--------------------

Ah San really ran away.

Under the surveillance of the seven catchers, and under the condition that a large amount of treasure was suppressed, he disappeared without a trace like a fox, leaving not even a trace of stench.

For a person like Ah San, at least eleven out of ten sentences are false.

When he laughs with you, he will definitely want you to cry behind his back.

When he gives you money, he will definitely make you so poor that you only have half a pair of pants left.

I followed him for five years, just to learn how to rob tombs, so I have been observing him, and I still know more about him than Nobita and them.

He betrayed us and actively cooperated with the government in order to make it easier for him to get out.

———— cunning rabbit three holes, if people don't lie, it's all wrong!

After listening to me, Ai Xiaogui grabbed his throat as if he couldn't laugh anymore.

In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Bodhisattva blessed them all laughed, laughing sadder than turning into a pig.

I added, "I am sure that his escape, apart from his cunning, was above all his treasure." ”

Ai Xiao frowned and didn't speak, but his fists were clenched tightly, as if they would strike at any moment.

He apparently understood that money, at all times, was more confusing than beauty.

Later, it was confirmed that five of the seven arresters secretly received bribes from Ah San.

It wasn't until I was about to be taken into prison that Ai Xiao gradually regained his shallow smile and said, "You are indeed a smart person, with your cleverness, you can make a fortune except for tomb robbing!" ”

I smiled wryly, sighed, smiled again, and sighed again.

Ai Xiao was stunned, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and said for a long time: "You...... What does this mean? ”

I was silent for a long time before I asked him: "I don't rob the tomb for money, do you believe it?" ”

Ai Xiao gave me a strange look of unknown reason, and spit out a word without hesitation: "Letter!" ”

His tone was firm, and it was definitely from the heart.

I was stunned and turned away.

The sound of the iron fence, as if I was about to be sentenced to death, completely shattered my already scarred heart.

At that moment, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

Ai Xiao didn't see it, but whispered, "I'll come to see you tomorrow!" ”

I have nothing to say.

At this moment, a trace of despair has already risen in my heart.

Walking to the prison gate, Ai Xiao suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, when you laugh, you look so good!" ”

I only felt my heart tremble, and I often said these words in the Mahavira Hall and the Bodhisattva Blessing, but when it came out of his mouth at the moment, it seemed to feel a little different.

I can't explain the difference.

At this time, my heart will inevitably be flustered and uneasy, for fear that they will find out the identity of my daughter's family.

But now, I only feel that the world is spinning, and my mind is full of despair, even if I am identified by this headhunter?

I smiled bitterly, and I couldn't laugh again.

The next day, Ai Xiao really came.

It's still a smile, full of youth.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it came in through the narrow window of the cell, with a kind of floating noise.

I turned around and leaned my back against the iron fence.

After a night of grief, the sadness on his face has not subsided, and the reserve in the heart of his daughter's family will inevitably be revealed sometimes.

The atmosphere seemed to be slightly awkward, Ai Xiao covered it with a soft voice, and asked me softly, "You ...... Was last night okay?! ”

I tilted my head up and lazily looked out the window at the sky.

A cloud floats before my eyes, is that the freedom that every prisoner in prison yearns for?

When I think of the word "prisoner", my heart is filled with sorrow again.

He coughed again, and asked me as if he didn't care, "Where is your home?" ”

Every time I heard the word "home", my heart tightened, and then a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout my body.

Home is a word, but it is often the most fragile nerve in a person's heart.

But when this fragility is touched, its resilience will bounce back.

I don't know why, I suddenly turned around, stared at him with a cold face, and said sharply: "My home was ruined by you!" ”

Ai Xiao was stunned, a little stunned.

He clearly saw a great hatred in my eyes, and he was stunned for a long time before the corners of his mouth squirmed, but he didn't speak.

I knew that I was a little emotionally out of shape, and a slight apology gradually arose in my heart.

Originally, it was also, a thief who caught a thief, a tomb robber, and a small wooden bridge in each department, how to say, the moment they met at the bridge, it was destined to be the result today, what reason do I have to hate him?

