Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 155: Blessing

"Sister, how come Sister Huanhuan's acting is so good? She's almost as good as a professional actor."

"You just found out? If she really starts acting, all those professional actors will be laid off."

"Well, so I'd better stay in the old house and stay by your side."

"Tsk, you want to back down after a little setback? Are you worthy of being my brother?"

"Sister, that's not a setback, that's a return to the right path, a complete awakening."

"Return to the right path? Awake completely? What does that mean?"

"I now completely understand that the feelings I have for Sister Huanhuan are not so-called love, but family affection."

"Little brat, what do you know about love? It was originally your unrequited love, and now you are just coming back to the right path."

"Yeah, yeah, if you get lost, you will find the way back."

"Hush, they entered the old house."

"Sister, do you think Sister Huanhuan can be a match for the Willow Fairy?"

"You should ask if the Willow Spirit can be a match for your sister Huanhuan?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Who is Sister Huanhuan? She is invincible in the world."

"is it?"

"Of course she will always be defeated by you."

"Do I need to fight her?"

"No need, no need."

"Stop talking nonsense and enter your respective monitoring points according to the plan."

"Yes."

Dan'er went west and Zhuhuan went east. The two returned from the cave under the big camphor tree and ran in two directions to the originally set monitoring points to monitor the actions of Lan Yuliu and the weasel.

Lan Yuliu finally persuaded Lu Huan to return to the old house with great sincerity. Feeling relieved, she went into the main house and personally served Lu Huan a cup of tea. Lu Huan was not polite and drank it down, went upstairs to the room where he used to live, and fell asleep on the bed.

Fake Lu Bo asked Lan Yuliu: "Why is she like this?"

"This is how she is, Lu Huan. I like it." Lan Yuliu walked out of the main house, knelt down facing the west, opened her hands, and shouted, "Grandpa, Dad, my granddaughter and daughter want to tell you the good news. Not only have we found the whereabouts of the treasures that Lan Yu hid in the old house, but you also have great-great-grandsons, great-great-granddaughters, and granddaughters."

After shouting, Lan Yuliu kowtowed three times, stood up and asked the fake Lu Bo who was standing under the eaves of the main house: "Is there any movement at the Weasel's house?"

"Not yet," the fake Rubeur replied.

Lan Yuliu glanced at the half-cut persimmon tree in front of Zhu Hu's house and said to the fake Lu Bo, "Let's all be alert and act on time at midnight tonight."

"Yes." The fake Rubeur went over and knocked on the half-cut persimmon tree three times.

Lan Yuliu waited for the fake Lu Bo to return to her side, and then she lowered her voice and said to him, "Go to the construction site and get my big box, and ask them to come with you. Remember, if you meet outsiders on the road, kill them all."

"Yes." The fake Rube agreed and left the old house.

Lan Yuliu returned to the main house, went upstairs and saw Lu Huan still sleeping soundly, so she began to change clothes. She had already brought a large box to the main house.

“Yu Yu, Lan Lan, Yu Yu, Lan Lan…” Lu Huan shouted loudly.

Lan Yuliu hurried over and asked, "What? What happened?"

"Yu Yu, Lan Lan, Yu Yu, Lan Lan..." Lu Huan closed his eyes and kept calling out.

Lan Yuliu leaned over and gently stroked Lu Huan's hair that was scattered on the pillow, and asked softly, "Did you dream?"

"Yu Yu, Lan Lan, Yu Yu, Lan Lan..." Lu Huan continued to mutter in his sleep.

Seeing that Lu Huan was not awake, Lan Yuliu straightened up and continued to change clothes. She was originally wearing a blue work suit, but now she changed into a black tights, which was the same suit that Zhu Huan had seen before and she told him was a swimsuit.

"Yu Yu, Lan Lan, Yu Yu, Lan Lan...Ah? Where am I?" Lu Huan suddenly sat up from the bed.

Lan Yuliu had just changed her clothes and went over to comfort Lu Huan: "This is the main house of the old house. Did you have a nightmare?"

