Qiuyue didn't know how she ate the whole meal. Her mind was full of Zhang Qiling picking up dishes for her. She ate in a daze, put the empty bowl in the sink in a daze, was pushed out of the kitchen by Hei Xia Zi in a daze and not allowed to wash the dishes. She sat on the sofa in a daze, with Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qiling sitting next to her. Wuxie was forced by Hei Xia Zi to wash the dishes.

Looking at the little girl who was still in a daze, Xie Yuchen finally couldn't bear it anymore and woke her up: "Qiuyue, what do you do after dinner in the evening?"

Qiuyue came back to her senses, turned to look at him, thought seriously for a moment, and said: "I, I sometimes watch movies, sometimes read books, or play games. Hua, Huahua, do you want to watch a movie?"

Xie Yuchen nodded. As long as the little girl stopped dwelling on what happened just now, anything would be fine.

"Then Huahua, why don't you go take a shower and change your clothes? You're still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Even though the air conditioner is on, it's still uncomfortable."

Qiuyue was finally able to call Huahua without any psychological burden and continued: "After you finish taking a bath, I should have picked out a movie."

Hei Xia Zi heard this when he came out. He glanced at Zhang Qiling and saw him get up and go upstairs. Then he went upstairs as well and followed her instructions to take a shower.

Qiuyue turned on the projection screen, turned off the lights, leaving only a small dim yellow light on, and searched for a suitable movie. She finally chose a foreign horror film that was said to be very famous. Then she went to the kitchen and brought some snacks and drinks to the table, waiting for them to come downstairs.

The men took showers very quickly. Even Wu Xie, who was the last to come upstairs, finished his shower in ten minutes. When he came downstairs, he saw Qiu Yue sitting on the sofa. Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qi Ling were already sitting next to her. Xie Yuchen could only sit on the edge, and Wu Xie, who was the last to come up, had to sit on the sofa by himself.

When the movie started, several people were watching with great interest, but they became bored as time went on. Foreign horror movies all talked about physical horror, which made people feel physically uncomfortable. They were not as exciting as what they encountered while robbing tombs.

On the contrary, the little girl was so engrossed in watching the movie that she didn't notice that all four people's eyes were on her.

As the scary part of the movie appeared, the little girl covered her eyes with fear and screamed softly, trying to hide. She instinctively hugged something that could make her feel safe. The faces of the people who had been watching her changed. Zhang Qiling lowered his head and looked at the little girl who closed her eyes in fear and hugged him. He moved his fingers slightly, but did not push her away, but let her hug him. Hei Xiazi next to her immediately reached out to hold her in his arms. Zhang Qiling instantly pulled his arm out of her arms and put it on her back. Hei Xiazi was so angry that he laughed.

Xie Yuchen immediately picked up the remote control and stopped the playback. Wuxie quickly stood up and walked over to comfort him, saying, "Qiuyue, don't be afraid. If you don't like it, don't watch it."

"Xiao Yue'er, the movie has stopped. It's not playing anymore."

Hei Xia Zi spoke softly, and Qiu Yue realized belatedly that the movie had been turned off and that she was hugging someone. She opened her eyes, and when she saw the clothes the person was wearing and even a strong arm gently holding her from behind, her little mind went blank for a moment. She slowly raised her head and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but seemed to have nothing in them. In an instant, her beautiful eyes widened, and her little face flushed visibly. As if something had set her on fire, she suddenly let go of her hands and stood up: "I'm sleepy! I'm going to bed! Good night!!!"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for them to speak, she ran upstairs quickly, entered the room, and closed and locked the door in one go.

As soon as she left, the living room became quiet. Zhang Qiling was expressionless as usual, Wuxie had a complicated expression on his face, Xie Yuchen's face was slightly gloomy, and the smile on Hei Xiazi's face had long disappeared. He leaned back on the sofa and sneered.

"Don't forget your identity, Zhang Qiling."

His eyes beneath his sunglasses were filled with sarcasm, and he said coldly, "The Zhang family is only allowed to marry within their own clan. They are not allowed to marry outsiders."

After saying that, he stood up and went back to his room. Xie Yuchen didn't say anything and also stood up and went upstairs. Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling and said after a while: "Brother, you..."

Zhang Qiling shook his head, stood up, picked up his knife and left. Wuxie sat on the sofa and wiped his face in annoyance.

It seems that all four of them are in trouble.

Late at night, Qiuyue gradually fell into a sweet dream after a period of twisting and turning in bed. However, what she didn't know was that while she was sleeping, two dark shadows went out in the dark and walked towards the alley she mentioned in the afternoon. The next day during the day, someone saw a middle-aged drunkard with black spots on his face collapsed at the bottom of a long staircase with broken bones all over his body. It looked like he would be paralyzed in the future, and it seemed that his lower body had hit something and was directly disabled. Of course, everyone just thought that he fell because he was drunk.

The next morning, Qiuyue got up early. When she went downstairs, she saw Zhang Qiling polishing the black gold ancient knife on the sofa. She froze for a moment, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Good morning, little brother..."