Anyway, this laughing headcatcher has always been nice to me.

I thought to myself.

If I knew it, I would have drowning in my measure.

Although I am a daughter, I am also a reincarnation of resentment, everything is my own choice, no one is to blame!

Ai Xiao couldn't understand my tangled heart, his face alternated several times in embarrassment and confusion, and finally he smiled and said gently: "I think, I can understand your feelings......"

I met his enthusiastic but seemingly ambiguous gaze, shook my head weakly, and said, "You can't understand me, and no one in the world can understand me." ”

Then he asked, "What about them?" What will you do with them? ”

They were, of course, my four poor companions.

Ai Xiao sighed helplessly: "Why don't you care about yourself?" ”

I laughed bitterly at myself and said, "Me? When I get here, can I still care about myself? ”

Ai smiled with sincerity on his face and said, "I think you are only a teenager, the road of life is still very long, you shouldn't bury your life here?" ”

My heart fluttered again.

He approached and whispered, "I know you're bitter!" ”

His words were not only soft, but also very moving.

At that moment, my heart was like a vat of bitter pickles, and I couldn't tell how sour it was.

I hurriedly turned my head away and held back my tears.

No one has ever said such a thing to me, but he said that he knew that I was miserable, even if he said it for no reason, it made me feel uncontrollable.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I trembled and laughed reluctantly, and the laughter was full of the sorrow of the floating world!

Ai Xiao looked at me in surprise, and was afraid of stimulating my emotions, so she didn't speak for a long time.

But he seemed to have sensed that the young tomb robber in front of him must have an unusual background.

There was an eerie silence in the cell, as if the heartbeats of two people could be heard.

Until a jailer came over and said fearfully: "Ai Zhutou, those tomb robbers just now have been sentenced to beheading!" ”

My face turned pale all at once.

Ai Xiao thought for a while, and said to me with concern: "I have delayed for you for a day, and when you pass the hall tomorrow, don't be as hossing as they do, and then I will speak for you, and I will definitely save your life." ”

I don't know if I heard him or not, but I could clearly feel as if my body was slowly being evacuated, and my consciousness was gradually blurred.

Even though I was dead or alive once, at this moment, I still felt boundless fear.

I couldn't hold it anymore, and finally sat down against the iron fence, desperately saying, "No need, let me die!" ”

I'm dead, can I be with her anymore?

If I die, will I be free?

I'm dead, I'm a ghost for no reason, and what about her?

A living dead who can never wake up!

Without me, she'll never wake up!

At this moment, my heart shook violently, and I screamed, "No, I can't die!" ”

In my mind, I unconsciously remembered what Yue Lao had said to me.

Yue Lao said: "Only on the night of Qixi every year, you find her and say 'I love you' to her seven times, she can wake up, and you can be together forever." ”

Otherwise, she will always be just a living dead, buried forever by the earth!

It's a torturous spell that has made me miserable ever since!

But I don't care.

As long as I can save her, I am willing to suffer as much as I feel.

So, when I was one year old, I made up my mind that I had to find her.

When I was three years old, I thought of how she had been trapped by a damn spell for so many years, and I called out her name in my dreams every day.

As a result, it frightened everyone.

When I was seven years old, I told my parents that I was going to find her.

My parents were so frightened that they almost fainted, thinking that I was haunted by unjust ghosts, and later asked for several rituals, but they were not cured.

When I was 10 years old, the daughters of other families were coquettish at the knees of their parents, or painted in the boudoir.

However, I deliberately put on the makeup of a sloppy man, looking for tomb robbers in the market all day long.

Because, the only way to find her is to rob the tomb.

It can be said that the emperor has lived up to his hard work, and finally one day, I met a tomb robber in the casino, and this person is Ah San.

That year, I finally ran away from home, determined to become a tomb robber as Wan Fu pointed out to me.

However, who would have expected that success would be a three, and defeat would also be a three.

