ask incense

"What is the purpose of such a laborious arrangement?" Pei Ling asked straightforwardly.

Yue Hefeng shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know. I was not raised as a family member. I don't know many things. Besides, the people in our family who participated in that incident back then, my grandfather fell ill, my father When he passed away, no one said anything about what happened that year. It’s just that my grandfather fell ill and said before he passed away that it was a curse, the curse that the Southeast Asian man put on our family.”

It turned out that he didn't know the key to the matter.

Pei Ling asked him cautiously, "So because I worked for Qiu Feilin, you kept me because you wanted to know something about the past through me? But you should have seen it too. Not really at all. I can't be of much use to you."

Yue Hefeng turned his face to look at him, "Then why is Qiu Feilin looking for you like crazy?"

"That's his business." Pei Ling replied calmly, "At least with me, he and I have settled the matter."

Yue Hefeng sneered, "You can't just think so."

Pei Ling didn't want to talk to him about his relationship with Qiu Feilin anymore, so he asked him instead, "Are you afraid of that curse?"

Yue Hefeng's eyes darkened, "Do you believe in cursing?"

Pei Ling shook her head, "I don't believe it."

Yue Hefeng laughed, "I also asked Tang Lin if he believed it."

Tang Lin?Pei Ling thought, this is probably the successor of the Tang family.From this point of view, the Yue family and the Tang family are not like the Qiu family and the Yin family. These two families seem to be quite close.

"Then what did he say?"

He seemed to have thought of something funny, Yue Feng’s smile was a little different from usual, he usually smiled lightly, but this time he smiled naturally, “He actually asked me if I knew there was no Christmas in this world Old man."

Santa Claus?Pei Ling didn't understand what this had to do with Santa Claus, so it seemed that the Tang family was also acting strangely.

"He probably meant that since good things don't exist, there's no need to believe in bad things." Pei Ling expressed his own understanding.

This time, Yue Hefeng was probably relieved, he turned his head and still looked out of the window, "You can really talk. But take a look, which of our family is living a smooth life?"

This is true, the business of the Qiu family is gradually failing, Qiu Feilin has lost his father, the son of the Yin family who kept the door closed all day has died, and the whereabouts of the grandson are also unknown. As for the Yue family, the grandfather and father are gone, it seems that there is no uncle?Yue Hefeng didn't mention it, but according to Pei Ling's memory, Cao San said that Grandma Yue took her youngest son along for a ride. As for what happened to that uncle, is it really a mystery?There is also a Tang family, what happened to the Tang family, Pei Ling has no contact with it and doesn't know.

"So you still care about that curse?"

"It's not so much scruples and curses." Yue Hefeng looked deeply out of the window, "It's better to say that I'm looking for a key."

"Key?" Pei Ling felt that he was really tired talking to Yue Hefeng, why was he always talking in such a cloudy manner?

Dong dong dong

The door was knocked suddenly, and both of them were shocked. It seems that the knock on the door in the middle of the night last night gave them a little psychological shadow.

When both of them calmed down, Yue Hefeng got up slightly and asked, "Who? Shunzhou?"

Ah, speaking of it, Shunzhou has been following Yue Hefeng since he came here, and this is the first time he hasn't seen anyone for such a long time.It was so abnormal that Pei Ling couldn't help thinking, where did the Shunzhou people go?

"Master, I am Xiaoyan."

Hearing that it was Xiaoyan, Yue Hefeng sat back on the sofa. Seeing his subtle movements just now, Pei Ling wondered if he cared so much about Shunzhou?

"what's up?"

"I came here to ask, brother Pei...is Mr. Pei still with you? His brother..."

"Ah!" Pei Ling got up this time, but he was not as restrained as Yue Hefeng.

As I was talking, I didn't feel how fast time passed. Xiaoyan was here now, and it seemed that a long time had passed.Thinking of Sai Tianxian lying sickly on the bed, Pei Ling immediately became anxious again, "Master Yue, I came here to ask you to borrow incense. My younger brother..."

Yue Hefeng pointed to the antique shelf behind the desk, "You can do whatever you want."

Before Pei Ling went to the ancient shelf, there were quite a lot of strange things on it, all of which Pei Ling had never seen before. There were rag dolls made of unidentifiable materials, and there were also exquisite handicrafts. In addition, there are many incense.For a moment, Pei Ling didn't know which one to choose.But since he said whatever he wants, it doesn't matter which one he takes.

Xiaoyan was still waiting outside the door, Pei Ling couldn't care less about grabbing a box of incense sticks, and turned around to thank He Yue He Feng.Yue Hefeng is still lazily nestling on the sofa, looking out of the window with a gloomy expression, is the garden outside the window so beautiful?

