CHAPTER XXXI

"Haven't you heard of Liu Xin?" ”

Hua Niang smiled and nodded: "I've never heard of it." ”

Yan Shu opened his mouth slightly, a little incredulous, and couldn't help but say, "You don't know him?" ”

Hua Niang said strangely: "Should I know him?" ”

Yan Shu said: "Of course, he is ......"

He said suddenly: "Yan Shu, since Hua Niang doesn't know each other, then we won't bother Hua Niang too much." ”

He wanted to speak and stopped, but he still shut up, endured and endured, and still didn't hold back and said, "What about your husband?" ”

Hua Niang was puzzled: "What? What husband? ”

This time, even Qian Xu was surprised: "When we first met, didn't you say that you were married?" ”

When Hua Niang heard this, her face was blank and even a little empty, and she muttered, "I...... I? Did I say that......"

Tan Xu and Yan Shu glanced at each other, both with a look of confusion.

"I'm not married, am I?" Hua Niang was still wondering, and suddenly reached out to cover her head, as if she was in some pain, and said in a low voice, "I...... I..... Why? ”

Seeing her like this, she wanted to reach out to help her, but Hua Niang broke away from her and screamed, "Don't touch me!" ”

Tilt Xu was pushed by her and staggered, and Yan Shu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Tilt Xu.

Hua Niang looked at her hands in a daze, her face was a little numb, she looked up at Qian Xu and said, "I'm sorry." I...... I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think I can talk to you anymore. ”

Hua Niang quickly turned around and left.

Yan Shu wanted to stop him, but he stopped him: "Forget it." ”

Yan Shu said: "Just let her go?" But we haven't asked anything? ”

Poured out and sighed: "Even if you ask again, do you think she will answer you?" And," she thought thoughtfully, "I don't think she's pretending to be stupid, but like she really doesn't know anything." ”

"But when we first met her, she clearly said that she was married," Yan Shu guessed, "could it be that she has amnesia?" ”

"I don't know. If we want to know why, we'll have to keep looking. ”

Facial paralysis Xiao Er is very sad today.

A female Taoist priest and her man came to him and ordered four bowls of beef noodles, but ran away before they could finish them, without giving money.

Before Xiao Er finished grieving, he saw that the female Taoist priest and her man had actually returned, and immediately cried with joy, and greeted him and asked, "Are you back?" ”

Yan Shu pushed him away in disgust and sat back to eat the bowl of cold beef noodles.

Qian Xu looked at Xiao Er with a smile and said softly, "Little brother, can I ask you something?" ”

Xiao Er's mouth pursed, and his palm stretched up in front of her: "Give money first!" ”

Yan Shu took out the money from the side and paid it, Xiao Er hurriedly took it, counted it carefully twice, and put it into his arms happily, before he smiled and said, "What do you want to ask, Dao Chief?" ”

Tilt Xu smiled: "I just heard that you know everything about the things in the town, so I want to ask you about the things in the town." ”

Xiao Ermei opened his eyes and smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

He said, "Do you know where Mrs. Liu Xin is?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned and said in confusion: "Why do you ask this?" ”

Yan Shu chewed his mouth and said indistinctly: "Test you, see if you know everything." ”

Xiao Erhu was suspicious: "You ask her what to do, it won't be a bad plot, right?" ”

Qian Xu couldn't laugh and cry: "How could it be." ”

Xiao Er still didn't believe it: "I just saw you running to chase her, what do you want to do?" ”

"You've seen it all this far?" Yan Shu was surprised, "Your eyesight is good." ”

Listen to the words and look sideways. Xiao Er snorted, looking very proud.

"Don't ask me about her, I don't know anything." Xiao Er shook his head, turned around to leave, and said unrelentingly: "Huh? You really don't know anything? What about Liu Xin, how much do you know about Liu Xin? ”

Xiao Er turned his head, there was a moment of solemnity on his thin face, and he frowned: "Why are you asking about them?" ”

Qian Xu felt the need to explain: "That's the case, someone asked us to check on the recent situation of the couple, because Liu Xin ...... Missing. And Mrs. Liu seemed to be in a trance just now, and she didn't know if she was stimulated by anything. We wanted to ask many times, but we also wanted to understand the situation and see if we could help her. ”

Xiao Er stared at Qian Xu and said, "Who asked you to investigate this matter?" ”

Qian Xu said casually: "Mr. Bi." He, uh, he cares about Liu Xin. ”

Xiao Er disagreed: "Although Mr. Bi has taught Liu Xin, it is only the relationship between teachers and students, and they have not been in touch much since Liu Xin left the school. The two don't know each other well on weekdays, how could he find out that Liu Xin is missing? ”

Pouring Xu was speechless for a while, Yan Shu took advantage of this opportunity to hurriedly ask: "Hey, don't you know Liu Xin well?" What else do you know? ”

Xiao Er knew that he was speechless, shut up, and was silent for a long time before he said, "...... All I know is that the two of them met under a rainy roof...... When I saw it, I fell in love. ”

After that, no matter how Tan Xu and Yan Shu asked, Xiao Er only said "I don't know". Dumping Xu was helpless, so he had to give up asking questions and bid farewell to Xiao Er.

Unexpectedly, they walked for a while, and Yan Shu suddenly said, "Oh, I have something missing!" ”

Leaning Xu looked left and right, but he didn't see anything missing, and was looking at Yan Shu suspiciously, but the latter said mysteriously: "Let's go, just go back and know." ”

The two hurriedly turned back to the noodle stall, and saw the little second standing in place, holding a hand empty, looking at his fingertips blankly.

