I was a little shocked by this vulgarity, but I still picked the key point at the moment and asked, "Since you are already the object of worship, why don't they wait until three days to burn you to death, but use this roundabout way......

Perhaps he had thought through the whole thing just now, and in the face of my question, Jiu'er quickly gave an explanation: "This is because my parents, in the last festival, it was a cousin of mine who was burned to death, and my parents strongly opposed it at that time, thinking that this kind of festival should be canceled, and now it is my turn, I am afraid that they will fall out of the whole festival at that time, and the people here should have guessed this situation, how could they allow it to happen." ”

After listening to Jiu'er's words, Qingyunzi and I both understood, according to what Jiu'er said, there should be people who were afraid that the festival would be ruined, so after the adults went out to work, they waited for the opportunity to attack Jiu'er, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the festival.

I turned my head and asked Qingyunzi, "Dao Chief, can you use the bronze mirror to see the situation at that time?"

Qing Yunzi glanced at me angrily, as if scolding me for ignorance: "My psychic mirror can only be used to detect ghosts, it is useless to ordinary people, the reason why I was able to see this girl just now is because she is possessed by evil spirits, if she is okay at the time, we can't see her through the mirror." ”

"Hey, that's a problem. I shook my head in frustration.

Jiu'er's whole face was originally expectant, but after hearing Qingyunzi's words, her face also became a little dark. In fact, I wanted to help Jiu'er get through this difficulty, but thinking of the purpose of this visit, after some weighing, I still plan to ignore it, come here tonight to rescue her for free, we have already done our best, as for the rest of the matter, we can only leave it to her to deal with it herself.

"Let's go, it's not too early. Qingyunzi stared at the night and spoke.

Hearing this, Jiu'er and I nodded, silently followed behind Qingyunzi, and returned to the same way. Qingyunzi performed the Dao method, flying forward in the air, Jiu'er and I could only follow closely behind, it was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet, thinking that Jiu'er was successfully rescued by us, I was slightly relieved.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard Jiu'er, who had been walking side by side with me, whisper to me, "Thank you." Her voice was clean, but it sounded cold, and I turned my head to look at her, her face was a little blurry in the dark, but her big jewel-like eyes were radiating a soft and friendly light.

"You're welcome, the festival is ......," I paused at this point, "I hope you can survive it safely." ”

"Thank you. She nodded, and we were speechless.

When we returned to the house, it was already late, and Zhao Bing and his wife were very happy and excited to see their lost daughter, and soon, they made a table of good dishes to entertain us, and after we were full of wine and food, we went back to the room to rest.

I was sleepy after lying in bed for a while due to exhaustion, but just as I was about to close my eyes, there was a knock on the door of the room I was in.

But the strange thing is that everyone is asleep at this time, and I really can't think of who it will be.

When I came to the door, I didn't open it rashly, but asked warily, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Jiu'er. Outside the door, a clean and cold voice came from the door.

It turned out to be Jiu'er, I hurriedly opened the door and looked at her with some doubts. Jiu'er should have washed up, had changed her original clothes, and stood in front of me in a homely casual suit, a faint fragrance emanated from her, which smelled so good.

I looked at her fair face and asked straight to the point, "It's so late, Jiu'er, is there anything you are looking for me?"

Jiu'er looked a little uneasy, she lowered her head slightly, avoiding my gaze: "Hmm...... There's something, that, can I come in and talk to you for a while?"

"Of course, please come in. I opened all the doors and turned sideways to let her in, but I was very confused.

Jiu'er walked over to a chair and sat down, and when I closed the door and turned around, I found that she was looking at me with a complicated expression, and when I met her gaze, she immediately turned her head.

What is wrong with her? Although I was puzzled, I didn't show it directly, didn't she come to me to tell me the secret in her heart?

I took out two cans of drinks from the backpack I brought, pulled open the tab, and handed one of the cans to Jiu'er: "Drink a bottle, right?"

"Thank you. Jiu'er took a sip after taking it, her face was still a little unnatural, "I think you must be very confused that it's so late, I'm still bothering you, right?"

"yes, I really don't understand. "I'll admit it frankly.

Jiu'er held the drink can in both hands, lowered her head and fell into deep thought, as if she was thinking about how to tell me about the incident in her heart, and after a while, she looked up at me and asked: "I know that your name is Tu Feng, you are a ghost doctor, you have experienced many scenes of life and death, and you have a deeper understanding of life and death than ordinary people, so what do you think is the meaning of life?"

I didn't expect Jiu'er to ask this kind of question at all, and I was speechless when I was asked for a while, and the meaning of life ...... I don't think I've ever thought about this seemingly simple but profound question.

For a while, I was a little sudden, those times with the master flashed through my mind one by one, when I used to heal others with the master, when I met the eyes of those who were hovering on the edge of life and death, the brilliance in them could always be unforgettable.

I thought about it for a long time before I replied to Jiu'er's words: "Protect the people around you and feel the beauty of the world, maybe this is the meaning of life." ”

My answer seemed to make Jiu'er feel a little empathetic, she looked at me with a smile, and her face softened: "Actually, I think the same as you, I don't want my relatives to suffer because of my loss, I want to be by their side forever, as long as I can take care of them as soon as they are sick, and bring them warmth when they feel lonely, this is enough." ”

I didn't understand what Jiu'er meant by saying these words to me, but she was sincere, so I had to follow her words and ask, "Can't you do this now?"

"It's not. But soon it won't be possible. ”

"Why?"

"Because the festival is about to take place, and then I will be burned to death by the fire, and I will be a tribute to the gods, and I will leave them forever......"

Jiu'er said, suddenly choked up, a pair of big eyes like jewels filled with a layer of mist, looking very helpless and desperate.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" I felt as if something was grabbing my heart, and I almost subconsciously said it.
