Chapter 57 57. Strange Events
Mr. Qian was really generous. In addition to the calligraphy and paintings he had originally promised her, he also left her some precious furniture. For example, the small stool was definitely made of rosewood. Shi Liu took all the things without any hesitation.
When they came out, Liu Piaoxu and the other three had disappeared. Shi Liu didn't think anything of it. It would be best if she could avoid getting entangled with them.
Uncle Qian warned worriedly, "Little girl, be careful. Those three female comrades just now were all honeycomb coal."
Shi Liu asked blankly, "Honeycomb coal?"
"He's too cunning. Stay away from him, or he'll scheme against you." Uncle Qian said as he took out another piece of wood and handed it to Shi Liu.
"Agarwood!" Agarwood is the raw material for making incense. Pomegranate grinned happily.
"Put these things away. Maybe they can be sold for some money in the future." Uncle Qian was originally a big businessman in the city, but unfortunately he became a pauper after a big wave. Fortunately, his two sons were fighting on the front lines, so he could live a stable life by guarding the scrap collection station.
Shi Liu also knew about Uncle Qian's background. In fact, compared with most people of this era, Uncle Qian's life was pretty good.
Tang Tang asked worriedly, "Are those three people difficult to deal with? Will they cause you any trouble?"
She was worried that the three would go and report Shi Liu without hesitation. In her grandmother's village, an educated youth reported a villager, forcing him to stay in seclusion. However, the educated youth was able to get into the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University thanks to Dongfeng. Tang Tang was afraid her deskmate would end up in the same situation.
Pomegranate raised her head and said, "They don't dare."
Shi Liu held the banner and honorary badge sent by the police station. If she wanted to report the crime, she had to be very strong and hit the target immediately, otherwise the villagers of Shitou Village would not let them off. After all, her uncle was the team leader.
"You'd better be careful, what if they get jealous and go crazy and report it without caring about anything?"
"Is there such a thing?" This was the first time Shi Liu had heard of such a thing.
"This is what my father told me. When I first heard it, I found it hard to accept." Tang Tang sighed when talking about this.
Although Tang Tang's father usually dotes on his daughter, he believes that "it is better to raise a son like a wolf than a sheep". He is very concerned about his children's education. He will never allow his children to be naive. He will discuss current affairs with the siblings from time to time. Naturally, he will not hide such things from his children.
Tang Tang's proud expression reminded her of the old man. Even though she called him "old man" all day long without any respect, in her heart the old man was definitely the person closest to her. It was just that the old man was so unruly all day long that she couldn't feel awe towards him.
Shi Liu lowered her eyes. She missed the old man a little. She always said that she would take care of him until the end of his life, but in the end, the old man had to bury her young son. She felt really unfilial. She didn't know whether they could meet again in the future, and whether the daughter's red wine that the old man buried specially for her had been dug out.
Seeing that Shi Liu looked dazed, Tang Tang thought that he was frightened, and hurriedly comforted him: "It's not that serious, after all. Your cousin is a soldier, right? If he wants to attack you, the army will not ignore it." These days, the family of a soldier is a talisman.
Pomegranate shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Shi Liu's heart suddenly trembled, and then he thought of the blood plum silk in his sea of consciousness, and suddenly he felt a surge of security. Fortunately, there was the Yin-Yang Pavilion, otherwise he would have lived in fear all day long.
"They should be from the Bai family village next door to ours. It is said that their village used to be a family of metaphysics, and they once served as the imperial tutor of the Tianfeng Dynasty."
Tang Tang's eyes suddenly sparkled. "The Tianfeng Dynasty, the most mysterious dynasty in history, but its history is so short. Do you have any legends about the Tianfeng Dynasty?"
Shi Liu looked at Tang Tang's curious expression and found it amusing. "There's a rumor that Prince Rui, the legitimate son of the only deposed crown prince of the Tianfeng Dynasty, is buried in the mountains behind our village. Tomb robbers have come in waves, but no one has ever found the burial site. Also, the imperial preceptor from the Bai family is said to be buried in the mountains behind our village."
"What kind of Feng Shui treasure land is this? Many great figures are buried there. Shi Liu, tell me honestly, was your Shi family ever prosperous?"
“I don’t have that.”
If Tang Tang hadn't asked about it today, Shi Liu would never have thought about this. This matter is indeed quite strange.
Both Baijia Village and Sujia Village had produced remarkable figures, but Shitou Village had never produced one. If the people of Shitou Village weren't ambitious, that might be possible, but every household in their village was practically working themselves to death. Even the laziest of slackers could earn enough to eat, yet no great figures had emerged.
How strange!
Suddenly, Shi Liu thought of the Bai family formation that Master Bai had mentioned, and her heart began to pound. Could it be what she imagined? If so, then their Stone Village was truly miserable. And why did the Bai family so easily target the Shi family? There had to be a reason.
Wait, the burial site of Prince Rui is said to be on the hill behind Sujia Village, but it's actually on the hill behind Shitou Village. Could that be related to this? Are the ghosts in the Prince's tomb truly suppressed by a formation, preventing them from reincarnating? Then what has kept the suppression formation functioning for so many years?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Shi Liu felt his scalp tingling, and he always felt as if there was a hand in the dark pushing him forward.
Now Shi Liu feels a little regretful. Because of her health reasons, she did not follow the old man to learn Feng Shui formations. Otherwise, she would not be at a loss now.
Forget it, things will work out in the end, so she should stop worrying about it.
Seeing that her deskmate hadn't spoken for a long time, Tang Tang quickly changed the subject and said, "Shi Liu, do you want to come to my house for dinner? My mom's braised pork is amazing!"
"No, I have to go to the post office."
She hadn't been to the post office for a long time, and she didn't know if Mu Hongxing had left stamps for her.