"The main house of the old house? How did I get back here? Where is my Yu Yu? Where is my Lan Lan?" Lu Huan got off the bed and looked around the house.

Lan Yuliu followed Lu Huan closely, and after she had searched for a while, she asked her, "Your Yuyu? Your Lanlan? Are they my nephew and niece?"

"How do you know? How do you know? Where are they? Where are they?" Lu Huan grabbed Lan Yuliu's arm and asked anxiously.

Lan Yuliu helped Lu Huan sit down on the bed and soothed her softly, "Don't think too much. Calm down first. I'll go get you some water."

When Lan Yuliu poured a glass of water for Lu Huan, Lu Huan had already returned to normal. He said to Lan Yuliu embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I really miss my Yuyu and Lanlan so much."

"Why are you still polite to me? I am the children's biological aunt. Huanhuan, were the two children named by Yulan?" Lan Yuliu handed the cup to Lu Huan.

After taking a few sips of water, Lu Huan asked Lan Yuliu, "Who is Yulan?"

"He is my biological brother and the father of these children." Lan Yuliu sat next to Lu Huan.

Lu Huan pondered for a while and said to Lan Yuliu, "I only knew that my father named him Wang 龘 (dá) 朤 (lǎng). When he went to apply for his ID card, he filled in Wang Longyue. I like to call him Wang Yanjing, and he also likes me to call him that. But he didn't know that I had his children. I gave them nicknames myself. I hope that the girl can be as pure as white jade and the boy can be as broad as the blue sea."

"Really? Really? It's God's will, it's God's will!" Lan Yuliu excitedly hugged Lu Huan's shoulders and shook him.

Lu Huan said to Lan Yuliu quietly, "If you go to visit him in there, can you please not tell him about this first? I hope he can reform well in there and not be distracted by having a child."

"Good, good, good, you are really my good Huanhuan. My family is more fortunate to have a good daughter-in-law like you than to get those treasures hidden by Lan Yu in the old house." Lan Yuliu's excitement was beyond words. Lu Huan was puzzled: "Those treasures hidden by Lan Yu in the old house? What treasures? Who is Lan Yu?"

"No, nothing, nothing. Huanhuan, I have something to give you." Lan Yuliu got up and took out an exquisite box from the big box and handed it to Lu Huan.

Lu Huan opened it and exclaimed, "What a fine inkstone!"

"Huanhuan, this is the 'Fu' character Duan inkstone produced by Prince Gong's Mansion. I loved it the first time I saw it. Look, this inkstone is painted with a picture of a hundred blessings, with the 'No. 1 Blessing in the World' being the first one painted on it. It symbolizes auspicious fortune and abundant blessings." Lan Yuliu pointed at the inkstone and explained to Lu Huan.

Lu Huan couldn't let it go, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yeah, yeah."

"Huanhuan, look, there is a Fu pond in the middle of the inkstone, and the word Fu echoes the architectural shape of the Fu pond, which is rich in meaning..." Lan Yuliu continued to explain to Lu Huan the Gongwang Mansion [Fu Character Duan Inkstone] that she treasured.

Without waiting for Lan Yuliu to finish her explanation, Lu Huan asked hastily, "Does it mean both talent and wealth? Abundant fortune and wealth?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my Huanhuan is so smart." Lan Yuliu hugged Lu Huan in her arms.

Lu Huan carefully wrapped up the [Fuzi Duan Inkstone], put it in his arms, and said to himself: "I must take Yuyu and Lanlan to visit Prince Gong's Mansion if I have the chance."

"You must go. As their aunt, I will buy lots of 'The Best Blessing in the World' series gifts for Yuyu and Lanlan." Lan Yuliu was happier than Lu Huan when she saw how much he liked the Duan inkstone.

Lu Huan asked: "Does Prince Gong's Mansion have many gifts of 'the greatest blessing in the world'?"

"Of course, Prince Gong's Mansion has many 'The Greatest Blessing in the World' series of cultural and creative products, including not only cultural product series, but also daily necessities series and food series," Lan Yuliu introduced.

