Chapter 32: Confusion
The weeping woman knelt under the portrait, her knees pressed to the ground, and her eyes were fixed on the portrait in the corner of the corner.
The portrait is really a little unrealistic, about a bodhisattva or something like an immortal.
Although Hua Chen knew that there was no Bodhisattva Buddha in this world, she didn't think it was ridiculous, she knew that everyone had a sustenance in their hearts, so she appeared, she just wanted to help those people to complete these ideas.
"What are you crying about?" Hua Chen stood silently at the door and asked.
The weeping woman was frightened, she turned her head sharply, and saw an ethereal fairy standing in the doorway, the fairy had a simple and harmless face, clear and innocent eyes, and looked fifteen or sixteen years old, which made people feel good at the sight.
"Why are you here?" The woman turned her back and wiped the tears from her face, and when she turned around again, she had already stood up, and asked cautiously, she looked out, but she didn't see anyone else, and her heart was half relieved.
"Obviously I'm asking you, why did you ask me?" Hua Chen was puzzled.
The woman then remembered the question she had just asked, and when she thought of this, the woman's face showed a look of pain, and she quickly held back.
"For the things worth crying about, for the people worth crying."
"Then you cry." Hua Chen is a reasonable person.
If it weren't for Hua Chen's too simple appearance, the woman would have thought that she was here to find fault.
"I don't cry anymore, there are no tears anymore." As she spoke, the woman turned around and put the tablet on the table into her baggage, tied it tightly, and prepared to leave here.
"There is no one in this city anymore, and it is not safe for a girl to come out in the middle of the night, so you better go to your companion quickly." The woman walked to the door of the ruined temple.
Hua Chen followed the woman all the time and didn't say anything.
At first, the woman didn't say anything, but when she couldn't stand it anymore, the woman stopped and looked at Hua Chen unhappily.
"Don't think that I won't dare to hit you if you're good-looking, I'll hit people when I'm angry." The woman didn't know if she was scaring Hua Chen, but her fierce appearance was very scary.
"Why are you angry? I want to make a deal with you. Hua Chen blinked, and a pair of clear eyes stared at the woman's face.
The woman smiled, "I don't have anything, you should go home quickly, if you don't go back, your family should be in a hurry." The woman drove Hua Chen.
After walking for a while, Hua Chen still followed closely behind the woman, and at this time she had already walked out of Golden Rooster City, and the woman was about to walk in the opposite direction of Dragon City.
Seeing that she was about to walk to the hut where the woman lived on weekdays, she was a little uneasy, and looked back at Hua Chen from time to time, there was nothing at first, and after three or four times, she felt a little terrifying, the woman in white did not laugh or cry, her face was expressionless, and her walking posture was very strange, like her feet did not touch the ground, although she looked like a person, and she looked white and tender, but it was too suspicious.
Rao is woman is usually quite bold, and at this time she is also panicked, she can vaguely feel that this woman in white is not an ordinary person, could it be that the ghost from the underworld came to take her away? But do the ghosts of the underworld look so beautiful and refined?
The dilapidated log cabin was close in front of her, and the woman's heart settled down a little, she heard that ghosts were most afraid of peach trees, and there were peach trees near her residence, if the woman in white was really a ghost, she would probably be afraid.
The cabin is very shabby, a little barely sheltered from the wind and rain, but it can also be called a residence.
Hua Chen looked at the wooden house, and after a long time, he realized that the woman in front of him had not entered for a long time.
The woman sat on the steps of the door, hugging her knees and looking at Hua Chen.
The two men looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.
"Ahem~~Ahem~~"
A faint cough, the owner of the voice seemed to be suppressing something, probably knowing that there was someone outside the door.
The woman didn't react at all, she didn't even look back, just a trace of sadness in her eyes, the sadness flashed, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see it.
Later, the woman didn't know what she had figured out, so she invited Hua Chen into the cabin and slept in the same bed with her.
The cabin is not big, but it is divided into two rooms, outside Hua Chen and the woman live together, I don't know who is sleeping inside, I can always hear a clear cough at night, simply and directly, the voice has been suppressed.
Although the woman sleeping next to Hua Chen was lying motionless on the bed and her eyes were closed, she had not slept all night, her ears moved from time to time, and she had been listening to the movements inside.
Hua Chen slept all night, she didn't know what sleep was before, but when she was tired recently, she learned to fall asleep like Bai Jing, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
On the second day, the woman went up the mountain to chop wood, and when she left, she asked Hua Chen to help take care of the people in the house.
After the woman left, Hua Chen sat on the stool and played with the dementor in his hand.
This dementor insect has the effect of soul seduction, and after a while, a wisp of ghost floated out of the room, and he stood in front of Hua Chen, like ripples in the water, slightly fluctuating.
