Chapter 140 What should I do with Butler Wang!

Ji Huaiyu, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at him in surprise after hearing this.

Ji Huaiyu asked: "Your birthday present, do you want this?"

Jian Yue nodded.

Ji Huaiyu said: "Why are you curious about this?"

In fact, when he asked Butler Wang what gift he wanted, he also wanted to give him an assurance. It was obvious that Ji Huaisheng, that disappointing boy, had gone out and been restless again.

This will continue.

When others see this, they will naturally look down on Jian Yue.

He celebrated Jian Yue's birthday and gave him gifts, so that other people would know how much he valued Jian Yue. Naturally, no one would look down on Jian Yue anymore, and at least they would think twice before doing anything.

even.

Ji Huaiyu did not give Jian Yue a gift directly, but asked him what he wanted. He gave Jian Yue the opportunity to choose, but he never expected that Jian Yue... would want this!

Just thinking about it.

Then I heard Jian Yue say: "Because I'm curious, Master, you are so outstanding, if you want to get married and start a family, you should have done it a long time ago, why haven't you done it yet?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "This is not a secret, you can change it."

Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll keep this opportunity and use it when I think of it?"

I didn't expect that I would be able to use it in the future.

Jian Yue thought that with Ji Huaiyu's personality, he would not refuse. He was not the kind of person who would haggle over trivial matters.

However.

Jian Yue heard Ji Huaiyu say, "Okay, tell me as soon as you think of it."

"Why?" Jian Yue asked, "Master, are you anxious?"

Ji Huaiyu glanced at him, his eyes dark and deep, and said, "Your birthday wish must be fulfilled as soon as possible. If you delay, it won't work."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the young master's promise is there, it will definitely work."

Ji Huaiyu saw his eyes full of trust, sparkling as if there were stars in them. After looking at him for a long time, he would feel that those eyes were full of him.

"I didn't get married for any special reason," Ji Huaiyu said, "it's just because I wasn't the right match."

Jian Yue was a little surprised. He said, "How can they not be a good match?"

If Xiaoyu is not a good match, then who else is? It can't be the director, it must be Xiaoyun and the others, right?

Ji Huaiyu had no intention of arguing. He sat at the table, his tall figure giving people a strong sense of oppression. He said, "I guess you must have noticed something on the cruise ship. Although the crew is here to film and record, there are many people who are interested in the secrets of the puppet clan."

Jian Yue was shocked!

Depend on!

So you knew it!!

Ji Huaiyu glanced at him and said, "Why, didn't you notice?"

Jian Yue choked up and quickly said honestly: "I noticed it, but... since you knew about it, why are you willing to let them come?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "Some things cannot be hidden. Instead of letting people do things secretly, it is better to put them out in the open so that they can be more easily controlled."

That's true.

The more Jian Yue thought, given how greedy the director and his men were, what could they do even if they were to prevent it?

"What's more, when Master and his wife were alive, their greatest wish was to pass down their puppetry skills to future generations so that everyone could see the exquisiteness of puppetry." Ji Huaiyu said, "Since this is their last wish, there is no need for me to stop it."

Jian Yue thought about it, and he could really feel that the puppet control clan was very important to Ji Huaiyu.

This town, and a peaceful town at that, should not be disturbed by those evil plans and conspiracies.

Jian Yue said, "In fact, during this period of time, when I was in the crew, I also heard and saw some things. I found that there were actually some people on the ship who wanted to make puppets. After all, the remaining pages of your book were lost, and those remaining pages were stolen by some people in the crew."

Jian Yue was a little nervous when he said this.

But when he looked at Ji Huaiyu, he found that Ji Huaiyu was very calm. Ji Huaiyu said, "Well, you don't have to worry about these."

How could Jian Yue not be worried? He was just about to speak.

Ji Huaiyu said: "Because the book is fake, it doesn't matter if it is stolen."

Jian Yue: “…”

no?

The audience in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded:

"Depend on?!"

“Fake, fake!”

“I know this for the first time!”

"Everyone thought the previous vice was real."

"No wonder the puppet man's copy completion rate has been stuck at around 90%."

"Many of them thought that this was a rookie's recipe and that the rookie was incapable of completing it. Who knew that the secret recipe was actually fake?"

Jian Yue was also a little surprised, but he quickly asked: "Master, did you know that someone would steal it?"

Ji Huaiyu said: "The secret method of the puppet control clan is not passed on. Those materials and books are also recorded by the outside world based on speculation. In fact, there is no need to falsify them at all, because what they record is not true in the first place."

Jian Yue: “…”

That makes sense.

What are the directors and their colleagues busying themselves with? Isn't this all in vain? !

