Chapter 32: The Tomb (Part 1)

  Wen Baiyu successfully returned to Beijing from Shaanxi, and with a heart full of exhaustion, he collapsed onto the bed. He hadn't slept well on the train all night. For the first time in 26 years, Wen Baiyu had helped someone else...

  Moreover, he was a man, which made Wen Baiyu somewhat unacceptable, but in her heart she didn't feel disgusted, on the contrary, she felt extremely excited at that time.

  "Ah..."

  Wen Baiyu lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and let out a mournful cry. Fortunately, he had finally exchanged back with Wan Jijinghou, and would no longer have to look at his own face as a rogue.

  Wen Baiyu slept well and the next morning, there was a knock on the door from a courier. It was a file folder. Wen Baiyu opened it and was stunned.

  It's an invoice!

  The rain boss of Panjiayuan sent over the account for the porcelain shards contract, as well as their reimbursement form for taking the train to Shaanxi!

  Wen Baiyu suddenly woke up, and at a glance, she couldn't count how many zeros were on the bill.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was sitting very leisurely on the sofa, looking at him staring at the express delivery in his hand and said: "What's wrong."

  Wen Baiyu handed the bill to Wan Jijinghou and said, "You said you had a way."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took a glance at the bill, without much expression, still as calm and collected as ever, seemingly not worried about such a large sum of money.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly touched his chin, and his mind was filled with countless melodramatic plot twists. Looking at Wan Kuang Jing Hou's crippled state, could it be that he was a runaway rich young master?!

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu thought she must have watched too many idol dramas and decided to go to the store diligently.

  Tang Zijun was delighted to discover that the boss and Wan Qidage had finally returned to their original form. The boss sat back at the counter, typing away with a lecherous grin on his face, clearly having hooked up with a new girl online.

  But Wan Qi's big brother fell silent again.

  At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Baiyu was bored and dozed off with her cheek on her fist, feeling that she hadn't slept enough last night and was still very sleepy.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over and said: "If you're tired, go back to sleep."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and since no one was taking the day off today, she decided to head home first.

  Wen Baiyu stood up, waved his hand and said: "Tangzi, don't be lazy!" Then he walked out of the store, lit a cigarette, and strolled into the neighborhood.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou watched him walk away, then walked around to the inside of the counter, lowering his head to look at the computer on the counter. The screen was still on, and even the chat window was still open, with the conversation record between Wen Bai Yu and the little girl prominently displayed.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to grasp the mouse, clicked delete friend and refused to add again.

  Tang Zi saw Wan Kuang Jing Hou standing behind the counter, a sudden smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, shivering...

  #The First Discussion Group of Ancient Tombs Circle#

  Kwok Tsang's big tomb: Hey, have you guys heard? Today Da Zongzi is not in the store.

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Ah?! Who said that! Is the news reliable!!

  Duke of Jin's Tomb: Real or Fake?

  Kuang Village Big Tomb: I heard it from a fellow tomb raider, who also heard it from another fellow tomb raider.

  Guo Zhuang's big tomb: It is said that Da Zongzi has something to do today and has already taken a leave of absence.

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Wow! What are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!!

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Let's go in a group to Shoufu Building!!!!!

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: I want to see the handsome boss little brother~~~~

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Boss little brother I'm here ~~

  Kuozhuang's Grand Tomb: This person has gone mad, burn incense for him

  Guozhuang Large Tomb:

  Jinhou Tomb: Since Da Zongzi is not here today, it's so rare that I'll go too. I really miss the last time's "Huan Hun Tang", what was it called again?

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Scallop Pillar Tofu Soup!

  Xuzhou Lion Mountain Han Tomb: Come on, come on, let's get going! No more nonsense! Let's go!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou seems to be in a good mood today, with a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth. Tang Zi can't bear to stay in the store any longer, feeling like he's in danger of losing his life at any moment. Finally, Tang Zi finds an excuse to make a delivery and runs out of the store carrying spicy little lobster.

  As soon as Tang Ziyi left, a lot of customers came in instantly. These people were all dressed thickly, wearing sunglasses, duck-billed caps, and large masks. As they walked in, they first looked around, seemingly not seeing any suspicious characters, and then everyone swaggered in.

  A group of people came to Shoufu Building to eat zongzi, they found a table and sat down. Today the waiters in the store seem to be particularly few, they have been sitting for a long time without being served.

