You must not disturb others when taking photos;

"Who's over there? The museum is closed today!" Two security guards walked over.
The other staff members inside the museum who were checking for any damage to the items also looked over when they heard the noise.
Li Changzhou carefully read through the museum's regulations.
"Shh." He put his index finger to his lips. "Don't make a lot of noise."
"ah--"
The security guard let out a piercing scream, turned around and tried to run, but slipped and fell because of the slippery ground.
"What's going on?" The staff, no, not only the staff, but also some well-dressed people, gathered around.
Everyone gasped. Before them stood a humanoid figure, seemingly a remnant of history that had stepped out of a museum.
The figure in the model lake looks like an ordinary tourist, strolling and admiring the scenery inside the museum.
Some people swallowed hard, some took deep breaths, some were too scared to move, and some quietly slipped away, as if they had seen a ghost and didn't want to be disturbed.
In one photo, Li Xinghua is dressed in rags, holding a broken gun, with a wild smile on his face. He hasn't grown a beard yet; this was when he first became a bandit.
A pistol, belonging to Li Bichang, with a sign stating that Li Bichang was a sharpshooter.
A large bed with carved floral patterns, with an explanatory plaque stating that Li Xinghua married seven concubines, the youngest of whom was only sixteen years old;
Suits, cheongsams...
In the photo of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Biwei sits on a swing, looking as fresh and vibrant as a freshly picked peach. However, in the black and white photo, she looks like a funeral portrait, devoid of any beauty.
Li Changzhou walked towards the necklace.
The exhibition hall is illuminated by floodlights, and above the necklace, there are also special spotlights.
Under the light, the necklace shone brightly, so vivid that Li Changzhou seemed to hear Li Biwei's laughter again: "Second Brother, what brings you here?"
Li Changzhou stretched out his hand...
"Stop!" An elderly woman in a wheelchair was pushed over.
Li Changzhou placed his hand on the glass cabinet.
"You can't—" the old lady gasped, "you can't touch that necklace!"
Li Changzhou gave her a serious look this time.
That appearance and silhouette... Xiaoyu?
The maidservant who served Li Biwei stayed by her side after she fell into a coma.
As he looked at her, the old woman felt a long-lost sense of nostalgia welling up inside her, as if she had been watched by those eyes in a dream long ago.
She stood there, stunned for a moment.
“You, you…” The elderly Xiaoyu stared at the figure in the lake, but couldn’t remember why she felt so familiar.
Li Changzhou withdrew his gaze, exerted a little force with his hand, and the glass cover shattered, scattering diamond fragments onto the pearl necklace.
Li Changzhou picked up the necklace, and all the beads emitted a dim light.
Xiaoyu snapped out of her daze and hurriedly shouted, "Put it down quickly! It's poisonous!"
The beads dimmed again.
Li Changzhou closed his eyes as if he were dizzy and anemic.
"Second brother, second brother, second brother..." A worm lurking in his mind murmured the incantation and prophecy left by its master. It crawled out of his mind and merged into a bead like a stream of light.
"Second Brother, I like you so much." The echo reverberated through the valley, the sound traversing centuries before finally fading away.
Humans cannot change history, but history can change people. This Gu worm, Li Biwei's heart, followed him from a hundred years ago to the present day!
Li Changzhou had some sweat on his forehead.

"You, you are—" Xiaoyu stared incredulously at the unharmed figure.
She remembered the last words her mistress had once suddenly uttered—"Xiaoyu, after I die, everything else is yours, but don't touch this necklace."
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked—why?
The young lady didn't answer, but just smiled and said, "I'll use it to find my second brother."
Xiaoyu felt a chill and fear at that moment, because her mistress's second brother had already died, so how could she use a necklace to find a dead person?
The figure in the model lake turned into oil paint and disappeared with the necklace, leaving only glittering shards of glass under the searchlight.
Xiaoyu sat in her wheelchair, her lips trembling as she smiled, her wrinkled eyes filled with murky yet glistening tears.
"Miss……"
When Li Changzhou returned to Yanhe Road, there was one more person in the courtyard than when he left.
"Hiss—, um~, so spicy!" Yaochi looked pained; after eating the spicy food, her lips were as red as if she had applied lipstick.
