Chapter 47: The Past in the Illusion

When Natsu stiffened and the young woman's back came to mind, she knew she was back in that hallucination. She didn't understand what had brought her into this illusion repeatedly, was it the woman who was going to say something to her?

I have the impression that her name is Ah Bai.

At this time, Ah Bai was sitting on a bamboo bed, embroidering something with stitches and threads. Looking at the environment she is in, it should be the room on the third floor of this octagonal building.

In the illusion, I can't feel the sunlight and moonlight, just the dim light and shadow, and in this dusk, Xiao Xia seems to be connected with her heart, deeply feeling her state of mind - happiness, longing, but still with a little sadness and sadness.

Why do you have such mixed feelings? Xiao Xia couldn't understand that when she saw a man walk in, it was Anan who took the initiative to take Ah Bai's 'love medicine'.

"Embroidering a wedding dress?" Anan asked, a gentle look on his unyouthful but extremely handsome face.

"yes." Ah Bai raised his head and replied with a smile.

This is the first time that Natsu has experienced three hallucinations that Abai's face can be clearly seen from the front. This glance completely subverted Xiao Xia's previous concepts. She once believed that there is no peerless beauty in this world, even a film and television star who is loved by thousands of people is just a makeup artist and stylist, plus lighting and angles. But the moment she saw Ah Bai, she understood what a real beauty was.

Any words to describe a beautiful woman look vulgar on her, her eyes are like autumn water with smoke, lining the whole face so pure that there is no trace of fireworks, gentle and sweet, without any modification, it is already so beautiful that Xiao Xia, who is a woman, also loves it.

"How's the embroidery?" Anan sat next to Ah Bai and pulled out a corner of the dress and looked at it.

"Not yet. In fact, we are not a husband and wife in the world, as long as you truly love me, I am enough. It's just--I'd love to be a real bride once, to wear a wedding dress, if you don't like-"

"I love it." Anan interrupted her, "I know I'm just your ghost husband and can't see the light, but I also want to marry you like a real man, unless you dislike me." ”

"No, no, I'm afraid of you—" explained Abai anxiously, "you know, I'm a witch, and I can't marry a man in the world, and if I insist on marrying, I can only marry a 'medicine ghost'." ”

"So, you just didn't choose me, did you?"

"Not really. I was determined not to marry, so as not to harm the 'medicine ghost', but you appeared, and you know that I really love you. It's just—"

"Just what, you always say half the word."

"It's just -- I can't have children. You should know, my ability is God-granted, so I can't have children. ”

"What's this?" Anan saw that Ah Bai's tears were about to come out in a hurry, and he softened his voice again, "And I am a ghost after all, although you have used witchcraft to give me a body, but I can't have offspring." Wouldn't that be great? Besides, haven't you seen two gifted children lately? Didn't you take them as your own children? Just as your master did to you. ”

"yes." As soon as he talked about accepting apprentices, Ah Bai's face showed excitement, "It's hard to find people with God-given abilities, but I didn't expect me to meet two at once." That little girl's ability is still uncertain, but that boy definitely has a god-given power, but I don't know if his father and mother are reluctant to let him go. ”

"His family has always been ostracized by the clansmen, and now that the only son of his family is favored by the famous witch, he should be anxious. But let's not talk about that, I want to talk about officially marrying you. ”

Ah Bai smiled, but Xiao Xia still felt the feeling mixed with happiness and sadness, and didn't understand how a person who was going to be a bride could have that kind of mood, shouldn't it be full of sweetness?

"I embroidered your name under the pattern." She took out the beautiful wedding dress as if she were offering a treasure, and pointed to the part of her chest, on which a beautiful camellia was embroidered.

Xiao Xia didn't know that embroidery could also be divided into two layers, and it was estimated that it would take superb skills to do it, she just felt that the wedding dress in front of her was very familiar, and after a closer look, she suddenly recognized that it was this one on her body.

"I also used a little bit of witchcraft when I embroidered." Ah Bai continued, "No matter how young I am, this wedding dress will still be the same as new, unless my heart dies." That's exactly what you said. ”

"I will always be with you, life or death!" Anan swore and repeated.

It turned out that the wedding dress used mysterious witchcraft in the production process, no wonder it was still like new after so long, no wonder she hallucinated when she wore it! What does Ah Bai want to tell the descendants who wear this wedding dress?

The wedding dress is still new, which means that Abai has no heart to die, what is she expecting?

Moreover, why did Huang Boheng have to wear this dress to hold a wedding with him?

"Natsu-chan!" A man's voice came out of nowhere, dispersing the illusion and Xiao Xia's thoughts at once, and making Xiao Xia suddenly return to reality.

When I turned my head, it was Jizhan's concerned face.

"Can I move?" Although she is no longer in the hallucination, the sadness and sadness that Ah Bai passed on to her are still there.

"You can't move just because your soul has just returned to your body and you can't adapt to it for a while." Ji Zhan smiled and pulled her up.

Xiao Xia took the opportunity to hold his hand, but felt his arm tense instantly. When I looked down, I saw his palms touching in shock

There was a deep, long wound across the side, and she was so startled that she immediately let go.

