Chapter 115 Clearance

The house of the matriarch's family is a building with a small courtyard. There is a spacious dam from the house to the courtyard gate. There are two locks for the building and the courtyard gate.

There are roses planted against the wall in the yard, and a few of them are in full bloom at this time, and the unique fragrance of the flowers is faintly wafting.

The door of the house next to the door god of suppressing evil spirits was tightly closed, and there was a lock hanging on it, but the lock was only hanging in vain.

Shen Qingcheng stretched out his hand to fiddle with it. Rural people do have the habit of not locking their doors, but this is obviously not true in the patriarch's house.

Their family hides too many secrets.

"Is this how Huang Pingwei stole the book that day?" He would never have thought that the other party let him in on purpose.

Shen Qingcheng smiled, and twisted the lock to open the door, but Lu Qi grabbed him, "I'll come."

When it's okay, Lu Qi likes to walk behind him, oh, not behind him now, now Lu Qi prefers to walk with him by the hand.

But the habit of standing in front of him has not changed.

Shen Qingcheng stepped aside obediently, there are no ghosts here that are not his home field.

"Don't stay too far away from me." Lu Qi said again after he backed away.

Shen Qingcheng simply stepped forward and grabbed his clothes.

Zeng Lingling said that the patriarchs of all dynasties kept the beauty beads in the basement, so the two entered the house with a clear purpose to find the basement.

According to the explicit or covert clues left by the matriarch, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi quickly found the entrance to the basement. At this time, it was less than 10 minutes since they turned into the yard.

The entrance to the basement is in the cellar next to the kitchen, which is made of square bricks. Sweet potatoes have been stored in it, and the smell is very good.

Lu Qi knocked on the wall with the handle of the knife. There was a locked door on this wall. The back of the wall was empty and the space was not small.

Shen Qingcheng was eagerly waiting for his boyfriend to take him through the wall, but Lu Qi dragged him out of the cellar. He wondered, "Isn't this?"

"That's it," Lu Qi said as the two hid in the kitchen next to them, "If the entrance is blocked, it will be difficult for us to get out."

He recalled that the only exit to the cellar was an iron plate that could be opened and closed. If the iron plate was closed and heavy objects were placed on it, it would be really difficult for people inside to get out.

"So we wait for the matriarch to show up now?"

"Ah."

They waited for nearly half an hour for the matriarch and the young man to appear, but they didn't have anything in their hands. They didn't go to the cellar at all, but came directly to the kitchen.

The most important thing is that the young man holds a gun in his hand.

broken.

Shen Qingcheng immediately understood what was going on.

Their every move is actually under the surveillance of the other party, including entering the cellar, leaving the cellar, and hiding in the kitchen again.

The matriarch saw it, which is why she waited so long.

She waited for him and Lu Qi to wait impatiently, waited for them to change their minds, think that she and the young man had indeed left, and then let down their vigilance and went into the cellar again.

At that time, she and the young man will be able to catch the turtle in the urn, which is much smaller than them shooting directly.

Bah, why should I compare myself and Lu Qi to turtles.

However, the patience of the matriarch was obviously not very good, and she was the first to get impatient.

It is also possible that she is not impatient, but that noon is coming soon, when the young man has to leave to deliver food, she has to come out early.

The matriarch in the yard stood still, the majesty between her brows looked more indifferent at this time, and the young man with the same expression as her approached them step by step with a gun in his hand.

Shen Qingcheng hid behind the wall and looked up at Lu Qi worriedly. He himself was fine, anyway, ghosts are not afraid of being shot.

But Lu Qi is different.

"Don't be afraid, holding a gun doesn't mean you can use it." The man said calmly.

He tried to poke the long knife out of the window, and the iron edge of the window was shot immediately, and a puff of green smoke and gunpowder wafted out.

However, Lu Qi has already tested that the opponent's marksmanship is not even a pass. Of course, this is based on the standards of his team.

After that, Lu Qi didn't do anything else, and hid on the other side under the cover of the wall under the window. He put a finger to his lips, signaling Shen Qingcheng to be quiet.

Shen Qingcheng nodded.

The people outside got closer and closer, and a black gun barrel came in through the gap in the window.

Seeing this, Lu Qi decisively stretched out his hand to hold the barrel of the gun and pointed upwards, and stabbed the long knife fiercely through the same gap. At that moment, Shen Qingcheng heard the sound of the sharp blade piercing his body.

It's been a long time since Lu Qi made a move, and I forgot how powerful my boyfriend is.

The hand holding the barrel of the gun pulled hard, and the gun fell into Lu Qi's hand. He turned the gun and pointed it outside.

The long knife hit the young man's chest, and the young man knelt on the ground without support, and blood gushed out from his chest and mouth.

The matriarch who had been standing in the distance had disappeared.

When Shen Qingcheng came out and saw the young man's body, he still couldn't recover. It was clearly a horror dungeon, how did it become a gunfight dungeon?

There are only two ghosts in the dungeon, Xu Sen is in a daze and doesn't know anything, Zeng Lingling is lucid and focused on raising children.

He suddenly noticed something abnormal. Are the ghosts in this dungeon too weak?

Not only weak, but very few.

Lu Qi who retracted the long knife saw that he was in a daze, and took a step to block the corpse, "Scared?"

Shen Qingcheng looked at him and shook his head, Lu Qi's chin was stained with blood, he reached out to wipe it off for him.

"What? Let me go!"

"Don't play tricks, come out!"

