Chapter 694 Temporary Rest
"Nephew, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Lin Hao rushing to Renjia Town in a hurry, Taoist Qianhe asked curiously, "Why are you so flustered?"

Lin Hao frowned and said:

"Uncle Master, don't you find that the yin energy in Renjia Town is a bit heavy?"

"Yin energy?" Qianhe's expression became solemn when he heard that, then he made some hand gestures and chanted a spell, opened his Yin-Yang eyes, and then looked around.

But after Qianzuru checked it, she smiled with a relaxed expression and said:
My nephew, you are worrying too much. The gathering of negative energy is not because of any rebellion by demons or monsters, but because it is almost July 15th, the day when the gates of hell are wide open.

"Mid-July, Ghost Festival!" Lin Hao suddenly realized that the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is commonly known as Mid-July.

July 15th is called the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that on this day all ghosts are released from the underworld, and people generally hold activities to worship ghosts.

Families that have recently lost a loved one must visit the new grave, and generally offer sacrifices to lonely ghosts in the local area. Therefore, the Zhongyuan Festival is a festival centered on worshiping ghosts and has become the largest ghost festival among the Chinese people.

"This is actually still good. If you wait for another half a month, the whole world will be like a den of ghosts in front of you!"

At this time, Taoist Qianhe glanced at Lin Hao's eyes and said with some envy:

"Because you were born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, you can see the gathering of ghosts and spirits. Ordinary people can't see them, so they just need to perform the sacrifice normally!"

As long as the living people on earth offer sacrifices to their ancestors and appease the dead, basically nothing will happen! "

Lin Hao finally relaxed after listening to Qianhe's explanation. As long as nothing happened, it was fine. However, when it came to the Ghost Festival, Lin Hao suddenly thought of another drama, "Zombie Lord". In the drama, a series of plots occurred because Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai let the ghosts run away.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao couldn't help but feel a little excited, looking forward to a head-on confrontation with Shi Jian.

After a while, Lin Hao and his group arrived at the charity cemetery. Before they entered, Wencai heard some noise outside and ran out.

"Junior brother, you're back!" Wencai just greeted Lin Hao and immediately noticed Qingqing behind Lin Hao. He became even more excited.

"Gang~!" Qian He slapped his head, and then asked dissatisfiedly: "Why, you haven't seen Uncle Master for so long, you don't recognize me?"

"Ah, sorry uncle-master, we didn't notice it just now!" Wencai then noticed uncle-master Qianhe behind Lin Hao, and immediately realized that he had neglected this uncle-master. No wonder he was being taught a lesson.

Then, without paying any attention to Qingqing who had just stepped off the paper horse, he immediately ran into the room, shouting:
"Master, Uncle Qianhe and Junior Brother are back!" He then added, "Junior Brother also brought back a girl~!"

As he was speaking, Uncle Jiu had already come out of the room. When he saw Qianhe, a smile broke out on his serious face. Among his several junior brothers, Qianhe was the most reassuring one.

"Senior brother, long time no see..." Qianhe said while bowing.

"Junior brother, long time no see..." After the two of them saluted each other, Uncle Jiu immediately said happily: "Junior brother, come in and sit down!"

After the two of them finished their greetings, Lin Hao took Qingqing's hand and walked to Uncle Jiu and said:

"Master, this is my adopted sister. She is Uncle Simu's neighbor and Master Ikkyu's lay disciple!"

Uncle Jiu only noticed Qingqing at this time, and immediately figured out what was going on. Then he said meaningfully:

"Ah Hao, there are some things you still need to pay attention to!"

The reminder in Uncle Jiu's words couldn't be more obvious. He already had Ren Tingting, but not long after, he brought back a little one. He was afraid that Ren Tingting would be unhappy and miss out on a good marriage.

However, Lin Hao naturally understood the kindness in Uncle Jiu's words, and then said frankly:
"Master, don't worry. When I left, Tingting said she didn't mind me looking for other women. At the same time, I have already told Qingqing about Tingting's matter, and she has no objection!"

"Uh~!" Uncle Jiu didn't expect Lin Hao to be so fierce and had actually dealt with Tingting so long ago. He couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking about the fact that his urine was still boy's urine, while Lin Hao's was 30% right, he suddenly felt sad and felt that the world was unfair.

"Alright!" Uncle Jiu shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, you should take care of your own affairs. I can't say much. Just don't let others down."

Wencai, who was standing by, felt disheartened when he heard Qingqing was willing to follow Lin Hao even though she knew that Lin Hao already had Tingting. It was really a waste of time!
Wencai complained silently in his heart that although this country girl was a little rustic, she still looked quite pretty. Why was she so depressed that she had to hang herself on Lin Hao's tree?

Seeing Uncle Jiu leading Qianhe back to the room, Lin Hao said again:
"Master, then I will go back to find Tingting first!"

