two lives

Chapter 22 The Ancestral Mission

The two rushed out of the room and came to Shiba's bathing room. Uncle He rushed over from downstairs. Seeing the two of them standing outside, their expressions relaxed a bit.

Ji Chenyu stood outside the door and shouted: "What's your ghost name? Did you meet a ghost?"

After a burst of cursing in the bathroom, Shiba said with some tears: "My hair can't be opened, do you have scissors?"

Imagining the man with tangled hair in the bathroom, Ji Chenyu couldn't help bursting into laughter, and Yu Kuo and Uncle He followed suit, but not as exaggeratedly.Uncle He smiled and hurriedly went out to find the scissors. There were bursts of cursing in the bathroom, but the two people outside the door had already left, leaving Shiba inside fighting with her hair.

The two of them waited in the living room for almost an hour before the people upstairs came down slowly, wearing a new home clothes for Ms. You who might live here at any time.Ms. You is already slender, but her clothes still look fat on Shiba's body.

Eighteen, with a towel wrapped around his head, pouted and glared at the person who was still laughing. If it wasn't for his tall and burly family, he might have jumped on him and bit him a long time ago.

Ji Chenyu was a little surprised. This eighteen-year-old girl turned out to be a delicate girl, with a thin face, paired with medium-sized eyes, and a small nose and mouth, which gave people a weird feeling. .

Uncle He smiled and looked at Ji Chenyu from behind, and then at Shiba: "This girl is quite cute, do you think she is Xiao Yu?"

Ji Chenyu glared at Uncle He: "Don't even think about it, is the meal ready?"

"Alright, alright, come and eat." Uncle He returned to the kitchen to serve the meal, not forgetting to sigh deeply, lest others would not know how sorry he was.

Shiba also stared at Ji Chenyu and Yu Kuo at this time, seeing that Yu Kuo couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and went to the restaurant to meet Uncle He.

Ji Chenyu stared at Shiba bluntly and looked back: "How is it, is it handsome?"

"Well, handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Ji Chenyu smiled, the naughty kind.

"Then we have a chance to have a long-term relationship?" Shiba said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Unfortunately, I have a boyfriend, I'm sorry." As he said that, he also entered the restaurant, not forgetting to stand in a place that couldn't be closer to Li Yukuo.

"You two? Can't you?" Shiba looked at the two of them up and down.Yu Kuo glared at Ji Chenyu, but he didn't deny it, and Uncle He sighed again.

"Why not? Are we unsuitable?" Ji Chenyu didn't care about that, just looked at Shiba. If she dared to say anything, she was ready to throw him out.

Shiba followed up the restaurant, looked at Yu Kuo's face, and asked, "When did you give birth?"

"Why do you want to tell your fortune?" Ji Chenyu was even more unhappy.

"What's wrong with fortune-telling? I'm a fortune-teller. My father, my grandpa, and my great-grandpa too. It's passed down from our ancestors." Shiba said, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat without waiting for anyone to let him. Nodding while eating, he kept praising the delicious food.

Uncle He was satisfied to see that his food was recognized again, and asked, "Miss, can you give it to me?"

"Well, okay, I finished eating, and now my mind is full of eating."

"That's fine, let's count it after we finish eating, there's no rush."

Ji Chenyu and Yu Kuo also ate a little bit, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Shiba who kept stuffing food into his mouth. Uncle He was even more nervous to serve her a bowl of soup. Shiba seemed to be ready at any time The appearance of being choked to death.

The wind blew away, and there was only some soup left on the table full of food, Shiba put down his chopsticks contentedly.

Uncle He asked distressedly: "How long has it been since your child has eaten? Why is it the same as the kid upstairs?"

"Upstairs? Is there someone upstairs? Why didn't I see you?"

"It's a long story. Let's talk about your will first. Isn't it a long story?"

Uncle He placed the cut fruits in the living room, and the three of them moved to the living room, finding the most comfortable position.Uncle He was about to clean up the dishes when Ji Chenyu stopped him: "Uncle He, come and listen."

Uncle He looked at the three people in bewilderment, then turned around and sat on the sofa beside him.

The three men stared at Shiba, waiting for her story.

Shiba cleared his throat in a serious manner, took out a bamboo tube-like thing from his fat furniture pocket, opened the lid carefully, and poured out a paper roll from inside.The paper roll has turned brownish yellow, and some shallow cracks have appeared on it.

Shiba carefully unfolded the paper roll, and there were some seal characters written on the top of the paper roll.In the eyes of the three men, these words were like a heavenly book, and they couldn't recognize any of them after reading them for a long time.

Seeing that the eyes of the three people moved from the suicide note to his face, he raised his chin and said: "This is an ancestral suicide note, and only our family knows the contents. Unfortunately, our family has not been prosperous. I was the only daughter in my generation, and my father finally handed over the suicide note to me when he had no other choice."

"Stop gossiping and focus on the important points." Ji Chenyu interrupted Shiba impatiently.

"I'm just going to talk about the main point. If you want to know how the suicide note is related to you, you need to know the history of our family to explain it clearly."

Uncle He smiled and said, "Xiao Yu is short-tempered, so just listen to the story, little girl, please speak slowly."

Shiba smiled sweetly at Uncle He, turned back with a straight face and continued talking about her family.