  Old Xu tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and said: "Where's the waiter? Bring us a menu!"

  He finished speaking and heard a "bang" sound. The thick menu was thrown on their table, with a very bad attitude!

  Old Xu raised his head to educate the waiter, but as soon as he looked up, he was stunned and started stuttering, saying: "Big big big big big...big zongzi..."

  The other zongzi were startled and shouted: "Who said that Da Zongzi is not here today!"

  The dumplings were trembling, their faces already pale, and now they were even more pale, almost kneeling down, saying: "Great great great great great dumpling, spare our lives! We're just here to eat, absolutely, absolutely... absolutely not here to flirt with the boss's little brother!"

  Lao Guo glared at Lao Xu, he said this, clearly a case of "the emperor's new clothes"!

  Wan Ji Jing Hou looked down at them from a high place, with his hands clasped in front of his chest and his chin slightly raised. He said coldly, "I know you're here to eat, so order."

  Zongzi: "......"

  The zongzi thought that today's big zongzi seemed a bit unusual, why let them order dishes, who dared to let the big zongzi serve, isn't this looking for death?!

  Old Xu trembled as he opened the menu, and his mouth suddenly gaped open like a duck egg.

  Signature dish

  Spicy Little Lobster - 4,000 yuan/piece (ten pieces □□)

  Old Beijing Roast Meat - 47,000 yuan/serving

  Pheasant explosion hundred leaves - 42,000 yuan/set

  Wasabi ball - 18,000 yuan/piece

  Staple food

  Old Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles (Vegetarian) - 9,000 yuan/serving

  Old Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles (Non-Vegetarian) - 12,000 yuan/serving

  Sugar Fireworks - 1500 yuan/piece

  Zongzi: "......"

  The prices on the menu were all written on white paper and obviously rewritten, with the ink still wet!

  Nowadays, prices are very high, a small restaurant with such good reputation can raise its price without any problem, but how come the rice costs 20,000 to 100,000 and one hot dish costs several tens of thousands of yuan?!

  It's clear that I've boarded the wrong boat...

  Lao Xue thought deeply, although the Han tomb is valuable and his own tomb has many burial objects, if he eats like this, he will probably go bankrupt in two meals, and won't even be able to afford a secretary for the burial objects!

  Tang Zi returned and saw that the small restaurant's door was closed. Just as he was about to knock, the door opened and a group of people ran out from inside, fleeing in all directions.

  Tangzi: "......"

  Wen Baiyu slept until nightfall. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Wan Jiahui had already returned, carrying a trunk, which he placed on the coffee table in the living room with a thud.

  "What is this?"

  "Money."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened instantly, and her voice rose: "Money?!"

  Then the trunk was opened, and with a "bang", the lid popped open. Inside, stacks of neatly arranged money were packed tightly together, bound in bundles, just like... they had just robbed a bank!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "You can pay off the bill."

  Wen Baiyu had never seen so much money in his life, his eyes were about to pop out, but it wasn't his own. The thought of this made his heart bleed.

  The next morning, Wen Baiyu had Tang Zi run an errand to Panjiayuan and deliver the box to Yu Lao.

  Tang Ziyi was overjoyed as soon as he heard that he had to go find Yu Boss.

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red as she jumped up and said, "What's with your red face!"

  Tang Zi hehe smiled foolishly and said: "Is it because Boss Yu is too good-looking, just like our village's Little Red?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang opened the door at eleven, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and saw a tall man sitting in front of his store with a box under his butt.

  Yu Wei Yang was shocked and said: "Tang Zi?"

  Tang Zi quickly stood up and pulled his clothes, hehe smiled foolishly and said: "Yu boss, you still remember me."

  Yu Wei Yang smiled lightly and thought to herself, "It's rare to see someone so silly. The impression is very deep after seeing him just once, of course I remember."

  Tang Zi was blinded by Yu Wei Yang's smile and felt that today's sunlight was particularly dazzling, almost dizzying, and her face turned red again!

  Yu Wenyang said: "Do you have something to do here?"

  Tang Zi hastily handed over the box and said, "This is what our boss asked me to bring to you."

  Yu Wai-yang took over the box and said: "Want to come in for a cup of tea?"

