Autumn in Qin'an is particularly beautiful. Large golden leaves covered the woods outside the town, and when the sun shone on them, it seemed to be covered with gold, so bright that no one could open their eyes. In this golden wood, a ruined temple stood quietly in the middle. On a late autumn morning, when the sun rises in the east, the ruined temple looks particularly peaceful and sacred under the sun's halo. Although it has become rare to see people in the town as the residents have moved, the paved road in front of the ruined temple shows how popular it used to be. A long time ago, it was a place where people came to pray for blessings and wishes. After people built the Lotus Temple in Lotus Mountain, it became a place that everyone yearns for. This dilapidated temple was destroyed day after day. Gradually, people forgot about it, and no one remembered it again.

In this forgotten ruined temple, under the majestic statue of the god, is a wide temple platform. There was a thin layer of hay in it, scattered and sparse, and there was no place to spread it. At this moment, there was a person lying on it, this person was already dying, and his closed eyes were no longer able to open them. His face was no longer clear as it was, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a man through the tattered clothes on his body, lacking a piece of clothing in the east and a piece in the west. I don't know where he came from or why he got the way he is. Here he was struggling to support himself, clutching a straw tightly in his hand, panting in his throat, his mouth was open, and his lips trembled terribly. I couldn't hear what he was saying, except that he kept saying the word "wine". He already looks like he is out of breath, is he still thinking about drinking? Is this man an alcoholic? No one can answer.

Jiu'er returned to Qin'an Town when it was close to noon, she found a small alley where no one would come, transformed into a black cat, and then hurriedly ran to Liu's house. As he ran, he said to himself, "Idiot, I'm back." Forgive me for not returning as scheduled, and I will never leave you again, waiting for me. ”

The Liu family's compound is as usual, more than a year has passed, and there is not much change here, and it is still familiar to her. She jumped in from the wall and walked to the courtyard where Liu Ping'an was. Walking all the way, she found that it was terrifyingly quiet here, and she didn't see Master Liu and Mrs. Liu, nor did she see the familiar maids before. She wondered to herself, where had they gone? None of them are here, so what about Liu Ping'an? Did they move away?

While she was wondering in her heart, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gate, followed by the voices of several people in her ears. "Ah Fu, are you ready for what I want?" This voice was very ear-grown, and she had never heard it in Liu's house. Who is this? Also Who is Ah Fu?

"Ready, sir, I will do your work at your fingertips, and I guarantee your satisfaction." Ah Fu's flattering voice came, as if it was a pug whose owner was faithful, and he almost didn't lick his master's shoes.

"Well done. I'm going to see the county magistrate this time, and the courtesy is not to be lost, and it's very rewarding! Hahaha! There was a loud and cheerful laugh, and he was full of joy, as if a great joy had fallen on his head. Listening to the sound of their striding footsteps, she froze in place, waiting for the person who was getting closer and closer.

"Hey, Ah Fu, whose cat is this? How did you come to our house? The unfamiliar voice sounded again, and this time Jiu'er saw his appearance clearly, it turned out to be somewhat similar to Master Liu, but he was much older than Master Liu. So where did Master Liu go? How did the owner here become him?

"Master, I'm afraid the wild cats outside have run in. Look at its fierce appearance, it looks like it was raised by people. I'm going to get rid of it. "The man named Ah Fu was tall and strong, his body was like a tower, and the way he nodded and bowed his waist pulled his height down a lot. The old man who walked in front with his head held high was a few points taller than him.

"Go quickly, go quickly, there is such a black cooing cat at home, it's really unlucky!" The old man shook his wide sleeves and turned away. When Ah Fu heard this, he hurriedly found a stick and wanted to drive away the black cat that was motionless. It's just strange that when he got back there again, the black cat was gone. He looked around for a while, but he found no trace of the black cat, so he had to put the stick down and hurried to his master. What are you kidding, he doesn't want to waste a good reward for being a brute.

The black cat that left from here turned into the appearance of a girl in black again, she swaggered towards the gate of Liu's house, grabbed the two big copper rings on the door, and knocked on the door a few times. The scarlet gate was pulled open from the inside. There were two "babbling" sounds from the heavy door, and then a man dressed as a servant came out of it. Seeing a strange girl standing outside the door, she opened her mouth and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”

"This big brother, I want to find someone named Liu Ping'an. Please let the eldest brother know. The girl grinned at the person who opened the door, and said the name of the person she was looking for.

"Liu Ping'an? I don't know, he doesn't live here. ”

"What about Master Liu Zhen, who originally lived here?"

