Chapter 105

In the car, Xu Yue was whispering anxiously while driving.

I didn't feel uncomfortable with her behavior, because her voice was very nice. In this case, the nagging thoughts felt like a musical rhythm in my ears, which made me feel a pleasant feeling.

However, after listening carefully to what she was talking about, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at her in surprise.

This girl's thoughts were not dissatisfied with her financial losses, but she was more worried about her cousin's sister-in-law who stole her certificate of deposit and property certificate.

She was worried that her sister-in-law would be deceived by the bad guy and would take advantage of her own possible property damage.

After realizing this, I was speechless

This girl seems to be the so-called Virgin Bitch that some people in society now laugh at.

Love and compassion are flooded to the point of no principles

After realizing this, I couldn't help but remind her

Xu Yue, why are you sure that your sister-in-law cheated you and that she must have been used by others? I saw her coming out of the elevator, pushing you away, and then taking the opportunity to slip away a series of actions that were smooth and easy to cheat you away. Maybe it was her own plan...

This girl was having dinner with someone last time, and was taken to the hotel by drugging and almost raped.

I think I am acquaintance with her. Some things, such as knowing people but not their hearts, and being sinister, should be reminded of them. I think it is better for me to tell her in person.

Sister-in-law, she is a good person!

Xu Yue's mind seemed a little too low because of her mood.

In the face of my doubts, she didn't know how to refute it. She just told me repeatedly how kind her sister-in-law is, how good her relationship with her cousin and wife, how much care for her sister-in-law in the past, etc.

I smiled faintly after hearing this, but didn't think so

However, from the past of Xu Yue's nagging about her cousin's sister-in-law, I also realized that her sister-in-law's behavior was indeed difficult to understand.

From Xu Yue's story, I learned that her cousin's family has very good financial conditions and can basically be included in the category of rich people.

And he is really very caring for her sister

Because according to Xu Yue, Xu Yue received funding from her cousin when she bought her current house and the car she drove now.

Especially when it comes to buying a car, her sister-in-law convinced her cousin to make up for the insufficient purchase of the car for her.

The reason is that her sister-in-law believes that Xu Yue, a beautiful single woman, is bound to be coveted by the opposite sex with bad intentions, and social security is not good now.

Buy a car and drive out, at least your personal safety will be slightly more secure

Judging from these details, her sister-in-law is indeed as Xu Yue said. She should be a kind and kind woman who attaches great importance to family affection and knows how to deal with people.

But this also made me more puzzled by the woman's behavior today

Xu Yue's cousin has money, and her cousin will give his wife and daughter a monthly living expenses of 50,000 yuan.

Even in big cities, this money is enough to make people live a prosperous life, let alone in our second- and third-tier prefecture-level cities.

So, in theory, the other party should not be short of money.

In addition, Xu Yue’s deposit is not much, only about 100,000 yuan. The house is a small apartment, and it only cost less than 300,000 yuan when buying it.

Real estate prices have increased in recent years, but it is estimated that it will not exceed 500,000 yuan

In other words, the total value of all the things that Xu Yue sister-in-law swept away from Xu Yue will not exceed 600,000.

It's all about it, that is, Xu Yue's cousin gave her sister-in-law and her daughter a year's living expenses

If the other party saves some, he can save so much money in just over a year. Is it necessary to play with Xu Yue to cheat money?

Your sister-in-law usually spends money fiercely? Thinking of this, I frowned and asked.

Because what Xu Yue said at this time is like a hammer and a stick, and there is no rules.

If I want to speculate and analyze the reasons for the other party's behavior today, I decided to guide Xu Yue to discover the whole story from the verbal point of view.

Of course, I have to buy luxury goods, jewelry, etc., but women will buy some of them, but she is restrained and really expensive. I asked my brother to buy them as gifts for her. But because she is at home, she is a little bored on weekdays, so she will play cards and so on... Speaking of this, Xu Yue suddenly woke up.

I got it, she must have lost money by playing cards, and then borrowed usury and was afraid that my brother would tell her, so she decided to borrow money from me first to turn over...

After realizing this, Xu Yue quickly affirmed the reasonable conclusion he had reached.

...It must be like this. It seems that after I find her, in addition to getting the real estate certificate back, it is better to give her the certificate of deposit first for emergency treatment...

Just as he said this, Xu Yue's cell phone heard the sound of sending and receiving text messages.

