"But, I can't blame you....." Chu Xia raised her head, a few strands of broken hair slipped down her cheeks, she looked at Mingyu, her deep eyes became dim: "After all, I myself am not so righteous .... Actually, you know, I'm just a coward, so I can't point any fingers at you..."

Mingyu turned his face away, as if he acquiesced to Hatsu Xia's words and didn't intend to refute anything.

"But please give me back the White Sword..... I needed it so badly to find my grandfather. ”

"But, that's what Qingyuguan does."

"How do you prove it?"

"Huh." Mingyu's thin lips opened lightly, and he smiled coldly, and there was a well-concealed disgust in his laughter, and he said, "You come with me....."

Chu Xia was a little hesitant and uneasy, where was he going to take her? How will he prove it? Could it be that Bai Qijian was really stolen by his grandfather? But it was obviously a note left by her grandfather, and it was something that her grandfather hid in his own land. But is it true that what is hidden in your own home must belong to you..... And, early summer, do you really know what kind of person your grandfather is? Thinking of the series of weirdness so far, early summer can't help but start to doubt himself.

And the handsome guy said very surely, if, if this Bai Qijian really doesn't belong to her, then wouldn't her constant messing around look too big? Ah, it doesn't matter, if it's not your own, it's better to return it to others, and it's a big deal to apologize again.

It's just that it will also cause some trouble to the other party..... Wouldn't her image in front of handsome guys plummet?!

Seeing Chu Xia standing at the desk in a daze, tangled with knotted facial features, Mingyu couldn't help frowning, and her mood was inexplicably happy, this girl was indeed stupid, not like a big traitor, and he also felt her self-doubt, maybe she was really an outsider who didn't know the truth, so why did he care?

Mingyu grabbed Chu Xia's hand and pulled the hesitant Chu Xia to the door, and he didn't know where to go in a hurry, and the outdoor light suddenly brightened, and the warm breeze on his face, mixed with the aroma of wine contained in the wine storage place downstairs, was smeared with a trace of light drunkenness.

The early summer began to be in a trance.

She seemed to be unable to resist the idea again.

He took her hand - for the first time in seventeen years, a boy held his hand! And he's such a good-looking person!

Her face turned red, bang, the sound of her heartbeat was so clear, she felt her heart throbbing, and at that moment, the gloom around her was lit up by something, and there seemed to be countless begonia flowers in the background, fragrant, fresh and bright.

His hands were cold, while her heart was hot and scorching.

She couldn't help her fantasies, is really a headache.

"Your face is not quite right."

But at this moment, he said suddenly.

"Huh?" Chu Xia shook her senses, and when she heard Mingyu's solemn and half-serious words, she was stunned, and thought that her was too obvious, so she quickly lowered her head and tried to bury something.

"I didn't notice that the study was too dark before, but now it looks like you're pale, your eyes are inward-divided, your hall is black, and your breathing is cold and even stopped..... You are the face of the living dead! ”

"Huh? What physiognomy? In the early summer, her nerves were cold, as if she had been pulled up from her dreamy reverie, and then poured a basin of cold water on the coolness, she thought she had heard it wrong, obviously, she was just a nymphomaniac, why did her nymphomaniac's physiognomy become the physiognomy of the living dead? It's so hurtful, isn't it? And is it necessary for him to say it so rudely?

However, Mingyu's eyes when he looked at her were very serious, and his clear eyes were extremely serious, without the slightest hint of joke or ridicule of his peachy fantasies, as if he was simply stating a fact, and only a little unexpected surprise at this fact.

In the early summer, he slowly raised his hand, subconsciously brushed the broken hair, and brushed the bulge on his forehead.

As light as possible, light to the touch.

The familiar pain, awakened again, spread all over the body extremely quickly, stinging every nerve she perceived, the sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bones and blood, drained all her strength again.... It's just that why did she touch it again? Faint regret, but, the touch is subconscious, and it is not governed by the intellect, and the face of the strange pain may be at this opportunity. As soon as Mingyu's words fell, Chu Xia felt a fear in the depths of his soul, a kind of wrongness that he had noticed from the beginning, and the unwillingness to face it that had been buried in the depths of his memory for a long time suddenly sprouted!

