[11] Burned to ashes
"I'll give you a test of the ball!" I clenched my fists, grabbed my strongest strength, and slammed into the man's face.
The man jumped to the side, easily dodged away, and asked me in surprise, "Xiaofan, what are you doing?" ”
I bared my teeth and scolded, "Mom, you liar, why didn't you tell me in advance that your life is in danger?" What should I do if Xiao Ai is burned to death? Have you even thought about the consequences, ah! As I spoke, my tears flowed down my face.
Little love is the only thing I want to survive. Before the seven days had passed, she was burned to death by the golden fire, and that was the soul burned to death, and I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.
"Xiao Fan, you must know that everything has its own laws of survival. When I renew the soul of Xiao Ai, I break this law and take risks, which is why I don't want to help you. The man's tone was calm, but from his words, he felt a deep pressure.
He knew that I had suddenly become like this for a reason, so he did not get angry with me, but patiently explained it to me.
Hearing this, I finally understood that such a thing as soul renewal, an ability that should not exist in the first place, must be punished accordingly if you want to use it.
"But, big brother, then you have to tell us! You don't say anything, if something really goes wrong with Xiao Ai, I will die of guilt. I said bitterly.
"What's the use of telling you?" The man spread his hands out, and seemed to have guessed my question a long time ago, "Xiaofan, if I told you, don't you want me to help you renew your soul?" he asked me rhetorically.
"I ......" I was speechless for a while, indeed, even if he told me that my life was in danger, I would not give up because of this, this is a glimmer of hope for Xiao Ai to be by my side more, I don't want to give up without trying.
But the man didn't say anything to me, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, "But you have to give us a mental preparation." I said.
"Prepare yourself, huh." The man smiled coldly, "If I tell you that the soul may make your sister's soul scattered, do you think you can spend these three days with peace of mind?" He asked, knowing everything.
"This ......" I was speechless again. Indeed, if we knew that Xiao Ai might die in the process of renewing her soul three days later, I am afraid that we will not even be able to sleep well, and we will think about that incident all day long.
Therefore, from the man's point of view, he did everything right, but ...... I just felt that he didn't say anything, and I felt uncomfortable.
"Big brother, I'm sorry just now." I was wrong, and I should have the courage to accept my mistake, and I bowed to him and apologized, "I shouldn't have hit you." "I sincerely apologize.
"It's okay, you didn't hit me anyway." The man waved his hand and said magnanimously. To be honest, he didn't expect me to come to terms with this fact so quickly, after all, I was notoriously stubborn, as can be seen from many things I've done before.
Thinking about it on another level, I am gradually growing up, and my receptivity is gradually improving, and the man is actually quite pleased. For him, the faster I grow, the more good it will be for him.
"Shall we continue to renew our souls?" I glanced at Xiao Ai and asked.
"Nope." The man shook his head, rubbed his sour eyes, and said, "Now that the best time to renew the soul has been missed, if Xiao Ai jumps into the fire now, there will only be disadvantages, not benefits." ”
"What then?" I asked anxiously, it was less than three days before Xiao Ai's soul flew away, and if she didn't renew her soul, she would really have to go to the Netherworld to report.
"What else can I do?" The man shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes at me, not calming his breath, "Let's go pick herbs again." ”
"Is that enough time?" I asked him cautiously.
The man walked over and pressed my shoulder, his eyes flickering, "Time is definitely enough, but the problem is ...... You. The man paused deliberately and pointed at me.
"Me? What's wrong with me? "I don't know why about men.
Why do you say that the problem lies with me? Is it my fault? Is it because I delayed Xiao Ai's soul just now?
"Xiaofan, now I tell you solemnly." The man suddenly straightened up, his face serious, "I can collect the medicinal herbs in one day, but you must know that if your sister does not endure the torture during the soul renewal period, it is not only her who suffers, but also you and me." ”
The man said a few words, and my psychological defense line suddenly collapsed. Yes, if you help Xiao Ai renew her soul, but Xiao Ai doesn't survive, then she will be gone, and we will also be implicated.
But if I give up renewing my soul now, then I still have three days to be with Xiao Ai, and after three days, Xiao Ai will go on the road with peace of mind and go to reincarnation. That would at least ensure that she was still alive.
But can I do it?
I knew that there was hope for Xiao Ai to be by my side for a few more days, but I gave up because of danger, which ...... I can't do it.
"I, she ......" I was entangled and couldn't speak, whether to stick to my original decision and let Xiao Ai continue her soul, or give up such a stubborn idea, and let Xiao Ai leave this world easily after three days.
"Brother." The ghost sister suddenly floated to my side, holding my hands tightly, although we couldn't touch each other, but I could feel the warmth, the warmth from my sister.
"I can." The ghost girl gave me an affirmative look.
A word, a look, is worth a thousand words.
I raised my other hand and put it on the back of Xiao Ai's hand, and then I looked at the man resolutely and decided, "I've thought it through." ”
"Have you really figured it out?" The man suspiciously confirmed.
"Yes." I nodded heavily and stared at the ghost sister tenderly, "Even if I die, I will die with Xiao Ai." ”
"Alright! In that case, then I'll go collect medicinal herbs first, and you can wait here. With that, the man walked away from my sight.
I went back to bed and sat on pins and needles, thinking that I was going to renew Xiao Ai's soul tomorrow, would she really not be able to survive? I was inexplicably nervous and sweating.
The previous three days, for me, were like seconds. Now one day is like a year.
It was dusk the next day when the man returned, and the sunset in the sky was exceptionally red, as if witnessing this miracle.
We pounded the herbs, laid out the things, and made a fire.
The golden fire quickly burned, and I drooped my head, biting my lower lip, and my face was full of confusion.
To be honest, I'm feeling pretty heavy right now.
"Xiaofan, you still have one last chance, do you want to continue, or give up?" The man had a wooden stick in his hand, and the stick was full of strange runes, and he asked my opinion again.
I looked up and caught a glimpse of Xiao Ai smiling at me, and I was heartbroken and said, "Go on." ”
After about half a minute, the golden flames faded, and the man immediately shouted, "Jump." ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the ghost girl jumped into the flames.
The moment the ghost girl jumped in, she turned to ashes and disappeared without a trace, without even a scream......
