g whatCheng Banxian raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh my, I only know how to remove corpse poison and Yin poison. I'm not good at anything else. I rely on this skill to make a living. Besides, I need to..."...A man in shorts and slippers, with a messy hairdo, who spends all day eating and drinking right in front of me You're telling me that's charming That's too much to ask."

"Poof… Didn't you notice on the day you came home at sixteen that there was such a handsome older brother who was so proud!" He self-consciously brushed his hair.

Sixteen ...

That year, I distinctly remember that icy man. All I could recall was the pain and fear he inflicted upon me. Afterward, I fell seriously ill, and for a while, I was in a daze.

I don't know what the point of living is. Every day I wake up mechanically and just go through the motions.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Qiyun didn't really build up to anything back then. He didn't even hug her. I guess he was probably a bit lost facing a sacrifice

He could sit and forget for a hundred years and wouldn't find it long, but waiting for one person to grow up for over ten years feels difficult.

When there is hope in one's heart, one will unconsciously become soft-hearted.

He said, "Don't be afraid," at the time, but I was still terrified of him half a year ago.

If, as my brother said, "Charm is a matter of first impressions," then I was captivated by his eyes the moment I saw him. They stole half my soul.

As deep as an abyss, with pupils like molten lava, it draws me, standing on the precipice, step by step into its depths.

"The first time I saw your husband, what do you think I thought" My brother suddenly burst into laughter.

"...Definitely not something good."

"I thought: Damn, he's good-looking! He'd be worth sleeping with! I'll just say my sister slept with him!" My brother said with a wicked smile.

I rolled my eyes at that.

Did I sleep with him I'm still being held down by his wrist, like I'm on a chopping board, at his mercy. How could I possibly have slept with him

"Alas... it's a pity, you're young and inexperienced, you don't know how to capture a man's heart..."

What Grab the man's head

What is a head

It shouldn't be about capturing a man's heart or stomach, should it

I gave my brother a puzzled look. Did he get it wrong

"What are you looking at A man's head, his head!"

He pointed to his head and groin.

"Top and bottom heads! Baby! The head on top and the turtle shell on the bottom! You have to know how to grasp them. Whatever kind of bad guy, whatever kind of deity it is, all the men have to obediently listen to you and give you whatever you want!"

This guy!

He just can't stand not "driving" all day!

Are all doctors like this old driver When it comes to human organs, I have to mute myself to hear what they're saying!

"You're being a scoundrel again!" I retorted angrily.

"I'm like your mother! I'm looking out for you in place of Mom. I'm worried that because you're young, men might take advantage of you!"

An elder brother like a mother!

How many crooked arguments and fallacies does this guy have!

Along the way, he teased and amused me. I was both annoyed and delighted, and before I knew it, I arrived at my hometown village.

When we got off the bus, my brother stretched and said, "I'm so tired."

It just occurred to me that during that bumpy ride, he kept rambling on about all sorts of nonsense, distracting me so much that I didn't feel car sick or uncomfortable at all. Could it have been intentional

What a pain...Having such a brother...It's really too blissful.

The middle school in the county had a break earlier, and my cousin Chen Susin was chatting with several girls from the same village under the tree at the old house's gate. As soon as she saw us, she ran over.

My brother was terrified by the way she rolled her head around, he thought she looked scary even in person. He immediately shouted, "What are you doing Charging at me like a wild boar Have some manners! Qiao is pregnant now, what if she gets hurt"

"You're the wild boar!" she huffed, wrinkling her nose. "You only care about your sister, but I'm your sister too!"

"Little Qiao is my younger sister, you're just my cousin. Can you compare Besides, can you be as quiet as Little Qiao Get lost!" My brother shooed her away.

I whispered, "You're being way too obvious about your fear. She doesn't know that sleeping can cause one's soul to leave the body, does she It's broad daylight and she even has a red string around her neck. What are you afraid of"

" ...psychological shadow." My brother twitched the corner of his mouth, carrying two suitcases into the house.

Aunt Zhang is a villager who works at home. My grandfather's daily life needs someone to take care of him. Aunt Zhang does everything, from cooking and cleaning to sweeping the floor. When she sees us, she says: "The old master keeps talking about how you haven't come yet. Young master, go pay your respects quickly."

She is called the mistress very smoothly, must have heard the wind

My relatives should all be on high alert. Dinner tonight is probably going to be a bit chaotic.

As per usual, family gatherings were held at the grand ancestral home of the patriarch. Many large round tables were set up in the courtyard. At six o'clock sharp, everyone would take their seats, leaving the head seat at the first table reserved for the patriarch. He dictated when the feast began, and only then could anyone start eating.

My older brother and I sat on either side of our grandfather. Looking at this large gathering of relatives, he didn't immediately start talking about the handover of the family head position, but instead, he brought up the news of Mu Yunliang's death.

Mu Yunliang's matter has already spread within the family. It is said that his mother fainted from crying several times, her only son just disappeared like this, and died tragically, she cried so much that she fell ill, she didn't come to the dinner today.

Grandfather sipped his tea calmly and said to me, "Originally, his parents were making a fuss in front of me, saying that this matter was related to you and demanded that you explain the situation."

I frowned. "What situation Mu Yunliang conspired with an outsider to kidnap me. He knocked me unconscious, put a bag over my head, and carried me onto a vehicle. I almost got taken advantage of. How do I explain that"

The grandfather nodded. "I understand all of that. It's just that his parents think this is one-sided and since there's no proof, they need to find another reason... Who would admit their son betrayed the family, right Hmph..."

The old man sneered two times, and raised his eyes to look at the front door.

Mu Yunliang's mother, who was originally bedridden, rushed in with her sisters at her side. She knelt before the grandfather: "Grandfather, my son Mu Yunliang died tragically! You must be the master for our family! We have always been low-key and honest within the family, but we never expected such a tragedy to befall our son. Yunliang was honest and kind, he must have been deceived and manipulated by someone with ulterior motives..."

She stared at me with swollen eyes: "Xiao Qiao, Miss, you are delicate and precious! Our Yunliang hasn't had much contact with you. How did you take his soul and life away just by coming back once! You say you serve the dead spirits, and you started serving them at sixteen. You haven't died yet! What kind of fairy can both serve the dead spirits and steal the souls of the living!"

I frowned. Was that blade pointed directly at me

The old master's face was icy, he drank a cup of tea silently. It seemed he deliberately let Mu Yunliang’s mother make a scene.

This is a good opportunity to make an example of someone.enty of space there—"He slammed the car door shut, stubbornly turned around and said to me: "There are rules for corpse transporting—three things you should do and three things you shouldn't. After su...
