Miao village is east, stone room.

A woman in an ivory-colored dress sat upright on the ground, her eyes staring directly at the stone wall in front of her, without light and light, like a black hole in stagnant water.

In front of the woman lay a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a gray and black Miao suit, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was lifeless.

The woman held the man's soft and boneless arm, and the real air swirled, as if sensing something.

After a while, fine sweat broke out on the woman's forehead.

The entire stone chamber seemed to be isolated from the world, and even the air seemed to be still.

With a click, the mechanism clicked, the stone door opened, and the one-year-old woman came.

I saw that the old woman was dressed in an ink-colored robe, lined with black green seedlings, with a dark gold rune silver pressure collar on her chest, and a green bamboo basket tied around her waist. At the inner meridian of the left wrist, a thick black poisonous scorpion looms

——It is a symbol of Miao Jiang's identity and a continuation of the ancient bloodline.

Gu Linghui, Gu Family Linghui, the title of each generation of heads of Miao Village.

The old woman stopped three steps from the door, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the woman in front of her, waiting silently.

The traces carved by the years could not hide the dazzling light of the old man in the slightest.

For a moment, the stone room was even cooler.

The kneeling woman suddenly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be clouds and moons in those eyes, misty and misty, without waves, like snow in the fog, like night in the forest.

The woman put down the man's arm, turned to face the old woman, her thin lips opened slightly, and said, "Mother-in-law, this person's name is Lin Ziyu, who has practiced poison since he was a child, and has a treacherous and arrogant personality. Subordinate to a masked man, since they met, they have never seen his true face. That person knows witchcraft, and is extremely profound, familiar with the affairs of Miao Village, but he is not a person in the village. Their actions have been planned for a long time, and they will do so in the near future. ”

Linghui walked towards the woman and looked at the man on the ground, thoughtful.

The woman got up and continued, "In the illusion just now... There was also a Ah Yu. She and the man in black drew their swords and faced each other, judging from the environment and clothing, the two were not in the territory of Miao Jiang. In the future, it is very likely that there will be some conflict between them. Therefore, I suggest that you can start from Ah Yu's side and let her take more precautions. ”

Hearing the woman say this, Linghui turned her head to look at her and didn't speak.

"And—" The woman didn't finish speaking, but she hesitated, "Shui Ying... Already killed... The other party directly used the bone powder... So we can't find any trace of it...".

The room was quiet again, and Linghui was distracted for a moment.

That kid is only fifteen years old, and within a few years of coming from Huancheng, something like this happened...

There is no more pain in the world than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

After a long time, Gu Linghui put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Twenty fish, let's inform Huancheng over there, explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, please cherish it over there." Then, let Ah Ying come here. ”

"Okay," Gu Twenty Fish replied softly, turning to leave.

She has been in Miao Village for so many years, it's not that she hasn't seen a dead person, she is sad, she cries, and it's over. It's not that she's indifferent, it's that after all, we still have our own lives to go on.

The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy.

That's what she'd always told herself.

But now Shui Ying's death makes her faintly uneasy, as if God has smashed a thunderbolt on you, telling you that this is just the beginning, and in the future, more people around her will leave one after another.

The hand in Gu Twentyfish's sleeve tightened unconsciously.

****

The early morning of Miao Village is still quiet, but there is already the smell of fireworks, and the fragrance of rice wafts out from the wooden windows of the small building, making this paradise more vivid and lovely.

Ah Ying didn't have to run into the valley and dense forests today, so she wore a long skirt with more bright colors, a set of trim tops, wide sleeves, and her arms were more weak, with a silver bracelet on her left wrist, a black cloth strip wrapped around her right wrist, a silver collar hanging around her neck, and a small cloth bag of the same color diagonally. The long hair is scattered, and a pinch is taken on the left and right to weave a simple braided hair, three taels of silver jewelry are planted between the hair, and a small silver bell is worn on the ear, which is more delicate.

When the two of them came to Linghui's mother-in-law's residence, the elders had already dispersed.

