But even so, Hang Yanling was unlucky enough to have to climb up the cloud steps that would take half a morning to pass by walking alone with his enemy from the previous life.
What kind of torture is this!
Following behind the second senior sister who was dressed in a strange dress, Hang Yanling complained repeatedly in her heart.
The moon and stars are sparse, and the cloud steps are illuminated by the moonlight. The high Linlang Academy is hidden in the clouds, which is a bit like a fairyland on earth.
Zhou Qingying, who was walking in front, reflected the moonlight, and slowly said to Hang Yanling behind him: "Do you think I'm a little unreasonable?"
"...Ah, it's okay."
Compared with you in the previous life, it is barely acceptable now...
Of course, it was a bit sudden.
Although the two have been alone many times, Hang Yanling still rarely has the opportunity to take a good look at his childhood sweetheart in this life.
Maybe it's because of the weird and fancy clothes that lowered Hang Yanling's vigilance towards her. Of course, it's also possible that after going through a series of things, Hang Yanling somewhat regained some of the mentality of the previous life.
Seeing the building of Linlang Academy close in front of her eyes, Zhou Qingying suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What kind of person do you think she... is?"
The 'she' mentioned here naturally refers to Zhou Qingying's sister, Hang Yanling's first real first love in the previous life.
"I think she is a very gentle person."
Even though it was Zhou Qingying who she was afraid of who was asking the question, even though she knew that Zhou Qingying and her senior sister would not deal with it, Hang Yanling still gave her answer quite directly.
The senior sister in her previous life died because of her generosity, that was her only way to resist fate, and it was also the beginning of Fu Tianqing's lifelong regret.
"She habitually takes care of others, which is a kind of softness from the heart. I don't think there is anything wrong with such a senior."
"Yes...that's it."
Zhou Qingying stayed for a while, and she turned around gently under the moonlight, stood on the top of the steps, looked down at Hang Yanling: "You think so too?"
"What is 'too'?"
"...Because I feel the same way."
Zhou Qingying let out a long breath, and she patted her face.
At this moment, Shan Xia's awkward performance was removed by her. She sat down on the steps and did not continue to move forward. Instead, she used the solitude under the moonlight to confide to Hang Yanling: "I don't think that is clearly related to me. The elder sister who is related by blood but has never met a few times since she was a child is a bad person..."
"Huh? But I think you hate her a little bit."
"Yeah, because all I remember of her is hatred."
"Hate?? Why?"
But shouldn't this word be related to that senior who treats strangers with tenderness?
Wrapping her knees, Zhou Qingying said to Hang Yanling: "You have lost your memory, you don't remember the past... So you don't remember, we met for the first time, right?"
"Yes...but what does this have to do with us?"
"..."
Zhou Qingying pressed her face on her arms a little lonely, covering her expression, and said sullenly, "Why do you think, as the daughter of the Zhou family, I appeared in Lianhua Palace and became your senior sister?"
"I remember hearing from my senior sister... that the Zhou family suffered an accident back then, and had no choice but to entrust you to Lianhua Palace."
"Hey, do you believe it?"
"……if not?"
Zhou Qingying raised her head and looked at Hang Yanling with a sad smile: "I was only three years old that year... I can't remember many things when I was a child, and generally speaking, few people can remember things when they were three years old—but Only that night, I remember clearly."
"..."
"I vaguely remember that when I was a child, I had a sister who was much older than me and was very gentle. She always took me to play, and I would feel at ease when I was with her. She taught me how to read and showed me various A picture book of beautiful flowers and plants... Then one day, she stuffed mine into a black box and transported me up a mountain, which was bumpy and painful. I was scared, but I promised her, I can't cry no matter what..."
Hang Yanling frowned and asked, "Is that the day when the Zhou family suffered an accident?"
"I don't remember, I only remember when I came out of the box. The gentle sister told me to walk along a path leading to the mountains, go straight, go far, far away... Dad Mom will be waiting for me on the other side of the path."
Zhou Qingying murmured: "...I was very scared at that time, but my gentle sister didn't go with me, she sat in another dark box... probably a carriage, and chose to leave. When I was a child I believed her words very much, so I kept walking, walking... I don’t know how long I walked, it was dark, I couldn’t see anything, and I fell down.”
"..."
"Do you remember? I am afraid of dogs, even now - when I fell down, a group of black dogs surrounded me. They are different from the big yellow dogs at home. They are fierce and very Terrible. They bit my arm and tore my clothes. It hurts, it hurts..."
Hang Yanling listened quietly, but frowned deeply.
Asking a three-year-old girl to walk the mountain road doesn't sound like something the senior in my memory would do.
