Chapter 126: What deal did you make with him?
Xiao Jin's domineering eyes stung my eyes, and I shook my hand and gave her two more slaps, this time it was not that she didn't hide, but she didn't expect that I would hit her.
"Then let me tell you, what you owe to your young lady is not something that can be repaid with a slap." I yelled with red eyes.
In memory, Qing Xuan's death was so miserable, comparable to Ling Chi, no matter what role Xiao Jin played back then, he more or less betrayed his master, and he wanted to repay this sin with a slap, is it possible?
My two slaps were ruthless, and the corners of Xiaojin's mouth were bloodshot, how could she swallow this breath, and she wanted to hit me when she shook her hand.
I didn't retreat, my eyes were on the rope in her hand, and I wanted to take advantage of her distraction to snatch the rope from her hand and put down Wang Tiezhu.
What's the point of being slapped in order to save people?
But before Xiaojin's hand could fall, a gust of wind swept her up fiercely, and her body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and slammed into the wall across the corridor.
Doodoo retracted his wings and landed slowly on my shoulders.
I was moved in my heart at the time, although this little guy is arrogant, but also short-sighted, she scolded me, others want to beat me, it depends on whether she is willing or not.
I took advantage of the fact that Xiaojin hadn't gotten up yet, and quickly put Wang Tiezhu down, Wang Tiezhu hadn't eased up, his legs were soft, so I could only drag him into the private room, and then close the door.
Xiao Jin struggled to get up from the ground and looked at me with a sneer: "Do you think everything will be fine if you save a Wang Tiezhu?" Bai Xiaocha, after so many lives, why are you still so naΓ―ve? β
She raised her hands and slapped them twice, and immediately a group of black-clothed people appeared in the corridor with more than a dozen people, each of whom I was familiar with, all of them were villagers from Jiaolongpo.
Although some villagers in Jiaolongpo were not friendly to me, they watched me grow up since I was a child, and the lives of each one could not be destroyed because of me.
"Bai Xiaocha, I don't want these villagers to be buried with you and hand over the things." Xiao Jin stretched out her hand to me, the corners of her mouth were already swollen and bruised, but her eyes were still so arrogant.
What she wants is nothing more than that tail vertebrae, and Dudu's maintenance just now made me understand that she didn't betray me, and Xiaojin shot at me, mostly because she failed to complete the task in the Reincarnation Pavilion this morning, and in order to atone for her sins, she threatened me with Jiaolongpo's people.
I sneered and said calmly: "I can give you what you want, but you ...... I don't have the right to take it from me, so I let everyone go, and go back and tell the ferryman that he wants the tail vertebrae, and let him come and talk to me face to face, otherwise, you will never know where the tail vertebra is. β
Xiao Jin's teeth are about to be broken, she is not convinced, but there is no other way, she can threaten me, but she can't completely anger me, if I do anything extreme, the consequences are not something she can bear.
"I'll only give you one day, tomorrow afternoon at this time, I'll wait for the ferryman at the entrance of the mountain behind the medical school, if he doesn't come, I'll make him regret it for the rest of his life."
After saying that, I didn't care what Xiao Jin thought, and I didn't care whether she let go of those villagers or not, I just turned around and dragged Wang Tiezhu out of the private room, got out of the little sheep, and brought him back to Fugui Garden.
Pushed him into the bathroom, and found Liu Chuannan's clothes for him to change, and waited until he cleaned himself up, he relieved himself, there was no purchase, there was nothing to eat at home, I only made him a cup of tea, he held it in his hand, and his face was red.
"I ...... Shame on you. Wang Tiezhu said embarrassedly.
I waved my hand to let him relax: "No matter who is abused like that, at the moment of life and death, they will not behave better than you, Brother Wang, it is I who has caused you to be burdened." β
"Don't say this, you can't be blamed for this, our Jiaolongpo is next to the Daojia Village, and sooner or later it will be calculated by them, and it has nothing to do with you." Wang Tiezhu said.
"You live here for the time being, Jiaolongpo can't go back, it's going to be a mess over there recently." I pointed to the guest room, "I'll go down and buy some daily necessities later, you can live in peace, and then go back to the village when the matter is over." β
"No, I have to go back, I can't leave my parents and the villagers behind." Wang Tiezhu hurriedly refused.
"They'll be safer if you don't go back." I said, "In the whole Jiaolongpo, I have the best relationship with you, other people have more or less had holidays with me, the other party is not stupid, understand who can threaten me the most, there is an enchantment around this house, and there are people guarding the periphery of the whole community, as long as there is a wind and grass, at least someone can help us." β
"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Chinese New Year's Eve is over, and everything will have an explanation."
"The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve will be dangerous, right?" Wang Tiezhu said nervously.
