Chapter Twenty-Five: Nightmares Are Not Dreams
Lingqian'er took out a small mirror, and in the mirror, her face was covered with mud stains, and her hair was messy.
"Every time I come to the world, it's like this. Ling Qian'er sighed.
She turned into a daffodil, took a shower, changed into clean clothes and walked out.
It was already completely dark, and the small table was full of people, and it looked crowded. There was a pillar beside the table, and a broken lantern hung from it, as if a breeze could blow it away.
Ling Qian'er's right leg did not heal, and she walked with a limp, so Si Yao hurriedly ran over to help her.
Bai Xu smiled: "Girl, it's really clean and good-looking." ”
Ling Qian'er replied: "I was originally like this, but I was seen by you when I was the most depressed, why, do you think I am a beggar?"
Seeing her arrogant appearance, Jing Yun directly gave her a roll of the eyes.
Bai Xu smiled slightly: "Liu'er is hungry, eat quickly." ”
Ling Qian'er didn't see the fat old man, so she asked Si Yao: "Where is the old man who checked my pulse?"
Si Yao said: "That's my master, known as Liu Banxian, and the master has returned to Suyong Pavilion." In the past few days, the master has come to check your pulse every day, write down the prescription and leave, but today I calculated that the girl will wake up, so I stayed here and didn't leave. ”
"This girl talks a lot. Lingqian'er said in her heart.
She silently picked up chopsticks and only picked sweet and sour dishes to eat.
In fact, she always had a question in her heart, since the old man was one of the three retained yang, then he probably knew that she was a demon for a long time.
"Could it be that this old man didn't say anything to them?" Ling Qian'er said in her heart.
Wanyue suddenly laughed.
Lingqian looked up at him.
"Look at your graceful and decent behavior, you don't look like a child without a home. ”
"There used to be, but now it's gone. ”
"Met a robber?"
"Probably. ”
"So, it's the same gang as the person who hurt you?"
Ling Qian'er replied to him sincerely: "I really don't know, I want to find out what the hell is going on more than anyone else." ”
Bai Xu patted Wanyue's arm, and Wanyue didn't ask.
Si Yao saw that she liked to eat sweet, so she brought the sweet and sour fish to her, and Ling Qian'er accidentally touched her hand when she took it, and suddenly found that it was very cold.
Lingqian'er tilted her head to look at her.
Si Yao whispered, "I...... I'm a ghost, don't be afraid, girl, I won't hurt anyone. ”
Ling Qian'er said: "The human heart is more terrible than a ghost, but the Three Realms have always been non-interfering with each other, you can worship a Taoist priest as a teacher, or a Taoist priest of Suyong Pavilion, it's really not simple." ”
Si Yao showed the pain and disappointment on the child's face, and said in a dumb voice: "I met the master in a deep mountain, I was already a wandering soul at that time, and we found a Ganoderma lucidum at the same time, and the master saw that I was proficient in pharmacology, so he asked me about my life experience, and he took pity on me, and took me back to Suyong Pavilion despite everyone's criticism." ”
Ling Qian'er swallowed the fish in her mouth and asked her, "Why are you pitiful?
Si Yao took a deep breath and forced herself to continue: "I killed my aunt and brother, and then my father beat me to death. ”
Ling Qian'er was stunned, what kind of grudge is this? I can't wait to slap myself in the face, and ask others what they did in the past?
Si Yao seemed to stop talking, Ling Qian'er put down her chopsticks and took out a jar of wine from the treasure bag.
There are a lot of things that are difficult to say, just say one sentence first, and then it will be much easier.
Ling Qian'er poured Si Yao a glass of wine and asked, "Why did you kill them?"
Si Yao raised her head and drank it all: "My father is a famous doctor in the city, he has superb medical skills and the ability to bring the dead back to life. My mother was his wife, but unfortunately only gave birth to one daughter, and my father always wanted a son to inherit his medical skills, so he took a concubine. After my mother gave birth to me, my health became worse and worse, and the family affairs were gradually handed over to my aunt to manage, and after my aunt gave birth to a son, my father cared less and less about my mother, and our mother and mother were slowly neglected at home. Later, my aunt was even more rampant, secretly deducting my mother's medicine, wishing that my mother would die early, she was so high, there was no way, I could only go to the store to catch medicine for my mother, but I was caught by my aunt, she said that I stole the family's medicine and went out to sell it for money, and my father didn't listen to my explanation, so he beat me half to death. ”
Everyone listened to her quietly, and no one interjected.
Twilight only felt that Si Yao was usually very arrogant, heartless, and she couldn't imagine that she had such a sad past.
Si Yao kept staring at the wine glass, and Ling Qian'er filled it for her again.
Si Yao's eyes were slightly red and said: "In order for my mother to survive, I had to go up the mountain to collect medicine when the sky was just dawning, and come back to boil and drink for my mother." Later, even the servants at home saw the wind and steered, ignored us, and gave us food with scraps of cold rice, and in winter, even charcoal fire, I went up the mountain alone to chop wood, and when the snow closed the mountain, our mother and wife hugged each other to keep warm. As the case went on, my mother's illness became worse and worse year by year. When my brother was ten years old, he was seriously ill, and my aunt invited a Taoist priest from nowhere, and the Taoist priest said that my mother was ominous, and I was holding my brother, and my father listened to the slander and wanted to drive my mother out. I desperately stopped, he was about to kick me out, and after some commotion, my mother died that night. ”
Si Yao's body trembled slightly, she held the wine jar in both hands, and poured several sips.
