Chapter 39 I want to go back to sleep with the Master
Jian Yue felt that, although no pure master-servant relationship required them to sleep in the same bed, it was like this now. For some things, someone always had to be the first to do so, and he was just the first one!
In the new era, we must be free masters and servants, masters and servants who are not defined!
Just thinking about it.
Shen Yushu's voice came from the side. He said, "Butler Wang, where are you going now?"
Jian Yue was getting up and putting on his shoes. He took the water from Shen Yushu and said, "Master, the village chief said that the heavy rain the other day washed away the riverbank in the village. I plan to go take a look."
Shen Yushu frowned and said, "The riverbank has been breached and we need to find someone to repair it. What are you going to do? Move bricks?"
"I am a village party secretary after all!" Jian Yue said, "I have to go and take a look."
In fact, it was because the system had given him a task, asking him to find Shen Yue's nameplate, so he couldn't just stay at home to look for it, he had to go out and take a look.
Shen Yushu sneered: "You are still the housekeeper."
Jian Yue shamelessly came over and pulled Shen Yushu: "Master, this is unfair. I am walking outside to find a way to help the old lady's condition. In fact, all this I do is for you, Master. For this family, I work day and night, all year round... Ouch, my waist."
He moved so violently that he nearly sprained his waist.
Shen Yushu hurriedly supported him. From this angle, he could still see some bruises on Jian Yue's collar. His eyes darkened and he said, "If you are tired, just rest at home. Someone will take care of your mother's affairs."
Jian Yue said: "It's okay, young master. I have thick skin and good physical strength. Please don't pity me just because I am a young grass!"
Shen Yushu sneered: "Really? It seems you were pretending last night?"
"Well, I was indeed tired at that time." Jian Yue said weakly: "After all, I also need to sleep!"
Shen Yushu didn't bother with him.
Anyway, not many of the things that Butler Wang, a man who says one thing and means another, says are pleasant to hear.
"Go ahead." Shen Yushu said, "But you have to be back in the afternoon."
Jian Yue happily jumped up and said, "Yes, Master!"
The live broadcast room has just started, and the audience has already gotten used to it:
"Who can understand the familiar pull light?"
"Host, don't eat too well!"
“Hahahaha outrageous.”
"Why is there someone partying every night in a horror dungeon?"
"Our housekeeper Wang has great physical strength!"
Jian Yue was heartbroken when he exchanged medicines in the mall. Fortunately, he learned his lesson last night and asked the young master to slow down. Over the past few days, the young master finally stopped being so energetic and learned to exercise restraint. So even though he had a little back pain, he could still bear it.
After leaving the house, Jian Yue arrived at the riverbank at the entrance of the village.
The heavy rain caused the riverbank to overflow, which did look a bit scary.
Some people from the archaeological team were also there.
Tiantian waved her hand and said, "Butler Wang, you are here!"
Jian Yue walked over and found Li Meng, Wang Kun and others were there. After not seeing them for a few days, the smell of corpse oil lamp on Wang Kun became stronger. Li Meng and Tiantian were still quite suitable.
"What are you doing here?" Jian Yue said, "The riverside is very dangerous."
Tiantian said: "Sister Wen Yu brought us here. She said that every year when it rains, it is a signal from the mountain god, meaning that the mountain god sacrifice is coming soon. The flowing river is a message that the mountain god is angry. In more than ten days, the villagers will start to sacrifice and worship the mountain god."
Talking and talking.
Tiantian came closer and lowered her voice: "And I heard from Brother Scar and the others that before the Mountain God Festival begins, if we still can't find the nightmare master of this world and open a passage to leave, we will be like the previous archaeological teams and will never be able to leave Wanfu Village."
Jian Yue's expression also became a little serious.
Tiantian comforted him: "Butler Wang, I know you are scared, but don't be afraid. I believe in Brother Dao and the others..."
"No." Jian Yue said: "What I want to ask is, if I can't leave Wanfu Village, can I continue to be the village party secretary?"
Tiantian: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy:
"Hahaha, his organization is more important than anything else."
"I also found a place in Wanfu Village, host."
"If I can't beat them, I'll just join them."
"I'm not afraid at all, okay? I'm a village official now."
Jian Yue looked at Tiantian's expression as if she had eaten something, and he smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, go on."
Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and continued in a low voice: "Then Brother Dao and the others said that the mountain god is actually a vicious evil beast that feeds on human souls. The villagers in the village sacrifice their souls to the mountain god every year in exchange for immortality. We must find a way to restrain the mountain god before we can strike first. He asked us to come to the river bank."
Jian Yue seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that Scarface and his friends have much more information than I do.
