Chapter 49: Hangover
That night, I was drunk, drunk for the first time in my life.
When I got out of bed in a daze, the nightmare after the hangover caused me to want to control my body, my brain issued instructions, but my body did not obey the command, shook my head, and I realized that I had delayed a very important thing.
Because of my drunken stay last night, I missed the bus back to Longtan Village in the morning.
"Yes, yes, I won't wait for you to come back, I'll deal with all the urgent matters immediately." Gao Qiuwu nodded while looking at his phone, frowning and not knowing who to say, "Be careful on the road, call me again if there is anything." "
"Okay, I'll drive you there, don't worry I'm not drunk driving, and I'm Gao Qiuwu 2.0 who has become better at drinking." Gao Qiuwu laughed at himself and went to drive.
But after he took two steps, I stopped him again: "Gao Qiuwu, you ......"
"What's wrong?" He asked, turning around.
I wondered if he had sent me back to my room after I got drunk last night, or if he had wiped my face with a hot towel. Although I was drunk, I could clearly feel those details, could ...... But what's the use of knowing this, nothing happened anyway. I couldn't help but laugh at my own stupidity. "It's okay, so are you, be careful on the road."
Gao Qiuwu gave me a deep look and finally left.
"Yu Honghong, perhaps, that person planned to let you come to Longtan many years ago, but he didn't expect to cause a series of incidents by mistake. Something happens that stops him, or he changes his plans, and after the car accident, you fall back into his trap. In other words, you were involved in the incident between Mu Lingbo and the Yue family, not by accident, but by necessity. All this conspiracy is actually aimed at you...... A stand-in for the 'Zhao Orphan'! "
I asked Yu Zujia to find that person in the dusty * - Mu Lingbo. The one in the photo is a vigorous woman, not very beautiful, but her eyes are full of wisdom. In the society at that time, women were virtuous if they were not talented, and such women must have a charming charm in the eyes of new-school men! Yu's father once said that Mu Lingbo's appearance is not exactly the same as that of the ancestors and women of the Mu family, but it can be regarded as the same lineage, but his personality may be more like those new women. But when I asked what kind of people the women of the Mu family were, Yu's father's face changed, and he didn't say a word. Since then, I have been troubled by this question, what is the secret of the women of the Mu family, does Father Yu really not know or is he unwilling to mention it at all?

"Suiyue, what are you thinking? Let's eat. Gao Qiuwu, who was sitting next to me, reminded me. Now is the time for the Yue family to have dinner together, and it is rare that everyone has arrived, including Yue Hongxu, who has never gone downstairs, and Yue Ningyu, who has not been here for a long time.
Before I could answer Gao Qiuwu, I was interrupted by Yue Hongxu, and a woman with a childish expression shook Gao Qiuwu's hand, pointed to a plate of green vegetables in the distance and said, "I want to eat that!" "
Gao Qiuwu was obviously a little surprised by Yue Hongxu's actions, but he still gave Yue Hongxu a clip.
Yue Lanyue, who was sitting opposite us, suddenly sneered: "I don't think you look like guardians and wards at all, but more like husbands and wives who have been married for many years!" I often coquettish with Yue Ningyu like this! "
Gao Qiuwu looked at my reaction, turned his head and said coldly: "Our relationship is closer than that of husband and wife, after all, it is a doctor-patient relationship. Husbands and wives will hate each other over money, turn against each other, and divorce, but we will not. We will always be together and support each other! "
"You!" Yue Lanyue was so blocked by him that she had nothing to say, so she had to drink the soup in the bowl stupidly.
Yue Hongxu seemed to be particularly satisfied with the word "forever", and looked at me while eating the food, as if showing off something to me. This made me sad for no reason, and my heart was quite uncomfortable. Am I jealous? Or do you not believe in the relationship between Gao Qiuwu and Yue Hongxu?
After dinner, it was completely dark. Everyone was sitting on the sofa in the living room, except for Yue Hongxu who returned to the room, and Yue Lanyue was nowhere to be found. No one said a word, and the entire Yue Mansion was lifeless. I watched Yue Ziji sitting next to me playing with a gacha doll, and the little girl pulled out its head for a while, and unscrewed its arm for a while, which made my heart tremble.
"Yue Ziji, it will hurt a lot if you gacha like this."
I said softly to the little girl.
"It will hurt, will it die?" Yue Zi asked very tenderly.
I nodded, it seems that my words have an effect, Yue Ziji no longer tosses the doll.
"Then, big sister......" Yue Ziji opened his innocent eyes and said something that surprised everyone, "If I poison it with immortal medicine, it won't hurt so much, will it?" "
I gasped, and Yue Ningyu also straightened his face, obviously wanting to teach his daughter a lesson, but at this moment, I heard a scream - Yue Lanyue's voice came from the storage room on the first floor, and then the woman's face turned pale, and her whole body trembled and ran into the hall.
