The reason why I was surprised was that I saw a familiar thing in the bun tied up at the back of Ren Hongye's head - a tortoiseshell hairpin!

Not long ago, in the southern mountains of Jinan, a rich man, the old monkey took me and my second uncle to exorcise evil spirits for him, that evil thing, is one of the tortoiseshell hairpins, and now I see this, about five inches long, dark green, the body is also inlaid with seven gems from small to large, but not green, but white, the top is also decorated with three silver Luo Ying, and the tortoiseshell hairpin that has been broken into two is a pair!

W-How did this thing end up here?! My brows furrowed again, if I remember correctly, the tortoiseshell hairpin in the rich man's hand was sold to him by Sun Miaomiao, so that I and my second uncle could see the dragon and phoenix jade pendant on the kidnapped old clam...... Why is the other one here?

And what makes me even more incomprehensible is that the tortoiseshell hairpin I saw in the rich old Wu's house at the beginning is full of evil spirit, and it gives me a feeling that is more powerful than the soul fixing bead in the hand of the cloth bag monk, but the tortoiseshell hairpin on Ren Hongye's head, why can't he feel the evil spirit at all?!

"Well, Auntie......" I sat back on the couch and addressed her with some awkwardness, "I want to ask you something." ”

"Just ask." Ren Hongye wiped her tears and stabilized her emotions, but before I could speak, she asked, "Ge Wei, why did you want to die?" What has really happened to him all these years? Why didn't you come back to see me for seven years?! ”

"Alas......" I sighed, and I know this very well: a man always wants to show his best side in front of the person he loves, because he does not want to see the disappointed expression of his woman. Just like I was in front of Xiaoxiao, I always wanted to make myself a perfect success, and then marry Xiaoxiao - of course, Xiaoxiao didn't really care about this.

The same is true for Ge Wei and Ren Hongye, Ge Wei doesn't want the woman he loves the most to see him unrecognizable and disgusting, which will destroy all the happy and beautiful memories over the years. Therefore, he chose to escape, chose to leave, and chose to bear alone. But Ren Hongye doesn't care about these at all, what she wants is to be with the person she loves the most, it's as simple as that......

Since we love each other, then grasp the present, and the happiness in front of us is the most practical, not the so-called future that is ethereal and in the mirror.

"Uncle Ge Wei, it is very likely that he was also poisoned during his trip to the west seven years ago." I said: "I've only met him once, Uncle Ge Wei at that time was already unrecognizable, not the handsome Ge Wei at all, and it seems that his physical condition is very bad, even if he doesn't do that that day, he may not live long." It is precisely because he loves you that he did this, you are better, I have always felt that he is dead, and I can only miss him, but Uncle Ge Wei, he is obviously alive, he misses you so much, but he can't bear to see you, his heart must be even more painful......"

Speaking of this, my eyes involuntarily moistened, and such a thing really happened in front of me, which made me feel a pain in my heart.

"Seven years ago...... Seven years ago...... Ren Hongye seemed to be a little unable to control his emotions: "Seven years, what happened in the past seven years-"

"Don't be sad, I'm going to cry......" I smiled bitterly and wiped away my tears that were about to overflow, comforting Ren Hongye.

A few minutes later, Ren Hongye's mood stabilized again, and he wiped the tears on his face with a tissue: "It's okay, anyway, seven years have passed, I thought he had left a long time ago, although ...... Anyway, all left ......."

With that, Ren Hongye got up and went into the bathroom, picked it up, and smiled apologetically at me: "I'm really sorry, although you are a junior, but just now, I couldn't control it, don't care." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." I hurriedly smiled and waved my hand.

"What were you going to ask me just now?"

"That, the tortoiseshell hairpin in your hair, was it given to you by Uncle Ge Wei?" I asked.

Ren Hongye didn't seem to expect me to ask this kind of question, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's been many years, and I can't remember when it was given to me, why did you ask it?" ”

"That's right." I sighed and explained: "The tortoiseshell hairpin you are wearing is actually a pair, that is, the tortoiseshell hairpin, which was used by lovers and husbands to express lovesickness between couples in ancient times, or as a love object, for example, if the husband and wife are separated, the wife will give one of them to her husband. Not long ago, I saw another one from a rich man, with the exact same shape, but the gem on it was green, and it was obvious that it was the same as the one on your head. ”

Ren Hongye nodded, as if he didn't understand what I was trying to say, and still looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Since you are very familiar with my father, you should know some things about our Gu family." I explained, "The other hawksbill hairpin I saw not long ago is a top-notch evil thing, why doesn't the one on your head have any evil spirit at all?" ”

I was even thinking just now, could it be that this Ren Hongye is also the body of the Yin, suppressing or even absorbing the evil qi on this tortoiseshell hairpin? And she can maintain her twenty-year-old appearance at the age of nearly fifty, could it be that this is the reason? But Ren Hongye's answer shattered my conjecture.

"Oh, this, it really has something to do with Brother Zhong." Ren Hongye said: "Ge Wei told me before that the tortoiseshell hairpin was helped by the middle brother to exorcise evil spirits, so he could wear it. ”

Ren Hongye said, then reached out and took off the tortoiseshell hairpin and handed it to me.

I stretched out my hands to take it, and sure enough, I didn't feel anything, this thing has indeed been exorcised - I can't help but think of the scene where the second uncle exorcised another tortoiseshell hairpin that day......

"Uncle Ge Wei, or my dad, did you tell you where this thing came from?" I asked, looking at the dark green tortoiseshell hairpin.

Ren Hongye shook his head: "This, I really didn't have it, I just thought it was beautiful at the time, so Ge Wei gave it to me." ”

I nodded, returned the tortoiseshell hairpin to Ren Hongye, paused and asked, "Before, did anyone else come to you for Uncle Ge Wei?" ”

Ren Hongye hesitated a little: "Hmm...... Yes, yes, but after I came, I asked where Ge Wei was, and I didn't ask anything else, but it didn't affect me, and in the past few years, few people have come. ”

It seems that her life is already very peaceful, and perhaps, the woman in front of her will be so lonely for the rest of her life.

After chatting with her for a while, I got up and said goodbye, the wallet was returned to its original owner, and it also left some thoughts for Ren Hongye.

Walking out of the yard, I walked around a few side streets a few times, but I didn't see the van, so I hurriedly squeezed into the bus and rushed back to the city.

On the way, I mustered up the courage to call Xiaoxiao, it happened to be Friday, there was no work at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, picked up the phone and chatted for a while, when I said that I was going to formally propose to her, Xiaoxiao was silent.

For so many years, what I was most afraid of was Xiaoxiao's silence.

"Xiaoxiao, I think we should get married, I ......"

Before I finished speaking, Xiaoxiao interrupted me: "I don't want to tie it." When you don't want to tie the knot, tell me no; Am I going to tie the knot with you when you want to? It's up to you to decide everything? I think it's good to live alone now, and I don't have the idea of getting married at the moment......"

"But us?" My heart suddenly felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was extremely cold.

"Let's leave it like this...... Xiaoxiao sighed: "In the past six months, even meeting is an extravagant hope, and besides, don't you think that we are completely two circles now?" That's it, I'll hang up first. ”

"Toot-toot-"

Listening to the busy sound over there, Ge Wei and Ren Hongye, as well as Xiaoxiao, appeared in my mind. Tears flowed uncontrollably, soaking through the placket and heart......
