"You misunderstood." Xie Lanzhi smoothed Qin Shu's slightly wrinkled brows and said softly: "No matter how impatient I am, I can't bear to bully you at this time. I mean, we can try it later. After all, I am also worried that you don't have a good appetite now."

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Qin Shu's slightly pursed lips.

"Oh - men's mouths are deceitful!"

Qin Shu pulled away Xie Lanzhi's hand that was protecting her lower back and tapped the ground with her toes.

"I promise you, kneel down and try again. I always feel like I'll suffer if I don't try."

Xie Lanzhi looked at Qin Shu's serious expression and his heartbeat suddenly stopped.

He was actually just joking and wanted to tease Qin Shu.

But I didn't know that she actually took it seriously.

Qin Shu looked fierce and urged, "What are you dawdling about? Kneel down quickly!"

Xie Lanzhi had to look serious and stared at Qin Shu with burning eyes.

"Are you serious?"

Qin Shu raised her red lips and asked with raised eyebrows: "What? You can't afford to play?"

Knowing that it was a provocation, Xie Lanzhi still enjoyed it and sighed softly: "Okay, I'll satisfy you."

He lifted the hem of his dark robe with one hand, faced the Qin Family Ancestral Hall with a solemn expression, bent his knees slightly, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Something unexpected happened!

“Boom!!!”

The starry night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.

There was darkness between the sky and the earth, and a dazzling flash of lightning cut through the darkness.

“Crack! Boom—!”

Thunder exploded above Xie Lanzhi's head, and the ground was shaking slightly.

The Qin family members in the ancestral hall were attracted by the sudden movement and walked out of the hall to look up at the sudden strange sight.

"My cousin's husband is on his knees again!"

A young girl's voice rang out from the crowd.

Everyone looked at Xie Lanzhi, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, his face full of horror.

The Sixth Uncle got angry and shouted, "Why are you kneeling? Get up now!"

The ancestors of the Qin family could not bear this kneeling. Xie Lanzhi's actions clearly made the ancestors of the Qin family uneasy.

Xie Lanzhi knelt straight and upright without moving. He looked up at Qin Shu, who had a confused and puzzled look on her face.

"Ah Shu, can I get up now?"

"Wait a little longer!"

Qin Shu's voice became unstable and her expression gradually became serious.

Somehow, something was attracting her and guiding her to do all this.

Seeing Xie Lanzhi kneeling motionless, Sixth Uncle rushed towards the courtyard.

"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and get up!"

Unfortunately, he was one step too late.

A thick purple bolt of lightning came from the night sky and struck directly towards Xie Lanzhi.

Everyone stood there in a daze, before anyone could react.

“Boom! Bang!”

Two loud bangs sounded.

Xie Lanzhi was struck by thunder, his whole body was wrapped in dazzling purple lightning. The powerful electric current knocked him away and he fell heavily to the ground.

Xie Lanzhi lay on the ground with a pale face and slowly raised his head.

"puff--!"

He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fainted on the ground, unconscious.

"Xie Lanzhi!"

Qin Shu's scream woke everyone present up from their dreams.

When Qin's mother saw her daughter jogging, she shouted anxiously and worriedly, "Ah Shu, run slower! Be careful of the baby in your belly!"

The men, women, young and old of the Qin family all moved and quickly gathered towards Xie Lanzhi.

Xie Lanzhi was lying unconscious on the ground, his dark robe was tattered by the lightning, and there were several burnt and smoking spots.

Qin Shu knelt on the ground, holding Xie Lanzhi's head, and tried to feel his breath.

Still angry!

Her tense mood suddenly relaxed.

Then, Qin Shu felt Xie Lanzhi's pulse again.

This touch made her stunned, her beautiful eyes opened wide and round.

The few children in the front were whispering to each other.

"Look, my cousin's husband's white hair is gone!"

"He seems young—"

“Really?”

The adults around looked anxious and looked carefully at the unconscious Xie Lanzhi.

This is amazing!

Although Xie Lanzhi looked disheveled, his half-white hair had turned shiny black, and he looked more than ten years younger, as if he had become a completely different person.

Qin Shu withdrew her hand from her pulse and quickly wiped the corners of Xie Lanzhi's eyes.

The fine lines at the corners of my eyes miraculously disappeared, and my skin became firmer and smoother.

Not only did Xie Lanzhi look more than ten years younger, his pulse was also steady and strong. Qin Shu even lamented that she was not as healthy as him.

Qin Shu was surprised and delighted. She lowered her head and kissed Xie Lanzhi's smooth forehead hard.

"I was wondering what was wrong, and this is what happened!"

Just now, there was a force controlling her in the dark.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lanzhi's kneeling even saved the Qin family's secret longevity medicine.

Father Qin squatted in front of the two of them, pinched Xie Lanzhi's pulse, and felt the steady and strong pulse beating.

He frowned and asked worriedly, "Ah Shu, did you see anything?"

Qin Shu smiled and said, "It's okay, he just fell asleep."

The Sixth Uncle carefully looked at Xie Lanzhi's facial expression and said thoughtfully, "The Qin family's ancestors have never had such a phenomenon. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it is good! Very good!"

Qin Shu's words landed with a loud voice, and there was a sense of pride between her eyebrows.

"If the Qin family's ancestors are really spiritual, this is their recognition of Xie Lanzhi!"

Everyone in the Qin family fell silent, looking back and forth between Qin Shu and Xie Lanzhi.

The Sixth Uncle was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Such a bizarre experience is worthy of being recorded in the family tree so that future generations will know about it."

"Brother Lan! Sister-in-law! Are you okay?!"

When Amuti and Langye came back with the clothes, they saw the courtyard full of people and shouted anxiously.

Qin Shu looked at the sleeping Xie Lanzhi and raised her voice and replied, "It's okay, go and drive the car over, we should leave!"

Amuti was still worried, so he handed the car keys to Langye: "You go drive, I'll go in and take a look!"

"Okay——" Lang Ye turned around and ran.

Amuti squeezed into the crowd and saw Xie Lanzhi, whose clothes were charred and smoking, lying unconscious on the ground.

He was horrified: "What's going on? Brother Lan is injured?!"

Amuti knelt on the ground, looking at Xie Lanzhi helplessly, who seemed to be dead.

Qin Shu soothed him gently, "He's not injured. You and my brother will carry him to the bamboo house and change his clothes. When Lang Ye drives over, we will go back to the district committee's staff quarters."

Amuti still looked unconvinced, staring straight at Xie Lanzhi.

Qin Hairui heard his sister calling him, squeezed into the crowd, and patted Amuti on the shoulder.
