Chapter XVI Debt
"Tut-tut! What a touching scene! The thin figure looked at the smoke cloud and said, Bai Yu took a step forward and said angrily, "Who are you?!" Why?! Qin Fan looked at Bai Yu's red eyes, it seemed that the death of the pheasant had a great impact on Bai Yu, the man laughed strangely and said, "Who am I?" I've long forgotten my name, I just remember when I was at the Evil Wizards, they all called me Elder Nine! β
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and said, "It's you evil wizards again!" Aren't you afraid of retribution when you wantonly kill people like this?! The Ninth Elder thought about it seriously and said: "I don't seem to have killed anyone directly, someone found me that day, and I had to let the leopard chase him and kill him, as for the person who is now on the ground, he died to save people, I have lived for more than sixty years, and she is the only one who really wants to kill!" β
Qin Fan looked at the Ninth Elder and said, "Since you haven't killed anyone, why did you come out to do evil?" Are evil sorcerers destined to wreak havoc on the world? The Ninth Elder laughed and said, "You are too naΓ―ve, evil wizards naturally have their ideals in killing people, and I have already retired to the mountains and forests thirty years ago, I have been ignoring the affairs of evil wizards for a long time, maybe they have forgotten about me as a person, I put on the cloak of evil wizards again, just to take revenge!" β
Bai Yu frowned and said, "Yanyun is not yet 30, you have been in seclusion for thirty years, how can you have a grudge?" The Ninth Elder closed his eyes and said, "This has to start from forty years ago, at that time I had been learning witchcraft with Master for a long time, and after practicing every day, I would go up the mountain with the girl next door to watch the sunset, such days lasted for a long time, we all knew that we liked each other, she was a girl, naturally she would not speak first, I couldn't speak because of my identity."

The Ninth Elder looked at his hands and said, "One day the master called me up in the middle of the night and took me away, and when I arrived at the place, I found that all the evil wizards there were like me, and there were people constantly competing, and after the master and some old people on the stage quarreled a few words, he turned around and said to me, defeat them!" All I remember that night I couldn't lift my tired fingers, and none of those about my age could stand up, and from that night onwards I became the youngest elder among the sorcerers! β
The Nine Elders looked at Qin Fan and said: "At that time, it was the most beautiful time in my life, every day it was a group of people who accompanied me, I took them everywhere to collect souls, at that time my personality became more and more perverse and violent, and I liked bloody scenes more and more, if she didn't appear, I should be an old devil in your eyes now, but I met her in a mission." β
The Ninth Elder's face became a little hideous, and he said with a look of hatred: "When I saw her, she was no longer the little girl she was back then, she was mature, just in her twenties, but there was an indelible sorrow and vicissitudes on her face, and even a few more strands of gray hair on her head, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were not brought by the years, but cried, I hate!" Who made her what she is now?! β
"I grabbed her in the crowd, she looked at me very indifferently, that look can really break a man's heart, she didn't speak, she didn't resist, I left behind the people who followed me, I left behind the status, I also left behind what I learned since I was a child, I let go of the ideas that my master instilled in me since childhood, I just wanted her to go back to the way she was before, just like that, an evil wizard with a desperate woman, we returned to that small mountain village."
The Nine Elders' eyes were full of memories: "I take her to watch the sunset every day as before, she sometimes rests her head on my shoulder as before, during that time, her face is much less sorrowful, and occasionally she will show a smile, that is my happiest day, but I found that her face is getting worse and worse, and even sometimes coughing up blood, every time I ask her, she always smiles and shakes her head, one day I secretly took advantage of her inattention, knocked her unconscious, and took her to the hospital." β
Two lines of unspeakable old tears flowed on the face of the ninth elder like tree bark: "The doctor said that she has not cultivated since giving birth, and her heart is stagnant, and her life is coming to an end, in fact, as an evil wizard, I have many ways to let her live, but I didn't do that, it would be too selfish for her, since then, the smile on her face has increased, and I cherish this time even more, accompany her to watch the sunrise and sunset." β
The Ninth Elder sighed and said, "She still left after all, with regret, she left me a letter and a package, and after I buried her with my own hands, I sat in front of the grave and read the letter. β
The letter wrote: "I was very happy in the days with you, maybe God has given me too much injustice, I want you to compensate me, after you suddenly disappeared, I waited for you for three years, my family has been urging me to marry, I said that when the autumn comes, you will come back, because you like to sit with me under the withered yellow tree and watch the sunset together, but the leaves are green and yellow, there is no news from you for three years, my heart also withered with the leaves, the family forcibly arranged for me, they used me to give birth to a child for twenty years." , changed a set of buildings in the city, after getting married, he was only a fertility tool for me, without any feelings and any care, when I was pregnant, he was not at home all day, even if he came back, he was drunk, once I saw the lipstick marks on his clothes, and finally confirmed the guess in my heart, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, the day after I just gave birth, he took a woman to take the child away, I knew the news and began to look for it like crazy, I walked all over the city and didn't see him, I only hugged the child when I was born, I didn't even look at it carefully, so I was separated from the child, I came out of the hospital penniless, there was only a cut umbilical cord in my bag, and my child's placenta, I wandered around the city like a lost soul, hoping to meet my child one day. β
"I remember that day I was sitting under the bridge, and a man jumped off the bridge, and I saved her, and it was actually the woman who took my child with him, and I shook her like crazy, and I asked her, what about my child? She cried and said, I'm sorry for you, he was with me before you got married, because I couldn't have children, he found you, I swear, I have always taken care of your children like my own children, the children have not suffered a little grievance, but he, but he abandoned me for a richer woman, he took the child away, married the rich woman, but he took the child, I have a deeper affection for the child than him, I have looked for him many times, I want to see the child, but he has kicked me out again and again, I don't have a child, I really feel like I can't live anymore, maybe this is the retribution I robbed you of your child, I also tasted the taste of losing a child, this feeling is really worse than death, I'm sorry, after she finished speaking, she walked to the center of the river with tears, this time, I didn't save her, I have even forgiven her, we were all deceived by that man, she is happier than me, at least she lived with the child for a while, watched the child's growth, experienced the child's laughter and tears, that is what I have never had, I know I don't have long to live, I hope you can help me find my child, see if she is doing well, she doesn't look like me, if you can find the child, don't let the child know that I exist, I don't want to cause trouble to the child, as long as the child is happy. β
"Finally, thank you for accompanying me through the last part of my life, if there is an afterlife, I must be with you, with our children, and live a plain and happy life."
