C242 pen holder (1/2)

However, I noticed a thin piece of wood on the table. It was about three inches long and one finger wide. It seemed to be very old. I asked, ”What is this thing?”

Zhao Jing said: ”This is the pen holder passed down from my ancestors, my grandmother gave me a present, although it is not of any use, but it is still very memorable.”

I thought it was just a piece of rotten wood, but it was painted and bent so that you could put your pen down, and it became what you would call a pen holder. However, such a common thing still gave me goosebumps. I didn't know why, but I felt very uncomfortable.

Zhao Jing replied: ”Why are you so interested in my brush holder? According to my grandmother, this piece of wood has a history, my grandfather really liked this treasure back then.”

Zhang Yu asked: Is this thing also a treasure? The first time I saw it, I felt that it was ordinary. It was just a piece of wood, what kind of treasure would that be? ”

Zhao Jing said: ”You do not know about this, this brush holder is my family's inheritance, and the legends about it are extremely mystical, I am just not willing to speak about it.”

Zhang Yu said: ”Then tell me, what is so precious about this thing?”

Zhao Jing said: ”Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. I'm still talking about it, it's meaningless. Besides, I'm going to take a shower, I don't have time to chat.” She picked up her toiletries and walked into the washroom. Soon, the sound of water could be heard.

Zhang Yu looked at me and said, ”You're not allowed to peek, okay? Just obediently stay here.”

I laughed involuntarily. ”Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to peek at her. She has locked the door so tightly, making such a loud noise when she closes the door.”

Zhang Yu laughed, and said: ”It's good that you know this, we are all very vigilant, two of us have even learnt female defense arts before, so we dared to let you in without thinking, and you don't have to act rashly, otherwise you will be in trouble.”

I helplessly said, ”Big Sis, stop messing around. I'm here to help you. Why are you so wary of me?”

Zhang Yu said, ”Men are not good people, furthermore, the ones we sleep in are all great beauties, so of course we have to be careful of you. After being classmates with you for a few years, I have a pretty good understanding of your temper.”

I suddenly felt a little hungry. ”I forgot to eat before I came. Do you have anything to eat?”

Zhang Yu rummaged through the cupboard, and only took out a box of noodles, and said: ”This is all I have, I'll make some for you, you can eat it, and I'll treat you to a good meal tomorrow.”

I wasn't too picky about the way she ate. I quickly ate her bowl of noodles and stared at the pen holder in a daze.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, ”Why are you so interested in this thing? Just why did it attract you?”

I nodded. ”You don't know. From the moment I entered, I had felt that there was something wrong with the pen holder. Although I couldn't say what it was, it carried with it a yin qi. It was extremely strange.”

Zhang Yu laughed: ”Are you trying to scare me again?”

Seeing that she was a little nervous, I suddenly laughed out loud. ”Of course I'm lying to you. I don't understand anything about this area, so how could I see through something like a yin qi?” Aren't you being too cowardly? ”
