"Ah, yes, yes, something touched me, my calf, ah!!!"
After regaining consciousness again, Mingyue heard the woman's frightened scream.
She opened her eyes and saw a majestic and desolate ancient building, covering an extremely wide area. She saw that the surrounding pavilions and pavilions were in dilapidated condition, the paint on the wooden doors was peeling off, the window lattice was half-rotted, and weeds were growing all around. Only the main house in the middle of the front seemed to have been severely burned by the fire, leaving only a piece of red scorched earth and broken walls.
Looking around, I saw rows of locust trees planted on both sides of the courtyard walls. It must have been many years. These locust trees have grown very well. Their lush crowns cover the sky and the sun, bringing shade to the yard. , there is a faint feeling that the entire house is isolated from the outside world.
Next to them, two young women huddled together shivering in the weeds about half a person's height, their eyes filled with fear and panic.
The curly-haired man, whose calves were trembling, was pretending to be calm and comforting them.
There were middle-aged Taoist priests and bald monks in Taoist robes. One held a piece of yellow paper with a serious face and muttered something in his mouth; the other turned the rosary in his hand with his eyes closed and said from time to time. Two verses.
And, Mingyue turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the young man who was holding her wrist tightly. He was observing the surroundings calmly, and seemed to be calmer than everyone present.
Including Mingyue, there were four men and three women present, a total of seven people.
Everyone was carrying a huge backpack and a bulging purse hung around their waists. Combined with this abandoned ancient building, Ming Yue guessed that this might be an adventure
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." As if aware of Mingyue's gaze, the young man lowered his head and comforted her in a low voice.
"Yes." Mingyue agreed casually, calling Feishuang in the sea of consciousness: [Feishuang, send me the memory of the original owner. ]
Feishuang's mechanical voice immediately sounded: [Okay, Master. ]
In just the blink of an eye, the memory of the original owner He Mingyue has automatically passed through Mingyue's mind.
After a rough brush of the original owner's memory, Mingyue's pupils dilated slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
This plane seems a little weird.
Mingyue could only receive He Mingyue's memories from the beginning until this moment.
And those things behind his life seemed to have been erased by something, and he couldn't even see them at all.
This means that Mingyue does not know the subsequent development of the matter this time, and has no ability to predict the future. She can only rely on her own ability to avoid danger.
This is the first time in history, but...it seems to be enough.
From the perspective of a bystander, Mingyue read through the life of the original owner and discovered many doubts.
Whether it's the beginning of this love affair with hugely different family backgrounds, or this journey back to the Jiang family's ancestral home to offer incense in the name of love, or even this abandoned ancestral home yard, it's all filled with unspeakable weirdness.
Tsk, that’s interesting~
[What is the original owner’s wish? ] Mingyue asked Feishuang again.
Feishuang seemed to be stuck for a moment before replying: [Due to unknown... interference... unable to recognize the original owner's wishes. ]
Originally, Mingyue wanted to guess something based on the original owner's wishes, but now it seems she still has to rely on herself!
There is faint starlight flowing in Mingyue's eyes, so... let's wait and see what happens!
At this moment, the young woman who had screamed before shouted "Ah" again, her voice trembling very badly: "It, it, it touched me again, I, I, I'm afraid, I don't want to offer incense, I I want to go out, I, I want to go home." The woman's face was full of fear and anxiety. Her teeth chattered up and down as she spoke. She kept making soft noises. This look of extreme fear did not look like she was doing anything. Fake.
Mingyue's eyes flickered, observing everyone's reactions calmly.
The curly-haired man hurriedly grabbed the woman's arm and said loudly: "Xiaorou, calm down. There is nothing here except us. Don't scare yourself anymore."
Indeed, except for the weeds as high as a person's height, it was clear at a glance that where everyone was standing there was nothing.
But Shen Rou shook her head violently, her nails almost digging into the curly-haired man's arm flesh. She raised her voice slightly and said, "No, Jiang, Jiang He, there really is... there is, there is a ghost here."
As soon as that word came out, Jiang He and his sister Jiang Xi couldn't help but tremble. Shen Rou covered her mouth tightly, and a low sob came out from between her fingers, making the atmosphere of the scene tense. Becoming more depressing.
However, Jiang Huai, who was standing next to Mingyue, still had the same indifferent expression as before. He only stared at the direction of the main courtyard in the middle, as if he didn't care about the fear of several people.
As for the Taoist priest and the monk, they were standing beside Jiang Huai, one on the left and the other on the right, with the same calm expressions.
Or perhaps, the strangeness today was a scene they had predicted a long time ago.
After a while, Jiang He pursed his lips and said, "But, this is the ancestral home of our Jiang family. How could there be something like that..." He paused and then said hesitantly: "Things."
Yes, this is the ancestral home of the Jiang family. Jiang Huai, Jiang He, and Jiang Xi are all siblings from the same mother. The original owner, He Mingyue, and another young woman, Shen Rou, are the girlfriends of Jiang Huai, the eldest son of the Jiang family, and Jiang He, the second child, respectively.
The reason why everyone came here today is because of the ancestral motto of the Jiang family: When a man of the Jiang family gets married, he must offer incense to his ancestors and report it. If the incense lasts, a good match will be made. Otherwise, if the ancestors disapprove, the marriage will be invalidated.
Although it is already the 21st century, scientific development is the mainstream value, and feudal superstition has long been called dross and is not recognized by the public.
However, the Jiang family has continued since ancient times, but all descendants have strictly abided by the ancestral precepts.
Because the Jiang family firmly believes that Jiang's ability to survive the torrent of history and become one of the leading companies in Province Y today is because they abide by the rules of their ancestors and receive their blessings.
So it is not unusual for the Jiang family brothers to come back today with their girlfriends to offer incense and pay homage to their ancestors. It even showed that they are sincere to their girlfriends and have been with them for the rest of their lives.
As for Jiang Xi, Jiang Huai took the initiative to ask her to come with him. Jiang Huai said that men and women are now equal and asked her to come and recognize his ancestral home.
Jiang Xi got along well with his two "quasi" sisters-in-law, and he was really curious about the authenticity of his ancestral precepts, plus he wanted to see the excitement of his sisters-in-law, so he really followed suit and became a light bulb.
But since a group of people entered the house, they began to encounter strange things one after another.
