Chapter Seventy-One: Memory

One rainy day, Lan Ruoxi sat at the door, looking at the streets where people came and went, looking for her father's shadow on the muddy streets.

I don't know how many days have passed, Lan Ruoxi's father still hasn't come back.

Every day, a person wakes up early, makes breakfast, goes to school, gets out of school, and cooks.

Repeating this, as always, looking forward to her father's return, during this period, Lan Ruoxi saw some white souls many times, and from time to time, she also greeted them.

"Ruoxi, go to my house."

A little girl, it is Tong Xiaomeng, she is smiling, the teeth in her mouth are missing so few, but there are a few more childish cuteness.

"Xiaomeng, don't go, you should go back early."

"Ruoxi, why do you go to and from school every day, you go alone, why don't you wait for me."

"Xiaomeng, can you go back?"

"No, I want you to go to my house." Tong Xiaomeng said, then pulled Lan Ruoxi, and in the end, Lan Ruoxi nodded and agreed.

At night, the two children, sleeping under the quilt, whispered.

Suddenly, a dark shadow walked into the room.

"Hey, what are you doing? Messing into someone's house. ”

Lan Ruoxi immediately spoke and said reprimandingly.

"You can see me, little girl."

"Of course."

It was a ghost, he laughed grimly, creepy.

Tong Xiaomeng was already asleep, and at this time, the ghost, all of a sudden, floated to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand, and was about to catch Lan Ruoxi, fiercely, Lan Ruoxi, took out a talisman from his arms, and the ghost screamed and retreated.

"You have the ability to chase me."

Lan Ruoxi ignored it, ran out of the room, and ran directly downstairs.

The ghost kept pushing behind Lan Ruoxi, Lan Ruoxi's young body was constantly running, it seemed to be deliberate, she sensed that the ghost had bad intentions, and she didn't want to make trouble for Tong Xiaomeng's family, so she used herself as a bait to lure the ghost away.

"You can't run away, little girl."

In the end, Lan Ruoxi was still caught, and the ghost seemed to want to eat her.

The young Lan Ruoxi did not have the slightest cowardice in her eyes.

"What are you going to do to my daughter?"

It was Lan Ruoxi's father, he came back, and he cleaned up the ghost in a few clicks.

"Are you afraid? Ruoxi. ”

"Don't be afraid, Dad, hmph, that guy is too good."

After a short time together, in just three days, Lan Ruoxi's father left again.

Before leaving, he kissed Lan Ruoxi's forehead.

After many years, Lan Ruoxi and her father are like separating, a year, they can't get along for a few days, and her father seems to be getting more and more tired and getting old.

Lan Ruoxi was in her first year of high school, and she was very slim, and many suitors who came to her place lined up in a long line, but they refused one by one.

And Lan Ruoxi would say some things from time to time, such as, which person, which day, what time period, would be sick or injured, and gradually, many classmates thought she was weird and stayed away from her.

And I was vaguely aware that it seemed to be her intention.

In the end, a big event happened, Lan Ruoxi once said in front of her that a teacher would die, but as a result, something really happened, and then, she was completely criticized and excluded.

At this time, only Tong Xiaomeng was constantly comforting her, accompanying her, and never giving up.

It's another dusk, Lan Ruoxi has prepared a lot of food, a big table, his father, come back today.

As soon as he entered the door, Lan Ruoxi's father was so tired that he fell asleep.

It wasn't until late at night that Lan Ruoxi's father got up and ate his daughter's hot meal.

"Dad, did Grandpa give you a dream?"

"Hmm."

"Grandpa is down there, how's it going?"

Lan Ruoxi's father sighed and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"There are still 1,037 souls that need to be collected, your grandfather, so that you can be reincarnated and become a new person."

"Dad, what you taught me, I'm almost done, or I'll help you, so that you can ...... quickly"

"Silly boy, it's not your turn yet, do you want your dad and me to go down and report in advance?"

Lan Ruoxi's father smiled softly, and stroked Lan Ruoxi's forehead with his big hand, while Lan Ruoxi looked at it as if she didn't understand.

Then, Lan Ruoxi's father rarely went out, as if he had something on his mind, and his expression was solemn all day long.

On a weekend, a rare time, Lan Ruoxi and her father went fishing in a lake.

"Dad, have you been thinking about anything lately?"

Lan Ruoxi asked, but her father shook his head and didn't speak.

"Grandpa has been dreaming lately, what do you say?"

"Let's fish, Ruoxi, I love to eat the braised fish you made."

For a whole day, Lan Ruoxi's father didn't say a few words to her.

"Dad, why haven't you gone out recently, doesn't it mean, grandpa, suffering below, if you don't finish collecting your soul quickly, he won't be able to reincarnate?"

"Shut up." Lan Ruoxi's father is angry, this is the first time I have seen him, he is angry with Lan Ruoxi, the originally gentle man, this will, but it seems to be a different person.

"Dad, don't drink it, okay? Tell me okay? What's going on? ”

With a slap, Lan Ruoxi's father made a move, and he hit Lan Ruoxi for the first time.

