incense shop owner

Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east and cast a warm yellow light.

Xia Gujiang sat in the red supercar, bathed in the sun, drowsy.

A few soft sounds of "button button" woke him up, he looked up and looked out the window, Xia Guhan was standing outside the car door.

"You're back." Xia Gujiang unlocked the lock to let Xia Guhan in.

Xia Guhan didn't say a word, sat in the driver's seat, put his hands on his chest, and fell asleep.

Xia Gujiang turned his head and glanced at him, feeling the low air pressure coming from Xia Guhan's body, and stopped talking in a sensible manner.

He didn't know what Xia Guhan went through yesterday, but Xia Gujiang was sure it wasn't a good thing. He could feel that Xia Guhan's anger had exploded, and no one dared to provoke him at this time.

Xia Gujiang lowered the temperature in the car in a low voice, started the car and drove on the national highway, and stopped on the street of a small town after ten minutes.

They started chasing Su Yuewei early yesterday morning. Su Yuewei drove all day, and they chased her all day. Neither of them had eaten. It was time to buy something to fill their stomachs.

At six o'clock in the morning, the town has woken up. There are vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, and the sound of shouting and selling is endless.

Xia Gujiang parked the car in front of a noodle shop, and was hesitating whether to wake Xia Guhan up, but Xia Guhan opened his eyes in a daze.

Xia Guhan was woken up by hunger, he hadn't eaten all day, the smell of the food outside kept coming into the car, making the glutton in Xia Guhan's stomach growl, and he had to wake up.

"Going to eat?" Xia Gujiang asked cautiously.

He knew that with Xia Guhan's character, he couldn't do anything to vent his anger, but Xia Guhan who was in an angry state had a scary temperament, which was much better than Xia Yunkai.Normally, Xia Gujiang would be honest when encountering this kind of situation.

Xia Guhan stretched his waist, "Yeah." He opened the door first and got out of the car.

The smell of scallion oil came from the noodle shop, making people's index fingers twitch.

Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang walked into the noodle shop together, glanced at the menu hanging on the wall, Xia Gujiang said to the boss who was busy on the stove: "Boss, here are two bowls of noodles in clear soup."

It wasn't the peak season in the store yet, and the two quickly found a place to sit down.

Xia Gujiang could feel that Xia Guhan's mood had gradually eased down, his sharpness was absorbed, and he returned to his lazy appearance, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

While waiting for the table, Xia Gujiang and Xia Guhan chatted about Gu Jinnian, "I don't know what's going on with my sister-in-law?"

"He..." Xia Guhan was silent for a while, and finally frowned tightly, and the air around him suddenly became dull.

Xia Gujiang was startled, and quickly sat aside, away from Xia Guhan.

After a long time, Xia Guhan recovered, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

Xia Gujiang asked him: "What... what's wrong."

Xia Guhan shook his head, "It's fine."

The change in his mood just now came from Gu Jinnian's mood.

Because of the contract of living together and dying together, Xia Guhan can still feel Gu Jinnian's emotions even if he is thousands of miles away.

I don't know what happened to Gu Jinnian to make him so angry.If he hadn't taken care of the overall situation, Xia Guhan believed that Gu Jinnian would have blown away those people's lairs long ago.

"Can you feel sister-in-law?" Xia Gujiang put forward a reasonable guess based on what happened just now.But he already had the answer in his heart, and Xia Guhan's reaction was the best answer.

But Xia Gujiang never imagined that Xia Guhan could still feel Gu Jinnian's emotions thousands of miles away because of the contract of living together and dying together.

When Xia Guhan said these words, Xia Gujiang was scalding the tableware with hot water.

"Xia Guhan, tell me again, what kind of contract is it?" Xia Gujiang suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, the spoon in his hand fell into the hot water, and the splashed water scalded his hands.

But he didn't feel any pain, he stared at Xia Guhan incredulously, and asked the question again.

Xia Guhan lazily passed the chopsticks in the hot water, and repeated: "A contract of living together and dying together."

Of course Xia Gujiang knew about this contract.

