Chapter 25: Deliberation

The man sitting in the chair moved his lips and said in a seemingly flat voice:

"Yuan Cheng has already had an accident, I don't want anything to happen to you again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

So it was, it turned out to be that's all.

Probably because I'm afraid that I'll make things messier after I die, it's normal.

Jiuzhong closed the window and sat down opposite Chen Lan.

After glancing at Yuan Cheng on the bed, she said firmly: "You're not his scholar, are you?" I always felt like you were brothers. ”

Chen Lan said: "He saved my life. A long time ago, when I was lying in the suburbs with a serious injury, he said to a monk, since all beings are equal, why can't you save this snake demon? ”

Chen Lan just told her identity as a snake demon. He didn't have time to care about how Kuju reacted. Whether he is afraid or avoids, he accepts it.

However, Kuju only sighed slightly.

They kept Yuan Cheng all night, and that night, Yuan Cheng's body suddenly moved violently several times, as if he was suffering great pain. Just when Chen Lan couldn't wait, it was dawn, and a letter fell beside him.

It said: You and Jiuzhong come back together, you don't have to take Yuan Cheng with you.

This is the handwriting of the Empty Dust Mage.

After instructing the servants not to tell Yuan Cheng's situation for the time being, Chen Lan left with Jiuzhong. They had to walk out of the city because the streets were full of people today, and they couldn't ride horses or cars.

Jiuju followed closely behind Chen Lan, and Chen Lan also walked very slowly, afraid of leaving her behind. It wasn't until the two of them finally squeezed out of the crowd and reached a slightly open place that they could see what was happening.

There was a crowd of men in front of the yamen. Some of them appeared to be from nearby villages.

They didn't need to inquire about anything, because these men were arguing loudly with the people of the yamen. They said, "There are a lot of singles in our villages, and they will make trouble, so you can't just blame anything, you have to solve the problem of their marriage." ”

The people of the yamen also looked at this matter and asked an older man to go in and discuss it properly.

Chen Lan's first reaction was to look back at Jiuzhong. Kuju squeezed out a smile and said, "Every time I hear them say something like that, I feel like they're poking a knife in the heart of someone like me." ”

Then the next moment, Kue's hand was hot. She looked up in surprise, thinking that Chen Lan had inadvertently touched her hand.

But after the other party looked at her deeply, he held her hand even harder.

He took her by the warm hand and walked forward without looking back. What the people around him were shouting and saying, Kuju couldn't hear it at all. All she could feel was the warmth of that hand, as hot as her heart. The heat burned into her face, and she couldn't help but bow her head and follow the man forward quickly.

No one will speak for you, no one will care about the cries of the dead and the survivors, yes. But as long as I'm here, I want to hold your hand and pull you to my chest, which is the closest place to love in the world.

The people were busy watching what was going on in front of the yamen, and no one noticed their audacity. After Chen Lan and Jiuzhong left the city, Jiuzhong also clenched Chen Lan's hand slightly. The two men who were holding each other walked to the carriage before letting go of their hands.

A day later, the two finally arrived at the temple. Kongchen sat in the meditation room, not moving, just raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the two people who walked into the room.

After Jiuju, who was originally quite calm, entered the meditation room, the whole person was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Huai to lie in this meditation room, his face like ash, and his lips were as pale as a dead man.

Jiuju walked over unsteadily, and after all the voices had been brewing for a long time, she didn't say the two syllables of the sect leader, nor did she say the two syllables of Xu Huai, she called him: "Father." ”

As soon as he said the word father, tears flowed down his face.

That time, kneeling in front of him, he said what he was thanking for the grace of nurturing, but in his heart he complained that he refused to save Miss Lian, and there was not much real gratitude. She was like a child who was angry with her father.

Now she finally knew how to thank him for raising her, and Ken thought he was a good father, but he lay there as if he were dead.

She knew that it was not good to cry loudly in the temple, so she suppressed her voice, but the crying made people look even more uncomfortable. Chen Lan walked over and helped the empty dust up.

Kongchen: "You want me out?" ”

Chen Lan said lightly: "If you are here, she won't dare to cry." ”

Kongchen shook his head helplessly, counted the rosary and walked out. Before going out, he looked at Chen Lan and asked, "You're not leaving?" ”

Chen Lan looked at him without saying anything.

The dust immediately left.

In fact, Jiuju was not directly picked up at the beginning. She was picked up by four families one after another, and the son of the first family made a big noise, saying that he couldn't support her, so the woman sent her out again. After the second family raised her for a few days, she still couldn't accept the question of blood, and felt that she was raising a child for someone else's family, so she was also sent out. The remaining two families discussed for a long time, calculating the gains and losses of raising her.

At this time, the people from the Shuiyun Sect came, and after seeing this, they went back and told Xu Huai about the matter.

Xu Huai pushed aside the people around the table, directly picked up the baby who was placed on the table for discussion, and said without question:

"I raise her."

After the sentence "I raised her", it was followed by twelve years of getting along day and night.

Xu Huai didn't want her to know the disgusting faces of several adults haggling around the child, so he said that he picked her up from heaven.

"You see, when you were born, you had the word Nine Folds on the back of your hand, which means that you should have been a person in the Nine Heavens."

Of course Jiuzhong doesn't believe this, compared to this, Xu Huai is more reliable from Jiuzhongtian. He doesn't grow old and he doesn't die, Kue has always thought so.

"If my master can save him, he will definitely save him." Chen Lan still told the truth, "When I saw him, he could only barely maintain a little sobriety. ”

"Chen Lan, you are a demon, you tell me, why do people become demons?"

Chen Lan thought for a while and said, "Probably because my heart is dead." ”

The empty dust who had been listening outside chanted the Buddha's name, and closed his eyes. Chen Lan's understanding is very good. For Xu Huai, if you let him send out the girls he loves like babies and hand them over to those filthy people, how can his heart not die?

Kongchen finally stepped in and said to Jiuju and Chen Lan, who had stopped crying slightly:

"I'm here to make something clear. I'm going to let you make a decision. ”

"Do you want Yuan Cheng to die, or do you want Jiu Chong and Su An to die?"
