A look of surprise froze on his face.

She looked at her mother and remembered what her mother had told her—things that made her unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, whether they were dreams or reality, and that were stained with blood on the bones of the belts.

The young and helpless Qi Taiwei died tragically in her mother's "dream", which made her mother collapse and crazy for a while, and made her who had never experienced those things also frightened.

But......

Before this moment, she had never associated those things with the "immortals".

She had never thought about what the two could have to do with each other.

My mother's experience and hers are very different and very different.

If I had to name one of the same, I am afraid it would be her death.

Whether it is in her mother's "dream" or in her memory, although she is of different ages and temperaments, she both died unexpectedly and did not have a good death.

Is the plague in Songshan County really the same as the terrible events in my mother's "dream"?

Taiwei licked her dry lips: "Maybe we thought too much." ”

Jiang nodded, but his face was still not very good-looking.

Taiwei said again: "What's more, there are no immortals in this world." ”

She smiled reluctantly, picked up the quilt, and leaned on her mother's shoulder.

Mother was born thin, with no flesh on her shoulders, not much thicker than hers, but she immediately felt at ease when she leaned on it. Probably because of the past her, she has lost her support for a long time, and being able to sit and talk with her mother like this is another happy life for her.

"I don't know whether what is written in that book is true or not. Tai Wei whispered and closed her eyes, "And even if it's true, it can't prove that the epidemic is not necessarily a natural disaster......

What happened to the group of people in my mother's "dream" is even more unknown.

She felt it was too much of a coincidence.

Maybe everything was really just a coincidence, and it wasn't as complicated and weird as she subconsciously thought.

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her and said in a low voice, "But that lame man clearly said the word 'high priest'. ”

The priest is the one who presides over the sacrifice—

What is written in that book happens to be the method of sacrificing to immortals.

The bronze tripod, the crests on it, everything is too weird.

If it is a sacrifice, then the mouth is probably an altar.

And Taiwei is probably the sacrifice of that sacrifice.

Jiang hugged his daughter tightly: "What if...... What if those things are true?"

Her heart is like a ship at sea, tossed in a raging storm, ready to sink at any moment.

Taiwei suddenly calmed down at this time.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just don't go to Songshan." ”

What my mother feared, if it had happened, should have been her childhood.

As for Songshan County, she will never go back.

Therefore, even if that catastrophe still befalls Matsuyama in the future, it has nothing to do with them.

She just wondered who the lame man and the high priest her mother was talking about. Since he is a priest, there should be a sect. However, she had lived for so many years, but she had never heard of any sects related to "immortals".

In addition to the national teacher, she has never seen a second person who is so yearning for the legendary "immortal".

The plague in Songshan County, if it is a man-made disaster, whose means will it be?

Is it the national teacher, or the high priest that my mother said?

Or are they all in this together?

Too little extrapolation to infer the results.

She opened her eyes and looked at the embroidered flowers on the quilt, delicate and gorgeous, as if they had just been plucked, and with a fresh fragrance.

These flowers, because they will never wither, have a different kind of beauty.

Jiang Shi pulled the quilt and asked her to lie down and sleep: "That's it, don't think about it." ”

As the night gets darker, you won't be able to get up at dawn until you don't fall asleep.

"Yes or no, it's always worrying and scary. Jiang didn't call anyone, he got up and went to turn off the lights, "I can only take one step at a time." ”

She carefully folded the quilt for Taiwei, as if Taiwei was still a three or five-year-old child.

It rained outside, and the air cooled down.

Taiwei lay in the warm quilt, with her eyes closed, not turning over, not thinking. But I don't know why, she obviously has an empty head, but she still can't be quiet.

She heard the sound of rain falling from the eaves outside.

"A-A-"

It makes people drowsy, but also irritable.

When will it be finished?

Taiwei finally opened her eyes impatiently.

The room was dark and dreary, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.

She suddenly heard her mother's voice, "Pretty aunt." ”

"Why don't you sleep?"

"Alas......"

Jiang sighed in the darkness.

She told Taiwei not to think about it and rest early, but she thought about it for a long time and couldn't sleep at all.

Neither mother nor daughter was sleepy, so they simply talked again.

Jiang Shi whispered: "Your father also agreed to the matter of retiring from the family. ”

Taiwei only cared about flipping through the books in the library during the day, and did not pay attention to her grandmother's movements, although she expected that her grandmother would go to her father to complain, but she didn't expect her father to agree.

She was surprised.

"How could he agree?"

The Qi family is in need of allies, and it is really not a smart move to withdraw from the Murong family's marriage at this juncture.

Jiang said: "He wants to keep you to recruit you." ”

Taiwei was very surprised: "What are you recruiting?"

He is so dignified, why do you want to keep her as a burden?

He is still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has several concubines, why should he recruit him?

What if he recruits a son-in-law and has a son? At that time, will he drive her out of the house?

It makes no sense!

Tai muttered quietly, "What a weirdo." ”

Jiang Shi smiled when he heard this: "What are you talking about, why is he a weirdo." ”

Taiwei said sullenly: "I can't understand my father's mind at all." "I don't know if she's stupid, or if he's too urban, she hasn't seen through anything of his recent actions.

It's really suspicious.

Jiang Shi listened to her words, but just smiled: "If you want to withdraw from your family, it's not good for him to agree?" As for recruiting money, he said it now, and if you don't want to go back, you shouldn't do it." ”

Taiwei tilted his head and looked at the tent in the dark.

The top of the tent was also embroidered, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

She suddenly remembered Xue Huaijian.

Recruitment?

Who can you recruit?

The person she wants will never be the son-in-law of the Qi family.

She really couldn't guess her father's thoughts.

Tick.

Outside, the rain stopped falling again and again, and it continued to rain for several days, and the weather was completely cold.

A turn, as if it was winter.

The peonies of Luoyi have long passed the flowering period and have withered away.

Fourth Master Murong glanced at the lonely garden and decided that it was time to leave for Beijing.
