In the end, Luoqiu, Song Ying, and Zhang Qingrui ran into Song Haoran on their way back.
"A wolf?" Song Ying opened her mouth.
"Or a wild boar, but it's not a big problem." Song Haoran said casually. However, his shirt was gone, and he was only wearing a pair of pants. It was hard to associate that with 'not a big problem'.
Even so, although Song Haoran did not have any clothes on his upper body, there were no wounds on his body, which made Song Ying feel at ease.
"Really? Xiao Ying and Miss Zhang are trapped in a cave? What a coincidence!" Song Haoran smiled casually. "Where's Luoqiu? Where did you go? "
"I just circled around the area." Luoqiu said casually. "I heard some strange sounds, so I found Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui."
This was just Luoqiu's excuse. If he wanted to find someone, he would not have to use the method of 'hearing sounds'.
But for some reason, when Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui heard the words' strange sounds', their expressions changed subtly. Zhang Qingrui was more shy after all. She blushed slightly and pulled her neck into her clothes.
Song Haoran looked at the two ladies suspiciously, but he could not figure out what was going on. He had his own experience in the fog, and the mysterious man even left him a strange ancient book.
Other than Mr. Blind, it was the first time he met such an undefeatable person. Even if he could revive more than a hundred times, he still could not do anything to the mysterious man. Just this point alone made Song Haoran very interested in the ancient book left behind by the mysterious man.
At this time, he was anxious to go back and study the ancient book, so he did not have much time to investigate what happened to Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui in the cave. As a result, there seemed to be some strange changes in the relationship between the two.
"But since everyone is fine, let's go back quickly," Song Haoran, as an elder, said at this time, "Otherwise, father will definitely be angry."
"Put on your clothes first." Luoqiu took out a long-sleeved shirt from his backpack. The reason why he did not take out another coat was that he had taken out a lot of things in a row. It would be unreasonable to take out something bigger.
But …
"By the way, where did you buy this backpack? Can it really hold so many things? " Song Haoran looked curiously at the backpack after putting on the long-sleeved shirt that Luoqiu gave him.
Luoqiu said at this time, "As long as you fold the things properly, there will be a way to store them."
"Well … Let's not talk about this nonsense. Let's go back quickly. It's completely dark!"
Song Ying pushed Song Haoran's back at this time. She did not care how many things the backpack could hold. She just wanted to go back as soon as possible, take a good bath, and think about what had happened today. There was no doubt that, just like those outdated wuxia novels, she ate something strange and then slept with a lady.
So, she was also a lady herself …
But whether it was Song Ying, Song Haoran, or Zhang Qingrui, at this time, subconsciously neglected one thing at this time. That was, why the fog was so strange, and why the people who were originally in the 'Gazing Dragon Pavilion' were suddenly separated at this time. Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui also saw that huge and horrible black shadow in the fog … But they did not mention it.
It seemed that it was not strange at all. It seemed that as long as they hid it in their hearts, it seemed that it was not worth mentioning … Even, it seemed that, 'Ah, isn't it a very normal thing?'.
They did not speak on the way back.
…
— You can reflect on yourself in your room tonight, and don't eat dinner!
This was what Master Song said to Song Haoran after they returned to the ancestral house of the Song Family — because there was no doubt that Song Haoran was the leader of these people who came back so late.
Song Haoran accepted the punishment very quickly. After leaving a cheeky smile, he walked to his room very coquettishly.
Zhang Qingrui was a guest, so Master Song did not say much. As for Song Ying, Master Song just casually reprimanded her for a while and then left it at that.
"Luoqiu, you must be tired after running all day. I asked Uncle Wu to save some food for you. Go back to your room after eating. "
"Ah, okay." Luoqiu nodded.
Song Ying rolled her eyes helplessly — This guy is your grandson, isn't he?
But Song Ying was not in the mood to be jealous.
She glanced at Zhang Qingrui. Zhang Qingrui said that she was tired before, so she said goodbye to her father and went back to the room prepared for her.
Song Ying ate two mouthfuls of rice and went back to her room alone, leaving Luo Qiu and Master Song chatting in the dining room.
After the meal, Song Tianyou made tea and then asked, "Luoqiu, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"Go ahead."
Song Tianyou thought for a while, "Mr. Blind asked me to do something before returning to the country. He seems to be looking for something, and he hopes that you can help him. "
"Me?" Luoqiu asked in surprise, "I heard that Mr. Blind is an expert in geomancy … I don't think he needs my help, right?"
Song Tianyou smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Blind left China a long time ago because of some things, and he hasn't been back for a long time. This time, he must have come back for something important … This time, he specifically asked you to help him, and I really couldn't refuse. If it weren't for Mr. Blind, the Song family wouldn't have achieved what it has today, so he asked me to do it … What do you think? "
"That's nothing." Luo Qiu nodded and said, "But, why are you looking for me?"
Song Tianyou told him the truth, "Do you remember when Mr. Blind first met you in the mourning hall? He said that you're a benefactor with unimaginable luck … He probably wants to borrow your luck. Of course, Mr. Blind also said that he won't let you help for free no matter if he can find it or not. "
As he spoke, Old Master Song carefully took out a small box and opened it in front of Luoqiu. The box was a little old, and after opening it, there were three wax pills the size of longans inside.
Song Tianyou said, "This is a miracle medicine made by Mr. Blind himself. It can prolong one's life, cure all diseases, and even heal injuries. There are three pills in total, and they're extremely precious. The cost of making each pill is hundreds of millions of US dollars … This is his deposit. "
Luoqiu sat quietly in front of Song Tianyou for a while, then reached out and took the box. He took out one of the pills, "I'll take these two, and the remaining one is for you."