  "No, no, I won't have any. I still need to go back to the store, and soon the restaurant will be busy with customers. I should...I'll leave first."

  Although he said so, his eyes were fixed on Yu Wei Yang all the time, making Yu Wei Yang feel uneasy and asked: "What are you looking at?"

  "You're really good-looking."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang didn't know what temper he had, Tang Zi's old face suddenly turned red, stuttering and saying: "No, no, it's not like that, I mean you... you... that, I'll go first!"

  Tang Zi finished speaking and turned around to run away as if for his life.

  "Hmmph..."

  Yu Wei Yang looked at Tang Zi's tall and majestic appearance, turned his head and ran away, couldn't hold back a laugh, shook his head, and walked into the small shop.

  Wen Baiyu felt that since Wan Jiahui returned from Shaanxi last time, he had become very abnormal.

  For example, when it's time to sleep at night, Wan Xi Jing Hou would suddenly stand in front of Wen Bai Yu's door and say, "The sofa is too hard."

  Wen Baiyu was stunned, reflecting on it for half a day. Why didn't Wan Jiahao think the sofa was hard before?

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and said: "That... Qi Chi won't be back tonight, you can borrow his room. I don't think Qi Chi is particularly fussy..."

  Before Wan Zong finished speaking, Wang Xi Jing Hou had already spoken up and said: "I don't like sleeping in other people's beds."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's heart was like a massive explosion of fire and earth colliding, what did you mean by that, are you used to sleeping in my bed?!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou saw him not speaking for half a day, his face without any expression, lightly said: "I want to sleep with you."

  "Wait, wait......"

  Wen Baiyu covered his face with one hand, "Don't be so cute, okay?" He suddenly felt his old face burning red, thinking of that day on the train when they helped each other out. Suddenly, he felt a little tight below, and it was a bit subtle.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou had already walked in, Wen Bai Yu hastily lay down on the edge of the bed, pulling away from Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  Who would have thought that after Wan Qi Jing Hou got into bed, he actually pulled open his quilt and also crawled in.

  "Ah..."

  Wen Baiyu's calf was rubbed by him, feeling cool and refreshing. Wan Qi Jinghou's body temperature was always a bit low, startling Wen Baiyu, who shivered and said: "You, you take your own quilt."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said naturally: "The weather is not cold, just cover together."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was now tearless, shrinking into the bed like a deflated balloon, her back to Wang Juehou, staring at the floor with both eyes, not even wanting the quilt, letting Wang Juehou cover himself entirely.

  Until Wen Baiyu fell asleep, Wan Xizong didn't do anything and slept very regularly.

  When it was just getting light, Wen Baiyu felt that he was leaning against something cool and hard with a bit of elasticity.

  Wen Baiyu's hand was suddenly grabbed, Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he opened his eyes wide, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He found himself just now actually rubbing against Wan Jingshou's lower abdomen with both hands, even opening the other person's clothes.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and looked down at him.

  Wen Baiyu cursed and jumped out of bed, looking at the clock to find it was only 5:30!

  But Wen Baiyu didn't dare to get back on the bed, so she rushed directly into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and while the water was still cold, she plunged her head in. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her lips turned blue.

  Wen Baiyu had just taken a cold shower and walked out of the bathroom, only to see Wan Qi Jing Hou still lying on his bed, with his hands behind his head, his shirt unbuttoned but not tied up, revealing a large patch of abdominal muscles. Most importantly, he wasn't wearing pants, and his underwear was pulled down too low, causing a visual shock that made Wen Baiyu suddenly want to go take another cold shower!

  Wen Baiyu picked up the clothes beside him and threw them at Wan Jingshou's face, saying: "Hurry up and put on your clothes, stop being so flirtatious!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand, caught the clothes that were thrown over, and slowly sat up. He didn't button up but instead bent down to put on his pants first.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's abdominal muscles are very beautiful, the action of bending down has no extra flesh, lifting one leg to put on pants, Wen Bai Yu suddenly blushed again, and felt a little excited below, is this the legendary beauty trick? But Wan Qi Jing Hou is a man!

  Wen Baiyu rushed out of the bedroom with her head down and squatted behind the sofa in silence.

