After leaving the capital, I hurried all the way to Jiangnan.

Every time I get close to Jiangnan Road, my heart will be extremely excited.

The queen mother's affairs have been completed, and Brother Yan and Yi'er have also married and have their own children. One ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the other was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was extremely respected. I don't have any concerns about the capital. I can finally go to all the places I ever wanted to go with my warmth and children.

I fantasize that a family of three has footprints all over the world. Fantasizing about the beautiful days when I practice swordsmanship.

But when I returned to the Jiangnan Courtyard, in the courtyard, except for Wen'er, I couldn't find the cold and warm figures.

- Wait for me.

She left a letter.

I looked at the letter written in her blood, and I felt uneasy.

Ah Nuan, when I left, you clearly told me that you would wait for me to come back in the other courtyard. But why, when I came back, it became me waiting for you?

What exactly happened in the days when I was away!

When I saw the blood book, I once wanted to go out to find warmth. But Leng Nuan obviously guessed my mind a long time ago, so he specially left Wen'er behind.

When I came back, I was lying on the couch and sleeping very soundly. I think it was a spell cast by cold and warm, so I was not thirsty or hungry for many days.

When I touched the letter, Wen'er woke up. However, he didn't know anything about my problems.

- Where did your mother go?

- Daddy, the child doesn't know.

- What did your mother tell you before you fell asleep?

- Daddy, the child doesn't remember.

- After my father left, what was wrong with my mother?

- No! It's just that I miss my father very much, and there's nothing out of the ordinary.

……

I can't take Wen'er to look for her, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to find me when she comes back suddenly. So, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait for her in the other courtyard.

Then one day, I began to notice the changes in the courtyard.

For example, the game of Go played with Wen'er the night before will become an endgame the next day.

For example, the scraps of food that have not had time to be cleaned will become clean in the blink of an eye.

For example, the withered flowers and plants in the yard are gradually coming to life.

Strange little things happened one after another, but Wen'er and I were never in any danger. It's clear that there are only two people living in the other courtyard, but it looks like someone has been here.

At first, I thought it was Leng Nuan joking with our father and son.

So, I didn't sleep at night and talked to the air for a long time.

Later, one night, I was awakened by movement outside the courtyard.

Following the sound, Leng Nuan, who was seriously injured, was lying on the ground unable to move.

I was shocked and quickly helped her back into the house. wanted to find an ointment to stop the bleeding for her, but she grabbed the "husband...... Don't leave. ”

"Ah Nuan, I'll go find medicine for you!" I would love to ask her what really happened. But I know now is not the time.

"Husband...... I...... I'm dying. ”

"Nonsense! Nuan, let's stop the bleeding first! As long as the bleeding stops, you'll be well soon......"

"I'm a demon ...... My own body...... I know......" Leng Nuan shook his head at me and said, "Husband...... Don't look for medicine...... I...... I'm running out of time...... Hold me...... Can you hold me......"

"A Nuan...... "I know that Leng Nuan has her own reasons when she says this." So, I gave up the idea of looking for medicine for the time being, climbed on the couch and hugged her.

"Husband...... Listen to me...... "After I hold Leng Nuan, Leng Nuan will give me a detailed explanation" because I am a demon, but I am united with you. So...... So when I died...... Half of the demonic energy will invade you...... in your body. Don't be afraid, though.

This half of the demonic qi will not harm you, and it will not harm others. Instead...... It will be of great help to you in teaching Wen'er in the future...... Wen'er has ...... in her body Half of my blood. When he grows up, there will be times when it will be difficult to control.

You...... Do you remember...... When he has a demonic seizure...... Use the demonic energy in your body...... to suppress him. I was ...... from when he was very young I kept transmitting to him the ...... that could not harm others thoughts. So...... So he is kind by nature...... You ...... to him Want...... Be patient. ”

"Nuan, don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine!" I became more and more reluctant to hear Leng Nuan explain what happened, so I hugged her very tightly, "With me here, I won't let you have an accident, Ah Nuan!" A warm! ”

"Husband...... I...... I'm a ...... After I die...... It's soulless. So...... Do you remember...... Remember to bury Xiaoqing's body properly. We...... We took possession of people's ...... So...... A shell for so long...... Treat her well......

