Chapter 47 I swear to God
When Jian Yue finished speaking, the old lady fell into a long silence.
Her silence was deafening.
But Jian Yue looked at Shen Yushu, with a look on his face that said, "Husband, say something!"
Shen Yushu was only briefly stunned before he finally felt relieved. To be honest, at the beginning, he was really worried that Jian Yue wanted to back down, but when Jian Yue's words really came down, he was completely relieved.
Jian Yue looked at the old lady and asked, "Madam, what do you think?"
The old lady's fingers were shaking as she pointed at Jian Yue. It happened to be raining heavily outside with thunder rumbling. She said excitedly, "You! Are you trying to piss me off on purpose? I said I wanted to continue the bloodline of the Shen family. Did I mean that?"
Shen Yushu said: "Mother, Steward Wang also has good intentions."
Old lady: “…”
She should accept it then?
The old lady had lived for such a long time, she had seen all kinds of ghosts but she had never seen such a scene. She could only say that if she really wanted blood, she would have it immediately! !
"Xiaoyu!" The old lady sighed and said, "How can you be so foolish!"
Shen Yushu frowned and said nothing.
If possible, he didn't want to embarrass his mother, but if this would make Jian Yue sad, he would not back down, even though he knew that his mother would never do the same thing. If this rainstorm was bound to fall, he would stand in front of Butler Wang.
The old lady coughed heavily a few times and panted, "You...you really are, I, have violated the ancestral teachings, Xiaoyu, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Shen family!"
Aunt Zhang came over from behind and quickly supported her: "Madam..."
The old lady held Zhang Ma's hand tightly and panted, "I raised such an unfilial son. Even I am sorry to the ancestors of the Shen family. Zhang Ma, I think it is a grave sin for me to live. What do you think I should do if I am still alive? I might as well die..."
As she spoke, her body trembled, as fragile as a leaf in the wind, as if she would wither at any second.
Shen Yushu frowned, still somewhat reluctant: "Mother..."
Jian Yue was also a little surprised. No way, this was serious, really risking his life. The system told him to cure the old lady's illness, but the old lady was trying to commit suicide. He was lucky that he didn't make her angry to death. How to cure her?
Aunt Zhang comforted her, "Madam, you have to be more open-minded. After all, you are the only child left by the master. I have been guarding this house all these years, just waiting for the day when you will come back!"
The old lady said tearfully, "Mother Zhang, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I gave birth to a son like this. How can I face my ancestors? I am worse than..."
She said.
When Aunt Zhang saw her like this, her eyes on her old face were dark and deep, and she sighed in a voice as withered as a dead tree: "Madam, you can't say such things. You are not in good health now. If you get sick from anger..."
Jian Yue was listening.
Suddenly, just as Aunt Zhang finished her words, a golden light flashed across.
Then Jian Yue saw the card page.
【Eight Triggers】:
[Gossip: The latest gossip, Zhang Ma is actually the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Shen. Over the years, she has basically emptied the money in the Shen family's old house in Wanfu Village. Now she only has money left in the warehouse. She has been waiting for the old lady to die so that she can inherit the warehouse! ]
[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]
When the skill disappeared, Jian Yue looked at the words on the card and felt that he might be dreaming or hallucinating.
no……
Aunt Zhang, you?
So you have been thinking this way all along?!
Oh my god, this is true, old lady, you must take care of yourself, if you get sick from anger, there will be someone to take your place!!
The audience in the live broadcast room was even more amused when they saw this gossip:
"?"
"Hahahaha, are you in the Shen family also so happy?"
"What a rich and powerful person in the ghost circle."
"Old lady, hahaha, do you still want to die?"
Jian Yue looked at Aunt Zhang, only to find that the old lady who had been crying just now had stopped crying all of a sudden, and was even a little frozen in place.
Aunt Zhang looked at her with some doubt and asked doubtfully, "Madam?"
The old lady's eyes flickered a little: "Well...well, what's wrong?"
The relationship between the two people who had just been so affectionate as master and servant seemed to have suddenly become somewhat precarious. Most importantly, Aunt Zhang didn't seem to understand the reason.
"Madam, what happened between the young master and housekeeper Wang is indeed a bit too much." Aunt Zhang calmly fanned the flames, "Although Mr. Shen always hoped that the Shen family's incense would continue, I think all this is not your fault, right?"
If the old lady had heard this just now, she would have been even more excited.
But now, after hearing this, and thinking about how Aunt Zhang had always wanted to take over the Shen family's inheritance after she died, she really couldn't cry anymore.
then.
Under Aunt Zhang's gaze, the old lady avoided her gaze a little. She said vaguely: "Well...well...what you said does make sense."
Aunt Zhang was delighted, thinking that she was one step closer to her goal.
