Abandoned Village (2)

the hill, which was already an ominous sign. And they were building a subway station at the entranceNow everyone feels that having a subway station right next to their home is the best, as houses wil..."Mu Yunfan, dear brother, you still won't admit your feelings for Lin Yanqin" I glared at him, waiting to see how he would explain his erratic behavior.

He awkwardly touched his nose and said in a low voice, "It's normal for men to erect their tents in the morning! Yin spirits need to work, you know. Ancestor checks whether the Yin spirit is normal based on whether there's morning *erection*."

"Hmph, tough talk. You wouldn't jump into her arms the moment you see Lin Yanqin Don't pretend you don't want her! Jiang Qoyun said, when a man wants a woman, he thinks about her day and night. That's exactly what you're doing now..."

“Please, I can't compare to your husband. He's not human! Working so hard and diligently pays for everything, keeping you so white and tender... ordinary people like us just occasionally get a thought... it’s just that mornings are more prone to getting angry.”

He kept up his tough act while driving.

"Then tell me, what did you say to Lin Yanqin How could you coax her with just a few words And even make her cry Did you confess"

"How come you little women are always thinking about confessions Is just saying it useful It's more useful to take actual action." He snorted.

"Alright, alright, keep being stubborn. Let's see how long you can hold on when our plan starts to unfold." I didn't press him further. My brother knows his limits and will wait for the right moment before making his next move.

"Don't keep asking me about things, I've been busy lately and even forgot to remind you that you're past your confinement period...I asked the OB/GYN doctor, she said that it's normal not to have a period during breastfeeding, but some people get their periods back in the second or third month, while others wait until six months or after weaning. It varies from person to person...You don't really have any responsibilities now that you've given birth, so you and your partner should discuss whether you want to use contraception."

I blushed and looked at him. Grandmother always said, "Eldest brother is like a father," but my eldest brother is more like "eldest brother is like a mother"!

He has considered all these things, and I really can't find anyone to discuss these private worries with.

"... I'm a little worried about this. Jiang Qiyun particularly dislikes hearing the word 'condoms'. He says that if anyone dares to sell them to me, he'll shut down the Ghost Market."

"... Damn, that's brutal"

"What are we going to do, brother He's lived for over two thousand years, while our human society has only entered the modern age a little over a hundred years ago. His thinking is still very 'outdated', you see."

“Don’t ask me about this, it’s up to you. I think he wouldn’t force you either… He wants to take care of you and have you join him freely traveling the three realms as soon as possible, so he definitely won’t use any contraception… So just go with the flow, do it during your safe period every month and not during your dangerous period… But I think it’s inevitable that it will be like dry wood meeting fire… hehe.” He chuckled twice.

I'm helpless, actually I don't mind having a child for him, after all, I love him very much. However, I'm a little scared and don't want to do it so soon.

"Having a baby in the womb is so much less stressful than having an ordinary child! You haven't seen the aunties and daughters-in-law in our alley, have you The price they pay to give birth is huge! You're being treated so well by him, and you're still worried about getting fat or ugly I think you're even prettier than before, I don't know what you're worried about..." My brother gave me a sarcastic comment.

Along the way, we complained to each other, and before we knew it, we arrived at Xiling Village.

In our circle, there's a rather unique type of person: those who made their fortune by panning for gold.

Grave robber.

In times of war, doing this is nothing special. Warlords and local governments even officially loot ancient sites, so who cares about what ordinary people do

When the living can't even survive, who would bother respecting the dead

Therefore, some of the skills of "looking, listening, asking, and probing" for tombs were passed down. My brother is a good young man of the new era who has never participated in sand mining, but he knows quite a bit about it.

"Hey, Xiao Qiao, any place names with characters like 'ling' or 'ling' will be particularly interesting to sand miners."

"Why"

"In the past, when officials, nobles, ministers, and even emperors died, people would guard their tombs. These tomb guards built huts near the graves and gradually settled there, multiplying and forming small villages over time."

When we go out to collect goods, we often visit many remote villages. These places are the easiest to find first-hand good stuff, as well as some secrets passed down through generations of tomb keepers by word of mouth.

My brother explained with a smile, "Look, Xiling Village might also be a village of tomb guardians. However, the map shows a gas station in Xiling Village, but there's no specific route leading into it... Let's go to the gas station and ask around."

The gas station near Xiling Village is very small and desolate. Inside the gas station, there's usually a small supermarket, at the very least a small convenience store selling things like water and tissues. But here, the shelves are almost empty, with only one box of bottled water on display.

The only employee saw us and walked out of the house, lazily asking, "What number"

"Nine-seven, two hundred," my brother said as he got out of the car.

This is a gas station, he's not stupid enough to smoke here and give people the impression that he does. He just got out of the car to chat with an employee for a few minutes.

“Are you also here to explore the old village and hunt for treasure” the employee asked with a drawl.

"Huh No, we're here to look for someone." my brother replied.

"Oh... There's a fork in the road ahead. Turn into that path to get to the new village... If you want to go to the old village, just keep going straight."

My dad just gave me the address as Xiling Village, he didn't say anything about new or old villages. He probably doesn't know the difference either. But the person I contacted who claims to be from the Hong family, gave me the address of Old Village.

"Why are you moving away" My brother tried to find out.

Could it be that some evil spirit is at work

“The government allocated land for housing construction, of course everyone scrambled to move in. The government built each family a small three-story house and allocated new land. They said they were going to build a factory over there by the old village, but it’s been ten years and nothing has come up… Well, that's enough.” He mumbled a few more words.

As we were about to leave, he reminded us, "Things get pretty desolate in the old village at night. You young folks shouldn't go looking for trouble there. There are rumors of some outdoor hiking groups getting lost there before, and nobody knows if they were ever found... If you want to eat, you should head to the new village where there are farmhouses offering meals."

Getting into the car, my brother without a word drove towards the old village. He chuckled and said, "I smell a business opportunity... The state is definitely covering something up. Their excuse about building factories is getting old."

I speechless said, "We are here to find the old immortal to avert your ill luck, can you please solve this first"

"Heh heh, our family is a Yin merchant after all. Besides, we have nothing to fear now. We need to earn more money so that our plan can be carried out!"