What's more, it's her own sister...
"If you hadn't appeared at that time, I should have been a pile of small bones on Qiudang Mountain, eaten by wild dogs everywhere."
"I……?"
Zhou Qingying looked up at Hang Yanling: "Yes, you were about the same age as me at that time, but you waved the branches very proudly, and appeared in front of me carelessly to save me—those wild dogs were very afraid of you, so they whimpered twice. I ran away. Thinking about it now, they should be afraid of Uncle Jingshui who is following you, but no matter what, our first meeting was at that time."
"So... I'm still your savior?"
Hang Yanling said in wonder.
Zhou Qingying nodded and looked at Hang Yanling: "I always remember what you looked like at that time... But at that time, I passed out without saying anything to you. After I woke up, I was brought back by Uncle Jingshui Lianhua Palace. My master saved my life...and took me in as her disciple."
After that, Zhou Qingying had a home.
It's just that at the age of three, she didn't know her own life experience, nor did she know why she was abandoned.
As she grew older, she gradually realized that the mountain she went to was called Qiudang Mountain, a barren mountain inhabited by herds of beasts and bandits.
When Qingshui brought Hang Yanling back from the town at the foot of the mountain, he happened to run into Zhou Qingying who was attacked by wild dogs.
Salvation was only accidental, and there were no parents on the mountain that my sister had promised.
The path pointed out by my sister is deceptive, and the only ending waiting for the young Zhou Qingying is death.
"As I grow older, I understand more and more clearly that the gentle sister in my memory actually wants me to die."
After Zhou Qingying finished speaking, she stood up: "So when I saw her in Linlang Academy and heard her claiming to be my sister, those memories in my mind would come up involuntarily, scaring me, scaring me. The face of hatred finally had a clear outline... After that, I didn't know how to get along with her."
"Didn't you ask her why she did that?"
Hang Yanling asked involuntarily, Zhou Qingying's expression showed that this was not a lie Zhou Qingying made up to make Hang Yanling hate her senior.
Relying on her understanding of Zhou Qingying, she is not someone who would fabricate such a laborious lie.
But that doesn't make any sense.
Even if the senior sister really intends to kill her three-year-old sister, there is no need to take the initiative to recognize her after seeing her survived many years later.
It doesn't make sense and cannot be explained.
"That's all I want to say. I don't know how to get along with this sister... All in all, I don't want you to treat such a person as someone you can get close to."
After saying this, Zhou Qingying stood up and continued to walk towards the height of the cloud steps.
Hang Yanling thoughtfully followed behind Zhou Qingying, and the silence between the two lasted until they reached Linlang Academy and bid farewell to each other in front of the dormitory door.
————————————————————
"Oh...it's terrible, it's really terrible..."
Lying on the bed, Hang Yanling held her head.
Too many things happened today. I saw a superpower in the morning, returned to the earth for two hours in the afternoon, and was asked to track down the mysterious drug circulating in the university. After returning, I ran to the foot of the mountain and saw The corpse of Styx Sect... In the evening, I learned about the past that my senior sister suspected of killing Fang Qingying, who was only three years old.
It is complicated and unclear, and the necessary evidence is very lacking...
The three things were mixed together, causing Hang Yanling to scream and have a headache.
I have lived so long in my previous life and never had such a bad day. If I keep stuffing so many messy things every day, if this continues, I will die of insanity sooner or later.
Why the hell do you...
Why did the senior sister attack Zhou Qingying...
Why did the corpse of Styghe Sect that Jingshui wanted to kill appear in the stream at the foot of Linlang Academy, and the corpse had its face peeled off and its eyes gouged out.
Why would someone on Earth be able to get that kind of inexplicable medicine...
Suffering from a headache, Hang Yanling took out the capsule from the ring that was handed over to her by the woman who called herself "Doctor".
This drug claims to be able to refresh the mind and increase intelligence. Does it mean that after taking this drug, all problems will be solved?
I heard that this thing is only useful for college students, but since Linlang Academy was originally designed with reference to universities on the earth, I should be considered a college student if I round it up now. It should be useful if I eat it, right?
Hang Yanling was lying on the bed looking at the capsule when the door creaked and Yan Qiuyu walked into the room.
Seeing Hang Yanling lying on the bed, Yan Qiuyu said hello, sat beside Hang Yanling's bed and asked, "Junior Sister, how do you feel about your first day at school?"
"It's numb and messy... Oh, by the way, Xiao Qiuyu, here's something nice for you."
Hang Yanling put down the pills, took out the leftover Ferrero chocolates that were distributed to Zhou Qingying from the storage ring, and handed them to Yan Qiuyu who was beside the bed.
