Chapter 85: Rushing
The car drove steadily onto the road, and although the scenery outside the window was unfamiliar, there was a sense of belonging, which made people feel very relieved.
I looked at Chu Nantang from the mirror, it seems that too many things have happened in the past half a year since I was away.
But with Chu Nantang's ingenuity, there is no difficulty that can stump him, right?
Seeing that I was looking at him, he couldn't help but turn his head and smile and ask, "What are you looking at?" ”
I pursed my lips and smiled: "I escaped death this time, I didn't expect to be able to return to your side again, Nantang...... I feel very lucky. ”
"I also think it's a great blessing for Madame to be able to come back to me."
Looking at each other and silent for a while, he put down the passenger seat: "It will take more than an hour to get home, you sleep first, and I will call you when you arrive." ”
"Hmm." I lay down in peace, half-squinted at the fleeting scenery outside the window, yawned, and fell asleep gently.
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the house that he whispered a few times in my ear, and I woke up leisurely.
"Madame, here we are. Get out of the car. ”
Looking at the familiar new house, Mo Ming's intimacy, he unbuckled my seat belt for me and opened the car door first.
I couldn't wait to see Xiao Fan, he smiled and said, "I'll go in with my luggage, and Mrs. will go in to see Xiao Fan first." ”
"I, I'll go in first." As he spoke, he ran into the yard with a long skirt, only to see a strange middle-aged woman pushing a walker, and a one-year-old child looked around curiously.
The little guy was white and clean, and his flesh was very cute, and I stood there. Happiness came too suddenly, and I didn't dare to step forward, afraid that all this beautiful breaking would be just a dream.
Until the little one saw me, stared at the big black eyes, tilted his head curiously for a long time, and walked towards me with his little short legs.
The nanny followed closely behind the child, and when she saw me, she was pleasantly surprised: "You are Xiaofan's mother." Mrs. Chu, right? ”
I took a deep breath and reached out to hold the child into my arms, perhaps because the blood was thicker than water, the child was held by me and did not resist.
He could only make some simple pronunciations, and when he saw Chu Nantang pulling his luggage in, he clapped his little hands and shouted excitedly: "Dad, Dad, ......"
"Xiaofan, I'm my mother, do you remember my mother?"
He was only a few months old when he left, and he certainly doesn't remember. Although there is a little regret in my heart. But it's not too late.
After entering the house together, the nanny took my luggage to the room to tidy up, and Chu Nantang walked to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee.
"Taste, I just learned how to make coffee, it's all fresh coffee beans freshly ground."
I tasted it, it was very mellow, and I couldn't help but admire: "Nantang, how can you learn everything so quickly?" ”
"Because I want to surprise you, and when you wake up, I'll give you a husband who can do anything."
Xiaofan quickly got acquainted with me, and if you have a mother, you can do without a father.
"In the end, it's his mother, blood is a very magical thing." Chu Nantang looked at me and Xiao Fan, and couldn't help but sigh: "Especially these days with Xiao Fan, I have a deep understanding. ”
"What has happened in the past year?"
He took a sip of coffee before he said, "Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi have disappeared, but I think they are so badly injured that they are only temporarily hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity."
And I, from a ghost to an adult. It took a month to adjust to the new environment and identity. There were some troubles in applying for a new ID card, but this world money is a really good thing, and you can do anything with it except feelings.
I took some money to invest, I was lucky enough to make a lot of money, occasionally went to the company's headquarters for a meeting, and I am still an idle person, looking for a side hustle to enrich my life. ”
I looked at him, obviously talking about the life that is out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, but he said it clearly.
Some people, who have spent their whole lives, have also reached a height.
"It only took you eight months to accomplish these things, and it sounds like a legend."
"Not really." He smiled meaningfully: "Many things seem simple to you, but in fact, success is not accidental. Maybe it's the right time, the right place, and the right people. And I'm not self-made. When I was a child, I often followed my grandfather to run business, and those business experiences were always the same. Analyze and learn well, and then aim at the opportunity. ”
I took a deep breath and said, "It seems that I also need time to get to know the new you." ”
It's only been eight months, but it's been eight years. Memories seem to be still stuck in distant time and space, and they can't be pulled back for a while.
I looked around and asked him, "What about Xiaobai?" How is he? ”
"He's not in any danger yet."
"What do you mean?"
