Chapter 381: Hibiscus Noodles (15)
When she came out of Luo's room, Xing Ruyi saw the old beggar standing under the eaves of the porch, looking at her motionlessly.
"Lord Pixiu, doesn't you have something to say to Ruyi?"
"You come with me!" The old beggar pointed to his room.
Xing Ruyi hesitated slightly and followed.
The old beggar stood still in the room, turned around, and glanced at Xing Ruyi with the eye that had not yet been covered: "If it weren't for the deer's face, the old beggar wouldn't have bothered to explain these things to you." The old beggar came out and saw that Lu'er liked you very much and cared about you very much. It's hard for the old beggar not to care about the things that Lu'er cares about, and even if he doesn't care, he doesn't want to let Lu'er and the old beggar be angry because of your affairs. ”
Ruyi can also see that Lord Pixiu cares about the aunt very much. If there is only some misunderstanding in the past, Lord Pixiu may as well open up and talk to her aunt. The eldest lady is not the kind of person who is careful, she will forgive Pixiu. ”
"Lu'er is naturally not the kind of person who is cautious, she resents me, I deserve it." Pixiu glared at Xing Ruyi: "I called you, not to talk about Lu'er." ”
"Are you talking about Rashiki?" The punishment was light.
Just now, Xing Ruyi found that this Pixiu's temper didn't seem to be as weird as gluttony. He just looked a little scary, but when he got along, he didn't have the kind of lofty and weird problems of the divine beasts.
"The old beggar loves money, and his greatest interest in life is to do all kinds of business with people. People, as long as they pay a certain price, can exchange what they want from the old beggar, and the old beggar finds this very interesting. The only bad thing is that the old beggar has a bad memory, and usually forgets the last order after making a deal. Forget and forget, the old beggar never felt that this would bother the old beggar until he met them.
It was a middle-aged couple with a pair of children huddled in the crowd of refugees. The male is ordinary-looking and seriously ill, while the female is handsome, and even somewhat similar to Lu'er. You also know that Lu'er is the knot in the heart of an old beggar, and when you see someone similar to her, you naturally can't help but look twice.
At this glance, you can see that there is a deal. They begged the old beggar to take one of their sons and daughters out so that they could find a way to live. In exchange, the man is willing to give what little life he has left, and the woman is willing to give the beautiful face to the old beggar. The bargain was a bargain, and the old beggar gladly accepted it. ”
"Lord Pixiu, but you brought those two children to Yunjiaji?"
"Nope! I took them to Yunzhai and handed them over to a fairly well-to-do family. The man of the family was destined to have no children, and what he gave birth to must be daughters. These two children, although their fate is bumpy, but the boy has an official seal in his palm, and if he grows up safely, he will definitely be an official. And these two children have a gentle temperament, if they are raised by others, they will be grateful, and they will not treat their adoptive father and adoptive mother badly in the future. The old beggar thought at the time that this was the best option.
But the old beggar did not calculate the selfishness and sinister nature of human nature. The family was overjoyed to know the boy's fate, but they were quite disgusted with the girl. A few months later, under the pretext of the death of his grandmother, the man brought his two children to the Yun family to mourn, but took the opportunity to sell the girl to a flower building. ”
"That girl is April, isn't it? But April has been trafficked into the flower building, how did he meet Luo Fu and lend his eyes to Luo Fu? ”
The old beggar said that the old beggar's memory has never been very good, and he rarely asks about a transaction. Just after the old beggar gave the two children to the family, the old beggar took on a new deal. ”
"It's about Rashiki?"
"That's right! Rashiki's father begged the old beggar to help his daughter restore her light, even if it was only for a few years. The old beggar thought it was not difficult, so he agreed. and promised him that as long as it was his favorite eye, the old beggar could help borrow it. The term is ten years, and before the term expires ten years, no heirs will be born in the Luo family. ”
"Luo Fu's brother and sister-in-law have been married for many years, but nothing has come out, could it be related to this incident?"
"This is the old beggar's deal with the Luo family. The old beggar just thought it was funny at the time, if a family like the Luo family had no heirs for several years, he didn't know what kind of turmoil would arise. Unfortunately, the old beggar forgot at the time that Luo Shi was still a child at that time, and his brother could be a few years older than her. It is said that it is ten years, but it is only these three or five years that will really test them.
What makes me even more disappointed is that the relationship between Luo Fu's brother and his sister-in-law seems to be very good, and there are no waves because he has nothing to do, which can also be seen that the Luo family's family style is still good. ”
"What about April?"
After making a deal with the Luo family, the old beggar handed over the spell-cast rune paper to the Luo family, and they found the right eyes on their own. When the housekeeper of the Luo family was searching, he happened to meet April who was crying in the flower building, and was hit by April's eyes, so he spent a lot of money to buy her. And then you know. The Luo family used the excuse of helping April find her brother, and easily got her promise and changed her eyes to Luo Shiki.
Subsequently, April, who lost his eyes, was bullied and turned into a lonely soul, and the Luo family also felt guilty because of this incident, and began to make good connections and make amends. Although the old beggar found April, he looked at her sensible appearance, and he was quite sad in his heart, and always felt that April's misfortune had a lot to do with the old beggar. ”
"Since I feel sad in my heart, has that Pixiu ever thought of asking for Luo Fu's eyes back in advance?"
