Chapter 376 New Year’s Eve Treats (12)

On New Year's Eve, the first day of the annual holiday, Wen Mingtang finally saw the glutinous rice balls that he had not seen for several days.

In just a few days, Tangyuan's face has lost a lot of weight visibly to the naked eye, and his eyes that used to be full of energy seemed to have lost their sparkle. When he saw Wen Mingtang, Tangyuan, who was sitting on the futon wearing hemp and mourning, grinned. He tried to force a smile out of his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, before he could squeeze out a smile, the tears in his eyes fell first.

It is really difficult to force yourself to laugh when you clearly want to cry.

Wen Mingtang sighed, walked over and hugged Tangyuan. Seeing Tangyuan burying his head in her arms and sobbing softly, he reached out and patted Tangyuan's back to comfort her.

He buried his head and cried, which released a lot of the emotions that had been suppressed and accumulated in his heart for the past few days.

After crying enough, Tangyuan sobbed: "Master Wen, I..."

"I don't have to." Wen Mingtang patted Tangyuan on the back, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Tangyuan's face, and said, "I will be here to accompany you these days."

As if a person floating in the water suddenly caught a piece of driftwood, Tangyuan felt relieved. She obediently let Wen Mingtang wipe her face while leading Wen Mingtang to kowtow in front of the futon.

"Ah Bing has been with me for a few days. He was called away by his family last night." Tangyuan walked to the futon and knelt down. After kowtowing to Lao Yuan's coffin, he stood up and said to Wen Mingtang, "I know Yes, he stays here every day, and although his family won’t say it, they are not very happy either.”

After Lao Yuan left, Tangyuan grew up a lot overnight and learned to appreciate the world.

Wen Mingtang kowtowed behind the glutinous rice balls, then stood up. When he raised his eyes, he saw Lao Yuan lying in the coffin as if he was asleep.

Seeing this scene, Wen Mingtang's head suddenly pounded, and the scene of "himself" lying in the coffin in the dream suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The girl and mother-in-law strangled "her" with her white silk, and Wen Mingtang felt her throat suddenly tighten, as if an invisible hand suddenly raised its hand and strangled her throat, leaving her breathless.

She wanted to breathe, kicking and struggling like a dying person's instinct to survive. She desperately grabbed Bai Ling who was holding her throat with her hands and feet and struggled hard.

The struggle was extremely long, and she didn't know how long she kicked hard. Finally, she tore away the corner of Bai Ling that was holding her throat. She opened her mouth wide and tried to force out a sound from her throat: "Help..."

The moment she exclaimed, cold wind mixed with snow flakes poured towards her from all directions. As the cold wind and snow flakes poured in, the sky and the earth began to shake violently. All the scenery and people in front of them, the overwhelming paper money and charcoal basins, the girl who was strangling her with Bai Ling, and the Bai Ling strangling her throat began to It quickly shattered and collapsed.

There seemed to be countless bright lights pouring in from outside the mourning hall. The scenes in her mind flashed quickly like a horse. The white silk holding her throat broke into pieces. Someone wrapped her around behind and clasped her waist. With both hands, forcefully pull her hands away from her body. Wen Mingtang's thoughts seemed to be suddenly pulled back from his soul wandering. When he looked up, he saw Tang Yuan, A Bing, Liu Yuan, and Bai Zhu standing not far away, looking at him in shock.

An urgent voice came from behind: "What are you doing standing still? Call the doctor!"

The voice was very familiar. The heat she exhaled when she spoke spread to her body, and the "cold snow flakes" that had frozen her body began to melt because of the warmth.

His body seemed to be able to move. Wen Mingtang turned around to see the person holding him behind him, but a strong sense of tiredness suddenly came over him at this moment.

Her vision went dark and she fell down.

Although Wen Mingtang fell suddenly, for Lin Fei, who was holding her hand behind him, catching the girl was just a matter of convenience.

Looking at the people who were still stunned, Lin Fei supported the girl and shouted: "What are you still doing? Take my waist badge and invite Dr. Zhou here." As he said this, he tore off the waistband. The falling line of the card was thrown towards Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.

This stern shout finally woke up everyone who was still in shock.

Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu didn't have time to kowtow to Old Yuan in front of the futon. They took the waist badge thrown by Lin Fei and immediately turned around and walked out of Yuan's house quickly.

After a while of hurriedly placing the girl into Tangyuan's room, everyone exited Tangyuan's room.

It wasn't until they left the yard that everyone talked about what had just happened.

"What's going on?" Until now, everyone was still a little frightened when they thought of the scene they just saw.

Although today is New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the annual holiday for them, so they came over together.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked to the door of Yuan's house, he heard a scream coming from inside.

The scream sounded so familiar, it was Tangyuan's.

They were startled and hurriedly walked inside, but what they saw was that Master Wen, who had always been steady in the past, was standing in front of Lao Yuan's coffin in a daze, grabbing his own throat with both hands and pinching him desperately. Standing a few steps away was Tangyuan who was stunned by this scene.

Thinking he was frightened by Master Wen's actions, Tang Yuan let out a scream.

Although Zi Mo Yu was a man of strange powers and the cases of "pretending to be a ghost" that they uncovered were ultimately found to be the work of human beings, Master Wen's behavior of standing in the mourning hall and grabbing his own throat really surprised them at first sight. Startled.

For a moment, they just looked at Master Wen in shock. No one moved. Lin Shaoqing, who was walking at the end, came in. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Master Wen who was strangling him.

"It's like being trapped in a nightmare." A guard came to his senses and couldn't help but murmured, "Master Wen used to be the most stable person. He really knows how to..."

Before he finished speaking, Tangyuan, who had reacted at this time, immediately interrupted him: "No! How could my father harm Master Wen? No way!"

Looking at the excited glutinous rice balls, A Bing, who came with everyone, immediately said, "Yes, Lao Yuan Su also likes Master Wen very much. How could he harm Master Wen?"

"Then... maybe you ate or accidentally encountered something with hallucinogenic effects?" A policeman answered, rubbed his chin and said, "We will know when the doctor comes."

Even so, I was still a little frightened when I thought about Wen Mingtang's reaction and behavior just now: Fortunately, even if he was crazy, Master Wen also seemed to be quite "gentle". If it were anyone else, he would be so scared that he would ask a Taoist monk to do it. .

"I don't know what's going on," Tang Yuan, who was comforted by A Bing, murmured, "Master Wen was talking to me just a moment ago. After he paid his respects to my father, he stood up and then..."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When one of the officers heard the words, he immediately took a breath and blurted out: "After paying homage to Lao Yuan, I stood up. Master Wen is like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yuan and A Bing's expressions suddenly changed.

Before he could say anything, Lin Fei came over and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You must have eaten something by mistake. The doctor will know when he comes!"
