“Help? Is my luck a result of someone helping me?”
Uchiha’s eyes widened to the point where they seemed bigger than a cow’s.
He would understand if he got help for other things.
How could someone help him with something like boosting his luck?
Who would be this powerful?
“No wonder, so that’s what happened.”
“The person above is as quick-witted as me.”
“Dr. Chen, I understand what’s going on.”
“We’re all from the same hometown.”
“Hahaha, hello, fellow villagers.”
Uchiha was dumbfounded, but some of the viewers seemed to have an answer.
However, most of the viewers were still as blurred as Uchiha.
Looking at the puzzled comments on his screen, Chen Yu smiled faintly.
The viewers in his live broadcast room were sure amazing.
Their imagination and analytical abilities were not to be underestimated.
He had only given a cryptic answer, and so many people had already guessed it.
But, of course, they could only guess a little part of the whole truth.
“Chat, who can tell me what’s going on?”
The more Uchiha read the chat, the more confused he became. In a moment of desperation, he spoke in his hometown dialect.
“Try to recall what your grandparents did the most before they passed away,” Chen Yu said.
“What did they do the most?”
Uchiha fell into deep thought.
“Eat, sleep, and… pray!”
Uchiha replied quickly, “They prayed. The two elders burn incense three times a day, and they don’t miss a single time.”
Speaking of this, Uchiha felt awkward.
When his grandparents were alive, their family had a shrine.
From the time Uchiha could remember, he could smell the scent of incense every day.
At first, it was still fine. The smell was quite pleasant.
However, he couldn’t bear it after smelling it every day for years.
His clothes and hair were also gradually contaminated with this smell.
As a result, children were unwilling to play with him.
They all claimed he had a strange smell about him.
When he was in kindergarten, many teachers would always ask him if something had happened at home.
Until today, whenever Uchiha smelled incense, he would subconsciously think of his childhood trauma.
“Your grandparents offered incense to pay respects to your local family guardians, right?” Chen Yu asked.
“Yes, yes, yes, those things.”
With a complicated expression, Uchiha said, “Almost every family in the northeast worships a family guardian.”
“Although they are called family guardians, they are actually wild animals.”
“Sometimes, 1 really don’t know what they’re thinking.”
“It’s fine if we worship Buha, the Jade Emperor, or some Grand Supreme Elder. Why would we worship a group of wild animals?”
“We worshipped common foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and other animals.”
“We ask them for good luck and blessings; isn’t this a joke?”
Uchiha couldn’t help but start complaining.
It would be fine if they worshipped the supreme-rulers and buddhas in the heavens.
After all, no one in the world has ever seen them manifest.
Perhaps they were really as powerful as the legends said.
But to worship a large group of common wild animals?
What was going on?
If these animals could really bless their families, the zoo would definitely be the first to make a fortune.
“Wait!”
Uchiha quickly asked, “Dr. Chen, are you telling me that my bad luck is because of them?”
“Before 1 answer your question, can you bring the altar that your grandparents worshipped and show the camera first?” Chen Yu asked with a smile.
“Um… 1’11 go look for it in the storage room.”
Among everyone in the family, only Uchiha’s grandparents believed in this stuff.
After the two elders passed away, his parents just kept the altar away.
If they didn’t throw it away, it should be in the storage room.
With that, Uchiha got up and left his computer.
As soon as Uchiha left, a large number of comments popped up in chat.
“Do you know why Northeasterners don’t eat wild animals?”
“I know this question. They couldn’t afford to offend the bigger ones, and they also couldn’t afford to offend the smaller ones.”
“Hahaha, exactly.”
“Humans are no match for Manchurian Tigers or wild bears. On the other hand, foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, and snakes are all family guardians. Do you dare to touch them?”
“To them, humans are the original wild game.”
“Speaking of which, Uchiha’s luck couldn’t have really been given by his family guardian, right?”
“Judging from his tone and expression, it’s obvious that he doesn’t believe in the existence of his family guardian. It’s already good enough that his family guardian didn’t mess with him. How could he give him a blessing?”
“Don’t worry about it. Just wait and see.”
Most of the comments came from viewers in the northeast.
First, they talked about the origins of the five guardian clans.
Then, the discussion focused on whether his family guardian gave Uchiha’s heaven-defying luck or not.
Logically speaking, such heaven-defying and ridiculous luck might not manifest in one in a million.
There must be some special reason behind it that caused his luck to be so good.
If someone didn’t change his fate, it must have been because his ancestors had accumulated virtue and were blessed.
However, Chen Yu mentioned family guardians, and everyone couldn’t help but think in this direction.
The five family guardians: Fox, Weasel, Hedgehog, Snake, and Mouse
Almost all the elderly and children in the northeast knew about it.
Even now, many people still worship them at home.
If anyone went to the streets of the northeast and asked the elderly about the family guardians’ deeds and legends, it would be too long a story to listen to in one sitting.
Furthermore, they would even tell you in detail that not only were the five clans of family guardians powerful, but they also had bad tempers.
One had to be careful when worshipping them.
Three offerings a day, and no less.
On New Year’s Day, there must be no shortage of wine, meat, fruits, and cigarettes.
Yeah, the family guardians loved cigarettes.
About ten minutes later, Uchiha returned to his computer with his face covered in dust.
He was holding a shrine that was half the height of a person in his hand.
There were a few long yellow papers stuck inside.
Due to the passage of time, the words on it were already blurry.
The viewers tried their best to read the words, but they couldn’t see what was written on them.
“Dr. Chen, this is the shrine that my grandparents worshipped when they were alive.”
“As for what it is, I’m not too sure either. It seems to be a fox.”
Uchiha placed the shrine on the computer chair and wiped the sweat off his head.
Immediately after, Chen Yu carefully looked at this altar.
“Dr. Chen, can you tell me now? Did they give me the luck 1 have?”
Hearing this, Chen Yu didn’t directly answer. Instead, he asked about another matter.
“After your grandparents passed away, one day, your relatives came to your house as guests. Did you say a few words that made your relatives very unhappy?”
Uchiha thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes, I think that’s what happened.”
The relatives said that Uchiha’s grandparents had different family guardians than the rest of them.
They worshipped a guardian with very high seniority.
If their family continued worshipping this family guardian, they would definitely be blessed with good luck.
Thinking of the choking smoke again, he couldn’t help but retort that family guardians were nothing but a myth.
He claimed that if he could be lucky for the rest of his life, only then would he believe family guardians existed.
At that time, Uchiha was only eight years old, but he was already somewhat rebellious.
No matter what his relatives said, he would retort with the opposite..
