Butterfly Lane, Xiao's house.

Except for Zhu Yan, all of the Xiao family members gathered in the front hall at this time, all looking anxious. Xiao Hui was even more restless, he stretched out his head from time to time to ask a yellow-robed old man in front of him: "Dao Chief, has the hexagram come out, where is my daughter now?" ”

The yellow-robed old Dao put away the six copper coins, and sighed slightly: "Poor Dao can't sense any of Ling Qianjin's fateful signs now, I'm afraid that she is no longer alive at this time!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xiao family was shocked, and Xiao Hui's face became gray.

Xiao Bowen said angrily: "Daoist Yan, how can you arbitrarily determine the life and death of people with the magic of strange power and chaos?" My family's four mothers are blessed with a great fate, and it is impossible that something has happened! ”

"Da Lang, Hugh is disrespectful to the Taoist!" Xiao Hui opened his mouth to stop the eldest son, he held back his grief, turned his head and asked the old man in the yellow robe in a consultative tone: "Dao Chief, you still said that my daughter was alive until yesterday, and said that you could determine where she was by hexagrams, why did you say that she was dead today, did you make any mistakes?" I also understand that sometimes mistakes are inevitable, so can you help my daughter re-divinate the hexagram? ”

The yellow-robed old man squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiao Hui, and said in a tone of pity: "Master Xiao, you deeply understand the pain of losing your daughter, but the will of heaven is like this, even the Great Luo Immortal is irreversible!" If the daughter is still alive in the world, she will definitely be able to help you find her with the means of the poor road, but unfortunately her vitality has been cut off at this time, and the poor road will be powerless! ”

Xiao Hui sat down dejectedly, his face became even more gloomy, and just at this time, Yun'er came out of the back house and asked: "Master, the second lady sent me to ask about the results of this hexagram, and she asked when the young lady will be able to go home?" ”

Xiao Hui suddenly felt sad, his lips kept trembling, but it was difficult to speak. Mrs. Gu opened her mouth and said, "Yun'er, if you go back to the second lady, you will say that the young lady is fine at present, but she is still far from home, and it will take some time to find it!" ”

"Yes, Grand Madam!"

When Yun'er nodded and left, Xiao Hui glanced at Mrs. Gu gratefully: "I have been in a mess just now, I don't know how to reply, thank you Madame for relieving my worries!" ”

Mrs. Gu burst into tears, shook her head and sighed: "The matter has come to this, now we have to hide it from Yan'er, just wait for her to get better, we will call San Lang back from Hangzhou, only her own flesh and blood will serve by her side, she can withstand such great grief!" ”

At this time, the old man in the yellow robe said again: "Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao should also mourn and change!" Before leaving, Poor Dao will do a Dharma for Miss Xiao to help Miss Xiao reincarnate in a rich and noble family in the next life, so that she will be safe and secure all her life, and no longer suffer from the pain of life and death! ”

Xiao Hui couldn't help but tears when he heard this, he nodded at the yellow-robed old Taoist and thanked him: "The Taoist chief has been fasting for my daughter for many days, and it has been really hard!" Before you go, I will give you three hundred taels of silver as a reward." ”

The yellow-robed old man nodded slightly, his hand shook a few times in his sleeve, but his face was still as light as water.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran outside the front hall, this person is Xiao Yuan, the son of the former housekeeper Fu Bo, because Fu Bo has gone to Yangzhou to serve as the steward of the Xiao family's rice shop, so he has taken over the position of the Xiao family's housekeeper.

Xiao Yuan's expression was very excited, and he shouted from afar: "Master, madam, Miss is back, Miss is back!" ”

For a while, the Xiao family was stunned, and Xiao Hui was still trapped in the grief caused by the divination, and he said unhappily: "Xiao Yuan, what are you talking nonsense, Ruixue is no longer alive!" ”

Xiao Yuan's face was also stunned: "Master, I don't understand what you say!" In broad daylight, I saw the young lady come back with my own eyes, so I was in a hurry to give you good news! ”

Xiao Hui's expression was stunned, and then he gradually became a little excited: "Is this true? Did you see Ruixue come back with your own eyes? ”

"Then can there be a fake?" As soon as Xiao Yuan's words fell, Xiao Hui heard a soft call not far away: "I'm back!" ”

This sound fell in Xiao Hui's ears like a heavenly sound, he hurriedly looked out of the hall, only to see a plain cloth skirt and no pink lady was just crossing the threshold of the door, her slender and delicate figure, delicate and flawless face, tearful and bright eyes like jewels, isn't it his daughter who has been thinking about it day and night for a month?

