The Big Shot Tears Apart Her Villainess Script After Transmigrating - Chapter 367
Chapter 367: Uncle Xuan He, Do You Know How To Dig Ditches?
When Tang Li left, Qi Yihan was called to Peace Street by Butler Wang.
After Qi Yihan got out of the car, he walked into the courtyard alone with an umbrella.
Butler Wang was already waiting for him under the eaves. When Qi Yihan approached, he greeted him, “Fourth Master, welcome.”
Qi Yihan nodded.
Butler Wang said, “Old Master is waiting for you in the side hall. He wanted you to see him upon arriving.”
Then, he took the umbrella from Qi Yihan and placed it beside him.
Qi Yihan walked in.
At this moment, the old man was lying on an armchair and listening to an opera.
Qi Yihan walked up to him and called, “Father.”
The old man opened his eyes. “Hey.”
…
He pointed at the seat beside him. “Sit down. We haven’t chatted for a long time. During this period of time, your three brothers have been coming over to visit me from time to time. You’re so busy that you don’t even have time to visit me.”
A trace of guilt flashed across Qi Yihan’s face. After sitting down, he placed his hands on his lap and said, “I’m sorry. I’ll take more time off to visit Father in the future.”
“I’m not asking you to come to visit me often. You know why your brothers come to visit me so frequently. Now, everyone in the circle is talking about the Xuanyuan Tomb. There are already several large families secretly teaming up. You…”
“Father.” Qi Yihan interrupted him with a frown and said seriously, “It is just a legend. Besides, with the Qi family’s current wealth, there’s no need to take such a risk.”
The old man frowned as well. “Do you think these families are looking for the Xuanyuan Tomb for wealth? What everyone wants is the elixir and immortal cultivation manuals inside.”
“These two things don’t exist at all,” Qi Yihan said. “Compared to looking for such non-existent things, I might as well get Li to make some medicine that can increase immunity.”
The old man looked at Qi Yihan and saw that he really didn’t want to have anything to do with the Xuanyuan Tomb. After a while, he sighed and said, “The older you get, the more you feel that there are still many things you haven’t done, and the more unwilling you are to die… It’s not wrong for everyone to want to live forever. Even if they know that this kind of thing might just be a legend, they still want to look for it.”
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and looked at the old man, clenching his fists.
At this moment, the old man changed the topic and started talking about Qi Hao’s marriage. “This is the first time Li organized such a big wedding. If there’s anything she doesn’t understand, teach her. She’s the Madam of the Qi family. There will be many more of these things in the future. She needs to learn.”
“I know.”
…
The father and son chatted for more than half an hour. When the old man was tired, Qi Yihan walked out.
He and Butler Wang stood by the door and looked at the pouring rain. Qi Yihan asked Butler Wang, “Did anyone mention the Xuanyuan Tomb to Father?”
Butler Wang told him about it.
Qi Yihan frowned. “If these people mention it again, tell me.”
“Yes, Fourth Master.”
Qi Yihan walked into the rain with an umbrella.
Butler Wang watched him walk out of the courtyard and got into the car before turning to walk to the side hall.
The old man, who had his eyes closed, asked, “Has he left?”
“Yes, Master.” Butler Wang deliberated for a moment and said, “Master, it’s not wrong for Fourth Master to not approve of the Xuanyuan Tomb. This tomb is too dangerous, and those legends might not be true.”
The old man opened his eyes, his gaze sharp. He tapped his right hand on the chair and said, “You might not find those things in the tomb, but you might find them.”
Hearing that, Butler Wang did not dare to say anything else.
At this moment, the old man gestured to him. “Go and get First Master and his illegitimate child to see me.”
Butler Wang’s heart skipped a beat. Two seconds later, he nodded and went to call First Master.
…
In Long County.
After the group of people walked into the farmhouse, they found that other than the host and the hostess, there was no one else inside.
The host and the hostess left after serving them tea.
Everyone sat in the living room and started discussing what to do next.
Xuan He said, “We can’t move the tomb here. There must be something holding us back. Let’s go inspect the tomb later.”
The others agreed and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li nodded as well. “It’s up to you.”
However, there were several tombs in the vicinity, so they decided to split up into groups.
When the masters went on a mission, they would definitely bring the essential items, such as the compass.
However, Tang Li was empty-handed.
No one asked. After all, everyone knew what she was capable of.
However, Xuan He was still very curious about her ability. He wanted to know how powerful she was, so he suggested, “I’ll go with Master Tang.”
The other five were regretful that they didn’t speak earlier.
Tang Li and Xuan He went to the cemetery in the west.
The two of them walked under the rain with a black umbrella. Xuan He had a bag slung over his shoulder, and it was obvious that it was filled with mystic items. As he walked, he said to Tang Li, “This has actually happened before. At that time, we couldn’t move the tomb because we offended the Earth God who protected the cemetery there.”
Tang Li listened casually. Not long after the two of them walked, they saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat by a field.
Tang Li stopped and looked at the old man.
Xuan He stopped as well and asked, “Master Tang, is there anything wrong with that old man?”
“No,” Tang Li said. “You can just call me Miss Tang.”
With that, she walked towards the old man.
The field here was covered in mud. Coupled with the fact that it was the season for rice to be harvested, the one-meter tall rice seedlings were blocking the field. When Tang Li walked over, her pants were immediately wet and dirty.
Tang Li walked up to the old man who was digging the fields and called him, “Grandpa.”
The old man was probably hard of hearing and did not hear her, so Tang Li called out again.
Only then did the old man look up.
When he saw Tang Li standing there, his eyes widened and he said, “Are you a fairy?”
Tang Li smiled at him and said, “Grandpa, it’s not safe for you to be outside in such a heavy rain. Hurry up and go back.”
The old man waved at her and said, “The rain is too heavy. I have to dig two ditches to let out the water. Otherwise, the field will be washed away.”
Tang Li, “Then let us help you.”
“No, no, no, don’t dirty your clothes.”
Tang Li was still smiling. She turned around and asked the confused Xuan He, “Uncle Xuan He, do you know how to dig ditches?”
Xuan He was confused.
