To know a word is to works

Strange Commission #2

    

clasp my lower abdomen, preventing me from bowing.His cool, thin lips brushed against my earlobe, and he whispered, “...Is it too much trouble to ask Taichi-sama for these wishes Why not ask me instea...My dad never talked about Mom's life before. My brother and I also avoided bringing up the past to spare him from sadness, so we kept quiet and didn't mention it.

Now it seems Dad has loosened up, perhaps because he's reaching middle age and has a kind of "let go of everything" attitude.

After I and my brother both got married, he suddenly felt that all the children he protected were grown up, while he was still immersed in the past of not wanting to believe his wife's death.

“All things in the world arise due to fate. Every sip and every drop, are all intertwined by cause and effect.” Jiang Qiyun placed the pink talisman back into my hand, enveloping it with his own, gradually drawing it closer.

"Coming into being and passing away are just part of the cycle of cause and effect. There's no need to cling too tightly, as clinging leads to obsession and losing one's true nature."

He spoke softly, as he always did when teaching me these days.

But my nature has always been insufficient, some truths perhaps can only be truly understood after experiencing pain and the passage of time.

When advising others, there are always countless words because one hasn't experienced it themselves.

Before I went back home, I called Song Wei. She said she hadn't found any signs of misfortune around her and suspected that the master was a fraud. Moreover, the master had quickly checked out of the hospital and was no longer there at this time.

I was puzzled. The voice of this master didn't sound much like that of Master He, who made the ghost cave.

But without seeing the person myself, it's hard to say for sure. After all, I only met Master He once, and perhaps he changed his tone of voice.

My brother came home to rest for half a day, and then he's getting ready to take us back to our hometown.

Children are naturally fond of running outside. Upon hearing that they were going back to their great-grandfather's mansion, Yu and Younan were ecstatic—they could skip kindergarten!

She stuffed the toys back into her little handbag. It was a furry teddy bear handbag, with little handkerchiefs, cookies, and beads...

Um! Little Pearl!

I hurried over and crouched down in front of her, clutching her small wrist. It was so soft and tender, like cream yogurt.

"What is that, 'returning'" I asked. A child playing with beads is a headache for parents, for fear of swallowing them by accident.

"This was given to me by daddy~~" Yu Gui held the bead with both hands.

Isn't this the pearl necklace… Such a valuable thing, to give it to a child as a toy, isn't that right

Jiang Qiyun is still "flagrantly" helping his daughter grab toys, I have to admire him.

The toy snatched away by her father was even more precious now that it was returned. She tucked it carefully into her little handbag and zipped it up excitedly.

Unlike Gu Yi's cheerful and lively nature, You Nan quietly tugged on my sleeve with her backpack on and whispered, "Mother, is Great-Great-Grandfather sick"

This child has a calm and thoughtful mind, with an insight and perspective that belies their age.

"No, it's just that your father happened to have some free time these past two days, so we thought we'd go out for a walk in the countryside and pay our respects to your great-grandfather on the way back." I knelt in front of Younan, helping him adjust the straps of his anti-lost backpack.

You Nan reached out and hugged me, the soft and petite man felt like a marshmallow in my arms. My heart softened instantly.

Moreover, he looks just like a cute chibi Jiang Qiyun, making him irresistible to want to squeeze.

"Mother, you've been so busy lately, you've even lost weight." Younan rubbed against me with concern.

As soon as he hugged me, Yu Gui definitely had to come and "compete for favor." I held one in each hand, cuddling with them for a long time. My brother finished organizing the car and came to call us to leave.

Just as we were about to leave, the phone rang in the shop. Old Chen answered it and called out to us, "Young Master, Miss, someone named Ah Qi is looking for you both. He says he's a relative of yours."

Archie

That Archie who runs the black and white company My brother and I exchanged glances. My brother handed me the car keys and said, "Get in first. I'll go pick him up. I have a feeling this old geezer is up to something again."

I and Jiang Qiyun sat in the back row, each on one side, holding two children in front and fastening their seat belts, waiting for my brother to drive.