"Thank you, this is...?"
Yan Qiuyu looked at the snacks he had never seen before in surprise, and Hang Yanling had already prepared a set of excuses: "The meeting gifts brought by my classmates at school today are quite sweet. I think you will like them, so I specially brought some back for you. you."
"Um……"
Yan Qiuyu peeled off the candy wrapper, pinched the dark brown chocolate ball under his fingertips, took a closer look, then sniffed it lightly under his nose, then opened his mouth and lightly bit a small piece, carefully chewing for two Down.
"So sweet..."
"That's right, that's why I must let you try it."
In order to divert his attention, Hang Yanling sat up and chatted with Yan Qiuyu about what happened today.
In addition to concealing the matter of returning to Earth, Hang Yanling told Yan Qiuyu about the faceless corpse in the stream and Zhou Qingying's concerns.
Yan Qiuyu savored the chocolate carefully, and after listening to Hang Yanling's narration, she smiled softly: "Junior Sister, do you know the Zhou family?"
"I probably have a little impression. It seems that like the Fu family, they made their fortunes by relying on pills."
The Zhou family is also one of the top ten families in Nanzhou. The ranking seems to be lower than that of the Fu family, and its size is also much lower than that of the Fu family in its heyday.
The Fu family is good at producing pills that can assist in cultivation, improve cultivation, or nourish for cultivation.The Zhou family refines all kinds of healing medicines and health products, so it is not considered a competitive relationship with the Fu family.
The two families are far away, and they only met once or twice in the previous life, and the information they know is basically the basic information that most people in the world know.
Yan Qiuyu kneaded the chocolate on her fingertips, and said with a light smile, "I've heard Uncle Bishui tell me about the past experience of Third Junior Sister, but I didn't expect that the sister who abandoned her back then was here on our campus... by the way. , I don’t know if you have heard a rumor in the rivers and lakes?”
"what?"
"The reason why Zhou's medicine can't sell well to Fu's is because the generations in their family are short-lived."
"Huh? Short life?"
"That's right, no matter what level of cultivation it is, the Zhou family members seem to have the longest lifespan of 50 years. There are many Zhou family members who live to be 40 or [-] years old and die young."
When a monk cultivates to the True Essence Stage, his lifespan will increase to a certain extent. In the eyes of ordinary people, a lifespan of 50 years seems nothing, but if a family of cultivation has been like this for generations, it is indeed a bit intriguing.
"Everyone thinks that the Zhou family can't even save themselves, and it's hard to say whether the pills they sell will be effective. Therefore, the business of the Zhou family has not been as good as that of the Fu family for a long time... it can only be sold to ordinary people, and the business can only be done among them. Do it in three parts of the mu."
"Then, what caused the short life of their family?"
"I don't know about it. The Zhou family will naturally not say it to the outside world. The rumors circulating in the rivers and lakes are not reliable."
Yan Qiuyu blinked: "But I heard... the Patriarch of the Zhou family of this generation, that is, the father of the third junior sister, claimed to have found a solution to the family's short-lived problem many years ago. Check it out, but it is an undoubted fact that the Zhou family's business is getting bigger and bigger."
Chapter No.17 Patience is limited
The stars and the moon hang in the sky, and Hang Yanling looks at the starry sky outside the window.
The dark golden light circulated in the eyes, and Hang Yanling fell silently into a state of contemplation.
Even with the butterfly effect, past lives can still be used as a reference for the present.
Why is he so unfamiliar with the Zhou family's information?Because the overall existence of this family with the curse of short-lived generations is not long.
After the destruction of the Fu family in the previous life, several major families in Nanzhou also focused on the fat left by the Fu family.
The Zhou family, which is also a family of refining medicine, is especially enthusiastic. It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.
Zhou Zhuyi, the Patriarch of the Zhou family, took advantage of the marriage between his daughter Zhou Qinghe and An Xianshan, and took advantage of the plank road post house of Jun Tianshang behind the An family, quickly ran to Puhe City and seized most of the medicine fields and storage of the Fu family.
At that time, Fu Tianqing was the only heir, and she was falling in love with her senior at that time. For the sake of her senior, Fu Tianqing didn't pay too much attention to the Fu family whom he had long been tired of. However, because the Zhou family was not greedy enough, they couldn't absorb the rest of the Fu family's property, and ended up in a mess. Not only their ancestral property was occupied by others, but the new property of Puhe City was also occupied by several top-ranked families. Unable to continue under pressure.
Not long after Zhou Qinghe's death, the Zhou family had to sell their property at a low price and retreat to their hometown, and finally ended up in a state of depression since then.
