"What does it mean not to be born?" someone asked.

"They died due to various reasons. It is said that two of them were stillborn." Lao Meng sighed.

Everyone felt a little strange.

"Is there some kind of pollution in Shimen Village?" a tall, thin young man guessed.

"How is this possible?" Lao Meng directly rejected this possibility. "Then Shimen Village is at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and it is very closed. There are no factories or anything nearby. Where does the pollution come from?"

"Besides, it means I couldn't have children in the past five years, and then it became normal again."

Hearing what Lao Meng said, there was another discussion in the hall.

"When did that happen?" the tall, thin young man asked reluctantly.

"I was only a teenager at the time, it must have been decades ago." Lao Meng said.

"Has this kind of thing ever happened before?" I asked abruptly.

Suddenly everyone looked over at us.

Old Meng also looked at me and said, "I don't know much about this, but I remember that there have always been some strange legends in Shimen Village. Anyway, the old people in my family always warned us not to go to that village. "

"Could it be that this village is close to Qinglong Mountain and relatively closed, so there are some weird rumors? This is normal." Someone said.

For a time, everyone was talking about anything.

Cao Junwu listened for a while, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Whether it is Honghe Village or Shimen Village, there is definitely a problem. As a member of the Meicheng Feng Shui community, we cannot sit idly by and watch. reason."

"Well said, we have to take care of this matter!" Everyone agreed.

Cao Junwu said happily, "Okay, but it depends on your own wishes. If you want to join us, please raise your glass of wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed and raised their glasses.

Shao Zilong and I were the only two people left, still sitting there eating and drinking.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the two of us.

"Aren't we a bit conspicuous?" Shao Zilong whispered.

"It's because you're too conspicuous." I coughed and asked, "Why are you staring at us? Is something wrong?"

"You two, don't you want to participate?" asked Lao Meng.

"Participate, why don't you participate? I'm not here to eat for free." I raised my cup.

Shao Zilong, who was engrossed in eating, choked and raised his cup, "Of course I am neither!"

Seeing the two of us expressing our opinions, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became gentle again.

"Thank you for your strong support." Cao Junwu said with a smile, "Then let's eat and drink as much as we can. We will stay here tonight. We will set off to Shimen Village early tomorrow morning."

Everyone applauded.

The party lasted until nearly midnight before breaking up.

This Cao family's mansion is comparable to a huge manor, and there are naturally countless houses. Cao Junwu specially arranged a separate courtyard for our group of people to live.

"This rich man is really different." Shao Zilong marveled.

Not only him, but everyone in our group was also shocked by the luxury of the Cao family's mansion.

This mansion looks impressive from the outside, but once you get inside, you'll find that it's something else entirely!

Shao Zilong chose a room next to mine and said he wanted to be my neighbor.

I didn't care. After entering the house, I just took a casual look and prepared to go out.

"Brother, where are you going?" Shao Zilong saw him in the room and ran out to ask.

"Can't sleep, let's go take a walk." I said casually.

"Okay, I'll keep you company so you don't get bored." Shao Zilong said.

"No need."

"Why are you so polite? Let's go!" Shao Zilong closed the door and followed me out without saying a word.

I had no choice but to let him go, and the two of us walked out of the yard and wandered around the house aimlessly.

Although it was already late at night, the entire Cao family mansion was still brightly lit, and people could be encountered on the road from time to time, including Cao family servants and bodyguards.

"This Cao family is really a local emperor." Shao Zilong sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense, others will listen to you later." I reminded.

Shao Zilong smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just the two of us in the middle of the night. Who will listen?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Someone is watching me here."

"Why are you staring at me? Brother, are you thinking too much?" Shao Zilong said happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly appeared next to him.

"Let me go, why are you hiding here?" Shao Zilong was startled.

The person who came was wearing a bandage. It was Wei Dongting. He glared at Shao Zilong with a gloomy face, "Who is hiding here? I just came over there!"

"Really?" Shao Zilong looked suspicious.

Wei Dongting snorted and said, "You two are still up so late, why are you hanging around here?"

"Then why are you wandering around?" I asked him.

"I came out before going to bed to see if there was anything in the house that I hadn't taken care of." Wei Dongting said with a straight face.

I said, "So are we."

"What are you doing too?" Wei Dongting was annoyed.

I said, "Let's see if there's anything wrong with this house."

"Yes." Shao Zilong nodded.

Wei Dongting was so angry that his veins throbbed, "Go back quickly..."

Before I finished speaking, I interrupted, "Don't talk about anything else. Honestly, did someone ask you to keep an eye on me?"

Wei Dongting hesitated, "What are you talking about?"

Shao Zilong was shocked, "Good guy, are there really people watching us?"

"Are you suffering from persecution paranoia? Who has time to keep an eye on you?" Wei Dongting glared at him angrily.

I smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, just keep an eye on him, it won't be a big deal."

As a result, he accidentally slapped his wound, causing Wei Dongting to scream in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I quickly apologized, "You're seriously injured. Anyway, you have nothing to do. Why don't we talk about the Liu family? What happened at that time? I'm really curious. Come on, let’s talk.”

"Liu's family? Is that the one where many children's bones were dug up and burned down?" Shao Zilong also became more energetic after hearing this, "I heard that this matter is also related to the Cao family. I'm also very curious. Brother, sit down. Come down and talk to us!"

"Sick!" Wei Dongting cursed, turned around and left.

Looking at Wei Dongting's angrily walking away, Shao Zilong clicked his tongue and said, "This man is indeed a little sick."

I took out the South Sea Demon Pearl, turned around and threw it into a well nearby.

"Hey, this is a Feng Shui well. Brother, what did you throw into it just now?" Shao Zilong asked curiously.

"Stone."

"You're quite boring." Shao Zilong lay on the edge of the well, took a look, and threw a stone into it.

There was a plop.
