Please Stop Pretending To Be a Cute Newcomer!

    The matriarch's house is a building with a small courtyard. There is a spacious dam from the house to the courtyard entrance. There are two locks in total for the building and the courtyard door.

    Shen Qingcheng stretched out his hand and fiddled with it. It is true that rural people do not like to lock the door, but this is obviously not true in the patriarch's house.

    There are too many secrets in their house.

    "That's how Huang Pingwei stole the book that day?" He never thought that the other party had deliberately let him in.

    Shen Qingcheng smiled and twisted the door lock to open the door, Lu Qi pulled him, "I'll come."

    When there is nothing, Lu Qi likes to walk behind him, oh, not now, now Lu Qi prefers to walk with him.

    However, the habit of getting in his way remains the same.

    Shen Qingcheng obediently stepped aside, there are no ghosts and it is not his home field.

    "Don't be too far away from me." After he stepped back, Lu Qi said again.

    Shen Qingcheng simply stepped forward and grabbed his clothes.

    Zeng Lingling said that the patriarchs of all dynasties kept beauty beads in the basement, so the two entered the house with a clear purpose to find the basement.

    According to the obvious or dark clues left by the matriarch, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi quickly found the entrance to the basement, and it was less than twenty minutes after they turned into the courtyard.

    The entrance to the basement is in the cellar next to the kitchen.

    Lu Qi knocked on the wall with the handle of the knife, there is a door with a lock on this wall, the back of the wall is empty, and the space is not small.

    Shen Qingcheng was eagerly waiting for her boyfriend to take him through the wall, but was pulled out of the cellar by Lu Qi, he wondered: "Isn't this?"

    "It's here," the two hid in the kitchen next to them, Lu Qi said, "If the entrance is blocked, it will be difficult for us to come out."

    He recalled the only exit of the lower cellar, which was an iron plate that could be pulled open and closed.

    "So let's wait for the matriarch now?"

    "Hmm."

    They waited for nearly half an hour before the matriarch and the young man appeared, but they didn't carry anything in their hands. They didn't go to the cellar at all, but went directly to the kitchen.

    The most important thing is that the young man has a gun in his hand.

    Bad.

    Shen Qingcheng immediately understood what was going on.

    In fact, their every move is under the surveillance of each other, including entering the cellar, leaving the cellar, and hiding in the kitchen again.

    The matriarch saw it, so she waited so long.

    She waited impatiently for him and Lu Qi, waiting for them to change their minds, thinking that she and the youth had indeed left, and then let down their guard and entered the cellar again.

    At that time, she and the youth will be able to catch the turtle in the urn, which is much smaller than if they shoot directly.

    Bah, why do I compare myself and Lu Qi to turtles.

    However, the matriarch's patience is obviously not very good, and she is the first to wait impatiently.

    It is also possible that she is not impatient, but that noon is coming, when the young man has to leave to deliver meals, she has to come out early.

    Shen Qingcheng hid behind the wall and looked up at Lu Qi worriedly, he was fine himself, anyway, ghosts are not afraid of being shot.

    But Lu Qi is different.

     "Don't be afraid, holding a gun doesn't mean you can use it." The man calmly said.

    He tried to stick his long knife out of the window, the iron edge of the window was immediately shot, and a smell of blue smoke and gunpowder wafted out.

    Lu Qi had already tried out that the opponent's marksmanship was not even passable. Of course, this was calculated by the standards of his team.

    After that, Lu Qi didn't do anything else, and hid to the other side under the cover of the wall under the window, he put a finger to his lips, signaling Shen Qingcheng to be quiet.

    Shen Qingcheng nodded.

    The people outside got closer and closer, and a little black gun barrel came in through the gap of the window edge.

    Seeing this, Lu Qi decisively stretched out his hand to hold the barrel of the gun and pointed it upwards, and the long knife stabbed out from the same gap. At that moment, Shen Qingcheng heard the "pop" sound of the sharp blade breaking through his body.

    I haven't seen Lu Qi for a long time, and I forgot how powerful her boyfriend is.

    The long knife hit the young man's chest, the young man knelt on the ground without support, blood poured out of his chest and mouth.

    And the matriarch who was standing in the distance was gone.

    Shen Qingcheng came out and saw the young man's body, but he still couldn't recover. It was obviously a horror copy, how did it become a gunfight copy?

    There are only two ghosts in the copy, Xu Sen is confused and doesn't know anything, Zeng Lingling is sober and focused on raising children.

    He suddenly noticed something abnormal. Are the ghosts in this dungeon too weak?

    Not only weak, but very little.

    Lu Qi, who took back the long knife, saw him stunned, and moved to block the corpse, "Scared?"

    Shen Qingcheng looked at him and shook his head, Lu Qi's chin was stained with blood, he reached out and wiped it off for him.

    "What? Let me go!"

    "Don't play tricks, come out!"

    The matriarch's voice came from outside. The calm tone in the past was now breathless. Listening to the sound, it seemed to be approaching here.

    Lu Qi pulled Shen Qingcheng behind him, tightened his hand holding the long knife, and looked at the door alertly.