The voice of the matriarch came from outside. The calm tone in the past was now exasperated. Judging from the volume of the voice, it seemed that she was approaching here.

Lu Qi pulled Shen Qingcheng behind him, tightened his hand holding the long knife, and looked at the door warily.

In less than a minute, the matriarch appeared in the line of sight of the two of them, in a strange posture, and was grabbed by an invisible thing holding the waistband of her trousers.

"Zeng Lingling?" Shen Qingcheng asked without opening his yin and yang eyes.

The matriarch froze when she heard the name, "You guys know a lot."

Shen Qingcheng didn't speak, and raised his chin to signal her to look at the ground, then the matriarch lowered her head and saw a pair of feet showing in the place that was originally empty.

"!" She forgot to breathe for a moment.

Zeng Lingling, who showed her figure, threw the matriarch to the ground hard. Thanks to the blessing of ghost power from the lord, she can finally take care of this person who ruined her family with her own hands.

She looked at the embarrassed person on the ground, the person was already old, but she was still young.

Zeng Lingling laughed, "Bai Mei, long time no see."

Bai Mei stared at her with wide eyes, "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

There seems to be a personal grievance between the two?

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi handed over the matriarch to Zeng Lingling, and after resolving possible accidents, they re-entered the cellar.

This time Lu Qi brought Shen Qingcheng to "break through the wall".

The entire basement was bigger than they had imagined, and it could almost be called a Museum of Beauty Beads. There were many wooden shelves inside, and several small wooden boxes were placed on each wooden shelf.

The matriarch Bai Mei said that every year, only the most perfect pearls will be selected as beauty beads. Now it seems that it is just a means of hunger marketing, and at the same time, she is afraid that too many beauty beads will flow out and people will discover the secret.

Shen Qingcheng had been curious about the beauty beads for a long time, he casually opened the nearest box, the beauty beads inside were really different from what they usually saw.

It is not the difference in size and appearance, but a kind of illusory thing. If ordinary pearls are dead, then these beauty beads are "alive".

The one in Shen Qingcheng's hand was a dancer holding a pipa and dancing, it looked as if it was about to fly out of his palm in the next second.

He opened another one, and there was a round bead in the box, but looking at it against the light, one could vaguely see a beautiful woman inside smiling, and her expression could change with the rotation.

Shen Qingcheng was amazed when he saw it, "Shouldn't this thing be replicated in reality?"

"The second type cannot."

Picking up the beauty bead in his palm and putting it back into the box, Lu Qi pulled him inside, "Let's go inside and have a look."

There is a square table in the middle of these dense wooden frames, and there is only a wooden box on the square table, which is often used by people to see the degree of patina.

Lu Qi split the lock with a knife and opened the lid. Unexpectedly, it was not a beauty bead inside, but a stack of picture books very similar to the one Huang Pingwei stole.

The content of the book is also very similar to that book. It is a story of the down-and-out protagonist who achieved success through "hard work", and this "hard work" is also related to people.

They took out all the picture books and found a diary under the wooden box.

This diary confirmed many of their guesses, and at the same time answered some things that didn't make sense in the past.

The patriarch's surname was Bai, who got inspiration from the picture book at the beginning, and it was very likely that he was Bai Mei's father.

Zeng Lingling broke the secret of their pearl cultivation that night. Patriarch Bai didn't think of killing them at first, but it was Patriarch Bai's wife, Bai Mei's mother, who wanted to kill them.

Zeng Lingling was frightened and gave birth prematurely. She was called to deliver Zeng Lingling. Before leaving, Bai Mei asked her with red eyes: Will she never have the chance to be with Xu Sen again after having a child?

If there was a chance, as long as Zeng Lingling had an accident during the production process and Zeng Lingling saw something she shouldn't have seen, she couldn't keep it.

Patriarch Bai's wife didn't tell anyone about this matter, but Patriarch Bai, who is so shrewd, soon discovered something was wrong from her reaction in the next few days.

He doesn't think his wife did anything wrong, on the contrary, he thinks his wife handled it well.

After solving the future problems, the daughter can continue to be with Xu Sen, although he doesn't like Xu Sen, the son-in-law who almost caused trouble to the village.

It's a pity that Xu Sen didn't stay with Bai Mei as they wished. Even though the people around him advised him that the child was still young and needed a mother, he didn't want to.

Later, the pearls in the village really opened up the market. Patriarch Bai was afraid that such a life would not last long because "the poor become rich".

After all, the pearls in the village are good, but they are not irreplaceable. He needs a unique sign in the village, so that even if he dies, the villagers can continue to develop their business.

So Patriarch Bai thought of getting a "beauty bead".

After discussing this matter with Baimei's mother, an accident happened before he could carry it out. Xu Sen suspected the cause of Zeng Lingling's death. He had to kill Xu Sen, but Zeng Lingling went mad and killed him after seeing this scene.

After the death of patriarch Bai, Bai Mei took over the position of patriarch. Her mother helped her in the early stage, and Mrs. Bai took Xu Lin, who was less than 5 years old, up the mountain.

Throwing the corpse into the pond can be said to be a water burial, but it is against the law to profit from the corpse, and they need a scapegoat.

Only Mrs. Bai knows how to raise beautiful pearls, and Xu Lin will be taught to be the best pearl raiser.

The diary was written by Mrs. Bai. She had seen too many corpses during her lifetime, which caused her to have a mental breakdown, so she wrote the diary as a vent.

After Mrs. Bai's death, Bai Mei hid this diary here as a relic.

Mrs. Bai died at the hands of 15-year-old Xu Lin.
