Yue looked at Chen Yuan steadily, until he drank the hot tea in the cup, and the violent coughing finally subsided slightly.

Hu Er had been paying attention to Hachi distractedly, recalling that when he first saw this snow-white little beast, he almost peeled it off as an ordinary beast, but Chen Yuan didn't even subconsciously dodge it, and accepted this extraordinary little beast so easily.

But this little thing was still very restless, seeing that Chen Yuan had no ill will towards it, he even climbed onto Chen Yuan's bed inch by inch, and lay on the bed in a daze, looking left and right, looking stupid and not seeing the fierceness of the bear at all, but it was completely naïve.

Chen Yuan noticed Hu Er's suspicious and wary gaze, but he took the initiative to raise his eyes and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled calmly.

"Laughing is even uglier than crying, like a living evil ghost."

Hu Er was shocked when he heard this, but when he turned his head, he saw that Yue's expression was not malicious, but revealed a peaceful warmth.

The smile on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth deepened, and he struggled to straighten up as if he wanted to touch the snow-white beast, but his big black eyes looked at the two thin hands, and then looked up at the Yue standing on the side, and scratched his ears hesitantly.

"You're already like this, are you still afraid that you can't beat those evil spirits underground? Even if there is really anything, then let the punishment go to the Emperor of the Underworld to make a big fuss, and no cow, ghost, snake and god will dare to bully you. ”

"Girl..."

Hu Er's face changed, and he didn't know why Yue suddenly said such a thing without any scruples.

Isn't this tantamount to admitting the identity of the criminal and being a very human being?

Yue said absentmindedly, while picking up Xiaoba and putting it into Chen Yuan's hand, Chen Yuan stroked Xiaoba's fur with difficulty, and his face was indifferent except for peace, but only Hu Er's heart was confused.

"I don't bother outsiders to interfere in the affairs of my own family, I have a reluctant request, if the girl is willing, please help Chen, if she is unwilling, Chen has never mentioned it, and it will never affect the agreement between you and me."

"Since it's not affected, it doesn't hurt to talk about it first."

"Chen Yuan wants to ask that one to talk to the Emperor of the Underworld, and the debt between me and Lu Chongguang will be cut off in this life, and I will wait for that bowl of Meng Po soup to be eaten, but I want to never see each other again."

Chen Yuan's tone could be described as completely careless, but Yue paused for a while before replying.

"This time, you really overestimated him, the number of grievances in the reincarnation book was set by God himself, even the Emperor of the Underworld can't change half a point."

"So ... Then I would like to ask this thief, God, what sin did I create in my previous life to make me suffer such a punishment in this life? ”

"If you really want to know..."

"How?"

"If you really want to know, I will go to the Emperor of the Underworld to take a look at it, and it will not be difficult for you. But what's the point of knowing it? The reincarnation book only records the past life and the present life, but there is no future life, because the past life and this life are a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, but even God can't make up his mind about the next life. ”

Yue pondered and hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still said the rest of the words, but Chen Yuan was unexpectedly silent when the words fell.

Yue couldn't help but peek at Chen Yuan, not sure if Chen Yuan understood what she meant, it was said that with Chen Yuan's shrewdness, he shouldn't even understand this deep meaning.

But as the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, if Chen Yuan is still obsessed and trapped in those past grievances, then no matter how she persuades, it will be useless.

"Then don't look at it."

Chen Yuan finally opened his mouth, and Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, it's not too early, it's time to get down to business, otherwise it's going to be dawn any longer."

Yue nodded approvingly, seeing that the dead knot in Chen Yuan's heart finally began to loosen, she was really relieved.

As Chen Yuan spoke, he put Xiaoba down, struggling to get up and get out of bed, but he didn't even have the strength to move his position.

Yue stretched out his hand to help him, but was blocked by Chen Yuan.

"Let him come."

Chen Yuan glanced at Hu Er, and Hu Er reacted violently, and took three steps and two steps to catch up and support Chen Yuan.

But Chen Yuan got out of bed with Hu Er's hand, but he definitely stood by the bed and had no intention of moving the place.

Chen Yuan stood on the side of the bed and looked at a corner for a long time, then suddenly sighed lightly, and raised his hand tremblingly to point to that corner.

Before Yu could react, Hachi had already poked into the dark corner at the foot of the bed before her.

I only heard a soft sound of 'click', and the wall behind the bed actually moved with the whole bed, but fortunately, Yu Yan quickly picked up the little beast on the ground, so that it was not in danger of being crushed into a pulp.

"Don't tell me that the gunpowder is hidden in this secret room on the side of your pillow."

Yue looked at the place where the wall had moved away, gradually revealing the entrance in front of him. There was no light in sight from the entrance to the black hole, but the air was filled with the smell of dust and gunpowder.

