After Ye Qian returned from sweeping the tomb of the Wang couple half a year ago, she mentioned her grandmother in her words, and it was the first time in ten years that she talked about her past in front of Qingyin, but at that time, the weather was cold and it had just snowed and it was not suitable to go up the mountain, so Qingyin did not take her back to Gushan to worship Han Yuan, so it has been delayed until now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Seeing Ye Qian's abnormal behavior yesterday and approaching Han Yuan's death day, Qingyin thought left and right, thinking that Ye Qian had always been simple-minded and had nothing to worry about, where would there be any troubles, maybe Mo Chou's marriage reminded her of her life experience, and remembered the relatives who had abandoned her? In the past ten years, Qingyin also knew in her heart that no matter how well he and the Wang couple treated Ye Qian, no matter how optimistic and cheerful she was, in fact, there would always be a lingering shadow in her heart. The past encounter was not only an extremely terrifying and sad dream for her, but also a knot that was difficult to untie. However, escaping is not the solution to the problem after all, so, on that sunny afternoon, Qingyin took Ye Qian back to Gushan in a carriage to sweep Han Yuan's tomb.

Ten years later, the Ye family has long moved away from Gushan, and only a few dilapidated wooden houses covered with cobwebs are still there halfway up the mountain. The apricot tree in front of the door, which had been cut off by lightning and only half of its stump, had somehow pulled out new branches from the side, and the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and maybe they would blossom again next year.

Ye Qian stood in front of the wooden house and was silent for a long time, frowning and not speaking, and did not mean to enter the house to have a look, his beautiful face was as calm as if he was stagnant, but he was holding the corner of his clothes tightly in his hand, because his fingertips were slightly white. Every grass and tree, every flower and stone here is still the same as back then, but things are not people. She had imagined seeing her biological parents again, and she had imagined countless times what she would say when she saw them, maybe saying, 'I didn't think I'd be alive, did I?' Thanks to you, I am alive and well! But it was gone, and she didn't even have a chance to show off, complain, or even want to ask, 'Why did you throw me into the mountains back then, and ignore my life or death.'"

She hated them, how could she not hate? When she was a young child, she was full of hope that her parents would treat her well, but her biological father threw her into the mountains to feed wild beasts, destroying all her hopes.

At that time, Ye Qian had just left the lonely mountain for a few days, and he would have nightmares every night, and in the dream, he was either chased by Qingjun or bitten by sharp snake teeth. It wasn't until later, with the company of Chenghuang by her side, and the care of Qingyin and the Wang couple, that she came out of that dream, in fact, she was also lucky, wasn't she?

Ye Qian looked intently at the empty wooden house, and after a long time, she pursed her lips and smiled with relief, laughing at how contradictory she was, hating them while thanking them for abandoning her, she would meet Qingyin, and she would change from a lonely middle girl to Ye Qian today. Thinking about it, she doesn't remember what her parents, grandfather, younger brothers and sisters are like, maybe they met by chance in Jimo City, and they don't know each other. In the past ten years, because of resentment, she has also forgotten to care for her grandmother. Hate, really tired, she is not ready to hate anymore, she just hopes that now they can live well in another place and everything can go well.

"Master, they ...... Are you okay? Ye Qian lowered his head and silently wiped the tears that slid across his cheeks, and after taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Qingyin not far away and asked.

Qingyin stood aside with her hands in her hands, and he was silent when Ye Qian didn't react, some of which were not helped by others, so she had to rely on herself. At this time, seeing that Ye Qian finally understood, he was also very pleased, stepped forward, and replied to her in a clear and elegant voice: "They are very good." He glanced at the decayed and dilapidated wooden house, and calmly described to Ye Qian the life of the Ye family after leaving the lonely mountain, "Three years ago, Ye Shen passed away, and when he died, he told Ye Yan to take his bones back to the ancestral grave of the Ye family for burial, Ye Yan obeyed his father's order to take his body, and the family left the lonely mountain and returned to South Korea, and since then they have lived in the old house of the Ye family in South Korea. Seeing that Ye Qian had been bowing her head and not saying a word, Qingyin sighed, touched her head and comforted: "You are destined to only have the fate of these six years in this life, and you can't ask for it." It is certainly wrong for them to give up their own flesh and blood, but people are actually cowardly and timid animals, and sometimes because of the fear of the unknown, they will do things against their will in order to protect themselves. ”

"Master, I understand. I won't hate them anymore, after all," she paused, her clear eyes were not stained, and she smiled slightly and continued, "After all, they gave me life, and I will have the fate to meet Master and Rhubarb." ”

"If only you could understand." Qingyin bowed slightly, looked at the distant mountains with his eyes, and said indifferently with a smile: "Things in the world, the origin and extinction, love and hate become empty, if you see too much, you will understand that everything is just illusory." ”

"Master......"

