Chapter 7: Your Name
The boy's family lives in the north of the city, where the flow of people is dense, it is a mixed place of dragons and snakes in the capital, and it is separated from the quieter Wending Street in the east of the city by most of the city.
At the beginning of Dayan, there was a curfew in the city, and the streets were quiet and unoccupied at this time, and after the heavy rain, the whole city seemed to have been washed, clean and clear. The stars were bright in the sky, and there were puddles of water in the streets, and the wheels ran over them, as if they had crushed the stars on the earth.
The boy had a low-grade fever after being drenched in the rain, and Phantom asked him to sit in the car with him. The young man was sitting precariously, his thin shoulders were straight, his hands were folded on his knees, and he looked like he had a good family education, and if he changed into luxurious clothes, he could compare to many sons of families. Phantom Wu watched from the sidelines, and suddenly wondered what kind of mother could teach such a well-behaved child.
"How old are you?" Phantom asked, staring at the young man's slender wrist in a sudden voice.
The young man's head was dizzy, and when he heard this, he cheered up and replied, "Sixteen...... By the end of the year, it will be sixteen. ”
Phantom nodded and asked again, "I've seen you three times, and I don't know what your name is." ”
The young man thought to himself, obviously he had only seen it twice, but he still replied: "My name is Changjue," thought for a while, and then continued: "Long and long, continuous and endless." ”
Phantom Wu didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes sparkled: "Oh, Xiao Jue." ”
Sure enough, Chang Jue sat sideways, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.
"Don't keep calling me Engong, I'm called Phantom, grass. I'm crazy how old you are, so you call me Ah Wu...... Sister. Phantom Wu smiled slyly.
Chang Jue didn't know why, he just didn't want to call her sister, and replied, "I don't have a sister," there was a bit of stubbornness in his tone, "I'll still follow Brother Ge Sheng and them, and call you Miss." ”
"You are not my servant, what do you call me Miss, Ge Sheng, you are called brother, why can't you call me Sister?"
"The status of the female monarch is noble, and the villain does not dare to climb ......" the more she said, the lower her voice became.
Phantom Wu saw that his face was flushed with a suspicious flush, but his expression was still calm, and his bad taste was satisfied, thinking that he was still a child, and his face was thin, so he no longer forced him, leaning on the wall of the car: "Since you don't want to call me sister, then forget it, but you are not my family, and it is inconvenient to call me Miss, so call me Ah Wu." ”
"Ah...... Ah Wu. "This sound is almost like a mosquito humming.
The carriage traveled for two quarters of an hour and arrived at Changjue's house in the north of the city.
It was a wooden house with a small yard, the house was frugal, but well kept, clean and tidy. The yard is planted with flowers and plants, and when it is watered by the rain at night, there is a faint aroma of orchids.
Phantom nodded secretly and entered the house with the chief.
Entering the door was a hall with a man in white who was sitting in a high hat chair drinking tea.
The man put the teacup down, raised his eyes and smiled: "You're here." ”
Chang Jue saw that the two obviously knew each other, looked left and right, and looked puzzled.
Phantom Wu looked at the bright smile angrily, thinking that it was really so, but he still bowed down and called, "Master." ”
This time Chang Jue was calm again, and he was stunned.
Phantom turned around and kindly explained, "He is my master. ”
Phantom Wu briefly explained his relationship with Hui Ming to Chang, and walked into the bedroom together.
I saw a woman with a good complexion on the couch, but her face was pale, her eyes were a little blue, and her lips were pale and pale at first glance. The eyebrows and eyes are a little similar, obviously they are gorgeous appearances, because of the eyebrows and eyes with a bit of heroism, but the whole body is full of gentle temperament. At this moment, the window was ajar, and the woman turned her head to look at a black orchid by the window, with a smile on her lips.
Phantom Wu looked at this woman, and only thought of "Lan Zhiyi, promote its fragrance", at this moment, you can understand at a glance, why Chang Jue's demeanor is down, full of noble and elegant atmosphere, there is a mother like a gentleman in a flower, where can the child go. Phantom Wu secretly admired, what a woman like an orchid.
Changjue's mother was in a trance, and when she heard the movement, she knew that she was coming back from her own family. He turned his head and smiled brightly.
"Ah Jue," the woman beckoned to Changjue, "why is your face so red, but it's raining?"
Chang Jue gently pressed his mother's hand, glanced at the direction of the phantom almost imperceptibly, and replied, "It's raining a little, but I've already taken the decoction, but I'm in a hurry just now." ”
The mother and son were talking, and Phantom Wu saw the woman's face clearly, frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and turned to look at Huiming.
Hui Ming had already received the questioning gaze of Phantom Wu, but he didn't look back at him, just looked at the mother and son in front of him, to be exact, he was looking at Changjue, and smiled slightly.
"This is what Mr. Hui Ming said about the dream doctor. Phantom Wu listened to Changjue introduce himself, stepped forward, and said, "Madame just call me Ah Wu." ”
"It turned out to be a girl Awu, and the concubine was the mother of the elder, Xu's Zhilan. After speaking, he bowed to Phantom Wu, "Thank you Miss Ah Wu for coming in the starry night, it was our mother and son who bothered me." ”
"It's okay, it's a matter of duty. Phantom waved his hand.
At this time, Hui Ming stepped forward: "Phantom Wu is my disciple, proficient in the art of dream-making, unmatched in the world. ”
Zhilan listened, nodded, and said, "Then my business will trouble the girl." ”
That night, Phantom Wu sat in front of the couch and listened to his mother talk about the past. In fact, Phantom Wu can also know Zhilan's past with dream voyeurism, just like the green mandarin, but he can listen to the main owner's own narration, and can understand the needs of the victim more directly from the changes in tone and emotion, so under the conditions allowed, Phantom Wu will listen to the subject tell it in person, and then learn more about it through the dream peeping technique.