Tiantian’s boyfriend Wang Kun said: “Butler Wang doesn’t have much time left. Do you want to join forces with Brother Dao and the others? I think you are so powerful. Together with Brother Dao and the others, we can definitely survive.”
Jian Yue came back to his senses and said, "There is no need to join forces. A strong man is a strong man no matter where he is."
Wang Kun was shocked: "Butler Wang, are you so confident in yourself?"
Jian Yue said seriously: "I mean Brother Dao."
Wang Kun: “…”
The audience was delighted to see this expression:
"Hahaha you still don't understand him."
"His source of confidence has always been that he can rely on others instead of himself."
"Brother Dao can rely on the boar to climb a tree."
"I didn't expect the Mountain God Festival to be here so soon."
“Time flies by so fast.”
"It's mainly because this live broadcast room is so enjoyable. Others spend their days like years, but he spends his vacation like a year."
Jian Yue said to Tiantian and the others, "Stay away from the riverbank. I'm going to talk to the village chief about something."
Tiantian and the others nodded.
Jian Yue found the village chief, who was sitting not far from the riverbank, directing several villagers who lived closer to the riverbank to leave. When he saw Jian Yue coming, he said, "Secretary Wang, help Li Goudan's family move their things."
"Okay." Jian Yue took the initiative to ask: "Where should we move to, Village Chief?"
The village chief replied, "Move to the school. The riverbank has been uneasy these days. Let them stay there for a few days."
Jian Yue nodded.
He walked over and saw Li Goudan's family moving things. As he got closer, he felt that the man looked familiar. Jian Yue asked curiously, "What is your relationship with Li Tiezhu?"
"Hey, how do you know my brother?" Li Goudan said: "Tiezhu is my brother!"
Jian Yue thought to himself, more than just knowing him, I've even helped your family find chickens before, but let's not talk about this glorious past.
"Where's Tiezhu?" Jian Yue asked, "Why can't I see him?"
Li Goudan sighed when he mentioned this matter. A sighing expression appeared on his dark and thin face: "Brother Daniu has fallen in love with someone else. Brother Tiezhu is so sad."
Jian Yue's heart tightened: "Then, he won't..."
"So he went to help the pockmarked brother at the village head move things." Li Goudan said, "He just left not long ago!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Your village is truly a place of outstanding people and open-minded folk customs!
He suppressed his complaints and simply helped Li Goudan move things. Aunt Li insisted on taking the only two remaining chickens in the house with them, saying that these were the only two left and she would take them with her even if she died.
Li Goudan was there to persuade her: "Mom, there will be a lot of people at school, don't steal our chickens!"
"You're right." Aunt Li was persuaded and said, "Quick, Goudan, call your brother back. Mother will kill a chicken for you to replenish your bodies today!"
Jian Yue just watched the tug-of-war scene.
Something that he had ignored long ago suddenly came into his mind.
School……
But he has never seen a child in Wanfu Village for so long.
There were no babies running on the ground or in cradles. Oh, it seemed that there was one in Widow Li's house, but it was a dead baby that had no breath.
There are no newborns in Wanfu Village.
It was clearly broad daylight, and Jian Yue, realizing what had happened, stood there, only to feel a chill creeping up his back, leaving him a little speechless.
Jian Yue walked up to Li Goudan, took the box of clothes he handed over calmly, and said, "If we all move to the school, where will the children in the school live?"
When this sentence came out, Jian Yue saw Li Goudan stiffen for a moment, and then he said with an expression that said, "How can you say such a thing, Wang Guanjia?" "No child!"
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and asked without shame: "Then, what about the children?"
Li Goudan said: "There are not many people in our village. Children die soon after they are born. Only married people can worship the mountain god and get the blessing of the mountain god to give birth to a few children."
Jian Yue asked: "Does the mountain god have such great power?"
She's not the Goddess of Fertility.
It is in charge of childbirth, longevity, and river water.
"Of course!" Li Goudan said righteously, "The mountain god will bless everyone in our village. Secretary Wang, I think you also need to go and worship. You are too weak and your waist is not in good condition. It will be difficult for you to find a wife."
Jian Yue almost sprained his waist. He had severe back pain. After hearing this, he said, "No need. My back pain is because of the trouble with finding a wife."
Li Goudan looked like he didn't believe it.
Jian Yue quickly helped the family pack their luggage and sent them to the abandoned school site in the village. He saw the dilapidated small mud houses and asked, "How long has this place been abandoned?"
"I don't remember." Li Goudan said, "I remember the last time I saw it was during class at school."
Jian Yue: “…”
Just when he thought there would be no progress today and he wouldn't be able to get any information out of him.
