Chapter 29: The Bad Guys
"It's been more than ten years. It's okay. Don't worry. Your grandparents had a happy funeral. They didn't experience any pain. They passed away peacefully, one after the other!"

Father Zhao explained with a forced smile.

"I'll go back with you!"

"I wasn't there when my grandparents left. If I don't go back, they'll scold me."

He felt very sad when he thought that when his two elders passed away, he didn't go back to wear mourning clothes.

"Wait until the New Year, and then you can go back!"

To Zhao Shi's surprise, his parents did not agree to let him go back with him.

"Row!"

Although he didn't know the reason, since his parents didn't say anything, Zhao Shi didn't ask. He just nodded and agreed.

In the afternoon, Zhao Shi helped his parents move the stall back to the house they rented. The old couple packed up and rushed back overnight. They were eager to go home and couldn't wait even a moment.

After getting on the bus, Zhao's mother, who had endured all the way, asked Zhao's father: "Dad, my son wants to go back, why don't you agree?"

"go back?"

"Where will I let my son live when I get back?"

"Will you live with us in the side room of the ancestral hall?"

"Besides, you know how many people envied our son when he was admitted to university, and how many people have said weird things to him over the years! What if our son hears them and gets upset and has a seizure?"

"Let's wait until we are settled and earn some money to buy back the house and land in our hometown, and then let our son come back!"

Father Zhao sighed, looked outside the car, and then began to explain to his wife.

"Hey"

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother fell silent. In the end, she said nothing but just sighed.

The son was so successful in his youth, the top scholar in the city. Media from the town, county, and even the city came to interview him. Later, when he went to the psychiatric department to see his son, he met a fellow villager. Rumors that his son was trapped in love at school and had a mental illness began to spread in the village and town. Although they tried hard to explain, it was of no use. Instead, it seemed more like a cover-up.

This rumor is still circulating today, and is even used by many families as a negative example to educate their children.

They were really afraid that Zhao Shi would hear this and get excited and start having another attack.

This disease is so rare that no one knows the cause, not even the doctors. According to one doctor, if there is no physical cause, then it must be mental, or something made him choose to escape from himself and seal his memory.

Only when he thinks it through or lets it go, will these memories be unlocked.

According to the doctor, what the villagers said was not wrong, it was also a kind of mental illness.

They know about mental illness.

Even if it is cured, there is a possibility of relapse if stimulated.

They don't dare to take this risk.

Zhao Shi returned to the rental house and sat quietly by himself.

A few days ago, he thought that it was enough to have enough money. He traded silver every few days, and this income was already better than many people. But today, when he saw his parents and how old they looked, Zhao Shi realized that he had to make money.

Although I don’t know why his parents didn’t let him go back.

But no matter what happens, ordinary people like them believe that money can solve most problems.

The world is so realistic.

Laugh at the poor and envy the rich!
I'm not only afraid of my brother's hardship, but also afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover!

Although these proverbs are vulgar, they all have a central theme, which is the word "money".

Zhao Shi’s dinner was the leftovers from lunch.

Just after finishing the meal, a large wave of incense entered the incense power space.

A hundred wisps!

More than one hundred strands, reaching one hundred and thirty strands.

More than forty people provided more than a hundred incense sticks, and Zhao Shi couldn't help but sigh.

Some people!

Just a cheap bastard!
The first grand sacrifice received less than a hundred sticks of incense. After killing someone last night to establish her authority, Ling'er didn't give them a good look and even drove the women and children out of the ancestral hall. As a result, the incense offerings suddenly increased.

However, this is almost the limit.

Almost everyone offered three strands of incense. Only the most devout people could offer so many strands of incense. According to some books on Blue Star, only the most devout believers could offer three strands of incense.

You know, every time Zhao Yan worshipped, she only offered three strands of incense. With the incense, Zhao Shi put the only four silver ingots left in the house into the incense divine power space.

Zhao Shi did not intend to exchange all of these silver ingots for incense to pray to the gods, but to renovate the tavern.

It was almost nine o'clock. Zhao Shi was lying on the bed, and his consciousness entered the tablet of another world.

Soon, the mother and daughter who exchanged incense for the gods came back.
There were no surprises along the way.

However, both of them felt that more eyes were staring at them.

After all, buying incense to pray to the gods almost every day is something even wealthy people don't dare to do. So a mother and daughter who run a tavern buying incense every day would naturally attract attention.

Some people even speculated whether the mother and daughter had obtained some treasure.

It's not nonsense.

They found out the identities of Jiang Ling'er and her daughter.

The proprietress of the tavern married a nobleman in her past. These silvers must have been hidden by the nobleman. Now that she has been summoned, these hidden silvers have naturally appeared in the world.

It's not just a guess.

There is a basis for this.

The quality of the silver was beyond their imagination.

Only the hidden silver of a truly large family could reach such a level.

It's not a big family like the one in the county, but at least it has to be a big family at the county level, and it is very likely to be a big family that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.

The reason why these people did not take action was because they were concerned about the old owner of the Song Martial Arts School.

He is vaguely known as the number one person in Qingshan County.

Suspected to be a person in the Bone Tempering Realm.

Even though they haven't done anything for many years and he's old, he's still strong and no one dares to tease him.

It is said that he was also the first human in Qingshan County to escape unscathed from the evil spirit.

After the mother and daughter closed the door of the ancestral hall, Zhao Yan took out the incense to invite the gods.

The fragrance is rising!

Zhao Shixian!
"Brother Shi, this is the jade pendant you wanted!" Seeing Zhao Shi appear, Jiang Linger hurriedly took out the jade pendant. Except for the silver for buying incense to invite the gods, she used all the rest to buy this jade pendant.

Zhao Shi took a look at the jade pendant and then looked away.

Zhao Shi was not in a good mood today.

Meeting his parents made it difficult for him to calm down.

Even if consciousness comes to this world, it cannot eliminate the influence.

"Brother Shi, this is the best jade pendant you can buy. It is made of the finest fine jade. The only drawback is that the carver is not one of the famous masters of the time!"

"Brother Shi, if you are not satisfied, I will get another master to carve it!"

Seeing that Zhao Shi only glanced at the jade pendant and then looked away, Jiang Linger was shocked, thinking that Zhao Shi was not satisfied, and explained in a panic.

Where is Zhao Yan?
Her childhood experiences made her very sensitive.

Naturally, I felt that something was wrong with my father's mood.

I also thought that he was angry with them.

"I bought the jade pendant. If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame my mother!"

Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Shi, pouted, and said stubbornly.

Not angry!

Only the mother knew how anxious she had been these days. She was afraid that her father didn't like her and that he would distance himself from her because of some rumors.

Because her father's smile made her excited for a long time.

Because of a look from my father, I secretly hid under the quilt and wiped away my tears.

In her opinion, her mother was simply insane.

My mother loves my father so much, but he is angry because of a jade pendant?

You know, this jade pendant was carefully selected by my mother for a long time. In order to meet the points my father said, 'Don't look at the workmanship, as long as the jade is good, use the remaining silver to buy the most', my mother ran to no less than ten stores, and finally found this suitable jade pendant in a pawnshop.
