018 The Real Seventh Night.
Not long after Liu Yihao left, Yan Jin also returned to the room, and now that Liu Yihao is safe and sound, he is also a lot more relieved. Yan Jin didn't sleep well last night, and now he has just had lunch, and at this time he was lazy, he lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, wake up!" In his sleep, Yan Jin heard someone calling him, and he opened his eyes with difficulty to see Liu Yihao standing in front of his bed, looking at him with a smile.
Yan Jin asked sleepily, "Yihao, why did you wake up, is there something wrong?" Is it getting dark so soon? Yan Jin obviously felt that he hadn't slept for long.
Liu Yihao still looked at Yan Jin with a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Su, it's not dark yet, but I'm leaving, I miss my mother, I want to go home and have a look." ”
Yan Jin just woke up, his head was a little confused, and it took a while to understand the meaning of what Liu Yihao said just now, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Yihao, aren't you going to the clouds, aren't you learning to cultivate immortals?" How do you say go home? ”
"Brother Su, I really miss my mother, I'll go back to see my mother, and then come back immediately, it won't be delayed for long."
"Then I'll go back with you, I don't feel at ease if you go alone." Saying that, Yan Jin was about to get up and prepare to pack her luggage, "I'll go to say goodbye to Ming Haoqi and them in a while, and I don't know if they're back now." ”
Liu Yihao hurriedly stopped Yan Jin, waved his hand again and again, "Brother Su, you can't go back with me, it's okay, I'll just be alone." Okay, go to sleep, I'm just here to say goodbye to you, Brother Su, I'm leaving, thank you! After speaking, Liu Yihao turned around and walked out the door.
Yan Jin chased to the door and wanted to pull Liu Yihao back, but when he pulled it, his hand fluttered, and Liu Yihao disappeared out of thin air. In a panic, Yan Jin opened his eyes suddenly, at this time he was still lying on the bed, one hand was still grasping in mid-air, everything around him was still the same as before he went to bed, it turned out that he just had a dream.
Yan Jin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead indiscriminately, and was just about to get out of bed, when suddenly there was a violent knock on the door, and then he heard Qiao Shen's anxious voice, "Yan Gongzi, it's not good, Liu Gongzi has an accident." ”
Yan Jin walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, glanced at Qiao Shen, didn't say a word, and walked straight to the next room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yihao lying on the bed at a glance, only to see that he was pale, his eyes were closed, lying there motionless, and several other people were standing by the bed, all with their heads down and not speaking.
Yan Jin walked to the side of the bed, he stretched out his finger with difficulty, but he never dared to probe Liu Yihao's snort, and finally he just pointed at Liu Yihao, and said in a trembling voice, "He, he, what's wrong with Yihao?" ”
Qiao Shen said, "When a few of us found out, Liu Gongzi, he was no longer there. ”
"Gone? What does it mean to be gone, aren't you immortal cultivators? Don't you have the ability to bring the dead back to life? Why didn't you save him, why? At this time, Yan Jin's eyes were as red as blood, staring at Qiao Shen and asking sharply.
Although Qiao Shen was very calm on his face, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Master Su, we tried, but Liu Gongzi's soul can no longer be found, the soul is gone, and there is nothing we can do." ”
When Ming Haoqi got the news, he and Song Yuling were on their way back to the inn. The old woman of the Zhu family wanted to choose an auspicious time to be reburied, and they were asked by the Zhu family to overtake the old lady, and several people checked it inside and out, and then closed the coffin and put it into the ground, and finally, Song Yuling also left a requiem in front of the grave, and after all these things were completed, most of the day had passed.
"Ah Heng, something happened to the inn......" Song Yuling just said a word after getting Qiao Shen's transmission, and Ming Haoqi beside him disappeared.
The moment Ming Haoqi saw Yan Jin, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when his eyes touched Liu Yihao who was lying on the bed, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
As soon as Yan Jin saw Ming Haoqi coming back, as if she had seen a savior, she suddenly rushed to his side and said tremblingly, "Ming Haoqi, isn't Yihao okay?" What's going on now? What are we going to do? ”
At this time, Song Yuling and the others also returned to the inn, he walked to Liu Yihao's bed, checked it carefully, and said, "Liu Gongzi's soul is indeed no longer there. On the way, Qiao Shen had already told him everything that happened in the inn.
