Record of Yin and Yang

When Zhang Wei was in a daze, Gu Jiu suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him. Zhang Wei jumped up from the chair like a spring, and stared at Gu Jiu in horror.

Gu Jiu pretended not to notice his strangeness, and smiled in surprise, "Brother Zhang, you don't believe in ghosts in this world, do you?"

Zhang Wei pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, "No, I don't believe it, how could there be ghosts?"

At this time, Zhang Wei's wife boiled hot water, brought a footbath over, and asked Gu Jiu and Shao Yi to fetch water to soak their feet.

"Brother Zhang, let's go back to the room first." Gu Jiu said.

Zhang Wei still didn't come back to his senses, he didn't hear what Gu Jiu said at all, and nodded indiscriminately.

Gu Jiu took Shao Yi's arm and walked out, followed Zhang Wei's wife to their room. When going out, Gu Jiu deliberately said to Shao Yi while walking, "Don't do anything wrong in your life, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Female ghost, you didn't harm her, so you don't need to be afraid."

These words came in with a gust of cool wind, making Zhang Wei sweat profusely, unaware that when Gu Jiu turned the corner, he turned his head and cast a slightly meaningful look.

Before Gu Jiu chatted with Zhang Wei, basically Zhang Wei was bragging and Gu Jiu was flattering, but he also got some information from it.

Shao Xuelin was "forced" to marry Dong Yiyue at the beginning, so Dong Juren felt guilty for both Shao Xuelin and Dong Yiyue, and gave Dong Yiyue all of Dong Yiyun's dowry. Dong Yiyun.Dong Juren also spent extra money to buy a house in the town as a gift to Shao Xuelin and Dong Yiyue, so that Shao Xuelin could study more conveniently.So after marriage, Shao Xuelin lived a very happy life, he didn't live in the village anymore, he only went back to the village to visit his parents during the holidays.

Zhang Wei's family background is good, but he is a fool and a bit greedy for money. He looks like a middle-aged gangster. He said that he has a good relationship with Shao Xuelin. Shang helped him set up a storefront and opened a grocery store.Now Zhang Wei's eldest son is in charge of the shop. Zhang Wei said that his wife and daughter-in-law will do the work at home, and if he has no money, his son will take it. He doesn't have to do anything every day, just be a happy master.

Zhang Wei also said that his family's house was the first in the nearby villages, and it was built with the help of his good brother Shao Xuelin.

At that time, Gu Jiu took advantage of the opportunity to praise Shao Xuelin for being a brother, but Zhang Wei laughed and said that he did a great favor to Shao Xuelin back then, which is what Shao Xuelin should do.

Gu Jiu asked him what he could do for help, but Zhang Wei changed the subject again.

Zhang Wei didn't feel it when he was bragging, he didn't know that his tone and eyes were not the kind of complacency that a small person flatters a big person, but that he showed his disapproval of Shao Xuelin everywhere, and his words were full of respect from a county. flatter his sense of superiority.Like a blood-sucking leech grabbing the opponent to drink blood, he still does not forget to raise his head and show off to the surroundings: the opponent should let him suck blood, if he does not let him suck blood, he will let the opponent do so.

In the room, Gu Jiu was sitting on the bed, and the little brother was lying on his lap with his paws, leaning against his abdomen.Gu Jiu took off his shoes and socks, stepped his cold feet into the hot water, sighed comfortably, squeezed his hands under his little brother's belly, and said, "I think the survivor is Zhang Wei."

Thirteen years ago, the people in Wulin Village knew that ghosts were haunted near the ruined temple, and they didn’t usually pass by. But it’s been so long. If Zhang Wei had nothing to do with Dong Yiyun’s tragic death, Gu Jiu and the others mentioned the ghost in red there. Sometimes, the reaction should not be that big, if it has nothing to do with it, you will be afraid of ghosts, but more of it is the indescribable awe of gods and ghosts.

In addition to Zhang Wei's abnormality, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi also compared the figure drawn by Dong Yiyun, the similarity reached 80.00%, but Zhang Wei was stronger than that figure.

Shao Yi said: "Let Dong Yiyun confirm tomorrow night."

Dong Yiyun was free for the first time, and it was nearly dark when they left, so she will not come over tonight.

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "It's just right, let's go to the village tomorrow to inquire about the relationship between Shao Xuelin and Zhang Wei, and see if it's what we guessed."

Thanks to Shao Xuelin who built such a good house for Zhang Wei's family, the house was airtight when sleeping, and Gu Jiu and Shao Yi slept beautifully.When I saw Zhang Wei and his wife in the morning, I was listening to his wife complaining that Zhang Wei forgot to turn off the light when he went to bed last night. The oil lamp was on all night, which was a waste of money.

Gu Jiu smiled faintly. It seemed that Zhang Wei was really frightened last night, so he didn't dare to turn off the light and go to sleep. Even so, he still had two huge dark circles under his eyes, so he probably didn't sleep much.

Zhang Wei didn't have enough sleep, and he had other things on his mind. He was in a bad mood, so he glared at his wife impatiently, showing a bit of hostility, and his wife immediately stopped talking.

Gu Jiu pretended not to see it, and greeted Zhang Wei. After breakfast, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi offered to leave, but Zhang Wei left even faster than them, and the three of them went out together. After a while, turning around, Zhang Wei was already in a hurry and was about to leave the village.

