When Fang Duobing saw Guoguo sitting beside him teasing the vixen, his eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Is this Guoguo? Has he grown so big?"

Guoguo heard someone calling her name. Although she didn't know him, she still greeted him politely: "Hello, brother. I'm Guoguo."

Fang Duobing: "Hello Guoguo, my name is Fang Duobing. I'm your mother's... uh, nephew."

Hearing this, Li Lianhua turned her head and hid the smile on her lips.

After Fang Duobing introduced himself, he felt around his body, trying to find something to give as a gift.

As soon as he touched it, he remembered that he had pawned the jade pendant on his body in order to have enough money for the journey, and now only a piece of Han Shengyan was left hanging on the sword tassel.

He could only smile awkwardly at Guo Guo, "Sorry, I was in a hurry to go out and didn't have time to bring a gift. Next time, next time I will definitely make it up to you."

Guo Guo: "Okay, thank you Brother Fang."

Fang Duobing looked at Li Lianhua and asked uncertainly, "Is this Brother Li?"

How come he looks so young? He looks no different from seven years ago.

Li Lianhua turned her head and nodded slightly at him.

At this time, the waiter brought the dishes up and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

Seeing that Fang Duobing was unwilling to talk, Su Ci was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he said, "Hurry up and eat."

Fang Duobing thanked him happily, picked up the bowl and started to eat rice.

Seeing this, Guoguo was worried that he would choke, so she kindly poured a cup of tea for Fang Duobing and placed it next to him.

"Crack" a bolt of lightning struck, and then the window of the store was blown open, scaring everyone.

The diners next to him complained: "Oh, it rains every night, and there are corpses all over the ground. It's so unlucky."

"Hush. This evil has a story behind it, you can't talk nonsense."

"Ah? What's the story? Tell me about it."

"Two days ago, a friend of mine was passing by the woods not far ahead when he saw two vendors being strangled to death by skeletons. He was so scared, tut tut tut."

"Is there still this?"

"Yeah, how could it be false if he saw it with his own eyes?"

After hearing this, Guoguo fearfully leaned towards Li Lianhua, hugged him tightly and said, "Dad, I'm scared."

Li Lianhua hugged him in her arms and patted his back soothingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Dad and Mom are here."

Guo Guo looked up and asked curiously, "Dad, are there really ghosts in this world? Can skeletons kill people?"

Fang Duobing answered quickly: "How is that possible? There are no ghosts in this world, and it is even more impossible for a skeleton to kill people. The only ones who kill people are humans."

Li Lianhua nodded, "Yes, he is right. The two vendors must have been strangled to death and then disguised as skeletons to kill people."

Guo Guo heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and left Li Lianhua's embrace. "Then I feel relieved."

Su Ci thought for a moment, and said to Li Lianhua: "Huahua, Guoguo should sleep with us tonight, otherwise I will be worried."

Then he said to Guoguo: "Guoguo, you can't leave my or your father's sight tonight. No matter where you go, you must be accompanied by me or your father."

Guoguo nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand."

Su Ci turned his head and said to the sick man, "Let's take Guoguo to rest first. Eat slowly and we will pay for it."

Fang Duobing nodded, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Su. Good night, Aunt Su, Brother Li, and Guoguo."

Guoguo waved at him: "Goodbye, Brother Fang."

……

The three of them had just finished taking a shower and were getting ready for bed when they heard a commotion downstairs.

Su Ci frowned fiercely and said disdainfully: "The sound insulation here is too poor. If I had known this earlier, I might as well have rushed back to the Lotus Tower."

Li Lianhua's ears twitched, and her brows frowned slightly, "They are talking about Yu Qiushuang."

Su Ci was startled, and then he listened carefully, and heard a male voice saying, "... Madam went to Shannan, and will not be back for a few days. It was Miss Yunjiao who brought us here to find the Second Miss. She is on the second floor. Second Miss! Second Miss!"

Yu Qiu Shuang said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you following me so closely? Can I run away again?"

Another soft female voice sounded: "Shuang'er, you are finally back."

"If you hadn't posted notices all over the mountain, making me look like a criminal, I would never have shown up so early."

Guo Guo tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Mother, isn't Sister Yu at home? How could her voice appear outside?"

Su Ci smiled and asked, "Yeah. Why is she here? And so close to her accomplice?"

Li Lianhua guided him from the side: "Guoguo, if we hadn't saved Miss Yu Er, would she have died by now?"

Guoguo nodded, "So, the Sister Yu just now was fake."

Li Lianhua: "Yes, Guoguo is really smart. Then think about it again, why do they do this?"

Guoguo thought about it, raised her hand and said, "They don't want others to know that Sister Yu is dead."

Li Lianhua: "Yes. Then let me ask you again, the real Miss Yu Er is dead, she can't come back to life, and the fake one can't keep pretending to be her, what should we do?"

Guoguo scratched his face in distress, his facial features wrinkled into a ball.

Li Lianhua gave a hint: "Guoguo, do you remember what Dad said when we heard Skeleton killing someone downstairs just now?"

Guo Guo: "Remember, Dad said the vendor was strangled to death, and then disguised as a skeleton to kill people."

After he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, "I know. They plan to frame Sister Yu's death on Skull. In this way, the murderer can get away with it."

Su Ci touched Guoguo's head and said, "Oh, our Guoguo is so smart."
