A Thousand Knots: Chapter 64: The Last Witch
() Aunt Lan asked, "There are so many good-looking ones, why do you take a fancy to them?" ”
Cang Yang said: "Isn't this for sale?" ”
"I just think there's something better for her. These dozens of dollars of cheap goods have no purchase value at all. ”
Xiao Duxue was full of joy: "No matter how cheap something is, as long as I like it, it's good." You see, isn't it chic? ”
"If you like it." Aunt Lan took off the ring, wiped it clean with a cloth and wrapped it, "It's not convenient for you to read and write and wear it, so it's better to put it away and wear it later." ”
Xiao Duxue put the ring back on: "It's okay, just get used to it." She took out a hundred dollars and went to the plate again. After a moment, she picked up another very inconspicuous ring of swarthy black.
The ring was as thick as a vine ring, with extremely small leaves carved on it, and a small and delicate flower embedded in the middle, which was so dirty that it was impossible to see the original appearance. Carefully wiping away the dirt covering it, the ring revealed a silvery white color, and the flower came alive, like someone who had plucked a new flower and placed it on it, faintly carrying the moisture of the morning, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Xiao Duxue's gaze couldn't take her eyes off: "What kind of flower is this, so beautiful?" ”
"This ring is a flower with a woody flower embedded in the vine of the phoenix crown."
"Phoenix crown? What a gorgeous name! However, this flower looks elegant! Xiao Duxue put the ring on Fu Xuefeng's hand, "Wow, it's a perfect match!" ”
"You bought it for him? He's a boy. ”
"It doesn't matter, the right one is the best."
"Since you like it so much, why don't you give him the ring of the vine flower and keep the woody flower for yourself?"
"Of course, the best one should be given to Xuefeng, it doesn't matter what I wear." Xiao Duxue took Fu Xuefeng's hand and looked left and right, very satisfied, "It's so worthy of you!" Xuefeng, you have to take care of it, don't lose it. Look at it, don't we look like a couple? ”
"Like!" Fu Xuefeng smiled, "I like it!" ”
"Aunt Lan, how much is this ring?"
"Girl, good eye! Picked a good thing that ordinary people can't look at. I didn't take a penny from this ring, and I gave it to the girl. ”
"This is unacceptable! If it's a good thing, then it's all the more important to pay for. ”
"Girls don't have to be humble, I have my own reasons."
Xiao Duxue didn't say politely to anyone for the first time: "Then I'll thank you!" ”
Aunt Lan took some change from a tattered cardboard box and gave it to Cangyang: "There is no ghee at home, you can help me buy more back, and by the way, take the girl to visit the farmers' market and see the landscape here." She pointed at Fu Xuefeng and said, "Let this kid stay and help me put things back in place." People are old, their legs are not flexible, and they don't want to climb up and down. ”
Xiao Duxue told Fu Xuefeng a few words and followed Cangyang out.
Aunt Lan lit a paper cigarette and swallowed all the smoke into her stomach: "What is your relationship with this girl?" ”
Fu Xuefeng looked at the high mountains opposite, his eyes glazed.
"Don't be so nervous. Who you are, where you're from, where you're going, I don't care at all. I have pity on that girl to tell you this. This girl has been miserable all her life, and if you have pity on her, take care of her more. ”
Fu Xuefeng was silent.
Aunt Lan didn't care, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Actually, you don't need me to say it, you will also take care of her, because."
For her is a very important presence for you. However, I warn you: no matter how much power you have in the future, you must not keep her with you. Otherwise, it will bring her death, not to mention, but also yourself. ”
Fu Xuefeng spoke: "With me here, no one can hurt her." ”
"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. People who are qualified to be your opponents will naturally not be stupid. He doesn't have to trouble you at all, just attack her. This makes you sad more than it hurts you directly. This is the so-called hitting the snake and hitting the seven inches, hurting people and hurting the weakness, and she is your seven inches and weakness. ”
Fu Xuefeng turned his head and his eyes were sharp: "Do you know who I am?" ”
Aunt Lan flicked the cigarette ash and said, "No, I don't know, but I can look at the face." You are not a thing in the pool, and now it is only an expedient measure to be so down, sooner or later you will be above everyone; There are many thrills in your life, but you can turn evil into good fortune. But that girl is not so lucky, if she wants to live a long life, she must not only rely on luck, but also on creation. ”
"How to untie her life knot?"
"There is no solution. At least for now, there seems to be no solution. ”
"You mean, it's the Knot of Death?"
"Not necessarily. Although she has a bad fate, she also has nobles to help, but she will not go to the end of the road. ”
Fu Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief: "What kind of person will she marry?" ”
Aunt Lan popped the cigarette butt out of the distance: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." That's all I have to say. ”
"Why don't you let her buy a rattan ring?"