The first generation of their ancestors was named Mao Chuyi, who was orphaned by a plague. Although he was young, he was the only person in the village who was not infected with the plague and the only one who survived.At that time, he was still young, so he didn't know what it meant. He just looked at his parents, and everyone in the village lay there motionless.He was so frightened that he ran out of the village by himself.He felt that he had been running for a long time, until he was tired from running, so he sat down on the ground, looking at the surrounding barren mountains and wild forests, he could only cry in fear.

After all, he was young and fell asleep crying and crying. When he woke up, he found that he was no longer in the woods just now, but on a warm and comfortable bed.This bed is big and has a scent.He looked at the room again, the room was also very big, there were many beautiful tables and chairs, and beautiful things were placed on various shelves.There was a very beautiful person sitting in the room, and the beauty made his heart beat faster.

Ji Chenyu couldn't help interrupting Shiba's narration: "Your ancestors didn't compose the story well enough, why don't you use some polite words, it's too white."

Eighteen whitened Ji Chenyu's eyes: "This is passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. This is what he personally experienced. It's just because he is still young and has never read books. How can there be so many words. Besides, talking too much to you people You have to understand the awkward words."

Yu Kuo looked at Ji Chenyu with a smile: "Just listen to the story told by the kindergarten teacher. If you interrupt me, you won't be able to finish listening to today's story."

Shiba still stared at Ji Chenyu: "You are the stupidest in this room."

Just as Ji Chenyu was about to argue, he was blocked by Yu Kuo's eyes.

Eighteen looked at the will and then told the story.

Seeing him awake, the pretty man smiled at him even more beautifully.On the first day of junior high school, I hurriedly closed my mouth that was about to drool, feeling my face was hot.

"Are you awake?" The beautiful man came to the bed, touched the forehead of the first day of junior high school, and then said, "You don't remember me."

Chuyi looked at this person in confusion, how could he forget such a beautiful person if he had seen him before?

The beautiful man said: "A year ago when you were playing in the mud by the stream in the mountains, did you meet a person who couldn't walk and asked you for food?"

It was only in the first day of the first day that I remembered that there was such a thing.At that time, he only had a piece of steamed bun in his hand, which was baked to him by his mother. His parents came back late from work in the mountains, so they prepared the food in advance.Seeing that the man was too hungry to walk, he gave him his bun.But that person is not so beautiful.

The pretty man smiled and said, "That's a shape-changing technique, a small spell that hides one's true appearance." The mouth of the first-year student opened wide again.Aren't spells only found in legends?He liked best stories about people with spells.

The man continued: "At that time, I hadn't eaten for several days. Your steamed bun helped me a lot. To thank you, I gave you a sachet, remember?"

Thinking about it on the first day of the junior high school, there was indeed a sachet, the scent was very similar to this room, but he didn't know where to put it after only carrying it for a few days.He looked at the man with a guilty conscience, afraid that he would be angry when he found out that he had lost the sachet.

The pretty man seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Did you lose the sachet? Unfortunately, if you didn't lose it, that sachet could have saved your family's life."

On the first day of the junior high school, I looked at the man in confusion.

The pretty man patted his head and said, "Stop talking about that, since you are the only one now, you can stay with me and help me tidy up the room."

It was only after the first day of junior high school that I realized what that person meant, and I regretted for a long time that I missed my family.But at that time, he was dazed by the sudden excitement, and he felt that it was a great thing to live in such a nice house and be with such a beautiful person.

It was only when I lived in the first day of junior high school that I realized that this house was just a room in a large courtyard.There are many people living in this big courtyard, but they don't come here very often.This beautiful person seems to be the most powerful person in this big courtyard, and everyone is afraid of him.Only a tall, strong man with a black face was not afraid of him, and later he knew that the man was Qiu Shi.

Although he lived here, the man never told him what his name was. He only asked Chu Yi to call him son, as if he was the only one in the whole yard.

In this way, the young master taught him how to read, write, and read some strange books in his spare time.He's pretty smart in the first day of junior high school, and he's a quick learner, which makes the young master very happy.

In the blink of an eye, he was ten years old, and he was much stronger.The people in the yard began to get busy, as if it was about some big event, but no one told him what it was.He doesn't care either, he only cares about the son's daily life.

But I don't know when it started, the son became more and more unhappy, and looked out the window every day in a daze.Sometimes he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and found that the son's bed was empty.

This situation didn't last long, and after the young master participated in a ceremony, he suddenly disappeared.Everyone in the yard was in a hurry, and everyone was looking for him.In the end it was Qiu Shi who brought him back, but the son had become cold.

Everyone was very sad, and we cried for a long time on the first day of junior high school.Qiushi put the young master in a strange box, the box was transparent, and soon the young master disappeared, leaving only a scent.

That Qiushi took the books that the young master taught him and some silver taels, looked at Chuyi with red eyes and said: "Take these with you, leave here today, and never come back. But there is one thing, you can You must firmly remember the last thing you did for your son."

On the first day of junior high school, I heard that I was doing things for the son, so I immediately became more energetic and listened carefully.

Qiu Shi said: "You must pass this matter down from generation to generation. I don't know which generation it will be passed on to, and whether there will be results, but you must pass it on. Even if it is the slimmest hope, we must not give up."

Chu nodded and listened more attentively.

Qiu Shi gave him a picture and a delicate box and said: "Find a person who was born in the year of Jiaxu [Year of the Dog] Yihai month Yimao Rimo. You will see this piece of jade on his birthday. See Open this box when this piece of jade is in your hands."
