Chapter 70: The Silkworm Road [4]

Early in the morning, when it was cloudy and rainy, Zhang Qiu called two taxis for the trip to the mountaintop of the little fat ghost's villa.

The south side of the mountain road was backed by the mountain and the topmost area was the villa area developed in recent years. Because of the convenient transportation and good environment, many wealthy people had set up real estate here. Little fat ghost's family was one of them.

The cars drove up the road until the third house, the bell on Xiao Jiang's wrist jingled. While keeping a straight face, Xiao Jiang pinched the relentless bell and said, “Here it is.”

When the crowd got out of the cars, with a calm face, Xiao Jiang roared at the bell on his wrist and said, “I'll eat you if you're making trouble.”

“He's homesick. You'll have to be more considerate.” Zhang Qiu touched his son's head and laughed.

Xiao Jiang pouted and unhappily said, “Children are so troublesome, always crying. Daddy, do you think little brother will cry as well?”

Everyone was present, so Zhang Qiu was a little embarra.s.sed being asked that. “How do you know it's a little brother and not little sister?” How nice to have a little girl ah!

At the side, Zhang YuShui swept a circle around Zhang Qiu and Li Shu before lightly said, “If two men can produce girls, count me lose.”

“Let's not talk about that.” Being looked at with somewhat identical look (like ZYS) by Li Shu next to him, Zhang Qiu quickly turned aside the topic and said, “Let's first help Xiao Pang.” [Little fatty/plump]

Having heard that, Xiao Jiang's little tiger's teeth emerged and he said cheerfully, “Daddy, you said we can't nickname someone else.”

Zhang Qiu felt that he was getting karma today and hastily said, “Daddy is wrong. We shouldn't nickname little friend, but what is Xiao Pang's name?” They were just helping in pa.s.sing, and with Xiao Ling's matter, they didn't ask who was the little fat ghost's family and his name.

Yue Le.

No one had spoken, but Zhang Qiu heard the name. He looked at Xiao Jiang's wrist. Xiao Jiang nodded his head. “He said it himself.”

“Okay, first send little——” Zhang YuShui almost said little fat ghost, but because of the hit under the arm by Pixian Hui w.a.n.g, he hurriedly closed his mouth before saying: “Send Xiao Yue home first.”

This villa area basically took European-style buildings, but there were also some part not exactly the same. Yue Family's house was obviously much low-key than Gao Family's. The doorbell had been rung, and soon a maid came out. Her eyes were red as if she had just cried.

“What can I help you?”

“We have things to do on behalf of Xiao Yue, that is, Yue Le——” Zhang Yushui had not finish his words, and there was a woman inside who heard Yue Le's name rushed out and looked haggard. She grasped Zhang Yushui's hand tightly. “Yue Le, is Yue Le, does he have something for you to do?”

Zhang YuShui was about to open his mouth when a man, about 25-26 year old, dressed in formal clothes, reached out and held the woman in his arms. “Ma, calm down first.” Then he looked at them, on guard, “What on earth do you want to do? My little brother is dead and never knew you. Don't stir my mother up with my little brother's name.”

“This place is not suitable for talking. We really have no malice.” Zhang Qiu hurriedly uttered. “You won't lose by listening to what we're going to say.”

The woman grabbed her eldest son's hand and repeatedly said, “Listen to them, QinCang, maybe it's Lele!”

Yue QinCang swept over Zhang Qiu and the others. He hesitated before nodded, “Come in, I warn you, don't think of any deceptive tricks.”

They followed into the living room. Zhang Qiu found that it was cold and quiet here. The decorations on the furniture were all put away and there were signs of packing up everywhere. Fortunately, they came today, otherwise the family would have been move away.

The maid went to pour tea. Zhang Qiu saw through Yue QinCang's expression that he was guarding against them like he was guarding against thieves. Plus, what drinking tea? The sooner they were done, the sooner they gone.

Zhang YuShui also meant this and asked the maid to pull down the curtains. He held the Tao talisman paper in his hand and Yue QinCang sneered, “Cheap trick of scamming.” Zhang YuShui did not say anything. The talisman paper suddenly ignited and in the empty air of living room slowly appeared a figure of a chubby child.

“My Lele!” The originally stable woman on the sofa promptly rushed over upon seeing the figure, but she flung into the air. Suddenly feeling helpless, she asked, “Lele, what's wrong with Lele?”

At this moment, Yue QinCang, who had shown disdain and mock, was stunned too. He yelled in unbelievable, “Little brother?”

“Big brother and Mama, it's me, Lele.” The little fat ghost cried again when he saw his family.

Zhang YuShui said at this time, “He's weak in spirit. Early reincarnation is good for him. Before he dies, he had a persistance for you guys that made him unable to go. What do you have to say, say it quickly. It's not good for him to be delayed for a long time.”

“Great Master, can you save Lele? He's only eight years old; he's only eight years old. Blame me; blame me for not looking after him. When the car came, I should have rushed up…”

Zhang YuShui shook his head. “A dead person can't come back to life. Don't make him persist.”

Yue QinCang came to his senses and with a face full of unbelievable, thanked him (ZYS), then persuaded his mother. The woman gradually accepted the fact that her youngest son had died. For more than ten days, her thoughts and regrets poured out, she wanted to hold Yue Le but she had no other way.

“Mama, don't cry. Lele are going away. You have to take good care of yourself. Big Brother, you have to take good care of mama.” Yue Le said, like a little adult.

When the Yue's mother and son finished talking, Yue Le's persistence dissipated and his shadow faded away.

The woman knew that her son was leaving. Despite the pain and reluctant to let go, she did not wish to stop her youngest son from reincarnating, because that was the best thing for him.

