I was wrong, I was really wrong!

Chapter 11 Re-entering the Tiger's Mouth

"..." Qi Shan had nothing to say.

"It's a business to call you here this time. I have something to ask you for help." Qi Xu said seriously, "Actually, I should ask your parents for a favor, but I also need your permission."

"What's the matter?" As long as it's not about those old calendars, Qi Shan is still willing to help.

Seeing that his tone was loose, Qi Xu pointed at the baby in Qi Shan's arms, "That's him, I hope your family can adopt him."

Qi Shan froze for a moment, "Why do you want my family to adopt?"

"You are the only child in your family, right?" Qi Xu asked.

Qi Shan nodded.

Qi Xu said again: "As far as I know, your mother's working hours are very free. You are so old, you spend far more time outside than at home, and you can't always accompany her. Your father is also busy with work, why not adopt him again?" As a child, it’s good to be with your mother.”

Qi Shan inadvertently nodded unconsciously, his mother has indeed complained several times recently, she is really bored when there is no one at home.

Seeing this, Qi Xu continued to persuade, "It's not that I haven't asked about other families, but few parents have time to take care of their children, and some of them are a little distant from the blood relationship of my family. I still hope to find someone closer."

When it came to blood relationship, Qi Shan opened his mouth and started to digress, "By the way, I still want to ask, what is my father's seniority in the Qi family? I feel that the Qi family has enough branches."

Qi Xu didn't say anything to Qi Shan's digression, but instead answered his question with a good temper, "He is a generation older than me. Let's put it this way, he and my adoptive father are cousins, and their grandfather is the same person. So..." She laughed, "You still have to call me sister from now on."

Qi Shan vaguely saw the word proud from her facial expression.It's just a title, but it seems very important to Qi Xu.

Qi Shan was silent for a while. He only called Qi Xu once with the title of "sister", when he knew that Qi Xu was carrying those memories.Reincarnation is too illusory for him, except for the occasional scenes in his dreams that may be his past lives, he has no impression of the two past lives they mentioned.Those two people died a long time ago, leaving him with no feelings about the previous life.So when dreaming, he was like watching a play.

Qi Shan is not an emotional person. Whether it is the past that Qi Xu dictated or the clips that happened in his dreams, they are all like a movie. Knowing that he is not a character in those movies, he will not describe the experiences of those people. and emotions into yourself.He can't empathize, so Qi Shan doesn't like to watch movies, he has no feeling for other people's stories.

Except for relatives and friends, the life of others has nothing to do with him.He doesn't have to laugh with others when they laugh, and he doesn't have to cry with others when they cry.When he can, he will give help to those in need, but that is just pure help, without any emotion.But simple you need it, and I have more, so I can give you a little.

But in Qi Shan's eyes, continuing to entangle with Qi Xu or Qingyu about the past that he can't feel is far beyond the scope of his help.So he rejected everything about his previous life, including that he was Qi Xu's younger brother.

He can be said to be calm, or he can be said to be indifferent, anyway, he is such a person.

He is not Qi Lianyu, nor Qi Tongran, he is just Qi Shan.Qi Shan's life should not be changed because of the existence of the former two.No matter how strong their feelings for a certain person, no matter how strong they were towards Qingyu or Qi Xu, it did not belong to Qi Shan, and Qi Shan could not feel those feelings.He wants to strip himself from those old calendars and live a life that belongs to Qi Shan.

But now, he was a little shaken.

As far as Qi Xu is concerned, no matter how many years have passed, Qi Shan is her younger brother, whether he himself recognizes it or not, this will never change.

But to Qi Shan, Qi Xu is actually no longer an insignificant person.He will subconsciously care about Qi Xu's feelings, but out of instinct, he doesn't want to get involved with anything related to the past.

This makes him very conflicted.

"Leave aside what happened in the past," Qi Shan said after a long silence, and Qi Xu suddenly said, "In this life alone, you have to call me sister according to your seniority." It seemed that she had seen through Qi Shan's thoughts.

"I'll try my best to get used to it." Qi Shan suddenly felt relieved, "...Sister."

Qi Xu nodded happily, but her tone was a bit melancholy, "If I didn't tell you those old things, if you don't know, I told you today that I should call my sister, and you would have called me very simply."

Qi Shan rubbed his nose and flattered his beard habitually, "Yes, suddenly there is such an excellent sister like you, who wakes up laughing when she sleeps."

While the two were talking, the baby stayed quietly in Qi Shan's arms.Zhong Han was idle and bored, so he moved the stool and sat on the side teasing him with a piece of lotus petal.

The baby probably felt itchy when its nose was scratched by the petals, wrinkled its nose, and waved its stubby arms unhappily, trying to sweep away the annoying petals.

When he moved like this, Qi Shan remembered his existence.After hugging for a long time, Qi Shan got used to it, and the baby was so quiet, Qi Shan never thought of returning him to Qi Xu.

Just seeing the baby, I suddenly remembered the adoption I mentioned earlier.Regarding adoption, Qi Shan thought of other issues again, "...Sister," he called out a little awkwardly, "Zhong Han just told me that you have been adopted by the Qi family in every life. Since you have to Going back to Qi's house, why not just be like Qi Lianyu, stay at Qi's house every reincarnation, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

"You think too simple." Qi Xu smiled, "The imprint left on the soul will never be erased. If I do what my father did back then, then I can only be born in the Qi family. In this case , What if one day I give up and I don’t want to go back to Qi’s house, what should I do? Besides, tampering with the soul is actually very damaging, it’s a bad idea, just don’t use it if you can.”

