The thinly sliced ginseng slices tumbled up and down with the boiling water, and Tsing Yi stood by the side, pinching the hour and simmering for two quarters of an hour, until the rich medicinal fragrance of ginseng wafted away, she turned off the heat and poured out the ginseng soup.

In addition to the ginseng slices, there are a few red and plump wolfberries in the clear and slightly yellow ginseng soup, and Tsing Yi casually put a spoonful of brown sugar in his hand, and then went to the second floor.

The old couple had already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, and if it weren't for Tsing Yi boiling ginseng soup every day to hang them in the past few days, I am afraid that at this time, they would have already choked their breath.

As soon as daylight comes, the second floor looks clean. After a night of empty guard, he failed to catch a single mortal who was traveling at night, and the hungry monsters salivated a little when they looked at Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi walked straight past the monsters with the ginseng soup with an expressionless face, and then stood in front of the door of the old couple's room.

There seemed to be a faint muttering sound from time to time, Tsing Yi knocked on the door familiarly, and then a person ran over to help her open the door.

The person who opened the door was Fei Shusheng, he looked very haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew at a glance that he must have stayed up all night in fear.

"Tsing Yi, you're here." Fei Shusheng didn't sleep all night, only to feel that his eyes were dry and swollen, he was talking to Tsing Yi, and he raised his sleeves to rub his eyes, but when he saw the few dark red blood spots splashed on his sleeves, he put his hand down again.

Tsing Yi didn't say much, took the ginseng soup and walked inside, and said at the same time: "How are they doing now?" ”

"Xiao Sheng doesn't know ......," Fei Shusheng sighed a little hesitantly, "The livestock and beasts have put a bunch of blood, and Xiao Sheng just looked at his round body and kept tossing his round body, but he didn't see any effect at all." Xiaosheng is very worried about Yuanyuan, and she is still not at peace after death, don't you want to delay her reincarnation? ”

Tsing Yi didn't answer, it was only a few steps from the door to the inner room, and in a few sentences, she had already walked into the inner room.

The inner room was like yesterday, and several beasts were hanging, and the overflowing blood was like substance, which made Tsing Yi's chest feel stuffy for a while.

The old man in the navy blue robe was squinting at the bright lantern, and his wrinkled old face looked like the bark of an old tree.

Tsing Yi frowned at the translucent light in his hand that was getting longer and longer, if she hadn't been dazzled, that lifeline seemed to be dissipating?

"Ahem, cough, cough—" The old man who was concentrating on drawing the lifeline suddenly bowed his head and coughed violently, and his hand shook, and the lifeline in his hand disappeared completely.

"The ginseng soup is here." Tsing Yi sent the ginseng soup to the old man in a timely manner, and said coldly at the same time, "You don't have much yang shou to smoke, according to your current situation, no matter how much ginseng soup I boil, I can't hang your life." You better plan to release the doll's soul from this doll, or when you all die, she will have to live forever in this skin. ”

The old man finally stopped coughing, he covered his chest hard, his face was purple and red, he straightened his neck and panted, and only after half a sound did he say with difficulty: "Thank you, little lady...... It's just my old mother-in-law...... Still waiting to say goodbye to the doll. I haven't given her a good life in my life, and now before I die, I want to round that idea for her......"

"I naturally don't care what you want, I just read that kid and befriended the nerd and Xiuxiu, and persuaded him in vain." Tsing Yi sighed, "Now let's drink the ginseng soup to nourish your vitality." ”

The old man stood up tremblingly and took the ginseng soup, first poured half of it himself, and then moved it to the edge of the bed with great difficulty, and carefully fed the remaining ginseng soup to the half-awake old woman.

Fei Shusheng circled around the motionless puppet-like doll with a burnt face, and when he was about to open his mouth to urge the old man to continue, when he saw that the old man was very considerate to wipe off the overflowing ginseng soup for the old woman, he was a little unable to open his mouth.

