Chapter 146 What else is true? !
For a moment.
Both of them were quite silent.
Ji Huaisheng held it in for a long time before he said, "What did you say?"
Jian Yue said: "It's just what you heard."
Ji Huaisheng couldn't believe it and said, "Did something hit your head? Are you hallucinating? You like my uncle? There's no chance for you and him!"
Jian Yue thought to himself, who is he scolding? What an ignorant nephew!
If you knew that I just kissed your uncle, wouldn't you be scared to death?
Jian Yue was too lazy to give the child a new shock. He said, "Why are you asking me? You can go ask your uncle."
Ji Huaisheng was even more shocked. He asked, "You...you think I don't dare?"
Jian Yue stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Huaisheng took a few steps forward, then sighed and ran back. He really didn't dare, so he just looked at Jian Yue and said, "Don't try to lie to me. I know there's absolutely no way you and my uncle can be together! Because he..."
Halfway through his speech, he realized something and suddenly stopped talking.
Jian Yue asked: "Because of him?"
Ji Huaisheng hesitated and stammered, saying it was impossible to say.
Jian Yue sighed and said frankly: "Because he is a puppet?"
Ji Huaisheng was shocked. If he had thought that Jian Yue was talking nonsense before, he definitely didn't think so now. After all, who could make such a confidential matter so accurate? !
"How did you know?" Ji Huaisheng asked, "Where did you know that?"
Jian Yue said: "Don't worry about how I know this. First, tell me why he is a puppet and there is no possibility for us to be together."
Ji Huaisheng choked up, then said: "You are talking nonsense, he is a puppet. Although he is no different from a living person, my uncle said that puppets don't have real human emotions, so he definitely won't like you."
Most people would probably not be able to refute such words.
But Jian Yue just listened calmly, and after Ji Huaisheng finished speaking, he said: "But who told you that only humans have emotions?"
Ji Huaisheng choked.
"Things flying in the sky." Jian Yue pointed to the sky, then pointed to the ground: "Things walking on the ground all have feelings, even the flowers and leaves in the flowerbed over there, even the big trees over there, the wood on the ground, just because they can't speak, can you conclude that they don't have feelings?"
Ji Huaisheng immediately retorted: "Of course I don't think my uncle is a puppet and should have no feelings. He has loved me since I was a child. In my eyes, he is my dear uncle! I have never felt that there is any difference between him and normal people."
Jian Yue smiled gently and said, "If you really felt that way, you wouldn't have specifically reminded yourself not to make any distinctions."
Ji Huaisheng choked up. In fact, he was indeed a little scared.
The initial fear.
It was when he discovered that Ji Huaiyu would not grow old. He looked the same as he did when he was a child.
He was scared.
It was not until the year he was kidnapped that his uncle risked his life and walked through the rubble to save him. He burst into tears at that time and realized that this was his best relative.
"Don't worry about it." Ji Huaisheng said, "You don't understand our family's affairs at all, and you don't understand the puppet's affairs. I advise you that if you don't really understand something clearly, you will regret it one day."
After he finished speaking, he left because he had something urgent to do.
In fact, Ji Huaisheng didn't think from the bottom of his heart that Jian Yue could really achieve anything.
Jian Yue just listened quietly. He stood there, looking at the sky not far away. The rain stopped and the electricity came back, but the sky over the mountain not far away was a large red patch, giving a sense of oppression.
Until footsteps were heard behind me.
Jian Yue turned around and saw Ji Huaiyu walking towards him slowly.
Ji Huaiyu came over and dropped his coat on Jian Yue's shoulders. He said, "The people downstairs reported that some houses in the backyard were damaged, including yours. You don't have to go back. Go to my side yard and sleep."
Jian Yue knew that he must have heard it just now.
But he didn't take the initiative to ask, just said: "Okay, but there was an earthquake just now, I'm a little scared, can I sleep with you?"
Ji Huaiyu paused, and the man glanced at him sideways, and saw serious expectation in Jian Yue's eyes.
“…”
Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment, and finally raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you listen to what he advised you just now?"
Jian Yue asked, "Which one? He said there is absolutely no possibility between us, or that I will definitely regret it, or that he doesn't believe that I am his aunt?"
Ji Huaiyu thought about it carefully. Did the child just shout this sentence?
The two people walked back.
After walking a few steps, there was another muffled thunder in the sky, and the lights in the house flickered and then went out.
Jian Yue said: "The power outage again."
The night is very scary, especially the night in the horror copy. On a night like this when there is a power outage, people cannot turn on the lights even if they want to. In the invisible darkness, it seems like there are countless pairs of eyes hidden in the dark watching you, which makes people feel cold.
