Chapter 70: The Silkworm Road [4]

Early in the morning, when it was cloudy andrainy, Zhang Qiu called two taxis for the trip to the mountaintop of the littlefat ghost’s villa.

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

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

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

“He’s homesick. You’ll have to be moreconsiderate.” Zhang Qiu touched his son’s head and laughed.

Xiao Jiang pouted and unhappily said, “Childrenare so troublesome, always crying. Daddy, do you think little brother will cryas well?”

Everyone was present, so Zhang Qiu was a littleembarrassed being asked that. “How do you know it’s a little brother andnot little sister?” How nice to have a little girl ah!

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

“Let’s not talk about that.” Beinglooked at with somewhat identical look (like ZYS) by Li Shu next to him, ZhangQiu quickly turned aside the topic and said, “Let’s first help XiaoPang.” [Little fatty/plump]

Having heard that, Xiao Jiang’s little tiger’steeth emerged and he said cheerfully, “Daddy, you said we can’t nicknamesomeone else.”

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

Yue Le.

No one had spoken, but Zhang Qiu heard thename. He looked at Xiao Jiang’s wrist. Xiao Jiang nodded his head. “Hesaid it himself.”

“Okay, first send little——” ZhangYuShui almost said little fat ghost, but because of the hit under the arm byPixian Hui Wang, he hurriedly closed his mouth before saying: “Send XiaoYue home first.”

This villa area basically took European-stylebuildings, but there were also some part not exactly the same. Yue Family’s housewas obviously much low-key than Gao Family’s. The doorbell had been rung, andsoon 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 XiaoYue, that is, Yue Le——” Zhang Yushui had not finish his words, and therewas a woman inside who heard Yue Le’s name rushed out and looked haggard. Shegrasped Zhang Yushui’s hand tightly. “Yue Le, is Yue Le, does he have somethingfor you to do?”

Zhang YuShui was about to open his mouthwhen a man, about 25-26 year old, dressed in formal clothes, reached out and heldthe 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 andnever knew you. Don’t stir my mother up with my little brother’s name.”

“This place is not suitable fortalking. We really have no malice.” Zhang Qiu hurriedly uttered. “Youwon’t lose by listening to what we’re going to say.”

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

Yue QinCang swept over Zhang Qiu and theothers. He hesitated before nodded, “Come in, I warn you, don’t think of anydeceptive tricks.”

They followed into the living room. ZhangQiu found that it was cold and quiet here. The decorations on the furniturewere 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 sawthrough Yue QinCang’s expression that he was guarding against them like he wasguarding against thieves. Plus, what drinking tea? The sooner they were done,the sooner they gone.

Zhang YuShui also meant this and asked the maidto pull down the curtains. He held the Tao talisman paper in his hand and YueQinCang sneered, “Cheap trick of scamming.” Zhang YuShui did not sayanything. The talisman paper suddenly ignited and in the empty air of livingroom slowly appeared a figure of a chubby child.

“My Lele!” The originally stable womanon the sofa promptly rushed over upon seeing the figure, but she flung into theair. Suddenly feeling helpless, she asked, “Lele, what’s wrong withLele?”

At this moment, Yue QinCang, who had showndisdain 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’sweak in spirit. Early reincarnation is good for him. Before he dies, he had apersistance 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’sonly eight years old; he’s only eight years old. Blame me; blame me for notlooking after him. When the car came, I should have rushed up…”

Zhang YuShui shook his head. “A deadperson can’t come back to life. Don’t make him persist.”

Yue QinCang came to his senses and with a facefull of unbelievable, thanked him (ZYS), then persuaded his mother. The womangradually accepted the fact that her youngest son had died. For more than tendays, her thoughts and regrets poured out, she wanted to hold Yue Le but shehad 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 careof mama.” Yue Le said, like a little adult.

When the Yue’s mother and son finishedtalking, 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 youngestson from reincarnating, because that was the best thing for him.

After Yue Le left, the woman passed throughemotional ups and downa. Right now her spirit was not good, she was somewhatdizzy. Yue QinCang helped her into her room to rest, and soon came out with asincere attitude to thank them.

“It’s a helping while we are at it. Ifthere 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 caraccident was an accidental, but these days I always feel it was not right.”

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

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

It’s a Jade Bi again.

Zhang Qiu frowned and felt that they hadfallen into a strange circle again. He could not help looking a glance at LiShu. The tranquil looking Li Shu suddenly moved his line of sight (to him). Onhis 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 assoon as he looked up, he saw ErSao staring at him with a smile. He immediatelyput on a thick face and acted like nothing happened. The one who had a moment inheat definitely was not him. Blamed Li Shu for his too beautiful appearance!

“A month ago, my father died of asudden heart attack. When my mother packed up my father’s things, she foundthat the piece of jade that my father treasured was missing.” Yue QinCangrubbed his forehead, apparently fatigued by the successive changes in the pasttwo 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 thatmy family has not been very peaceful since the appearance of the Jade Bi.”

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

“After my father died, my mother becamesuperstitious and invited Buddhist monk to chant sutras.” Yue QinCangfrowned and then asked, “Does it have anything to do with this?”

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

“Please.”

Zhang Qiu and the others followed Zhang YuShuiwalking around the Yue’s house. Unexpectly, there was a big swimming pondbehind the house.

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

“Was it the monk——”

“You should be glad that your motherinvited the monk to chant sutras.” Zhang YuShui looked up at the top ofthe 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 escapeeven 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 backyardswimming pond, did he found the problem. The water was cloudy, and there wasstill the Yin and evil spirits’ breath left.

How did this approach look just like GaoFamily’s dealing with Lin Family?

Zhang Qiu looked at Zhang Yushui, and ZhangYushi nodded. Yue QinCang was not dumb. Seeing them communicating like that, heguessed that they knew something. Even without being questioned, Zhang Yushuidid not hide it from him, “This technique is the same as Gao Family’s dealingwith Lin Family. I have no evidence in my hand. You and your mother should moveout as soon as possible. But first, don’t inadvertently alert the enemy.”

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

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

“Let’s go back first.” Li Shusaid.

They took taxis to go back. It was alreadymid-noon, and they went to eat first. After a while, Zhang Yushui received acall. After he was done talking, he laughed. “It’s a coincidence. Big Brotherknows I’m in Chengdu and he had just received a job but couldn’t get away. Hemade me help him to take a look on Fengshui. It happens to be from the LinHousehold.”

It’s really a coincidence.

Anyway, Zhang Household was well-known onthe road (for Taoism) and was the Celestial Master Zhang’s descendant accordingto legend. The rich people in Hong Kong had invited Zhang Sanlian to visit for Fengshuimeasurement. The Lin Household had had a bad career recently, and theirdescendants were not in good health. The Lin’s parents were superstitious andsent people to inquire about it. Naturally, it’s reasonable to ask for the mostfamous one on the road.

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

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

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

But then again, why did he ever imagine thatLi Shu forced him to wear woman’s clothes, and then he (ZQ) refused to say whathe 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.
