In the Ancestral Hall, Wen Yi respectfully gave the ancestors an incense's time, and then turned to face Wen Que, his face cold to the point that it seemed like there was a layer of frost on it.

Wen Que originally wanted to say a few words of praise, to let Chu Chi stay a few more days, but after seeing the situation, he was unable to say anything.

"Give an incense stick to the ancestors as well." Wen Yi said.

Wen Que did as he was told.

"Do you remember when Yellowbrow died and asked you to bury him?" Wen Yi asked.

Wen Que nodded.

Yellowbrow was his family's dog. At the time of his death, he was eight years old and had just started his first year of primary school in the village.

That day, Yellow Beard was extremely abnormal. Normally, it would never come out of its den, and it was also because of this that Wen Que didn't like it at all. It was raining heavily that day, but Huang Mei was lying on the small path in front of her house, looking in the direction of the guest. When Wen Que came back from school, she had already died.

After swallowing his breath, Wen Yi used the warm water with the addition of the rosin to bathe it. He washed its teeth, claws, and every corner of its body completely clean. But seeing Wen Yi's serious expression, he did not dare disobey him.

Wen Que patiently used a brush to wash Huang Mei's front legs. Normally, when he walked, he would see her limp, but a large piece of flesh was missing from her front legs, her fur covered her bones, and after her fur got wet, her black bones were exposed. Wen Que felt her hair and was somewhat shocked, thinking whether it had fought with a dog in the village or with a wild boar on the mountain.

Yellowbrow's entire body was dry. He didn't have any meat, and his hair was usually fluffy, but after getting wet, he could see everything clearly. The veins and veins all over his body were like spider webs.

After cleaning the corpse, Wen Yi used a piece of cotton to dry it, and then used a layer of scented oil and a layer of scented powder to wrap it up in layers of cloth, and placed it into the coffin that was already completed long ago.

That coffin was exactly the same as the coffins used by the elders who passed away in Wen Family.

After that, Wen Family asked the Daoist Priest to act as the training hall for Huang Mei for three days and three nights. Even though he was still young, he understood something. He refused to be a filial son of a dog no matter what, and in the end, he was beaten up by Wen Yi until he was afraid.

After sending it up the mountain, the elders and young masters of Wen Family all kowtowed to this dog's grave. Wen Que kowtowed the most.

After that, every year during the new year, Wen Que would be brought up the mountain by Wen Yi to pay respects to Huang Mei.

Wen Que was extremely puzzled by this, and had always had a repulsive attitude. When he grew up, he finally started to understand that there was a cyan serpent spirit at the back of the mountain that had caused the death of his grandfather and two uncles. Huang Mei had killed the cyan serpent spirit, otherwise, more people would have died from Wen Family.

Although he was skeptical of the rumors in the villages after school, and had asked Wen Yi for confirmation many times, Wen Yi had always kept his mouth shut and never told him about it.

"Then do you remember when you were young and sleepwalking?" Wen Yi asked again.

Wen Que nodded his head again as he looked at Wen Yi suspiciously, as he did not know why he suddenly mentioned the two things.

Wen Yi said: "When you were three years old, I woke up one night to find that the door to your room was opened. I was so frightened that I thought there was a child thief in the house, so I called everyone in the house and found you on the threshing floor outside the door. You were crawling out in the dark. After I picked you up, your hands and feet were still moving like a turtle's. I thought I forgot to close the door and let you slip out. But since then, your sleepwalking has happened from time to time. We tried everything we could to get you to sleep in the middle of it, or to put you in an open earthenware jar, or even to tie you up with rope and lock the door after you went to bed. You can always crawl out of the house. After climbing for more than a dozen miles at a time, they were almost at the Locking Snake Pond. Fortunately, Xue Yu's father brought his dog to chase you, otherwise … "

When Wen Que heard this, his heart trembled. He could no longer remember when he was young, but knew that it was something strange.

Everything was quiet, and he was the only one walking in the darkness. Perhaps, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the darkness.

How had he managed to cross the mountain stream, avoid the cliffs, and avoid the ferocious beasts?

There were many cases of wild boar attacks in the village, and Uncle Li was a hunter who had gone hunting on the mountain the previous year and was knocked down by the wild boars. Although he had been saved, his face had been chewed into pieces, his nose had fallen, his mouth was crooked, and was even more terrifying than a wild boar's face.

"It's precisely this time that your grandfather thinks that you have been chosen by the snake essence of the Locking Serpent Pool and wants to eat you. However, it was locked, so I used a bewitching magic to tempt you to voluntarily send it to me. " Wen Yi said.

"Is there really a Spirit Snake in that pool?" Wen Que laughed involuntarily, even though the rumors in the village had been around for a long time, they were all rumors and nobody took it seriously. This was the first time he heard it from his most trusted family, and it was in such a serious situation.

"You think it's too fake?" Wen Yi turned to look at the tablet, "Grandfather and your two uncles both died in the pool. "I almost died there too. We all saw that snake with our own eyes …"

Wen Que's Adam's apple involuntarily gurgled, and he finally understood why Huang Mei was placed in the Wen Family's Ancestral Shrine, and why he was treated like a filial son by a dog.

"They could have died, because the snake took a fancy to you." Wen Yi said expressionlessly.

Wen Que's tears silently dripped down, all sorts of emotions flooded into his heart, making him feel uncomfortable. The originally unfamiliar name on the spirit tablet seemed to come to life in an instant. Faces appeared before his eyes.

His grandfather and two uncles had died for him!

"After eating three lives of our Wen Family, that giant serpent calmed down for a while." Wen Yi continued, "In this period of time, your Uncle Husheng used the unique skill that was passed down in his family, and went out of the sect for three years, and finally brought back Yellowbrow. The entire village could hear it, but the next day, it was impossible to see any traces of it. It was only one day a month later that yellow-browed man fell outside the door covered in blood, and together with him was a two-meter-long green snake. Yellow browed man's head was bitten into pieces. "After killing Green Snake, Huang Mei, who was originally vigorous and healthy, quickly aged. In less than a few days, she had become old, afraid of the wind and the water. After half a year, she finally died."

"Huang Mei killed Green Snake? Didn't the Spirit Snake get locked up? " Wen Que asked subconsciously, he was really anxious to know the whole story.

"Huang Mei only killed one of Green Snake's avatars; his real body is still in the pond." Wen Yi said, "More than ten years have passed, and it has begun to stir up trouble again."

Wen Que thought back to last night when he was sleepwalking. Turns out the green serpent spirit had not died yet, and it still wanted to harm him!

"Your Uncle Husheng has brought back a few people from the outside. Tomorrow, I will go up the mountain with them. " Wen Yi paused for a moment before continuing, "I know that you want to study in the city, but there are some things that you need to take responsibility for. If I don't return, you're the only man left in our family …"

Wen Que raised his head, looked at Wen Yi, he could understand the meaning behind his father's words, and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only solemnly nod his head.

A crow stood on the beam above the temple, the whites of its eyes popping out from time to time.

Neither Wen Que nor Wen Yi noticed it.

He hurriedly got up and followed to the entrance. At dawn, everything outside the house was still very hazy, and he saw Wen Yi walking at the very front of the group, further and further away from his home. Wen Que did not sleep at all.

In the guest room of the pavilion, Chu Chi sat by the window and looked at Wen Que.

He thought that the matter of him going to find the Flower Girl might have to be postponed for a while.
