"Brother, what did I do wrong? Why did your ancestors suddenly turn against each other?"
In the woodshed, Yan Shouyi was pushed in mercilessly. He turned around unhappily and asked the evil ghosts who were guarding him.
Several evil ghosts sneered: "Our ancestor's thoughts are beyond the reach of us servants. If he says to lock you up, we will lock you up. When the old man feels better and nods and says to release him, we will release him immediately."
people."
Yan Shouyi smiled bitterly: "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Who would have thought that the leading evil ghost would dare to talk back to Yan Shouyi, so he picked up a piece of wood on the ground and wanted to hit Yan Shouyi, but Yan Shouyi dodged it.
The evil spirit said viciously: "You brat, if you break into the door of our Liu family, you have to listen to our Liu family. If you dare to talk back again, believe it or not, I will eat you alive?"
Several other evil ghosts also showed cold smiles: "We haven't seen a stranger for a long time, and we're all dumbfounded. You'd better not think about escaping. We'll stay outside the door. If
If we find out what your intentions are, don't blame us for eating you!"
Several evil spirits thought they had scared Yan Shouyi, so they walked out of the woodshed laughing.
Then, the woodshed door was closed.
"Only you guys want to eat me?" Yan Shouyi shook his head speechlessly. If he didn't want to provoke Liu Jingkang, these evil ghosts wouldn't even be able to fill the gap between his teeth.
If he is really pushed into a hurry, it is not certain who will eat who.
Yan Shou looked around at the dilapidated appearance, and after making sure that the evil spirits would not break in, he recited a spell and easily unlocked the shackles on his hands and feet.
The evil ghosts who escorted him should have been slaves of the Liu family during their lifetime, and they will continue to serve Liu Jingkang after death. They are not the real Liu family, but just vicious dogs raised by the Liu family.
Although they are more powerful than ordinary imps, they are nothing more than that. If Yan Shouyi is determined and really wants to deal with them, these evil ghosts are not enough to watch.
All in all, it was Yan Shouyi who didn't want to make any more enemies.
However, he couldn't figure out why Liu Jingkang's attitude towards him suddenly changed and even wanted to lock him up.
How to solve this dilemma?
After thinking about it, there was a sudden movement outside the door. Yan Shouyi showed a different expression, and then he hurriedly put on the hand and foot shackles in a fake way, and found a haystack to sit on.
The door of the woodshed was pushed open, and the girl who looked exactly like Liu Yiren who was standing behind the old lady of the Liu family came in holding a teacup in her hand.
She looked at Yan Shou from a distance, then walked over cautiously, stopped one or two meters away from Yan Shou, put down the tea cup, and took a few steps back:
"Are you thirsty? Grandma asked me to bring you a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Yan Shouyi was also sizing up the girl. He raised his hand to reveal the shackles that had been released, and he generously picked up the water glass and drank it down in one gulp.
This startled the girl: "How did you get your shackles unlocked?"
Yan Shouyi smiled and said: "I'm surprised, are you a ghost or am I a ghost?"
The girl came back to her senses and was a little angry: "I'll have someone tie it up for you right now."
"It's useless. I'm not even afraid of shackles, so why should I be afraid of you broken ropes?" Yan Shou paused, put down the tea cup, and said hello: "Hello, the eldest lady of the Liu family."
The girl was stunned: "How do you know my identity?"
"Yesterday I was wondering why Liu Yiren was the second young lady, and where did the eldest lady of the Liu family go? But I just saw you behind the old man, and I understood." Yan Shouyi said with a smile.
When the girl heard Liu Yiren, she quickly asked: "Do you know Yiyi? I haven't seen her for a long time. How is she doing now?"
"She's doing well," Yan Shouyi said, pointing to the pattern on his arm bandage, "and she always likes to draw this on others."
When the girl saw the pattern on Yan Shouyi's arm, she couldn't help but show a look of joy: "Yiyi is really, I used this pattern to tease her when she was a child, but I didn't expect that she would still be so childish when she grew up."
Yan Shouyi suddenly realized that the poop pattern was passed on to Liu Yiren by the girl in front of him.
Thinking about it, the relationship between Liu Yiren and her sister should be very good, otherwise she would not like this indecent pattern so much. Liu Yiren is still so "childish" now, which may have something to do with the fact that she has been missing her sister in her heart.
Thinking of this, Yan Shouyi couldn't help but ask: "How did you die?"
The girl glared at Yan Shouyi: "Don't you know it's rude to ask this question?"
"But it has to be asked anyway. After all, this kind of question is not like gender. It can be seen at a glance." Yan Shouyi was not afraid of the eldest lady of the Liu family at all.
The girl had nothing to do with Yan Shouyi, so she had to say: "Cancer."