"Wait!" Uncle Jiu heard this and immediately stopped Lin Hao and said, "I almost forgot, Tingting and Master Ren have gone to her second uncle's house to attend the funeral, they are not at Ren's house."

"Going to the funeral, second uncle?" Lin Hao was a little confused when he heard this, then frowned and asked:
"Master, does Master Ren have other brothers?"

"Didn't Tingting and Master Ren tell you?" Uncle Jiu asked curiously.

"No, Tingting doesn't seem to know. Mr. Ren didn't tell me!" At this time, Lin Hao had a vague guess in his heart. He was afraid that he had come into contact with the world of film and television again.

Uncle Jiu did not suspect anything and told him the background of the Ren family. It turned out that the three brothers of the Ren family established their own family after their great-grandfather's death.

The first branch of the family is the Ren Weiyong branch, the second branch is the Ren Tiandong branch, and the third branch is the Ren Yaowen branch. After the third branch split up, the Ren Weiyong branch continued to stay in Renjia Town, manage the business, and maintain the ancestral property.

The Nintendo lineage went to develop in another town a hundred miles away. Coincidentally, this place was also called Renjia Town. After decades of development, they also became local gentry.

As for the third son, Ren Yaowen, he left his hometown with some money and went to the provincial capital, which was ravaged by war at the time, to seek a chance to survive. Later, he could not stand the war and retreated to Dongtou Town, not far from the provincial capital.

Today, each of the three branches of the Ren family has its own fortunes, but if we were to say who is doing the best, it would still be the line of Ren Yaowen, who was the least favored back then.

People have closeness and distance, and the same is true for the Ren family. As Ren Yaowen's lineage grew stronger, Ren Weiyong and the Ren Nintendo lineage were both on good terms with Ren Yaowen's lineage.

However, Ren Weiyong and Ren Nintendo, who lived in the next town, had a rather cold relationship and seldom communicated with each other.

But now Nintendo has passed away, and it was originally just a family dispute of pride rather than an irreconcilable conflict. Therefore, after receiving the news of Nintendo's death, he also took Nintendo to attend the funeral.

Nintendo, Ren Zhuzhu, "Music Zombie", Lin Hao immediately remembered the source.

There is just one more person, Ren Yaowen, whom Lin Hao has no impression of. However, Lin Hao is not in a hurry. Anyway, he estimates that Ren Yaowen's descendants will also have to go to the funeral. He will know the answer by investigating then.

Wait, Lin Hao suddenly realized that he didn’t know how far the plot of the music zombies had progressed.

So Lin Hao quickly asked:

"Master, how long have Tingting and the others been gone?"

"I went there five days ago!" he said.

"Five days!" Lin Hao remembered that Nintendo should have been delivered on the sixth day, but was caught by the foreigners for experiments. On the seventh day, Ah Hao and Ah Qiang pretended to be Nintendo, trying to fool the people of the Nintendo family.

Lin Hao originally wanted to go directly to another Renjia Town, but looking at Qingqing who looked exhausted, Lin Hao thought about it and decided to wait until tomorrow, after all, there was still time.

Then Lin Hao said goodbye to Uncle Jiu and said to Qingqing, "Come on, I'll take you home to wash up, and then buy you some clothes!"

When Qingqing heard about washing up, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, so she said awkwardly:

"Washing is no problem, but forget about buying clothes! I have clothes with me!"

"Enough, still be so polite to me!" Lin Hao said and pulled Qingqing away without saying anything.

And Qingqing did not strongly refuse, and followed Lin Hao away. After all, the thought of taking a shower was extremely tempting for her who was exhausted from the journey.

Afterwards, Lin Hao took Qingqing back to wash up, and then took her for a stroll in the town, buying some jewelry, clothes and other supplies.

Originally, Qingqing didn't want the clothes and cosmetics bought by Lin Hao, but girls these days are simple-minded. Lin Hao's casual joke made Qingqing laugh sweetly, and she accepted the gifts from Lin Hao.

The two of them talked as they walked, and Qingqing felt more and more that Lin Hao was outstanding. He spoke sweetly, acted decisively, and could make girls happy. She had no idea how many times she was amused along the way.

At this time, the two of them came to Qiu Sheng's aunt's rouge and powder shop. Looking at Qiu Sheng who was dozing off, Lin Hao tapped the counter with his fingers twice:

"Kuk-kuk, Qiu Sheng, don't be lazy, business is coming!"

Qiu Sheng basically runs the store during the day and only returns to the charity cemetery occasionally.

"You're back?" Seeing Lin Hao push open the door and walk in, Qiu Sheng, who was originally doing nothing and dozing off, suddenly came to life.

Lin Hao laughed and introduced Qingqing behind him: "This is my junior brother Qiu Sheng, he is quite skilled."

