Watching the car getting farther and farther away, I could only resign myself to lifting my legs and walking towards home.
Fortunately, our county and city are in the same city, and the county government and the city government are even close by. Unfortunately, the City Public Security Bureau and the county public bureau are not close by, and the distance is quite far. One is in the south of the city, and the other is in the north, and my home is close to the county bureau. When you calculate it like this, I really am quite unlucky.
Walking alone is so boring. I said to the Little Monster inside the jade pendant, " Sier, why don't you come out and play with me? It's so boring to walk alone."
"Sure, Master Jiaoming, I'm also very bored staying in here." A puff of green smoke drifted out, and Sier emerged from the jade pendant. After looking around with watery eyes, he came to me, took my hand, and gestured for me to continue walking.
"Sier, in the future, just call me sister. Calling me Master Jiaoming is too formal, especially since I can only see you and can't do anything else. How can I deserve to be called a master?" Whenever I hear Sier call me Master Jiaoming, I feel embarrassed, so I stopped him from doing so.
"Really, Master Jiaoming, can I really call you sister?" Sier asked excitedly and uncertainly at the same time.
I really don't know if he's so excited to call me sister, or if he feels like he needs to ask me for something, deliberately trying to win my favor.
"Of course, you're so cute. When you call me sister, I can't help but feel secretly happy. Sier, your face is really tender. I envy and hate it." After pinching Sier's tender and fair little face with my other hand, I said with a smile.
"Sister, so you like me like this. Then, if I grow up, will you still like me?" When Sier heard me say this, his expression suddenly became serious, staring at me with his watery eyes that could melt anyone, and asked cautiously.
I didn't think too much about it. I thought Sier was afraid that if he grew up, I wouldn't like him anymore. So I smiled and pinched his tender little cheeks, saying, "How could that be? Even if Sier grows up, he will still be a handsome guy, and sister will still like Sier."
"Really, big sister, will you marry me when I grow up?" Sier said this to me, and his face immediately went from cloudy to sunny. He excitedly grabbed my hand and asked a question I hadn't expected.
"Oh, well, Sier, you're still too young. Let's talk about it when you grow up!" After feeling a bit embarrassed, I cautiously replied, afraid that if I said something wrong, this little guy would get upset. Sigh, it's really hard to guess the thoughts of kids these days, even harder than my son Little Ink.
"Big sister means she agreed with me, right? Then I can rest assured." I don't know why Sier interpreted my words like that. I really admire children's imagination.
But I don't want to discuss this boring issue with a child. I casually nodded and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Sier, why did you go to that cemetery last time?"
This is something I really want to ask about. What happened when I met Sier in the cemetery? Because Sier is from the same city as me, so why did he appear in the cemetery where I was kidnapped?
"Sister, last time it was the master who asked me to deliver a letter to City T's City God. I happened to meet you on the way back. What's wrong, sister, do you need anything?" Sier replied without hesitation, it seems he's not lying to me.
"Oh, I see. I was wondering about that. Your master can't leave that place, and neither can you. It seems I was overthinking it, afraid that you two were teaming up to deceive me, hehe..." I deliberately said in a joking tone, but it was actually my true inner thought. However, judging from Sier's response, it seems I was worrying too much.
"Sister, I don't have a position in the underworld. I am a free spirit. It's just that because of the issue with the jade pendant, I can't be away for too long. You really are overthinking it, sister," Sier said to me, giving me an adorable little white eye roll, which made me feel very embarrassed and lower my head.
But then I thought of Sier saying that he couldn't leave the jade pendant for too long, so I asked nervously, "So Sier, what would happen if you left the jade pendant?"
"Well, according to the master, I can't leave the jade pendant for more than a day, otherwise my soul will scatter." Sier said, with a serious look on his cute and pink face.
"That's it, Sier, you should go back into the jade pendant and stay there. I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Just hearing this makes me a little scared. Hurry and go back into the jade pendant, Sier."
"It's okay, sister. As long as I don't leave the five-meter range of the jade pendant, it's like I'm still inside it." Sier smiled, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth.
"This is fine, but Sier, I'm tired. Let's find a place to rest for a bit." I've been detained by the city bureau for almost half a day.
Because I went there at noon, it's almost dark outside now. Besides, I haven't eaten anything all day. I'm tired, hungry, and thirsty. If I don't pass out from heatstroke, that would be lucky. I found a square and walked in. There were many people cooling off in the square at this time.
It's great that this square has free water dispensers, thanks to the government's welfare project. Several large squares in our area have installed these water dispensers, allowing citizens to stay hydrated in the hot summer without having to buy bottled water.
