Old Mountain Forest House 9

"'Throw them…' that face said, looking at Lei Xia gently, grinning happily: 'Drop them!'\ Lei Xia didn't hesitate at all, nodding: 'Okay! Just wait!' After saying that, she turned to drag Grandma on the ground…\ 'Stop!' A childish voice froze Lei Xia on the spot. Turning her head, it was Lei Jie!\ Lei Jie's face was serious. Like an adult, he walked step by step to the edge of the well, but never once looked at Lei Xia beside the well. Leaning on the edge of the well, he looked down at the face in the well and asked sternly, 'Third Uncle, didn't you say it was only Lei Xia? Why are grandma and Dad here too?'\ Lei Xia rushed to the edge of the well and shoved her younger brother: 'You'll scare me! What third uncle? That's me, didn't you see that's my face?'\ It was Lei Xia's face. When she saw it, she understood why this place had such a strong pull on her: because part of her was here!\ That face called her 'Xia Xia' in her voice, telling her that the Lei family was an ancient family with supernatural powers, and that this house was meant to contain a demon. Because Lei Xia was the only one in the family who had exceptional supernatural abilities, Grandma and Second Uncle had locked the young Lei Xia's soul in the well to suppress the demon! To release that soul, the spellcasters from back then—Grandma and Second Uncle—would need to be brought here…\ By that logic, the one in the well was Xia Xia, so it was definitely wrong for Lei Jie to call her Third Uncle. Thinking this, Lei Xia continued pulling Grandma closer to the edge of the well…\ Lei Jie got up from the ground, tore Lei Xia away, and hugged Grandma while crying: 'Sister, you can't drop Grandma! Third Uncle, you can't hurt Grandma!'\ Rubbing her head, Lei Xia's mind was in chaos: yes! She couldn't drop Grandma! But they want to hurt me! But Grandma… Two thoughts were fighting in her heart. From Lei Jie's perspective, it just looked like his sister had a headache, shaking and pounding with her hands… He kept quiet. He understood very well that whatever was in the well couldn't get out. As long as Lei Xia made up her mind, everything would be fine.\ Lei Jie hadn't expected things to develop this way. He originally thought that the third uncle he grew up with and who was in the well just wanted one part of Lei Xia's soul to break free from his own bindings, never expecting that it would also endanger the Grandma and Dad he wanted to protect. Clearly, the third uncle he considered family had taken on a new role in front of Lei Xia, and only then did he realize that maybe the one in the well wasn't anyone at all, but just a demon that threatened the Lei family.
