My grandmother hesitated, but finally told me the truth.

"Blind Hu is a blind sorcerer surnamed Hu who travels all over the world."

"That year you just had a full moon, I held you at the door of the house to feed the goat's milk, the ragged bearded blind man stood in front of us and did not leave, I thought he wanted to beg for food, but I didn't expect him to touch his beard, a pair of rolled eyes have been staring at you, he obviously can't see anything, but it seems to be able to see through that pair of blind eyes everything we can't see."

I held my chin and listened patiently to everything my grandmother said.

"At that time, the blind man stared at you and said, 'Wonderful, wonderful', I said that this child has a hard life, he was born without a father and mother, and his body is also defective, born in this cold winter and wax moon, where is the wonder?"

The blind man said that the wonder of this child lies in her defects and the dark red birthmark on the back of her waist.

"Birthmarks? What's wrong with my birthmark? "The defect refers to a gap in my skull, and isn't this birthmark very common?

"Your birthmark was brought out of the mother's womb, the size of a thumb nail, like a young fox, dark in color, born with blood stains on the body, even the birth mother did not see it, except for me, no one knew the existence of this birthmark at that time, and the blind man opened his mouth to say it, I was immediately a little shocked."

"You know, I run a shroud shop and know some feng shui techniques, and ordinary charlatans can't fool me, but the blind man talked to me for a long time, and everything was on the point, so I had to be convinced."

"He said that many people have birthmarks on their bodies, but there is a big difference between birthmarks and birthmarks, some birthmarks are special marks left on the body in previous lives, and some birthmarks are the root knots of one's own karma, and your birthmark is likely to be a mark."

"Marking?" I don't know why, but when I hear this word, I always have the feeling of being targeted.

Grandma nodded: "Yes, that's what the blind man said, he said that your birth should have a specific meaning, and this birthmark is the mark they make on your body, which will definitely change your fate." ”

"Who are they?" My heart is pounding, it's not a scar left in my previous life, it's not a node of karma, so is this birthmark branded by Meng Jiusheng's soul when he was in the underworld?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, how can this be?

If it's what I suspected, wouldn't I be dangerous?

Grandma shook her head and said that she didn't know, but she always remembered Hu Blind's words, and firmly believed it, and then said: "Xiao Jiu, I always feel that after you and Hu Sanye have intersected, this turning point in fate will come soon." ”

"Grandma, no one is perfect, and the blind man must make mistakes, and it's just a birthmark, how can there be so many twists and turns, let's not worry about ourselves." This is said to my grandmother, and it is also to admonish myself not to think too much.

Grandma smiled: "Okay, okay, let's not think about it, since we have come this far, let's go with the flow, as long as my little nine is getting better and better, grandma will rest assured." ”

"Xiao Jiu is very good, what about grandma, when can I go home with Xiao Jiu?" My grandmother has been in the Hu Mansion for a month, and I can't see each other all the time, and I miss it very much.

"After the Golden Silk Gu was lifted, most of the yin and evil qi in my body was also expelled by Hu Sanye's people, and the rest was for me to slowly discharge it from my body, I live here safely, quietly, and it's good." Grandma said, "Anyway, the Hu Mansion is kind to me, and when I am completely well, it would be better if I could stay and do what I could for them." ”

"Zuo, but now that you are with Hu Sanye, we are the people of the Hu Mansion, aren't we?"

My face flushed, I squeezed my grandmother's hand with both hands, and I didn't refute, and now I'm worried that Hu Dingkun will move, and it's really much better for my grandmother to stay here than to stay in the shroud shop.

Thinking of this, I nodded: "Then you live here now, and we will talk about it when you are completely well in the future." ”

"There's one more thing I have to tell you." Grandma became serious, "During this time, I have heard a lot of things about the fox clan, as well as the stalemate between Hu Sanye and the family, you must not provoke the people on his family's side, they are fox fairies, you are just a little girl, if something happens, you may be the first to suffer, understand?" ”

"Mmmm, I know, Xiao Jiu listens to grandma." I hastened to reassure.

My grandmother didn't know about the mass grave, nor did she know the relationship between Hu Dingkun and the hungry ghosts, and she didn't know that I couldn't be alone anymore.

But I can't let her worry, whatever she says, I just listen.

I chatted with my grandmother for a while before I came out, and after walking a few steps, I saw Hu Yunxi standing there with a cold face not far away.

But Hu Yunxi obviously won't let me go easily, she stepped forward in a few steps, reached out to grab my collar, I quickly dodged away, she was stunned, I was stunned for a moment.

After all, Hu Yunxi is a cultivator, and he shoots very quickly, I couldn't have dodged so easily before, it seems that I have been with Hu Dingtang overnight, and the cultivation results are still considerable.

But Hu Yunxi was a light enemy after all, and after being stunned for a while, she attacked again, this time obviously with several layers of skill, I couldn't dodge, and I was still caught by her.

She glared at me and said, "Why? What is you! How can you do it! ”

"You are not worthy of the third brother, you must have used some kind of flattery to bewitch the third brother, slut, let me clean you up today!"