"We are trying to move this time forward, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even tonight, not necessarily, calm down, in order to live a stable life with relatives and friends every year in the future, we have to stay through this time."
Wang Tiezhu nodded, he listened to my words, and couldn't help sighing: "The patriarch was suspicious before, I always said that he was too worried, but now it seems that he is right, Daojiazhai is a time bomb, and it is finally going to explode." β
"No one would have thought of this, the grievances and grievances in this can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, we ...... They are all poor victims, and everything they are doing now is just to put an end to it and stop spreading it to future generations. β
"More than a thousand years ago?" Wang Tiezhu tightened his brows, "You mean, the legend recorded in the county chronicles discovered by the patriarch is true?" β
"Sixty or seventy percent reduction." I replied.
Wang Tiezhu gasped and asked, "What's that...... Your boyfriend ......"
"Hmm." I knew what he wanted to ask, and as soon as I mentioned Yanagawa Nan, my heart followed the pain of hunting, and I didn't want to talk about it more, "Everything will pass, and there will be sacrifices, but as long as the ending is good, it is worth sacrificing a little." β
Wang Tiezhu was noncommittal, just looked at me with pity in his eyes, since I was a child, he has been very good to me, this is a big brother worthy of respect.
We were both silent, but Wang Tiezhu opened his mouth first: "That, I know I shouldn't mention it, but I still want to ask, your brother ...... Are you okay? β
"Gone." I didn't shy away from it, "This time I left completely, and I will never come back, but I also have another brother." β
Actually, isn't that a relief? Little tea, isn't it? β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Wang Tiezhu's neck was strangled with bruises, and his body was also consumed, I forced him to lie on the bed for a while, went downstairs to the supermarket to buy, bought a lot of food, I plan to reserve enough to meet all the needs before the Chinese New Year's Eve at one time.
When I was carrying a large bag back to Fugui Garden, I just arrived at the door and saw a car parked on the side of the road.
I am very familiar with the car, I walked a few steps forward, and the people in the car also walked down, who are they if they are not Mo Bai?
Mo Bai also greeted me and hugged me: "Why are you always so stubborn, do you want us to worry about death by staying here alone?" Bei Bei couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly over, and finally coaxed her to stay in the Wu family, which was really heartbreaking. β
Hearing that Ji Beibei didn't come with me, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her belly is now heavier day by day, and the situation in southern Yunnan is so unstable, I am really afraid that something will happen to her and the child in her belly.
I myself lost a child, at that time I didn't know that they ever existed, I didn't feel the fetal movement, and it was still so painful, and Ji Beibei's child had already formed and was already alive, if she accidentally disappeared, then her whole person would probably be finished.
"She's never been a reassuring person." Wu Yongkang walked over and teased.
I quickly walked over and looked him up and down, his external injuries were almost healed, and I asked, "How are your internal injuries?" β
"It's no big deal." He replied.
Last time, he was so badly injured that it was impossible to fully recover in a short period of time, and he was a little worried: "Don't be reckless, take care of it, we have enough manpower." β
"That's a piece of." Wu Yongkang said, "No amount of manpower is enough. β
Mo Bai reached out and took the things in my hand and said, "Don't stand still, find a place to sit down and talk." β
I took them upstairs, and Wang Tiezhu slept deeply, and I sorted my things into categories, and then began to prepare dinner.
Mo Bai and Wu Yongkang chatted with me without a match.
"Are you buying so many things to prepare for hibernation?" Wu Yongkang asked me.
"Pretty much." I pointed to the guest room, "He can't leave here for the time being, Jiaolongpo has been controlled by Daojiazhai, and they threaten me with him today." β
"Daojiazhai is too hateful, but this is also reasonable." Mo Bai Dao.
Wu Yongkang also nodded: "At this time, it seems that it is abnormal for them not to do something." β
I pulled the corners of my mouth helplessly, as if this was indeed the case.
Mo Bai was more sensitive, and immediately asked, "They used Wang Tiezhu to force you, are you ...... Can you safely bring Wang Tiezhu out, did you make any deal with them? β
"yes, how did I ignore this, I didn't make a deal, how could they let go? Xiaocha, what did you promise to others again? Wu Yongkang realized it and questioned me instead.
I shook my head: "No, this time I have the upper hand." β
"Liar, huh?" Wu Yongkang didn't believe it at all, I was choosing a dish, he opened my hand and forced me to look at him, "Say, what did you do?" β
"Xiaocha, what did you promise the other party? I also don't believe that if you don't promise anything, they can easily let you go. Mo Bai also asked.
I shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be indifferent, "I'll ask the ferryman to meet tomorrow afternoon." β
"What?"
The two of them spoke in unison, and then they bombarded me.
