After these people were settled, we went back for a short rest. Lao Mao and I followed Rujun and Ruoshui back to their apartment. Since there was no danger during the day, there was no need to go back to the unfinished building.
.
And it turned out that the grouping in the unfinished building was not successful. What was supposed to come came anyway. The evil ghosts of the Xu family did not hesitate at all, and the grouping did not block their powerful offensive.
Rujun was very tired after a night of fighting. Even though he was a human-ghost fusion, he still had to sleep.
Fortunately, it was definitely safe during the day and we slept soundly. However, the old cat never slept too deeply. I could always vaguely hear the sound of him turning over.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, I was suddenly woken up by a phone call. When I lowered my head, I saw that it was Wang Jing's call.
I was wondering that Wang Jing didn't call Laomao, but called me. After thinking about it over and over, I still felt that something was a little strange.
I quickly answered the call, and Wang Jing said: "Lin Yang, Third Grandpa is awake. Please come over here quickly."
When I heard the good news, I was just about to call Rujun and Laomao, but Wang Jing suddenly whispered: "Grandpa San said that he only wants to see you and not anyone else. Remember this."
Stay, come here alone."
I heard something strange. Third Grandpa is clearly close relatives with Xu Changge and Lao Mao, but why did he come to me first after he woke up?
I vaguely felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but I didn't know who to ask. After much deliberation, I hung up the phone, quietly slipped out of the apartment by myself, and took a bus to the hospital where my third grandfather was.
Although it is already autumn, the autumn tiger has not passed yet. The sunshine in the afternoon is very bright, which can be regarded as drying up all the bad luck that caused the ghost last night.
Now I realize that I really like the sun. Although there is Xiaofeng attached to my body, I am still a living person after all. The sun shining on my body is really very comfortable.
Xiaojing was standing in the sunshine waiting for me, which made me sure that it was indeed Third Grandpa who came to find me, and not Xiaojing playing tricks on me.
I originally thought that this news might be a trap for the evil ghost from the Xu family to take over or control Xiaojing and trick me into coming to the meeting alone, but now it seems absolutely impossible, because a person controlled by a evil ghost cannot stand in the sun.
"Xiaojing, what did Third Grandpa say?" I asked quickly.
Xiaojing shook her head and said: "Grandpa San has just woken up for more than an hour. He is still in a very bad state and can't say much, but he always wants to see you."
I nodded and quickly followed Xiaojing to find Third Grandpa.
The third grandfather was lying on the hospital bed. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the smell of various drugs mixed together. It was very unpleasant and made me feel a little depressed.
Third Grandpa glanced at me, forced out a smile, and said, "You're here?"
Due to excessive blood loss, Third Grandpa's face is now almost pale, frighteningly white, and his lips have no color at all.
I nodded and whispered: "Here we come."
After all, I am an old neighbor who has always lived across the door. Seeing Grandpa Third like this made me feel very uncomfortable.
What's more, Third Grandpa has always been kind to me. The last time a crazy Taoist trapped and killed Xu Fengxian, it was only with Third Grandpa's help that I was able to escape successfully.
Third Grandpa glanced at Xiao Jing behind me. Xiao Jing was so exquisite and clear. He obviously immediately understood what Third Grandpa meant. He turned and left, closed the door, and said, "If you need anything, just call me. I'll be waiting outside."
After Xiaojing left, Third Grandpa pointed to the stool next to the hospital bed with his chin and said, "Sit down."
I quickly sat over and sat down on the stool.
Third Grandpa sighed and said in a very slow tone: "Lin Yang... The reason why I came to see you today is because... in this team, the person I trust the most is actually you..."
At this point, the third grandfather was already out of breath. He paused for about half a minute, and then continued: "Wang Rujun and Chen Xuance... I can't believe it because they are ghosts, not people. I hate that child... Chengfu Tai
Deep, thinking too much, it is not easy for him to believe in others, and it is certainly not easy for others to believe in him... As for Chang Ge... alas..."
When Third Grandpa mentioned Xu Changge, his expression suddenly changed, which made me feel that he seemed to know some secrets about Xu Changge.
It seems that Third Grandpa himself doesn't trust Xu Changge very much. Although the two are uncle-nephew, and although they have been friends for at least forty or fifty years, it seems that the more this happens, the less Third Grandpa trusts him.
"Lin Yang, let's put it this way, there is a traitor in our team."
Perhaps it was because Third Grandpa's physical strength could no longer keep up, so he spoke concisely and directly, without any intention of beating around the bush, which was a bit hard for me to accept.
I frowned and asked, "Grandpa Third, why do you say that?"
Third Grandpa said: "Do you remember the trap we set in the hall on the third floor? There is Xuhen's red rope, our obsidian powder, and the furnace cauldron and sandalwood that Changge brought..."
I nodded quickly and said: "I remember, of course I remember, these are important defenses that we can use to fight against the Xu family."
Third Grandpa gave a wry smile, and suddenly showed an expression of resentment on his face, and said: "Actually, that's not true. In fact, except for the red rope of Xuhen and the few sandalwood sticks, the rest of the traps have been dismantled... Later
After we went through all the trouble to light the sandalwood, we discovered that in fact, a long section of the sandalwood had been cut off..."
"That's it!" Then I realized that the sandalwood had lost its smell not because it had been extinguished by someone, but because it had been pinched off by someone else. The sandalwood could have been burned until noon the next day.
The incense burned for less than an hour before it went out immediately!
That's why Third Grandpa said that there is a traitor in our team! Because it is indeed the case, these tricks must have been done before the evil ghosts of the Xu family invaded, not after they were invaded by the evil ghosts of the Xu family.
"Third Grandpa, who do you think the traitor will be?" I asked quickly, although I knew this question was a bit confusing.
The third grandfather did not answer me, but closed his eyes, which made me feel that he had lost his strength.
"Third Grandpa, please rest first. We will discuss these issues after you recover." I said quickly.
But the third grandfather struggled and shook his head and said: "No, no, Lin Yang, if I don't say these words now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say them. I can't hold on anymore, and I may go to my elder brother at any time.
And my second brother... plus the evening is coming, even if I can survive this afternoon, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this evening."
"Third Grandpa, don't talk nonsense! The Xu family also suffered a serious blow last night. They may not be able to come and assassinate us tonight." I said quickly.
Third Grandpa smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Stop arguing with me on these useless topics. I haven't told you who the traitor is yet."
"Who is the traitor?" I asked quickly.
"It's definitely not you..." Third Grandpa said something that made me collapse: "But anyone other than you may be a traitor, Lin Yang, you have to be careful."
Is this the judgment of Third Grandpa? That’s why Third Grandpa called me here? Not Lao Mao, Xu Changge or anyone else?
I really couldn’t believe that one of us could be a traitor, so I quickly asked: “Third Grandpa, do you think this traitor could be one of those underworld people hired by Xu Changge?”
Third Grandpa did not answer me, just remained silent.
After a while, the third grandfather suddenly said: "Lin Yang, I may not be around long. There is something I want to tell you first. Xu Changge is a talented and powerful person. However, he has more than enough talent but not enough kindness... so he cannot become a
The leader’s.”
"What do you mean..." I didn't understand a bit.
"Nothing else, I just need you to remember this sentence." Third Grandpa said, "Also, there is one person I need to talk to you about, that is the man wearing... an apricot yellow gown."
As soon as I heard him, I quickly cheered up and asked: "By the way, Third Grandpa, I was just going to ask you, who is he? What happened at the last moment that day?"
