Chapter VII
"You. I pointed at him, my nervous hair almost standing on end, "I only promised to marry the old man, not you." ”
"Well, I'll be like that. As he spoke, he stood up and looked like he could change.
I immediately pleaded softly, "Don't change. I just said it casually to get out, don't take it seriously. Marriage is not child's play, it needs to be decided by parents, and I promise you that it doesn't count at all. ”
"But because of your promise, I have already killed Jin Sandao. If you can't come back from death, do you still want to regret it?" he again dumbfounded my question
I thought about it, how do I send him away? Hey, yes, this reason must be fine. I said to him: "You are a demon, I am a human, how can I have a marriage match." ”
"Are you worried that our children will be unhuman and demonic? Instead, he looked at me with a smile.
I was red-faced, and I choked as if I had swallowed steamed buns raw: "That's not what I said. I mean, I'm too small, I'm too timid, and I'm not scared, you change all day long, I'm afraid you'll scare me to death one day. ”
"I said I would raise you for five years, and when you were eighteen, I would marry you. With that, he grabbed my sleeve, and my hand was sunk into the sleeve. He let go of me at the right time, and said, "Isn't five years enough time to get used to the mercy of my monster?" He spoke softly and smiled in his eyes, and I was afraid that I would lose my mind and agree to him. After thinking about it, I thought that if he fell in love with another woman within five years, wouldn't his unnegotiable agreement become a piece of paper? Or, if I have made great progress in Xianzimen and become a disciple who is very favored by the master, then he will not be able to help me.
"Wait until you're eighteen?" he asked me softly, tilting his head in a flattering way.
"Oh. "I was vague. I thought that if I didn't rely on him for a while, he would definitely threaten me from time to time, so I simply bowed my head and acquiesced. But the thought that I would be sent away by my father in the evening, and that he would stop me, told him everything, and of course the matter of the golden thread could never be said.
He turned his back to me and said, "If the yamen can't catch the murderer, your departure will bring disaster to your father." ”
"Then what should I do?" I thought that the murderer would stand in front of me in a grand manner, but I couldn't help him, and I had to accompany him with a smiling face, thinking that the group of mortal flesh in the yamen would not be able to catch him, and my departure would definitely cause trouble for my father, so it would be better to probe his tone first: "Why did you kill them?"
"They?" he turned around, his face surprised, "I only killed Jin Sandao." I didn't kill the others. ”
"Then why does Jin Sandao have orchid fingers?" I said bluntly.
He looked at me solemnly: "Orchid refers to me deliberately confusing them. Only then can you get out of prison and I can marry you. He approached me and looked at me earnestly: "Don't you believe me?"
Maybe his eyes were too honest, and I was sweating profusely from my forehead, and it was a mystery, and it would take time to catch the murderer, and I couldn't just walk away. He didn't know how to do magic anymore, and I just begged him to take me to my father, and I asked him to let me stay.
He looked sideways at my hand holding his sleeve, and I immediately realized that something was wrong with me, and quickly stepped back, keeping a step away from him. He smiled at me and said, "If you let me pull your hand, I'll tell you the whereabouts of that murderer." ”
I looked at him incredulously: "How do you know the whereabouts of the murderer?"
"Because I'm a monster who can do anything. "He looked like he was waiting for me to decide.
I twisted and lowered my head, his request was very excessive, although I am not a national beauty, but I am also a girl, he made such a request, it is really despicable.
I rejected him not entirely because of his changeable hands, but because of the difference between men and women, and it was difficult for me to compromise with his request, and if he was a female monster, I might consider it.
"It's really hard for you, so be it, you put your hand out, I'll just look. He repetitively said.
"Okay, but you can't go back. I immediately agreed to his terms and obediently stretched out my hand.
He looked at my hand and froze. There was only a pale red birthmark on my palm, which scared him. Just as I was curious, a thunderous image flashed through my mind, my hands on a burning wall, and I was pushing a door with the sharp pain coming from my hands.
"Huh?" I clutched my head and stepped back, slumping to the ground.
"What do you see?" he said nervously, grabbing me suddenly.
My mind was in a state of confusion, and looking into his complex and solemn eyes, I told the picture that suddenly came to my mind, and he suddenly pulled me up from the ground, pulled me into his generous arms, and hugged me tightly. I was amazed at what had happened. I froze, and I didn't know if I should break free of him, or scream, or continue to bear this very heavy hug from him. Yes, his hug was heavy and heavy, and I felt like I was bound by a stone.
I was embarrassed and whispered, "Didn't you say five years? "The heart was beating fast, like a restless little drum hidden in the chest.
He let go of me, looked at me with burning eyes, and said earnestly, "Don't you really want to clear your innocence? ”
"How are you going to help, can you help me catch that murderer?" I was pleasantly surprised.
"That murderer is not human. His face was solemn.
"Not a human, but a youkai?" I looked at him eagerly.
He lowered his eyes, as if he didn't want to say, "Not either." ”
"What's that?" I was even more curious, vaguely thinking that he should know what it was.
"Most of the murderers are outside the city gates, but now there are some inside the city. His tone was flat, after which he added: "I only promise to tell you the whereabouts of the murderer, and that's all I know." ”
I was confused, is this also the whereabouts of the murderer, outside the city, in the city, there is no fixed residence, what he said is the same as if he didn't say it. I thought to myself that he didn't want to say it at all, or maybe he was just talking nonsense to see my hands.
I sat down at the table with my mouth pouted and angry, holding my cheek with my hand. He sat across from me, still looking at me softly, as if I had a painting hanging on my face, so that he never got tired of looking at it, he said: "Actually, I should help you deal with the aftermath the most, after all, I shouldn't have been in order to tease you at the beginning, and possessed the flower cat that had long been out of breath to tease your aunt, I didn't expect that those brainless people would treat you as a murderer." I thought it was really interesting, so I played with them. ”
Only then did I know why Xiaohua died and came back to life again and again, it turned out that he was the ghost, and I said to him angrily: "That's why you accompanied me to prison, don't you feel ashamed to hurt me, an innocent girl." ”
His face was slightly stunned: "So, I should surrender and deal with the aftermath for you." ”
I was shocked: "But you only killed Jin Sandao, if you go to surrender, they will also count those cases on your head." Aren't you going to be very wronged? I asked instead, "What exactly are the murderers in those cases you're talking about?"
He took a piece of paper out of nowhere, and with a brush on the paper, a circle jumped on the paper.
"What is this?" I looked at in a fog.
He said seriously: "The murderer is like this." ”
"A round stone?" I asked rhetorically.
He shook his head.
"What's that?" I said.
"It's too dark, my eyes are bad, and that's what I see. He pointed to the circle on the paper.
Thinking that it would be strange that his green eyes could see clearly at night, he dispelled all curiosity.
He put down the cup, stood up, and looked at me with a solemn face: "Listen to your father, go to Xianzimen." ”
