Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chater 1003

Chater 1003

Zachary Trembly went back to the room connected to the kitchen. This room did not have a door; it only had entrances to the kitchen and the living room. He simply peered into the dim and quiet room. He did not see anything. Lilly stood behind him and slowly observed the room. Daddy told me we have to always be aware of our surroundings and never let our guard down, no matter how safe we feel. Or else it might lead to a really bad consequence. Lilly was not catching the ghosts by herself at this moment, but she was still learning.

The room was tiny; the bed could reach both sides of the walls. The closet and table were supposed to be on one side of the bed, as there was less dust on those surfaces. And there was a poster about a famous TV series hanging on the wall. Other than that, there were some carpets and cotton stored underneath the bed.

“Lilly, walk in front of me.” Zachary was saying the opposite as he blocked Lilly behind him. He was in a mess; he wanted to protect Lilly, yet he was terrified. He felt like he might have split personalities. Lilly smirked and said, “Alright, I’ll do it.” But she did not move. They were barely moving in the same spot. But Lilly waited for him patiently. Zachary said, “Lilly…” She answered, “I’m here!”

Lilly is becoming naughty like her father. Sigh, I miss her three-year-old self. She’s innocent, and she couldn’t really speak back then. And she depended on me a lot. Pablo was getting upset as he thought about it, and then he kicked Zachary. He was suddenly pushed to bed! He looked back but realized there was no one but Lilly. Did Lilly kick me? No, it shouldn’t be. He believed that Lilly would never do such a thing to him. He forced himself to open the mosquito net! It was empty! He was relieved, and he said happily, “Lilly, there isn’t anything here. Let’s go…”

Lilly shook her head and said, “Zachary, you didn’t search thoroughly.” He tensed up and thought about the bottom of the bed. It will be quick! He abruptly knelt down and checked it. It was not empty, but it was only filled with some blankets and carpet. “Alright, there’s really nothing here. Maybe the ghost fled seeing you.” After all, Lilly is powerful!

But Lilly still shook her head and said, “You still didn’t look everywhere yet.” He was losing it; he was sure he had searched everywhere! He did not realize that Lilly and Pablo had actually brought him straight away to train on the field. He was not ready at all. He only thought that he was here to protect Lilly, so he volunteered to search for the ghost for her. He thought to himself, Where did I not search yet?

He looked around, and there was nothing but the bed in this room. Can it be on the ceiling? He looked up and only saw an old-style beam on top, but there was no spirit. He then glanced over to the top of the mosquito net, and he looked right into a swollen human face! He could only see a pair of eyes as she was hiding behind them; her face was extremely pale. Her eyes and skin looked like they were steaming, and her hair was blown up. And she tucked some in behind her ears. And her hair was wet, as if it had been soaked in water or she had sweated a lot. Zachary looked downward and realized that her clothes were wet and sticking to her skin. He could tell that the woman’s entire body was swollen, and her position was weird. And he thought of the iron pot and the barrel. He suddenly thought to himself, Steaming people.

The female spirit stared at him, and he stared back until the spirit thought to herself, This kid… Isn’t he the most timid? He looked like he was scared to death just now. Did he put on a show? She almost could not hold eye contact.
