I put her aside and squatted down. I asked softly, "Qian Qian, Uncle likes you. He didn't abandon you. Tell him where you were last night and what did you do?" "Is it true?" I nodded with certainty and said, "There was a bad person who locked up Qian Qian last night. Uncle came to save you." "Last night, uncle coaxed me to sleep and said that he wanted to play hide-and-seek with me. I hid it in the closet. Then, I fell asleep and did not know anything. Later, uncle came to my room and thought that he was here to find Qian Qian. In the end, uncle, you stood by the bed and muttered to yourself, even smashing the closet..." Her voice grew softer and softer. She almost buried her head in her drowsiness. In the end, she did not even dare to look up at me. When I heard what she said, I felt a chill run down my spine. According to her, I had been talking to a non-existent "Qian Qian" last night? Qian Qian had been playing games with an invisible "uncle" as well? The sun had already risen, but I was still shaking. I didn't feel better, and I even felt colder. I did not dare to return to Qian Qian's home. I brought her to a chair by the road and sat down. Then, I took out my phone and called my sister. "Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number. Please call again later..." I looked at the number and found that there was nothing wrong with it. It was my sister's number. I called again, or an empty number. I called again, or... After fighting three times, I gave up. I felt that I and Qian Qian must have encountered something strange. I had always been contemptuous of these things, but the incident last night could not be explained by science. The sudden drop in temperature and the non-existent people all indicated that the room behind had become unusual, at least it could not be guessed by common sense. Since he had no money, he had to go back to his house sooner or later. I remembered there was a great immortal who often gave people fortune telling under a bridge nearby. I gritted my teeth and made up my mind. "I'm afraid we have no choice but to stick to it." I took my little niece to the foot of the bridge. Both of us were wearing pajamas, which attracted a lot of people's attention, but now I couldn't care too much. The great deity was still there, eyes blindfolded, behind his back a banner, the word 'life' written on it. The two of us explained the purpose of our visit. His expression turned solemn and he asked, "Little brother, could you tell us if we feel the air turning cold, our bodies becoming stiff, or if we're hallucinating?" I nodded. The great deity's expression became graver. He waved his hand and said, "I can't handle this. You can go." "Great deity!" I was anxious. It was about noon, so I pleaded, "It's fine if I'm an adult. She's just a child and can't stay home for a long time." The big fairy looked struggled. He looked up at me and then at my niece. He said with some struggle, "You must have provoked something unclean. You will know where the problem is after you see it clearly, but..." Before he could finish his words, I immediately replied, "Don't worry. Money is not a problem!" "It's not about money." The great deity shook his head, gave me a deep look, and then said, "I want something on you." ###Chapter3,Invite the Great Immortal "What do I have on me?" I asked in confusion, "I'm just an ordinary person. What can I give you?" "You don't have to worry about this. Do you agree or not?" The great deity stared at me. I nodded and said, "Okay, I am alone now. You can go wherever you want." "Well, then I, Huang Mu, will go with you and show you the way!" Huang Daxian quickly packed up the things on the stall and followed me. With the help of the Great Deity, I had some confidence in my heart. After half an hour, I had returned to the gate. The deity stood at the door, holding his chin and frowning, making a few circles. "How is it, great deity?" I asked anxiously. The great deity shook his head and said, "I reckon that this thing has already lived here for a few days. It's not going to be easy to deal with." "Then what should we do?" I panicked and grabbed the great deity's hand. The great deity threw me a scathing look. "What's the rush? I didn't say I couldn't do it. Go buy a rooster and bring it back now." "Right now?" I looked at her with some hesitation. "If you don't believe me, I'll go now!" After saying that, the Great Immortal did not give me a chance to speak and turned to leave. "Hey, great deity, don't go first!" I went over to hold the great deity back and said with a smile, "I don't have any money on me. It's not that I'm not going." "It doesn't matter. You go back to get the money. I'm here. I can't do anything to you according to the rules." At this point, I could only grit my teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of my niece." She walked to the door with trepidation, swallowed hard and turned her head. The big deity held his little niece's hand and stood at the gate, staring at me. She took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, and pushed open the door forcefully. With a creaking sound, a gust of cold air assaulted his face. He lifted his feet and entered the house as if he had entered an icehouse. The room seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist, and he could not see it clearly. As soon as he came in, he felt as if he was isolated from the world. He could hear nothing except his footsteps. I shook my head, ran back to my room, picked up my clothes and pants, and ran outside. When she came down the stairs, she heard a creaking sound, as if something was scratching the glass with an iron sheet, and her hair was about to stand on end. I was afraid, but my feet never stopped. When I turned the corner of the stairs, the creaking sound suddenly became louder, and a pale face appeared in front of me. I was so shocked that I asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, when did you come back?" My sister stared at me. Her eyes were dark and she couldn't see any whites. Feeling a chill down my spine, I rushed downstairs. "I'm going to buy something, Sister?" Only when I ran all the way to the door did I have the courage to look back. My sister was still standing on the stairs, but her head turned 180,degrees, staring at me. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't dare to stop. I rushed out of the house at my fastest speed. My legs and belly were trembling until I had no strength. Then I fell to the ground. The great deity brought Qian Qian over and asked, "Did you see that thing?" I nodded, shook my head, and replied, "I don't know, either." "It's fine, we'll know in a bit. You have to buy me a rooster first. Remember, you have to get that kind of chicken crown that is especially red, chicken feathers that are especially gorgeous." Huang Daxian said. I nodded and changed into my pants on the street. Then, I draped the coat over Qian Qian and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Qian Qian. Uncle will be back soon." Qian Qian stared at me and did not say anything. She did not know if it was just her imagination, but her gaze was exactly the same as my sister's. It took more than ten minutes to go to my sister's house at the farm trade market. I just left for a short distance when I received a call from my sister. After the experience just now, to tell the truth, I didn't want to answer it, but the bell rang again and again like a life-threatening talisman. "Hello, sister." I forced myself to press the answer button. "Xu Yang, is Qian Qian still obedient these few days? I've booked the flight for the day after tomorrow. Take Qian to the airport to pick me up then." My sister's voice came from the other side of the phone. I was stunned and asked, "Are you saying that you're not back yet, sister?" "That's right. There are still some things that I haven't finished. Didn't we agree on it for a week? You'll have to work harder." After my sister finished speaking, someone shouted at her. She hurriedly said, "Xu Yang, hang up first. I still have something on here." "Wait, sister, I..." Before I could finish, the phone was hung up. "My sister didn't come back. Who was the one I saw at home just now?" I asked, my entire body stiffened. I suddenly remembered that the previous call to my sister was an empty number. I immediately took out my mobile phone, and there was no previous call in the call record. "What is going on?" Under the scorching sun, I only felt a basin of cold water dripping from head to toe, and my whole body trembled along with it. At this time, the phone suddenly rang again, showing that it was my sister. "Sister..." I picked up the phone tremblingly. "Xu Yang, where are you? When are you coming back? I miss Qian Qian," my sister said on the phone. My hand trembled and asked, "Sister, where are you now?" "I'm at home. Didn't we meet just now?" My sister sounded a little impatient. "Alright, come back. I miss Qian Qian." The phone was hung up again. I immediately looked at the call record, and this time it existed. I took a deep breath and slowly cleared my thoughts. "Now I have two older sisters. One is on a business trip, and the other is at home. According to my own feeling, my sister must have a problem, but from the call record, my sister on a business trip has a problem." "My mind is a little confused. There must be a fake sister. If I choose the wrong one, I will not have a good end." After thinking about it for a while, I decided to buy the rooster first and throw the problem to Huang Daxian. If my sister had no problem at home, it would be best. If there was any problem, Huang Daxian would deal with it. After going to the market, he bought a long-lost chicken and spent more than 200,yuan on it. I've wasted too much time on my way here. I was still worried about Qian Qian, so I took a taxi back. After getting off the car, I saw Huang Daxian holding Qian Qian's hand standing at the door and heaved a sigh of relief. "Immortal Huang, I've bought the rooster." I handed the rooster to Huang Daxian. "Great Immortal, I just got a call from my sister..." I told Huang Daxian the two phone calls I just received. Huang Daxian thought for a while and said, "I'll go in and have a look. Take care of this girl. No matter what she hears, she can't come here." "Okay!" I nodded my head hard. Huang Daxian entered the house with his rooster in tow. Not long after, I heard the rooster screeching, and it stopped abruptly, as if its neck had been snapped.