After learning from him to rob tombs for five years, not only did I fail to find the woman who was closely related to me, but in the end, I still have to do this sword today, isn't it too unjust to do all these efforts?

Thinking of all the suffering I have suffered over the years, I felt extremely sad in my heart, and I couldn't help but scream with resentment: "Ah San, you bastard, you have made me so miserable!" ”

My cries drifted through the prison and pierced through the window into the desert night sky.

I collapsed on the rotten grass in the corner of the wall, and the musty smell seeped into my body, so that I could no longer scream or cry.

Just when I was groggy, suddenly an old voice came: "Baby, tired of crying? ”

I heard it vaguely, but I really didn't want to pay attention to it, my mood was so sad that I no longer had the strength to approach the silence.

The voice said, "Hehe, is it just such a little frustration that stumped you?" Alas, not at all like a tomb robber. ”

I didn't think I heard his words at all, but the words that followed made me nervous slightly.

The old man's voice was always very kind, and he said, "There is nothing to be sad about, and sooner or later there will be such a day when you want to be a tomb robber." ”

Who's to say it isn't?

I often walk by the river, and how can I not get my feet wet?

I bowed, looked up, and in the dim light, I saw a scruffy face.

This was an old man in the cell across from me, with a gray beard and a pair of condensed eyes peeking through his messy beard.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally asked weakly, "Grandpa, are you talking to me?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and said, "Hehe, isn't it me or you?" ”

I sighed in disappointment and said no more.

The old man didn't seem to care about my indifferent reaction at all, and said, "Baby, do you have something on your mind?" Can you tell Lao Er? ”

My heart was filled with sorrow, and I cried out, "What do you hear? It's useless, it's too late! ”

The old man said, "Why is it useless? At least I can comfort you first. It's like my old son, when I first came here, I didn't even have anyone to talk to, so that's what a lonely and sad person! ”

I looked at her weather-beaten face, and I felt a trace of pity in my heart, and my voice was much softer: "Grandpa, you ...... How did they get caught here? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless smile and said, "I'm just like you!" ”

I looked at him in amazement, a little confused by what he meant.

The old man smiled narrowly, and after a while, he said, "Stupid girl, you still don't understand?" ”

I was even more shocked, looking at him in astonishment: "You...... You...... Say what? Stupid...... Stupid girl? ”

The old man laughed proudly: "Haha, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me." ”

I couldn't help but look at my body, a bunch of women dressed as men, and I didn't notice anything wrong, so I panicked: "You...... How are you...... How do you know? ”

The old man pretended to be crying, but said with a smile: "You are crying! That sour look you just cried about. Ouch, how can a man cry like you? ”

I froze.

Only then did I realize that I had betrayed myself by crying and crying undisguised just now.

My face turned red and I was a little speechless.

The old man waved his hand and said, "All right! All right! Don't cry with a sad face, make the old man feel like I stole a rotten egg from you, I'll keep it a secret for you! ”

I shook my head and sighed, "I'm going to die, what's the use of keeping it a secret?" ”

The old man nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It seems to make some sense, but since we all know that we are going to die, why should we mourn earnestly?" Isn't it good to be happy? ”

I sighed and didn't answer.

I know that I can't have the state of mind of an old man, although I know that I am going to die, but what is the difference between pain and happiness?

What's more, since Du Sanniang received the peach blossom curse of the snake demon in her previous life, happiness is already a strange word to me.

I looked up at the night sky outside the window, only to see a few stars flickering, and slowly turned into a person's face.

A woman's face.

The woman's face was facing me in the cell, as if she were smiling.

I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stood up and pounced, leaning in front of the window and screaming desperately: "Sanniang! Sanniang! ”

But in addition to the starlight flashing, where is the shadow of Sanniang?

I was sad and disappointed, and tears flowed silently.

The old man kept looking at it like this, and didn't say anything, but said calmly: "I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen a female tomb robber." Girl, how could you learn to rob tombs at such a young age? ”

I didn't answer.

The old man took the trouble and asked me with concern, "Why don't you speak?" ”

I shook my head, everything was my own choice, what else was there to say?

