Chapter 138: Koi Warning
Ye Wanxi met old master Bai's expectant gaze, and smiled slightly: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think these red, green, and green fish are so beautiful and festive."
Mr. Bai:;……
Butler: ;……
Gao Min subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her face, and couldn't bear to look directly at her, for fear that the host would think Ye Wanxi was too unreliable and drive her out in a fit of anger.
;The fish here have been raised for a long time, right?
When Mr. Bai heard Ye Wanxi's question, he immediately looked at the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "These fish have been raised since the old man and his wife moved into this house. It must have been more than ten years, right?" .
;so long? Gao Min exclaimed, and realized that everyone was staring at him before realizing his gaffe, and said with a sneer, "Can this kind of fish live so long?"
"Ki carp, like turtles, are long-lived animals. If they are kept well, they can live for decades without any problem." Ye Wanxi paused, and then asked unintentionally, "Did the fish die here in the ten years since moving here?"
This time there was no need for Mr. Bai to signal, the old housekeeper took the initiative to answer the question: "Yes." But the number is not many, about five or six died.
"It took more than ten years to raise five or six people to death, which is already very hard work." Gao Min muttered in a low voice, "If this is served on the table, five or six pieces won't be enough for me to eat for a day."
Gao Min deliberately lowered her voice when she said these words, only Ye Wanxi who was closest to her could hear clearly.
Ye Wanxi laughed: "Do you still remember when you died?"
;This... The old housekeeper looked at the old man inquiringly, seeing that he didn't express anything, so he told the truth after thinking about it. I can't remember it for a while.
; Did he die suddenly, or was he already sick?
; Died suddenly, without any warning, and did not appear to be ill.
Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked something that made everyone present change their faces: "Before Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai had an accident, did the koi in this pond change?"
Suddenly heard about his son and daughter-in-law,
Old Man Bai's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the cane tightened subconsciously.
Thinking about the meaning of Ye Wanxi's words again, the expression on her face became more and more gloomy: "If you think about it carefully, is it really as Miss Ye said, what happened?"
The old butler was not stupid, he quickly realized the importance of this matter, frowned and pondered, but he didn't want to think of anything more and more anxious, remembering that his forehead was sweating.
"Don't worry, think slowly, you can always think of it."
Ye Wanxi's soft tone was mixed with the rustling sound of the bamboo grove not far away being sealed and the sound of gurgling water in the pool.
The old housekeeper's feverish head gradually calmed down because of anxiety, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Yes!" some.
;Say it.
"About one morning one month before Mrs. and Mrs.'s accident, three fish suddenly floated up in this pond, and I don't know when they died, so they turned their stomachs like that. The aunt in charge of cleaning saw it, and hurriedly caught the fish and came to me and asked me what to do.
"I thought that this koi carp is an auspicious fish anyway, so I can't eat it casually." And it turns its stomach for no reason, who knows if it has some kind of disease, and if people eat it, it will not be very good. So I asked my aunt to go back and find a place to bury it, and changed the water in the pool again.
Ye Wanxi's eyes shivered slightly: "Are you sure it's three?"
;Yes, I'm sure. Two big ones and one small one.
Ye Wanxi glanced at old man Bai, who thought of something in a daze, and his face turned pale.
Gao Min didn't know what charade they were playing, so she nudged Ye Wanxi lightly with her elbow, and asked curiously: "Is this koi related to the death of Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai?"
; It's not an association, it's a warning.
;Alert?
;Most people raise koi for good luck. Most of the selected koi are bright in color, which makes people feel happy at a glance. Most of the koi in the Bai family's pond are three-color koi, with the meaning of dragon and phoenix intertwined, evil spirits go away, and Bai Ruisheng, which can stabilize the house and attract wealth and safety.
If such a koi dies due to climate change, not being used to eating, or other reasons, as long as it is fished out as soon as possible after it dies, and an equal number of new fry are added, it will be fine. But if there is no reason for sudden death, it is often accompanied by a warning to the owner. Warn the owner to be careful in everything in the next month, ranging from financial loss to illness, to serious... life-threatening.
Old man Bai's figure flickered, and the old housekeeper hurriedly helped him up when he saw this.
Ye Wanxi and the two were also taken aback: "Are you okay?"
;fine. The old man Bai waved his hand and regretted, "I hurt them, if only I could pay more attention at that time..."
;It has nothing to do with you. The koi in this pond can only serve as a warning. Whether it can be avoided or how to avoid it is not so easy. And if it weren't for people who have done some research on this, they wouldn't have really noticed this.
Ye Wanxi looked around thoughtfully as she said: "Your house must have been specially arranged by someone, right?"
Old Man Bai was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "This house was resold to me by a friend of mine. It is said that the most famous master in the vicinity was invited to help with the decoration. If there were not some accidents in his family, he would not be in a hurry to resell the house. Is there something wrong with the layout here?
;No problem, your friend didn't lie to you, the house is well furnished. Whether it's the two stone lions outside the door, the small bamboo forest in the southwest corner, or the courtyard where the running water is introduced into the pool, they are all very good. Every aspect is very particular, in line with the way of yin and yang and gossip, and it is endless. But……
Mr. Bai's heart trembled, and he said a little nervously: "But what?"
However, the bamboo forest is planted in the southwest corner, because the southwest belongs to fire, which is in harmony with the yin energy of bamboo, implying rising steadily. But one thing needs to be noted, the bamboo should not be too high to block the view from the door, which will easily block the wealth and luck outside.
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, the old housekeeper hurriedly said: "I will have someone trim it in a while, and I will pay more attention to it in the future. Is there anything else that needs attention?"
; Temporarily gone. If it's convenient, let's take a look at Young Master Bai's room first?
;Okay, this way please. Old Master Bai hastily got out of the way and let Ye Wanxi go ahead.
After crossing the wooden bridge beside the koi pond, old man Bai suddenly remembered something, and said to the housekeeper with a livid face: "You just said that another fish died in this pond half a month ago, could it be..." ;…
