74 Chapter 74

◎Xiu Wen’s children are my children◎

The first day of the live broadcast of "Entering Metaphysics" has ended.

After Yang Mao finished his work, he picked them up and also picked up Yang Wei along the way.

"Sister, do you want to go to Shuilian Village in person?" Yang Wei asked.

“There are some things I can only confirm when I get there.”

"Oh, it's quite sad." Yang Wei sighed.

At this moment, Sang Chen suddenly asked, "Master, where is Aunt Liang? What should we do with her?"

"She has spent years guarding her husband's grave, living with the deceased's spirit day and night. Adding to her many illnesses, she won't live many more years."

Sang Chen pursed his lips and said, "So..."

"Don't disturb her for now. When she dies, her husband's spirit will leave with her."

Aunt Liang has lived a very painful half of her life. Instead of letting her die alone and depressed, it is better to keep some thoughts in her mind. Maybe she can live a few more days.

What's more, she won't bother others if she lives in the mountains.

After Qianyang decided to go to Shuilian Village in person, the program crew immediately made preparations to go together and bought plane tickets for the next morning.

Most of the public opinion fermenting on the Internet focused on Han Zhi, and the matter of He Xiuwen's ghost did not cause much stir. After all, the haunting of Shuilian Village was very well-known, and everyone felt that it was not new.

In the evening, Qianyang packed some things. Since the journey was long and they had to take a plane, he didn't plan to take Shunyi with him.

This guy didn't realize this, and ran to Qianyang's luggage with his favorite food bowl in his mouth, indicating that he should take his food bowl with him as well.

"You're not going." Qianyang said without raising his head.

Shunyi was stunned for a moment, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and his iron rice bowl fell to the ground with a clang.

During this period of time, Qianyang took it with him wherever he went, and he looked so majestic in front of other people.

"Awoo..." Shunyi drooped his ears and looked dejected. He silently picked up his food bowl and lay at the door, looking at her eagerly.

Qianyang looked up at it with an expression of heartbreak and aggrievedness.

Qianyang: “…”

"Want to go?"

Shunyi put down the food bowl, slowly stood up and walked to Qianyang, rubbed his head against her arm, and whimpered twice.

Qian Yang sighed helplessly, "I'll ask the director if we can bring pets on the plane."

"Woof!" Shunyi immediately became excited and jumped twice on the spot, as if urging her to go on.

Qianyang called the director and asked them to buy a pet cabin specifically for Shunyi when they brought Shunyi over.

After asking the director, they immediately said there was no problem.

"Okay." Qianyang thanked him and put down his phone. "Don't bring the rice bowl. Just eat whatever you want when the time comes."

"Woof woof!" Shunyi barked happily twice.

The next morning, Yang Mao drove the two people and the dog to the airport. After meeting up with the program crew, he went back.

"Master Qianyang!"

"Master Qianyang."

Xiaoshui and Liu Yi came forward and greeted them.

As a guest of the show, Xiaoshui will act with Qianyang until the end of this episode.

As for Liu Yi, the souls of He Xiumen and her son followed him, so naturally they had to go together.

"There's still an hour before boarding, and the show won't start until we arrive at Shuilian Village. Can I do a live broadcast for a while?" Xiaoshui asked.

Qian Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Master Qianyang!"

Xiaoshui opened the Little Moon Platform, and Qianyang took a look at the software icon. No wonder the audience always said that the icon of the Green Lemon Platform looked like a pirated APP.

"Hi! I'm here. I still have a while before I can board the plane. I'm so bored, so I need to kill some time."

【Wow! Looking forward to it.】

[Xiaoshui, you're awesome! You gained a lot of followers yesterday.]

[I'm dying of laughter. Han Zhi's scandal has made Xiao Shui famous. Several of your speechless expressions and curse words have been exposed.]

【This generation of netizens can read lips.】

【"Stupid" Hahaha. 】

Xiao Shuidao: "How can it be so exaggerated? I am only relying on Master Qianyang's help."

Xiao Shui said happily: "I finally experienced the feeling of being carried away by thighs."

【Who says it isn’t? 】

All the streamers who joined the Global Alliance have gone international, and they are doing quite well.