Xu Yue didn't think much about it, and pointed to the phone placed in the debris slot under the handbrake and said to me: Brother Yan, it's not convenient for me to drive. Please help me see who came from the text message, what message unlock password is XXXXXXX

I picked up her cell phone and entered the unlock password as per her instructions

Then I saw a text message from someone she marked as Big Brother

Have you received the text message before? My brother suddenly sent you a greeting message without any other meaning. If you have something, you should tell you that your sister-in-law is not normal these days. She always asks me for money and asks her what she is doing. She stammers, so I ignored her and didn't continue to send money to her. I was worried that she wouldn't get it from me, so I went to find you, so I'll remind you here that there is no legitimate reason. Don't lend her money. Wait until I come back and ask her why she used the money. Then you should be free. Also, help me find out what happened to her and notify me in time.

After listening to my reading of the short message, Xu Yue's face quickly showed a regretful expression.

Do you need me to reply for you? How to reply? Looking at the message sent by cousin Xu Yue, he asked

It seems that Xu Yue's cousin is a smart person and knows his wife and his sister very well.

It was predicted that what would happen, but it was obvious that although the other party expected it, the news was one step late.

The matter has already happened, so don't tell my brother the actual situation. It will probably affect his work and business. Please help me reply to him. I'll know.

I shook my head, and then replied to her cousin as Xu Yue asked. After knowing the three words, I put her phone back to her original position.

He spoke: Your elder brother is more careful than you. He had already predicted that something might happen at home, but unfortunately it was still a step later. By the way, your sister-in-law likes gambling very much?

Seeing me asking this, Xu Yue was stunned at first. After a while, she was so difficult to confirm that she seemed to answer me, and she said to herself: Your question reminded me that my sister-in-law has been playing cards for a few years. The card friends are basically just a few people, and they are not too big. They are not very big wins or losses. In the past, twenty yuan, there is no big win or loss. My brother can't use up her living expenses, and there is still a monthly balance... In this way, it seems that borrowing usury seems to be a bit...

I pinched my chin and added her words

...It's a bit unreasonable! To be honest, I have come into contact with housewives like your sister-in-law in the past. If it weren't for gambling, very few people would have contact with those who were so smart about your brother. Is it unclear whether your wife is good at gambling? When I was a reporter, I had contacted all the people from all walks of life. I don't know the water company! Nowadays, when they do business, they also pay attention to personal relationships and worldly affairs. Most of the time, if it weren't for the huge amount, they wouldn't be willing to do things. You said that your sister-in-law's winning or losing is only 100 to 200 yuan, how much money can you owe others? Not to mention that you also went to borrow money from the ventilator. So, your previous suspicion was not reliable, and the meaning of your brother's text message was very clear. There was something wrong with your sister-in-law, that is, if you think about the things in the past few days, what happened to your sister-in-law in the past few days?

Xu Yue frowned and recalled carefully while driving.

... Changes? I think about it... In the second half of the year, Nannan went to kindergarten. Her sister-in-law, except for picking up and dropping off Nannan, she was doing housework at home, watching TV, and so on. Then she occasionally went out to play cards and so on. It seemed that there was no change in Ah... Alas, wait, I remembered...

Xu Yue seemed to have finally thought of something at this moment and said

...She ran to our club half a month ago and told me that she was idle at home during the day and wanted to do some fitness exercises, so I found the boss and got her a membership card for our club for her. She had been active in the club for a long time and didn't come again. I called her. She said that the amount of exercise here is too large and she couldn't jump. So she wanted to change to other mild fitness methods. Our club charges according to class hours. If she doesn't come, she won't deduct money and the membership card will not be wasted, so I didn't force her to continue coming. The next day, she called me and said that she had participated in a yoga training class and went there. I thought that yoga was good, and the intensity of the exercise might be more suitable for her age, so she let her go.

Yoga?

Hearing this term again, the muscles on my face couldn't help but twitch.

It's not Tantra Yoga, right? I asked tentatively

As a fitness coach, Xu Yue is more familiar with this industry circle.

It is precisely for this reason that she is clear about the so-called Tantra Yoga in China today.

So, when I said this noun, she immediately changed her face

...Oh! You said this, maybe it was really a few days ago, a colleague of mine told me that someone was brave enough to openly openly a Tantra Yoga Hall in the city. And I was still joking with her that it would be sooner or later to be banned...

That thing has been stinking in big cities. We are considered small cities here. Not many people know what happened to this thing... No, no! Xu Yue, are you driving Ah? As I said, I noticed that Xu Yue actually drove his car to Lijia Village in the eastern suburbs of the city.

That’s right...my brother’s family is here!

What, what? I blinked and asked in disbelief

Your brother is so rich, how can he settle his home here? Haven’t he considered buying a more upscale residence in the city center?

