C26 Family Heirlooms

"I was wondering why you wouldn't sell the old house, but it turns out that you are thinking of the old man's family heirloom, and I'll tell you, I won't sell this half of the house to you unless you hand it over!"

"Gao Zhenhong, don't go too far!"

"Look, look, I got you right. That must be a priceless treasure. Otherwise, why are you so nervous?"

"You, you bastard!"

...

The two of them were getting more and more aggressive. Uncle Gao was so angry that he was about to rush up and make a move. Fortunately, he was stopped by his friends and family.

On the other side, the man in the leather jacket saw that the two brothers were arguing and lost his patience. "You yellow-skinned loach!"

"No, Brother Long, we're selling, of course we are!" the second-year- old quickly explained to him.

Uncle Gao angrily waved his hand and shouted at the leather jacketed man: "Not selling!"

The two of them had completely different attitudes, which made the man in the leather jacket lose interest. He waved his sleeves and scolded them as "lunatics."

Su Qian saw them cursing as they walked out of the courtyard. Inside the house, the second uncle and Uncle Gao were still arguing. No matter how bad the words were, they could come out of the second uncle's mouth. Fortunately, there were other elders present, so Uncle Gao still cared about the situation.

All I can say is that every family has its difficulties.

She sat quietly on the stone steps under the old locust tree, thinking that it had only been a week since the death of Old Master Gao, and now her second son was making a fuss about splitting the inheritance and selling the ancestral house.

"Gao Zhenhui, you have guts! Just you wait!"

In just a few minutes, the furious second-year uncle was driven out. Uncle Gao had a broom in his hand and threatened to beat the crap out of him if he didn't get the hell out of here.

The second-year uncle was a veteran gambler. If he didn't get the money he wanted, even if he was kicked out today, he would find a way to come back.

It was like the coming of a storm.

"What do you mean by rogue? Have you finally seen it today?"

A mocking voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Su Qian turned around and looked at Li Zezhe. Li Zezhe adjusted his glasses and smiled helplessly.

"Is the relationship between Uncle Gao and the second-year student always so tense?" Su Qian asked in confusion. Judging from the intensity of the quarrel just now, the two of them didn't seem like brothers, but more like enemies.

Li Zezhe shrugged his shoulders, "Let me tell you this. Before, when they came to ask for money every month, the television station did not dare to act in such a touching brotherhood."

Su Qian blinked her eyes. This comparison was really amazing.

"Uncle Gao is my second-year student's younger brother. Why can't the two of them work together?" Su was surprised. It was rare to see such a difference in the standard of living between relatives in the Clan, and it sounded as if Uncle Gao was willing to subsidize his brother's family every month.

When Li Zezhe heard this, he looked apprehensively at the courtyard behind him. After he was sure that no one could hear him, he went up to Su Qian and whispered, "To tell you the truth, until the moment of Gao Ming's grandmother's death, she did not know that Master Gao and Uncle Gao were actually Demon Hunters!"

She looked at him in disbelief. They were of the same family, and had lived together for decades. How could they not know that her father and brother were demon hunters?

"Aren't Grandma Gao and Second Year Uncle Demon Hunters?" Su Qian could only think of this result.

Li Zezhe nodded his head firmly. Seeing her look of doubt, he continued, "It's not hard to explain that you think it's hereditary. Grandpa Gao is a reclusive Demon Hunter, but Grandma Gao is an ordinary person. In this case, the possibility of a child becoming a Demon Hunter is fifty percent."

In that case, it was not hard to understand. Su Qian had once heard her uncle Su Yan say that the offspring of monsters and humans were either half-devils or ordinary people, depending on who had more parents.

She suddenly understood, "So before Grandma Gao passed away, she asked Uncle Gao to take care of my brother, but Uncle Gao never complained."

She still remembered what Gao Ming had said to her on the Violet Cloud Mountain, and now it seemed that Uncle Gao had allowed his brother to live like a parasite for so long because he felt guilty about his brother as the only child with a special gift.

"Children inherit their parents' genes, like their mothers, or like their fathers, or half of them. Gao Ming's mother was a Demon Hunter, so Gao Ming was born a Demon Hunter." Li Zezhe continued.

Gao Yuan was also an ordinary person?

Su Qian was a little surprised. No wonder Uncle Gao seemed to love his youngest son more, and he hadn't seen Gao Ming many times in the past year. On one hand, it might have been because Gao Ming was already in college, and on the other hand, it might have been because he cared for the weak, but on the other hand, he pitied Gao Ming. His world didn't understand this kind of karma, so his relationship with Uncle Gao had always been stiff.

