Chapter 115 – Child Debt

His body shook, his eyes filled with blood, looking at me, wanting to say something, but finally falling silent.

From the beginning, he mentioned that the businessman, able to connect with these things, in my mind is only Lin Tian his father one, and later mentioned that they died because of this person, then I am even more sure, by now, I also finally understand Lin Tian his father owes my family what, this is the debt of human life!

Just I didn't understand, why to this kind of time, he is not willing to directly mention Lin Tian his father's name to.

My dad shook his head and said, in fact, between us and him, in the end, who is at fault, it is not a sentence that can be understood.

My dad told me that when they realized that they had to have Lin Tian's father with them to have a chance, they didn't understand what was going on, they just tentatively mentioned it to his dad, who knew that he agreed on the spot.

My father's heart was a little strange, he was a person with little contact with this business, how did he agree so quickly?

Lin Tian's father smiled, directly from the cabinet to hold out a bunch of drawings, spread in front of my dad. My dad looked at the above for a while, his heart was also very shocked, according to the ancient jade carving pattern, they checked countless maps, used one or two years time, it was not easy to find out the specific location of that side of the ancient jade.

I didn't expect that this pile of paper, drawn on the intelligence about that place, according to the map, there is either an ancient tomb, or a dungeon. The pattern of each room inside, are drawn in great detail.

My father was surprised and asked him where these things came from.

Lin Tian his father laughed, busy pulled my father sat down, slowly explained to him.

At that time he got the ancient jade, every once in a while, will do a strange dream, dreaming that he went to a place never seen, inside the dark, what can not see clearly, but when he set up a torch, suddenly found himself in a stone room, placed around, are some extremely rare porcelain antiques a class of their own casually pick up one or two out, did not expect are worth a lot of money, resale, suddenly very rich. Suddenly rich and wealthy up.

And he did this dream every few days, the content is the same, the beginning of his heart is very strange, and then he slowly pondered, think this is an omen, and then looked for the previous master asked, said this is a ghost omen, but also a sign of great fortune. It is a sign that one day, the scene in this dream will be realized. This master finished, but also smiling, let Lin Tian his father do not forget him at that time.

My father listened to this heart bottomless, always feel where not right, but can not say a reason, but since Lin Tian his father is also willing to go, then this thing is settled.

The time of the trip my mom eyelids have been jumping, the heart more or less worried, or my father said a lot of comfort words, which is more or less relieved some, but also explained my father they have to be more careful, Lin Tian his father's dream, even if it is really a ghost omen or good, this is a good thing. But usually things in the tomb, are not allowed to move, a careless will cause things, even if there is really what treasure, that also wait for them to leave, in the hands is not too late.

Lin Tian's father agreed with a smile, and also asked my mom to rest assured. They made their preparations and set off.

My dad didn't mention much about their destination, the process, seemed a bit arduous, in their time, transportation wasn't well developed, and it still took quite a bit of time to stop and go along the way.

He only said, when they really into the inside, only to find and Lin Tian's father's description of some differences, the general layout of the room is correct, but there are some subtle differences, more importantly, most of the rooms inside, are empty nothing. Lin Tian's father was not happy, thinking that he had risked his life to come to this poor mountain valley, but the things in the dream were as if they had all been moved away, and straight and my father complained that they had come too late.

My father saw the situation inside and the dream situation can not match, heart suddenly alert, according to reason, ghost omen this kind of thing, if it really happened, that is certainly not much difference, even if there is, the difference is also very small. So taking a look at these surroundings, both he and Old Zheng had some sense of unease.

They bypassed one room after another, did not expect the last room, the center of the place is actually placed a vase, Lin Tian his father was immediately happy, felt that the emperor is not responsible for the people, finally found by him as, at that time as soon as he saw that bottle, immediately ran to the front, reach out for a hand.

My dad's heart that sense of unease more strongly up, busy towards Lin Tian's father shouted, but obviously it was too late, his dad just moved, the vase from the ground to pick up, that the house came a whimpering sound, scared his hand trembled, Kuang's one, the vase fell to the ground and crushed.

My dad cursed, said bad, this is someone special to get good array, this vase is the array eye, do not know what things inside the town pressure.

I think here, he busy greeted the two retreat, but the words just exported, this room of ghosts are out!

