Chapter 91 The Ghost Marriage (5)
"No, no, how come?" Zhu Xi hurriedly shook her head and said, "Then, who is she? Why does she look so similar to me?"

Wang Zijin also looked at Fei Xiao with inquiring eyes, hoping that he could explain the confusion in his heart.

"That's the charm that your resentment turned into, Zhuxi." Feixiao looked at the woman in red, "There are many trees in the mountains, and the aura is so heavy that you turn into a charm after you die, and forget that you are dead. After becoming a demon, Shanxin still maintains his appearance in life. If you go outside the mountain, you will be wiped out."

Zhuxi thought for a while, and her eyes became blurred, "Yes, I seem to remember it." After finishing speaking, she looked up at Zhao Shanren and said, "Daddy, do you know everything? That's why I want to go through the mountain The ghost marriage sent me out of this house?"

Zhao Shanren hugged his head and cried: "Zhuxi, don't blame daddy. You and your sister had an argument over trivial matters, but your sister killed you by mistake. I'm afraid you'll lose your sister's life again. I didn't report to the police, and went secretly with your sister. Hid your dead body." After that, he continued with a look of fear on his face, "I don't know, I don't know that you walked in front of us the next morning as if you were alive."

"This is really terrible, terrible! I can't take it anymore. You are dead, but you came back alive. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two years." Zhao Shanren wailed and sat paralyzed I can't get up from the ground.

After Zhuxi heard this, she looked at the wound on the forehead of the woman in red with confused eyes, "Is this what I looked like when I died?" She said and started to cry, "I remember everything, I really liked my sister's face at that time. I tried it on secretly, but my sister found out, and my forehead hit the corner of the table during the dispute, and I died just like that.” After she finished speaking, she looked at Fei Hong and said, “Young Master Hu, help me , what should I do?"

Fei Xiao glanced at the monster-like woman, only to see that her blue eyes were still fixed on Zhuyu who was fainting on the ground, but she was frightened by Fei Xiao's strength and did not dare to do anything wrong.Fei Xiao shook her head and said to Zhu Xi: "As long as you get rid of the resentment in your heart, you will be free."

"What, what do I resent?" Zhuxi said slowly, "I was born without a name, and my family called me 'bastard' at that time, because my mother was a servant and had no status." He smiled again, "When someone asked my name, I said I was called a 'bastard'. Later, I asked my husband to give me a name, but I still followed my sister."

She looked at Zhuyu who fell on the ground and cried: "I don't resent these, I don't resent, even if she killed me, the only thing I resent is what my mother left me before she died, she take it away too."

"What is that?" Wang Zijin came over and asked her, pressing on the wound.

"It's a pearl, such a beautiful pearl..." Zhuxi looked at Wang Zijin and replied.

"Pearl?" Wang Zijin was taken aback when he heard that, then turned to look at Fei Xiao, Zhu Xi's mother is a servant, how could there be such a precious thing?
What is that pearl?

"Zi Jin, are you alright?" Fei Xiao hurried over when she saw his wound.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Zijin looked at him suspiciously and said, "Do you know what the pearl she mentioned is?"

"I don't know." Fei Xiao leaned over and asked Zhu Xi, "Do you remember what a pearl looks like?"

"It's round and soft, but it can't be found after falling into the snow."

After hearing this, Fei Xiao smiled, seemed to understand, reached out her hand into the grass, seemed to grab something, and said to Zhu Xi after a while, "Stretch out your hand, I'll give you the pearl."

"Really?" Zhuxi stretched out her little white palm, spread it out, and waited for Feixiao to give her something.

Feixiao's long fingers loosened, and a handful of tiny rays of light shone down. Zhuxi only felt a chill in his palm, and several shining beads gathered in his palm.

"This, this is dew." She looked at the drops of water in her hand and tremblingly, her face changed accordingly.

"That's right, what your mother left you many years ago is probably just her tears, but you are too young to remember them as pearls."

Zhuxi looked at the Yelu in her hand, and tremblingly said: "Yes, yes... I said how could a poor mother leave me pearls? I have resented for many years because of this unreasonable thing."

After finishing speaking, she looked up to the sky and smiled: "Just because of these tears, after death, I still can't forget it and become a charm. How funny, how interesting!"

She laughed with tears, making her voice even more miserable.

The woman in red who had been standing next to Zhuyu slowly lowered her head at this time, with her waist slung, walked into the faint night mist, and walked straight towards the gate.

"How did she leave?" Wang Zijin asked Fei Xiao.

"The hatred in Zhuxi's heart is gone, so she will naturally disappear."

Zhuxi looked at the direction where the woman disappeared, and made a blessing to the two of them: "Thank you two sons, Zhuxi is leaving too."

"You, where are you going?" Wang Zijin asked anxiously, feeling that this girl was too pitiful, and thinking of what happened to her, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"I don't want to be promoted anymore. It's too hard to be a human being. I just want to be a ghost and live a carefree life in this verdant mountain." She bowed to the two of them again, "I hope the two young masters can find my The bones should be buried properly, this is Zhuxi's greatest wish."

"It's impossible for you to wander in the mountains like this." Fei Xiao persuaded after seeing her.