Chu Nantang said: "Madame, do you remember what I said when I first went to Xiaobai's house?" ”
I tried to think about it, and I was more and more impressed: "You said that the house was strange, as if he had never lived alone. I can't sense the breath of others. ”
Chu Nantang nodded: "Actually, he spread a big panic, but he also deceived himself." ”
"What...... Meaning? ”
"One part of the memory in his mind was sealed, and another memory that was not his own was forcibly indoctrinated. At the moment, I'm not sure who he is, but his identity is anything but simple. ”
"Does he know that?"
He didn't know, he just thought he was Bai Yiqing. This method of forcibly instilling memories is a bit like hypnosis now, but it is a little different. ”
A cold sweat broke out on my back: "Then, it's not a coincidence that he came to us?" ”
"It's certainly not a coincidence, it's inevitable. Leave him behind first, and see what the black hand hidden in the shadows wants to do. ”
I pursed my lips, "You keep him around." In fact, he also wants to investigate his true identity? ”
Chu Nantang replied lightly: "I planned to do so at the beginning, but after getting along for a long time, there will always be some feelings, in fact, I hope that Bai Yiqing will always be just Bai Yiqing." ”
I let out a long sigh and fixed my gaze on his left arm: "What about the forbidden spell?" I can think of a way to crack it. ”
He didn't hide anything, unbuttoned the sleeve of his shirt and pulled it up. I saw the black rune totem, as if it had vitality. From the beginning, the imprint gradually spreads upward. It occupies almost half of its arm.
"It's so fast, it's growing faster than I thought."
Chu Nantang was silent for a while before he said, "It's okay, we still have time." You go take a shower first, and then we'll take our time. ”
"Hmm."
At this time, the nanny came out of the room: "Madam, everything is packed." ”
"I've worked hard for you, I don't know what you call it?"
"My surname is Shu."
"Then call you Aunt Shu."
After a brief hello, I took my clothes and went to the bathroom for a bath. In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon. The family is still the same as when it left, and nothing has changed.
I sat on the edge of the bed and touched the sheets, and the past was like a cloud of smoke, and before I knew it, it would dissipate.
I heard the sound of someone opening the door behind me, I looked back and saw Chu Nantang walking in unhurriedly.
"What are you thinking?"
I smiled at him: "I didn't think about anything, it's so nice at home." ”
He sat on the edge of the bed with me, reached into his arms, and kissed me on the brow.
"I always feel like you're worried when you wake up. What can you tell me. ”
I reached out and hugged his waist: "I just think it's not easy to come this way." But I don't know, how long can we have a good time? ”
He smiled and stroked my back: "Don't think about it so much, at least we can still have each other now." ”
"But I, I want to be with you forever, and don't be separated again."
Yes, maybe people have been through too many things, either they have realized it or they want more.
In order to be with him, these hands were stained with blood. I used to wonder if it was worth it, but now, in order to make the grief and pain of the past worthwhile, I don't want to lose the most important person in my life.
"Why are you crying?" He reached out to wipe the tears from my face, only to realize that the tears were already wet on my cheeks.
"Nantang, I love you, I miss you very much."
"Madame...... I love you too. I miss you too. ”
He threw me down under him, and the fiery kiss robbed me of all my sanity, and I couldn't think of anything but to respond to his thoughts and loves.
His wheezing voice grew heavier, and with a withholding tremor, he whispered in his ear, "Madam, is it okay?" ”
"Hmm." I bit my lip and buried my face in his chest.
He smiled lightly and stripped off each other's clothes, lingering endlessly, sighing that time was too short.
At night. Seeing Bai Yiqing, who had been absent for a long time, this fool actually gave me a look when he saw me.
Rushed forward and gave me a big hug: "I was still thinking yesterday when you will wake up and see you really good." ”
Chu Nantang half-squinted, with a hint of murderous aura: "Grandson, take your hand away from my wife." ”
Bai Yiqing was shocked, hurriedly took a step back, and raised his hands: "Grandpa, I hugged it very purely." ”
"I wanted to believe you, but look at your face that isn't very pure. I just can't put my mind at ease. ”
Bai Yiqing wanted to cry without tears: "Where am I not pure?" ”
I couldn't help laughing, and hugged Xiao Fan, who had just woken up: "Let's have dinner first." ”
When he was about to finish eating, Chu Nantang said: "I plan to recruit an archaeological team online. ”
Bai Yiqing quickly finished the rice in the bowl and asked with interest: "Is it about the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions and the forbidden spell?" ”
"Well, there are so many capable people in this world, I put a piece of ancient country text on it, and people who are interested in and studying it will come here."
Chu Nantang said that he would do it, took the bronze ancient box that night, and copied a passage of ancient Chinese characters. A few photos were taken and put online.
However, recruitment is not an overnight thing, Chu Nantang said that within three months, people must be gathered.