"I'll just say that if this girl doesn't make something, she won't be at ease."
"Why did you suddenly become so bold?"
"Her mind is full of water, does she think the ferryman is the kind of person who can sit down and drink tea and chat with her and reason?"
"No, we need to get out of here."
Mo Bai and Wu Yongkang, you say a word, first accuse, then worry, and in the end, Wu Yongkang grabbed me and wanted to take me out, the movement was too big, and Wang Tiezhu in the guest room woke up.
"What are you doing?" Wang Tiezhu said with a confused expression.
Wu Yongkang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and pulled Wang Tiezhu up: "Quick, you two will go to Xiangxi with me overnight." β
I shook off Wu Yongkang vigorously and pushed Wang Tiezhu to him: "You take him away, I have to stay." β
"Bai Xiaocha, please don't make trouble, let's keep this little life and live a good life, okay?" Wu Yongkang said bitterly.
Mo Bai also frowned, and kept the same tone as Wu Yongkang: "Xiaocha, Xiangxi has been deploying non-stop in the past few days, and I will be ready to go out in the next two days, I understand your feelings, but let's press it again, okay?" β
Wang Tiezhu even echoed: "Xiaocha, you are weak, I don't recommend that you fight the people of Daojiazhai alone, go head-to-head, if you are not careful, you will die, we don't want you to have an accident." β
"Don't talk about it, I have already decided on this matter, unless the other party does not dare to come, otherwise, I will not give up, I dare to take the initiative to invite him, and I will have the courage to face the final result."
"Originally, I didn't expect you to come so soon, but since I came, I just happened to discuss with you, if the ferryman agrees tomorrow, I will go alone, and you all stay here to wait for news, and no one is allowed to come in."
"It's impossible to ......" Wu Yongkang was excited again.
I made a silencing motion: "Don't talk yet, listen to me." β
I slowed down for a moment and continued: "The ferryman wants to take something from me, and such a thing actually doesn't exist anymore, tomorrow I will have a showdown with the ferryman, the result may be two extremes, one, he may accept this reality, obediently clamp his tail and be a man, of course, the possibility of this is almost zero, two, he may be excited, will go crazy, will go on a killing spree, if this is the case, I hope you can contact the Wu family as soon as possible, encircle and suppress it, and minimize the damage as much as possible." β
"Little Tea ......" Mo Bai still wanted to persuade me, but I stopped him.
"Don't do that." I forced a smile, "You always persuade me that sacrifice is necessary in the face of such a big thing, and now at this time, someone should stand up and sacrifice in exchange for the ultimate peace, is it because that person is me, you are not willing?" β
"But, it has to be me, Yanagawa Nan has already taken the first step, and the next step must be completed by me, and none of you can replace it, can you?"
"I want to open a little bit, think in the best direction, maybe I'll survive in the end? It's not absolutely impossible, isn't it? β
I laughed as I spoke, I could see it myself, but their expressions were getting uglier and uglier than the other.
They are all really good for me, and they have all worked hard for me, in this life, I owe a lot of favors, and I am afraid that only in the next life can I pay it back as a cow and a horse.
"Bei Bei knows that she is going to jump her feet in a hurry again."
"My mom knows, she's going to have to go crazy too."
A few people sighed, I don't know what to say to make them not so depressed, I can only bow my head and continue to choose vegetables to cook, a meal is very unatmospheric, after eating, Wang Tiezhu took the initiative to wash the dishes, Mo Bai and Wu Yongkang sat on the sofa and muttered not knowing what they were discussing.
I arranged where they slept and went back to my room.
The mind was empty, and what was waiting now was only a response from the ferryman's side.
Tomorrow he comes, I will have a showdown with him, if he doesn't come, I will go to Daojiazhai to find it, what else will happen, it is not within my control, etc., I don't want to trouble myself, I can't stop thinking about it.
I needed to rest, and it didn't take long to lie down, and I really fell asleep.
What I didn't expect was that I started dreaming again.
This time the dream is not like before, coherently, reproducing the scenes of 1,200 years, like a movie, this time it is intermittent, a shot keeps flashing in my mind, like a dream, but it doesn't feel like a dream.
It was like a fragment of memory, as if I didn't even remember it very well.
In the fragments of memory, a large camellia forest always flashed.
Camellia all over the mountains, colorful, in the large tea forest, digging a black hole, bottomless pit, a girl wearing a red wedding dress, holding something in her hand, slowly sent into the pit......
This scene kept flashing in my dreams, and I couldn't see the girl's face clearly, let alone what she was holding in her hand, as if it was always separated by a veil.
This dream is not long, nor thrilling, but it is full of a strong mystery, and when I finally struggle out of the dream, I open my eyes and my eyes are full of darkness.
