Chapter 5 The Wake
"Don't scare me!" Jasha's voice trembled.
"Haha, it's just scaring you. Look, everyone has a ghost in their hearts." Wu Yue laughed.
"You damn girl, you dare to scare me."
The two of them had a quarrel for a while and each slept with peace of mind. Jia Shasha and Wu Yue had the same bed, Yang Li and Lin Xibei had the same bed.
Before dawn, noisy voices rang in the yard. Chen Ziyan rubbed his swelling head, got up from the bed, looked at the sleeping fat man, put on his clothes, and walked downstairs.
In early autumn, it is thin and cool, and the fog in the mountains is stacked layer by layer.
More than a dozen people in the yard, except Ding Fei and Du Lin, were all unfamiliar faces. Chen Ziyan stood at the door and listened for a while before he realized that all the people who came were the children of the deceased.
After a while, a group of people entered the hall, knelt on the ground, and cried everywhere, but there were no tears on everyone's face. Instead, the children beside him fell on the ground, and tears were all over their cheeks.
The creaking sound of the wooden stairs sounded, and Chen Ziyan looked back and saw Zhao Yuan walking downstairs in a coat, "It's so early!" Chen Ziyan ignored him and carefully examined the man in front of him, but it was not yesterday.
Feelings.
"who are they?"
"This is Mr. Zhao Yuan, specially invited by the master. This is a child who has been lost when traveling and traveling. There are several people upstairs. This is the master's youngest son Zhou Ziliang." Ding Fei introduced to both parties.
"Did my father invite him?" Zhou Ziliang questioned.
"Mr. Zhou did invite him in front of him, and if Mr. Zhao was not present, the will could not be established." said the man with a file bag and black-framed eyes.
From the conversation outside just now, Chen Ziyan knew that this was lawyer Deng Xiang.
"Since it's my father's intention, Mr. Zhao will stay here for a few days! I am Zhou Zifeng, the eldest son of Zhou Banshan, hello."
Zhao Yuan nodded and shook hands with Zhou Zifeng.
The creaking sound of the stairs and laughter sounded. When a few girls saw the people standing in the hall, they were all stunned. They walked down slowly and leaned against Chen Ziyan.
"These are children who are lost in the distance." Ding Fei said to Zhou Zifeng on the side. Zhou Zifeng floated with Lin Xibei standing at the back, his eyes glowing.
A gust of wind blew, and rain fell in the yard, wetting the wreath placed outside...
Several girls were worried when they looked at the rain outside. Chen Ziyan and Zhao Yuan's eyebrows rose at the same time, and they were both seen by each other.
According to the will in front of Mr. Zhou, everyone had arrived. Ding Fei began to introduce to Zhao Yuan one by one: Zhou Banshan’s second wife Lin Mei, then Zhou was sitting in turn.
Zhou Zifeng, the eldest son of the Banshan Mountain, and Zhou Zifeng’s wife Wang Zixi,
Opposite to grandson Zhou Xingbo and Zhou Zifeng are second daughter Zhou Anqi and youngest son Zhou Ziliang.
Lawyer Deng Xiang stood aside with Chen Ziyan and others, opposite the Zhou family nanny Du Lin and the housekeeper Ding Fei. Everyone was unaware of Zhou Banshan's will and kept holding it in Deng Xiang's hand. It just made people unable to think about it.
What I understand is: Zhou Banshan added a condition to his will, and all those who have a share in the will must be in the Zhou family.
The ancestral home kept him in a vigil for seven days. If anyone left halfway, his will status would be cancelled.
"How could my father have such conditions? Don't he know that I have been most afraid of spending the night here since I was a child?" Zhou Anqi was the first to complain.
"If you are afraid, just leave! No one stops you. Zhou Ziliang muttered.
"Ziliang, what are you talking about?" Lin Mei on the opposite side exclaimed.
"I am only responsible for reading the Master's will. These are detailed legal documents and I will strictly follow Mr. Zhou's requirements. I hope you can abide by Mr. Zhou's last wishes and keep a watch for seven days. If you don't want to, you can
Propose it." Deng Xiang continued.
The hall was empty and no one spoke.
After pausing, his daughter-in-law Wang Zixi suddenly said: "Lawyer Deng, can I ask, what is Mr. Zhao's role here?"
"I am a warlock, which is what people call Mr. Ghost Catching. Sorry, I am also entrusted by Mr. Zhou. I hope everyone will not mind." Zhao Yuan revealed his true identity.
After Zhao Yuan's identity was exposed, everyone was silent. Lin Xibei, who was standing behind Chen Ziyan, opened his mouth. Except for Zhao Xingbo, everyone else knew what the warlock did. Zhou Banshan has always been a very particular person in Feng Shui.
Many traditions have been preserved for the arrangement of the Zhou family’s ancestral home.
Now after his death, he also found a warlock to guard the door with his children, which made Wang Zixi, who never believed in ghosts and gods, feel really uneasy. Du Lin had already prepared breakfast, and the Zhou family members, Zhao Yuan and Deng Xiang were
The next room was dining, while Chen Ziyan and his party were invited to the side room they had yesterday.
"It's not that rich officials and gentry talk about the big secrets, and they also isolated us. I think the old man's death must be strange." Jia Shasha said dissatisfied with the food.
"I think it's like this family. They're sitting together, without any kindness, just like enemies." Wu Yue agreed with it.
After saying that, he looked at Chen Ziyan and immediately regretted it.
Yang Li pounded the rice in the bowl, "It has nothing to do with us, it's just that the rain keeps falling, we can't leave, people die in this place, and it's so weird, I'm quite afraid of it."
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Chen Ziyan's brows, Lin Xibei asked carefully.
"Nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well last night!"
The weirdness of these people is common sense, but what Chen Ziyan is thinking about is Zhao Yuan's eyes yesterday.
"By the way, Sister Shasha, is there a wealthy businessman in the city also called Zhou Banshan?" Wu Yue suddenly asked.
"It seems that there is one, the chairman of Yutong Real Estate, it's not the same person, right!"
"Yutong Real Estate?" Chen Ziyan muttered in his heart, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have heard of it.
The rain had not stopped until noon. The fat man woke up and got up in a daze from the bed. He asked Chen Ziyan, who was staring at the sky outside, and was dazed, "What time is it?"
“It’s already noon.”
"Ah, that's not that breakfast is gone! No, I have to find something to eat quickly, otherwise I will lose weight if I get hungry." The fat man climbed up as soon as he pulled his shoes and ran out.
"Wow, it's so big, it's so fragrant!" The fat man who had just opened the door pierced his head on Yang Li's chest and said casually.
"Bang!"
"It's so comfortable, it would be great if you could hit me like this every day."
"I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people." Jashasha glanced at the fat man, pulled Wu Yue and walked inside, and Lin Xibei followed him in.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you." Yang Li blushed and explained.
"It's okay, I didn't mean to tuck it into your arms." The fat man touched his face, "Oh, no, I have to get some food first and come back to chat with you."
Yang Li stomped her feet, scolded the fat man, and entered the house.
"Beautiful boy, my Yueyue misses you. I want to come and see you. Why don't you applaud and welcome me quickly?" Jia Shasha pushed Wu Yue to Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan looked back and then continued to look at the sky.
"Why is your brother like this? He looks like a piece of ice. Jashasha muttered at Lin Xibei in displeasure.
"I found that you have always liked to look at the sky. What's in the sky?" Wu Yue bit her lip and said something for a long time.
"Nothing, I just like it."
After looking at the sky for so many years, I have seen geese flying and eagles singing, summer sun and winter snow. Is it really just because I like it?