Seeing Xiao Fan asleep, I was reluctant to leave until Chu Nantang walked into the baby room.
Walked up to me lightly: "Madam, it's not early, you should rest early." ”
I walked out of the baby room with him and asked him, "Nantang, will Xiaofan's identity have any hidden shadow for him?" ”
Chu Nantang said: "Even if there is an impact. That's for later. He is still young, and the power of Hades has not yet awakened, so he will not attract unscrupulous people for the time being. ”
I nodded thoughtfully, Chu Nantang seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Madam, have I told you?" ”
"What?"
"Me and you, even if we are flesh and blood, have long been incorporated."
"What do you mean?"
"Eighteen layers of underworld, all have different Hades in charge, the day you gave birth. It just so happened to be the reincarnation of the Ten Halls of Yama once every 100,000 years, in fact, from that moment on, you and I were already immortal. ”
"The forbidden spell ......"
Chu Nantang sighed lightly, raised his hand and looked at the black spell on his arm: "I don't know, in fact, I also thought about it at the time, put it to death and live again, but I didn't expect that the seal of the forbidden spell would be reborn together." Even if he is the father of Hades, can he resist the erosion of forbidden spells? It's just that the imprint of the forbidden spell is constantly growing and spreading. ”
"There must be a way to break the forbidden spell."
He kissed me on the lips, "Go to sleep, I've got something to do." I'll go back to sleep later. ”
Lie in bed. But he couldn't find sleep, staring at the door of the room, thinking about when he would finish his work.
I took the book and lay down at the head of the bed to read it, and when I heard footsteps outside, I put down the book in my hand.
I saw him walk into the room, take off his glasses, and when he saw that I hadn't slept yet, he was surprised and asked, "Can't you sleep?" ”
"Well, I can't sleep when you're not around."
He smiled. After changing out of his dressing gown, he hugged me into his arms after lying down: "I can't sleep, you can chat first." Originally, I wanted to do something bad, but your body is just right, so you shouldn't '' it too quickly. ”
I thumped his chest: "You're bad again." ”
"Madame forgives sins, and the little ones know their mistakes."
He would admit his mistake first every time, so I always thought that there would be no quarrel between me and him.
"I've forgiven you."
"Thank you, ma'am." He took my hand and reached into his clothes: "Is it warm?" Later, when it gets colder, I'll warm up my wife's bed. ”
"Nuan, Nantang, you're so nice."
"You are my wife, and I live in this world, the only bond and love, if I treat you badly, who else can I be good to?"
After being silent for a while, snuggled in his arms, the impact of happiness was too strong, and he had no sleep, and there were too many things to say to him.
"Nantang. Why do you need to wear glasses? ”
"Who knows......" he sighed, "Maybe I used to read too many books, so you should read less books at night and chat with me." ”
It seems that even if the body is reshaped, it is not possible to repair all the previous defects.
"Is the recruitment going well?"
"There are many people who are interested, and some of them are directly asking how much money they can get and what benefits they can get. However, things can't always be rushed, and things can't be rushed to achieve it. ”
"Well, too."
"What are Madame's plans? Do you want to continue with your unfinished studies? ”
I don't want him to think about all this for me, and it's false to say that he is not moved.
"I want to finish my unfinished studies first, but I want to change my major."
"What major?"
"Archaeology."
He laughed: "Is it because of me?" ”
"Well, because of you, I think it might be of some help, or I know a lot of friends who have research in this area."
"Okay, I support everything you decide, I'll help you rearrange it, leave it to me."
After about half a month, he really helped me get everything done, and I was a little nervous on the first day of reporting to my new school.
I don't know if I can adapt to the new environment, and I always look back frequently to see that he is still there.
Maybe he knew I was going to be nervous and didn't leave. As soon as I turned around, he was there, which made me feel at ease.
But who knows, his stop caused a lot of commotion in the school.
There was a beautiful man standing outside the classroom of the Department of Archaeology, and the girls with curiosity came to see the beautiful man's demeanor.
When he went back, sitting in the car and seeing me sullen, he coughed lightly: "Then will I come tomorrow or not?" ”
"Don't come, beckon bees and butterflies."
He let out a long sigh, a little hurt: "I can consider wearing a dust mask." ”
was amused by his words: "I don't have such a small device." ”
"No, I'm afraid that Madame will be upset. Things that make the lady unhappy should be put an end to. But seeing you smile, I'm relieved. ”
After a month of recruitment, he finally found two that met the requirements, and Chu Nantang met with them privately. and bought a villa to use as a research room.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Chu Nantang seemed to have planned all this.
