It was as if I heard my second brother saying “yes, yes, all is fine”.
Picking up the two divination cups from the ground, Luo Yu'an thought, what does the second brother mean is that it doesn't matter what she does? Think about it, since he met her, he has always been very indulgent to her. Well, old man and young wife, that's it. But with such an indulgent attitude, over time, she might easily be spoiled.
If human desires are not restrained, they will expand infinitely. If her second brother is this type, she can only be more careful.
However, this divination cup is quite interesting.
"I want to remove the position of Shi Nu from now on, is that ok?"
"Snap." One positive and one negative, that's fine.
"I want to renovate the old house, is that okay?"
"Pah." OK.
"I want to manage Qin's company, too?"
"Pah." OK.
Are all these possible? Luo Yu'an thought about it again and said, "I want to live somewhere else alone for a few years."
"Crack." No.
Luo Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his second brother still said no. He still had a bottom line. He felt relieved.
She put away the divination cups contentedly, "I won't move out, so my second brother needs to come out earlier."
The entire old house was built in the forest, and there were lush ancient trees in the courtyard. Qin Zhi and Ming Hui walked side by side under the ancient wood path. There were often flowering vines hanging from the trees around them, swaying slowly in the wind. The birds were singing loudly in the forest, and there was a sense of seclusion and tranquility.
"The sun is about to set, let me take you back to rest." Qin Zhi said.
"Yeah." Ming Hui looked up at him.
As they walked back, Qin Zhi casually said, "I feel like the Madam has some opinion about me. She doesn't seem to like me very much."
Ming Hui chuckled, not knowing what she was thinking of. She said with envy, "That's normal. Sister An has this attitude towards all men except Shi Shen. She only has Shi Shen in her heart."
Qin Zhi was silent, and then said: "I think it may be because when he first met me, he saw me and Liang Wenye arguing, so he has a problem with me. It may also be because of my identity. In the clan... Madam should know about my branch."
Ming Hui: "Sister An did ask, but I don't know whether she knows the specific situation. Oh, by the way, she has been to the ancestral hall before and should have looked through the family tree, so she may know."
Qin Zhi showed a painful expression, "They say that our branch offended the clan god in the past, which is why we ended up like this. Madam cares about the clan god, so she is biased against me. I can feel it."
"Don't say that. No matter what your branch did in the past, it has nothing to do with you now." Ming Hui said seriously: "But if it is really as you guessed, then you should go to Sister An less often and don't go around the shrine. Otherwise, if she really has a problem with you, I can't protect you."
Qin Zhi: “???” This answer is different from what I expected.
He controlled his expression and agreed, but he felt uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. She said she liked him, but when she heard that he was disliked by Lady Ujigami because of his background, she was unwilling to share the same hatred with him and was unwilling to help him change everything. Instead, she asked him to avoid her. Is this considered love? The love of these little girls is really useless.
Qin Zhi said goodbye to Ming Hui and slowly walked back to his room, thinking about what to do next.
The guarding job in the old house is easy, because there is a clan god guarding here and everyone is very honest, so the Qin clan members who come here basically come to pay homage to the clan god up close, and some come here to strengthen their bodies - living with the clan god for a long time will naturally improve your body, otherwise the Qin clan would not have so many healthy and old elders.
These elders, who are very old and have experienced decades of turmoil and prosperity, are highly respected by the clan members. However, in Qin Zhi's view, they are all old thieves who are still alive. It is because of them that the Qin family is becoming increasingly corrupt.
Of course, the biggest culprit is Shishen. He is the shadow hanging over the Qin family, the man-eating devil that has become a cage and imprisoned everyone.
All those who wanted to escape from his control, such as his ancestors, were devoured. Even if his branch survived by chance, they were cursed by the clan god and everyone died early and became sick. He also used the "blessing" of infants to control the minds of the Qin clan members who held power for generations. He ruthlessly eliminated the clan members who resisted him and controlled their minds. How could this be a god? It was clearly an evil ghost!
