"Nobody wants to be a deserter, do you think your grandmother is willing to leave you alone? Do you think she doesn't feel bad when she leaves you? People may be able to change their own destiny, but they can never control their own life and death. My loved ones left me when I was very young, and I faced the world alone at a younger age than you. Jiang Li, you shouldn't resent anyone because they've done their best. ”

"Did your best?" Jiang Li smiled weakly: "I only know that I did my best." ”

"Do you know anything about your parents?"

"I vaguely know a little bit, I asked my grandmother, but she didn't want to tell me."

"Your parents died in a car accident, and your grandmother always thought it was her fault. Over the years, while she has been raising you alone, she has also been under a lot of psychological pressure and self-blame and pain for the death of her son and daughter-in-law. She has to raise you, but she doesn't know how to face you. Over the years, she has worked very hard. Leaving is a relief for her. ”

"What about me?"

"You have to learn to live alone, you have to learn to face the world alone. Jiang Li, some things are not as difficult as you think. ”

"You're not me, how do you know."

"So, what if I could give you a choice?" The magpie jumped in front of Jiang Li: "For example, I can help you find your grandmother and let her stay with you for two more years." ”

"How is it possible, people can't be resurrected after death, this is something that even elementary school students know."

"It's not possible or impossible, it's just you want to or don't want to." The magpie tilted his head: "Now tell me, do you want to or not." ”

"I don't have any money, I don't have anything, I can't afford to give you anything." Although Jiang Li is young, he also knows that there is no gratuitous favor in this world, let alone a free lunch.

"I haven't even told you what I need, how do you know you can't afford it." The magpie is like a little devil who induces people to sin.

"Magpies." Xing Ruyi gently pulled her: "How can people come back to life after death, don't tease other little girls anymore." ”

"No teasing, what the magpie said is true. What others can't do, we can do in the rouge shop. The magpie hugged Xing Ruyi's arm affectionately: "Sister just forgot, this kind of business has been done by our rouge shop before." It's just that the more rare the thing, the greater the price to pay. Now, it depends on Jiang Li's reluctance to leave her. ”

"What else do I have to give up." Jiang Li looked at the magpie: "Is it for my life?" Take it, I don't care anyway. ”

"Life is worthless, what I want is your yang energy."

"Yang, what's that?" Jiang Li frowned.

"I can't say what it is, but if you don't have it, you'll become weak, sick easily, afraid of cold, don't like to see the sun, like late nights, and prone to unclean things. Of course, I won't ask for too much, so what you're facing may not be as horrible as I just said. ”

"Frail, sick, hell?" Jiang Li smiled: "You are obviously younger than me, but you want to play with me as a three-year-old child." ”

"I'm serious."

"Okay, then you can take it, I just want my grandmother to come back and accompany me." Jiang Li stretched out his hand: "Where is the yang energy, how do you take it away?" ”

"You don't regret it?"

"I don't regret it. Yang Qi is not as important as my grandmother. ”

"Then sign this agreement." The magpie didn't know where to conjure up an agreement and put it in front of Jiang Li.

"No, you can't!" Xing Ruyi pressed the agreement with his hand: "Although I don't know if what the magpie said is true or not, but Jiang Li, your grandmother has passed away, she is dead, even if there is really any way to exchange, it must be a loss-making transaction." You are still young, and health is important to you. ”

"What's the use of me being healthy without my grandmother. The longer you live, the more lonely you are. Aren't you all in this together? Why are you holding me back, is it difficult to sit on the ground and raise prices? Jiang Li pushed Xing Ruyi's hand away, and without looking at it, he signed his name on the agreement.

"Okay, I've signed the agreement, when will my grandma come back?"

"Oh, look at this watch in my hand, and when you wake up, your grandmother will be back."

The magpie has an extra watch in his hand at some point, and it is a very old watch. Curiously, the needle on the watch rotates counterclockwise. Jiang Li originally just glanced at it disdainfully, and then froze as if he had been enchanted. Her eyes were straight, and she stared at the watch in a daze, and after the needle retreated two squares, Jiang Li fainted.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Asleep." The magpie said, squatting down and putting his hand on Jiang Li's forehead, and a cluster of flames floated out of her forehead.

"What is this fire?"

