Chapter 80: Drag
There is also a gray-haired old man waiting for me in this big family.
Yi Tian saw me staring at the gazebo, and hurriedly said: "Sister Bai liked to take us to play in this pavilion the most, and grandpa also liked to teach us here, but it's a pity that ......"
Yi Tian sighed, I understand, it's a pity that I failed to cross the catastrophe later, and Grandpa Bai was seriously ill in bed again, and those carefree days are gone.
And this memory is also the sweetest one we have ever had, right?
"Grandpa must be in a hurry, Sister Bai, let's go quickly." Urging with sweetness.
I nodded quickly, longing to see the kind old man, but the further I went, the tighter my heart became, which was probably similar to the feeling of being more timid in the near home.
Since I was a child, I have no father and no mother, and I depend on my master for my life, I long for family affection, I long to integrate into a big family, to be loved by others, but I am afraid, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so I dare not ask for extravagance.
I walked forward with a lot of worries, and after entering the third courtyard, Yi Tian took me to Grandpa Bai's room.
As soon as the door opened, there was a strong smell of incense, mixed with the smell of medicine that could not be ignored, Grandpa Bai's bedroom was in the east room, the door was opened, and there was a curtain behind it, after opening the curtain, I saw a gray face, Grandpa Bai was lying on the bed with half-squinted eyes, looking particularly weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
He was thin, skinny, with exposed skin covered with age spots, and when he heard the noise, he shifted with difficulty, and lifted his eyelids to look at us.
It was just such a small movement, as if it had consumed all his strength, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, and finally gasped for air.
I stood at the door, looking at him, thinking about the old man in my dream, who had a childish face and a hundred times more energy, how could he not match the one in front of me.
He's really too old.
When I was looking at him, he was also looking at me, and it took a long time before he suddenly made a cooing sound from his throat, and then opened his mouth and cried like a child: "Glass girl, it's my glass girl who is back." ”
At that time, Yun Sheng was already standing at the head of the bed, Yi Tian was sitting on the edge of the bed, I was standing there, I didn't know what to do, but Yi Tian ran over and pushed me forward: "Sister Bai, grandpa is most concerned about you, let him take a good look at you." ”
I half-squatted in front of the bed, Grandpa Bai stretched out his thin hand, held my hand tightly, and burst into tears: "Yun Sheng really didn't lie to me, at that time he promised me that he would definitely bring my glass girl back, I waited and waited, I didn't dare to swallow it with a sigh, I just wanted to wait for my glass girl to come back." ”
"Many times, I am not in good health, I thought that I would never see you again before I died, but I didn't expect you to really come back."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
Grandpa Bai chattered, then raised his eyes to look at Yun Sheng, pulled Yun Sheng's hand with one hand, put my hand in Yun Sheng's hand, and said: "Li girl, grandpa is old, he can't take care of you for long, back then, if it weren't for Yun Sheng, you would have been gone, Yun Sheng is your savior, what if, what if you ...... If I have him to take care of you in a hundred years, grandpa will be relieved. ”
This sounds so familiar.
When my master was dying, he also put our hands together like this, and also matched me and Yunsheng like this.
What can I say? In this state, opposition is very untimely, and besides, is it useful for me to oppose it?
Yun Sheng opened his mouth: "Grandpa Bai, in fact, I brought Ah Li back this time because I have something to tell you." ”
He said and glanced at me, and said, "I am in love with Ah Li, after so many years, she has also grown up, I thought, if I don't come back this time, I will marry Ah Li into the door, so that you have a heart." ”
I was stunned, my hands trembled, why didn't I expect Yun Sheng to bring me back this time, he actually had such a thought, and he was going to marry me without warning, he was so sure that I would agree?
On the side, Grandpa Bai was very happy: "Really? Yun Sheng, do you really want to marry a glass girl? That's great. ”
"It's true, Grandpa Bai." Yun Sheng said, "Actually, I originally wanted to start a business first and then start a family, but Ali is too charming, and if I don't marry her home, I'm afraid that I will be robbed by others, so I want to go back today to find someone to choose a good day and marry Ali one day." ”
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Bai is waiting for you to come to the door to propose, the glass girl has just come back, so many years, there are too many new people in the family, and I will take this opportunity to introduce the glass girl to everyone, you will be together in the future, take care of the white fox family together, and I can take a back seat with peace of mind and live a happy life in my old age." Grandpa Bai laughed as he spoke, looking happy in his heart.
He let go of Yun Sheng's hand, held mine with both hands, and said earnestly: "Li girl, when you come back, you can live in peace, Grandpa Bai will compensate you for all the debts he has owed you for so many years." ”
"No......" I just wanted to say, 'You don't owe me anything', but I immediately received Yun Sheng's gaze to stop me, swallowed the words in my heart, and said instead, "Grandpa Bai, Ah Li, is no longer the Ah Li of the past, I ...... I don't have much power right now. ”
"Don't be afraid of this, with Yun Sheng here, you will get back everything you lost in the past, you are young, and the future is long." Grandpa Bai can see it.
