“Red Flag Junior High School?” Yang Ming muttered to himself, “Grandma, I graduated from there. What’s the matter?”
” En , I remembered Lan Ling told me that you graduated from Red Flag Junior High School.” Lan Ling’s grandmother nodded and then pointed to the two chairs behind a small table and said, “Sit down. I have something to ask you.”
“Okay.” Yang Ming nodded and sat on a chair respectfully. Since knowing that the true ident.i.ty of the person in front of him was Lan Ling’s grandmother, Yang Ming’s att.i.tude had become humble!
Yang Ming had to be humble; the person in front of him was his elder!
“I heard that the person guarding the entrance of Red Flag Junior High School has the surname of Ma, named Ma Xiaoyao, right?” Lan Ling’s grandmother asked.
“Are you referring to Uncle Ma?” Yang Ming nodded and asked, “But grandma, why do you ask about this person?”
“You know him? That’s great!” Lan Ling’s grandmother nodded and said, “Do you know when he started guarding the entrance there?”
“I’m not sure. When I was in school, he was there already!” Yang Ming said, “When I went to Red Flag Junior High School a few days ago, Uncle Ma was still there! It should be many years?”
“We, Miaojiang, all the voodoo sorcerers have a special odor. In fact, it was the smell of voodoo insects. When Elder Zuo came to Song Jiang last time to find you, he accidentally discovered a very special thing. There was a special odor on that Ma Xiaoyao!” Lan Ling grandmother said seriously.
“What? You are talking about Uncle Ma?” Yang Ming was stunned with his mouth wide open. “Isn’t he an ordinary old man? There’s nothing special, right? Could Elder Zuo have made a mistake by sensing him?”
“It can’t be! Elder Zuo is one of our Miaojiang people. His extent of understanding in voodoo won’t less than mine. Moreover, Ma Xiaoyao seems to have discovered Elder Zuo too. If Elder Zuo hadn’t run quickly, he might not have escaped! Ma Xiaoyao is a master, an absolute master!” Lan Ling’s grandmother said, “So, Elder Zuo was right. Ma Xiaoyao is definitely suspicious!”
“Grandma, even if Ma Xiaoyao is the person of your Miaojiang, what’s the problem?” Yang Ming still didn’t understand what Lan Ling’s grandmother wanted to say.
“In that year, the person who framed me and Lan Ling’s grandpa was a master, too!” As she said this, Lan Ling’s grandmother’s face immediately showed an indignant expression. “I was seriously injured, and Lan Ling’s grandfather disappeared. There was no news after that for so many years. Most likely he is dead!”
“Grandma, don’t be sad. Grandpa will be fine…” Yang Ming comforted her, “That was in the past…”
” En , I know. It has been so many years. I don’t have any attachments anymore…” Lan Ling’s grandmother suddenly changed the topic. “But I will never let go of the enemy who framed us that year!”
“Grandma, you suspect that Uncle Ma was related to the things in that year?” Yang Ming immediately thought of something.
” En , even if it wasn’t him, there may be a slim connection!” Lan Ling’s grandmother nodded. “Our Miao’s voodoo sorcerer would unlikely be an entrance guard! His ident.i.ty is suspicious! That is unless he had ulterior motives!”
“Listening to what you said, it seems really suspicious!” Yang Ming nodded. “What do you mean?”
“Do you know him? Have you spoken to him? If you don’t know him, can you approach him?” Lan Ling’s grandmother asked.
“I know him. I even talked to him a few days ago, but I can’t say I’m familiar with him.” Yang Ming said, “After all, I haven’t seen him for so many years.”
“Okay, this is enough! I want to ask you to do one thing for me. Can you do it for me?” Lan Ling’s grandmother asked.
“What?” Yang Ming asked, “Is it… to let me observe this Uncle Ma secretly?”
Yang Ming seemed to think of something and frowned a little, This mission is hard enough! But… hehe…
“Yes, this is a very dangerous thing, but you are the most suitable person. Since you don’t know Miaojiang’s voodoo, Ma Xiaoyao won’t be suspicious of you.” Lan Ling’s grandmother said, “But it requires your agreement. You can rest a.s.sured that your final decision won’t affect you and Lan Ling.”
