Zhu Yan asked in a low voice beside him, "Everyone, outside... What about those people outside? ”

"They're not human at all, they're all living dead who have been controlled by the worms, and they're burned with fire." With that, I turned around and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Pu Zhi said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face: "Thank you for your help this time." The nine-tailed cat demon is very difficult to kill, I will take it away and seal it, and I will not let it come out to harm people in the future. ”

I nodded and said loudly, "It's too late today, and the master doesn't have to rush to leave." Rest for the night and leave tomorrow! ”

"No, no. I must hurry away, and if the old immortal finds out that I have stolen his treasure first, it will definitely not be finished with me. As the words fell, he hummed a song and left with a big sting.

Liu Qiming took Shi Jingsong's ghost to the underworld first, and Zhu Yan stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.

That night, the few of us set off for Nancheng.

I didn't sleep all night, and I was going to go back to rest and rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door of the store, he saw a figure in front of the door.

The person who came dressed in a white dress stood facing the rising sun, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the country and the city were captivated. This person is the Qu Yan who has not been seen for a long time.

Seeing this, Qu Xin trotted forward a few steps and said happily: "Sister, why are you here." ”

Seeing Qu Yan, Mu Feng seemed to be stunned for a moment. After half a ring, he also greeted her with a smile. He Ling looked a little unnatural, looked at the two of them, and turned his head awkwardly to the side.

Qu Yan first nodded politely to greet everyone, and then opened his mouth to Qu Xin with an ugly expression: "My aunt is sick, it's very serious." She usually loves you the most, so come back with me to see her one last time. ”

When the words fell, Qu Xin's smile instantly froze on his face. After half a ring, he came back to his senses, and his face was full of disbelief: "How come?" My aunt is usually in such good health, how can she say that she is sick? ”

Hearing this, Qu Yan's expression also carried a hint of sadness, and he replied in a choked voice: "A sudden illness suddenly collapsed." ”

"How is it possible, I don't believe it." Qu Xin's tears dripped down the corners of his eyes, and he shouted excitedly.

I pulled her into my arms and reached out on her back and stroked her back: "Don't be like this, calm down." We'll go back right now. ”

As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Mu Feng: "Help explain to my mother, you take care of it at home, and I'll accompany Qu Xin back to have a look." ”

"Don't worry, you can drive back, you can hurry. I went home to Curiti. Mu Feng nodded and replied.

We arrived at the foot of the mountain in the early hours of the next morning. The fog in the mountains was heavy in the morning, and when we arrived at Qu Xin's house, our clothes were almost soaked.

Qu Yi was standing in front of the door, and when he saw us, he took a few steps forward. After nodding at me, he opened his mouth to Qu Xin again: "Come in, my aunt is waiting for you!" ”

A few of us entered the door and went straight to the room in the southwest corner.

The furnishings in the room were as usual, and in front of the bed in the middle of the room stood a middle-aged woman in a purple robe, with her back to us. Although I can't see her expression, I can feel the lonely appearance even from the back. The woman is Qu Xin's mother-in-law.

She turned around, beckoned to Qu Xin, and said, "The person she wants to see most now is you, come here." ”

We took a few steps forward to see that my aunt was lying on the bed, already emaciated.

Qu Xin knelt in front of the bed and cried silently: "Auntie... Auntie, how can this be, how can this be......"

With the crying, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes: "The girl is back, don't cry, don't cry." My aunt has lived too long and is tired for a long time. As she spoke, she reached out and stroked Qu Xin's face gently.

After half a ring, he slowly turned his gaze to me: "The person I can't rest assured about now is Xin Xin." Qi Fei, after I leave, you have to take good care of her and marry her back quickly. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of her." I don't know if I think too much, but when she said this, I always felt a little panicked and sad.

She stared at Qu Xin for a moment and looked carefully: "You all go out, let Xin Xin accompany me for a while." ”

The mother-in-law looked at the two of them fixedly, didn't say anything, and turned to leave. The crowd followed and went out.

When I was close to the door, she told me again: "Remember my words, hurry up and marry Xin Xin, you know?" ”

"Okay." I looked at her and nodded earnestly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qu Xin walked out of the room. The whole person looks like a drained doll, unable to lift a trace of energy. There were two lines of tears on his face that had not yet been wiped off, his eyes were blank, and his expression was dull.

I suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness in my heart, and I ran up a few steps in fear and hugged her into my arms.

After half a ring, Qu Xin's heart-rending cry came from his arms: "Auntie......"

After everyone rushed into the room, they saw that my aunt had already lost her breath. For Qu Xin, although it was her mother-in-law who saved her and adopted her. But it was her aunt who took care of her growing up, and her aunt was more like a mother to her.

Qu Yi and Qu Yan also cried profusely. Only the mother-in-law looked a little calmer. But from her trembling body, it can still be seen that her mood fluctuates at this time.

After half a ring, she suddenly said to me, "Since it is her wish, then you can get married." The words fell, not looking at us, and turned away.

The aftermath of my aunt was handled by Qu Yi. Qu Xin has almost not eaten a drop of water in the past few days, and the whole person is haggard.

Since that day, the mother-in-law has not been seen. It was only after the mourning period that we found a note in her room:

Son's Enlightenment:

I'm out, and you don't have to look for me. In the third drawer under the cabinet in the house, there is a wooden box, which is the wedding gift I prepared for Xiao Xin. Yan Yan still has unfinished business, so let's go down the mountain with them. Quyi stayed at home to guard. Don't miss it!

Qu Yi stared at the door for a long time. After half a ring, he seemed to smile helplessly and said, "Since my mother-in-law has explained, let's do it." Pack up and leave as soon as possible. With that, he turned and left.

Qu Yan caught up a few steps forward and grabbed his sleeve: "Qu Yi, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand to stop him: "Everyone has their own life, I'm fine, don't worry about me." With that, he went straight into the room without looking back.

Qu Yan was left standing in place, still holding his hand to pull him.

Early the next morning, the three of us went down the mountain together.
