When Wei Yang returned to the ancestral home for the second time, the anxiety in his heart had already dissipated. He no longer dwelled on the nightmares but instead headed straight for the storeroom. Built during the late Qing Dynasty, the house had a typical old-fashioned layout. The two-courtyard compound naturally had two storerooms, one in the outer courtyard and one in the inner courtyard. The outer storeroom was used to store daily necessities like grain and firewood. It had high beams, was…- 380.6 K • Completed
- Eldest Uncle worked swiftly, and the meal was quickly prepared. However, the dining table was enveloped in an awkward silence. Eldest Aunt had gone to look after her daughter-in-law's child today, and without her presence to ease the atmosphere, coupled with the unwelcome visit from a "relative," it was impossible to create a pleasant mood. Chewing his food in silence, Eldest Uncle ate quickly, finishing the contents of his bowl in no time. After putting down his bowl, he sat at the table for a moment,…

- The courtyard fell into an awkward silence for a moment. Just as the Eldest Uncle was about to say something more, Wei Yang turned to the person beside him and said softly, "Brother Qi, why don't you go upstairs first? These are just some family matters of mine. I'll come up and join you once I'm done here." His voice was gentle, but there was a firmness in his tone that brooked no refusal. Zhang Xiuqi's furrowed brows didn't relax. He wasn't sure what was happening here, but seeing the expression on…

- The so-called haunted house mentioned by the middle-aged women wasn't too far from the village entrance. It was located slightly off to the side, right on the edge of the village's western expansion area. If one walked quickly, it might take only ten minutes to reach. However, Wei Yang wasn't walking fast. He strolled along the smooth cement road, carefully observing everything around him. If that haunted house was indeed the place he had lived in as a child, shouldn't he have some memories of it? The…

- The meal was awkward and uncomfortable. Elder Uncle still had his reservations, but he didn't say anything more. However, the probing didn't end there. After the meal, while Wei Yang was helping to clear the dishes, Elder Aunt took her turn. "Ah Yang, how was your outing today? Did you visit the old house?" Her tone was much more natural than her husband's. Although it was clear she was fishing for information, it wasn't as off-putting. Wei Yang smiled, "We did. Since I brought a friend along, I…

- It was a large mansion, covering more than an acre of land. The towering courtyard walls were already mottled with age but still stood imposingly at the end of the path, like a gloomy sentinel firmly guarding the western entrance of the village. In the vicinity, not only were there no other households, but there wasn't even a living creature in sight, making the old mansion appear even more eerie and terrifying. Seeing this scene, Wei Yang couldn't help but stop in his tracks. This mansion carried a…

- A beam of light fell on Wei Yang. He looked up in confusion and found himself standing in a large room. The room was terrifyingly vast, with high wooden beams that seemed to reach the ceiling. He could vaguely see fierce beasts carved into the beams. Near the wall stood a tall desk piled with jars, wooden boards, and burning incense. The curling smoke enveloped the desk, emitting a dizzying sandalwood scent. Wei Yang reached out and gently touched the beam of light on his body. Looking up, he noticed…

- When they got off the train, the police had just arrived at the station. In such a small county, it wasn't common to see police cars dispatched, and it had already drawn a crowd of onlookers. Wei Yang had no interest in sticking around to watch. He immediately took Zhang Xiuqi and boarded a bus heading to the neighboring county. Wei Yang's hometown, Wei Family Village, was located near Erwangpo in the neighboring county. In the past, it had been a well-known geomantic treasure, with both mountains and…

- In the old days, besides the Eight Minor Sects and the Four Major Sects, there were two lesser-known sects in the Jianghu known as the "Deception Sect" and the "Beggar Sect." Those who specialized in scams and petty theft could be categorized under the Deception Sect, while the Beggar Sect consisted of professional beggars with systematic training, not seeking sustenance but rather extorting money from others. These two sects were fundamentally different from the Eight Minor Sects, which relied on people's…

- The city's train station had undergone an expansion a couple of years ago during a major municipal infrastructure upgrade, resulting in two rather modern and high-end waiting rooms. Unfortunately, the city wasn't a transportation hub, and the number of trains passing through was already quite limited. Despite the large investment, it only added a bit of prestige to the previous leadership's achievements, while the rest of the funds essentially went down the drain. Now, with the summer and winter vacations…
