After Zhou's mother came down with a towel and some clothes for Zhou Xiang to change into, Ling Ran knocked on the bathroom door and said, "Xiang Xiang, Aunt Jiang is here to get some clothes for you."
Zhou Xiang threw back the clothes he had taken from the space, opened the door a crack, and stretched out his claws.
Mother Zhou put the clothes on the paw in annoyance and said, "Hurry up, Ling Ran still needs to wash! I'll go heat up the food."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang not only took a shower, but also washed her hair, which was quite quick. She was just afraid of her mother's nagging.
Ling Ran was even faster. Zhou Xiang was still drying his hair at the bathroom door, and his father hadn't finished heating up the dish when he came out.
He just didn't have a coat on, so Zhou wanted to throw him a set of clothes while no one was paying attention.
Ling Ran saw that the color and style were similar to the ones he had taken off, so he put them on with confidence.
He rolled up the clothes he had taken off with the towel and threw them into his cabin.
Father Zhou heated up the food and told them to come over and eat.
At the dinner table, Zhou's mother stopped nagging, and Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Father Zhou was nagging Ling Ran, "Ling Ran, next time, hurry home for dinner. If she doesn't want to go back, you should drag her back. Don't always give in to her."
Ling Ran smiled so hard that his teeth were visible, "I understand, Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Xiang lowered his head to eat his meal, not looking at the person who was smiling so ungracefully.
After dinner, the two drove to the county town and went straight to the shop selling coffins on the old street.
There were several samples in the store, and Zhou Xiang chose the one with the best material.
After paying the money, Ling Ran used the excuse that he had to buy something else and couldn't find the place, so he asked the boss to take him there and left his girlfriend to help look after the store. The boss was also relieved that no one would steal the coffin.
Zhou wanted to see if there was anyone passing by the store, so he put the coffin he had bought into the space.
More than half an hour later, Ling Ran and the boss came back. Zhou wanted to tell the boss that she had asked someone to take the coffin away.
The boss nodded and said, "Just take it away." I've never seen anyone buy a coffin like this. After buying it, he didn't rush back to bury the body, but was in the mood to go shopping.
Zhou Xiang and the other person wanted to leave quickly. Ling Ran was still holding the funeral clothes that he had asked the boss to buy.
Zhou Xiang took it, reached into the bag, and the shroud was put into the coffin.
The two men returned to the town without a fight.
The door of the dilapidated house was just closed but not locked. The two men sneaked in and closed the door again.
Then the two of them smiled at each other. With such a nosy cousin, they really didn't dare to come in so boldly.
Coming to the stone house again, Zhou Xiang put out the coffin. Ling Ran put on the mask and gloves Zhou Xiang had given him and began to collect the bones.
The clothes on the bones would break at the slightest touch. Ling Ran told Zhou Xiang to stay away from them. Although these were bones, they were still male.
Zhou Xiang stood with his back to the stone house and waited.
After about half an hour, Ling Ran agreed and Zhou Xiang turned around.
The coffin lid was closed, and everything on the table was placed in the coffin as burial objects.
Zhou wanted to put the coffin next to the space barrier. Ling Ran went into the stone house again and collected the scraps of paper and clothes in a bag. He checked the stone house again, including the wooden bed. After making sure that nothing was left out, he walked out of the stone house with peace of mind.
"Let's go! Go back and take a shower."
"Um!"
This time, the rope was also taken away. Facing the dark cave entrance, Zhou Xiang asked, "What are your plans here?"
Ling Ran took off his gloves and mask. "After I take a shower, I'll go tell the mayor. Whether this area needs to be filled or not, the mayor will have to decide."
"Okay! I just thought that if it was filled up, the Wei family would disappear completely."
"These are not things we can decide. After all, there's a street above it. If we don't fill it up, I don't think we can be safe."
"But, I've never heard of anything happening before!"
Ling Ran comforted her, "Okay, go back! When you come to this world, you don't have to be remembered by others or leave anything behind. As long as you have a clear conscience and live your life to the fullest, that's enough."
After throwing the gloves and mask under the stove, Ling Ran went into the bathroom again.
Seeing the two of them taking a bath again, Zhou's mother expressed her helplessness. Her little girl now has Ling Ran to protect her, so she dares to do anything. She didn't know where she went. She came back covered in dust at noon, and now she is like this again.
Zhou Xiang took all the clothes from Ling Ran this time. She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but she put almost all the clothes she collected in the capital into the wardrobe in her bedroom.
When Ling Ran came out, she took out the clothes he had changed out of at noon and left in the cabin, scrubbed them, and threw them into the washing machine.
This washing machine is not the same one. She was not at home, and when it broke down, no one could repair it, so her mother bought a new one.
Ling Ran's smile widened. He was becoming more and more noticeable in the Zhou family.
Zhou Xiang ignored him and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Although she didn't touch the bones, she still smelled a strong smell of dust after going down.
After she came out, Ling Ran said he was going to town. Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Go quickly! Then, you should go home and visit Aunt Ling."
Ling Ran nodded, "Okay! I'll come again tomorrow."
However, before tomorrow, he came to Zhou's house again with the mayor.
Zhou Xiang was hanging out clothes to dry. When he saw the mayor coming, he quickly hung up the clothes in his hands, carried the basin into the dining room, and after a while, he carried the tea tray into the living room.
Ling Ran took it and poured a cup of tea for the mayor. The mayor took the cup and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. "Zhou Xiang, I didn't expect you to find a tunnel just by demolishing a dilapidated house. This is really incredible luck!"
"What do you mean, mayor, is this good luck or bad luck for me?"
"Of course it's good luck. Someone went down to check the tunnel. No matter what the result is, it's good luck that you discovered the legendary tunnel."
"Legend?"
The mayor nodded. "Yes, some old people have said that there is a large tunnel in the town. It is said that it was dug by the wealthy Wei family. Many old people wanted to find this tunnel and hide there, but unfortunately, none of them were as lucky as you."
Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran looked at each other without saying anything.
The mayor continued, "If this is really the Wei family's tunnel, Zhou Xiang, do you have any way to make it more useful? If it's not dangerous, it would be a waste to fill it up."
It was just two long tunnels, horizontal and vertical. How could they be used? Zhou thought about it for a long time and it seemed the only way was to explore.
"The only thing I can think of is adventure, collecting legends about the Wei family, and setting up some scary props in the tunnels based on the legends, so that those brave enough will spend money to seek excitement.
But, the entrance and exit seem to be in my shabby house! Mayor, do you want to buy the shabby house back? "
The mayor's eyes lit up when he heard about the expedition. The Wei family had many legends! But the Wei family was a kind and philanthropic family. What legends could they possibly have that would be suitable for an expedition?
Ling Ran also thought of this problem. "Mayor, just base your story on the legend of the Wei family's resistance to the war. That uncle also told the legend of the Wei family's final massacre. Just these two things are enough. Too much will make it feel deliberate."