It was still the same pain, but this time it was different from usual, her body did not faint with a vague consciousness to relieve the pain, and her nerves were not numb, on the contrary, her thoughts were unusually clear for some reason, so clear that she seemed to be able to feel the relaxation of every pore in her body, and recalled all the details of every forgotten past in the past, and naturally she also suffered and felt every stinging pain from every pore that belonged to the enlarged past.

Thoughts are flying, and Ranran.

Why, didn't you fall asleep as deeply as you used to?

Why, so many subtle memories suddenly come to mind?

In an instant, time is soft, has it been so long:

"Early summer.... Summer..... You're really useless.... The bloodline of the Nankang family is pure, and you haven't inherited it at all...."

It was—Grandpa's voice, so old and cold, echoed over and over again at some point, until it was numb to hear, and now it is forgotten.

"Grandpa....." The early summer in the memory was murmuring, full of grievances and sadness, and his red and swollen eyes were full of rolling tears.

"You who have no utility value to the Nankang family at all...... It was really disappointing to grandpa. ”

"Grandpa.... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so useless......"

"This worthless apology, grandpa doesn't need it."

The tears that were stored in the eyes finally broke the embankment.

Ten years ago, when my grandmother had just died, my grandfather, who had always been loving and majestic since he was a child, suddenly became unsmiling, his face was gloomy, and he was angry and beating people from time to time, his black hair turned into a dazzling snow-white in just one year, and the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together, forming a kind of cold and unkind smile.

From that time on, grandpa would throw her out alone from time to time to contact all kinds of supernatural things, and opened her yin and yang eyes, so that she fended for herself in the arms of the ghostly spirit - the good name is to exercise the ability to cross the spirit in early summer (but no matter how hard she tries, there will be no more), lest she become a complete waste of the Nankang family, but in fact, it is just a ghost hand to clean the door for the Nankang family, the existence of early summer is really dispensable for this family.

When grandma was still alive, grandpa still had scruples, and he loved this granddaughter a little bit in grandma's face, maintaining the warm and harmonious appearance of this family - and since grandma has passed away, grandpa has no reason to love this granddaughter who has not inherited a little spiritual power from the Nankang family.

lives in a family of souls, but he doesn't have the ability to cross spirits, and he is as ordinary as an ordinary person in early summer.

In the ordinary early summer, in the year of my grandmother's death, the nightmare of life officially began.

Whether it is encountering a hundred ghosts at night and not knowing it, or accidentally entering a ghost town and being corrupted by a dragon to the point of dying but no one rescues him, or being appointed by his grandfather to deliver food to the hellhound and being injured by the spirit beast Bai Ze..... These are all that she has begun to experience, and they have also broken her perception of the beauty of the world before she was seven years old.

Helpless, panicked, and afraid.

So she howled and cried in the dark night, arguing and struggling in front of her grandfather.

But it didn't work.

How long has it been so powerless? I thought that my grandfather was just sad because of my grandmother's departure, but after a while, when the sadness passed, my grandfather would become a grandfather before the age of seven, and he would become slightly serious and full of kindness.

For this reason, she has been working hard to please her grandfather, constantly running errands to do some of the most basic soul-attracting tasks of the soul crosser, she hopes that grandpa can be happy, forget the sadness of losing her grandmother, no matter how sad and afraid she is in her heart, she has been smiling very, very hard, and no longer dares to care about any stinging details, but all her efforts are useless, not only useless but also ridiculous, grandpa has always been like that, ruthless, except for assigning her to do something that is difficult to accomplish, There is no more meaning of communication and contact. So much so that her grandfather's impression in her mind until now is that of an old-fashioned, boring and cold image that scares her.

After many years, she has long been used to it, and she doesn't ask for anything anymore, she is not dead after all, and her grandfather just doesn't care about family affection, and she herself seems to have figured out a set of ways to deal with ghosts, and she understands some rules for crossing the spirit from the collection of books at home, at least she can live in this home, live quietly, as long as she lives, it will be fine.

Why do you need grandpa's love?

Why is my heart so damn sour?

But one day, her grandfather suddenly became very affectionate to her, which was very unexpected, and it really made her happy, and she almost cried, and she didn't understand why for a day in early summer, but she was very, very happy, and she thought that her loving grandfather was back. I smiled and watched my grandfather cook by himself that day, made a bunch of delicious things, and talked to her about a lot of school things and the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Nankang family.