"Or else? Could it be that I'm here to tell you that I have a secret room? ”

"Even though I'm grateful that you can bring that gunpowder in first, you won't be afraid to hide it in a place like this..."

"To get the girl's gratitude is probably more valuable than the wealth I have earned in my life. It's a pity that it is useless, and I am ashamed of the gratitude I have received, and these gunpowder have been kept here since the time when the Lu Mansion was built ten years ago. ”

“。。。 You're really fateful, aren't you afraid that you will be buried in the fire when you dream back at midnight? ”

"Heh, I don't know whether to say it's fateful or God's own arrangement. Twenty years ago, my Chen family died unexpectedly, only I escaped death or was saved by the enemy, in the past ten years, I not only put the gunpowder on the couch, but even countless times I wanted to light it with my own hands and let Lu Chongguang be buried with me, but ten years, I was not killed by gunpowder, but I was going to die of illness under the old wounds twenty years ago. ”

As Lu Chongguang spoke, he commanded Hu Er to place the oil lamp candle in front of the entrance, barely illuminating the entrance of the black hole.

Yue took a few steps forward in the faint light, and finally saw the scene in the secret room, but he didn't know how to feel.

On the right side of the chamber was a wall full of wooden barrels, which were undoubtedly gunpowder.

But with so much gunpowder in it, if it had been sealed all year round, the dust of gunpowder stored in the air alone would have been enough to cause an explosion the moment the candle was lit.

Yet nothing happened.

When he looked closely, he realized that the secret room was not completely sealed, and a huge window was open on the wall opposite.

"The window?"

"Behind the window is my study, a bookshelf blocks this window, no one but me knows about the existence of this secret room, otherwise anyone would dare to live in this house. Ahem. ”

Although the existence of that window had greatly diluted the gunpowder dust wafting in the air, it was still a great harm to Chen Yuan, a patient, who coughed violently after only taking a few breaths mixed with fine dust.

“。。。 Have you ever thought that although you have hidden this gunpowder in the secret room, you have been with gunpowder day and night, and the accumulation of that powder will inevitably cause great harm to your body? ”

Yue was silent for a long time, but in the end he still said the doubts in his heart. Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, his expression flashed with countless complicated shocks, and finally fixed on his face, but he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.

"Do you want to end up with me, but I killed myself?"

“。。。 I can't be sure either, it's just ... ”

Yue hesitated to answer, too late to confirm that his gaze was suddenly attracted by another beam of light.

On the right side was a wall full of gunpowder, but on the left there was a wooden box full of glittering treasures, treasures with blood.

"These treasures ... Mo is not from the original Chen Mansion... ”

Yue looked at the bloodstained gold jewelry in surprise, but he didn't expect that Chen Yuan still had those treasures from the past.

"Yes, the blood on the top is the blood of my Chen family, and I have kept these treasures here to remind me from time to time that I must not forget my Chen's blood feud. It's a pity that in order to make a living, most of the treasures brought out have already been redeemed, and only the blood-stained ones are left. The rest is what I have filled in bit by bit over the years, just to make up for the amount I brought out from the Chen Mansion at the beginning, no more than no less, no less, originally planned to wait for me to die and bring it into the coffin to return to those underground demons, but now... ”

Chen Yuan suddenly raised his eyes to look at the gunpowder and treasure in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

Yue noticed that although his eyes were looking ahead, there was nothing in his eyes.

"The gunpowder I promised you is already here, and you can dispose of it if you want to remove it or stay here."

There seemed to be a hint of tiredness in his hoarse voice, and before Yue could reply, Chen Yuan had already signaled Hu Er to help him turn around and return to the light outside the secret room, and he didn't seem to have any nostalgia for everything behind him.

"Girl?"

Hu Er helped Chen Yuan to go back to the house and sit down temporarily, and when he turned around, he found that Yue was still in the secret room and did not come out.

Although the gunpowder had been placed here for ten years without exploding, he was a little stunned when he thought of the gunpowder on the wall, and he didn't know how Chen Yuan managed to sleep next to the gunpowder next to the wall for ten years.

"Go and get Lu Chongguang and let someone remove this gunpowder."

Yue heard Hu Er's voice and was silent for a long time before responding, his voice seemed to be mixed with a faint sigh, Hu Er subconsciously wanted to oppose after hearing Yue's words, but Yue didn't give him a chance to object, so he walked out of the secret room and waved his hand slightly to signal him not to ask more.

Hu Er couldn't figure out what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she had to temporarily suppress the doubts in her heart and turn around to find Lu Chongguang.

Chen Yuan just sat aside expressionlessly, watching Hu Er leave without any objection.

"Actually, you don't have to go so far and bother moving around, but it's only been a matter of a day or two, is it possible that you are still worried that I will transfer this gunpowder and smuggle it away?"