Jian Yue said: "This road is not easy to walk on..."
Just thinking about it.
A voice came from beside him: "Hand."
Jian Yue was stunned, and then with his good eyesight, he raised his hand, and the next second, his hand was covered by a large and warm palm. Ji Huaiyu said, "Follow me."
The nights in this town are different from those anywhere else.
When there was no light, it was really pitch black. It was so dark that you couldn't see the bottom of it. There was no place to be seen at all. But in such a place, Ji Huaiyu still walked smoothly as if there was no one around, like a shield that broke through the darkness and stood in front of him.
Jian Yue followed him like this, and he whispered, "Such good eyesight, so magical, is this also the puppet man's superpower?"
Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment, glanced at him and said, "I have a good memory."
Jian Yue: "...Okay."
Two people walked hand in hand.
As Ji Huaiyu led him forward, he slowly said, "But most puppets do move more smoothly at night, but it's not because they have good eyesight. On the contrary, because their eyes are carved, their eyesight is very poor. They almost rely on breath and sound to find people."
Jian Yue was curious: "But aren't the nose and ears also carved?"
Ji Huaiyu said: "Because of the green grass, the plant itself has the strongest light and ability. In order to better absorb nutrients, the perception ability is naturally the best."
Jian Yue nodded. He wrote down this piece of knowledge. As expected of a top student, he only knew how to highlight the key points during lectures!
but……
Jian Yue followed Ji Huaiyu. Because of the light, he couldn't really see Ji Huaiyu's expression, but he still asked, "Master, why are you telling me this?"
Ji Huaiyu seemed to pause for a moment, and then he slowly said: "Don't you want to know about puppets?"
Jian Yue was also stunned.
But he quickly reacted because Ji Huaisheng had just told him that he knew nothing about puppets and he knew nothing about the Ji family, so he would definitely regret it.
Xiaoyu must have heard this.
He has always been a more silent person. He doesn't know how to comfort Jian Yue, nor does he know how to make Jian Yue feel more at ease, so he uses this method to reassure him.
Jian Yue smiled gently and said, "I do want to know, but it's not because I'm afraid of regretting it, but because I just want to know more about you."
After listening to this, Ji Huaiyu paused slightly. It was a pitch-black night and nothing could be seen around. It was obviously a very dangerous place, but walking in such darkness, he felt as if their hearts were very close to each other.
Jian Yue didn't hear what Ji Huaiyu said, but he could feel him holding his hand tighter.
Keep going.
Just when Jian Yue thought Ji Huaiyu would not speak again.
Ji Huaiyu's voice fell, and he said: "The weakness of other puppets is vision, but mine is not."
Jian Yue suddenly looked up at him.
Ji Huaiyu said: "My weakness is not in me."
"Ah?" Jian Yue asked curiously, "Where is that?"
Ji Huaiyu said: "In the land."
Jian Yue was stunned. In the land?
The land is indeed the source of wood growth, but there are many things in the land.
Is it the land beneath their feet?
Suddenly——
Jian Yue thought of the once-a-century earthquake recorded in the book, and he immediately asked, "Does that thing have anything to do with this earthquake?"
Ji Huaiyu looked down at him and said calmly, "A little bit."
Most people will get nervous when they hear this, wondering what that thing is.
Jian Yue subconsciously asked: "Is it dangerous for you now? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Huaiyu was silent for a moment, and finally chuckled. He seldom laughed, and this was the first time Jian Yue heard his laughter. It was low and very pleasant to hear. He said, "No."
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "That's good. You must hide well then. As long as you hide well, then you will be invincible, right?"
"No, I'm not." Ji Huaiyu stopped and looked at him. The two of them were almost at his courtyard. There was a faint candlelight coming from the courtyard. He stopped and looked at him, then slowly said: "No living thing is without weaknesses, and the same is true for me."
Jian Yue looked at him and said, "I hope you are."
Ji Huaiyu was slightly stunned.
"That way you won't get hurt." Jian Yue said.
Ji Huaiyu's heart moved. He was invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. He had lived in the world for a hundred years and was actually used to being injured. It wouldn't hurt anyway. He thought so, and so did other people, so no one was afraid of him getting hurt.
Just thinking about it.
The man in front of him leaned over, Jian Yue stood on tiptoe, he gently moved closer to him and said, "But I will protect you."
Ji Huaiyu looked down at him. The person in front of him was so thin, but he leaned against him and whispered that he would protect him.