"Skin trauma, I got it when I untied the Gu." Ji Zhan covered up and tried to retract his hand, but Xiao Xia grabbed the wrist of the injured hand.

"This needs to be bandaged!" Xiao Xia was so distressed that her stomach stirred, she gently stroked the edge of the wound with her index finger, and blew cool air on the wound with her mouth, "It must be very painful, isn't it?" ”

Seeing Xiao Xia's lowered head almost buried in his chest, and seeing her so concerned about his injuries, Ji Zhan seemed to hear the sound of his heart that had worked so hard to refreeze the disguise melt again. No one has ever cared so much about him, no one has ever felt so much for his pain, no one has ever felt so sorry for him, he seems to have been a person since he was born, and he has never enjoyed any tenderness, and the same is true of several unsuccessful emotional experiences. Only Xiao Xia treats him like this, treating him as a person who will also be hurt, how can he let her go?

Even if he really dies in this incident, or if he can't get through his 'three difficulties', he can't let his soul leave, he will always guard her until another man can replace him.

He reached out and touched her hair, saw her look up at him in confusion, and hurriedly said, "You should go see that unscrupulous psychiatrist, the cut on his foot will take at least a few days before he can walk." ”

"Doctor? What kind of doctor-" Xiao Xia didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before she understood what Ji Zhan meant, and a surprised and happy smile immediately bloomed on her face, "Is Wanli okay?" Have you healed Wanli? That's great! ”

She jumped up in a fit of rage, wrapped her arms around Ji Zhan's neck, and hung on top of him, pecking him lightly in the face, not realizing what she had done, "I knew you would do it, you said you wouldn't let him die, it would be fine!" ”

Wanli's danger has always been a big stone in her heart, so that she can't even breathe smoothly, and truly understands what it means to live like a year, hoping that this torture will pass quickly, but on the other hand, I hope that time will stop, so as to give Wanli a chance. Now, all this contradiction is finally over because of Ji Zhan's efforts, which makes her feel that the whole sky is bright, even though it is just midnight.

"Are you going to see him?"

"Of course, but the wound on your hand needs to be taken care of, and the medical kit we brought is upstairs! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

Xiao Xia urged, and as soon as they went upstairs, they saw Wanli sitting there with his head in his hands, as if he was in pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Xia asked, her face turned white, afraid of any accidents.

Wan Li raised his head, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hug first, after all, I went to the ghost gate for a while." He didn't want to pass on bad information to Natsu, so he reverted to his usual gag look.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Xiao Xia is not at ease.

"I'm pretty sure. I'm just reminiscing about something, but I can't remember it, and I have a little headache. Wan Li said and glanced at Ruan Zhan.

"That Gu is very domineering, it controls all the activities of your body, it's normal to have memory impairment temporarily, it's okay, it will slowly recover." Ruan Zhan said.

Wan Li didn't speak, in his heart, he knew that the lost memory was extremely important, and he couldn't wait for it to recover slowly, but he really didn't want to come. Or is there something related to stimulate him to remember, but what can stimulate this part of his closed memory?

"If you're thinking about something related to what we've been through, then we can discuss the details, which might stimulate your memory, and you don't have to think about it like that." Ruan Zhan saw that although Wanli was smiling, his brows were tightly locked, and he proposed.

"Great idea!" Wanli stood up, but the tingling pain from the soles of his feet made him sit down again.

"You'd better obey orders and listen to commands!" Xiao Xia said, taking out the medical bag under the pillow.

She was busy sorting out the wounds of the two men, and then the three of them discussed the whole thing in the enchantment that Ruan Zhan had set up—the tiny details they had learned, their doubts about everything, and their own thoughts, including Xiao Xia's three sudden hallucinations.

"Speaking of which, I think of one thing!" Xiao Xia stood up, "You turn your head, I'm going to change my clothes first." ”

"Why change? You're so beautiful in this! Wanli grabbed her, "It's still delicate, and it doesn't look so savage." ”

"You don't understand." Xiao Xia glanced at Wanli, "Didn't I talk about it just now?" Ah Bai in the hallucination said that she had embroidered the name of the man named Anan on her chest, and I wanted to take apart the camellia embroidered on it and take a look. ”

"Isn't it called Anan? What else are you looking at? Wanli asked.

"I'm going to see the full name." Xiao Xia said, "I always feel that this man is the key to the whole thing, and that strange woman Ah Wu is just a witness, and this Ah Nan may be the person concerned." Also, I want to make sure that this wedding dress is not the one embroidered by Abai, what if I read it wrong? ”

"It makes sense, turn your head." Ruan Zhan said briefly, then turned around with Wan Li, asked Xiao Xia to change her clothes, and then waited for her to slowly remove the beautiful flower on her clothes.

"Look." Xiao Xia held up the dress.

In the candlelight, on the chest of the wedding dress, hidden under the flower are three characters, the Chinese character - Sima Nan.

It turned out that the man's full name was Sima Nan, and this also confirmed that the wedding dress Xiao Xia wore was indeed the one worn by Ah Bai back then, but what does this have to do with what happened to them and the secret in this mountain forest?