  Because she didn't cover herself with a quilt for one night, and took a cold shower in the morning, plus her heart was exhausted, Wen Baiyu had a slight fever. Since there were no medicines at home, she decided to go to the hospital to get some prescriptions.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou saw that he had a red face all day, and in the afternoon, Wen Bai Yu wanted to go to the hospital. Wan Qi Jing Hou also wanted to follow him. Tang Zi Shan said with understanding: "Boss, you can go with Wan Qi Ge, I'll take care of the store, don't worry."

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit helpless, Tang Zinan's eyes seemed to be like those of a large dog, they were clearly going to the hospital, not a hotel! Why did he have that understanding expression on his face?!

  The hospital was crowded, Wen Baiyu had an IV drip and sat in the infusion room. A little kid next to her kept crying, making Wen Baiyu's head spin with a headache. After about half an hour, the child finally stopped crying. The parent who brought the child seemed exhausted too, and fell asleep beside them.

  Wen Baiyu finally let out a sigh of relief, lifted her head, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to take a nap.

  Wen Baiyu only felt something itchy on his forehead, and when he opened his eyes, he was suddenly startled. Wan Qi Jinghou was standing beside him, with both hands resting on the back of his chair, an action that seemed to encircle him in his arms. Was this the legendary wall slam?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head, and the scattered hair on his forehead brushed against Wen Bai Yu's head, making him feel itchy.

  Wen Baiyu glared with her eyes and said: "What are you doing?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised one hand and touched his cheek, saying: "Your face is so red, your body temperature is very high."

  Wen Bai's throat was a bit dry, and she didn't know if it was a normal symptom of fever. Her eyes stared steadily at Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly lowered his head, Wen Bai Yu's eyes widened, and he was about to push Wan Jie Jing Hou's chest when the latter suddenly pressed down on his hand, saying: "Don't move, it's going to bleed back."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You know Hui Blood is still making trouble, hurry up and open it, you..."

  He hadn't finished speaking, and his lips were already icy cold. The high fever had suddenly encountered the cool air, causing Wen Baiyu to involuntarily sigh. He immediately opened his eyes wide, that parent was asleep, but he didn't know when he would wake up. Moreover, the child wasn't sleeping, staring at them with sparkling big eyes and a curious smile!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's lips came down, rubbing against his mouth, and then inserted his tongue, Wen Bai Yu's head was dizzy, the air he breathed out made him even more hot-headed, feeling like he was about to spontaneously combust. If Wan Qi Jing Hou hadn't been holding down his hand, Wen Bai Yu felt that he would have stretched out his hand to tightly hug Wan Qi Jing Hou's back, and he didn't know why...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised his head and stroked his cheek with his hand, saying: "His lips are very hot, even his tongue is very hot."

  Wen Baiyu was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Why did Wan Jingshou always speak with such composure? He was clearly the one who started it, yet he didn't show any embarrassment at all!

  The last bottle of Wen Baiyu's infusion finally returned the blood, and a big package swelled on the back of his hand, but fortunately it was almost gone, so he didn't have to get another injection.

  Wen Baiyu covered her own wrist with her hand, staring angrily at the detestable Wan Jinhong.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and said: "Let me rub it for you."

  Wen Baiyu slapped him with one hand and said: "Don't you have any common sense? When it's swollen, don't rub it."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou could only withdraw his hand and say: "Sorry, actually I know very little... If I knew before, maybe it's been too long, I've also forgotten."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly heard him say this, her heart inexplicably tightened, and she didn't know why.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's expression was faint as he said: "If you're willing to teach me, I'll definitely remember."

  Wen Baiyu looked at him steadily, unsure of what to make of the emotions in her heart. She felt that Wan Jingshou was not a simple person and had many past experiences, but he never mentioned his own past.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou saw that Wen Bai Yu didn't leave, turned his head to look at him, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he turned back, raised his hand, and gently touched Wen Bai Yu's lips.

  Wen Baiyu glared at him and said, "What are you doing?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said calmly: "The way you looked at me just now makes me want to kiss you."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's heart wailed, the sorrow of being a refined young man just for an instant was suddenly washed away by Wan Jingshou's sudden possession and pretentiousness!

  Wan Qi Jing Hou grabbed his wrist, pulled him, rushed two steps, and suddenly turned into the tea room on the corridor, then "bang" pressed Wen Bai Yu against the wall, lowered his head, and covered Wen Bai Yu's lips.

  "Ow... it hurts so much! You're a dog, aren't you?"

