Chapter 10: Blood Pact

"Will you sign a blood pact with me?"

"That was the first thing she said to me."

After obtaining Su Jianxia's consent, Hu Shouyu lit a cigarette.

She came out of the statue and stood in front of me looking at me, and I was very scared, although there have been many strange things in the tomb over the years, but in fact, we have never believed in any gods or ghosts or anything like that.

So when she stood in front of me, I thought I was going to die, and I didn't even dare to resist.

I didn't know what a blood pact was, and of course I didn't dare to answer casually, and I called my friends in the tomb, but no one answered me, as if I was the only one left in the tomb.

'Will you sign a blood pact with me?' ’

She seemed to see that I didn't answer her, so she asked me again.

I knew that if I didn't answer, I would be stuck here forever, so I asked her what a blood pact was.

But she didn't answer me that question, she just kept staring at me.

It must have been about half an hour, and she asked me the same question a third time, and I couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so I told her I didn't want to.

I thought she would kill me if I refused, but she just said, 'You'll be willing.'" And then it was gone. Just as I was feeling strange, I suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness come up and fall down in a daze.

When I woke up again, I was lying in the main hall of the inner room, leaning against a few backpacks, and the people in the group were still searching everywhere for something valuable, and they didn't want to let go of any of them.

I pulled a random person and asked where the woman in the statue was, but the person said that he had never seen a woman, and I asked several people in succession, and they all told me so.

They said that when I entered the inner chamber, I suddenly fainted, and they thought that I had not been in the grave for too long, so they helped me aside to rest, but I never left there the whole time, and there were no women in the inner chamber.

Although that scene was too real, everyone's unanimous statement still made me think that I might just have a dream, because I was obsessed with this jade statue, so I had such a bizarre dream.

At that time, there was nothing wrong with me, so I didn't think about it that much, so I picked a few random things and retreated with everyone.

When I got home, I just in time for my wife to give birth, and I happened to have a son, very much like me. The things brought out of the tomb also sold for a lot of money in the market, and the joy of the two good things made me quickly forget what happened in the tomb, and the family was still the same as before I left, and there were no problems. ”

"So the problem has only come out recently." Su Jianxia asked, "And looking at your appearance, it seems to be quite serious." ”

The man nodded, then lowered his head as if thinking about something, until the cigarette in his hand burned out and he reacted to the burning sensation in his fingers, and then he shuddered and took a cigarette from the cigarette case and re-lit it.

Su Jianxia noticed that when he lit the second cigarette, the man was obviously not as calm as just now, his hand that lit the cigarette had been trembling slightly, and there was a little more fear in his eyes.

"It happened about three months ago." The man took a hard puff of his cigarette and tried to calm himself down, "I just came home from work, and my wife told me that our son seemed to have a fever, and at first I thought it was just an ordinary fever, so I took it to the doctor, took medicine and infusion, but it didn't improve at all, and I lay in bed every day and felt dizzy.

I was of course very worried about such a child in my life, so I quickly took him to the best hospital in the city, asked a few friends, and found the most authoritative medical professor in the city to see.

But the professor looked at it for a long time and said that it was not like a fever, that his signs were very healthy, and that he was not sick at all from a medical point of view.

At that time, I only thought that his conclusion was very ridiculous, how could the child be healthy like this, and then I went to several other hospitals, and even went to the hospital in Beijing, but the results were all the same.

The matter here is not over yet, and there is news in the company that a batch of goods we left have been found out by the police, and even the people and goods have been taken away.

Actually, this is not an unusual thing for an industry like ours, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

But in the next few days, every line in the house was checked by the police, those who were making a move, and those who were contacting buyers, were all taken away, and the heads of several branch lines were also sentenced.

The signed orders are now gone, and the claims of those buyers are calling one after another, and there is no other way but to take the family's money out first, and I also found a few friends to borrow some.

But several lines of goods were checked at the same time, and the amount of compensation that needed to be compensated was too much, and I had thought about all the ways I could use, and I borrowed all the money I could borrow, but in the end half of it could not be filled.

There are debts outside, and children who are sick like this also need money to go to a hospital abroad, which is a lot of money.

I discussed with my wife, or I would go to work on a big ticket again, find a big tomb, and bring out everything I could bring, even if it couldn't solve all the problems, at least I could breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it is not a good way, no matter what the method, we always have to try, and our situation at that time can be regarded as desperate.

It's just that the police seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and they restricted my travel that day and forbade me from leaving Jiangbei.

What big tomb can there be in Jiangbei, they did this, undoubtedly blocking this road for me.

Maybe it's because the family has always had a smooth ride, and I haven't actually encountered any major setbacks. In fact, this situation is no different from waiting for death for me.

