Rent Affair

Chapter 21 Continuation of Life (1)

Xiaoying and I were stunned, turned our heads to look behind the green bull ribs flying out, and saw a person standing quietly on the green bull and white bone mountain, with a white shirt and white boots, thin as a bone, and the white shirt was swaying in the wind , the white boots were shiny as if spotless, this man had a handsome face, but his complexion was a little pale, a pair of cold eyes looked down on me and Xiaoying standing under him like a eagle, very cold.

This man in white shirt has never met before, but when I saw that this man can hide his breath, he is also a high-level person. For a moment, the two of us dared not move rashly. Our eyes met. The two are like bottom food, invisible to the eye.

"Where are you from?" I asked.

The white shirted man looked me up and down, frowned, tapped his bone with his left foot, his figure became feathered, fluttered down, and stood in front of me in a few breaths, and said indifferently, "Where did you come from?"

I was startled, why did I get asked back by him when I asked him?

"He came out of his mother's womb, of course!" Xiaoying caught a glimpse of me in a daze, worried about what the white-clothed man was saying, and forced a smile.

The white-clothed man turned his head, turned his eyes to Xiaoying, and smiled calmly, "I didn't realize there was a fairy! But how do you know that he came from a mother's womb? Could it be that you witnessed it with your own eyes?"

Xiaoying spoke in silence, her eyes dodged, seeing the pair of white-clothed men staring at him coldly, she nodded her head in a panic and said without hesitation, "This... this..."

I don't know the meaning of the white shirt man's words, but seeing Xiaoying lose his composure like this, I can know that the words are directly related to something that cannot be said about me, which makes Xiaoying show such unprecedented panic.

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, laughed, and seemed to have no intention of continuing, and said coldly, "If I don't kill that monster, you must be the ones who die!"

What the white-clothed man said is true, the magic of that monster to transform into an illusion is indeed profound, but I was injured by the air wave rushing out of my body just now, and it was out of its original shape, and there is no need for the man in front of me to barge in again. It makes me suspicious to say that, but the man in front of me is definitely not an idle person, so he should not be easily offended.

The man in the white shirt curled up a playful smile and said, "One day, you and I will meet again!" Before he finished his words, his figure swayed past, and he disappeared in front of his eyes.

Xiaoying saw the man in the white shirt leaving without hesitation, and the panic in her eyes calmed down a little.

I heard the conversation between the two just now, and I asked, "The man just said that I wasn't born from a mother's womb. What happened?"

In my impression, I have a mother. Although I have never seen her since I was born, my grandma said that my father was an alcoholic. When he was drunk, he beat my mother and beat her away abruptly. My dad fell after drinking, hit his head on the table, and died too.I have never met my two close relatives, and my grandma never mentioned it, but when the man in white shirt said it, I was eager to know the ins and outs of this matter.

Xiaoying frowned, covered her ears tightly, shook her head constantly, and muttered, "Don't ask any more! Don't ask any more..." She stepped on the ground and flew out of the cave.

I hurriedly circulated the heat in my body to keep up with her, the night was getting thinner, a ray of light could be seen in the sky shining from the mountain depression, the little shadow flew for a long time before landing on the ground, but she didn't want to land, she curled up and turned her head Buried in his knees and cried.

When I saw her cry, I didn't know what to say for a while, so I stood silently behind her.

The rising orange-red sun made the nearby clouds red, and the morning glow covered the sky in an instant, Xiaoying's crying gradually weakened, and when she raised her head, the pear blossoms on her pink cheeks and peach face were covered with rain, which made her feel compassionate, and she sobbed Said, "It's not that I don't say a lot of things, but that I can't tell you..." She wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, "If you want to know, I can tell you, but you and I will never talk about it." See you again!" Before the voice fell, the crying sounded again, but the crying sound became more and more sad and desolate.

I was taken aback by what I said, do I really want to see Xiaoying forever just to know about this matter?

"I don't want to know! I don't want to miss you!" I replied.

Xiaoying raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and looked at me. She threw herself into my arms, wrapped her hands around my neck tightly, and covered my mouth with two thin lips. What should be done.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Xiaoying moved her lips away, buried her head deeply in my shoulder, and said softly, "Sometimes as long as you say a word, I can rush to your arms regardless of everything, I can do any worldly gossip Ignore all of them!"

What I said warmed my heart, and I hugged her tightly, fearing that if I let go, she would leave me, "I won't let you get hurt a little bit!"

There was a burst of firecrackers and drums in Qingniu Village, and it was very lively for a while. Xiaoying looked up at me with a smile in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "It seems that those outsiders are going to enter the cave."

"It doesn't matter whether he has holes or not, as long as I have you!" I rubbed the tip of my spoiled nose against Xiaoying's forehead, and replied softly.