"Buying and selling is buying and selling, and before the time comes, how can you take it by force?"
"Is that Luo Fu's memory also erased with the help of Lord Pixiu?"
"Old beggars don't have this kind of habit, but you humans always like to do things that deceive yourself and others, and hide your ears and steal bells. Thinking that as long as I don't remember, those things can be treated as if they never happened. The old beggar glanced at Xing Ruyi: "Do you think that the matter is really as Luo Fu said, and she is completely unaware?" If she didn't know why, she saw April in her dream, and offered to give her back April's eyes. As the pearl of the Luo family, after the Luo family bought April back, they took it to Luo Fu to see, and the first person Luo Fu saw when he opened his eyes was April.
The ten-year covenant, Luo Fu also knows. She naively thought that as long as April didn't exist, her eyes wouldn't have to be changed back. Little Ruyi, the human heart is far more complex and terrifying than you think. ”
The old beggar's tone instantly became deeper, and he walked up to Xing Ruyi with his hands behind his back: "Those scoundrels, no matter how unreasonable they are, will not embarrass a blind girl wearing filial piety clothes and being lonely and helpless. The reason why the old beggar changed his face to what it is today is to remind himself that the old beggar owes April. ”
Pixiu's words are very clear, the reason why April was killed and killed, it is very likely that the mastermind behind the murder was Luo Fu, who was also young at the time. The Luo family knew that Luo Fu had done these things behind his back, but he still chose to protect his daughter, but he couldn't resist the condemnation of his conscience, so he frequently did good deeds to make up for it.
If it weren't for the April incident, the Luo family might not be keen on doing good deeds; If it weren't for the kindness in his heart, he might not have saved April's brother by mistake on a rainy night; If it weren't for saving April's brother, he wouldn't have taken him in to study in the house; If he hadn't been taken in to study in the house, there would have been no relationship between Brother April and Luo Fu. This pile and one thing after another are connected, but there are really some responses to that sentence, blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings rely on. The whole thing has been involved so far, not to mention the old beggar who was involved, or the outsider Xing Ruyi, who didn't know what to say.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve, except for Yin Yuan, everyone failed to sleep peacefully. Luo Shi couldn't fall asleep over and over, in addition to those pictures related to April flashing in his mind from time to time, a sentence would inexplicably sound: "Remember, before the hour, don't look in the mirror!" ”
Why Chenshi? Why can't I look in the mirror? If you look in the mirror, what will you see?
Luo Shi had never thought about these questions before, even if she had heard this sentence countless times, she ignored it as a noisy whisper. Tonight, when she knew that these eyes did not belong to her, she began to wonder what she would see in the mirror with these eyes borrowed from others.
Coincidentally, I heard the sound of the husband beating the watchman, and after a while, it was about to be the hour. She got up, walked over to the bronze mirror, and sat down.
The bronze mirror reflected a face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, and Luo Shi didn't know if the forbidden words were equally valid when she looked at the bronze mirror with Rui'er's face. She just sat quietly, and even her breathing became very light and light.
The bronze mirror became more and more blurry under the candlelight, so blurred that even her eyebrows and eyes were almost unclear. Luo Shi stretched out her hand, wanting to wipe away the mist floating on the bronze mirror, but found that the bronze mirror had undergone a strange change, she seemed to see a younger father and mother through the bronze mirror, and her brother who had not yet grown up, and her voice was also coming out of the bronze mirror.
"Are her eyes really beautiful? If Shi'er had changed those eyes, would she be able to see her father and mother and brother? ”
"It turns out that my father and mother really didn't cheat on Shi'er, these eyes are really good-looking. Luckily, it's on Shi'er's face now, and it would be a shame if it still grows on that April's face. ”
"What did Daddy say? Decade! Shi'er can only have these eyes for ten years? No! No! Don't become blind again, and don't give her back these eyes. ”
"Mama, please, help me with a dress. You watched Shi'er grow up, and you don't want Shi'er to become blind again, right? ”
"Mama, is it true that as long as that April is gone, Shi'er's eyes don't have to be returned? If that's the case, let April disappear! ”
Those cold and vicious words did not seem to come from the mouth of a child at all. Luo Shi grabbed the placket of his clothes with his hands and shook his head slowly.
"Nope! No way! It's not me...... That's not what I said! ”
"That's you! You think that you are ugly if you change your face, but you don't know that you used to be even uglier than your current face! Luo Fu in the bronze mirror let out a sneer, and then a face suddenly appeared, occupying the entire bronze mirror.
That face is so cold, so numb and so vicious, but the facial features are so familiar to Luo Shi that they can't be more familiar...... Her face used to ...... She used to think it was a pretty good face!
"Bang!" With a bang, Luo Fu knocked the bronze mirror to the ground.
Those memories that she had deliberately forgotten also came back!
It turns out that the scariest thing in life is not to see a ghost, but to see yourself who is even more terrible than a ghost!
