After lunch, I helped Yuan Xue open the lotus canopy, took out the lotus seeds, and used a knife to pry open the lotus seed heart in the lotus seed, and used a small box of jewelry for me to let her carry the lotus seeds back.

When sending Yuan Xue out, I also said: "If there is anything inconvenient about living outside, you can say it." We're friends. ”

"yes, okay."

"Then if it's okay tomorrow, I'll go to your rented house and play with you. You know, how depressed my wife is. ”

Yuan Xue hesitated when she heard my proposal, but nodded and agreed. I certainly understand why he hesitated. She told everyone that she had been scratched by a feral cat, and that the cat was still in her rented place.

As soon as I sent Yuan Xue out of the gate of the big courtyard, as soon as I turned around, I saw the young chef. He was wearing a shirt and slacks, car keys in his hand, and was about to go out.

Seeing me, he smiled and said, "Hello ma'am, I'm the new chef." In the future, I will try to make dishes that are suitable for my wife and children. ”

I was happy that such a young man had come to the big courtyard, but my first sentence made me immediately unhappy. I lowered my face: "Who told you I had children?" ”

"Uncle Wu, I was specially hired by him to cook for you. Of course, I also made the table dishes at the wedding banquet. ”

I snorted, turned around and walked towards the big courtyard. Let the cook stand in the doorway rather depressed. The security guard at the door looked at me and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Madam, is that counselor okay?" ”

I guess they saw me kicking me into the water on the screen. I smiled and said, "It's fine." After taking two steps, I stopped again and said, "Go to the lake and set up a sign to prevent people from entering the courtyard." ”

"Huh? That ......"

"If you don't let people in, you don't let people in. Isn't it just a yard? Isn't that yard just a few trees, a lake, and a few flowers? I interrupted him. After Bao Ye goes into the water, there will be such a reaction, and it can be seen that there is an abnormality underwater. Until you figure it out, don't let people into the yard yet.

On my way back to the yard, I called Ren Qiancang and asked him to come back at dinner time, and there was something at home. At dinner like this, I called Bao Ye over to eat with us. Everyone in the family knows that Bao Ye has a good relationship with us, and he is a friend, so no one will suspect him if he is called over for dinner.

There are five dishes on the living room. The aunt who came over with the food also brought the tea, and said that her grandson was hospitalized with a fever and would go back early in the evening.

I said, "Okay, Auntie, you can go back now." Anyway, I don't have a habit of eating supper. I'll put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen in a while. ”

"Hey, thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." The aunt left, and I pointed to the spirit pet cat squatting next to Ren Qiancang and said, "Go and guard the door." When someone comes, they call 'Wangwang'. ”

The red eyes of the pet cat glanced at me, but they still didn't move. Ren Qiancang waved at it, and it rushed out, and my little black cat cub also went out.

I said dissatisfiedly, "Why doesn't this cat have any spirituality?" I'm its owner, too. I'm still the master of its owner. ”

Ren Qiancang smiled: "Okay, I'll let it listen to you in the future." What the hell is going on today? He looked at Bao Ye. Bao Ye, who could say the most in the past, is now sitting on a stool next to him, motionless. People who love to eat so much, but they don't even hold chopsticks.

I told me about it, and then I looked at Bao Ye, waiting for him to talk about the underwater thing. But he did not speak for a long time.

"Hey," I asked, "what the hell do you see?" ”

Bao Ye slowly raised his head and looked at the two of us, and said after a while, "The underwater layout is over." The round lake, the bottom of the lake is a taiji, one side is high, the other side is low. The high side is planted with lotus roots, and the low side is deep and there are no plants. As the two eyes of Tai Chi, jade should be used. It's the kind of jade that is the size of a palm. In the water, I can't see what it looks like, I can only roughly feel it. ”

Ren Qiancang said: "You mean, that water has something to do with the array at home. ”

"Well, it's yin on the other side of the well, and it's extremely yin. The whole large courtyard is cloudy. Although Tai Chi is yin and yang, it uses jade, and I think it is yang. The only bit of yang energy in the house is covered with a pool of lake water. He looked at the two of us, "Do you know why?" ”

I was able to listen to the truth, and he asked this question, and I immediately said, "How do we two understand this?" Let's talk about it. ”

"When Wu Guang's master was designing this big courtyard, he thought about it, and the things under this courtyard might rebel one day and something would happen. So he left a way out, which is this Tai Chi. If the big courtyard really can't hold this secret, Wu Guang won't tell us the secret, he will let the secret be buried under this big courtyard forever. Usually it's all the jade burned. I think when the lake dries up, the big yard will fall into ruins. ”

Ren Qiancang said slowly: "That is to say, Wu Guang and my father, even if they are both dead, he will not tell me the secret because there is no successor to the Ren family." They will disappear under the ruins of this great courtyard with the secret. Ruthless! ”

I asked, "Then how do you know that the secret below has rebelled and something has happened?" ”

When my question came out, Bao Ye looked at me for a while before saying, "I don't know." Dine! ”

He should have been holding these words in his heart for a whole afternoon, and with his character, he wished to say them to the people of the whole world. But I can't say that. Now I'm going to say all the words that I'm holding back in my heart. He felt better, and he had the strength to eat.

