Chapter 42 This damn ancestral hall successfully caught my attention!
The more Jian Yue put it in her mouth, she almost wanted to spit it out.
Aunt Zhang was watching the excitement not far away. She said slowly, "Butler Wang, what are you afraid of? You are not married and you don't have a wife. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Jian Yue almost choked himself to death, and the sound of his cough was earth-shaking.
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and she asked, "Butler Wang, are you okay?"
Jian Yue stopped coughing. Under Zhang Ma's puzzled gaze, he choked and blushed, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's okay. I, I just like to cough by nature."
Aunt Zhang: “…Okay.”
The audience in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy:
"Hahaha, he has a wife."
"It's over, it's over."
"Anchor, you are in trouble now."
"What kind of good person would go into a dungeon and carry a ball with him?"
Seeing Zhang Ma's weird look, Jian Yue couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Zhang Ma, that... I mean, of course, I'm not talking about myself, but my friend asked me to help ask. If I have a friend, and he... well, his partner is a man, then if one of them eats this fruit, will they get pregnant?"
Aunt Zhang raised her eyes and looked over. Her dark and cloudy eyes clearly reflected Jian Yue's figure. After a long silence, she said, "Butler Wang, although I know you are eager to have a child, men cannot give birth to children."
Pause.
She added, "Neither can the young master."
Jian Yue was originally drinking water, but after hearing this, he spit out water again: "Cough... cough cough..."
Shen Yushu glared at him and said, "Butler Wang, is your throat uncomfortable?"
Jian Yue said weakly: "I'm sorry, Master. I just coughed for my friend."
Shen Yushu said to Aunt Zhang, "Okay, Aunt Zhang, go back first and make some soup for Butler Wang to cure his cough in the evening, so that he won't have to go out every day because of a sore throat."
Aunt Zhang said, "Yes, Master."
After Aunt Zhang left, the room finally returned to silence.
Jian Yue's face turned red from coughing. He finally looked up at Shen Yushu again. The two people in the room looked at each other. Jian Yue said, "Master, there really are berries in this world."
This is a very serious matter.
This means that this ferocious beast may really exist!
Shen Yushu's expression was also somewhat serious, and Jian Yue thought that he also thought this matter was very important.
I never expected——
Shen Yushu glanced at Jian Yue and said, "Well, Steward Wang, although you have this idea, our Shen family is not that kind of pedantic family. Even if you can't have children, I won't let anyone embarrass you."
Jian Yue: “…”
No, Master! That's not what he meant!
When he looked up, he saw Shen Yushu's face, which said, "Don't explain, I understand." Jian Yue felt that the more he explained, the more the young master might think that he was forcing a smile! !
"Children, there's no rush for children." Jian Yue said, "I think we are still young now, let's talk about it later, even if we can't have children, we can adopt one. Master, your business empire is so big, you can go to the orphanage in the future. Most of the children there are actually very well-behaved and sensible. We can adopt more, so that there will be more people to share your burden."
Shen Yushu is so busy every day. Every time he comes back, he handles official business in the study. If he really has children and a successor in the future, Shen Yushu should be able to relax a little.
Shen Yushu snorted lightly, and said in a noble and cold manner: "If you are not anxious about this matter, then I will not be anxious either."
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Shen Yushu said, "Once the matter of Wanfu Village is settled, let them do it."
Jian Yue: “…”
Young master, your lack of urgency seems to be different from mine.
He looked at Shen Yushu who was not far away looking at him, his eyes full of affection, affection that needed no words. Although he was tough-mouthed, this person was actually much more honest. He wouldn't say many words of love to him, but as long as he mentioned it, he would do many things to love him.
When he hesitated and wanted to retreat, Shen Yushu would keep moving forward.
In the past, Jian Yue didn't dare to talk about the future with Shen Yushu, because he always felt that he was in danger of losing his job at any time, so how could he have any future? If they really talked about it, it might be bitter. But when they really talked about it, he found that it was not the case. When discussing the future, he was actually quite happy, because Shen Yushu told him about the future that he could not see and could not reach.
When he saw Shen Yushu was happy, he became happy too.
There is also a survival countdown on the system panel. It is less than 72 hours. His remaining survival time is only 67 hours and 20 minutes, which is less than three days.
But inexplicably, he was not in a hurry at all.
It turns out that when people feel happy, even death doesn't seem so scary to them, because they no longer have too many regrets.
Jian Yue kept staring at Shen Yushu and smiled.
Shen Yushu was originally handling official business when he suddenly saw someone sitting at a table not far away. He stopped looking at the computer in front of him and smiled at him while holding a strawberry fork in his hand. His eyes were cool. The moonlight outside the house rose slowly, but it was not as beautiful as the soft light in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me so happily?" Shen Yushu raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you thinking about? You are so happy."
