I can keep you until five watches [unlimited] verse 197
"There's only one last thing left." Bian Yuchen stood up and pretended to be curious and looked around, "I heard Su Xunlan say that there are many pear blossoms planted in Mr. Xie's backyard, she was lucky enough to see them seven years ago, and she will never forget them, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see such beautiful scenery in the future?" β
Xie Yinxue's body suddenly paused when he heard this, the fingertips holding the teacup were slightly white, and after a moment, he raised his eyes, opened his lips and said indifferently: "The pear blossoms melt in winter and begin to bloom in spring, and now that the winter snow has just fallen, you want to come to see the pear blossoms, don't you think it's ridiculous?" β
"Out of the way." Bian Yuchen waved his hand and said with a smile, "The snow is full of branches, and it is like a pear blossom, it is all the same." β
Xie Yinxue looked at Bian Yuchen quietly: "It's different." β
"That's right." Liu Buhua also helped Xie Yinxue and said, "According to you, the road outside is full of trees that have lost their leaves and accumulated branches of snow. β
"Okay." It can be seen that the people in Mingyue Cliff are not very welcoming to him, and Bian Yuchen is not good at being cheeky and forced to stay, so he said goodbye to Xie Yinxue, "Then I hope that when the pear blossoms bloom next year, you and I can still meet in this feng shui treasure." β
Xie Yinxue pursed her lips and was silent, but did not answer.
After Bian Yuchen took a few steps, he turned around and asked him with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Xie, do you know what the relationship between Su Xunlan and my Bian family is?" β
"After she left you, she becameβ"
Bian Yuchen pointed his index finger downward, pointed to the floor tiles of Mingyue Cliff and said, "My 'life'." β
What is fate?
In Xie Yinxue's case, "life" is the fate that he and his master were born in the Shen family and could not escape until they died.
In Bian Yuchen, "life" is to get rid of the fixed number of early death, and to prolong his life without illness.
To put it more colloquially, Su Xunlan is the "pill" raised by the Bian family and can be used to renew Bian Yuchen's life at any time. It's just that probably the Bian family didn't expect that they would be bitten back by the pills one day after taking the pills for so many years.
Now, Bian Yuchen came to tell Xie Yinxue that his life-sustaining pill had come to Mingyue Cliff seven years ago.
When was it seven years ago?
It was when Xie Yinxue was sick and dying, and he was so sick that most of the important elders of the Shen family came to Mingyue Cliff, among them, there was his father Shen Huaishen, and Chen Yuqing's sister and brother who were still alive.
At that time, Xie Yinxue was still young, and thought that the elders were simply afraid of their death, so they came to his sickbed to see him and send him on his last journey.
It wasn't until Xie Yinxue didn't die and he was able to walk on the ground that he knew that it was true that the Shen family was afraid that he would die, but it was fake that they came to see him off for the last time, and the person they came to send was Chen Yuqing.
Before they came to visit them, they knelt down in front of Chen Yuqing and begged Chen Yuqing to be the life-sustaining pill for him.
Later, they stood in front of their beds, not looking at him who was about to recover from a serious illness, but at the unquenchable and vibrant hope of the entire Shen family.
After Bian Yuchen left, Xie Yinxue did not return to the house, still in the pavilion, sitting alone in the blood-colored sunset at dusk.
Like Bian Yuchen, who was curious just now, he raised his eyes and looked around at the place he was in over and over again, it was so quiet and lonely, Bian Yuchen said that it was a "feng shui treasure land", Xie Yinxue agreed very much, after all, all the people who died for the Shen family were buried here, but they could not necessarily be named "Shen" surname, and it was a good feng shui treasure land that was used as a grave.
Xie Yinxue closed her eyes and swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground with a wave of her sleeves.
The piercing sound of broken porcelain startled Liu Buhua, he had never seen Xie Yinxue so angry, so when he looked at the young man, he couldn't help but have a shocked emotion in his eyes: "...... Godfather? β
The young man lowered his head, and his back rose and fell violently due to rapid breathing: "Don't flower, you go to drive, I'm going to go out." β
"Oh, good."
Liu Buhua hurriedly went to overturn the car key.
When Xie Yinxue drove away from Mingyue Cliff and began to walk down the mountain, Liu Buhua asked in hindsight: "Godfather, it's getting dark, where are we going?" β
Xie Yinxue closed her eyes in the back seat and said in a dumb voice: "The old mansion of the Shen family." β
Liu Buhua opened the map on his phone: "...... Then I'll open a navigation. β
Liu Buhua has also been by Xie Yinxue's side for a few years, but he has never been to the Shen family's old mansion, and the people from the Shen family will not come to Mingyue Cliff to see him.
