When we got home, Uncle Li had already finished cooking and carried us out to the courtyard. When he saw that we had returned, he didn't have his usual smiling expression on his face, but said to He Wenyi, "It's good that you're back. The dishes have just been stir-fried, so why don't you accompany me for a drink?"

He Zhiyi hurriedly replied, "Ai!"

Uncle Li turned around and went in to get a cup and some wine.

Two cups of white wine had just been drunk. I saw that Uncle Li had always wanted to say something, but was hesitating. I thought, could it be that we are giving Uncle Li more trouble because of this?

"Uncle Li, do you have something to say?" I asked.

Uncle Li looked at me with an unnatural expression. "Xiao Qiu, you and Little Zhong are unmarried women. I'm afraid something might have happened to your residence."

"Problem?" What can happen to the two of us? " I asked nervously.

Uncle Li looked at Zhong Ming and me and sighed helplessly. "Logically speaking, you guys and Yi Yi came to my house to look at the weird things that happened here. Originally, I should have treated you guys well, but something strange happened in my house."

"Don't worry, Uncle Li. What kind of demons and ghosts dare to behave atrociously in front of me? I don't believe they're evil, so I decided to stay here."

She wasn't even afraid, let alone me. Thus, I also said, "Uncle Li, we'll be fine. If we stay here for a few more days, maybe we'll be able to find the source of the strange things."

Uncle Li still firmly refused. "No way. This strange thing isn't taking your lives."

"Then even more so! We're not afraid of this life and death thing, but this life and death thing, I'm not afraid of this at all! " I grinned, shamelessly.

I saw that ghost girl last night. I don't feel any fear now, so I want to find out where she came from and what we talked about last night.

"Pah!" Uncle Li placed the chopsticks on the table, "Xiao Qiu, it's not that I don't want you to stay, but I don't want my own Miss to let her stay at home. If this goes on, it will harm you."

Zhong Min also put down her chopsticks. "Uncle Li, we really aren't afraid. If we were, we wouldn't have come."

"Ai!" Uncle Li still wanted to refuse.

I shifted my gaze to He Wenyi. "Say something!"

He Wenyi thought for a moment and finally said, "Uncle Li, if you trust me, then leave the two of them here. We can even deal with Old Lady Liu's situation, and this time we can too."

Uncle Li looked at He Shiyi for a long time before finally nodding reluctantly, "Take the key to this house. Take a look at the flaws. I'll get it for you guys." I'll go to my other place to stay for a while. If you don't need anything, I'll leave in the afternoon. "

"It's fine, you have everything here. We can make whatever we want." The reason why Uncle Li's heart was heavy was that he didn't speak but only focused on drinking.

He Yi was silent for a long time. "Uncle Li, can I ask you something?"

Uncle Li took a sip of his wine, "What's the matter?"

Looking at He Zhiyi's hesitant appearance, I guessed that he probably wanted to ask about Aunt Li's death. He obviously didn't want to believe the words of that Second Mother, so he wanted to personally ask Uncle Li for confirmation.

"Aunt Li didn't die of sickness back then, but from hanging, right?" He Wenyi looked at Uncle Li without blinking, waiting for his reply.

Zhong Min and I didn't dare to say anything, so we listened attentively.

He clearly saw Uncle Li's hand that was picking up the food pause for a moment before immediately eating. After chewing for a long time, he said, "Yes!" Your Aunt Li just got up one night and came back, and hung herself. "

"What can happen to her?" I asked hurriedly. It was abnormal to be back at night to hang myself.

Uncle Li looked at me with reddened eyes. "I don't know either. We were talking and laughing during dinner and there was nothing abnormal when I went to bed. I just got up at night and hung myself."

"What do you mean? This is abnormal."

"Let's eat. We'll make our plans after dinner." "I can't cook as delicious as Uncle Li. You guys eat more."

Uncle Li was also munching on his food with bloodshot eyes. Perhaps because he thought of Aunt Li, he was unhappy.

"Come, Zhong Min, eat more!" He gave Zhong Min another shovelful of rice, making her feel baffled.

Everyone continued to burp from the meal. Zhong Min was the best at holding up the food alone. Since she had eaten her fill, she gave her some food. In the end, she finished her meal and the food was gone.

When Uncle Li saw how playful Zhong Min and He Shuyi were, he smiled and told me, "Little Qiu, it's been a long time since this courtyard has been so lively and the food has never smelled so good."

"When you deal with this strange matter, come back. We'll wait for you in the yard. We'll celebrate then." I comforted Uncle Li, hoping that Ernie's mother's words wouldn't provoke him today.

"You don't need to comfort me. If this strange thing isn't handled well, then forget it. I've lived here alone for dozens of years, so I'm used to it. That dirty thing can't hurt me."

I said smilingly, "Uncle Li, you must believe in us."

"I'll trust you, but remember, don't push yourself too much." Uncle Li smiled as he added.

"Got it!"

Uncle Li squinted at the big red toon tree and continued, "When my great-grandfather bought this house, he fell for a red toon tree."

"This tree is indeed a auspicious tree, it is a joyous occasion!" I also looked at the red toon tree and wondered who the woman from last night was.

