I silently followed behind the king, without saying a word.

After returning to the courtyard, we were not in a very good mood, so we tacitly went back to our respective houses. When I got back to the house, I looked up at my watch—it was past eleven o'clock in the evening.

I picked up the luggage around me, lying on the kang tiredly, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep - this old house was full of brick kang, I was a little uncomfortable, and my mind was still thinking about everything that happened here: Wang Shaohong's conspiracy, the inner courtyard of the family, the mysterious ancestral hall, and the strange Japanese woman, and Xiao Ruyue, who defected...... Where does everything lead, and how many thorns are there on the road ahead?...... Thinking of this, I sighed: forget it, everything is left to fate.

I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep in a daze......

In a dream.

"I" kept running forward.

It seems to be a corridor, paved with blue bricks on the top, bottom, left and right - but unlike ordinary corridors, the walls on both sides of this corridor are like honeycomb coal, and they are covered with dense square holes, each about half a meter wide, and the holes seem to contain something, but I can't really see it.

"I" was running in a hurry, and I could feel the nervousness of the "me" in the dream - "I" was on the run!

I tried to look back and see what was chasing "me" behind me - but my body could only move with the "me" in my dream, so I tried for a long time to no avail, only to hear "me" heavy gasps and see the endless darkness in front of me......

Suddenly, a sound sounded in my ears like a sharp weapon piercing my body--"Poof-"

"Ahh......h

The dream came to an abrupt end again.

I snapped my eyes open and saw that the genius outside was just shining. I rubbed my eyes with big dark circles, let out a cloudy breath, and looked up at the gray clouds outside the window. I secretly bitter in my heart: it seems that I can only sleep here today, alas, I don't know if I will stay bald if I continue like this. Think about it. I also made up my mind about the appearance of my central support place...... Hehehe, it's really handsome.

I sat up vigilantly wrapped in the quilt, and habitually looked around the room to see if there was anyone in the room—a damn habit thanks to Bing Cube Ling. Luckily, he didn't show up in my house this time. Now I finally put my mind at ease, stretched my waist, and I got off the kang to go to the courtyard to wash my face--but when I opened the door, I found Bing Ling sitting motionless on the steps in front of my door, and as soon as I opened the door, the guy raised his head like clockwork, and looked at me with his deep eyes, and I was taken aback by him again.

"Holy! what are you doing crouching in my doorway?" I almost fell into, staring at the ice lump.

"Did you dream of anything?" the guy spoke so concisely and neatly, straight to the point.

I'm used to this guy too. I just rolled my eyes helplessly, and told him the dream I had last night. After listening to me, this guy's eyes condensed slightly, and then he stood up and said lightly: "Got it." Then he turned and left, and returned to the east wing. Looking at the back of this guy, I could only shake my head helplessly: Who made the family like this.

I sighed, stopped standing stupidly, looked at the closed door of the east wing again, and went to the courtyard to wash my face and brush my teeth with my toiletries.

Wash up. I went back to the room and stayed bored, watching the sky outside gradually become clearer, I sighed: I am about to leave today! Just as I was wandering in my heart, the door opposite me opened again, and the boy of the king came out of the room.

I saw this kid show his face. I quickly got up and walked into the yard and whispered to him, "Hey, what are you doing?"

The kid looked at me, crept over, looked around very vigilantly, and leaned in my ear and said, "My dad sent me something here, mine will go out and pick it up." You're watching here, and if there's anything out of the ordinary, notify me immediately. With that, he pointed to the phone and signaled that I was going out now.

As soon as I heard Wang Quan's words, I immediately understood what was going on, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then you go quickly, I'll show you here, come back quickly." ”

Wang Quan nodded, looked left and right again, and went straight out of the courtyard.

Fearing suspicion, I hurried back into the house, moved a stool and sat down in front of the window, scanning my eyes from side to side like searchlights, observing the movement in the courtyard. But fortunately, it was only four o'clock in the morning, and everyone didn't get up, so there were no accidents.

After a while, Wang Quan cautiously came in from outside the courtyard, with a bulging backpack behind him—I watched him walk into the courtyard, quickly bounced off the stool, opened the door and walked out, gesturing at him with his hand, indicating that he was not in any abnormal condition. He looked at me and nodded, and then slipped back into the house.

Seeing this kid return safely and bringing back a lot of things, I finally have a little bit of confidence in this operation.

Then there was another boring wait. By six o'clock, the people in the yard had all gotten up one after another. The three of us had an awkward breakfast at Uncle Shao Hong's house, because of last night's incident, Wang Quan and I are now a little unable to face Uncle Shao Hong like before, and Bing Cube Ling is still that lukewarm. Therefore, after the meal, we did not stay in the main hall with Uncle Shao Hong, but found an excuse to sit in the courtyard and wait for the arrival of others.

The sun has gradually risen, and the sky is like a brocade, and at this time, there are already many more people in the courtyard of Uncle Shao Hong's house one after another. After a night, Wang Quan returned to his previous heartless appearance, and talked nonsense with my hippie smile, but my heart is still a little distressed by this good buddy who has carried many, many people.

Seeing that the people were almost there, and all three of us walked to the courtyard and stood up, I scanned the circle with my eyes, and a large number of unfamiliar faces met my eyes--when I saw Xiao Ruyue and the Japanese woman, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. At this moment, the flower-armed man standing beside Xiao Ruyue looked at me suddenly, and his eyes like a vicious wolf were full of unkindness and banter—when he saw it, I was so frightened that I quickly turned my eyes away, and immediately saw Mu Xuanqing's guy smiling at us, still with a harmless face. Looking at him, I also felt an extra layer of security in my heart, and quickly returned him with a smile.

At this moment, Uncle Shao Hong also walked out of the main hall, he looked at us who were ready to go in the hall, a smile of relief appeared on his face, he stood on the steps, cleared his throat, and said to us: "Brothers and sisters of the Wang family, as well as the most distinguished guests of our Wang family, first of all, I am here on behalf of our Wang clan, wishing the throne a smooth trip and a triumphant return," Speaking of this, Uncle Shao Hong's face gradually became serious, bent down, and bowed to us- When we saw him perform this great gift, we hurriedly returned the salute.

After some politeness, Uncle Shao Hong's face showed a satisfied smile: "Everyone standing in the courtyard now is the hero of my Wang family, but as the current patriarch, I am not able to lead everyone to break through this ghost gate because of my advanced age, I feel very sorry for this." Uncle Shao Hong said, with a look of deep self-reproach on his face, and I scolded in my heart: This is really a fucking old man, and his acting skills are really not covered, if it weren't for listening to Wang Shijiu yesterday and saying that he was wishful thinking in his heart, I was really moved by him at this moment!

Just when I was scolding in my heart, Uncle Shao Hong spoke again: "Therefore, I have decided to resign from the position of patriarch and choose one person among the best juniors of the Wang family in this trip to take the position of the patriarch of our Wang clan——"

After listening to him, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became a little commotion, and the people below began to whisper. Looking at this situation, my heart tightened: it is time to come or come, and finally start electing the patriarch...... (To be continued.) )
