Chapter 55
It was late at night, but the candlelight in the Dong Family Ancestral Hall was still glowing dimly.
A nanmu coffin was placed in the center of the ancestral hall, with a huge white funeral flower on the coffin lid.
The ancestral tablets of the Dong family are placed in the solemn shrine, with a total of eight of them.
On the long table in front of the shrine is Dong Haoyue’s tablet.
Yitu had been to the ancestral hall before, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
But Du Jinyu is not.
Emotions of shock and grief surged up in her, as if she had just learned of Dong Haoyue's death.
She controlled Yi Tu, her figure standing outside the ancestral hall lonely and stiff.
Just when she couldn't help but want to step into the ancestral hall, the figure hesitated.
The reason was simple. It was unknown which ancestor of the Dong family appeared, and a sudden flash of golden light blocked Du Jinyu's way.
It couldn't cross the threshold of the Dong Family Ancestral Hall, otherwise it would be knocked out of Yi Tu's body.
Du Jinyu could only endure the anxiety in his heart. He kept wandering at the door with quick steps.
Yitu watched helplessly as the perfect opportunity to escape disappeared before his eyes without him being able to grasp it.
Ghost NPCs like Du Jinyu are much smarter than NPCs in low-level fields, and even have their own ideas.
Rather than saying that the low-level field is manipulating NPCs to implement rules, the intermediate field is giving NPCs the ability to manipulate rules.
What about the higher-level advanced fields? How would they operate? I simply couldn't imagine.
Chu Sichi, kneeling on the mat, kept watch as usual.
He stared blankly at the red love knot he had placed on the ground. It was the one Du Jinyu had personally woven and given to Dong Haoyue on the day they got engaged.
To this day, he still remembers the look of shock that flashed across Ah Yu's face when she learned that they were engaged, and the face that was filled with sadness and silent tears.
The next day, Du Jinyu brought such a small thing with a very forced smile on his pale face, which must have been a knot of love woven out of exhaustion.
Thinking of this, Chu Sichi felt a pain in his heart.
He had never expected Dong Haoyue's death, but the fact that Du Jinyu had also died with him was a heavy burden he couldn't bear.
After so many years of living together, he can no longer distinguish his feelings, which one is family affection and which one is love.
It was obvious that the three of them were entangled with each other, but they soon deviated from each other's lives and became separated by life and death.
Chu Sichi had a splitting headache and the beautiful red heart knot appeared before his eyes twice.
Behind this heart-shaped knot is Dong Haoyue's coffin.
He knew that he shouldn't miss anyone else in front of his fiancée's spirit, even if that person was Du Jinyu, who was like his own sister.
But Chu Sichi could not control his emotions, just like this intertwined and intertwined fate.
The candlelight flickered in the ancestral hall, and outside the door a slender shadow wandered back and forth, approaching and moving away.
Chu Sichi was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to stand up, he hesitated and stopped where he was.
"Xiaoyue, is that you?"
No one responded.
Chu Sichi smiled bitterly, walked over and gently placed the heart knot at the door, which was only separated from the shadow outside the house by a door.
Yitu stood in the distance, watching the man's actions expressionlessly, his shadow quietly cast on the window paper.
"Xiaoyue, Ayu is dead." Chu Sichi murmured:
"She...actually went there on the same day as you."
"You clearly agreed to get married on the same day before you died, so how could it be..."
Chu Sichi couldn't continue, his voice became hoarse and tears welled up in his eyes.
Yi Tu was a little confused. He didn't know who Chu Sichi was feeling sorry for.
Who does he like, Dong Haoyue or Du Jinyu? Or maybe both?
"On the day we got engaged, Ah Yu gave me this heart knot and begged me, crying, not to marry you."
"She said that if we got married, she would have to stay alone in the Du family again."
Chu Sichi looked dazed for a moment. He didn't know why he said these words to Dong Haoyue, but he felt very depressed.
If Dong Haoyue were still alive, he might have said something to comfort him.
Because she is such a kind, strong and gentle person, different from Du Jinyu's dependence and weakness.
"Xiaoyue, I'm sorry." Chu Sichi said hoarsely, "I'll accept this heart knot."
"Ayu said that if I accept this heart knot, she will never bother us again."
"After accepting this heart knot, I always felt guilty towards you, so I kept it secretly and didn't dare to tell you."
"After we get married, I'll find a suitable time to tell you about this." Chu Sichi smiled bitterly, "Who knows..."
But he never got another chance.
The shadow standing outside the door was motionless, showing no emotion at all.
This made Chu Sichi feel a little scared for no reason. Even though he knew that Dong Haoyue would not hurt him, he had already become a ghost. Moreover, the scenes of the tragic deaths of Dong's servants appeared in his mind again.
He thought about the unknown cause of Dong Haoyue's death, and his resentment was extremely heavy. Chu Sichi couldn't help but take a step back.
But at this moment, the shadow outside the house waved at him.
Chu Sichi's hairs stood up instantly. The person outside the door was not Dong Haoyue.
If it was Dong Haoyue, how could he not be able to enter his own ancestral hall!
Yi Tu's consciousness was cold. He knew that Du Jinyu was controlling his body and trying to call Chu Sichi out of the Dong family ancestral hall.
Because it wanted to kill Chu Sichi.
This murderous intent was so unconcealed that Yitu had to doubt its purpose.