The aunt said that ominous people are not worthy of entering the ancestral grave, so she hurriedly buried her mother with a mat. After burning paper for my mother, I rushed into my brother's room with a knife, killed him first, and then killed my aunt, my father scolded me and beat me like crazy, I don't know how long I was beaten, and he found out that I was dead. I didn't want to be reincarnated as a human being, so I wandered in the mountains until I met Master...... I know I shouldn't have killed my brother, he was innocent. ”
Ling Qian'er sneered: "Hmph, you didn't kill your beast father and the servant together." ”
Si Yao looked at Ling Qian'er in a daze.
Ling Qian'er said: "Your bastard father, regardless of the life and death of his wife, likes the new and hates the old and prefers sons over daughters, shouldn't he be killed? The domestic servant doesn't remember the grace of the former heroine, tends to be inflammatory, and treats the old master harshly, shouldn't he be killed? As for the little concubine, it's too cheap to kill her with a knife, your brother's death is also the evil fruit planted by her mother, and it has nothing to do with you, you and your mother are the most innocent." ”
Wanyue sneered, Ling Qian'er's thoughts really coincided with him.
Si Yao listened to Ling Qian'er's words, and the injuries given by her father and aunt in the past were like a river that burst its embankment, pouring into her whole body.
It's so unbearable, so painful.
Si Yao said in her heart: "Yes, poor self, poor mother, what kind of life are we two living?
"Thank you, girl. Si Yao said with tears in her eyes.
Lingqian shrugged, got up and went back to sleep.
For several days, Liu Banxian left in a hurry after coming to check Ling Qian'er's pulse in the morning, and did not give her a chance to ask questions.
On this day, he didn't rush to leave after checking his pulse, and said with a smile: "You are recovering well, dare to ask the girl, what kind of panacea did you use? The external injury healed so quickly." ”
Lingqian ignored him.
Jing Yun frowned and said, "Liu Banxian's medical skills are superb and he has saved countless people, he is a respected immortal, how can you be so lazy?"
Ling Qian'er said: "Did I ask him to save me? ”
Jing Yun was furious, and dumped her before going out: "Bai Xu is not my master." ”
There were only the two of them left in the room, and Ling Qian'er asked, "Since you are an immortal, why do they call you a half-immortal?"
Liu Banxian said: "Immortals are in the mortal world, so they are naturally half-immortals." ”
Ling Qian'er said: "What kind of fallacy is this, let's get down to business, do you know I'm a demon?"
Liu Banxian blinked and didn't reply to her.
Ling Qian'er said again: "Am I a half-demon?"
Liu Banxian still didn't reply to her.
Yes, not talking is the best answer.
Ling Qian'er put her hands on her forehead and said in her heart: "I turned out to be a half-demon, an ominous half-demon!"
After a moment of silence, she looked up and asked, "Since I'm recovering well, I'm not going to die now, right?"
Bai Xu walked in from the door and asked her, "Where are you going?"
Ling Qian'er said: "The old man said that I am recovering well. ”
Liu Banxian said: "The external injury is indeed healing quite quickly, but the poison in your body ......"
Ling Qian'er said: "You won't bother with this." ”
Liu Banxian said: "This poison has been there since you were born, right?"
Ling Qian'er said in her heart: "This half-immortal really has some real skills. ”
Liu Banxian stroked his white beard and said: "I have encountered a lot of strange poisons in my life, like this in your body, I have never seen it, it is a little interesting." ”
Ling Qian'er gestured with both hands to make a stop movement: "Stop." ”
Liu Banxian said: "Girl, if no one suppresses this poison, I am afraid that you will die soon, you are still so young, you can't give up on yourself." ”
Ling Qian'er buried her face in her knees, and sighed in her heart: "Who said that death must be a bad thing, for me, death is liberation, a bowl of Meng Po soup is the beginning of another life." ”
"Liu'er. Bai Xu patted Ling Qian'er on the shoulder.
Ling Qian'er slowly raised her head, Liu Banxian was no longer in the house.
Bai Xu said: "Come, I'll change the medicine for your wrist." ”
Bai Xu gently untied the bandage on her left wrist and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Lingqian'er shook her head.
When the last layer was lifted, two wounds were revealed, and after so many days, the wounds still did not heal, and some red powder was sticking to the edges, shiny.
Bai Xu said: "The external injuries on your body are almost healed, but this wound is still bleeding out, this is the medicine that Liu Banxian took, I hope it will be useful." ”
Bai Xu was about to take the medicine when Ling Qian'er suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Bai Xu raised his eyes and saw that Lingqian'er in front of him was already in tears.
When she saw the wound, she knew in her heart that none of this was a dream.
This is a scar from the Red Shadow Demon Knife, and the wound will gradually deepen and fester, and it will not heal at all.
The senior brothers were afraid that they would be more than lucky, and the screams kept ringing in her ears......
Ling Qian'er viciously shouted a name in her heart: Lu Yong!
The anger burned her throat and her chest burned, and even the tears that flowed from her eyes were hot.
What about Master? What about Xiaoduo? Was it also tragically murdered?
"Liu'er, what's wrong with you?" Bai Xu asked.
Ling Qian'er persuaded herself to calm down, and she couldn't be angry or frightened......
To seek the truth and take revenge, you must first live.
