Chapter 1, Attachment
Uncle Fu raised his head, and a chilling light flickered in his eyes: "The task entrusted by the young master, even if I die, I must complete it"
The heavens may bring unforeseen storms, and fortunes can change for people in an instant. His parents, who inherited the family business, passed away in a car accident. Not wishing to spend his life merely managing the shop, he had no choice but to sell it off.
Mao Sanfan took a step back, and his expression also became serious.
Yu Linghe let out a bitter laugh and said, "Uncle Fu, Mao Sanfan must be outside, right"
The elderly man extended his aged, age-spotted arm and gently rubbed the young man's chest a few times, softly reassuring him: "Rest assured, the young lady will definitely return"
He straightened his chest and moved outward step by step. Although he still felt excruciating pain in his body, it was merely a matter of flesh wounds and did not involve any serious injury to his bones or muscles. His young body was fundamentally strong, and he was able to endure it.
This elderly man is an old servant of a friend of my sister. That friend entered the perilous trial alongside my sister and, before departing, asked Uncle Fu to come here to take care of a few matters.
Yes, he has a completely unfamiliar name here, Yu Linghe. Moreover, he has lived on this land for a full sixteen years
Just as Uncle Fu entered the city, Mao Sanfan arrived with people, demanding to forcibly purchase the more than ten acres of prime farmland from the family. Yu Linghe naturally refused, resulting in a severe beating, and he fainted on the spot
The old man's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly supported him, saying: "Young Master Yu, please be careful."
The young man forced a slight movement of his lips, his mouth tightly shut, fearing that if he opened it, a scream that would terrify him would escape.
With a grin, Yu Linghe said, "Mao Sanfan, your great kindness and virtue, I and *Tushu* have already noted down. When my elder sister returns, she will naturally seek justice from you"
He raised his head in astonishment and immediately saw thick fog rising from all directions, with occasional glimpses of sparks visible.
Uncle Fu tugged at the loose skin on his face and said, "Before the young master left, he instructed me to take good care of Young Master Yu." He raised his head and slowly continued, "If the young master and Miss Yu entered the swamp of death together, if they can come out, they will naturally come out together. If they cannot come out, then what does it matter if my life is lost here?"
However, he immediately felt the moans emanating from his body, accompanied by intense pain that nearly overwhelmed him.
Mao Sanfan angrily said: "Fu Bo, your young master is just like that woman from the Yu family, both are doomed to a short life. Since they have chosen to delve into the swamp of their own accord, they are certainly doomed and will never come out. Is it really worth it for you to work so hard for a dead person?"
Yu Linghe took a deep breath, exerted force with both elbows, and surprisingly sat up from the bed with great effort
However, all of this is in the past
The young man's eyes flickered, and with a "bang" in his mind, countless memories surged forth like a tide
A sharp sound suddenly rang out from outside the door
Mao Sanfan looked coldly at Uncle Fu and slowly said: "Uncle Fu, are you trying to stand up for him? Hmph, are you not afraid of getting into trouble because of Shen Sheng?"
Young Master, you have finally awakened; you truly frightened this old man to death
He has just taken over this body. Although he has memories and impressions of the past ten years, he should not possess such strong and intense emotions. However, for some reason, upon hearing the other person's laughter, he cannot help but feel indignant.
Inside and outside the gate, there was suddenly a profound silence
Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Young Master, you rest here for a while, I will go and see them off."
Oh dear
The price has now been agreed upon, and he is here to make the final arrangements
Within a dim and slightly damp small room, a faint sound of a gentle impact suddenly emerged
After a while, Mao Sanfan finally came to his senses, a trace of shame and anger flashing across his face, and said: "Hmph, what a brazen boast. Since your sister has entered the deadly swamp of Chongming and has been missing for half a year, how could she possibly survive? Relying on a dead person to back you up is truly laughable."
With a face full of anger, Yu Linghe himself did not understand why he felt such intense emotions
In his line of sight, an elderly man with white hair was looking at him with an anxious expression. It was only after he regained consciousness that the old man visibly let out a sigh of relief
Uncontrollable anger suddenly appeared on Uncle Fu's face, his hair bristling, and his hands slowly raised, resembling an enraged giant bear, ready to pounce at any moment
Uncle Fu is indeed dedicated and diligent, but it is also impossible for him to be by his side at all times
This is a stationery and miscellaneous goods shop that has been in operation for several decades, starting from his grandfather's generation. The numerous elementary school students in front of the shop constitute the main consumer group. Although the business cannot be described as booming, it is more than sufficient to sustain the household.
In the final moment, when he was firmly pressed under the eaves, only one thought occupied his mind
At this moment, gazing at the somewhat familiar yet strange surroundings, my heart inexplicably feels a sense of reluctance, akin to that found in books.
