" Brother, I've always been troubled by this matter. There was a time when it disturbed my mind and made me feel uneasy. But today, in front of Father's mourning hall, I don't want to hide it anymore. I've had enough of telling one lie and ten lies to smooth things over. Why don't I explain myself today and leave the rest to fate?" When Meng Lin spoke, tears seemed to be swirling in his eyes.
"What happened?" Azurepeak was even more surprised.
" Brother, I probably shouldn't call you brother because I'm really not your sister, Xia Menglin." Menglin tried his best to control his emotions as he spoke in a very calm tone.
Azurepeak was shocked and did not say anything. His eyes were bigger than a cow's eyes. After a long time, he used the back of his hand to test the temperature of his sister's forehead. He said that she did not have a fever.
Meng Lin had expected that his brother would not believe him easily. He pushed his brother's hand away and said,""I'm not sick. I knew you wouldn't believe me.”He seemed a little unhappy.
Azurepeak saw that his sister was unhappy, so he coaxed her,"Father hasn't been buried yet. Let's not joke around in front of Father's mourning hall. Can we respect him?"
Meng Lin really did not know what to say. He put on a nonchalant expression."Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. In the future, don't ask me why I felt strange when I came back from overseas. You won't believe me even if I tell you the answer now."
Azurepeak felt that his sister might be willful, but he was also afraid that it would not be good for his sister to get angry and argue in front of the mourning hall, so he pretended to go along with her and said,"Fine, fine. Tell me, if you're not Xia Menglin, then who are you? Or why do you look exactly like my sister?"
Meng Lin saw that her brother was getting serious, so she told him her true identity, how she gave him the facial mask, how she entered an art gallery, how she found photos from the Republic of China in the art gallery, and how she transmigrated to the Xia residence. She looked at her brother with a dubious gaze and said that the " wireless phone " was actually a communication tool from my era. Her brother had seen it before, and this was enough to prove it. Also, Wen Hui had talked to her brother before. Why didn't Wen Hui understand what her brother was saying? It was because the two of you were from two different eras. Why did Ya Shuo care so much about Chuangu Mountain when he told the story last time? He told him everything from the beginning to the end. Azurepeak listened to the whole story with a serious expression, then a surprised expression, and then a blank expression. When the story was finished, the east was already white and the sky was almost bright.
Azurepeak was stunned for a long time." Your story sounds so real. Could it be that there's really transmigration?"”
Meng Lin nodded and told his brother that he had to find the ancient mountain because it was his only hope of returning. Before she returned to that era, she still hoped that Azurepeak would treat her as a younger sister. Azurepeak asked where his sister was. Menglin said that he didn't know, but when he woke up, he was already Xia Menglin. Meng Qilin begged his brother to keep it a secret and let him return to the 21st century safely. Azurepeak smiled and said that he would keep it a secret and help Meng Qilin return. At this moment, the sky was already bright.
" It's dawn, they should get up. The funeral is today, so go back to your room and pack up. We'll set off after breakfast."
"Okay, brother."
After breakfast, a few waiters sealed the coffin. The Eldest Mistress wailed and lay on the coffin, refusing to get up. Azurepeak pulled her away. The coffin was lifted up by four people. The few waiters in front scattered paper money and walked out of the door in a grand manner. The whole family put on mourning clothes and followed the team closely. Third Brother walked with an indifferent expression. Qingfeng held his father's photo in front of him. Meng Lin supported his mother and walked all the way up the mountain.
Old Master Xia had brought the children to visit his grave once before the New Year. Who knew that in less than half a year, it would be someone else who visited his grave? Someone had already dug a hole and was waiting to be buried. A few sturdy ropes hung the coffin and slowly fell into the pit. Everyone cried. One of the workers used a shovel to lift the soil. The other workers began to fill the soil one after another. Meng Lin was burning paper and crying. After a short while, the pit was filled up and a stone tablet was erected with the words " Xia Yingquan's Tomb " carved on it. The family members cried for a while before leaving one after another.
When they returned to the Xia residence, Qingfeng asked his mother about his father's recent physical condition. Eldest Mistress said that Old Master's body had always been very good. She had never heard him say that he had any pain. She did not know why he said that his heart hurt for the first time. He died before he could find a doctor. Doctor Lin simply said that it was a heart disease and did not say anything else. Azurepeak muttered in his heart when he heard his mother's words.
After dinner, Qing Feng told his family that he was going out for a while. Then, he went to Doctor Lin's house without telling his family. Doctor Lin's house was two to three miles away from the Xia residence. Qing Feng walked over and found that the door was tightly shut. He thought that Doctor Lin had gone out for a visit, so he waited at the door. The sky was dark, but Doctor Lin had not returned. The strange thing was that his family was not at home either. From the outside, the house was dark. This was not in line with Doctor Lin's style. Usually, he would go out for a visit. The whole family was busy cooking at home. Why was everyone missing today?
Just as Azurepeak was hesitating, a middle-aged man walked over to fetch water from the well. Because there was an apricot forest in front of Doctor Lin's house, there were a few wells in the forest, which was convenient for neighbors to fetch water. Azurepeak stopped the elder brother and asked Doctor Lin why there was no one in the family today. The man said that he didn't know. Just three or four days ago, Doctor Lin and his family moved away in a hurry.