"What are you doing? What the hell? Madame Yue frowned disapprovingly.
"Really, really, there really are ghosts!" Yue Lanyue grabbed Yue Ningyu's hand, very frightened, "That, there is a basement under the storage room, inside, inside, inside......"
"I know, it's just to store some of the old furnishings of the Yue family." Mrs. Yue calmly interrupted the conversation.
But when I went down, I found a dim lamp there, and a woman lying on a long table inside...... A woman in a white wedding dress with very long hair! "
"A woman in a wedding dress?"
I stood up excitedly and immediately ran in the direction of the storage room.
"Suiyue, wait a minute." Gao Qiuwu followed closely behind me.
After a while, everyone came to the basement that Yue Lanyue said. The small space is littered with broken tables and chairs, and the most striking thing is a two-meter-long dining table in the middle.
"Just now, that woman was lying on it and flipping through a book!" Yue Lanyue's voice leaked the fear of the middle-aged woman.
Gao Qiuwu walked over and touched the tabletop, and said, "The other furnishings are full of dust, but this table is very clean, it seems that there are indeed people who come here often." "
"I didn't lie to you! Is there really someone ...... No, there must be a ghost, otherwise why would it have disappeared in a while! "
I took a closer look at the basement. Is this the secret room I've been looking for? I thought it would be in the room I was in. And the woman in the wedding dress that Yue Lanyue saw just now was Mu Tongtong?
"You must be dazzled, there's no one here at all!" Mrs. Yue said indifferently, "That table is clean because I asked Aunt Hu to come in and find something a while ago, maybe it was wiped because of this." "
"I'm not dazzled, I can see it clearly! The man's face was as pale as a dead man's, and his body was as straight as a ...... Corpse! Yue Lanyue's breathing became heavier and heavier. The expression of fear is still fresh in my mind.
I looked around, not letting go of every detail, for example, next to the dining table was a dresser, and then there was a bookcase that towered to the roof, which was full of sweaty books, and my eyes fell on those books, there were subsets of scriptures and histories, and there were also books in foreign languages, probably the materials and notes left by the Yue family before, I looked through them, whether my memory had improved because of my practice, I could remember the types and names of books, and even the folds in the books at a glance. I saw a familiar name "Yellow Calendar", from ancient times to the present...... Even the best-selling work so far, I was immediately stunned. The Yue family obviously also prides itself on being a scholarly family, why does this thing appear here, and the treasure is hidden in the innermost layer?
Problematic!
Thinking of the plots in many film and television dramas, my heart was beating rapidly, and I stood on tiptoe to take the book off the shelf. When my fingertips touched the side cover, the sound of large beads and small beads falling on the jade plate sounded, and suddenly it rained outside the house, the light flickered on and off, and the darkness seemed to break through the doors and windows to press in.
The rain came both suddenly and coincidentally, I retracted my hand as if I had been electrocuted, I looked at the people around me, the Yue family was blaming each other, Gao Qiuwu held Yue Hongxu's hand, everyone didn't seem to notice anything unusual, Yue Ziji was bored and opened the drawer of the desk. This made me feel overly suspicious, so I took the "Yellow Calendar" without hesitation.
The sound of the rain suddenly became intense, and when I looked out of the room in the storeroom, I couldn't see anything, not even fog, only a bottomless, viscous darkness. For a moment, a trace of loneliness and despair arose in my heart, as if I had been completely isolated from the world.
"This ...... How can it be? "I heard Yue Lanyue's gasp.
I hugged the old yellow calendar in my arms tightly and looked at the middle-aged woman, only to see the other party anxiously open and close the drawer, rummaging through the various books and papers on the desk. Then, the middle-aged woman's gaze turned over me, landing on the bookcase behind me. The woman strode over to the bookcase, and as if looking for something, she kept pulling the book off the shelf, turning a few pages and throwing it on the floor.
I seemed to suddenly understand what this woman was looking for, and I said, "Yue Lanyue, are you looking for this book?" β
Yue Lanyue slowly turned around when she heard this, and I showed the old yellow calendar in front of the middle-aged woman with a bumpy and uneasy mood. The middle-aged woman's face changed several times, and her breathing became heavy, and I suddenly felt a wave of crazy joy mixed with fear spread throughout the woman's body.
Cold sweat was drenched down my back, and I took a step back, trembling slightly, and grabbed the book as if it were flowing with hot lava, and quickly flipped through it. But it looks like an ordinary yellow calendar. The only difference in this "Yellow Calendar" is the editor's treasure, the unique first edition of the manuscript, obviously has some commemorative significance, on which the editor should be strongly requested to write the signature "Gift to the hometown Xianyue true form", Yue true form!
"What the hell is going on? Water Moon? Gao Qiuwu asked.
A hand, a delicate and slender palm wildly snatched the yellow calendar from my hand,
"Smack"!
