Chapter 3 Unearthing a Huge IOU



A blood-red rune appeared, and Gu Yinwei pasted the rune on the statue. The severed head of the statue was very suitable for the temporary storage of ghosts.

"Someone is searching for me on the road to the underworld. Gu Jiayin is calling out to his relatives. May the ancestors of the Gu family show themselves soon."

After reciting the spell three times, the statue did not grow a head. Gu Yinwei took off the talisman and prepared to leave.

"Who the hell is calling me? I'm just having a blast playing Mahjong and winning big."

The first time Gu Yinwei called someone, she chose her grandmother, Lu, who loved her the most.

It was worth her effort to draw the Yin-summoning talisman. Gu Yinwei could draw an ordinary rune every half a month, but the Yin-summoning talisman was extremely difficult to draw. In addition, she had a conversation with the ghost, so she would definitely get a serious illness and would not be able to draw talismans in the next six months.

She immediately started to act out her acting spirit, flattering the old lady and telling her recent events without exaggeration, saying that she was sorry for the Yin-attracting talisman.

"Grandma, I'm Yinwei. My father married a stepmother and didn't want me. Granny Zhong poisoned me. The Gu family has no place for a granddaughter. I'm alone in the ancestral home, lacking food and clothing."

"Granddaughter, why don't you come down and keep your grandmother company."

"My dear granddaughter, don't talk nonsense. Go to the southwest of the ancestral house and find a red date tree. My body is buried under the tree. Tomorrow I will send a message to Gu Shenzhi in his dream. I will scold him for being an unfilial son and ask him to take you back home immediately."

"Miss, Miss, where are you?"

"Miss, are you in there? Why do I hear the old lady's voice?"

Gu Yinwei crushed the soul-calling talisman, and the ghost of Old Lady Gu dissipated.

"You heard wrong."

"But, I just saw that the mountain god statue has a human face. That face is exactly the same as the one the old lady had when she was alive."

"Yin and Yang are in order. How could you, a living person, see a dead old lady? Stop talking nonsense and go home quickly."

"Miss, why are you here at the City God Temple?"

"I was tired from walking just now, so I came in to rest for a while and accidentally fell asleep."

"Miss, did you dream? Did you dream about the old lady?"

"I guess so."

Gu Yinwei found a shovel, squatted carefully in front of the jujube tree, and shoveled the soil with great effort. Chuchu wanted to come and help.

Gu Yinwei persuaded her.

The abandoned shovel was rusty, and Gu Yinwei dug with great effort. At first, the soil was dry, with some weeds and gravel on it. Then the soil became soft, and she tried to pry it out with great effort, but found nothing.

For the sake of an illusory dream, the young lady fiddled under the tree for three consecutive days. Chuchu couldn't persuade her, and the young lady even said she wanted to take her back home.

In fact, she felt that her current life was very good. Although it was a little difficult, she was able to survive. Bian Tao was right. The current Gu family was no longer the same Gu family as before. The current Gu family was in a dangerous situation.

Xiao Fengyu and Gu Qingrong have taken over the Gu family. If the young lady goes back this time, she will be walking into a trap.

Sadness was like a dark cloud, hanging over Chuchu's head.

Chuchu was worried and had no appetite to eat.

Gu Yinwei counseled her, "Man is iron and rice is steel. If you skip a meal, you'll be hungry. Only when you're full will you have the strength to fight."

Chuchu felt that the young lady nowadays seemed very different from the young lady before. The young lady nowadays was like an orchid growing in an empty valley, making it difficult for people to see her true heart. She also had a faint air of immortality and spoke in a set way.

Chuchu held the pancake and smiled at Gu Yin, "Miss, you are so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting."

"I'm not some immortal, I'm just an ordinary person. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget fame and fortune. Where are the generals and princes now? They are just a handful of grass in the yellow earth."

Yugu Village is a quiet village with ten miles of lotus flowers, hundreds of acres of fertile fields and thousands of layers of clouds.

It had just rained and the wind in the mountains was very moist.

Although the ancestral house was dilapidated, life was still possible, but Gu Yinwei was unwilling to stay there forever.

She came here just to show off her power.

After two or three days, the soil layer of the jujube tree was dug up, revealing a cloth bag inside. When the bag was opened, it turned out to be an exquisite small box with four words written on it: Whoever opens the box will die.

Chu Chu was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Miss, why don't we bury the box back? It looks unlucky."

Gu Yinwei waved her hand. "It's okay. At worst, after opening the box, I can just write down Gu Qingrong's date of birth and throw it inside."

Gu Qingrong, who was hundreds of miles away, suddenly sneezed. Bian Tao was afraid that she was cold, so he took out a wide-sleeved shirt and put it on her.

Gu Yinwei opened the box, and there was another small box inside the box. The small box was wrapped in a layer of handkerchief, and the handkerchief was wrapped in a layer of oil paper. When the oil paper was opened, a letter was revealed.

The envelope has turned yellow, and there are two lines of words written on it. The specific date on the small words is blurred, but some information can be vaguely seen.

"On a certain day and time in a certain year, during a winter banquet, I played mahjong with Aunt Qiu in Xichai Hu. I won two taels of silver, and the interest is two cents per day. The descendants of the Gu family can present this IOU to the Qiu family to collect the one million yuan owed."

"Miss, why don't we bury it back? I always feel that this IOU is unreliable."

"It's okay, I'll keep it for now."

"Miss, I suddenly remembered that when the ancestral house was being renovated, the master also dug up this IOU. After reading it, the master was furious and said... said..."

"say what?"

"Master said that the words of gamblers cannot be trusted."

"Was the old lady a gambler when she was alive?"

"No, the old lady only loves playing mahjong."

"Walk."

"Miss, where are we going?"

"Go to Xichai Hutong to exchange for a million-dollar fortune."

The master and servant traveled with the farmers entering the city and arrived in an ox cart.

Then she searched along the streets and alleys, but couldn't find Xichai Hutong. Chuchu felt a little discouraged. "Xichai Hutong doesn't exist at all. Let's not look for it anymore."