"This … this isn't good." Song Tianyou shook his head.
Luoqiu said softly, "It's New Year, isn't it normal to give something to the elders at home?"
— The elders at home.
Song Tianyou took it from Luoqiu's hands with great care.
Even if it was him, Mister Blind might not necessarily give him this miraculous pill. There was no superior and subordinate relationship between him and Mr. Blind, but more of a cooperative relationship — In other words, the Song Family was relying on Mr. Blind, who was a miracle doctor.
Old Master Song knew his own physical condition, so he was naturally tempted by such a miracle medicine … Now that he got it from Luoqiu's hands, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
"I'll go back to my room first." Luoqiu said goodbye.
Old Master Song nodded, watching Luoqiu leave. He sat in the dining room, boiling tea and drinking it slowly. He looked at the wax pill in his hand from time to time, thinking that it already had a taste even though the New Year hadn't arrived yet.
However, Old Master Song's private phone rang at this moment … It was Zhang Lilanfang, the grandmother of Zhang Qingrui whom he respected so much.
"Hello, Elder Sister Li!"
"Brat Song, my granddaughter didn't suffer, did she?"
"Haha! I dare to offend ten thousand people, but I dare not to offend you, Elder Sister. " Song Tianyou was in a good mood, joking, "I'll definitely treat your granddaughter like a Buddha."
"Alright, you're such a playboy." Zhang Lilanfang lowered her voice, "I received a call from Qingrui this morning. Well, I'll go there alone this New Year, and I won't go to your hometown either. But there's one thing I want you to prepare for. "
Song Tianyou was stunned. His heart stirred as he said, "Big Sister, you're talking about... the tomb?"
"Today, the Suzuki Family from Japan sent us a message, saying that their people have arrived. I hope you can contact them as soon as possible. I've already talked to Seven, he'll take you there when we meet. "
Song Tianyou frowned and said, "Big sister, I didn't mean to decline. After all, my people have already been arranged here … It's just that tomorrow night is New Year's Eve … Can't we wait until after the New Year?"
"This is their request, I can't do anything about it." Zhang Lilanfang's voice was a bit helpless, "Their opinion is that because it's the end of the year, all the domestic departments will have arrived, so it'll be more convenient for them to do it. No one can imagine that someone will excavate the Imperial Tomb during the New Year. "
"That's true …" Song Tianyou nodded, then said helplessly, "But, it's a bit unlucky."
"You're a mercenary leader, why do you care about unlucky things?" Zhang Lilanfang sneered, "Don't be long-winded. The Suzuki Family is willing to increase the cooperation fee by 30%, and they've agreed to share the excavated items with us. "
"I'm afraid it's Elder Sister Li's credit, right?" Song Tianyou laughed … Zhang Lilanfang didn't even see her granddaughter, so she must have been competing with her partner from Japan on the negotiation table these two days.
"Since Elder Sister Li has asked, then I have no problem." Song Tianyou nodded.
Grandpa Song didn't care about the additional cooperation fee at all — He didn't need money. Instead, if there were any rare treasures excavated from the Imperial Tomb, it would be something that couldn't be measured by money.
"OK, on the second day of the New Year, Seven will come to you." Zhang Lilanfang said quickly, "And there's one more thing, you need to pay more attention to it."
"Go ahead, Elder Sister."
"I know the relative you've just found is related to my Qing Rui." Zhang Lilanfang paused for a while, "If possible, I don't want them to be closer to each other."
Song Tianyou's happy mood was suddenly covered with a layer of haze. He said calmly, "Elder Sister Li, you're talking about Luoqiu, right … Why? Do you think I'm not good enough for your family?"
"Brat Song, you know I only have one granddaughter." Zhang Lilanfang's voice was a bit cold.
"What a coincidence." Song Tianyou said coldly, "She's the only descendant of my elder brother. Whoever looks down on her is the same as looking down on me. Those who look down on me haven't celebrated the New Year for a long time. "
"Song Tianyou, are you threatening me?"
"That's not what I mean."
Song Tianyou said calmly, "I just hope Elder Sister Li can understand and don't forget what happened that year. How did you escape from the capital and how did you fall into trouble? How did my Song Family help you get through the difficulties? All these years, I've never forced you to repay me. You should be clear about what you promised … I regard Luo Qiu as my grandson, so I'll satisfy him no matter what he wants. I hope you can be clear about this. "
After a long while, Zhang Lilanfang suddenly asked, "If he wants the whole Song Family, will you give it to him?"
Song Tianyou said directly, "Yes!"
"Let's not talk about this first." Zhang Lilanfang kept silent for a while, "Let's finish this cooperation first."
"That's what I want." Song Tianyou nodded calmly.
…
…
Thousands of miles away, in the study room of the Zhang Family.
She was actually very old. Her body was getting weaker day by day. However, she still needed to take care of the Zhang Family and the Li Family.
Although she wasn't physically and mentally exhausted, she was almost there.
She didn't know what would happen in two or three years.
Zhang Lilanfang sighed, leaning on the chair and pondering, "Inheriting the Song Family … If so, it's a way out. What a bad fate …"
Zhang Lilanfang took off her presbyopia glasses tiredly. She rubbed between her eyebrows and glanced at the photo frame on the table.
It was a black-and-white and yellowed old photo of a young man and a young woman.
