Chapter 47
Lu Yao quickly calmed down. She stared blankly at the food in front of her, but fortunately she didn't show too much emotion.
Mr. Lu didn't notice Lu Yao's abnormality. All his interest was still on me. He asked me with a smile on his face, "Tan Xi, do you think the feng shui of my house is very good?"
I still pretended to know everything and said, "Let me be frank, uncle. Although your house has good fortune, I think the layout of the house is too fierce, so the fierceness of the mirror can no longer completely suppress it. If this continues for a long time, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing!"
He pretended to be anxious and asked me, is there no way to save it?
I nodded, sighed, and said, yes, and it's very simple. It requires a drop of blood from the mirror's owner. Blood is an evil thing, and that's enough.
I used almost all the words I remembered from horror novels and movies, just to make it more suspenseful, thinking that if I really had to use a knife, a drop of blood would be better than seeing me being cut by the knife. But I didn't know whether the old man believed it or not.
Sure enough, a puzzled expression appeared on his face and he asked me if one drop was enough.
I quickly struck while the iron was hot, saying that if it was someone else's blood, a basin would not be enough, but because it was the mirror owner's blood, the effect was different, one drop was enough! And the mirror owner had to be alive, so that the blood would not lose its effectiveness.
I said at the end, adding an insurance policy to myself. I don't know what those who came to help him arrange the Feng Shui told him, but based on my previous deception, I think it can shake him a little. Anyway, I shed a drop of blood on the mirror. Even if it doesn't work, I can still say that the Feng Shui has changed, and the luck is slowly getting better. There is no need to rush now.
Father Lu hesitated for a moment and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about what I said. I thought, if he was not sure, he might be willing to try my method. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to kill me and get my blood.
Finally, he smiled faintly and said to me, after all, your grandfather is very capable, I will trust you this time. If it is as useful as you said, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.
I smiled and thanked him repeatedly. He suddenly frowned again and said, "But I am not the owner of this mirror..."
I pretended to be surprised and said that since this mirror is yours, you are the owner of the mirror, so how could there be someone else?
He rubbed his hands on the table and thought for a while before telling me the story of how my grandfather lent the mirror to the Lu family to protect their home. I was even more surprised and said that my grandfather and his family were all gone, so the mirror was mine!
He said "hmm", and Lu Yao looked up at him. He hadn't sent her a message since he replied to her text message. I don't know what he was thinking. But I can see that after her father pointed the mirror at me, Lu Yao has guessed some of the reasons why her father asked me to come today, but they are father and daughter after all, and they have never done anything to let each other down, so it's probably a bit unimaginable for her to doubt her father.
Mr. Lu's eyes changed again and again, and his eyes seemed to be emitting light. He looked at me carefully and said, Tan Xi, now it depends on whether you can help my family with this favor.
I stood up quickly, smiled and tried to pull his hand, saying, "Uncle Lu, what are you talking about? If it weren't for Lu Yao, we would have been in trouble ." Now, don't even mention that you asked me to do it. Even if you didn't say it, I would definitely agree. It's just a drop of blood, it's not worth anything!
When his father heard this, he was very happy and couldn't help clapping his hands. As a result, those strong men suddenly rushed in, and no one knew where they had been hiding.
Lu Yao was so scared that he screamed and asked who they were.
I also pretended to be very panicked, looking at them with horror, wondering how this old guy would explain.
Unexpectedly, he was calmer than anyone else. He quickly comforted Lu Yao and me, saying, "Oh, these are the coaches I invited to teach me fitness. I haven't exercised for a long time and need to exercise."
Lu Yao glanced at me, and it was obvious that she didn't believe her father's words, because these people looked ferocious and they were not good people. I could see that she was a little nervous, so I laughed to break the awkward situation and said, "So that's how it is. Even I don't exercise much after work. Uncle Lu, you must be much busier than me, and you need to exercise well."
The old man laughed and waved to the men. They did not leave, but came over and stood behind him , looking at me carefully. I felt very uneasy. I thought things were going well, but the old man called these people in. It seemed that he had also made up his mind that if the method I said didn't work, he would continue to use his previous method.
I looked at his expression, and it was really a smile with a dagger hidden in it! I didn't know if I could escape from these people by then, but as long as I wasn't tied up and became a fish to be slaughtered like before, there would always be a chance.
I hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, there is no time to lose. Since we have come to this point, why don't we go and solve this problem first?"
The old man was very happy, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Tan Xi."
As he said that, he took me out. As soon as I moved, the men followed me and surrounded me like bodyguards. I felt as if I was being taken to the execution ground. I felt very uncomfortable. Lu Yao suddenly came over and took my hand and walked beside me.
I looked at her in surprise and saw that her expression was very firm, as if she acquiesced. I didn't care about the meaning of her action, I just called out to Father Lu who was walking in front of me and said, "Uncle Lu, are these coaches going with us too?"
The old guy didn't even turn his head. I just heard him laughing and saying that we were all friends, this kind of thing was rare, so let them broaden their horizons.
I knew that no matter what I said, this old man would not move these men away, so I simply kept silent.
We walked all the way to the mirror and saw that the door was indeed closed.
Father Lu took out a small knife from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "Come on, Tan Xi, let us see it."
I took it and looked at it carefully. The knife was very sharp, but including the handle, it was only about the length of a palm. It was not very useful for resisting.
I walked to the mirror, looked at my reflection in it, took a deep breath, and hoped that if something really happened after I lost some blood, it would be great. It would be best if a sudden red light shot up into the sky, just like what was shown on TV, shocking everyone present!
I held the knife and carefully cut my finger. The knife was indeed sharp. Blood started flowing out before I even felt the pain.
Lu Yao's father's voice immediately came from behind, saying, Tan Xi, hurry up, don't waste it!
I saw his face in the mirror, which was distorted with excitement. I swallowed my saliva, slowly reached out and pressed the blood on my fingertips onto the mirror.
My nerves were tense, but nothing strange happened when my blood was smeared on the mirror. Sweat dripped down my forehead, and I kept shouting in my heart, I don't want any red light, but at least some reaction, like the water waves I saw just now, so that I won't be ripped open!
I waited quietly for two minutes, and even the old man was staring intently. But as time passed, there was still no sign of anything strange.
I was so anxious that cold sweat broke out. I quickly turned around, laughed, and said that it was done. The mirror's hostility had begun to increase, and everything would be fine after a while.
Mr. Lu touched his chin, looked at me coldly, was silent for a long time, and said, "Tan Xi, why do I feel like there seems to be no change?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, you are not in this line of work, so it is normal that you can't see it, Uncle Lu, just wait for your luck to improve, it will definitely be like growing stocks.
As I was speaking, I wanted to move forward and find a gap among the men surrounding me. But as soon as I moved, Lu Yao's father stopped me and said, "Tan Xi, you may have never played the stock market. This thing is not safe. It always makes me feel uneasy. Why don't we do some safe means?"
I thought to myself, this old man is not so easy to fool. As soon as he finished speaking, the man in front of me suddenly grabbed me. I quickly dodged, holding the knife in my hand to block in front of me and shouted, "Don't move!"
Lu Yao's father laughed and said, "Boy, you are too naive to try to fool me with your little tricks."
I didn't say anything and kept backing away. I accidentally bumped into the mirror and had no way to retreat.
But at this moment, Lu Yao suddenly shouted, holding the mobile phone, raised his hand and smashed it on the back of a strong man's head, while shouting, "Tan Xi, run!"
But I was surrounded by several other people and there was no chance . Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yao hurriedly grabbed her father and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
Father Lu held her hands tightly and said, Xiaoyao, watch me and don’t make trouble!
Lu Yao was so anxious that she wanted to break free. She looked at me in panic, and I could even see the anxious expression on her face. But in just a short moment, her face suddenly froze, and she shouted in panic, "Tan Xi, be careful!"
I saw that the man in front of me showed no signs of rushing towards me, but I didn't know that they were all like Lu Yao, stunned in place. Even their hands and feet began to tremble. They seemed to want to retreat.
I was confused and hadn't reacted to what was happening when I suddenly felt a chill on my shoulders. I immediately felt someone blowing into my ears and I got goose bumps all over my body!
I turned around and saw that two pale hands had stretched out from the mirror and were tightly grasping my shoulders. The skin of these hands showed signs of fraying, and they were very cold when they fell on me!
I glanced back and regretted it the moment I looked back. There was a head pressed against my left cheek with disheveled hair and a pair of hollow eyes without whites staring straight at me!