Ji Huaiyu asked, "Are you interested in puppets?"

Jian Yue came back to his senses and said, "Because your Ji family is a family that controls idols. Since I am a member of the Ji family, of course I will be interested in family affairs."

He said it so naturally.

Ji Huaiyu's hands on the table curled up unconsciously.

He looked at Jian Yue, his thoughts drifting a little. He had mentioned before that his nephew was not a good match. Since Jian Yue and his nephew were just substitute partners, it would be better for them to part ways amicably sooner rather than later. As for what happened next, he would arrange it for him.

But Jian Yue refused.

Not only that, he has already consciously become a part of the Ji family.

Could it be that...

Does he really like his disappointing nephew?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jian Yue say: "Of course the most important thing is, Master, you are not the last generation of the puppet-controlling family. The more I know about you, the better it will be for me to have more common language with you!"

Ji Huaiyu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jian Yue, with a hint of shock in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.

Is it because of him?

Jian Yue ate the cake in his mouth with a fork, and said: "After all, I am your housekeeper. I definitely can't help with the company's affairs. If I know more about the things here, I can help you share your worries. Even if I can't, at least I can chat with you and relieve your boredom!"

A qualified housekeeper must have the professional code to help his master solve problems.

Ji Huaiyu asked: "Is it for me?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment. He really didn’t expect that Butler Wang did this for him!

But it was impossible between them.

Ji Huaiyu thought that he should feel unhappy about this, but he didn't. He couldn't even control the joy that emerged from the bottom of his heart when he learned the truth.

But it was impossible for him and Butler Wang to be together, as the burden he carried was too heavy. Although his nephew was a bit of a jerk now, he might be better to Jian Yue over time.

I shouldn't get involved in the affairs of the younger generation!

Just thinking about it.

Then Jian Yue said, "By the way, Master, I don't have any scenes in the next few days. Can I move freely in this house? This is an old site. There should be a lot of books about puppetry. Can I take a look?"

Ji Huaiyu originally wanted to refuse, after all, reading those things would not do him any good.

But when I looked up.

Looking into Jian Yue's eyes, I remembered what he said, that he wanted to learn about puppetry because of me, and he wanted to have more topics to talk about with me...

Ji Huaiyu couldn't say no, he whispered: "If you like it, go and see it."

Jian Yue instantly showed a delighted expression, and he said excitedly: "Really? That's great, I love you so much, Master!"

Ji Huaiyu's large hands on his sides instantly curled up. For a man of this age, this sentence was a bit too lethal, but his self-control over the years was not in vain. The man still glanced at Jian Yue and said, "Pay attention to your manners and don't talk nonsense."

If you ignore his already red ears, it really seems like an elder is scolding a younger one.

Jian Yue smiled and bit the cake while eating it seriously, saying in a low voice: "I know, I know."

He will dare to do it again next time!

Ji Huaiyu glanced at him and knew that he didn't take her words to heart at all. It was strange that many people were afraid of him, and many people even thought he was a monster. Even his nephew was afraid of him, but Jian Yue was not afraid of him.

If he was a deep and heavy shadow, then Jian Yue was like a warm and blazing light that poured in, warming and illuminating him. By the time he realized it, the light had already penetrated deep into his heart.

Damn it!

Ji Huaiyu pursed his thin lips, as if he was clearly watching the self-control that he had always been proud of gradually disappear. What should he do with Butler Wang!

evening.

Jian Yue returned to his lounge.

The whole house is very lively during the day, but becomes very quiet at night. Lanterns are hung outside the house, shining brightly, but in such a quiet night, it always gives people a sense of solemnity and depression.

When the wind blows, the lanterns begin to sway.

The audience in the live broadcast room followed Jian Yue's gaze and felt a little scared. Just when they were feeling scared, they saw Jian Yue touching his chin and said, "Is it more economical to use lanterns or electric lights? I have to find the old housekeeper to calculate it tomorrow and save some money for Xiaoyu."

Audience: “…”

I know you are not in good shape, but sometimes you are too out of shape!

Jian Yue withdrew his gaze from the lantern and started to make his bed. Many rooms in this town were still well maintained, just like his own bed which was very clean. However, it was not long after 1985, so most of the beds were simple wooden beds like this.

He tossed and turned all day and soon fell asleep.

In sleep.

Jian Yue felt a voice in his ear.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Such sounds are very obvious when heard in the cabin, but they are even more amplified in the quiet courtyard.

Jian Yue opened his eyes and sat up. The puppets in the cabin would basically come to open the door and attack people, so he had to be prepared in advance.

However, when he sat up and looked outside.

But all I saw was the tall, slender and stiff figure of the puppet looming outside in the shadow of the lantern.