In a few minutes, my brother showed up. He tossed his backpack onto the passenger seat and whispered, "That kid, Aqi, took on some strange commission. He couldn't explain it over the phone. I told him we were going back to our hometown, so he could tell us everything."

"What's wrong with him again Didn't the last ghost incident scare him enough" I was speechless.

"There's no way, once you get involved in this world of yin and yang, it's hard to break out... Let's go back first and talk about it."

Three.

The Mu family's ancestral home was secluded in the countryside. The main house was an old building in the Republican style, with blue bricks and gray tiles, surrounded by houses built by their descendants.

Although they were country folk from the mountains, since they all made a living within the world of yin and yang, they paid close attention to feng shui.

Those who are doing well and wealthy have spacious houses with courtyards, a bright hall. Those who are ordinary also have houses with all the five elements (earth, wood, fire, metal, water), paying attention to feng shui arrangements.

You might think this place is some historical or cultural site, where famous scholars and officials came from. In reality, it's a gathering spot for families who made their fortunes in sand mining.

Ascetics actually have a fondness for mountains and fields, as they can escape the hustle and bustle of city life and find peace of mind.

But... uh... that definitely wasn't a mountain forest during vacation.

"It's not even a holiday yet! There are so many tourist buses already" My brother was driving and got stuck in traffic because there were quite a few tourist buses ahead of him. He was getting a bit annoyed.

I'm also a bit speechless. Over the years, everyone's living standards have improved. Basically, people have their own cars. Even if it's not a long holiday, they can take advantage of Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to go hiking.

"But this area isn't really a tourist attraction, is it Why are there so many cars"

We have never encountered this situation at home.

"I bet there's some kind of resort or farmhouse up ahead. No wonder this village road is so jammed." My brother was getting impatient and wanted to get out of the car.

"Don't go, let's turn around now while the road isn't jammed yet. We can take a longer route back. Otherwise, if we get stuck ahead, who knows when we'll be able to get through With the kids, it's not worth it." I hurriedly dissuaded my brother.

My brother looked back at Yu Gui and You Nan. The two babies stared intently at their uncle.

Without hesitation, my brother immediately reversed his car forcefully on the narrow village road. If I had this kind of driving skill, I wouldn't have to stay home like a good-for-nothing.

By the time we arrived at our village, after a long journey, Achi and his crew were already there, smoking and chatting in the small supermarket by the entrance.

This village is mostly made up of people with the same surname, so everyone knows each other. As soon as our car arrived, almost all the relatives in the village knew we were back within ten minutes. Fortunately, when things are quiet, these relatives don't dare to disturb Grandpa's peace.

Before the grand mansion of our late grandfather, as soon as we stepped out of the car, Ah Qi rushed over and whispered, "Master, young mistress, you really have to take care of this. Someone is bullying our Mu family!"

My brother frowned and said, “Stop spreading rumors. Who was bullied Our Mu family isn't some powerful clan; why would anyone dare to bully us”

"Tsk, that village just ahead. I just asked around, and apparently they built a temple there! It's full of devotees, saying our place has good feng shui, so they built a small temple. Apparently, it was funded by some surname Liu clan. Isn't this stealing our feng shui energy!" Ach angrily stated.

My brother gave him a glance and said, "If you want to cause trouble, go to another village. If you can manage to tear down the Taoist temple, I'll give you ten million dollars."

"Ah Chi was taken aback, then chuckled dryly. 'No no no, I was just joking around. It's not our territory, so what can I do about it... Besides, with this ten million you have, I probably wouldn't be able to earn it even if I tried.'"

He pouted, putting on an air of pitiful woe.

"Stop playing the victim, where did you go and provoke a female ghost this time" My brother scolded.

"No, no, no, not at all! This is really not me. The commission was just too strange! I didn't dare to accept it. But if I don't open my door for business, I'll be ridiculed and mocked by my colleagues. Isn't that what I'm asking the two of you to help me with"

>aman tribe's way of thinking... I don't have the same devout faith as the Shamans."The witch smiled gently. You carry the bloodline of the Witch Clan, but lack the inherited Blood Gu. Even if you cult...
