Chapter 65: Meet Again

  Boarding the train back home, he muttered to himself all the time. Once I get back, I'll quit my job. Even if I have to travel all over China and wear out my legs, I must find Xiao Bai.

  Yesterday night, Xu Qi woke up You Wu to treat his injury, just like I thought. Afraid that You Wu couldn't withstand the blow, he didn't tell him the truth. He said that Xiaobai still hadn't forgiven You Wu, and that coffin flew away inexplicably. Xiaobai took San Sao to chase after it and also told You Wu to forget about her.

  Yu just smiled bitterly at this. Determined to apologize to Xiao Bai in person, he asked Xu Qi where the coffin might have flown off to.

  Where can I fly? It's buried in the dwarf mountain of Guanshici Village!

  But Xu Qi casually made up a story. What's outside the mountain, cave outside the cave, Mangshan Xiong Wang Mausoleum, Cangshan Tian Shi Fu. Wherever humans can't reach is where coffins might go, so Yu Mo had a meticulous plan to have me accompany him on a journey across China...

  Seeing him being kept in the dark yet still full of confidence, I genuinely feel happy for him.

  In the end, Kang Jiuxiang stayed in Guanshici Village. She said there were too many women around me and although she didn't mind, those women couldn't tolerate her. Even if she followed me home, it wouldn't have a good outcome.

  One is quiet and gentle, two is peaceful and simple.

  I said Wenjing is my cousin, she's still young now and can't tell her feelings for me apart, she'll understand when she grows up. And that girl has a soft personality, I'm even worried you'll bully her. As for Ansu, it's even more absurd, I have no relation with her, what right does she have to interfere with my life?

  Kang Jiuxiang insisted on not agreeing, she said some things, I will understand later.

  At that time, I was too lazy to talk nonsense with her again, rushed out of the house to find Xu Qi, and asked him to knock Kang Jiuxiang unconscious, thinking of a way to send her to my home.

  Ke Xuzi said a few words of reason, he said that after all, Kang Jiuxiang had a knot in her heart. Although Huang Lao said that I provoked him first, but to say it clearly, it was me who followed Liu Weimin and forced him to be homeless, Kang Jiuxiang couldn't convince herself to leave with the enemy of her adoptive father.

  So let her stay in Guanxi Village for now, Xu Qi will help take care of her for a while. After three to five months, if she still thinks about me, she will naturally contact me on her own initiative.

  I anxiously asked Xi Qi, what if Kang Jiuxiang runs away with another man?

  Xu Qi asked me with a profound meaning: "What do you think should be done? Catch her back and soak her in a pig cage? You'd better figure out who Kang Jiuxiang is to you first!"

  Hearing this, I was slightly stunned and it wasn't until after a while of thinking alone that I understood what Xu Qi meant.

  I have nothing to do with Kang Jiuxiang!

  It was she who didn't want to stay in Guan Cun Village, so she sent herself to me. Later, I rescued her from Jiu Ge's hands, and Kang Jiuxiang was moved and had feelings for me. However, I always told her that after she experienced the outside world with its wine and song, then consider whether or not she wanted to be with me.

  Since I've spoken first, if Kang Jiuxiang follows another man, then she has nothing to do with me!

  But my heart is aching, and it's the kind of irritation that someone wants to snatch away my most precious toy. To be honest, I've been treating her as my private property, a charming little woman who insists on following me and doesn't mind me finding other women. From the very beginning, I had the intention of making her mine in my subconscious.

  So, it's best for everyone to take some time apart and calm down.

  On the train, he kept comparing his hand-drawn map nonstop, one minute asking me to go to Kunlun Mountain with him, and the next wanting to go to Luoyang in Henan. He was excited as if he could find Xiao Bai in a second. Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked him if he knew my situation.

  He glanced around cautiously, seeing that the other passengers were not paying attention to us, and said in a low voice: "I know, but Master Xu said you're no different from a living person now, only that you'll die at any moment. Anyway, you're going to die, so why don't you come with me to find Little White Sister? If there's any danger, you can also help me scout ahead... Don't scold me, actually Master Xu told me something else not to tell you, will you accompany me to find Little White Sister?"

  Laughing coldly in her heart, she nodded solemnly on her face and let him hurry up and tell the truth.

  "You have a ghostly face carved on your chest, and it's unclear what its purpose is, but it might be related to what Liu Weimin is looking for. The dragon pulse has circulated in your body, which means you'll have incredibly good luck from now on, the kind where you can pick up money just by walking. Therefore, Xu Daolong suspects that Liu Weimin's true intention is to use you as a guide to find what he wants."

  I took a deep breath, and based on my intuition, I also thought that Liu Weimin was thinking of this idea. That night, it was my blood splattered on the coffin that made it open automatically, which made me think of the blood recognition.

  The only things that can witness my family's history are the two ancestral houses, the kind that would make a zombie cry. They were supposedly passed down by my grandfather's grandfather. If someone in my ancestry had the qualifications to sleep in a golden coffin, I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me.

