Chapter 37: The Hollowed Stone

“Yunbao, look at that female ghost!” Song Yun’s voice sounded again. Yunbao looked up and saw that the female ghost was floating towards the place where they had first visited and where they had first discovered the female ghost—the place where the big rock was.

“It’s the end,” Song Yun muttered. “There’s only the last thing left.” Yunbao also thought of it.

She tugged at the corner of Gu Luo’s shirt. “Third Uncle, I want to see Mommy’s handwriting again.”

Gu Luo originally wanted to bring them back to the house, but when he thought about how Yunbao was only four years old, even an adult would be afraid of what had just happened, let alone Yunbao. She might have missed her mother.

“Sure, but you can only stay within my line of sight. You can’t run far.”

“Alright!” Yunbao nodded vigorously.

Yunbao squatted beside the stone and looked carefully. She did not find anything wrong. When Gu Zi saw Yunbao’s actions, she squatted down like her.

“What are you doing?” Gu Zi leaned over. “Is this stone so beautiful? If you want to see Aunt’s calligraphy, there are many at home. Why are you so engrossed in other people’s carvings?”

“I’m observing.” Yunbao was engrossed.

“Is this stone crooked?” Gu Zi asked after standing farther away.

Crooked? This woke Song Yun up. She told Yunbao to walk further away as well.

“It’s really crooked!” Yunbao also saw that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Gu Luo and Gu Lin’s pickiness should not allow such crooked stones to exist.

“Why is it crooked?” Gu Luo looked at the two little girls who came to ask, “Because I wanted it to be crooked. Back then, I asked them to empty hollow out half of this stone so that it would be easier to style it.”

“That’s it!” Song Yun told Yunbao, “He Han’s arm is probably hidden in the stone!

“It’s precisely because it’s a stone that people will try their best not to move it, so they can’t discover He Han’s arm!”

The master and disciple, who had finally thought it through, were very happy. Yunbao even laughed. Gu Luo did not expect such a thing to make Yunbao so happy. He really could not understand the thoughts of a child.

Now that Yunbao and Song Yun finally knew where He Han’s arm was, the next step was to let the others know. This was also a big problem. Yunbao had a headache again.

Yun Bao looked at Gu Luo, who was standing at the side, and had an idea. Although Gu Luo usually was the intellectual type, he was actually very afraid of insects, especially those with wings.

“Master, do you think Yunbao, Sister Zizi, and Third Uncle can pry open that stone ourselves?” Yunbao asked Song Yun in her heart.

“I think it’s worth a try.”

Yun Bao secretly ran in front of Gu Luo and forced him towards the stone. Seeing that the distance was about right, she suddenly shouted.

“Ah! There are bugs, so many bugs. Ah, it seems like they can fly!”

Yunbao shouted as she pounced on Gu Luo and kept climbing up to block Gu Luo’s eyes. When Gu Zi heard that there were insects, she couldn’t stay calm anymore. She followed Yunbao and shouted. She, who had already lost her ability to think, also jumped onto Gu Luo.

Although Gu Luo was a 1.8-meter-tall man, he was still caught off guard by the sudden attack of two children. Not to mention the flying insects that he was afraid of, he could only retreat based on his instincts.

As Yunbao expected, the moment they tripped over the stone, they fell back. The stone also flipped over due to weightlessness, and the hollowed-out part smashed into the ground with a crack.

The three of them also fell to the ground. It was mainly because Gu Luo had fallen to the ground. His carefully styled hair was messy, and his white coat had turned gray. He protected the two children tightly.

“Are you guys alright?” Gu Luo looked at the children in his arms. After confirming that they were fine, he patted the dust off his body and walked to the upside-down stone regretfully. “It’s a pity about this stone. I quite liked it.”

Gu Luo stroked the stone. Suddenly, he saw a corner that was obviously not a stone. Coupled with the discovery in the morning, he hurriedly called the police. Later, he confirmed that this was He Han’s missing arm.

The day was really like an adventure. The two children fell asleep after getting into the car. When they reached home, they were still asleep. Gu Lin and Gu Luo did not wake them up. They each carried one child home.

The other members of Gu family had also heard about what happened today. However, they were still shocked when they saw them returning. Gu Lin was okay, but Gu Luo and the two kids were covered in dirt.

Old Madam Gu hurriedly asked the servants to run the bath for them. However, the discovery of the corpse in the Gu family’s construction site was also suppressed by Gu Lin. All they could do was cooperate with the police investigation.
