In Changsha County, Tan, the small courtyard of Lu Mansion has long been dilapidated.
Ever since the "Evil Ghost Massacre" incident, only Lu Jun and Lu Yi, father and son, were left in the originally huge Lu Mansion, relying on each other for survival.
However, what happened back then was really too big.
It can be said that almost no one in the entire Changsha County knows or knows about it, so the people can say that they avoid this father and son.
Especially for Lu Yi, many neighbors rumored that he was a child crawling out of the belly of a dead person, and that he was a coffin born to bring disaster and bad luck.
To be honest, thanks to the powerful influence of Li Yanran, a distant relative, the father and son could continue to live in the small courtyard of the Lu Mansion.
Otherwise, according to the practice of this era, this unlucky father and son would have been expelled from Changsha County by the people and died in the wilderness.
Even so, Lu Yi has also been accustomed to seeing the dangers of people's hearts since he was a child, and experienced a miserable childhood that normal children would never experience.
The only good thing is that even in this situation, Li Yanran will still ignore all kinds of rumors and come to Lu Mansion to help the father and son from time to time.
This led to the fact that although Lu Yi showed an extremely cold personality to the outside world, he did not really go astray in the end.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, the child Lu Yi did not become a vicious criminal, thanks to the care of Li Yanran, a distant relative who was not his mother, but was better than his mother.
To be honest, if it weren't for the close blood relationship between Lu Jun and Li Yanran, and the cruelty of Li Yanran's methods, the neighbors would have been talking about it.
After all, one is a widower who has lost his wife for many years, and the other is an old girl who has not been married for a long time. No one would believe that there is nothing fishy between them.
However, only the real parties will know.
The reason why Lu Yi did not go astray was entirely because his mother had returned long ago.
"mother?"
As usual, when Lu Yi entered the small courtyard with a bundle of wood and sweat on his face, the first thing he saw was Hu Rui'er not far away.
The only difference from the past is that Hu Rui'er today did not greet her son with a smile, but sat on a chair nearby and fell into some deep thought.
As for the only adult man in the Lu family?
Lu Jun quietly hissed at Lu Yi, signaling him not to disturb Hu Rui'er, who was deep in thought.
"Dad? Mom is in a fugue again?"
Seeing this, Lu Yi immediately slowed down, walked tiptoe to Lu Jun and Hu Ruier, and then asked in a low voice.
It was only then that Hu Ruier revealed her true state.
The Hu Rui'er who is currently in the Lu Mansion is not a living person, but is in a state of nothingness that is close to a soul.
Or to be more precise, this is a spirit that Hu Rui'er deliberately stayed with her husband and children.
On weekdays, although this spirit cannot touch reality, it can chat with its husband and children to relieve boredom, witness their growth, and participate in their lives.
In a sense, this is a kind of "welfare" that Pei Hui gives to her incarnation by default.
Since the "Evil Ghost Tufu" incident that year, Hu Ruier has become the incarnation of Pei Hui, and she is also a special incarnation with an independent self.
When Pei Hui was alive, she never restricted Hu Rui'er from visiting her husband and children.
Even considering Hu Rui'er's own tendencies, Pei Hui almost gave Hu Rui'er full authority to handle the affairs in Tanzhou.
Even when Pei Wende gathered the victims in Ningxiang County, it was Hu Rui'er who mobilized resources as Pei Hui and handled all related matters for him behind the scenes.
"Actually, you don't have to be so quiet, I can hear you."
Just as Lu Jun and Lu Yi's father and son were talking quietly, Hu Ruier suddenly opened her eyes, smiled and stretched out her hand to rub Lu Yi's head.
Hu Rui'er, who was originally just a spirit, now seemed to have a physical body, directly twisting Lu Yi's messy hairstyle into a relatively neat state.
This is not because this soul can really touch reality, but because of Lu Yi's special ability as a "coffin man".
Born to communicate with the world of yin and yang, he can see all kinds of evil ghosts and evil spirits that ordinary people cannot see right after he is born...
For Lu Yi, ghosts are no different from ordinary creatures. He can see them and touch them.
"Mom, is something going to happen recently?"
Lu Yi, who was far more sensitive than a normal child, narrowed his eyes as if enjoying it.
Although his mother is different from ordinary people, this does not prevent Lu Yi from enjoying the deep maternal love.
"This kid is still as sharp as ever!"
She did not deny Lu Yi's statement. Hu Rui'er never raised her children as ordinary people from the beginning.
Normal children should know what they should learn, but Hu Ruier did not let it go.
Normal children shouldn't know or learn things, Hu Ruier also tried her best.
"Rui'er, is this dangerous?"
Lu Jun knows the elegant meaning by hearing the sound of strings. He also knows the specialness of his own children and has no doubts about his statement.
Because when Hu Rui'er first became the incarnation of Pei Hui, Lu Jun relied on Lu Yi's keen intuition to escape several malicious man-made disasters.
"Is it dangerous?"
Sighing softly, Hu Ruier looked at her husband and children, but a ray of determination flashed in her eyes unconsciously.
"Is there anything in this world that is not dangerous?"
Keenly aware that Hu Rui'er was different from before, Lu Jun's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Do we need to go out and hide?"
Ever since Hu Ruier's soul returned, Lu Jun knew that something must have happened to his wife.
These things are dangerous to a certain extent, but he is a helpless person, so Lu Jun has long been prepared to leave his hometown.
You and your son are your wife's "weaknesses", and sooner or later someone will discover and take advantage of this.
No one knows this better than Lu Jun, and he has already been prepared for it.
"It's not that far yet..."
After looking around the small courtyard, which had regained its atmosphere of life, Hu Rui'er just changed her tone and asked in a low voice.
"Husband, if there is a chance for me to do it again, do you think I should seize this opportunity?"
Lowering his head calmly, Hu Ruier never looked at either father and son when he asked this question.
Lu Jun, who had been with his wife for so many years, naturally saw Hu Ruier's little move - it was a sign of her guilty conscience.
"Do it again?"
Staring at the fox core that is so close yet seems so far away...
Lu Jun couldn't help but stirred up huge waves in his heart, and began to recall the beautiful memories of the couple.
"It would be nice if I could do it again."