  Wen Baiyu's lower lip hurt, and she opened her eyes wide. Wan Jingshou tightly hugged Wen Baiyu, and their intense kiss almost took Wen Baiyu's breath away. Her waist and legs went soft, and if Wan Jingshou hadn't been holding her, she would have slid down the wall to the ground.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  There was a cough, and Wen Baiyu's feathers ruffled slightly as she looked up to see Yu Rongyang standing behind them with an empty paper cup in hand, smiling and saying, "Oh, it's you guys."

  Wen Baiyu could feel smoke coming out of her forehead, and Yu Xiangyang smiled slyly and said: "You two really have a good relationship."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu coughed and changed the subject, saying: "How did you end up in the hospital?"

  Yu Wei Yang pointed to his own eyes and said, "I'm here for a follow-up check. Previously, due to some things, my eyes almost went blind. Fortunately, there was a matching donor, otherwise I might have been unable to see antiques for the rest of my life."

  Wen Baiyu thought to himself, those eyes of Yu Yang, the real and fake ones were brought in front of him, just one glance would be enough to tell them apart, if he really couldn't see anymore, that would be a pity.

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "Hey, recently a friend told me that a hole was found in a certain suburban area. Are you guys interested?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's wrong with you? You're still addicted after falling into the grave. I'm not interested."

  Yu Wei Yang said with a pout, "Forget it then. I've heard that's the suspected tomb of King Xiang of Western Zhou. There are very few records of King Xiang in history, only some unofficial histories and legends, so I'm really curious and want to find someone to take me there to see."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback when he heard the two words "Xiang Wang".

  The silent Wan Jie Jing Hou glanced at Yu Wai Yang and said, "When are we leaving."

  Yu Wei Yang seemed to think it was interesting and said: "If you feel that it's possible, we can set off at any time."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "Then let's set off tonight."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu muttered in her heart, "You two are treating me as if I'm dead!"

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said to Wen Bai Yu: "Your boyfriend has gone, are you going too? It's lively with more people!"

  "Who's her boyfriend?!"

  Yu Wei Yang replied very briefly: "You."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou rarely threw a nod of approval and said: "We'll go back to pack up and pay our respects, you're in charge of finding the car, call me when it's ready."

  Yu Wei Yang nodded and said: "Alright then, I'll go first."

  He walked out of the tea room while turning back and smiling ambiguously, saying: "You can continue."

  Wen Bai's face turned bright red: "......"

  Wen Baihe and Wan Jijinghou returned home. Wan Jijinghou told him to go to bed and sleep, saying: "You still have a fever, sleep for a while."

  He shot a glance at Wen Bai and said, "You know I have a fever, yet you still want me to set out tonight. This is simply exploiting labor."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "Sorry."

  Wen Baiyu looked at him with a good attitude, others thought he was Huang Shiren, suddenly felt helpless, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'll just take a nap, wake me up later."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and covered him with a quilt, then went out of the bedroom to pack up the equipment for the tomb.

  When Wen Baiyu woke up, she was covered in sweat, her clothes were soaked, and her head was a bit dizzy, but the pain had stopped. Although she was sweating all over, she felt refreshed, as if her fever had broken.

  Wen Baiyu lifted the quilt and walked out of the bedroom. The lights were off outside, and it was already dark. Wan Qi Jinghou sat alone on the sofa, holding a piece of silk book that they had brought out from the first tomb.

  Wen Baiyu walked over and said: "I'm awake, when are we leaving?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou put down the silk book, stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead, saying: "You've sweated a lot, go take a bath, don't catch a cold again."

  Wen Baiyu let out a soft "oh", and although Wan Kuang Jinghou usually seemed quite cold, once you got to know him, you'd realize he was actually a very gentle person, he just wasn't good at expressing it.

  Wen Baiyu was in a great mood after taking a bath, and when he came out, Wan Jiahui had already prepared to set off, saying: "Yu Wei Yang has called, we'll leave soon."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go change clothes."

  It was almost ten o'clock when Wan Jie Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu set off, because Wen Bai Yu's hair wasn't dry and Wan Jie Jing Hou wouldn't let him leave...

  Yu Wei Yang opened his own car and waited for more than half an hour. Seeing them coming, he said: "You two are like a big girl getting married, still need to pierce ears, so slow!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou opened the passenger door, but didn't get in. Instead, he threw his luggage in and sat down next to Wen Bai Yu on the back seat.