It was pitch black all around, and the night was already dark, and although I could see everything in the night, I still habitually turned on the lights.
I felt cold, and that coldness emanated from the bottom of my heart, as if only the light was turned on to drive away the coldness.
The lights came on, and I rolled over and thought about everything in my dream.
A large camellia forest, a girl in a wedding dress, a pit dug in the forest......
The more I think about it, the higher the degree of overlap between this scene and the camellia forest in Jiaolongpo.
If this scene is a fragment of my memory for more than 1,200 years, then when should this memory take place?
It should be that after Liu Chuannan was skinned, cramped and shaved his bones, the national teacher interceded and buried Liu Chuannan's bones in the section of Jiaolongpo.
The girl in the wedding dress should be Qingxuan.
Liu Chuannan's bones were buried, and Qing Xuan came to send them, which is a normal thing, judging from her actions, she should have put something of her own into Liu Chuannan's bones, accompanying Liu Chuannan to bury it in the ground.
That thing, Qing Xuan can bury her dead beloved, it must be the most precious thing she thinks......
What is the most precious thing for Qingxuan?
I'm sure it's not the tail vertebrae, because when this happened, Qingxuan hadn't been hunted down, so what could it be?
It's so hard to guess, and besides, I don't know what the point of guessing is?
There are no references at all, and even if I guess something, no one can tell me whether it is right or wrong.
I closed my eyes, I didn't want to think about it anymore, maybe I was thinking about it day and night, it was just a meaningless dream.
After glancing at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and soon it would be dawn, and after dawn, the ferryman should reply to me, right?
Turned over, ready to sleep for a while, only when you have enough energy, can you concentrate on dealing with the enemy.
I was still asleep with my eyes closed, when suddenly a spirit suddenly sat up suddenly.
I shook my head vigorously, but the thoughts that popped up in my head for no reason made my brain hurt.
I couldn't restrain myself from thinking about the dream just now, thinking about it, I suddenly thought, Qingxuan, her surname is Bai.
Her name is Bai Qingxuan, and she is in my previous life that I don't know how many times I have been reincarnated, and she is in the same vein as me.
I still remember the day when Hei Laosan wanted to use me to revive the Five Poisons Sect, the fake Qingxuan appeared in the ancestral hall and introduced himself as the 'third generation of the Bai Family Snake Gu'.
The combination of the Five Poison Sects was relatively late, but the Snake Gu Sect has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has a long history.
Bai Qingxuan is the third generation of the snake Gu descendant, so there must be a snake Gu in her body, which is her natal Gu.
But I didn't.
I have been passed down from generation to generation by her, why don't I have a natal Gu snake Gu?
I've thought about this question more than once before, but it didn't work out.
The Five Poisonous Gu can only be passed on, not transferred, that is to say, the Bai Family Snake Gu has been passed down from generation to generation, and it must be passed on to the heir of the Snake Gu, and it is impossible to give it to others.
So since when did the snake Gu disappear?
I've seen my grandmother use snake Gu to heal and save people, but I'm not sure if it's her natal Gu.
What if not?
Make a bold guess, the snake Gu was broken from Qingxuan, why was it broken?
Because of Yanagawa Minami?
So in the dream, what Qing Xuan sent into the dirt pit would be her natal Gu snake Gu?
No, no, if it's a snake Gu, what's the use of the body she left for Yanagawa Minami? Without Natal Gu, how can she live?
The more I thought about it, the more outrageous I felt, and I couldn't figure it out.
There are too many things that can't be figured out, such as why did the tail vertebrae evaporate after Qing Xuan swallowed the tail vertebrae? Why is it that as a descendant of the Bai Family Snake Gu, he doesn't have a natal Gu?
There are too many, but fortunately, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, it's just to add to your troubles.
Tossing and turning, for a few hours, I barely slept much, I got up early in the morning and ran to the entrance of the mountain behind Yunnan Medical College to have a look, although I understood that the chance of seeing the ferryman was very small, but I still did not give up.
As soon as I turned around and walked to the side of the pedestrian street, I was stopped from a distance, and I looked over there and saw Xiaojin.
She stood there, waiting for me to walk over, and I could still see the wound on her face.
"Waiting for me early in the morning?" I asked with a smile, smiling a little shamelessly.
Xiao Jin rolled his eyes at me, and said in a cold tone: "The ferryman said, if you want to see him, you will go to Daojiazhai, and he will wait for you over there." β
"If it's not on his own turf, is it scared?" I scoffed.
Xiao Jin immediately became angry: "I advise you not to be so mean when you speak, be careful......"
"Be careful of what? Be careful that I mean your word to be fulfilled? I retorted.
The ghost blows the lamp
