Fortunately, Fang Ziang's voice was not loud, and the old patriarch's ears were not very good, so he didn't hear him.

On the contrary, when Lu Keming heard this, the hand that was pinching the meat to Yu Youyou stopped, and looked sideways at Fang Ziang.

As soon as Fang Ziang raised his head, he met Lu Keming's cold eyes. He straightened his back, swallowed, pointed dryly at the black earth pine beside Youyou, and explained:

"I said it."

Only then did Lu Keming look away, and did not look at Fang Ziang again.

Several people have already eaten, except for Yu Youyou, everyone has no appetite at this time, and they are waiting for the old patriarch to eat.

The old patriarch finished his meal slowly, and just as Shen Minghua wanted to speak to him, he picked up his pipe again, went to the yard and started to play with the birds, ignoring them.

Lu Keming didn't have any intention of being anxious, he sat on his seat indifferently, and slowly tore Yu Youyou's flesh.

It was like Youyou had finished another meal, she couldn't speak now, and everyone didn't expect her to be able to talk, so she ran to the yard to catch birds, and Lu Keming stood beside her and watched.

Ye Li had no choice but to see the patriarch's daughter-in-law cleaning up the dishes and offered to help.

"Ma'am, I think you've had some time in this house, right?" Ye Li put away the bowl while chatting with the patriarch's daughter-in-law with a smile.

"That's right, this is a house handed down by the ancestors of the Li family. It must have a history of at least 300 years." The patriarch's daughter-in-law is easy to talk, and Ye Li answered when she asked.

"Did the Li family settle here so long ago?" Ye Li pretended to be curious.

"That would have to be earlier." The patriarch's daughter-in-law stopped what she was doing, thought carefully, and continued:

"The Li family has rooted here for generations, and has guarded the Wanmian Buddha for at least a thousand years."

Hearing that the patriarch's daughter-in-law brought up the Wanmian Buddha, Ye Li put away the bowl for a moment, then looked surprised, and asked:

"The Wanmian Buddha has such a long history?"

"That's natural. The Li family has worshiped the Wanmian Buddha for generations, and the guardians of the Buddha in the genealogy have changed dozens of generations. Can this history be so long?" The patriarch's daughter-in-law laughed, her hands still moving swiftly.

Ye Li followed with a smile, with deep meaning in his eyes.What they saw yesterday was that the Buddhist temple and statues were just randomly molded from clay. Such a structure had been worn down by wind and rain in less than a hundred years, so how could it have a history of thousands of years.

Even though he thought so in his heart, Ye Li still complimented him with a smile.

"Then the ancestors of the Li family must have been skilled craftsmen, and they were able to build a Buddha statue that lasted for thousands of years."

Unexpectedly, the patriarch's daughter-in-law shook her head when she heard Ye Li's words.

"The Wanmian Buddha was not built by our ancestors of the Li family. Although I don't know very well, the Li family is only responsible for guarding the Buddha. The Wanmian Buddha has always been in this place."

She looked at the mountain opposite the village, deep in the forest was where the Ten Thousand Mian Buddha was located.

"It may be that some Buddha saw my Li family's sincerity and specially let Li's ancestors discover the Buddha statue, so as to bless our Li family."

Ye Li listened to the words of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, but did not reply in time.

The Wanmian Buddha actually existed before the Li family, so who built it, and why did the ghost that Fang Ziang saw last night appear there?

Ye Li shook hands, looked into the eyes of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, and asked tentatively: "The lady has been here for so many years, has she seen anything strange?"

As soon as Ye Li's words came out, the patriarch's daughter-in-law stopped holding the plate, raised her eyes to look at Ye Li, and the gentleness on her face lost a bit.

"What strange things, what else can you see besides Buddha?"

Although she was still smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

Ye Li looked at the appearance of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, and was sure that she knew something was wrong with the Buddha statue. She didn't panic, she stroked her forehead with the back of her hand, and said in a low voice:

"Maybe it's because the first time I saw a festival like Buddha's Day, I was too shocked, and I had a nightmare last night..."

