Chapter 45

I was startled, I was busy retracting my hand back, the mirror suddenly calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Yao stood beside me properly, seeing this reaction of mine was very strange, asked, what's wrong with you?

I looked at her puzzled look and was very puzzled in my heart, as if she couldn't see the changes in this mirror. I didn't make a sound, but when I looked at my own face in the mirror, I asked her, where did this mirror come from?

Lu Yao said, this mirror has been in the house since I was born, for many years. My dad takes it out occasionally to clean it, like he's afraid it'll break if he leaves it there.

As Lu Yao spoke, she reached out and touched the mirror, and I panicked, saying don't touch it!

But her hand had already landed on the mirror, I didn't even dare to close my eyes, I waited to see the mirror's reaction, but the mirror was even the same as before, nothing had changed.

I was puzzled in my heart, could it be that this thing would only have strange things happen if I touched it. So is this my problem, or is it the bloodper's problem?

Lu Yao retracted her hand back, slightly angry, what do you call it, scared me!

I hid a smile and said I was afraid you'd accidentally push it. Your dad will probably have to fight you for it!

Lu Yao shook his head helplessly and said How big a deal is it. Alright, alright, there's nothing to see, let's go first.

We then left from the mirror, on the way I still look back from time to time, although the mirror quietly in place without moving, but I still can not help but hair in my heart.

We walked through the hall for a while, and arrived at a room, pushed open the door and saw that there was a dining table in the center, the very long kind, on which all kinds of food had already been set.

I felt as if I had walked into a movie, it seemed that Lu Yao's family was still particular about food, after all, when we ate at Lin Tian's house it wasn't this grand.

Lu Yao's dad was already sitting at the table, still wearing formal attire, looking like he had just returned from the hospital as well. As soon as her dad saw us come in, he smiled a bit and stood up to greet me. I also smiled back, basic manners should still be observed.

Afterwards we each found a seat, Lu Yao sat next to her father, I sat on the other side, took a look at the food on the table, it was mostly western food. I was quite unnatural in my heart, I didn't know much about the etiquette of eating western food, so I didn't make a move.

Lu Yao's father smiled politely and said make yourself at home, don't be formal.

I gave a thank you, still feeling too rustic, picked up my knife and fork, and hesitated again.

Seeing that I didn't move, Papa Lu thought that I was shy or something, so he found a topic to make me relax and asked me, "I heard Xiao Yao say that your name is Tan Xi, right.

I nodded my head and let out an "uh".

Her father laughed a little, said today that thing, Xiaoyao said you may understand some, so I invited you to ask you what is going on?

I actually already knew that his father would ask me this, but I didn't expect it to be so quick, a bit of an open door.

Before I could say anything, Lu Yao gave a disgruntled light grunt from the side and said Dad, it's dinner time now, don't mention those things that make people's stomachs turn.

Road father embarrassed a smile, said to me, you see I'm old and confused, just too curious in the heart, a moment did not hold back, let you see the joke.

I said, "No, no, no, I'm just saying a few words, it doesn't matter.

Father Lu turned into that pleasant appearance again, looked at Lu Yao and said, "This daughter of mine, she likes to pick on my shortcomings.

I said, "This is Lu Yao's truth, without her today, I don't know what to do.

Father Lu said, "I've heard about this, and it's not the first time she's suddenly pulled some patients off the road. It's not the first time she's pulled patients off the road, but we're all locals, so it's only right that we help each other out.

I let out a "hmmm" and didn't know what to say.

The table fell silent, facing this kind of not familiar people, this kind of atmosphere makes me very uncomfortable, I just want to pick a topic to continue, father suddenly said, right Tan Xi ah, you this name sounds a little familiar to me, I used to know a family with a grandson also called Tan Xi, it can't be you, right.

I slightly raised my eyebrows, said Uncle Lu you will not know my grandfather, right?

He let out a laugh, said your grandfather I am not familiar with, after all, not a generation, just heard of it. I know more about your grandfather, my father they had some dealings with your grandfather's family at one time.

He suddenly said these things to, although this is just smooth conversation over, but always give me a kind of words have meaning, and for my grandfather, my only impression is from my brother-in-law said those.

If it's really like what he said that the two families used to have dealings, then there should be some understanding of my grandfather's affairs, so the purpose of letting me come here today might not be so purely to ask about the corpse, but rather want to pry any news from me.

Lu Yao was eating at the side, her expression wasn't very clear about her father's intentions. Only after hearing this did she raise her head and ask her dad what, are our family and Tan Xi's family still family friends? How come I haven't heard of it.

The smile on Papa Lu's face remained and he didn't answer, instead looking at me properly as if he was waiting for my reaction.

I put down the cutlery in my hands, straightened my complexion, and said, Uncle Lu, if there is something you can just say it, you are tired of beating around the bush like this.

He placed both hands on the dining table and said, This is like your grandfather's temper.

I didn't respond, staring at him, but in my heart, I'm quite sorry for the things on the table, I usually can't eat.

