Chapter 46: The Sunset Girl of Qixia County
Meng Po did not urge her, but poured the soup into the pot and continued to boil her Meng Po soup.
And the old woman was alone beside Meng Po and chattered:
There was a fire in the house that year, and my father saved her who was closest to him at that time, and then after they went out, because the fire was too big, people couldn't enter at all, and my mother was finally burned to death by the fire.
The pain of losing her mother made her blame everything on her father.
And my father also endured her scolding alone because of her mother's death.
So, now she wants to wait for him and say to him again, Dad, her daughter is wrong.
"Go ahead."
Cheng Xiaoxiao held the jade pendant in front of the old man, "It's all over." ”
"Wife, daughter."
A tear was drawn from the corner of the old man's eye, and then turned into a puff of black smoke and drilled into the jade pendant, "Our family of three can finally be reunited." ”
"Did he really reincarnate?"
The ghosts who had been staying in the corner couldn't hold back any longer when they saw what was happening in front of them, first one by two or three, and then Wu Yang Yang floated out of the shadows.
"Cat demon grandma, help me!"
"Grandma Cat Demon help me first! Help me first! ”
They scrambled to surround Cheng Xiaoxiao, and there was no longer the fear they had at the beginning.
"Don't even make any noise."
Cheng Xiaoxiao jumped back on the offering table and shouted to the ghosts floating below: "Come one by one." ”
"You."
Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her cat's paw and pointed at a thirty-year-old woman standing at the front: "You go first." ”
"My child was lost when he was three years old, and I, I just want to know if my child is still alive and if he is doing well?"
The woman hurried to the table and looked longingly at the lion cat on the table.
Cheng Xiaoxiao watched as the thread behind her led to a young man in a mountain village in the distance.
The young man was carrying a basket on his back to collect medicinal herbs in the mountains.
"He's alive and well."
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned her claws and turned the jade pendant to the woman, who looked at a young man who appeared in the jade pendant, who was carrying a basket and holding a sickle in his hand, searching for it in the mountains.
"Good. Good. ”
The woman's eyes were red, and she said two good words in a row, and then turned into a puff of black smoke and drifted into the jade pendant.
The jade pendant in Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand lit up instantly after the woman entered.
It seems that she is right, every time she absorbs a ghost, the spiritual power in this jade pendant will increase a little.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Cheng Xiaoxiao put all the ghosts in this broken temple into the jade pendant, and when she was about to leave, a voice suddenly stopped her.
"Wait!"
Hey?
And the ghost who slipped through the net?
"Y-You're really a cat demon grandma?"
A ten-year-old imp floated out of the shadows.
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around and walked to the little ghost, "Little ghost, what are you doing hiding there?" Everyone has gone to reincarnation, so you should hurry up and go too. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the line behind the little ghost, holding him straight to an open space outside the door.
Nothing?
Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and silently recited, 'Lingyu obeys orders, wants to open the eyes of heaven for you'.
When she opened her eyes again, she stared at the clearing, and deep in the clearing, there was a skeleton of a cat, which looked like it had been some years.
The cat's skeleton was shattered, as if it had been hit by something heavy.
Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, urged the spell again, and when she opened her eyes again, the image of the cat before death appeared in front of her eyes.
The cruelty of the picture in front of her made all the hairs on her body explode.
I saw a powerful man in the prime of life holding a stick and beating the three-flowered cat.
The three-flowered cat was lying on the ground, dying.
Why are there such cruel people in the world?
Just because he was in a bad mood, he was angry with stray cats.
Suddenly, a little boy with a steamed bun appeared, and he fought with the man, but the little boy was too weak.
Just when Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to continue watching, a little ghost's immature voice suddenly came from her ears: "I can't go, it won't find me if I go." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the little ghost floating beside her.
"Grandma Cat Demon." The little ghost squatted down in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao and stretched out his arm to Cheng Xiaoxiao to compare his length, "Can you help me find a three-flowered cat?" It's about that big, and the fur on its body is black, white and yellow. ”
"Grandma Cat Demon, my kitten is very human. You say it's not the same as you, it's also very powerful. The little ghost stared at Cheng Xiaoxiao with bright eyes.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at those innocent eyes, the words came to her mouth, and she swallowed back, obviously it was this little ghost who buried the skeleton of his kitten outside the temple.
But he ......
The little ghost seemed to be stuck in a memory, and said slowly: "It was rescued from the mouth of a wild dog when I was asking for food." ”
Speaking of this, the little ghost found the doubt in the white cat's eyes, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with a smile: "I haven't had a father or mother since I was a child, and when I was hungry, I went to the street to ask for a steamed bun to eat." ”
Saying that, the little ghost sat on the offering table, his legs dangled on the offering table, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked to the white cat under the table and said: "Later, with it to accompany me, I will give it half of the steamed bun every time I ask for it." And sometimes it finds some food in the garbage heap that is still in good condition that people have thrown away, and it will give it to me. We live together like this. But ......"
The little ghost's voice paused, and a touch of pain suddenly appeared in his eyes, "That day, it was sick, I left it in the temple and went to the street to beg for steamed buns by myself." I was lucky enough to get a steamed bun quickly, and I hurried back to the temple only to find that it had gone nowhere. I've been waiting for it here, and I know it's going to come back to me! You see, I still have the steamed buns. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao watched the little ghost take out a dry steamed bun that was harder than a stone from under the idol behind the offering table, and her mood was a little heavy.
