Chapter 1189 Knocking on the Window in the Middle of the Night
Originally, the members of the family were very annoyed at Hong Zhu's act of disregarding the overall situation. Unexpectedly, after reporting to the old Patriarch Hong, he did not stop him, but encouraged Hong Zhu's actions.
Patriarch Hong not only gave verbal encouragement, but also specially invited Song Qingshu from the Song family to go to the secular world to help get rid of the evil cultivator disciples, and set up a Hong Ying team for Hong Zhu alone, to provide her with protection and collect information channels.
Although the interests of the family are above all else, Hong Zhu has already proposed a solution. Since she herself does not want to be a sacrifice, as long as she can use appropriate methods to find other suitable candidates who can take her place, then Patriarch Hong will also There will be no complaints against her.
The old Patriarch's actions changed the Hong family's attitude towards Hong Zhu. They respected her more on weekdays, but there was still one person, her sister Hong Yan, who still strongly disagreed with her actions.
Hong Yan believes that since Hong Zhu is the heir of the Cultivation Sect, he must have a sense of mission to sacrifice for the family! Unexpectedly, Hong Zhu not only found an outsider to take his place, but also learned some crooked charms. This is simply an insult to the Hong family style!
However, although they did not agree with Hong Zhu's behavior, the two grew up together and had a deep and intimate relationship. Hong Yan's trust and dependence on Hong Zhu did not weaken because of this.
And the real reason why the two women are at odds with each other like they are now, and the real reason for their confrontation, actually starts with Xiao Chen.
Before Hong Yan helped in the pharmacy, it was because of Xiao Chen's unintentional words that she thought Xiao Chen was an apprentice and a pervert!
And because Hong Yan herself was ashamed to reveal her little secret, she never mentioned it to others, so every time she thought about it, her perception of Xiao Chen would be even worse.
As a result, when Hong Yan was not around, Hong Zhu did not hesitate to use coquettish techniques to seduce Xiao Chen in order to inquire about Xiao Chen's strength!
When Hong Yan learned about this, her feelings towards her sister became extremely bad, as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Because of this trivial matter, the two sisters became less and less speculative, and their conflicts became more and more intensified, until later in the family, the two daughters had a big fight in front of their elders.
Although they were appeased at the time, since then, the relationship between Hong Yan and Hong Zhu has gradually drifted apart, and their interactions have become less and less.
Hong Zhu stared at the phone, and sighed softly. In fact, where did the deep hatred between her and Hong Yan come from? The two are connected by blood, which should have been the closest relationship, who would have thought that it would become what it is now!
"Ahem, that... Sister Hong Zhu, it's getting dark, what are we waiting for here?" Seeing that Hong Zhu had finished making the phone call, Li Xian'er raised her head to look at the sky, and pretended to cough twice.
Although Hong Zhu had walked a little farther just now, a few words still fell into Li Xian'er's ears.
Li Xian'er was indeed a little curious, and wanted to know why Hong Zhu had such an unpleasant fight with her sister, but she didn't dare to ask further, after all, this was a family affair, and it was not easy for outsiders to participate, so she could only change the topic.
Hong Zhu calmed down his emotions, and said solemnly: "Just now I got the news that the ghost cultivators are also fighting with us in the secular world for the girl with spiritual energy. It is very likely that Lu Shuangshuang was captured by them!"
"What? Ghost Cultivator?" Li Xian'er was taken aback, pondered for a while, looked at the bungalow and said, "Since this is the case, shouldn't we speed up? Why don't we go and ask that Lin Keer now, see Is she willing to be a sacrifice? Looking at the situation here, I feel that her family is not very good, as long as she spends more money, I think she will definitely agree!"
"Not yet!" Hong Zhu has returned to normal at this time, staring at Lin Ke'er's residence and said: "This matter is kind of weird, if we just go in so rashly, Lin Ke'er will not believe us If we talk about it, we will suspect that Lu Shuangshuang was snatched by us."
"Then what should we do? If we don't take action, it will be too late when the ghost cultivators come over!" Li Xian'er frowned and asked.
"What I want is for them to come here!" Hong Zhuxiu raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If Lu Shuangshuang was really captured by the ghost cultivators, it means that Lin Ke'er is also very dangerous, so I plan to stay here Stay for a few days to see who the other party is! If all goes well, we can also use this to rescue Lu Shuangshuang."
Li Xian'er excitedly waved her small fist: "That's great! I've wanted to teach those sleazy ghost cultivators a lesson, but I never had the chance to meet them, uh..."
Just halfway through the conversation, Li Xianer's stomach let out a "cuckoo" sound. She hurriedly covered her stomach in embarrassment, and then remembered that she was called by Lin Keer before she had time to finish her meal. Here it comes.
"Hehe, I happen to be a little hungry too. You just stay here and stare. I'll go out and buy something to eat." Hong Zhu smiled slightly, stretched his waist coquettishly, glanced around, and then went to the shanty town Walk to the convenience store on the district entrance.
Late at night that day, most of the houses in the shanty town had turned off their lights and went to sleep, only a few houses were still lit with dim lights, and Lin Keer's room was among them.
Originally, Lin Ke'er would not go to bed so late, but she is now a freshman. In addition to going to class on time during the day, she also helps set up stalls at home in her spare time. It is inevitable that she will not be able to keep up with her study progress. She does not want to fall behind Behind others, take advantage of the evening to review for a while.
After earnestly doing a few exercises, Lin Ke'er looked up at the time, and found that it was almost twelve o'clock, so she closed the textbook, went out to take a shower, and when she returned to her room and was about to turn off the lights for sleep, she suddenly saw A dark shadow flashed outside the window.
"Wh...who?!" Lin Ke'er was taken aback. He heard that several houses in the shanty town had recently been stolen. According to the investigation, the thieves were all in the middle of the night, waiting for the people in the bungalows to fall asleep. After that, sneak in through the window to steal things!
Since the buildings in the shantytowns are basically bungalows, and Lin Keer lives on the first floor, and the windows of her house are old-fashioned locks, which have been used for decades, and are now dilapidated and can only use latches. , so it is easy to enter the room once it is targeted by thieves.
"Ke'er, I'm Shuangshuang, you haven't slept yet, right? Hurry up, open the window, I'm in trouble!" Lin Keer boldly asked, and Lu Shuangshuang's voice came from outside the window. The voice sounded a little hoarse.
"Shuangshuang? It's you! Where did you go? Your grandma and I are dying of panic!" Lin Keer was overjoyed and ran over quickly. Just as she was about to open the window, her hand suddenly paused.
