In order to wait for her to talk, Lin Jingan followed Xie Bowen back to Xie's house yesterday, but she didn't come back until noon. He couldn't wait any longer, so he went downstairs to do two sets of boxing after dinner. When he came back, he was told that Xie Xihe had left again.
Lin Jingan instantly: "..."
The feeling of exhaustion that I hadn't felt in more than ten years came over me again.
There is no choice but to continue staying in the Xie family.
At this time, Xie Xihe had just arrived at the Zhong family, bringing only Zhu Ming and Xuan San, who was just assigned to her by Sheng Shijing.
Zhu Ming was responsible for trivial matters and security in public, while Xuan San was responsible for secret protection, but this time he came out in public according to Xie Xihe's instructions.
When the three of them arrived at the Zhong family's house, Zhong Yuxiu was already waiting at the gate with her men, followed by two long rows of guards, which at a glance amounted to more than fifty people.
Xie Xihe was silent for a moment, and then he crossed his fingers: "Don't tell me that all of these people have to follow me to the back mountain?"
Zhong Yuxiu smiled faintly: "My dad is worried and insisted that I go with him."
Xie Xihe fell silent again: "Are you going too?"
Zhong Yuxiu blinked: "No?"
He assured her, "Don't worry, I'll just follow you and see for myself. If I can't walk any further, I'll just rest right here. I won't hold you back."
Xie Xihe was skeptical.
I didn't insist on stopping it.
In fact, she could still understand Zhong Yuxiu's feelings. This girl was a person who could not sit still, but because of her physical condition, she had to pretend to be gentle and quiet.
Now that my health has finally improved a little, I naturally want to run away as soon as I get the chance.
He even took the opportunity to go for a walk in the mountains behind his home.
The group crossed the entire Zhong family manor and went down to the back mountain through the small gate at the back of the manor.
It was not until this moment that Xie Xihe understood why the head of the Zhong family agreed to let Zhong Yuxiu come along.
I saw that a long staircase was built on the originally bumpy mountain road, extending from the back door to the end of the mountain road.
The passage is blocked on both sides with high barbed wire to prevent pedestrians from falling from the mountain road due to slipping.
There is no need to ask, just look at the traces of fresh soil on both sides of the road to know that this road was built temporarily.
Xie Xihe once again witnessed the heritage of the aristocratic families.
He is indeed very wealthy.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "This road leads to the Zhong family's ancestral tomb. Someone suggested building it at the beginning of the year, but because I was not in good health at the time, my family didn't have time to take care of such trivial matters, so it was put off."
"Yesterday, after you mentioned that you wanted to go to the back mountain, I mentioned it to my dad, and he found someone to build a road on the spur of the moment."
"The materials and labor were all prepared early on, so it didn't take much effort."
Xie Xihe had nothing to say: "Let's go."
As he said this, he took the lead and walked up the mountain path.
Without having to climb the mountain, the journey was much faster. In just over half an hour, the group arrived at the location of the Zhong family's ancestral tomb.
After Xie Xihe glanced around, he stopped where he was and took off the shoulder bag he had been carrying.
Just pour it out and everything inside will come out.
Ping-pong, ding-ling-dang.
After a burst of chaotic noise, various small tools were scattered all over the floor.
Compass, cinnabar, talismans, tortoise shells, copper coins... Oh, there was also a banner with "Xie Banxian" written on it, which was made into a small flag with a small wooden stick inserted, and it was particularly conspicuous among the crowd of items.
Not to mention Zhong Yuxiu and the Zhong family guards, even Zhu Ming and Xuan San, who had been following Xie Xihe recently, fell into a mysterious silence.
Ms. Xie (Sister Xihe), are you sure you are not joking?
Xie Xihe is quite serious.
First, he casually stuck the small flag with the name of Xie Banxian aside, then he grabbed a compass from a pile of things and held it in one hand, and then he used his free hand to pinch it casually.
Although the ability to tell fortunes is innate, this is my first time to actually tell fortunes. I am not very skilled in the business, and my fortune telling does not look very good.
It's only his good looks and temperament that are holding him up. If someone else acted like this, anyone would think he was a severely mentally ill patient who escaped from a mental hospital.
Everyone's face was filled with black lines
Xie Xihe was quite calm. He didn't take those strange looks to heart at all and continued to pinch himself.
She moved quickly, in just a minute, and then she stopped and looked down at the compass.
In a place that no one can see, the Kan position of the compass is filled with a dark evil spirit, so thick that it seems tangible.
As if it had noticed Xie Xihe's gaze, the murderous spirit suddenly surged violently, trying to approach Xie Xihe, but in the next moment it was suddenly shocked and retreated to its original position as if escaping.
Xie Xihe's eyes were calm as he pointed in one direction and asked, "Whose grave is that?"
Zhong Yuxiu looked in the direction she was going. When she saw the direction clearly, her pupils trembled uncontrollably. She said, "It's the cemetery of the main family."
She pursed her lips and continued, "The graves of my direct grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and heavenly grandfather...are all in that area."
She looked at Xie Xihe, feeling uneasy: "Is there a problem?"
Xie Xihe's gaze fell on her brows, and he saw that the evil spirit behind the golden light of merit surged even more violently.
I couldn't help but frown and said, "Stay away."
Zhong Yuxiu didn't ask anything and took a few steps back as she was told, until she was in the middle of the Zhong family guards.
Xie Xihe paused, and finally took out a few pieces of yellow paper with talismans from the pile on the ground, drew a few lines on them, and handed them to the guards at the front: "Take them just in case."
The guards took it hesitantly.
Things involving metaphysics are difficult to explain, so Xie Xihe didn't say much. After greeting Zhong Yuxiu, he walked in the direction he had pointed.
Zhong Yuxiu watched her back as she walked away, her heart beating faster for no reason. A mysterious feeling surged in her heart, making her involuntarily hold tightly the talisman that Xie Xihe had given her.
Xie Xihe finally walked to the front of Zhong Yuxiu's grandfather's grave, bowed, and then squatted down beside the tombstone.
It was quite far away and blocked by other tombs, so people couldn't see what she was doing, but they could vaguely hear the knocking sound of "dong dong dong".
The housekeeper who had come with them couldn't sit still any longer and turned to look at Zhong Yuxiu: "This... Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate... That's the old master's grave..."
Zhong Yuxiu's lips formed a straight line. After a moment of silence, she said, "Uncle Zhong, do you still remember the dream I had when I was five years old?"
It had been a while since it happened. Butler Zhong pondered for a long time before he remembered. His pupils trembled slightly: "You mean..."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "I've always had a vague feeling something was wrong, but my father asked someone to look at it, but they couldn't find the root cause."
She stared at Xie Xihe's direction, her face unusually solemn. "Let's wait and see what happens."
Butler Zhong immediately stopped talking.
