Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 372 Tangled

Sister Miao handed the plate to Xu Changping, walked to the table and sat down, and asked Guan Ke: "I just heard vaguely that these two little girls are actually descendants of the Ouyang family?"

Guan Ke looked a little listless at this time, and his whole body looked listless. He replied weakly: "Well... probably eight or nine out of ten."

Third Sister Miao slapped the table in front of her and said loudly in a bad mood, "What do you mean by nine out of ten? If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not."

After being yelled at by Third Sister Miao, Guan Ke clenched his left fist and coughed twice: "Ahem..." Then he continued: "It should be, otherwise this person would not use this method to save her."

"Now that everything has been confirmed, why are you still acting like this?" Sister Miao looked at Guan Ke, who still had a very dejected expression, with a puzzled look on her face.

Guan Ke was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "This girl said that she had an accident two years ago."

At this point, although there was no change in the expression on Guan Ke's face, there was a hint of tears in the depths of his eyes, as if he was recalling some painful past events.

When Third Sister Miao heard Guan Ke's words, she immediately stood up in shock and shouted, "What!" His words also successfully evoked some things in Third Sister Miao's memory.

Guan Ke said with a heavy face: "It's just what you think. I suspect it was the year Qinghua wrote to say he was coming to find us."

There was a great famine at that time. Ouyang Qinghua wrote to say that he would send them some supplies, but he never heard from them again.

"But this doesn't prove that this person is Qinghua! Maybe Qinghua was held up by other things and couldn't come." Third Sister Miao didn't want to believe Guan Ke's guess and immediately found an excuse.

"Impossible. If he couldn't come, he might have sent me a letter to explain everything. He wouldn't just disappear without a word." Guan Ke said with red eyes.

"I don't believe it. Qinghua must have been temporarily recalled by someone in their family." Third Sister Miao still couldn't accept Guan Ke's guess.

"Qinghua must have had an accident, otherwise he would have saved the two children and found them even though he knew they had lost their parents."

"Even if someone saved them, it might not be Qinghua! It could also be some other branch that passed by." Sister Miao III immediately retorted.

"No... Never mind." Guan Ke wanted to argue, but when he saw the angry eyes of Sister Miao, he suddenly let go of his temper and said with a bit of boredom: "I hope your guess is right."

Xu Changping was very curious about Qinghua, but seeing the two old men arguing like this, he didn't dare to ask.

When Sister Miao heard what Guan Ke said, she stopped arguing with him. She waved at Yang Xiaoyue, took her hand and said affectionately, "No wonder I liked you so much the last time I saw you. I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Ouyang family."

Anyway, Sister Miao didn't think that someone as powerful as Ouyang Qinghua would encounter any misfortune. It was most likely that he was tripped up by something.

"This...can't be confirmed." Yang Xiaoyue said with a slightly red face, a little embarrassed.

"It must be, otherwise the old guy wouldn't lose his composure like that." Third Sister Miao turned around and glared at Guan Ke, whose eyes were still red.

"Master, are you okay?" Xu Changping took two steps forward, trying to comfort Guan Ke, who was still a little sad and lost.

Guan Ke waved his hands weakly at Xu Changping and said, "I'm fine. I just lost my composure for a moment because I was thinking about my old friend."

In fact, he was too confident that something would happen to Ouyang Qinghua, but one thing led to another and he got stuck in a dead end.

Looking at the four small tripods on the table that had turned negative, Guan Ke thought for a while and decided to seal them up first. He and his third sister had been hiding for so many years, and he didn't want to expose their whereabouts because of these small tripods.

It is better to wait until he is about to die, and then notify these four families to come and collect the tripod.

After taking a look at Sister Miao who was being intimate with Yang Xiaoyue and Xiao Mi, Guan Ke stood up and said to Xu Changping without any mood: "I'll go inside and take a rest first. Xiao Mi can be brought to class tomorrow."

"Master, be careful where you step. I'll take you in." Xu Changping hurried forward and held Guan Ke's arm and said.

After entering the inner room, Guan Ke took out four wooden boxes from a box and handed them to Xu Changping, saying, "Put the tripods in these and store them in the mezzanine of my firewood room."

"Sunken wood!" The wooden box sank in his hand, and Xu Changping recognized the material at once and exclaimed.

"Well, this thing can isolate negative energy and is just right for holding those small tripods." Guan Ke looked at Xu Changping with satisfaction and nodded.

Xu Changping certainly knew that this thing could isolate Yin Qi. After all, Yinchen wood was a good material for making coffins in ancient times, and it could prevent corpse transformation. "Master, where did you get this thing?"

"The small piece I got by accident has been made into a box, so you don't have to think about it anymore." Guan Ke saw the desire in Xu Changping's eyes at a glance and interrupted his fantasy directly.

Xu Changping felt a little embarrassed when being looked at, and said: "Look at you, I didn't say anything. I'll go out and pretend to be Xiao Ding." The saying that an old man is shrewd is not at all inappropriate when applied to Guan Ke. Xu Changping always felt that the other party could see through his thoughts at a glance.

"Hurry up." Guan Ke waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing this, Xu Changping said nothing more and just turned around and walked out of the bedroom with the box in his arms.

When he returned to the inner room, he saw Guan Ke lying on the bed with his clothes on.

There was no other way, he could only put the boxes containing the small tripods back into the big box according to the previous order.

While packing, Xu Changping didn't even glance at the things around the box. He finished his work honestly and closed the box again deftly.

After doing all this, Xu Changping hurriedly said, "Master, it has been put away."

"Okay, get out now." Guan Ke didn't even move, but just shouted to chase the man away.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest." After saying that, Xu Changping turned and left the inner room.

Here, the sisters Yang Xiaoyue were also examined from head to toe by Sister Miao San, who was now standing up with great interest to find some material to make clothes for them.

Xu Changping couldn't bear to see them arguing, so he waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing, just make new clothes, and I'll go find a tailor later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your filial gift." When Sister Miao heard what Xu Changping said, she stopped arguing with Yang Xiaoyue and spoke quickly with her eyes lighting up.

"Don't worry, I'll bring new clothes over in a few days." Xu Changping responded with a smile.

The few of them had lunch in the Wumen Courtyard again, and then Yang Xiaoyue left the Wumen Courtyard with Xiao Mi who was reluctant to leave.
