Chapter 124 Blood Mist
Chapter 124 Blood Mist
Now that things have come to this, we can only...think positively about everything.
In any case, the green hair has reached the number 51.
Tang Shu went to find Tang Yuechi and discovered that he had put on his clothes and shoes and was getting ready to go out. Unlike his usual business attire, he was wearing a full set of outdoor mountaineering gear late at night.
"Brother, are you going out so late?" she asked curiously.
"Well, we need to go to the mountain at the back to worship our ancestors and have a ceremony to offer sacrifices."
The man touched her long hair gently, "Susu, do you want to go with us?"
Tang Shu understood. It seemed that Tang Yuechi had come to see her in the evening just for this matter.
But at this time, neither of them mentioned the knock on the door just now.
"Ancestor worship?"
"Well, the Tang family's ancestral home is there."
"But why go there so late at night?"
Tang Yuechi shook his head. "I'm not sure either. My uncle told me that this is a rule passed down from our ancestors. He also went there with his father when he was a child. They go at night, and the offering ceremony starts at six in the morning of the next day. It has been like this for years."
There is no such rule.
Besides, why would people worship their ancestors during any festival? It’s neither Qingming Festival nor Double Ninth Festival now.
and many more.
Tang Shu suddenly thought of something and asked the man,
"Brother, what day is today?"
"November 4."
"In other words, for hundreds of years, the Tang family has been starting the offering ceremony at 4 a.m. on April 30th every year?"
"Yes, what's wrong, Susu?"
The calmness on Tang Shu's face completely disappeared, replaced by doubt and speculation.
Because April 4th is her birthday.
It’s not Tang Shu’s original birthday, but the birthday of her original body, the holly tree.
Every spring, the annual rings begin to grow rapidly, and when the first ray of sunlight shines down in the early morning of April 4, they are completely closed into a circle.
So even though Tang Shu had lived in a daze for hundreds of years, she remembered this day particularly clearly.
As everyone knows, in her original world, no living creature is allowed to become a spirit.
After overcoming the tribulation by chance, Tang Shu was originally going to be wiped out, but was summoned by the original body of this world through a wish.
Now it seems, is this...really a coincidence?
Or... is it related to the Tang family's strange offering ceremony that has been going on for hundreds of years?
Tang Shu decided to go and take a look.

She returned to the room, quickly changed into warm sportswear, and together with Tang Yuechi, led a large group of people into the mountains.
The road leading to the mountain is easier to walk on than expected, and it is even paved with bluestone slabs.
"Brother, I heard that the mountains behind us have not been developed. I thought they were all cliffs."
Tang Yuechi chuckled and said, "The Tang family has spent so many years, and this road has already been mined and unobstructed. It's just that there are people guarding it at ordinary times to prevent outsiders from coming in."
Yes, the Tang family is so rich that they can deal with it even if it is a real cliff with hundreds of years of effort.
The mountains were eerily quiet in the middle of the night, not even a bird could be heard.
Tang Shu became more and more silent as she walked. The closer she got to the mountain in front of her, the more inexplicably excited she felt.
Expectation, longing, sadness, inexplicable...
Finally, her nose felt sore and she started crying for no apparent reason.
"What's wrong, Susu? Are you tired?"
Tang Yuechi stopped the team and asked her with concern.
Tang Shu shook her head. Although her condition was very bad at the moment, she didn't want to delay her trip.
I want to go in quickly.
The man squatted down in front of her and said, "Come, I'll carry you."
Although the road under my feet is not rugged, it is still a mountain climb after all, and it is very tiring to walk by myself.
Tang Shu immediately pulled him up.
"No need, brother. I can walk by myself. There are still three or four hours to go. I will be exhausted soon!"
"Silly Susu, do you look down on your brother so much?"
Tang Yuechi squatted down again, turned around and threatened with a smile, "Otherwise, Susu wants brother to hold her?"
Climbing a mountain with your arms around your chest is too shameful.
Tang Shu obeyed obediently and lay on the man's back.