This is a contract signed directly in the souls of both parties. Once the contract is established, each other's souls will be branded with each other.Life after life will not dissipate, and one person can only sign it once.

Also because of this characteristic, the contract of living together and dying together has a very popular name - marriage contract.

Xia Gujiang thought that Xia Guhan just found a boyfriend, but he didn't expect that he even got married.

He has only heard about the contract of living together and dying together, and he has never seen anyone who has signed this contract. Even the most loving partner in the world of celestial masters would not dare to sign such a contract.

Firstly, this contract is bound from generation to generation, and the soul of one party will disappear and the soul of the other party will also dissipate; furthermore, this contract has very strict requirements on both parties. If it dies, the soul will fly away, and it will bring the signing parties to die together.

In other words, the two parties who signed this contract must have [-]% trust in each other, and believe that the other party will not betray themselves even if they are reincarnated.

Under such harsh conditions, even the most loving couple would not dare to sign a contract easily. How long did Xia Guhan and Gu Jinnian know each other?How dare you tie your whole life to Gu Jinnian?

Xia Gujiang had no choice but to give Xia Guhan a thumbs up, and convincingly called "Brother."

The cow is still the big brother cow!

Xia Guhan accepted the compliment.

Just when the boss finished cooking the noodles, he brought them up.

The two of them, who had been hungry all day, could no longer talk, so they had breakfast first before talking.

There are more and more customers in the store, and the acquaintances gather together to chat.

The red supercar parked at the door was also one of the focuses of their chat.

"Whose car is that sports car at the door? I've seen that brand on TV. Does it cost a lot of money?"

"There should be several million."

"Could it be someone from Gaojia Village who bought it again?"

"What Gaojia Village? It was renamed Dayun Town a long time ago. But don't call Gaojia Village in front of them. The whole village is rich, very wealthy."

"I don't know what kind of luck happened. It's only been a few years. The whole village has moved down from the ravine. Villas have been built one after another, and luxury cars worth millions can be bought as soon as they are bought."

"Tsk tsk, why do you think we are not so lucky to be born in Universiade Town?"

……

Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang heard the conversation with a slight dialect, and they couldn't hear it very clearly, but they understood everything that should be understood.

Xia Gujiang finished the last mouthful of soup, approached Xia Guhan and whispered, "There is a problem in Universiade Town."

"If you ask, you will know?" Xia Guhan put down his chopsticks and looked at Xia Gujiang.

Just hand over the task to Xia Gujiang.

Xia Gujiang is also used to it. When paying the bill, he pretended to ask the proprietress casually, "Madam proprietress, how can I get to Gaojia Village?"

The proprietress was cleaning up the dishes, when she heard the words, she looked over, "Why do you ask Gaojia Village?"

"My aunt married to Gaojia Village for more than ten years, and I couldn't contact her for several years. My father asked me and my brother to come and have a look." Xia Gujiang said with a smile.

He is good-looking and especially cute when he smiles.

Seeing that there were not many people in the shop, the proprietress sat on a stool and started chatting.

"There is no Gaojia Village now," said the proprietress, "Five or six years ago, Gaojia Village was promoted to a town, and the name was changed to Universiade Town. It means to hit the Universiade. I don’t know where to find the way to make money, and they all get rich.”

Speaking of this, the proprietress pursed her mouth, "They used to be from the same town, and they didn't know how to take us with them when they got rich, and they kept their hands on their hands tightly, as if others would learn to steal their business."

"There's only so much money, how can I teach you how to make money?" The boss heard the complaint from the proprietress, and shouted at the proprietress: "Quickly put away the table, otherwise where will the guests sit?"

"Here we come..." The proprietress got up and went busy.

Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang looked at each other, paid the money and left the noodle shop.

"To Universiade Town?" Xia Gujiang asked.

Xia Guhan had exactly this intention.

The two went to the car, when an old lady suddenly stopped them.

"Two...two wait."

It was an old lady who was shopping for vegetables. Her cataract was a little serious, and her eyes looked foggy.With a turban around his head and a hunched back, he stretched out his hand tremblingly towards Xia Guhan and the others.

"Ma'am, is there something wrong?"

