116. A parting gift
"Yu Huan, you know each other too, right?" I looked at my mother, and she looked very strange.
"I know, that girl from the Yu family, I came to the house when I was young, but you don't remember."
My mother said softly, I don't have the word Yu Huan in my memory, but my mother is stubborn and says that I must have forgotten.
"Your dad's lifespan should have been long. But because of the Yin virtue owed by the ancestors of the Qi family," my mother said to me.
All this is a last resort.
"Do you understand the feeling of a person who is in adversity, who is destroyed and has to stand up again and rise again? No, you don't understand, Chuan'er, you still don't understand the kind of heart that struggles to live. ”
My mom sighed, I wouldn't understand. Even to death will not understand why you have to struggle to survive by hurting others.
"Just like me, I can now feel that I am slowly becoming a monster, how many times have I walked to the rooftop, thinking that I can just jump down so gently, and I can live the rest of my life."
My mom choked up and said she couldn't.
"I can't let you go. I can't let go of Haisheng, I can't let go of your grandmother. At the end of the day, I'm too timid. My mother condensed and grabbed my hand, "Chuan'er, even if my mother begs you." Don't tell your dad about it. ”
"But"
"It's my mother's last wish, and I know that my time is running out."
"Mom, don't say that." I was pressed by my mother, she pressed every step of the way, knowing full well that I was ruthless and stood against her.
My mother is very good at using family means, at least in this conversation, the initiative was in my hands earlier, and now it has been completely lost.
"Your father is a good person, when my life was dying, it was he who used his yang life to renew my life, at that time. We're not lovers yet. "My mom was pale, and I was really afraid that she would carry her back without breathing well.
Shen Yan also asked me to let it go, this matter can't be in a hurry, the more you press, the more he is afraid that my mother will have an accident.
I frowned: "I have one more thing to ask you. ”
"You say, as long as you don't tell your dad about it, you have to pretend you don't know anything, you know?" My mom stared at me, and she said she wished I was an ordinary girl.
I nodded: "Let Yu Huan go, she doesn't owe us anything." ”
"But Yu Huan's ghost slave is also your father's key."
"Mom, she's still a kid you know." I went on to say that I didn't want such cold words to come out of my mother's mouth, and she promised me to try it.
"But no one is completely clean, do you really think that Mrs. Qian hasn't done anything wrong over the years, it's all because the child hasn't torn her face yet, she is fine, in the name of your grandmother, she deceived a lot of people outside."
My mother whispered, saying that this was probably karma, and she couldn't believe it.
"Yu Huanna, she is a good girl, but it's a pity that she is too quiet." My mom said softly.
Words after that. I didn't listen much, my mom played a bitter hand and talked about it all when she was a child, and I couldn't remember if it had ever happened.
"Don't say anything about this, even if your grandmother asks."
My mom's voice was calm. But I saw a hint of despair in her eyes, and this feeling was particularly impactful, as if it had completely broken the atrium.
I frowned slightly: "Mom, your body"
"Now that I have become a medicine man, after I die completely, your father will also make me a ghost slave. But Chuan'er, you have to understand, I am voluntary, don't blame your father. "My mom was very calm.
She said that it was all her own choice, and she had no regrets.
"Why?" My eyes were full of tears, and my voice trembled, "The reason why there is today's fruit is because of the causes created before, Mom, this should not be borne by you, nor should it be borne by a girl like Yu Huan." ”
My heart was sour, and suddenly I felt that this was me, and I had to bear the consequences.
I am a descendant of the Qi family.
"Chuan'er. The Qi family's own family is not your father's lineage, but after the events of the year, the Qi family has no side branches, and this vein is left, so "my mother took a breath," inside the ancestral tomb. There is no message from our branch. ”
Our names are not included in the ancestral hall, although now the Qi family can only be my father's decision.
It doesn't matter if these are any of this, but at this moment, my mother said fiercely, "It doesn't matter, your father has spent his whole life, sacrificed so much, and carried the sins for the Qi family, why can't he even enter the ancestral hall with his name?" ”
If you can't enter the name of the ancestral hall, you can't move into the ancestral tomb, a family like the Qi family has a huge family tomb, which is buried in it after death, and the blessings of future generations can be blessed, and the soul is not controlled by the underworld.
After death, the name is remembered by future generations.
This is the glory that my father wants.
"Why bother?"
"Chuan'er, these things will not be understood until you grow up, and you don't experience some things in life. I can't understand it. ”
I couldn't talk to my mom anymore, she always pressed me with her life, and I couldn't breathe, so I turned around and went back to my room.
Locking the door, Shen Yan asked me to relax, this thing was not as bad as I imagined.