"Master Yue, I took a box of incense sticks."

Yue Hefeng, who was sitting on the sofa, just waved his hand, motioning for him to take it away.

"Thank you very much." Pei Ling took the box of incense sticks and planned to leave, but before going out, she couldn't help but look back at Yue Hefeng who was sitting by the window, still looking out of the window in a daze.

"Brother Pei!"

As soon as Pei Ling went out, Xiaoyan grabbed her arm. Seeing that Xiaoyan was so nervous, he thought something happened to Sai Tianxian.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"

Xiaoyan shook her head, "No, I was worried. I went to the kitchen to get Jiang back. Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, I thought something happened."

"Oh, I chatted with your young master for a while. I'm sorry to make you worry."

Hearing that Pei Ling said it was all right, Xiaoyan was relieved, and found that she was still holding Pei Ling's arm. She blushed for a while and immediately withdrew her hand, but her movements were too fast and unnatural, and she looked like she was being burned. Yes, this action provoked Pei Ling to look down to see if there was something on his arm, if something was stuck on it, or if a bug jumped up, and the frightened little girl hurriedly stopped.

Seeing Xiaoyan's movements, Pei Ling hurriedly lowered her head to check her arms. She turned her back to Pei Ling, calling out for this idiot in her heart, and at the same time said something else to distract Pei Ling's attention.

"Let's go back quickly. Well, speaking of it, I thought it would be easy to go to the kitchen to get a piece of ginger. After all, Aunt Ma in the kitchen told me that she was from the same town as me this morning. After I went, I found out that Aunt Ma was not in the kitchen. I I remember she went back to the kitchen after chatting with me in the morning. Alas, I lost my tongue with other people in the kitchen for a long time."

Xiaoyan is used to complaining, Pei Ling is used to listening, but he deserted in the middle of listening, just when Xiaoyan turned to leave, he was about to follow, but when he turned around, he accidentally glanced at the opposite room. It was the room that was locked all the time.

The internal structure of this villa is different. There is nothing in the hall from the main entrance, only the spiral staircases on both sides are symmetrically distributed. Although it looks magnificent, it is also very empty. The symmetrical effect of the lobby on the first floor, the two rows of rooms on the second floor face each other, it seems quite suitable for monitoring each other.

So when Pei Ling came out of the Yue Hefeng room, he happened to see the opposite room, and then he remembered something. Looking back, he looked at the uniquely shaped doorknob on the door of the Yue Hefeng room. Isn't it the same as the one on the closed room opposite? Are the door handles the same?

Same, but not exactly the same.Anyway, Pei Ling, a big guy, thinks it's no different.

"Brother Pei?" Xiao Hong, who had walked for a while, turned around and saw Pei Ling still standing there, and called him back.

"Huh? Oh." Pei Ling came to her senses and followed Xiaohong. Guessing that Xiaohong's complaints should have been finished, she didn't forget to add, "Sorry, I'm really bothering you."

"It's nothing, it's not troublesome." Xiaoyan thinks that Pei Ling is easy to talk and patient. After staying in this house for so long, she finally has someone to complain about, but she doesn't just treat Pei Ling simply as a complainer. The subject, every time I finish talking about Pei Ling and then say such a polite word, I always feel so alienated.

"Brother Pei, I'm not telling you this to want you to be grateful to me or anything. I just want, just want, let's get closer. "

"Huh?" Pei Ling didn't understand. Speaking of him, he was in his twenties. Except for his mother, he had never had any contact with women seriously. Now he was focusing on Sai Tianxian, and he even touched Sai Tianxian. I don't know, he thinks Xiaoyan who is chattering is a bit cute, maybe because he is a "guest" in someone else's house, he still feels that there is such a layer between Xiaoyan and Xiaoyan, although he doesn't understand Sai Tianxian, but he thinks There is no such a polite compartment between Sai Tianxian and Sai Tianxian.

"Get closer?"

As soon as Xiaoyan heard Pei Ling repeating her words, her neck turned red all the way to the top of her head, and she was about to express her sincerity by accident, and then immediately covered it up, "Yes, yes, I'm babbling, and I treated you like a brother, but you're too polite When you say this, it feels like you intend to distance yourself from me, and that’s what I mean.”

"oh, I see."

Because Xiaoyan blushed and had nowhere to go, she just kept her head buried in the front, so Pei Ling naturally couldn't see her blushing in embarrassment, so she just nodded along with her, thinking about her words thoughtfully.

Hearing Pei Ling's tone, it seemed that she really didn't care. Xiaoyan was a little discouraged, her face was no longer red, her head was no longer hidden, and her steps slowed down. Seeing that she was almost at the door of Sai Tianxian's room, Xiaoyan Yan suddenly saw Aunt Ma passing by.