The aunt beckoned them to pass.

After the two stood beside her, the aunt whispered, "Are you also interested in Gaojia Village's way of making money?"

"Let me tell you, that money can't be earned. It's all money for cannibalism. If you earn it, you will be punished by God!"

"Will be damned!"

When the aunt spoke of the excitement, the crutch in her hand kept hitting the ground, making a loud sound, and her old face was stained with resentment.

The people next to him heard this, and quickly explained to Xia Guhan, "Don't listen to this crazy woman, she still hates Dayun Town in her heart. Her granddaughter married to Dayun Town three years ago, but it's a pity that she is a poor man. I couldn’t afford the wealth of Universiade Town, and died within two years. The old woman couldn’t enjoy the blessings, and even hated Universiade Town.”

The aunt raised her crutches and was about to hit the man, and she was still muttering, "You know what? My granddaughter has entrusted me with dreams. Everyone in Gaojia Village has no conscience. They forced my daughter to have a baby. If one is not enough, there will be more children, my granddaughter was forced to death by them!"

Apparently the aunt had said this more than once, and everyone around her was surprised, and did what they should do, as long as the aunt was a crazy woman.

But Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang caught the point of her words.

Xia Gujiang comforted the aunt with a warm voice, and helped the aunt to sit down under the shade of a tree not far away, "Don't be restless, aunt, we trust you."

He moved out of the rhetoric he had just told the proprietress of the noodle shop, and whispered to the auntie: "My aunt also married to Gaojia Village, and she kept in touch with her before, but suddenly she couldn't get in touch with her in the past few years. We are worried that she will suffer. Unexpectedly, I want to go to Gaojia Village to see her."

This was the first time someone believed what Da Niang said, and the situation was somewhat similar to Da Niang, and Da Niang immediately found the organization.

She looked to the left and looked again, sneaking closer to Xia Gujiang and said in a breathy voice: "My granddaughter also said that Gaojia Village asked them to give birth to ghosts, and the women in the village were forced to give birth."

As she spoke, the aunt patted her leg and began to cry, "My poor granddaughter, I thought she was going to enjoy the blessings when she married into Gaojia Village. I didn't know that Gaojia Village was a haunt of evil spirits. If I had known this before, I Just put this old life at stake, and I won't let her marry! Every day I dream that she is crushed under the mountain, unable to live, to die, my granddaughter who is suffering!"

Seeing an old woman crying sadly, the two big men were at a loss.

In the end, Xia Guhan passed a talisman to the aunt, "Auntie, burn it to your granddaughter when you get back, so that she can have a better time down here. Tell her again, her pain will soon be over."

The aunt's muddy eyes suddenly widened, and she took the talisman handed over by Xia Guhan with both hands.The moment she got the talisman, the aunt felt that her hand was about to burn, and the heat burned all the way from the palm of her hand to her heart, making her whole body warm up.

She looked at Xia Guhan tremblingly.

Either she finally found her sustenance, or she really saw hope, and the aunt's eyes were filled with tears.She wanted to get up with her crutches, and wanted to kneel down towards Xia Guhan.

Xia Guhan was the first to perceive the aunt's intentions, and stretched out his hand to support her, "Please don't talk about what happened today, auntie."

"Okay...Okay." The aunt nodded repeatedly while holding the talisman.

When Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang left, the aunt gave them all the vegetables that were going to be sold today, which was her most sincere thanks.

The two did not refuse, but Xia Gujiang secretly stuffed dozens of dollars into the aunt's pocket.

After returning home, the aunt couldn't wait to follow Xia Guhan's statement, and lit the talisman in front of her granddaughter's tablet.

Green smoke curled up, not knowing where to go.

While taking a nap at noon, the aunt dreamed about her granddaughter again.

The granddaughter was still under the mountain, but this time steel bars were erected around the granddaughter to provide her with a small space so that she would not be oppressed by the mountain.

The granddaughter looked at her grandma with a smile, "Thank you, grandma, I don't feel so bad now."

The aunt wanted to reach out to pull her granddaughter out, but she couldn't touch her granddaughter no matter what.

