The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 274 Something is wrong

There are five rooms on the third floor. None of them are big and the layouts are similar. Only the sunny room on the south side is slightly more spacious and has an independent bathroom.

"This is reserved for my son and daughter-in-law. What a pity that they have never stayed in such a nice room." Aunt Liu sighed, "You can stay here tonight. The child's uncle will live next door."

Of course Gu Qingyin had no objection and thanked him politely again.

Aunt Liu wiped the dust quickly and took out a quilt from the cupboard. It was bright red and looked like a wedding quilt.

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows but said nothing. The owner of the house didn't think it was a bad thing, so it was a bit ungrateful for them, who were just staying there.

After all, in rural areas, wedding quilts are the best quilts, and they are used only when you are welcome.

When spreading the quilt, Aunt Liu also explained, "This quilt is also prepared for my son and daughter-in-law. They have not been back for a long time, so no one has used this quilt. They are all new."

Gu Qingyin blinked and said jokingly, "That's really a bargain for us."

Aunt Liu also laughed heartily, "It's okay. It would be a waste to keep such a good quilt."

On the other side, Huo Xingchen followed Niu Niu to her secret base, a children's playground specially built to imitate a attic. The door was only one meter high and was hidden.

Pushing the door open, the room is filled with colorful lights, there is an ocean ball pool, an indoor slide, walls full of dolls, and a dressing table specifically for changing dolls' clothes.

Huo Xingchen was a little surprised. He had a toy room when he was a child, and it was much bigger than this one. But this was a rural area, and to have an independent playground exclusively for children, it could only mean that the person who built the house was really forward-thinking and loved children very much.

After all, this wall of dolls shouldn’t be cheap.

"Do you have a doll you like? I can give you one." Niu Niu said generously.

Huo Xingchen politely refused, then looked around and suddenly asked, "How are you going to take the doll up there?"

Niu Niu was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction where his finger was pointing.

The dolls on the highest point of the doll stand almost touch the ceiling, which is definitely not something a child can reach.

Huo Xingchen originally thought there would be something like a ladder for children, but he looked around and didn't find anything.

"Ah... maybe my grandparents helped me get them." Niuniu herself wasn't sure, "I haven't played with those dolls in a long time."

Huo Xingchen was puzzled again, "Are there other doors here?" He pointed to the door they came in through, "That door is so small, it must be difficult for them to get in."

"There should be some." Niuniu bit her nails, looking a little anxious. "There should be some, otherwise how did those dolls get there? It must have been put there by my grandparents."

Huo Xingchen stopped talking and walked back and forth in the room, confirming that there was no other exit. But seeing Niu Niu's expression, he couldn't bear to continue asking.

The child himself looks very ignorant and probably doesn't know much.

Huo Xingchen sighed secretly, went over and held Niuniu's hand, "Let's go back first and play again tomorrow. It's too late today, it's time to go to bed."

Niu Niu was still immersed in her own thoughts. She did not respond to Huo Xingchen, but obediently followed the force in his hand and walked out.

After they walked out of the door, Niuniu was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and then looked at Huo Xingchen as if nothing had happened, smiling brightly, "I'll take you to see my room, it's so beautiful!"

Huo Xingchen hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

After making the beds, Gu Qingyin and Aunt Liu found the two children on the second floor.

Gu Qingyin glanced at the door and couldn't hide her surprise, "Is this Niuniu's bedroom?"

The decoration style of this bedroom is pink and white European princess style, which is too exaggerated.

"Yes." Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed. "Niuniu's father dotes on her, so he buys her whatever she wants." Gu Qingyin smiled and nodded.

It’s not that this style of decoration cannot be used in rural areas, but compared with other rooms, the decoration of this room is indeed too out of place.

Gu Qingyin secretly clicked her tongue, thinking that maybe she was just too sensitive. It was not surprising that other people's parents doted on their children, no matter how exaggerated they did.

When I went downstairs again, the three men downstairs had already prepared a table of food, mostly cold dishes and fried food, and they even opened a bottle of white wine.

Gu Qingyin held her forehead with her hand, "What are you doing?"

Village Chief Liu laughed and said, "We have been traveling all day. We can have a midnight snack and drink some wine. Then we can have a good sleep at night and relax."

Huo Yunjing also nodded and said, "It's okay, just drink a few sips."

"Don't worry, I won't drink too much." Master Huo also spoke in a calm voice.

Gu Qingyin glanced at the two of them, confirmed that they knew what was going on, and said no more, "Then I'll take Xingchen upstairs to sleep first."

"Okay." Huo Yunjing and Master Huo Tianshi spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other.

Two seconds later, Master Huo lowered his eyes first, avoiding Huo Yunjing's displeased gaze.

Village Chief Liu looked a little subtle when he saw this, but he didn't ask any questions. He just invited the two to eat and drink.

Gu Qingyin took Huo Xingchen upstairs. Aunt Liu and Niuniu were also going to sleep. When they were about to separate on the second floor, Niuniu still wanted Huo Xingchen to sleep with her.

Of course Gu Qingyin disagreed. The situation was still unclear. How could she be willing to let Huo Xingchen be separated from her for a night?

After being rejected, Niu Niu was a little unhappy, but she was sensible enough not to force it. She followed her grandmother back to her room to prepare for bed.

The mother and daughter went upstairs and shared their findings with each other. They were all small details that couldn't be deduced from putting them together, but something was wrong.

"My dad should have discovered it too, but I don't know when he will be back."

"Don't worry about him." Gu Qingyin patted him, "Go to sleep first, we'll go check the doghouse later."

This late time, of course, refers to when everyone in the house has gone to sleep.

Huo Xingchen thought the color of the quilt looked creepy and didn't want to use it, so he took out a set of disposable four-piece suits from his storage bag and put them on before he went to bed with peace of mind.

Gu Qingyin didn't plan to sleep, nor did she lie down. She just leaned against the head of the bed with her eyes closed. She was originally planning to wait for Huo Yunjing to come up, but she fell asleep in a daze while leaning against it, and slept very deeply.

Not knowing how long she had slept, Gu Qingyin suddenly heard a series of loud rooster crows. She was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.

At this time, the light outside the window had already begun to brighten slightly.

Gu Qingyin subconsciously looked at Huo Xingchen on the bed, reached out and touched his head, the temperature was normal. She breathed a sigh of relief and called him softly, but he didn't respond after calling him several times.

Gu Qingyin's expression changed. She lifted the quilt, took Huo Xingchen out, and put a soul-fixing talisman on his forehead.

After a while, Huo Xingchen finally opened his eyes. He stared at Gu Qingyin blankly for a few seconds before he opened his mouth and called out, "Mom..."

Gu Qingyin closed her eyes and hugged him tightly, "It's okay."

Huo Xingchen's eyes suddenly widened, "Mom! Go save Dad and Uncle Huo!"

　Happy New Year everyone! Keep working hard in the new year!