Jian Yue said: "Master, are you happy?"
Shen Yushu was stumped by his question. His handsome and cold eyes remained silent for a long time, and then he coughed lightly.
Jian Yue asked: "Master, why are you coughing? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
The audience in the live broadcast room were dying of laughter:
"Hahaha because he loves to cough by nature."
"Auntie Zhang: I'm really impressed. You two should drink some cough syrup!"
“Can a horror dungeon have such a tender moment?”
"So warm, is this the world of the living?!"
The room was quiet for a moment.
Jian Yue walked up to Shen Yushu with the berries in his hand. He handed the fruit on the fork to Shen Yushu and said, "Master, I heard that this fruit is good for your health. You should try some too."
Shen Yushu said: "I don't like it, you eat it yourself."
"Oh." Jian Yue took a bite of the fruit, his cheeks puffed up, and asked, "By the way, Master, you haven't told me yet, are you happy?"
Shen Yushu knew that the annoying little devil, Butler Wang, was up to something again. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Xingfu, what's wrong?"
Then he was met with Jian Yue's bright smile. He stood in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of bright eyes that were all about him. He leaned over, kissed Shen Yushu's lips and said, "I can make you even happier."
…
the next day
Jian Yue had a good sleep.
In the past, he needed to exchange the ointment when he got up, but the young master was naturally smart. According to the principle of practicing more when you are new, smart people can learn things quickly. When he woke up today, apart from feeling some soreness in his limbs, he didn't feel any particular discomfort.
The sun was already high outside.
Jian Yue sat up from the bed. There was a small note stuck to the headboard not far away. It was left for him by Shen Yushu. The handwriting on the note was very cool and domineering.
The old lady felt better and wanted to go out for a walk, so Shen Yushu accompanied her.
Seeing this, Jian Yue suddenly remembered what Scarface said last night. The Shen family was also one of the centers of the formation. The Shen family also hid a magical weapon that could suppress the murderer. However, Scarface and his men couldn't find this magical weapon anywhere.
Do you want to take this opportunity to look for it?
Jian Yue's thoughts were going back and forth in his mind. In the end, he got up and prepared to go out and take a look first.
The system panel suddenly refreshed:
"Limited Time Mission: [Shen Yue's Nameplate]
The remaining task time is 8 hours, please complete the task as soon as possible. "
Depend on!
He almost forgot about this mission.
Jian Yue originally thought that since he had found Ji Feng's shabby research laboratory, Shen Yue's nameplate should be there and there would be clues, but in fact, there weren't any.
wrong……
There must be something I have overlooked.
After being interrupted by Scarface and his group yesterday, Jian Yue always felt that he had overlooked something, so he got up and got dressed directly. He walked outside, and after a brief greeting with Aunt Zhang, he went back to the laboratory. Sure enough, the hole in the wall was still there. He turned on the light and found that the things inside were not damaged.
It might be that the air got in, and all the yellow talismans on the wall fell off and scattered all over the floor, as if some kind of yellow paper money covered the entire laboratory. Just looking at it made one feel a chill down one's spine.
Jian Yue walked down the stairs slowly.
The entire research laboratory seemed to be a little more gloomy than the first time I came here. Things in the room were scattered around in a mess. Some file bags must have been opened by Scarface and the others, and some were scattered on the ground, making it look even more dilapidated.
On the wall, Jian Yue finally saw those old photos again.
A group photo of Ji Feng and the archaeological team members, and some photos of the village taken by Ji Feng at that time. He looked at the wall again bit by bit, and finally, Jian Yue found a problem.
As Ji Feng’s girlfriend, why isn’t Shen Yue’s photo in it?
More than just photos.
Jian Yue began to check the file bags on the table again. There were even a lot of life records of former team members in them, but without exception, there was no record of Shen Yue!
There are only two possibilities. Maybe Shen Yue did not participate in the research of the archaeological team. Another possibility is that someone took Shen Yue's file bag. Who took it away? Was it still here yesterday? Could it be Scarface and his friends? But Ji Feng didn't take away anything here, so why did he take Shen Yue's?
When they returned yesterday, they were all frightened by the curse. Scarface and his team didn't seem to have the strategy for this laboratory, otherwise they wouldn't have come down directly. When they left, they didn't see any players taking anything. So who took the information? !
Countless speculations swirled in Jian Yue's mind.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also quite worried:
"This clue was cut off so quickly."
“Can the anchor guess it?”
"With Scarface and the others causing trouble, it will probably be difficult!"
After Jian Yue put down the things in his hand, he walked up the stairs slowly. He was thinking about the things that happened in the past few days. Although the countdown of life was disappearing little by little, he would not survive if he was a headless fly. Some things were like duckweed on the water. They had already revealed a little corner, but when he touched them, they quickly ran away.