She thought that her grandfather had figured it out, and she thought that everything would be fine....... Her previous efforts must have touched my grandfather, and the good grandfather before the age of seven is coming back, she ...... It's really fun.

But for just one day, her grandfather was kind to her for only one day, and the days that followed were even more gloomy and unapproachable.

And after that day, the memory of early summer inexplicably became very poor, and many things were not remembered so clearly, very forgetful, not only did the details of the past become blurred so that she almost forgot the appearance of her grandmother, but also in learning, anything that needed to be memorized, she was forgotten behind the front, so that the Chinese teacher who had always favored her was not very birdy to her, just like the seven-second memory of a fish, any event, filtered in her mind for about seven days, will be blurred beyond recognition, In addition to some basic common sense and people and things to be exposed to every day.

But just as troublesome.

But it may be a good thing, because forgetfulness can be less uncomfortable, and all the unwanted to face it will be as if the pain of the past does not exist, so that there will be no reason for sorrow and grief.

It's just that no matter how she forgets, her soul is inexplicably imprinted with a deep fear and chill for her grandfather, and since that day on, her grandfather's words and deeds have been even more terrifying fears - the fear of forgetting the reason.

But now, but now, early summer was paralyzed in Mingyu's arms and twitched in pain, she remembered something! The dusty fragments of memory suddenly brightened and cleared! Even if it's just the tip of the iceberg.

At this moment, Mingyu hugged the early summer who suddenly collapsed, although he was reluctant to hold this weak early summer, but he still kindly took out the pain-relieving charm to relieve her pain, and began to recite the heart-clearing mantra for her.

The silvery-white halo spread out in all directions, rippling and rippling.

"I remember..... said weakly in the early summer, and she couldn't care about Mingyu's excitement holding her, she was in a cold sweat all over, and her face was twice as pale as before: "Thank you..... I remembered......."

"What do you remember?"

"Seven years ago, seven years ago, my grandfather suddenly treated me very well one day, and he had been very cold to me and even.... Vicious, so I have been planning to escape from my grandfather's shackles one day, but every attempt has failed, because no matter how I escape, my grandfather can always capture me, and to capture me back is a beating, and then send me on a more dangerous and death-prone task to attract spirits....."

Mingyu raised her eyebrows and motioned for Hatsu to continue.

"But that day he suddenly treated me very well, a whole day of pleasant face, and made a table of delicious food for me, I was almost happy, but after eating I became inexplicably very sleepy, grandpa also urged me to go to bed early, I didn't feel anything wrong and went to sleep, as a result of a particularly deep sleep, I slept for a long time, and when I woke up it was already seven days later, and in these seven days of dreams, everywhere was a bloody red, I saw countless tiny insects crawling towards me one after another, and I couldn't move in my dreams, Lying in the flowers on the other side of the mountains, watching those insects devour me little by little and powerless, but I didn't even cry - such a terrible dream, my heart actually did not have a trace of fear, but calm, as if I had expected this dream for a long time, I had expected some kind of ending, so when this dream finally came, when this day finally came, I calmly faced it, and still quietly counted the blood-red manzhu sawa in full bloom in front of me in my dream.

The seven-day dream seemed to be a moment, and when I woke up, it only felt like a day and a night, and I didn't even ask how I slept for seven days at once, and half of it was that my memory was very bad later, and I didn't remember this detail very well, so I naturally ignored it, ah, I was really stupid; And the other half is because I thought that my grandfather's cooking was too delicious, so I was too relaxed - and I was frightened all day so my nerves were very tired, and grandpa suddenly treated me so well I thought that I would never have to go through those tortures in the future, grandpa was so strong that he would definitely be as good to me as I was before I was seven years old, and the previous efforts were worth it, and I was still a good granddaughter of the Nankang family...... Thinking about it with such wishful thinking, I let go of the tension and vigilance I had been on for many days and slept very peacefully...... I also consoled myself that the truth must be like this. ”

When I said this, I couldn't help but start crying faintly in the early summer, but maybe because my body was too painful, and I was crying weakly, and it was very quiet, and only big tears fell......

There was a long silence.

"But I remember, that day, I seemed to have been poisoned."

Chu Xia finally concluded, she smiled miserably, and sighed slightly at Mingyu, who frowned.
