husband from hell

Chapter 245 Longevity
"Who made a fuss..." I looked into Cheng Ke's calm eyes, and said with a straightened neck, "Then, let me just listen to how you want to argue."

"Sophistry?" Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows: "I'll show you some memories."

His slender and slightly cool hand held mine.

Strange...why no matter how many times he holds my hand, my heart still beats violently?

Just like holding hands for the first time.

Before I could figure it out, a gust of cold wind hit my face.

It's snowing outside, goose feather heavy snow.

The snow was already very deep, and a few people walked in the snow, leaving deep pits under their feet, which were black holes in the white expanse connecting the sky and the earth.

I recognize this place, it's inside the Bi Luo Gate that just came out.

Cheng Ke came out of the gate wearing a cloak covered in snowflakes. His hair was thin and white, and he stretched out his slender fingers to wipe off the snowflakes on his straight nose. Yingying water droplets.

He saw the deep traces of carriages and horses in the courtyard, and on the corridor, there were a few shallow footprints where the ice and snow had not yet melted.

There was a little girl holding a tea tray and walking in with her head bowed. For some reason, seeing Cheng Ke, her hands trembled, and the tea spilled and landed on the snow, melting a few brown puddles.

Cheng Ke glanced at it and asked casually, "Be careful."

That little girl looked very delicate, she was fifteen or sixteen years old, her little face was flushed, and when she saw Cheng Ke, she was really a little dazed: "You came back so early? Didn't you want tomorrow?"

"It's easy to handle." Cheng Ke said lightly, but it seemed that he was injured outside, and the injury was still serious.But he seemed to be used to it long ago, so he didn't care. Then he looked at the car door and asked, "Is there a visitor?"

"This..." The little girl blinked her big eyes, as if a little flustered: "I don't know either."

Cheng Ke frowned handsomely, who could it be?
This little girl is from Changpu, if she came to treat her, it was obvious that the guests were looking for Changpu.

Could it be someone from Tanshen Town?

It's not quite right either, although the elders in Tanshen Town did indeed send Changpu and Wei Qian to get longevity, but this way is not honorable after all. On the surface, Tanshen Town wants to take Changpu as a shame, It may not be possible to show your face and slap yourself in the face.

Seeing that little girl panicked, I secretly guessed, could this little girl be that shedding lotus?
Cheng Ke didn't continue to ask, but just went inside.

If it's inconvenient for Calamus's personal affairs, don't ask.

I suddenly felt a little sore in my heart, he actually believed in calamus as much as I believed in him.

But things backfired.

Cheng Ke arrived at his room, but before he opened the door, he heard a voice from inside: "Why did you call me here?"

It was the voice of a deep old man, and I immediately remembered that this was the master of Calamus.

"My own room is not safe." Calamus's curling voice sounded: "Wei Changsheng will come back anytime, but Cheng Ke will come back tomorrow... Besides, I can trust Cheng Ke."

Cheng Ke was a little sweet in his heart. Although he didn't like candy, it felt good.

He turned around and wanted to go out and guard the snow-swept gate. If Wei Qiancheng came back early like him, he could help the calamus to block it.

"It's... that child from the Luo family?" Changpu's master helped Cheng Ke go all the way to the Luo family to exorcise evil spirits, so he naturally still remembers him: "The coffin boy is talented, but he looks dangerous."

"As long as it can be used by me." Calamus's voice was pleasant but very cold: "Perhaps, it is the best move for him to achieve longevity."

Cheng Ke's footsteps stopped.

chess?
"You'd better be careful when you're dealing with two people." The master continued, "This matter is just like playing chess. If you don't take a careless move, you'll lose everything."

"I'm sure, he likes me to the bone." Calamus's nice voice was very casual: "This kind of person who is loved by no one is the best way to lie. Give him a little warm, He will always remember it in his heart, and he will never forget it... From his attitude towards the family, it can be seen that he suffered such a crime when he was a child, and he was willing to work for the eldest brother in the family. Speaking of it, it was just for a cloak .”

I felt a chill in my heart, and it was hard to believe that Calamus would say such words!
I am envious of Cheng Ke's treatment of her... How could she have the heart to treat Cheng Ke as a pawn?

I also know about the incident between Cheng Ke and his elder brother. It was the warmth that Cheng Ke has never forgotten, but when it comes to Chang Pu, it becomes a laughing stock.

Cheng Ke's body froze, but his thin lips curled up, yes...it's like this again.

He was born without true love, and could only be used by others.

Even the only childhood friend, the only person identified, is like this.

"You must be more careful." Master Changpu's voice continued to resound: "Just don't be betrayed by him."

"Whatever I want to do, he will definitely help me." Calamus's voice was lazy but determined: "Even if he dies for me."

"Calamus." The master's voice paused for a moment, and then said: "The matter of longevity is the most important thing. It is the best chance for us in Tanshen Town to take it back from Wei Changsheng..."

"Master, don't worry, I am determined to get it." Calamus replied indifferently: "If I die, Wei Changsheng must be in pain, and he will think that Changsheng was taken away by Cheng Ke, but Cheng Ke's ability may not be much worse than Wei Changsheng. , will never be snatched back by Wei Qiancheng again."