Jian Yue even used his hands and feet to show him: "Master, don't think I'm skinny and small. I'm actually quite strong. If we are in any danger in the future, no matter what your weaknesses are, I will definitely protect you from getting hurt!"
Ji Huaiyu looked at his face, which flickered under the dim light in the room. Only his eyes were still bright, like the only bright light in the night sky, that light could dispel the darkness and coldness.
Then he laughed.
A light drizzle fell from the sky.
Ji Huaiyu raised his hand, stroked Jian Yue's face, wiped the rain off his face, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, there will be no danger."
The sky was filled with drizzles that slowly fell on the yard which was already a bit messy due to the earthquake.
"This will all be over soon," he said. "I promise."
*
The second day.
When Jian Yue woke up from bed, the sun was already high in the sky!
Originally, he pretended to be afraid of the dark last night and wanted to sleep with Xiaoyu. However, Xiaoyu used the excuse of having to handle official business and did some work at a table not far away, while he lay on the bed.
At the beginning, Jian Yue thought, I wonder how long you can last!
Anyway, I sleep in your bed! You must come up to sleep when you are sleepy!
Who knows!
I didn't hold on for long before my eyelids started to droop and I fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.
Jian Yue sat up suddenly and looked around him. There were indeed some signs of people sleeping around him, but no trace of people. What a loss.
Someone comes in from outside.
Ji Huaiyu said: "Awake?"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Master, why did you get up so early?"
Ji Huaiyu was already dressed. He said, "I have something to take care of. If you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while."
Jian Yue said, "I'm not sleepy anymore. There was an earthquake yesterday, so there must be a lot of things going on outside. I'll get up. Anyway, I'm still your housekeeper, so I can help. There must be a lot of houses that need repairing due to the earthquake, and I'm familiar with this. Let me go."
Ji Huaiyu didn't refuse, he just said, "Can you take care of yourself?"
Jian Yue patted his chest fiercely and said loudly: "I'm fine!"
The slap was so hard that he coughed twice.
Ji Huaiyu: “…”
Jian Yue smiled foolishly and said, "It doesn't count."
Ji Huaiyu didn't stop him in the end, he just said: "If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will handle it."
Jian Yue nodded quickly.
After Ji Huaiyu left, Jian Yue immediately got up. He went to the old butler of the house and got the layout of the whole house. Then he arranged the current servants in the house to work in repairing and tidying up the courtyard of the house.
Finally, on the drawing, Jian Yue identified the document room of the previous Ji family.
Unlike the information room, the document archives are where the information about past disciples is stored. Yesterday, the old puppet man said that the ring belonged to a disciple, and there might be clues where it is.
He went without stopping.
The house where the documents were kept also looked dilapidated.
When Jian Yue went in, he remembered that the old man said that this disciple was a clothes maker and called her Mingzhuer.
There is really too much information on the shelves.
Jian Yue was thinking when the phone in his hand suddenly rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello?"
An excited voice came from the other end of the line, "Butler Wang! You finally answered the phone. Was everything okay over there last night?"
Jian Yue said: "It's okay."
Nangong Xi's voice came over and said, "Where are you then? Have you made any progress on the matter you asked us to do?"
Jian Yue said directly: "I'm at Ji's house, I also found something, come and find me."
He briefly described the route. Now the Ji family's backyard was full of people, all kinds of people were repairing the house. Nangong Xi and Wang Wenwen were covered in dust and looked like workers, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
The three of them met.
Jian Yue asked: "What did you find?"
Nangong Xi said: "When the earthquake happened last night, Wenwen and I happened to be in the restaurant of those wealthy businessmen. We originally wanted to secretly take a look at the treasures they brought with them. We were thinking about what to look for, but because of the earthquake, they were all very scared and took out their things to look at. We took the opportunity to take some photos."
After Jian Yue took the photo, he looked at it and found that there were a lot of treasures, very diverse, including buttons, books, cups, and even some shoes.
The only thing they have in common.
There were words on these things. These words were very unfamiliar and none of them could understand them.
Wang Wenwen asked, "What on earth is on this?"
Jian Yue said: "Look at this shelf."
Both of them looked over, and Jian Yue took another book from the shelf. The three of them came forward to take a look, and the words on the shelf were almost exactly the same as those on the treasure!
"That's the kind of writing!" Wang Wenwen said, "This is really the writing of the Ji family!"
Jian Yue said, "We don't have the translation yet. I have a mission, which is to investigate the reason why the puppet tribe suddenly became extinct. I now vaguely guess that it has something to do with the earthquake, but I am sure it is definitely not because of the earthquake itself. As long as we find the reason, we can get the translation."