As soon as the two stepped on the bamboo ladder, they saw an ancient twenty fish in a tooth-colored dress fluttering towards them.

In Ah Yu's eyes, this sister Twenty Fish is simply a fairy-like existence, not to mention being kind to others, and her temperament is even more elegant and outstanding, just like a green lotus, out of the mud and not stained, as if isolated from the world, not stained with the fireworks of the world, to that station, with its own fairy spirit.

Coupled with her special identity, premeditation, it put a veil of mystery on her.

As soon as Gu Twenty Fish went out, he saw the two people who came in a hurry, and said with a soft face: "Ah Yu, I just wanted to find you, Linghui Granny is inside, you go and take a look" Gu Twenty Yu Yu stretched out his finger and winked at her.

Although there were only a few words, Ah Yu heard the meaning of the words. A fluttering heart suddenly let go.

It's not Sister Shui Ying.

Ah Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Twenty Yu walked over and directly took Ah Cai's hand, gently dragged her, her voice was delicate and gentle, and said, "Uncle Shi was still talking to me about you just now, I was just going to his trip, why don't you come with me quickly!"

As soon as Ah Cai heard that the master was looking for her, she immediately glared in fright, took Gu Twenty Fish's hand and left, and didn't forget to turn around and snort at Ah Yanu.

As soon as Ah Ying went upstairs, she saw Linghui's mother-in-law coming out of the back room with a wooden box in her hand. Ah Ying walked in, opened his mouth, and before he could ask the words, he heard the other party say:

"Ah Ming, but are you going back to Jiangning?"

Ah Ying was stunned for a moment, and was choked when the words came to her mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Linghui glanced at Ah Jin, smiled, stretched out his robe, and sat down.

Ah Ying hesitated for a while, pursed her lips, and said slowly: "Well, maybe after a while, go back with my second brother..."

"Then you take this wooden box with you, just in case you need it" Gu Linghui pushed the small box in front of Ah Yu and motioned for her to open it.

Ah Ying was a little curious, and turned the secret button, only to see three small things in the box:

Pills, white porcelain vials, green snails?

Looking at these three things, Ah Ying couldn't help but feel puzzled, and raised her eyes to look at Linghui's mother-in-law.

Gu Linghui stretched out his hand to close the box and said with a smile: "You are about to be fifteen, this is a gift I gave you in advance." The bottle contains Kodan Begonia, which is not valuable, but you will definitely use it in the future. A girl of your age should dress up more, and her foundation is not bad."

Ah Ying looked at Linghui's mother-in-law, and couldn't help but sigh, the years were really unwilling to leave traces on her, and her every move was calm and calm, and her words did not hide her beauty.

"However, how you use these things depends on yourself."

After Gu Linghui finished speaking, she took a sip of tea, and said, "Ah Ming, you were also busy all night the day before yesterday, so I'll make a long story short." You don't have to worry too much about it, the injured children will be fine. ”

Ah Ying bit her lip, but still couldn't hold back, and said, "I'm mainly worried..."

"You don't have to worry," Gu Linghui interrupted her again, "Some people are destined to suffer this calamity, and if they get through it, they will go further." You have to trust your friends about that. ”

Ah Ying stopped talking, she always believed that Sister Shui Ying would be fine, but she was still afraid that a bad result would come in the end.

Gu Linghui seemed to understand her, and said slowly: "As long as you are firm, why bother with what is going on." Everyone has their own destiny, and whether to accept it or not is not to look at others, but to rely on oneself. Now, it's time to focus on another important person. ”

"Who?" Ah Ying asked.

Gu Linghui glanced at her and spit out a word: "You".

"Me?" Ah Ying was surprised, a little incredible.

"The man you brought back the day before yesterday, do you remember, it is said that he is still a master of using drugs."

Ah Yu nodded, recalling the fire at the Bamboo Horse Station the day before yesterday, before she escaped from the fire, she temporarily turned back to the kitchen and dragged the unconscious man out.

At that time he still had a breath.

"I thought as long as he had a breath left, we would always know something." Ah Yu told the story.

