After the banquet, Xu Guangcheng and Zhong Wuchuan went back to Zhong's house.

In the room where almost all of Zhong Wuchuan's teenage years were recorded, Xu Guangcheng picked up a dusty copy of the math tutoring for the college entrance examination: "The book from seven years ago has not been thrown away or sold?"

"My parents are frugal people."

"It can be seen that you are usually very frugal."

Xu Guangcheng returned the guidance book to the original place, and asked Zhong Wuchuan, "How much money did you lose?"

"They are all relatives of our own family, so how can we care about so much." Zhong Wuchuan said, "The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy."

"This is a bit TVB. If you add the sentence 'Are you hungry, I will cook a bowl of noodles for you', it will be more similar."

Xu Guangcheng obviously does not agree with Zhong Wuchuan's attitude of abusing good people.

Zhong Wuchuan blushed at his teasing, and said, "Don't be kidding! By the way, are you hungry? If you are, I'll feed you."

"No need." Xu Guangcheng said.

Zhong Wuchuan saw that he was not happy, and added: "Actually, I understand in my heart that they deliberately took advantage of me, but I was also deliberately taken advantage of by them. The money was used as a fee to keep my mouth shut, so that they would not ask me when I got married and what we are relation."

"What is our relationship?" Xu Guangcheng asked with a smile, "Why don't I know?"

Zhong Wuchuan realized that his words were wrong, he dug a hole for himself, and hurriedly said: "Old Xu, what do you think about the red envelope?"

"There must be something strange about this matter."

Xu Guangcheng grinned and said something innocuous.

Zhong Wuchuan bumped him with his elbow and said, "Everyone can see it, so I need you to remind me."

"Since you also see that there is a conspiracy behind the red envelopes, why do you still ask me?"

With that said, Xu Guangcheng went downstairs to take a shower.

Zhong Wuchuan sat at the desk and calculated the loss of bringing cosmetics to relatives.

……

……

At 10:30 in the evening, after washing, the two lay side by side on the large bed that was a bit unexpectedly spacious.

"I didn't expect there to be a double bed in your room," Xu Guangcheng said, "Your parents didn't even prepare the wedding room for you, did they?"

"If this is the case, I can only say sorry to them. I have made up my mind that I will never get married or have children! I can't hurt people..."

"When did you get married and have children and get connected with the victim?"

"If it happened to me, it would be harmful," Zhong Wuchuan said, "I don't know what kind of creature I am now, how long I can live, whether my appearance will mutate, and if it will mutate, what will it look like..."

"So you don't get married? You don't want to spread your mutated genes?"

Zhong Wuchuan nodded and said, "This is the most correct decision I can think of."

"But... aren't you afraid of loneliness?" Xu Guangcheng said, "Life without a partner, an empty room, the emptiness of doing nothing...Loneliness kills people...It makes people go crazy, and the inside of the body slowly emits a rotten smell..."

"You have lived alone for more than 700 years, why didn't you go crazy?" Zhong Wuchuan asked back.

Xu Guangcheng said: "You have read a lot of novels about cultivating immortals, and you should know that cultivators usually spend 100 to 200 years in retreat at a time. Time is to us..."

"It's the same for me. I can cultivate immortality, and I can ask everyone in Shanhai Pet Center how to control the mutated body. I can also use myself as a research object for scientific research!" Zhong Wuchuan said, "The world is so big, there are so many things, I can constantly find new fun and indulge in learning.”

"In other words, you never worry about being lonely?"

Zhong Wuchuan nodded and said, "I'm only worried that after this allocation, I won't have enough time to spend with my parents."

"I didn't expect you to be a filial son."

Xu Guangcheng smiled, and asked suddenly: "During dinner, you introduced your relatives to me, and I found out that most of them are not surnamed Zhong?"

"That's right, most of them are not surnamed Zhong. In fact, my dad's surname was not Zhong..."

Zhong Wuchuan looked at the ceiling and talked about the family history.

"Twisting Le Town was originally Zhongjia Town. Ninety percent of the people in the town have the surname Zhong. There are ancestral graves, ancestral halls, genealogy, and high officials. Because of the legend of the Zhong family god, everyone in the county believes that Zhongshan has Baby, only the Zhong family knows how to open and take it out.

In the Taiping era, everyone obeyed the rules and would not blatantly covet other people's things.But in troubled times...

In the decades of the Republic of China, for this non-existent treasure, Zhang Dashuai today, tomorrow Wang Dashuai, and finally the Japanese... The Zhong family only hated that their ancestors did not leave a treasure for themselves, otherwise they would not be killed again and again because they couldn't get the treasure... ...It's nearly wiped out...

My grandfather moved here after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, there was only one family named Zhong left in the town.The old man was in poor health, and his children died long ago.My grandfather thought he was pitiful, so he recognized him as a godfather and took the old man home to live with him.