  Rainbow opened the car door and said with a smile, "You two don't do any exercise that doesn't match in my car."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Has he already become a lustful person in Rain's eyes?!

  It was late at night and there were no cars, especially since they had to head out of the city, it was even more unlikely to find one. Yu Tian Yang threw over a map, saying: "Here, I've marked the location on the map, take a look."

  Wen Baiyu took it and looked at it, saying: "This location looks very familiar."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "That silk book has a record."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened and he jumped up, saying: "That silk painting... now that I think about it, wasn't it painted by Xi Chi?"

  Wen Baiyu carefully studied the map, pointing to the circle drawn with a red pen and said: "Huh? This village, isn't this Tangzi's hometown? I've heard him mention it several times. Tangzi said that his hometown has particularly delicious wild vegetables!"

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "It's a pity that silly guy didn't come, otherwise we could have gone to his house as guests."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Tangzi's courage is so small, if he goes down to the grave, he will be scared to death. Let him live a few more years."

  Yu Wei Yang burst out laughing, as if she had already imagined Tang Zi being scared to death with a pale face and shivering uncontrollably, it seemed very amusing.

  About two hours later, they arrived at their destination without slowing down.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "My friend didn't know the exact location either, we still need to look around."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then what about tonight? Are we going to spend the night in the car?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Let's go to the village and stay overnight."

  They drove the car to the entrance of the village, but the road in the village was too narrow and bumpy, making it impossible to drive a car. The whole scene looked very backward.

  Yu Wei Yang stopped the car and the three of them carried their luggage inside.

  The village has a small population and houses are sparse, but there is actually a farmhouse music.

  Wen Baiyu said with a strange expression: "In this desolate mountain and wilderness, there is actually farmhouse music. Do you think anyone would come here to play?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Is it here to experience nature?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Yes, there are many people."

  They said, walking over and knocking on the door. The one who opened it was an old man. The old man looked at them and said: "You're here to stay overnight, right? There's only one room left."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jinhou with a surprised expression, and indeed, he had been seen through.

  Three people rented a room, it was a large dormitory, the bed was not small, but the room was very simple, there was nothing, not even water to drink.

  Wen Baiyu lay on the bed, feeling that the kang was too hard and didn't know if it was because she had just recovered from her illness and was a bit weak, which she didn't usually feel.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took off his own outer garment and pulled out a spare blanket from his backpack, laying it on the bed for Wen Bai Yu to sleep on, saying: "Sleep."

  Yu Wei Yang lay on the other side of Wen Bai Yu, smiling and saying: "Hey, it's quite considerate, showing affection, bullying me is a lonely family."

  He said, turning over and facing away from Wen Baiyu, "I'll sleep on this side, so I won't be blinded by the light."

  Wen Baiyu ignored him and turned to face Wan Kuang Jing Hou, saying: "How did you know there were many people here?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "There are many thief holes on the road near the village, it was dark just now, you may not have noticed, and there were many packages of luggage piled up outside the yard, all of which were large items. If I'm not mistaken, they should be tools for inverting fights. If it's purely tourism, you don't need to bring so much luggage."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "I didn't even notice it, it seems that these people have also heard the rumors?"

  "Let's sleep for now and look again after dawn," said Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him and suddenly wanted to ask why he was so persistent in going down the grave, but after thinking about it, if she asked, Wan Kuangjing's answer would definitely be "I don't know".

  Wen Baiyu closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.

  Maybe she slept too much during the day, so Wen Baiyu didn't sleep well at night and woke up in the middle of the night, feeling like her stomach was going to burst, so she got out of bed wanting to go to the bathroom.

  He quietly left the room, not quite familiar with the way. The toilet was in the backyard, and he had to walk a distance. When Wen Baiyu walked into the yard, he saw an old man squatting on the ground burning paper.

  Next to it was a spirit tablet, on which someone was burning incense and muttering: "Protect our village from wind and rain, may the wind and rain be favorable."

  Wen Baiyu himself wanted to go to the toilet, was frightened by a sudden movement, just at this time, the sky opened up with a flash of lightning, followed by a loud clap of thunder.

