Sleeping Valley (VII)

"Didn't we agree to move back to the city once we make enough money? When are we going to move back?" Zhou Ziyu said coquettishly, lying on Bai Shi's chest.

Bai Shi is the person in charge of the scenic spot, and Zhou Ziyu is his girlfriend who he has been dating for twelve years but has not married.

She raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes seductive: "It's been so many years, shall we get the marriage certificate?"

Bai Shi's eyes flashed with impatience, and he forced a doting smile: "You also know how high the housing prices in the city center are. I want to save more so that I can withstand the risks if something happens."

"Besides, we've been together for so long, we're definitely aiming for marriage. Honey, please be patient. This is all for our future."

"You say this every time. I don't know if you have someone else outside." Zhou Ziyu turned her head away and complained in a pretended angry tone.

Bai Shi hugged her in his arms, leaning against her neck, and softened his tone: "How could it be? You are enough for me, and even if you give me ten courages, I wouldn't dare to do it."

As he spoke, he took Zhou Ziyu's hand and placed it on the part of his body that was heating up and boiling, and changed the subject: "You work in the city, and I can only see you once a week. You don't know how much I miss you, do you feel it?"

Zhou Ziyu pulled her hand away unnoticeably and rubbed it on the sofa to express her disgust.

"We finally get some rest. There's still plenty of time in the evening. It's better to deal with the urgent matters first." She stroked Bai Shi's chin, narrowed her eyes and chuckled.

Bai Shi frowned. In his impression, Zhou Ziyu was very obedient and rather dull. She would not refuse his request, and she was not so good at flirting.

But this difference instead aroused his fading passion. He reached out to hug Zhou Ziyu again, but she gracefully avoided it with a coincidental turn.

In fact, Zhou Ziyu is no longer Zhou Ziyu, she is possessed by Qianjin.

However, Qianjin's original plan was to possess Bai Shi directly, but the moment she saw this person, she had a strong sixth sense that she could not possess him.

She settled for the second best and continued to possess Zhou Ziyu. Zhou Ziyu looked for clues from the chat records with Bai Shi, and indeed found something wrong. The two were obviously a couple, but Bai Shi talked about work and his boss every other sentence. If you didn't know, you would think he and his boss were a couple.

Therefore, Qianjin used the topics that frequently appeared in Zhou Ziyu's memos, such as marriage, work, and household registration, as a breakthrough point and used Bai Shi's words.

And Bai Shi's evasive attitude made her even more suspicious.

"I'll take a call." Bai Shi's phone lit up, boss.

Bai Shi answered the phone but ran out to avoid suspicion, which was a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults.

Qianjin nodded with a smile. She wanted to hear what they were talking about. She wanted to hide from her girlfriend. Her soul moved with her thoughts, and she quietly left Zhou Ziyu and possessed the bird outside the window, which had not yet landed on the balcony railing.

Bai Shi seemed to sense something and his eyebrows twitched, but after looking around, he saw nothing.

"Shiraishi Zemu, those two people haven't come out in three days. I hope they're okay. I just wanted them to find them and not affect the business of the scenic spot. Now it's getting difficult."

The tone and atmosphere of their conversations were not like those between a boss and an employee, but more like communication between peers.

Shiraishi Zemu doesn't sound like a local.

Wait, here’s the chat record between Zhou Ziyu and Bai Shi: I suggested that we get the household registration booklet registered first, and then discuss the wedding and other things later. After so many years, I just want a guarantee.

Would a normal man really let the woman he likes wait for him for so many years? Even after he said that he would register first and then meet her, Bai Shi still refused.

"When something happens, they just buy some publicity and trending topics to suppress it. Entertainment is paramount these days, and no one will remember it after a while. Besides, we agreed that you want money, and we want luck. We can't back out just because of thirty-seven missing people."

The white stone statue is preaching.

The boss on the other end of the phone said humbly, "Jiang Yu and Yu Shu are not simple people. After all these years, what exactly do you want? Didn't you say you wanted something from the river valley? Why haven't I seen you take anything away?"

"We're already taking it. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Don't worry, just focus on making money. I'll explain everything to the higher-ups."

Bai Shi hung up the phone impatiently, turned around and walked to Zhou Ziyu with lustful eyes, and pushed her head down.

The owner of the scenic spot hung up the phone tremblingly, like a child who had done something wrong, and timidly glanced at himself in the mirror.

His shoulders felt heavy and sore, but there was nothing there. In the mirror, a pair of withered hands were still pressing on his shoulders.

"I recorded the call. What else do you want me to do? Let me go. I'm just a businessman looking for money." The boss's face turned pale and his voice trembled.

Because the boss was a fool and had not yet hired a Taoist priest or a wizard just in case, the old man was much less troublesome than the daughter. He just showed up and gave him a warning to scare him.

But unfortunately, he didn't know much. No matter how the old man tried to scare him or force him to confess, he just kept saying the same few words.

"The Japanese said they wanted to cooperate with me to develop the valley. They didn't want to share the economic benefits with me, but only wanted the things in the valley. But after all these years, I still don't know what they want."

The old man can't stand businessmen who will do anything for money. It really proves the saying that businessmen have no country.

The village was filled with the aroma of food, and everything seemed to be going on in an orderly manner, except that no one was moving.