Later, my grandfather got cancer, and when he was dying, he took my grandfather's hand and said, "The Zhong family has come to an end, and I hope that after death, someone will offer a stick of incense to the ancestors and grandparents every year and festival to say goodbye, otherwise he will die with regret... …

My grandfather was kind-hearted. Seeing that he was in such pain, he adopted my father to Master Zhong's family.This is why my family name is Zhong, but my relatives are not Zhong. "

"I didn't expect there to be such twists and turns behind. Your grandfather is a good man!"

Xu Guangcheng sighed.

Zhong Wuchuan said: "At the dinner table today, my relatives clearly took advantage of me, and this is the root cause. They suspected that my grandfather was partial to my father, so they adopted my father to Grandpa Zhong."

"How do you say that?"

"It's not because of the legendary baby," Zhong Wuchuan said, "They think that the grandfather must have passed the Zhong family's baby to my father before he died! They think my father is just pretending to be poor and picking on a dead iron rooster. "

"But the treasure of the Zhong family is actually non-existent, right?"

"Even if the Zhong family really has treasures, after so many years of tossing around, they would have been poached and snatched away."

Zhong Wuchuan sighed and said, "But no one believes the truth!"

"It's getting late, turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

……

……

In the morning, Zhong Wuchuan got up and saw the windows open, the balcony door open, and Xu Guangcheng standing in the autumn morning mist, as if returning from a fairyland.

"Old Xu, you are really... Daogu Xianfeng!"

After saying compliments, Zhong Wuchuan and Xu Guangcheng went downstairs to have breakfast together, and then went for a stroll in the town.

In Twist Town today, the mist didn't seem to clear until 09:30.

Zhong Wuchuan walked in the misty town, as if walking in a maze.

"Many places in the town have been rebuilt," he said shyly, "The familiar places before are all demolished now."

"The truth of natural development."

Xu Guangcheng walked and watched casually, then stopped suddenly.

Zhong Wuchuan said quickly: "What's going on? Did you encounter something strange?"

"you are right."

Xu Guangcheng smiled slightly, and walked towards a hardware store on the street of the town.

It stands to reason that hardware stores are usually open or ready to open after nine o'clock in the morning, but this store is different. The door is closed and the door is full of people.

"What happened?" Zhong Wuchuan asked, "Why are there so many people!"

"What can happen, it's not because of the red envelope!"

An old lady with leaky teeth said ghostly: "Lao Li picked up the largest red envelope last week, and went on a business trip the next day. He didn't prepare 1 yuan according to the instructions in the red envelope... Now the ghost came to the door. It's too miserable to die!"

"Old Uncle Li..."

Zhong Wuchuan was shocked.

"Yeah, dead! He was dead when he found out! His mother-in-law was so frightened that she passed out!"

"When did this happen?"

"This one……"

The old lady with a leaky mouth thought for a long time, and said: "My grandson said that someone came to report the case at around [-] o'clock this morning, saying that Lao Li was dead... people from the police station are now at his house to inquire about the case!"

"That's true..."

Zhong Wuchuan's heart was heavy.

The residents even sighed.

"Old Li is really unlucky! His family doesn't lack the 1 yuan, so why..."

"Yeah, yeah! Who made this red envelope game?"

"Such an evil thing, can people do it?! I think, [-]% of it is a ghost who wants to die!"

……

Most of the townspeople are not well-educated, not to mention that the gossiping people gathered here are all old people who believe in ghosts and gods on weekdays, but now that weird things happen, they are all trying to trick ghosts.

Zhong Wuchuan patiently listened to their nonsense, returned to Xu Guangcheng, and said, "They said that what happened this time was the death of a ghost."

"A ghost seeks his life?"

Zhong Wuchuan said: "That's what those grannies said. They said that before the strange red envelope incident happened, there was a case in the town."

"tell me the story!"

"Two years ago, Ah Fa Snack hired a girl surnamed Cui as a waiter. Xiao Cui is good-looking and hardworking, and soon got on good terms with Ah Fa's son."

"and after?"

"At noon on the [-]th of last month, Ah Fa Snacks received a takeaway order. Xiao Cui took the takeaway out and never came back! When the police found her, it was already seven days later, and the body began to rot. The forensic doctor said that she I have encountered..."

"Find out who..."

"On the second day after the body was found, the person who ordered takeaway on the day Xiao Cui disappeared turned himself in to the police station. He said that he was singing with his friends at KTV, and he was already drunk when the takeaway was delivered. He couldn't help it when he saw the beautiful girl. Hands and feet... and his friends coaxed him...but he denied the murder...Surveillance also showed that Xiao Cui was conscious when he left the KTV!"
