Chapter 83: The End of Life (14)
I sat next to Childe, swaying my legs and knocking melon seeds very leisurely, and there were already a bunch of melon seed shells on the ground, which were the results of my accumulation when Qin Tassel told her story.
After listening to the story of Qin Tassel, I found that it was actually not long, and it was simply summarized that she had no father's pain and no mother's love since she was a child, and she was fostered in someone else's house. And then by chance, she happened to meet the fox demon Bai Tianhan, and the two have been together for five years, even if there have been twists and turns in the middle, but in the end, they can be regarded as expressing their thoughts to each other. And just when the two thought that the future days would continue to be so peaceful, a Taoist priest suddenly popped up on the way to beat the mandarin duck. And this Taoist priest's stick was not light, not only successfully blinded Qin Tassel's eyes, but also stained Bai Tianhan's hands, which had never killed anyone, with blood, and finally put himself into it in a daze, not even a whole corpse was left, thinking about it carefully, it was really worth the loss.
On the way to listen to the story, I suddenly found that when I was bored in the Heavenly Court before, I also saw a similar story in the book of borrowing words from Senior Sister Jiu, but it was a female fox demon in that story.
The story I saw was actually very simple, about a female fox demon who was bored and wandered out one day, and suddenly saw a handsome scholar who passed by here to enter Beijing to take the exam, and then the thunder and thunder were out of control, and since then I fell in love with him at first sight.
Later, the fox demon was unwilling to leave, so he found an excuse to follow the scholar's side, poured out his heart and lungs for him, took care of everything for him, and saved one of his lives from the knife of the rogue on the way to Beijing.
Because he is a young talent, he is also extremely popular, so much so that even the princess who lives in the deep palace knows his name, and after a deliberate coincidence, the princess said a few words in the emperor's ear, and then the emperor has the intention of marrying the princess to him.
After hearing this, the fox demon was naturally unwilling and wanted to go and ask for an explanation. But when she came to the courtyard where the scholar lived, she saw not the person she wanted to see, but a Taoist priest with a peachwood sword in the courtyard. In the end, the fox demon was outnumbered, and the Taoist priest did not show mercy, so the soul of the beaten man was scattered. It's a pity that the fox demon read it before he died, and it was still the name of the scholar.
After reading that book, my only sigh is that people's hearts are really dangerous and unpredictable. Even if that fox demon is a demon, but after all, she has helped the scholar so much, and he doesn't reciprocate, but he can still ruthlessly put her to death, which is really chilling.
So compared to them, Qin Tassel and Bai Tianhan are not bad, after all, there has been no betrayal between them, and some only support and comfort each other. I don't know what it would be like if the fox demon knew that the culprit who invited a Taoist priest to beat his soul and could not be reincarnated forever was the scholar he put in his heart.
While I was in the middle of my belly, Childe took a slow sip of tea with a teacup, and then looked up at Qin Tassel, whose eyes were red because of recalling the past, but what Childe said next was not to comfort her, but to say thoughtfully: "Then according to what Miss said so, Bai Tianhan is likely to be the culprit who kidnapped the girl in the city?"
Qin Liusu nodded lightly: "Yes......" After finishing speaking, he looked up as if he remembered something, and explained hurriedly, "But I know that Xiaobai is not such a person, he must have a hard time doing this, it may be that he is threatened and controlled by others!"
Childe put down the teacup and nodded very meekly, but his words and actions were not consistent: "That's what I said, but I have to see the specific situation to know." After all, people ......," Childe paused, his eyes flickering, but he was still smiling, "but everything will change." ”
I nodded in agreement, and interjected with melon seeds: "That's it, who can guarantee that they haven't changed at all." ”
Childe glanced at me slightly, but did not speak.
Qin Tassel saw that he couldn't say anything about the two of us, so he bit his lip and still insisted on whispering: "No matter what you say, I believe in him anyway......"
"Miss Tassel has known Bai Tianhan for so long, and I believe he is also certain. Childe raised his hand and gently rubbed the celadon tea cup, and did not deny her words, "But according to what Miss said, he hasn't come to you these days, has he?"
Qin Liusu was silent and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”
Childe was not surprised by the answer: "In that case, Miss Tassel must not know where he is at this time." ”
"Yes......" Qin Tassel responded again, and then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said, "But I guess he should be in the woods, after all...... After all, he didn't have anywhere to go. And...... There are still missing people in the city, and he should ...... It's still in the city......"