"Yes, that's right, so that's why I'm looking for you" Gu Linghui stared at Ah Jin, her pupils exuding a strange color.

Ah Ying quietly waited for Linghui's mother-in-law to continue.

"You will see each other again in the future, in Jiangning." Gu Linghui said slowly word by word.

Ah Ying didn't speak for a long time, but said softly like a dream: "He... Is there really an accomplice of his in the stockade? ”

There was some disbelief in Ah Jin's voice, and her eyes were a little wide.

She can be regarded as having grown up here since she was a child, Miao Village is like a paradise in her impression, she feels peaceful and calm, and she has never even seen a fight. She couldn't imagine that there had been an unknown reverse scale lurking under the tranquility.

She didn't dare to imagine that in the future, this pure land would eventually be shattered.

"Ah Ming, you are a smart child, you always think differently from others...", Gu Linghui smiled, "However, we haven't gotten more substantive information from him, and we can't be sure who Neiying is. The only possibility now is Jiangning in the future. ”

Ah Ying was silent, if she hadn't been able to find out who Nei Ying was during this time, then all the burden would be equivalent to pressing on her alone.

Gu Linghui read her thoughts, and said with a sigh of relief: "Ah Ming, this is just a possibility, what happens every day now will affect the future, so don't put too much pressure on yourself." Be sure to be careful outside. If possible, this box must be taken with you. This... Or the first time that Frost Hibiscus went to Jiangning and brought it back to me...".

Hearing the last sentence, Ah Jin's brows furrowed unconsciously.

I don't know why, she has heard a lot of things related to A-Niang recently. It turned out that when she tried to ask at one point, no one answered her, like a taboo for everyone. But now, there will always be people who try to use Ah Niang's affairs to lead her and urge her to walk to the center of the whirlpool step by step.

She's young, but she's not stupid.

After so many years, although she is still happy, sad, angry and afraid of A-Niang's affairs, she will not lose her mind because of this. She knew that Linghui's mother-in-law mentioned A-Niang at this time, just to re-emphasize the importance of the box.

Thinking like this, Ah Ying inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she still tightened the box tightly and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will carry it with me." I, can I look at that headless...".

Gu Linghui glanced at Ah Jin, paused, turned around and walked towards the back room, turned his head again, and said to Ah Jin, who was sitting motionless at the table: "Child, I said, you are very smart... But sometimes it's tiring to be too smart..."

Ah Yu didn't speak, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Come with me".

****

Today's weather is very good, it is a rare good weather. The sunlight shines through the heavy branches, sprinkling the glass on the ground.

Guo Yu helped Shen Dongyu to walk in the light and shadow, the sun was warm and gentle.

Guo Yu looked at his wife's side face, and the two were shrouded in a warm veil, feeling a little unreal.

Since Dongyu suffered from a stubborn illness, his face was pale all day long, and he was lying on the sickbed with his death, and his condition has never improved.

During that time, he was really physically and mentally exhausted, seeing Dongyu suffering all day long and getting thinner and thinner, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he hated himself all the time for not taking good care of her.

Dongyu is like his sunshine. Without sunlight, people can only be immersed in darkness all day long, becoming the walking dead.

He even thought that if Dongyu left like this, he would definitely follow without hesitation...

Shen Dongyu felt her husband's gaze, turned her head to look, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression was guilty, and she felt heartache.

Shen Dongyu raised her hand and gently stroked her husband's eyebrows, and some cold fingers touched the skin, making Guo Yu come back to her senses in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Guo Yu said softly.

"Zihuai, you have to frown less, you will get old..."Shen Dongyu's voice was thin and weak.

Guo Yu looked at his wife's appearance and said with a smile: "When you are old, don't you want me?"

Shen Dongyu withdrew his hand and tugged at the cloak, his eyes were shining, like an amber.

"That's not it" Dong Yu laughed softly, his eyes were crooked, and his white face was a little warmer.

Guo Yu tightened her cloak for her, hugged her and said, "You don't want me anymore, I'll pester you every day..."

"Who doesn't want my second brother anymore?!"