Aunt Li said from behind: "Secretary Wang, your archaeological team came to our village just to study the problem of why children in our village always die! Didn't your archaeological team study it for a long time last time?"
Jian Yue was stunned.
It seems that the previous archaeological team used this name!
Jian Yue smiled and tried to brush it off: "Well... but it seems that no results have been found."
"That's right!" Aunt Li said, "That's right. All your research is just nonsense. It's not as useful as our prayers to the mountain god. I remember there was an archaeological team doing scientific research at the village committee. It was all a waste of effort!"
Jian Yue was shocked.
He looked at Aunt Li in some surprise.
Aunt Li asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jian Yue was so excited that his hands were shaking. The archaeological team, scientific research, Ji Feng, he thought of Ji Feng's real or fake laboratory that he could not find no matter where he looked. Originally, Jian Yue thought that he might not have the chance to find the so-called laboratory until the end of the copy, but he never expected it!
Village committee!
The thing he had been looking for for so long turned out to be right in front of him all along!!
The audience in the live broadcast room was also excited:
"Holy crap, there really is another research lab?"
"No one has found the previous strategy!"
"Fuck! It was all for nothing that I helped Aunt Li find a prostitute!"
"Hahahaha! The village party secretary is so awesome!"
Jian Yue asked, "Aunt Li, is that research lab still there?"
Aunt Li looked like she was talking nonsense. She said, "How can it still be there? After the archaeological team left, the old village committee was abandoned by the village chief a long time ago. Now no one goes there at all!"
It turns out it’s not the same place.
What happened there at that time that would cause the village chief to simply change the address of the village committee?
Could it be that...
Did Ji Feng really discover some truth that the villagers are so taboo about that they are unwilling to touch it?
The Secret of Wanfu Village...
Jian Yue had never felt so close to all this before. He asked, "Aunt, do you know where the old site is?"
Aunt Li's face changed and she said, "How would I know? I'm too old to remember these things."
The audience in the live broadcast room was somewhat discouraged:
"Ah, I knew it wouldn't be that easy."
"These ghosts won't help the players."
"The village chief will definitely not say it."
"The clue is broken."
“The anchor is really miserable.”
"Then what's the difference between getting this clue and not getting it?"
Everyone was sighing.
Jian Yue just opened his eyes and lied: "Aunt Li, you are right, but I think it's not okay for everyone to live in such old houses after this flood. As the village party secretary, I really can't watch the villagers suffer. When I go back, I will plan to expand and renovate our village so that everyone can live in big houses and raise more chickens!"
He emphasized the last sentence.
Aunt Li's eyes suddenly brightened.
Jian Yue sighed again and said, "But now the residents in our village are scattered and messy, and I can't get a more detailed plan for the time being. I think this plan will have to be put on hold for the time being..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Why did you put it aside?" Aunt Li interrupted him quickly: "Secretary Wang, although I am old and my memory is not good, I have lived in this village for so long that I can remember where even a tree grows. I remember that there is a complete household map of the village in the classroom behind the school. You can just go there and take a look. Don't put it aside!"
Jian Yue said: "Really? How can I do this? After all, I am not from the village. It would be embarrassing to go and get it..."
After all, he remembered that there were regular villagers watching over the classrooms at the back of that school.
He had been stopped every time he tried to enter the archives before.
Aunt Li had been indifferent to Jian Yue before, but now she was afraid that Jian Yue would run away: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Just go ahead. If anyone stops you, just tell me my name! I've been in the village for so many years, and my head is not made of dough!"
Jian Yue held Aunt Li's hand and said excitedly, "Aunt, you are really aware of the development and construction of the village. Don't worry, I will definitely build a big chicken shed for you in the future, and I guarantee that no one will steal your chickens anymore."
Aunt Li also said excitedly: "Butler Wang, what's the matter with chickens? I'm just thinking about the development of the village. So you have to get me a bigger one."
The two of them chatted away in this irrelevant manner.
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned by this scene:
"ah?"
“Hahahaha, I give up!”
"Butler Wang, you are such a big liar!"
"From players to ghosts, no one can escape!"
“I am dying of laughter!”
Jian Yue originally wanted to take this opportunity to go directly to the back of the school to take a look, but many villagers were coming to join the move and he couldn't get away as there were too many people, so he had to choose another time.
Busy for a while.
It's getting late.
Jian Yue remembered that Shen Yushu asked him to go back early, so he simply went back first. When he returned to the Shen residence and went to the study, he found that no one was there.
Aunt Zhang appeared behind Jian Yue like a ghost and said, "The old lady said that there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, so she went to pray for blessings. The young master was worried about the old lady's health, so he went there too."
Jian Yue said: "Okay, then I'll go over and take a look."
He actually seldom comes to the backyard.
