His words scared me so much that my breathing became erratic. I didn't dare to look up at him, so I just shut my eyes again and stayed silent.

He grabbed my chin and forced me to turn around. He pinched both of my cheeks so hard that it hurt. Now that my grandma has been kidnapped, are you satisfied? "Why did you marry me, and who did you offend, and why did those people kidnap my grandma, and even betrothed you to me." My eyes were already filled with tears. Grandma was the only family I had in this world, but somehow she was kidnapped by someone.

"No reason." Jing Shuo's brief words dismissed me. He lay down beside me and closed his eyes, not speaking for a long time.

The next day, I woke up early before 6 o'clock. Jing Shuo, who was sleeping beside me, hadn't woken up yet. I packed some things in a simple manner before quietly walking out of Jing Shuo's house with my small bag on my back.

By the time I got to the bus stop, it was almost 7: 30, and I was on my way home from work at 9: 00. While I was waiting for the bus, I kept calling my house phone, hoping that the message on the slip of paper was lying to me, that no one would pick up, that no one would pick up on either side, and that I'd been on the phone for more than half an hour and that no one would pick up.

At this moment, I couldn't wait any longer. I was afraid that the person who kidnapped my grandma would harm my grandma, and I was afraid that I would never see my grandma again.

Obviously, all of this has nothing to do with me. However, a wedding has messed up my original life.

Yet, I didn't know that this was just the beginning...

It was nearly two in the afternoon when he arrived home. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw that it was no longer his grandma's appearance, but rather the empty courtyard.

The room was very normal without any signs of fighting or struggling. Strangely enough, the Eight Trigrams Mirror hanging on the door of the old woman's room had disappeared.

After searching around the room, I didn't find anything. Just as I was about to close the door of my grandma's room, I accidentally saw a very eye-catching red package on the corner under the bed.

I ran over excitedly and took out a red package from around the corner. I sat on my grandma's bed. There was a jade pendant wrapped in the red cloth, as well as a gossipy mirror that had been hanging on her door. The last one was a note that my grandma had left me.

"Everything is destined in the underworld. Don't be suspicious, don't feel resentful, don't distrust."

Was it destined? I don't believe that because of Jing Shuo's appearance, everything was thrown into disorder. He must have known something, but he didn't want to tell me that my grandma seemed to be hiding something from me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left these words for me.

"Clang!" After being pushed against the wall, I ran out to see Jen Lin standing in the courtyard. I ran to the door to take a look and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhan Zi Lin scratched his head and smiled. "I originally wanted to protect you in the dark, but I saw a black shadow running towards your house. I saw him jump into the yard, but in the time it took for me to open the door, he disappeared."

I glanced around the courtyard and suddenly thought of the things that my grandma had left me. I hastily ran back to my room. Luckily, everything was still there. Perhaps I had overthought things.

"What is this?" Jansing asked me with the gossip mirror on the bed.

I shook my head and went to his side to take the mirror. I was about to repackage the item when I found that there was a piece of paper on it. What my grandmother had left for me was in my hand.

I threw it to Jansing and opened the note that did not belong to Grandma. It read:

"In the forest at the back of the mountain, I only want him. I don't want to hurt your grandma."

When Jang-lin asked me what was written on the note, I gave it to him. Of course, he knew that he was Jing Shuo.

Zhan Zi Lin took the item that I threw to him and handed it over to me. "Don't worry. It will be fine."

"Relax? What do I have to worry about? "My grandma is gone, she's my only family." I finished the sentence with an angry roar.

Zhan Zilin lowered his eyes, his expression solemn. After a long while, he said, "I understand your feelings. We shouldn't have been the ones to bear all of this, but …" Because I can't make up my mind. "

Later on, I learned what Jansing meant by "we are and because we are not decisive".

I didn't want to argue with Jansing, so I took what my grandmother had left me and ran out the door. Jang-lin followed me all the way to the back of the mountain, and there was only one way in.

The wooden bridge was in ruins from years of neglect. Zhan Zilin stopped me and whispered in my ear, "Don't go over there. Believe him. He will take care of it."

He glared at him and shouted, "I shouldn't have married him, and I shouldn't have believed his words. Otherwise, such a thing wouldn't have happened, a task from someone else, a one year agreement, all of these are just bullshit. Tell me, who asked him to marry me?"

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed my arm. I looked over and saw that he was frowning. He coldly said, "Your grandma!" I don't know when Jing Shuo came up behind me.

At this moment, his body was emitting a vicious aura, causing me to be fearful. He tightly grabbed onto my arm and pulled me onto the wooden bridge. Every step he took would cause the wooden board to make cracking sounds.

The three of us walked over without a hitch. Jing Shuo let go of my hand, glanced at me sideways, and snatched away the item in my hand. He took out the item inside, and threw the red cloth on the ground.

Jing Shuo stared blankly at the jade pendant, then returned the Eight Trigrams Mirror to me. He took out a red rope from nowhere and tied the pendant around my neck.

This jade pendant was not very large, but it was sparkling and translucent. The only difference was its color, which was bright red. However, this jade pendant seemed to have another half.

Jing Shuo led the way, and Jang-lin and I followed him, because few people came from the back of the mountain and crossed a bridge with the village. The ground was covered with weeds, and we wore less clothes in the summer.

When Jansing saw me like this, he took a branch from the tree and helped me make a path. It was much easier to walk, so I smiled at him and thanked him.

There weren't many other things in the back mountain, and there were many weeds, snakes, insects, mice, and ants in the forest. I was also extremely afraid of snakes, but afterwards, I actually became friends with them.

After walking for about 10 minutes or so and circling around the forest, I still couldn't see a single person. Just when I was about to ask myself if that piece of paper was lying to me.

When I saw him, I lowered my voice and asked him, "Why are you pulling me into the grass? Is there a need to sneak around like that?" After saying it, there was no one else.

"There's a formation up ahead. If I don't pull you in, you'll definitely die after entering, not to mention that the person is inside. Just let him deal with it."

Cold sweat couldn't help but trickle down my back. I lowered my voice and asked Zhan Zilin, "Then what should we do now? Will my grandma be inside?"

Zhan Zilin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. I was a bit worried about Jing Shuo, and even more worried about my grandma. How could a person who advanced to seventy years of age be able to withstand such torture?

A few flashes of white light appeared in the forest in front of me. I tugged at the hem of his robe and asked him what was going on.

He could not see what was going on inside the formation, but the light must have come from the person inside.

It was true that Zhan Zilin and I couldn't see what was going on within the formation, so we could only guess. As the sky gradually darkened, the surrounding grass started to rustle.

I leaned over and took his arm. He started, then flushed a little, but of course I didn't notice.

Just as Zhan Zilin and I were staring at the forest ahead of us, a pair of hands emerged from the ground and grabbed my legs. A chill came over me and I couldn't help but shiver as I looked at my ankles.

His heart immediately leaped into his throat as he tightly held onto Zhan Zilin's arm. It seemed as if he was hurt by my grip. He turned his head and mouthed out that there was something on my feet.

The hands that were at my feet quickly pulled me back, causing me to lie on the floor and drag me along the way.

"Zhan Zilin!"
