Chapter 152: Raising Corpses (Part 2)

Chapter 152: Raising a Corpse to the Earth (Part 2)

When Zhou Zhenglin saw Zhou Qinglan treating Xu Changqing so rudely, he looked at her with a little dissatisfaction, and shouted in a sharp tone. "Third Aunt!"

"Okay! I know that the Zhou family's foreign affairs are now your leader, so I won't interfere!" Zhou Qinglan did not intend to argue with her nephew, and glared at Xu Changqing again, and led a few people to the direction of Zhouzhuang.

Zhou Zhenglin smiled bitterly at Xu Changqing apologetically, then clasped his fists and said, "What happened this morning made my third aunt suspicious. I hope Mr. Xu doesn't mind!"

Xu Changqing shook his head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Actually, your aunt guessed it right, and I didn't tell the truth, but I didn't want to explain the reason. After all, this is just my private matter!"

"Is this what the gentleman said he was going to come to Zhoujiazhai to do?" Zhou Zhenglin asked with a little curiosity.

Xu Changqing smiled without objection, without intending to continue the topic. He turned his head to Chen Yuanshan, who was still staring at Zhou Qinglan's back, and asked, "Mr. Chen, did you and Miss Zhou check what have you found around you?"

"It's a pity that nothing was found!" Chen Yuanshan withdrew his gaze toward Zhou Qinglan, with a slightly obsessed expression and said, "But Miss Zhou said that the thing was also seriously injured and might have hid back in the town. In order to prevent them from coming out to harm people again at night, he now takes people to look for it in the town."

"Yeah!" Xu Changqing nodded slightly. Although she was not sure about Zhou Qinglan's Taoist skills, her ability to do things is very unusual now. Then he saw that Chen Yuanshan was still dazed and had not completely come back to his senses, so he teased: "Young Master Zhou, it seems that you have to find a way to treat Mr. Chen's lovesickness, otherwise he would not have the heart to refine alchemy now!"

"Haha! This is indeed a troublesome thing." Zhou Zhenglin smiled and led the two to Zhouzhuang, saying, "It's a pity that my third aunt is dedicated to the Tao. She has already told her ancestors that she will never marry for life, otherwise I will definitely protect Mr. Chen as a matchmaker."

"Don't make fun of Chen, two! What kind of virtue does Chen have? I deserve Miss Zhou!" Chen Yuanshan couldn't help but show regret when he heard Zhou Zhenglin say that his aunt would never marry for life. It seemed that he had already fallen in love.

Xu Changqing smiled and said, "This is just right. Isn't Mr. Chen also devoted himself to the Tao? He happened to be a pair of companions with Miss Zhou and traveling through the sea of ​​fairy mountains and clouds every day. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

Xu Changqing's words immediately made Chen Yuanshan's gradually extinguished mind revived. He was a person who would do it when he thought about it, and immediately asked Zhou Zhenglin about his aunt's preferences. Zhou Zhenglin did not hide it and told him what he knew one by one. Xu Changqing joked from time to time, and the group talked and soon walked to the Zhouzhuang archway.

At this time, more than a dozen people were waiting there in front of the archway, and the leader was a fairly dressed stubborn woman. When she saw Zhou Zhenglin, she immediately came up and shouted before she even arrived in front of her, "My young master Zhenglin, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the ancestors will ask someone to bring you back."

"Old Mama Zhang is so hot, why do you stand in the sun? What should you do if you have heatstroke?" After seeing the old woman, Zhou Zhenglin quickly took a parasol and held it above the old woman's head, and said, "If you have something, just send someone to notify me. Why should you stand outside by yourself?"

"I'll send someone to inform you, will you listen?" The old woman knocked Zhou Zhenglin on the head and said a little annoyed.

Zhou Zhenglin smiled awkwardly, touching the place being knocked, looking like a little grandson. Judging from Zhou Zhenglin's title and respect for the old woman, this old woman should be a long-term worker in the Zhou family, and the person who serves is the oldest old lady in the Zhou family.

Just as Old Mama Zhang held Zhou Zhenglin's hand and was about to walk into Zhouzhuang, she suddenly saw Xu Changqing standing behind her. She was stunned and her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had seen something extraordinary, her eyes were full of surprise and excitement. Zhou Zhenglin and others also noticed something wrong with the old woman and were about to ask, but the old woman had already taken two steps in three steps and quickly walked to Xu Changqing. Regardless of the strange gazes of others around her, she looked at Xu Changqing carefully and said excitedly: "Young man, are your surname Chen?"

Xu Changqing grasped some of the old woman's abnormal behavior. When he heard the old woman ask if her surname was Chen, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he said calmly: "Old man, you have recognized the wrong person! My surname is Chen, my surname is Xu."

"Impossible, how is this possible? It's so similar. Except for the different temperaments, the appearance is almost exactly the same as the lady." When the old woman heard Xu Changqing's answer, her face was very disappointed. She turned around in a daze and walked towards the village alone. After walking a few steps, she looked back at Xu Changqing, then turned around and shook her head, saying, "No, it's him. If the lady gave birth to that child, she would definitely be older than him."

As he spoke, several little maids hurriedly ran forward to support her, led her in, and gradually disappeared in front of everyone.

"Sorry," Zhou Zhenglin looked at Xu Changqing apologetically and said, "This old mother is an old man from my family. She used to serve the aunt I mentioned yesterday. Later, after the aunt disappeared, she has been serving my grandmother, until today. I have never seen her lose her compassion like this before. Maybe Mr. Xu really looks very similar to the person she knew!"

"It's okay! It's normal for human nature." Xu Changqing was calm on the surface, but was extremely excited inside. At this moment, he finally knew what his surname was, and also knew the man's surname and the insider of the whole matter. With a specific goal, this matter seemed no longer so urgent for Xu Changqing. He had to wait until he found the Si Ling Zhenxi before slowly starting to deal with this matter.