I'm Xiaoqing...... It's me! If you and your children miss me...... Only...... Just go to Xiaoqing's grave to have a look...... Only...... It's just fine......"

"No!" I couldn't accept the words that Leng Nuan had to say, "Ah Nuan, you said that you lived longer than me. You said you would be with me and the child for the rest of your life! Now, how can you break your word?

Didn't you say that you like Gangnam and this courtyard? If you leave, will you leave me and my children here alone? Nuan, I won't allow you to leave me! A warm! ”

"Silly man...... How can you be alone here with your children? Leng Nuan raised his hand with all his strength and stroked my cheek, "In this courtyard...... There is also the father and the queen mother. ”

Just when I thought that Leng Nuan wanted to comfort me with the memories of my father and mother, Leng Nuan spoke again, "Husband...... I've done my best for you. Do you know? Father's ...... Over the years...... The scattered soul of the father...... ...... by me I'm so well protected.

Right now...... The queen mother has relied on ...... Rely on your own obsession to find ...... I found my father. They've been reunited...... Only...... It's in this courtyard...... It's just that...... You can't see them.

But...... But they can see you! So...... So you have to live happily...... You know? ”

"Nuan, what are you talking about?"

"Husband...... I...... I left you a letter. Only...... It's on the beams. I'm going to go later...... You...... Look again. After reading it...... You're ...... Just ......"

Speaking of which, the cold and warm are already empty.

Her hand caressing my cheek slowly drooped, and she gasped for several breaths before she spoke to me again, "Husband...... Husband...... Take care...... Take care of our ...... ...... child"

"Ah Nuan...... A warm ......"

In the summer in Jiangnan, heavy rains always come suddenly.

And the cold and warmth, in the night when the rain was pouring, left me forever.

I couldn't accept the sudden passing of warmth and coldness, and my hair turned gray overnight. The whole person, as if he had lost his soul, locked himself and Leng Nuan in the room for three days and three nights.

When I came to my senses, I was in the world.

The most surprising thing is that Wen'er, who knows nothing about housework, has taken excellent care of herself in these three days.

I personally dug up the grave and buried Xiaoqing.

When the monument was erected, it was written: The tomb of the beloved wife.

I know that the cold and warm are completely gone. What remains here is just a stranger's shell. But for me, she is cold and warm, my wife.

After I had everything in order, I went back and looked for Wen'er. Ask him how he has taken such good care of himself these days.

However, he said, "Daddy, isn't it the food you prepared for the child?" ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly remembered the changes in the courtyard during this time, and the words that Leng Nuan left before leaving. So, I gradually realized that something was wrong.

- The father and the queen mother have been gathered, and they are in this courtyard. It's just that you can't see them. They can see you, though.

Thinking of this, I immediately went back to the house and found the letters left by the cold and warm on the beams.

When I finished the book page after page, I realized how much I had paid because of my words.

I said that my father and mother had never been able to be together well in their lives. If you can, I hope that I can do some strange tricks so that they can meet again.

So, Leng Nuan used the spells he learned in the demon world to go around looking for the soul scattered by his father. Then, secretly protect them.

She said she didn't know if this would allow her father and mother to reunite. But she knows that the queen mother is a very obsessed person! All she could do was to protect her father's scattered soul, and then wait slowly.

It's just that these protections are against the sky after all. If the queen mother is dying, she has no idea of looking for her father under the nine springs, and the cold and warm can be safe. It's a big deal, guarding the soul of my father for the rest of my life.

However, once the queen mother moved this idea, she successfully found her father. Then all the retribution against the sky will fall on Leng and Nuan.

She is a demon, and her father and mother are ghosts! It has been the rule of the two worlds not to interfere with each other for thousands of years. Therefore, as long as Leng Nuan begins to interfere in the affairs between her father and the queen mother, then she will change her calamity.

And this calamity is nothing more than changing from life to death.

