"Yes, it's just unnecessary. I could tell that it was a fake name, and ordinary people who would give themselves such a strange name. When I saw him, I was amazed because, after all these years, he was exactly the same as when I first saw him, showing no signs of aging.

He saw my doubts, just smiled at me and asked if I wanted to be like him. To be honest, I think, I want to do it very much. Although I am still alive, I can clearly feel that I am still aging day by day, and I am even very afraid of this aging. I asked him, what should I do? He said that it is very simple, borrowing someone else's life is like putting one's own wine into someone else's wine jug, although you can drink it, but the taste is different, and the feeling is even different. If you want the jug and the sake to be tightly combined, you have to use the jug produced by the same brewery, in other words, to borrow the life of your own family and your descendants. ”

"There's no reason he's lying to you! Even if you borrow the life of your own son, the life of your grandson, you still can't be like him. Xing Ruyi couldn't help but expose the trumped-up lies.

The old man smiled bitterly: "Yes! You're right, he's lying to me, even if I borrow my son's life, I will only become my son, and I can't live forever with the same body and the same face. But at that time, I just wanted to live forever like him, and I didn't think about it at all. ”

"So, you want the life of your own son and daughter-in-law?"

"Nope! I didn't! At that time, although I believed the unwarranted words, although I really wanted to live forever, I asked if I had ever thought about hurting my family, at least at that time, I didn't. Although I was excited, I also knew in my heart that all I wanted to do at that time was to save my grandson's life. I asked him what he could do, and he told me. The old man suddenly became excited: "I didn't lie to you about my son and daughter-in-law, what I told you before is true. I told my son and daughter-in-law that they decided to trade their lives for my grandson's life, and I tried to stop it, and even thought about exchanging my life for it, but ...... But I can't stop anything. Han'er woke up, and my son and daughter-in-law were dead.

Just when it was time to do their funeral, Mo Yu reappeared, and he told me a secret. That secret is about Ake's background. What I said is true! It's true! It's true! It was really not until that time that I knew that Ah Ke was the baby girl I took away from Gou's family back then, and she was my own granddaughter.

Not to mention you, even myself, I felt that there was no way to accept it at all. Although I have been reborn many times, although I am no longer the original Gou Hai, my soul has not changed, and I don't know how I should face Ah Ke and myself.

I know that whether it is in appearance or anything else, I am no longer Gou Hai, except for the soul, I have no connection with Ah Ke in the slightest. But facts are facts, and no one can change them. I don't know if this is God's punishment for me. It was also from that day that I deliberately distanced myself from Ah Ke under the pretext of being unwell, and I definitely did not share the same room in the same room.

Ah Ke didn't doubt it, after all, we were both grandparents, she thought that I was really not in good health and needed to recuperate, and she took care of me more meticulously. Gradually, I was relieved, after all, all this really happened, didn't it? ”

Xing Ruyi didn't know how to answer the old man, let alone how to comfort the old lady. She stood stunned, and then watched the old lady's shadow fade and fade. Just when she was about to disappear, Xing Ruyi saw her smile at the old man, and then said sadly: "It turns out ...... It turns out that between us, it is still this relationship. God, you're a trickster! ”

"Fox!"

Seeing that the old lady was about to lose her soul, Xing Ruyi hurriedly caught the fox.

The fox clapped her hand: "That's fine, it won't be painful anymore if it's gone, even though it's not her fault that it's all this!" ”

"Ah...... Ake! The old man muttered, and it was not until the old lady's shadow had dissipated that he closed his eyes vigorously.

"Although your encounter was a mistake, I can see that you are sincere to Ake. Since she was sincere, why did she let her die instead of Han'er? Is it possible, you want to ask Han'er to borrow her life! ”

"Do you think that's what I think? I just can't stop it! The old man's eyes were red and he shouted angrily: "Because of the matter of Han'er's father, I have been carefully watching him over the years, lest he break into the old house of the Gou family like back then." After all these years, the souls in the Gou family's old mansion have become more and more uncontrollable. I'm getting old, my body is declining, and the ghosts know that I can't control them for long, so I'm making noise in the old mansion all the time, trying to escape from it. They want my life, I know, I know everything.

But people are not as good as heaven, I never thought that Cuicui's mother and daughter would appear in the village, let alone that they would live in the Gou family's old house, and Cuicui didn't know when she would get along with Han'er. Cuicui's mother has been sick since she entered the village, and after living in the old mansion of the Gou family, she will naturally be taken away by those ghosts, and she will soon die because of the ghost. Although I know the truth, I can only hide it. ”

"You know that Cuicui will also be like those who break into the Gou family's old house, and a soul will be taken away, so you will object to her being with Han'er!"

The old man nodded: "You're right, it's because I know the whole truth, so I can't let Han'er make any mistakes." His life was exchanged for the lives of his father and mother, so I had to guard him. I admit that I was very tempted by the unwarranted proposal, but as Mr. Fox said, living a long time may not be able to feel happy. Actually, I've been conflicted all these years.