I was silent, but I was vaguely aware of something.
Grandpa Bai said that he wanted to compensate me well, and also said that he wanted me and Yun Sheng to take care of the White Fox Clan together in the future, which actually meant that it was obvious that the entire White Fox Clan would be handed over to me.
What can I do? I couldn't pick up such a heavy burden, but Yun Sheng was so anxious not to let me refuse Grandpa Bai, Sima Zhao's heart was known to everyone.
I also finally understood why Yun Sheng told Grandpa Bai that he wanted to marry me as soon as he came back, his purpose was not to marry me, but to use me to successfully include the White Fox clan in his pocket.
Speaking of which, he doesn't calculate me all the time, but I have to marry such a person?
If I don't get married, can I escape?
After a few more pleasantries, Yun Sheng said, "Grandpa Bai, I'll take Ah Li to my place, okay?" ”
"Go on, go on, you young people have a lot to talk about together." Grandpa Bai said, letting go of my hand, "I'm also tired, this old arm and legs, I really can't move." ”
Yun Sheng took me to leave, when I stood up, Grandpa Bai suddenly grabbed my hand again, I looked back at him, and he confessed again: "Li girl, all the way, I haven't had a good meal, come over for dinner and eat with Grandpa Bai, okay?" ”
I nodded, "Okay, I'll come over at dinner." ”
Grandpa Bai looked at Yi Tian again and asked, "Yi Tian, has the room I asked you to prepare for Sister Bai to help you clean up?" ”
"It's already been packed, grandpa, you can rest assured." Sweetly replied.
Yun Sheng said: "Grandpa Bai, you don't have to worry about it, Ah Li lives on my side, I know her preferences, and I have arranged it early in the morning." ”
Why did he arrange it for me, so that he could spy on me nearby, right?
Grandpa Bai didn't refuse, but said: "It's okay to stay with you these days, but after the wedding date is set, the glass girl has to move back to live for a few days, and then marry you in a beautiful way, don't fall into other people's mouths, Yunsheng, you said that Grandpa Bai arranged it like this, right?" ”
"Grandpa Bai thinks more thoughtfully than Yunsheng." Yun Sheng chimed in.
……
When I came out of Grandpa Bai, there were many people outside looking at me from afar, smiling at me kindly, and I felt like a monkey in a zoo at that time, being watched by tourists.
Maybe it was because Yun Sheng had been with me, and no one came forward to greet me, Yun Sheng led me out of the enchantment, walked a few hundred meters to the west, and entered another enchantment again.
Compared to the White Fox Clan, the buildings in this enchantment are really shabby, a bare two-story building stands there, surrounded by a courtyard, quiet, as if no one lives in it.
"This is my private territory, I will practice here during retreat, and I usually live on the side of the White Fox Clan," Yun Sheng took me into the living room and continued, "After we got married, we lived here, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Senior brother, do you really want to marry me?" I asked.
"Of course." He smiled, "I've already told Grandpa Bai, will I still go back on my word?" ”
"You don't dislike me......" I wanted to say but stopped.
Yun Sheng shook his head: "In my eyes, you will always be the original appearance and have never changed." ”
Oh, it has never changed, this is hypocritical enough.
I haven't slept since yesterday evening, and I've been in the car for a few hours, I'm already tired, and at this time I just yawned, and tears came out, I wiped it, and said embarrassedly to Yunsheng: "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy, I feel like my brain is out of control, it's muddy, I may need to sleep." ”
"Your room is upstairs, I'll take you there." Yun Sheng didn't embarrass me and took me upstairs.
My room is next to the master bedroom, the room is quite large, and the decoration inside is antique, but it meets my aesthetics.
"You go to sleep first, and I'll wake you up at dinner time." Yun Sheng said.
I nodded, hit another Hache, covered my mouth, and looked at Yun Sheng with some embarrassment, Yun Sheng was amused by me: "Sleep, sleep, I won't let you sleep again, I feel like I've broken the law." ”
I also unceremoniously took off my shoes and climbed into bed, pulled the quilt and wrapped myself in it, Yun Sheng retreated and closed the door with his hand.
I lay there wrapped in a quilt, indeed sleepy, but still pricked up my ears to listen to the movement outside, after making sure that Yun Sheng had indeed gone downstairs, I put my left hand into the right cuff, fumbled and took out a note from it, carefully unfolded it, and saw a word written on it: "Drag." ”
Before leaving, when Grandpa Bai was holding my hand, he quietly stuffed it into my cuffs, and he was guarding against Yun Sheng.