One day, he will reveal the true face of Ujigami and find a way to make him completely extinct, so that the tragedy of more than two hundred years ago will never happen again. The new era has already arrived, and they no longer need this sad product of the old era.
As he walked into the house with a sullen face, a black cat lightly flew over the eaves, stepped on the dark blue tiles, and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
Luo Yu'an carried a kettle to water the flowers and plants in the yard. In the past, she only had a balcony where she could show her talents, but now she has a whole yard to take care of. It won't be long before she becomes a master of gardening.
While watering the plants, she suddenly felt someone was watching her. Looking up, she saw a black cat squatting on the wall.
Small animals often appear in the old house, such as birds, squirrels, foxes and so on. After all, these are very common in the forest. Before, a sika deer leisurely broke into the yard and was finally sent out by several guards.
But she had never seen a cat here before. This black cat gave her a very strange feeling. Its eyes were staring at her, reminding her of the time when she was in Yulin District Prison, before she was chosen as a sacrifice by the Qin family. The black cat's tail swept across her legs, and she was suddenly noticed even though she was standing at the back of the crowd. It appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly.
Is this black cat the one I saw before
The black cat jumped off the wall and walked towards her with graceful steps. It leaped up and stepped on the red camellia that had just been transplanted in front of her. The not-so-thick branches were almost broken by it.
Luo Yu'an took a look, put down the kettle, raised his hand to pick up the mysterious and elegant black cat, and placed it on a large rock on the side to prevent it from crushing his second brother's flowers.
The black cat swung its tail and stayed quietly on the big rock. Suddenly, it spoke in human language.
"Do you want to know the original ending of Qin's God?"
Luo Yu'an: "... cats can talk?"
Humans' reactions are really consistent. They have encountered even stranger things before, but they are still surprised by cats talking. The black cat slowly swung its tail and said, "Want to see what this place would look like if you hadn't shown up?"
Luo Yu'an tried to interpret the black cat's words and asked it, "You can let me see those? What's your purpose?"
The black cat smiled strangely and leaped forward. Luo Yu'an subconsciously raised her hand to step back, but it was no use. The black cat passed through her hand and its illusory body passed over her head. At that moment, Luo Yu'an's eyes blurred and the surroundings had changed.
Is this... the gate of the old house? She was surprised to find herself standing in front of the gate of the old house, her translucent body like a ghost.
The gate of this old house is very dilapidated, as if no one has used and maintained it for many years. The delicate carvings have decayed, the red paint has peeled off, and it has been eroded by wind and rain, and there are traces of fire.
She looked at the half-collapsed door and was about to go in when she heard a burst of intense music accompanied by the rumble of a car coming from afar. She waited for a while and saw a flashy car whizzing down the road. Four young strangers, two men and two women, got out of the car and walked towards her, talking and laughing.
"Wow, this is the Qin family's old house? We actually found it! We are so awesome!"
"Look at this door. Wow, it's so big. It must be a wealthy family in the past. Oh, do you think there are some antiques hidden in here? If we can find them, wouldn't we be rich?"
"Hiss, no, don't you feel the chilly wind? It really feels like a haunted house... Why is there no signal? I'm ready to broadcast live!"
"It's normal. In this deep forest, we can't even find the road, let alone the signal. Come on, get in the car, and drive straight in."
Luo Yu'an watched them get back in the car, and with the dynamic music, he cheered and drove into the old house, completely smashing the only remaining door. Seeing the door panel being knocked out, several young people laughed together.
"Oh yeah~"
“Go, go, go!”
Following behind them, Luo Yu'an frowned tightly, looking at everything around him that was strange yet familiar. The old house looked roughly the same, but like the gate, there were traces of being smashed, burned, and exposed to the wind and rain for a long time, and it was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time.
The roads were covered with plants, and the once exquisite houses had collapsed. Clusters of trees grew from the collapsed places, and the roofs were covered with vines.
