BXBX NOVEL Chapter 59 - 59: Where is your Grandpa hiding!
“Five days ago, it was my grandpa’s memorial day.”
“After i went to visit his grave, 1 had a dream that night that my grandpa was standing at my bedroom door, as if he wanted to tell me something.”
“The same dream occurred on the second night.”
“Only this time, it seemed like my grandpa took a step closer!”
“On the third and fourth night, the same dream repeated, with my grandpa getting closer and closer each time.”
Wan Qian rubbed her own lips and cheeks.
There was a prominent slap mark on her face. She muttered “Why does my face feel burning?”, but Xu Yang pretended not to hear and asked, “What happened then?”
“I grew up with my grandparents, and we had a great relationship, so 1 thought I was just missing them. That’s probably why I had these dreams.”
“So I came here to buy some more stuff to pay tribute to my grandpa again.”
Wan Qian smiled bitterly, “Master Xu, 1 was so naive. What’s really going on with me?”
The relationship between the two was still “doctor-patient.”
However, a change in status had taken place.
Even Wan Qian’s way of addressing Xu Yang had changed from “Mr. Xu” to “Master Xu,” indicating her shift in mindset.
Xu Yang laughed, “This situation is neither big nor small… If we found out too late, your body would definitely be filled with Yin energy, leading to blood deficiency, weakness, and susceptibility to illness… Even your grandpa’s spirit might dissipate completely.”
“What?”
Wan Qian’s lips slightly parted, not expecting such serious consequences.
Actually, Xu Yang was not exaggerating.
Wan Qian was just an ordinary girl. If she was haunted by Yin spirits every day, she wouldn’t be able to bear it for long.
And judging from her dreams, her grandpa’s “ghost” was very weak, only able to contact her through her dreams while she slept, and even unable to speak in the dream!
Such a fragile ghost could easily be dissipated by the Yang energy of a person.
“So… Master Xu, what should 1 do?”
Wan Qian was obviously worried.
Xu Yang smiled, “We discovered this early, so there’s still hope… 1 think your grandpa followed you home when you went to visit him last time. He tried to communicate with you through dreams several times, probably because he has something important to tell you.”
“Don’t go to the cemetery. Take me to your home, and I’ll talk to your grandpa.”
Xu Yang hastily went downstairs.
He found a paper effigy from the corner and gave it to Wan Qian.
“Bring this with you. It’ll be useful later.”
He looked at Yang Yin and instructed, “Yang Yin, watch the shop… If someone comes to buy something, sell it at the price 1 told you. If they buy a lot, give them a 20% discount.”
He then approached Liu Shishi and whispered, “Shishi, I have to run an errand. 1’11 dig up your burial items tomorrow.”
“It’s alright. My tomb is quite far away. You can go first.”
Liu Shishi replied indifferently.
As they left the store, Wan Qian put the paper effigy and the offerings in the back seat.
Xu Yang had to sit in the passenger seat.
Along the way, this previously skeptical student asked many questions.
It was evident that she was very nervous and afraid.
After all…
She was about to meet her long-deceased grandpa again.
Xu Yang jokingly said, “You don’t have to be scared. This is a good thing… I’m actually envious of you. My grandpa also died a few years ago and never appeared in my dreams.”
“By the way, are your parents at home?”
“Do you have any uncles or aunts around?”
“Maybe you should inform them… see if they want to meet your grandpa too?”
Soon.
The BMW entered a high-end residential area.
Wan Qian was single.
She lived alone in a large apartment of about 200 square meters. The house was decorated in a European luxury style and probably cost a lot of money.
As soon as they entered, Wan Qian cautiously looked around and asked, “Master Xu, where is my grandpa?”
Xu Yang roamed around the rooms.
Finally, his gaze fell on a calligraphy painting in the study.
Whether it was an authentic piece or not, Xu Yang couldn’t tell. He didn’t understand the calligraphy or the signature either. However, there was a faint Yin energy on the painting, and a ghostly figure could be vaguely seen between two characters.
“Do you see it?”
Xu Yang pointed at the two characters, “Your grandpa is hiding under this promiscuous woman.”
Wan Qian stared at the painting for a while, but she couldn’t see anything. She could only say softly, “This is integrity… I called my parents and uncle earlier. My parents are in Silver City, and they’re on their way back. My uncle is in Wu City, and he’ll be here shortly.”
Soon.
The doorbell rang.
Wan Qian opened the door and saw a man wearing a floral shirt, shorts, and flip-flops enter.
He was about thirty years old, with unshaven stubble and sunglasses.
He had a leather bag slung over his shoulder and asked as soon as he entered, “Niece, you said… your grandpa is back? What happened to you? Are you sick? Your grandpa has been dead for eight years!”
Wan Qian quickly explained, “Uncle, it’s true. My grandpa’s spirit is here at home, hidden in the painting you gave me.”
The man was silent for a few seconds before coming forward to feel Wan Qian’s forehead, muttering, “Niece, you don’t have a fever… Why are you talking nonsense during the day? You never believed in these things before, did you? Whenever I worship Lord Guan or buy a wealth pot, you scold me for being superstitious…”
“Huh?”
It was then that he noticed Xu Yang, removed his sunglasses, and stared as if he had seen a ghost, “Niece… You… You… You brought a man home? Who is he… your boyfriend?”
Wan Qian’s face turned red instantly. “Uncle, don’t talk nonsense. This is Master Xu. He’s the one who found my grandpa’s spirit!”
“Hmm?”
The man frowned, looking at Xu Yang, “What kind of master? Isn’t he a fraud?”
As Wan Qian was about to explain, Xu Yang calmly said, “Sir, please watch your words… I was invited by Dr. Wan to help your family reunite with your grandpa. If you don’t believe me, 1 can leave right now.”
“My grandpa has been dead for eight years, how can we reunite?”
The man’s eyes widened, and just as he was about to explode, Wan Qian dragged him into the bedroom, explaining her strange dreams and everything she saw and heard today.
The man’s eyes got even bigger.
Having struggled in the society since he was young, he now owned a media company with dozens of Internet stars under his command, so naturally, he didn’t believe in such things. However, Wan Qian’s narration was detailed, so he had no choice but to suppress his temper and say, “Fine, let’s wait for your parents to come back… I want to see what this kid is up to!”
His words.
Naturally, they couldn’t escape Xu Yang’s ears.
Xu Yang called out from outside the bedroom, “Dr. Wan, could you please close your curtains?”
At this point, Wan Qian was completely obedient to Xu Yang.
She closed all the curtains, and the room’s lighting dimmed.
The man frowned, “Why are we closing the curtains during the day?”
Xu Yang brought the paper effigy and placed it on the floor. He then took out an incense burner from his storage space, lit three sticks of incense, and laughed, “Since we have some spare time… 1 might as well call your grandpa out so you guys can have a chat..”
