Ghost System [Rebirth]

Chapter 19 [Refinement] Relic

Yi was very silent along the way.The man didn't touch him again, but instead talked to Ye Han.

Ye Han is not a talkative person either, but this time he took on the task of digging up gossip.After he found out that the man's name was Zhang Hongzhi, he quickly continued to ask about the Fang family. The man was feeling bored, so he talked a lot as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My cousin is just shy and doesn't like to talk." He said with a smile.

Ye Han immediately continued: "Yeah, I came here with him all the way, just because I heard that Lanzhong's bacon is very famous and delicious. He couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't even know how to make bacon."

The man started to explain the process of making bacon to Ye Han, and then slowly changed the topic to his own home.

Fang Yi seemed to be carelessly scratching the fur of the cat in his arms, but in fact he listened very carefully the whole time.

After walking for about ten minutes, Fang Yi looked at the unremarkable brick and tile building in front of him, and paused a little.

very strange.He and Ye Han looked at each other.

During the ten minutes that Zhang Hongzhi led the two of them this way, Fang Yi heard several system prompts.There are always many such things hidden in the mountains and forests, Ye Han reminded him, so he was not surprised.What really surprised him was that the living area of ​​the Fang family was so clean.

It was as if there was an invisible wall separating Fang's family from the wandering things outside on the mountain.When Fang Yi turned his head, he could see a few spirit bodies with unclear attributes standing on the mountain road, their figures were blurred, and they were almost afraid of something, so they stopped following Fang Yi.

"I'm going to exercise my muscles and bones." Ye Han whispered to him, "There is a magic circle protecting this house, but there are many things outside."

Fang Yi nodded, and the trash slipped out of his arms, and ran away with Ye Han.He followed Zhang Hongzhi into the courtyard gate.

The Fang family occupied a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, and several houses were built in a patchwork manner.Most of the houses have no characteristics, with white walls and white ground, and chickens and ducks are looking for food in front of the door.A low one-story bungalow tucked between the buildings is very conspicuous, Fang Yi couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

When the Fang family saw him coming back, many of them said hello casually and left.Fang Yi didn't know them, so he simply nodded.After entering the gate, several people who were sitting under the eaves playing mahjong turned their heads, and then a man in his 50s stood up with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Yi, long time no see, let Second Uncle take a look at you."

Fang Yi exchanged a few words with him.

I just heard from Zhang Hongzhi that the second uncle is his mother's second elder brother, because he has various connections with the Fang family's business, lives nearby, and is very familiar with everyone.This time, he was the one who called Fang Yi back.Fang Yi was a little confused about the relationship between these relatives. Following the introduction of his second uncle, he greeted each stranger.

Helpless, many strangers in front of him gave him a cold face, and the better ones just nodded slightly and said "I'm back".

Fang Yi stood at the door, a little dazed.The second uncle was talking with Zhang Hongzhi, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door closing in the room, with a bang.

Fang Yi looked back.A few rays of sunlight leaked from the dimly lit room, and the floating dust danced wildly.

"Ayi, when are you leaving?" The second uncle turned around and asked him.

Want to go now.Fang Yi slandered a few words, and replied calmly: "I'll take a look at what my mother left behind, and leave when I'm done."

The people around the mahjong table silently showed a very obvious expression of relief on their faces.Fang Yi just pretended not to see it.When he walked to the place where his mother's relics were placed under the guidance of his second uncle, he couldn't help but began to wonder why the relationship between Fang Yi and his family members was so cold.

Except for the second uncle, no one said a word to him.There was also a hint of imperceptible fear in the bored expressions they put on.

The second uncle brought him to the low bungalow.

"It's all here."

"... Before, my mother also lived here?" Fang Yi asked suddenly.

The second uncle squinted his eyes and looked at him: "It's here, there is no way. You don't remember?"

Fang Yi: "I don't remember."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked in.The second uncle didn't follow, saying that he still had something to do, turned around and left.

It's not like a place to live here at all.

