Chapter 160 One Update
Xi Qi's fainting caused quite a shock, Xi Jingming and his wife hurriedly followed his chest, while the second daughter-in-law Zeng Jia shouted to Xijingcheng in a panic.
The daughters-in-law didn't know what this bracelet meant to the Xi family, and they looked at Qu Zhong with more blame and anger.
"What kind of expert, I think it's a juggling and deceiving!"
Tu Hanxiu squinted her husband angrily, feeling absurd at the little luck left in her heart.
When Zhong Shuyi heard that Tu Hanxiu was disrespectful to Qu Zhong, he immediately knocked on the table to retort: "niece-in-law, don't talk nonsense, or let's see what happened to brother Xiqi first?"
Xiqi closed his eyes, his eyelids trembled, and he was clearly conscious is awake.
Xi Jingming was caught in the middle for some reason. After looking at his wife sternly, he first apologized to Qu Zhong with a wry smile: "Mr. Qu, I'm sorry, my wife doesn't know about my Xi family's past!"
Tu Hanxiu was stunned by her husband's words. Even though he was still reluctant in every possible way, he had no choice but to lower his head and pat Xickey's back as if he didn't dare to talk back.
The matter was caused by Qu Zhong, and he didn't want to sit on the sidelines. He stretched out his hand to support Xi Qi's shoulder and sighed, "Mr. Xi is fine, but he's just in a hurry!"
Xia Zhou also hurriedly supported the other arm with wink. When Qu Zhong took out a porcelain bottle the size of a bottle thumb from the backpack under his feet, he gently lifted Xickey's chin.
Qu Zhong brought the mouth of the bottle to the end of Xickey's nose and shook it lightly. The person opposite slowly exhaled and his eyelids gradually lifted.
Seeing that the old man woke up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Xi, don't worry."
Qu Zhong put away the bottle, and after waiting for the others to sit up straight, he explained helplessly: "This bead string has expired, and it will break sooner or later."
Xi Qi picked up the tea cup and nodded. He poured himself a big mouthful of tea, and he didn't even dare to look at the broken beads.
In fact, without Qu Zhong's explanation, he could also feel the weaker and weaker luster on the bracelet. Every time it was soaked in water, the beads dimmed a bit.
It's just that I suddenly saw the bracelet shatter, and I didn't accept it for a while.
"Don't say it, Mr. Qu, I...have a hunch!" Xi Qi waved his hand to stop Qu Zhong, and rubbed the pile of scum with a wry smile: "Mr. I can rely on this treasure to go on from generation to generation."
"The old man is transparent!" Qu Zhong praised with a smile.
"In the future, the Xi family will look at the children's own good fortune, I can't control that much anymore!" Xi Qi shook his head, found a clean cup, and put all the scum in it: "These are just thoughts and want to accompany me here. Let the old man go to the grave."
"Dad!"
"Dad!" Everyone in the
Xi family shouted in unison, and Xi Qi waved his hand to interrupt a few people, and his expression was a little firmer: "My old man can't be a supporter for you all your life. , is it possible that you want me to take care of you for the rest of your life?"
Everyone in the Xi family had different expressions, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.
At this time, Qu Zhong had time to look at these sons and daughters-in-law of the Xi family.
The four of them have white hair in their hair, and there are few wrinkles on their faces. Although they can't resist the erosion of the years, the skin has become dull, but there is still a trace of innocence in their eyes.
From this, it can be seen that what kind of role did Xi Qi play in the entire Xi family, it is no wonder that when a few people heard that the old man had plans to retire, all of them seemed like the sky was falling. Zhong Shuyi, Feng Hongchang and Xi Qi were about 20 years apart in age, but they were more similar to Xi Jingming, but they could immediately see the difference when they stood together with the Xi family. On one side is the composure that has been tempered by years of intrigue in the shopping mall, and on the other is the unworldly things that have grown up in the world of Xizhai. Although Qu Zhong didn't want to use this word to describe a few people who were over 50 years old, they still had the same temperament.
Xi Jingming's uncle Zhong shouted without any disobedience. I'm afraid from his heart he thought he was still a child who didn't grow up under his parents.
It's not uncommon for a son to be like this, the whole family is like this, Qu Zhong felt a little strange.
Zhong Shuyi's eyes turned around on the faces of the teacup and the Xi family, and he was confused as he listened to Xiqi's sigh, and finally he couldn't hold back and asked: "Brother Xi, why do I become more confused the more I listen to it? Now ..."
"It's... what immortal, the future of the Xi family?" Feng Hongchang moved forward a few inches, and stretched his neck to look at the scum in the teacup: "Why do you guys seem to be talking about books from heaven."
On the way Qu Zhong came, he only said that he was going to help Xickey's sick child to heal. As for the origin of Qu Zhong and the Xi family, he did not mention a word.
Xi Qi glanced at Qu Zhong and saw that he didn't stop him, so he cut out some unbelievable parts in his mind, and gave two friends another recollection of what happened back then.
Of course, he didn't say that the bracelet was given to him by Duan Sheli in a dream, but only said that the couple made a special trip to give it to him before the long trip.
For this reason, Zhong Shuyi and several others were also amazed by it, and after Qu Zhong said that his great-grandfather and great-grandmother disappeared after going out for treatment, all kinds of speculations arose in everyone's heart.
Qu Zhong saw that the topics everyone was talking about became more and more mysterious, especially Feng Hongchang, who even guessed that he was getting close to the truth. He hurriedly raised his hand and interjected: "Elder Xi!"
Only then did everyone turn to Qu Zhong.
"The bracelet shattered in my hand, I'm doomed to owe you a favor to the old man."
