When Zhong Jiu went back, Linlang was wearing a moon-white shirt, leaning against the door, staring into the distance without blinking. When she saw him return, her eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth hooked, and her eyes narrowed and bent into a line.

Zhong Jiu walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to help her, and said nervously, "You are not feeling well, how can you get out of bed?"

Linlang looked up at him, her eyes seemed to have a spring in her eyes, clear and bright. She said softly: "I can't sleep, and it's uncomfortable to lie down, so I'm just waiting here for you to come back."

"What are you waiting for me to do? It's not like I can't find my way back. Zhong Jiu helped her into the room and asked her to sit down on the rattan chair.

Linlang leaned down on the chair, raised his hand and pointed to the incense burner on the side, and said, "The incense in the incense burner is finished, you can order some more."

Zhong Jiu didn't speak, lowered his head and went to the cabinet to get the bottle of incense powder, and when he opened the bottle, he found that there was not much left in it, not even half a furnace of incense.

He poured the remaining incense powder into the incense burner, and while lighting it with a fire, he whispered, "When the incense runs out, I will mix some more for you tomorrow."

Linlang smiled and nodded, and after a long time, she asked again: "I miss my mother a little, can I go and see her?"

Zhong Jiu hummed softly, turned around and looked at Linlang deeply, her skin was pale and clean, and she looked even more fragile in the light. An indescribable pain welled up in his heart, and he spoke with difficulty: "Why don't you ask me if I went to the underworld to find you an antidote?"

Linlang was silent for a moment, looked down at her fingertips, and said softly: "From the first time I saw you when you came back, I knew the ending. Zhong Jiu, as I said, whether you can save me in the end or not, I won't blame you. ”

Zhong Jiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, knelt in front of her on one leg, held her hand, and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I promised you, I may break my promise."

"Well, it's okay, I forgive you." Linlang patted the back of his hand and said indifferently.

Linlang soon fell asleep on the rattan chair, and her sleeping appearance was calm and quiet, which made him feel even more pity. He had never regretted it like this, he thought he was saving her, but he didn't want to completely harm her because of his stupid actions.

Since Linlang left, Cai Wei has almost lost her mind. Whenever she was so worried that she couldn't do it, she would run to Qingshan Temple to ask for a true path leader. But every time they were shirked by the Taoist for various reasons, and in the end, the Taoist was forced to be unable to do so, so he promised them that they could exchange letters.

It is said that today is the day when Cai Wei receives the letter, but the little girl who delivered the letter has not appeared for a long time. She sat at the door of the inn, carefully watching the crowd coming and going outside the door, and everyone who came in the direction of the inn, she had to stand up to greet them. It's just that each one disappointed her to the core, and she saw that it was almost dusk.

Xiao Lianzi persuaded on the side: "Aunt Caiwei, maybe there is something delayed in Linlang today, and I can't write a letter, so you still don't have to wait."

Cai Wei sighed, frowned, and said, "No, Linlang has always been punctual, if she doesn't write a letter, she will also call someone in advance." I'll wait a little longer, maybe the letter is already on its way, and it will be there soon. ”

As soon as Cai Wei finished speaking, Xiao Lianzi shouted, pointed to the door and said, "Auntie, look at it."

Cai Wei knocked on the door, and her eyes turned red. She got up excitedly and ran quickly to the door.

There was a carriage parked at the door, and a handsome and majestic boy was standing next to the car, helping Linlang to get out of the car.

Linlang saw Cai Wei, who had already come out, and two lines of tears burst out of her eyes in an instant. Although she and her mother have only seen each other for a month, it seems that a year has passed.

Cai Wei took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears for Linlang intimately, and nagged: "It's all big girls, I haven't cried like this before." Why did I go out for a trip, but it became so hypocritical. ”

Cai Wei said this in her mouth, but she didn't realize that her tears were also falling like a click, and she couldn't stop it.

They walked into the inn together, and Cai Wei whispered in her ear, "Who is that son?" It looks familiar. ”

Linlang turned his head to look at Zhong Jiu who was following them, his face was a little hot, and he whispered, "He is the Zhong Gongzi who treated me."

Cai Wei smiled gently: "I didn't expect Zhong Gongzi to be so young and born well, it's really admirable."

Linlang finally returned, Cai Wei was very happy, she had no time to receive other guests now, so she had to close early.

Cai Wei went to the kitchen and prepared Su Rilin's favorite meal, and she was very busy. Xiao Lianzi hid aside and complained to Linlang: "Aunt Cai Wei has been missing her sister these days, and she is depressed every day, and she can't sleep and eat. It's been a long time since I've seen my aunt so vibrant, and it's my sister who has the most of her aunt's heart. ”

Linlang only felt sad when she heard it, and tears rolled in her eyes. It's just that she was afraid that Cai Wei would be even more sad when she saw it, so she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and wiped her eyes. Zhong Jiu was beside her, holding her hand, as if to cheer her up and comfort her. Linlang looked at him, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, indicating that he was fine.

