Chapter 58

"Everyone get on the car."

Younis stood in front of the hearse, gesturing for everyone to get on.

Mina, Rent, Lilith, and Sarah each received help from Younis as they got on.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Thank you, teacher."

Younis also got on the hearse, closed the door, pulled up the handle, and found a row of seats filled with four children. The entire opposite row was empty for herself.

"Don't you mind the crowd?"

Everyone said in unison, "Teacher, we don't mind the crowd."

"Do you want someone to sit with me over here?"

No one spoke.

Even Mina, who was usually the most sensible, seemed a bit shy at this point.

There was no way around it. What kind of experience was it for your math teacher to suddenly become your fiancée's sister-in-law? Of course, shyness plus shyness, completely lost the momentum of encouraging her brother to work harder.

"Well then."

Younis could only sit alone on the opposite side. In the rectangular recess in front of her, there was a barbecue grill, charcoal, and various meats that had been marinated since last night.

Karun sat in the driver's seat and started the hearse. Looking through the rearview mirror, he said, "Mina, come sit with your sister."

Mina blinked and could only smile, "Okay, brother. Teacher, here I come."

Younis reached out and helped Mina jump over. After Mina sat next to her, Younis held Mina's little hand in her own.

Mina's face had a smile similar to when she was receiving an award, elegant, dignified, and a bit stiff.

Rent, Chris, and Sarah, who were sitting opposite, showed a gloating expression.

"Everyone sit tight, don't run around, if there's anything, tell me first, got it?"

"Got it, brother."

"Got it, Karun."

Karun started the hearse and headed for a farm in the suburbs.

Last time, Mrs. Jenny came to his house, and it seemed that she had a very pleasant conversation with Dis. In any case, Mrs. Jenny, who came out of the study, was more enthusiastic towards him than before.

Karun even felt that if he held Younis's hand and said, "It's too late and raining, why not stay here for the night?" Mrs. Jenny would most likely agree.

Although Karun couldn't imagine the scene of Dis having a "pleasant" and "enthusiastic" conversation, the effect was very good.

Furthermore, Karun was aware that the day he had to go to Vienna was getting closer and closer, and what he was most reluctant to leave behind was his family.

So these days, he tried to make lunch more abundant every day and patiently taught his aunt and aunt the tips of making Chinese food.

For these younger brothers and sisters who usually had to go to school, Karun chose to take them out for barbecue on weekends.

If they were destined to be apart for a while, at least they could leave more cherished memories in each other's hearts.

But Karun felt that this separation wouldn't be too long.

Dis had to deal with something very important right now, and the aftermath of this matter would be significant, but Karun believed that Dis could handle it well.Because... he was Dis.

And Dis gave him a choice: either stay at home as an ordinary person, or have the chance to breathe free air outside.

So, his family should be able to continue living peacefully in Roja City, while he could start to explore the "taboos" that belonged to his grandfather, which he couldn't touch at home, once he arrived in Wien.

Karun actually knew that despite thinking of himself as an ordinary person, he possessed some special abilities that objectively existed.

In Puerh's words, this was the manifestation of the power of the evil gods.

But Karun firmly believed that he had no connection with those "gods". As for the ability to make the dead sit up, did it mean... a talent?

An overflow of talent caused by his "special experience"?

Puerh once said something that was immediately denied, that unless he was someone who had died and come back to life, he had an "empathy" ability towards the "dead".

And in the early myths of the Order of the Gods, it was recorded that the God of Order was awakened by the God of Light. Although the book "The Light of Order" has been modified and the role of the God of Light has been removed, the record of the God of Order "awakening" is still preserved.

The God of Order had no childhood, unlike other true gods who had stories from their childhood. He seemed to have suddenly appeared in this world and stood at a very high position.

The Order of the Gods was established by the God of Order. After more than one epoch of development, it must have had more filling, enrichment, and improvement, but the standard ability of the judges was to "awaken" the dead bodies.