The old man sighed helplessly, as if talking to himself: "Although tomb robbery can make you rich overnight and make a windfall, it is not suitable for a girl. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Since you choose to take this path, then you must have your troubles, right?" I tell you that I can help you! ”

I was so sad that I kept shaking my head: "You can't help, no one can help." ”

The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "How do you know I can't help?" ”

There was a clear wisdom of an elder in his eyes, and his kind smile made my wandering heart seem to see the coast in front of me.

My heart was sour, and I couldn't help but tell him the sorrow that I couldn't release in my heart, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I seemed to hear countless scolding voices in my ears:

"Look, this is the perverted daughter of the Yan family, it's a shame!"

"It is said that she does not sleep with men, but she sleeps with a woman every day......"

"But no, that woman is still said to be a biao!"

I had a splitting headache, couldn't help but scream, holding my head and shouting desperately, "Don't say it!" Don't say it! ”

The old man obviously didn't expect me to suddenly become so excited, and he was a little at a loss.

And he thought that he had caused me to lose control of my emotions, and he seemed to blame himself even more, even if he wanted to comfort me, he couldn't say anything.

After a while, I calmed down and felt a little uncomfortable, so I said to the old man, "Grandpa, I'm sorry! ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Nothing! Nothing! It's the little old man who bothers you, doesn't he? ”

I complained, "Grandpa, you don't know...... Alas, my heart is so bitter......"

The old man nodded slightly, brushed his beard and showed a kind smile, comforted me and said, "Everyone actually has an unspeakable suffering in their hearts, but the most important thing is to see how you face it, isn't it?" Some people are struck down by this suffering and never have hope, while others can be inspired to become stronger! ”

My eyes lit up, and the old man's words touched the collapsed will in my heart, and gave me another hope of survival.

How strong and persistent I was in the past, and how did I ever give up the expectations I was pursuing after a reincarnation from my previous life?

Is it time to give up like this?

I asked myself in my heart, and suddenly remembered Ai Xiao's words, as long as it was not until the end, how could I give up easily?

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more calm, and a persistent smile appeared on my face.

Looking at the old man, my eyes showed a look of gratitude, and I said, "Old man, do you know why I want to learn to rob tombs?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Why? ”

I said, "I don't rob tombs to get rich, but to find someone." ”

The old man scratched his head, as if he was a little puzzled: "What, looking for someone?" Tomb robbery to find someone? What does tomb robbing have to do with finding someone? ”

In the eyes of the world, tombs are usually robbed just to make a fortune, but it definitely has nothing to do with finding someone, and it is no wonder that the old man showed an expression of disbelief.

I nodded solemnly, and then choked up, "But I have been looking for many years, and I don't remember how many tombs I robbed, but I never found her." ”

The old man was still confused: "Wait, you are saying that you learned to rob tombs in order to find a person, this person...... Is it a dead man? ”

I nodded, shook my head again, and said, "Yes and no." ”

The old man obviously sensed that there was a big reason for this, turned over and sat up, and his eyes lit up: "So you went with that pointy Ah San to learn to rob tombs?" ”

I was shocked, looked at the old man in astonishment and said, "What, old man, do you know Ah San?" ”

Ah San is pointed, and some people do call him a pointed head behind his back, but Ah San is very angry when he hears this, so I and Daxiong Baodian never dare to scream.

But the old man knew that the pointed head was San, and his tone was full of disdain.

I saw that the old man did not answer, although I had a hunch that this old man had a different relationship with Ah San, but since the old man didn't say it, I didn't ask.

After a while, the old man suddenly jumped to the edge of the iron fence as if he had made a decision, looked around, and then said to me: Girl, do you know who I am? ”

I shook my head blankly and said, "How do I know?" ”

The old man raised his head and looked at the oil lamp on the wall, and there was a complicated look in his eyes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, giving me a heavy sense of oppression.

After being silent for a long time, he pulled out the straw on his head, and then straightened out his messy hair with his thin hands, and then said with pride: "Because, I am the tomb god!" ”