    In less than a minute, the matriarch appeared in the sight of the two of them, in a strange posture, and was caught by an invisible thing carrying the waistband.

    "Zeng Lingling?" asked Shen Qingcheng, who didn't open his eyes.

    The matriarch who heard the name froze, "You know a lot."

    Shen Qingcheng didn't speak, she raised her chin and motioned her to look at the ground, then the matriarch, who lowered her head, saw a pair of feet appearing in the place that was empty.

    "!" She suddenly forgot to breathe.

    Zeng Lingling, who showed her figure, slammed the matriarch to the ground, and thanks to the blessing of the adults, she can finally take care of this person who caused her family to be destroyed.

    She looked at the embarrassed person on the ground, the other person was old, and she was still the same as when she was young.

    Zeng Lingling laughed, "Bai Mei, long time no see."

    Bai Mei stared at her with wide eyes, "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

    There seems to be a personal grudge between the two?

    Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi handed over the matriarch to Zeng Lingling, and they re-entered the cellar after solving the possible accident.

    This time, Lu Qi took Shen Qingcheng to "break the wall".

    The entire basement is bigger than they imagined, and it can almost be called a beauty bead museum. There are many wooden racks, and each wooden rack has several small wooden boxes.

    The matriarch Bai Mei said that only the most perfect pearls will be selected as beauty beads every year. Now it seems to be just a means of hunger marketing. among the secrets.

    Shen Qingcheng had been curious about beauty beads for a long time, he opened the nearest box, and the beauty beads inside were really different from what they usually saw.

    It is not the difference in size and appearance, but an ethereal thing. If ordinary pearls are dead, then these beauty beads are "live".

    The one in Shen Qingcheng's hand was a dancer holding a pipa dancing, looking like she was about to fly out of his palm in the next second.

    He opened another one, there was a round bead in the box, but when he looked at the light, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a beautiful woman smiling, and her demeanor could change with the rotation.

    Shen Qingcheng was amazed, "This thing shouldn't be replicated in reality, right?"

    "The second cannot."

    Pick up the beauty bead in his palm and put it back in the box, Lu Qi pulled him inside, "Let's go inside and have a look."

    There is a square table in the middle of these dense wooden frames, and there is only a wooden box on the square table, which is often used depending on the degree of pulping.

    Lu Qi split the lock with a knife and opened the lid. Unexpectedly, it was not a beauty bead, but a stack of picture books similar to the book Huang Pingwei stole.

    The content of the book is also very similar to that book. It is a story of a down-and-out protagonist who achieved success through "hard work", and this "hard work" is also related to people.

    They took out all the picture books and found a diary under the wooden box.

    This diary confirmed many of their conjectures, and also answered some of the things that didn't make sense in the past.

    The surname of the patriarch who got inspiration from the picture book at the beginning is Bai, and it is very likely that he is the father of Bai Mei.

    Zeng Lingling broke the secret of their pearl cultivation that night. Patriarch Bai didn't think of killing people at first, but it was Patriarch Bai's wife and Bai Mei's mother who was motivated to kill.

    Zeng Lingling was shocked and gave birth prematurely. She was called to give birth to Zeng Lingling. Before leaving, Bai Mei asked her with red eyes: after having a child, will she have no chance to be with Xu Sen again?

    If there is a chance, as long as Zeng Lingling has an accident during the production process, Zeng Lingling sees something that should not be seen, and can not stay.

    Patriarch Bai's wife didn't say anything about this matter, but Patriarch Bai was such a shrewd person that she quickly discovered something was wrong from her reactions in the next few days.

    He doesn't think his wife has done anything wrong, on the contrary, he thinks his wife handled it well.

    Since the future troubles have been solved, the daughter can continue to be with Xu Sen, although he does not like Xu Sen, the son-in-law who almost brought trouble to the village.

    It's a pity that Xu Sen was not with Bai Mei as they wished, even if the people around him persuaded him that the child was young and needed a mother, but he was unwilling.

    Afterwards, the pearls in the village really opened up a market.

    After all, the pearls in the village are good, but they are not irreplaceable. He needs a unique sign in the village, so that even if he dies, the villagers can continue to develop their business.

    So Patriarch Bai thought of getting a "beauty pearl".

    After discussing this with Bai Mei's mother, an accident happened before it could be implemented. Xu Sen suspected the cause of Zeng Lingling's death. In one scene, Zeng Lingling went crazy and killed.

    After the death of the patriarch Bai, Bai Mei took over the position of the patriarch. In the early days, her mother helped her, and Mrs. Bai took Xu Lin, who was less than 5 years old, up the mountain.

    The corpse thrown into the pond can be said to be buried in water, but it is illegal to use the corpse for profit, and they need a scapegoat.

    Only Mrs. Bai knows how to raise beauty pearls, and Xu Lin will be taught to be the best pearl collector.

    The diary was written by Mrs. Bai. She saw too many corpses during her lifetime, which caused her mental breakdown, so she wrote the diary as a vent channel.

    After Mrs. Bai died, this diary was hidden here by Bai Mei as a relic.

    Mrs. Bai died at the hands of 15-year-old Xu Lin.
