Chapter 13: Preventing troubles before they happen
"In addition to raising corpses, Mr. Feng Shui should also be proficient in illusions." Qin Yao said seriously: "So I'm worried that you fell into his illusions and mistakenly thought you killed him, but in fact you didn't."
"How do you know he is proficient in illusion?" Shimu asked in confusion.
"Do you still remember why Ren Tingting pushed open the door and walked out? She said it was because there were many snakes in the room. However, there was not a single snake in the room at that time, otherwise it would be impossible not to leave a fishy smell."
Simu and Uncle Jiu looked at each other, and the former said: "Senior brother, how about we go back and take a look?"
Uncle Jiu put down his tea cup, stood up and said, "Let's go. If you don't confirm it after hearing this, you won't be able to sleep peacefully that night."
"Junior brother, that's amazing!" Qiu Sheng stared at their hurriedly leaving figures with wide eyes. Qiu Sheng was really convinced and couldn't help but praise them.
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
"Of course it's your ability to talk eloquently. After you scared me like this, not only did master and uncle stop beating you, but regardless of the final result, they will praise you for your seriousness when you come back."
"It's too small, the layout is too small." Qin Yao sighed.
Qiu Sheng: "???"
"Let me ask you a question, when you encounter a life or death crisis, will you use your special skills?" Seeing that he was confused, Qin Yao could only point out.
Qiu Sheng's expression changed: "I understand, I hope he just didn't have time to use the illusion when he was killed..."
"I feel like your hope is quite slim." Qin Yao said.
Qiu Sheng: "..."
Seeing that their topic ended here, Ren Tingting took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Qin, can you accompany me for a walk?"
"No." Qin Yao decisively refused.
"If you agree, I won't pester you to change rooms."
Qin Yao frowned slightly: "It takes at most one stick of incense."
"That's enough." Ren Tingting smiled and walked out of the lobby first.
Tonight is obviously not a good weather for a date, but seeing dark clouds covering the moon and dim stars, I can barely see the road under my feet.
Ren Tingting did not go far. After leaving Yizhuang and avoiding the eyes of others, she mustered up her courage and said, "Do you look down on me?"
"It's not that I don't like him, it's that my children's relationship is not what I want." Qin Yao said.
Ren Tingting was slightly startled: "Really?"
"I can swear to you if you need me."
Ren Tingting's eyes darkened: "The love between your children is not what you want, so what do you want? Fame, wealth or gold and silver?"
"A little bigger than this."
Ren Tingting was silent for a moment and said: "If we talk about ambition and don't mention fame, I really can't think of anything else."
Qin Yao smiled: "Just for longevity!"
Ren Tingting was stunned.
This is an area she is familiar with but has never paid attention to.
"Why live forever? Is it really interesting to live for such a long time?"
"Of course it's interesting. You can't imagine how wonderful the world will be in more than a hundred years, let alone the world in a thousand or even more years." Qin Yao said.
Ren Tingting: "..."
She really couldn't imagine it, there was no relevant concept in her mind.
Qin Yao glanced at her and saw her frozen in place with a cute expression on her face, her thoughts drifting away unknowingly.
Compared with the Republic of China, he preferred the era of his previous life.
In the Republic of China, even if you could become wealthy, the lack of entertainment in the general environment could not satisfy the heart that has been bombarded by the information age.
To give the simplest example, today there are still brothels, a place where people can find pleasure and ask questions, but compared with the future custom industry, they are not on the same level at all. Although Qin Yao has never eaten pork, he has seen
Because of this, I have always had little interest in romantic places like brothels.
In addition, another purpose of longing for immortality is that he wants to verify one thing: whether he has traveled to the past or been reborn in a parallel time and space. If it is the former, then he will not be alive more than a hundred years later.
There will be a 'self' born.
If so, could he have prevented the disaster that happened to him?
Then...
A date ended badly. Ren Tingting, who returned to Yizhuang, changed rooms with Wen Cai and lived next door to Qin Yao.
Qiu Sheng rushed forward and helped Ren Tingting clean up everything. When it was his turn to help Wen Cai clean up, his spirit suddenly collapsed and he yawned continuously: "Wen Cai, it's too late, how about we clean it up tomorrow?"
Wencai made his own bed and turned around: "Junior Brother Qin Yao seems to really not like Miss Ren. Qiusheng, you are still young, so give this opportunity to Senior Brother."
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng suddenly stopped feeling sleepy: "That's no good. This is nothing else, but a major event in life. How can I let it go? At most, I'll give you a chance to compete fairly."
Wen Cai looked at Qiu Sheng's young face and felt a sense of crisis in his heart: "The so-called fair competition is unfair in itself. Since I am older than you, you let me try first. If I fail,
, how about you take action again?"
"Go to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams." Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
Early next morning.
After Renfa got out of bed, he saw Uncle Jiu practicing in the courtyard and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Jiu, are you sure?"
Uncle Jiu waved the mahogany sword sternly and replied: "Simou and I checked again last night. There seems to be nothing wrong with Mr. Feng Shui's body."
Ren Fa breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, I can go home with peace of mind."
Uncle Jiu made a sword dance and inserted the mahogany sword into the scabbard behind him: "Don't be in such a hurry, right? I suggest you stay in Yizhuang for a few more days."
Ren Fa shook his head: "It's hard to take care of business while living in Yizhuang. The current situation is already bad. If I don't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid it will collapse soon. And Tingting wants to be here."
If you stay a few more days, please Uncle Jiu take care of me..."
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Uncle Jiu could no longer persuade him, so he had to send him out of the gate of Yizhuang.
During breakfast, Qin Yao, who learned about this situation, had an unknown premonition, always feeling that something might happen to Ren Fa.
It's just that it's not convenient to say this, and it can easily cause misunderstandings.
When he was not slaying demons and ghosts, Uncle Jiu usually had a lot of leisure time. He moved a deck chair and put it in the courtyard, where he would lie down for most of the day.
Qin Yao came to the door of Ren Tingting's room, looked at the girl who was studying in the room and said: "Your father is gone, when will you leave?"
Ren Tingting was breathless for a while: "You just want me to leave?"
Qin Yao waved his hand: "Don't be angry, I have something serious to talk to you about."
Ren Tingting: "..."
This guy really devoured her to death!
"I won't go back for the time being, unless one day I completely give up on someone." Taking a deep breath, Ren Tingting looked into Qin Yao's eyes.
Qin Yao: "..."
Couldn't this woman have something else in her head besides love and love?
Didn’t you come back from studying abroad as promised? What did you learn in the overseas school?
"I came to you to say that if you go home, I will remind your father to be more vigilant during this period, and it is best to find more caretakers. If you don't go back, find someone to send the message."
Ren Tingting's heart tightened: "But what happened again?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "It's okay, just take precautions before they happen."