Upon hearing that the soul would be damaged, Qi Shan was suddenly a little worried, "Then I won't have any problems, right?"

"Don't worry, you're fine."

Qi Shan was relieved.But looking back on this sentence, I feel that it is a bit wrong. It is no longer a problem, that is, has there ever been a problem?

I wanted to ask, but it was probably another pot of old vinegar, Qi Shan suddenly didn't want to know anymore.

"Xiaoxu, Jiaqi and I are here." Qi Jiayong's voice came from outside the door.

The door of the main room was not closed, it was wide open, Qi Jiayong stepped over the threshold and sat next to Qi Shan.Qi Shan had already had a lot of resentment towards this Uncle San who disciplined him since he was a child, but now that he was tricked into coming to Nantang Town, he was really insensitive to him. "I slept too little yesterday, and I want to catch up."

"Okay." Qi Xu said, "Anyway, you're fine, go back to sleep."

"Then this child..." Qi Shan lowered his head to gesture to the baby in his arms.

Qi Xu looked at the baby, then at Qi Shan, "It's time for him to go to bed, why don't you take him with you."

Qi Shan was a little embarrassed.Qi Xu smiled, "Zhong Han always bullies him, I don't worry. He is very obedient, you won't have any trouble if you sleep with him."

After hesitating again and again, Qi Shan glanced at his third cousin, and left with the child in his arms.The posture is a bit awkward, and as if afraid of falling off the child, he walks like a turtle crawling.

Qi Jiayong was helpless to the fact that his nephew would rather coax the child than talk to him, looked at Qi Xu and smiled wryly, then cleared his throat, and said to Qi Jiaqi who just sat down: "This is Qi Xu, you should have taught her , one year older than Qi Shan. I never told you before, but she is actually adopted by my elder brother."

"So she is..." Father Qi looked at Qi Xu in surprise, and then at the direction Qi Shan was leaving. Thinking of the many things he had heard from Qi Jiayong before, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly couldn't say the following words.

"Uncle," Qi Xu asked the two elders, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Speaking of this, Qi Jiayong said hesitantly, "Xiao Xu, you also know why we came back, so..." He paused, "So I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Qi Xu asked.

Qi Jiayong was still a little hesitant. Seeing that he was procrastinating, Qi Jiaqi simply opened his mouth first: "Just now our colleagues called and said that they had arrived at the scene. According to the county records, the tomb should belong to Qi Yanheng, so we thought we should ask for it first. Your consent."

Speaking of this matter, Qi Jiaqi's gloomy eyes looking at Qi Shan just now have been replaced by a frenzy.If Jia Qian sees it, he will probably say that his little uncle likes to sleep on the grave as his home.

"Yes." As soon as Qi Jiaqi finished asking, Qi Xu agreed almost immediately, as if the tomb had nothing to do with her.

Looking at the slightly surprised expressions of the two people on the opposite side, Qi Xu said: "He has been dead for more than 400 years, and his soul should have gone to reincarnation long ago. The things in the tomb are all things outside the body. Since he can't take it away, it is for him It doesn't make much sense. He did bad things during his lifetime, and after his death, he will probably have to repay the debts below, and I'm afraid he won't be a wealthy family in his reincarnation."

"The Qi family is a prominent family, and he is the most honorable head of the Qi family. Once this tomb is opened, the archaeological work of the Feng Xia Dynasty in this world will definitely make great progress, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for him." Her expression was always calm, showing no emotion, as if the "he" she was talking about was just a passerby, not her former father. "Besides, his tomb has been damaged by the earthquake, so it won't work if we don't open it. Maybe..." she said, "This is also retribution."

The other colleagues have already gone up the mountain, arrived at the scene and started to make preparations. Qi's father and brothers are busy with work, and they will leave as soon as they get Qi Xu's permission.

"Uncle Wutang," Qi Xu called Dad Qi, "it's rare for you to come back, I have something to ask you."

Dad Qi looked at her with some doubts, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Qi Xu mentioned the baby in Qi Shan's arms just now, and said again what he had said to Qi Shan before.

"I'm afraid this won't work." Qi Dad said, he casually glanced at the seat where Qi Shan was sitting just now, and then turned his gaze back to meet Qi Xu's, "My wife and I are older, adopting such a small child, I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of him in the future."

"This is not a problem." Qi Xu said.

"Then what's the problem?" Papa Qi asked her immediately.

Qi Jiayong helplessly patted Dad Qi on the back, trying to tell him not to be so excited.

Qi Xu replied: "Your family is the most suitable for adopting this child, and other families may not be able to raise it well."

Dad Qi asked: "Why?"

"You know." Qi Xu sighed, "You always knew, didn't you?"

Papa Qi didn't speak any more.Zhong Han sat quietly at the side, and Qi Jiayong automatically lowered his sense of existence.

The room suddenly became quiet, and after a long time, Dad Qi said: "I can adopt him, but you have to promise me that when he grows up, Qi Shan will decide whether he can stay in my house."

Qi Xu smiled, "Of course."