“Grandma, you are the grandmother of Lan Ling, and therefore, my grandmother! We are one family, the hatred of you and grandfather, is my hatred too! So, I am obliged to do this thing!” Yang Ming said impa.s.sionately. That’s right. This thing was really difficult for others, but for Yang Ming, it was easy and fun for him!
Why? It’s because Yang Ming didn’t have to take the risk to actually track and observe Uncle Ma. He can use his farsightedness and x-ray abilities to monitor Uncle Ma at home or at school.
Yang Ming didn’t believe that Uncle Ma was so powerful that he could discover his surveillance! Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t have any concerns at all.
“Yes, you really are the right person!” Lan Ling’s grandmother nodded gratifiedly and said, “But you have to be careful not to put yourself in danger. You don’t need to take any action, just observe his whereabouts every day. Everything he does, you record them. I will contact you once in a while, and you then will tell me about these things.”
“No problem.” Yang Ming patted his chest and promised, “I guarantee the surveillance will be flawless!”
” En , I only want to tell you about this.” Lan Ling grandmother said, “We practice every day to fight against the powerful enemy one day, but my current power isn’t enough yet. It would take a year for me to succeed, so I can’t alert the enemy now. If not, I would go to him personally!”
Yang Ming nodded, Lan Ling’s grandmother is right. She can’t go. As she said, Ma Xiaoyao will definitely detect her odor, so they would inevitably have to fight!
“I understand. I will do my best.” Yang Ming nodded. “How is Lan Ling doing now?”
“Ling Ling is very good. You also read her letter. This girl is very infatuated with you!” Lan Ling’s grandmother smiled. “You can’t disappoint her!”
“I won’t… It’s just, you know the side effects of this voodoo…” Yang Ming was a little embarra.s.sed and scratched his head. “You don’t mind if I have other women…”
“This is something between you and Ling Ling. I can’t bother with it.” Lan Ling’s grandmother said with a stare, “However if I find that Ling Ling has been wronged, I can’t guarantee that I won’t add more voodoo…”
” Ugh … Grandma, you are kidding right…” Yang Ming was scared. He had a cold sweat…
“Do you think I am joking?” Lan Ling grandmother said coldly.
“Not really…” Yang Ming said carefully.
“That’s it. You take care of yourself.” Lan Ling grandmother said, “Uncle Fu, come out…”
Yang Ming uttered ” en ?” He was inexplicable. Who is Lan Ling’s grandmother talking to? What “Uncle Fu?” There are only the two of us here.
Just as Yang Ming was surprised, the shadow of an old man came over. “Miss, what are you looking for?”
“Yang Ming, this is Uncle Fu. If you have any news, you can contact me through Uncle Fu. This is our special way of contact. Otherwise, there is no signal in the mountains.” Lan Ling’s grandmother said, “If you come to the front of the monument in the middle of the night and knock lightly, Uncle Fu will know you’re here. Right, I call him Uncle Fu. What should you call him?”
“Miss, let him call me Xiao Fuzi. It’s just a name…” Uncle Fu said with his loud voice.
“How can that be? Yang Ming, you call him Elder Fu!” Lan Ling’s grandmother instructed.
“Okay, I know, grandma.” Yang Ming nodded, then he turned to Uncle Fu. “Elder Fu, my name is Yang Ming.”
” En , I know. You are little little little miss’ boyfriend who is little little little son in law [1]…” Although Uncle Fu seemed to be very old, his mind wasn’t confused at all.
However, this name made Yang Ming feel funny. So many littles, this Uncle Fu is really funny…
“Well, Yang Ming, you go back first. I have things to discuss with Uncle Fu.” Lan Ling’s grandmother said.
“Okay, then I will go first! Grandma, Elder Fu, goodbye.” Yang Ming said politely.
When he went up, Yang Ming did nothing but the monument opened naturally. When Yang Ming stepped out, the monument automatically closed. Yang Ming didn’t understand the mechanics of this thing, but it seemed to be related to Miaojiang’s occult sciences.
It was so late. There were no cars near the West Star Mountain, therefore Yang Ming had to walk back. Today, his mood was very good. Yang Ming’s pace was light. He had been recognized by Lan Ling’s grandmother. There was nothing more exciting than this!