She said that over the years, her father and emperor have become lonely ghosts because of their souls. Therefore, I have been bullied all the time. If she hadn't used her mana to protect her father, her father wouldn't have been able to wait for her mother.

Regardless of the outcome, she said, at least she did what she wanted to do and should do. She was worthy of me and did not fail me.

She said she never regretted it.

She said she loved me.

By the way, she told me a lot of things I never knew.

- Husband, I was the youngest daughter of a general in the Demon Realm, and I also enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Demon Realm. But one year later, because of the chaos in the demon world, something happened to my father. I, the general's daughter, became a prisoner.

My face has become uglier and uglier since then. Everyone dislikes me and is afraid of me, but you are the only one who will ask me if it hurts. Do you know? At that time, I couldn't believe that there were men in this world who were not afraid of me.

- Husband, my family's experience is very similar to that of the queen mother. So when you talk to me about the queen mother, I always feel that I can empathize with the queen mother. So...... If I hide it from you and am sorry for you, don't blame me.

- Husband, when you first saw me, you said that I was only seven or eight years old. But you don't know, I'm hundreds of years old. I never tell you, I'm just afraid that you will dislike me for being old. After all...... It's really embarrassing for a hundred-year-old demon to marry a teenage man.

- Husband, you always told me not to hurt the islanders on the island. Tell me all the time not to hurt anyone. But you don't know, I've never hurt anyone who shouldn't have hurt anyone.

I confess that some of the men around Wuhai did die as a result of my blood. But those people, after seeing my appearance, coveted my beauty/sex, and wanted to do something to me before they were killed by me.

As for women, that's none of my business. After all...... I'm not the only demon under the sea. There are a lot of demons whose mana is higher than mine. So...... You know why I was so worried about you coming out at night, right?

- Husband, if I die one day, don't take Wen'er back to Wuhai. If you want him to be kind and harmless all his life, you must not let him be contaminated with Wuhai's anger.

- Husband, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely come to you again.

……

I read the letters left by Leng Nuan over and over again, and cried like a tearful person.

It turned out that she took the initiative to ask to stay in the capital and take the initiative to go to Jiangnan in order to find the soul of her father.

It turned out that every time she went out at night and came back, she was always very weak, because she was fighting against those little ghosts who bullied her father's soul.

It turned out that she refused to have children at first because she was afraid that she would lose the mana in her body!

It turns out that the changes in the courtyard these days are not cold and warm at all joking with me. The endgame of Go, the clean yard, the flowers and plants that came back from the dead, all these are all due to the father and the queen mother......

Over the years, her body has become weaker and weaker, and it is not because she has left Wuhai at all. Rather, to fulfill one of my wishes.

She pays attention to the affairs of the capital all the time, and every time her mother is sick, she will be extremely nervous. is because once the queen mother dies, she may also go with her.

She refused to go to the capital with me, except for the fear that I would not be able to come back. More because she knew that her retribution was coming......

A Nuan ...... My silly Nuan......

How can you secretly pay so much for my words!

How can you leave Wen'er to me, a father who doesn't know anything, to take care of, how can you be so relieved of me!

I curled myself up in a corner, my mind mixed with mixed feelings.

That feeling of not being able to accept a cold and warm death, but not being able to blame my father and mother, really tortured me crazy.

I can only blame myself, blame myself for being incompetent!

If I hadn't said those words, maybe cold and warm wouldn't have left me, wouldn't they?

……

Summer went to autumn and winter came again, and I gradually came out of my sinking.

I never left the other courtyard in Jiangnan again for the rest of my life, because there were my parents and my children.

Wen'er lost her mother at an early age, and she is well-behaved and sensible. The demonic nature in my body occasionally flares up, but I can always suppress it.

As for the father and the queen mother...... Although I couldn't see them, the warm quilts that were inexplicably covered at night, the big quilts that flew to my body for no reason while reading books, and the Laba porridge that appeared every year during the Laba Festival, never frightened me.

I know that even though I am getting older, I will still be a child after all.

Yes, I need them to help cover the warm quilt at night, and I need them to clothe me when it's cold...... Child.