Maybe it's because I'm old, so my heart is no longer as hard as when I was young, and when I take away the souls of those people and watch them die, my heart begins to feel uncomfortable, I start to feel uncomfortable, and I start to blame myself. I thought about stopping, I wanted to change my ways, I wanted to live like a normal old man. However, not everything can come to an abrupt end, and I have absorbed souls for too many years, and these souls are like toxins, entrenched in my body, making me unable to live or die. I'm a slave to it! ”

"What about Han'er, you really didn't think about borrowing his life?"

"I'll admit I thought about it, especially when I was getting older, when I was suffering from those ailments, I really thought about it." The old man said, glancing at the female ghost who had been lowered: "But I also thought about whether if I died, would I be able to completely end the nightmare entrenched in this village." I guess this Mr. Fox has already seen that this village has long been out of my control. Although she is my ghost slave, I can't control her anymore, if I hadn't met you today, Han'er and I might have become food in her belly. ”

"Backlash!" Xing Ruyi thought of a very familiar word.

"Fight back! A very apt word. The old man said, closing his eyes: "The nightmares in this village for nearly a hundred years all started with me, so tonight, let's end with me!" Ake, wait for me, I'll go with you! ”

As he spoke, the old man bit off the base of his tongue fiercely, and a stream of blood spread out of his mouth.

At this time, a touch of white gradually rose in the east, and the sky was finally about to dawn!

After the old man died, the female ghost who had been lowered disappeared with him. As for the entrenched ghosts in the Gou family's old mansion, they were also disposed of by the fox long before Xing Ruyi and them entered the village. Otherwise, the ghost fog rises and the old house of the Gou family collapses, and this village must be a nocturnal posture of a hundred ghosts.

Cuicui also left, she took off the red wedding dress that Han'er burned to her, and left without saying a word. Xing Ruyi knew that after this night of tossing, Cuicui also figured out that people and ghosts are different paths after all, and no matter how good the relationship is, it can't be forced.

"Fox, do you think what the old man said is true? If it was true, why didn't he let Han'er get married? ”

"I don't know what he thought at the last moment, but I know that he lied." The fox hugged Xing Ruyi, lowered his head, and gently pressed his lips against the corner of her forehead.

"What about that?"

"The death of the old lady Ake!"

"The old lady's death? Could it be that there is some secret hidden here? ”

As a selfish man, the old man may not really like his son and grandson, especially after he learns the secret from a false mouth. Do you know? The best person who is borrowed is the body of a pure yang child, and Han'er is. We have reason to believe that Han'er's birth was also within the old man's plan. That's why he would rather sacrifice his son and daughter-in-law than keep Han'er's life, because Han'er's life is his life and all his hope for the future.

It's just that the old man forgot a sentence, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. This sentence is not only about the change of personnel and the change of the region, but also about the change of the feng shui pattern. Because of the old man's life, there are many more unjust souls in this village for no reason, and these unjust souls are concentrated and entrenched, so they quietly changed the pattern of this village. The innate conditions for the old man to borrow his life no longer exist, so he needs to wait, which is also the real reason why Han'er has not been able to get married for a long time.

The appearance of Cuicui's mother and daughter is an opportunity for the old man, because the life of Cuicui's mother and daughter is what he needs. I believe that Cuicui's mother and daughter definitely did not walk into the Gou family's old house by themselves. It's just that no matter how good a person is, he can't match the heavens, God arranged the encounter between Cuicui and Han'er, so the old man was in a hurry. What he didn't expect was that Han'er hid it from him and privately agreed with Cuicui for life, that is, to conclude a yin relationship. Therefore, the old man decided to make a desperate bet and gamble.

The soul of the old lady Ake was deliberately sealed in the tomb, and the coffin was also deliberately selected by him, and he was deliberately cultivating the Yin corpse. If it weren't for the appearance of a few of us today, maybe the old man's plan would have been half successful. ”

"You mean, if we hadn't happened to come to this village today, the old man would most likely have borrowed Han'er's life last night?"

"Remember what I told you last night? I said, old man, he wants to hurt you! The fox pointed at the tip of Xing Ruyi's nose with his hand: "Although the old man's ability to borrow his life at the beginning was unnecessary, but over the years, he must have learned a lot of evil arts in secret, so as soon as you and Li Mao appeared, he immediately saw the difference between you." Your life is even more difficult to find than others, so what the old man really wanted to borrow last night was your life! ”

"My life? I'm a woman, could it be that the old man wants to be my fox lady? ”

"Silly girl, forget what I just said, the old man was reborn in three lives, and you think he is really wasted in these three lives. I guess he has thought of a better way to borrow his life, which is to only borrow your life, not your body. But these words can only become a speculation now, because he didn't calculate that I would appear! ”

Xing Ruyi's eyes rolled, wrapped his hand around the fox's neck, squinted his eyes and asked: "Hearing this, how do I think, whether I am good or the old man, it seems that you have calculated it." According to the scheduled itinerary, we didn't have to go through this village. So, old fox, tell me obediently, did you bring us here on purpose? ”

The fox bowed his head, kissed the back of Xing Ruyi's hand, and said to her, "Follow me!" ”
