and won't come out during the day. They must be hiding in some cave."
I couldn't help but worry, "But you were all injured last night, can you still climb the mountain? And there are so few of you, how long will it take to find you?"
My dad started settling accounts with me again, "Now that I know I'm worried, what did I do last night? Such a good opportunity was wasted by you!"
I have never given him face since I was a child, "Do you want to quarrel with me again? I also want to know why the monster killed Grandpa and turned him into a zombie!"
My dad glared at me, "What do you mean?"
I'm not afraid of him, "I mean, how many shady secrets have you hidden? Otherwise, why would the monster only bother you, and there's more than one!"
These words probably touched a sore spot in my father's mind, and he shouted sharply, "This is not something a woman should know. Just be your sacrifice!"
The other daughter was my father’s little lover in his previous life, and I was his biggest enemy, and I specifically confronted him tit for tat, “What if I can’t do it right?”
My dad even clenched his fists, "You damn girl, do you want to piss me off to death?"
I yawned, "I don't dare to do this. Master, please take your time to find me. I'm going back to the house to sleep. I'm almost exhausted!"
I barely slept last night, and now I'm yawning all the time, and my great-grandfather will probably come out to act like a monster at night, and he won't have any water that night.
My dad waved his hand like he was shooing away flies, "Go to sleep. If he really shows up at night, don't let him go like he was useless like last night!"
This person is so shameless. He needs my help to calm down the situation and still treats me like this. If you have the ability to do it yourself, otherwise you have to use the attitude of asking for help.

I went back to my room and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but in my daze, I suddenly felt something licking my face, which was still wet.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a teddy dog standing next to my pillow, its little pink tongue licking my face.
What the hell?
Why did a teddy suddenly appear here?
Could it be that another mourner came and brought a furry child with him?
Before I could fully wake up, a voice suddenly sounded, "I finally woke up. Even the pigs are willing to be defeated in front of you!"
Only then did I see Ci Yuan sitting on a chair nearby, "Why are you here again? Are you monsters so idle? You don't even need to practice?"
Ci Yuan proudly raised his chin towards the little teddy, "I'll let you play with this beast for two days. Catch that useless old thing and bury it as soon as possible!"
"Woof woof..." The little teddy nuzzled me affectionately with his little head. He seemed to like me very much, and it was obviously brought by Ci Yuan.
"Do you still keep such a small pet?" I looked at Ci Yuan in surprise. I really couldn't believe that the dignified Jiaolong actually kept a little teddy.
"Pet? Haha..." Ci Yuan smiled strangely and then changed the subject, "You Shen family are becoming more and more useless. Even the zombies can't be conquered!"
I sat up and held little Teddy in my arms and teased me, "How do you know that great-grandpa turned into a corpse and ran away?"
Ci Yuan snorted coldly, "As long as I want to know, there is nothing I can hide, so don't think about plotting against me!"
I rolled my eyes, "You think too highly of me, right? How can a useless mortal like me plot against you?"
Ci Yuan was actually wary of me, "I'm not familiar with you, how could I know if you were wearing a mask to confuse me?"
I was too lazy to argue with him, so I took the mobile phone on the bedside table and took a look. Oh boy, I actually slept from morning to afternoon.
No wonder I felt so hungry when I woke up. If Ci Yuan hadn't been here, I would have run to the kitchen to look for food in the refrigerator. I wouldn't have had time to chat with him.
Ci Yuan changed the topic very quickly, almost jumping. He was doubting me just now, but now he became concerned, "Did those two beasts hurt you last night?"
I shook my head quickly, "No, they don't even dare to approach me. My dad said it's all because of you, so thank you very much!"
Ci Yuan's arrogance rose again, "If they dare to touch my woman, I will destroy their home!"
I believe he is not joking. Although he is not a real dragon, he has survived the disaster before and must be very strong.
Looking at his arrogant look, I couldn't help but joke with him, "Hey...it seems like being your woman will give me some benefits!"
Ci Yuan's face was full of disgust, "So slow to react? I thought you would have known better of me when you knew the reason why you can breathe freely in the water!"
"Well...it seems like my reaction is indeed a bit slow..." At that time, I just thought it was amazing that he could give me this ability, and I didn't think about anything else at all.