Lin Tian's dad was a noob and caught it at once. My dad hated and angry in his heart, but still ran to save him. It was not easy to drag him out of the pile of ghosts, but I did not expect, Lin Tian his father estimated that there was nothing sensible scared, even in order to escape, subconsciously yanked my dad, a hand, a flip him to the ground, those ghosts swarmed up, my dad suddenly had no chance to fight back.

I listened to the heart shocked, this feeling, as if I watched those zombie movies, a group of living dead chase up, the first to be caught will be eaten, and then in order to save his life, first crippled his friends around him to stay in place, when the zombies attacked him, he had a chance to escape.

My dad made light of the process of his death, seemingly unwilling to mention much about the situation, he only said that at the moment of his death, he finally understood that there is a kind of ghost in this world, specializing in wandering the world in search of those who are greedy for profit, imploring them to go and find their own graves, this is not a ghost to send wealth, but to lure these people to go, and then devour their souls and flesh and blood. That is, as the saying goes, people die of wealth!

Lin Tian his father was actually targeted by this kind of ghost a long time ago, so he sent that ancient jade to him, and according to his idea, in the end, even if there was no invitation from my father and the rest of them, sooner or later, Lin Tian's father would come here once with someone else.

When my father woke up he realized that he was already dead, even his body had been gnawed and tattered, next to him, there was still Old Zheng's body that had fallen over, and Old Zheng's soul, it had already fallen apart.

The only feeling he had at that time was unwillingness. He had fought for so many years, and did not expect to end up here.

I heart a burst of vain, I step by step to track down, is not also because of their own heart that a trace of unwillingness it ……

He didn't know what he thought at the time, as if his mind was hot, he thought of using Ding Ding his father's body to borrow a body to return to the soul. It also became the current appearance. He escaped with his own body, but when he returned home, only to find that his funeral have been over for a long time.

My mom spends her days in tears, he struggled in his heart for a long time before deciding to recognize her, only the days, can never go back to the old days.

He was not sure whether Lin Tian's father was alive or dead, and only later did he learn from my mom that after Lin Tian's father escaped from there, he had also come to our home once, but what he brought, in addition to the news of my father's death, there were also lies.

He gave a rough account of what happened at that time, and tried to restore every thing as much as he could, so that my mom did not suspect anything. Most importantly, he changed the part of the vase, saying that my father and Lao Zheng did not find the clues they wanted, and for a while they had an argument, and finally inadvertently knocked over the bottle, and he was farther away, and at that time, when the group of ghosts were out, he did not have the ability to control the ghosts, and secondly, he was scared, and did not care much about it and escaped.

My mom may not believe it all, but there is no proof of death, and only so let go.

But also because of this matter, my mom from that time onwards, on the grudge Lin Tian his father, during the period to find a lot of his trouble. Lin Tian's father had no choice but to talk to my mom, the price is Lin Tian's life.

However, my father also said, in fact, my mother did not want Lin Tian's life, at that time, the bloodstain, the need is only human blood, they have a lot of ways to be able to find, but because there is this debt in the, as the saying goes, the father's debt is paid by the son, this is also Lin Tian his father to take Lin Tian instead of their own, as for the bloodletting after, Lin Tian is not able to survive, that everything, just listen to God's fate… …

Chapter 116: Ghosts

I sighed, about Lin Tian's father's matter, from the day I learned about it, I have never mentioned it to Lin Tian, now I think about it, at that time in the wasteland, after Lin Tian's father left, the first thing he did after bringing Lin Tian home was to spread rumors in front of Lin Tian to split our relationship.

In the end, it was still to save his face and reputation in front of others, just like deceiving my mother back then.

But after I thought about it, I don't know why, but I also feel that I can understand this kind of approach of his, just like my father said, in fact, he can't tell who is right and who is wrong, if it were me, at that time, all the people died because of me, after I came back, how should I face their loved ones who are still alive in the world. I would have lied to them because I couldn't face them, just to feel better in my own heart.

But understanding doesn't mean agreeing, as long as it doesn't happen to you, everyone has the right to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others. So even if I know these things, should I tell the truth to Lin Tian, I don't know what I will do afterward. Even if I told the truth, I didn't know what Lin Tian would do, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown because of Lin Jing's death, I really wasn't sure he could take the blow.

