Jiang Qinian and others had imagined many scenarios for meeting, but they never expected that Gu Xiaoman would actually say such a sentence.
But soon, he thought of a possibility.
Yellow warning for sleet and snow.
That means that no matter what, they have to go back to the past, which is the day of Gu Xiaoman's twelfth birthday.
Gu Xiaoman should have seen him and others at that time, and they left a deep impression on each other.
Otherwise, if five or six years had passed and they had only met briefly, Gu Xiaoman would never have recognized them as soon as they met.
Thinking of this, Gu Linghao planned to ask:
"Girl, I don't know..."
"Ling Hao!"
Suddenly, Jiang Qinian opened his mouth and scolded him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Linghao immediately thought of what Jiang Qinian had told him.
That is, don’t interfere too specifically with the past or future, otherwise it will lead to unpredictable changes!
Since they need to travel to the past, they are part of history and have been finalized.
But if you know what happened at that time, even if you remind yourself all the time, you will eventually subconsciously avoid those bad things.
The consequences of this are unpredictable. It may not only be a few of them, but even colleagues and friends who are close to them will be affected.
Once the wheel of history is even slightly biased, it may cause a huge catastrophe.
Seeing this situation, Gu Xiaoman was about to say something, but Jiang Qinian stopped her first.
"Miss Gu, do you know what we do?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman thought for a moment, and then nodded gently.
"Okay, if you believe us, can we come in and have a chat?"
"Okay...you guys, please come in."
With that said, Gu Xiaoman pushed open the wooden door, revealing his whole body.
A pair of sportswear that has been washed until it turns white, and a pair of worn-out old-style cloth shoes are all this girl's outfit.
The yard is small, but it is kept very clean. In the corner, there is a rusty tricycle parked. The white boxes on it are particularly white, and it looks like it has been carefully wiped many times.
On the platform, there was a large pot, and the shelves next to it were filled with all kinds of seasonings.
The aroma of broad beans in the pot overflowed from the cracks in the pot lid, curled up to the eaves, then spiraled upward along the ravines on the tiles, and finally dissipated into the air.
This simple house gives off a hint of plain fireworks.
"Guest...Guest, I am making you laugh. I am cooking noodles, so there is...a little mess at home. Please don't mind."
Perhaps it was because there were few guests at home, but Gu Xiaoman always felt a little awkward when facing a few people.
Therefore, Ying Chumei also opened her mouth to comfort her:
"Miss Gu, don't be nervous, we are just here to understand some things."
"Oh...Okay...Okay! You guys please come in quickly!"
With that said, Gu Xiaoman took the lead, opened the door, and then made an invitation gesture to Jiang Qinian and others.
After entering the house, Jiang Qinian quietly looked at the layout of the house, trying to find some useful clues.
But what is disappointing is that there is nothing noteworthy in Gu Xiaoman's home.
Some daily necessities, as well as awards plastered all over the wall.
But looking at the handwriting on it, it's obviously from elementary school.
The only thing worthy of attention is a photo.
Over the years, the surrounding photo frame has also suffered a lot of wear and tear, but it is still very neat and looks like a very precious thing to Gu Xiaoman.
Gu Xiaoman in the photo is about ten years old. She is sitting on the bench with a smile. Next to her, stands a kind and kind old man with a slightly stooped figure and a little white hair on the temples.
frost.
If there are no accidents, this person should be Gu Xiaoman's grandmother, the old man who suddenly disappeared when Gu Xiaoman was twelve years old.
After entering the room, Gu Xiaoman enthusiastically brought them two chairs and said at the same time:
"Guest, the place at home is small and there is no room to sit on the Kang. Please bear with me."
"It's okay, it's very neat.
You don’t have to be so polite. When I was a child, I often went back to my grandma’s house with my father. The house in my grandma’s house was similar to yours. It was not a big place, but it looked very cozy.”
"Oh... then... your grandma must be... a very kind person, right?"
Gu Xiaoman thought about it, but he really had no experience in entertaining guests.
She has been alone for so many years.
Not to mention guests, she didn't even have friends who came to her house to play. Whenever she saw those peers walking together in small groups, her heart would always be filled with envy.
Therefore, I could only invite a few people into the house according to my impression of grandma, and then make tea and water.
Jiang Qinian didn't know how to proceed with what he said to her.
Just after she finished speaking, she felt that something was inappropriate, so before Jiang Qinian could speak, she quickly changed the subject with a blushing face:
"Guest, I don't have tea at home. I only have a few bottles of mineral water given to me when I went to work as a part-time worker. If you don't mind, just drink it."
With that said, she put the mineral water into the hands of Jiang Qinian and others.
Jiang Qinian looked at the bottle of mineral water in his hand and sighed inaudibly.