"Have you ever heard that this mortal man has three fires on his body, two on his shoulders and one on his head? What I'm holding now is the one on Jiang Li's head. ”

"I don't understand." Xing Ruyi shook his head: "I don't understand, why do you want to take their yang energy." ”

"Because my sister needs it." The magpie blinked a pair of innocent eyes: "My sister is naturally weak, that's because my sister has very little yang energy in her body, and in order to keep my sister, we can only get this kind of thing from others." Because it is not our own, these yang qi are consumed very quickly, and we must keep looking for it and keep replenishing it, so that my sister will not leave us again. ”

"Because of me?"

"Sister doesn't have to blame herself, every piece of yang energy we receive is voluntarily given or exchanged by the other party. There is no coercion, no threats, it's like buying and selling. Of course, Ruyi Rouge Shop does not owe credit, and will never accept returns and exchanges. ”

"What will happen to Jiang Li?"

"She'll see her grandmother and continue to live together."

"Jiang Li's grandmother is dead."

"I know, I didn't say it, I must have found a living person." The magpie smiled heartlessly: "No businessman, no traitor, I am a businessman, so naturally I will be cautious." ”

"No, it's not fair to Jiang Li."

"When did my sister become so kind-hearted?" The magpie frowned and looked at Xing Ruyi, as if she was looking at a stranger: "Sister, don't be anxious, it's not up to us to decide whether this is fair or not." My sister felt that Jiang Li had suffered a loss and was deceived, but in Jiang Li's opinion, such an ending might be the best. ”

Jiang Li woke up and found himself sitting on the steps in front of the door.

There was a beam of light reflected on the steps, and a shadow shook in the beam.

"Li'er is back? You say, you kid, why are you sitting in front of the door and not coming into the house when you come back? The steps aren't cool. ”

Jiang Li turned back in a trance and saw the face of his grandmother at the door.

"Grandma?"

Jiang Li stood up eagerly, and suddenly remembered what happened before.

The house, she has obviously sold.

Grandma is obviously dead.

Now, is she dreaming?

She pinched herself quietly, it hurt a little, and it was the kind of pain she could feel. Suddenly, she remembered her deal with that little girl again, could it be that there is really any way to resurrect the dead in this world?

Before she had time to think about it, she hurried to the door and pushed it open.

"Grandma, grandma promised to leave Li'er and never leave Li'er again."

"Silly child, in life, there will always be a time of difference." Grandma touched Jiang Li's head: "Grandma can only promise you to accompany you as much as possible and stay with you for a little longer." Come on, come inside, it's your eighteenth birthday. After this birthday, you will be an adult, but you can no longer cry your nose at every turn like in the past. ”

"Li'er likes to cry to her grandmother."

"Are you deliberately making grandma feel uncomfortable and making grandma feel distressed?" He patted Jiang Li's head on the head: "Okay, let's go to dinner quickly, it's a birthday, it can't be late, it's late, my little Jiang Li's happiness will be less." ”

Jiang Li sat down and was about to blow out the candles, only to find that there seemed to be only one light in this room, and this light was much dimmer than he remembered. And grandma, although her voice is still the same as before, the smile on her face is obviously a little stiff, and even the movements of holding a spoon and chopsticks are not as agile as before. Looking at her face again, there was a hint of cyan in the white, but there was no usual ruddy and kind feeling.

The hand that was cutting the cake stopped, and she looked down, trying to find the shadow of her grandmother, but she found nothing.

"Li'er, what are you looking at again?"

"I'm looking at grandma's shadow."

"Silly girl, what's so nice about grandma's shadow, it's not an old lady with a bent waist. Eat the cake, after eating this cake, my little ginger will grow up. ”

Jiang Li nodded, snorted hard, she thought, even if grandma is a ghost, at least she and grandma are together, and they will always be together.

The cake was cut off, and she and her grandmother were half of each other, and there was a bit of astringency in the mouth. She pursed her lips and cried.

After returning from the hospital, Xing Ruyi did not go to the rouge shop, but returned to the house where she and the fox were in the new area. When I took out the key and was about to open the door, a strange feeling came to my heart. She could almost clearly feel someone approaching her, but she couldn't move, she couldn't make any sound.

"Damn fox, where are you right now?" Xing Ruyi closed her eyes anxiously, she felt as if she had encountered a ghost again.

"You're calling the fox?"

The soft voice sounded from behind, Xing Ruyi felt that her originally stiff fingers gradually warmed, she quickly turned the key, and turned around while opening the door. A thick black shadow stopped where she had just stood.

Is it a ghost? I guess it's a ghost!

Xing Ruyi's eyes widened, staring at the shadow, and the silhouette of a person could be vaguely seen.

"You want to see what I look like?"

"Nope! I don't want to! Xing Ruyi said, "snapping" and closed the door.
