Chapter 32: The Heart of Prosperity (Part II)
His heart gradually softened, he took the wooden box she handed over, opened the lid, took out the neatly folded rice paper inside, and spread it out, he gasped. The person in the painting is simply another him, with the same gentle eyes and handsome face, but the eyes of the person in the painting are purer and more like a scholar.
"The person in this portrait is your father?"
When Youchen set him as a man, he deliberately chose a handsome face for him, which was really a coincidence, and it was exactly the same as Yingying's father.
"Daddy, since you left, my mother has fallen ill, Yingying takes care of her mother alone, everyone else has the love of her father, Yingying has no ......" Her pitiful little appearance made him unable to refuse ruthlessly, he laughed softly: "Good boy, Daddy won't leave you anymore, what about your mother?" ”
"Inside." She pointed to the garden, "My mother slept in it, and Yingying has always been by my mother's side, and wild dogs are not allowed to come." ”
Qu Sang glanced at Mu Ran, Mu Ran looked dazed, he didn't understand what Qu Sang meant by squeezing his eyebrows, he glanced at him indifferently, and pulled Ling Cui into it first.
"Envoy, they're in, should we follow up?"
After hesitating for a while, Qingli responded in a low voice: "Let's wait and see what happens, I'm just afraid that it won't be peaceful inside." "The Yin Qi of the Plum Garden is very heavy, not to mention the weight of the parked corpses, the corpse demon alone is difficult enough. She didn't worry about them going rashly, and she was even more worried about the girl who pestered Qu Sang to call her father, who knew if the little girl who was an ancient detective would deliberately use a bitter meat trick to lure them into the bait.
The huge garden was dark at night, and when I walked into the side courtyard, I saw a candle lit in one of the wings from afar, and Yingying broke away from Qu Sang's hand and trotted all the way. Eventually, she stopped at the doorway, scratching her cheeks as if she was struggling with whether to push it open. Hearing footsteps approaching behind her, she gently pushed open the door and walked straight to the bed.
"Mother, Daddy is back, when will you wake up? Uncle Mage said that you will wake up soon, mother, wake up quickly......" For fear of waking up the people in the house, Yingying's voice was very low, and when Qu Sang and the others walked into the house, she turned her head and whispered to them: "Daddy, be quiet." ”
Mu Ran was the first to notice the abnormality, and the person lying upright on the bed wrapped in a bright red robe, no, it should be a corpse that has been dead for a long time, without popularity, and with a strong yin aura. He walked quickly to the corpse, the woman's cheeks were sunken, her face was blue and gray, and her eyebrows were faintly bubbling with a blue and black ghostly aura, the corpse was already faintly revealing a faint corpse aura, but there was no trace of corruption.
"She's been dead for a long time."
After finishing speaking, Ying Ying whispered: "I know, my mother has been dead for three months, and at that time, the mage uncle said that as long as you keep it well, your mother will soon come back to life." Turning to Qu Sang and saying, "When my mother comes back to life, will my father take us to Jingshi?" ”
Qu Sang was shocked, this girl had been accompanying a corpse for three months, and her dead mother was just asleep in her eyes, and there were many corpses in this Yizhuang, wasn't she afraid at all? When she said the word "death", there was no trace of panic, so it was so natural, the clouds were light, was she really just an ordinary child?
"Yingying, your mother is dead, and when a person dies, his soul will go to the underworld, reincarnate, and he will not come back to life." He pulled her and said in a loud voice, she looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, she shook off his hand and pounced on the corpse: "Mother, wake up quickly, Daddy doesn't believe you will come back to life, wake up quickly......"
As soon as the words fell, the wind suddenly blew open the window, the red candle was extinguished suddenly, the awe-inspiring yin wind raised a burst of misty sand, and the heavy curtains in the house blew loudly, and Ling Cui hid in Mu Ran's arms in horror. They felt suddenly someone pass by, and the strong stench of corpses was suffocating.
"Yingying, come here!" Qu Sang exclaimed, and was groping for the side of the bed, when suddenly, the candle automatically lit up again, and the misty sand swept away the messy pages in front of the window, and the window was closed again with a "clang". When the candlelight went out, they suddenly remembered something and looked towards the bed, and all three of them were shocked that the body parked on the bed was gone.
"Mother, where did Mother go?" Ying Ying fell to the ground, and when she saw that the bed was empty, she burst into tears, "Mother, where have you been?" ”
In the past three years, only her mother and daughter have depended on each other, and the huge manor has suddenly become decayed due to her father's departure. The people in the house have all left, and all that can be sold are sold, most of them are used as severance pay, and a small part is reserved for the life of the mother and daughter. The people of the town saw that her orphans and widows were easy to bully, and forcibly used their remote house as a righteous village, and after that, no one set foot further.
Qu Sang half-knelt and held Ying Ying in his arms, he had been loved by his parents and brothers since he was a child, and seeing this poor child suffer from ups and downs, out of sympathy, he still accepted her softly. Even if a daughter appears for no reason, there is no fuss, but he doesn't want to be a father, if he calls him a mother, maybe he will be beautiful.
"I guess she'll be back." Mu Ran frowned, thought for a while, and muttered: "This house is weird, it will inevitably cause trouble again, let's leave here immediately, Ling Cui, can you hold on for a while?" ”
Qu Sang patted Yingying's shoulder and coaxed softly, "Daddy will take you out of here, okay?" ”
"What about the mother? Don't we want a mother? She blinked her round eyes, her dark eyes rolling around, and convinced that her mother was not playing a game of hide and seek with her, she tugged at the sleeve of her coat and begged, "Daddy, will you wait another night?" If my mother doesn't come back to us, I'll go with my father. ”
"If you want to stay, I will take Ling Cui away." Mu Ran hugged Ling Cui and was about to withdraw, but Qu Sang hurriedly stopped him: "We came together, do you cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
"I'm not like you, I just recognize a daughter casually, I don't have more time to spend with you." He grabbed Qu Sang's shirt and shouted: "You saw it just now, that corpse has become a corpse demon, not an ordinary monster, you have compassion to stay, there is no need for us to accompany you." ”
"Mu Ran." Ling Cui said softly: "I don't care about the time of this night, we have just entered the ghost moon now, even if we don't stop working, we may not necessarily find Ranjing Lake, everything depends on fate." ”
He really only listened to this woman's words, and he would obey whatever she said, Qu Sang was stunned, broke away from Mu Ran's hand, and walked out with Ying Ying in his arms.