Changjue's mother's name is Xu Zhilan, the daughter of an ordinary family, and she has been outstanding since she was a child. Changjue's father's name is Yinyi, in Zhilan's words, that is, since he was sensible, Yinyi lived next door to his house. When he was a child, Yinyi protected and took care of himself like a big brother, and the two can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and they have feelings for each other. When Zhilan arrived at the age of Jilu, the person who proposed the marriage was considered to have broken the threshold, because Zhilan was beautiful, and there was no shortage of people who proposed the family of the prince and grandson, but the parents of the Xu family loved their daughter and did not want their daughter to marry high. At this time, Yinyi also came to propose, Yinyi lived next to him for many years, although he didn't know what he was doing, but looking at his family's solid background, he knew his roots and knew his own family, and he could be regarded as a good family, so the Xu family's parents readily agreed. Although there were some twists and turns in the days of preparing for marriage, Zhilan finally married the man she liked.
Within a few years, Chang Jue was born, and just when Zhilan thought that she had completed her life, Yinyi disappeared.
Yinyi usually didn't do any livelihood but his family was wealthy, and he didn't have parents at home, Zhilan once asked him, and Yinyi replied that his family was killed by adulterers in his early years, and his parents died, so he was the only one who escaped and lived with the ancestral property left by his parents. As for who the enemy is, Yin Yi didn't elaborate, only said that the matter had passed, and he didn't want revenge, he just wanted to live a good life with his wife and children. Although Zhilan felt strange, she didn't think much about it. Until Chang Jue was one year old, Yin Yi suddenly became uneasy, Zhilan asked him, but he only shook his head and sighed, telling Zhilan that if anything happened to him, he would leave home with Chang Jue and hide, he would definitely come to find their mother and son.
A few days later, Zhilan went out with a long refusal, and disappeared when she went home, leaving the jade pendant of the two of them on the table.
Zhilan gently rubbed the two half-moon-shaped jade pendants in her hand, and sighed: "This is our agreement, if there is any accident, I will leave the jade pendant, and I will leave with the child immediately." I have been waiting, hoping that he will come back, but after waiting for more than ten years, he still has not heard from him. Zhilan paused, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were already wet, "I don't blame him, in fact, I also feel that Yinyi is not an ordinary person, he must have been stumped by something." For so many years, Chang Jue is very well-behaved and filial, I am already very satisfied, I am just worried about him, I don't know if he is okay, he can't come back, he must be thinking about me somewhere, but there is no one around him, how lonely he should be. ”
Phantom Wu felt sorry for this woman from the bottom of her heart, for so many years, it was not easy for a woman to raise a child alone, and she didn't have a trace of complaint about her husband, just waited stupidly. If it were yourself, you would definitely not be able to do it.
"Madame do you want me to weave a dream of family reunion for you, even if you know that everything is fake?" asked Phantom Wu softly after a moment's thought.
"Miss Ah Wu also knows, my life is short, I have never been willful in my life, at this time, I want to give it a try, even if it is in a dream, it is complete. With that, he coughed lowly.
Phantom Wu hurriedly called the chief of the outside world to get the medicine, and did not ask again.
Phantom Wu walked out of the door and saw a person standing in the courtyard, and the bright moon wrapped his long figure, as if he was independent.
"Master......" Phantom Wu had a lot of things to ask, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know how to speak.
A gust of wind blew, and even on a summer night, Phantom Wu felt a little cold. "This is the breath of death," Hui Ming turned to look at her, "Mother Chang Jue is the last few days." ”
Phantom opened his mouth, a little stunned.
"I know what you want to ask, Xu Zhilan is indeed the person I am looking for. Hui Ming reached out and rubbed the top of Phantom's head, which was a habitual action to comfort her.
"Last time you returned to the valley from the capital, I felt some familiar breath in you, which was Luo Zhao's and also hidden. ”
"Who's Yinyi?" Phantom had never heard of that name.
"Yinyi is the father of the elders. Hui Ming tilted his head and smiled.
"You know that's not what I'm asking. Phantom pouted, only in front of Hui Ming, she could show a little bit of a woman's coquettishness.
"Yinyi is the phoenix divine bird in the sky, responsible for guarding the East Pole, which is the place where the demon sword and dog god sealed. When Luo Zhao was still the god of war, he once inspected the East Pole and met Yinyi, and the two fell in love. Later, all kinds of causes and effects, Luo Zhao's distraction, was also related to the accidental release of the East Pole Evil Demon. Yin Yi was punished for this, but escaped from the Nether Realm while he was imprisoned, and his whereabouts were unknown. It turned out that with Luo Zhao's soul, he found here, married a mortal who had Luo Zhao's soul and two souls, and had a son. Speaking of this, Hui Ming showed a somewhat helpless look.
Seeing it in his eyes, he only felt that his master was sighing, he was slower than Yinyi, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Whether it's a mortal or a god, if you get married, you get married, and you have children. Phantom Wu didn't know what he was worried about, but he felt that he had to make the master angry, and then said: "The love between the husband and wife is stronger than Jin, one is at the risk of being punished, and he also wants to find someone in the lower realm, and the other has been waiting for so many years, and he still has a deep love, it is really a rock and a reed." With that, he turned around and left.
Hui Ming stood in place, stunned for a long time, shook his head, and sighed almost imperceptibly.
