Jealousy, unwillingness, and probably grievance.

It's not that I can't understand this emotion, it's just that I've never experienced it.

There are only two siblings in my family, cousins. We had contact with each other when we were young, but later they faded away and we no longer interact with each other. Our brother and sister are just about the same age apart. When my sister was born, I was already sensible. My sister has been very well-behaved since she was a child. I am not that kind of naughty boy, so neither brother nor sister ever quarreled.

Of course, it's not without any disputes.

When I was a child, I also teased my sister with things and made her cry out of curiosity. I still remember that for some reason, she lost her temper at me and refused to pay attention to me for a long time. At that time, she was just a little baby who had just learned to walk, staggering away from me, but when she couldn't hide, she sat in the corner and pointed her butt towards me. There were also times when she made me angry. She used a red crayon to pretentiously mark my homework. She couldn't write, so she drew some ghost symbols, which made me rewrite my homework all night long. When I came back from school the next day, I didn't want to talk to her, but when she cried, I couldn't help but feel soft.

Those are very good memories.

But for Wu Ling...

She lives in a big family, but what I saw in the fast-forward dream is that she is often alone in her room, studying ancient books of the Wu family and practicing spells. Only when she succeeds, the elders of the Wu family will show joy, give her verbal praise, and immediately let her continue studying.

The other people in the Wu family looked at her as if they were a stranger.

I glanced around.

The Wu family members had different expressions.

The faces of those old men were filled with anger. Men and women in their prime of life pretended to be deaf and dumb. The juniors probably all have the same thoughts as that young boy.

I suddenly realized that this big family probably had very different views on Wu Ling, as well as their understanding and planning of Wu Ling.

A middle-aged man I often see cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, I support Xiaojun's desire to study abroad. But studying abroad also depends on different circumstances. The school you are admitted to seems to be a public school, right? The ranking is not very high, and the school evaluation is not good. You have not received a scholarship, so the tuition is too low-cost and not a worthwhile investment. Your grades are not bad. You can take the national exam and get into a good school. If you come back and find a job in our agency, it won't take a year or two..."

"Why? If I want to study abroad, I talk about cost-effectiveness and investment. What about her?" The boy interrupted the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man immediately darkened his face.

Another person shouted: "Why are you talking to your uncle! He is neither old nor young!" Turning around, he said to the middle-aged man: "Brother, don't argue with him as a child."

"Then what does it mean to be a father?" the middle-aged man asked.

The man looked younger than the middle-aged man and smiled ingratiatingly, "Children always want to go outside and see. I also think the elder brother is right. He just wants to go outside and study abroad. That The school is not very good, so the gains outweigh the losses.”

What the boy wanted to say was stopped by a woman.

I saw that their eyes were very similar. The woman was obviously winking at the boy, and I could guess their relationship.

"Brother, look at this..." The man pondered for a while, then smiled, "Let him go and see the world. Didn't he say that Wu Ling has no ability? Then let him go and see the world. The first few days Dad Tian just said that Wu Ling found someone...well, it just opened his eyes and he would never say such stupid things in the future."

The woman grabbed the boy tightly and told him to shut up.

I was a little confused and looked at Wu Ling.

Wu Ling still looked expressionless. She must be only sixteen or seventeen years old now, but she already looks very calm, even judging from her temperament and behavior, she looks more like a young woman in her twenties. She doesn't look like a girl at all.

There are peers of her age in the Wu family.

I saw those three people on the periphery of the crowd, Wu Aixiao, Wu Aizheng, and Wu Ailuo. They all stared at Wu Ling jealously.

In fact, in terms of food and clothing, Wu Ling is indeed higher than all his peers in the Wu family, and even gets preferential treatment than some of the men who are now in their prime.

I saw these trivial things, but I saw no sign of what that man was talking about before. Is it part of the dream skip?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the Wu family starting to argue again.

The dream just passed away.

In a blink of an eye, I was already sitting in the car with Wu Ling.

The car is old and not new. The driver and passenger seats were all from the Wu family, and in the back seat, except for Wu Ling, was an old man.

I squeezed into the seat and saw a black car in front and behind. Judging from the appearance and the people in the car, I could easily determine that it belonged to the Wu family.

The car drove all the way to the airport.

During this period, the old man asked Wu Ling several times whether she had brought everything and whether she was 100% sure. He also told her to be polite and respectful when she arrived, and not to slack off in her courtesy.

My ears felt a little numb, but the dream didn't fast forward.

I saw Wu Ling's slightly clenched hand. She was probably a little nervous.

After a long car journey, we arrived at the airport.

During the Wu family's trip, there were many people seeing them off and many people going with them.

The noisy boy was present, along with two other young and middle-aged people, and a middle-aged woman. Besides that, it was the old man and Wu Ling.

Needless to say, the boy looked disdainful and impatient, while the others had different expressions. I estimate that among them, only the old man has the greatest hope and confidence in this trip.

Wu Ling is probably also confident.

The plane took off, landed, and then took a taxi to the hotel. When the time came for the night at the hotel, they set off again.

That middle-aged woman was probably specially assigned to keep an eye on Wu Ling.

Wu Ling had no resistance or resistance.

When a group of people took a taxi and arrived at a villa area, I felt a little bit of yin energy.

I paid attention to the Wu family when they boarded the plane. I still don’t know the exact location of the Wu family, but they flew from Dakong Airport in central China to the Capital International Airport.

This should be a villa area in the capital.

The taxi was stopped, and the Wu family was waiting at the door slightly awkwardly. Only Wu Ling remained calm, raising his head slightly and looking in one direction.

That direction is the source of the yin energy I feel.

After a while, a car from the villa area came to pick people up.

The people who got off the car greeted the Wu family and introduced each other.

The security here has an elite demeanor, which reminded me of the time I went to meet Yu Xinrong, the boss behind the Gyeongju Manufacturing Bureau. And the person who got off the electric car was even more elite. Even those electric cars are four-wheeled cars, which look very post-modern and technological.

I thought about Wu Ling's current age, and then the current year, and stared at the car for a long time.

I always feel that this car is the latest electric power concept car I saw in a promotional video a few years ago. It is high-tech, green and environmentally friendly, and the price is also very high.

This may be a mistake on my part, but the car is nice, quiet, and drives quickly and smoothly.

The driver of the car was sitting upright, which made the Wu family members nervous and uneasy.

I looked at Wu Ling and then at the old man next to me, and I just thought this scene was a bit funny.

But I soon stopped laughing.

At the door of the villa ahead, a man was sitting on the steps, flicking the flowers in the flower bed next to him.

Those flowers quickly withered and withered as soon as he touched them.

The whole villa was enveloped in a strange atmosphere.

The Yin Qi seemed to be locked by something and was running rampant in the villa.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw the human heads floating behind the window and the dense crowd of crows on the roof.

It's like a haunted house here.