I raised my head from the melon seeds, looked at Qin Tassel with her eyes closed, her eyelids trembling slightly, and her face was as pale as paper, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her.
The former friend disappeared due to his own injury, and all the fingers pointed at him for the disappearance of the girl in the city, Qin Tasu, as a woman, couldn't see with her eyes, even if she wanted to help him, she couldn't help, so she could only keep her thoughts and trust him unreservedly.
Such a woman doesn't know whether to say that she is persistent or that she is stupid.
Just as I was sighing, the son sitting next to me raised his hand and flicked the teacup, and the crisp sound echoed, and he raised a smile on his chest: "In that case, Miss Tassel, please don't spread today's matter, and you can't say it to Master Qin." Next, I will go to the woods to see, as for whether it is the Bai Tianhan who kidnapped the girl in the city, I will know at a glance. ”
Qin Tassel listened to the son's words, the hand on her lap tightened, and after a while, she answered softly: "I know, I won't tell Daddy." ”
After speaking, as if he remembered something, his voice suddenly became firm: "But if Bai Gongzi really saw him, he found ...... Found ......" she repeated twice, but after all, she still didn't want to say, "Can you take me to meet him?" After speaking, she lowered her head and whispered as if she was afraid that the son would not agree...... It's also good......"
After hearing this, Childe looked at her and was silent for a long time, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and then he bowed slightly: "Okay." ”
When he came out of Qin's tassel room, the sun had just set. Master Qin, who was guarding the door, saw that the door was open, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master Bai, how is the little girl's condition?"
Gongzi sighed, pretending to be very embarrassed and thinking for a moment, until Master Qin couldn't help but want to ask for a second time before he said leisurely: "Although it is unlikely that Miss's eyes will heal, it is not impossible. ”
As soon as Master Qin heard that there was a play, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the prince to make it clear." ”
Gongzi raised Master Qin's arm with a jade bone fan, and also leaned over slightly to return the salute before saying, "It's not necessary to express it, after all, every doctor has something he doesn't want to pass on." So in the future treatment process, please don't interfere with Master Qin, this may be done?"
"It's nature. Master Qin didn't think what he said was wrong, and nodded very happily, "If the son can really cure the little girl, no matter what the request, the old man can agree." ”
In the face of Master Qin's cheerfulness, Gongzi seemed to be very satisfied, and smiled professionally at the corners of his mouth: "Do your best in the future." After saying that, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, there is one more thing." Does Master Qin know where there are woods in this city?"
Master Qin was slightly stunned, he really couldn't figure out the forest and his daughter's condition, but after thinking about it, he still replied: "There is a forest in the south of the city, and there is also a forest not far from the Gu family. These two woods are larger, and the rest are smaller. He hesitated slightly, and asked cautiously, "I wonder what is the purpose of Childe asking where this forest is?"
Childe lowered his head and dusted off his sleeves, patted off the non-existent dust on it, and replied, "Oh yes, Miss Qin's medicinal herbs for treating her eyes can only be found in the woods, so I asked." ”
I stood behind Childe and watched him pouting silently, I really didn't blush when I was lying.
But Master Qin didn't know what I was thinking, and he believed Gongzi's words, and nodded very knowingly, "I see." At the end, he said kindly again, "If you want to find medicinal materials, let's go to the forest that leaves Gu's house, that forest is the largest, and the possibility of finding medicinal materials is greater." After speaking, he paused, as if he remembered something, and said, "Childe has just arrived, and he must not be familiar with this, so dare to ask Childe when he will go to the forest, so I will let someone take you there." ”
Childe squinted his eyes and looked at the fiery red remnants of the sky, and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just now." ”
"Now?" Old Master Qin was startled when he heard this, looked at the gradually darkening sky, thought he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "What Gongzi said, but go to the woods at this time?"
Gongzi retracted his gaze and looked at Master Qin with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
"Yes, right now. ”
When a servant in the Qin Mansion took me and my son to the forest not far from Gu's house, it was already completely dark.
A large forest was entrenched in the night, like a huge monster crawling, and it looked particularly hideous and eerie. Coupled with the half-moon half-hidden in the clouds and the night wind whistling through the branches, it was even more terrifying.