So he picked up the chopsticks and took a big bite directly towards the beef, stuffed his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's delicious." Eating with Mr. and Mrs. is a blessing. Do you know what the food for the security guards is? The meal was the same as the food in the school cafeteria. It's not as delicious as the one in our school. ”

Watching him munch on something made me really depressed. That's not what he was like just now.

I also started to eat, Ren Qiancang's brows were still furrowed. Now it is to force the old man and Wu Guang to death, and they may not necessarily tell the secret, a possibility we thought about before, that is, the old man is gone, in order to continue to keep this secret, Wu Guang will tell the secret to the new head of the Ren family, that is, Ren Qiancang.

But now it seems that this path is not going to work.

The house rented by Yuan Xue is the house of a master's son on the other side of the Tibetan Museum. It's not very far from the museum. I first went to the Tibetan Museum to find Yuan Xue, and saw that she was flipping through the materials in the Tibetan Museum with one hand. As a newcomer in the museum, she is now just reading materials and understanding the museum. There are no specific work tasks.

I cheekily took advantage of my identity as Mrs. Ren to ask Yuan Xue's leader for leave, saying that Yuan Xue's hands were inconvenient or something, so I asked Yuan Xue for leave in the afternoon.

After lunch at the Tibetan Museum, we went to where Yuan Xue lived. It's not a big neighborhood, just a few buildings. But the houses are all new, some of them have not been renovated, and some of them have not been sold at all.

followed Yuan Xue to the elevator and came to the house. 3 bedrooms, but one door is locked. Yuan Xue said: "That's the master bedroom of Old Man Qiao's son, which has been locked. "Many of the people who do antiques are old men, like Yuan Xue Baoye, who is still in school, and they come out to look at the materials and sweep the floor. Waiting to be able to really take charge on his own, it will be at least after the age of thirty or forty.

"I'll take a look, it's a nice house." I smiled, it was simply a visit to find the pet cat. There was no living room, no kitchen, no dining room, no balcony, neither did the two rooms with the doors open. I wondered if the cat had scratched her hand and she threw it out in a fit of rage. That's hard to find.

But this is unlikely, because she has come all the way back to China, and finally has some clues, how can she just give up?

Yuan Xue walked up to me and said, "This house is not bad." I live alone, and it's pretty big. The monthly rent is because I am a master in the museum, and people have also taken care of me. ”

I laughed dryly, and couldn't be so obvious as I went to ask her about the cat.

I was at a loss when I heard a "meow" from under the bed in my room. Yuan Xue was just about to speak, but I had already crawled to the ground and lifted her sheets. It was pitch black under the bed, but the sound of metal could be heard. "Cats in there? The cat that scratched your hand? ”

Yuan Xue nodded: "It's very dangerous, don't look at it." ”

"It's dangerous, so you still keep it under the bed. Don't worry, I also have a cat, I can deal with it. With that, I fell to the ground. Yuan Xue had a surprised expression behind me. She would never have imagined that I would insist on getting the cat out. And I'm going out today, I'm wearing a lace dress, layered, and thin heels, and my hair is scattered, and I use a bow of the same color as the skirt to simply clip it as a decoration.

I dragged the cage out and looked at the black cat in the cage. The black cat was already embarrassed, staring at me with blood-red eyes. It seems to be a little different from Ren Qiancang's spirit pet cat. For example, Ren Qiancang's cat can get into Ren Qiancang's body, but it can't even get out of the cage. It should be considered a zombie spirit pet cat. It's physical, it's just that it's a zombie.

And Ren Qiancang's cat died before, and it belongs to the soul or something.

Actually, I don't know much about this, it's just my personal guess. The cat didn't bark and just looked at me. It couldn't see any emotion in its eyes.

I said, "This cat hurts you, so I'll take it away." In case, it will hurt you if it comes out of the cage at night. ”

Yuan Xue didn't speak, just looked at me, and I asked, "Well, you still want it?" ”