Xiao Hui was a little excited and incredulous, and the rest of the Xiao family was already one step ahead of him, and they all ran out of the front hall towards the little lady. Xiao Ruixue also ran towards her quickly, and her tears couldn't stop sliding all the way.

"Auntie, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I finally see you again!"

"Siniang, eldest brother is looking forward to your coming back every day these days!" Xiao Bowen grabbed Xiao Ruixue's shoulder, his excited eyes were red, since Xiao Ruixue disappeared from the Jingzhao Mansion prison, he has been suffering from self-blame, at this time Xiao Ruixue came back, his joy was uncontrollable. His wife, Lin Yuexian, also kept wiping her tears on the side.

Then, Mrs. Gu no longer had her dignified image in the past, and hugged Xiao Ruixue fiercely in her arms, tears falling down her cheeks: "Where have you run away these days, you really drove a whole family crazy!" ”

Tears, laughter, excitement and joy blended to the fullest, Xiao Ruixue's eyes were red and swollen and walked into the front hall, she walked towards Xiao Hui step by step, stopped one step away from him, and called affectionately: "Dad, the child is back!" ”

Xiao Hui's nose was a little sour, and his throat muttered a few times, as the head of the family, he endured it to prevent himself from losing his temper, but he didn't hold on for long, and he broke his skills, only to see him "wow", hugging Xiao Ruixue tightly, and crying. "Siniang, baby daughter, Dad thought you were dead, you really hurt Daddy!" At this moment, this middle-aged man in his forties was crying with a handful of snot and tears, like a child.

The most painful thing in the world is life and death, and the happiest thing is to get it back.

After a period of warmth from the reunion of father and daughter, Xiao Hui glanced at the yellow-robed old man who had not yet left, his face couldn't help but show a little anger, and his tone was also a little sarcastic: "Chief Yan, my daughter has come back safe and sound, what else do you have to say?" ”

The yellow-robed old Taoist had a very ugly face since the moment Xiao Ruixue appeared, he wanted to sneak away when the Xiao family had no time to take care of him, but somehow, he was still hesitating at this time.

In fact, it is true that the old man in the yellow robe is a Taoist priest, but his other identity is that he is a gambler, and he owes a lot of gambling debts outside. After Xiao Ruixue's disappearance, the Xiao family couldn't find her everywhere, Xiao Hui was helpless, so he began to ask God everywhere, and happened to be bumped into by the old man in the yellow robe, who relied on his own tricks of abduction and deception, and took advantage of the mentality of the Xiao family to go to the hospital in a hurry, and in the past half a month, he has cheated more than 100 taels of silver from the Xiao family, not only paying off the gambling debts, but even having a surplus, which really makes him happy. But now that three hundred taels of silver are already on his lips, he suddenly killed Miss Xiao to go home, isn't this God joking with him, how can he, a senior gambler, be willing?

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Hey, Master Xiao, some things are not necessarily believing! The yellow-robed old man shook off the dust, shook his head and closed his eyes as compassion.

Don't say it, the psychological quality of a senior gambler is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and his trick made Xiao Hui stunned: "What is not true, what do you want to say?" ”

"Master Xiao, Poor Dao is proficient in the art of Yin and Yang Six Pillars, and he has never made a mistake in decades! I have been divining for your daughter for half a month, and I have always said that your daughter is still alive, but the direction is difficult to determine, but today's hexagram suddenly changes and indeed indicates that your daughter is dead, what reason do you think I have to suddenly change my words and deceive you? ”

In fact, of course, there is a reason, and it is extremely simple, that is, the old man in the yellow robe also thinks that it is not a long-term solution to play tricks, so after defrauding enough money, he wants to get out and leave, if it were not for the three hundred taels promised by Xiao Hui, it is estimated that he would have patted his ass and left.

It's just that as soon as he said this, it seemed a little more reasonable, and even the Xiao family was a little confused by him, Xiao Hui said: "But my daughter is in front of me at the moment, how do you explain this?" ”

"That's why I say some things don't have to be believing!" The yellow-robed old man said unhurriedly, "Master Xiao, there are some things that the poor Dao has to say for fear that you won't believe it, but in fact, the person in front of you is not your daughter, but just a fox demon who has taken your daughter's body and borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul!" ”
