Chapter 9 The Root of Misfortune Four
"Grandpa, I can't hide anything from you. I encountered a lot of inexplicable things this time. Grandpa, I really don't know where to start..." I took a sip of tea, the fragrance of tea filled the air, I put down the teacup and sighed.
"So what do you want to know when you come to see me?" Grandpa asked me with his bright eyes.
I took the Dream Soul off my neck, held it in my hand, and passed it to my grandfather: "Let's start with the Dream Soul. Actually, I have had strange dreams since I was a teenager. This thing always appears in my dreams, and later I knew it was the Dream Soul. I thought everything was a coincidence until I saw the real Dream Soul at an exhibition in a museum. It actually glowed when it saw me. It's amazing, isn't it?"
“Menghun, Menghun, it actually still exists!” Grandpa stretched out his hand and took Menghun with trembling hands. “I thought it had become a legend.”
"It has not become a legend, it has always existed. And its energy has always existed, and there is also a story about reincarnation in it. I sensed the energy of the dream soul and the high priest hiding in it. She said that I was her reincarnation and that I was the master chosen by the dream soul. She also said that the master of the dream soul was destined to be a priest and to die alone." I stood up, my body trembling with excitement. "I entered a magical world, I entered my comics, and then a lot of things happened. I almost died in that world. Then I learned how to use the dream soul, and I left that world. I thought that was the end of it. But I continued to sense the dream soul. I went to our oldest hometown and met the descendants of the wizard clan. They told me that the dream soul was ominous, that I would have misfortune, and that the people I loved would be hurt. I didn't believe it, but I sensed the high priest in the dream soul again. Grandpa, I'm scared. I don't want to be a priest. That era has passed, and the dream soul no longer belongs to us."
"Oh, it turns out that those legends are true. I know a little bit, but I heard it from my great-grandfather. I thought it was a fantasy story and kept it in mind. If you hadn't told me that I would dream about strange things, I wouldn't have thought about so many things. As a person living abroad, when I talk about my hometown, it really is..." Grandpa's eyes were moist, and he clenched his dreams.
"Grandpa." I walked over and hugged grandpa gently.
"I'm fine. In fact, I also studied about dreams and souls when I was young. As for the dream-like energy you mentioned, although I have not experienced it, I believe it exists. After all, in an ancient country like ours, what can't happen? Don't be afraid, kid. I will handle this matter. I know an association that specializes in dealing with these superpower incidents. You can ask them for help." Grandpa patted my shoulder.
"Grandpa, I'm very worried. Those people you mentioned won't harm Meng Hun, right? This has to be returned to the country." I was a little reluctant to let go of Meng Hun. If Meng Hun suffered any loss, how could I explain to Yan Yimu?
"Silly child, of course I won't hurt Menghun. Tell me your experience in more detail." Grandpa asked, touching my hair.
"Mr. Pete, Miss Wu, dinner is ready. Let's eat first. There's no need to rush." Aunt Chen came over and knocked on the door.
"Okay, let's go now." Grandpa regained his childlike smile. "The world is big, and the most important thing is to be full. Let's go eat first. As for Menghun, leave it with me for now." Grandpa carefully put Menghun away.
Auntie Chen's cooking skills are really great. This meal is a combination of Chinese and Western food, with my favorite sweet and sour spareribs, black pepper steak, giant snails and crabs. The soup is also my favorite oxtail soup, and the dessert is blueberry cheesecake.
Looking at these delicacies, I couldn't help but rub my belly and complain: "Aunt Chen, you want me to gain ten or eight pounds, right?"
"Even if you eat it all, how much weight can you gain?" Aunt Chen pinched my cheeks and said with a smile, "Eat quickly."
I couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food, so I ate with my grandfather. After eating, my stomach was bulging. I rubbed my stomach and took a walk with my grandfather. The scenery abroad is beautiful in itself, and the scenery in the suburbs is even more beautiful. It can be used as a computer desktop.
"Grandpa, life here is so leisurely and the air is so good, no wonder you don't want to go back home." I said with emotion.
"Of course Grandpa misses life in China, but it is indeed more comfortable abroad. If you want to come, you can also apply to a school here. Grandpa is lonely alone, and your parents often fly around." Grandpa said, holding my hand.
"Well, grandpa, let me think about it. The most important thing right now is to resolve Menghun's issue." I said perfunctorily. If I really came here, I would never have any contact with Yan Yimu again.
"Haha, girl, could it be that you have found a very important person in the country and you are reluctant to leave?" Grandpa suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped my forehead jokingly.
My face turned red and I denied it: "No, no, study is more important."
"Ah, what can't I say to grandpa? It's right to put learning first, but it's okay to have someone you like, as long as you know where to limit it. It would be so boring for you to spend your youth like this if no one likes you."
Grandpa said with a kind smile.
"Oh, I don't know if there will be any results." I felt a little lost. We are still so young and the road ahead is so long.
"Why think so much? Cherish the person in front of you, at least you won't regret it in the future! As for Menghun's matter, don't worry about it. I will definitely help you solve it, and then let you go back with peace of mind." Grandpa looked at me and said, his eyes full of determination.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
I threw myself into my grandfather's arms and gave him a big hug.
The next morning, Grandpa left with Menghun early. I wanted to go with him , but he refused to go, saying that it was not a place for ordinary people to go. As the owner chosen by Menghun, I was very depressed watching Grandpa abandon me and go to the occult research center alone.
In order to comfort me, Aunt Chen took me out shopping and bought me a lot of delicious food. I always had the illusion that she would not let me go back unless she fed me fat.
"Aunt Chen, do I love eating so much?"
I stared at the plate full of food and glanced towards the clothing store, but actually I wanted to buy clothes more.
"You are too thin. Eat more. Girls are cuter when they are plump."
Aunt Chen ignored my gaze and continued mumbling.
"I'm thin?"
I looked at my round belly and widened my eyes. Am I kidding?