How do you know that my brother doesn’t have a house in the city? He and my sister-in-law originally had a house in the city. It was four years ago when my sister-in-law was pregnant. He deliberately bought it for the sake of purity here so that my sister-in-law, Anfei Nannan, after my sister-in-law was born, he and my sister-in-law got used to it, and then they lived here for a long time.

After listening to Xu Yue's explanation, I reacted

And quickly understood the reason why cousin Xu Yue acted like this

Lijia Village was originally a quiet small village on the outskirts of this city

However, with the extension of transportation and the continuous expansion of cities, it has long been incorporated into the administrative divisions of the city today, which is the urban village that appears in many cities now.

So although the name is rustic and there are no high-rise buildings, it has many advantages of convenient transportation and quiet environment.

Therefore, it has attracted some economically wealthy people to come here to buy property

Xu Yue's cousin is a smart businessman. He probably realized the potential for land and real estate appreciation here. In addition, his wife needed a quiet environment at that time, so she moved her residence here four years ago.

On the side of the main road, Xu Yue stopped his car

After getting off the car, I followed her into the unrenovated residential group in the village.

The stone pavement on the ground and the narrow streets remind me of the scene in my hometown Qingyuan Town

After walking for a few minutes, a small rural courtyard with a unique courtyard appeared in front of me.

Xu Yue saw the honest padlock hanging on the wooden door and stomped his feet.

Oops, sister-in-law didn't come back at all. I said why I didn't see a taxi going back all the way! I wanted to find her and talk to her face, but it seemed that it would be impossible. We had to go back to the city to call the police and report the loss... While talking, Xu Yue reached out and pulled me to leave here.

As a result, I pulled it for a while, but found that I looked at the courtyard with a serious expression, without any intention of accompanying her to leave.

Xu Yue was a little confused about my performance at this moment, but I was in a state of being speechless.

Yin Qi...

In Xu Yue's opinion, the rural courtyard that her cousin bought locally is no different from other farmyards scattered nearby.

But in my eyes, this farmhouse covering an area of ​​three or four hundred square meters is full of weirdness and danger

There is no other reason. Through my Red Lotus Eye, I clearly saw the black and extremely strong evil aura gathered in this courtyard and condensed above the house.

Not only that... On the walls around the entire courtyard, ghost marks that cannot be seen in ordinary people's eyes can be seen everywhere...

Brother Yan, what's wrong with you? Why is your expression so scary?

After Xu Yue noticed my expression, he asked in surprise

I tried hard to suppress my eyebrows that were constantly trying to beat, and calmed my expression down

Ah... nothing! While saying that, I quickly made up my mind and quickly thought about my words

...Xu Yue, since your sister-in-law has not come back here, I can only go back to the city and go to the police station to report the lost deposit certificate. I should have accompanied you to do these things, but I suddenly remembered something important to deal with, so I probably have to separate from you here

You, what did you say?

Xu Yue's beautiful big eyes were wide open, she didn't understand, I would suddenly make a request to act separately from her now

In fact, when you go back alone, you can get things done quickly. First, go to the bank to report the loss. Then, go to the police station to report the police. It may be time-consuming to handle it, so it is arranged later. Where is the bank report the loss easier? After explaining the situation, people will deal with it immediately. Don’t make the order wrong. Okay, I remember that the thing I want to do is in Lijia Village, so I will take a step first...

After saying that, I turned around immediately, without giving Xu Yue time to react, and quickly walked into the stone alley next to me.

Xu Yue was obviously shocked by my rude behavior for no reason at this moment. He didn't react for a long time until I ran into a large section of the alley next to me, and then I remembered to catch up with me and ask what was going on.

But it's obviously too late

After I quickly turned a few turns in the village street, she completely lost my traces.

More than ten minutes later, I hid at the corner of a house on the side of the road, watching Xu Yue drive away alone in disappointment.

Just now, turning around again, and based on the direction where the evil aura gathered in the distance, he recognized the place where his cousin Xu Yue's residence was located.

When I passed by the entrance of a farmyard, I saw a sickle in the corner where the farm tools were piled in the yard. I realized that there was no one in the room, I immediately slipped in and stole the sickle...

I don’t know what happened to Xu Yue’s sister-in-law’s family, but it seems that it must be related to the strong yin energy and the ghost energy spots appearing around the walls. Maybe those things are the reasons for her sister-in-law’s abnormal behavior...

I hid my sickle in my chest and pretended to be nothing while walking on the stone road while thinking.

Although I'm very overdoing my own behavior

But considering the danger, I could only take this worst option, send Xu Yue away, and then act alone

When I came to the surrounding wall of this yard, I looked at the evil aura that was still rolling and moving above the yard, and breathed a long sigh.

