Chen Suyan took me to the Nuanchun Pavilion and picked a window seat in the hall on the second floor. Outside the window is Liuqing Lake, the lakeside is extremely lively, the merchants and hawkers at the feet shout loudly, and the stalls are full of passers-by.

The sun was warm, sprinkled warmly on us, I looked at Chen Suyan, her delicate face seemed to be coated with a faint halo, so beautiful. She was pouring tea, knowing that I was looking at her, and smiled: "It's good to have someone to talk about your heart on such a quiet afternoon." ”

I took the teacup she handed me and said, "You really know how to pick a place, can't you say it to me?" I was scolded. ”

"His cultivation is very good, and he rarely gets angry, and this time it is also because the life and death of the person in his heart are uncertain, and you have to bear more."

Just now, when I was about to go out with Chen Suyan and return ten taels of silver to Mu Xiangcai, I was scolded by him, and his words were sharp, and he scolded me bloody. I didn't expect him to be so terrible when he started a fire.

I muttered, "I've got enough to handle." ”

"yes, if you hadn't stopped him, your flower messenger would have kicked him out."

I felt sick to my stomach: "Flower Messenger? You say Yang Xiuyi? ”

She looked at me with a smile, took a sip from the teacup, and didn't speak.

I hurriedly said, "Didn't you see his gloating look at first?" It was really Mu Xiangcai who scolded too badly before he became angry. Moreover, what kind of flower protector, he is my elder, and he is two generations older than me. ”

As if she hadn't heard it, she turned her gaze to the window, and the lake was shining golden in her eyes.

I didn't know what to say for a while, I picked up the teacup, and the best tea was treated as boiled water by me, and as soon as I raised my head and gurgled it was gone.

"Shopkeeper Tian, can I call you the ninth day of the first month?" She said suddenly.

I nodded: "It's just a title, you can shout whatever you like, as long as it's not a cat or a dog." ”

"I really like your temperament." She smiled and her expression became serious: "Chu Jiu, I owe you a word of apology. ”

I said "um", in fact, the account that cut off my finger has already been cleared. Although it didn't hurt to make her have a nightmare, it was done once, and I don't want to make another mistake and lose my face.

"Before I went to look for you that day, I forced Nuan Xia and told her to cut off your thumb when she arrived, firstly for the blood mark, and secondly, because then I would have a reason not to let her follow me in the future. also lost Yang Gongzi's kick, and now she doesn't dare to follow. ”

I was stupid, I didn't expect her to say these words, this woman, she, how could she be so crazy?

She looked at me: "Fortunately, your fingers can be regenerated, otherwise I would really feel guilty, maybe you think I said such a thing too falsely, maybe in your eyes I am a cruel woman." ”

I weakly added: "In addition to being ruthless, you are quite crazy. ”

She was stunned for a moment, then chuckled twice: "Yes, it does." ”

She turned her head to look around the hall, and I followed suit. The hall was noisy, the guys were running back and forth, and there was a pretty singer in the hall downstairs who was playing the piano and whispering, too far away to hear clearly.

"This is where he and I started." She said, "At that time, the business of Nuanchun Pavilion was also very good, but it was not as noisy as it is now, at that time, most of them were literati and elegant guests, who liked to quietly taste tea and eat pastries, and occasionally chanted poems against each other, and the volume was not so noisy." ”

"My mother was seriously ill that year, and I had to sing here with the guqin left by my father. He was a regular visitor here, and when I first saw him, I was hooked, and it never went back. She stretched out her hand to a seat downstairs, where a man and a woman sat with her large white breasts bare/exposed, sitting on the man's lap, grinding with his ears and temples. She said lightly: "He sits there every day, not far from where I play the piano, but I feel that I am separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and I dare not ask his name or say a word to him." Singing was a shame for me at first, but day after day, I felt that it was so sweet and happy, and it was the dream of many women in the world to be able to sing to my beloved man every day. ”

"Later, my mother finally couldn't stand the entanglement of illness, closed her eyes and went west, I endured the grief to take care of her funeral, and did not come to the warm spring pavilion to play the qin for many days, but he found my home. That day I realized that I was not the only one who was struggling to think alone. When she said this, her eyes were full of sparkles, and she was extremely beautiful.

But there was fear in my heart, and a terrible guess arose in my head, and I asked her, "Who are you?" ”

"Who am I?" She muttered under her breath, then shook her head, "I forgot." ”

"Who am I? Which one is me? She smiled sadly, "Chu Jiu, you should know, right?" The reason why I don't want Nuan Xia to follow me is because you are the only one in this world who can say these words, and you are the only one who will believe them. ”

I took a deep breath and looked at her in shock: "Are you Qu Jing'er?!" ”

Her body trembled slightly, and she nodded: "Yes before, now ...... Not anymore. ”

"What's going on? This qiē, this ......"