Who wouldn't say after reading this that if one person succeeds, the whole family will ascend to heaven?

[Han Zhi is just a fool. The drama "Young Marquis" has been removed from all online channels.]

I heard that the daughter of the investor who was bullied by Han Zhi registered a social media account and liked and forwarded hundreds of Qianyang's video clips. She must have felt very wronged the past few days.

[That's not the case. Not only was I bullied, but I was also cyberbullied by his fans.]

【Master Qianyang's Merit +10086.】

Xiao Shui tilted the screen to the side and asked in a low voice, "Master Qianyang, could you please say hello?"

Ever since Qianyang became famous, she often encounters unfamiliar anchors who interact with her. In essence, there is only one purpose: Qianyang's live broadcast room is very popular, and as long as she shows her face, she will have the chance to be seen by others.

After all, now as long as it is related to Qianyang, the popularity will remain high.

Qianyang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As long as it was harmless, using her fame to increase her own popularity couldn't be considered a bad thing. Normally, she was willing to cooperate with them.

As for whether some people can catch the traffic or be swept away by the traffic like Han Zhi, that is their own business.

"Okay." Qianyang nodded.

Xiaoshui breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some attention.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qianyang."

Oh no!

【Thousand Suns, Thousand Suns, Thousand Suns! 】

【Hahahaha, I knew I'd find you here! 】

[I don’t even open my own live broadcast room, hum.]

【Ahhh, beautiful women in the same frame! 】

[Two great faces appeared on the same screen. I couldn't stand it (wiping nosebleed).]

With Qianyang's appearance, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared visibly.

[Damn it, I'm still squatting in Qingning.]

I'm quite clever. I came here as soon as I saw the news that Xiaoshui was starting her show. They went to Shuilian Village with the production crew today, so they must be together right now.

Administrator: [Master Qianyang!!! (starry eyes)]

Administrator: [Master Qianyang, are you interested in developing on our platform? ! ! !]

Qianyang pondered for a few seconds and said, "To be honest, the Little Moon Platform's APP icon is indeed much better looking than Green Lemon."

Administrator: [Come on, come on!]

Administrator: [We welcome you to our Little Moon platform! ]

Administrator 9958: [What kind of icon do you like? We can modify it according to your preferences! ]

Administrator 9958: [We will revise it. We will work overtime tonight to revise it!]

【Hahahaha, the Little Moon platform administrator is so nice.】

【This is a real money tree! 】

[That lousy lemon icon really looks like a pirated product without any license, and it hasn't been changed in so long.]

【Come to Little Moon! Come to Little Moon! 】

[Wait, why does something look a little strange to me? ]

【Me too……】

【???】

Administrator: [???]

Administrator: [@Admin9958 who the hell are you? ]

[Someone come! Catch the assassin!]

[Where are the imperial guards? How did the enemy's spies get in?]

[Hahahaha! I'm saying this doesn't seem right. 9958, how can you enforce the law across platforms?]

Help! I was slacking off at a meeting and watching a live stream, and I burst out laughing. My boss asked me to tell him what was so funny, and I did, and he burst out laughing too.

Administrator 9958: [(staring) If I hadn't followed my parents, I wouldn't have known she was kidnapped.]

Administrator 9958: [Sir, the app icon has been redesigned by a designer. Please don't listen to the slander!]

[Administrator 9958 has been kicked out of the live broadcast room by the administrator]

【Hahahaha! 】

【Fun, fun! 】

"I can't go to your house." Qianyang said lightly.

Xiaoshui then explained, "Yes, Master Qianyang signed a contract, and breaking it will cost him a lot of money!"

"Losing money is a small matter." What Qianyang lacks the least now is money, so she can't spend it all even if she plays around every day.

"The main thing is," Qianyang paused, "I hardly ever dream."

Xiaoshui was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

The production crew following them laughed out loud.

administrator:【……】

【Um? ? 】

【What's the meaning? 】

What does this have to do with dreaming?

【Hahaha! ! ! 】

[It’s over. I can’t laugh anymore.]