Her voice paused, and she said confidently: "For me, he will definitely try his best to find my corpse and use his longevity to resurrect me. At that time... I will bring my longevity back, and everything will be over."

"Okay." Calamus's master seemed to be very pleased: "It seems that everything is safe. But... this matter, be very careful, don't leak the slightest word to that coffin boy. Since he is the key, we should pay more attention to it."

Calamus smiled: "Master, don't worry. He won't be back until tomorrow. Even if he hears these words, it doesn't matter. He believes in me more than I believe in myself. Whenever I say a few words, I have no choice but to come out of Tanshen Town. He will always believe the pressure and threats to his family."

Yes, calamus is really accurate in seeing people.

Cheng Ke unexpectedly wanted to laugh.

Children born in coffins, that's it, right?How can you get a little sincerity?This is born to be lonely.

He was the one who killed his mother, as the children in Luojia Village said, "he deserves this reward."

He wanted to go out with his slender legs, it didn't matter if he didn't listen to these words.

However, his feet felt weak, and he staggered, and the familiar sweet smell of blood appeared in his throat.

It was dark before his eyes, he stretched out his hand to support the pillar, and then I saw that the clothes under the cloak were oozing bright red traces.

My heart twitched, and I saw his blood drop by drop, falling into the snow under the eaves.

I want to help him, hug him, and save him... But this is just what happened before, and there is nothing I can do...

But Cheng Ke just thought, why didn't he realize that the blood and snow complement each other, red, white and white, so beautiful.

It's a pity that his eyes turned black and he couldn't see clearly anymore.

The world was spinning in his beautiful big peach eyes, and his thick eyelashes fluttered and closed.

And just in time, there was the sound of the door being opened, and Calamus screamed: "Cheng Ke!"

"We can't let him die..." Master Changpu's resolute voice said, "The plan can't stop at this step!"

Those voices were very far away, like the echoes of the empty valley on the other side of the mountain, hitting his heart leisurely.

Can't let him die... Cheng Ke knew why.

My heart seemed to be cut by a sharp knife, and it hurt more and more.

I knew why he was always as cold as ice and rejected people for thousands of miles, but who could bear this kind of injury?

He just made it through.

He opened his eyes again, and beside him was a calamus dressed in red, with a smile on his beautiful face: "Finally woke up."

Wei Qiancheng also sat beside Cheng Ke, and stretched out his slender hands to roast on the charcoal stove: "I happen to be away, if it wasn't for the calamus, you would have died."

It's not bad to be dead.

Cheng Ke looked at the ceiling, and smiled coolly on his thin lips.

If you live, will something good really happen?

For the first time, he doubted this sentence.

In front of my eyes, Venus is running wildly at this time, like the fireflies all over the mountains and plains.

Fireflies are not easy to catch, but it's always worth it to see her laugh, but looking at it now...it's because she is ridiculous that she laughs, right?

Wei Qiancheng was like a child. Seeing Cheng Ke lost his mind, he covered Cheng Ke's sharp-edged handsome face with his hands heated by the charcoal fire: "Is it warm?"

Cheng Ke didn't answer.

"He doesn't like to talk." Calamus's white and soft hands were stirring a bowl of medicine: "Let him rest and stop making trouble."

Wei Qiancheng retracted his hand, but turned to warm Calamus's face.

Calamus smiled slightly, and patted Wei Qiancheng's hand.

That look... really loving.

Wei Qiancheng tilted her head contentedly, her red lips curved, showing her canine teeth: "As long as I'm here, I won't let you die. You can live forever with me."

Longevity...it's too scary to think about it, Cheng Ke suddenly felt, should he really live?

No one really needs him.

Calamus's smile was still so beautiful that he even hoped that those words were just a dying dream.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

"Cheng Ke..." After Wei Qiancheng left, Calamus's cherry lips slowly blew the medicine in the bowl, scooped it up and put it on Cheng Ke's thin lips, and said softly: "You can't die, you Your life is mine."

So, when you ask for it, you have to give it back?
Cheng Ke knew everything in his heart.

The false warmth brought by the fox fur coat floated into his heart again.

"Whoever is kind to you, you should also be kind to others." After a long time, I can no longer remember the face of my father who taught me: "The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by the spring. Can't owe."

Well, this life was picked up by Calamus, so it doesn't matter if it is given to her.

So be it.Keep the promise.

Now I understand why Cheng Ke is still willing to help her when she is used by Changpu like this.

It turned out that unintentionally, I owed my life for nothing.

The reason why he hesitated...was because of Wei Qiancheng?Subconsciously, he would feel that he had hurt Wei Qiancheng, and the hurt was irreparable.

I don't know the rest of the matter, my hand was cold, it was Cheng Ke who held my hand.

In front of my eyes suddenly changed back to the autumn colors on the Xuanyin ground, and Cheng Ke's expressionless face.

"So..." I was a little dazed: "Are you going to pay it back with your life?"

"Anyway, I don't want to live," Cheng Ke said, "If you were me, what kind of love and hatred would you have?"