"Grandma is useless, I will never get out."

"My dear grandson, listen to grandma, grandma met a tall man on the street today, and he said he would rescue you soon." The aunt yelled at her granddaughter.

"My dear grandson... just wait a little longer..."

The aunt suddenly opened her eyes and found that she was still at home.

Thinking of what happened in the dream again, she got up from the bed, went to the door and knelt down, devoutly nibbling three heads.

***

Xia Guhan and Xia Gujiang left the town, and Xia Gujiang drove to Dayun Town.

On the way, Xia Gujiang looked at Xia Guhan from time to time.To be honest, the fact that Xia Guhan gave the aunt a talisman surprised him a bit.Thinking about it again, it seems reasonable, Xia Guhan seems to be such a person.He seems to be indifferent to everything, but takes everything in his heart.

Xia Guhan was already asleep and was not disturbed by Xia Gujiang's eyes.

Xia Gujiang withdrew his gaze and continued to drive. The supercar with good performance sped past on the cement road, leaving a roar all the way.

Twenty minutes later, majestic villas appeared in Xia Gujiang's field of vision, and the road under his feet had somehow become wider, and the cement had been replaced by asphalt.

The asphalt road is smooth and tidy, leading all the way to the small town with many villas in front.

There is a big stone standing on the roadside approaching the small town, and three characters are engraved on the stone - Universiade Town.

The bright red supercar drove into Dayun Town.

Xia Guhan, who was sleeping soundly with his head tilted, suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt that Gu Jinnian was in Universiade Town.

***

Gu Jinnian was indeed in Universiade Town, but not in the center of the town, but on a mountain northwest of Universiade Town, which was the former site of Gaojia Village.

Yesterday morning he turned into a woman to go to Dr. Chen's appointment. When he arrived at the restaurant, Dr. Chen was already waiting.

Although Dr. Chen concealed it well, Gu Jinnian could still see the urgency in her eyes.

Gu Jinnian pretended not to know, and sat down gracefully in front of Dr. Chen, "Good morning, Dr. Chen."

"Good morning, Miss Gu." Dr. Chen smiled softly.

Just as the waiter came over with coffee, Dr. Chen asked the waiter to put the coffee in front of Gu Jinnian, "I don't know Miss Gu's taste, so I ordered a cup of coffee for Miss Gu on my own initiative. This is the specialty of this store. Gu Jinnian Miss, you can try it."

"Sorry, I don't drink coffee." Gu Jinnian pushed the coffee cup forward a little, seeing Doctor Chen's slightly stiff expression.

The stiffness on Dr. Chen's face only appeared for a moment, and she quickly covered it up, "I'm really sorry, what would Miss Gu want to drink? Milk or black tea?"

Gu Jinnian wondered if he said he didn't drink it, would Dr. Chen pour coffee into his mouth himself?

Of course, just thinking about it.

After all, fish bite the bait and will run away when they are in a hurry.

So Gu Jinnian nodded, "I'll just drink water."

Dr. Chen looked at the waiter and urged, "Bring a glass of water quickly."

Gu Jinnian stopped the waiter, "I only drink bottled water."

This time even the waiter froze, his face sank.

Dr. Chen was also taken aback by Gu Jinnian's pretentiousness. He was stunned for a while before pulling the slightly stiff corners of his mouth, "Miss Gu is a fastidious person."

Gu Jinnian smiled gracefully, his sitting posture was reserved and elegant, and his temperament was extraordinary.

The waiter came back soon, and brought back a bottle of mineral water of a certain high-end brand, making sure that Gu Jinnian couldn't go wrong with it.

Gu Jinnian was quite satisfied, so he unscrewed the bottle cap and took a small sip.

In fact, as soon as the water was in his hand, Gu Jinnian noticed that there was a special energy fluctuation in it, even an elephant could be overwhelmed by this energy fluctuation.

Of course, it had no effect on Gu Jinnian.

However, after acting and doing a full set, Gu Jinnian's head began to "dizzy" after taking a sip of water.

He leaned on the table, looked at Dr. Chen in a daze, and asked, "Did you add..."