  Liu Weimin's plan was known only to himself, so let's not worry about it for now. However, You Yu's plan was based on Xu Qi's lies, and that coffin was indeed buried in Guan Cun Village, but we couldn't find it, and even if we did, we wouldn't be able to open it, so I tried to deceive him with a lot of nonsense and quickly changed the subject, asking him about selling his sister.

  His face was wrapped in gauze, and his complexion couldn't be seen clearly, but his tone suddenly became much lower, and his eyes were filled with thick sadness. He said that things were simple: his grandfather had a comrade-in-arms who, in the 90s, for some unknown reason, entrusted his granddaughter to Grandfather Yu, and then disappeared along with his whole family. At that time, the girl was nine years old, and Yu Mo was three years old, so she went to their home and became like an older sister to Yu Mo, just like how I took care of Wen Jing.

  It's not that he was abused as a child, but this young lady in Youmo's house was extremely pampered. In Youmo's words, it wasn't about taking care of him, but rather giving him to the young lady as a toy. Years later, when Youmo grew up, he couldn't stand this sister and one day she took him out to play, leading him to a junkyard where they exchanged her for three dollars.

  I asked him how he changed it?

  You Mou didn't say that the two of them were passing by a pawnshop on the road, You Mou went in and said he wanted to sell his sister, the boss gave him three dollars, You Mou then let his sister wait there, he went home to get some things, after leaving he never came back, and even told his family members that his sister got lost alone.

  Because of this matter, You Mosheng was almost beaten to death by his family members. He said that at the time he was young and didn't think he had done anything wrong, but instead hated the little girl even more. As he grew older and gained a sense of right and wrong, he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He could only force himself to forget about the matter until he met Shifu Po, when they were cooking telephone porridge together, and Shifu Po told him about her own life story.

  The boss of the station thought they were two little kids having a tantrum, and even called the little girl inside to drink water. He jokingly told her about Yu Mo's plans, waiting for her elders to come pick her up. But the sensitive little girl ran away on her own, begging for food everywhere, and was later taken in by an old lady.

  Xiaobai's name is very ordinary, Bai Juan. After she told her life story, Yu Mo was holding the phone and crying uncontrollably, but still pretended to be calm and looked down on Bai Juan's brother, while also saying that he would take care of her for the rest of his life instead of his brother.

  I asked You Wu, which one are you two playing?

  "You see, I pretended to mistake her for someone else and even showed her my work ID, thinking that my charm had conquered her. But as soon as she saw the name, she knew who I was and thought I had been searching for her all these years. So I played along, and she played along with me too. Later on, it became simpler, she revealed her true identity just to let me know that she had recognized me. But what could I say at that time? Was I supposed to tell her that I had deceived her again? All I could do was pretend to be clueless, but unexpectedly, I still got caught and Sister Bai's heart was thoroughly hurt by me."

  Regardless of the strange looks from outsiders, I lay on the table and cried. My heart felt a pang of sadness, feeling that this pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks had truly suffered too many twists and turns.

  When the train arrived, Xiaomei called and said to meet at the old Chinese doctor's house. I wanted to give Wenjing a surprise, so I didn't notify her, but just let Youmo contact her to confirm she was home before going to find Xiaomei.

  After the old Chinese doctor passed away, according to local customs, someone had to stay at home before the 49th day after his death. However, he died under strange circumstances, and with Xiaomei instigating from the side, the old doctor's wife went to their children's home, which made it more convenient for us to talk.

  Youmo and Xiao Mei were junior high school classmates. The two of them even had a relationship back then, but looking at it now, that was just childish play.

  Yu Wu never had a puppy love, the girlfriends he's had could form a whole battalion. He once said that when his grandfather was in high school, after graduation, he went straight into the army. When asked about Yu Wu's thoughts on this, he said: "I don't really care, but if I join the army, what about my eight girlfriends? Why don't you use your connections to get them to join too and keep me company?"

  His grandfather was directly afflicted with high blood pressure and thoroughly lost hope for this grandson.

  Xiao Mei is a doctor, not particularly beautiful but with a fiery figure. From afar, she has a cold face and an air of deep-seated grievances towards us. However, upon seeing You Mo all bandaged up like a mummy, she's still very concerned. You Mo says that he was following me to save my cousin, who was disfigured by a ghost. Xiao Mei immediately wants to hit me, crying and wailing that I'm a scourge of humanity, having harmed her grandfather and nearly gotten You Mo killed.

  The most troublesome thing was that it brought up Xiao Mei's sad past, and she led us into the compound with a gloomy face. I had originally wanted to ask her about Liu Wei Min, but I had to give up.

  The old Chinese doctor lived on the 19th floor. Xiao Mei opened the door and went in, while Yu Wu and I took a deep breath together, mustered up our courage, and stepped inside. As soon as we entered the room, we saw an elderly man sitting on the sofa chatting with Xiao Mei. He was tall and stately, around 60 years old, with a gentle and calm expression on his face.

  We both shouted in surprise and turned around to run.

  This damn thing is exactly Liu Weimin, with the same face and the same build, even that black Zhongshan suit was once worn by Liu Weimin.
