“What about the person who sent the box?”

“It’s a courier, and the sender isn’t filled in.”

Zhang SanLian no longer asked but took over the box and looked at it. He said, “It should be the spirit bead. This bead is traditionally a treasure of the Wushan Goddess clan, because they are all women. This bead is the most condensing spirit for them to enhance sorcery. Somehow it became a soul-training and corpse-raising thing. If this thing fall into the hands of evil ways, the world won’t be smooth.”  At this point, Zhang SanLian looked at Zhang Qiu. “The bead itself has the power to condense the spirit and solidify the soul. Righ now you’ve more Yin in your stomach. Now it will be a great gain to it, and it will be hard to get rid later.”

Zhang Qiu was caught in a dilemma. No use. Zhang Qiu waited for the child in the stomach grew up day by day, it needed to absorb the Yin, but Zhang Qiu could not satisfied itself, the child would automatically refined Zhang Qiu’s Yang Qi into Yin. Zhang Qiu might sleep at any time and never wake up. It was a perfect big nourishment pill for the child, it was hard to get around and was hard to get rid of the idea later.

“Dad, now is the important. The future matter should be said later.” Zhang ZuoJiu said.

Zhang SanLian sighed, “Whichever. This bead is stained with contaminated qi. I’ll remove it first and give it to Xiao Qiu.”

After Zhang SanLian had purified the spirit bead, it was wrapped in a small package and hung around Zhang Qiu’s neck. Just after wearing it, his spirit was immediately raised. During the day, he did not become sleepy and his appetite was big that whatever he ate was delicious.  Zhang LiuDuan was watching the pig-like son all the way.

“Dad, don’t think about it.” Zhang Qiu was in a good mood and would joke and laughing, especially asking for a spanking. “You’ll have a grandson so you should retire early to take care of the children at home.”

Zhang LiuDuan’s forehead had blue vein popped and his head hurt again. How could he have such a silly son?

Zhang Qiu did not think like that, but what else could he thinks? In his stomach, the thing was like an ancestor, he could not fight but only raise it up. Zhang Qiu saw his Dad’s appearance of having a headache, and thought that he should not be discouraged. So, to relieve him, he said, “You’ve got to keep your head from getting angry. You and Big Uncle are here, it’ll be born as a scourge to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven.”

He buried his head in the pig’s hoof and ate a mouthful of greasy food. He smiled and said, “But my old Zhang gene is so good that maybe it will be a super genius!”

Zhang LiuDuan didn’t want to look at his silly son at all, or else he would be angry to the point of being hospitalized. Thus, he went out to play chess with his brother.

Zhang ZuoJiu, who had been listening, had been petrified and could not recall for a long time how his younger cousin brother’s brain circuit was structured. Finally, he patted Zhang Qiu’s head with delight. “Do you want more?”

“Big MaoGe has more?! Yes!!” Zhang Qiu had sparkling eyes.

Zhang Qiu and Zhang YiShui had three years old generation gap. Zhang ZuoJiu converted the two people’s age, thinking that both of them had different way of thinking just as wide as the Great Rift Valley.

“If YuShui is as big eater as you are, it will be good,” Zhang ZuoJiu sighed and gave him the pig’s hoof.

Zhang YuShui woke up looking like he was not much different from before. He was still cool, but even Zhang Qiu could feel something was wrong, not to mention Zhang ZuoJiu and Big Uncle. Everything down at Pixian Hui Wang’s tomb was like a fantasy. If someone talked about the myth of life before and present nonsense, surely they would be taken to a mental hospital?

And the main chamber was an empty coffin—

Oh, no!

Zhang Qiu pulled the red string out of his neck and a small bag of brocade dangled under it. He felt the smooth bead in it through the bag. Big Uncle said that when it was used for soul cultivation and corpse cultivation, it should be best to put it into the dead. When it was taken out, the whole bead was full of shadowy spirit, it was impossible to produce this effect for thousands of years.

The bead from the bag was filled with a flowing black mist. The bead kept the dead, the dead kept the bead, complementing each other.

Zhang Qiu suddenly thought of the moment he opened the coffin, he saw a hand out of the coffin. He thought it was his imagination, now looking at the bead in his hand, for a while a blood-curling cold broke out from within him.

There was a big Zongzi in the tomb, and it ran under their noses. They didn’t even know what that Zongzi looked like.

Zhang Qiu felt morose when he first thought about it. After all, one of them Zongzi, had secretly stared at them in the dark. Zhang Qiu wondered why the zongzi did not appeared. Suddenly he thought of his second brother’s bloody mouth. He thought it was LaoSi or Jin LaoDa, and now he seemed to be thinking something wrong. Now he thought  it was very likely that it was Pixian Hui Wang…

–

After living in the town for two days, Zhang LiuDuan took Zhang Qiu to go home.