The white worm's eyes turned red after seeing the soul, and the eyes smaller than sesame seeds glowed red, but they didn't dare to act recklessly, because Hua Chen could pinch it to death with two fingers.
Seeing that the soul was near, Hua Chen put away the worm, this soul can't be away from the body for too long, otherwise it will really die.
The soul fluttered back to the inner room, and after half an hour there was another cough in the room, one more fierce than the other, as if it was about to cough to death.
The woman came back half an hour later, probably worried about Hua Chen, and when she came back, she put down the firewood on her shoulder and ran inside.
"Why do you have such a bad cough, you still have to eat some herbs."
"You know it's the same whether you eat or not, so why bother me." A man's voice came from the room, and the voice was very similar to his soul, clear and thin, and it sounded very good.
"Where am I embarrassing you, obviously embarrassing me, I don't want you to die, have you been torturing me?" The woman also has a small temper, and the man's non-cooperation made her feel very aggrieved, but the tone revealed helplessness.
"Dead or alive is something I can control, Zi Yan, you should grow up." The man said helplessly.
"I just don't want you to die, if you die, I will kill your whole family, and you won't have peace when you die."
It was about a bit heavy to say that the woman pushed open the door and walked out, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Hua Chen standing at the door.
Hua Chen blinked, there was no expression on his face, the woman was afraid when she saw such an expression last night, but now when she saw it again, she felt that this woman was not a fool, as if she didn't exist.
"Go home quickly, your family can't find you, you should be in a hurry." The woman walked outside the courtyard and took apart the firewood she had picked up today.
"I don't have any family." Hua Chen sat on the steps where the woman had sat last night, and looked at the woman with her cheeks raised, "Is your name Zi Yan?" ”
"Everyone has a family, you must have it, are you from Jinji City? Did your family leave you behind? The woman asked.
"Why have family? I don't have a family, so I don't have to worry about my family being killed. Hua Chen remembered what the woman said just now, and thought that her family was actually a trouble, and she had to put it on her belt at any time, otherwise she would be killed, even if she was killed, the soul had nothing to do with her, it was not a good deal.
"Are you laughing at me? I was joking with him just now, his family is dead, he is the only one left, and I can't find a target if I want to kill him. The woman smiled and said, "And I don't know martial arts, how can I kill people." ”
"Who said you have to be able to do martial arts, poison is also okay." Hua Chen has seen too many powerless women killing people, she feels that the woman in front of her is very fierce and her life is very vigorous, and she is definitely more powerful than those people.
But will this woman make a deal with her? Hua Chen was confused when he thought of this.
"Go home quickly, I don't want to mess around with you here." Zi Yan was a little annoyed by Hua Chen's question, so she thought about driving Hua Chen away.
Where will Hua Chen go, she finally found someone, so she thought about discussing with her, but Bai Jing said that it is very important for people to live, and taking the lives of others is a last resort, and you must not trick others into burying their lives.
When Bai Jing said this that day, Hua Chen was a little afraid that Bai Jing would be angry, she finally accepted an apprentice in this world, and she didn't want to scare people away.
"I'm going to wait for someone here, he's going to pick fairy grass, and he'll be here in two days."
The woman was too lazy to say anything to Hua Chen, because Hua Chen didn't make any sense at all, and talking to such a person, no matter what she said, I am afraid it would not work, and the woman had already seen this.
Two days passed in a flash, and the woman saw that Hua Chen sat outside every day to watch the stars, and she somewhat acquiesced in the existence of Hua Chen, but this person was a little weird, he didn't sleep at night, and he didn't eat three meals a day, so he sat in the courtyard and watched the stars every day.
On the evening of the third day, Hua Chen was about to look at the stars again, when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps, and she quickly floated out.
When the woman remembered her, she was about to look for her, but found that she was gone.
Ten miles away, Bai Jing was wearing stars and wearing the moon to rush to Jinji City, and he used all the eighteen martial arts on the road along the way, just looking forward to going early and returning early.
Finally, after picking the fairy grass, he rushed back non-stop.
Halfway through, he saw a white figure flying in front of him, so he shouted, "Master, I'm here." Bai Jing's tone was full of joy.
Hua Chen floated next to the horse and walked with Bai Jing, and she told Bai Jing what she had seen and heard in the past two days.
"Listening to what you say, what is the story of this woman and that man, Master, are we going to go there now?" The place Bai Jing said is where Zi Yan is.
Hua Chen was afraid that she hadn't heard Bai Jing's words, she was bowing her head and weaving fairy grass bracelets, each one carefully selected.
Bai Jing, who was riding on a horse, looked at the person next to him and felt that this was a kind of satisfaction.
The bracelet made of fairy grass is not good-looking, and it is a little rough.