Seeing me fall silent, my father reached out and patted my shoulder, he said, Xiao Xi, I can understand all of your thoughts right now, but things have already happened, what to choose is still up to you. But the most important question now is, I have never been able to figure out why you guys want to go to Jiu Ye.

I was silent for so many seconds before I opened my mouth to tell him about Mrs. Jiu Ye's disappearance after I came back from my hometown, but deliberately left a message for me. I thought that the neighbors near Ding Ding's house were all controlled by the Parasitic Grass, and even if he deliberately watched our every move, there was no way for him to gain insight into the world's affairs.

Who knew that when he heard my words, he froze for so many seconds, and then suddenly his face sank, saying, No, there is definitely something wrong with those words!

I slightly frowned down, and I didn't know which part he was talking about.

He looked very heavy, and if he had been in a different spacious ground counter, he probably would have stood up and paced back and forth. I looked straight at him and saw that his palms were still rubbing nonstop, as if he would subconsciously make this movement when he encountered something he had difficulty understanding.

I waited for a while, before I heard him open his mouth, saying that Yu Fangtong would not do this, although because of the old Zheng's matter, she therefore hated me for more than ten years, almost also cut off contact with our family, and even the Lin family, but also only and Lin Tian his mother occasionally contact, because that woman, is considered to be an outsider amongst us who is not involved in these things at all. Even now, what she knows is minimal. Yu Fangtong knows that you have a blood peroxide on you, the blood peroxide will draw out the impermanence, and the situation will be uncontrollable at that time, even if she hates me, it is impossible for her to do such a thing!

I looked at him doubtfully and asked, What do you mean, is that the message was left to us by someone else? And Mrs. Nine is completely unaware of it?

He nodded his head with a serious look and said, Yu Fangtong was originally from Jiu Ye Village, she knows clearly what is strange under the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, not to mention that she disappeared, and the message was still for her son to convey it to you, and she should be clear about her son's character, and would definitely not let him go with you and take the risk, so there are definitely other people who are making trouble from this place.

I listened to my father's explanation, the idea in my heart is actually similar to him, even if Mrs. Nine does not like me, and even resent my father, but she has no reason to hurt Ding Ding, if it is true that he left a message, it will certainly be the first to exclude Ding Ding.

So, I feel even more strange in my heart, if that message is not left to us by Mrs. Nine, then the person who left the message must have a good understanding of Ding Ding and I. At least he can know what kind of decision Ding Ding and I will make after getting this message. Even to add to this sense of reality, so that we could believe that this was a message left by Mrs. Jiu Ye, this person didn't even pass the message directly to me, but instead pretended that all the surrounding neighbors could only recognize Ding Ding.

At that time we were in Jiu Ye, if not for the little ghost, now life and death is hard to predict. Encountering the little ghost was something that even I could not have imagined, and I guess even the person who left the message did not expect that a person of his kind, who seemed ordinary and common, would end up reversing our lives and deaths.

In my mind, I listed a few candidates who would do such a thing, such as Lin Tian's father, such as Lu Yao's gang. But in the end, after some consideration, they all felt untenable. Lin Tian's father didn't have the ability to control the parasitic grass, and from my father's narration, he didn't know much about Jiu Ye's matter. And Lu Yao they want to bloodper, also know can't let me die, go to Jiu Ye and their original intention to refute, from this point of view, this left a message of people, should be a recognize us, but have not yet shown their faces.

I will I this idea out, but my father said that this may not be, can really with nine Mrs. family, we Tan family, and nine Ye's relationship with people, now there are not many, everyone has a secret, you do not know what their real purpose is, so in the future to do things, you have to consider the consequences first.

I nodded, resuming my thoughts, and asked him again, saying that I've always wanted to know what's underneath the Jiu Ye Xie Family Ancestral Shrine, so much so that even the Irregulars would run out from there?

My father inhaled a deep breath, opened his mouth just to say something, we were sitting in the carriage suddenly stopped, the inertia is too strong, so that both of us did not stabilize our bodies, "bang" a crooked on the carriage.

I froze for a moment, and asked what had happened.

Which know my father suddenly made a "hush" gesture toward me, and then gently pulled the curtain in front of the carriage, towards the outside to look at. I was curious, also busy to come forward, the light outside is limited, can only rely on the fire horse body that a gap flame to identify the environment.

