Chapter 54: Recovering Memory
Ling Nai didn't know how to be good-looking, she always thought that she was the most ordinary little monster, and when she heard the girl praise herself, she blushed and shook her head.
He relied on his memory to find the villagers who were looking for him, and from a distance, countless fires moved in the night. It wasn't the first time Ling Nai had seen him, but the closest he had ever been.
Worried that there were little demons on the left and right to scare the girl, Ling Nai walked forward for more than ten steps before putting the girl down the hillside: "Those people are here to find you, you go over." ”
"What about you?" The girl asked him back.
"This is my home." Ling Nai thought for a moment and said.
"Can we ever see each other again?"
"I don't know."
"Embroidered paulownia, embroidered paulownia!" The villagers who were looking for them were approaching this direction, and the shouts were endless.
Ling Nai subconsciously wanted to leave, but the girl grabbed his sleeve and smiled: "Thank you, my name is Nan Xiutong, what is your name?" ”
"Ling, Lingnai." After he finished speaking awkwardly, he glanced at the approaching torches, and did not care much, turned into a rabbit and jumped away.
The villagers ran to the girl's side and were relieved to see the girl with a smile on her face.
"It's been a whole day, your father is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and you can still laugh!"
After that, her father didn't dare to take Nan Xiutong to hunt anymore, but she wanted to see Ling Nai, so she secretly ran over and found a place to write Ling Nai's name and put fresh radishes there.
The little monster in the forest saw it and told Ling Nai, who knew that she would come over every day.
Humans and demons are different, he wants her to forget about him, but she is very stubborn, as long as there is no thunder and rain, she will go into the mountains, even if she is reprimanded by her father, she will not give up.
He had no choice but to appear in front of her and persuade her not to come again.
She said: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, you saved my life, and I will give you food, which is justified." Are turnips sweet? ”
The words he wanted to say before were blocked, Ling Nai swallowed his saliva and replied, "Sweet." "Sweeter than the grass in the mountains.
"Do you have anything else you'd like to eat? I have a lot of dishes in my house. She opened her hands and gestured, looking innocent and cute.
Ling Nai wanted to speak again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What else is there?" ”
After coming to the mortal world for hundreds of years, Ling Nai was never curious about everything in the outside world, he thought that those had nothing to do with him, but Nan Xiutong aroused his yearning for the mortal town little by little, and the mortal world in her mouth was completely different from what she saw and heard in the mountains and forests.
She would tell him stories about the village, the troubles of her companions, bring all kinds of sweet fruits and vegetables, and pull him to the city to buy food.
In this way, they spent year after year, Nan Xiutong grew from a little girl to a young girl, and Ling Nai was still the young man with starry eyes.
He doesn't talk much, he always listens to her silently and supports everything she does.
She wants to catch fast, to protect good people, but also to protect the kind little monsters, she believes that people have good and evil demons and good and evil, she hopes that all good people can live in peace, and hopes that the little monsters hiding in the mountains will one day be able to play in the mortal light market.
At that time, Ling Nai suddenly discovered that Nan Xiutong was shining in his eyes, and the appearance of his little sister was replaced by the appearance of a girl in his mind, frozen in the sun of that day.
Later, in order to be a fast catcher, Nanxiutong went to the yamen to find an old catcher to apprentice, and rarely came to the mountains.
Ling Nai found that Nan Xiutong didn't come for a few days before, and he lived his life as usual, but now he hasn't seen her for a few days, as if the three autumns have passed, and he can't sit still every day, and he wants to know her current situation.
With the encouragement of his companions in the mountains, he spent a few months building a bamboo house on the outskirts of the city, planting a lot of flowers and plants, and wanted to surprise Nan Xiutong, but unexpectedly learned that when she caught the thieves with the old catcher, the old catcher died to save her, and she was depressed all day.
It was also from that time that Nan Xiutong changed, became calm, became more serious, and at the age of eighteen, she became the only female catcher in the Yamen, which was obtained by the old catcher for her, and she cherished it immensely.
Every time she encountered a setback, she would go to Ling Nai to help him water the flowers and weed, and then they would lie in the yard in the sun tacitly, sometimes without saying a word, it could also make her feel at ease.
Later, Nan Xiutong accidentally provoked those few splashes, and she couldn't do anything about it, so she came to Ling Nai's trouble, Ling Nai didn't want to solve it, but she didn't want to make trouble for her, to put it shamelessly, he enjoyed Nan Xiutong protecting him.
