Chapter 412: Darkening
Xi Jingyue pricked up his ears to listen, but was called over by several elders at this critical moment, and missed the opportunity to learn the truth.
Perhaps he could hear the shock and panic in Du Anrao's voice, so Du Hexuan asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
“…No…I’m fine.”
Duanrao appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually screaming in his heart.
[Oh no, it seems like it’s really coming for me this time! ]
Du Hexuan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, I heard my sister drop a bombshell.
[Shit, how come this horoscope is mine? In other words, the person who exchanged horoscopes with Mr. Xi...]
I am the unlucky one? It turns out that one should not be too proud of oneself. When eating melons, one will end up eating them on one's own head. Amazing!
"What?" Du Hexuan screamed in surprise. Fortunately, they were not sitting down at the moment, otherwise they would have been unable to restrain themselves and would have stood up and slammed the table.
Du Anrao was startled and glanced at several Xi family relatives who were looking at him in dissatisfaction with his exclamation. He hurriedly tugged at his third brother's sleeve, reminding him to restrain himself. This was not his own home, and he would be beaten if he attracted too much attention.
Helplessly, Du Hexuan was completely overwhelmed by anger at this moment.
Okay, okay, is this how you play? I knew you had bad intentions, and you couldn't even rest in peace after death. Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you're dead.
If you dare to covet my sister, I will drag your corpse out and whip it even after you die. Whip it!
Du Hexuan was so angry that he didn't notice the key words mentioned by Du Anrao before. The person who exchanged the engagement letter with Xi Jingyue, who unfortunately passed away due to illness, was a girl, a deceased girl.
Li Zhaoyang was worried that Du Hexuan would be too emotional and affect the Xi family's ancestor worship, causing them all to be driven away.
He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him, whispering to him, "Calm down, if you have anything to say, wait until we get back and talk."
Du Hexuan wanted to say how could he calm down? It was not his sister who was bullied, but when he looked up, he saw his two sisters looking at him with worry, and Du Anrao's eyes were full of doubts and thoughtfulness.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and I just stayed quiet for the time being.
Du Anrao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his second brother had calmed down and the ancestor worship ceremony at the Xi family was proceeding in an orderly manner. He was finally able to carefully study this "himself" who had been caught and forced into a ghost marriage.
[Wang's daughter, born in Wangjia Village, L City, was born on October 27, Bingxu Year, and died on July 15, Renchen Year. In other words, according to the arrangement of this book, I died before I was six years old. ]
Du Hexuan and others: "!!!"
The second brother no longer cared about the marriage certificate. His precious sister died in prison at such a young age. Who did it? How dare he!
Even Du Yuxi, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, suddenly frowned, looking terribly gloomy.
Du Anrao suddenly remembered her predetermined fate in Li Qianxi's book "The True and False Thousand Gold Coins". She was left to be raised by her parents by Wang Xuehe. She was forced to work at a young age. She was often abused and insulted by the two old people. In addition, she was pointed at by the villagers because her mother was pregnant before marriage and fled everywhere, leaving their children to isolate and bully her.
In the end, she fell ill and could not get effective treatment. She passed away at a young age and was buried forever in that strange village. She never saw her real relatives until her death.
This time, not only Du Hexuan, but also Du Yuxi began to emit black energy, looking gloomy and ready to explode at any time.
Before this, she had already felt guilty about Duanrao's experiences over the past ten years, and felt that it was because of her that Duanrao had suffered so much outside.
Du Yuxi knew that Du Anrao died young in the established plot when they first met. At that time, she was shocked by the life experiences of the three people and did not think too much about it.
Later, I came to my senses and thought that these so-called plots were not impossible to change, and Duanrao had grown up and was found by them. With their protection, the tragedy in the original plot would definitely not be repeated.
But now she was told again that not only was her precious sister abused to death by Li Qianxi's family, she could not rest in peace even after death, and her horoscope was sold to another dead person for a ghost marriage.
Du Yuxi felt dizzy just thinking about it, and anger rushed to her head, making her face distorted and she almost spit fire.
Li Zhaoyang was terrified by what he saw, fearing that his sister would turn into Godzilla and shoot all the Xi family members present.
Unexpectedly, after being angry for a while, Du Yuxi slowly calmed down and came to Du Hexuan and asked a question.
"When they found An An, did my parents go to look for Li Qianxi's relatives?"
Du Hexuan knew who she wanted to ask about, and said in a deep voice: "I have looked for them, but unfortunately, the two old men died in accidents a few years ago. It was really a good thing for them."
"Oh, he's dead." Du Yuxi's tone was a little vague when she said this, with some inexplicable melancholy and loss, which made both of them feel distressed.
Just as he was about to say a few words to comfort her, he heard Du Yuxi change the subject and said excitedly, "It's okay, they are just dead, right? We can go visit them together later and loosen the soil on their graves to thank them for raising An An in the early years."
Li Zhaoyang: “???”
No, weren't you just shouting at that family to fight and kill them? Why do you suddenly want to visit their graves? You even said you wanted to loosen the soil on their graves...
Wait, isn't that the loosening of the soil I was thinking of? Are you guys planning to dig up someone's grave?
No, sister, how can you say that I have turned evil? !
Du Hexuan instantly understood what his sister meant, and his brows relaxed.
"Yuxi is smart. This is what we should do. When we go back this time, we will call our parents and eldest brother to go with us and dig up their graves... ahem, loosen up the soil for their graves."
Li Zhaoyang: "..." Did you just say what was in your heart by accident? Damn, another one went crazy!
However, he could also understand that if his two younger sisters encountered such a thing, he would definitely swing the shovel harder than anyone else!
While Du Anrao and others were unlocking the new information, Xi Jingyue and others had finally finished their prayers and were preparing to place the incense in their hands in front of their ancestors' graves.
However, something unexpected happened the next second.
Several uncles from the second and third branches took all the incense sticks used for offerings from the younger generations present, and were just about to insert them into the incense burners in front of their ancestors' tombs. However, the incense sticks, which were still fine and filled with wisps of smoke not long ago, were suddenly cut in half and fell to the ground.
"this……"
Several elders looked at each other, their faces changed drastically when they saw the remaining incense in their hands. One of them reacted quickly: "Hurry up and light some more incense."
