Chapter 36: Reunion
Bai Yi's brain exploded again when he heard this, and even Tang Sancheng felt that something was wrong, he looked at Bai Yi and said softly: "Didn't you say that Fu Yu's aunt has passed away?" “
"It's not me who said, it's Fu Yu who said. () "Bai Yi doesn't understand, could it be that Fu Yu lied?"
Waiting for the villagers to leave, Bai Yi asked Professor He: "Professor, you said that Fu Yu is Fu Min's niece, I want to ask, how many aunts does Fu Yu have?" Also, When did Fu Min pass away? “
"Of course Fu Yu only has one aunt, I know this matter best, Fu Min only has one brother, as for Fu Yu, she also has an elder brother." Professor He suddenly wiped his eyes: "As for Fu Min, she passed away a week ago. “
A week ago, a week ago, Tang Sancheng felt Bai Yi's body trembling, and he finally reached out and gently patted Bai Yi's back: "Bai Yi, calm down, listen to Professor He first, he knows a lot of things you don't know." “
"Professor, please, can you tell us what happened between you and Fu Min back then?" Bai Yi's voice has become trembling, back then, Fu Yu lied to herself, there must be an unknown side, thinking of Fu Yu's trembling back, Bai Yi's heart was like a knife, she lied to herself, and she also played a trick on herself, what is this for? Is it really love and hate?
"Alas, this is probably fate, I came to study Miao witchcraft, Fu Min was still an innocent and lively girl at the time, I felt very new to the outside, in the process of my research, she gave me a lot of help, we fell in love for a long time, but I also found that she hid something from me. ()“
Same situation! Bai Yi's heart beat violently again: "What is she hiding?" “
"She loves me, I can feel the sincere and warm emotions between us, and when I offered to take her away, her father was furious, and Fu Min behaved strangely......"
"Weird?" Tang Sancheng didn't understand anymore: "Isn't it a thing to be happy about if your lover wants to take him away?" What's going on with these women, it's really confusing. “
"Young man, you must not have experienced love." Professor He laughed: "Love is the purest emotion, but it has to be tested by countless practical factors, so love is not such a simple thing. ()“
Tang Sancheng has never experienced love, there is a scorching fire in his heart, which has been burning, and when he hears the unforgettable love between Bai Yi and Professor He, his heart is like a cat's paw scratching......
"Professor, Fu Min's behavior is weird? Where's the weirdness? “
"One day a month, she would come to the place where we had just met, dressed in Miao costume, and practice a designated movement, which looked like some kind of ritual, very religious." Professor He said: "Every time I ask her, she always dodges, no matter how I ask, she doesn't tell me, if she asks in a hurry, she will shed tears, how can I let her cry?" “
Next year is close to antiquity, when talking about this past, this pampering in his words still gave Tang Sancheng goosebumps, and he grabbed his arm: "So you don't know what kind of ceremony it is?" Tang Sancheng asked, looking at Bai Yi, in Bai Yi's memories, when he met Fu Yu, Fu Yu was also dressed in Miao costume, facing the mountain and saluting, this is exactly the same as Fu Min, could this be a coincidence? Tang Sancheng didn't believe it. (I am a mythical beast born again)
"So, you don't know what that ritual is in the end?" Bai Yi's heart crumpled into a ball, as if a hand had reached into his chest, exerting all the strength of his body, and grabbing his heart fiercely.
"I don't know, but I've heard some useful information this time." Professor He said: "It may be that after so many years, the folk customs of Miao Village have become enlightened, and I learned that Fu Min is one of the candidates for the coffin keeper. “
"Guarding the coffin?" Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi asked at the same time, why is it a coffin again?
"That's right, the villager who brought me the herbs just now said that there is a cliff coffin on the mountain, according to the custom, a Gu girl who is proficient in Gu art is needed to guard the cliff coffin, and it is also a forbidden place, except for the coffin keeper, no one else is allowed to approach, as for the reason, he doesn't know, just that this statement has been circulating in the village for hundreds of years, perhaps out of fear, or respect for the instructions of the ancestors, no one has ever dared to approach the cliff coffin, Fu Min became the coffin keeper after I left Miao Village, according to the convention, the coffin keeper cannot get married, It is also necessary to maintain the virgin body. “
So, is Fu Yu also one of the candidates? Bai Yi somewhat understood, why did Fu Yu lie to himself, saying that his aunt had died, in order to hide the fact that the forbidden land was forbidden for the villagers, not to mention that he was an outsider? Bai Yi finally felt a little relieved, wait, then, at that time, Aunt Fu Min had become the coffin keeper?
Fu Min wants to become the coffin keeper, this is her fate, Fu Yu once said that Fu Min's Gu skills are clever, and even Fu Yu was taught by her, so she must have the best competitiveness, so what about Fu Yu, does she also know the fate of the coffin keeper who is about to come?
The corners of Bai Yi's eyes were moist, the moment of separation, he only thought that he had a hard time, how could he think about it, Fu Yu's heart was also full of pain, maybe it was like this, he would faint, Bai Yi suddenly strode towards the village, where is Fu Yu, where is she?
Bumped into a seemingly majestic villager head-on, Bai Yi looked up and saw that this person was somewhat similar to Fu Yu, could it be? Fu Yu also has a brother, Bai Yi didn't care about anything else, so he asked, "I'm looking for Fu Yu, where is Fu Yu?" “
This person glanced at Bai Yi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you looking for Fu Yu?" She's no longer here. “
"What do you mean?" Bai Yi completely lost his usual calm, and his fists clenched tightly.
"You'll just treat her as dead." After the man finished speaking, he slowly walked down the mountain, and when he was far away, Professor He said, "This is Fu Yu's eldest brother, and he is also the current leader. “
Bai Yi couldn't hear anything, "You just treat her as dead!" Every word was like a heavy punch, hitting Bai Yi's heart, didn't Fu Yu become the coffin keeper? What happened next?
"But," Tang Sancheng covered his stomach, hungry: "Professor, didn't you see Fu Min again?" And she died only a week ago, so what's going on? “
"She only told me that there is a time limit for guarding the coffin, generally forty years, after forty years, if you find the next coffin keeper, you can get out of the coffin and return to normal life, Fu Min became the coffin keeper when she was twenty years old, and when she came out, she was already sixty years old." Professor He was very emotional: "If I hadn't come back here suddenly, I don't think I would have seen Fu Min in my life, the feeling of human beings is really amazing, but that day, I wanted to come back here very much, but I couldn't control my impulses, when I came here, I saw Fu Min, I recognized her at a glance......"
"Professor, have you never married?" Bai Yi asked suddenly.
"That's not true, I had a wife, but there was no good death, she died early due to illness, I have no children with her, since then, I have no intention of remarrying, you must be curious why I came back to find Fu Min, it's very simple, the first time is forever unforgettable." Professor He closed his eyes: "For decades, she has been in my head, and it pops up from time to time, to be honest, the reason why I came this time is that I know that my time is running out." “
"Time is running out?" Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi glanced at each other, what does it mean that time is not much, of course it is clear, for these two immortal people, there are some ...... in these four words Irony and sadness.
