For more than half a year, Xiao Qinghe took the white-faced scholar to many places, most of the time in the north, among which there was naturally Xiao Qinghe who had never been to Beijing before his death, just staying in the capital of the motherland, before and after adding up to more than two months, it can be regarded as the completion of a wish that he failed to do before his death, and the white-faced scholar finally truly appreciated the magnificent charm of the modern metropolis, although they are destined to only be watched at night, and will never be able to integrate into it.

And about this ill-fated woman, but her heart has never been wiped out, the grand wish to save and extradite 10,000 souls who have similar experiences with her, although it can only be said that it has just begun, and there is still a long way to go before it is completed, but it is still a good start, and with the help of the white-faced scholar, more than 20 have been completed. Anyway, she still has a long time, and as long as she can continue to do it, sooner or later she will have a day when her merits will be fulfilled.

Of course, the main purpose of summoning them back this time was the white-faced scholar, and for me, this guy's "innate and deadly" natural ability has always been a mystery, and I have never understood what makes him so different. But now that I see it again, judging from the way he came up and teased me, it probably means that he is invisibly confusing people's minds.

Although on the surface, this doesn't seem to be anything peculiar, after all, I have already been in contact with the glamorous puppet made by Xie Yifan, and what this demon soul is best at is to confuse people's hearts, play with people and applaud, and be unguardable, but I believe that this guy can bring the cold and arrogant general soul into the seat and become the only ghost attendant, there must be his peculiarity, and it will never be as simple as it has been shown.

When the only attendant was released, the general's soul said that before the agreed three-year period arrived, the white-faced scholar did not need to come back to see him, and the implication was that he was not allowed to return to the general's grave, so when he heard that I called him back, mainly on behalf of his general, asked him about the situation for most of the past six months, and saw if there was any progress, this guy was still a little sad, changed his active temperament, and looked at the direction of the general's grave and was silent for a long time.

After all, he is a teenager, since he followed his own general, he has never left, but now he is going to be a full three years, even if he comes back, he can't look at the general's soul when he is close at hand, and it is indeed a little difficult for him, it's okay not to talk about it, once he talks about it, it will immediately arouse his infinite thoughts.

Fortunately, after following Xiao Qinghe to the south and north of the country for half a year, what he has been tempered is far more than just the improvement of his ability, and the progress of his heart is especially obvious. Although he is still the same as before in the face of acquaintances, as long as he has eyes, he can see, he has become a lot more calm and condensed, and he understands a lot. And this maturity and calmness that exudes all the time is something he didn't have before leaving the general's soul, which shows that letting him go at that time was a completely correct choice, otherwise with his previous temperament, he couldn't do it at all, and after being silent in the direction of the general's soul for a while, he put away his thoughts and returned to normal, and smiled again.

Because after seeing them, he had to go to the bank of the Xinyang River overnight to tell the general's soul, so he made sure that this guy's progress in most of the past half a year was obvious, and he didn't suffer any grievances by Xiao Qinghe's side, exchanged their recent situation with each other, talked about the old for a while, and agreed to return to the provincial capital, recuperate and then summon them back to meet, Xiao Qinghe took it, showing some reluctance, and turned back to look at the white-faced scholar in the direction of the general's grave several times and left.

After seeing them leave, disappearing into the night, and enduring the pain and moving my hands and feet, which were a little painful and numb from standing for a long time, I prepared to go home and take the car to the general's grave.

I didn't think that as soon as I took a step home, I faintly noticed that the direction behind me seemed to be a little wrong, so I quickly stopped and turned to look at the place that felt wrong.

A minute later, a cold shadow gradually condensed and emerged from under a locust tree thirty or forty meters away, which was the general soul I was going to see.

"You...... When did it come? "I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I found that I didn't need to see him again, so he rushed over on his own and had been hiding in secret for a long time.

The general soul didn't answer, he didn't even look at me, but looked straight in the direction where Xiao Qinghe and the white-faced scholar left, and after being speechless for a while, he muttered to himself: "It seems that it is a good thing for him to let Qingci leave to grow." ”

After saying that, as if he had found me again, he withdrew his gaze and glanced at me lightly.