But I took a look, and was surprised to find that we had been sitting in the car for so long, but we were still within the graveyard. It was as if we had been parked in the same place without ever leaving, but I did have a feeling of constantly moving forward before.

Ding Ding and Lin Tian had already disappeared, and instead, right in front of the carriage, on the narrow road in the graveyard, there were suddenly a few more children, laughing and giggling, holding stones to draw a white line on the ground, and then bouncing and jumping around playing the kind of stepping on the checkerboards game that you often see when you were a child.

It was an extraordinarily strange sight to behold, who've you ever seen whose children run into a graveyard in the middle of the night to play this kind of thing. Even the fire horse, with its hooves on fire pacing back and forth on the ground as if trying to break free from the reins and run from the place, was a little afraid of the child in front of him.

My father only looked at it, the expression on his face became gloomy, busy turning back to look at me, saying Xiao Xi, I had a lot of things I wanted to say to you, but now I don't have time, there are people chasing after me, later you go down from the car, all the way towards the front, directly back to where you live, no matter what sounds you hear don't turn back, remember!

My expression became serious, although I didn't understand what was going on, and I didn't know what kind of people were chasing my dad, but when looking at that fire horse, I knew that the situation was not good. The Mirror Spirit from earlier was already hard enough to deal with in my opinion, a few hooves from the Fire Horse could make it lose its ability to move, but now this child that didn't seem to have any attacking ability was unsettling it, and the level of danger could be imagined.

I didn't even have time to think about it, just nodded my head, my dad reached out and pulled me, a hand lifted the curtain, tugged me and jumped down from the car, the front of the few children saw us out, the game of stomping on the grid immediately stopped, the mouth is still laughing and joking, the sound echoed in this graveyard, in the middle of the night sounds not only does not have the slightest bit of comeliness, and even there is still a hint of horror.

They bounced around as if nothing was wrong, and walked towards us.

My father looked deeply at me, his breath sinking between his nostrils as he opened his mouth and drank, Run!

With little hesitation, I immediately turned my body and ran towards the exit of the mausoleum. But as I moved, the laughter behind me changed at once, the child screamed and suddenly turned into a cry, the cry became more and more mournful, and as if it was following me closely, no matter what methods are lingering like.

I do not know why, I seem to be born on the old man and the ghost of the child fear to be much stronger, as if I watch horror movies, those teeth and claws of the ghosts and monsters always give me a false feeling, but as long as the image of the child and the old man, the heart will be inexplicably hairy, and I do not know if there are people and I am also the same.

I was made by this cry, my whole body sweat hairs are tree up, this feeling is like you are sweating, but there is always a cold wind blowing you, make you feel creepy.

I didn't dare to stop at all, but when I ran forward, I still felt that there were a few very small hands that kept patting your body or legs and feet, making you feel a little itchy, and couldn't help but want to turn back.

I also do not know the situation on my father's side, but I believe that he himself has the ability to deal with, even if I stay, it is estimated that only will become a drag on him, although I learned about his identity not long ago, regardless of whether my heart is not to agree with what he did back then, but I know that I still do not want anything to happen to him.

I headed all the way forward, no matter what I felt was behind me, but I still didn't stop. After a short while, after rushing out of the mausoleum, I ran onto the road, the sound of that crying was only a little smaller, and after running for some more distance, it was completely inaudible.

I took a long breath, hanging heart finally put down, looked up and looked ahead, this big road, or empty, can't see anyone's shadow, but now I would rather surrounded by nothing, it's better than the appearance of a person, but finally found that he is a ghost of the same situation.

But what I didn't expect is that I just breathed a sigh of relief and took a step wanting to continue toward the front, and suddenly a voice coldly sounded from behind with a hint of a crying voice, saying, Tan ……

Chapter 117: Fake Corpses

Hearing this address, my body trembled for a moment, and I stood still, not daring to move, and immediately afterward, I heard a cry, gloomy and miserable, coming from behind.

I was very tormented in my heart, and finally couldn't bear it and slowly turned my head.

Three meters away from me, a silhouette stood there, she hung her head low, her hair was hanging down, even under this street light, still couldn't see coarse her face. Her body was askew, as if she wanted to try to stand up straight, but looked powerless to do so.

I swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, only to realize that my mouth has been dry to the point of no return, open his mouth, half a day before shouting out her name, said, Xiao Jing ……

Her body that couldn't stand upright shook slightly, and her crying stopped at once. Slowly raised her feet and took a step towards me, I subconsciously followed the backward step, the current scene, just like earlier when she was controlled by the mirror spirit, this empty main road, there are only two shadows of me and her.

I have known since I met Lu Yao that the mirror spirit can control the actions of the person in the mirror, but it is unified with the real world, just like if you raise your hand in the mirror, you raise your hand in reality just the same. The only difference is that the mirror spirit can foresee something that will happen later in the mirror, just like in Lu Yao's house, I have also escaped the heartless murder of Lu Yao's father today because of my grandmother.

This feeling sounds a bit like a ghost omen, but a ghost omen is foreseeing something that will definitely happen out later on, whereas the things that the mirror spirit sees are more like a kind of prophecy for the future, and depending on how you react, what happens is something that will change.

But just because of the earlier in the graveyard when those things happened, now the situation, as if the scene will be repeated, remember Lin Jing strangled my neck, want to kill me, I more or less chilled, so now, also had to be on guard against her, she took a step forward, I took a step backward, deliberately pulling away a distance.

Lin Jing seemed to have realized it as well, her footsteps had just lifted, and without stepping forward, she fell.

My eyes were unblinking, looking straight at her, afraid that if I didn't pay attention she would pounce on me, but for some reason, after she stopped her footsteps, she stood still.

We just so confronted each other, who did not move a bit. After a short while, she suddenly raised her head with a brush, her head slightly tilted back, but twisting unnaturally as if it would fall off her shoulders at any moment. Her face was covered in blood, and her skin was still so rotten that she couldn't see her original appearance, even when I saw her like this when I pried open the coffin in the graveyard just now, I was only a little sad for her, but now that the situation had changed, I suddenly felt nauseous, and I couldn't help but regurgitate my stomach.

She stared at the blood-stained eyes looked at me, and suddenly shouted gloomily again, said Tan, are you afraid of me ……

I looked at her, my heart was tangled for a while, and I never said anything. She was as if testing the look of a glance, gently took a step towards me, mouth continued to say, I do not want to be like this, brother Tan, I just want to be like before, no matter what I did wrong, you never blame me, right ……

My heart welled up a feeling of sadness, couldn't help but nod, she took another step towards me, her mouth still called Tan brother Tan brother, my heart frustrated feeling even stronger, think of the previous days, and look at the current Lin Jing's appearance, there is always a feeling of things are not the same.

However, I sighed to sigh, when she理我只有两三步距离的时候，我也开口了，说你就站在那里，不要接近，小静，你有什么未完成的事情，可以告诉我，有什么心愿，我可以做到的，我都能尽力帮你满足。

A touch of despair passed slightly in her eyes, and she said, Tan, are you really afraid of me ……?

I can not tell whether I am afraid of her now this appearance, or afraid of what situation I have, but in short, just be careful.

Probably seeing that I don't eat this, she suddenly moved towards stopping her footsteps, her voice suddenly cold, and said, Brother Tan, you just said that you can satisfy me with whatever I want, right?

I did not consider it, but my mouth still only said, I try my best!

Both of her hands suddenly lifted up, seemingly wanting to pull my shoulders, the look on her face suddenly froze, and her eyes looked straight at me, saying, But I just want your life!

As soon as her words fell, she suddenly pounced towards me, I was shocked in my heart turned around and wanted to run away, but how do I know, I just turned around, but she appeared behind me again, two cold hands, and at once clasped my neck!

I do not understand why Lin Jing would do this, but I am not that see ghosts scared to walk the road rash, see this situation is not right, subconsciously raised his hand toward her head to hit, but did not expect a fist fell, only feel their fists fell on the same as the slate, the back of my hands are a burst of stinging pain, and even can not control the shaking up.

Lin Jing's head was slightly raised backward, and then brushed and turned back, her mouth was open, revealing a row of mangled teeth, a look that I couldn't associate with Lin Jing at all.

I couldn't stop my two feet from kicking around, but I couldn't get her to back off one bit, I only felt her grip on my neck getting tighter and tighter, and my face hurt unbearably from the blood engorgement. But right after that, I suddenly saw a black thing, from behind Lin Jing quickly went to shoot over, brushing, penetrating out from her back, steadily stabbing into her body!