Was it for the three of them to stay together in the underworld, or was it because he had been holding a grudge against Chu Sichi for a long time?
Could it be that the reason why Du Jinyu hates Chu Sichi is that she feels that this man betrayed her by marrying Dong Haoyue?
Yi Tu really couldn't figure it out for a moment, and felt that both of these guesses were not right.
However, Du Jinyu's intention to kill Chu Sichi is now very obvious, which is not a good thing for the players.
You should know that the day after tomorrow is the 18th day of the first lunar month. In addition to the two ghost brides, there will also be two grooms participating in the wedding.
Whether it is Chu Sichi or Shao Feng, the wedding cannot be held successfully if one of them dies.
If the wedding is not completed, the mandatory tasks in the card field cannot be completed, and the players will be trapped here.
Thinking of this, Yi Tu felt inexplicably nervous. Fortunately, the ghost NPCs were given thoughts, and the plot NPCs were also given the ability to think.
Chu Sichi was not stupid enough to be called out of the ancestral hall by Du Jinyu, so it was just a false alarm.
Du Jinyu stood in front of the ancestral hall for a long time, so long that Chu Sichi's legs became numb from kneeling. When a faint light appeared in the sky, the shadow slowly left.
Light flashed in Yitu's eyes. He didn't know what Du Jinyu would do next. He could only watch his uncontrollable body walk towards the back door of the Dong family.
Soon Du Jinyu took him out of the Dong family and into the adjacent Du family compound.
The Du family is very big, and Yitu felt a little dizzy because of her.
But the point is not this, but that Yitu knows where this thing is taking him.
They came to the familiar ancient well again, and a damp and cold breath hit them in the face.
Yitu wanted to struggle, but his body felt as heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't move at all.
So he could only watch Du Jinyu drag his body into the well.
The cold well water instantly submerged him. Drowning was undoubtedly the way of death that Yi Tu feared the most, and now he was experiencing this extremely painful process.
Water entered his nasal cavity, and his oxygen-deprived brain slowly lost its ability to think.
There was no way to escape the disaster. The moment this thought flashed through Yitu's mind, he lost all consciousness.
Endless darkness enveloped him, and Yitu kept looking for an exit in panic.
An ancient well appeared in front of him again and again. He knew that jumping into it would be the beginning of pain, but he had to jump in again and again.
After drowning, there is another drowning.
Yitu was soaked in cold water all over, including his trembling soul.
Just when he was about to extinguish the flame of his desire to survive, he faintly heard someone calling his name.
Yitu.....
Yitu sat on the ancient well, staring blankly at the place where the sound came from, but it was still pitch black there.
There is no one, obviously no one.
So disappointed, so desperate.
Just when Yitu was about to jump down to fully experience the pain, a big hand came out of nowhere and patted his head.
[Warning! Your prop leather jacket has triggered a taboo and is no longer valid!]
Yi Tu was stunned for a second, but soon he regained consciousness and heard Jiang Hanyu's voice.
"Yitu, wake up."
Yitu opened his eyes with great effort, and the light dispelled the darkness in front of him.
Alive.
"Why are you still crying?" Jiang Hanyu's hand was still on the man's head.
The person in his arms looked dazed and fragile, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were wet, like a puppy abandoned by the whole world.
The man couldn't help but frown, feeling a strange pang in his heart.
After hearing Jiang Hanyu's voice, Yitu tried to raise his hand, but the numbness all over his body had not yet gone away.
"I...have been dreaming all this time?" Yitu's voice was unusually dry.
Jiang Hanyu was slightly stunned, then he slowly helped the man up and said in a deep voice:
"what happened."
Yitu and he slept in the same bed, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Yitu recovered and shook his head weakly: "It's okay, just a nightmare."
A nightmare that might have come true.
Although he didn't know how Du Jinyu did it, everything that happened in the dream seemed extremely real.
It was so real that he didn't even dare to think about it, the pain of dying repeatedly.
Yi Tu's body was very cold, and he couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Hanyu, but after hesitating for a second, he realized that something was wrong and shrank back again and again.
"Are you cold?" Jiang Hanyu noticed that something was wrong with this person.
Yitu regained her true appearance, and her pretty face showed a fragile expression of unbearable pain.
His pale lips were trembling slightly, and his hands were hugging himself tightly.
Yitu didn't say anything, nodded and shook his head.
Even though I woke up from the dream, the chill did not dissipate.
He knew that this chill was left in his soul by Du Jinyu, and unless he got out alive, it would remain there for every day he stayed in the card room.
Jiang Hanyu didn't understand what he meant and felt unusually helpless.
Yitu glanced at him, a look that was full of pity.
"I'll just be alone for a while, it's okay."
Jiang Hanyu hesitated for a moment, "Are you really okay?"
Yitu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It was so cold, so cold that it felt like suffocation.
Jiang Hanyu's body stiffened instantly when he heard this voice. He almost got out of bed and turned around immediately.
"I'll go out and take a look at the situation first and come back soon." Jiang Hanyu said solemnly.
Yitu wrapped the quilt tightly around himself. There was still some residual warmth from the man on it, and now he was greedy for any trace of that warmth.
Even though he knew that the warmth would soon dissipate.
"Okay." Yitu answered obediently.
Jiang Hanyu paused as he stepped out of the door, his heart sinking.
what is going on.