Even on holidays, Xie Yinxue often ignores the Shen family, and most of the time Liu Buhua answers the communication and conveys blessings.
Today's conversation between Bian Yuchen and Xie Yinxue Liu Buhua can be regarded as listening to the whole process, but I don't know which sentence made Xie Yinxue so out of shape, I think it should be before he came to Mingyue Cliff.
However, although they deliberately went out on the occasion, Liu Buhua installed a positioning system in all his cars, and there were people on the Shen family's side who were always watching, so when Xie Yinxue and Liu Buhua arrived at the Shen family's old house, after Shen Huaishen's death, Shen Qiujian, who took over his new head of the Shen family, was already guarding the door with the old housekeeper and all the family members who lived in the old house.
They swept out a clean space outside the gate of the old mansion and set up a temporary windshield and warm pavilion, in which there were all kinds of tables, chairs, hot tea and stoves, which were prepared for Xie Yinxue in advance.
It's just that Liu Buhua always feels a little strange when he looks at it - why bother to build a warm pavilion outside, can't you just invite Xie Yinxue into the house and sit? Could it be that they didn't plan to let Xie Yinxue enter the old mansion?
Confused, Liu Buhua heard Xie Yinxue say to him: "Don't Hua, don't get out of the car, just wait for me in the car." β
After speaking, Xie Yinxue pushed open the car door by herself.
Seeing this, the guards on both sides of the warm pavilion immediately lifted the wind curtain of the warm pavilion, and really planned to let Xie Yinxue sit in the warm pavilion.
"Uncle Seven, the snow is cold and windy, why are you here?"
Shen Qiujian was the first to step forward, he was holding a long plush cloak in his arms, and he wanted to put it on Xie Yinxue, the old housekeeper saw this scene, his eyebrows showed a little worry, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, and quickly swallowed it back.
Xie Yinxue pulled the corners of her lips, but her eyes were cold, and she raised her hand and refused: "No need, this bit of snow can't freeze me." β
He and Shen Qiujian entered the warm pavilion and sat down face to face.
Outside the pavilion, the snow that had stopped for a short time fell again after nightfall, and before long it spread a layer of white on the ground.
Xie Yinxue didn't drink tea or use the stove to warm her hands, her eyes crossed Shen Qiujian, stopped at the red cloth on the eaves of the Shen family's old mansion and the red lantern hanging at the gate and asked, "There is going to be a happy event in the old mansion?" β
"Yes, the daughter of the fourth uncle's family is going to get married, and she will marry directly from the old mansion when the time comes." After Shen Qiu answered briefly, he pointed to Xie Yinxue so that Xie Yinxue could identify it, "It's the girl in pink clothes at the door, her name is Shen Yuejuan, you should have seen it in the video during the Mid-Autumn Festival before." β
There were several rows of people standing at the door of the Shen family's old mansion drenched in the cold wind, but there was only one girl in pink clothes, Xie Yinxue glanced at it and nodded: "I've seen it, it's familiar." β
Shen Qiujian poured hot water for Xie Yinxue and said with a smile: "Uncle often told me when he was still there, saying that your seventh uncle has a good memory, and he can't forget anyone who has seen him." β
Xie Yinxue suddenly asked him, "Then do you have a good memory?" β
Shen Qiujian raised his head and replied carefully, "...... Okay, right? β
Xie Yinxue continued to ask, "Su Xunlan, do you remember this name?" β
Shen Qiujian shook his head: "I don't remember." β
Xie Yinxue took out a portrait of Su Xunlan from the cuff again: "What about people? Ever seen it? Remember this face? β
Shen Qiujian still denied it: "I don't remember." β
"Take it and ask them." Xie Yinxue also laughed, raised her chin and pointed at the Shen family at the gate, and pushed the portrait in the direction of Shen Qiujian, "There are so many people, I don't believe that no one remembers!" β
In the last sentence, Xie Yinxue's voice was raised very high, and he seemed to inhale the cold wind because of this, and coughed violently on the table.
Shen Qiujian held the portrait, subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to give Xie Yinxue a good breath, but he was afraid that he would not listen to Xie Yinxue's words and leave the warm pavilion to ask the other Shen family members to make him angry, and the pestle was in a dilemma.
The old housekeeper lifted the windshield curtain of the warm pavilion and walked in, wanting to pat Xie Yinxue's back and do what Shen Qiujian wanted to do, but Xie Yinxue waved his sleeves to block it, and no one touched him.
"Yin Xue, you should have asked Xiangling this question too, right?" The old butler sighed heavily, "Whatever she says, the answer we give you is what it is, no matter how you ask, it is this answer." β
Xiangling is Chen's mother's name, and her full name is Chen Xiangling.
