Qin Hairui tilted his head to look at Qin Shu and said speechlessly: "Didn't you say that first?"
Qin Shu smiled stiffly and said through gritted teeth: "I didn't say a word to Xie Lanzhi!"
Qin Hairui was about to say something when the voice behind him sounded again.
"Hai Rui, what did you just say? Am I sick?"
Qin Hairui turned around and saw Uncle Qin Liu, his face changed drastically: "Sixth...Sixth Uncle?!"
Uncle Qin snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Haha...you still know that I'm your uncle?"
Qin Hairui's face turned red and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
What is going on!
I complained to the person's face and was caught by him!
Qin Shu pulled Xie Lanzhi up, an awkward smile on her face.
"Sixth Uncle, you're here like this? Are you taking a walk with us?"
The Sixth Uncle looked at her meaningfully and said, "Yes, people get less sleep when they get old, so it's good to come out and stretch your muscles in the middle of the night."
"Really? Then you continue to stretch your muscles and we won't disturb you."
Qin Shu was about to leave with Xie Lanzhi when the voice of Sixth Uncle suddenly rang out.
"Ah Shu, don't delve too deeply into some things. The time is not right yet."
Qin Shu paused in her steps, her face looked extremely solemn, and there was a flicker of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"As the only heir of the Qin family, is there anything I cannot know?"
The Sixth Uncle stroked his beard and said slowly, "The time has not come yet. Go back and live your life peacefully. Don't do useless things anymore."
Qin Shu looked at his calm demeanor, her discontent evident in her heart: "Don't keep me in suspense. I just want to ask you one question: where is my grandfather's body?"
She lost her curiosity about the secret technique of immortality and Qin Baozhu's death.
She just wanted to know where the body of her grandfather, who loved her the most since she was a child, had gone.
Sixth Uncle looked at Qin Shu quietly with his wise eyes, meeting her stubborn eyes.
After a long time, he compromised and said, "Ah Shu, it's rare for you to come back, can you walk with me?"
Qin Shu's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded and said, "Okay..."
The grandparents and grandchildren walked along the overgrown mountain road towards the Qin family cemetery, whispering all the way.
Qin Hairui watched them leave and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I'm so scared. When did Sixth Uncle come?"
Xie Lanzhi's dark eyes, as calm as a cold pond, began to ripple, and he said in a very soft voice: "This is what I want to know too."
As an ordinary person, it is impossible for Sixth Uncle to walk without making any sound, and it is impossible for him to breathe without making any noise.
Xie Lanzhi thought that if someone approached, he would definitely notice it the first time.
But Sixth Uncle was so close to him that he would not have noticed his presence if he hadn't spoken.
Qin family cemetery.
Qin Shu stood on a wide stone road, looking at the magnificent cemetery shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
The cemetery was surrounded by tall green trees, with swaying shadows of the trees, as if welcoming the arrival of Qin Shu and Uncle Qin Liu.
Sixth Uncle bent down to touch a huge, old rock.
Ancient runes are carved on the boulder, and the mottled marks show the traces of time.
"Ah Shu, there are some things I didn't intend to tell you before today..."
Qin Shu had been anxious for a long time, and interrupted him hurriedly, urging: "You should speak quickly, don't say so many opening remarks, I think it's a waste of time!"
The Sixth Uncle stood up straight, smiled and shook his head: "You kid, you've been spoiled by your eldest brother, you're still so childish."
Qin Shu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her tone was fierce: "Are you going to tell me or not?!"
The Sixth Uncle's words were filled with a bit of pampering and indulgence: "Tell me, I'll tell you everything. Who made you the young ancestor of the Qin family? Come on, let me meet our ancestor first."
Qin Shu followed his pace and walked towards the tomb of the Qin family's ancestor.
Sixth Uncle: "Ah Shu, what I am going to say today, my eldest brother specifically warned me when he was alive, that I cannot tell you if you are not married and have no children."
"Why?" Qin Shu didn't expect that her grandfather was involved in this.
The sixth uncle smiled and said, "If you don't get married and have no children, you won't have any worries. If you don't have any worries, it will be difficult to die peacefully."
“……” Qin Shu’s breathing became lighter.
In her previous life, she got married, but she married a scumbag.
Although she has four children, none of them is her biological child.
Qin Shu's eyes flashed with anger, and she retorted unhappily: "Who said I don't have any concerns! My parents, my eldest brother, and you are my concerns!"
The Sixth Uncle said calmly, "They are different. The two cannot be compared. Blood ties are innate. They are relatives who care, encourage and support each other. However, your life partner will be entangled with your joys and sorrows until death."
Qin Shu was too lazy to dwell on these things. In her opinion, her parents, elder brother and Qin family members came first and were always the ones she cared about the most.
There was an inexplicable irritation in her eyes, and she quickly changed the subject: "Now that I'm married and have children, can you tell me my family's secrets?"
Seeing Qin Shu so anxious, Sixth Uncle nodded and said, "Okay, but my eldest brother has another instruction. He said that if you don't find a life partner to rely on and don't have children when I die, let me take the family inheritance secret into the coffin."
“……” Qin Shu clenched her teeth tightly.
In her previous life, her sixth uncle died ten years later without telling her the family secret.
The two of them unknowingly walked to the center of the tomb, and the tomb of the Qin family's ancestor was right in front of them.
Sixth Uncle glanced at Qin Shu, whose face was changing constantly with a thoughtful expression, and walked straight to the tombstone and gently pressed the raised part of the stone carving on the side.
With a loud bang!
The granite-decorated tomb split in the middle and quickly moved to both sides.
Qin Shu looked at the scene in front of her, her mouth slightly open, the shock in her eyes unable to be concealed.
The Sixth Uncle extended his hand to invite him: "Ah Shu, come on, come with me and take a look."
Qin Shu walked forward almost at the same time and saw a bluestone staircase leading underground under the grave.
Sixth Uncle was the first to walk into the pitch-black underground corridor. As they walked, candlelight quickly lit up on both sides.
Qin Shu stared at the candlesticks on both sides of the wall, and her inner emotions could not calm down for a long time.
It was still pitch dark when they entered the cemetery.
When I came out again, the starlight had disappeared without a trace and the sky was faintly white.
Sixth Uncle and Qin Shu walked out of the cemetery one after another.
Qin Shu was holding a square sandalwood box in her hand. It was a bit old and looked very old.
"Ah Shu, you must keep this thing well. It's something your grandfather risked his life to protect."
"I know exactly what Qin Baozhu did. She colluded with the Japanese devils just for this thing."
Qin Shu raised her head, revealing her slightly red eyes, her expression extremely solemn and dignified.
"Sixth Uncle, I will protect it on behalf of Grandpa. No one can take it away from me!"