“Big Brother, I will be back with my wife and Xiao Qiu after a while, you take care.”

“Let’s stayed longer next time.” Zhang SanLian saw Zhang Qiu talking to his two sons and said to his younger brother, “The situation of Xiao Qiu is not unsolved. I will pay attention to it here. You don’t be impulsive, think about your age, I really thought it was the same as when you were young.”

This time, he was given a stick by LaoSan’s men, so Zhang SanLian nagged a few words. Zhang LiuDuan assured him that he was really old enough to fall into the hands of such a hairy boy.

Zhang Qiu followed his Dad on the train back to Yuncheng.

Zhang Qiu held his head up and looked at the side of the aisle, facing several joking young people, without the familiar eyes…

“Which girl do you fancy?” Zhang LiuDuan went over and stared across the aisle.

Zhang Qiu turned his head, a look of cold shoulder on his face, he rushed to the front and said, “Dad, you’re looking at a beautiful young girl. I’m going back to tell my mother!”

“You smelly boy!” Zhang LiuDuan was going to be killed by this kid. After a while he said seriously, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of your mother. I don’t see a girl as good-looking as your mother.”

Zhang Qiu rubbed his arms. “The goose bumps are falling off the ground. You go back and said it to my mom.”

When the father and son thought of going back to face Mama Zhang, they suddenly shuddered, and stopped talking to each other. This time they didn’t give prior notice, it was not so simple to go back.

–

At the doorstep of the house, the two father and son were still considering who to advance first. When the situation where the benevolence father and the filial son modestly declined was going on, the threshold opened.

Zhang Qiu saw someone coming at the door. He rubbed his eyes and asked his Dad, “Dad, are we going to the wrong house?”

Zhang Qiu: !!!!

“My son is so silly. There’s nothing wrong with people. Don’t you cold shouldering him.”

Li Shu raised his lips and laughed, “then I’m disturbing.”

“Not disturbing, not disturbing.”

Zhang Qiu had forgotten to refute his mother’s to claim that he’s okay, no problem of cold shouldering him. His mind was all over about Li Shu sleeping with him all night. Perhaps, he did not believe if he’d been straight. Putting it aside now, it was a bit unreasonable, especially there was Li Shu, a beauty male god was for him to slobber all day.

The fuck, afraid that he was not bent enough,  think of a way to help him.

–

In the evening, Zhang LiDuan asked his wife to accompany him to the plaza to dance. There were only Zhang Qiu and Li Shu left. As soon as his parents left home, it was quiet.

Zhang Qiu was taking pajamas for Li Shu. “How did you know my mother? Being nice to you and letting you in.” Although his mother was a bit warmer, did not mean she was not unguarded.

“Someone robbed auntie. I saved her.” Li Shu’s answer was simple.

Zhang Qiu couldn’t believe it. “It’s like th –” looked back and wondered where to put his eyes. “Why did you take off your clothes!”

“Bath.”

Zhang Qiu tucked his clothes into Li Shu’s arms, his cheeks burnt, and pretended to be a very straight man. “Come in, you take the shower first, and I’ll go after you’ve finished.”

“Why not together?”

“No–no need.” Zhang Qiu’s face was almost steamed, he stammered, and his eyes involuntarily shifted to Li Shu’s body. Unexpectedly, Li Shu looked thin, stripped off his clothes was a layer of muscles, not exaggerated but especially strong. Zhang Qiu thought of when he bumped into Li Shu’s arms in the tomb, it was hard.

Very hard!!!

Zhang Qiu was thinking about the indescribable place. Li Shu looked interestingly at Zhang Qiu’s red face and asked, “Why are you looking so red?”

“Very hard!” Zhang Qiu’s reflex condition said that, he wanted to fan himself. He had no teacher to teach him how to fuck a chicken without learning by oneself[1]. He was hopeless, but Li Shu could be disgusted. After all, he was teased by a man.

Li Shu raised his eyebrows and made light movements, but to Zhang Qiu it seemed particularly sexy. God, he couldn’t, he wanted to slobber.

“I’m a little hungry. I’ll go and find something to eat. You wash quickly. Don’t freeze.”

Then he rushed out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen to dry up a cup of cold water without quenching his thirst. At the thought of Li Shu’s face, Zhang Qiu felt dry again.

In the bedroom, Li Shu held a pajamas full of Zhang Qiu’s scent, and his pupils suddenly turned crimson when he thought of the way Zhang Qiu fled from the wild.

“Those who are pregnant are really very sexually active.”