"morning."

He responded, put away the knife in his hand, and Hei Xiazi came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron, and said: "Xiao Yue'er is awake, just in time, breakfast is ready, you can eat."

His appearance made Qiuyue feel relieved. At least she was not facing Zhang Qiling alone, otherwise she would be so embarrassed.

[Wuwuwu, thank goodness the little brother isn't angry. I went too far last night. I actually hugged the little brother. Wuwuwuwu, I actually desecrated the little brother. I deserve to die.]

Qiuyue was filled with tears. Last night she wanted to strangle herself to death, but she actually hugged Zhang Qiling. How could she blaspheme the god in her mind!

Qiuyue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Qiling. When she went down the stairs, she heard Wuxie's voice.

"Good morning, Qiuyue."

Wuxie also came out of the kitchen, while Xie Yuchen walked in from outside: "Good morning."

Qiuyue quickly responded one by one, and the embarrassment in her heart finally eased a little, as long as she was not facing Zhang Qiling alone.

While eating, Qiuyue buried her head in the food, not daring to look up at Zhang Qiling across from her. She hurriedly finished her meal before saying, "I'm full. I'm going to buy some gifts for the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood to thank them for their help yesterday."

After she finished speaking, she packed up her dishes and was about to leave, but Xie Yuchen stopped her in time: "Don't worry, I'll go shopping with you. Do you know what to buy for them?"

Qiuyue paused, then nodded: "Okay, then Huahua, come with me to buy it."

"Yue'er, I'll go with you too. The two of us can help you carry your things. There are so many uncles and aunts, and they must have a lot of things to buy."

As Wu Xie spoke, Qiu Yue suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Wu Xie, you are right, you should come too."

Hei Xiazi came over and said: "Xiao Yue'er, I can go with you. I know how to buy it."

Qiuyue pushed him away directly: "Forget it, I'm afraid uncle and aunt will be scared by you. You don't look like a good person with this outfit."

"It's unfair! How can I not be a good person? I protected you in front of all the uncles and aunts yesterday!"

Hei Xia Zi immediately cried out in injustice, holding his hands to his heart as if he was injured.

Qiuyue was so beautiful that she was speechless.

"You're old enough to be my great-grandfather, yet you still have the nerve to call me uncle and aunt? How shameless!"

"Pfft."

Wuxie couldn't help laughing out loud, and Xie Yuchen coughed lightly to suppress his laughter.

This knife not only pierced Hei Xia Zi's heart, but also pierced Zhang Qiling. Hei Xia Zi choked.

So, the two centenarians were left at home, and Qiuyue went out to buy things with Xie Yuchen and Wuxie.

This time they bought a variety of fruits, cigarettes, alcohol, and some drinks and pastries. Because they bought so much, even with Xie Yuchen and Wuxie there, the three of them couldn't take them all back. They had no choice but to have someone send them home, and then take a car home together.

When they got home, the things were already outside. Qiuyue and the other two picked up some of them and went door to door to give gifts, thanking the uncles, aunts, and uncles of the neighbors who had helped them yesterday.

"Xiaoyue, you don't have to be so polite. I've watched you grow up."

"Oh, Xiaoyue, why are you still spending so much money? Don't be polite to your aunt. Come in and have a cup of tea."

"Oh, it's Yue'er. Oh, why did you buy so many things? Why are you so polite to your uncle?"

Qiuyue's face was numb from smiling all the way. It was also because Xie Yuchen and Wuxie had been her thugs all the time. Even Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qiling came to help carry things. They ran several times before visiting all the uncles and aunts from yesterday. When they got home, it was already noon. Qiuyue and Wuxie collapsed on the sofa immediately due to exhaustion. Xie Yuchen also sat down and wiped the thin sweat from his face. Hei Xia Zi took a big gulp of water, and Zhang Qiling sat quietly on the single sofa.

Qiuyue said listlessly, "I won't cook at noon. I'll have someone bring some food over."

She picked up her phone and ordered a restaurant that many people praised, and had it delivered directly. Hei Xia Zi nodded and gave up the idea of ​​cooking.

Lunch was delivered quickly. After they finished eating, Qiuyue was so tired that she was sleepy. She yawned repeatedly and her voice became murky: "Well, I'm going to take a nap."

After saying that, she went upstairs to sleep, leaving the four of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Until this time, the four of them sat together in the living room again. Hei Xia Zi rubbed his fingers, resisted the urge to light a cigarette, and said quietly: "Okay, let's talk."

Wuxie was puzzled: "What are we talking about?"

"We don't belong to this world, and our presence here must be an accident."

Xie Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember what happened when you came here?"

"Thunderstorm."

Zhang Qiling spoke slowly, and Xie Yuchen nodded: "Yes, a thunderstorm. I have never seen such a heavy thunderstorm, and we came here during a thunderstorm as well. There must be a connection between them."

"Perhaps some opportunity brought us here."

Wu Xie was a little depressed. He said, "Maybe one day we will suddenly go back."

Several people paused, looked towards the stairs almost at the same time, and fell into silence.