"You're talking about him, huh? He died long ago. Now the head of the house is Liu Zhen's uncle. ”

Jiu'er was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, Liu Zhen is dead, what about his son Liu Ping'an?" It's Liu Ping'an who can't speak, and the people in the town used to call him the son of Mingyue, so where did he go? ”

"Oh, you're talking about the mute." The little guy suddenly realized. He stopped talking and looked Jiu'er up and down with suspicious eyes. "What is this for, you ask? Who are you? ”

Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled on his face, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over. "Big brother, tell me if you are kind. Well, I'm not one of the admirers of Mingyue Gongzi, I'm here, and today is the first time I've been to this Qin'an Town. was careful, not respectful, and bothered the eldest brother to inform Liu Gongzi's whereabouts, so that I could have a glimpse of his demeanor. ”

"Snort, I still have a glimpse of the style, he, he has already driven our master out, it is estimated that he is already a person on the street who asks for food at this time, where is there any Mingyue Gongzi. Seeing that you know you so well, I will be merciful enough to tell you one more piece of news, but you can't tell anyone that I said it. The man stretched out his hand and quickly took the silver in her hand, and opened his mouth to bite the silver, and then quickly hid the silver in his bosom before he spoke again slowly.

"I heard the woodcutter surnamed Li say once, he saw the mute man once in a ruined temple in the woods in the back mountain, but it is said that the man is now not a human ghost or a ghost, and he can't see whether it is the person you are talking about." The man looked around mysteriously before lowering his voice.

After finishing speaking, the man took a step back, tightly clutched the silver in his arms, stared at the girl in front of him whose face had changed drastically and stammered, "You, don't you want to take the silver back." I, I said okay, that person can't see clearly, if it's not the person you're looking for, don't blame me. After speaking, he took a few steps back, and then hurriedly closed the door, and locked the door inside with a snap, for fear that Jiu'er would ask for the silver back if he didn't say anything.

As soon as Jiu'er heard the man's words, his heart was cold, and he secretly said "not good", and ran towards the woods in the man's mouth. Along the way, she asked if she had ever seen Liu Ping'an, that is, the mute of the Liu family, the son of Mingyue, had you ever seen him? Everyone avoided her like a snake and scorpion, and hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands. She was so anxious, what happened to the Liu family during her absence? What happened to Liu Ping'an? Who can tell her.

She searched and searched all the way, until it was dark, and only then did she find the ruined temple that the man had spoken of. It was dark, but there was no light in the temple, and there was a deathly silence, and the darkness swallowed up the whole woods, and gradually pulled her high heart into the abyss. No, it won't. He's not going to be in this kind of place, he's not going to belong here.

She chanted a spell in her mouth and reached out to conjure a pearl of the night. The light of the Night Pearl illuminated everything in front of her, and the ruined temple fell completely into her eyes. Her figure flashed and she entered the temple. "Nerd? Nerd? Liu Ping'an? Qin Hao? She called out all the names she had called him before, but she didn't hear a response. Her mood completely hit rock bottom. The familiar scene, everything that happened in the Qin Mansion in the previous life appeared in front of me again, and the tragedy repeated again.

"Nerd? Nerds! You're answering me! She was like crazy, and threw away the pearl of the night, and the pearl covered the earth, and half of the light was covered on the ground. She rummaged through the entire ruined temple, and finally found a small body curled up in the deepest part of the temple platform. She screamed and lunged over there. With trembling hands, he hugged the shrunken body in his arms, and then gently brushed away the messy hair on the man's face, revealing the familiar face.

Her heart instantly shattered, and she lost him again. His cold body was in her arms, and as in the previous life, she saw his breathless body. She broke her appointment, she didn't protect him well, and let him face life and death alone in this eerie and terrifying place. Thinking of his panic, his fear, and his hope for her all these days, hoping that she would appear by his side, hoping that she would save him. She didn't show up until she died, how desperate he must have been at that time.

Jiu'er cried earth-shatteringly, and the wind and clouds changed color. She grabbed his hand and looked at this Liu Ping'an, who was covered in dirt, ragged, full of fear, and couldn't see it, Jiu'er wanted to cry out her heart. Maybe after crying out her heart, she will feel better. Such a poor Liu Ping'an stabbed her eyes deeply. He couldn't speak, he left home, left his parents, and he was not even as good as grass mustard. Those who were blind, how much they once loved him, and now they dislike him, and they don't even give him a place to live, making him a man who is not even as good as a wild dog.

Who made him look like this? She must find out the truth and get back what she owes him one by one. With the experience of the previous life, she knew where to find him and what was going to happen next. Even if this life is over, she will help him get justice back. Thinking about it this way, she was much calmer. She'll need to get things done here so she can catch up with him in the underworld.

She didn't expect to come back to see him like this, and the nightmare of the previous life appeared again. She used to praise the King of Heaven for giving him a good life, but now it seems that how he offended the King of Heaven and actually punished him like this continuously. At present, there is not a single time that he has lived past the age of twenty, and how much the king hates him. Hmph, if you have a chance in the future, you must ask clearly. It's too bullying, and every time it happens when she leaves him, it makes her feel embarrassed.