[For those who don't know the inside story, let me explain: when Qian Yang first started livestreaming, the Qing Ning platform offered a 500,000 yuan signing fee. Then, other platforms, including Xiao Yueliang, were trying to attract her. She sent the Qing Ning signing terms to the agents at those other platforms, and they all responded: "Are you dreaming?"]

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 】

【Little Moon: Suffocating, how could she still remember it.】

[(Whispering) She doesn't admit it, but she holds a grudge.]

…

The live broadcast was noisy and lasted for more than half an hour, and Xiaoshui turned off the live broadcast before boarding the plane.

After a two-hour flight, the group arrived in the city where Shuilian Village was located.

They drove all the way from the city to the county, and then from the county to the town. From the town to the road near Shuilian Village, they walked for ten minutes before arriving at Shuilian Village.

The time was exactly around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The photographer looked at the camera following Qianyang and made an OK gesture to the director.

"Master Qianyang, the show can begin."

Qianyang withdrew his gaze from the dilapidated house not far away and nodded.

"Three, two, one!!"

The second show of the first episode of "Entering Metaphysics" officially begins.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qianyang, and this is 'Into Metaphysics'."

In order to observe the audience's reaction in real time, the director turned on his mobile phone and played the live footage.

【Here it comes! 】

【OMG, I’ve finally been waiting for this! 】

[Ms. Qianyang, come on! Find the truth and let He Xiuwen and her son be reincarnated!]

"We have arrived at Shuilian Village. Let's go to the village to find out the situation."

Shunyi led the way in front, running a long way with great effort.

The former site of Shuilian Village was even more desolate than it looked in the video, with weeds growing all over the ground. With Shunyi leading the way, everyone felt more at ease.

Shunyi ran up the slope and saw a dilapidated yard next to it. The place was not small and the house was well-maintained. There were faded words on the wall that could not be seen clearly. It seemed to be an office.

Liu Yi said: "This should be the home of the village chief of Shuilian Village."

Qianyang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Qian Yang has the final say on everything in this show, and no one else has any opinions.

Qianyang was the first to step into the yard. Unlike other places in the village, there was no weeds in the yard except some moss.

The ground is paved with dozens of bluestone slabs. There are gaps between each bluestone slab, which are filled with soil. Weeds can grow almost anywhere, but there are none in this yard, which is very unusual.

Qianyang walked up the steps and looked into the nearest house.

The furniture and furnishings in the house showed almost no signs of disorder, and apart from signs of natural damage and decay, they were surprisingly tidy.

Qianyang pushed open the broken window and found that it was just a room used as an office.

She dusted off her hands and continued walking forward. The other rooms were the same, with the furnishings arranged neatly. It seemed as if they had not taken anything with them when they moved away. There was even a TV in one of the rooms.

This family is quite well off, and they were reluctant to move much of their furniture.

[Oh my god! What kind of conditions are there? You won’t even move the TV?]

[He was probably frightened by He Xiuwen's ghost and left in a hurry without having time to move.]

[There are still a lot of kitchen utensils in that cabinet! ]

[It's not that we didn't have time. All the other houses in the village were almost vacated.]

Qianyang came to the outside of a main room. The door was open, but the room was empty. Only a plaque was left against the wall opposite.

Shunyi rushed in at a speed of lightning and kicked the plaque hard with his legs. With a "bang", the plaque covered with thick dust fell to the ground, and dust suddenly flew everywhere.

Fortunately, everyone was far away and was not affected. Shunyi jumped out covered in dust and shook his body to shake it off.

"Master Qianyang, this is..." Xiaoshui looked at the wall behind the plaque in surprise. There was a strange pattern painted with red paint.

Qian Yang said: "House-guarding talisman."

"House-protecting talisman?"

"As the name suggests, it is something that suppresses evil spirits." Qianyang explained.

"It seems that the fight was quite fierce back then!" Liu Yi sighed.

Qianyang turned around, looked at the courtyard where not even a weed grew, and said, "The noise here is particularly fierce."

Xiao Shui asked, "Master Qianyang, why do you say that?"

Qian Yang said, "There's not a single blade of grass growing in this yard. The doors, windows, and furniture are all damaged by natural causes. There aren't any traces of small animals on the ground, which is enough to prove that no living creature has set foot in this place for over a decade."