"I didn't ask her." Xie Yinxue raised her head tightly on the edge of the table, stared at the old housekeeper's eyes and said, "I only asked her if my master has an enemy surnamed 'Su', and she said no." β
"You tell me, if I ask her, what answer will she give me?"
"Don't you remember?"
Chapter 182
"Yes."
Faced with Xie Yinxue's questioning, the old housekeeper replied so categorically, he said, "Because this is what your master meant." β
Xie Yinxue was suddenly stunned.
Outside the Warm Pavilion, the snow fell even harder, almost separating the Warm Pavilion from the outside into two worlds.
The fierce whistling wind and snow outside can't come in, but even if they can invade here, they can't make Xie Yinxue chill more than the words of the old housekeeper: "Yin Xue, you should understand, if it weren't for your master's intentions, who in the entire Shen family would dare to hide it from you, and hide it for so many years?" β
Yes, who would dare to hide it from him?
Chen Yuqing and all of his people are the lifeblood of the Shen family, and they are carrying the entire Shen family step by step in the long river of history.
He sacrificed so much for the Shen family, who would dare to deceive him for such a lie that might eventually be exposed?
Only Chen Yuqing dares.
"I can't hide that now......"
Xie Yinxue hunched her back, looking older than the silver-haired old housekeeper with a rickety appearance, and prayed in a soft and low voice: "Just tell me?" Good no good? β
Shen Qiujian really couldn't bear it, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was stopped by the old housekeeper: "I'll tell you." β
He said: "Yin Xue, you have to pass on the Yuqing family, you should know that there are countless ways to continue life in Qimen, but life and death have life, and they cannot be easily changed for manpower, and any kind of way to continue life in the world needs to pay a great price." β
It's like killing people to pay for your life, if you want to get the longevity you shouldn't have, you have to pay the corresponding price.
- Exchanging lives for lives is the easiest and quickest way to do it.
A monk with high mana power can forcibly take away the life of others to continue his life, but doing so is detrimental to yin morality, and the life span of hard snatching is as little as a few days, and at most it is only a few months, and it is rarely measured in years.
But everything in the world has its own value, and so does lifespan.
Someone can get it by hard robbery, and there is someone who can offer a high price for that person to sell or give it away.
"You were seriously ill that year, and there was no cure, so we bought a few children and sent them to Mingyue Cliff to renew your life." The old housekeeper gently put the cloak on Xie Yinxue and didn't touch him, "I negotiated with their parents when I bought it, but after sending it over, Chen Yuqing didn't agree." β
"Talked?" Xie Yinxue laughed, only feeling extremely absurd, "Their parents are not them, how can they make decisions for them?" β
The old housekeeper's voice was calm: "Yes, your father also knew that Chen Yuqing would refuse." β
They sent those children to Mingyue Cliff and to Chen Yuqing, just to force Chen Yuqing to die.
Because of Chen Yuqing, he wanted to let Xie Yinxue go at first.
Those children were personally brought to Mingyue Cliff by the housekeeper Shen Jiangcai, so he still remembers how Chen Yuqing was angry when Xie Yinxue's father Shen Huaishen, Chen Yuqing's brother Shen Huaien, and sister Shen Huaimei knelt in front of Chen Yuqing that day.
He pounded his chest, his eyes were red, and he almost vomited blood with hatred: "I, Chen Yuqing, have done good deeds and accumulated virtue in my life, saved countless people, and boasted that I had a clear conscience!" Now you want me to kill these children to renew Yin Xue's life? How dare you! How dare you speak! β
Shen Huaishen lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Shen Huaien said: "They are all voluntary, if you don't do it, Yin Xue will die." β
"Then let him die!"
The tears in Chen Yuqing's eyes finally fell, he turned his back to Shen Huaien and the others, staggered back, held on to the table and cried: "I can still live...... I can live for decades...... Wouldn't it be good for us to let him go? β
"When I accepted Xie Yinxue, it was a hexagram calculated by you yourself. It is you who said that he is unparalleled in talent, and he does not have the ability to surpass. Have you forgotten all this? Shen Huaimei asked him, "He is only twelve years old, he has never left the Bright Moon Cliff, the world is so big, thousands of mountains and rivers, are you willing to let him leave without looking at it?" β
Chen Yuqing shook his head and was stubborn: "He will see it, he will never see it in Mingyue Cliff, he can only see it when he leaves." You have repented of what you said before, and I forgot it all! β
Seeing this, Shen Huaishen finally spoke up: "Go and ask him what he means." β