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that his soul was gone, and the old man was also frightened. He knelt down in front of the memorial tablet, trembling with fear, and said: "Gods, please bless us, we will burn more paper money for you... Please don't blame us..."

  Wen Baiyu wanted to retreat backward, at this time another flash of lightning cut through, as if it was going to tear apart the black night, and in an instant illuminated all the darkness.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and in an instant, he saw two familiar words on the memorial tablet where the old man was kneeling...

  It is Tangzi

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that her liver was trembling and she didn't dare go to the toilet anymore, turning around and running back into the house.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou sat on the bed, looked at him coming in and said: "Where are you going?"

  Wen Baiyu quickly jumped onto the bed, grabbing his hand and saying: "Damn it! I've seen a ghost! There's someone in the backyard burning paper money in front of the memorial tablet, it scared me to death. Guess whose name is on the tablet?!"

  Yu Wei Yang was sleeping soundly and was woken up by the noise. Rubbing his eyes, he said: "It's the middle of the night, you guys are too energetic."

  Wen Baiyu ignored him and continued saying: "It's Tangzi! Tangzi!"

  Yu Wei Yang said strangely: "What's wrong with Tang Zi?"

  Wen Baiyu repeated what he had just seen, and Yu Yang said: "Impossible, did you see it wrong? This village is Tangjia Village, everyone has the surname Tang, did you misread the name behind?"

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and felt that Yu Wei Yang's words made sense. Perhaps she was frightened by the thunder just now, and her eyes were blurred.

  It's finally dawned, and before the sky is fully bright, there are already sounds in the courtyard. It seems that everyone who lives here has left, but it's unknown what they're doing so early.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou finished washing up and walked out, the old man of Nongjiale was clearing the table, it was the group of people who had left after eating breakfast.

  The old man saw him and said enthusiastically: "Young man, get up early, there's breakfast too. Wait a minute, I'll bring it over, you pick a clean one and sit at the table first."

  When Lao Da Ye brought out the breakfast, Yu Wei Yang sleepily walked out of the house and said: "You've started eating? You guys are up so early."

  The old man was very enthusiastic and gave Yu Wei Yang an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

  They ate while Yu Wenyang asked the old man for information, saying: "Old man, do you know if there's a Situ Mountain nearby?"

  The old man chuckled and said, "Mountains? There are mountains all around here. If you head east for a while, you'll see plenty of them."

  The old man said: "Looking at your attire, I know what you're here for."

  The three of them exchanged a glance, and the old man smiled and said, "I've seen it all too."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "So, recently many people have come over?"

  The old man said: "Yes, you are all like this. But I advise you one sentence, today is the 15th, don't go up the mountain."

  "What's wrong?"

  The old man said: "Because every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, people in Tangjia Village will offer sacrifices to the mountain god, don't go disturb the gods... I tell you, the mountain god of Tangjia Village has a bad temper..."

  Yu Wei Yang raised an eyebrow.

  "Wen Baiyu suddenly said: 'Old sir, is there a girl named Xiaohong in your village?'"

  The old man's face stiffened, and he sneered: "Miss? She's old enough to be your mother, what 'miss'?"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a bit strange, could it be that Tang Zi liked older women, the legendary Oedipus complex?

  Yu Wei Yang is also a bit strange, always hearing Tang Zi mention the little red in their village, and saying that he looks like her, what's going on at this age?!

  The old man added with a sigh, "Alas, if she were still alive."

  Wen Baiyu and Yu Wei Yang simultaneously felt a chill on their backs and said: "What's going on?"

  The old man was very talkative and said: "I don't know who you heard mention this little red, but she is someone that no one in our village wants to bring up."

  The old man paused, seemingly reminiscing, and said: "This little red, isn't from our village. Back then, she was really beautiful, and our village was full of people who had never seen the world, so they all revered her like a goddess. Nobody knew where she came from, but she liked to wear red clothes, loved to smile, and was very gentle; there was nothing she couldn't do. The villagers all respected her greatly. Moreover, Little Red seemed to be a wealthy person, with a treasured family heirloom - a piece of chicken blood jade that was said to be extremely valuable... Later on, Little Red even adopted a child and lived in the village very well. However, strange things soon started happening..."

  The village began to experience drought and flood, or else it was plagued by disease. Some people started guessing that someone suspicious had infiltrated the village. The only outsiders in the village were Xiaohong and a child she adopted. What kind of disaster could a child bring? Someone in the village started speculating that Xiaohong was the suspicious person.