Gu Jiu stared at Zhang Weiyuan's back for a while, then turned around and entered the village with Shao Yi.They used the cheap food in the village as an excuse to buy some rations from the villagers so that they could travel quickly, and they chatted with a man who was about the same age as Zhang Wei but had a much more weathered face.After chatting for a while, Gu Jiu changed the topic to Shao Xuelin and Zhang Wei.

When the other party heard that Gu Jiu and the two stayed at Zhang Wei's house last night, and saw that Gu Jiu was curious about the relationship between Shao Xuelin and Zhang Wei, he smiled sarcastically, "It must be Zhang Wei who is bragging with you again."

The man said that the relationship between Zhang Wei and Shao Xuelin was indeed very close in the past few years, but in recent years the relationship has not been as good as before, and now Shao Xuelin and Zhang Wei are rarely seen walking around.

Gu Jiu pretended to sigh: "Didn't it mean that they were good brothers who grew up together? I don't know why they became unfamiliar. Although Brother Zhang exaggerated a bit last night, I think it was because he didn't want to be a brother with Shao Xianzun."

The man sneered, "Zhang Wei used to be a gangster. When he was busy stealing chickens and dogs all day long and not doing good things, Shao Xianzun was diligently studying with his teacher. In the past, Shao Xianzun didn't like Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei also looked down on Shao Xianzun for the behavior of his neighbors, always saying that he is hypocritical. These two people don't like each other, they are clearly incompatible, and they are not good brothers who grew up together."

Gu Jiu was puzzled and said, "But I heard from Brother Zhang that the house in his family and the shops in the town outside cannot do without the help of Shao Xianzun."

Although the man doesn't like Zhang Wei, when talking about Zhang Wei's family's good life now, he is envious, "I heard that Zhang Wei once helped Shao Xianzun a lot. But Zhang Wei is not grateful, he just takes it for granted, Shao Xianzun has been impatient to deal with him these few years, and when others mention Zhang Wei in front of Shao Xianzun, he will still show a look of fear."

Gu Jiu secretly nodded in agreement, Zhang Wei looked like he was not a self-aware person, and he was afraid that he would gain an inch when he climbed the local mountain of Shaoxian Zun.Even though Shao Xuelin has rejected him, he still brags to others, because Gu Jiu and the others are strangers, and they don't know the inside story, bragging to them can satisfy his poor vanity.

From this point of view, this is not a reward for being kind, it is clear that Shao Xuelin was taken by Zhang Wei for some reason, so when he was a scholar, a scholar, or even a county venerable, he had to humbly curry favor and keep his mouth shut.

But in the face of Zhang Wei's endless greed, everyone would feel bored, let alone Shao Xuelin, who is now a county parent official.Shao Xuelin is considered to be in a high position now, how can he tolerate Zhang Wei and other civilians blackmailing him time and time again, isn't that stepping on his head to act wildly?

But looking at how Shao Xuelin has been a county honorer for a few years, Zhang Wei still lives a prosperous life, and the shop was opened with the help of Shao Xuelin after he became an official, so this handle should be two-way, they are grasshoppers on the same rope.

There are big and small grasshoppers, and whoever is more ruthless and more open-minded will have the right to speak.In the past, Shao Xuelin was still a scholar, focused on earning a future, and didn't have enough power in his hands, so Zhang Wei once had the right to speak.When Shao Xuelin became an official, he had more power in his hands, and the right to speak was slowly transferred to him, so he also gained the confidence to distance himself from Zhang Wei and gradually alienate him.

As for this clue, there is no need to confirm it, it should be related to Dong Yiyun's tragic death as Gu Jiu and the others guessed last night.

After weighing the rations, when Gu Jiu and the others left the village, they secretly made a mark outside Zhang Wei's house, and when they saw Dong Yiyun, they just asked her to come over to confirm.

The two returned along the original road and continued to live in the ruined temple.

After the stinging time has passed, all things have revived, and all kinds of small animals have become active. After returning to the ruined temple, the younger brother hastened away, and took the four little ones to walk around in ambush, catching small bugs, playing half dead, and throwing them away , or just squat under the tree motionless, and then suddenly jump up at a certain moment.

It almost bit a bird that had just landed on the tree. The bird was frightened by this, flapped its wings and circled in the sky, and dared not fall back to the tree for a long time.

The little brother opened his mouth again and again, making a delicate bird sound, and the four little ones floating behind his tail tilted their heads ignorantly, not knowing what language it was, anyway, just learn it from the cat father.

Previously, they were busy inquiring about the affairs of Dong and Shao. After the formation was broken, Gu Jiu and the others left directly because they knew they had to return to the ruined temple, so they were not busy dealing with the bones scattered all over the place.At this moment, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi calculated a spot, dug a pit there, packed up the bones and buried them in the pit.

In the past, when they passed through similar mass burials, they would basically do a ritual to comfort the dead, but the owner of the dozens of bones here had already been eaten by Dong Yiyun at the moment of death, and it was useless to perform rituals.

They waited in the ruined temple until it was almost dark before Dong Yiyun floated back, with a very strange expression on her face, which was incomprehensible.

"What did you see?" Gu Jiu asked her.

"Dong Yiyue is pregnant again." Dong Yiyun said.

"and then?"

Dong Yiyun showed contempt and gloating eyes, "But that child is a wild man."

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi: "..."

So this expression, contempt is for Dong Yiyue, gloating should be for Shao Xuelin.

Dong Yiyun said quietly: "I originally wanted Shao Xuelin and Dong Yiyue to die immediately, but now I don't think so, why should I be trapped here for 13 years without dying or alive, and it will be easy for them to die?"

She looked resentful, "I want them to live in pain and despair like me."
