Chapter 12: Making Choices
"You don't believe it, you don't believe a word. It's an affirmative, not an interrogative, "Why?"
Xu is a woman who grew up in a deep alley, how much does she know about the outside world, and why do you think that the inference of the agency must be wrong?
"How can the bandits be so powerful?" Xu said dryly, "Otherwise, it won't be so easy to suppress the bandits." ”
Chitose smiled, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and bent down to get up: "That's it, you keep your secret, I'll go my way." ”
Xu was in a hurry and rushed up to grab her hand. But Chitose's eyes condensed slightly, and Xu suddenly felt a chill behind him, and he didn't dare to move again, so he had to beg bitterly: "Fairy Gu don't go, it's the little woman's mistake!"
Chitose dusted his cuffs: "If you don't tell the truth, I won't be able to help you, and don't try to lie in front of me, you are not good enough." ”
She was even taller than Xu, and at this time she stared at the woman with a downward posture, and the latter was immediately suppressed by her momentum, and snorted: "I, my own brother is in the grass in the Poison Fang Mountain, and he will come back every year." They...... Won't hurt my husband!"
Chitose let out a long "oh" sound, "I see." ”
It turns out that the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion are still colluding with the bandits outside the city. No wonder the Xu family is so sure that Zhu Jian was not killed by bandits.
Xu covered his face.
What if the suspicion of a bandit is ruled out? This also means that she cannot come up with strong evidence, which will only make her own pain worse, because her husband's murderer is still hidden in the shadows, and no one can identify them!
Chitose saw what she was thinking, and her voice was very soft: "I can help you complete your revenge, but there is a price!"
Xu Shi did not hesitate: "Immortal Gu, please say, as long as you can take revenge, I will agree to whatever you want!"
Chitose's eyes moved slightly: "Anything?"
"Anything!" Xu pursed his lips, his eyes resolute, "As long as I can avenge my husband!" However, my family does not have much savings, so I may not be able to pay it all. ”
"Maybe it's not the money I want, but the things you value most. ”
Xu smiled bitterly: "Immortal Gu said that she laughed." My grandson is in trouble, my heart is dead, I just want to go with him, where else can there be anything important?"
"That might be. Chitose looked at her belly twice, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Xu Shi was cold all over her body when she saw it, as if she even had a faint pain in her lower abdomen. She covered her belly, and suddenly her heart was about to contract:
What this girl wants, could it be the child in her womb? She had heard that some strangers would dig up the fetus from the womb of pregnant women and practice evil arts!
In her eyes, this woman who was so beautiful that she was better than the fairy immediately turned into a pink skeleton, the kind that could eat living people! Even the other party's soft voice was like a melody urging life:
"Now, can you still say 'anything goes'?"
Xu's face was like gold paper, and he suddenly cried: "No, please don't take my child!"
Chitose was unmoved, and added: "Then do you want to avenge your husband, or do you want to keep the fetus?"
Xu sobbed and choked: "I, I ...... it"
"Don't tell me you think about it, it's too greedy. Chitose looked at the mourning hall and said quietly, "Have you heard that it is difficult to have both worlds?"
Xu stood in place, dazed. To avenge her husband is to lose her child, and if you want to keep the fetus, you have to give up arresting the murderer. Giving up anything makes her heart broken, does she really have to make a decision?
Looking at the look on her face, the boy couldn't help but stand up, grabbed Chitose's sleeve and shook it vigorously.
"What are you doing?" said the girl in Tsing Yi unhappily, "Adults talk about things, children sit down obediently!"
The boy pulled her and walked out, while stretching out his hand to point to Zhu Lian's tablet and patting his chest again.
This action was made for Xu's to see.
Because of the exaggerated movements, the two women in the room clearly understood what he meant:
This thing is on me.
He was just a child, Xu couldn't believe it, but he was a little lucky. He came with this mysterious woman, maybe he also has some skills?
Chitose's face sank: "Don't talk nonsense!"
In her anger, she forgot that this guy never "said".
The boy shook his head resolutely.
Chitose glanced at Xu: "She still thinks about death, that is, she doesn't want the fetus in her womb." In this case, why not use it to avenge your husband?"
Xu Shi was so frightened that his body shook, and he covered his belly with both hands and said repeatedly: "I want a child, I want to give birth!" The voice was unexpectedly sharp, and the mother-in-law who was sleeping next door was alarmed and coughed twice.
The boy smiled at her, then walked out.
He left, and Chitose couldn't stay, she sighed angrily and turned out of the mourning hall.
The house immediately fell silent.
Listening to the sound of the boy's footsteps going away, and then the sound of the wooden door closing, Xu stood in place for a long time before he walked out with difficulty.
His steps were heavy, as if they had been filled with lead.
I don't know when the rain has stopped, and there are autumn insects chirping in the grass.
Xu didn't know why the strange big and small ones came, they came and went in a hurry, except for leaving an inexplicable conversation, which didn't seem to change the situation in any way.
Miraculously, however, he has changed.
She didn't want to die, she had children.
¥¥¥¥¥
Walking out of Zhu's house, Chitose poked the boy's chest hard: "I don't know how to pretend to understand, do you still want to save up your wish!"
Her finger was on the wooden bell, and—
Pierced through it, as if there was nothing.
Chitose withdrew his hand with a calm face and sighed in his heart. It's ridiculous, for her this thing has no physical body, can be inhabited, but cannot be directly touched.
The boy pointed to the door of the Zhu family with one hand, pulled out the wooden bell around his neck with the other, and shook her twice.
Chitose sneered: "You have compassion?"
What is "compassion"? The boy tilted his head, puzzled.
"It's compassion!" Chitose walked with his hands in his hands, and when he raised his leg, he kicked a stone on the road and hit the door of someone else's house with a bang. Do you know that before you knocked on the door of Zhu's house, she had already hung a rope loop on the kitchen beam, and was about to hang herself. ”
The boy was taken aback.
"Since it was Zhu Jian who triggered the heavenly opportunity, and we can't reverse the antecedents, then the people and things related to him must be handled properly as much as possible. If you avenge the Xu family, she has a long-cherished wish, and she has no worries in the world, so she kicks her legs down the Yellow Spring, then this matter may not be completed, and the wish power to get it is too little. You've tried your best, but you've not been able to maximize the rewards of the wooden bells. That's really half the effort!"
