Chapter 1: The Bonds of Fate
Ding Xiaocong woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was still Jiang Bai, everything seemed to be just an instant, seeing Jiang Bai, closing her eyes, she was still by her side when she opened it, but the location became her own home.
Jiang Bai sat on the edge of the bed, with a nervous Xiaolan on her body, followed by a lazy pupil at her feet, her face was a little haggard, and she was estimated to have been guarding the bedside for a long time.
"Uncle and aunt are still busy in the store, and they don't know about you yet." Seeing Ding Xiaocong wake up, Jiang Bai immediately gave him a reassuring pill, but now this is obviously not Ding Xiaocong's main concern.
"How's Doudou?" Ding Xiaocong struggled to sit up and hurriedly asked. At this time, he found that his right hand and shoulder were wrapped in white gauze, but he couldn't feel the obvious pain, obviously the wound was taken care of by Jiang Bai, Ding Xiaocong sighed and said earnestly: "Thank you." ”
If Jiang Bai hadn't arrived in time with the pupil, I'm afraid he would have confessed directly that night, thinking of her instructions when she left, Ding Xiaocong was a little ashamed.
Jiang Bai sighed and stood up, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and could see Lin Doudou's house through the window. "She left yesterday and returned to her hometown with her father's ashes, and asked me to bring you a message before leaving, so that you can ...... Don't go to her. ”
Hearing Jiang Bai's words, Ding Xiaocong was gloomy, and the room fell into an unspeakable silence, and after a long time, his face became more and more gray, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and he couldn't breathe. He never imagined that the ending would be like this...... Doudou finally came back, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days, and he left again......
Lin Nan should have been sure that he would die a long time ago, and entrusted Doudou to him before he died, but ...... Ding Xiaocong was full of remorse, why couldn't he take care of a girl? also failed to catch Wang Zhiyun and let him run away.
If Doudou is around, she can still take care of her lonely, but why is she so stubborn? I left alone, and I wanted to find it, but S Dong was so big, I didn't know where she went and how to find it......
This is the debt of Ding Xiaocong's life, the more and more he accumulates, but he has no choice, at this point, he feels that he will not be able to pay it back in his life......
Seeing that Ding Xiaocong was so sad that he couldn't help himself, Jiang Bai sighed, sat on the edge of the bed and pressed his shoulder, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
It wasn't until Ding Xiaocong finally let out a long breath that Jiang Bai said: "It was a person named Ma Mingbo who reported to the police, and the police have already obtained some evidence and listed the Wang family father and son as wanted criminals, so you don't have to think about it, they will be arrested sooner or later." ”
"Ma Mingbo?" Ding Xiaocong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and was silent.
Things seem to be quite satisfactory, with the strength of the domestic crackdown on crime, since the Wang family father and son are on the list of wanted criminals, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the punishment of the law, but it is just ...... couldn't take revenge with his own hands, which made him feel a little unhappy, and he always felt that he was cheaper for them.
Jiang Bai seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts, she patted Ding Xiaocong's shoulder and persuaded: "Cultivation is the process of cultivating the mind, you shouldn't have too many obsessions." ”
Ding Xiaocong nodded when he heard this, he understood this truth, but he still had some pimples.
Suddenly, Ding Xiaocong remembered something, looked left and right, and finally saw his backpack on the table opposite, "Help me bring the bag, I have something to ask you for." ”
Jiang Bai handed over the backpack according to his words, and Ding Xiaocong hurriedly turned out a crumpled paper ball inside, and carefully spread it on the sheets, revealing the ancient characters on it.
"This ......" Jiang Bai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get these words from?" ”
"An ancient stone wall." Ding Xiaocong waved his hand, "It's not important, can you tell me what these words are?" ”
Jiang Bai looked down, pointed to one of the characters and said, "This is the word 'Wu', which was very common in ancient times, but this word 'spirit' is unusual." ”
"What's out of the ordinary?" Ding Xiaocong hurriedly asked.
