Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 217
On the stone arch bridge.

When a large bag of bait worth nearly a hundred gold coins was swayed to the bottom, Liu Xiaowen was out of breath, and a few tiny beads of sweat oozed from her small Qiong nose. She came out for almost a whole afternoon, so she was a little tired.

She naturally held the hem of Liu Xi's arm with both hands, shook it slightly, and said sweetly:

"Brother, let's go back."

However, she did not forget the last words her brother said to her mother when she came out.

Come to think of it, after returning home, brother and mother will spread the matter out, right?

Of course, she herself would most likely be avoided...

"Okay, let's go back."

Liu Xi smiled and said.

While speaking, the two brothers and sisters were about to walk down the huge stone arch bridge.

Suddenly.

Liu Xi's figure suddenly stopped, and Liu Xiaowen, who was holding his forearm with both hands, could feel that his body became extremely stiff in an instant.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Puzzled, Liu Xiaowen asked aloud.

However, Liu Xi didn't seem to hear her voice, and stared fixedly at the Huaqing Pool on the other side of the bridge.

Just now, he suddenly noticed a gaze staring at him that made him feel cold all over his body, but when he swept his gaze over there, he only caught a glimpse of a sturdy figure in ragged clothes slowly turning around. turn around.

It was just a blink of an eye, and then it disappeared from his sight.

That is……

The thoughts in my mind turned rapidly, and the scenes I experienced in the past few days flashed in the back of my mind.

After racking his brains, he frowned.

Two days ago, on a night when the moon was dim and the stars were not visible, on the Canaan Cruise No. [-] passenger ship, others stood on the deck of the sky-level cabin and saw the middle-aged male corpse floating on the Canaan River , quietly overlapping with the figure just now.

The same torn clothes, the same pale skin under the torn clothes, and very similar body shapes...

Just, how is this possible? !
Liu Xi's eyes were full of disbelief.

How could a corpse that had been floating for a long time in a big river like the Canaan River appear in the same place as him two days later! ! !
But he remembered that when he saw the corpse, its floating direction was opposite to the passenger ship's driving direction!

What's more, this time the "middle-aged male corpse" is not floating creepily on the water, but appears alive in front of our eyes!
Turn around and disappear.

moving!

Could it be that the corpse... no, that person, wasn't completely dead at the time?When passing by a passenger ship, I got on the ship unknowingly, and no one found out when I got off the ship at the end? !

Think about this.

Liu Xi was terrified and shuddered as she thought carefully.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way to explain why he can still see that dead... that person in Hechuan City.

However, having said that, here comes the question again, why is that person staring at him here? !
Coincidence or...

汩~
Swallowing his saliva, Liu Xi didn't dare to continue thinking.

However, even so, the clothes on his back were already wet with cold sweat at this moment.

He didn't dare to say anything else, just because the person was in his line of sight, he turned around and disappeared. Just because of this, he guessed that if he didn't have dazzle, his strength must be unfathomable!
At least not the existence he can provoke now!
The guard next to Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying, the "weakest of the ancient clan", and the level of strength in the Douhuang period, are they not enough to provoke him at this stage?
But the feeling that that person gave him was many times stronger than Ling Ying's!
Although he has not seen Ling Ying's full attack so far...

"Brother, are you okay?"

In a trance, the voice of her younger sister Liu Xiaowen came into her ears, her right forearm was being shaken violently by her, Liu Xi slowly came back to her senses, quite dumbfounded, raised her left hand to touch her soft bun, and said softly , and then took the other party's little hand and said:
"Let's go, let's go back quickly!"

After saying that, he took a step forward, led Liu Xiaowen away from the bridge, and walked straight towards the family mansion.

He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

That kind of feeling like a light on the back is very heart-palpiating!
-

About half an hour later.

In the depths of Liu's mansion.

Inside the house.

Liu Xi and Aunt Sun avoided Liu Xiaowen and sat opposite each other.

On the table between the two of them, a piece of paper with more than half of the content lying there quietly.

"Since my aunt has read the contents of this paper carefully, she must be clear that I already know the details about your remarriage. Therefore, there is no need to hide some things, because there is really no need, just It’s just a waste of time and words!”

Looking at Aunt Sun who was pretending to be calm, Liu Xi said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his right index finger, and heavily tapped the place where the name "Ottodang" was written on the paper, then smiled faintly at Aunt Sun, and said:
"Let's get straight to the point, I think you should understand what I mean, Auntie."

Hearing this, Aunt Sun's eyes followed Liu Xi's fingers, and when the name Ottodang came into view, her face turned pale slightly, and her lips covered in red rouge trembled slightly.

"Xi...Xi'er..."

Before Aunt Sun spoke, Liu Xi took a deep breath, and while she was speechless, she interrupted with a slight frown:

"Auntie, I told you before, between you and me, it's better to just call me by my name."

The words were interrupted. Under the table, Aunt Sun's hands on her lap were clenched together awkwardly, her eyes and gaze slightly lowered, and she said:

"Liu...Liu Xi, it's been five years since your father passed away..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xi saw that he was still unwilling to get to the main point for a while, so he waved his hand and interrupted him, and he simply said bluntly:
"Auntie, you have been widowed for several years, and you want to remarry and leave the Liu family. I can understand it. Marriage, funeral, and marriage are just human nature. You have mentioned it to the patriarch, and the patriarch has no objection, but you absolutely shouldn't." , The place I found for myself was the Otto family in Wuyang City! And when I told the patriarch about the remarriage, I chose to hide this fact!

Auntie, you have been married to the Liu family for ten years. I don't believe you don't know that the Otto family and our Liu family have had grievances for generations!
Fortunately, I didn't mention the details to the patriarch here, and the high-level family didn't understand it carefully, otherwise, what happened to you will definitely affect Xiaowen's life in the clan in the future!

Could it be that Auntie, have you really never considered for Xiaowen?If you really got your wish and married into the Otto family, you would feel comfortable getting your wish, but what about Xiaowen?What will happen to her in the clan?How will the tribe view her?What if the Otto family 'makes a fuss' about your relationship with Xiaowen in the future? !

Haven't you thought about these things! "

Say it.

What Liu Xi said was deafening in Aunt Sun's ears, and her face showed a look of distress.

But Liu Xi didn't wait for him to pretend to beg to speak out, and he directly made a conclusion about the remarriage and said:

"If you want to remarry, that's fine, but let's go to another place!"