Tsing Yi was dizzy by the constantly spinning Fei Shusheng, and finally couldn't help but reach out and grab Fei Shusheng's arm and whispered: "Be calm, go back and follow me to the kitchen, look at your face, don't pour some ginseng soup, I'm afraid that Ming'er will be sick again." ”

"It's okay to be small, it's okay." Fei Shusheng also said that Tsing Yi cared about him, and he was very moved at the moment, and he was busy thanking him, "Thank you Tsing Yi for your concern-"

"I don't care about you." Tsing Yi let go of his hand angrily and muttered, "I'm crying out for Spider Niang, you were sick last time, but you didn't tire her less." ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Sheng turned around and thanked Spider Niang again." Fei Shusheng said again and again with a guilty face, "It's all Xiaosheng who has dragged you down." ”

Tsing Yi asked Fei Shusheng to lose her temper, and after shaking her head helplessly, she went to look at the doll again.

I saw that the doll's little face was pale, with a pair of big godless eyes, sitting motionless on the ground. Tsing Yi stared at her lifeless eyes for a long time, but she didn't see anything.

Didn't Kurosaburo say that she would come back during the day? Looking at it this way, it is clear that it is just an empty shell.

The old man over there struggled to feed the ginseng soup, and the old woman who was on the verge of death finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Tsing Yi listened to her wheezing sound like a dilapidated firebox, and couldn't help but feel that she was so hard to survive, and the torture she suffered was probably heavier than the pain.

The old woman who woke up struggled to deflect her eyes, babbling and raising her right hand, which was covered with brown spots, and shaking it in the direction of the doll.

The old man on the side grabbed her hand and comforted her: "I know, I know, I will cure the doll immediately, old woman, don't worry-"

"Baby-" A tear silently flowed from the old woman's cloudy eyes, and just one word made her a little out of breath. So she shuddered again, raised her left hand and pointed at herself and whined.

"Alas...... I know, I-know......" The old man, who had always been forbearing, finally couldn't hold back his tears, he subconsciously avoided Tsing Yi and Fei Shusheng, turned his head away, and then covered his face and cried silently.

As soon as he saw the old man shrugging his shoulders and tears in his eyes, Tsing Yi turned around with some embarrassment and looked at the panicked Fei Shusheng.

Thanks to the old man's retraction very quickly, but he shook his shoulders a few times, and he immediately suppressed his sadness, sank his face, grabbed the old woman's hand, and pulled the lifeline.

After the silver thread was pulled out, the old woman's breathing, which was already hanging by a thread, became weaker and weaker, and in the end, all that was left was the dull and short sound of pushing the firebox.

Fei Shusheng subconsciously clenched his hand and looked at the old man without blinking.

Tsing Yi bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then took off the lantern on the beam of the room and walked to the old man to illuminate him.

With the lantern, the old man felt that his vision suddenly brightened up a lot, and he was grateful, but his face did not appear, he only squinted and concentrated on touching the cracks on the doll's body to carefully repair them.

For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of the old woman's heavy breathing and the thin crumbling of lifelines piercing through flesh.

I don't know how long it took, Tsing Yi, who was carrying the lantern, felt that his arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it, and the old man who was busy repairing it breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It can be regarded as a ......."

Tsing Yi was also very relieved when she heard this, she gritted her teeth and moved her sour arm, and she didn't forget to confirm in her mouth: "That's it?" No need to infuse blood or something? ”

The old man looked up at Tsing Yi in a little surprise, and was looked at by the old man's gloomy eyes, Tsing Yi reacted instantly, she peeked at the process of them making dolls several times, and at this time, she accidentally said that she missed her mouth.

Just when Tsing Yi took a step back a little embarrassed, the old man sighed as if he wanted to open it and said: "Little lady, don't be afraid, the old man is not annoyed that the method of making dolls leaks, but the skill of making dolls, which is really too yin and evil, and hurts yin morality, it is just for ordinary people, it is definitely not a good thing." Now I know in my heart that after death, we will both be suffering. I look at the little lady, you are kind-hearted, and you are a sensible person, you will never learn this evil thing. Now please ask the little lady to stand aside, don't let the old man drag you down. ”

Tsing Yi took a step back and said in a low voice: "I didn't plan to help you do it, so you should quickly release the confinement on the doll." ”

As she spoke, she tilted her head at Fei Shusheng again, signaling him not to step forward.