Zhuxi turned around and looked at the shadow of the distant mountain, and said with a smile: "When I was alive, I was not happy at all. After I died, I found the happiest and most peaceful time in my life. There are too many memories of me in this mountain."

In the dark mountain forest, in the bitter mountain wind, who is leading him to run wildly?And who is protecting himself with a warm embrace?

It was the happiest moment in her life that she was valued and carefully protected for the first time.

To become the wind?Or become rain?Or still become a charm, guarding her little happiness in the middle of this beautiful forest?

Zhuxi's figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared in the thick night fog. Wang Zijin hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, but only grabbed a handful of wet water droplets.

what is this?The palm was wet and cold, with a dazzling luster in the night. Is it really just night fog?Or a girl's sad tears?

"Fei Xiao, Fei Xiao, has she left? Where has she gone?" Wang Zijin hastily turned around and asked Fei Xiao who was standing behind him.

Fei Xiao's eyes were stern, looking at the mountains shrouded in mist like silhouettes in the distance, she said slowly: "In the past, there were no mountain ghosts in this mountain, but now there are."

"What do you mean?"

He didn't get an answer, but he heard a woman moaning from the ground. It turned out that Zhuyu had woken up. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were unfocused. She grabbed Zhao Shanren's hand and said, "Daddy, I had a very interesting dream." Ah, hehe, it's fun..."

"Zhuyu, Zhuyu, it's all right now, Daddy is sorry for you both, it's all Daddy's fault that caused the current situation."

But Zhuyu laughed and said, "Where's Zhuxi? Where's Zhuxi? I ​​want to play games with her!" She also clapped her hands and sang, "Little colored balls, bouncing around, sisters, happy and happy."

Obviously already crazy.

Wang Zijin looked at Zhuyu's silly and silly face, and felt extremely sad in his heart. Could it be that she also knew that she had done something wrong and was overwhelmed, so that her memory returned to her childhood?
"Zi Jin, let's go, we still need to find Zhuxi's body." Fei Xiao said, pulling Wang Zijin away from the father and daughter.

Wang Zijin thought of the bluestone brick wall where the woman disappeared in his dream every night, and also thought of Zhao Shanren who came in to kill him when he groped to the corner of the study, and said slowly: "I know where the body is."

If you guessed right, it should be in the wall of the study, that's why Zhuyu was so nervous to go in and read a book by herself, so when they were looking for candles, their father and daughter wanted to kill him to silence him, all because they misunderstood that he had found the body.

The next day, this small village was surrounded by rumors, and too many strange things happened overnight.In the wall of Zhao Shan's house, a woman's mummy was unexpectedly found, and it was said that it was the second girl Zhuxi.

But the eldest girl, Zhuyu, went crazy overnight, she didn't even know her name, she still wanted to play with her younger sister, and Zhao Shanren, who was famous for his good deeds, was also taken away by the people from the government.

The sorcerer who went to see off his relatives did not come back, and later the body was found in the mountains. When he died, he was surrounded by earthworms, his face was grim, and he seemed to be scared to death.

When rumors swept through the village and town like a mountain wind, Wang Zijin and Fei Xiao had already left on horseback, and came to the fork in the road again.

"Which way can I get to Jiangling Mansion?" Wang Zijin looked at the criss-crossing roads in front of him, confused.

"Let me take a look at the map." Fei Xiao picked up the map, looked at it, pointed to the sky and said, "Zi Jin, we should go up."

Wang Zijin shook his head helplessly when he saw it. While hesitating, he saw a girl in a red dress sitting on the side of the road, looking at the two of them with a smile.

"Young masters, the road to Jiangling is that one." The girl pointed to one of the roads.

Looking at the girl's bright smiling face, Wang Zijin couldn't help being stunned. It seemed familiar, yet so strange. How could the face in his memory have such a happy expression?

"Thank you, girl." Fei Xiao clasped her fists and smiled at her, then galloped onto the path led by the girl.

Wang Zijin hurriedly followed behind him, and when he turned his head, there was only smoke and dust rolled up by the horseshoes behind the two of them, and where was the girl in red?

"Fei Xiao, Fei Xiao, what is that?" Wang Zijin asked.

"It's Mei, a kind of mountain ghost." Fei Xiao said, looking at the majestic green mountains behind her, and sighed, "Originally there were no ghosts in the mountains, but it was human resentment that created mountain ghosts."

"Perhaps with her, there will be no more disasters on this mountain." Wang Zijin sighed, "Look at her smile, no matter whether you can ascend or not, as long as you are happy, you are good."

"That's right." Fei Xiao said, speeding up her horse and already walking ahead, "Happiness and happiness have no definition."

Wang Zijin saw that his back was fading away, so he hurriedly followed, and the two horses quickly disappeared on the dirt road with smoke and dust.Leave this green hill, this green water, this small village, and this distant resentment behind.

"Zi Jin, I don't know why, I have a hunch that maybe you will be the next one to get married." Fei Xiao walked halfway, then suddenly turned her head and winked at him playfully.

"I haven't played enough yet!"

The prince rolled his eyes at him, but he heard the mountain wind whimpering and the thin sound of the grass flute, as if someone's girl was leaning against the green willows, playing her unknown thoughts.