Until one day, he said that he had found a job that he was interested in, and that he would allow us to see each other often at school.
I was curious for several days until I heard that there was a new music teacher in the music department, and it was not surprising that a new music teacher had arrived, but I heard that ...... He is very handsome, so his classmates are attracted to see it.
I immediately connected with what he had said the other day about finding a new job, sorted out the notes, ran outside the music classroom, and looked inside with my neck long.
I vaguely heard the sound of pulling the erhu inside, the song was "A Cut Plum", and the classmates around me were discussing it excitedly.
"This new music teacher is not only handsome, but I have heard that no instrument can beat him!"
"He looks too handsome when he plays the erhu!"
"That's when you didn't see him playing the kite, that's the best in the world!"
……
As she spoke, the girls wiped their saliva and were fascinated by it.
Hey, Chu Nantang, Chu Nantang, it's really a demon, one didn't look at it, so he came out to make waves and attract bees and butterflies.
When it was time for lunch, I received a text message on my phone.
Chu Nantang: Come to my office for lunch.
Me: Okay, where is your office?
Chu Nantang: The fourth room on the third floor of the office building.
When I came to his office, I saw that he had found a small table out of nowhere, on which several dishes were already arranged.
I closed the door and felt a little uneasy: "Doesn't that seem like this, right?" ”
"What's so bad? I heard that the food in the cafeteria is simply devil's cuisine, so in order for you to eat well, I will eat with you at noon every day. ”
I sat down at the small dining table. After eating a few bites of food, I thought for a while and said, "I saw you playing erhu in the classroom." ”
"Does it sound good?"
"The girl's screams were too loud for me to hear."
"Uh......" Chu Nantang said with a smile: "Madam is jealous?" ”
"What kind of jealousy do I eat?" I pretended to be serious about eating.
"Next time, I'll pull it to you alone, you can listen to whatever you want." As he spoke, he clasped my hand: "I just hope that you can be in my sight, and if you don't like it, I can quit this job as a music teacher." ”
I pursed my lips and laughed: "I've said it all, it's not that small, in fact, I can see you in school, and I'm very happy." ”
"It would be nice if I could bring Xiaofan."
I blinked, "You're your home, school?" ”
He scooped me up with a bowl of soup and said, "Professor Zhang from your Department of Archaeology, I plan to find a time to have a good chat with him." ”
"Him?" Thinking of Professor Zhang's playing card face, he couldn't help but shudder: "It is said that he is a difficult person, are you sure?" ”
Chu Nantang nodded: "Sure, I have investigated this person, not only has ideas, but also practical experience, he has followed the national archaeological team to many places, and most importantly, he has written a research academic paper on the ancient country of the Western Regions." I've lived there for a while, so it's perfect to find him to join. ”
"When are you going to talk to him?"
"Tomorrow night, I'm going to ask him out for a good talk. Go back tonight and put together some important information, and if you want him to join, you have to get him interested in it. ”
I nodded thoughtfully, "It's been almost three months, and I haven't been to your research base yet." ”
He smiled: "Wait for Professor Zhang to join, and I will take you over." ”
Suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand with a heavy heart: "Nantang, can you take me with you?" I can't help much, but ...... I can't let go of you. ”
Chu Nantang didn't answer, but said, "Drink this bowl of soup, we'll talk about these things later." ”
"Hmm."
When he went back that night, Chu Nantang was busy until midnight in order to sort out the information.
I got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast with Aunt Shu.
Bai Yiqing said: "Grandpa Zu, you send Lingsheng to school every day, and give me a ride." ”
Chu Nantang glanced at him with disgust: "You are the same as Lingsheng Neng?" He is my wife, and you are my grandson. ”
"Poof!" I squirted out a mouthful of soy milk, and Chu Nantang followed my back: "The soy milk is hot, drink it slowly, the time will not be late." ”
Bai Yiqing's teeth grinded: "It's a crime for you guys to do this, okay?" Abuse single dogs every day! Doesn't conscience hurt? ”
Chu Nantang asked calmly: "Why does my conscience hurt?" ”
Bai Yiqing pursed her lips and took the backpack angrily: "I'm running away from home, I'll leave tonight!" I will no longer be stimulated by you. ”
"Little White ......" I still want to say something, his figure has disappeared at the door.
Chu Nantang drank the soy milk slowly and reasonably, and said: "Now young people, they just can't hold their breath." ”
I couldn't help but say a fair word for Xiaobai: "You are usually really harsh on him." ”
He paused, probably after a moment of reflection, before saying, "What Madame said is that I will be less harsh on him in the future." ”