Lu Huan was surprised: "There is also a food series? Then I must eat enough. Not only do I want to eat enough myself, I also want Yu Yu and Lan Lan to eat enough."

"Huanhuan, where are Yuyu and Lanlan now?" Lan Yuliu got to the point.

Lu Huan did not give a direct answer, but said with resentment: "I really want to be with them, but for their safety, I have to separate from them."

"Well, I know what you are worried about. But Huanhuan, please rest assured, I will accomplish a big thing soon and take my brother out soon." Lan Yuliu went downstairs and into the hall, where the fake Luber had already brought over her other big box.

Opening the big box, Lan Yuliu took out a backpack and put it on her shoulder, then said to the fake Lu Bo, "You stay in the house with Huanhuan."

"No, I want to go with you." Lu Huan walked down the stairs and came to Lan Yuliu.

Lan Yuliu Lalu Huan went aside and explained to her softly: "Huanhuan, I have to do something important. This important matter is related to whether Yuyu and Lanlan can see their father as soon as possible? It is related to whether they can become superior people in the future."

"Then I must go with you even more." Lu Huan insisted. Lan Yuliu asked Lu Huan: "Why do you have to go with me?"

Lu Huan replied: "Since it is such a big thing, it must be very dangerous, so I must go with you. I can help you share the risk."

"Huanhuan, with what you said, I can close my eyes even if I die, but I will never let you go with us, because this thing is really dangerous." Lan Yuliu refused to let Lu Huan go with her no matter what.

Lu Huan pouted and said, "If you don't let me go with you, I will never tell you where Yuyu and Lanlan are?"

"Huanhuan, don't act like a child. This matter is really dangerous. Yuyu and Lanlan can't live without you. You must listen to me." Lan Yuliu patiently persuaded Lu Huan.

Lu Huan just wouldn't listen, and finally turned around and walked out of the main house by himself, saying to Lan Yuliu as he walked: "I will leave the old house tonight, and leave this world, leaving Yuyu and Lanlan without a mother forever, and you will never find them, and they will be orphans forever."

"No, no, no, please don't. Huanhuan, go back and listen to what I have to say." Lan Yuliu caught up with Lu Huan.

Lu Huan pushed Lan Yuliu away: "I don't want to hear your nice words. I know you haven't believed me yet, and I won't believe you either. I have long been disappointed with your brother. I came to the old house today just to take a last look at it. Yuyu, Lanlan, mom is gone, mom is gone..." Lu Huan cried and slammed his head against the screen wall. The fake Lu Bo, who had been following Lu Huan, rushed over to block Lu Huan, but was still knocked to the ground by Lu Huan and couldn't get up for a long time.

Lan Yuliu went over and hugged Lu Huan tightly, crying and saying to Lu Huan: "Huanhuan, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is really too dangerous. Do you know? Yuyu and Lanlan's great-grandfather and grandfather both died because of this matter, so I will never let Yuyu and Lanlan lose their mother."

"In that case, I must go with you, unless you don't want to go either, because I don't want Yu Yu and Lan Lan to lose their aunt." Lu Huan said while sobbing, which made Lan Yuliu burst into tears. She pulled Lu Huan back to the main house and told her the whole truth.

Lan Yuliu not only told Lu Huan everything about the Liu family and the Jianliu clan, but also told him about the treasures that Lan Yu had hidden in the old house.

Lu Huan was shocked when he heard this, but he still didn't believe it. It wasn't that he didn't believe the Liu family or the Jianliu Sect, but he didn't believe Lan Yu. As a general of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for him to hide any treasure in such a deep mountain forest.
Lan Yuliu said that this is not a legend, but a record in unofficial history and passed down from mouth to mouth.

Lu Huan said that unofficial history is unofficial history after all, not real history. Word of mouth is always word of mouth, that is, legend, without factual basis.

Lan Yuliu said that there was factual basis for this: all the experts from the Jianliu Sect, a major tomb-robbing sect, could smell a strong scent of treasure after arriving at the old house, including her grandfather, her father, and herself.

