Abandoned Wives of the Ages: Getting Rich from Space Warehouses

Chapter 657 A false alarm

Entering the hotel, Huo Xu asked his nephew: "I didn't expect that you have a good relationship with the girl from the Xiang family. What did she say to you just now?"

Huo Benli passed him and entered the elevator first: "Nothing, just asking about something."

As he spoke, he pressed the floor button and asked in surprise, as if he had just come to his senses: "Uncle, when did you become such a bitch?"

Huo Xu: "."

Today's children are not cute at all, especially this one in his family. He is so tricky at such a young age. Who will want to get along with him when he grows up? No one can stand him?

At dinner that night, the nephew couldn't ask anything, so Huo Xu turned to Zhuzhu's side.

He brought a cup of freshly squeezed juice and placed it in front of Zhuzhu: "Hello, little Zhuzhu. Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

Zhuzhu smiled slightly: "I don't mind, Uncle Huo, you can sit down."

Huo Xu smiled, pulled out the chair and sat down on Zhuzhu's right side.

Da'an, who was sitting on the left side of Zhuzhu, stared at the light red juice on the table, swallowed his saliva and asked: "Uncle Huo, why did you prepare only one cup of juice? This cup was given to my sister, what about us? You can't do it with me.

In their minds, we are redundant, right?”

Huo Benli sat opposite and rolled his eyes when no one was paying attention. Although Daan was annoying, he really told the truth this time.

His little uncle may look as gentle as a young man on the outside, but in reality he is a smiling tiger with a belly as black as ink.

He is so attentive to Zhuzhu. According to his temperament, he must ask Zhuzhu for something or ask for something, which is profitable. Otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy his attentiveness.

"How is that possible!"

Huo Xu snapped his fingers at the waiter at the back, and the waiter came forward.

He pointed to the children present: "Give them a glass of juice each, and ask them what flavor they like to drink."

The waiter smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Huo."

Several children cheered and ordered their favorite juices from the waiter.

In fact, they are not people who cannot afford to drink juice, they are just happy to have a big brother treat them outside and take care of them.

Zhuzhu took a small sip and looked at Huo Xu with a half-smile: "Uncle Huo is not a person who treats others easily. What do you want from me when you bring me a glass of juice? While my parents are still here,

If you don’t come down, you might as well just say so.”

Huo Xu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhuzhu to be so direct, and he didn't expect that a little girl like her would be so transparent.

"Did I guess wrong?" Zhuzhu frowned slightly when Huo Xu didn't speak.

Huo Xu saw the eyebrows on her fair and tender face wrinkled slightly, and his mood suddenly improved: "You guessed it right, I have something to ask, but it may be a little different from what you thought. I, a college student, have no respect for you kids.

Malice."

Zhuzhu pouted and corrected him: "Please respect us. Although we are small, we are not children."

Huo Xu looked at her carefully with interest: "You are just a kid in front of me."

Zhuzhu snorted unhappily: "Only those who celebrate Children's Day are called children. I no longer have the right to celebrate Children's Day this year, so you can't call me a child."

Huo Xu thought about it distressedly for a while, then asked tentatively: "If I don't call you, what do I call you? Should I call you Zhuzhu?"

After saying that, his eyes suddenly flashed brightly: "You are right, I will call you Zhuzhu from now on."

Zhuzhu: "."

Her intuition told her that she seemed to have been fooled by him just now!

"Zhuzhu, I want to ask you a question." Huo Xu struck while the iron was hot and called directly.

Zhuzhu didn't think any more and smiled politely: "What's the problem?"

Huo Xu glanced at his eldest nephew opposite who was drinking juice, and looked at Zhuzhu with a smile: "What did you ask Ben Li to ask him about today?"

Zhuzhu was stunned, "That's it?"

"Well, that's it?" Huo Xu looked at the kid-sized Zhuzhu in a funny way, "What do you think is wrong with me?"

Zhuzhu found that Uncle Huo's smile was so fake. Through this smile, she could not see his true intention behind the mask.

She didn't like the smiling face, so she said directly: "Uncle Huo, your smile is so fake."

Huo Xu's smile, which he thought was very kind, faltered, and then a hint of helplessness appeared on his face: "You kid, just tell the truth."

Zhuzhu frowned slightly. She felt particularly awkward when hearing someone who was several years older than her call her a child.

"You haven't told me yet, what did you ask?"