The tiles on the roof were broken, and the sun shone down, illuminating the dilapidated interior of the house more clearly.Except for an iron bed placed against the wall and a table and chair beside the bed, the only items in the room were three clay pots in the corner and dust all over the floor.The dust was thick and there were no footprints. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long, long time.

Before coming here, he inquired about the situation of Fang Yi's family from Zhan Yu.

His mother died when he was very young, his father had mental problems, and he ignored all the big and small things in the family.Fang Yi is basically in a free-range state, only his grandmother still takes good care of him.

How did Fang Yi's mother die? Before stepping into this bungalow, he didn't have much doubt.Whether it is illness or death, or an accident, there are always many, many surprises in the world.

But Fang Yi saw the thick iron chains on the windows and doors.

This is not a place for people to live in, but a place for prisoners.

He was in a daze for a while, and the thought of "I wouldn't have come here if I knew it earlier" became stronger and stronger.He turned his head and walked towards the three jars.The second uncle said that what he wanted to deal with was in the jar.The jar was simply covered and not tightly sealed, but the pottery at the mouth of the jar was a bit heavy.Fang Yi opened a jar and took out a few things inside.

It turned out to be a few wooden toys.

Spinning tops, dolls, and slingshots are all children's playthings.He kept digging in until he had emptied everything in the jar.The jars are full of toys, and there are even toy cars simply painted in red and green. The workmanship is very rough. Fang Yi checked and checked to confirm that these things are all handmade.These are the relics left by his mother?Fang Yi finds it inconceivable: even though these toys were played with by him when he was a child, they shouldn't have such an important meaning.

Just as he was about to open the second jar, there was the sound of a door closing behind him.

Zhang Hongzhi stood behind the door, looking down at Fang Yi who was squatting on the ground.

Fang Yi stood up vigilantly and faced Zhang Hongzhi face to face.There is a wall behind him, and there are three clay pots under his feet, and there is nowhere to run.

Zhang Hongzhi's previous smile had disappeared, and he looked a little gloomy.That face is still very good-looking, a very upright man.

"Who are you that little boy? When did you hook him up behind my back, huh?" Zhang Hongzhi approached him, "You have lived in the hospital for a few months, and you still have the ability to hook people?"

Fang Yi stared at him calmly, and replied, "You are getting married."

He wanted to remind Zhang Hongzhi that just now his fiancée was still playing cards on the mahjong table, only ten meters away from here.But after he said it, he regretted it: If there was really something between Fang Yi and Zhang Hongzhi, this sentence would sound like dissatisfaction and blame like a temper tantrum.

Zhang Hongzhi laughed: "I'm married, so what if I'm married. Can you run away when I get married?"

He pressed Fang Yi's shoulder with one hand and pushed him against the wall, and pinched his chin with the other.Fang Yi was panting in pain from being pinched, and Zhang Hongzhi's face was already close.

"Where has he touched you? I've never touched you. Where has he touched you?!" He spoke louder and louder, making Fang Yi's ears hurt.

Zhang Hongzhi pinched his chin, brushed Fang Yi's lips with his index finger, trying to squeeze it into his mouth.

"Lick, cousin. Or do you want to lick something else?" His eyes were red, and his index finger was hard, "What are you pretending to be, monster..."

Fang Yi didn't want to be rough, but he couldn't bear it.He lifted his knee up sharply and hit Zhang Hongzhi's vital parts heavily.Zhang Hongzhi howled miserably, and immediately let go.When Fang Yi let go of the hand holding his shoulder, he immediately bent down, picked up a clay pot on the ground, and threw it at Zhang Hongzhi's forehead.

He didn't hit hard, and he still showed mercy.Zhang Hongzhi fell to the ground in pain, clutching his upper and lower parts and shivering.After he looked up and saw the things in Fang Yi's hands, his pupils dilated, his lips trembled, and he could hardly speak.

"You...you hit me with that thing?!" Zhang Hongzhi wiped the blood from his forehead and trembled even more, "Bleeding...bleeding..."

