This should be the ancestral home of the Liu family, which is what Qingqing calls the family.
At this time, Qingqing was dressed in a retro style, wearing a white mink shawl and a pale pink dress underneath.
After Liu Changsheng left, she sat on the chair and secretly shed a few tears. Then she stood up, wiped her face carefully and walked towards the bedroom where I was.
I had just woken up and looked up at her face.
Qingqing didn't seem to notice. She didn't notice that my eyes were open until she was sitting on the bed. She was also very surprised and asked me: "When did you wake up?"
I said I just woke up. I woke up when you were chatting with your dad.
Then Qingqing put her hand on my face and said to me with red eyes: "You finally woke up. I've been going to pieces these past few days. You don't even know what I've been through these past few days. Hey..."
She shed two more tears as she spoke. I held her hand and pulled out a forced smile: "I heard it all. There were more than a thousand people, and only a few dozen survived in the end. Who can let this matter go?"
Everyone feels distressed."
"Actually, it's not because of this."
Qingqing shook her head: "Our family takes life and death relatively lightly. As long as the soul is still there, you can reincarnate, but you will lose the memory of your previous life. You can recover it after decades.
Especially those ancestors, they have lived long enough. To put it bluntly, they may not want to continue living. They are just trying to survive until now to protect their descendants.
What really makes me sad is that I have many uncles and aunts in several families who have watched me grow up, and now they are gone.
In the past few days, I have to go to funerals almost every day and watch them being buried. I..."
She couldn't speak any more as she talked, covering her mouth and sobbing softly.
I didn't know how to comfort her, so I could only hold her hand and watch her cry.
After about ten minutes, Qingqing regained some composure, but still asked me in a louder voice: "It was the inner demon that controlled your body that night, right?"
I didn't think much about it and nodded.
But soon I saw that Qingqing's eyes were a little sad, and she asked me again: "The person who kissed me is a demon in his heart, and the one who wants to give me a betrothal gift is also a demon in his heart, right?"
I didn't react until she asked this question.
Just when she was about to speak, Qingqing shook her head and said it's okay. I know you won't say that, but I'm just a little curious. I want to ask you, hasn't Sister Lin sealed the inner demon? Why can he still appear?
"How can I explain it to you?"
I organized my language and repeated to Qingqing the conversation between my inner demon and my inner demon that night.
Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I thought the inner demon had broken out of the seal. Did you hear what my dad just said? When do you plan to set off?"
I was stunned for a moment and asked Qingqing: "What's the date today?"
Qingqing replied: "It's the nineteenth day of the first lunar month."
"Damn it, I slept for more than ten days?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly sat up from the bed, but as soon as I straightened up, I felt a buzzing in my head, and everything in front of me was pitch black, and I almost fainted as soon as I rolled my eyes.
Qingqing hurriedly supported me: "Gu Yan, please leave. My dad said that your mental strength has been exhausted and you are still relatively weak. It is best not to get out of bed. You can rest here for a few days. Anyway, there are still ten days.
.”
"That won't work either. This... I also plan to go back and see if Yingying is at school."
The black fog in front of my eyes slowly disappeared, and my vision gradually recovered.
In a daze, I saw that Qingqing's eyes seemed a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered, took my hand and said, "Okay, Gu Yan, the two ancestors of the family are still awake. You can rest assured to take care of yourself here. I will
Can you ask them to help you go back and take a look?
Didn't Uncle Yang say that as long as the soul is locked up, Yingying's soul will never be able to leave the school, and as long as she is here, the two ancestors will definitely be able to save her soul back to that room."
To be honest, I really want to go back and see it in person.
But I am really out of energy right now. Maybe it was because of the incident just now. I had just said a few words to Qingqing when the sleepiness came over me again.
There was really nothing I could do, so I nodded and told Qingqing that it was okay, then I would trouble the two seniors.
"Oh, please don't say such things to me. Our ancestors said that if it weren't for you, the Liu family would have been completely wiped out this time. They are just thinking of how to thank you.
Fortunately, there are not many Liu family members in the first place. Counting a few dead ancestors, the total casualties are almost half, but...hey!"
She couldn't speak anymore.
In fact, I can tell that Qingqing seems to be indifferent and quite considerate, but I think this should be her deliberate display, in order not to make me feel sad with her.
Although we don't spend much time together, they are our dearest relatives and friends, brothers and sisters after all.
How can you not be sad when you lose so many family members all at once?
We sat like this in silence for a few minutes, she lowered her head and looked at her feet, and I looked at her face.
Later, I couldn't hold on anymore and yawned: "Uncle Yang, is everything okay?"
"Well, Uncle Yang was a guest, so the seniors from both families were fully protecting him at that time."
Qingqing nodded: "But Uncle Yang went back on the eighth day of the lunar month. He said that the company had something to do and he had to go back to deal with it as soon as possible. Taishan probably can't go with you, so he asked you to call him if you have anything to do."
I hummed: "As long as he's fine, I'll take a nap first and I'll talk about the rest when I wake up."
"good."
Qingqing responded, carefully tucked me in, then closed the door and walked out.
The two ancestors of the Liu family left early the next morning, and it would take them three days to come back no matter how quickly they arrived.
I planned at that time that by the time they came back, I would be in good health. If Yingying was safe by then, I would feel more at ease and it would be settled.
So I stayed at Liu's house and quietly waited for the news.
As Qingqing said, this place is really boring. Apart from reading, I just play Go.
Moreover, my head was so confused that I could only sit down all day long. Only with Qingqing's support could I barely walk around the yard twice.
To be honest, although it is winter, the scenery of the Liu family's ancestral house is still quite good. The yard is very large, decorated with stone carvings, rockeries, and even two plum trees beside the courtyard wall, which are still in bloom.
This makes me feel very surprised. How do they survive dozens of degrees below zero?
Anyway, Qingqing took good care of me as a patient. Every day, I had delicious food and drinks, including wild game caught in the mountains. Occasionally, she even gave me two bear paws to improve my life.
Two days passed like this, and in the early morning of the third day, Qingqing suddenly opened the door and ran in.
"Someone is coming from the Hui family, come out with me quickly!"