And their destination is not their own room.

The puppets seemed to be walking towards a certain place with a purpose. Jian Yue thought for a moment and finally opened a small gap in the window outside.

Once the gap opens, you can see very closely.

The puppets crawling on the ground and the puppets walking on the road, their postures are a little twisted and a little stiff, but they all have one goal, which is to crawl towards where the actors in the crew live.

Jian Yue seemed to be thinking about something.

You know, when they were on the boat, these puppets attacked people indiscriminately, but when they arrived in the small town, they seemed to have their own targets.

Such changes are not necessarily a good thing.

Jian Yue said: "I don't know how the director and the others are doing..."

The audience in the live broadcast room were very nervous when they saw that he was frowning, thinking that Jian Yue was going to catch up to him to find out what was going on.

But after seeing Jian Yue yawn, he returned to the bed and lifted the quilt: "Forget it, it's none of my business, go to sleep first!"

The audience in the live broadcast room: …

Dude, what on earth made your heart so big!!!

The key point is that there are puppets crawling outside, you can just use it as a lullaby to sleep!!

Jian Yue's sleep was actually not very restful.

The main reason was that there was a thudding sound outside from time to time. He fell into a light sleep again. He rubbed his neck with a sigh and felt that it was better to sleep at Xiaoyu's place. It was quiet and comfortable.

I don’t know when I can sleep with Xiaoyu?

Jian Yue sat on the bed and sighed.

The audience in the live broadcast room finally waited until he got up, and after seeing him sigh, they said:

"It seems that the anchor is still somewhat ambitious."

"This sigh must be due to thinking about the difficulty of the dungeon in the future!"

"I would say he would still be worried."

Jian Yue and the audience in the live broadcast room had completely different ideas, but they managed to achieve a level of harmony.

I got up early in the morning and the weather outside was nice.

As soon as he went out, he met the assistant not far away. The assistant said that Ji Huaiyu went to the ancestral hall in the morning. According to the rules, the disciples had to go to the ancestral hall to pay their respects in the morning after returning, and they did not eat breakfast, so Jian Yue did not need to wait.

Jian Yue didn't go there.

He planned to complete the main task today, check the situation of the puppet-controlling clan in the past, and then meet the miracle doctor.

Haven’t been there yet.

He ran into the anxious person head-on, and Jian Yue took a closer look: "Wang Wenwen?"

Wang Wenwen came to find Jian Yue. The poor child's face was pale. When he saw Jian Yue, he danced with joy and seemed to be unable to speak.

Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then took out his cell phone from his pocket: "If you can't speak, just type."

As a result, Wang Wenwen was also shaking while holding the phone.

After watching for a while, Jian Yue said slowly: "Did someone die?"

Wang Wenwen froze for a moment, then quickly nodded.

Jian Yue said: "Let me guess, they are from the crew, but not the ones who have already arrived in the town. They are the ones on the ship, right?"

Wang Wenwen finally recovered some strength and means. He trembled and said, "Yes, Butler Wang, how did you know?"

Jian Yue said: "I saw a puppet going over there last night, so I guessed it."

Wang Wenwen gestured with her hands and feet and said, "He, he died in the house, and the production team said he fell when he got up at night! But I don't think so. I wanted to take a look secretly, but they covered it with a cloth and wouldn't let us see it. But I saw that the shape didn't look complete. Who could fall like that?!"

Jian Yue knew that this incident was probably too much of a shock to the child, so he asked, "Where's Nangong Xi?"

Wang Wenwen said: "She vomited and fainted on the spot. She hasn't woken up yet."

When they were on Hope Island, even though it was an extremely difficult dungeon, not that many people died on Hope Island. Even if there were, they both rarely saw them.

This was the second copy for a newbie, and the difficulty suddenly increased, so naturally he couldn't handle it.

Jian Yue said, "Go and take care of her. Remember not to eat the crew's food. You two can go find Aya. She is a merchant on the ship and does not live in the house. The food she eats must be safe. I have saved her people before, and she will help you."

Wang Wenwen agreed quickly. His face turned terribly pale. In fact, he was also terrified. To be honest, if he hadn't remembered that Butler Wang was also in this copy, he would have regained some of his sanity. To be honest, if he hadn't been holding on to this anger to tell Jian Yue, he would have been scared crazy like Nangong Xi.

"Wang... Butler Wang." His voice was still a little trembling: "You, you are not afraid..."

Jian Yue said directly: "What's the use of being afraid? If kneeling down and begging for mercy would be useful, I'll go kowtow to those puppets now. Stop thinking about those useless things. Most of the puppets used to chop people in their dreams, but now they have started killing people. The restrictions on their killing are getting looser. If we keep waiting, sooner or later they will find us."

