Chapter 604: Young Children Don’t Know Worry
Xie Yuchuan went crazy for a whole day and night, and everyone in the Xie family, young and old, had their hair turned white with worry.
Young children do not know sorrow and only enjoy making new friends.
"Looking at Chuan Ge'er being so lively and energetic, I really can't understand why he suddenly... Alas!"
"It was you who punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall!" Zhou, who always disliked verbal conflicts with her husband, couldn't help but get angry when she saw her son like this.
Uncle Xie Shentang's face turned black. He didn't dare to refute. He just lowered his head and clasped his fists, squeezing them again and again, secretly regretting it.
If he had known this would happen... he would definitely not have done this!
It was too late to say anything now. Just look at his son Xie Yuchuan. Not only did he go around the huge Duke's Mansion inside and out for a walk, but he even went out of the mansion to play in this neurotic state of talking to himself. The whole family was so scared that they took turns to persuade him several times.
Xie Shentang regretted his decision and wondered if his ancestors were heartbroken because they saw Chuan Ge'er kneeling in the ancestral hall all night.
He secretly took the offerings to the ancestral hall to burn incense and apologize to the gods and ancestors.
"Xie Shentang, a descendant of the Xie family, knows he was wrong. It was my indiscriminate and willful behavior that caused our son Xie Yuchuan to lose his mind and talk nonsense. Please ask the family gods and ancestors to bless Brother Chuan and keep him safe!"
Xie Shentang was really regretful this time. He was sincere and kowtowed devoutly after lighting the incense.
When he stood up and looked forward, there was only the silence of the night in the Xie family ancestral hall.
Silence that lasts for a hundred years.
"Please find peace of mind."
Outside the ancestral hall, Xie Shentang stood still for a moment, then walked down the stairs.
Because of his grandmother, Madam Xie's opposition and persuasion, Xie Yuchuan, who always respected his grandmother, could only take Tu Huan on a tour of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion with regret.
Tu Huanwan never expected that when she first landed in the Xie family mansion when she traveled to the Daliang Dynasty, she would actually be able to take a detailed tour inside and out in this way.
What was even more unexpected was that the "tour guide" was actually the young Xie Yuchuan himself.
This... has to be said to be magical.
In fact, the two of them didn't spend the whole day strolling around. No matter how big the mansion was, they could finish the tour in an hour or two. During this time, the talkative Xie Yuchuan introduced her to many interesting things, mostly about the interactions between relatives at home, or the stories between the brothers and sisters in the mansion. Or, when the two of them were tired, they would sit down somewhere to rest and ask and answer questions.
Usually, Xie Yuchuan asked the questions and she answered them.
Questions like: Where is the person you want to see? Is he in Beijing? What's his last name? What does he look like? Do you want me to help you find him? After seeing the person you want to see, will you come back here?
...wait, a whole basket.
The curious boy was filled with a great spirit of exploration at her appearance.
Thanks to Xie Yuchuan, Tu Huan had a complete tour of the scale and details of an ancient duke's house, and learned what it looked like.
Except for the young man in front of her, no one else in the entire Protectorate Mansion could see her.
Tu Huan looked at Xie Yuchuan beside her, not knowing whether Xie Yuchuan was special or the relationship between the two was special.
She suddenly remembered that Xie's family said that he had never believed in evil since he was a child, and he didn't believe that the Xie family had a family god. She couldn't help but feel curious and suddenly asked him.
"I see there are tablets of gods in your ancestral hall."
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and asked, "Sister, are you talking about the divine tablet placed at the highest point?"
"Yes." Tu Huan nodded.
Xie Yuchuan's face wrinkled slightly, then he relaxed, puffed out his cheeks, and explained, "I don't know much either. I only know that a hundred years ago, my ancestor had a family god who protected him. That's why he was safe and sound, and later on, the Xie family became famous."
"However, I heard from the elders that even after a hundred years, no one has seen any divine manifestations. Who knows if it's true or not?"
Xie Yuchuan looked helpless but had to keep it in mind, which made Tu Huan almost unable to hold back her laughter.
The two sat by the lake admiring the moon. Not far away, dozens of pairs of eyes were secretly staring at Xie Yuchuan, as if they were afraid that he would do something out of despair.
Xie Yuchuan sat on a stone bench by the lake and fed the fish under the moon.
Tu Huan looked at the koi carps gathering in the shimmering water and wanted to feed them a few times, but unfortunately she couldn't do so.
The two people, tired from shopping, chatted freely.
Xie Yuchuan never talked to anyone before, and what she said was so interesting that I really didn't want her to leave.
After a day of coming and going in the mansion, Xie Yuchuan already knew what his family was planning.
It's nothing more than a ritual to exorcise evil spirits.
But he didn't think that his sister was evil.
She had never harmed him, nor had she seduced him. As the two of them got closer, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
In the street stories, evil people don’t look like this.
Tu Huan asked him, "Do you believe in the god who doesn't show up?"
"I don't believe it."
Xie Yuchuan said without even a second of hesitation.
Tu Huan smiled.
It turned out to be Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan turned around and asked her, "Sister, have you ever seen what a god looks like?"
Tu Huan blinked, thought about it, and shook her head.
“No.”
Apart from the system, she has indeed never seen it, so this is not considered fooling a child.
Xie Yuchuan's expression relaxed, and with an expression of "I'll tell you when you see me", he said with a smile: "You haven't even seen my sister, so I don't believe it even more."
From a distance, Mrs. Xie was worried. She looked at the children by the lake from a distance, her brows furrowed. She turned to her eldest son, Xie Shentang, and asked, "How are things going over there?"
"Everything has been arranged, don't worry, mother."
"Well, just make the arrangements." Old Madam Xie looked at her grandson Xie Yuchuan and sighed, "Our ancestral hall is different from other people's. Although the gods don't appear for a hundred years, we can't always go there to disturb them. After Brother Chuan's affairs are settled, we will close the ancestral hall this year. Except for festivals and important occasions, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, so that the family gods and ancestors can have some peace and quiet."
Xie Shentang listened to his mother's lecture from the side, his face filled with shame and regret, saying, "I was reckless."
Old Madam Xie glanced back at him, but didn't criticize him too much. She just pointed at the way Xie Yuchuan in front of her kept turning his head to talk to the air, and said to her son Xie Shentang, "Look at how Chuan'er looks like. I'm afraid he really has been contaminated by something and can see something. Children are weak and fragile, so it's easy for them to lose their sight. Tomorrow, you should ask the masters to take good care of him, so as not to cause any future problems and ruin his future."
Mrs. Xie's words were full of meaning, and Xie Shentang nodded repeatedly, "Mother is reminding me that when the masters arrive tomorrow, I will definitely give them a lot of instructions."
Old Madam Xie nodded, stood there and observed for a while, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at her son Xie Shentang.
"Shindou huh?"
"Mom, tell me."
Mrs. Xie was about to ask, but when she got to her lips she thought maybe she was overthinking it, so she pursed her lips, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Xie Shentang silently studied his mother's expression and asked tentatively, "What do you want to ask, mother?"
Madam Xie shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Xie Shentang looked up at his son who was suffering from an "evil disease" by the lake. After staring at him for a while, his eyes suddenly trembled. He turned his head abruptly and looked at his mother with a look of astonishment.
"Mom, you don't think Yuchuan saw something, do you?!"