The old lady looked at Jian Yue. She was trying to commit suicide just now and looked like she would die in the next second. But now she calmed down again. She said vaguely, "But, then again, if you look closely, Steward Wang is actually quite good. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. It's a new era and a new society. We can't be too corrupt..."
Aunt Zhang paused, and looked at the old woman as if she had seen a living person!
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing when they saw this shocked look:
"It was a bolt from the blue for Aunt Zhang."
"The old lady has suddenly turned into a new-age trendy old lady, hahahaha!"
“This change is so sudden.”
"Butler Wang has to be you!"
Shen Yushu was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect his mother to agree so suddenly!
Although it is indeed a good thing, why does it feel so unbelievable?
Seeing that the old lady said she was sleepy after she finished speaking, and sent others away saying she wanted to rest, Shen Yushu walked outside, looked at the doctor who came in and said, "Mother is asleep again now."
The doctor asked dutifully, "What is Madam's current mental state?"
Shen Yushu wanted to say something but stopped.
The doctor's heart suddenly began to tighten. Could it be that there wasn't something wrong? Was the old lady dying?
Just thinking about it.
Then Shen Yushu slowly opened his lips and said, "When the rain stops in two days, when you give my mother a physical examination, find me a psychiatrist."
doctor:?
The audience in the live broadcast room almost laughed to death when they saw what Mr. Shen said.
The old lady’s transformation was so great that even Mr. Shen began to doubt the extent of his mother’s mental disorder.
After all this is dealt with.
Shen Yushu then took Jian Yue back.
It was raining so heavily outside that the torrential rain seemed to cover the entire village. Jian Yue accompanied Shen Yushu back to the study. They both came back holding an umbrella. Jian Yue was not very wet, but Shen Yushu was half wet.
Shen Yushu said, "I'll go wash up. Someone will bring in some ginger tea in a while. You can drink some to keep warm."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
After Shen Yushu left, Jian Yue began to check the information on the computer. He had already taken a rough picture of the pattern on the bronze ware. When he was doing forensic work before, he once encountered a dead person who died in an ancient ritual. When he died, he was in the ruins of an ancient cultural relic, and believed that it could lead to paradise after death.
When he saw the pattern, Jian Yue had the idea of looking up some ancient books.
After he stopped being a forensic pathologist, he worked as a librarian for a few years. He saw a large number of books every day. The pattern looked familiar to him and he must have seen it in a book before.
After logging onto the website where he had searched for ancient books before, Jian Yue tried to find some clues.
Someone came from behind.
Shen Yushu came out of the inner room after washing up. He glanced at Jian Yue and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jian Yue said: "I think the mountain temple in the village should have a history, so I want to check it out..."
Shen Yushu said: "You don't need to check."
Jian Yue asked in confusion: "Why?"
"There have been heavy rains in the mountains these days, and the village is not peaceful." Shen Yushu sat on the sofa not far away and said, "Mother's condition has been recurring, and it is really not the time to let her be. I plan to wait until the rain stops and deal with things here, and then take you back to City A. I have stayed here long enough this time."
Jian Yue was surprised and said, "Why is it so sudden?"
The plot of Wanfu Village has not ended yet, and he has not unlocked the secret of Wanfu Village yet, so it is absolutely impossible for him to leave. He doesn't know what the consequences will be if he leaves, but based on the inertia of the system, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Shen Yushu asked: "You don't want to?"
Jian Yue realized that he might have overreacted, so he quickly said, "No, what I mean is that I am still the Party Secretary of Wanfu Village after all. If I leave suddenly, the villagers may not be able to accept it for a while. However, the old lady's condition can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, Master, you can take the old lady back for treatment first, and I will come after I finish dealing with the affairs of Wanfu Village."
It was indeed too dangerous here. Jian Yue himself was not sure what would happen at the Mountain God Festival in a few days. If it was really the worst outcome, at least he actually hoped that Shen Yushu would not see it with his own eyes.
After finishing speaking.
But he saw Shen Yushu frowning.
Jian Yue thought that he felt that his position was of low status and it didn't matter.
Unexpectedly.
Shen Yushu said, "No! What if I leave you here alone and your old relationship with Brother Daniu rekindles?"
Jian Yue: “…”
No, he and Brother Danniu are innocent!!!
"Master." Jian Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said seriously, "Brother Daniu and Brother Daosha are doing well."
Shen Yushu snorted coldly and said, "Who knows how many big brothers there are in Wanfu Village!"
Jian Yue wanted to try to refute it, but when he thought of Li Goudan and others, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. This, this is really impossible to refute! !
"People don't like my type." Jian Yue thought about the type of person Li Goudan liked and felt that his type was definitely the opposite.