Two days ago, I made a temporary decision and went to the ancestral hall to meditate behind closed doors, but suddenly found that the lower part of the jade statue placed next to the ancestral tablet seemed to be stained with blood.

I thought someone had sneaked into the ancestral hall and accidentally stained it with blood.

But when I took it and looked at it carefully, I found that it didn't seem to be stained with blood, but the jade, which naturally turned blood red.

I suddenly remembered the scene I had encountered in the tomb two years ago, the woman who had come out of the stone statue and asked me a question.

That's when I realized what she meant by the last thing she said to me, 'You're willing'. Since she can make my Hu family last for a long time, she can also make us fall to the bottom.

I quickly put her away, got on my knees and asked her what she wanted.

But this time she didn't react.

I found friends in the industry who could still be contacted, asked them if they knew experts who were proficient in this field, and they all introduced a few Taoist priests and mages and the like, but none of them could tell the reason, more like a group of magic sticks who can only cheat and deceive.

Later, someone said that the trouble I am encountering now can only be solved by coming to Jiangning and finding a person named Wei Ziqi, to be honest, I don't believe in these people anymore, but there is really no better way, and I am willing to give it a try when I meet it. ”

After saying this, Hu Shouyu also finished his last puff of cigarette and looked at Wei Ziqi behind the bar.

"Who introduced you here?" Su Jianxia frowned.

Hu Shouyu hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "It's a lawyer who has dealt with some people before. ”

"Lu Ling?"

"It seems that Miss Su has met." Hu Shouyu breathed a sigh of relief, that wasn't what I said.

Su Jianxia was a little speechless, "Thinking about it, no one is so boring except for him." ”

"Mr. Nawei, is there a way to help me solve my current troubles?" Hu Shouyu asked at the two.

Su saw that Xia didn't reply, he stretched out his hand and patted the bar counter behind him, Wei Ziqi seemed to have come back to his senses and looked at Hu Shouyu.

Hu Shouyu sighed in his heart, looking at Wei Ziqi with an absent-minded look, it is estimated that nine times out of ten, he didn't listen to it, maybe it was not as good as those magic sticks he met before.

"It's a dead end." Wei Ziqi said.

"Deadend?" Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, "Can Mr. Wei make it clearer, does it mean that there is no way to solve it?" ”

"You have two choices now, I can help you break this contract, but in the same way, your family will prosper forever because of the contract, and you will return to its established destiny because of the termination of the contract.

The second is to accept this contract and nourish her with your flesh and soul, then everything will be restored to the way it was, and your son's illness and the problems of the family estate will also be solved, the only difference is that you have to sacrifice yourself in exchange for all this. Wei Ziqi looked at the man, his tone was very light, but it was like a mountain weighing heavily on the man's heart.

Hu Shouyu was stunned, "What is the established fate of the family." ”

"Your family doesn't have a rich life, and there is one thing you didn't say, the elder of your family has to go to the grave regardless of the risk in his old age, because your family owed a big debt back then, so big that the entire family can't make up for it." Wei Zi Qi thought for a moment, "It's like the situation you are facing now, it just happened a thousand years ago, although the family will continue, but each generation will always be at the bottom of society.

The elder of your family felt that he was old, and the spirit of sacrificing himself for the prosperity of the family in that era affected everyone, so he signed a blood contract with this jade statue and fed the jade statue for nearly a thousand years.

Counting the days, it is almost this year, his flesh and blood have been exhausted, the jade statue will definitely choose the next target, as for why he chose you, this involves some cause and effect from earlier, you don't need to know, you just need to make a decision. ”

Hu Shouyu said in a daze: "How do you know about the incident that our family encountered back then, this is obviously the most shameful past incident of the family, and no one will spread it." ”

Wei Ziqi didn't answer, and looked outside the store again, the moon just rose overhead, and the bright moonlight reflected through the glass in the store on the antiques in some corners, the surface of those antiques seemed to be surrounded by a layer of faint fluorescent color, but the antiques were not conspicuous, if you didn't look closer, you couldn't see it at all.

"That's all, Mr. Hu, we've already said what we should say, and the choice is up to you." Su saw that Xia saw that Wei Ziqi didn't want to answer, so he could only relay it on his behalf.

"What if I don't choose either." Hu Shouyu stared at Wei Ziqi tightly.