For some reason, every time he came to the backyard, he would feel a little nervous. Of course, he attributed this to the nervousness of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law, although the old lady was hoping that he would take the five million and leave the young master.
He wants to take it too!
But the young master must have frozen the card right away! !
He is not stupid!!
The young master must have more money than the old lady, he will work for the young master for the rest of his life!
Jian Yue arrived at the backyard, but found that there was no one there for the time being. He walked into the bedroom where the old lady usually stayed. There was a strong smell of herbs. The old lady was in poor health, so she needed to boil medicine all year round. It was normal to have this smell.
He turned and was about to leave.
A breeze blew, lifting a corner of the curtain not far away, causing Jian Yue to stop suddenly.
That was an inner room he had never entered before. At the moment the wind blew, he smelled a scent. The scent was very, very faint, and mixed with the heavy smell of herbs. It was not obvious at first, but his sense of smell was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he had come into contact with this kind of thing a lot before, so it was even more acute.
It's the smell of corpse oil lamps.
This lamp is only found in the villagers' homes and the archaeological team, but not in Shen Yushu's home. This means that people coming from outside probably don't have this thing.
Why……
Would the old lady's room have this smell?
Jian Yue stopped inexplicably. He looked at the room covered by the curtain and subconsciously felt that the room was unusual. Perhaps there were things inside that had been hidden under the water.
But he had no time to hesitate.
The old lady stays in the house all year round, and the mountain god festival is just around the corner. This may be his only chance.
Jian Yue made up his mind in an instant. He turned around again, reached out and lifted the curtain, and the interior layout came into view. This was an old room, and even the windows were made of wood. The first thing that caught his eye was a red lantern placed on a table not far away. He walked over and looked down.
If anyone else came, they would not be able to tell the difference between this lantern and other people's lanterns.
But Jian Yue did carefully check the village chief's lantern at that time.
The paper-pasting technique of this lantern is contrary to the village chief's habit. The village chief is left-handed, so he has some unique habits in making lanterns, which this lantern obviously does not have, so this lantern was not made by the village chief.
He gently applied a little lamp oil and smelled it.
The taste is different too.
They are not from the same batch, and may even be older, which proves that this lantern was not obtained after they came to Wanfu Village.
Is it Zhang Ma’s?
But how dare Aunt Zhang put things in the old lady’s room?
Countless thoughts flashed through Jian Yue's mind. There was nothing else suspicious in the room except this. He put the things back in place and prepared to leave first.
He turned around and walked out, lifting the curtain.
He met a pair of eyes. The eyes of the woman standing at the door were dark and deep, like unfocused black stones. When she stared at people so intently, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Jian Yue paused, his heart stopped for a moment, and he finally found his voice: "Madam."
The old lady stood at the door, still staring at him closely, and slowly said, "What are you doing?"
The voice was inexplicably chilling.
It was already dark. The lights in the corridor swayed in the mountain breeze, falling on her shadow. The shadow was dark, but it looked like a ferocious beast, and even the air around them became very thin.
The audience in the live broadcast room were scared to death:
"Ahhh how did I get caught!?"
"It's over!"
“This is the trigger condition.”
"Anchor, you are going to die, why don't you run!"
"There's no point in running."
"This is really going to be fatal!"
In this quiet evening, as the old lady was about to approach step by step, Jian Yue said, "I'm here to find the young master."
The old lady sneered and said, "Butler Wang, you are telling such a lie, do you think I am stupid? It's almost evening now, it's time to rest, why are you looking for Xiaoyu instead of going back to your room?"
Jian Yue broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "The young master needs someone to serve him at night, so of course I have to find someone."
The old lady said, "I know he is my son. Xiaoyu doesn't like to be disturbed when he is working. Next time you tell a lie, you have to tell it in a more decent way."
Her voice was light.
It's like he's saying to be more careful in your next life.
The air around them was getting thinner and thinner, and the chill was like a sore on the bone, slowly climbing up as she approached. Jian Yue finally said, "Okay, actually I want to go back to sleep with the young master."
The old lady wanted to laugh even more. She said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Xiaoyu is the most polite person. How could he..."
I haven't finished talking yet.
Suddenly, a light came from the corridor in the backyard, and then a tall figure appeared at the corner. His voice came with the wind: "Butler Wang! I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere. Why don't you come back with me to rest? What are you doing here with your mother?"
Jian Yue looked up at Shen Yushu.
Shen Yushu strode over and glared at Jian Yue as he got closer. He whispered, "I told you that mother is not in good health. Now is not the time to give you a name to provoke her. What are you doing here?!"
Jian Yue: “…”
He glanced weakly at the old lady in front of him.
Old lady: “…”