"Besides." Jian Yue looked at Shen Yushu with a smile and said, "Young Master is the only one in my heart. Apart from Young Master, I don't care about anyone else."
Please, where else in this world can he find a boss who doesn't blame him for being late or leaving early, doesn't blame him for being lazy, pays him a very high salary, and is soft-hearted and gives him a salary increase for no reason?
No!
Apart from Shen Yushu, there is no one else in this world!!
Thinking of this, Jian Yue looked at Shen Yushu with a bit of heat in his eyes. Master! Even if he becomes a ghost in the future, he will cling to him tightly!!!
Shen Yushu: "..."
What's with that fiery look from Butler Wang?
Do you just like yourself that much?
The suspicions that Shen Yushu had originally had in his heart were all dispelled by Jian Yue's gaze. In fact, he had always known that he was very suspicious.
Since he was young, his mother loved his younger brother more and later she was not by his side. He was used to being independent since he was young. Later, after he started his own business, he experienced countless ups and downs, and he developed a suspicious character. He knew that this was not good.
But he can't change it.
But he met Butler Wang, a man who would firmly choose him no matter what he suspected and at any time.
Shen Yushu snorted and said, "If you must stay here, I can let you stay for a few more days, but man, don't try to challenge my bottom line so easily!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "I know, Master. I definitely won't do that!"
Anyway, I have challenged it many times even if I am not allowed to.
The worst that can happen is that his waist will be a little tired. 6 points, he deserves it! !
…
Day 2
Jian Yue had a rare good night's sleep. It rained heavily last night and the thunder never stopped, as if unveiling the curtain of something unsettling.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
The weather is pretty good today and it’s not raining.
When Jian Yue got up, Shen Yushu was no longer around. He got up and washed himself. He was still carrying a bronze curse on his body, so he had to find a way to completely resolve the curse.
Just came out of the backyard.
Jian Yue suddenly saw Tiantian walking through the corridor with red eyes. Although it seemed that it was not unusual for Tiantian to cry often, after growing up over this period of time, Tiantian no longer cried over trivial matters.
"Tiantian." Jian Yue called her directly: "What happened?"
Tiantian was stunned at first, and her eyes became redder when she saw Jian Yue. She said with a trembling voice, "Butler Wang, someone is dead."
When these words were spoken, the sky was dark. Autumn was coming, and the cold wind blew across people's bodies, bringing a bone-chilling chill.
Jian Yue was silent for a moment before he finally opened his mouth and said, "Who died?"
"Li, Li Guang." Tiantian's eyes were red, and she said, "He is Li Meng's brother."
Jian Yue had a deep impression of Li Guang. Li Guang had a bad temper and was very protective of Wen Yu and the others.
"How did he die?" Jian Yue said, "Wasn't he fine yesterday?"
Tiantian said with red eyes: "I don't know. It rained yesterday. The rain was too heavy and no one went out. Maybe it was because of the rain that the monsters that appeared every night did not appear. In the morning, everyone got up except Li Guang. We went to look for him and found that he... He committed suicide!!"
Jian Yue frowned and asked, "Suicide?"
Tiantian nodded and said, "Yeah, but Captain Wen and the others said that this was probably done by monsters, the villagers who turned into ghosts."
Jian Yue asked: "Where is Li Guang's body now?"
Tiantian said quickly: "Li Guang has been living with Li Meng. He and my boyfriend have a good relationship. When something like this happened, Captain Wen and the others reported it to Mr. Shen. My boyfriend and his friends put him on the bed and went to the carpenter to order a coffin. Although we didn't know each other before, we had been through thick and thin together in the dungeon. We didn't want him to leave in such an ugly way."
Jian Yue said: "Take me to see it."
Tiantian was a little surprised and quickly stopped him: "Butler Wang, that corpse is very scary, you..."
"No matter how scary it is, can it be scarier than a ghost?" Jian Yue glanced at her calmly and said, "Lead the way."
The audience in the live broadcast room was a little excited:
"Sure enough, the copy is about to end. Someone died."
"This is not good. The power of the mountain god is going to increase."
"In fact, the death rate of new players in this dungeon is the lowest in all the previous Wanfu Village dungeons."
“That’s true.”
“This is the first one.”
“Is it possible that Wanfu Village now has a good party secretary who works for the people?”
Everyone was talking about it.
Perhaps it was because Jian Yue’s aura was too strong, Tiantian still did as he said unconsciously and took him over.
Passing through layers of corridors, passing Jian Yue’s own cabin, and going further inside, is the courtyard where the archaeological team usually lives.
Li Guang's room is in the corner and usually no one pays attention to it.
Open the door.