"What does this... mean?"

"Small animals are naturally sensitive to danger, so naturally they think this is a very dangerous place."

Qian Yang looked at the neatly arranged furniture in the house again, and his voice deepened. "Ghosts lose all their memories after death. The ghosts of He Xiuwen and her child probably come here often. The family is worried that they will follow after they move out, so they drew a talisman to keep the house as it is, creating the illusion that they are still living here."

"It's just that time has passed, and He Xiuwen discovered that they had left, so she left with the outsiders."

"So, she wants to find this family?" Liu Yi asked.

"Yeah." Qianyang nodded.

[Why does she want to find the village chief's family? ]

[Is her death related to the village chief? ]

[There is indeed a hidden story here! ]

[However, they have moved away for so long that it is impossible to find them in a short time.]

[Speaking of which, this place is indeed a bit strange. Everywhere else is overgrown with weeds, except the village chief's house.]

【Perhaps we could ask Aunt Liang?】

Since Aunt Liang didn't mention it, it means she didn't know what her relationship with the village chief was.

[Until the truth comes out, please don't bother Aunt Liang.]

After leaving the village chief's house, the group went to the homes of He Xiuwen and Liang Jun.

After arriving at the place, Qianyang looked it over inside and out.

Compared to the village chief's house, this place even feels more comfortable.

Is He Xiuwen’s obsession related to the village chief’s family?

After reaching this conclusion, everyone left Shuilian Village and went to the county public security bureau to learn about the details of what happened in the village that year.

Soon, they arrived at the County Public Security Bureau, and Chen Xun was already prepared to welcome them.

"Hello, Master Qianyang, I am Chen Xun."

Qian Yanghui shook his hand and said, "Hello, I would like to know the specific situation of Shuilian Village."

"Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Chen Xun brought them to a conference room, motioned for everyone to take a seat, and placed a document in front of Qian Yang.

Chen Xun said, "Shuilian Village isn't very large, with just over ninety households. The village chief's surname was Ji, and he was over fifty years old. He passed away nine years ago."

Chen Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "Back then, there were rumors that He Xiuwen's adulterer was his son, Ji Tiancai."

[Off topic, genius, adding wealth, what a good name.]

[Ah... He Xiuwen doesn't think that the Ji family is the culprit behind her husband's murder, right?]

[I don't know the truth of the matter, so I won't comment for now.]

【Let the bullets fly for a while. 】

Qian Yang paused flipping through the documents and asked, "Why is there such a rumor?"

Chen Xun said, "It's said that someone saw the two of them arguing on the side of the road. After the incident, we interrogated Ji Tiancai, and he said that He Xiuwen simply fell and he helped her back."

"I didn't expect such a good deed would lead to such a disaster."

"Before Liang Jun got married and went out to work, were there any rumors about He Xiuwen and Ji Tiancai?"

Chen Xun shook his head. "No, everyone in the village has similar relationships, and there are more than just a few of them who are their age. Ji Tian is the village chief's son. His family is wealthier than the others, and he's relatively young. He often goes to the county town and doesn't often hang out with the others."

Qianyang nodded, "So that's how it is."

"After what happened to He Xiuwen, he was also frightened and his mental state was very bad."

【well……】

[I still say that rumors kill people.]

Ji Tiancai also suffered an unprovoked disaster. He might even be hated by He Xiuwen's ghost.

Those chatterboxes are truly speechless. They're no better than the Liang army.

"Does Ji Tiancai have an alibi on the night of the incident?" Qian Yang suddenly asked.

Chen Xun said, "Yes, the old village chief asked him to go to the county to do some work, and he stayed in the county that day. Later, we asked the hotel owner and checked the surveillance footage, and it was indeed him."

Qian Yang said, "Okay."

"Do you know where the Ji family is now? I want to meet them."

Chen Xun couldn't help but sigh and shook his head. "He Xiuwen's story has left a deep psychological scar on the villagers. Every morning at three or four, she would knock on every door, sometimes crying, sometimes begging for help. Everyone was overwhelmed and moved out of town for fear that He Xiuwen would follow."

"What was the situation at the village chief's home back then?" Qian Yang continued to ask.