It can also be said that the foundation of the "magic" under the belief of the Order of the Gods, the most primitive line, must have been set and left by the God of Order himself, and it must have been the "ability" most suitable for the God of Order himself.

Karun didn't believe in anything like the "chosen one", the "son of destiny", or the "descent of the evil gods".

He was still an ordinary person, a person who probably had some similarities with the God of Order in some aspects, so he would be more compatible with the belief system of the Order of the Gods.

To embark on this path, the threshold was purification.

In Roja City, in the Inmoleis family, he wouldn't have this opportunity, and Dis wouldn't give him this opportunity either.

To Wien.

Only when he arrived in Wien, could he truly explore and step into the real wonders of this world.

"There's water in the bag," Karun reminded them, "if anyone is thirsty, feel free to drink it, and there's also juice."

"Is anyone thirsty?" Uni asked on behalf of the children.

The children shook their heads.

The hearse drove into the suburbs, and the road conditions began to deteriorate. Fortunately, the car was spacious, and with the rare sunny day after continuous rainy days, the air was fresh and outside seemed to have just been washed, giving people a comfortable feeling.

"There's a circus over there," Lunt shouted.Karun turned his head and saw a big circus tent set up there, with many small tents outside, but the two should not be related.

If a circus is going to perform here, it will definitely attract a lot of people, so some small vendors will also come over to do business, especially the fortune-telling, theft, and prostitute groups, who can only find suitable customers where there are many people.

"It doesn't look like it's been set up yet. Even if there is a performance, it should be at night. We can come and see it at night," Karun said.

"Yay!" Lunt cheered, and Mina and the others were also very happy.

Children have always been powerless against circus performances.

The picnic spot Karun chose is about five or six kilometers away from the circus venue, by a small river. Although it is winter, the scenery here is still exquisite.

Unlike the suburban area in the other direction, which has been surrounded by many factories, this suburban area is developing towards the future city expansion residential area. Many wealthy families in Roja City have built mansions here.

Alfred had been waiting here for a long time. Strictly speaking, this place belongs to a baron's private property. Although he hasn't done any development, he still needs to make arrangements if he wants to play.

In addition, in order to let his young master play quietly, Alfred needs to come early to clear the field.

Karun parked the car on the side of the road, took a look at the small road, and finally drove a distance down the slope, making way for the small road.

There was a middle-aged man next to Alfred holding a horse. He was not tall, but had a sense of superiority on his face.

"Alfred, your friend's car is really high-end. If I'm not mistaken, this is a hearse, right? Hahaha, is he bringing a group of corpses to picnic? How interesting."

"Hahaha!"

Alfred also laughed, then grabbed the man's hair and pressed it hard. The man's face was buried directly in the horse dung just pulled out by his chestnut-colored horse.

"Listen, he is my master. I don't want to ruin my master's mood today. Otherwise, I will twist your head off and throw it directly into this river to feed the fish. Don't forget who helped you pay off your debts and who helped you get out of jail as a financial fraud. I can make you look like a person, and I can also turn you back into a dog!"

After speaking, Alfred let go of his hand and walked to the river to take out a piece of soap and wash his hands carefully.

The baron raised his head and looked at Alfred with some fear.

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The baron immediately got on his horse and ran away.

Karun walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Alfred replied, "He said Miss Eunice is very beautiful."

"Huh? Isn't that a fact?""It's true, but he has no right to say that in front of me. You and the woman next to you are absolutely sacred and great in my heart. I will not allow any desecration."

"Hmm."

Karun turned around and waved to Puerh to bring the children over.

The barbecue grill was set up, and the charcoal was ready. Alfred was grilling the meat instead of Karun, while Minalunte and the others gathered around Alfred, waiting to eat.

Karun and Puerh sat on a slope a little further away, where they could see the shimmering waves on the river.

"Is your yard like this too?" Karun asked.

"Yes, it's just as beautiful as here."

"What about the buildings?" Karun asked.

