Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Taishi Family

On the way back, Qu Xin asked Qu Yan in a loud voice, "Sister, do you have anything unfinished?" ”

The latter didn't answer, but after half a ring, he looked up at me: "Qi Fei, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"Sister..."

This surprised me for a moment, I turned my head to look at Qu Xin who was sitting on the side, and then replied loudly: "Don't be so polite, just say something directly!" ”

Qu Yan nodded behind him and said, "Have you ever heard of the Taishi clan?" ”

"The Taishi clan? I have only heard of the Three Kingdoms period, and there was a famous general named Tai Shici in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Legend has it that he was seven feet seven inches long, with a beautiful beard, good ape arms, and a true marksman. ”

Hearing this, Qu Yan's expression was obviously a little proud: "Yes, the Taishi clan is his descendants." There are always many inaccuracies in what is said in the book. In fact, this family has continued to this day. In an accident, they once got a rare treasure. So, the family went into hiding. ”

"Baby? What baby? I asked her.

"Soul Orb! You've probably heard of it! She looked at me and asked solemnly.

Hearing this, Qu Xin and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

After half a ring, I nodded and asked, "Then what is your relationship with this family?" ”

"I am the only descendant of the Taishi clan now, and my original name is actually Taishi Shaoyan. The ancestral training of our family for generations is to protect the soul beads. But when I was seven years old, my parents died unexpectedly. I was taken in by my mother-in-law, and the orb is missing. In fact, in addition to those rumors in the outside world, the soul bead also has other uses. ”

"What is it for?"

"It can bring back to life the dead."

When the words fell, Qu Xin and I were shocked, and we didn't come back to our senses for a long time.

Qu Yan continued on the side: "So I can't let it wander outside, if it is obtained by someone with a heart, then it will cause a big disaster." ”

I really didn't expect the Soul Bead to have such a use. Since ancient times, life and death have been fateful, and yin and yang are reincarnated. I can't imagine what the world would be like if one day everyone who died was resurrected.

Qu Xin was just about to speak, but I stretched out my hand to stop him. Facing her puzzled look, I opened my mouth and replied to Qu Yan, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

"Help me find the Soul Orb!" She looked serious and serious.

"You don't even know its whereabouts, why do you think I can find it?"

When the words fell, Qu Yan sighed softly: "It was my mother-in-law who said it, she said that you can help me." ”

"Why would my mother-in-law say that?" Qu Xin looked at her and asked. I don't know why, but there was obviously a hint of vigilance on her face at this time.

Even Qu Yan seemed to notice it, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal: "I don't know either." But don't worry, I won't delay your big business. You can prepare for the wedding first, and then we'll go find the Soul Orb. ”

When the words fell, Qu Xin looked at me with an inexplicably weird expression. I opened my mouth, and after half a ring, I still turned my head out of the window and didn't make a sound.

There was an unusually quiet journey, and we arrived at Nancheng at noon the next day.

Back in the store, Mu Feng and He Ling both stood at the counter to greet customers. When they saw us, they were both stunned for a moment. Then, Mu Feng opened his mouth: "How is it?" Is my aunt better? ”

When the words fell, He Ling pushed him on the side, signaling him that the Quxin sisters all had filial piety. Seeing this, Mu Feng scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry!" Condolences change. ”

Qu Xin's face was red and he didn't speak. Qu Yan, who was on the side, shook his head at the two of them and replied, "It's okay." ”

In the evening, Qu Xin and I went home. My mother heard the news of my aunt's death early in the morning, and as soon as she saw us, she stepped forward and grabbed Qu Xin with a look of pity. Qu Xin threw herself into her arms and cried for a long time, until she fell asleep.

"This kid is bitter in his heart. She lost her parents when she was young, and now even the relatives who raised her are gone. Mom said, wiping away tears.

"Mom, I want to marry Qu Xin, this is also her aunt's wish before she dies, do you think it's okay?"

When the words fell, my mother was obviously very happy. But after half a ring, he said with some embarrassment: "Of course it's good, Qu Xin, this kid, I also like it in my heart." But her aunt had just passed away, and although she was not a parent, she had the grace to raise her. Can she promise you at this juncture? ”

"I'm afraid of that, too, so I want you to help me find out her tone tomorrow."

Hearing this, my mother nodded and replied, "It's okay, then I'll ask her tomorrow." ”

A good night's sleep.

Early in the morning, I had just left the room. saw Qu Xin running out of the house with red eyes, and his mother followed out.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"I don't know! I went into the room this morning and asked her if she would like to marry you. Who knew that when this girl heard this, she was stunned for a long time and didn't speak. Later, he ran out crying. As she spoke, my mother was so anxious that she was wandering around.

Seeing that I was a little at a loss, he said, "Did I say something wrong that made this kid unhappy?" ”

I stepped forward and took her hand, and comforted her: "No, don't worry, Mom, it's none of your business." It should be my aunt who died, she was in a bad mood, I'll go over and take a look. ”

"Go ahead! Go see her! ”

I nodded, turned and ran out. At the place where the intersection turned, I saw Qu Xin.

It was still early, and there was no one on the road. She crouched alone in the corner, buried her head in her knees, and wept bitterly.

I looked at her and hesitated for a moment. Then, he stepped forward and hugged her into his arms.

I watched her lying on top of me, crying almost speechless, and I didn't know how to comfort her.

It was a long time before she stopped. He opened his mouth to me, and his voice sounded hoarse: "Let's go to the back mountain for a walk!" The words fell, and he walked ahead.

At the foot of the back mountain, there is a small river and the scenery is very good. It's just that since I had an accident here when I was a kid, almost no one has been here.

Along the way, Qu Xin didn't speak. It wasn't until she walked to the river that she stopped, turned to me and said, "Qi Fei, I can't marry you." ”

"Why?" Since my aunt died, I always felt that Qu Xin was a little abnormal, as if something was hidden from me.

"I have my own reasons, don't you ask?" She lowered her head and her shoulders trembled.

I looked at her and sighed softly, "What did my aunt tell you at the end of the day?" ”

"It's nothing, don't ask."