The warm sunshine melted the cold river water. Jiang Yu and Yu Shu stood by the river, ready to go into the water.

Yu Shu stood by the river, looking at the emerald green water with some resistance, fearing that there might be snakes or giant creatures in the water, which would bite him as soon as he got into the water, and that would be a real pain.

Jiang Yu quickly stripped down to only a pair of tight black briefs and walked a short distance into the river.

Yu Shu didn't want to look, but his eyes had their own ideas. Jiang Yu's face and figure were so attractive that he couldn't take his eyes off him.

He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. His pectoral muscles and shark muscles are just the right size and fullness without feeling overly bodybuilding. His abdominal muscles are clearly defined and neat, like white chocolate with a few drops of water hanging on them.

Yu Shu actually had the idea of using his fingertips to push the water droplets to slide across the gaps between his abdominal muscles.

He was shocked himself and kept shaking his head to get rid of this strange idea.

"There's something wrong with this water." Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the center of the river not far away.

The water is cold but not biting, instead it has a refreshing feeling that penetrates the heart.

If there really was an incident of a river god getting married, the river water should have made people feel cold and uncomfortable, and it definitely wouldn't have felt like this.

Yu Shu stood motionless on the shore: "Is there something in the river? Then come up quickly!"

"You're not coming down?" Jiang Yu shook his head.

"Can't I just not go down?" Yu Shu almost said out loud what he was afraid of.

Jiang Yu waved at him: "You'll feel it more clearly if you come down."

Just then, the clouds drifted away, and a beam of sunlight shone down. The rippling water surface surrounded Jiang Yu, and his already fair skin became even whiter with a soft light effect.

It's like an elf who has strayed into the mortal world and is playing in the water.

"I'll go up and show you slowly?" Jiang Yu teased.

"Who's looking at you? You're just being sentimental. I'm just thinking." Yu Shu said stubbornly without blushing or beating his heart.

Jiang Yu didn't answer. He walked ashore to Yu Shu and started to take off his clothes.

"Hey, hey, hey." Yu Shu took half a step back.

Jiang Yu said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. When you were in the hospital, I helped you clean up every day. Why are you embarrassed now? If you just click on it, I won't do it."

"I can do it myself. Don't touch me. It's not nice."

Jiang Yu pointed at his abdominal muscles, raised the corner of his mouth and said temptingly: "I'll give you a chance."

Yu Shu noticed his cheeks getting warmer and turned his head away: "I have it too, I don't want it."

They had clearly kissed before, and Jiang Yu had seen everything, both what he should and shouldn't have seen, while he was in the hospital. He wasn't embarrassed at all those two times, but this time his reaction was so intense that he even shocked himself.

Ultimately, it was that kiss on the eyelid.

Jiang Yu stared intently and smiled faintly as he watched Yu Shu take off his clothes, as if appreciating a work of art. There was anticipation and joy in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

Yu Shu has been exercising for many years and has a good figure. Compared to Jiang Yu, who looks muscular when he takes off his clothes but thin when he wears clothes, his muscles are more symmetrical.

Jiang Yu's eyes moved down uncontrollably, from the collarbone to the six neat abdominal muscles. The dark blue boxer shorts made his skin look particularly white, making the mole next to the mermaid line on the left even more conspicuous.

They were about the same height, but Yu Shu had better body proportions. Jiang Yu's gaze finally fixed on Yu Shu's long, straight and powerful legs. His Adam's apple moved slightly and he swallowed.

Yu Shu could feel Jiang Yu's gaze the whole time, but he was too embarrassed to say it. After all, he had been staring at Jiang Yu just now. He was really confused by the eyelid kiss and even wanted to touch him.

"The water is so cold." Yu Shu shuddered.

Jiang Yu followed Yu Shu and said, "You have a special physique, so you should be able to sense something specific."

Yu Shu closed his eyes, ignoring Jiang Yu's alluring form and concentrating. The water seemed to come alive, swirling around him, and he heard a tired, hoarse groan.

"Did you hear that?" Yu Shu suddenly opened his eyes, and white smoke shaped like a snake with antlers floated before his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes, and the smoke slowly sank into the water, as if it were an illusion.

"There was also a burst of strange smoke, did you see it?"

"None. Describe it."

Yu Shu opened his lips slightly and was about to speak, but when he looked down, he saw something swimming in the water, which scared him, but strangely, he did not feel any change in the speed of the water flow.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu saw the fear that flashed across Yu Shu's face and moved closer to ask with concern.

Yu Shu took a breath to calm himself: "I heard a muffled groan. It sounded very painful and uncomfortable."

He described in detail what he saw and heard, and finally added: "This water is very spiritual."

Surprise and disbelief flashed across Jiang Yu's eyes. He looked up at the mountains behind the forest and said in a deep voice, "There is a dragon vein in this valley."

Since ancient times, mountains are the power of dragons and water is the blood of dragons. Therefore, dragon veins are inseparable from mountains and water.

No wonder those two children, who were clearly ghosts, not only had no negative energy but were full of spiritual energy. It turned out that they were nourished by the dragon veins.

Logically speaking, the dragon vein should be extremely spiritual, and they could sense it if they got a little closer, but they had to go down the river to feel it.

"Something has polluted and eroded the dragon vein." A terrible conclusion flashed through Jiang Yu's mind.