Before he finished speaking, he got down on the ground.

Lie on the ground for a long time, probably after confirming that he was really fainted, two tall men walked into the coffee shop, one of them held Gu Jinnian on one side, and lifted Gu Jinnian to the back door of the coffee shop.

There was already a car waiting at the back door, and when he saw someone coming out, he immediately opened the car door and stuffed Gu Jinnian in.

Gu Jinnian closed his eyes tightly the whole time, as if he didn't know anything about personnel.

But everything around him is under his control.

The driver was wearing a mask, showing only a pair of dark eyes. When he saw Gu Jinnian, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he said to Dr. Chen who followed him: "This time the goods are good. When you give birth to a good baby, do you want to buy it?" It will definitely come true.”

Dr. Chen smiled contentedly, "Then I'll just wait for the good news."

Not long after, the car started.

Gu Jinnian "saw" the car leaving Wuzhou City and finally driving into a place called Dayun Town.

When we arrived at Dayun Town, the car bumped up the mountain before stopping, and finally stopped in a dilapidated village.

The tile-roofed houses are dotted all over the high and low mountains, and the windows of each house are closed tightly. It seems that something is blocking the windows, and it looks dark in the past.

The whole village is very quiet, no birdsong, cats and dogs barking, not even children playing.

Weeds are all over the village road, and there is no one in sight.

Gu Jinnian was driven out of the car, walked along the village road, and finally stopped in front of a small bungalow on the second floor.

Gu Jinnian could see the mottled house number hanging in front of the bungalow, and could vaguely see the words: No. 13, Gaojia Village.

The iron door of the bungalow opened, and Gu Jinnian was carried in.

The people inside whistled when they saw Gu Jinnian, their lustful eyes fell on Gu Jinnian's lap, and the sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

"Boss, this product is right today."

The man who was carrying Gu Jinnian's mask gave the man a blank look, "Take your eyeballs back, today's goods have been taken care of, you can't even touch them!"

The man ate and hung up, and quickly looked away. The man in the mask went up to the second floor, and took the key to open the middle room.

The masked man carried Gu Jinnian inside and put him on the bed.

His eyes fell on Gu Jinnian, and he looked at Gu Jinnian from head to toe before leaving the room and locking the door.

Gu Jinnian didn't "wake up" immediately, because he knew that there was a pair of eyes watching his every move in the dark.

But this doesn't mean that Gu Jinnian doesn't know the situation of this bungalow.

This is a two-story bungalow. The first floor is the hall and kitchen plus a storage room. There are three rooms on the second floor. He is now in the middle room. There are people in the left and right rooms, and they are all women.

They were locked in the room, the windows were sealed, and no light could come in. Only an old tungsten lamp with a faint yellow color was the only bright color in the room.The glass walls of the tungsten lamps had burned black, casting dark shadows on the walls.

The woman on the left is sitting on the edge of the bed, and the one on the right is curled up in a corner.

Their hair is messy, their eyes are numb and dull, and there is no hope.

The woman sitting by the bed had a big belly, like she was holding a washbasin, her feet were already swollen, and it looked like she was going to give birth soon.The girl in the corner has a slightly protruding lower abdomen, obviously she has just been pregnant.

The women in these two rooms were not alone. Gu Jinnian's perception magnified and soon covered the entire village.

He found that almost every tile-roofed house was shutting up a numb and desperate woman.

There are also brightly dressed, hysterical roars wanting to go out. Obviously, like Gu Jinnian, she was arrested here after being stunned.

She knocked on the door like crazy, and kept crying and pleading, but the only response to her was endless silence.

Next to the tile-roofed house where she lived, there was also a woman locked up.Her eyes were slack, she kept tearing her hair, and she muttered mechanically: "You said that the family had no money to build a house, so you tricked me into going home, saying that if I had a baby, the family would have a new house. But now the new The house is built, my younger brother can go to college, why should I give birth?"

She repeated this sentence over and over again, but never got an answer.

From the moment she was tricked into returning home, she was no longer a human being, just a reproductive machine.

There is no freedom, no dignity.