"It's time to go! If you don't go anymore, I'm afraid it won't be too late to get rid of the Yin Gu on your body!" Xiaoying kissed my side face, let go of my neck, turned around and walked towards the village, I followed behind her, watching Her slender and graceful back is inconceivable.

When the two of us returned to Qingniu Village, the entrance of the village was full of firecrackers and confetti, and everyone in the village ran to the cow-herding hill to join in the fun. I wanted to go back and take a look at Xiaoyue. The child left an indelible impression in my heart. Xiaoying held my arm, leaned her head on my shoulder, and said that she would go wherever I went. Although these love words are not earth-shattering, nor ambiguous and sweet, they are It seems to be a melting light in the twelfth lunar month of winter, warming the frozen world.

The two of us walked in front of the small earthen house. I stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times. I didn't hear anyone answer for a long time. I pushed it and saw that the door was half-closed. With a little effort, it opened with a "squeak" I went into the courtyard and called for Xiaoyue, but there was still no answer. I panicked, with a vague premonition, and hurriedly rushed into the small earthen hut.

I saw Xiaoyue lying on the kang with a towel on her forehead, her little face was pale, and her bright eyes were dimmed. Xiaoyue's aunt held her hand tightly and cried bitterly. In the midst of grief, naturally all sounds are deaf.

"How did Xiaoyue become like this?" Xiaoying frowned and asked with concern.

Xiaoyue's aunt realized that someone had entered the room when she heard the voice, she turned her head dully, and when she saw it was us, her eyes widened, she stood up and chased us away, "Go! Don't Come into our house! If it weren't for you two, my Xiaoyue wouldn't be like this!"

As soon as I heard this, I knew in my heart that Xiaoyue's weakness was due to Huzi's kick, and Xiaoyue's aunt attributed all this to me and Xiaoying. Huzi would not seek revenge in this small earthen house, thinking about it, he blamed himself for a while.

"Mother, don't blame Uncle...Uncle is a good man!" Xiaoyue opened her mouth and said in a very soft voice.

Seeing Xiaoyue opened her mouth to speak, Xiaoyue's aunt couldn't stop shouting, so she slumped on the ground and began to cry, complaining, "God! What did I do in my previous life, why did you call me like this? "

Xiaoying was afraid that she would cry too much and her body would collapse again, so she wanted to help her up, but just as she stretched out her hand, Xiaoyue's aunt pushed Xiaoying away, and said in disgust, "I don't need you to pretend to be good..."

I pulled Xiaoying, winked at her, and asked her to go to the yard in a low voice. Xiaoying nodded and followed me to the yard. I turned around and saw that Xiaoyue's aunt did not follow, and said "I want to save the child Xiaoyue, is there any way?"

Although I only met Xiaoyue once, I couldn't bear to watch such a young life die in front of my eyes. What's more, this matter has an inseparable relationship with the two of us, so I couldn't just ignore it.

Xiaoying understood my thoughts, frowned, groaned, and said slowly, "Before that the walking monk used to make a face for Xiaoying, and he also said that only gods can save Xiaoyue, so how can gods be the ones who can save me? I found it, it seems..." Xiaoying shook her head before finishing her sentence, and sighed softly.

"Can... let her live a little longer?"

I paused and said, Xiaoyue won't live long, maybe a day is also a spiritual support for her aunt, so that she won't collapse.

Xiaoying glanced at me and saw that my attitude was firm. Speaking of Taoism, there is a way to extend life, but it can only extend one or two years of life, but it is extremely dangerous, and if you are careless, you will hurt people and shorten your life.

I saw that there was a way to make Xiaoyue live a day or two longer, so I was busy asking what it was.

Xiaoying said that she had never learned this method before, only Chen Changan used it.

"Chen Chang'an used it?" I was surprised, muttering to myself, he is so cold-blooded, how could he use such a dangerous method to save others' lives?
Xiaoying nodded, and said slowly, that year when Chen Changan traveled in the world, it was a time of famine, starvation was everywhere, and he was miserable. He walked on a dirt road in the country, and weeds grew luxuriantly on the side of the road, up to his waist Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the grass and grabbed Chen Changan's ankle. He was not strong enough, but he was startled. It is a woman's hand.

Chen Chang'an squatted down and brushed aside the weeds, seeing this woman with a pink face and peach cheeks, a beautiful nose and red lips, bright eyes and white teeth, just like a fairy in a painting coming to the world, Chen Chang'an was momentarily absent-minded.

"I'm hungry..." The woman's voice fell to the ground as softly as a feather.

Chen Chang'an hastily took out the dry food from the bag and handed it up. When the woman saw the dry food, she wanted to raise her hand to take it, but she hadn't eaten for a long time and was weak and weak. She couldn't lift it up even though she moved her hands. Chen Chang'an stepped forward to help the woman up. Put the dry food into the woman's mouth, and worried that the food would be too dry, so she took off the water bottle and fed the water gently.
