In the mayor's study, Zhang Xijing was silent, and the mayor was not in a hurry, so he asked the old housekeeper to bring two cups of Longjing up, take a sip of tea, and wait for him to say it.

And Liu Yuan walked out of the room, holding a small wooden box in his hand, and the smile on his face never broke.

In the offering hall, the ancestor of the Liu family sat on the offering table, and Zhang Xue also sat there, smiling big and small.

Zhang Xue watched him eat it, and said, "What do you want you to do?" paused, and continued: "If I die, can I bless the Zhang family?"

The eyes of the ancestor of the Liu family lit up, and when he looked at her and said such sad words with a smile, he nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

When she saw him open her mouth, Zhang Xue stuffed another candy into it and continued: "If I die, can I protect Mo Qing? He is my husband, a ghost, just like you, can you send him back for me?"

The ancestor of the Liu family looked at her.

After a long time, I didn't hear him respond, Zhang Xue said, "Can't it?

The ancestor of the Liu family interrupted her words and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Xue raised her head and looked at him, smiled and said, "There is one last request." He took another piece of candy and put it in his mouth.

The ancestor of the Liu family closed his mouth, his red lips took her fingers, inadvertently absorbed a trace of her essence, and watched her withdraw his little hand with blazing eyes.

Zhang Xue retracted her smile, stood up, and said to him very seriously: "The last request, I want you to live forever, don't die, only if you exist in the world, can you fulfill my request." ”

The ancestor of the Liu family was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "Why don't you think about yourself? You don't want to live a few more days?"

Zhang Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "I think, I want to live, but fate won't let me live." ”

The ancestor of the Liu family looked at her and kissed her on the cheek unexpectedly, looked at her and smiled and said, "Thank you!

looked down at the sugar scattered on the table, and said softly, "What a good means..."

When Zhang Xue heard Liu Yuan's voice, she immediately ran out of the offering hall and answered, "I'm in the hall!" and returned to sit in the hall.

Liu Yuan, who heard the voice, turned around and ran back to the hall, and when he saw Zhang Xue sitting there safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, and blamed: "Where did you go? I thought you went back!"

Zhang Xue said: "I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm going to walk around." ”

Liu Yuan sat down and put the small wooden box in front of her, Zhang Xue looked at it curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Liu Yuan said: "You can see it when you open it." ”

Zhang Xue nodded, picked up the small wooden box, and opened it gently, there was a jade bracelet inside, emerald green and transparent, with a trace of blood in the green, and the blood was swimming in the green, swimming like a fish.

Liu Yuan said: "This is the blood jade bracelet. ”

Zhang Xue pushed the blood jade bracelet in front of him and said, "I can't ask for this, it's too precious." ”

Liu Yuan was not in a hurry, picked up the small wooden box, and said casually: "Since Xue'er doesn't like it, it's useless to keep it, just throw it away." ”

Zhang Xue took his hand and said anxiously: "What a pity to throw it away! It looks so expensive, you can give it to your mother or grandmother!"

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "You know, the Liu family has no heroine, and since I was born, I have never seen my mother and grandmother." ”

Zhang Xue nodded, I heard the old man in the village say about it, the women of the Liu family all died thirty years ago, and Liu Yuan's parents died outside.

In desperation, he had to say, "Okay, I'll take it." ”

Liu Yuan happily took out the blood jade bracelet and put it on for Zhang Xue, just put it in, when he put it in, Zhang Xue saw a line of words engraved on the inside of the blood jade bracelet, and only recognized one 'Qing' word, and the rest could not be recognized.

The mayor and Zhang Xijing walked to the hall, not caring about Liu Yuan and Zhang Xue, and the two walked into the offering hall.

The mayor frowned and looked at the three incense sticks on the offering table, obviously lit for a while, and glanced at Liu Yuan in the hall, it shouldn't be him, who is that?

Zhang Xijing said: "I'm still bothering you." ”

The mayor nodded, pulled out the three incense sticks and threw them aside, re-lit the three incense sticks and plugged them in, knelt on the futon reverently, and said respectfully: "If the descendants have something to ask for, please ask the ancestors to show up." ”

Zhang Xijing also knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Please also ask the ancestor of the Liu family to appear." ”

After waiting for a long time, the mayor's legs were numb, and he didn't see the old ancestor move a little, and muttered depressedly: "Is the old ancestor not here today?"

Zhang Xijing saw that the ancestor of the Liu family did not show up, and his heart became even more desperate.

Suddenly, a voice came from his ear: "Zhang Tianjun's life is in this fate, Zhang Xue's life is not long, and it is not impossible to exchange one life for another." ”

Zhang Xijing looked around, the mayor was still sitting on the futon, and the voice just now was the ancestor of the Liu family. Bow again to the empty offering table.

The mayor didn't know why, and muttered: "Ouch, don't worship, the ancestor is not here, come back another day!"

Zhang Xijing nodded and said, "Mayor Town, then I won't bother." ”

The mayor nodded, rubbing his numb feet, not daring to move.

Zhang Xijing walked out of the offering hall and shouted into the hall: "Xue'er, go home!"

Zhang Xue responded, turned back to Liu Yuan and said, "I'm home, thank you for the bracelet." He got up and ran out, but hid the blood jade bracelet he wore on his wrist in his sleeve.

Liu Yuan also got up and followed, sent them to the door, and said, "Come and play again another day!"

Zhang Xue glanced back at him, waved at him, saw him on the roof, and smiled at him.

The ancestor of the Liu family saw Zhang Xue go away, and said quietly: "Living is the best thing." I took out a piece of sugar and put it in my mouth, and the sweetness spread.

Liu Yuan, who was in front of the door, looked up at the roof, shook his head a few times, probably had auditory hallucinations, and there was not even a ghost around, so he turned around and walked into the house.

Zhang Xijing looked down at Zhang Xue, and it was difficult to choose between his mother and daughter on one side, I don't know what to do? What should I do to save my mother tonight?

Zhang Xue raised her head and said, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" You don't look happy at all, is Xue'er doing something wrong?"

Zhang Xijing reluctantly smiled and said: "No, Xue'er is so well-behaved, Daddy is very happy, do you want to eat sugar gourds? Daddy bought it for you!"

Zhang Xue said: "Yes, Daddy is so good!"

Zhang Xijing frowned and said, "Don't tell your mother, my father will buy you candy to eat!"

Zhang Xue shook her head and said, "Don't say anything about death!" smiled and took his big hand and followed him to the uncle who sold sugar gourds.

The sugar gourd there is Zhang Xue's favorite food, but, for the sake of good teeth, Huang Nianzhu does not give Zhang Xue to eat these.

Zhang Xijing paid for two strings of sugar gourds for Zhang Xue, watching her eat happily, the guilt in her heart became more and more, and the condemnation in her heart became more and more.

Zhang Xue ate the sugar gourd, and the smile in her eyes infected the old man who sold the sugar gourd, and the old man gave two more strings of sugar gourds, which broke Zhang Xuele.

Said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle!"