Lan Ruoxi looked at her drunken father with tears in her eyes, covering her mouth.

"Shut up, shut up for me, you... Shut up ...... me."

Lan Ruoxi's father was drunk.

He drank heavily all day long, and he was originally in good shape, but his skin became yellow, unkempt, and his body was thin.

snapped, Lan Ruoxi slapped again, this time, she didn't cry, but glared at her father and didn't say a word.

This will, Lan Ruoxi is in her third year of high school.

The originally happy father and daughter seemed to have an invisible crack, Lan Ruoxi didn't know how many times she had asked, but in exchange for swearing and slapping.

With a "bang", Lan Ruoxi smashed the wine bottle in front of her father.

"Drink, drink quickly......"

Lan Ruoxi's father stretched out his trembling hand, held the wine bottle, and unscrewed the lid.

"Dad......" Lan Ruoxi knelt on the ground, hugged her father's legs, and cried.

"Don't drink it, I beg you, Dad, don't drink it, don't drink it."

With a grunt, Lan Ruoxi's father lifted the wine bottle and poured it.

With a snap, Lan Ruoxi raised her hand and gave him a slap, and with a bang, the wine bottle fell to the ground, shattered, and fell apart.

"You tell me, Dad, you tell me, Dad, what's wrong? What? I beg you......"

Lan Ruoxi cried and prayed, but her father didn't say a word, smiling stupidly, his eyes were scattered.

Until the tears dried up and the throat was hoarse, Lan Ruoxi's father didn't say a word.

"Maybe ......" Lan Ruoxi's father spit out two words, she raised her head, her red and swollen eyes, and looked at her father incredulously.

"This is the fate of our people in Huangquan......"

Lan Ruoxi entered the university, and at this time, Lan Ruoxi's father began to go out again and did not go home all day.

The father and daughter, when they met, were like passers-by, and they were almost speechless.

One weekend, Lan Ruoxi's father came home, and Lan Ruoxi, who had already slept, still made a meal as always.

At this time, Lan Ruoxi's father, after finishing the meal, was eating, but I saw that his tears, along with the pearls with broken threads, were kept, crying while eating.

There was no sound, just silent tears.

"Dad......" Lan Ruoxi stood behind him, choking.

"Ah......h

With a sense of grief and indignation, Lan Ruoxi's father cried and hugged Lan Ruoxi tightly.

"I'm sorry, daughter, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"Dad, you get up, you get up... Tell me, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

After calming down for a while, Lan Ruoxi's father took out a soul card and a purple sand gourd.

"Dad, this is the soul gourd and the soul attraction card, how can it ......"

Lan Ruoxi's father, his hands trembled, and handed over the two things.

Just as Lan Ruoxi was about to catch it, suddenly, his father stood up, holding two things, and was about to fall to the ground.

"Dad......" Lan Ruoxi pressed her father's hands.

"Ruoxi, you signed this thing."

Lan Ruoxi's father took a piece of white paper full of words and handed it over, and after Lan Ruoxi read it, tears flowed out.

"Dad, why, why did you cut off the father-daughter relationship with me? Why? ”

Lan Ruoxi kept shaking his father, and the father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

"Ruoxi, when I went out, by chance, I knew the essence of Huangquan."

Lan Ruoxi looked at it suspiciously.

"As a person of Huangquan, the head of each clan must collect 9999 souls, your previous generation, can be reincarnated, and also, you must give all the knowledge of Huangquan to the next generation, if you don't teach, every night, you can't sleep peacefully, and the underworld will let your parents continue to give you dreams."

"Then why ......"

"Ruoxi, I can't bear you, I can't bear you, once the 9999 souls are full, I will die, and you must inherit my things, pass them on from generation to generation, find someone to marry and have children, and cultivate the next generation."

Lan Ruoxi looked at it in amazement.

"Listen, Ruoxi, for so many years, someone has pointed out a way for me to cut off the father-daughter relationship with you, today, I have collected enough 9999 souls, and time is running out."

"Dad......"

"Our family should also be freed, you sign it, Ruoxi, once we sever the father-daughter relationship, heaven and earth are the proof, and the people of the underworld can't do anything with you? But the work has to continue, remember, the people of Huangquan know their lifespan, you don't want to get married and have children, you can't let Huangquan harm the next generation. ”

Lan Ruoxi nodded.

"As long as you collect the corresponding soul within the time limit of your yang life, your grandfather has been liberated, and now, you sign this thing, we are not father and daughter, there is nothing that can threaten you, pester you, you are free, at least in this life, after you die, the task will be completed, and you can be reincarnated with peace of mind."

"Put, Dad, Dad, what are you going to do? If you do this, can the people of the underworld let you go? ”

Fiercely, Lan Ruoxi's father hugged her forehead and kissed her.

"Don't worry, child, don't worry, I found a master, he will temporarily contain me, you sign quickly, sign, I'm leaving, in the future, our father and daughter, there may be a chance to reunite."

Lan Ruoxi wiped away her tears, held the pen, bit her fingers, stained with blood, her hands trembled, and wrote the words "Lan Ruoxi" on the father-daughter severance book.