I quickly ran a few steps and arrived at the tap. I gulped down a bellyful of water, feeling refreshed. However, my body is still tired and my stomach is hungry, so I should find a place to rest for a while.
I walked around and finally found a place to sit under a big tree in a corner. All the other seats were taken, but only a woman in her fifties, Auntie, was sitting under this big tree, and it was very cool under the tree.
It's so cool, could there be ghosts under this tree? And why doesn't anyone else come to sit here?
However, I glanced around the big tree and didn't see anything wrong. There wasn't even a ghostly shadow. I was really tired and couldn't care too much. Seeing that there was no problem, I walked over confidently and sat down on the ground without any image.
"Auntie, what time is it now?" As soon as I sat down, that Auntie with a foreign accent smiled kindly and asked me.
"I don't know either. I lost my phone and my watch. I'm really sorry. But it's only around six o'clock now when I look at the sky." I smiled apologetically and replied, unable to help the Auntie.
"Oh, it's okay. I came to visit my daughter's house, just taking a break here after dinner. I shouldn't stay too long though, I still need to watch the news broadcast," the Auntie smiled kindly again.
"Oh, it must not be time yet. The news broadcast is at 7 o'clock," I casually replied. Unexpectedly, right after I said that, I felt something was off in my mind, as if something was trying to invade. I quickly focused my attention and resisted this force with all my might.
Initially, I thought it was the work of that Auntie, but in an instant, I realized that this force seemed to come from within the big tree.
At this moment, I realized that it would take several people to encircle this large tree, at least a hundred years old. What's most alarming is that it's a locust tree, which has long been regarded as a harbinger of ghosts or a dwelling place for spirits.
Could it be that there's a grudgeful ghost inside this tree trying to possess my body? But that doesn't seem right either. If that were the case, why can't I see any ghosts in there?
"Nameless rascal, dare to release my sister, or I'll have my master take you in." At this moment, Sier suddenly growled at the large locust tree, Sier itself is cute, even when growling, it doesn't have that scary expression, which made me wonder if this growl is effective.
However, the fact proved that my guess was unnecessary, as soon as Sier's voice fell, the invading force in my sea of knowledge disappeared.
After a moment of relaxation, I hugged Sier tightly and kissed Sier on the cheek, saying, "Sier, you're amazing. You're even more capable than I thought. I never expected that someone as young as you could have such great energy. It seems like I made the right choice in adopting you."
"Sis, let go of me. I'm a man, I can be shy," Sier said, blushing with a cute expression on his face.
This made me feel even more interested, so I leaned forward and kissed Sier's cute and rosy little face several times.
Seeing this, Sier's face turned even redder. When I stopped teasing, I let go of him and laughed, saying, " Sier, you are really funny. Shall I kiss you some more?"
"Okay, since you like being affectionate, then go ahead and be affectionate," said Sier as if making a great effort, closing his eyes and presenting a look of surrender, which made me laugh even harder, holding my stomach.
"Sier, I was just teasing you, but it seems like you took it seriously..." Before I could finish my sentence, Auntie looked at me as if I were crazy, immediately silencing me. Only I could see Sier; now I was essentially talking to myself.
"Sister, you are so mean." Although I didn't finish my sentence, Sier understood what I meant. She immediately opened her eyes and stared at me with a resentful look in her watery eyes, then turned her cute little head away, ignoring me.
I was about to say a few kind words to coax this little guy, but unexpectedly, the person sitting with me under this big tree, who had just seemed like a crazy Auntie to me, suddenly stood up, danced wildly, and as she danced, she took off her clothes until only her underwear was left, and she was still taking it off. This instantly shocked me.
The busy little one who had just pulled me over and had a quarrel with me said, "Sier, look at that Auntie, what's wrong with her? Is it that she's the one who's mentally ill? We should leave this place."
"It's okay, she's just been enchanted by a cockroach spirit in this tree. She'll be fine in a while. This wood louse doesn't have a high level of cultivation, it can only enchant people for ten minutes. After ten minutes, this Auntie will wake up."
"Sier, will this Auntie be okay? I'm worried about her," I asked.
"Don't worry, she'll just feel tired after waking up. Let's not bother with her, she's a stranger, it doesn't concern us," Sier said indifferently.
"Sier, you are too lacking in love and compassion, this is not good." I pointed at his small and cute nose, and scolded him discontentedly.
At the same time as I was speaking, I didn't know that a thin layer of white mist was slowly rising around the big tree, but it was rising very slowly, almost invisible to the naked eye, so I didn't pay attention to it.
The fog slowly approached us, and neither I nor Sier noticed. Even the stripper Auntie momentarily stopped dancing and stared at us with blood-red eyes, but we didn't notice.
I was still joking with Sier at that time, completely unaware of the impending danger.