Road father looked at me for a while, said Tan Xi ah, in fact, is not a thing, just recently always feel that our road family business is not as good as before, want you to help look at the feng shui or something, after all, this house has been expanded by me quite a number of times, compared to the year your grandfather to help my father to do the layout.

He paused for a moment, and then said, although I have also found quite a few people to look at it, but there is no improvement, it may still be your family is more capable.

I let out a laugh, thinking in order to is this kind of thing ah. As far as I'm concerned, his family's current level of affluence is something I can't compare to in my lifetime, so it's true that as the saying goes, the heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.

I collected the smile on my face, said Uncle Lu, it is not that I do not help you, my grandfather may be a little bit of ability, but I know nothing about these things, or at noon when I met the corpse, will not be so wretched.

I thought I had said this very clearly, and I don't really believe that the house pattern can affect the fortune, if my grandfather is really so capable of getting their family to this level, then my mother must know a lot of things, and casually do something about it, I can still live in such a bad situation?

But Lu Yao's father's eyes are still full of mistrust, but the smile on his face did not change, silent for a while, before saying to me, I understand what you mean, in fact, even if your grandfather is still alive in the world, he has to be when to get feng shui and so on, I don't think that can have much change.

When I heard this, I felt that his tone of voice became too fast, really let me some do not understand the reason. I was wondering how to speak, her father explained to me, said when you came in, you saw that mirror. That used to belong to your family.

I froze, although I have never seen, but remembered that the mirror's weird situation, the heart can not help but believe a few points, but I really do not understand why my family's things are so strange ah?

Road father continued to explain up, said he was young, almost as big as me, here is still an old house, but his family is very bad, often encountered some of the three disasters, the family almost all died almost.

Later, he found my grandfather, said that his house is a very bad situation. At that time, the Lu family poor, it is impossible to let say go say demolition, my grandfather gave his father thought of a way, said that the need for the same ferocious things to suppress the house, may be the so-called negative and positive this argument, sent the mirror to his father, the two two a punch, the evil to the extreme into a great good fortune. The Lu family's fortunes began to take off.

Lu Yao and I heard this argument for the first time, and it felt so fresh. After listening to him, Lu Yao asked me in surprise, saying that your grandfather was that capable?

I shook my head and said I don't know, but since that mirror was given to me by my grandpa and it's a murderous object, I wouldn't dare to hit it. Just curious as to what I was told to come here for.

Lu Yao was silent and thought for a while, and said to her dad, no wonder you honestly look for some feng shui masters to come, dad you believe in this kind of thing too much, right.

Her father laughed and said, "Xiaoyao, don't interrupt, let you stay here, in order to let you take a good look at how to do great things, the hospital will be handed over to you to take care of, some things have to learn.

I heard this tone is not right, feel what conspiracy in the brewing general, busy stand up, frowned and asked, uncle road, you straight, looking for me in the end what, to really change the feng shui and so on, that I really can not do, this is goodbye.

Road father a smile, said Xiao Tan ah, you do not rush, pattern and so on, these years I have been looking for people to change a lot, just …… not fierce enough ah!

Feng Shui master said, the ferocity of this house has reached the extreme, but relying on that mirror alone can no longer be balanced, the need for the owner of this mirror to give that it add some hostility!

I looked at him warily and asked what do you want to do?

He did not answer directly, but continued to speak, these two years I have also probed your family news, it seems that only your mother a person still stay in this county, but do not know why we can not move her, sent people often encounter some strange things, did not think that today you send yourself to the door, when in the hospital did not recognize you, and then thought of can be my excitement ah.

Lu Yao looked at me with surprise, reached out and pulled his father, said Dad, what are you talking about ah!

Lu's father's mood became exuberant, and his expression was completely different from the pleasant look he had just had. He suddenly clapped his hands, the door of the restaurant brushed open, rushed a few stout men came in.

I and Lu Yao are already, she shouted up towards those men, asking what are you ……

Lu Yao words have not finished, was his father a pull, said, Xiao Yao, you watch!

I saw those men directly rushed towards me, subconsciously want to run, but just turned around, was pulled from behind, I only felt a pain in my arm, was twisted backward, I can not resist!

One of the men took a rope and tied me up in three tries. Lu Yao was terrified by the scene and wanted to go forward to help me, but was tightly tugged by his father.

He droned at the men who had tied me up, Dao, take him to the mirror!

I was lifted in the hands of several men like a chicken and carried all the way to the hall. The door to the room had been slammed shut by this time, and I was screaming hysterically, but I guess no one outside the door could even hear me.

I was carried in front of the mirror, my face was red and my veins were rippling on my forehead. I struggled hard, but how could I escape alone from these few men!

Lu Yao yelled in panic from the side, she was now being pulled by a man and was equally unable to move.

And her father walked right up to me with a knife in his hand, a grim smile on his face, and said Sorry about that, I wanted to treat you to a road trip meal, but I just couldn't wait myself.

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand lifted and slashed down violently!

I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and my eyes opened so wide that they were almost distorted.

And the blade of the knife brushed past my throat, and blood spurted out, coloring the mirror red. Before I dissipated my consciousness, all I could hear in my ears was Lu Yao's yelling, and my half cut neck in the mirror ……