Qingyin was slightly stunned, looking at Ye Qian's slightly frowning and puzzled eyes, only to realize that he had said something with a child that he shouldn't have said, touched her head, restrained his mind, and said with a warm smile: "It's okay, Master just said casually." ”

Chenghuang didn't know the situation, only to see Ye Qian standing motionless in front of the wooden house as if he had something on his mind, Qingyin also stood silently aside and didn't speak, no one paid attention to him, curiosity, he thought there would be some good things in the wooden house, and ran in, looking left and right in a new way. When he came out again, his face was covered with dust, and his silver beard still had spider silk hanging from it, and he sat in front of the door of the wooden house, flicking his fur in frustration.

Cheng Huang shook the dust on the fluff while complaining to Ye Qian: "There's nothing in it, why are you so focused on Xiao Yezi!" The god of harm still thinks there is some treasure in it! ”

"Who told you you had a baby!" Ye Qian glanced at Chenghuang's funny appearance, couldn't help laughing, his mood eased a lot, he ran to Chenghuang's side and leaned over to help him dust with a handkerchief, and laughed at his embarrassed appearance: "Hahaha-rhubarb, you're going to turn into ashes!" ”

"Shh Chenghuang hung his head in frustration, and glanced at Ye Qian angrily, "Laugh, laugh, stupid girl with no heart and no lungs!" ”

Ye Qian was carefully removing the cobwebs hanging from his yellow beard, hearing what he said, he wrinkled his nose and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Why don't I have a heart and lungs, obviously you are!" As he spoke, he poked his finger at Chenghuang's head.

"You dare to be disrespectful to this god!" Cheng Huang grinned to express his anger and dissatisfaction, but then his head was knocked heavily by Ye Qian, "Meow! ”

Ye Qian stuck out his tongue triumphantly.

Cheng Huang was in a hurry, glanced at a white-clothed Qingyin not far away, and roared angrily: "Old immortal, you don't care about your good apprentice!" ”

Qingyin stood aside, helplessly listening to the noise of a man and a cat, but he didn't expect that suddenly the war would burn to him, frowned slightly, turned around and moved to the poplar tree ten steps away to find his own peace.

"......" looked at Qingyin's back as he walked away, and slowly lowered his paws raised by Chenghuang, "Woo-woo - no bullies like you, uh, cats!" ”

Ye Qian laughed twice, and finally cleaned up Chenghuang, she rubbed his fluffy fat cat face unscrupulously. Playing with Huang Douzui, Ye Qian's mood at this time was much better, not as heavy and depressed as when he went up the mountain. She understands that people cannot be resurrected after death, and only by living well and happily can they reassure their deceased grandmother.

Ye Qian got up, clapped his hands, straightened his dress, and walked briskly towards Qingyin, "Master, I want to go up the mountain to see my grandmother." ”

"Okay, Master will accompany you."

"Master, I want to talk to my grandmother alone for a while."

"Can one person?" Qingyin is still a little worried, the longer she lives, the more life and death she will see, and the more parting she will endure, but Ye Qian is still young now, and he can't bear some pain and sorrow for her, but at least he can accompany her to face it.

He nodded solemnly, "Well, I can do it myself." ”

"Okay, then Master will wait for you in front of the wooden house."

Cheng Huang ran over at some point, touched his paws on the old trunk of the poplar tree, and heard Qingyin actually agree to Ye Qian, stopped his movements, and replied disdainfully: "Where can she hear, the soul is ......" Before the words were finished, only a fragmented voice remained, and his round eyes looked at Qingyin who sealed his words. The secret whispered: "Old immortal, you have solved the spell of this god, Xiao Yezi's grandmother doesn't even have a ghost, who do you let her talk to?!" ”

Ye Qian looked at Cheng Huang, who was halfway through the words, a little puzzled, and looked at Qingyin along his line of sight, "Master, what's wrong with Rhubarb?" ”

Qingyin's face was calm, and he smiled lightly: "It's okay, I should have eaten some ashes and choked." You go, it's not too early, it's not easy to walk on the dark mountain road. ”