Yu Linghe stared in astonishment as Uncle Fu walked past him, his heart racing as if thousands of horses were galloping. Could it be that his luck was so extraordinary, that there was a hidden master of unparalleled skill beside him
Uncle Fu hesitated slightly behind him, but still let out a soft sigh and followed him out
Young Master, wake up, wake up...
With the disappearance of my sister, more malicious gazes have also been directed towards us
The young man was taken aback; although he had just awakened, he still felt a splitting headache. However, he could guarantee one hundred percent that he had never seen this old man before. Moreover, he referred to himself as "Young Master Yu". At his age, no one had ever addressed him in such a manner.
A sudden urgent call seemed to come from the infinitely distant horizon, his eyebrows twitched a few times, and he finally awakened slowly
Whether it is the mockingly smiling Mao Sanfan or the incredulous Fu Bo following Yu Linghe, both display an expression of disbelief
Within the surrounding courtyard, all the doors are tightly shut, yet occasionally, a few pairs of fearful eyes can be seen cautiously peering through the cracks of the doors
It is unclear what the reason is, but the soul of the young person has entered this unconscious body and has awakened at this moment
When did Young Master Yu develop such boldness? Could it be that after that day of being thoroughly beaten, he underwent a complete transformation?
Although he is unwilling to admit this fact from the bottom of his heart, almost everyone has already concluded that this talented woman has fallen in that perilous place
In his childhood, he played here and developed a deep affection for the items in the shop. He would happily fiddle with those games such as Dou Shou Qi, Flying Chess, books, Army Chess, Chess, Go, as well as football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and so on, spending entire days without feeling bored
Here is a world of gods, a miraculous realm chosen by the divine, where celestial power is pervasive.
Yu Linghe, have you woken up? It would be best if you have; hurry up and press your handprint. Your grandfather doesn't have time to waste with you.
... ...
He suddenly woke up to a commotion, though he did not know how long it had been
However, at this moment, a new soul has already taken residence within this body
With a loud roar, Yu Linghe, bearing the weight of his pain-ridden body, was about to charge forward
In a moment of daze, he seemed to see a small shadow playing here carefree.
Yu Linghe gazed intently at this person. If it were the previous Yu Linghe, who was of a frail disposition, he would have likely been curled up in bed by now, resembling a timid turtle.
He suddenly got up, just as he was about to escape, when the beam of the house came crashing down heavily.
He threw his head back and laughed heartily without any restraint
The young man was about to speak, but his gaze suddenly became fixed, staring intently at the old man, remaining silent.
Because he suddenly realized that the clothing worn by this elderly man was extremely peculiar, completely unlike any attire he was familiar with. If he had to describe it, he might have seen something similar in a historical drama.
How could I be so unfortunate
He has a sister who is exceptionally talented, and after their parents passed away, it was this sister who single-handedly raised him. However, now this sister has entered a perilous place to participate in trials, and there has been no news from her for a full six months
However, his wrist tightened slightly and was already grasped by Uncle Fu. Although Uncle Fu appeared to be frail and aged, his hands were as steady as Mount Tai. With just a gentle pull, he rendered Yu Linghe unable to move.
Perhaps sensing the pain in his eyes, the old man quickly reassured him, "Young Master Yu, you can rest assured; I will take care of everything." He indignantly replied, "Taking advantage of Miss Yu's absence to attempt to seize and plunder is truly outrageous"
Fu Bo, you are merely an ordinary layman; do you really wish to oppose the Mao family? You should think this through carefully
However, at that moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Mao Sanfan, who are you calling a short-lived ghost..."
To Ling He. The young man said lightly: How was the lesson from yesterday, is it still comfortable?
Not good, there is a fire
The large door slowly opened, and a tall young man, accompanied by four burly men, looked at Yu Linghe with a cold smile.
Accompanied by a voice that was half pain and half complaint, a young man in his twenties jumped down from the attic. He painfully rubbed his head, which had collided with the wooden frame, and helplessly surveyed his surroundings
She gently shook her head and said softly to Fu Bo, "I always need to go out and take a look"
Gently patting his arm, Uncle Fu smiled and said, "Young Master Yu, this is your home. Since someone has come to disturb the peace, I shall help you drive them away.
It is said that once one enters that perilous area and goes missing for a month, it is essentially a certainty of death
The four strong men beside him almost simultaneously stepped forward in unison, surrounding him completely. Although they were numerous and each one was shrewd and capable, when faced with Uncle Fu, who appeared to be a frail old man, they were as if confronted with a formidable enemy
His voice grew fainter, yet inexplicably, a trace of a terrifying aura gradually spread from him
