Peng Zhongfei and Liu Wei felt an inexplicable chill down their spines. “What does it have to do with those three blueprints?”
“Of course it’s related. Let me tell you, on the way, I met a very strange old man.” Gu Yundong expressed that if she was given a fulcrum, she could make up a whole story. “Before that old man died, he gave me those three blueprints and said that they were his life’s work. At that time, 1 even thought that you drew just these three blueprints for your life? You’re too useless.”
“…” You have a lot of ideas.
Gu Yundong was especially good at creating an atmosphere of storytelling. Her voice was sometimes high and sometimes low. “After he handed the blueprint to me, he asked me to choose a location at the foot of a mountain after we settled down. According to the blueprint, we will build a green brick tiled house. Then, we will reserve a room for him there. We will offer him three incense sticks every morning and night.”
“At that time, I said that I had no money, no ability, and that I wasn’t even sure how many days 1 could live. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help him. 1 didn’t expect that old man to take out a hundred taels of silver and give it to me. He said that this was the money used to build a house and he would bless me to reach a safe place safely. However, I had to fulfill his request. Otherwise, I would be unlucky. If it was serious, it would kill me.”
“Wasn’t he a liar? Even a charlatan wouldn’t dare to make up such a story, right? If he was really so capable, why would he die of old age and illness? I didn’t believe that he’s so capable. However, on account of the hundred taels of silver, 1 still helped to hold his funeral after he died. As for the three blueprints, I felt that it was a burden to keep them, so 1 tore them up.”
“Then, a terrifying thing happened.” Gu Yundong swallowed hard as she spoke. She widened her eyes and looked terrified, causing the other two to hold their breaths.
Gu Yundong said, “After tearing the blueprints, I didn’t take them seriously. In the end, at night, when we took out the blanket from the basket and were about to rest, we realized that the three blueprints had appeared in front of me.”
“Hiss…” Liu Wei gasped. “Really?”
“Of course it’s true. I was scared to death at that time. It was as if I had seen a ghost. In a panic, I tore it apart again, but in the blink of an eye, they appeared intact again. Moreover, that night, 1 fell while walking. 1 choked on my food and water. 1 even encountered bandits who wanted to kill me. I almost lost my life. It was as if all the unfortunate things happened that day.”
When Gu Yundong mentioned this, she still looked like she had lingering fears. “At that time, I felt that what the old man said might be true. I didn’t dare to be disrespectful, so I kept the blueprint well. In the end, 1 really survived with my mother and younger siblings. So when 1 arrived at Yongfu Village, I immediately chose a land with a backing and built a house.”
“I didn’t expect that the blueprint would be taken away by Young Master Peng this morning. I panicked. Young Master Peng is the precious young master of our county’s Peng family. If something happened because of me, wouldn’t I be unable to absolve myself of the blame even if I died a thousand times? 1 rushed over. 1 thought that before the situation was too serious, 1 would quickly explain it to Young Master Peng.”
Peng Zhongfei and Liu Wei felt like they were listening to a heavenly book. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
However, people nowadays were still very respectful of ghosts and deities, especially when Gu Yundong said it in a terrifying manner, as if it really happened.
However, it was not as if she could say whatever she wanted.
Peng Zhongfei snorted. “Don’t tell me you’re making up a story. Who knows if it’s true?”
“That’s simple. If Young Master Peng doesn’t believe me, you can take out that blueprint and tear one to see if it will appear intact again.”
Peng Zhongfei frowned. He gritted his teeth and really took out the blueprint. Then, in front of Liu Wei and Gu Yundong, he tore it into pieces, the kind that could not even be pieced together.
Gu Yundong lowered his head and smiled..