Come out of the building.
He hadn't walked far when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It’s Shen Yushu.
Jian Yue's mood improved a little when he saw him. Shen Yushu was standing at the gate of the school. The man had a slightly frown on his face, but when he saw Jian Yue, his brows relaxed a little unconsciously.
Shen Yushu asked: "Why are you here?"
"I went to the archives to look up information." Jian Yue asked, "Why is the young master here?"
Shen Yushu replied, "Didn't I leave you a note? Mother is feeling better now and wants to walk around the village. There are some villagers who left their homes and are staying here temporarily, so mother came to visit them."
Jian Yue flattered her quickly and said, "The old lady is kind-hearted."
Shen Yushu glared at him and said, "Since you're here, come back with me later. It's not so peaceful outside now. There are dangers everywhere. Why are you still wandering around outside all day!"
"Hehe." Jian Yue smiled and said, "Isn't the young master here?"
Shen Yushu's mood obviously became better after being coaxed by him, but he still criticized seriously: "Slippery tongue."
Seeing that his face was tense, Jian Yue took advantage of the fact that no one was around and secretly kissed Shen Yushu on the side of the cheek, just like he was coaxing his wife.
The originally angry pufferfish seemed to have lost its air, and Shen Yushu's ears turned red. The overbearing president looked up at Jian Yue's smug expression. In Jian Yue's sneaky smile, Shen Yushu suddenly pulled the man over, and amid Jian Yue's exclamation, he pushed the man down and kissed him. His kiss was deeper and stronger, and only at this moment would the strength in his bones be revealed.
After the kiss, Jian Yue's breathing became a little disordered.
He looked around nervously, and when he was sure that no one was around, he said, "Master, you... let's do this..."
Shen Yushu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He said, "What are you afraid of? What's there to be ashamed of?"
Jian Yue also felt that there was nothing shameful about it. He was mainly afraid that if the people in the archaeological team saw him and the male protagonist together, they would think they had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
"Or..." Shen Yushu narrowed his eyes: "You have someone else behind my back?"
Jian Yue said quickly: "Master, you are innocent. I can swear to heaven that there has never been anyone other than you. Not to mention humans, there is no ghost! Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and…"
He had just finished speaking.
There were a few muffled thunders coming from the sky not far away, which was very disrespectful.
Jian Yue glanced at the sky speechlessly, then met Shen Yushu's cold face, smiled awkwardly and said, "This, this is all an accident, Master, you have to believe me, if anything really happened to me, I would be in trouble..."
"Damn it, you're playing with fire!" Shen Yushu covered his mouth directly. The man's face was more serious and earnest than Jian Yue had ever seen. His dark eyes looked dangerous as if a storm was brewing. His aura also changed. He opened his lips and said, "Don't let me hear that word."
Jian Yue choked.
Why does the young master suddenly look so scary? Even scarier than when he suspected he was being cuckolded before.
Isn't he an atheist?
"Master..." Jian Yue said hesitantly: "I really..."
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away. It was the old lady's voice. She stood in the corridor not far away and said, "Xiaoyu...you are here."
Although the weather is a little hot today, the old lady is still dressed very warmly, wrapped in layer upon layer of cotton-padded jacket. She might be seriously ill. When she first came to Wanfu Village, you could see her white hair, but now she starts to wear a thick hat when going out. She stood there, and because of her thick clothes, her figure could not be seen.
But his face was very pale.
The eyes also look a little dull.
Shen Yushu walked over and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"The riverbanks have caused the villagers a lot of suffering every year." The old lady said slowly: "Look, can we find some people to come to the village these days and renovate all the houses and rooms in the village?"
Shen Yushu nodded and said, "Mother is right. Actually, I have thought about it too. However, the climate conditions in Wanfu Village are special. There is heavy fog on the mountain all year round. Helicopters will get lost when they come in. In addition, the mountains here are steep, so few workers are willing to travel a long distance to come here. But it doesn't matter. Since it is a good thing for the benefit of the village, I will take care of these things."
Jian Yue had actually thought about this kind of thing before.
He also wanted to bring electricity to Wanfu Village, tear down the ancestral hall, build a Taoist temple, and rebuild the other houses, but normally no one dared to come here, so he had to give up.
The old lady said, "Don't worry. I have lived here since I was a child. Every year, a few days after the flood, the fog on the mountain will dissipate. It will be fine if people come at that time."
Shen Yushu was a little surprised, but also very happy. He nodded and said, "Okay, my son will arrange it."
Is the fog in Wanfu Village going to dissipate?
Jian Yue was a little shocked when he heard the news.