And the word 'drag' is intriguing, and it also made my originally nervous heart settle down all of a sudden.
From Jiangcheng to Changbai Mountain, what is the situation I am most afraid of?
It's that the White Fox Clan has been conquered by Yun Sheng up and down, and what he says is the final word, and he is supported by the entire White Fox Clan, in that case, I may really not be able to escape his clutches.
But later, judging from Yi Tian's attitude and the note that Grandpa Bai gave me now, I was too worried.
Although Grandpa Bai looks old, his thinking is agile, Yun Sheng grew up with him, what kind of person is this, Grandpa Bai is clear.
Therefore, from the moment Yun Sheng decided to bring me back to the White Fox Clan, what he wanted to do with me, Grandpa Bai saw it.
Grandpa Bai doesn't want me to be controlled by Yun Sheng, but he doesn't have the ability to bring down Yun Sheng, but he wants to hand over the entire White Fox Clan to me, such a complicated situation makes people really helpless.
Yun Sheng wants to marry me as soon as possible, put his hand into the White Fox Clan thoroughly, take the place of Grandpa Bai and me step by step, and become the veritable leader of the White Fox Clan, his ambition, I understand, Grandpa Bai understands better.
But how can I successfully hold Yunsheng back?
……
What I didn't expect was that someone gave me the opportunity to procrastinate before I could figure out how to act.
In the evening of the same day, Yun Sheng took me to have dinner with Grandpa Bai, who usually brought it to his room to eat by himself because of his poor health, but today he waited in the restaurant with everyone in a wheelchair.
When we arrived, there were already a lot of people sitting in the restaurant, all of whom were the most important leaders in the White Fox clan.
Before I could set foot in the restaurant, someone stepped forward and blocked my way.
It was a middle-aged man, with a cold face and no smile, he was originally sitting on the left hand side of Grandpa Bai, which shows how high his status is in the White Fox clan.
But he stood in front of me and said to Yun Sheng: "Yun Sheng, what do you mean? ”
"Uncle, I'm confused about what you asked." Yun Sheng said innocently.
The big man pointed at me and asked, "Why do you want to bring a mortal who looks nine points like Bai Li to confuse the public, bully the old man and his old eyes are dizzy, and he can't distinguish the real from the fake?" The old man treats you well, right? ”
"Uncle, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, whether Ali used to be Baili, I know better than anyone else, please don't speculate on it, it chills Ali's heart." Yun Sheng argued.
Dahan was unrelenting: "You said that she is white glass, she is white glass?" How important is the purity of the fox clan's bloodline, you know better than me, as an elder in the clan, I would rather chill the hearts of some people than let an ordinary human enter by mistake and disturb the order, don't you say? ”
Yun Sheng said word by word: "She is white glass, real white glass." ”
"It's a mule or a horse, don't you know if you drag it out?" Dahan glanced at me and said, "Every child of the fox clan who has cultivation talent, when he is born, will go to the ancestral hall to leave a mark on the genealogy, and leave a few drops of his blood in the ancestral hall, no matter how it is reincarnated, the bloodline will not change." ”
"Since you said that this white glass is the eight-tailed white glass with the best cultivation talent of the fox clan in the past, wouldn't it be better to go to the ancestral hall to test it and correct her name?"
"Nonsense!" Grandpa Bai finally spoke, his tone was full of anger, "Fuhu, is it a glass girl standing at the door, can I still be mistaken?" What do you mean by that? ”
"Father, you are this age, it is not impossible to look away, the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, so are you afraid to test the real body?" Bai Fuhu insisted.
There were many people waiting at the table, they were all hungry, waiting for the meal to start, but now they were eager to pull me to the ancestral hall immediately, and after the inspection, the meal was ready.
So soon someone said: "The test will be tested, and there will be no loss of meat." ”
"Yes, there are many people who look exactly the same in this world, I looked at the little girl standing there, the shadows were incomplete, how could it be our family's eight-tailed Ali?"
"Our family's Ah Li has eight tails, if you don't want to go to the ancestral hall for a blood test, then test the tail first."
……
The questioning one after another provoked Yun Sheng's face to become darker and darker, everyone was talking nonsense, except for Grandpa Bai, everyone else seemed to be trying to get me away.
But when I looked at Grandpa Bai, I understood that the reason why these people embarrassed me should be because Grandpa Bai instructed them to 'drag'.
And at this moment, I suddenly realized a question, what is Grandpa Bai dragging?
He is already old, can he still drag Yun Sheng to death?
Yun Sheng can wreak havoc on the White Fox Clan for thousands of years, which shows that the White Fox Clan has no killer weapon to hold Yun Sheng, so what's the point of dragging it?
Who is Grandpa Bai waiting for to rescue the entire White Fox Clan?
