Shen Yuerong stood in the middle of the yard. Everything in the past seemed to be vivid in her mind. Her father was chasing her little nephew and teaching him a lesson, while her mother was sitting on the side, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and comforting him with a smile.
The mother seemed to see Shen Yuerong and waved at her with a smile.
"Rong'er, come quickly."
Shen Yuerong's eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she reached out to touch him, but everything disappeared completely like a passing cloud.
She whispered: "Mother——"
Then Shen Yuerong's mind emerged the scene of personally sending her parents into the coffin, her brother and sister-in-law covered in blood, and her little nephew's blood-stained clothes.
The nephew’s body was not even found, only a piece of blood-stained clothing was left.
The huge house was all white, and Shen Yuerong was left alone to face it.
Seeing this, Chi Mu held Shen Yuerong tightly in his arms, gently stroked her thin back, and spoke softly to comfort her.
"It will get better and better. I'm here with you."
Shen Yuerong buried her head in Chi Mu's broad arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she whimpered softly and pitifully, like a kitten.
Chi Mu felt more and more distressed and held her tightly in his arms with his cloak.
After crying bitterly, Shen Yuerong raised her head from his arms with red eyes, "I just got sand in my eyes."
Hearing Shen Yuerong's words, Chi Mu chuckled: "Yes, my Rong'er just has sand in his eyes."
The two of them cleaned the courtyard again. Shen Yuerong felt that the gourd was placed in an awkward position, so she thought about moving it inside the house.
As a result, as soon as she moved the gourd, Shen Yuerong found something wrong.
However, as soon as the gourd was moved, a subtle movement was heard in the bamboo house, as if something was slowly opening.
Shen Yuerong suddenly looked up, exchanged a quick glance with Chi Mu, and then stepped over to check.
When she pushed the door open and entered the inner room, Shen Yuerong discovered that there was a tunnel under the bed. It was dark and deep, and exuded a depressing atmosphere.
"Did you know there is a tunnel here?" Chi Mu asked.
Shen Yuerong shook her head, "I never knew."
The shadows of the bamboo trees swayed in the wind, and Shen Yuerong felt a chill on her spine, with countless possibilities surging in her mind.
She had lived here many times and had never discovered that there was a secret passage in her father's room. She realized that this secret passage was most likely prepared by her father.
At that moment, Shen Yuerong only felt that her hands and feet were trembling slightly.
If this was prepared by my father, there might be traces and things of my father left here.
For so many years, she always had some doubts in her heart.
Although there was solid evidence in all aspects of her father's death and there was nothing strange about it, she just felt that something was wrong.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
Now that this secret passage appeared before her eyes, Shen Yuerong's idea became stronger and stronger.
Chi Mu suddenly grabbed Shen Yuerong's hand and said gently, "Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Shen Yuerong swallowed her saliva, pursed her red lips for a long time before uttering a word.
"want."
Even though the secret passage before her was full of dangers, Shen Yuerong would enter without hesitation, because there was a high possibility that there were things left by her father inside.
When her father got into trouble, all his belongings were taken away by the government for investigation. She went to look for them, only to find out that they had been burned in a fire.
She wanted to pursue the matter, but Fu Hengyu advised her to be patient and keep calm for the time being, as they would have to destroy those things in the future anyway.
There was no way out. Shen Yuerong was immersed in the pain of losing her family and had no mood to think about these details, so she agreed.
I wanted to investigate further later, but I couldn't find where to start.
She swallowed and looked at Chi Mu, grabbed his arm with her backhand, and asked him word by word.
"Are you afraid?"
Chi Mu chuckled, clasped his fingers with hers, his eyes firm and full of power.
"As long as I'm with you, I have nothing to fear."
After some simple preparations, Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu stepped into the dark passage, which was cleaner and had fresher air than they had imagined.
There should be an air vent.
Faint torches lit up the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual.
The road was smooth all the way until we came to a large room that looked like a Bagua formation with eight doors around it.
After observing for a while, Chi Mu lit the oil lamp next to him, and the secret room became completely bright.
Shen Yuerong stood in the middle, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, her heart pounding.
Her father once told her about the Tai Chi Bagua diagram. Tai Chi gave birth to two opposites, two opposites gave birth to four symbols, and four symbols gave birth to Bagua.
Her father also emphasized the Xun Gua to her.
The Xun hexagram represents wind, which means humility and modesty. Wind also represents emptiness, void, and invisible. So should people be like this...
At that time, she was curious and wondered why her father, who was just a doctor, knew all these things. And it seems that doctors don’t need to understand these.
But her father just patted her head and said with a smile, "He will need it one day."
Now that I think about it, isn’t it used right now?
Shen Yuerong quickly locked onto the Xun position according to the method her father taught her, pointed at the door with a slightly choked voice, and took a long time to say a word.
"This way."
Chi Mu did not doubt Shen Yuerong's words, and solemnly took his hand and stepped into the dark door.
After walking for a long time, nothing happened. Shen Yuerong felt inexplicably at ease and was not as panicked as before.
All this proves that what my father taught was correct.
Soon they came to a place similar to a warehouse. There were many books and things on the shelves inside, and there was a faint smell of medicinal herbs in the air.
Shen Yuerong looked in the direction and saw a whole wall of medicine cabinets, which were particularly dazzling under the light of the torch.