Hu Yunxi said, raised his hand and was about to slap me in the face, this time I didn't dodge, raised my head, and sent my cheek over: "Hu Yunxi, no matter what, I am already your third brother's person, even your brother has to call me a third sister-in-law, it is not uncommon for you to call me or not, but you have to think clearly, this slap is down, how should you explain to your third brother?" ”

Hu Yunxi's hand standing in the air paused, and his snow-white teeth bit his lip, as if he was going to bite blood: "Meng Jiusheng, don't be complacent, you are not a person from us all the way, and the third brother will dump you sooner or later." ”

"But at least for now I'm his only woman, aren't I?" I stepped forward, leaned in and whispered, "After all, it won't be your turn, will it?" ”

"You...... You...... Slut! Hu Yunxi was angry, reached out and pushed me away, the force was too strong, I couldn't hold steady, staggered straight back, and didn't stop until my back hit the wall pillar.

Hu Yunxi chased after him, raised his fist, waved it in my ear, and said fiercely: "Meng Jiusheng, you are not worthy of my third brother, soon, I will take the third brother back, you wait for me!" ”

After saying that, Hu Yunxi turned around and left, and I stood there with a frown.

I'm not afraid that Hu Yunxi will threaten me like this, but her last sentence made me see my determination, she has admired Hu Dingtang for so many years, and the feelings she has cultivated since she was a child make it possible for her to do anything stupid.

She is so determined to win, is it because she wants to ......

At this time, Hu Yunzhi walked over with a nervous face: "Third sister-in-law, when I came in just now, I saw Yunxi going out with a cold face, did she come to make things difficult for you again?" ”

"Hu Yunzhi, you have been looking at your sister recently, I am afraid that she will go back to the old house of the fox clan to make trouble." I reminded.

Hu Yunzhi didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she is not a three-year-old child, although sometimes she is a little coquettish, but she can still distinguish between black and white, her thoughts on the third brother, everyone sees it, what the third brother's attitude towards her, everyone knows it, even if she goes back to the old house to complain, no one will pay attention to her." ”

I hope that Hu Yunzhi has already said so, and I can't hold on to this matter anymore, and then said: "Don't call me the third sister-in-law in the future, or call me Miss Meng, okay?" ”

"Why? I think it's good to call the third sister-in-law. Hu Yunzhi said, seeing that I was very repulsed, and changed his words, "If you think it is too abrupt to call the third sister-in-law now, then it depends on you, Miss Meng." ”

I immediately became happy: "Well, my grandmother is here, thank you for taking such good care of me." ”

"It's all family, as it should be." Hu Yunzhi replied.

At lunchtime, Hu Dingtang didn't come back, Hu Yunxi didn't see anyone, everyone seemed to be very busy, and there were few people at the dinner table.

After lunch, I asked Hu Yunzhi to send someone to send me back, and I sat in the store all afternoon, and no one came to buy anything.

Hu Dingtang said that he would come again tonight, and I don't know when he will come, but when I think of what happened last night, I can't sit still.

He must have been busy lately, maybe he just said it casually?

……

finished cooking in a daze, but when it was time to eat, he found that he had done too much, living alone, but making two servings.

After eating, I cleaned up, took a bath, put on a white shirt, sat on the edge of the bed, but I felt bad, if Hu Dingtang came at this time, I dressed like this, I always felt that it was implying something.

I changed into a smoky gray shoulder with a light blue skirt, but when I finally put it on, I felt that I was wearing it so formally at night, as if I was dressed up for someone to see, maybe I was teased by someone with a sentence of 'women are the ones who please themselves', and I went to change the middle coat back.

I tossed back and forth several times, and I suddenly smiled bitterly, Meng Jiusheng, what are you doing, obviously hinting that you don't care about that person, but at this moment, that person didn't appear, but because of him, what is it!

Fortunately, I climbed into bed in my middle coat, blew out the lamp and wrapped myself in the quilt, closed my eyes, and slept.

But how can I sleep, my eyes are closed, the surroundings are dark, but my mind is boiling.

I don't know how long I stayed up like this, until the horn was lifted by a hand, and when the man leaned up, I still didn't fall asleep, but I was excited by the temperature on the man's body.

"Didn't sleep?" Hu Dingtang asked by his ear.

I didn't make a sound, and subconsciously held my breath, trying to get by.

His hand came up, and my whole body began to stiffen, but he naturally asked me, "Did you see your grandmother today?" Happy? ”

"Well, happy." I held his hand, "Thank you." ”

"Don't thank me, it's good if you're happy, speaking of which, your grandmother should be my grandmother now."

Hu Dingtang's words shocked me all of a sudden, you know, he is a fox fairy who has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and my grandmother is just an old man who is over the age of old, how can He De let him call grandma?

"Don't say that, Grandma admires you very much, and she won't want to hear you call her that."

"Well, I also feel awkward, but after all, I accepted her granddaughter, and I can't be arrogant, right?"

