Chapter 252: Chrysanthemum Pillow (20)
What it was like to kill her beloved with her own hands, Xing Ruyi didn't know, but she knew that it would definitely not be a good experience. Even if the person he once loved betrayed him and bullied him, he once made himself hate it at all, and he wanted to cut him with a thousand knives to relieve his hatred, but when the knife is really in your hand and you really want to decide the life and death of the other party, you will understand that the so-called hate is because of love, and the so-called resentment is because you care.
Ning Xiang opened her eyes, and just as the tip of her knife was about to pierce the donkey's heart, all her movements came to an abrupt halt, and the entire kitchen was silent. Only the flames in the stove are still "poof" and "poof" jumping and ringing.
"Bang!" The knife in Ning Xiang's hand fell to the ground, with tears on her face, she slowly knelt down towards the donkey, then stretched out her hand, hugged the donkey's neck, and asked gently, "It hurts, doesn't it?" ”
The donkey gasped and let out a low, muffled grunt.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Ning Xiang sobbed, but a small smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth: "I couldn't bear to kill you then, and I still can't bear it now." They all say that people are amorous, but it seems to me that those of us who are monsters are more affectionate and more affectionate than you people. ”
Ning Xiang said, glancing at Xing Ruyi: "Although I don't know who you are, I know that you can see it, right?" ”
Xing Ruyi nodded.
Ning Xiang smiled, she slowly let go of her hand, got up, and tapped lightly on the donkey. The donkey turned into a man, a man lying on the ground, humming and chirping.
The young man and the cook were dumbfounded, Xing Ruyi gave Ning Xiang a look, Ning Xiang waved his hand, and let the two fall asleep.
"Ruyi, what's going on?"
"Brother Chang, you have also experienced so many things, you should understand that Ning Xiang is different from you and me, she is not an ordinary human being, but has always been a demon. As for the one lying on the ground, that is, the person who is humming half-dead and chirping without a man at all, is Ning Xiang's husband Su Guangcai, who has been missing for almost three years. Because he was burdened with Ning Xiang, he was turned into a donkey and locked in the donkey shed, so he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, no matter how the government looked for it, he couldn't find it. ”
Although Chang Tai was a little shocked, just like Xing Ruyi said, he has also experienced a lot of things in the past two years, and after a little shock, he immediately regained his calm.
"Ruyi girl, is she?" Ning Xiang looked at Xing Ruyi: "You're right, I'm a demon, and I turned this man into a donkey." Actually, I originally planned to kill him, but in the end, I couldn't do it. ”
"The donkey skeleton at the foot of the mountain should belong to Liu's, right? Because it is the skeleton of a donkey, those officials will not deliberately distinguish whether it is a male donkey or a female donkey. Therefore, it was really this Su Guangcai who swept all your belongings and eloped with the Liu family, and you chased them to the foot of the mountain and turned both of them into donkeys. Liu, you naturally refused to let go, Su Guangcai, you didn't want to let go originally, but at the last moment, you still relented, right? ”
"Yes, my heart softened, and I thought about how good he was to me in the first place." Ning Xiang smiled faintly, but there was sadness in her smile: "I originally practiced in the mountains, and I never thought that one day I would go out of the mountains, but my mother told me that practicing in the mountains is only a technique, not the heart, and if you want to improve, you have to go to the red world to take a walk and take a look."
So, I went out of the mountain. But not long after coming out of the mountain, he was deceived by someone, and then sold to the Qinglou. At first, I was ignorant, and I didn't know what kind of place the Qinglou was, but gradually I knew, but I thought it was interesting, I met a lot of people, listened to a lot of things, and lived more and more like a real human being.
Time flashed, it was a year, and I was tired of being there and wanted to leave. I'm a demon, wherever I want to go, no one can stop me, Qinglou's mother can't do it, and neither can those thugs. But on the day I wanted to leave, I met him. ”
Ning Xiang said, pointing to Su Guangcai, who was still lying on the ground: "He was like a fool, he was stunned at the first sight of me, and then the first thing he said was to help me redeem myself, and he also said that he wanted to marry me home as a wife." I thought he was joking, but this fool really took out all the money on his body and handed it to his mother in the green building. It's a pity that in the end, it's still a little worse.
Mom saw that he was also sincere, so she offered to let him work in the Qinglou for half a year, and he even agreed. Pour tea and water in the Qinglou every day, and do some work done by ordinary people. When I'm free, I'm teased by the sisters in the building. But he didn't mind at all. Gradually, I also developed a good impression of him, and I really gave up the idea of leaving the Qinglou, and then waited for him to redeem me. After that, I followed him to the paper shop, using the sky as a medium and the earth as a witness, and got married.