The little guy who brought the two of us was also frightened when he looked at this black and oppressive forest, and a big man screamed like a frightened bird. In the end, Childe couldn't stand it anymore and simply sent him back. The little guy didn't want to stay any longer, but when he heard that the boy was willing to let him go, he turned around and ran faster than a rabbit.
I looked at the little guy who was leading the way in the woods and disappeared after a while, and snorted disdainfully: "A big man, it's a shame to be afraid of being like this!"
The son who walked in front broke a branch out of nowhere, and swayed leisurely as he walked: "It's okay if he's gone, so we don't have to worry about anything." lest he find Bai Tianhan when the time comes, and he will be knocked unconscious, and he will die of trouble. ”
Hearing Childe say this, I thought about it and thought it was too. After all, we came to look for Bai Tianhan this time, and if someone finds out, it will indeed be a little difficult to do.
I paused, raised my hand and pinched it, and a faint white light lingered up, and my body returned to its original appearance. I stretched and sighed very comfortably, and sure enough, I was more comfortable with myself.
After doing this, I went to see Childe, and found that he had already walked away, and his green clothes were gradually blurred in the night.
I hurriedly trotted to follow, and said as I ran: "Hey, Childe, why are you walking so fast, wait for me!"
I shouted like this, but Childe didn't stop waiting for me. I ran to him angrily, pulled his sleeve angrily, and said viciously, "If you run again, don't even try to get rid of me!"
After saying that, I was stunned for a while, pondering what I had just said, and felt that it seemed a little weird. As if he had discovered it, Childe paused, turned his head to look at me, and was a little surprised in his eyes.
I was a little annoyed by his gaze, and replied stiffly: "What do you see? I've never seen a beautiful person!"
Childe was stunned again, and then laughed out loud, a pair of eyes like obsidian, especially bright in the night: "It's nothing." After a pause, he whispered, "I won't run, and I won't dump you." ”
I looked up at him in amazement, only to see that he was also looking at me. Half of his body was hidden in the shadows under the trees, and most of the expressions on his face were also hidden, except for a pair of eyes that were exceptionally bright, as if they contained the thousands of stars in the world.
The hot sensation gradually converged from all over my body to my cheeks, and I quickly lowered my head, not wanting him to see my blushing face: "Got it, got it...... What, aren't you going to find Bai Tianhan? Hurry up, don't delay any longer. ”
"Hmm. Childe replied very obediently, and did not suspect my sudden change of attitude, and walked forward with a step.
I followed by his side, still holding his sleeve with my right hand, and thought to myself in frustration as I walked: What the hell has happened to me during this time? Why do I blush at every turn? Still by Childe's side! I used to peek at Senior Brother Jiu when I took a bath together, I didn't blush when I was taking a bath, why did my face get thinner and thinner after so long? I raised my hand and rubbed my face, blushing at every turn, this is not a good sign.
While I was depressed, Childe had already taken me on a walk. I could feel that the outer edge of the forest was getting farther and farther away, and we were gradually walking towards the middle of the forest.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold moonlight fell to the ground through the cracks in the branches, making it look strange. I don't know how long it took for Childe, who had been leading the way in front, to slow down and finally stop at the edge of a large clearing.
I looked at it, and it stands to reason that there can't be a large open space in a lush forest, after all, it is impossible for the position of trees to grow to be influenced, and the reason for the appearance of open space in this forest at this time is likely to be man-made. I guess my son and I should have arrived at the place Qin Tassel said.
I was thinking like this, and Childe, who stopped to look at it for a moment, also said softly: "It's here." ”
I nodded, then poked my head back in, a flash of doubt in my mind.
According to what Qin Tassel said, there is a lake and a bamboo house where Bai Tianhan is located, but now there is only a blank land in front of us, and there is not even a single weed on this land, let alone the lake bamboo house.
I told Childe about my doubts, and Childe also frowned and thought about it, before he said slowly: "It's right here." I felt the demonic aura, and there was a faint smell of blood. ”
Hearing Childe say this, I moved my nose and sniffed, and indeed asked in the cool night breeze a faint smell of blood similar to rust.
"But I can't see anything, this place doesn't look like the place Qin Tassel said at all. I muttered.
Childe's brows furrowed more and more after hearing this, he raised his right hand, a little green mang went up to his fingertips, and with a flick of his fingers, the faint green mang drew a graceful arc in the air, landed in the center of the clearing, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Of course you can't see it, because this is using Qingqiu's concealment method. Childe said in a deep voice.
