Chapter 113 The Bell Tower in Weizi Lane

Ye Yang's face darkened slightly, "Then how do you make people believe you have the yin-yang eyes? Just making up stories?"

"Not entirely!" Chen Xiaobao said, "Xiao Bei was often scared by people outside the window and couldn't sleep. I told her, tell me everything you see, and you won't be afraid if you say it."

"She told me everything she saw, and then I changed the gender and identity of those people she saw and told others, and some people believed it."

Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing exchanged glances before coldly saying, "Continue!"

Chen Xiaobao said with a sad face, "Brother Ye, what do you want me to say? I really don't know what to say?"

Feng Ruoxing said in a deep voice, "I heard that your grandfather and your father never believed in ghosts and gods, and they didn't allow feng shui masters to enter your house. Your family offended a lot of people because of this."

Chen Xiaobao instinctively argued, "This matter can't be blamed on my grandfather and my father. They wanted to take care of the affairs of Weizi Lane, but they couldn't because the things my great-grandfather left behind were gone."

Feng Ruoxing gently nudged Ye Yang, her meaning being: Chen Xiaobao's words matched the information I got from Xu Er.

If Xu Er didn't send back false information, the three fingers that the Chen family's old man stretched out before his death should have been something he entrusted.

Chen Xiaobao said, "The old neighbors in the lane all know that my great-grandfather didn't rest in peace, and they all said that my grandfather was unfilial and not my great-grandfather's biological son. In fact, my grandfather had already received the things my great-grandfather left behind."

"As for what my grandfather didn't agree to, I don't know. He and my father never said anything."

Chen Xiaobao looked up at Ye Yang at this point, as if hesitating whether he should tell Ye Yang about the Chen family's affairs.

Ye Yang's face darkened, wanting to speak, but Feng Ruoxing stopped Ye Yang, "Chen Xiaobao, I'm only going to say this once, it's best if you can listen, if you can't, then we'll go our separate ways, and I'll arrange a relatively safe place for you."

Feng Ruoxing said sternly, "Chen Xiaobao, whether you're young and frivolous or ignorant, your actions are not worth arguing about in the eyes of most people."

"However, before you do certain things, you should first think that you are a person. Everyone has something worth protecting, whether that thing is right or wrong, good or evil in the eyes of others, it is their own persistence."

"If your persistence only contains ridicule, insults, and scolding, and you unscrupulously release malice in order to attract the attention of others. Then, we don't need to say anything more, and the goal of your life is limited to this."

"If there are still your family members in your persistence, and the family affection that you need to protect, then I hope you can think about them. Think about what you can do for them?"

In the eyes of Feng Ruoxing and Ye Yang, Chen Xiaobao was just a child, a child struggling between arrogance and inferiority.

The reason why he was unwilling to reveal the Chen family's secrets was definitely not because he understood the dangers of the martial world and couldn't easily trust others. If he had such a city, he wouldn't have turned himself into a clown and still be complacent.

He didn't say it, just because he wanted to keep that secret, so that he would still have the opportunity to become the focus of attention in the future.

However, if this secret is kept, the Chen family may be gone.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Xiaobao said, "I don't know much about this matter. I only know that my family's secrets are hidden in the bell tower of Weizi Lane."

Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "Weizi Lane has a bell tower?"

In ancient times, bell towers were generally built in the center of the city or close to the city gates. Either to tell the time or to give a warning.

The location of Weizi Lane is extremely remote, and it is not very reasonable to build a bell tower there in itself, let alone the bell tower is built inside the lane.

Chen Xiaobao nodded and said, "There used to be one, right at the entrance of the lane. The bronze bell on the bell tower has long been gone. But the bell tower was still there a few years ago."

"Later, my second uncle sold the bell tower, and that place was demolished."

Feng Ruoxing interrupted him, "Are you saying that you have another second uncle?"

"Yes!" Chen Xiaobao said, "My second uncle is much younger than my father. I haven't seen him much since I was a child. I haven't seen my second uncle since he sold the bell tower."

"By the way, Chen Xiaobei is actually my second uncle's daughter. It wasn't until he sold the bell tower and ran away that Chen Xiaobei came to my house. The old neighbors in the lane all know about these things."

Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Chen Xiaobao gritted his teeth and continued:

In fact, when my great-grandfather was alive, he worked as a night watchman. In the past, the sound of my great-grandfather's night watch could be heard for several miles. When he beat the clapper in the alley, people on several streets knew that my great-grandfather was out on his watch.

After my great-grandfather passed away, my grandfather took over the job of night watchman. However, no one liked to listen to my grandfather's night watch at that time.

Because my grandfather's night watch was very different from my great-grandfather's. He never went anywhere else, just wandered around near the bell tower.