He Zhiyi and Zhong Min had already cleared the dishes from the table and entered the room. Zhong Min was in the kitchen washing the dishes, so she came out and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Uncle Li pointed at the tree. "They say this tree has good omens and good feng shui, but why does this have to happen? Could it be that this tree has come to life?"

Uncle Li muttered to himself, giving me a wake-up call. I patted him on the shoulder, "Do you think that is possible?"

He pointed at the tree. "You mean?"

"En!" I nodded.

He Wenyi's eyes lit up. "Amazing, big sis. You can even think of that."

"This is not what I thought. It was Uncle Li." I looked at Uncle Li and couldn't wait to see what was going on.

But it was not dark, and the woman did not come out. He climbed up to the tree and saw nothing.

"I didn't see anything. The yellow talisman has been stuck on it several times, but it still didn't have any effect." He patted the dust off his body, tired and sweating.

"Come on, come on, come on, drink some water!" Zhong Min was very considerate as she brought a glass of water to He Yi.

He took the water and drained it in one gulp. He Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Do you think it's not a tree matter?"

I looked under the tree for a long time and touched it for a long time. "In this yard, other than the fact that this tree is a little strange, I can't see anything else."

"If you could easily tell, why would I call you here?" I've already accepted her. " He Yi was squatting under the tree, mumbling.

"Hey, look!" Zhong Min raised her head and shouted.

"What's wrong?" He Yi stood up immediately.

I hastily turned around, but Zhong Min was still looking up. "What happened?" What did you see? "

Zhong Min pointed innocently at the tree. "Why don't you have a bird's nest when you're talking about such a big tree?"

"Sigh!" He Zhiyi stared intently at Zhong Min, "At this time, you're still thinking about the bird's nest."

"That's right!" Zhong Min was very serious. "I really want to go up and look for the bird's nest and cook some bird eggs for us to eat."

I stared up at the bare branches of the tree. There really wasn't a single bird's nest. How come there wasn't even a bird's nest on such a large tree?

This tree really had a problem.

"What do you mean, what do you mean!" I shouted as if I had seen a treasure.

He Zhiyi turned around impatiently, "What's wrong, why are both of you so angry?"

I pointed happily at the tree. "There's no bird's nest on the tree!"

"If you don't have a bird's nest, then you don't have a bird's nest. It's as if you have never seen the world before." I guess he thought it was embarrassing that Zhong Min and I had never seen a bird's nest before.

Zhong Min was also stupefied. "Feifei, you want to find a bird's nest too?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, such a big ancient tree doesn't have a bird nest, don't you think it's strange?"

He Wenyi finally reacted, "There's something strange about this tree!"

"Yes!" "We have to start with this tree," I said.

"I think so!" He Zhiyi immediately moved the chair over and sat under the tree, "You guys call me when dinner is ready. I'll guard this tree and see what kind of tricks it can produce."

Zhong Min was also looking at He Yi with disdain. "You stole the time. I think Fei Fei is more suitable to be here than you."

He Zhiyi opened one of his eyes and looked at me, "That's not right. It's easy for girls to leave from their homes. Hurry up and go. While the sky is still dark, hurry to the garden to pick some vegetables."

"Lazy guy!" Zhong Min scolded him and dragged me to the garden without even looking back.

He Zunyi acted like an old man at night. He ate and continued to stand guard under the red toon tree. He even lit a mosquito coil and said, "All of you go back to your rooms to sleep, I'll sleep here."

"Aren't you afraid that the mosquitoes will carry you away?" Zhong Min giggled as she asked.

"Are you sure you want to stand guard here alone?"

He Zhiyi desperately nodded. "Aiyo, the two of you don't need to be so long-winded. Hurry back to your rooms. Imperial Concubine Qiu, protect Minmin."

"Aiyo, old man, you sure have a strong heart." I laughed at He Yi. He waved his hand at us nonchalantly, indicating that we should leave quickly.

"Where do you want to go? It's still early, why don't we have a chat? " Zhong Min woke up late in the morning and wasn't sleepy at all. She was just bullshitting around.

"Why are you called He Shiyi?" Zhong Min asked.

He Wenyi did not even bother to open his eyes, "Why are you called Zhong Min? Why is she called Qiu Fei? "

I hastily moved my chair two steps back. "You guys continue to chat, stop pulling me."

Zhong Min had a big smile on her face. "Speak, why are you called Imperial Concubine Qiu?"

"My mother married her and said that her dream in this life is to become the emperor's concubine. Thus, she entrusted her dreams to my name." My mother's explanation of how she worshiped my name made me feel like I had been cheated by her.

"What did you say?" I asked.

He Zhiyi sloppily said, "My mom said that it was not easy to be born, so she gave me the name He Zhiyi. Hopefully, everything will be easy."

"Haha, your mom never would have thought that you would have such a difficult time right?" Zhong Min exposed him mercilessly.

He Zhiyi opened his eyes and rolled his eyes at her, "The ancients said that if you want to become something great, you have to work hard."

"I also agree with He Yi. Life must be tiring. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know I was going to catch a ghost." I was only joking. Actually, knowing He Zuyi wasn't that bad either.