Ah Ying suddenly appeared from behind the two, dressed in Miao clothes, and the silver bell on her waist jingled, crisp and pleasant, which made people sweep away their troubles.

"Sister Dongyu, don't you want a second brother?" Ah Ying took the corner of her skirt, jumped around to Shen Dongyu's side, held her arm, and asked with a smile.

Shen Dongyu glanced at her, and pretended to be annoyed: "With you, how dare I not want him."

When Ah Yu heard this, her eyes widened, and she pouted: "Sister Dongyu, it turns out that I am like this in your heart, but I am from your side!" If you don't want my second brother, then wouldn't I have one less competitor?! Haha," Ah Ying laughed heartily.

"See, you have a strong competitor! If you make me angry, I'm going to look for you! Shen Dongyu said to Guo Yu funny.

Guo Yu also immediately chimed in: "Don't dare, don't dare, our family is so powerful, I can't afford to mess with it!"

When Ah Ying heard this, she rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and said speechlessly: "You two are really women and husbands...".

Ah Ying put down her hand, saw the gem outside Grandma Lu's residence from a distance, and ran over with a smile.

The gem is a little white dog raised by Grandma Lu, with black eyes, like a dazzling gem, so it is called a gem.

I saw the jewel lying in the shade of the tree, taking a nap, as if he heard a familiar voice, he opened his big eyes slowly, looked around, suddenly locked on to the target, raised his calf, and ran towards Ah Yu.

"Jewels!" Ah Ying picked up the little white dog running towards her, rubbed his fur indiscriminately, and smiled.

Guo Yu looked at Yu'er in front of him, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he took her to put paper kites on the hill. The afternoon sun was as soft as it is now, and the little girl was bathed in warmth, smiling and smiling.

Five years have passed, and after so many things, Guo Yu has always been afraid that she has a knot, and that she will no longer be cheerful when she is alone in a foreign land.

But now it seems that he is too careful.

She was still the little girl, the little girl on the tip of her heart.

Grandma Lu came out of the wooden building, holding a basin of bones in her hand, crossed her waist with her left hand, and said, "I heard your voice from afar, chattering and talking a lot." Ay! Don't rub him dirty, he's just taken a shower! ”

Ah Yu pretended not to hear, and circled around with the two front paws of the gem.

Grandma Lu saw Guo Yu and Shen Dongyu who came later, put the basin on the ground, smeared the oil stains on the apron, and said with a smile: "Dongyu, your body is much better now, have you had breakfast?" Come, I just made fairy fruit porridge here, and it's still hot! ”

Shen Dongyu replied with a smile: "Okay, the two of us just didn't have breakfast!" Thanks to Grandma, I'm much better now~ We've been bothered here for so long, and I'm not going to be able to get away. After that, he glanced at Guo Yu.

Guo Yu continued: "Thanks to you, Dongyu can recover so quickly, you are our great benefactor."

"Don't say that, I'm an old acquaintance with your father, and I can help a little bit. Besides, it's not all a family, and the family doesn't say thank you. ”

Grandma Lu fished out a big bone and threw it out, the jewel's nose moved, her body shrank, and she immediately broke free from Ah Jin's clutches and ran away with a delicious meal.

Ah Ying ran to Grandma's side, held her arm and said, "Hmph, Grandma, you are too partial, don't ask me if I have breakfast."

"Hey, you have no conscience, where am I eccentric, I know that you haven't eaten, and I'm waiting for you when I'm ready!"

"Hehe, Grandma is the best" Ah Ying leaned on Grandma Lu's shoulder, full of joy.

Grandma Lu's body is very tough, although she is over the age of six, her legs and feet are still convenient, and her gestures have not reduced her demeanor back then.

It is said that she was also the best of the wizards in Miaojiang back then, after many years of practice, embarked on the road of medicine, since then Miaojiang has a magic hand to rejuvenate, can bring back to life witch doctor, famous deeds have been praised in the rivers and lakes for many years, peach and plum all over the world.

So talented people are always like this, no matter what they do, they can make a difference.