"You should be really careful!" Aunt Lan smiled helplessly, "My original intention was to let her pick a talisman, but she just took a fancy to the talisman." I might as well tell you that there's a little Karakuri on that ring, and sooner or later she'll find out. She's so smart she's going to make the most of it. I only hope that when the time comes, her subordinates will show mercy and not add to the killing. ”
"She won't do anything to kill someone."
"She's kind. But the kinder the person, the more ruthless he is. ”
"You don't have to sell it to her."
"Everything in the world, from where it comes from and where it goes, the fate has long been doomed, how can I be a little mortal who can control it? I don't sell it to her, she naturally has other ways, but it's just the same way. ”
Fu Xuefeng was speechless.
"If she had picked the ring in your hand, her fate would have been very different. It's a pity that she gave you all her good luck. If I'm not mistaken, she should have given you this life. And her kindness to you is much more than that. You don't want to take her down! ”
Fu Xuefeng was secretly frightened.
"Young man, don't lose your ring, it's a sacred relic that has been passed down from generation to generation in my clan, and I've been waiting for someone to be destined for it." Aunt Lan lit the last cigarette in the cigarette case, "If one day, she takes off the rattan flower ring, you have to give this back to her, this is hers." ”
"I can give it to her now."
"It's not the time yet."
"When will that be?"
"You'll know. Remember my words: don't force anything! ”
Cangyang's laughter came from outside the door. Aunt Lan and Fu Xuefeng terminated the conversation, one smoking, the other in a daze.
Later, Fu Xuefeng inadvertently learned that Aunt Lan's family is proficient in the art of face-to-face, and has made a living from face-to-face for generations, and has a great reputation. Every thirty years, the family produces a fine
A woman who is proficient in witchcraft, looks at the past life, talks about this life, and knows everything in the world. Many famous families did not hesitate to hire each other with a lot of money and took it for their own use. In Aunt Lan's generation, people were no longer obsessed with witchcraft, and this once-prosperous family gradually declined. Aunt Lan is the last bloodline of this family and the last wizard.
After that, no one saw Aunt Lan again. Later, I heard that she had died on a snowy night, and that she had been found gnawed by wild dogs. No one cares how she died, no one cares about what happened to her, people are more interested in her and her family's legends: she can predict the fortunes of others, but she can't see her own fate; can help others turn evil into good fortune, but they can't be lucky when they are in trouble; can see through other people's lives, but can't guess their own ending.
Some people say that if you want to get it, you have to lose it first. People who leak too many heavenly secrets will always die a good death. It's a punishment, a warning, and a curse.
From then on, there were no gods in the world.
*********************************************************************************************************************************
On the campus of K Normal University, the wood hibiscus flowers are full of flowers. This university, which covers an area of only two-thirds of Lingyun Middle School, has the largest number of cedar trees, except for evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses, and the rest are a few cedar trees. There are not many buildings, two teaching buildings, two student dormitories, a teacher's apartment, a multimedia complex, an office building, a teacher-student activity complex, a canteen, a commissary, and six private restaurants at the back gate. In this way, it is the department of this university.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Duxue finished visiting the school. She was in no mood to pay attention to the date of completion of the new student apartment and multimedia teaching building, she did not have time to lament the remoteness and desolation of the place, nor was she interested in the university life that was about to begin, let alone the yellowed wanted notice at the school gate. She is concerned about where she can find a job to earn money.
Near the school gate, in front of the activity building surrounded by pines and cypresses, the bulletin board full of various information is particularly conspicuous. Xiao Duxue read the above instructions for new students and recruitment information one by one, thinking about which jobs she can do, how much income she can expect each month, whether she has enough food and clothing for Su Wanyan, etc.
In the first week of school, she pocketed her favorite job and allocated her time to each day. She rode the bicycle that Cangyang had eliminated, rushing between the school and the restaurant, often stepping on the bell for the end of class and entering in time for the bell of class.
Zhang Yuhan's phone call came to the teaching office on a sunny day. For the first time, he was very angry with Xiao Duxue, and trained her to be red-faced, and hung up the phone directly after the training. The next day I called again, this time I didn't train anyone, but the smell of gunpowder in the words was still obvious. Xiao Duxue accompanied countless people, and he reluctantly left a sentence: If you can't pass the exam in a year, go back to tutoring!
Two weeks later, Xiao Duxue received an oversized box containing a large set of textbooks and examination materials for various subjects. There is a note in the book, just two simple words: Waiting for you! The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and as dashing as the stars and the moon.
Xiao Duxue smiled: The one who knows me best in this world is you!