Lin Jing pain unbearable, open mouth screamed miserably, I followed the trend of another kick, her body fell backward, it was not easy to break free from her hands. Also collapsed to the ground in one fell swoop, breathing sharply!

Immediately after, I heard someone shouting towards me, the voice came from far away, sounding extraordinarily anxious.

I hurriedly raised my head, and saw Lin Tian driving a car, speeding from afar, and Ding Ding holding a bow and arrow in his hand, peeking out from one side, and was pulling back the bowstring, ready to shoot another arrow as if he was ready.

I was as if I saw the savior, the mood suddenly excited, toward them to answer, a sound, throw away steps like the two ran over.

Lin Tian put a sharp brake on the car and parked it on the side of the road, shouting towards me, saying come up quickly!

I hurriedly ran over, but pulled open the car door, I heard Lin Jing shouted in the back, and put on a miserable and helpless look, shouted Lin Tian brother.

Lin Tian looked at her that look, did not say a word, the expression is very complicated, finally or Ding Ding scolded, said you fucking still pretend with us, think they are star face it!

I froze for a moment, but listening to Ding Ding this, immediately realized, no wonder I have been feeling heard wrong before, that body is not Lin Jing at all!

Thinking about it this way, the things that happened tonight were basically all connected. We came here from the very beginning, not to mention the fact that this corpse was surprisingly able to get the ghouls killed, at that time, when the Mirror Spirit appeared, it was already very out of place.

It was as if someone had deliberately laid a trap waiting for us to jump towards it, although it sounded a bit weird, as long as we knew that Lin Jing's grave was there, regardless of whether it was Lin Tian who was going to dig the grave, but I would definitely look to visit it when I had the time and catch a turtle in a jar!

Moreover, the person who arranged this trap was aiming for me, wanting me to die!

Whether it was the mirror spirit or this disguised corpse of Lin Jing, the purpose was just this one. But what makes me feel even more afraid is that the person who laid out this layout, knows my relationship with Lin Tian Lin Jing very well, which even makes me have an idea that this person and the person who left us the information to go to Jiu Ye before might be the same one, because they all know my life very well, and they all want to take my life, but I don't know if it's too much of an idea or something else that makes me wonder if Lin Tian's dad is dead in the In this matter, is it true that he knew nothing, did not realize that the body and Lin Jing is the same person, or is it that he intentionally hid something.

And originally felt that the problem has been solved, now there is a contradiction, Lin Jing she is now dead or alive, to die, where did the body go? To live, why is the person missing?

But I can't afford to think about it in detail now, I directly opened the car door and drilled into it, that corpse was recognized by Ding Ding, also stopped pretending, holding the arrow that was stuck in her body with her hand, showing her teeth and wanting to pull the arrow out, and even struggling to get up from the ground, ready to pounce on us.

Lin Tian didn't give her this chance either, he looked at the corpse with a complicated expression, and then with his foot on the gas, he took Ding Ding and I and rushed out, leaving the corpse far behind.

I originally thought that this corpse is a ghost, even if we escape, she should be able to catch up, but Ding Ding is very confident that it is fine, just now the arrow is enough to suffer.

I relaxed a little, and asked how they found the corpse had problems.

Ding Ding told me that at that time I and Lin Tian digging corpse when he has been very strange, this body is rotten like that, but a little rotten smell is not, even ghouls come out, obviously the flowers on the grave has been thankful, but even the ghouls can still be attracted back, then Ding Ding feel it is weird enough.

Originally that corpse ran, Ding Ding originally wanted us to follow to see where this body wants to go, in a good study of what this is, but did not expect to come out of the mirror spirit and the fire horse these changes, I was taken away, the two discussed half a day, think bare hands, and then what accidents may not be able to cope with it, which decided to go home to look for some equipment before saying that I did not expect to come back to meet me.

Speaking of this, Lin Tian glanced at me from the rearview mirror and asked me, Tan Xi, what happened after you were taken away by that person?

Once Tintin heard this, he was also busy turning back to me with a face full of curiosity and asked me, saying right! Who was that man? Is it my dad or not!

I looked at the two of them, as if I had suddenly become that person who was harboring a secret, not knowing how to answer ……