I don't know why, but instead of thinking this was a good thing, I felt it was not good. I vaguely remembered that before going up the mountain, the young master asked him to look up information about Wanfu Village. There were some fragmentary records at that time. Some archaeological teams came to Wanfu Village for investigation and were killed in mountain torrents and some natural disasters.
He thought it was a coincidence at the time.
One was an accident, why did they all encounter flash floods?
Now that I think about it, there is indeed a connection!!!
The old lady said, "Okay, let Aunt Zhang stay here with me. I met some of the old elders in the village and want to talk to them more. You have a lot of things to do, so you and Butler Wang can go back first."
Shen Yushu was still a little worried.
Aunt Zhang said, "Young Master, just go ahead. I'm here with Madam, so nothing will happen."
Having said that, Shen Yushu couldn't force himself to stay.
Jian Yue said, "Master, let's go back first. I think the old lady has something to say to us, so it's not convenient for us to stay."
Shen Yushu nodded and agreed.
The two of them walked back, and Jian Yue said, "Master, shall we go back directly?"
Shen Yushu asked, "Do you still want to go shopping?"
"I have almost walked around here." Jian Yue said, "Young Master, you have never walked around since you came to Wanfu Village. If you want, I will accompany you to have a look around?"
Shen Yushu said: "What's so good about this place? The company still has a lot of things to do. This young master is very busy!"
Jian Yue thought so too. Although Wanfu Village was blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, some of its rare treasures and sights were indeed not something that ordinary people could appreciate.
The two people walked back.
suddenly--
Shen Yushu paused and said, "Where is that?"
Jian Yue followed the direction he pointed and replied, "It's the ancestral hall. I told you that this is where the mountain god lives."
Shen Yue’s nameplate has not been found yet.
But maybe because he is not a member of the Shen family, Shen Yushu might be able to find some clues in the ancestral hall!
The more Jian thought about it, the more he felt that the chance was great, so he took the initiative to ask, "Master, do you want to go and have a look?"
Shen Yushu looked puzzled: "What's so good about that kind of place?"
Jian Yue thought of a solution in a hurry. He said, "Because, because I heard that the ancestral hall has the genealogy of Wanfu Village. I heard that if the Shen family gets married, they have to go to the ancestral hall, so..."
Shen Yushu looked like he was saying, "You annoying little devil, there's really nothing I can do to you." He snorted and said, "Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that someone will snatch it from you?"
Jian Yue hasn't figured out how to explain it yet.
"Forget it, I'll just take you to have a look." Shen Yushu said, "I'm free anyway."
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed to death after hearing this:
"Whose company has so many things to do?"
"Didn't the young master say he was busy?"
"I'm not busy anymore."
"Hahahaha don't love me too much, Master!"
The two men walked to the front of the ancestral hall, the door was still locked. Shen Yushu was just about to say let's go back when he saw Jian Yue skillfully take out a homemade key from his pocket and open it with a click.
Jian Yue turned around and smiled, "Let's go, Master. No one can stop us from looking at the family tree!"
Shen Yushu: "..."
The door slowly opened, and rows of nameplates and tall and mighty statues of mountain gods came into view again.
The moment he saw the statue of the mountain god, Jian Yue was stunned for a moment. To be more precise, he froze in place. You know, when he and Tiantian came here a few days ago, the statue of the mountain god was at least normal. The stone statue was white all over and looked like a benevolent beast. Only in the mirror could one see its ferocious side.
But it was only a few short days.
The originally white stone statue had somehow turned into a dark red color as if it had been stained with blood. Its eyes were dark and deep, glaring angrily, and the entire body of the statue seemed ready to attack.
Eyes met.
Looking into the dark eyes of the stone statue, Jian Yue even felt a chill, as if he was being stared at and would be torn to pieces in the next second!
This stone statue is really alive!
It is growing. Maybe on the day of the mountain god festival, the hell on earth in the photo was not just Ji Feng’s threat!
Jian Yue's limbs slowly felt cold. In his mind, he saw the ferocious face of the stone statue in the bronze mirror that day when it pounced on him and bit him from a distance. His heart began to beat unconsciously. It was the fear that one gets when facing an enemy that is too powerful and transcends class.
Just thinking about it.
Suddenly, a low curse was heard nearby.
"Shit! This damn ancestral hall has successfully caught my attention. Why is the stone statue painted so ugly?" Shen Yushu cursed. He pointed and said, "Didn't my mother ask me to find someone to go up the mountain to repair the houses in the village these two days? I thought I could ask them to change the color of this stone statue. What kind of aesthetic sense does the village chief have? He painted it into this horrible look. I said it last time about the mural on the altar. His aesthetic sense is not good!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Stone statue: “…”