How can I know what to love and what to hate, I just feel distressed.

I want to take care of that lonely Cheng Ke.

Cheng Ke is always used by others, and Wei Qiancheng... is always betrayed.

I know Cheng Ke's hesitation at the time: "Then...you help Calamus win longevity...Only Wei Qiancheng is still in the dark?"

"Who is Wei Qiancheng?" Cheng Ke said with a cool smile on his lips: "The memory after that was broken again, I forgot how I made up my mind to help Changpu betray Wei Qiancheng, but...you don't think he can see it ? It's just... I don't want to accept it when I see it."

It can be seen that he is unwilling to accept it, yes, Wei Qiancheng is this kind of person.

He would rather not believe it.

I also understood that the reason why Wei Qiancheng wanted to find a substitute was because he liked Changpu's company, but he couldn't afford Changpu's heart.

It's like a knife inside the cotton wool, when you let your guard down the most, it penetrates deeply, and it's hard to guard against.

Suddenly I feel... Even though Wei Qiancheng is powerful, immortal, and seems to have everything that other people dream of having, he is actually on par with Cheng Ke.

"At first," I squeezed Cheng Ke's hand, a little unhappy: "Why didn't you say it?"

"Because of the technique of yin and yang to control ghosts, the memory is blank," Cheng Ke continued: "So this matter, I didn't remember it at the beginning. As you said, the first thing I remembered was many things. The beautiful picture, I only remember that I love calamus, and this... I only recalled it later."

His memory, like a puzzle piece after piece, is gradually pieced together into a complete one.

It's not complete yet.

"So, after you heard about that incident, you didn't mention it, so Calamus still doesn't know anything?" I frowned, "I've seen your other memories..."

"After that snowfall, there will be no good memories." Cheng Ke said indifferently: "Fireflies can only live for one summer."

My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't figure it out. Because there were too many questions, I didn't know which one to ask. Suddenly, I glanced at Cheng Ke's wrist. I didn't care about anything, so I pointed to his wrist and said: "If this It's all true... Then tell me, what is this thing? Where did it come from?"

"This?" Cheng Ke lowered his head, his eyes fell on the red line, and then he seemed to remember something, but he took out another red line that was exactly the same from his body, and said, "I was in a hurry before, but I didn't have a chance to get it." Come out, this one is for you."

"For me?" I frowned: "What the hell is this?"

A circle of red thread is mixed with gold thread, and a round jade ball is also tied.

"Inside the Biluomen, the place where Calamus took me is Yuelao Temple." Cheng Ke put the red thread on my wrist: "I have been there with Calamus before. She asked me if I could take it again." After longevity, start again."

Calamus really doesn't know...

"The matter is clear, this is brought along."

The red thread on the wrist still irritated my eyes, which made my eyes sore and wanted to shed tears.

"very nice."

"I think so too."

"Your agreement with Calamus is just to wait for her and return the longevity?" I looked up at Cheng Ke: "Then you planned before, after returning the longevity to him, you..."

"I didn't think so much at the time, but I just wanted to repay the favor." Cheng Ke said: "As for the future, I will even be tired of living, but I didn't expect to meet you later."

His slender hand held mine even tighter: "I suddenly felt that the saying 'As long as you live, good things will happen' might actually make sense. Although——I am no longer alive."

"Cheng Ke..." When I said this, I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

He hugged me: "A lot of memories before were uncertain and vague, so I didn't tell you. There are some things that I don't want you to worry about. It's a bumpy road, but God, after all, treats me well."

As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at me as if he was so apprehensive. The tip of his tall nose rubbed against mine. My heart skipped a beat. Just as I was about to close my eyes, I heard a voice shouting: "You two If you have something to say, talk it out!"

Turning his head, he saw the earrings coming out of the store with his head poking his head, and he said nervously: "Although beating is about kissing or loving, whether you like it or not, you can kick it with your feet, but it can't be too much..."

"Thank you for your kindness." I wiped my face in a hurry, and my cheeks were hot. I don't know what kind of mess it is now, but Cheng Ke rarely wanted to laugh: "I heard such words when I was a child, crying and laughing, and my teeth were broken... ..."

"My teeth are fine!"

"Fuck, I was so aggressive just now that I looked like I was going to fight, but after a while, it looks sweet again!" Earring looked at Cheng Ke in admiration, and said, "Tall, it's really tall, Cheng Ke, are you free?" Teach me two tricks."

"Go, go, go." I rubbed my eyes, trying to laugh, but... I remembered the matter of life extension and longevity.

How many times can he watch me so intently?
Cheng Ke rubbed my hair habitually: "What are you thinking? Don't keep Mr. Deng waiting."

I looked up at his clear peach blossom eyes: "I'm thinking about extending my life, and the technique of yin and yang to ward off ghosts."

"So?" Cheng Ke's every word was terribly sweet: "Didn't I tell you that there was me?"

I simply stared at him and only reflected my eyes, and then remembered the matter of his own decision to continue his life. My heart that had just warmed up felt a little chilly again, and I said with a stiff neck, "I ask you, What do you want?"
