Jiang Yanxu held the carving knife and continued to carve patterns on it.

His hands were steady. The lines drawn by his knife and pen were only as thick as a hair, but they were straight and neat, full of symmetrical beauty.

"The magic circle in your yard has no defensive effect, and it has been reduced. It is difficult for those with strong minds to be deceived. The two dogs are too young and need to be raised for more than six months before they can start guarding the house. After what happened, I am also worried that you will be in danger, so I want to leave you with a means of defense."

"Is that all?"

He Ruixue lowered her head and pointed at the tortoise shell curiously, "What's it for?"

"It's a rebound attack, but it only lasts for one minute. That's enough time for you to run out and call for help."

"What if I get beaten up?"

"Even if you were hit by ten elephants at once, this tortoise shell is my master's treasure. He bought it in Tibet at a high price. It has spirituality and is not comparable to ordinary shells."

Did she break the law of heaven to be attacked by so many elephants?

"You're selling your father's land like a son, and you don't feel bad about it. Be careful, he'll come back and settle the score with you."

"It's just a dead object. It's most worthwhile for me to use it on you. Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

He recited the formula, pierced his finger with the needle tip, and smeared the blood along a specific route.

The bright red liquid gradually filled the gaps in the pattern, and a blood-red pattern appeared on the dark green tortoise shell, which looked a little weird.

An almost invisible ray of light shone into it, making the already jade-like tortoise shell even more lustrous, like a jade ornament that had been well-maintained, and its value immediately rose to a higher level.

It’s hard to tell whether the effect is strong or not, but it’s definitely very expensive.

Jiang Yanxu handed it to He Ruixue, "It's not good to wear this thing close to your skin. Put it where you can get it at any time, preferably under your pillow."

He Ruixue took the item and was obviously touched, but she insisted on arguing with him, "What if someone knocks me out with smoke first?"

He said helplessly, "You've read too many stories. To achieve an anesthetic effect, the concentration of the drug must be high enough and the effect must last long enough. There's no such thing as a drug that makes you faint after just one slap or one that makes you pass out after just one touch. You have to cover yourself with a handkerchief for a while."

Your room is quite large. They'd have to carry so many drugs here that the cost of the drugs would end up being more expensive than the person. It would be better for them to just rush in and carry you away."

"Who says medicine is not expensive?"

He Ruixue glared at him. "I was sound asleep. I definitely didn't know they moved me away. But you don't need to. Chenchen and Brother Lang will definitely wake me up."

"So now I've been reduced to competing with two dogs to see who's more useful?"

“That’s right!”

Jiang Yanxu hugged her and acted funny, "Oh, my sincerity is misplaced. People are worse than dogs. I'll go take them away now."

After chatting and laughing for a while, his expression became lonely again, "In fact, the best way is for me to stay by your side, which is what I have always hoped for.

But I can't do without people at the funeral home. Some people have asked me to secretly perform rituals, and I also need to maintain the connections my master left me, otherwise I will definitely lose the assets under my control."

He is not a power-hungry person. If he can't protect himself, he can just go and live in the mountains. There is no place where he can't live.

But since he already has a partner, he has to consider the secular perspective.

Jiang Mengheng said that he was not worthy of He Ruixue, but he just thought it was sour talk and didn't care. But what if her family thought the same way?

Jiang Yanxu has never been a free and unrestrained breeze, but a calm and tranquil water in the emptiness that follows nature.

Water benefits all things without competing, but he just wants to spend the rest of his life watering a big tree and let it grow freely.

Since he decided to integrate into He Ruixue's life, he naturally had to make changes.

He Ruixue didn't say anything, but just lifted his head and observed his expression, speaking with a bit of seriousness, "Are you happy doing these things?"

He shrugged, "I can't say whether I'm happy or not. It's probably similar to my job managing a funeral home. It's a bit annoying, but I can handle it with a little more effort."

"If those things make you unhappy, then don't do them. Don't take Jiang Mengheng's words to heart. You understand me. No matter what others say, no one can shake my mind. In my eyes, you are the best, and that's enough."

Jiang Yanxu stared at her for a long time, then smiled with relief, "I understand, but if I do something, you won't have to waste your breath explaining it to others.

I want everyone to know that your vision is never wrong."

…

The next day, Jiang Yanxu left. He Ruixue was too lazy to go into the kitchen, so she went to her eldest brother's house for dinner.

Lu Lan is taking care of the baby, He Yannuo, who is over one month old. He is fat and tender, and his face has lost its red color when he was just born and turned white, making him very cute.

He had a blue birthmark on his waist. Lu Lan was a little worried, but her sister-in-law said it was normal and would disappear naturally when he grew up.

He had just finished drinking milk and was blowing bubbles with his mouth open.

The women in the yard gathered around him and teased him, saying, "This child is easy to take care of. He doesn't cry or make a fuss at all."

"That's right. When my puppy was just born, he wanted to tear the roof off the house. The whole family never had a good night's sleep. My parents couldn't stand it and hid in the countryside."

"He's going to cry if he's not full, right? Did you forget to feed him?"

"I fed him. Who knows why he's crying? Look at him now. He's just a naughty boy. No matter how you beat him, he won't listen. He was born to collect debts."

He Ruixue suddenly spoke out of the blue, "Babies are sensitive. If they don't get food, they'll cry at first. But when they realize no one has fed them for a long time, they'll slowly stop crying and fall asleep to conserve their energy, quietly waiting to die."