"There's a four-story main house where the family and servants live. There's an auditorium to the east and an old castle to the west, which belongs to the ancestral home. Except for ritual activities, no one usually lives there."

"And there's an auditorium too?"

"Yes, my father told me that a hundred years ago, a great-aunt Zeng loved to watch operas but didn't like going to the city's opera house. So she had someone build an auditorium at home and specially invited opera troupes to perform there."

"Really extravagant," Karun said.

But could that great-aunt Zeng be Puerh?

Looking at how even as a cat it still had to have a cup of coffee while eating squirrel and cinnamon fish, it was a person who could really do such things.

"Yes, but although it's still cleaned now, in my memory, it's rarely used."

"Uh-huh."

Karun leaned back slightly, with his hands behind him, trying to make himself more comfortable.

"I haven't lived in such a big house before, and I'm a little looking forward to it."

"In fact, there's only one room to sleep in, and it's not much different whether it's big or small.

In the future, when you get tired of it, we can move to York City, or move back to Rulan, or even move back to Mingke Street.

We're still young now, but we'll be able to make our own decisions in the future, won't we?"

The requirements given by his grandfather, father, and mother were for Karun to return to Wein with them, which Puerh could not change and Karun accepted; but Puerh knew that a man living in a woman's house would definitely have some doubts in his heart; she couldn't change it, she could only comfort him.

When you're in love, you should tidy yourself up a bit and, without deception, show your best and even slightly theatrical side to the other person, just like a gorilla grabbing two handfuls of dry leaves and beating its chest while calling out for a mate; but when the relationship is established, you should gradually reveal your true self.

For example, being good at cooking, having fun, being meticulous with money, or being extravagant with spending, of course, being lustful is not a flaw.

For example, when Karun suggested a picnic this time, he came in a hearse because there were many people and other cars were inconvenient, and the hearse happened to be spacious enough to fit everyone; he didn't mind showing his "hearse fetish" in front of Puerh, because his family did run a funeral home, which might not be presentable in front of real "nobles," but there was no need to hide it; he also didn't mind showing his desire to live in a "great mansion" in front of Puerh, because he had lived two lives and had never lived in one, and he really wanted to experience it.The period between establishing a relationship and getting married is a time for emotional adjustment. During this time, it is important to show your true self and see if the other person can adapt and tolerate your flaws. Of course, this doesn't mean being careless. If there are existing problems that cannot be tolerated, you can say "I'll change in the future." Otherwise, if you always hide your flaws, once they are exposed after marriage, it can lead to big problems without any preparation or buffer. Conversely, even if you keep "pretending," married life won't be comfortable.

Fortunately, Yunis doesn't have the bad habits of a spoiled brat. She is very smart, extremely smart. Although her emotions are a bit immature due to the blank in her past, she learns quickly.

Sometimes, as a "rhythm control master," Karun can clearly perceive Yunis consciously cooperating with his rhythm.

This love affair is like a spotlight, with a top-notch sea king and a veteran green tea dancing the tango. But everyone didn't have a "scum" past.

"In this life, we must experience what we need to experience," Karun looked at Yunis, "Do you have any ideas about the future?"

"Now?"

"I mean, if I didn't appear, what were your original thoughts?"

"But you have appeared," Yunis said.

This is not a sweet talk. Karun heard the meaning behind it. Without himself, there would be other people. But speaking directly would easily spoil the atmosphere.

Although they are objects of a marriage alliance, they have always pretended to be destined by fate.

Yunis's father is not the eldest son in the family and was not the first heir to the family head. So he was able to have a free love affair and marry Mrs. Jenny, a woman who did not belong to that circle. But later, there were some accidents, and the two older brothers could not inherit the position of family head, so Yunis's father became the head of the family. In Yunis's generation, her marriage could not be free.

"What other ideas do you have, hobbies and interests?" Karun asked, "Art? Traveling, painting, and so on?"

"If it's these things, we can still continue in the future, right? Moreover, I think if you focus too much on your goals, life will become very tiring."

Karun smiled slightly and said, "You really have an open mind."