"Okay, test it, I'm going to make all of you wide-eyed see clearly, Ah Li, it's indeed back!" Yun Sheng was forced to the end, couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion from so many people, and finally led me to the ancestral hall.
Yi Tian pushed the wheelchair and sent Grandpa Bai over.
The ancestral hall of the White Fox clan is very large and magnificent, with carved beams and paintings, and special people to guard it.
As soon as you enter the gate of the ancestral hall, you will be greeted by a triangular copper tripod, half a person high, which is full of incense candles, and the incense ash has accumulated a lot.
In front of the triangular copper tripod, there is the table, the table is very large, and a large number of tablets are neatly arranged, those tablets are a little different from the tablets we usually see, and the red, red, green and green ones on it look very strange.
After our group entered, someone immediately brought a plate, the plate was covered with a red cloth, and Grandpa Bai stepped forward with sweetness, and Grandpa Bai lifted the red cloth, revealing a small boxy big red box below, and when the small box was opened, there was a small porcelain bottle lying quietly inside, and a sharp knife with a cold light was placed next to it.
Bai Fuhu brought a bowl with water in it, he put the bowl on the tray, then picked up the small porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured the contents into the bowl.
After the few drops of blood were poured in, they did not dissolve into the water, but floated in the upper layer of the water in the shape of beads, looking like demonic blood flowers.
He then picked up the sharp knife next to him, handed it directly to me and said, "Do you want to come by yourself, or do you want me to come?" ”
Yun Sheng took the sharp knife over, took my right hand, and gently slashed it on the index finger of his right hand, and the blood beads immediately fell down and fell into the water.
Two waves of blood beads kept spinning on the water, stirring up a whirlpool that was neither deep nor shallow in the small bowl, and it could not be stopped for a long time.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the bowl.
After I came back, Grandpa Bai intended to let me take care of the affairs of the White Fox Clan, which was unconvincing and even unbearable for many people who had worked diligently in the White Fox Clan for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
They don't want me to be famous, they don't want to confirm my identity.
There is also a group of people who are Grandpa Bai's henchmen, they know relatively more about the inside story, and they understand the relationship between me and Yun Sheng that is mutually restrained and complementary, so they are quiet.
It wasn't until the whirlpool in the bowl slowly disappeared and the water surface returned to calm that everyone burst into laughter.
"Yun Sheng, what else do you have to say?"
"The blood of the eight-tailed white glass is not fused with the blood of your fake Ali, you said that they are the same person, and they slapped themselves in the face, right?"
"Impostors, get out of our white fox clan, blatantly step into our realm, and look for death."
……
The ancestral hall was boiling, Yun Sheng stood fixedly, his face was already black to the bottom of the pot, I lowered my head, looked at my nose, looked at my nose, and looked at my heart, and I didn't care about these.
After a while, an exclamation interrupted everyone's accusations: "You see, the blood is beginning to fuse. ”
This cry drew everyone's attention back to the bowl.
Originally, the blood beads on the water surface seemed to be alive, one devouring the other, quickly fused, and slowly dissolved in the water.
The transparent and clean water gradually turned blood red, and in the end, only a bright red drop of blood swirled on the blood water and did not disappear.
Yun Sheng opened his mouth at this time: "Back then, Ah Li jumped to Sendai for the entire White Fox Clan, and was accidentally hit by the heavens, shattering the three souls and seven spirits, and was lucky to be collected by me, and after so many years of hard work, he finally came back to life. ”
"Although the Ah Li in this body now is not a complete Ah Li, but that spirit has always been in my hands, find the right time, I will inject that spirit into Ah Li's soul, at that time, the eight-tailed white glass you are talking about will really stand in front of you."
"I've been working hard, why don't you appreciate it all the time?"
Yun Sheng began to fight back: "Although I was born in the Black Fox Clan, what flows in my blood is still the blood of our Fox Clan, we are a family, aren't we?" ”
"Yun Sheng, you think too much, we didn't reject you, it's just that the eight-tailed white glass is too important for our white fox clan, and it's too indebted, we are afraid that we will pay the guilt of the fake person by mistake, so for the sake of prudence, check it, it's not wrong, isn't it?" Bai Fuhu changed his mind at this time and began to reason with Yun Sheng.
Grandpa Bai reprimanded: "Boss, you bastard, you don't even believe your words, and say that I am dizzy, now I can see clearly, who is the old dizzy?" ”
"Father, I was wrong." Bai Fuhu bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
At this time, a voice came in from outside: "Everyone is in the ancestral hall, let me find it easily." ”
Everyone's eyes looked outside, and they saw Mo Xianzhen holding a box in his hand, followed by a group of people, all carrying several large wooden boxes, walking towards the ancestral hall.