Fei Shusheng was already a little stupid, he didn't notice Tsing Yi's hints, and just stared at the doll.

That's fine.

Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then watched the old man exchange blood for the doll without blinking.

After the wound on the doll's neck was also sewn up, the doll, who had been lifeless, suddenly blinked.

"Oh, doll, what do you think?" The old man hurriedly asked, "Can you stand up?" Come, go and see your mother-in-law, she's been worried about you for a long time—"

The doll didn't seem to hear what the old man said again, so she just got up crookedly. Then she raised her head and glanced at several people around her one by one with an expressionless face, and when she saw Fei Shusheng who was holding her breath and looking excited, her godless eyes instantly lit up.

"Sir-" The doll swooped into Fei Shusheng's arms at an unprecedented speed, "Sir, you're going to take Yuanyuan home, aren't you?" ”

Fei Shusheng subconsciously hugged the doll's shoulder and smiled: "Yuanyuan-"

"Doll-" The old man's exclamation followed, he staggered forward two steps, but fell to the ground because of weakness, he raised his head with tears in his eyes and called, "Doll, you are thinking about your mother-in-law's sake, can you send her off?" Doll--I beg you-"

The old woman's breath on the bed became shorter and shorter, and Tsing Yi frowned unconsciously when she heard it, and saw Fei Shusheng hugging the doll tightly with a panicked look, and her brows wrinkled even deeper.

"She only has her last breath left." Tsing Yi had no choice but to persuade, "You just let the doll send her, don't forget, how to free the doll's soul depends on this old man." ”

Fei Shusheng was a little unbearable, all because he was afraid that the old woman would be unfavorable to the doll, so he hesitated, and after listening to Tsing Yi's words at this time, he felt that it was very right.

So he bit his teeth, let go of the doll fiercely, and whispered: "Go ahead, she has been your mother for so long, although she used the wrong method." Now that she's going to die, no matter how big the mistake is, it's time to let go of it. ”

The doll tilted her head a little incomprehensibly, until Fei Shusheng gently pushed her towards the old man, she reacted, twisted her body, but hugged Tsing Yi's waist again and said in a panic: "I don't want it, I don't want it, I want to go home-"

The old man's face turned gray all of a sudden, and Tsing Yi reached out and touched the doll's head with a headache, only to feel that the tentacles were cold.

The old woman on the bed had already straightened up, and reached out vigorously to grab it in mid-air, only howling in her throat. Even though the old man hurried over and held her down, she still struggled desperately in the direction of the doll.

"It's all obsession!" Tsing Yi sighed, squatted down and looked at the doll's eyes with pity, and said, "She is also pitiful, she has been waiting for you for a few days, if she didn't want to hear you call her, she would have died a long time ago." You should only sympathize with her, let her hug her, and after today, you will never see her again. ”

"Zai-" the doll repeated with her eyes wide open, "can't see? Can't see it again? ”

"Hmm." Tsing Yi nodded, turned her body around, and gently pushed in the direction of the bed, "Go, this is the last one." ”

The doll moved to the edge of the bed in a daze, and let the dying old woman take her in her arms.

"Wa-wa-" The old woman hugged the doll tightly with tears, her hand was already shaking uncontrollably, but she still insisted on raising her hand and touching the doll's face.

She cried and smiled kindly, and looked at the doll very reluctantly.

The doll looked at the old woman blankly, until the wrinkled hand on her face fell weakly, and she did not make a move.

She raised her hand stiffly, and gently pressed it against the old woman's wrinkled old face, and then she watched the light in the old woman's eyes fade like a candle extinguished by the wind.

"Mother-in-law?" The doll, who didn't understand why the old man was crying, slapped the old woman's face heavily, but she didn't react.

She turned her head to look at Tsing Yi and Fei Shusheng in confusion, as if waiting for them to explain.

Tsing Yi sighed deeply, looking at the old woman's serene face, she thought to herself, it is estimated that before she died, she was also happy in her heart......