"Of course it's a good thing, he's very smart, but after all, the time in the world is very short, and he has very little experience, especially today's human heart, which is much more complicated than in ancient times, if he stays by your side and is under your protection, he may need a long time to grow up, and even has always been unable to take charge of himself, let him leave your wing to go out to experience, it will be a lot of benefits for him." After smiling lightly, I said.

The general's soul glanced at me lightly again, and after a while, he spoke: "Qingci has a bad fate, he was deeply bullied when he was alive, he has never eaten a full meal, and even after his death, he has not been liberated, he is still deeply excluded and oppressed, but he has never really hated in his heart, until he meets me, there is a glimmer of light, and all tribulations must begin to end." The reason why I knew that keeping him by his side would do more harm than good, and never really gave him freedom, was because I didn't want him to experience what happened to him again. ”

"Uh...... Was his life rough and bumpy? If so, can you briefly say that? I noticed that his self-proclaimed appearance this time had become "me" again, and he didn't say a word "general" again, so I was slightly stunned and asked.

It wasn't too unexpected, the general soul didn't say it because I asked, but he didn't stay silent when he didn't want to say it as before, and ignored me, but after being silent for a few seconds, he said: "The past is over, it's pointless to mention it now, I don't want Qingci to one day, and he needs to face a bumpy past, so let him forget about it, no one will mention it again, and no longer have pity for him because of his past, it is the best choice." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned again, and after glancing at him in surprise, I nodded seriously and agreed with his statement.

"I understand, since it's for the good of Qingci, then I won't take the initiative to ask anymore, unless you or he himself wants to tell me."

There is no doubt that the general's view is completely correct, and the best way to forget is indeed that everyone does not know, so what surprised me deeply was that with his temperament, he could actually say such things in such a tone.

This is not quite like the general soul I have known in the past year.

But if you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing strange about it, their master-servant relationship is already quite deep, and now seeing that the white-faced scholar has only been away from him for more than half a year, there has been such obvious progress, and it is normal to have this feeling.

The general's soul naturally rushed over from the general's grave in order to see the white-faced scholar with his own eyes, rather than encountering it by chance. This radius of dozens of miles is his territory, and within the territory he guards, any soul body appears, naturally it can't escape his eyes, so after finding out that I summoned the white-faced scholar back, he quietly rushed over and hid nearby to watch, but I don't know if the white-faced scholar also discovered his existence before, so he was reluctant to leave when he left.

Of course, this way, I will save one thing, and I don't need to go to the general's soul again.

"You master and apprentice...... You're going to leave, right? After a moment of silence, the General's Soul shifted the conversation to mine.

"Yes." I nodded and said, "I originally planned to go to the provincial capital tomorrow after going to see you tonight, but since you heard the news and rushed over by yourself, I don't need to run anymore." ”

The general's soul looked at me lightly and did not speak.

With his insight, he could naturally see that I was now covered with injuries and the road was not easy, and he could also know what it meant for me and the old man to leave at this time, so after a moment of silence, he withdrew his gaze and said: "I have no intention of interfering in the affairs between your people, and I can't interfere, especially after leaving this side of the water and soil, so I can only say to you preciously, and I hope that you can convey this preciousness to your teacher, and it will not be in vain to some agreements between me and him." ”

I was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Thank you, I will definitely bring your heart." ”

I thought that this would be the end of the story, but I didn't expect that after a few seconds, the general's soul opened his mouth again, and looked at me with some incomprehension: "In addition, if you need it in the future, I can allow you to temporarily let Qingci be used by you, with Qingci's talent, if you give him some more time to grow, it can help you to a certain extent." But you have to promise me, you can't let him take too much risk, let alone deliberately deceive and use him, what Qingci looked like when he handed it over to you, and what it would look like in the future, if there was anything wrong, Ben would definitely ask you, and you were incompatible. ”

This is to express enough trust in me to completely hand over the white-faced scholar to me, so after a slight pause, I nodded seriously, expressing my acceptance of his trust and conditions, and at the same time made a commitment to the safety and security of the scholar.