Jiang Bai explained: "In ancient times, there were many ways to write the word 'spirit', with different meanings, such as the mountain on the top, the witch in the middle, and the fire below, and this spirit character represents the spirit mountain. And the spiritual word on the note, Wu is on the top, the water is in the middle, and the bottom is the mountain, which only represents one person, the goddess of Wushan - Wu Gu. ”
In ancient times, there was no distinction between spirits and witches, that is, only witches had spirits.
In ancient times, there were ten witches of Lingshan, among which Wuxian led the southwest mountains to produce witch salt, and since then, the vast mountainous area on that side is called Wushan. After Wu Xian, Wushan has its own new leader, who is known as the witch of Wushan, and she also has a title - Spirit Witch.
It is also said that the witch's real name is "Ling", but these are no longer available.
As the only woman among the ten witches of Lingshan, Wugu is very beloved for managing the people of Wushan in her own feminine and gentle way, and it is said that after her death, she turned into a mountain peak, standing in the vast Wushan Mountain, still guarding the local Li people.
Of course, this is just a beautiful legend, although the witch girl was one of the gods and witches at that time, but it is impossible to turn into a mountain.
Listening to Jiang Bai's narration, Ding Xiaocong pondered, he vaguely remembered that when he eavesdropped that night, he heard Wang Zhiyun and them mention Wushan, but they were too far away at that time and didn't hear anything else.
Could it be that this stone wall has anything to do with the witches of Wushan?
The stone wall can't be the witch's item, as the goddess of the water witch, it is impossible for the witch to use the magic weapon of the witch, not to mention that although that thing is very powerful in Ding Xiaocong's opinion, it is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the witch and other gods and witches.
Judging in this way, Shi Bi may be a subordinate witch who belongs to Wu Gu, but he doesn't understand how this poisonous witch can appear in a local area thousands of miles away.
Hearing Ding Xiaocong's doubts, Jiang Bai thought for a while and said: "It's also possible, there is a legend that the goddess witch and the mountain god Wu Xian are a couple, and later Wu Xian came downstream along the river, and it is likely that this person was brought by him." ”
Ding Xiaocong nodded, but all this was speculation and could not be verified.
"Stop thinking nonsense, get some rest." Seeing Ding Xiaocong frowning and thinking, Jiang Bai persuaded.
Ding Xiaocong agreed, and lay back again, he really couldn't think of a result, but this matter was like a knot, which hit him deep in his heart.
Next, Ding Xiaocong lay in bed for three days in a row, and did not get out of bed until his body fully recovered. During this period, Guo Yunxiang and Hua Hongying came to visit him every day and brought him some news.
Liu Chenghui left, saying that he had received an order from the Sanhua Sect to go to the south on an errand, but as for the specific matter, people didn't say, and they didn't want to ask.
Ding Xiaocong asked Guo Yunxiang about Lin Doudou's whereabouts, but as soon as he mentioned it, Guo Yunxiang was sad, and he couldn't say why.
Lin Doudou seems to be deliberately avoiding everyone, and does not mention his specific whereabouts to anyone, only saying that he will take his father's ashes back to S Dong's hometown for burial. Fortunately, she also said that when everything is done, she will come back to be with everyone, which made Ding Xiaocong's heart feel a little more at ease.
Fate is extremely unfair to Lin Doudou, she is so kind and excellent, but she has encountered such blows one after another, as a weak woman, how strong does she have to be to face all this?
Three days later, Ding Xiaocong finally fully recovered, as if pinching a little, his parents' restaurant business stabilized, and he hired workers, so he finally didn't have to be so busy. Regarding Lin Nan's affairs, Ding Jiazhu and his wife have also heard a little, and they don't know much, but it is enough for them to sigh.
On the fourth day, Ding Xiaocong's spirit was almost recovered, and he went out early in the morning behind his parents' feet, going to Hua Hongying's shop to sit, during this time he was about to be stuffy and moldy. Jiang Bai not only did not stop him, but also joined him, saying that he was also going to relax, and the two of them went out with their sister Xiaolan.