Lu Huan said that such an old house is a treasure. Even a young girl like her can feel it, let alone masters like them?
Lan Yuliu said that the old house was indeed a treasure, but the smell of the treasures was different from the smell they smelled. That was the smell of gold, silver and jewelry, and the smell of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Lu Huan said, anyway, I don’t believe that if you do such a fictitious thing, you can just find a way to open the rooms in the main house of the old house and steal the treasures inside.

Lan Yuliu smiled, very happily, because Lu Huan was really simple. She smiled and said to Lu Huan that there were indeed many treasures in the main house of the old house, but compared with the treasures hidden by Lan Yu in the old house, they were nothing. One was a high mountain and the other was a low hill, one was the sea and the other was a stream, one was a big tree and the other was a small grass. There was simply no comparison. Besides, the main house of the old house seemed to belong to her, but it was not that simple to actually enter each room, especially the room and study of the Eight Immortals of the Badger. There must be all kinds of traps and ambushes inside, which would take your life if you were not careful. Instead of sacrificing your life, it would be better to climb mountains, swim in the sea, and climb big trees.

Lu Huan nodded, thinking that what Lan Yuliu said made sense, but he still doubted whether those treasures really existed.
Lan Yuliu told Lu Huan that the treasures definitely existed and were right under Taiping Pond.

"Under Taiping Pond? Is it possible?" Lu Huan became even more unconvinced when he heard Lan Yuliu say that Lan Yu hid the treasure under Taiping Pond.

Lan Yuliu said to Lu Huan with certainty: "From our investigation and analysis, and from the words of the weasel couple, Lan Yu hid the treasure under Taiping Pond."

"You believe what the weasel and soybean paste say? One is short-sighted and the other is a mess. It's better to believe the squinting woman than to believe them." Lu Huan still didn't believe it.

Lan Yuliu said, "I do believe the slant-eyed woman. She once told me that when Zhu Hu's father was alive, he once got drunk and revealed that there was a treasure under Taiping Pond."

"Okay, even if you believe them and believe that what they said is true, you should use your brain to think about it. Can there be any treasures hidden under Taiping Pond? Even if no one steals them, it is so humid under Taiping Pond that wouldn't those treasures have rotted away long ago? Also, since so many people know that Lan Yu hid the treasures under Taiping Pond, why didn't they steal them? Would they be so kind to keep them until today? Leave them to you? Especially Zhu Hu's father, that weasel and Huang Doujiang, they are all ruthless people." Lu Huan's analysis made more sense than Lan Yuliu's.

Lan Yuliu nodded and said to Lu Huan, "Your thinking is normal, but you can never think normally about treasures. That's right, since Lan Yu hid the treasure in the old house, many people have tried their best to take it for themselves, but no one has succeeded so far. That's because the ambush set by Lan Yu is not an ordinary ambush. It can be said that the ambush he set is still the top ambush."

"Hahaha, come on, the ambush set up by Lan Yu is still the most advanced one? Is it possible? What era is it now? Pistols and bombs are already outdated, and we even have laser weapons." Lu Huan laughed.

Lan Yuliu was not angry, but patiently advised Lu Huan, "Huanhuan, I can't explain it to you for a while. Anyway, it will be very dangerous for me to explore the treasure house tonight. You just stay here and I will be back before dawn. If I can't come back, don't be sad. Follow your father and leave here. Wait for Yuyu Lanlan's father to come out and then find a way to get these treasures."

"No, no, no, you can't go. Yuyu and Lanlan can't lose their aunt. If you must go, then I must go too. I can definitely help you." Lu Huan held Lan Yuliu's hands tightly.

Just as the two were arguing, the fake Lu Bo came over to report to Lan Yuliu: "Boss, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

"Okay, let's proceed as planned." Lan Yuliu stood up and saw that Lu Huan was still holding her hand tightly. She said to her helplessly, "Then go ahead, but remember, you must follow me, follow behind me, and don't leave me for a moment."