"Well, I'll go in and see if I can help. Don't say I said that." Li Zezhe and Su Qian gave each other a look. When they saw that Auntie Qiu was cleaning up the mess, they went back to help.

Under the old locust tree, only Su Qianqian looked at the hazy sky ahead and sighed with emotion...

In the afternoon, Uncle Gao drove to the city lawyer office with the others because of the inheritance dispute.

The three officers of the village had all left, leaving only Su Qian, Li Zezhe, Gao Ming, and Gao Yuan in the big old house.

In the dark sky, a heavy rain came as expected. Thousands of tiny hairs were floating in the air, turning the entire Egret Village white.

"Brother Gao Ming, I made some noodles. Let's eat them while they're hot."

Uncle Gao and the others, who had been delayed by the heavy rain, were still trapped in the city. Su Qian had to cook some noodles with Li Zezhe, and Gao Yuan was eating in the lobby, so Su Qian brought Gao Ming's portion to his room.

He seemed to be chatting with someone, and his fingers were quickly tapping on the screen of his phone. Hearing Su Qianran's words, he nodded slightly and then turned his eyes back to the screen.

Su Qian saw that he was busy, so she didn't say anything more. She turned around and left the room.

Today was the fifteenth day, but there was no full moon in the stormy night sky.

As a result, the cold Qi in Gao Ming's body seemed to have eased a little. Su Qian didn't donate two-thirds of her blood, and with Li Zezhe's excellent acupuncture skills, Gao Ming went to bed early.

Back in her room, Su Qian also fell asleep, exhausted. That night, the wind and rain were blowing heavily outside the window. She didn't know if it was because of her weakness, but she heard a faint howling sound in her sleep.

She was awakened by a sudden chill. The storm was still raging outside the window, but the voice had disappeared.

She looked at her phone. It was 2: 02 in the morning, and then the ring on her finger lit up again.

Boom!

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the sudden sound of thunder startled her. She immediately turned on the light beside the door, and the dark room instantly became bright.

She looked at the ring again and found that it had calmed down. Other than the occasional thunder and the sound of rain, there were no other sounds in the room.

She couldn't understand it at all. She could only think that the weird crying in her dream was just an illusion of the storm outside the window. So she fell asleep again.

At first she thought it was thunder, but then she saw that the rain had stopped and there was another noise outside, followed by a flurry of footsteps that sounded as if something had happened.

She got out of bed, pulling on her coat, and just as she opened the door, she saw Gao Yuan hurrying past with a rope in his hand, and Gao Ming and Li Zezhe coming out of the room diagonally opposite.

"What happened?" Li Zezhe asked uneasily.

Su Qian also shook her head with a blank expression. The three of them followed him out of the courtyard and saw that the old locust tree that had been standing at the entrance of the courtyard had been uprooted. The huge trunk that was hanging in the air had already crushed a corner of the courtyard wall.

"Quick, help!"

Li Zezhe shouted, and the three of them ran forward to help pull the rope.

The ancient trees were so luxuriant that if they fell they would crush the whole house. Su Qian could clearly see the figure of her second-year uncle on the corner of the stone road not far away, and the bulldozer, which had not yet been evacuated, was still in the field below.

"Move the ladder, go to the attic and move the ladder!" In the midst of danger, Uncle Gao shouted with difficulty.

At present, it seemed that Su Qian was the least affected, so she ran back into the courtyard without thinking. However, when she brought the elevator from the attic, she found that the situation had gone out of control.

She immediately put down the ladder that no longer had any place to hide and began to circulate her energy in her dantian. Her hands, which were slowly rising, gathered together to form a purple stream of air and suddenly stretched forward. Two ice crystals followed the direction of her arms and rapidly spread from the ground towards the ancient tree.

Outside the courtyard, Gao Ming and Uncle Gao looked at each other in surprise, but it was only for an instant before they continued to exert their strength, pulling the ancient tree back bit by bit at a very small speed.

The Ice Soul Technique that Su Qian had no choice but to use was undoubtedly exhausting her talent. However, the ancient tree was too heavy, and she already felt that it was a bit strenuous, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it!

Just as the situation was getting better, the roots of the ancient tree suddenly lit up with a dark red light. It was as if it was pushing the ancient tree, going against everyone's power.

What was that?

Su Qian was stunned. He stared at the powerful red light. The ancient tree that he had pulled up with great difficulty was slowly overthrown!