But why did he look so sad and have tears in his eyes?

Tilting Xu was confused, and then Yan Shu quietly stepped forward and suddenly said, "Oops! So here!! ”

Xiao Er was startled and wanted to retract his hand, but Yan Shu snatched the rose in his hand, and his empty hand trembled, as if he wanted to take the rose back, but finally retracted it timidly.

Yan Shu turned the rose in his hand and said briskly to Xiao Er: "I said where I lost this rose, it turned out that I lost it here, it's okay, it's okay, this is a gift from a nobleman, if I lose it, it's not good." ”

Xiao Er looked at the rose in a daze, as if he couldn't hear the words, and said for a long time: "Since it is a gift from the noble, take good care of it, don't break the nobleman's heart." ”

Yan Shu said: "That's natural. ”

Xiao Er's expression was not good, and he quickly glanced at the rose, smiled silently and bitterly, and turned to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Yan Shu looked at his back and smiled slyly. Qian Xu also looked at Xiao Er, thoughtful.

"What? Is it Liu Xin?! ”

Mr. Bi's face was shocked, his gray beard trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe what he heard for a long time.

"How could it be, how could it be Liu Xin...... This kid is still so young, how can he ......?"

Qian Xu looked at Mr. Bi's sad face, and felt a little unbearable, but he still said truthfully: "Now Liu Xin's soul is wandering here and refuses to leave, because there is still a wish unfulfilled." If we can help him get his wish fulfilled, perhaps he will be able to leave in peace. ”

Mr. Bi didn't know whether he heard it or not, but shook his head sadly and said, "How can this be......"

Yan Shu stood next to him and didn't speak. He gave Mr. Bi some time to calm down, and after a while, he said, "Tonight, we have to ask Liu Xin's unfulfilled wish to help him realize it." But after all, Poor Dao and Senior Brother Yu Liu Xin are just strangers, and Liu Xin may not be willing to tell us. Mr. Bi, I wonder if you could please come with us to meet Liu Xin tonight? Liu Xin knows you, maybe he is willing to reveal his heart to you. ”

Mr. Bi was silent for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and said with a sigh: "Okay." ”

That night, Tan Xu, Yan Shu and Mr. Bi stayed outside the academy's school, waiting for Liu Xin to appear. The wind was very cool tonight, and it made the bamboo forest mournful, as if someone was whimpering lowly.

Standing side by side, Mr. Bi stood alone in the corner of the wall, looking at the bamboo shadows on the wall, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but there was still no sound of poetry recitation that night in that school. Yan Shu whispered: "Liu Xin won't come today, right?" ”

Tilt Xu also whispered: "I don't know." ”

But I saw that Mr. Bi suddenly turned around, his face was full of sadness, and he said in a low voice: "He is here." ”

Yan Shu said "ah", and when he got closer, he saw a line of blood words suddenly appear on the wall.

Return to the wind and set the scene. Scattered east wall sparse bamboo shadows.

Mr. Bi reached out to stroke the line, and the rough stone wall was stained with bright red blood, stained with Mr. Bi's wrinkled fingers.

"I taught him this poem when he was ten years old. That night, he stood in the bamboo shadow with a brush, and wrote on the wall one stroke at a time. Mr. Bi's voice choked up, "I just stood behind him and watched him write." ”

"Sir." A low voice came from the school.

Mr. Bi walked over and gently pushed the door open.

Liu Xin really stood in the school, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and called "sir" softly.

Mr. Bi responded with a trembling voice and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat Liu Xin's shoulder, but the outstretched hand passed through his shoulder.

He was busy looking at Liu Xin's expression, but he was not surprised by this, but raised his head and smiled, and said to the sad Mr. Bi: "Sir, I have been."

...... It's dead. ”

Mr. Bi withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, and a tear flew across his old face.

Liu Xin turned to look at Qian Xu and Yan Shu, and said in a somewhat ethereal voice: "Since you came that night, I have felt that something is wrong, and I always feel a little familiar. Later, I thought that you were wearing a Taoist robe, and for some reason I suddenly remembered something. I have been groggy all this time, I can't remember things all the time, and I think I dream back to my childhood, and I come to the school every day to study, but I don't know that I am a dead man. ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of those bad things. ”

Liu Xin shook his head, and a faint irony appeared on his pale face: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how long I would be here, muddy, nothing." ”

Yan Shu still had that wish in his heart, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he said loudly: "Young Master Liu, do you know why we are here this time?" ”

"You're trying to get me out of here." Liu Xin knew that he had disturbed the school for a long time, but he was helpless, "I thought about leaving." But for some reason, when I wake up every night, I'm still in school, and I don't know what to do. Perhaps, I have to trouble you, a thousand girls. ”

Mr. Bi was a little worried when he heard this, and looked at Qian Xu and said, "What are you going to do, Daoist?" Won't let him ...... Gone, right? ”

Tilt shook his head: "No." Sir, rest assured, I will definitely let Liu Sheng's soul return to the underworld after completing the whole earth, and he will be reincarnated. ”

Mr. Bi felt a little relieved at this time. Yan Shu was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said: "Liu Sheng, you just said that you saw the tilt...... Senior sister's robe, only to remember that she was dead? ”

"Exactly." Liu Xindao.

A sudden upset of uneasiness swelled in Qian Xu's heart, and he only heard Liu Xin continue.

"The man who killed me is dressed in the same robes as this one."
