Chapter 74: Vaguely, somewhat familiar
When Lingxi returned to the room, she saw her fourth brother sitting at the table reading a book. She smiled and leaned over to him.

However, the next moment, he was pushed away by a big hand.

Gu Si subconsciously stuffed the album under the pillow, then pulled the towel hanging next to it and wrapped the little girl's head: "How come your hair came out with wet hair?

What if I catch a cold in the wind? "

Lingxi obediently let Gu Si do what he wanted, "I wiped it, it's not dripping anymore."

"That won't work either. It's not dry enough."

Lingxi said "oh" and felt guilty, so she didn't refute it.

Seeing this, Gu Si breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the red lacquered wooden box that he had just thrown aside, and thought of the... picture album under the pillow.

After he wiped Lingxi's hair, he laid down with the little girl in his arms, his heart pounding...

Lingxi yawned, a little surprised: "Fourth brother, you are not going out to the yard tonight?"

But think about it, Fourth Brother went out to absorb energy for cultivation, it is normal to take a break when he is tired of cultivation, after thinking so, Lingxi understood and was no longer entangled.

She directly stuffed herself into Gu Si's arms, then closed her eyes obediently, and before falling asleep she muttered, "Good night, Fourth Brother."

Gu Si: “…”

!!!

His expression instantly cracked.

He actually stayed out until midnight last night.

He was bored and had nothing to do, so he sent his mental power to the old Gu family to break through the firewall of Gu Daya's group.

Now again...

He was just about to say something when suddenly a flash of lightning streaked across the sky outside. A moment later, thunder roared. Frightened, Lingxi burrowed into Gu Si's arms again.

Gu Si couldn't think of anything else at this moment.

He subconsciously pulled the little girl closer to him, raised his hands to cover her ears, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Fourth Brother is here."

Lingxi hummed and rubbed her little face against him.

I can't sleep again now.

Soon, raindrops began to fall, followed by the sound of whistling wind.

Strong winds, heavy rain, and occasional flashes of lightning illuminate the night.

This was the first time Lingxi had seen such heavy rain! There was a great formation in the Undead Sky, so the weather was always mild and comfortable. It had rained before in the past six months, but it had never been as heavy as today.

She was a little worried.

"Dad is in the mountains."

Gu Si, who was struggling to commit a crime: "..."

Why mention the father-in-law?!

That bit of eagerness disappeared in an instant.

He was helpless...

The father-in-law was here to afflict him, and he was so angry that he lowered his head and bit the girl's shoulder.

Lingxi was tickled and kept dodging, laughing out loud.

Gu Si was even more helpless. He pressed her back into his arms and coaxed her, "Be good, don't worry. This is definitely not the first time Dad has encountered such bad weather. He must have a way."

This was all he could say about An Lingxi's feelings, but he couldn't really say for sure.

The moment Gu Si finished speaking, lightning flashed, illuminating the room briefly, rumbling thunder rang in his ears, and then the sound of something collapsing came through the rain.

Lingxi screamed in shock.

"It's okay, the tree fell."

Gu Si embraced the person but his eyes fell on the window, staring at the direction of the mountain, and there was a bit of solemnity in his sparkling peach blossom eyes...

He was completely distracted and gently patted Lingxi's back, his voice soft and soothing with a hint of spiritual power.

Lingxi fell into a deep sleep soon.

Early in the morning, it was drizzling outside.

Lingxi got up a little early. The air was fresh after the rain, but she could vaguely hear some noisy noises coming from the village, occasionally mixed with some crying.

Gu Si was not at home at the moment. She only vaguely remembered that when she was half asleep, her fourth brother seemed to have told her that he wanted to go to the village. Lingxi glanced at the muddy road outside and had no intention of going out.

Lingxi's boxes in the room had been put back in their original places by Gu Si, and Lingxi didn't even think about looking for things.

She ate the breakfast her fourth brother left for her and found a clean bowl to knead the dough.

The buns she had saved were almost gone. The bun seller was quite skilled, but the stuffing made by her fourth brother was even better. Lingxi planned to make more at home.

Gu Si came back holding an umbrella, and he smiled when he saw Lingxi.

"Are you awake? Have you eaten yet?
Fourth Brother just went into the village to check on the situation and thought he would be back before you got up."

"I've eaten." She shook off the dough on her hands. "I could vaguely hear some noises in the village. I couldn't sleep."

Seeing that his fourth brother had washed his hands and was about to take over from her, he quickly refused: "You go and chop the meat, I can knead the dough."

Lingxi is not as delicate as they think.

Her soul has its own self-healing ability. Recently, the dull pain in her soul has been significantly reduced, and her body is getting better and better.

After hearing this, Gu Si no longer insisted on not asking Ling Xi to do it. He told her what he saw in the village.

Due to the heavy rain last night, the nearly thousand-year-old locust tree in the center of the village fell down, and the trunk was split in half by lightning.

The villagers had always regarded the old locust tree as the guardian tree of the village. Now that the tree was chopped down and fell down, many elderly people could not accept it.

Mrs. Zhao, who made a living by performing shaman dances in the early years, was kneeling there and muttering to herself, causing panic among the people.

If you remember, we are not allowed to engage in feudal superstitions now.

I guess everyone in the village would kneel down.

When Gu Si went over, he saw a lot of people surrounding Mrs. Zhao, looking worried.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Lingxi was a little curious: "Those shamans, oh, and fortune tellers, do they really have real abilities?"

Gu Si shook his head: "I don't know. There are few with real skills. In the past, I could occasionally meet a few Taoists and monks who had some abilities, but during the war, they were almost wiped out. Now I don't know how many are left."

Gu Si saw Ling Xi's curiosity and smiled, "Before Fourth Brother fell asleep, in the Magic City.

At that time, I had a monk and a Taoist priest under my command. They drew talismans and told fortunes. I don’t know if they were accurate, but the talismans they drew were somewhat useful, but not very useful.”

Seeing that Lingxi was really curious, he explained to her to what extent it was of little use.

If you don't wear the amulet and get hit by a bullet, you will be penetrated through. But after wearing it, the bullet will stay in the body.

Probably, it's the kind of thing where you have to die if you deserve to.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is really very different from their spiritual world.

but--

Now that they are living in a relatively peaceful era, they won't have to face bullets flying everywhere at any time. If they really need a talisman, it may actually be useful when they encounter some falls, bumps and bruises.

When Gu Si heard Lingxi say this, he nodded.

He thought about it carefully: "It's only been more than ten years, Xuanming and Jueyuan are still alive and well, and those two old guys are cunning and sly, I guess I don't know where they are hiding now.

I don’t know if I can find it. If I do, I’ll ask them to draw a few stacks for you to play with.

Pei Yanning came back in the rain and heard these words as soon as he entered the yard.

Pei Yanning keenly captured the two key names Xuanming Jueyuan, and he stopped there.

Sounds vaguely familiar.

The next moment, he walked into the house as if nothing had happened.