Creatures in time move forward as usual, but this night is destined to be extraordinary.
Fate, this playful and tormenting creature, lets us let go of ourselves even more in this painful world of youth.
It controls the lives and deaths of everyone, observes from the dark, turns everyone into a chess piece, and then places it in the most inopportune place.
Deep in the Xiangshan Mountains, the Tang family and their professional team were moving forward.
In the distant city A, a layer of blood mist gradually spread in the turbulent night wind.
*
A City You'an Hospital, top-floor intensive care unit.
Mrs. Gu was lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by sophisticated medical equipment on both sides.
A week ago, she was stabbed by her husband's illegitimate daughter at a dinner party in her mansion.
When he was brought to us, his heart had almost stopped beating.
Fortunately, he was rescued in the end, but his internal organs were severely damaged and he has been unable to move since then.
Mrs. Gu's ward was attended by professional nurses 24 hours a day, but at this moment, all of them were sent away, and only a woman was sitting by the bed.
A woman in her forties, her face looks like she is in her twenties, incredibly beautiful.
Only the wrinkles on the neck that are inadvertently revealed will accidentally reveal your age.
She was wearing an exquisite lace dress, with her black hair draped over her back, and her figure was as graceful as a girl.
The woman spoke softly,
"Sister-in-law looks much better."
Mrs. Gu on the hospital bed opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of fear.
"Gu...Gu Weixi! You!"
The woman beside the bed was the most beautiful woman in City A at that time, the younger sister of the head of the Gu family, Gu Weixi.
A person who died of illness more than ten years ago.
*
"Sister-in-law, you want to ask why I didn't die, right?"
Gu Weixi interrupted Mrs. Gu with a smile and answered softly,
"How could my brother bear to let me die? I have lived well all these years~ I have been waiting for this day~"
Mrs. Gu stared at her, her face already pale.
She raised her hand with difficulty and tried to press the call button beside the bed.
Seeing that their fingers were about to touch, Gu Weixi chuckled twice, leaned over gently, and flexed her arm downwards.
It was dislocated and hanging by the bed.
Mrs. Gu cried out to heaven but no one answered. She gritted her teeth and spoke again with difficulty.
"What on earth do you want to..."
"Hahahaha, you're asking me what I want to do, right?"
Gu Weixi laughed so hard that she fell backwards, looking very coquettish.
"Of course I came back to get what belongs to me~ But my sister-in-law can't see it~"
As he spoke, he took out an injection from his bag and injected it into the infusion bottle in front of Mrs. Gu.
She gracefully sat back on the sofa beside the bed and leisurely watched the liquid bottle slowly become empty.
I watched as Mrs. Gu’s eyes slowly dimmed and she stopped breathing.
He didn't leave until all the instruments in the ward were reset to zero.
...

Gu Chiqi knew nothing about all this and was studying overtime in the Gu Group's headquarters building.
Ever since he decided to go home and inherit the family business, so that he could marry his beloved Shushu in the future and let her live a proud life, Gu Chiqi has been very motivated.
It was already past midnight, but he was still in the president's office, sitting in front of his computer and familiarizing himself with internal information.
Although his body was tired at this time, his eyes were bright and full of energy and hope for the future.
The innocent and simple Master Gu has been well taken care of by the decisive Mrs. Gu since he was a child.
He doesn't need to know about those intrigues, nor does he need to be busy with scheming. He just needs to live happily.
As the only heir of the Gu family, Gu Chiqi was born with everything.
He knew his mother didn't like Shushu, but it didn't matter, he would try his best.
In the future, let the two women stay far apart and never meet each other in their lives.
He doesn't care about those etiquettes. He is filial to his mother and loves his wife.
Up to this moment, Gu Chiqi was happy.
But twenty minutes later, he received bad news from the hospital.
...
Stopped breathing? No vital signs?
Impossible! He had just visited his mother in the hospital this morning, and she had clearly gotten much better!
Gu Chiqi rushed out of the office building in a daze, drove the car at the fastest speed, and wished he could fly to You'an Hospital immediately.
There were few vehicles on the riverside street in the early morning, and the heavy engine sound of a blue sports car broke the tranquility of half the city.
But no one could have imagined that a huge truck would suddenly appear at the intersection ahead.
During a time period that is not allowed, the large truck suddenly ran a red light and knocked the blue sports car that was passing normally away.
The world has turned into a shoddy disaster movie, using destruction to gain fear.
The airbag popped out suddenly, and Gu Chiqi lost consciousness in the blood.
"Mother....."
The last memory is the tears flowing into the cochlea.
...
Don't die, don't leave me.