Qu Zhong's tone was slow, but with a completely unquestionable strength, his right middle finger lightly tapped on the table: " In addition, you saved the elders of my Duan family back then, so I owe you two favors."
Just as Xi Qi was about to wave his hand, Qu Zhong smiled and continued.
"I will help you solve the troubles of the Xi family, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the year. As for the other favor..."
In the eyes of everyone, Qu Zhong pondered for a while, and then lifted the backpack beside his feet.
"..."
The backpack was a very simple black backpack, and the squeaking sound of the zipper suddenly made everyone's hearts go to their throats.
Sitch only felt a burning sensation from his throat to his stomach, and all the senses in his body were condensed into his eyes.
Every movement of Qu Zhong was magnified and slowed down wirelessly, for fear that he would miss an important part after blinking his eyes.
There was some yellow paper stuffed in the schoolbag. Qu Zhong first took out the stack of yellow paper and put it on the table, then stretched out his hand and dug it under it for a long time.
Finally...
a purse embroidered with lotus flowers was caught by him. The dark green purse was exquisitely embroidered, and the golden lotus leaves reflected bright light in the sunlight.
Just looking at the good workmanship of this purse, Qu Zhong felt that the eyes of the crowd became even more enthusiastic.
The purse was opened, and a string of transparent bracelets was taken out. Qu Zhong handed the string to Xickey: "Then use this to pay it back!"
"This..."
Xickey took it, and a burst of ice hit his palm. After only holding it for a short while, he felt that his right hand lost consciousness, so he hurriedly changed his hand to hold it.
"This bracelet doesn't have a name, but it's a very good magic weapon!" Qu Zhong added.
Xickey shuddered suddenly, Qu Zhong saw that he was still holding on, he hurriedly put the bracelet on the table, and then pointed to a green one of the transparent beads and said, "If the bracelet turns green one day, it means it is the same as the bracelet. The fate of your Western family has been exhausted, then you can just find a place to bury it."
This bracelet is a magic weapon that Qu Zhong refined in the world of self-cultivation, and he has not had time to name it.
The main function of this bead string is to ward off evil spirits. The spiritual power contained in the bead string can also nourish the body of people within a certain range. It is more than enough to be a treasure of the house.
"Mr. Qu means that this bracelet can be used as a magic weapon for the house?" Xickey immediately understood what Qu Zhong meant.
"Yeah!" Qu Zhong nodded, thought about it, and added: "There is a chain on the bracelet, if there is a person with a bad mind in the younger generation of the Xi family, the bracelet will be invalid in an instant, Elder Xi..."
"I I understand what you mean!"
Xi Qi nodded solemnly, took the purse handed over by Qu Zhong and immediately looked at the sons and daughters-in-law standing beside him: "Come and touch."
"..."
Xi Jingming Everyone was stunned, but in his father's stern eyes, one of them reluctantly stretched out a finger to touch.
Qu Zhong: "..."
As soon as the two of them touched the bracelet, they both trembled, obviously also startled by the chill.
"..."
Qu Zhong raised his hand to cover his face, and tilted his head to the side, he couldn't bear to look any longer.
The meaning of Xi Qi couldn't be more obvious. This is to use the bracelet as a machine to measure several people. If the bracelet really responds to a certain person, Qu Zhong feels that he may become the object of resentment in that person's heart again.
"You kid is really hiding!" Xia Zhou laughed horribly.
He didn't care about the movements of the people in the Xi family, he just slammed his shoulder hard against Qu Zhong and complained in a low voice, "You didn't tell me if you had this ability. If you knew we wouldn't farm and show people how good Feng Shui is.
" Zhong was speechless again. "No, you go back and draw some amulets
for me, and I'll take them back to my grandfather." Xia Zhou remembered this again, and Lu Jun raised his hand carefully: "I want it too."
." The
three of them lowered their heads and muttered for a long time. The Xi family, including the two daughters-in-law, touched it, but the beads still didn't respond at all.
Xickey breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally climbed onto his face.
He carefully put the string in his purse, and after a brief pause, handed the bag to Xi Jingming: "Put it on the beam in the living room in a while."
Xi Jingming took the purse, and paused in exactly the same way as Xi Qi.
This time, he was mentally prepared, but he didn't feel the slightest chill when he started. He rubbed it for a while, and even felt a warm feeling rise.
The shock in his heart became bigger and bigger, and Xi Jingming looked at Qu Zhong with more and more respect.
"After paying off a favor, I should do another thing, take me to see Xiyu!"
The sky above the garden was already a little dark, and a few people were busy in the flower hall for a few hours, and it was time to do it. It's time for business.
It was only then that Xi Qi noticed the weather. Feeling ashamed, he hurriedly persuaded Qu Zhong to eat before going. There was no reason to let the guests help when they were hungry.
Unexpectedly, Qu Zhong just smiled and said, "You will have time to eat soon. Let's go and have a look first."
Xickey had no choice but to lead people to the second floor of the living room of the main room.
In order to facilitate the care of Xiyu's condition. Xickey moved him to the side of his bedroom, and just as Qu Zhong walked to the corner of the second floor, he heard shouting in the corridor.
And the voice was a little familiar.
"I want to eat, you let me go, you want to starve me to death..." A
series of loud shouts startled everyone else, only Qu Zhong looked around in the corridor as usual.
"Jing Ming, is Xiyu's condition getting serious again?"
Tu Hanxiu nervously held her husband's hand, and even his voice trembled.
As the group of people got closer, the noise from the house became louder, and there was even the sound of banging against the wall.
Xi Jingming didn't dare to answer, the two walked a few steps away from the door and didn't go any further.