Azurepeak asked why he left so quickly. The burly man said that he didn't know either. He only heard that Doctor Lin had a consultation a few days ago. After he came back, he moved with his family. He didn't tell anyone where he went.
After thanking his elder brother, Qing Feng had a bad premonition in his heart. Doctor Lin had lived here for several generations. He was a famous doctor within a few miles. How could he leave just like that? A few days ago, he made a visit. It was very likely that it was his father's. After returning, he quickly moved. Perhaps he had discovered an unspeakable secret and did not want to be implicated. In other words, his father's death was not due to old age or illness. It was very likely that there was a hidden reason. The truth could only be found by finding Doctor Lin himself. Azurepeak saw that the sky was getting darker and darker. It was not a solution to wait any longer. He could only go back and think it over before leaving.
On the way back to the residence, Azurepeak passed by a street. On the left side of this street was a large smoking house. There were many people coming and going on the street, and the street was also very wide. He walked on the right side, thinking about where Doctor Lin might go, but he did not notice that two familiar figures had entered the large smoking house on the left.
The moment the two of them entered, they looked like regular guests. They found a brick bed and asked for two cigarettes. They started smoking. The one and one were the youngest son of Third Uncle and Second Nizi. Third Uncle took a few puffs and said to his nephew with a happy expression,"You've been smoking this thing for half a year. You've gotten used to it, right?”
"Hehe, Third Uncle, I can't leave such a good thing."
"This is our secret. You didn't let your mother know, right?"
" How could I tell her? She's always acting like a parent. She won't even let me touch the fun stuff and even made me recite some useless poems."
"In the future, if you want to play something fun, Third Uncle will bring you there."
"Really? Third Uncle is still the best. Oh right, Third Uncle, I stole two silver dollars from my mother this time. Let's spend it later."
" Good boy, you've grown up." Third Brother hit his nephew's head and smiled proudly.
The two of them smoked for a while, and Third Brother brought his nephew to a place called " Red Dream Pavilion." This place became more and more lively as night fell. The door was brightly lit, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime. A few prostitutes were standing at the door to attract customers. They watched from afar as Third Brother came over. This time, he even led a little one. One of the prostitutes enthusiastically went forward to get close to him.
"Aiyo, Third Master, why haven't you shown your face recently?”
"Aiya, Third Brother, I've been very busy recently."
"Aiyo, who is this? Where did this little guy come from?”As he spoke, he looked down at the child that No. 3 was leading.
Third Brother took out some silver and stuffed it into the prostitute sister's hands." Here, here, move aside." He led his nephew into the house.
As soon as they entered the hall, the madam came over."Third Master, what took you so long?"
The third brother took out a silver dollar and placed it in the madam's hand, saying,""This is my nephew. If you serve him well, I will reward you handsomely.”
" Alright, alright, don't worry, Third Master." The brothel madame took the silver and her eyes lit up. She looked at the little boy and leaned against Third Master's ear. Third Master is really smart. This kind of thing needs to be nurtured from a young age, hehehe." Then, he shouted,""Peach Blossom, Plum Blossom, quickly come out and serve Little Young Master!"
The third brother was holding peach blossoms in his left hand and plum blossoms in his right hand. He was eating the grapes and chestnuts that the two of them handed over to him. The second daughter's son was sitting opposite him. He thought it was fun and giggled. The third brother asked Plum Blossom to serve the little young master. Plum Blossom peeled the skin of grapes and chestnuts for him. After peeling the skin, he stuffed it into his mouth. The third brother said,"Plum Blossom, give the young master a ring." Before the boy could understand what was going on, Plum Blossom's red lips kissed the boy's cheek. It was really loud. The third brother laughed out loud, and the boy became bolder. He directly returned a ring to Plum Blossom's face. The third brother laughed until he was swaying back and forth, shouting, He's a disciple, he's a disciple."
The two of them played until very late. On the way home, the boy said that it was the happiest to go out with Third Uncle. He ate, drank, and had fun. Third Uncle told him that the things Third Uncle brought him to play were the least things a man should do. Otherwise, other men would look down on him. The little boy nodded and said that he would definitely learn how to be a man from Third Uncle in the future.
After sending his nephew to the door of the second daughter's house, the third son left. As soon as the boy entered the courtyard, he heard his mother's reprimanding voice coming from the house,"Where did your brother go? Tell me!”
When the boy heard this, he knew that he had returned too late and that his mother had questioned his brother and sister. He followed what his third uncle had taught him and calmly entered the house."Mother, I'm back."
When the second girl saw that her youngest son had returned, she was overjoyed. She squatted down and looked at her youngest son, whom she loved the most, and said,"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"
"Mom, don't worry. I'm going fishing with Buttface."
"Don't go fishing in the future. What if you fall into the water?”The second girl's tone was gentle.
"Okay, I got it, Mother. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
"Go." The second girl said to the other two children," You guys go to sleep too." When the two children saw that their younger brother had returned, their mother seemed to have changed into a different person and left with an aggrieved expression.
The youngest son quickly turned around and left. Suddenly, he was stopped by the second girl."Wait, Shao Hai, what's that on your face?”