Several people's cars couldn't drive in and were forced to get out.
"It's just a shabby house, just crash into it! Why stop the car?"
"You don't feel bad if it's not your car, but what will I say when I get back after I wreck it?"
They got out of the car and looked around. The boy in the lead was particularly brave. He walked in front and kicked the door open when he saw it. He walked in for a while and after a series of crackling sounds, he clapped his hands in displeasure and walked out, "Nothing is left, just some broken wood."
"You really want to find treasure? Come on, we are here for adventure, okay?" Another boy picked up his camera and took pictures. "Take a look inside. There's nothing to see outside."
They continued inside, walking through a fairly complete corridor.
A girl pointed ahead and yelled, "Look at that!"
"Wow, that house with its roof exposed, go and take a look!"
The corner of the roof that was exposed from the courtyard wall was particularly different from the ruins outside. Even though it was covered with dust and a little mottled, its exquisiteness was enough to shock them.
Several people excitedly ran into the courtyard, and when they saw the building clearly, they were all a little stunned. The boy holding the camera reacted and raised his camera to take pictures non-stop, and kept exclaiming, "This old house is amazing, how was it built, it's so exquisite? How come no one has come here to take pictures? It will definitely go viral when I post it online!"
"Do you think we can take one of these pillars apart and sell it for money?" A girl walked forward, touched the dark carved pillar, and couldn't let it go.
The boy holding the camera shouted, "Lin Luo, don't stand there. Go aside and let me take a picture!"
Lin Luo rolled his eyes, stood between two pillars with his hands on his hips, and pulled the broken curtain that was shaking. "I won't! You just want to take pictures. Liu Yuandong, you don't want a girlfriend anymore, right? How dare you think I'm in the way?"
Another couple was watching the fun. Liu Yuandong, who was holding a camera, suddenly changed his expression. He put down the camera and stared at the back of Lin Luo. This building was not big, with curtains on all sides. It should be bright, but I don't know if it was because the wood used was dark and heavy, the interior looked dark and unclear, with only vague shadows.
"Lin Luo, come down quickly!"
"I don't!"
Liu Yuandong's tone changed a little, "I just saw a white shadow behind you!"
Lin Luo was stunned, and didn't even dare to look back. She screamed and quickly jumped down and rushed to his side, "Are you lying to me?!"
Liu Yuandong didn't say anything, he picked up the camera and looked through the photos he had just taken, his brows gradually furrowed. He clearly felt that he saw a white figure just now, and it seemed that there were long sleeves hanging down from above, but there was nothing in the photo.
Another boy came up and said, "You must be dazzled. Why don't we see any white shadows? Bro, I don't want to say that you are too timid."
As he spoke, he took a long step and walked into the gloomy building. It was not big and there were not many things in it. He kicked over the altar and several incense burners and walked out with a swagger.
Luo Yu'an followed him, feeling indescribable pain in her heart. This was the shrine she was most familiar with, but without the clan god she was most familiar with. Black Cat said this was the future, so where was her second brother
"There's nothing inside. If you don't believe me, why don't you go in and take a look?"
Liu Yuandong was skeptical and quickly took a few photos. "Forget it, let's not stay here. Let's go somewhere else."
Because of his insistence, several people walked out again. The boy who entered the shrine earlier was walking in front and turned his head to laugh at him, "Dongzi, are you scared? Hey Linluo, I didn't expect your boyfriend to be so timid, do you want to break up with him, hahaha!"
Lin Luo picked up a small stone and threw it at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Go to hell!"
The boy walked through the gate with a smug smile on his face.
Suddenly, his head flew out, his body spurted blood, and he fell limply onto the threshold.
The other three people looked at this scene and it took them a long time to react, then they burst into screams of terror.
"ah!!!"
Only Luo Yu'an, who was following behind them, saw that there was a red line hanging inside the courtyard gate. The boy's neck hit the thin red line and was cut instantly.