Chenghuang innocently stared at the round eyes, waving his little short legs to protest to Qingyin: "Meow, you just eat ashes!" ”

"Oh." Ye Qian nodded, looked at the sky and looked at the sky It was indeed not early, and then looked at Chenghuang uneasily, and instructed: "Master, Rhubarb doesn't look very comfortable, you help me take a look at him, I'll go first." ”

Qingyin bowed slightly, smiling elegantly and gently. Raising his finger lightly, he set up an enchantment on Ye Qian's way up the mountain. Cheng Huang looked at the enchantment and was even more angry, didn't he say that he was troublesome with the enchantment, what was he doing! Cheng Huang puffed up leaning on the poplar tree, until Ye Qian walked away, his back disappeared from sight, and he still turned his head to pay attention to Qingyin.

Looking at Cheng Huang's awkward appearance, Qingyin couldn't help laughing, and he had no intention of explaining anything to him, so he casually untied the forbidden spell. Because he disliked the dust of Cheng Huang's body, he stood at a distance from him, and his elegant and warm voice implied a smile, "Cheng Huang, there is an evil ghost nearby, you went to collect him." ”

Chenghuang blew his beard, full of dissatisfaction, "Why am I?" ”

Qingyin was good-tempered and explained, "Because you are a divine beast. ”

"What's wrong with the beast? Deserving to be bullied? ”

"That evil demon has devoured a lot of souls, if you subdue him, you will have at least a hundred years of cultivation."

"What?" Cheng Huang's eyes were round, his dark eyes were full of starlight, he looked around with his head tilted, and said, "Where is it?!" ”

After the slender jade finger pointed to a tree trunk outside the enchantment, it was the soldier ghost who devoured Han Yuan's soul back then. In ten years, he didn't know how many souls he devoured, because there was enough yang energy in Jimo City, and the cultivation of soldiers and ghosts couldn't get close, so he didn't chase Ye Qian down the mountain, but the unconscious low-level evil ghosts were just relying on instinctive activities, and it decided that Ye Qian would not give up. When Qingyin rescued Ye Qian ten years ago, he didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the world, so he would ignore it, but now goodbye, how could he let it go easily!

Divine beasts and ghosts are not in the same realm, it does not have evil thoughts, and it is difficult for Chenghuang to perceive its existence. As soon as Qingyin pointed out the location of the soldier ghost, he flew out of the enchantment and swallowed the soldier ghost alive without much effort, and the disparity in strength was so great that the latter didn't even have a chance to resist.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Huang squatted in front of the wooden house again, wrinkling his face and calling it unpalatable. But because it is a divine beast, he can purify the evil qi of the soldier ghost, and the soul that is devoured by the soldier ghost will also be redeemed and reincarnated, which naturally includes Ye Qian's grandmother, Han Yuan did not have a soul at that time, but just lost reincarnation, and Qingyin did this as a little compensation for Ye Qian.

Han Yuan's grave is overgrown with weeds, and if she is not familiar with the road, I am afraid that she will not be able to find the location of the grave.

Ye Qian knelt in front of the grave, carefully cleaning up the weeds on the grave, Han Yuan was kind and gentle and even a little weak before her death, and she paid her whole life for her husband and grandchildren, but after her death, she lay here alone, and there was no one who came to pay tribute to her. Some weeds had burrs, Ye Qian's fingers were inadvertently scratched, and blood beads gushed out, and she didn't notice it, she just desperately wanted to get rid of the weeds on the grave, and pull out all the weeds in her heart.

The vision gradually blurred, and Ye Qian muttered while pulling the grass: "Grandmother, the middle daughter has come back to see you!" Snorted, "It's my unfilial piety, I haven't thought about coming back to see my grandmother for ten years!" Everything that happened on the lonely mountain was something she didn't want to face, and in those six years, she never had a warm memory except for Han Yuan being the only warmth. She didn't want to remember her sadness anymore, reminiscing about the past when she was abandoned, and forgetting Han Yuan with her.