"What about you, Karun? What did you originally want to do?" Yunis added with a smile, "Before you met me."

Karun looked thoughtful. In his past life, he had been studying hard since he became an adult and had been working hard to start a business after graduation. His life was like a gear, constantly pushing himself to keep turning. It was really tiring, but he didn't feel it was hard because in this state of being a gear, he could produce a certain kind of pleasure. But in this life... "I originally wanted to go to college, choose a major, find a decent job with a good income after graduation, save some money, and then do some investment, so that I can achieve financial freedom in this stage of my needs.""And then?"

"And then... I haven't thought about it."

"Shouldn't you be finding a girlfriend you like and building a happy family?"

Karun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"You haven't thought about it?" Yunes looked at Karun curiously. "My two brothers used to discuss what kind of sister-in-law they would find for me when they were in school."

"I really haven't thought about it. Maybe I'm not at the same stage as your brothers."

Yunes propped her chin on her hand and murmured, "But I think it's because your mental age is too old."

Karun changed the subject directly. "So, do you like studying psychology too?"

"I've read some books on the subject. I wouldn't call it studying, but I find observing and analyzing people interesting. Like, observing you."

"Observing me? Did you gain anything?"

"The gain is that I feel like you've already seen through me a long time ago."

"Hahaha..."

Both of them laughed.

Mina stood up with a skewer of meat and walked towards her brother.

As Karun laughed, he naturally reached out to touch Yunes' hair, and Yunes naturally rested her head on Karun's knee.

Mina walked back with a skewer of meat.

The two of them maintained this posture and remained still for a long time.

...

At dusk, the hearse arrived outside the circus camp. There were a lot of people, but fortunately, there was plenty of space to park.

After getting out of the car, Karun led everyone towards the big tent of the circus. Along the way, many vendors were selling various goods.

Alfred walked at the back, guarding against the children getting lost in the crowd.

Outside a small tent that attracted people's attention, a husband was selling some divination props. The sign hanging outside the tent claimed that they were blessed by a certain god of a certain cult.

Business was not good, so his eyes kept scanning the crowd, looking for an easy target to steal from. Unfortunately, perhaps because his fellow clan members had been too ruthless in similar activities in recent years, the tourists who came to watch the circus were all alert, despite the smiles on their faces.

Fortunately, his wife had already taken an order inside the tent.

Inside the small tent:

"Just stand still, I'll lie down for a while."

"Okay, customer, you're really kind." The woman smiled and held a coin. "Are you looking for a sense of home?"

"I'm looking for the feeling of my childhood." Lasma answered.

"Then you're looking for the feeling of home." The woman insisted.

"Yes, that's right." Lasma nodded, then smiled. "My mother did the same job as you, and she supported me when I was young."

The woman silently put a bill back next to Lasma's head.

"What does that mean?" Lasma asked."Guests who come home, of course, get discounts; shh, don't let my husband know, but it doesn't matter, you gave more than enough, he won't notice anyway."

"I don't have a father," Rasmar said.

If it weren't for her father passing away when she was still a baby, her mother wouldn't have struggled so hard to raise her.

The woman licked her lips and whispered in Rasmar's ear, "Actually, I wish I didn't have a husband either."

"Hehehe, is that a prayer?" Rasmar asked.

The woman shrugged and laughed, "Will God hear it?"

"Yes," Rasmar replied.

With that, Rasmar closed her eyes and placed her hands on her lower abdomen.

The woman moved away and didn't disturb the "wanderer" resting.

Rasmar's world turned gray and white again.

"Hmm? Tsk tsk tsk, there's a little demon with the charm demon eye. His eyes would make a nice and delicate pendant. Huh? There's more than one. Hehe, the owner of this circus is actually a seductive demon."

"Why is it taking so long? Isn't it over yet? You'll have to pay extra for overtime," the husband lifted the curtain and walked into the small tent.

Rasmar slowly sat up and smiled, "It's over."

The husband fell to the ground and died.