"You're cheap, and you're selling well."

"Well, my little Jiu'er is the most well-behaved, take your hand away obediently, the good day is short......"

"Hu Dingtang, don't you be so numb? Normally, just call me by name. ”

This 'Xiao Jiu'er' screamed and I got goosebumps all over my body, and this man was tired and crooked, not like him himself at all.

"I don't like me to call you Xiao Jiu'er, what's that called? Dress? Baby? ”

"Hu Dingtang, you are enough!"

"Ordinary people's husbands and wives call each other so affectionately, am I not as good as ordinary people?"

How can I refute this?

But Hu Dingtang didn't give me a chance to refute, the whole person had already pressed up, reciting a mental method, he would definitely follow up with Xiao Jiu'er, coming over overnight, my ears were almost calloused, but I also listened to it bluntly.

"Don't go anywhere recently, I'll let Mrs. Wu deal with something, you can study and cultivate your mind at home, rest more by the way, and wait for me to come back."

In the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Hu Dingtang had already gotten up and dressed and explained to me while wearing.

I nestled in the quilt, staring at me in response, after he cleaned up, he kissed me lightly on the cheek before leaving, and when he left, I reached out and touched my cheek, my face was hot.

I used to think that people like Hu Dingtang, with a cold face and a deep city, whoever followed him must be holding him like a emperor, but I didn't expect him to be very good at spoiling people.

Of course, whether it's petting or abuse, he is really to people, which makes me feel a little sweet inexplicably, and at present, he really cares about me.

I slept for a while, got up and cleaned up, opened the store, I sat at the counter and painted embroidery, Hu Dingtang asked me not to go anywhere, and I stayed at home obediently.

At noon, a young man walked in, and I quickly stood up to greet the guest, and when he came in, he said, "Miss Meng, I want to make a few sets of shrouds from you." ”

"How many?" I frowned, "Not a set?" ”

The little guy immediately looked painful: "The family is unfortunate, the first few cherry blossom countries thought that the family would take the train to Kyoto Province, but I didn't expect an accident on the way, and I was left alone in the family." ”

This is really miserable, and I immediately comforted: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Then how many sets of shrouds do you need?" How many men and how many women? ”

"There are six sets in total." The little guy said, "One set of men's gold treasure with a black background, three sets of men's gold treasure with a blue background, and two sets of women's gold treasure with a red background." ”

That is to say, a total of six people died in his family, an old man, three young men and two young women, such a big family, in the end, only this small guy in front of him remained, which is really pitiful.

"I have ready-made shrouds in my store, which were made in advance by my grandmother and me before, and I can wrap them for you now." As I spoke, I prepared to pick up the shroud.

But I didn't expect the little guy to wave his hand again and again: "No, I don't want ready-made, the size is big and small, and the dress is not suitable, I will report the size to you, can you help me make it as soon as possible?" ”

"That's absolutely not going to work." Even if I refused, "The shroud is not about size, it is a uniform size, and it will be slightly larger than the general body type, after all, it is necessary to completely cover the hands and feet, there are many ways in it, and they are all customary rules in the industry, and most people know it." ”

"Really?" The little maid looked embarrassed, "But I just want my relatives to walk decently, and being able to wear decent clothes is the most basic, Miss Meng, you are doing well, just make an exception to help me this time, I can add more money." ”

"It's not a question of whether to add money or not, you just give me a mountain of gold, and I can't break the rules in our industry." I said solemnly, "If you are not afraid of getting into trouble, I advise you not to go your own way." ”

The little guy stood in the store, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Meng is an expert, so follow what Miss Meng said, but my relatives died unexpectedly, and my soul is not at peace. We will never treat you badly when it comes to remuneration. ”

"Is your house far from here?" I still remember Hu Dingtang's words in my heart, if it was far away, I would never go.

The little maid immediately said: "Not far away, my family lives in Daqing Village next door, and I drove an ox cart to pick up Miss Meng in the evening, okay?" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the evening." As I spoke, I put six sets of shrouds in a slippery manner, handed them to the little guy, and the little guy paid the money and left.

After he left, I always felt unsure, so I went to the side to find someone to ask about the specific location of Daqing Village.

The lady next door was very welcoming and described the location to me, but when she understood, I was shocked.

This Daqing village turned out to be just across the road from the two empty villages of the mass grave, the empty village was on the west side of the mountain road, and the Daqing village was on the east side.

Such a close distance made me a little worried, and when I returned to the store, I lay on the counter, thought about it, and suddenly thought about it in horror.

The little guy said that his relatives died on the train, and six people died at once, which would definitely be a particularly sensational thing, but so far, except for Professor Jin and his party, I really haven't heard of anything else.

Moreover, the six sets of shrouds bought by this little guy have the same ratio of men and women, old and young, exactly as Professor Jin and several of his students.

Don't......

A bold idea flashed through my mind, if I didn't go to that little guy's house tonight, I would be scolded ruthlessly at best, but if I did, I would probably get into trouble.