"After the general's words are finished, if there is nothing to do, you can go back to rest, recuperate enough to go on the road tomorrow, when passing by the riverside, you only need to sound the horn to signal, no need to stop and tell." Seeing that I have already made a statement, the general's soul is speechless.

"Good...... After we leave, the family will be completely dependent on you, General, and if you can, I hope you can help take care of it. I smiled and nodded.

"It's nature. Although you can go with confidence, in the water and soil of the side that will be guarded, it is natural that the evil demons will not be allowed to run rampant, and maybe these young people will succeed for a while, but they will never let them succeed all the time. The general said expressionlessly.

With the promise of the general's soul, he was naturally much more relieved in the future, so after thanking each other politely, one person and one ghost who were extremely uninterested in each other, and even hostile to each other, parted ways. The general's soul returned to his grave, and I returned to my own home.

Because I am still not worried about my injury, and now it is gradually winter, there is no important farm work at home, and my father happens to be free recently, so during the time I went out, the family also agreed in the house - my parents, my mother and grandfather closed the door, and we went back to the provincial capital together, as if we were going out to travel, and they came back after I got better, as for the two pigs and a dozen chickens at home, I temporarily asked the Pan Laohai family on the opposite side to help take care of it, and when I came back, I would thank his family well.

Not worrying about my injury is only a factor on the surface, but more importantly, because I decided to return to the provincial capital in a hurry, and I have not had a clear understanding of my life in the provincial capital all these years. Besides, this time when I go back, not only the affairs of our master and apprentice and the evil man Xie Yifan, but also a series of things to do, such as the marriage between me and Zhang Xiaowei who are getting closer and closer, so I naturally have no objections, so I simply nodded and agreed.

I have long dreamed that one day I can settle down in the provincial capital with my own ability, and take my family together to enjoy the blessings, in this case, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity, the key is to take advantage of grandpa can still move, take them over to take a look, and get used to it.

So overnight, they discussed with Pan Laohai and his family on the other side, handed over a copy of the downstairs key to them, and also asked the man to help take care of the family, and after the family had breakfast early the next morning, after feeding the chickens and pigs, closed the door and got into the car of Dad and Sister Yun respectively, and slowly left Lijiazhai. Because the big yellow dog was happy, he didn't eat the food fed by anyone except his family, and it was pitiful to leave it alone at home, and he didn't want to do it at all, so he simply put on a leash and went to the provincial capital together.

When passing by the bank of the Xinyang River, he sounded the flute as promised last night, not only to say goodbye to the general lying in the huge grave, but also to temporarily entrust him with everything in his hometown. In the future, it is destined to be very unpeaceful for a period of time, and even a large family will face a lot of potential dangers, if it weren't for the fact that my hometown happened to be sitting on such a yin god, I really didn't feel at ease to leave.

When I came to the county seat, I didn't drive directly to the highway, but stopped at the county hospital first, bought some cooked food and a few cans of beer with Zhang Xiaowei nearby, and then took her hand and went to Lao Feng's ward together. Since I have promised that as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely take the little woman and invite Lao Wu Lao Feng to have a meal, when I thank the friendship between the two of them for almost a year, I will say that I can no longer break my promise and release pigeons, in any case, this friendship cannot be affected by the appearance of "Xiangshi Li Shanye".

But now Lao Feng can't get out of bed, and I myself can't get any better at all, and the time is also in a hurry, so I can only simplify everything first, and then make up for it after this time.

Fortunately, Lao Wu Lao Feng only cares about a heart, and he doesn't care about what he eats at all, and when he saw me come in with the little woman's hand and officially introduce his daughter-in-law to them, he showed a satisfied smile. So when Lao Feng's wife and the nurse kept rolling their eyes, until they couldn't bear to look directly and simply brushed their sleeves away, they ate, drank, laughed and talked for more than an hour, smoked two packs of cigarettes, drank more than two cans of beer each, and swept away a roast chicken and two catties of braised pork and two dishes of cold vegetables, and then said goodbye to the two brothers with Zhang Xiaowei, left the hospital and got into the car, and set off for the provincial capital again.

I've been away for almost a year, and what kind of thrilling will it be to go back this time?

Slightly nervous, I couldn't help but start to be impatient.