"Are you afraid that I will be harmful to your eldest nephew?" Zhuzhu asked, tilting her head.

Huo Xu shook his head: "No, I was just out of pure curiosity."

Zhuzhu didn't completely believe what he said. She took a sip of juice. For the sake of the juice, she said: "It's not a big deal, it's just."

Zhuzhu told him what happened that afternoon.

"Ha ha."

Huo Xu listened completely for fun, but couldn't help laughing out loud afterwards. He shook his head: "You children's ideas are so wild and unbridled that it's hard to describe them in words. According to what you said, they haven't discovered anything yet and they frightened themselves quite a lot.

"

While drinking juice and eating cold cuts, Huo Benli paid attention to the movements of his uncle and Zhuzhu. He saw them whispering to each other and laughing from time to time. The worst thing was that he didn't know what they were talking about?

Looking at the scene in front of him, his brows were almost knotted.

When Xiang Yisen and Yu Qing entered the restaurant, what caught their eyes was Zhuzhu and Huo Xu chatting happily.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Qing didn't expect that they could still talk even though they were five or six years apart.

Hearing this, Huo Xu restrained the wanton smile on his face and said, "Gang Zhuzhu told a joke, it's quite funny."

Yu Qing nodded and asked everyone to order without asking.

After everyone ordered their favorite dishes, Yu Qing noticed that the children had a glass of juice that was almost finished in front of them.

"If you drink such a large glass of juice before a meal, can you still eat it later? Don't burst your little stomach!"

Huo Xu scratched the bridge of his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, it's my fault. I didn't think carefully and asked the waiter to serve them juice."

Seeing that he had come out to take responsibility, Xiang Yisen didn't want Yu Qing to say anything, so he spoke first: "Then our dishes will be served slowly, and everyone will eat slowly and digest while eating. After the meal is finished, the juice they drank will also

It’s almost digested.”

Seeing someone helping him out, Huo Xu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Brother Xiang is right. Let's eat slowly. We won't be in a hurry at night."

During the dinner, Xiang Yisen asked about everyone's plans for tomorrow, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Da'an glanced at Xiaoan and spoke first: "We haven't finished visiting the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty today. There are still so many cemeteries of emperors and concubines that we haven't visited yet. We will continue to visit there tomorrow."

Xiang Yisen looked at the other children, and they all nodded in unison. The royal cemetery they saw today was different from what they imagined. They will continue to explore tomorrow.

"Okay, let's continue to Qing Dong Tomb tomorrow." Xiang Yisen made the final decision, but he glanced at the children and said, "I believe you gained a lot today. After dinner, everyone will write a travel note for me.

I want to check it before departure tomorrow morning."

When the children heard that they still had tasks today, they howled and suddenly felt that the delicious food on the table no longer tasted good.

Yu Qing looked at the exaggerated expressions of several children and was a little bit dumbfounded: "A travelogue is not a trivial matter for you. Is it necessary to use this expression to gain sympathy?"

Da'an said with a bitter face: "Mom, let's not talk about whether we are busy or not. Let's just say that we have been running outside all day, and our feet are already so sore. We still have to finish our homework when we get back. So when will we finish our homework tonight?

Can you rest?"

The most important thing is that they want to go back tonight to summarize the reasons for the failure of Kanyu today so that they can find something in the cemetery tomorrow.

Yu Qing was not affected by him and had a firm attitude: "It's just a travelogue, half an hour is enough. Children, believe in yourself. You can do it."

A delicious dinner that almost gave several children stomachaches!

I thought that I would finish the summer vacation homework for the past few days before going on a trip, so that I could indulge myself in fun these days. Unexpectedly, my loving and respectful parents assigned me extracurricular homework.

Just because Zhuzhu and Daan and Xiaoan have good academic performance does not mean that they like to do homework.

Originally, I wanted to summarize tonight the reasons for the failure of Kanyu today, so that I can learn from the experience and study the cemeteries of other emperors tomorrow.

Now it seems that they have no time to summarize and communicate with them.

Huo Benli and Huo Bencheng both looked at Huo Xu nervously. They were afraid that their uncle would imitate the parents of the Xiang family and give them extra homework.

Of course Huo Xu noticed the looks in the children's eyes, and it was not difficult to guess what they were thinking. It's just that he was not their parent, and there was no need to be such a villain when he went out to play.

It is only appropriate to leave naughty children to their own parents!

After breakfast the next day, the group set off again.