Ye Qian wiped the tears on his face, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Grandmother, you see that the middle daughter has grown up, and the master also gave me a new name called 'Ye Qian', isn't it nice?" The middle daughter has had a very happy life in the past few years, I listened to my grandmother's words, live well, live very seriously, grandmother, you can rest assured. ”

smiled and smiled, but frowned again, and sighed, "Grandmother said to the middle daughter that you must know how to be a man and always be grateful. After cleaning up the last weed, Ye Qian hugged her knees, sat on the edge of Han Yuan's grave, and said to herself: "But the middle girl has forgotten it......" She looked down at her hands, her fingers were sharpened, and her skin was fair and moist, while her small hands ten years ago were thick calluses, "Without Master, maybe I would have been out of this world a long time ago." I have the opportunity to help Master repay him for his kindness in the past ten years, and to be able to be by his side all the time, I should be content, and I shouldn't be so greedy, right? She was silent for a long time, and all she could answer was the occasional breeze.

After a long time, when the remnant sun gradually disappeared in the West Mountain, Ye Qian smiled with relief, looked up at the sky, and the twilight was like a big net, quietly scattered, enveloping the entire lonely mountain. The afterglow of the setting sun, which turned into eternity at this moment, will remain in the deepest part of her memory forever. Ye Qian got up and patted the soil on her dress, and said reluctantly: "Grandmother, the middle daughter is leaving, and she may not be able to come to see you for a long time, but," she smiled and patted her chest, "Grandmother will always live in the middle daughter's heart." If the grandmother reincarnated and doesn't remember the middle daughter......" took a deep breath and thought for a while: "If you don't remember, you won't remember, just remember to live happily!" ”

It was already dark when the two of them and the cat returned to Yaqu. The boundless ink smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars, so I thought it would rain at night, and after this autumn rain, the weather would slowly get cooler.

The carriage stopped at the door of Yaqu, Qingyin got out of the car first and paid the coachman the rest of the road fee except for the deposit, Ye Qian hugged Chenghuang and then got out of the car. The carriage drove away leisurely, and the horse's hooves trampled on the loess road, and there was a clattering sound, and it gradually moved away.

Cheng Huang trotted all the way to the door and waited for the door to open, and looked back to see Ye Qian standing motionless at the intersection, "Hey! Xiao Yezi, when you get home, what are you stunned about? ”

Qingyin walked slowly to Ye Qian's side, dressed in white, free and easy, in the dark night without moon and stars, he was the dissolved moon, clear and bright. smiled gently, and called in a low voice: "Shallow? ”

"Huh?" Ye Qian looked at Qingyin, then at the teahouse hidden in the twilight, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Master has said that he will give me Yaqu as a dowry, right?" ”

Qingyin was slightly stunned, and then bowed slightly, "This was originally the plan." ”

"So it's mine?"

"Yes."

"I can do whatever I want?"

Qingyin didn't know what Ye Qian was going to do, but looking at her mysterious appearance, she only felt funny, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can do whatever you want." ”

Ye Qian took a few steps closer and looked around, Yaqu was drowned in the night and couldn't see clearly, but she was familiar with every corner of it, this was the place where she had lived for ten years, and there had been countless laughter and laughter. After a little hesitation, he said, "Master, after this winter, let's get out of here!" She knew that Qingyin was in a hurry to find the soul fragment, but she didn't tell her about it. Although Ye Qian couldn't feel it, it was not a way to just wait for the rabbit in the elegant taste.

Qingyin rarely showed a slightly surprised look, he thought about leaving Jimo City, but he didn't know how to talk to Ye Qian, after all, Ye Qian regarded this place as his home, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to propose it today. "Shallow, you don't have to ......"

Ye Qian smiled sweetly, and the pear vortex sank lightly, "Master, I want to go to Chu Country to see" pretending to be sad, and then continued: "But I am very reluctant to ...... the winter snow scene in Jimo City."

Qingyin's eyelashes drooped, looking at Ye Qian, who was touching his chin and contemplation, frowning slightly, not knowing how to answer her for a while, after a short hesitation, he saw Ye Qian turn his head to look at him, his good-looking eyes were clear and bright, and he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "So Master, let's go after the first snow, okay?" ”

Qingyin was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay." His face was so calm that he didn't see any joy or anger.

Cheng Huang waited impatiently at the door, knocked on the door with his tail in boredom, looked at the sky speechlessly, and then roared: "You two are still finished!" Can't you say anything in there? ”

"Here we are!" Ye Qianran smiled, stuck out his tongue mischievously, took the key from Qingyin's hand, lifted the hem of his skirt and ran to open the door for Chenghuang.

Qingyin stood in place and looked at Ye Qian's back and frowned slightly, thoughtfully, the child who looked like a big grin actually had an understanding and exquisite heart, but his chest suddenly felt empty at this moment.