After the words fell.

Wang Wenwen's face was completely pale.

Jian Yue comforted him: "But you don't have to worry."

Wang Wenwen's eyes were filled with hope: "Really?"

"Yeah." Jian Yue said, "After all, considering how desperate you are, they might kill you last."

Wang Wenwen: “…”

You can't be assured of this, okay? !

As he got excited, his fear seemed to fade a little.

Jian Yue glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, I have something to do at noon. You go back and take care of Nangong Xi. Get ready after taking a rest in the afternoon. Use your card to take me to the place where the accident happened later."

Wang Wenwen was terrified when she heard that she had to go and take a look.

Jian Yue ignored him and walked away.

He knew that this was really too cruel for the newcomers, but in the nightmare copy, the flowers kept in the greenhouse could not survive for long. He could come in and save them in this copy because they were targeted by the extinct monster because of him, and this was the debt of favor he had to repay.

But saving them once doesn't mean he can save them forever, and he won't take care of them forever.

If he wants to survive, he has to be strong. He understands this truth, and he believes that Wang Wenwen will also understand it in time.

The main house's academy

It took Jian Yue a lot of effort to find this place. There were very few people in the main house. On the way, he finally met someone and asked for directions.

"Hello." Jian Yue called out to the person and said, "Can I ask for directions?"

These are two girls. They are both wearing black robes and trousers, and have pigtails, which is the custom of the Ji family's ancestral home.

The team that served the food and cooked yesterday were all dressed like this.

The two girls seemed to be deaf to his words. Jian Yue really didn't want to continue wandering around. This place was too big and he didn't know how long he would have to walk. So he simply walked to the front, grabbed a girl's arm and said, "Sorry to bother you..."

The girls paused and turned to look at him, his dark eyes looking dark in the sunlight, impossible to see through at a glance.

Jian Yue was inexplicably nervous, but he let go of her hand and said politely, "Excuse me, where is the academy and how do I get there?"

The girls seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think for a long time before slowly raising their hands and pointing to the distance, their voices inexplicably stiff: "In front, turn left and then right."

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

He remembered this and waited for the two girls to leave first.

But the strange thing was that when he looked up, the two maids were still staring at him, and their dark gazes made people feel creepy.

Jian Yue forced a smile and said, "Any questions?"

The maids then slowly shook their heads, turned around and left.

Jian Yue watched them leave with a smile on his face. The smile slowly disappeared when they walked away. He glanced at his hand, which was the hand he had just held to ask for directions. The shirt he wore in summer was very thin, and just now, when he held the person's arm, he could clearly feel that their arms had no warmth at all.

As a forensic scientist, he is most familiar with the distribution of human bones.

But the moment I touched it, I felt something was wrong. The temperature and the touch of the joints were all wrong.

It's hot weather, but it makes people feel cold on the back.

Jian Yue regained his composure and turned to walk towards the academy. The academy here should have a very long history, and no one had been here for a long time.

When you walk in.

The door of the academy was closed, and it was closed from the inside.

You can't get in here!

If there was a lock, he could still think of a way, but this one was locked from the inside!

Jian Yue was a little troubled, but then he thought, what was he afraid of? Xiaoyu had promised that he could go in and take a look!

Think about it.

The ceremony at the ancestral hall should be over at this point.

Jian Yue took out his phone and sent a message to Ji Huaiyu. He typed: "Master, what should I do if I can't get into the academy?"

After a while.

New message came.

Ji Huaiyu: "Knock on the door. There is someone guarding the academy inside. Just ask him to let you in."

Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Is it that simple? Do you need a token or a passcode or something? I'm afraid people won't believe me if I just say it!"

After a while.

Ji Huaiyu sent a message: "No, he will let you in as soon as he sees you."

Jian Yue was puzzled. Is it really so magical? But despite his thoughts, he still knocked on the door. The yard was so shabby that it didn't look like a place where people could live. But after a while, an old man in a black robe really walked slowly from the yard to the door step by step.

"Squeak"

The door opened.

The old man looked up, and Jian Yue felt something was wrong when he met his eyes. These were not the eyes that an old man should have. They were too dark, without any trace of time.

Jian Yue still said: "I came here to read a book. The young master asked me to come."

The old man remained indifferent to this statement and continued to block the door.

Just when Jian Yue was thinking that Xiaoyu, what you said is not right and he won't let you in, the old man took a few steps forward, got very close, and then sniffed Jian Yue's body.

then.

She stared at Jian Yue for a while with the same eyes as the two girls, as if she was looking at some miraculous flowing landscape, then she slowly turned sideways and said, "Come in."

Jian Yue: “…”

No! How do you identify people?