I also know that I am a demon, he is a human, and the shemale has different paths, and it is impossible for us to have results. But emotional things, how can they really be so rational. I knew I should leave, I knew that I shouldn't be attached to, and I shouldn't covet the little bit of kindness he had for me, but I still couldn't let go. When he led Liu into the door and beat and scolded me with Liu, I really felt that I was the poor human being, and he was the legendary demon. ”
"That's right, people are sometimes scarier than demons, and many demons are actually kinder than people. I'm human, but I don't care about humans. Xing Ruyi said, glanced at Su Guangcai again, and asked Ning Xiang: "You have been doing your best to take care of his mother all the years that you have turned Su Guangcai into a donkey, right?" The reason why you didn't leave this Dragon Gate Inn is that you still can't give up this negative man in your heart, and second, you are worried that her mother will be left unattended after you leave. ”
Ning Xiang looked at Xing Ruyi and did not respond.
"Brother Chang has gone to investigate before, and his mother has been well taken care of during the years that Su Guangcai has been missing. It was a very stubborn old lady, if it weren't for someone she trusted and someone she was willing to get close to, she wouldn't be so calm to accept each other's help.
In particular, more than a year ago, the old lady had suffered from an incurable disease and needed a large amount of money to help her heal. Almost all of the money you got back from Su Guangcai was used to treat his mother's illness, but the old lady's illness was not good every day, and the place where you needed money was not less. So, I guess that the donkey in this yard is also related to the old lady's illness, right? ”
"Miss Ruyi is really smart, it has been less than an hour since she entered the door, and I have seen the girls thoroughly inside and out of the Dragon Gate Inn. That's right, I picked some of the guests who stayed at the hotel, turned them into donkeys, and sold them to the merchants who walked on the road, and the money I earned was indeed used on my mother-in-law.
Although Su Guangcai treated me badly, my mother-in-law never criticized me, and what I did was also deserved. But I hurt those people after all, and Ning Xiang doesn't deny this. Since this Chang Gongzi is a fast catcher in the yamen, it is estimated that he is also here to catch Ning Xiang, right? Don't worry, after Ning Xiang explains the things here, she will go back with a few people. ”
If Ning Xiang was just an ordinary mortal and broke the law, Chang Tai would naturally detain her and take her back to the Yamen, but now that she is a demon and not a human, even if she is detained, can she really be judged? Just like Ning Xiang just said, she is a demon, no one can stop her wherever she is going. Oh, no, maybe Ruyi can stop it, but according to Ruyi's temperament, she may not be willing to care about such "idle things". Since he can't stop it, what's the use of him arresting it?
Chang Tai thought to himself as he showed a slightly wry smile. Xing Ruyi glanced at him and knew what he was thinking about, so he lowered his head and hid the smile that was about to overflow from the corner of his mouth.
"Ning Xiang, you misunderstood, we came because of those disappearances that happened in the inn, but I didn't think about arresting you back. Besides, even if you are caught, the prison of the county government may not be able to hold Ning Xiang you, right? ”
Ning Xiang bowed her head and was silent, obviously she was also hit by Xing Ruyi. Even if she willingly followed Chang Tai back at this time, maybe she would have disappeared from the prison at night. If the prisoner can't be caught, the county magistrate doesn't dare to say anything about Brother Chang, after all, this case is their county yamen's own case, and Brother Chang is just passing by and helping out.
But if a criminal is caught and returned, this criminal has disappeared in the prison for no reason, and Brother Chang can't tell even if he has ten mouths on his body. Even if he makes it clear, will the county magistrate believe it? Will the people on the side believe it? When the time comes, the helpers will not appreciate it or say anything, and they will provoke criticism for themselves. This kind of loss-making business, Xing Ruyi will not do it, let alone ask Chang Tai to do it.
Chang Tai obviously thought about this layer clearly, only coughed softly, and said to Ning Xiang: "Ruyi herself is a doctor, Mrs. Su's illness, you might as well let her go and see, even if it can't be cured, it can help control it." If this condition is controlled, Miss Ningxiang, you will not want to hurt those innocent guests anymore. ”
"Ning Xiang has never harmed innocent guests!" Hearing Chang Tai's words, Ning Xiang couldn't help but defend himself: "Those who were turned into donkeys and sold by Ning Xiang are not good people. For example, the outermost one, he is a thief, and he steals the money of those old people, making those old people more and more helpless. Therefore, Ning Xiang plans to sell it to farmers in the countryside, so that he can do his work well, and don't keep doing those things that are unearned and harmful to others and self-interested. ”
"Quack! Quack! Xing Ruyi applauded Ning Xiang on the side, and gave a thumbs up by the way.
Ning Xiang smiled, this time it was a somewhat comfortable smile, but unfortunately, this smile did not last long, and it turned into a trace of surprise.
