Ji Chengxuan must have lost his mind. In a moment of desperation, he actually stepped forward.
No one knew what he took out of his pocket. All they saw was that he put his hand close to Yun Jianzhou. The next second, Yun Jianzhou fell straight to the ground.
Yun Que'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and anxiously patted Yun Jianzhou's face.
"Second Brother! Second Brother, are you okay?"
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan. "What was that just now?"
Ji Chengxuan showed his hand. A silver needle was lying in his palm.
"I just pricked him to make him faint," Ji Chengxuan said hesitantly. "I did it exactly as you told me. You can't blame me."
Yun Que'er sighed and rubbed her forehead. Forget it. It was Yun Jianzhou who had been shouting randomly.
"Help me," Yun Que'er said as she propped Yun Jianzhou up slightly. "Let's carry him back and say he's drunk."
When the people in the house saw the two kids staggering back with Yun Jianzhou, they were all stunned.
It was strange. Yun Jianzhou hadn't drunk any alcohol...
Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan exchanged an embarrassed look and both lowered their heads guiltily.
Thankfully, no one suspected anything. They just thought Yun Jianzhou had sneaked a drink when they weren't looking and didn't say anything. They just carried him back to his room.
Yun Que'er watched as Yun Jianzhou was carried past her and silently apologized in her heart.
That night, Yun Que'er had a nightmare. All she could think about was that she and Ji Chengxuan had been discovered to be abnormal and were sent to a research institute to be dissected.
She was woken up by a scream from the opposite wing.
Yun Que'er sat up abruptly. It was still dark, but the whole Yun family had been woken up by the scream.
"What's going on?" Yun Yi rubbed her eyes and walked into Yun Que'er's room. "Did a thief break in?"
Yun Que'er got up and looked out of the window. She found that the sound had come from Yun Fujin's room.
Following the scream was Yun Fujin's dissatisfied scolding. "What are you screaming about so early in the morning?"
Oh no! Yun Jianzhou was awake!
Yun Que'er rushed out of the door and headed straight for the west wing where Yun Fujin and the others were staying.
"Big Brother!"
The two young men hadn't had time to get dressed. When they saw Yun Que'er, they quickly hid under the covers.
Yun Fujin's face turned a little red. He said helplessly,
"Xiao Que'er, I've already said that we should sleep in separate rooms. Don't come into our room randomly during the day or at night from now on."
Yun Que'er was eight years old now. It really wasn't appropriate for the boys and girls to be mixed up all the time.
However, Yun Jianzhou didn't think as much as Yun Fujin. When he saw Yun Que'er come in, he became very nervous.
"You... you..."
Yun Que'er rubbed her forehead. Did Second Brother really need to react so strongly?
Yun Fujin looked at Yun Jianzhou in confusion. "You didn't get drunk last night, did you? Why are you so nervous when you see Xiao Que'er?"
"No... it's not..."
Sure enough, Yun Jianzhou remembered the terrifying scene he had seen last night.
His expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Que'er suddenly stepped forward.
"Second Brother must still be drunk! Big Brother, I'll take him out to sober up right away!"
Yun Jianzhou was forcibly pulled off the kang by Yun Que'er. In the panic, Yun Jianzhou only had time to put on his shoes and grabbed the undershirt that was lying on one side.
"Wait for me! Why are you walking so fast?"
Yun Jianzhou was out of breath. "I said, Xiao Que'er, you didn't really attract something evil, did you?"
After Yun Jianzhou said this casually, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Yun Que'er nervously.
"Are you possessed by something? You... you're not really Xiao Que'er, are you?"
Looking at Yun Jianzhou who was almost scared to death by his own imagination, Yun Que'er couldn't help but laugh inappropriately.
Yun Jianzhou was even more shocked. What was wrong with their usually steady Xiao Que'er?
He really suspected that the person in front of him wasn't Yun Que'er at all, but something evil that had possessed her.
What should he do!
Yun Jianzhou was in a hurry.
He was not only worried that he might lose his life, but also worried that Yun Que'er might be in danger.
Right! Wasn't there a fortune-teller in the town? His stall was not far from their new home.
Hurry up and find him and ask him to perform a ritual for Yun Que'er!
Thinking of this, Yun Jianzhou turned around and ran towards the alley entrance.
Yun Que'er watched his panicked look and quickly chased after him.
"Second Brother, where are you going!"
Yun Que'er reached out to grab Yun Jianzhou, but Yun Jianzhou shook her off as if a spider had crawled on his hand.
"Don't touch me!" Yun Jianzhou looked at Yun Que'er with fear in his eyes, as if he was looking at a monster. "I haven't offended you! My sister hasn't offended you either... Tell me! Where did you take my little sister?"
Yun Que'er couldn't help but laugh.
Strangely enough, although she had wanted to solve the problem, after being interrupted by Yun Jianzhou, it didn't seem so urgent anymore.
Watching Yun Que'er laughing uncontrollably, Yun Jianzhou finally saw a familiar look in her wide-open mouth.
Well, the only one who laughed with her teeth fully exposed was Yun Que'er.
It was really her!
Yun Jianzhou finally let out a long sigh of relief. "You really scared me. I thought..."
Yun Jianzhou looked at Yun Que'er with a complicated look in his eyes.
Yesterday, he had first seen her and Ji Chengxuan acting strangely, and then he had fainted for no reason. It was no wonder that Yun Jianzhou couldn't help but think too much.
"Um, do you really not need to find a master to take a look?"
Yun Jianzhou held Yun Que'er's hand and looked at her worriedly.
"Do you still remember what happened last night?" Yun Jianzhou gestured to explain. "You and Xiao Xuan were just around the corner at the back, talking in a strange way."
As he said this, Yun Jianzhou nervously looked around.
Wasn't this house supposed to be a feng shui treasure? Why...
Yun Jianzhou shivered. He always felt that he had been deceived.
After Yun Que'er had laughed enough, she finally began to explain.
"Of course I remember, and we really didn't see any ghosts last night. But I don't know what happened to you. You suddenly fainted, and it was us who carried you back. Second Brother..."
Yun Que'er suddenly leaned forward. "You didn't faint from fear, did you?"
"Nonsense!" Yun Jianzhou blushed with embarrassment. "That's ridiculous. How could a real man faint from fear!"
Looking at Yun Jianzhou's reaction, Yun Que'er knew that he had no idea how he had fainted last night.
