Chapter 1 Deep in the Qinling Mountains
Chang'an, Qinling Mountains.
As it was getting late, Su Qin drove an off-road vehicle staggeringly on the winding mountain road, and an old song that was not as good as his age was played on the speaker.
The destination of Su Qin's trip is located on the high mountains of the Qinling Mountains, where the Su family's ancestral tomb and ancestral hall are located.
There is not open to the public, and there are masters who are always in charge of guarding each other, so strangers cannot even enter the periphery.
Su Qin parked the car and walked slowly towards the mountain gate.
At the foot of the mountain, a majestic archway stands tall with four big characters written by [Su Clan Ancestral Hall]. This character is vigorous and powerful, and it is unforgettable to remember.
Under the archway, an old man with white hair and wrinkles walked towards Su Qin hunched over.
"Who dares to break into the Su Clan Ancestral Hall?"
The old man's eyes were like torches, as if he had the penetration power of insight into everything, which made him difficult to look directly at.
Facing the old man, Su Qin's face was as deep as water and did not answer.
The next second, he suddenly rushed towards the old man, jumped high when he was three steps away from the old man, and hit the old man with a smashing elbow.
The old man's expression was extremely calm and seemed to be an ordinary person.
He turned sideways and easily avoided Su Qin's heavy elbow. At the same time, he took action like lightning, grabbed Su Qin's shoulder with force, moved his feet in a vague way, and pushed Su Qin out with a tremendous effort.
It seemed that it was just a slight push, but it made Su Qin stand firm a few meters away.
Su Qin laughed instead of anger and bullied himself again.
But the old man suddenly stroked his gray beard and said, "Su Qin, if you continue to make trouble like this, my old arms and legs will be dispersed."
But Su Qin did not stop because of this and still rushed towards the old man quickly.
He stopped until he rushed to the old man and hugged the old man.
"Grandpa Han, how do you know it's me?" Su Qin smiled.
"Little bastard, the old patriarch has called me long ago. If I hadn't explained in advance, would you think you could have walked to the mountain gate smoothly? We tomb guards are not a good meal." The old man, who was called Grandpa Han by Su Qin, blew his beard hard and said angrily.
Grandpa Han and the Su family respectfully called him Mr. Han, the head of the Su family's ancestral hall, and all the tomb guards here are managed by him.
Su Qin quickly pressed Old Han’s shoulder and massaged his back, and said with a smile: “I haven’t seen you for ten years, Grandpa Han, you are still so tough.”
"Half of the soil is buried, it's worse than a year." Old Han shook his head and sighed, then looked at the top of the mountain and said, "Speak while walking."
"Su Qin, you are the eldest son and grandson of the Su family. Since you have come here, you should give your ancestors a fragrance no matter how you say it?"
Su Qin did not say anything, but just nodded silently.
Ten years ago, when Su Qin's parents passed away, his grandfather moved overseas with their brother and sister. After that, their lineage never came to the ancestral temple or worshiped his ancestors. Some people in the Su family had a lot of opinions on this.
Su Qin helped Mr. Han slowly climb the steps, chatting every sentence.
"How is your grandfather's health? Although your business has been getting bigger and bigger overseas over the years, I always feel that your grandfather is becoming more and more lonely."
When talking about grandpa, Su Qin felt a little guilty. In fact, he didn't have much time to spend with grandpa in recent years, and his sister was studying outside. The old man had no support in a foreign country. Every time he went home, he felt that grandpa was older and more lonely than before.
"Grandpa is in good health, but his leg was injured some time ago." Su Qin's face was as deep as water, but his eyes were full of murderous aura.
Old Han seemed to notice something and frowned and asked, "Is it an accident, or?"
Su Qin paused, and said casually without telling the truth: "I accidentally fell."
Mr. Han knew that Su Qin didn't tell the truth, but he didn't ask anything more.
"How long will it take to stay this time?" Old Han smiled and patted Su Qin on the shoulder.
"I won't leave when I come back. I'm going to go to college in Chang'an. No matter how good it is abroad, it's not as good as my home. This is my hometown." Su Qin looked at the Qinling Mountains and opened his arms, as if embracing the whole world.
Mr. Han was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be worried in his expression, but he still said, "You are nineteen years old, you are at the age of college. How can you feel comfortable at home abroad? It's great to go home."
“It’s great to go home.”
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they reached the top of the mountain. There was also a archway here, with four big words written by "Turn the Tide".
Looking at the archway, Su Qin fell into deep thought.
Because, this archway was erected by his grandfather.
Twenty years ago, the Su family was suffering from internal and external troubles. After grandfather took over, he controlled the whole situation with a thunderous force, making the Su family regained its glory soon. Because of this, grandfather has made many enemies and has encountered many assassinations in recent years.
This is also related to the death of Su Qin's parents ten years ago.
He returned to his senses and looked at the ancestral hall not far away, and was silent for a long time.
"Forget it, I won't worship you anymore, I'll talk about it when my grandfather comes back."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Old Han with a helpless look on his face and smiled bitterly.
Not long after Su Qin left, two burly middle-aged men appeared beside Mr. Han. Mr. Han's expression was gloomy and ordered: "No one is allowed to leak information today. Violators will deal with family laws."
The two middle-aged men nodded silently and then left, but their hearts were no longer calm.
——
It was getting late and the mountain road was not easy to walk. After Su Qin left the ancestral hall, he drove back to the city.
At the age of nineteen, he is not as mature as an age, has messy hairstyle, dark skin, and a little vicissitudes of his eyes.
The classic ac/dc songs were played loudly on the speaker, and the restless rhythm continued to release the uneasiness in Su Qin's body.
“i'monthehighwaytohell.
highwaytohell.
i'monthehighwaytohell.
don’tstopme…”
Just when Su Qin was in a high mood, a woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the road dozens of meters away, wearing white clothes, waving at him to stop the car!
This scared Su Qin very much. He immediately stepped on the brakes and his hair was standing upside down!
In the wilderness, a woman in white stopped the car, afraid she would have hit someone else!
He took a few deep breaths, started the car again, and drove forward slowly.
Under the high beam light, the woman showed a graceful figure with a concave and convex shape.
White long skirt, black sunglasses, exquisite makeup, long hair shawl.
Next to her was a red sports car with double flashes.
Su Qin knew that something abnormal would happen, and there might be murderous intent. Safety considerations about his car did not slow down. He stepped on the accelerator lightly, and Su Qin was ready to speed up and rushed over.
The woman seemed to have a firm belief in stopping the car. She covered her eyes with her hands and stood in the middle of the road like a stone figure.
"Twenty, nineteen..." Su Qin calculated the distance.
“Four, three…”