Yan Shouyi remained silent.
What a beautiful girl, but she was jealous of her beauty and got cancer.
Judging from her current appearance, Liu Mingzhi must have carefully curtailed her appearance after her death, and then sent her to the ancestral home to serve her ancestors, so that she could continue to stay in the earthly world and not leave forever.
The girl introduced herself generously: "My name is Liu Jiaren."
Yan Shouyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Liu Jiaren: "Yan Shouyi."
"I know your name, I heard it in the lobby just now." Liu Jiaren said.
"Then you should also know the purpose of my coming, and you must be planning to tell me some news, right?" Yan Shouyi deduced.
Liu Jiaren nodded: "My grandma asked me to come to you. There is some news that you must know."
As soon as Yan Shou sat up on the haystack, he looked like he was listening attentively. Liu Jiaren squatted opposite him, picked up the grass roots on the ground, and played with them casually.
"Although Great Grandpa is the Ghost King, he has never sucked the souls of living people for so many years, nor has he allowed other people in the clan to suck souls. He only allows everyone to smoke some tributes and incense, so everyone is very weak, especially Grandpa. He stayed
He has been in the world for too long, and his energy has been exhausted. If we don't think of something to do, I'm afraid he will lose his mind soon."
Yan Shouyi wondered: "What does this have to do with him imprisoning me?"
"Grandpa knew that you were a descendant of Lu Ban and wanted you to rebuild the ancestral home for us and find a way to continue his legacy. But he was worried that you wouldn't agree, so he simply arrested you and planned to imprison you for a few days before forcing you
Take action." Liu Jiaren replied.
Yan Shouyi said helplessly:
"Can't he talk it over properly? I haven't refused yet..."
"My great-grandfather has a rather violent personality, and his methods are simple and simple. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, he attacks you directly. But he is not a bad person," Liu Jiaren said. "The reason why I came to you is also my great-grandmother's intention. If it hadn't been for these years,
Grandma is by Grandpa’s side and always helps him, so Grandpa will definitely make many big mistakes.”
Thinking of the old woman sitting next to Liu Jingkang, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, Yan Shouyi suddenly felt less angry.
The Liu family are not all bad people, or they are bad for a reason.
After traveling around the world for many years, Yan Shouyi has always understood that there are very few truly bad people in this world. If possible, he would like to be a good person who is loved by others.
How do you say something?
It is not that you are rich because you are kind, but you are kind because you are rich. People will only think about how to become kind after satisfying their own desires.
There are many bad people, and more importantly, life is helpless.
Liu Jiaren's words also cleared up some doubts in Yan Shouyi's mind.
No wonder after arriving at the ancestral home of the Liu family, the ghosts of the Liu family that Yan Shouyi saw were so weak and hungry.
After all, ghosts are ghosts, they cannot practice Taoism, and they are not gods. Simply sucking in tributes and incense is not enough. They can only last for a while, but sooner or later problems will still arise.
If Liu Jingkang hadn't had the power of the Ghost King, the four hundred years would have been enough for him to lose his mind several times.
"Since your great-grandmother knows this situation, why don't you advise your great-grandfather?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Liu Jiaren shook her head: "My great-grandfather and my great-grandmother are people from ancient times. The concept of male superiority and inferiority to women is very strong. My great-grandmother can only advise my great-grandfather in private. It is impossible to oppose my great-grandfather's idea openly. Otherwise, my great-grandfather
Your position in our Liu family is no longer guaranteed."
"Okay..." Yan Shouyi could completely understand Liu Jiaren's answer.
Liu Jiaren said again: "Grandma asked me to remind you that grandpa will summon you again tomorrow. If you want to leave here as soon as possible, you can only seize the opportunity tomorrow and take advantage of tonight to think of a solution.
Bar."
This level lasts only one day. Liu Jingkang is indeed an old monster who has lived for four hundred years, and his sense of time is much longer than that of ordinary people.
The only thought in Yan Shouyi's mind now was that he had told Liu Yiren in advance to go back if she didn't see anyone at noon.
Faced with the current predicament, Yan Shouyi did not show too much worry on his face.
As long as Liu Jingkang doesn't want to kill him, it won't be a big problem.
With the skills of the descendant of Lu Ban, it is not difficult at all to extend Liu Jingkang's life.
But because of what Liu Jingkang did today, Yan Shouyi secretly planned that he would not let him get his wish easily tomorrow.
Because the descendants of Lu Ban are not soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others!
Seeing that Yan Shou was deep in thought, Liu Jiaren stopped disturbing him, took the teacup, and quietly left the woodshed.
Yan Shouyi looked at the closed door of the woodshed with a thoughtful expression.
