Xia Ye lay on the hay simple bed that Ah Jiu gave her, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Until dawn, she didn't think of any way to let Ah Jiu willingly hand over the snow lotus to her.

In fact, she felt that it was not impossible for her to use the robbery herself, or to dig it out after Ah Jiu buried the snow lotus in front of his grandfather's grave...... But in the face of a thirteen-year-old child's simple filial piety, she felt all kinds of guilt at the thought of doing so.

Anyway, I don't think I'm a good person, how can I be such a mother-in-law? The one who needs first aid is the princess, the princess! It's a life, and the whereabouts of the mother!

Her contradictions and entanglements lasted until Ah Jiu took her to sweep her grandfather's grave, and when she saw the words on the tombstone, she stumbled and fell to the ground directly.

This is a very simple mound, it looks like it is some years old, the bulging mole has settled over the years, and the soil has become hard. However, there are no weeds growing around, and it seems that Ah Jiu often takes care of it.

And on the wooden tombstone that had been devastated by the wind and frost, the engraved words had faded a lot, but Xia Ye could still see at a glance what the words were.

The tomb of the medical saint Qian Zong, the payment is: closed disciples, Lan Bing, and Ah Jiu are offered.

Ah Jiu knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, but Xia Ye was stunned and didn't know how to react.

When Ah Jiu finished kowtowing and got up to dig a pit on the ground to bury the snow lotus, Xia Ye came back to his senses from his trance.

He pulled Ah Jiu and asked, "Tombstone Mountain, who is this blue ice?" ”

Ah Jiu glanced at her inexplicably: "Blue ice? I heard it was my sister, but I've never seen it. I lived with my grandfather in the mountains for ten years, and I never heard my grandfather mention it, until my grandfather was dying, and he told me that he wanted to put my sister's name on the tombstone. ”

When he talked about Lan Bing, he was also confused and indifferent, he really hadn't seen it.

Xia Ye smiled, feeling a little nervous, Ah Jiu is so young, he is only thirteen years old in total, and if his mother had been here, it should have been twenty years ago.

So she speculated that about twenty years ago, her mother had come here, met Ah Jiu's grandfather, and learned art, but then her mother left. Ah Jiu's grandfather missed his mother, so he asked Ah Jiu to engrave his mother's name on the payment.

Although it seems that the clue has been broken again, Xia Ye is still excited, and her mother has been here...... Buried in the ground is my mother's former master.

That is, her ancestor?

She puffed, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully, "Master Zu is above, disciple Xia Ye has kowtowed to you!" If the ancestor has a spirit, I hope to guide the disciple to find the mother! If you are negligent in preparing today, next time you are free, the disciple will definitely bring three livestock and nine animals to worship! ”

Three bows and one bow, a total of nine kowtows, respectful and pious, after bowing, as soon as I looked up, I found that Ah Jiu was staring at her intently.

She wiped her face inexplicably: "Is there something on my face?" ”

Ah Jiu shook his head: "No." I'm just curious, when did my grandfather take you in? How do you call it indiscriminately? ”

Xia Ye stood up and touched Ah Jiu's head: "Ah Jiu, whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you, Lan Bing, it's my mother." I came all the way to Xishu just to find my mother. ”

She exhaled heavily, and counted the next day, today is the fifth day. I wonder what happened to Siray and his mother? She always felt that things were going to be bad.

It's better to get down the mountain quickly.

Ah Jiu's pit was dug, and the crystal clear snow lotus was packed in a transparent glass box by him and held in the palm of his hand. Carefully put it into the dirt pit. Immediately afterwards, a handful of soil was sprinkled on it, and the snow lotus was gradually buried.

Xia Ye bit her lip and stared at the dirt pit for a long time, until the snow lotus was gradually buried, she sighed in disappointment and said, "Ah Jiu, I still have important business, go down the mountain first." You wait for me here for a few days, if I still have the life to come back, I will take you to the bottom of the mountain to live a good life, if I die, you can also choose to go to Jiang Guoyun Palace, say my Xia Ye's name, and you can settle down in the Cloud Palace, or...... It's good to live the life you want......"

She didn't bother to make any more arrangements. Although Ah Jiu is young, he has always lived in the mountains and isolated from the world, but he doesn't know where he learned his defensive heart, and he doesn't trust anyone.

made Xia Ye very speechless.

Feel free, everyone has their own life.

Xia Ye scratched his head in annoyance, he came to Shushan once in his life, and returned empty-handed, if he didn't have hope in the first place, the loss at this time could still be bearable. But she had already seen the snow lotus in her hands, but she still saw it buried in the pit with her own eyes...... It's a feeling of despair that no one can comprehend.

She took two steps in annoyance, and a thought flashed in her heart, after Ah Jiu left, she would secretly come and dig out the snow lotus...... Although it is a bit disrespectful, after all, human life is more important than burial...... Well, that's right. She cheered herself up and walked slowly down the mountain.

Who knew that she had only walked less than a hundred steps, and suddenly Ah Jiu's voice came from behind: "Sister." ”

Xia Ye paused and looked back: "Ah Jiu? What's wrong? ”

Ah Jiu's face was a little unnatural, and between his eyebrows was a little like the shyness of his daughter's family, he lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Sister, actually...... I want to go down the mountain with you. ”

Huh? Down? Natsuba was stunned.

Ah Jiu raised his head expectantly and looked directly at Xia Ye: "Sister, can I?" Don't you come to me when you're done, okay? I want to follow you down the mountain now, and I promise that I will be obedient and obedient, and I will not cause you trouble. ”

Not...... It's not a question of whether you get into trouble or not...... It's just that she can't protect herself now...... If you take Ah Jiu down the mountain, what if you are affected by yourself?

She shook her head and said a little apologetically: "Ah Jiu, it's not that my sister won't take you down the mountain, but that my sister is really in trouble." My sister owes a life to a person at the bottom of the mountain, and if she can't be saved, my sister will also die. My sister is afraid that it will affect you. ”

"Is that so?" Ah Jiu tilted his head and looked at Xia Ye a little confused.

Xia Ye wanted to say that whether she could survive or not would depend on whether she found Snow Lotus. But in the face of Ah Jiu, she felt a sense of guilt every time she mentioned Xuelian, she desperately needed it, but she didn't want to mention it.

Very tangled. Snow Lotus is still hanging on the life of the princess.

She still nodded, looking at Ah Jiu in embarrassment.

Ah Jiu was very disappointed, looking at Xia Ye's eyes gradually dimming from the initial expectation, he drooped his head and said, "I know, you want Snow Lotus." You rejected me because I didn't give you Snow Lotus. But it doesn't matter, I won't go down the mountain, sister, you can go. ”