Fang Yi was also trembling while holding the clay pot.

The moment the pot hit Zhang Hongzhi, an unusually sharp notification sounded in his ears.

[System prompt: Detected at [-] centimeters——]

Fang Yi didn't hear anything detected.The system's notification tone stopped halfway, just as Zhang Hongzhi was hit and fell to the ground.Fang Yi hurriedly put down the clay pot, and watched Zhang Hongzhi run out of the bungalow with his hands on his forehead.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, the emotions he hadn't reacted to just now made him flustered, and his heart beat fast.He took the remaining two unopened pots and quickly left the bungalow.

Although unwelcome, they made him a room in the corner of the first floor, which was dank and dark.When Fang Yi went back, he saw only an old mother-in-law sitting at the door peeling beans.She pointed to the room without speaking.Fang Yi went in with two clay pots, only thinking about one thing: leave immediately when Ye Han comes back.

He put the pot under the bed, turned around and went out again.

Ye Han and Fei Chai walked not far away, one person and one cat wandered leisurely in the woods, Fang Yi walked all the way there, but he really didn't see the evil spirits he saw when he came.There were a few more red lines on the dog's teeth, and his mood became more complicated.

Seeing Fang Yi's figure, Ye Han waved to him.

The useless firewood fluttered the butterfly and was tired, holding a red berry the size of a fist and gnawing non-stop.

Ye Han showed Fang Yi the contents of his coat pocket: two pockets full of berries, red and yellow, colorful, plump and attractive.

"Is it delicious?" Fang Yi asked casually, picked up a purple-red rub, and put it in his mouth.

Then he choked on the bitter taste in his mouth.

"It's not tasty." Ye Han continued to open the bag and handed it to him, "Eat more, don't waste it."

Fang Yi spat a few mouthfuls: "Why don't you eat!"

Ye Han frowned: "It's not delicious."

Fang Yi, unable to communicate with him, turned and left.Ye Han poured all the fruit on the trash: "It's all for you, stupid cat."

One person and one cat kept scratching each other, and Fang Yi, who was watching their fight by the side of the road, felt very tired.

On the way back, Fang Yi told Ye Han that he wanted to leave. Ye Han walked a few steps slower, looked behind him and asked, "Your clothes are covered in dust, what happened?"

Fang Yi touched back, and sure enough, his hand was ashamed.He thought that it might have been touched when he was pushed against the wall just now. He wanted to say it, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head: "It's okay, I touched it myself."

Although I wanted to leave immediately, there were no passenger buses.Fang Yi hung up the phone, left the fast food restaurant with Ye Han in disappointment, and walked towards Fang's house.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ye Han and Fei Chai followed him silently without saying a word.

As Ye Han was a guest of the Fang family, his second uncle temporarily arranged an extra room for him.Ye Han's room was next to Fang Yi's, and it was in better condition than his room, at least not so humid.

"The houses at the end of the corridor are like this. Come and live with me?" Ye Han said.

Fang Yi rejected his offer.Ye Han stared at him seriously for a while, then said good night.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Fang Yi couldn't fall asleep.

The Fang family's attitude towards him was surprisingly indifferent, even the basic communication was not willing, and everything was relayed by the second uncle.He thought that the second uncle was just an ordinary relative in the eyes of the Fang family, but it didn't look like it.What he couldn't understand the most was the place where Fang Yi's mother lived.The thick iron chains on the windows and doors puzzled him.Half asleep and half awake, Fang Yi dreamed of Zhang Hongzhi's face distorted by desire, and he picked up anything at hand and smashed it on his head, and he woke up after hitting himself.

Fang Yi wiped his eyes and was about to get up to drink some water when he heard very brisk footsteps outside the door.

Someone was running and frolicking.Two people.Judging from the laughter, it is a boy and a girl.

Fang Yi walked to the door, put his ear on the door and listened carefully.

The footsteps slowly died away.Suddenly, someone gave him a clear "Hello" through the door.
