It's the day, the old house of the Lian family.

Tired and grinding, the two spent more than an hour eating dinner again, and finally got down to business again.

"Lian Ge, I just took three days off, and tomorrow, I may have to go back......" Gu Xiaoying snuggled in Lian Ge's arms and whispered,

"If you don't want me to go, I can call Lao Gu again and ask him to help me ......"

"No more time off. Lian Ge hugged Gu Xiaoying, smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, you can go back to school first, and when I make some preliminary arrangements for the ancestor worship, you will go back to school to find you two days later at most." ”

"Okay then...... Gu Xiaoying pouted, and then continued, "You are not allowed to lie to me, this time you evaporate from the world, and I will ...... Let you evaporate directly!"

Gu Xiaoying clenched her little fist and waved it very 'deterrently'.

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't miss the appointment. Lian Ge hugged Gu Xiaoying tightly, with a smile on his face, and promised seriously.

"Hmph......" Gu Xiaoying lay in Lian Ge's arms, hummed twice, and muttered in a low voice, "You still said that you wouldn't miss the appointment, you promised to marry me at the beginning, didn't you say it before...... Oh, men are liars. ”

Listening to Gu Xiaoying's muttering words, Lian Ge smiled and touched her hair.

I was about to say something more, when suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door of the old mansion.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

Hearing the sound of a knock on the door, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying temporarily stopped Qingqing and me, and looked towards the courtyard gate at the same time.

"Looks like we won't be able to stay alone for a while today. After saying a word to Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge stood up and went to open the courtyard door.

"Crunch ......"

The old courtyard door was opened by Lian Ge, and a middle-aged man dressed in dark clothes came into Lian Ge's eyes.

Lian Ge glanced at the visitor slightly, and stopped slightly on the strand of red cloth tied to the zipper of his clothes.

“...... Is it Master Lian?"

Before Lian Ge could speak, his face was a little pale, like a middle-aged man who hadn't rested for a long time, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"If you're looking for Lian Ge, it's me, if you're looking for my grandfather, I'm sorry, his old man has been dead for a while. Lian Ge stood at the door, and he had no intention of letting this person into the house.

"Master Lian, I'm looking for you. Confirming Lian Ge's identity, the middle-aged man said with more respect,

"Just call me Lian Ge, your surname, do you have something to do with me?" Although there were already some guesses, Lian Ge still asked out loud,

"Master Lian, I am from the backing village of the town next door, my name is Hu Xianshou, Master Lian, you can call me Lao Hu. Hu Xianshou said in a hoarse voice to Lian Ge,

"Last night, my old lady ...... went. I came here to ask Master Lian to help preside over the funeral and give the old lady a superordinate. ”

When Lian Ge heard this, he was not surprised.

Asking the gentleman to preside over the funeral is a tradition and custom in various places, and in the past, when the old man was still there, this kind of red and white ceremonies was also his main business scope.

However, Lian Ge didn't directly agree, but asked instead,

"Mr. Hu, I don't know where you know about me? Besides, I remember that there seems to be an old gentleman in Xinhu Town next door, right?"

It stands to reason that if a person dies last night, he should have come overnight last night, instead of waiting until now, and it will be the afternoon of the next day.

Hearing this, this Hu Xianshou hesitated and replied,

"Master Lian, you have great magical powers, and you have the magic power to bring the dead back to life, and the surrounding towns have spread the ......"

As he spoke, Hu Xianshou paused, then hesitated and answered Lian Ge's second question,

"The gentleman in our town...... I went to ask for it this morning, but ...... He's dead. ”

Intermittently, Hu Xianshou explained to Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge frowned slightly, and asked, "Died in your house?"

"...... right"

"How did you die?"

"Fell to death," perhaps worried that Lian Ge would not accept the matter, Hu Xianshou added a little nervously,

"The old gentleman was very old, and when he entered the door, he tripped his foot on the threshold, and fell to the ground, never to get up again. ”

"Master Lian, it's really not...... It shouldn't be my mother, she ......" hesitated, but Hu Xianshou still didn't say those two words.

Hearing this, Lian Ge's brows furrowed even more.

It's a bit weird, and it's a coincidence.

The family died, and as a result, a gentleman was invited, and the gentleman fell to his death when he entered the door, no matter how you think about this thing, it is evil.

Gu Xiaoying, who had been by Lian Ge's side all the time, also heard that something was wrong, and shook Lian Ge's arm a little nervously.

Turning his head, Lian Ge shook his head at Gu Xiaoying, and then continued to ask this Hu Xianshou:

"I take the liberty of asking, how did your mother die?"

Hearing this, Hu Xianshou first hesitated and said:

"Sick ......"

Then he retracted the sentence, took a deep breath, and replied:

"Master Lian, in fact, I don't know how my mother died. Before last night, my mom was in good health and had not been diagnosed with any serious illnesses, and even before last night, she had been square dancing with other old ladies in town. Who knows, when I got up early this morning, there would be no people. Hu Xianshou's eyes were a little red and said,

"I woke up in the morning to get ready for work, and found that my mother didn't wake up as early as usual, and the lights in the room were on, and there was no movement, so I realized that something was wrong......"

Listening to Hu Xianshou's words, Lian Ge's brows did not stretch at all, but wrinkled more and more,

"Apart from the old gentleman's business, after your mother left, did anyone else have an accident at your house?"

"No, not really. Hu Xianshou replied decisively,

"I beg Master Lian for your help, preside over my mother's funeral, if you don't want to take it, no one around here will dare to pick it up." ”

Listening to Hu Xianshou's plea, Lian Ge did not answer directly.

And at the same time, the system prompt sounded,

"Random task trigger: Surpass the Hu clan and complete the burial.

The task requires accepting Hu Xianshou's entrustment to preside over Hu's funeral and let him be buried in peace.

Task reward: a designated textbook for the primary qualification assessment.

Do you want to accept this random task?"

looked at Hu Xianshou in front of him, and listened to the random task prompt sound ringing in his ears,

Lian Ge did not answer Hu Xianshou, nor did he choose whether to accept the task in the system interface.

"Wait a minute. ”

After saying a few words, Lian Ge pulled Gu Xiaoying back to the hall.

Letting Gu Xiaoying wait in the hall, Lian Ge walked into the bedroom alone and took out the yin-yang talisman that had been placed here before from the bedroom.

Pulling out a sheet from it, Lian Ge skillfully lit it with a lighter, and at the same time shouted in a low voice:

"The edict of the one hundred and twentieth generation of the Lian family, if this trip is dangerous, please burn this talisman!"

As he spoke, Lian Ge threw the talisman directly to the ground.

The burning yin-yang talisman exploded in an instant as if it had come into contact with gunpowder at the moment it was grounded, and the flames rose half a foot high.

But then, the flame seemed to be pressed down from the air by something.

It only exploded for a moment, and as if it was suddenly stepped on by an invisible person, the flames were extinguished instantly.

Looking at the ground, next to the curled up ashes, although it was not burned, there was only a finger-wide rune paper left, Lian Ge frowned slightly,

"What does that mean?

Lian Ge picked up the remaining piece of rune paper and muttered to himself in a low voice.