"But those people before Yu Huan. Having become ghost slaves, I think of their bones crawling with flowers, and I go crazy when I think of all this. ”
Shen Yan suddenly hugged me: "Chuan'er, you have to understand that things that can't be changed for the time being, being anxious will only exacerbate your irritability." ”
"But"
But my father has gone into the abyss, into the mire, and without stretching out my hand, his whole being is swallowed up by those swamps.
Shen Yan put his arms around me and coaxed me to sleep, and he said that I was highly nervous. If I continue like this, I will collapse, and he is afraid that I will think too much, so he has been there to enlighten me.
I lay in his arms in a daze, and before I fell asleep I heard him humming in tunes, full of exotic songs, languages I didn't understand. But it sounds unusually sad.
I slept deeply, and when I woke up again, it was already ** o'clock at night.
I was walking back and forth in the room when I received a call from Gu Xuanwu, and he said he was leaving.
"What?" I was surprised, "Xie Shixin's matter is solved?" ”
I slept for a long time before I woke up a little, but when I heard Gu Xuanwu say that everything about Xie Shixin was solved, I was stunned suddenly, is my mother's efficiency so high?
I went out to find out where my mom was, but the house was empty, there was no one else, and my mom wasn't home. I didn't reply to any of my messages.
Gu Xuanwu told me on the phone that Xie Shixin had his own home.
"Qi Xiaochuan, you are also a child of my Gu family, although I don't have anything to teach you, I will give you a gift."
Gu Xuanwu was downstairs in my house, and he didn't come up. When I walked down, I saw Gu Xuanwu standing in the shade with his back to me, and when he saw me coming down, he hurriedly took out a white thing from the cloth bag.
He handed it to me.
"This is a flute made of Xiao Yue's Langya wood, I re-sculpted it, and there are relics of the ancestors of the Gu family in it."
Strange runes are engraved on the outside. Gu Xuanwu said that this flute can exorcise souls, and it can be regarded as a life-saving tool for me.
"Maybe we'll see you again in the future." Gu Xuanwu's voice was very soft, but there was a hint of sadness.
"Thank you for saving me when I was at my most dangerous, and thank you too"
Leave me alone.
Gu Xuanwu sneered: "Thank you, thank you for this Yin Destiny Body." If it weren't for Yin Life, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken a fancy to you. ”
Gu Xuanwu said that he was not a nosy person, and his tone was indifference.
But after getting along for a long time, I also feel that Master Gu actually cares about people, at least he can always show concern in his words earlier.
"Yu Huan's matter is Shen Yan's hands and feet, right?" Gu Xuanwu suddenly asked me. said that the flowers on Yu Huan's white bones suddenly withered, and the bones automatically merged into a body.
He asked Xie Shixin to choose whether to share the tomb with Yu Huan or accompany her at the grave.
Xie Shixin chose the same tomb.
"You buried him alive?" I frowned, Gu Xuanwu said how could it be, he just temporarily sealed Xie Shixin's soul. His longevity is not over, and his body is with Yu Huan.
Gu Xuanwu said that he would wake up Xie Shixin in three years, and when the time came, he would ask him if he wanted to continue like this.
"Hmm." I nodded and didn't ask anything more.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, Gu Xuanwu looked up at the sky, and said that it was very late, the street lights were about to go out, and he was going to rush back to Yangjia Village overnight.
"We'll never see you again."
"It's better not to see you."
Gu Xuanwu's figure disappeared, leaving this sentence behind, Shen Yan stretched out his hand and said softly: "He is willing to bleed." This Langya wood, but how many people want it but can't get it, I just made a soul exorcism flute and gave it to you. ”
"Is this jealousy?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at Shen Yan, and the man muttered, saying that he would not be jealous. It's just a broken flute, and it can't be accompanied by a long time.
He took my hand and walked for a long time in the night, but just as we walked out of the community, a dark shadow hurried over, and when she saw that it was me, she screamed violently.
"Xiaochuan, Mr. Gu is gone, where did he go?" Peng asked as he stared at me.
"I'm not his butler, how do I know where he's gone?"
"But you are his apprentice, I followed Mr. Gu to the Rose Garden to help him, but who knew that when I talked to him, I fell asleep, and I was the only one when I woke up."
Peng said softly that it was not good, she could see that Gu Xuanwu had her in his heart.
"How much do you know about Mr. Gu? Don't you know that he has a girl in his heart who has loved him for many years? I whispered.
Peng was taken aback: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Your temper will not give up if you say it a long time ago."
"That's naturally yes, just tell me, if Mr. Gu has returned to Yangjia Village, I won't believe it, and the rock will be pried open for him." Peng asked me gently, as if he was blind and wanted to chase him to Yangjia Village.