Chen Xun said in a deep voice, "The village chief's family is the worst offender. We often hear strange ding-dong noises in the middle of the night. We've summoned many magicians and Taoist priests, but nothing has worked."

Qian Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Was Ji Tiancai married at that time?"

"No."

"good."

[Alas, no matter what, we must find the Ji family first.]

【This is what happened.】

So why did Liang Jun want to kill He Xiuwen?

[The child was conceived before he left. The mere rumor with Ji Tiancai is not enough to be the motive for his actions.]

Unless there was an affair between him and Sammi Ho before they got married, I can't figure it out.

…

After reading the information, it is similar to what Chen Xun said.

After leaving the county public security bureau, they went to the mental hospital where Liang Jun was.

"Master Qianyang, do you have any ideas?" Xiaoshui couldn't help but ask when she saw that she looked worried.

Qian Yang said, "The police learned about the relationship between He Xiuwen, Liang Jun, and Ji Tiancai after questioning the villagers. What if the villagers didn't know the inside story? For example, they didn't know that He Xiuwen was pregnant before marriage, or they lied together?"

Liu Yi said: "Master Qianyang, do you think this matter is not that simple?"

"It's definitely not that simple."

At this point, she glanced at Lewis and said, “Don’t you feel that you are getting colder and colder?”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, closed his coat, shuddered, and said with a wry smile: "Isn't it getting later and later, and the temperature is getting colder..."

"No." Qian Yang pursed his lips. "When Ji Tiancai was mentioned, He Xiuwen's resentment became even stronger."

"Its child has been crying too."

Xiaoshui and Liu Yi looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Could it be..."

"Could it be that her death is related to Ji Tiancai?"

"There is a connection, but it's different from what's rumored in the village."

Perhaps only Ji Tiancai and Liang Jun know what exactly happened.

Ahhh, I'm getting more and more confused.

【What the hell is going on! 】

[There must be a result today, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep all night.]

I wonder if you've ever experienced the feeling that it's simply impossible to develop that kind of bond with someone you've been with day and night since childhood. It's not just siblings, but even childhood friends and friends. Overly intimate physical contact can be disgusting.

[Not necessarily, there are also childhood sweethearts who grew up together. ]

It depends on the person.

The group arrived at the mental hospital, and the county public security bureau had already notified the medical staff in advance.

"Master Qianyang, hello! I am the dean here."

A gray-haired old man came up quickly.

"Hello." Qian Yanghui shook his hand, "Where is Liang Jun?"

"He's in the ward right now. Please follow me."

"Thank you very much."

The old director brought them into the mental hospital and came to the door of a ward.

"Liang Jun is the patient who has stayed in our hospital the longest. His illness is caused by strong emotional stimulation, which has led to mental disorder. It is impossible to cure him with the current medical conditions." The old director introduced.

"You said before that you're not sure whether he started to become mentally ill before or after the incident?" Qian Yang asked.

"That's right, there is actually no way to confirm this." The old dean sighed.

The door of the ward was open. Liang Jun sat on the bed with his skinny body, staring blankly at the white wall. His pale lips moved from time to time, silently calling He Xiumen's name.

"He only remembers He Xiuwen now?" Qian Yang asked.

The old dean said, "Almost the same, but his emotions fluctuate greatly when the child and the rumored infidelity are mentioned."

"Okay, I understand."

"Liu Yi, come with me." Qian Yang said.

"good."

Qianyang and Liu Yi walked into the ward one after another and came to the bedside.

"...Xiu Wen?"

Liang Jun turned his head in a daze and looked at Liu Yi.

"I'm sorry...Xiu Wen...I'm sorry..."

"You finally... came to pick me up?"

He kept repeating these words.

Liu Yi looked at Qian Yang at a loss.

Qian Yang walked up to him, leaned over to take his pulse, carefully checked for a moment, and asked, "Is the child yours?"

"Child...child?" Liang Jun seemed unable to react to her words and kept repeating the two words to himself.

"Is the child in He Xiuwen's belly yours?"

"Yes...it's mine." Liang Jun said slowly.

"That's...Xiu Wen's...child...that's my, my child."

Thank you for your support, mua [star eyes]