The air was a little humid after the rain. As soon as I entered, I could smell a low-pressure smell of blood and a faint smell of corpse oil lamps in the air.
Jian Yue raised his eyes and saw a person lying on the bed with his eyes closed and bloodless lips.
Tiantian stood at the door and didn't dare to go in. She could only say weakly: "I found it like this in the morning, but it was fine when I came back last night!"
Jian Yue walked closer. As a professional habit, he exchanged the white gloves in the mall and began a systematic inspection.
While watching.
Jian Yue asked: "When was the last time you saw him?"
Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "It was around 7 or 8 last night. He came back from dinner with Sister Wenyu and Brother Daosha. When they came back, Li Guang came to see my boyfriend. They agreed that if it didn't rain today, they would go to the mountain together to look for clues."
Jian Yue asked: "Are you sure that the person you saw was him, and not someone else?"
Tiantian got goosebumps after hearing what Jian Yue said, and quickly said, "It's him, there's no mistake. It rained too hard last night, and I was a little afraid of thunder, so I slept with my boyfriend. When they were talking, I went out to take a look."
Jian Yue stopped talking.
"Butler Wang, is there something wrong?" Tiantian was a little scared: "Could it be that the one who came back was not Li Guang, but a ghost?"
Jian Yue said: "It's him."
Tiantian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yue finally found the location of the wound, which was the wrist. There was an obvious bloody mark from a knife cut, and the skin was torn to the point of being exposed. It was obvious that it was cut by a sharp weapon such as a knife.
"You all say he committed suicide." Jian Yue asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Tiantian said: "Because he used his own knife, that knife was actually a prop of Li Guang's summoning card. His summoning card can summon random weapons, sometimes very powerful weapons, sometimes they are more useless. I remember when we first met, he was in danger, and the prop he summoned had no ability to protect himself. It was Sister Wen Yu who saved his life!"
Jian Yue checked other places.
Finally it was confirmed that there was only this one wound.
Tiantian saw that he remained silent, and asked fearfully: "Butler Wang, what happened? Captain Wen and the others said that Li Guang did not behave like this because his mind was affected by the mountain god."
After checking the pupils and finally the ears, Jian Yue smiled softly and said, "He did commit suicide."
Tiantian was shocked and asked, "Then, what did he go through after he came back last night?"
Jian Yue said: "Who told you that he committed suicide after he came back last night?"
Tiantian choked up. If it wasn't last night, then when was it? Could it be during the day? If it was during the day, then who was the person who came back to talk to her and her boyfriend last night?
When Jian Yue was working as a forensic doctor, he felt that the best thing was that the dead would not lie. His blood, his hair, and every inch of him would give the most honest answers.
certainly.
It is precisely because of this that he sometimes feels that there are downsides to this, because the truth is often the cruelest.
The two people were talking.
There was some noise outside, and Wen Yu's voice came from the corridor. She said, "Tiantian, what are you doing standing here?"
Tiantian said, "Captain Wen, Steward Wang is here to visit Li Guang."
Jian Yue turned around and saw Wen Yu walking in. Her face was pale and her eyes were red, and she looked like she had suffered a blow.
Wen Yu's voice was a little weak, but she acted very strong and said, "Butler Wang, I'm really sorry for you. This kind of horror copy only occasionally has such things. The number of ghosts killing people in our copy has always been very low. I thought it would be fine and everyone could get out together. I didn't expect..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and began to cry.
"These scary ghosts finally took action." Wen Yu's thin shoulders made her look as pitiful as a fragile flower branch. She said, "It's all my fault. As the captain, I failed to protect them. I didn't expect that they would take action on a rainy night. It's really hard to guard against. It's so scary..."
If it were an ordinary person, they would have come over to comfort the tearful little girl.
But Wen Yu waited for a long time but nothing happened. Instead, he heard a few chuckles, which were particularly sharp in this gloomy and depressing room.
Jian Yue said: "Captain Wen is right. Ghosts are indeed scary. But I think sometimes people are much scarier than ghosts. Don't you think so?"
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, and she asked suspiciously: "Butler Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Whatever Captain Wen thinks it means, that's what it means."
Wen Yu said excitedly: "Butler Wang! I swear to heaven, if Li Guang's death has anything to do with me, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Most people would not dare to make such a poisonous oath easily, but they might believe it after hearing it.
Jian Yue said, "Hey, Captain Wen, why are you making such an oath? It's not allowed."
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before I could recover from the shock, I heard Jian Yue smile and say, "What if there is a card that can revive? Then my oath would be in vain. If you want to send it, send it. If it is related to you, all the cards you get in the future will be on hold, and every time you cheat someone, you will be poor for ten years, your points will always be negative, and the system will never be online. How about that? This is much better. Send it."
Wen Yu: "..."