"She once asked me, in a few decades, will we still be friends? I know that she is afraid that when she gets old, I will not be able to be by her side as Ling Nai, because I will not be old, and I will always be like this. I said, of course. Time won't change me in any way, my face won't, and my heart won't. From the day I left the mountains, I promised God that I would protect her for the rest of her life. When Ling Nai said this, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he saw Nan Xiutong walking towards him in the wind.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Wu County is really a good place." ”
"What if...... It would be nice if there was no past life. Ling Nai's expression instantly dimmed.
Can reincarnation erase a person's cause and effect?
If it can be erased, then where does karma come from? If not, then is it fair for a reincarnated life to bear the grudges of a previous life without memory?
Su Jingtang thought silently, but couldn't get a definite answer, she had never thought about these things when she wanted to seek revenge from the beginning.
"Su Jingtang, after listening to what he said, did you see anything?" Wen Xun put his hand on Su Jingtang's shoulder, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "When Yuyan lied at the beginning, you saw a different story, what about this time?" ”
"Just because he didn't see anything means he wasn't lying, right?" Su Jingtang was a little distressed.
She thought for a moment and asked Ling Nai, "Did you bring anything out of Yushan?" ”
"The ...... brought out from Yushan" Ling Nai thought for a moment and took off a pendant from his waist, "Does this stone count?" I looked good, picked up a lot, and gave them away, only this one. ”
She took the pendant: "Do you want to know your past life?" ”
"......" He didn't really want to know.
"You ask me, I'll tell you." Su Jingtang held the pendant.
Ling Nai hesitated, extremely entangled. Wen Xunke didn't have the patience to wait for him, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up and ask." ”
"Do you know my past life?" Ling Nai asked cautiously.
Su Jingtang closed his eyes and seriously thought about Ling Nai's question, but all he saw was a rabbit jumping around foraging for food. She opened her eyes, and Ling Nai asked nervously, "What's the calculation?" ”
"Nothing." She returned the pendant to Ling Nai, and Ling Nai breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not the one you're looking for, am I?" Ling Nai asked.
"I just can't see your predecessor, I'll think of something else. Don't worry, when Nan Xiutong is alive, I won't touch you, and you will try to recover your memory. ”
Recover, what kind of memory is restored, is he inferior or not! Ling Nai wanted to cry without tears.
*
Su Jingtang and Wen Xun walked not far along the path when they saw a woman reprimanding three men.
The man at the head was splashing, he covered his swollen face, listened to the training unconvinced, and the two followers were silent.
Nan Xiutong crossed his waist: "If you have the guts, you will come to me, what is it to bully Ling Nai, he is the person I cover, you should think clearly about what to do in the future." ”
Hearing the sound, Nan Xiutong glanced at Su Jingtang and Wen Xun, but didn't care.
"Miss Sue?" A shout made Nan Xiutong couldn't help but look at Su Jingtang again.
It's a lovely person.,Looks much more delicate than herself.,It should be a girl who needs protection.。
There are already people around her to protect her, what is the purpose of looking for Ling Nai, could it be that Ling Nai has also saved her before?
She looked younger than herself, if she had been saved by Ling Nai after her, Ling Nai would definitely tell her that if she had ...... before Ling Nai had been in Wu County before, and she was not from Wu County at all.
"Nan Zhutou, no matter how much you protect Ling Nai, you can't stop him from entering a big family, Miss Su looks like a woman than you, what do you ...... with" Splashy took the opportunity to step on Nan Xiutong, and he had to compete in front of her.
"Shut up!" Nan Xiutong stepped on the instep of the skin, and rolled in pain with his feet.
Su Jingtang bowed slightly at Nan Xiutong, did not say a word, and was very reserved. Nan Xiutong lost the heart of reprimanding him, and poked him with the handle of the knife, "Get out!" ”
"Wen Xun, that Nan Xiutong looks so handsome, she is the most handsome girl I have ever seen, and her skills should be very powerful, it turns out that Ling Nai likes such girls. You say, if he is a sniffer, then don't they like it in both lives? I must have been strong before I lost my memory. Su Jingtang smiled at Wen Xundao.
"Wen Xun, why don't you ignore people?" Su Jingtang tugged at Wen Xun's sleeve. Wen returned to his senses, "What? ”
"Why are you distracted?"
"I'm thinking about smelling people." Wen Xun couldn't understand why he was sure that Su Jingtang couldn't find a Wenren in the mortal world, why did he think that Ling Nai didn't think he was a Wenren at first sight, could it be that he knew the secret and his memory was awakening?