Hearing Song Yuling's words, the little hope left in Yan Jin's heart was also shattered, and he muttered in his mouth, "Isn't it seven days?" It's the eighth day today, how can you ......" Suddenly, Yan Jin seemed to think of something, stopped suddenly, turned to look at Song Yuling, and asked, "Song Yuling, what day did you meet Wang Yan?" ”
Song Yuling was asked by Yan Jin, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this is Qiao Shen on the side suddenly said, "Yan Gongzi, it's June 15, I couldn't sleep that night, so I went out to walk outside the inn, when I went out, I thought that it was exactly fifteen, I also took a special look at the moon in the sky, the moon was round and bright that day, and when we came back, we saw Wang Yan leave the inn like that, I remember it very clearly." ”
After hearing Qiao Shen's words, Yan Jin's breathing suddenly became short, and she asked again, "Then have you looked through Wang Yan's relics?" ”
Song Yuling wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and said seriously, "This, how can we casually rummage through other people's personal belongings." ”
Yan Jin said disapprerovingly, "I've seen it, and besides, I found a strange thing in Wang Yan's relics", he turned his head to look at Yan Nian and asked, "Ah Nian, what night did we learn about Wang Yan's resurrection in Liushatuan?" ”
Yan Nian didn't think about it, and replied directly, "Childe, it's June 16." ”
Yan Jin said, "Wang Yan has the habit of writing a log when he goes out, I have read the log he wrote, most of them are some daily trivialities, and there is nothing special, and the strange thing I said is the date on the log." At first, I thought that he had forgotten to write on the 16th, or that he had an accident before he wrote it, but now it seems that he had had an accident as early as the night of June 15th. ”
Night Xingchen turned to Qiao Shen and wondered, "June fifteen? That means that the night you saw Wang Yan was not the seventh day, but the sixth day. ”
"However, whether it's the sixth or seventh day, it has nothing to do with Liu Gongzi's affairs?" Xu Jinnian heard Yan Jin say so much, became more and more confused, and asked anxiously.
"It matters, Liu Gongzi was in the same situation as Wang Yan last night, that is, on the seventh day after leaving home, and it didn't match Wang Yan's time, but Wang Yan's time didn't match that of others." Ming Haoqi's deep voice sounded on the side.
Yan Jin knew that Ming Haoqi understood what he meant, and said, "So, if Wang Yan's day is right, then he is the strange sleepwalking situation that occurred on the night of the sixth day, and the soul did not really return home until the middle of the night on the seventh day." This also shows a problem, that is, last night was not the seventh day of Yihao's departure from home, it was the sixth day, and today is the seventh day, which is the real day of resurrection. ”
Song Yuling said, "Yesterday was the seventh day, but Su Gongzi, you and Liu Gongzi said it personally, can this still be wrong?" ”
Now Yan Jin felt like she was in the middle of a busy city, her whole head was buzzing, and some of the things she had just figured out were now a mess again. He lowered his head, and unconsciously looked at Liu Yihao who was lying on the bed, suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Yihao, but the words he opened were said to Ming Haoqi beside him, only to hear him say softly, "Ming Haoqi, you must have completely placed Old Madam Zhu's body before coming back today, right?" ”
"Not bad."
"That means that Yihao's matter has nothing to do with her, and I heard Song Yuling say last night that that Old Madam Zhu has no anger on her body at all, and it is impossible to harm people, right?"
No one answered this time, Yan Jin knew that what he said was right, because just now he suddenly figured out one thing, why Liu Yihao left on the eighth day of leaving home, why did he just say goodbye to himself and said that he missed his mother, why Wang Yan's relics had a few new clothes sewn, why when Liu Shatuan was in Liu Shatuan, Aunt Li would say that Yan Jin, who mistook Li Lei, and sewed a new dress for him, why all the people who returned home would be dissipated after saying the same sentence "Mother, I'm back".
After thinking about everything, Yan Jin was full of self-blame and guilt, all of this he should have thought of, he looked at the hem of the shirt on Liu Yihao's body, and the place where Liu Yihao's mother had been stitched up that day was so dazzling at this time.
Yan Jin blinked his slightly dry eyes vigorously, and said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the day Yihao left home was counted from the day his mother sewed clothes for him, that is, the day he left home, which is why I said before that today is the real seventh day." ”
Qiao Shen was puzzled, "Why did Su Gongzi say that?" Doesn't it start from the day you leave the house? And what about sewing clothes? ”
Yan Jin said slowly, "Since ancient times, children have traveled far away, and as mothers, they will prepare luggage and clothes for their children who have left home, and they will sew them themselves for what they have to wear when they go out, dress well, and dress warmly. And almost all mothers in the world will always feel that they are not doing enough, and even stay up under the oil lamp to sew clothes until the early hours of the morning before their children leave, for fear that their children will come home late and their clothes will be damaged. But who would have thought that the mother's painstaking act would become the source of the children's deaths, and from the moment they put down the needle and thread, the children's lives entered the countdown to life. Yan Jin's voice is very hoarse now, the whole person is chaotic, he remembered that when Liu Yihao said goodbye to him in the dream, he had prevented Yan Jin from going home with him, the one in the dream should be Liu Yihao's soul, he must know that Yan Jin can't go back with him, and in the end he is still thinking about Yan Jin, and he is still thinking about his safety. Thinking of this, Yan Jin's eyes turned red again, and he closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Night Xingchen said angrily, "Taking the mother's last sewing of clothes as the first day, and returning in the middle of the night after the seven days, the souls of the children return in the middle of the night, and the joy of the relatives is followed by endless sadness, what is this thing, actually using a mother's love for her children to harm others?" ”
Yan Jin shook his head gently, now everything is his guess, even if there is really such a thing behind it, who can know?
After Fang Yanjin finished speaking, Song Yuling's eyes kept staring at Ming Haoqi, but since just now Ming Haoqi always kept his head down and didn't say a word, Song Yuling couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and after half a sound, he only heard Song Yuling whisper, "It's the soul rope." ”