These bottles of mineral water may have been stored for a long time, but Gu Xiaoman has never been willing to drink them. Now that they came to visit, he took them out without hesitation.
Presumably in this girl's eyes, a bottle of mineral water is considered a luxury.
Ordinary people may think it's too artificial. It's just a bottle of mineral water. How much better can it get if it costs just a few dollars?
But people who have never experienced hard times don’t know what these few dollars can do.
It can buy a bag of the cheapest pickled mustard or a few steamed buns, which represents a day or even two days of food for a poor person.
It may be so little that most people will ignore it, or it may be so much that it can fill the stomachs of those who are unhappy.
In fact, you can't make much money selling noodles. Jiang Qinian had seen it before. In most places, the price was three yuan per pound, and as times changed, fewer and fewer people bought them.
In many cases, selling three or four pounds a day is considered a good profit.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian also smiled and said:
"Miss Gu, thank you very much for your kindness, but to be honest, we are a little thirsty all the way. You are a housekeeper, so you naturally know that this mineral water cannot quench your thirst like boiled water.
So if it’s convenient, could you please help us pour some boiled water.”
In fact, Jiang Qinian and the others are not thirsty. Although the special plane is not for them to enjoy, they always have some mineral water and some compressed biscuits in the water dispenser.
But if he doesn't drink, Gu Xiaoman will inevitably think too much, so he said this.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman also hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, no trouble. Just wait a moment."
Ying Chumei couldn't help but smile as she seemed to notice her glancing outside from time to time.
"Miss Gu, please take a look at Mianhudou outside first. Things here are not urgent."
"Ah...Okay, okay, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, you're welcome."
Although Ying Chumei kindly asked her to look at the big pot outside first, Gu Xiaoman still poured water for them before opening the door and heading outside.
While drinking water, Jiang Qinian asked several people quietly:
"Did you notice anything strange?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yueliang thought for a moment, and then replied:
"When I walked here just now, I felt something was wrong. It seemed that the closer I got to Gu Xiaoman's house, the heavier the yin energy was, and the number of wandering souls was getting denser.
However, Gu Xiaoman's yard is very clean. Although the Yin Qi is strong, the strange thing is that none of the wandering spirits have come in.
Hmm... How should I put it? It's like the wandering spirits are surrounding the yard, and there seems to be something stopping them in the yard, so those wandering spirits can only stay outside."
"Um."
Jiang Qinian nodded.
"What else?"
"Also, these wandering souls have been drained of their energy and energy."
At this moment, Wu Ruonan suddenly interrupted.
"Maybe I'm naturally more sensitive to these things. Although wandering souls have no consciousness and no ability to think, it doesn't mean that they really can't think.
This is just because of some suppression.
If this were not the case, how many of those wandering souls would look at their relatives and friends in the past while they were dying, and how many of them would be able to leave indifferently?
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening, unless the obsession is deep, the wandering soul will be suppressed by the way of heaven, and then obediently enter the River Styx.
But the wandering souls here are not just a matter of being suppressed, they are not moved by any victorious people at all, they are just like dead objects, even the so-called instincts no longer exist, they just rely on some kind of coercive means to gather here!"
After saying that, Jiang Qinian and Ying Chumei were not surprised because they had expected it. On the contrary, Gu Linghao found it a little strange.
But now is not the time to transform into curious babies, so the two of them can only be patient and wait quietly for what happens next.
Their strength is limited, and the clues they can investigate are also very limited. They can't find any clues at all with some more advanced methods.
Therefore, the purpose of this unknown event is to introduce them to the world, and secondly, to let them learn to analyze problems by themselves instead of becoming a machine that only knows how to follow orders.
Sooner or later, the day will come when they become captains, and the responsibilities on their shoulders will be far more important than they are now.
Moreover, with the yellow level warning, with the strength of him and Ying Chumei, even special events would not be out of control.
After saying that, Wu Ruonan thought for a while, and then asked Ying Chumei:
"There are only so many clues that I can see. I wonder if my sister-in-law has any different opinions?"
"I have practiced martial arts, so my control and perception of spiritual power are much better than ordinary people.
The ghostly aura, demonic aura, dead aura, and anger in this world are all a state of spiritual power.
The reason why ordinary people think they are mysterious is because they are special.
But you have to understand that being special does not mean being outside the scope.
So you guys, guess what I saw in Gu Xiaoman?"
"I hope my wife can clear up my confusion."
Gu Linghao was a straight-tempered person, so he asked directly.
Hearing this, Ying Chumei smiled lightly.
"The death energy around him has almost condensed into substance, and his shadow is extremely illusory, on the verge of collapse, and his face is completely devoid of life!