She fiddled with the teacup in her hand, and her tone was still unhurried: "Three months after my mother's funeral, I finished my filial piety, and Xiang Cai asked me to kiss. Two years later, I gave birth to Luo'er, who was very much like his father and very intelligent. But also in that year, a friend came to my family, who was Xiang Cai's former classmate, and his family was in the middle of the road and came to borrow it for two months. Both of us and my husband are good-natured, and we gladly took him in, but we never thought that we would lead a wolf into the house. He conspired with the robbers outside the city to kidnap our mother and son, and only after blackmailing him did he raise 10,000 taels of silver in three days. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... Later, they didn't wait for the third day, and on the second day, they raped me in turn, and threw Lo'er to death in front of me, and I jumped into the cliff with Lo'er's body in my arms. ”

I said angrily: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts! ”

"I thought I was dead, but I could still open my eyes." Her expression was still as plain as water, without any waves, "However, what is in my arms is the best silk brocade quilt, not my Luo'er." ”

"You possessed Miss Chen?"

"Well, at that time, Miss Chen was seriously ill and had a big fever, I didn't know them when I woke up, and they only thought I was stupid, and then I didn't dare to mention it again, for fear that I would be caught by someone as a demon girl and burned with fire. In fact, I wanted to tell you these words that day, but Nuan Xia kept following, and I couldn't let her know my identity. On the ninth day of the first month, do you believe what I said? ”

Nonsense, of course I believe it, wasted so much of my materials, especially the petals of the Soul Locking Flower. I burst into tears at the thought of them, and I finally understood why Master and his old man would rather be scolded by me for being disrespectful than to come to steal chickens and dogs. It's no wonder I did it with her hair, but she didn't have nightmares, it wasn't her body at all.

I said, "After that, you studied occult sorcery yourself, right?" ”

She nodded: "That's right, the blood mark is also seen above." I didn't believe in these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods before, but it really happened to me, and I had to believe it. The same is true for Xiang Cai, he, like me, scoffs at all of these, so he scolds you for deceiving the world and stealing your name, swaggering and cheating, you must not take it to heart. ”

What do I have to go to my heart? The person who was angry and thunderous was Yang Xiuyi, not me. This Mu Xiangcai's mouth is really poisonous, at first I saw that he had no daughter-in-law, and endured his abuse, but then I couldn't bear it anymore, and when I was about to have a seizure, Yang Xiuyi, who was originally gloating, couldn't listen to it anymore, and I was going to beat people first, I was afraid that he would kill someone, so I had to suppress my anger and rush to stop him and coax him, but I didn't get angry.

I said, "He sneered at me, but he still came to me, which shows that he really has a deep affection for you." ”

"It's not me anymore." She smiled casually and looked up at me, "After I became Chen Suyan, I am very grateful to God for the rebirth I have given me. But Chen Suyan has a good father, he treats me very kindly and cares for me, and so is my current mother, I am the treasure they hold in the palm of their hands. So when I instigated my father to come to Liu Xuancheng to be the county magistrate, he tried his best to maneuver around the officialdom and finally dispatched it. But the world is full of variety, and I have been hurt a few times, how can I take advantage of all the beautiful things. When I saw the woman next to Xiang Cai......"

She finally couldn't laugh anymore, two lines of clear tears flowed down, she choked up, and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Chu Jiu, do you know? I used to love him deeply, but now I hate him, he is always polite and indifferent to other women, including me now. Seeing his deep affection for Qu Jing'er now, my heart is really like a knife, I know that his deep affection belongs to me, but the person he has is not me, the woman he loves, hugs, and kisses now is not me! ”

I asked, "Do you want me to exchange your soul back?" ”

"I knew it wasn't possible."

"Not bad."

She laughed and shed tears: "I have read the witch book, the soul possession is between the weeping of death, and the time and place are favorable, and the physique is only one in ten thousand. ”

I said, "These are the secondary, the most important ...... that I can fully grasp."

She interrupted me and delightfully asked, "Can you bring people's souls back to their bodies?" ”

I nodded, "I can, but the hardest thing about soul possession is encountering two bodies that are exactly the same essence." "Since I can possess the body, it means that the two bodies are the same!" I paused, knowing that it was a bit cruel to say this, but I still said it: "Miss Chen, it's different. I looked at her sudden cold expression and whispered: "Your body, the current owner is a goblin, and the body that has been possessed by the goblin has changed greatly, and it is no longer the same as before." ”