  The villagers invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. The Taoist priest accepted the money, but as soon as he entered the village, he was scared away and said he couldn't handle it, and even returned the money.

  The villagers were even stranger. The Taoist priest had obviously seen something, which was why he ran away in fright. And the house at the entrance of the village was clearly Xiaohong's home.

  The villagers became even more suspicious of this outsider woman, and later some rascals in the village took a liking to Xiaohong and wanted to sneak into her home at midnight. As a result, the person climbed in through the window and saw the family heirloom, the chicken blood jade, in Xiaohong's home.

  The chicken blood jade is on the table, under the sparkling moonlight, it's bleeding!

  Blood flowed along the edge of the table, dripping down drop by drop...

  That rascal was frightened out of his wits and ran out of the house, shouting all over town that Xiaohong was a monster who specialized in bringing disaster to their village.

  The old man said: "The villagers invited the great monk, and the great monk said that it was not chicken blood jade, but thousand-year-old blood jade, which was made by soaking in corpse blood. When a person swallows his last breath, he puts the jade into his mouth, and the jade will be swallowed with the last breath. After a thousand years, it will form a blood jade. The great monk also said that Xiaohong is not a human being at all, but a hybrid of glutinous rice and human, born with corpse energy, which will affect the people around him."

  The old man said, and suddenly sighed.

  The white feather was messed up by him and said: "Then what?"

  The old man sighed and said: "Later? What a sin..."

  Later, the villagers, out of fear, knocked Xiao Hong's children unconscious and then caught Xiao Hong. They took her to the back mountain and burned her alive...

  What a ruthless move, really vicious.

  The old man said: "When the child woke up, the mountain forest was already filled with flames everywhere, and the woman's cries could still be faintly heard... We stopped the child from going in, telling him that the woman who raised him was not a good person, but a monster, and she must have raised him to eat him! That child... that child..."

  The old man's voice trembled, seemingly frightened, and said: "That child... how did that child say it?"

  Before the white-haired old man finished speaking, the elderly man muttered to himself again: "That child suddenly burst out laughing, laughed so hard that tears came out, and then we...we saw that the child's eyes suddenly turned red, the eyeballs, blood-red, as if they were about to shed bloody tears. The child went crazy and shouted loudly that he was the monster, he was the monster! All the disasters were brought by him, and had nothing to do with her... We... we didn't understand at the time, but saw that the child suddenly jumped up from the ground, under everyone's gaze, transformed into a large bird with all black feathers, with five long tails, swooped up into the sky, circling above the burning mountain forest, constantly wailing. The sound of the bird's cry could be heard throughout the entire village."

  It's a grave!

  Wen Baiyu thought of the totem of Longbei Ancient Village at once and looked towards Wan Qi Jinghou.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou did not speak, and nodded slightly.

  The old man continued: "We were scared to death. At that time, the mountain forest was on fire, burning for seven days and seven nights, everything was burned out, and it spread down, burning part of the village too. Later, we drew a picture of the black bird and asked someone to come and see what it was. The person said that maybe when the Taoist came, he saw not Xiaohong but this child, which is why he ran away. This child is a tomb, said to be the descendant of the phoenix and human, he is the root of disaster, and also the guardian bird of the grave. After the big fire, our village was flooded again, we only then realized that we had offended the gods, from then on, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, we would go to the mountain to worship the gods."

  "What about that child? What's his name? Where did he go?"

  The old man shook his head and said, "It's been too long, nearly twenty years have passed. The person we invited said that although the tomb is a divine bird, its ancestors disobeyed the heavenly principle and privately associated with humans. Although they possess divine power, their lifespan is short. The divine bird's lifespan is only thirty years, and when thirty years are up, it will die in fire, leaving behind only a pile of black soil. Calculating that, the child... this year would also be exactly thirty years old, perhaps he's already gone."

  The old man said, "Actually, we don't even know what that child's name is. He's taciturn and rarely speaks, only Xiao Hong, who adopted him, can talk to him. He seldom approaches us... Now that I think about it, maybe the child didn't want to bring disaster upon us, so he kept his distance... There was only one time when I vaguely heard Xiao Hong call him 'Tangzi'... but I don't know if that's really his name."

  Tangzi...