After Yue Le left, the woman pa.s.sed through emotional ups and downa. Right now her spirit was not good, she was somewhat dizzy. Yue QinCang helped her into her room to rest, and soon came out with a sincere att.i.tude to thank them.

“It's a helping while we are at it. If there is nothing, we're going first.” Zhang YuShui said.

“Wait a minute.” Yue QinCang said, with some seriousness on his face, “I thought my little brother's car accident was an accidental, but these days I always feel it was not right.”

Zhang YuShui said, “Mr. Yue, if the accident man-made or accidental, you should call the police.”

“It's no use.” Yue QinCang frowned and did not know when to start (talking). “It seems that everything happened two months ago. My father accidentally accepted a piece of Jade Bi. It was an antique. My father loved it very much. He invited people, whom engaged in the same pursuit to study it all day and it was said to be some address led to Silkworm Road. I didn't like it before. I thought that divinity and Taoism are deceptive.”

It's a Jade Bi again.

Zhang Qiu frowned and felt that they had fallen into a strange circle again. He could not help looking a glance at Li Shu. The tranquil looking Li Shu suddenly moved his line of sight (to him). On his calm face, the lips lifted up as he smiled. Zhang Qiu's heart skipped.

His (ZQ) face felt warm.

Xiao Shushu was really teasing him everywhere! Felt like pouncing on Xiao Shushu ah!

He was undulating here for a while, and as soon as he looked up, he saw ErSao staring at him with a smile. He immediately put on a thick face and acted like nothing happened. The one who had a moment in heat definitely was not him. Blamed Li Shu for his too beautiful appearance!

“A month ago, my father died of a sudden heart attack. When my mother packed up my father's things, she found that the piece of jade that my father treasured was missing.” Yue QinCang rubbed his forehead, apparently fatigued by the successive changes in the past two months. “It wasn't long before my little brother had a car accident. Although I couldn't figure out what the two had to do with this, it seems that my family has not been very peaceful since the appearance of the Jade Bi.”

Zhang Qiu couldn't think that the disappearance of Jade Bi had anything to do with the death of Yue's father and son, but then he heard Erge asked, “Have you ever invited a master of sutras in your home?”

“After my father died, my mother became superst.i.tious and invited Buddhist monk to chant sutras.” Yue QinCang frowned and then asked, “Does it have anything to do with this?”

Zhang YuShui did not say anything but looked around. “Do you mind if I walk around?”

“Please.”

Zhang Qiu and the others followed Zhang YuShui walking around the Yue's house. Unexpectly, there was a big swimming pond behind the house.

“Sure enough, there's a problem.” Zhang YuShui stared at the pond.

“Was it the monk——”

“You should be glad that your mother invited the monk to chant sutras.” Zhang YuShui looked up at the top of the mountain and sneered. He took back his eyes and said, “Two months ago, your family was shadowed by evil spirits. If you lived here for a long time, you would be unlucky. With bad luck, your younger brother is too young to escape even if the monk drove away a lot of evil spirits.”

As soon as Zhang YuShui entered the house, he didn't notice anything wrong. Firstly; the monk drove away evil spirits. Secondly; distance. Only after a period of time that he went to the backyard swimming pond, did he found the problem. The water was cloudy, and there was still the Yin and evil spirits' breath left.

How did this approach look just like Gao Family's dealing with Lin Family?

Zhang Qiu looked at Zhang Yushui, and Zhang Yus.h.i.+ nodded. Yue QinCang was not dumb. Seeing them communicating like that, he guessed that they knew something. Even without being questioned, Zhang Yushui did not hide it from him, “This technique is the same as Gao Family's dealing with Lin Family. I have no evidence in my hand. You and your mother should move out as soon as possible. But first, don't inadvertently alert the enemy.”

From the Yue Household, they went to the Lin Household, but this time the entrance was closed.

Xiao Ling went in to take a look and shook his head, indicating there was no one inside.

“Let's go back first.” Li Shu said.

They took taxis to go back. It was already mid-noon, and they went to eat first. After a while, Zhang Yushui received a call. After he was done talking, he laughed. “It's a coincidence. Big Brother knows I'm in Chengdu and he had just received a job but couldn't get away. He made me help him to take a look on Fengshui. It happens to be from the Lin Household.”

It's really a coincidence.

Anyway, Zhang Household was well-known on the road (for Taoism) and was the Celestial Master Zhang's descendant according to legend. The rich people in Hong Kong had invited Zhang Sanlian to visit for Fengshui measurement. The Lin Household had had a bad career recently, and their descendants were not in good health. The Lin's parents were superst.i.tious and sent people to inquire about it. Naturally, it's reasonable to ask for the most famous one on the road.

After noon, each of them went busy respectively. Pei Qing took little Ling Dang to go shopping, which had became Pei Qing's pleasure now. Zhang Qiu pouted his lips and turned his head to see Li Shu staring at him thoughtfully. He immediately felt bloodcurling and said, “Don't you think about it. I won't wear a skirt, even if you wear it.”

“You seem to have thought about it.” Li Shu said lightly.

Zhang Qiu was choked back by Li Shu's respond, and whispered, “You are so beautiful, you should look better than me.” As he said at this point, he really had never fantasized about Li Shu wearing skirts. It was Li Shu's imposing manner that prevented him from fantasizing, and he had no peculiar hobby like that of Pei Qing's.

But then again, why did he ever imagine that Li Shu forced him to wear woman's clothes, and then he (ZQ) refused to say what he meant, and finally he gave up under the pressure of Li Shu…

Well, why did he make such a fantasy?!

Li Shu looked at Zhang Qiu, who was lost in contemplation and whose expression appeared on his face. His lips rose in smile. It seemed that there would be some fun in the future.