This time when they entered the cemetery, Da'an and Xiaoan no longer wandered around several halls. Instead, they went to more remote side halls or unobtrusive nooks and crannies.

Not to mention, a few children running around with compasses in their hands, although it attracted people's attention, no one took it seriously and just regarded it as children messing around.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and several children made a discovery in a remote corner of a concubine's garden.

"Xiao An, do you see anything?" Zhuzhu stretched her neck to look at the compass, wondering what the purpose of this thing is.

Xiao An looked at the compass thoughtfully, frowned, looked left and right, and said seriously: "The feng shui of this cemetery is not very good, it cannot be compared to the imperial mausoleum in front of it."

Zhuzhu heard a "Pfft" and laughed out loud: "I don't see that you are quite good at making things up. As we all know, the feng shui of Fei's Mausoleum is definitely not as good as that of Emperor's Mausoleum. Do you still need to say that?"

Xiao An glared: "Don't look down on people. What I said is well-founded and not just made up."

Zhuzhu covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, and nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, you're right, your words are well-founded."

Da'an poked Zhuzhu, who was overjoyed, and spoke with a trembling voice: "Sister, you, you, what do you see over there?"

Zhuzhu turned to look at him, holding back a smile and asked casually: "Where is it?"

"That!" Daan pointed to an inconspicuous corner, which can be regarded as a blind spot.

Zhuzhu followed his finger and looked over. There were a lot of short weeds growing in the mottled corners of the wall, and there were moss in some low places.

It's such a corner where no one is looking away, and it's also such a corner where not many people are walking around.

At this moment, several children were shocked to find a small embroidered shoe there!

The bright colors, bright red and green, are particularly dazzling.

Several children were shocked. How could there be embroidered shoes in such a place?!

At this time, a gust of wind blew down from the top of the wall. Zhuzhu was the girl who couldn't stand it first. She stood on her head with all the hair on her body and howled: "Ah! There is a ghost!" She rushed towards the front hall.

Daan and Xiaoan didn't care about their image at this time and kept up as fast as possible.

Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen were coming out of the palace with others when they heard Zhuzhu's frightened howl. They were so frightened that they staggered and almost fell down the stone steps.

Xiang Yisen was faster. After stabilizing his body, he jumped down the stone steps in a few jumps and quickly ran towards the direction where the children's voices came from.

Yu Qing followed closely behind.

Seeing this, other tourists were curious about what happened and followed suit.

When Yu Qing caught up with Xiang Yisen, he had already held Zhuzhu in his arms and comforted her.

"What happened?"

Zhuzhu was so frightened that she was speechless for a moment. No matter how Yu Qing asked, she would only cry.

However, Daan and Xiaoan, who were running behind, came to their senses. The boys were more courageous, and they felt more secure after seeing their parents.

Da'an took a breath, pointed behind him and said, "We found an embroidered shoe in the corner over there, the kind worn by ancient people."

In such an ancient cemetery, the tourists who followed were startled when they heard the children's words, and everyone started talking about it.

The commotion here alerted the cemetery management office. Several children were almost scared out of their wits, and it attracted their attention.

After hearing what the children said, they felt a little bit in their hearts. This matter was a bit mysterious!

——

But an hour later.

Xiang Yisen walked out of the cemetery management office with his wife, children and three members of the Huo family.

He carried Zhuzhu on his back and walked out, asking in a warm voice: "Are you still afraid now?"

Zhuzhu lay lazily on her father's back and weakly shook her head: "I'm not afraid anymore."

Da'an and Xiao'an lowered their heads and followed the adults with frustrated faces. They didn't say a word along the way. They felt that although today's incident was a mistake, it was still a false alarm caused by their excessive curiosity.

.

If it weren't for their excessive curiosity, they wouldn't have discovered such a thing.

The explanation given by the management office today was that the shoes left behind by the employees who played the role of ancient maids were very sorry for frightening them. Of course, as an apology they compensated and refunded their ticket money.

But, as a child with strong self-esteem, this is a bit embarrassing!

A few children who were determined to explore, but their ambitions were not fulfilled, were so frightened that they were really embarrassed and humiliated!

Huo Benli saw the three wilted siblings, silently put his compass into his bag, pursed his lips and followed his uncle's footsteps.

Yu Qing felt sorry for the children and said hesitantly: "Let's rush home overnight and let my grandma help calm them down, so as not to have nightmares and high fever at night."