"Huh?" She made a strange sound and stamped her feet, which caught Pei Ling who was following her off guard.Being bumped forward by a solid chest, it wasn't because she didn't stand still, but because Xiaoyan's heart swayed, and her body swayed too. Fortunately, Pei Ling reacted quickly and stopped her in time to ask, "What are you doing?" Are you okay?"

Xiaoyan, who was still discouraged just now, suddenly became enraged because of Pei Ling's protection, "I'm fine."

Because she was afraid that the happy expression on her face would be too obvious, Xiaoyan began to find words to cover up again, "I saw Aunt Ma just now, and wondered why she is here." Pointing, "Aunt Ma doesn't usually stamp her feet on the first floor, she's either in the kitchen or in the old lady's room on the second floor."

Xiaoyan used this trick to cover up her feelings when she had nothing to say, so it was useful for people like Pei Ling. Pei Ling really didn't care about Xiaoyan's expression, and looked up in the direction Xiaoyan was pointing at, but that Aunt Ma didn't look at it. Yes, but I saw Shunzhou.

What is he doing here?

"Xiaoyan, please go back first." Pei Ling stuffed a box of incense sticks in his hand to Xiaoyan, "Help me take care of my cousin first." After speaking, Pei Ling walked away, he wanted to follow up and have a look .He raised his feet and walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, as if he remembered something, turned back to Xiaoyan and said, "This is not to be polite to you, but because I really believe in you, so I am bothering you."

"Yeah!" Xiao Yankuang nodded and smiled in response. Seeing Pei Ling leave quickly, she shrugged and turned around excitedly, "It's my job."

When Pei Ling was about to reach the corner of the corridor, he heard arguing. He stopped and leaned against the wall to listen carefully.

"No, it must be him last night, he must be back."

This paranoid voice is Shun Chau.Pei Ling, who was hiding and listening to the corner, was a little ashamed. It seemed that Sai Tianxian really got into a big trouble.

"Shunzhou, wake up! How could it be him?!"

Presumably this sharp female voice is that Aunt Ma.

"Even if he really came back, why hang around on the first floor? His room is on the second floor!"

"Because I live on the first floor, he wants to see me, it must be because of this, it must be because of this!"

God?Is this the serious and rigid Shun Chau?Are you talking so crazy?Because Shunzhou's speech at the moment was too different from his usual image, Pei Ling wanted to lean over and take a look to make sure that it was Shunzhou who spoke.

Pei Ling leaned over, but what she saw was Shunzhou squatting on the ground covering his face, and said in a trembling voice, "Please, make me feel that he came back because of me, and that I am the most important one in his heart. "

"Shunzhou, this is not the problem now!"

Pei Ling's gaze moved up, from Shunzhou to Aunt Ma. He remembered that this was the woman who was cleaning up the debris in the old lady's room. He was standing outside the door at that time, and she happened to turn her back to him and didn't look at it. It's clear, but now Pei Ling can see it clearly. She looks older than the old lady, with deep eye lines and retracted upper lip, which looks a bit mean.

Pei Ling watched the aunt Ma help Shunzhou up, "What happened last night must be the fault of the second young master! Didn't he torture the old lady and you like this all the time? I beg you to find a way, don't Let the second young master do these tricks again, the old lady can't afford it!"

Second young master?Pei Ling thought, who are you talking about?Since when did this family have two young masters?

Shun Zhou shook his head, "It's not him, Yue Hefeng was in the room last night, and he wasn't responsible for the knock on the door on the first floor."

The shocked expression on Aunt Ma's face was a bit nice.Pei Ling, who was standing against the wall at the corner, was also shocked?

Yue Hefeng is actually the second young master of this family?Then, what about the young master?It seems that it has never been mentioned in this family.

On the way back to the room, Pei Ling was still preoccupied with the fact that she accidentally learned about it.When he passed the glass window in the corridor, he paused, remembering Shunzhou's expression when he lied that Sai Tianxian was his brother at the dinner table, so it was because of this.

Pei Ling turned around with a sigh. He wanted to stand by the window for a while and blow away his messy thoughts.However, when he was standing in front of the window, I couldn't help but remind me of Yue Hefeng's back when he was sitting by the window. He was always looking out the window. What was he looking at?

Pei Ling stretched his neck to look out the window, but from this angle, he could only see the neatly trimmed shrubs in the front garden and the backs of several large plaster statues in the fountain.

"Brother Pei?" Xiaoyan opened the door and poked her head out, beckoning to Pei Ling who was standing by the window, "Come back quickly, we can start."

"Well, here we come." Pei Ling took one last look out the window, and then trotted back to the room.
