Chapter 169 He who refuses a toast will have to drink a forfeit (2/2)



He said with a serious expression, "If he says anything bad to you later, especially anything supernatural or bizarre, don't believe him. He's extremely unreliable!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang asked, "???"

His face showed even more confusion.

"Didn't you say he was the head of the Special Abilities Bureau?"

She muttered, "You're the one who praised him so highly, but how come you're also the one who said he's unreliable?"

Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.

My face hurt a little from slapping myself.

He twitched his lips and said, "I just hit him again, am I feeling guilty?"

Yu Mingxiang: ...

He glanced at Old Yuan, who was lying next to him, fast asleep.

I understand.

He is indeed Bai Qi reincarnated.

"Then you can stay weak for now."

She said, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

The sound falls.

Yu Mingxiang turned and walked towards the door.

Gu Guanhai: ...

Looking at her retreating figure, I belatedly realized what was happening.

"No, what do you mean I should pretend to be weak first?"

He shouted at Yu Mingxiang's retreating figure, "I may feel guilty, but I'm not! I'm not guilty at all!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang, who had reached the door, turned around.

Whether you're weak or not, others may not know, but do you think I don't know?

She smiled sweetly at him and said, "I'm a doctor. If I say you're weak, then you're weak!"

Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"

His handsome face instantly contorted.

"You...I..."

He was speechless.

Yu Mingxiang: ...

She gave him a smile.

They strode away.

When the suona horn sounds, it's either an ascension to heaven or a wedding ceremony.

The sound of suona horns drifted from the village streets.

It was the sound of Li Guihua's funeral procession.

Given the Zhao family's situation, the villagers helped with Li Guihua's funeral arrangements.

What posthumous honors, three days of mourning, and so on...

It doesn't exist at all!

Yesterday the person breathed their last, today we dig a hole to bury them.

According to the rules of Hedao Village, people who die in the village must be buried on the mountain.

In the late afternoon, Yu Mingxiang and the others heard Zhao Tiezhu's family wailing loudly in the distance, realizing that the funeral procession was about to go up the mountain.

Daylily: "!!!"

Almost the instant she heard the crying, she stood up.

Yu Mingxiang was taken aback when she saw this.

"Daylily?"

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to see her off? If you want, your brother and I will go with you."

After eighteen years of living and working together, if my daughter can't let go, she wants to go and see Li Guihua and Yu Mingxiang off...

That's understandable, actually.

Upon hearing this, Xuancao frowned slightly.

Who wants to give it to her?

As she spoke, she ran towards the kitchen, saying, "The funeral procession is going to pass by our house. According to the local custom, it might cause trouble if the dead pass in front of the house..."

As they were talking.

Xuancao scooped out a handful of soot from the bottom of a pot and scattered it at the doorway.

Yu Mingxiang and the others: "???"

They stared blankly at her movements, completely bewildered.

After putting down the iron shovel, Xuancao turned around and met the gazes of the group. She stammered, "Don't you know? The soot from the bottom of a pot can ward off evil spirits."

Yu Mingxiang and the others shook their heads in unison.

"have no idea."

"This is the first time I've heard of it."

"..."

Daylily: "..."

She pursed her lips.

this.

She admitted to being a little superstitious, but...

That's the rule passed down from the older generation in the village, and she's just following the rules. But will her mother and brothers look down on her country bumpkin ways?

Xuancao lowered her eyes, awkwardly fiddling with her fingers.

Yu Mingxiang: ...

Realizing what was happening, she keenly noticed her daughter's unease and quickly said, "Xuancao, you know so much! We were so ignorant back in Beijing, we didn't know so much about these things."

As she spoke, she moved closer to her daughter, pulled her close, and said earnestly, "Do you have any other sayings here? Please tell us so we can learn something new!"