Qiu Sheng looked at Qingqing in frustration, and then said in great surprise:
"Where did you kidnap this village girl? Watch out for Tingting beating you up. You want to find a young girl before you even get married. You have a very unique taste."

Qingqing, who was about to say hello, froze in her face, and her raised hand stopped in mid-air. She covered her forehead with her hand in pain. Why were they all like this?

"Nonsense!" Lin Hao slapped Qiu Sheng in anger and said:

"This is the apprentice of my uncle's friend. I brought her here to buy some things and clothes to dress her up. Look at what you say. Be careful or I'll beat you up when we get back!"

"Ah!" Qiu Sheng was stunned. He thought this girl was kidnapped by Lin Hao from somewhere, but it turned out to be his junior sister. This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Qiu Sheng hurriedly took two steps back: "Uh, look at it as you like, look at it as you like, don't mind what I say, I didn't mean it!"

"Ren Tingting is beautiful?"

Carrying a bunch of rouge and powder given to her for free by Qiu Sheng as an apology, Qingqing followed Lin Hao in a depressed mood.

Lin Hao sighed and turned to look at Qingqing:

"You are actually very pretty, but you just don't dress up. You should know that even the most beautiful girl will lower her score if she doesn't dress up."

"I'll take you to get your hair done first. Change your hairstyle and put on some nice clothes. Then go back and put on some makeup and you'll be beautiful. If Jiale, Wencai, and Qiusheng see you now, I guarantee they'll drool!"

"But~!" Shy Qingqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Hao:

"No buts, just listen to me!"

Lin Hao took Qingqing with him and went to the most fashionable barber shop in town. He said to the barber:

"Change her hairstyle, hmm~~, long wavy hair, and help me put on her makeup!"

At this point, Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll just do her makeup myself!"

Although makeup can be done by the people in the barber shop and it is just a matter of paying a few more cents, Lin Hao feels that doing Qingqing's makeup himself will make her happier.

"Huh?" Qingqing was confused. What are big waves? Brother Hao even did her makeup himself?
Before she could come to her senses, the hairdresser pushed her into a chair, quickly untied her long braids, and started to style her hair.

Lin Hao left the barber shop and went to the clothing store next door, and brought the proprietress back with him.
"Measure her and make her a few more fashionable clothes. Also, get two sets of dresses from your store, one blue and one white, the conservative kind!"

"Also, bring a pair of leather shoes each. Pick nice ones to match the clothes. Don't bring inferior ones." Lin Hao reminded the proprietress.

"Okay, Captain Lin, I promise to get it done for you!" The proprietress said quickly after hearing this.

Qingqing, who was having her hair done, felt very tortured. It took her a whole afternoon to finish. The hairdresser kept fiddling with her hair, and the owner of the clothing store also kept messing with her.

The most embarrassing thing was that Lin Hao kept drawing on her face and didn't let her see it, but soon she looked at herself in the mirror in surprise.

"Is this really me?"

When everything was done, Qingqing looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it. She had transformed from a country girl to an urban beauty in a second. She was completely two different people!

"Hi, beautiful lady, my name is Qiu Sheng, and I'm Lin Hao's senior. May I know your name, beautiful lady~!"

When Qiu Sheng and Lin Hao met up, Qiu Sheng was stunned by Qingqing's drastic change.

But a few seconds later, he looked at Lin Hao depressedly, as if asking:
"Have I offended this beautiful lady? Why is she giving me the cold shoulder?"

Qiu Sheng never thought that the beauty in front of him was the village girl he had mentioned in the afternoon.

Are you kidding? Lin Hao personally did Qingqing’s makeup and selected her clothes and makeup himself. How could he survive in the universe without some skills?

"Haha, you were still looking down on me a few hours ago. It's strange that others would pay attention to you!" Lin Hao laughed gloatingly:

"Didn't you say that she was a country girl? Oh, after changing her lines, she suddenly became a beauty!" Lin Hao smiled and teased Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng was completely confused. Obviously, with her big wavy makeup, blue skirt and leather shoes, she could no longer be associated with the rustic country girl before. The difference before and after the kidnapping was too great.

"Junior brother, you are here in town too. Who is Qingqing?"

When Wencai came to find Lin Hao, he was stunned to see Qingqing in disguise. She was as beautiful as Ren Tingting when he first saw her, but she had changed so much in just a few hours. It's true that girls change a lot when they grow up!
"Yes!" Lin Hao said proudly.

"She's so beautiful, as beautiful as Tingting!" Wencai said with an obsessed look on his face, and then Wencai and Qiu Sheng praised Qingqing again.

In the end, Qingqing felt embarrassed by all the praise, and then Lin Hao asked Wencai:
"Wencai, why did you come to town suddenly? Why didn't you accompany the master?"

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Wencai heard this and then remembered his mission, so he said:
"Master asked you to go back for a while, saying that he has something to discuss with you!"