At the dining table, Cai Wei only used to give her vegetables, and her bowl was already piled up into a hill, but she never ate a bite. Linlang caught Cai Wei's hand that was putting vegetables into her bowl, and said helplessly: "Mother, you eat too, don't just care about me."

Cai Wei's fingers paused, and she smiled and said, "Look at me, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm so excited."

After dinner, Xiao Lianzi went to the kitchen to clean up, Cai Wei held Linlang's hand, and finally could talk to her properly.

"Linlang, tell your mother, is your illness better?" Cai Wei asked softly.

Linlang raised her head and looked at Zhong Jiu, who was sitting not far away, and said softly, "It's much better, don't you see that I'm not ruddy and shiny now?" I'm so much better than when I left. ”

Cai Weizai looked at her carefully and up and down for a long time, and said uncertainly: "It's okay to look good, but I always feel that you have lost a lot of weight." Aren't you eating well there? ”

Linlang was stunned for a moment, touched her somewhat shriveled cheeks, and said carefully: "I have to drink those bitter medicines every day, so I don't have much appetite, and sometimes it's normal to not eat, so I've lost some weight." But don't worry, when my illness is all cured, I will eat it back. ”

Cai Wei finally smiled and said, "That's good, when you get better, whatever you want to eat, my mother will do whatever I want for you, and I will definitely raise you for nothing."

Linlang's eyes were hot, and she almost cried again. In the future, she probably won't have the opportunity to eat the food cooked by her mother, she didn't take it seriously before, but now it's too late.

Cai Wei didn't know what she was thinking, and it wasn't as heavy as her heart. Cai Wei suddenly asked Linlang in a low voice: "That Zhong Gongzi, do you like him?"

Linlang was startled, and she didn't know how her mother saw it. She glanced at Zhong Jiu quietly, probably in her heart, and Zhong Jiu was also looking up at her. The eyes were gentle, making her blush and her heart beat.

Linlang instantly began to panic, her face turned red, and she said to Cai Wei shyly: "How did my mother know?"

Cai Wei laughed and said, "Every time you say a word, you have to look up at him." I've raised you for so many years, can you still hide it from me with just your thoughts? ”

Linlang bit her lip and smiled coquettishly, nodding at Cai Wei, she didn't intend to hide Cai Wei.

"He likes you too? I look at him coldly, usually easy to get along with? Cai Wei asked worriedly.

Linlang said: "He is very good, and he takes good care of me." He wasn't usually as cold as he was, and he was gentle with me. ”

Cai Wei nodded and said softly, "Then I'll rest assured."

Linlang's health is not good, Zhong Jiu is afraid that she will suddenly feel unwell and scare Cai Wei. They decided to go back, although Cai Wei refused in every way, but Zhong Jiu insisted, and Cai Wei had no choice but to send them out with tears.

Before leaving, he instructed Linlang to write more letters to her, and if there was anything to tell her, he was not allowed to hide it from her. Come back whenever you miss her, and she will always wait for her to come home.

Linlang has been in tears since she sat in the carriage. Zhong Jiu felt sorry for her, but he didn't know how to persuade her.

After Linlang finished crying, she finally calmed down. She sobbed and asked, "How long do I have to live?"

Zhong Jiu's breath stagnated, his heart was so distressed that he couldn't help but say, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to remember that no matter how long it takes, I will be by your side." Whatever you want to do in the future, I will accompany you to do it. ”

Linlang pillowed on her shoulder, wrapped her arms around him, and said softly: "Then you have to talk this time, otherwise I won't forgive you."

After a long time, Zhong Jiu finally nodded.

The carriage took advantage of the darkness to leave the city and head west. Red Aya and Yejun only slowly appeared after the carriage disappeared completely, and Red Aya's fiery red robe stood out in the dark night.

Yejun looked into the distance, and after a long time, he muttered, "We don't have much time, it's time to prepare, I need to know her physical condition as soon as possible." After all, I need time to study whether the other side flower and the Lost Soul Gu can fight each other. ”

Hong Aya turned her head to look at him and asked, "Let's go grab Linlang, are you completely sure?" To know this, we must be foolproof, otherwise if they are vigilant, it will be difficult for us to snatch her again. ”

Yejun smiled lazily and said leisurely, "Are you questioning me now?" It makes me very unhappy that you say something like that. ”

Hong Aya was slightly stunned for a moment, and said carefully: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid that something will happen."

"What if? There's no whatevers in my life, and I'm not going to let them happen. The Night Monarch swore an oath.

"Well, in that case, what exactly do you need me to do for you? I gotta know in advance, right? Red Aya asked.

Yejun laughed mysteriously a few times, and said to Red Ayayu: "When that day comes, it's not too late for me to tell you, you don't have to be in such a hurry."

Hong Aya looked at his appearance as if he was holding the victory, and didn't ask any more questions. It's not appropriate to work with someone with such a conceited personality and ask more questions.
