Evil of all ages

Chapter 27: Humans and animals are harmless
"How could that be? My memory is absolutely correct. This person didn't even appear on the day my uncle died."

"How did someone who shouldn't exist end up here?"

Huang Yu'er wasn't worried about anything, except that the future had already changed and wasn't the future she knew.

"Is it because I came back from the future that some unknown situations occurred, which led to some uncontrollable situations?"

"Am I unique? Is there a second person in the world just like me?"

"If someone, like me, could travel from the future to the past, wouldn't what I do next be quite impressive in their eyes?"

Huang Yu'er is not only worried that the future will be completely different from what she remembers, but also worried that there are people in the world just like her.

This could make her someone else's prey.

"No, don't panic."

"Although I don't know how I could go back to the past and be reborn after I died, my situation should be unique."

Even if I'm wrong, and there really are people like me in the world, they might not be the people around me.

"As long as I make a small movement, the other party shouldn't notice."

"Even if they realize that there is no conflict of interest, since they are all people who have been reborn, they will only cherish their lives more and probably keep to themselves."

Huang Yu'er shook her head slightly, feeling that she didn't need to worry unnecessarily or think about things too far in the future. She decided to focus on getting her body back to normal first.

"Little Peach"

Huang Yu'er called Xiao Tao, who was guarding outside, in.

"Go and buy them, but don't buy them all at once. Go to several pharmacies and buy them separately."

Huang Yu'er wrote down what she needed and handed it to Xiao Tao.

"Miss, this..."

Xiao Tao saw that there were many Chinese herbs on the paper that she didn't recognize. It didn't matter that she didn't recognize the herbs, because the young lady also asked her to go and buy the silver needles used by doctors.

"Don't ask so many questions, just go and buy it."

Huang Yu'er took out the money she had saved, which was given to her by her uncle and third brother during festivals.

He gave all the money he had saved to Xiaotao, telling her not to tell his older brother and third brother about it, and also told her to dress plainly and try not to attract attention.

Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment, but still did as her mistress said.

Night falls
Huang Taichu did not return to the imperial prison because a funeral cannot be completed in a day. Even though there are many rules in the capital, funerals for ordinary people must be simplified.

However, the whole process takes two or three days.

Yin Tianying was not an unfeeling person. He did not force Huang Taichu to return to the prison. Instead, he stayed by Huang Taichu's side and waited until Huang Taichu finished his business before taking him back to the prison.

After returning from the mourning hall in the front yard to the back yard, Huang Yunyou asked Old Fu to call his sister over for dinner.

In other places, women may not be allowed to sit at the table to eat, but there is no such rule here.

When Huang Taichu saw that all the dishes were served, he invited Yin Tianying to sit down at the table.

Yin Tianying was originally a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world), and he didn't have many rules in his eyes. At most, he followed Di Qingtian for a few years, and his behavior became much more restrained.

He readily accepted Huang Taichu's invitation and sat down.

But he was a seasoned veteran, and since Huang Taichu was someone he was keeping an eye on, he would definitely check things carefully before eating.

Without any hesitation, he first took out a silver needle to check if the food was poisoned.

He would then use his chopsticks to pick up the food, smell it to make sure there were no sleeping pills or similar substances before eating it.

However, his behavior made Huang Yunyou feel a little uncomfortable, feeling that the friend his elder brother brought was a bit impolite.

Huang Yu'er remained expressionless, but her heart was filled with doubt.

Although the older brother said this was his friend, it was clear that this person was not a friend, but rather someone who was there to keep an eye on him.

"Brother, your friend is so cautious. He's so careful even when he goes to a friend's house for dinner."

Although Huang Yunyou used a joking tone, everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and they could all tell that Huang Yunyou was dissatisfied with Yin Tianying's behavior.

Yin Tianying continued eating, ignoring Huang Yunyou's words and showing no anger.

A young man who has never experienced anything is not worth wasting your time on.

"It's a personal habit, what's so strange about it?"

Huang Taichu gave a perfunctory reply.

Huang Yunyou was even more dissatisfied when he saw that Yin Tianying didn't even glance at him, treating him like he wasn't there. After all, he was the host. However, the tone of his elder brother's voice made him understand that his brother was telling him to eat more and talk less.

"Brother, your friend also works in prison, but he doesn't look like it."

Huang Yunyou quieted down, but Huang Yu'er couldn't figure out who Yin Tianying was, or whether his appearance here was a coincidence or intentional.

She wouldn't feel at ease until she understood the situation clearly.

"Yes, he's not in jail, he's from the Dali Temple."

Huang Taichu said casually.

Dali Temple x2
Upon hearing this, Huang Yunyou and Huang Yu'er both turned their gazes toward them, wanting to know why the people from the Dali Temple were following their elder brother.

“The prison is haunted, and a jailer has been killed. I am a suspect, and if I want to come back, I naturally need someone to accompany me.”

Huang Taichu cast a questioning look at Yin Tianying, asking if he could speak. Yin Tianying gave him an indifferent look, so he calmly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yu'er's emotions surged. How could there be another situation that didn't match her memory?

"Suspicion!? Are you kidding me? What does the murder of the jailer and the ghost story have to do with you, brother? Are the people from the Dali Temple who came to investigate the case senile?"

Huang Yunyou felt that the people from the Dali Temple were too incompetent; how could his harmless older brother have any problems?

When Yin Tianying heard Huang Yunyou speaking ill of his master, he wasn't angry; instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

When it comes to investigating cases, Huang Yunyou was the first to say that his own father was senile.

I'll let this meal be the reason for not arguing with this ignorant brat.

"Yunyou, that's enough. Lord Yin is only letting it go because you just lost your father and because of this meal."

"If you can't control your emotions, you won't survive more than a few days if you go out and make your way in the world."

Huang Taichu said with a sense of disappointment.

"Brother, I may have lost my temper, but it's unacceptable for them to wrong you like this."

Huang Yunyou shrank back slightly, but remained stubborn.

"What injustice? It's just suspicion. Do you understand what suspicion is?"

“In the prison, everyone is a suspect. I am just a suspect, but I have not been convicted of murder.”

Huang Taichu remained silent.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yunyou calmed down and realized that it was indeed his own problem.

"It was my recklessness that offended you. Please forgive me."

Huang Yunyou bowed and apologized to Yin Tianying.

Yin Tianying ate her chicken leg, waved her hand, and indicated that everything was fine.

"Brother, can you tell me about what happened in the prison? How can you be suspected of being the one who caused all the ghosts?"

Huang Yu'er asked with an expression befitting her age, feigning curiosity like a child.

"Because many people in the prison suspect that the evil spirit that killed the prison guard was our father."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

"what?"

Huang Yu'er blinked her eyes, looking incredibly cute. How could she possibly connect this to her father, who had been dead for a year?

"Don't worry about these things. I don't believe in evil spirits killing people at all. I'm sure the officials of the Dali Temple will solve this case soon."

"Okay, I'm full and tired. I'm going to rest now."

At his uncle's house, Huang Taichu naturally had his own room, and he got up and walked towards his room.

Yin Tianying quickly wiped her hands, got up, and followed.

"Third Brother, are you going to be a ghostwriter?"

Huang Yu'er noticed that Huang Yunyou had no appetite and was occasionally lost in thought, clearly still not recovered from his uncle's death, but that didn't stop her from asking questions.

"How did you know? Did your older brother tell you?"

"No, my brother was with me all day. If he had told you, how could I not know? Besides, my brother would never have told you this."

Huang Yunyou looked at his sister with a puzzled expression, wondering how she knew.
