The ruins of the Lotus Kingdom, in the morning.

Mrs. Yan, that is, Yuan Xunshuang, held the sleeping Yanyu in her arms, basking in the warm sun, staring at the golden-crowned black-tailed frog in the lake in front of her, and fell into deep memories.

Originally, since she came to Yanjia Village, under the careful care of Yerong, she has gradually forgotten the painful childhood experience of losing her parents since she was a child.

I also forgot the fact that I was not a mortal at all, but a golden-crowned black-tailed frog. is completely like an ordinary woman who can no longer be ordinary, living in Yanjia Village unrestrained and living a life without contention.

In the past few decades, she has also changed from a little girl to a middle-aged woman, married and had children, so she has almost forgotten her memories and bizarre life experience.

However, when she saw the golden-crowned black-tailed frog appear in front of her eyes again at this moment, she naturally recovered all her memories of the past, thinking of his father Yuan Feng, the great general who died in the desert storm, his mother who died in the prison, and the county lord Daizhen who humiliated, tortured her, and ruthlessly drove her out of the General's Mansion.

also remembered Aunt Yuanfeng, who once saved her life, who looked like a queen, and Aunt Yerong, who regarded him as her own.

Especially Ye Rong, a woman who is not a relative but is better than a relative, let her spend the happiest time of her life in Yanjia Village, and in the eyes of Mrs. Yan, she is completely her own aunt.

When she grew up, Aunt Yerong did not set a lifelong event for her early and privately without her consent, like other villagers, but completely respected her wishes and ideas, and chose her favorite husband by herself.

Because of Yuan Xunshuang's appearance, she is also one of the best women in the entire Yanjia Village, so many young unmarried men in the village have entrusted their parents or matchmakers to come to the door to say goodbye, but they were all politely declined by Yerong.

There is only one reason for refusal, that is, if her family is attracted to whoever she wants, she will marry whomever she wants, and everything is up to her.

Since then, the unmarried men in the village have also racked their brains, approaching openly and secretly, or pleasing Yuan Xunshuang, but no one has ever been able to hold the beauty.

And Yuan Xunshuang has never been tempted by any unmarried man, not because she is embarrassed, nor because she is indifferent and high-minded, but because she knows that she is not a mortal, just a golden-crowned black-tailed frog that makes mortals look scared, so she always deliberately avoids being tempted by any young man, let alone who she marries.

Because she is worried that once she gets along day and night, if her husband finds out that she is actually a strange frog, I am afraid that it is not only a problem that frightens the other party, but it is not even impossible for her to withdraw from the marriage.

Because of this, Yuan Xunshuang was still alone when he had long passed the age of a normal woman to marry, serving Aunt Yerong at home.

Even after the age of thirty, she is still living carefree like a little girl. It seems that marriage, which is regarded as a major life event in the eyes of others, is just dispensable to her.

Aunt Yerong saw all this in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. It's just that he didn't say anything, let alone urge Yuan Xunshuang.

After all, Yuan Xunshuang has lived with her for more than ten years, and she can guess Yuan Xunshuang's thoughts.

I also understand her concerns, she wants to find a man who is not mortal, so that they can treat each other sincerely, and accept each other's strange identities calmly, instead of relying on a lifetime of lies to cover up the facts.

However, in such a remote small village, it is not easy for these villagers to meet a man like Yuan Xunshuang, who is not an ordinary mortal.

Unless it is an imperial city like Lianshengguo, or a larger city, there is no shortage of such men, and they are often like Yuan Xunshuang, who have a special background that is unknown to others, and live incognito and live among mortals.

Although Ye Rong understands this truth, because she cares too much about Yuan Xunshuang, she is always looking forward to a miracle, and letting such a man appear in Yanjia Village as soon as possible can solve Yuan Xunshuang's lifelong event, and it will be good for her to have a matter on her mind.

From then on, Yerong began to pay close attention to every unmarried man in the village, at first only for men of school age, and later expanded the scope to include the lonely old man and the little boy as the object of covert observation.

In the end, the hard work paid off, and this man was found by Aunt Yerong - that is, Yan Wuhuo, who was over half a hundred years old.

Later, it was Aunt Yerong's secret matchmaking that Yuan Xunshuang was fortunate enough to meet Yan Wuhuo, although the two were dozens of years apart, they fell in love at first sight, and they were not ordinary mortals, so they naturally fell in love with each other and finally tied the knot.

In the eyes of other villagers, the two of them can be regarded as a year-old love, and the lovers finally became married.

The love between Yan Wuhuo and Yuan Xunshuang also caused an uproar in Yanjia Village, and the old and the young, who were originally unfavorable, not only achieved a beautiful marriage, but also became a beautiful talk in Yanjia Village.