I don't know what my current actions are for?

Logically, what kind of evil things happened to Xu Yue and his family was their own business and had nothing to do with me.

I really don't have to come forward to show off for her.

But on the other hand, my conscience told me that I can't just pretend that I don't know anything and leave

In the past, I was an ordinary person, I didn’t know anything and couldn’t control it, it was one thing; but now, I have already understood the power contained in my body... The power of the red lotus made me unknowingly have an indescribable sense of mission.

Driven by this sense of mission, I finally decided to enter this yard and find out what it is

The wall of the yard is not high, only more than two meters away. The standard one is to guard against gentlemen but not villains!

Sound insulation or protecting residents' privacy is more effective than anti-theft

This is almost the same as the old house in Qingyuan Town, my hometown.

So I easily jumped into the yard from the wall on the side of the main entrance

After entering the yard, I looked up and stood there on the spot...

What's going on? How come the yard looks so familiar?

There is a stone table in the courtyard in the center of the yard. There are two wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard, and the gate is facing the main hall.

I suddenly realized that the layout and decoration of this yard were almost the same as the layout of my ancestral home in Qingyuan Town.

Of course, it is wrong to say that it is exactly the same

Because the size of the house in this house seems to be smaller than my Yan family's ancestral home, and the direction of the north and south is somewhat different, etc.

After being shocked, I immediately started to laugh at myself

The reason is nothing else. I suddenly remembered that the layout and style of my ancestral home were originally fixed houses in the past.

This Lijia Village and my hometown, Qingyuan Town, have always been under the rule of the same prefecture throughout history. It is not surprising that the structure and layout of the house are similar.

In fact, there are several so-called wealthy families left behind by the ancestral homes that are the same as the Yan family's ancestral homes. The differences are nothing more than the different locations of some decorations and items.

After thinking about this, I quickly drove the absurd thoughts that appeared in my mind aside, and used the power of the red lotus to observe the entire courtyard.

After observing for a while, I immediately focused my attention on the main room of the courtyard

Through the eyes of the Red Lotus, I noticed that there were rolling black evil spirits flowing out of the inner room along the ground from the left and right doors leading to the back room in the main room.

Well, it seems that the problem is in the main room... I went in and found the source of these yin energy and thoughts were solved! If I couldn't solve it, I would hang up the phone number for Ye Tong and grabbed him to help. It would be right. He seemed to follow the rules and I had to pay, but that was nothing. I still had 250,000 yuan on his side. I agreed to the price and deducted it from it...

I was thinking about how to deal with the problem of this yard completely, and at the same time, I walked carefully towards the main hall

When I passed by the stone table on the patio, I raised my legs like a conditioned reflex and walked past several small bonsai placed on the ground on one side of the stone table.

After taking two more steps, I couldn't help but blink and realized something was wrong...

I suddenly realized that after entering the yard, I actually didn't notice these basins of bonsai on the side of the stone table. The stepping movements when passing by the side of the stone table were simply a habitual reaction I developed without realizing it.

And this habit accidentally prevented me from being stuck in the bonsai on the ground without notice.

Before I knew it, I felt my breathing gets rapid

Standing in the middle of the patio, I once again observed the courtyard in front of me.

On the left is the west wing room, and an empty tank is placed along the edge of the room near the main entrance... At the same time, the vacant pottery tank at the same location appeared in my sight.

On the right side is the east wing room, the house next to the main hall is a guest room, and there are two potted boxwoods at the door... When I turned around, the two potted boxwoods placed at the door of the room came into my eyes.

My eyelids beat violently uncontrollably...

This, this is impossible... Why is the layout of the furnishings of this yard exactly the same as the layout of the old house in Qingyuan Town in my childhood memory?

When I discovered the scene in my memory and the various furnishings in the yard at this moment, and I was almost unsurprising, I stood there as if I had lost my soul.

The main hall, by the way, the main hall! I remember that there are no ancestral tablets in my main hall like other local families, but instead, hanging scrolls with four large characters written by my great-grandfather, "Dao by Nature" written by my great-grandfather, is it the same?

When I first entered the yard, I vaguely saw a pair of hanging scrolls hanging on the screen partition wall in the center of the two rear room doors in the center of the main hall, but the distance was far away. I glanced at it in a daze, but I couldn't see clearly. At this moment, when I looked up and focused my eyes on the screen partition wall in the center of the main hall, my mouth couldn't help but open!

...How is this possible? This word... This hanging scroll that I have recognized since I was a child... How could it run into this yard?