Wang Wenwen asked, "Where can such a thing be recorded?"
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Think about it, although the Ji family has no records, the town has existed for thousands of years. If something happened to the puppet-controlling clan, there would definitely be a record of it in the town record book."
Everyone listened!
That makes sense!
My thoughts opened up instantly.
Jian Yue said, "I'm going to the mayor's house. I need to repair the house and I need to borrow some people from him. The people in the house alone are not enough."
Wang Wenwen said with emotion: "Butler Wang, you are really dedicated to your work. You really care about this house!"
Nangong Xi said: "This may be his own home in the future, how can he not pay attention to it?"
"So that's how it is!" Wang Wenwen suddenly realized.
Nangong Xi thought he understood what he said.
Who knows——
Wang Wenwen said excitedly: "Butler Wang treats the company as his own home! This spirit is really a role model for our generation!"
Nangong Xi: "...Forget it, go play somewhere else."
Wang Wenwen:?
Everyone went straight to the mayor's house. There must be a record book in the mayor's house, and such major events in the past hundred years would naturally be recorded.
Who knew that when they got there, there was already someone there.
The mayor was sitting in the yard, and sitting opposite him was a very beautiful woman. She looked young and beautiful, and every move she made was full of charm.
The mayor said excitedly: "Goddess Liu, I have always been your fan. I could only see you on TV before! You are simply my dream lover. I am so lucky to meet you today!"
Standing next to Goddess Liu was her assistant, who said, "Our sister originally came here to film, but the earthquake happened just one day after she arrived. She was worried about the people in the town, so she asked me to come to your house with her early in the morning, and she didn't even have a sip of water!"
The mayor quickly pushed the cup over and said, "Drink it!"
The glass cup was a bit old, and Goddess Liu frowned slightly.
The assistant quickly said, "She doesn't drink anything outside, sorry."
The mayor then said: "That's right..."
Was just saying that.
Goddess Liu picked up the cup and drank the water, then smiled and said, "It's okay, we are all fellow villagers. I came here mainly to make some contribution to the town, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I will donate money to disaster relief and will also call on all places to help here. But I heard that there was an earthquake here a hundred years ago?"
The mayor said, “Yes.”
Goddess Liu said, "Then can you let me see your town's record book? I mainly want to know more about the things in the town, so that I can be more careful when doing public welfare."
The purpose is very clear.
Came here just for this thing.
Jian Yue and the two people beside him looked at each other and realized that the person in front of them was definitely not simple and was most likely a player.
The mayor was so touched when he heard this that he immediately said, "No problem, no problem!"
Jian Yue was about to speak.
Goddess Liu looked over here. Jian Yue wanted to test it out and see if they could cooperate so that resources and information could be shared.
result.
Haven't spoken yet.
Goddess Liu said with disdain: "Who are they?"
The mayor took a look and said, "I'm not sure. You look unfamiliar. I guess you are someone who has come to town from another place recently. What do you want to do?"
Jian Yue said: "We also want to understand the situation and see if there is anything we can do to help. We also want to take a look at the record book so that we can better help the town."
The words fell.
Goddess Liu sneered and said, "From out of town? Filming? You look really unfamiliar. I don't have any impression of you. You must be an extra in the crew. If you are an extra, don't come. You should use your salary to buy instant noodles. I'm here. I will prepare all the things and supplies. You can go now."
This is what it means to have the clue all to yourself.
Everyone looked at each other and everything became clear.
The mayor hesitated and said to Jian Yue: "Goddess Liu is right. I think you should go back. The goddess is a very good person. You don't need to worry about her."
Jian Yue said: "No matter how small the force is, it is still force. Moreover, Goddess Liu, you think we are of small status, but everyone starts from a small status, right? Love should not be divided according to status, right?"
Goddess Liu sneered and said, "Only those who are incompetent need to take it step by step. My strength is there, and it is different from yours."
The mayor quickly responded, "Yes, yes, I know the goddess's strength. Her songs are popular all over the country as soon as they are released!"
Goddess Liu became even more proud after hearing this. She said, "Did you hear that? Hurry up..."
She hasn't finished her words yet.
A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: The latest news, Goddess Liu's songs are fake and she hired someone to write them, and her concerts are fake and she hired someone to sing them backstage! Her face is also fake and she had plastic surgery, her name is also fake, oh, of course, the most important thing is that even her gender is fake! ]
[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]
The message fell.
Goddess Liu and the mayor's faces changed.
Jian Yue: “…”
Depend on!
Then what else is true?!