"Then the current situation will continue forever, and the family will be ruined." Wei Ziqi's voice sounded emotionless, "It's just a business problem now, in a few days, the rest of your family will be like your son, infected with that strange disease, until he dies, your son's illness is relatively early, maybe you can already see the signs of life passing in the past two days." ”

After Hu Shouyu listened, the whole person seemed to be decadent in an instant, and closed his eyes, "Why is it our family, why is it." ”

Wei Ziqi didn't pay attention to his reaction, although Su Jianxia was a little sympathetic, but he had seen too many things like this, and he didn't want to say words of comfort for a long time.

"Is there any other way I can do it? Or is there anyone else who can save me, no matter what the price is, I am willing, after our Hu family's business improves, I can afford to pay no matter how expensive the remuneration is. Hu Shouyu asked cautiously.

"There is only one person in this world who can save you now, if you are willing to agree to the first one, break the blood contract, and I can take you to him." Wei Ziqi casually touched a business card from the table and threw it on the table in front of Hu Shouyu, "You can go back and think about it first, and then call this when you decide." ”

Hu Shouyu took the business card, which only had the words Chao Ge and a string of phone numbers written on it, an ordinary store business card.

Hu Shouyu froze in place for a while, sighed heavily, got up and bowed to Wei Ziqi, then carefully cleaned up the jade statue on the table, and turned to leave.

"If the contract is terminated, he can at least save his own life and the life of the whole family, why hesitate." Su Jianxia looked at the man's somewhat sluggish back and shook his head.

"This kind of big family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, will be instilled with the idea of the supremacy of family honor from birth, coupled with the habits and feelings of being the superior of a big family on weekdays, for them, the decline of the family is sometimes more uncomfortable than killing them, so it is normal for him to be unable to make a choice for a while."

Wei Ziqi raised his finger to the sky, and the light of the moon hanging high in the sky began to fade before disappearing into the sky.

The bustling streets are all busy looking for their own happiness, and with all kinds of colorful LED signs, no one will notice that the moon has disappeared into the sky.

Wei Ziqi looked at the direction Hu Shouyu left, and said softly: "It is originally the body of the Yin, and it can also absorb Yin Qi from the moonlight, it is indeed a great thing. ”

"It's just a pity, a tragedy."

"What will he choose in the end?" Su Jianxia was a little curious.

Wei Ziqi didn't answer directly, but just answered the question, "I'll take you to meet someone in two days." ”

"It won't be the Miss Xu who went on a blind date today." Su Jianxia suddenly had a wicked smile on his face.

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, Wei Ziqi, who had just been a little far away from the world, choked up, and opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't speak.

"It's a pity that I didn't see your thousand-year-old iron tree bloom." Su saw Xia pressing step by step, "I thought you wouldn't come back tonight, and I was going to tell the surnamed Hu to let him come back tomorrow." ”

"Why didn't I come back?" Wei Ziqi was stunned.

"You've lived for thousands of years, isn't it easy to attract this kind of little girl? After eating for such a long time, release your charm casually, she must not obediently go with you tonight. Su Jianxia had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, "I didn't expect you to come back tonight, thanks to my dedication in front of Sister Wang, I won you a chance, like you, who is still single now, and does not contribute to the country's fertility plan at all." ”

Wei Ziqi closed his mouth, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, Su Jianxia would seize the opportunity to be angry again.

But today, Su Jianxia picked up her mobile phone and looked at it after she finished speaking, and jumped up from the sofa with a "ah" sound, "It's past ten o'clock, I forgot to tell Yueyue that I would go to the bar where she sang at night to give her a performance." ”

Wei Ziqi thought for a while, and then remembered that this girl named Yueyue was Su Jianxia's college roommate, a child from the countryside, and her parents at home borrowed a circle to just make up the tuition fees, so she often worked in various places to earn living expenses.

I remember that last time Su Jianxia said that this girl sang in a bar on the street, and she had nothing to do to rush her performance, which made her feel much more comfortable than giving her money directly.

Su saw that Xia just pushed open the door and went out, and soon came back, "By the way, uncle, Yueyue seems to be a night market in the future, and the school dormitory will be locked at eleven o'clock, she will definitely not be able to go back, she can't stay in the bar for a night, or let her come to the store to live when she works part-time in the future, anyway, there are so many empty rooms." ”

"Isn't it up to you to decide these things, you just have to arrange them." Wei Ziqi turned around to make herself a cup of coffee and then went to sleep.

He never cared about things in life, and Su Jianxia basically just reported it every time he told him, but it had already been arranged.

"Okay." Su Jianxia tilted his head and squinted and smiled, then closed the door and walked out in a jump.

Wei Ziqi inadvertently glanced up, and in the dense crowd, Su Jianxia's tall back was particularly outstanding, and the long tall ponytail flicked around with the beating, ushering in a lot of turning heads.

Wei Ziqi looked at it for a while, shook his head and smiled, and continued to make coffee.