At this moment, I was like a walking corpse, slowly step by step into the hall of the main room in front of me, and finally stood in front of the four big scrolls written like dragons and phoenixes, Tao follows nature, and the words "Tao follows nature" are written like a dragon and phoenix.

What the Red Lotus Eye saw was the evil spirits everywhere in the house and the ghost marks on the walls, which were no longer important in my opinion...

Chu Nan’s last study…

Looking at the signature handwriting on the lower left of the hanging scroll, I can already confirm

At this moment, the hanging scroll hanging on this screen partition wall was the one written by my great-grandfather and once hung on the main hall of the old house in Qingyuan Town!

My great-grandfather used several fonts during his lifetime

This Chu Nan Shu Xue is one of them. Many of the manuscripts of my great-grandfather in my family use this signature.

Did I move to the ancestral home of Qingyuan Town in my hometown without knowing it? Honglian still has this ability? But isn’t the ability to move instantly unique to Xinan? And even Chunri, who has the ability to move instantly, has strict restrictions. He can only move continuously no more than five times in a short period of time. The distance of each movement is within ten meters. In other words, even in a moment, it is impossible to move from Lijia Village to Qingyuan Town in my hometown in Xinan. The distance between these two places is dozens of kilometers...

I looked at the hanging scroll in front of me in a daze, and my brain instantly turned into a ball of paste.

No, this is still in the farmyard purchased by Xu Yue's cousin in Lijia Village!

After a while, I affirmed this again

I thought that last time I went back to the old house, the original decorations and pendants in the old house had long been emptied

Only empty rooms and courtyards are left, namely the stone tables in the patio, the empty flower pots, the tables and chairs in the main hall, and the bed frames in the room.

But how could these things that I was familiar with when I was young appear at the home of Xu Yue, cousin of Lijia Village?

You know, these things are all the property of our old Yan family...

I blinked, and my thoughts couldn't help but return to my memories after the tragic incident in my house twenty years ago.

After I woke up in the hospital, my uncle took me back to his home in the city to live in custody.

The aftermath of the old house was handled by the uncle.

As a cultural person, my uncle knew very well the value of the manuscripts left by his great-grandfather and grandfather.

Therefore, I went to the ancestral home not long after, cleaned up most of the two people's collections and manuscripts, and packed them and shipped them home for storage.

In addition, valuable items such as jewelry

After my uncle and aunt passed away, these things were inherited by A Guang and I respectively.

A Guang is a rough man and has no interest in books and manuscripts. So when he was dividing his ancestors' heritage, he only had his own grandmother's personal belongings, that is, my grandfather's child bride's personal belongings as a souvenir.

Most of the relics in my home, including books, manuscripts, and grandma's jewelry, were eventually handed over to me.

But this does not include the hanging scroll in front of me that follows the Tao by nature

Not only this hanging scroll, but also some decorations and old-fashioned home appliances that I remembered, there were no such things as the old-fashioned phonograph that my grandmother loved back then...

My uncle told me about the whereabouts of these objects during his lifetime

He returned home to clean up his old house. He spent several days sorting out the things on the old house, then packing them, planning to transport them back to his residence in the city together.

At that time, there were no professional institutions such as moving companies in the local area, so he found a tractor in the county through his personal relationship and put the things on the tractor's tow bucket and got them back...

Some accidents occurred during the delivery process

At that time, there were no highways such as provincial highways, national highways and expressways, etc.

From Qingyuan Town to the city, you can only walk on the old road in Huaqiao Town

There is a section in the middle of the old road that is built along the cliffs on the banks of the Qing River.

The tractor is not only slow, but also has a very bumpy road. When passing through the cliff section on the riverside, the bumpy items were not placed before loading the car, which caused several boxes and packages placed at the end of the tow bucket to be directly raised from the car and rolled down the cliff into the Qingjiang River.

This includes boxes and parcels that place this hanging scroll and some decorations such as calligraphy and painting.

Of course, grandma's favorite gramophone is also included.

It is said that my aunt also loves the phonograph very much. She has complained about her uncle several times and blamed him for being unreliable in doing things.

What a good antique phonograph, I have to put it in something worth a lot of money now, and it just fell into the river...

Knowing the reason for the loss of these things, I saw this item appearing in the house in front of me again, which made me feel extremely unrealistic

This hanging shaft is here... Could it be that phonograph will appear? I remember that phonograph is always placed in the right door, in my grandma's bedroom.

Thinking of this, I wanted to turn around and enter the door on the right to find out.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from outside the wall outside the patio. I was shocked and ran out of the main hall and quickly hid my body to the side of the house on the left side of the wing room.