"In my dream, I went up the mountain with the dog team, and saw a magnificent temple, which enshrined the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha."

Hearing Ye Li's description of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha in the dream, the patriarch's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "And then?"

"Then the dream became strange. A group of ghosts chased after me, scaring me so much that I didn't sleep well all night." Ye Li made a look of fear, with a worried look on his face.

"Those ghosts look so real, it always makes me afraid that I may have bumped into something evil..."

"How is it possible." Before Ye Li finished speaking, the patriarch's daughter-in-law interrupted her, "You didn't have a good rest yesterday, so you dreamed about these gods and ghosts."

"Really?" Ye Li stared into the eyes of the patriarch's daughter-in-law and asked back.

"Of course." The patriarch's daughter-in-law didn't look at Ye Li, and quickly walked into the kitchen with the dishes.

Ye Li looked at the heavy bowl in her hand, and took a few steps forward to bring it over, "Let me help you."

The patriarch's daughter-in-law lightened her hand, she looked at Ye Li, paused for a few seconds, and thanked, "Thank you very much."

"To trouble you today, this is what I should do." Ye Li looked at the patriarch's daughter-in-law's wrist, "I see that when you clean up the table after dinner, you have to change your hand after a while. You must have tenosynovitis."

"Have you noticed this?" The patriarch's daughter-in-law was a little surprised and touched her hand.

Ye Li nodded, put the bowl into the kitchen sink, rolled up his sleeves and started washing the dishes.

"My mother is busy all year round. When I was young, she carried me up and down. When I grew up, she worked in my shop and cooked in the kitchen when I got home. The hands were worn out a lot, and the root of the disease was left. She is also like you, she also suffers from pain from time to time, so I know more about these diseases."

After finishing speaking, Ye Li looked at the patriarch's daughter-in-law next to him, and said, "I'm eating today, and I see that you are the only one doing all the big and small things in this family, and you are probably so busy on weekdays, so you should take a rest. "

"If you can't say rest, just rest." The patriarch's daughter-in-law just laughed, and wanted to reach out to help wash the dishes, but Ye Li pushed her away.

"Then you can take a break now." Ye Li smiled, "You look like my mother when you smile. I feel close to you when I see you, so I want to help you do more things. Although it doesn't help, but this It's like helping my mother."

After finishing speaking, Ye Li sighed, "I couldn't help when I was young, but I left home far away when I was older, and I couldn't go home once in a few months, so I still couldn't help much."

"I always feel that I owe something, and when I encounter similar things, I can't help but make up for it."

The patriarch's daughter-in-law softened a lot after hearing Ye Li's words.

Ye Li looked at the little girl playing in the yard, and asked with a smile, "Your daughter should be in her teens this year. I think she looks quite cute."

"She just turned 12 this year." Speaking of her daughter, the patriarch's daughter-in-law became more gentle.

The two chatted a lot by the pool.

In the yard, Yu Youyou swooped on the bird for a long time, but didn't even touch the bird's butt, Yu Youyou sat on the ground panting.

She must have eaten too much, she used to be able to touch a bird's butt.

Lu Keming knelt down, touched her head, looked at the birds in the sky and asked, "Which one do you want?"

Yu Youyou lay on the ground, raised one eyelid, glanced at the bird on the branch, and immediately pricked up his ears. Just as he was about to point to the fattest bird, he was interrupted by the voice of the old patriarch next to him.

"Come with me."

The old patriarch watched Lu Keming and Yu Youyou from the other side of the yard for a long time, and finally spoke at this moment.

Lu Keming squatted halfway, his eyes fell on Youyou's ears, his emotions were unclear, and the corner of his mouth curled up where no one was looking.

He stood up and followed behind the old patriarch, and Yu Youyou followed in a hurry.

"Just you." The old patriarch turned his head and saw the earth pine at Lu Keming's feet, and said with a calm face.

Yu Youyou paused, her head gradually tilted to one side.