The only regret is that on the morning after Yuan Xunshuang and Yan Wuhuo got married, when they went to meet Aunt Yerong, they found that she had turned all her hair white overnight, and her whole body withered and died.

Next to her body, only a very simple letter was left, and there was only a very simple sentence on it:

The curse of the stone tablet at the entrance of the village has been broken forever, and my aunt should also go.

This sudden change made Yuan Xunshuang really unacceptable, so much so that he cried for a long time, a long time, holding his aunt's letter.

After all, in her heart, Aunt Yerong is her dearest person.

For Yan Wuhuo, he is also very grateful to Ye Rong, although Ye Rong is more than ten years younger than him, he is still willing to call her aunt with Yuan Xunshuang.

Because if it weren't for Ye Rong discovering the secret of his life and helping him match, he wouldn't have been able to let Yuan Xunshuang willingly marry an old man who seemed to be about to enter the ground.

And the reason why Ye Rong discovered his special identity was to start with Yan Wuhuo and Yuan Xunshuang, who happened to talk about a meeting next to the stone tablet at the entrance of the village......

It was midnight in the middle of a deep winter twelve years ago, and Yuan Xunshuang, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by an inexplicable voice.

When she sat up in surprise, she found that the birthmark on her palm actually emitted a green light, and these lights appeared out of thin air in front of her eyes, a very strange picture:

In front of a stone tablet, there was a young man drinking alone, and from the way his long hair and thin robe were shaking rapidly in the wind, it was obvious that the most bitter cold wind was blowing around him at this moment.

In these knife-like winds, there was also goose feather snow, which froze in an instant when they landed on the man's robe.

Surprisingly, however, the extremely cold snowflakes melted quickly as they drifted onto the man's face, turning into something like sweat and dripping onto the robe.

The moment it flowed onto the robe, it froze again. It's enough to see how cold the weather is.

It's just that Yuan Xun is puzzled, why did such cold snow melt when it touched the skin on this man's face?

What's even more amazing is that when these snowflakes melt, a faintly glowing ancient text can be seen, and these ancient words seem to flicker for a while, and then disappear into the skin.

When he was stunned and looked at the green picture in front of him, Yuan Xunshuang inadvertently looked down, only to see that the birthmark that originally emitted green light in his palm had disappeared!

All this is too incredible for Yuan Xunshuang!

Because this birthmark has existed for more than 30 years since she was born, is it inexplicably gone?

Could it be that she has completely changed back into an ordinary mortal?

Just when Yuan Xunshuang sometimes looked at the palm of his hand, and sometimes at the mysterious man in the picture, the picture gradually dimmed again, and soon he was out of sight.

At the moment when the picture completely disappeared, Yuan Xunshuang found that the birthmark in his palm appeared again, and everything returned to normal.

Is it a dream? Yuan Xunshuang kept asking himself in his heart.

Then she pinched her arm hard, it hurt!

Suddenly, Yuan Xunshuang understood, obviously all this is not a dream, so who is this mysterious man? Isn't it like her, not mortal?

It stands to reason that on such a cold night, if an ordinary mortal sat in the ice and snow wearing only such a thin robe, he would have frozen to death.

But the mysterious man was not cold, but he seemed to be enjoying it, especially the ancient words that glowed when the snowflakes touched his skin, all of which showed that this man was anything but extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xunshuang also felt an indescribable emotion spread in his heart.

It was a sweet and sour feeling, shy and longing, an emotional experience she had never had, a complex feeling that could not be explained.

Suddenly, she had an impulse to go to this mysterious man, as if she had been waiting alone for thirty years, as if she was waiting for him.

She also has a gut feeling that if she doesn't go, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

It's just that where should she go to find him!

Yuan Xun closed his eyes and tried to remember the previous scene again......

Suddenly, she remembered that there were words on the stele, and Yuan Xun's attention was on the man at that time, so she ignored the stele.

And when I recalled it carefully at this moment, I remembered that there were indeed three words on the stone tablet - Yanjia Village!

It turned out to be the stone tablet at the entrance of Yanjia Village! In other words, that mysterious man is at the entrance of the village at the moment!

After recalling this detail, Yuan Xunshuang hurriedly got up excitedly, got dressed, lit a lantern, put it on, and quietly went out of the door and walked towards the stone monument at the entrance of the village.

However, she didn't realize that in a dark corner of her room, a fist-sized golden-crowned black-tailed frog was hiding there, and it had also witnessed the green picture before.

This golden-crowned black-tailed frog is naturally Aunt Yerong who silently guards Yuan Xunshuang, and when she saw that the picture disappeared and Yuan Xunshuang also went out, she couldn't help but mutter: "Oh my God! This inconspicuous stele was actually cursed! Not good! I'm afraid Shuang'er is in danger! ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Rong hurriedly rushed out of the house and rushed to the entrance of the village......