"I've asked a lot of ghosts who come here, and they all say they haven't seen it." Saying that, the little ghost floated in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao from the offering table, "You are the cat demon grandmother, you can help those ghosts reincarnate, then you must have a way to help me find it, right?" ”
"It's dead."
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to lie to him.
“……”
The little ghost didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he floated back to the corner, his eyes were full of tears, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, "You lied to me." ”
"You always knew it was dead."
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the little ghost in front of him, he had multiple fractures all over his body, and there was a hole the size of a bowl in his head.
"Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao walked into the shadows, looked at the little ghost who was shrinking there, and rubbed his hand with his head, "Meow~"
The little ghost looked at the white lion cat in front of him, stretched out his hand gently, carefully touched its head and said, "Why are you going out?" I'll be back soon. Why go out? ”
"Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao obediently yelled at the little ghost twice.
"Wow!"
The little ghost instantly hugged Cheng Xiaoxiao and cried like a child, no, he is a child.
After he finished crying, the little ghost turned into a puff of black smoke and burrowed into the jade pendant.
Cheng Xiaoxiao understood that this little ghost's obsession was a grievance with nowhere to be complained.
He has had a cat by his side since he was born, and he saw his cat being beaten to death, and he was also killed, but he couldn't ask why.
Now that he has finished everything, his obsession is gone, and he naturally goes to reincarnation.
Cheng Xiaoxiao walked out of the broken temple, her paws stepped on the open space outside the broken temple, and her mood was a little heavy.
She knew the loneliness of that little boy.
After her mother died, she didn't even have a cat by her side.
She often cries alone in bed in the dark because she misses her mother.
On the way back to King Jing's mansion, Cheng Xiaoxiao kept wandering.
Suddenly, there was a horse whistle, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up, and saw a horse's hoof pestle two meters above her head.
Just as the horse's hooves were about to fall, a pair of hands hugged her away.
"Are you alright?"
A gentle voice came from overhead.
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her in shock.
I saw her head flying in a fairy bun, and a few fragmentary golden flowers were pinned to the bun.
The two ribbons hanging from her head fluttered gently in the breeze, adding a bit of immortal elegance to her noble temperament.
The eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the eyes are like stars, and the end of the look is bewitching and moving, and it is fascinating.
On the chest is a red satin wrap on the chest, and a red gauze is draped over it.
Through the translucent red gauze, her jade-like skin and slender arms could be faintly seen.
It's just why does she look at this woman a little familiar?
"Sunset girl, are you alright?"
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from the side, and Cheng Xiaoxiao turned her head to watch a pink-clothed maid hurriedly run to this woman from the front of the stall selling rouge next to her.
"I'm fine."
The woman called Sunset smiled softly at the maid next to her, "Don't worry. ”
"How did you drive the carriage! Do you know who she is? She is the county lord of Qixia! Hurt her, how many heads do you have to pay! ”
"Xiaoqin."
Sunset gently called the pink-clothed maid, and the maid immediately returned to Sunset's side in silence, and muttered slightly: "Girl, he almost hurt you just now." ”
"Let him go." Sunset walked towards her carriage with the white cat in her arms.
"Xie County Lord!"
While wiping his sweat, the horseman got down from the carriage and bowed his waist to the sunset and thanked him repeatedly, "Xie County Lord!" ”
This is the sunset girl in front of the county lord of Qixia?
Her peach dance can be described as an overnight fame in the capital!
Fortunately, he was lucky, she didn't care about him in general, and he drove away as soon as he thanked him.
Everyone knows that Miss Sunset is a person from King Qing's mansion, so he should leave this place quickly.
"Little thing, do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
Sunset looked at the little thing in her arms, raised her hand and touched its head.
"Meow~"
Cheng Xiaoxiao came back to her senses now, it was this sunset girl who saved it just now.
She rubbed her head against her hand in thanks.
"Ah, girl, why is this cat still clothed?"
Also back to the carriage, Xiaoqin poked her head to look at the cat in Sunset's hand.
The girls had to go out for a walk, so they got out of the carriage.
Then the girls saw that there was a good rouge on a stall, so they stopped there and watched.
Suddenly, there was a horse roar, and before she could react to what was happening, she saw that the girl who was watching Rouge beside her was gone.
When she turned her head to look for it, she saw that the girl was bending down to save a white cat from under the horse's hooves, which would have been on the girl if it had not been for the horseman's quick reaction.
If the girl is injured, King Qing will definitely pick her skin!
"Little thing, did you get lost with your master?" Sunset lifted the kitten, and the tip of her nose gently touched the tip of the white cat's nose, "Come back home with me." ”
"Meow!"
Let her go!
Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she had to hurry back to King Jing's Mansion, otherwise Chu Yunshen would return to the mansion and find that she was not in the room.
"Meow!"
Let her go!
She immediately struggled.
"Girl, be careful!"
Xiao Qin snatched the lion cat with its claws bursting out of Sunset's hand, and then threw it to the side, "Why are you so ignorant of what to do!" My girl just saved your life! ”
