That evil-looking accessory turned out to be a guardian talisman. Zhang Heng did not expect things to turn out this way.
He had always thought that the series of accidents that happened in Tian Tian's house had something to do with her paintings, but now it seemed that the paintings were actually warnings. Tian Tian wanted to use these paintings to warn the people around her of the impending danger. Unfortunately, no one noticed. Or rather, she had tried to communicate with the people around her, but no one believed her. They thought it was just a coincidence.
After she received psychotherapy, she stopped sharing these paintings with others until Zhang Heng accidentally discovered them.
As for the last painting of her hiding under the bed, the evil eye on it did not refer to the guardian talisman at all, but to Zhang Heng, the intruder.
When Zhang Heng leaned down to look under the bed, his eye appeared in front of Tian Tian at the same time, making the prediction on the painting come true.
With this, his previous investigation was completely off track. The accidents that happened in Tian Tian's house had nothing to do with Tian Tian. No, no, it was still related. So far, Tian Tian was the only one in Tian Tian's family who was not harmed. Why?
No matter who or what attacked Tian Tian's family, it was obvious that they had great malice. But why did they let Tian Tian go? Was it because she was still young? Zhang Heng did not think so. How could someone who didn't even spare a pet dog be soft-hearted just because of her age?
So, there must be something he missed.
Zhang Heng thought about this problem as he walked home. On the way, he received a call from his mother. She wanted to eat ice cream, and she wanted orange flavored ice cream. So Zhang Heng took a detour to Walmart, but he couldn't find any orange-flavored ice cream in the freezer. So, he bought her a box of the original flavor and a bag of oranges.
On his way home, Zhang Heng ran into the little girl who visited Tian Tian before. The girl was standing in front of the green belt, looking at Tian Tian's window with the curtains drawn. The girl felt someone approaching from behind, so she retracted her gaze and turned to leave, but Zhang Heng stopped her.
"Are you Tian Tian's classmate? What's your name? Do you live in this community too?"
The girl took two steps back vigilantly, did not say anything, and ran away.
Zhang Heng did not chase after her. He watched as the girl ran away.
Usually, little girls were told by their parents not to talk to strangers on the roadside. So, Zhang Heng wasn't too surprised by the girl's reaction. Although the girl didn't say anything, Zhang Heng was sure that she lived in this neighborhood.
Because for little girls of this age, their parents wouldn't let them go out alone. Only in the family quarters of the same unit would she be allowed to move around freely.
In fact, this was the third time Zhang Heng had seen her, and it had only been less than a week. The first time she visited Tian Tian's house, she just stood outside the house the other two times. From this, it could be seen that the two had a good relationship.
Good friends? Zhang Heng retracted his gaze from the girl's back and took the ice cream and orange home. When he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting barefoot on the sofa, cross-legged, holding the controller and playing King of Fighters with his father. She was rubbing the controller, but Kyo Kusanagi was being beaten by Athena Asamiya. She was about to lose the game, but when she saw Zhang Heng, she immediately threw the controller away and shouted, "Yay! It's time to eat ice cream! Count yourself lucky this round. Let's play again after eating. "She tried to bluff her way out of the game.
However, when she opened the ice cream expectantly, she found that it was only the original flavor, and she was instantly disappointed. "Where's the orange?"
Zhang Heng threw an orange to her, "Here, eat it. There's no orange flavor in the supermarket."
"…" Zhang Heng's mother held the orange in a daze.
"Isn't this a little too cruel?" Zhang Heng's father stood up for his wife.
"Or you can go out and find her an orange-flavored ice cream?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Forget it. This is good. It's all natural, and there are no preservatives."
"By the way, when Grandpa comes back, tell him that he doesn't need to cook for me tonight," Zhang Heng said to the two on the sofa.
"Ah … it's not easy for us to come back, and we haven't spent much time together. Why are you going out every day?" Zhang Heng's mother seemed to have accepted the reality. She peeled an orange, but then she complained that Zhang Heng was nowhere to be seen. "I thought young people like you don't like to socialize and prefer to stay at home alone?"
"I have something to do. I will come back after I solve it. Also, your stomach isn't good. Don't eat too much ice cream," Zhang Heng reminded her.
"Hehe, you are indeed my son. You even remember this kind of thing." Zhang Heng's mother grinned. She seemed to be in a better mood after missing the orange-flavored ice cream.
Since he went to the game checkpoint during the day, it was inevitable that he would be seen by others. On his way back, he had to take a lot of detours. However, just to be safe, he changed his clothes and called Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen was his childhood friend, and the two studied in the same junior high school. They had always been close.
"You want to ask Liu Ming out? Ask him to bring his sister out. Wait, I'm a little confused. Are you asking Liu Ming or Liu Ming's sister? His sister has just started elementary school. You are so hungry that you can't be choosy. "Qin Zhen, who was on the other end of the phone, gasped.
"What are you thinking about? I just want to ask his sister something," Zhang Heng said helplessly. He found Tian Tian's school and class in the exercise book and found that they were exactly the same as the one in the photo on his WeChat Moments not long ago.
It wasn't too much of a coincidence. Most of Zhang Heng's former friends lived nearby, but he wasn't very familiar with Liu Ming. They only went to and from school together a few times in junior high school. On the other hand, Qin Zhen and Liu Ming often played basketball together. The photo in his WeChat Moments was posted by Liu Ming, who was tutoring his sister.
The comment below the photo was, "What is the standard of primary school students nowadays?! I can't even answer this question. I feel like my IQ is being suppressed. "
Zhang Heng planned to find out more about Tian Tian's situation in school. Although Tian Tian's parents had already collected information about her and ruled out the possibility of her being bullied, they were still looking at it from the perspective of an ordinary person. Even if they came into contact with some surreal things, they would probably be dismissed as child's talk. So, Zhang Heng decided to collect firsthand information to see if he missed anything.
Liu Ming's sister and Tian Tian were in the same class, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"I'll ask Liu Ming out for dinner. Ask him to bring his sister. I'll treat," Zhang Heng said.
"Okay … but if you dare to touch his sister, don't blame me for punishing you," Qin Zhen said righteously.
