"There are a lot of three months in this life. But there aren't necessarily that many happy three months. I don't envy immortals, but I know that even if I become an immortal, I don't have the happiness of my three months of life. ”

"Only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals. Yun Wuxian said.

"Yes, that's what it means. Xiao Cui said, "You kid knows a lot." The three months that I have been with Xuanji can be said to be how happy and happy I am. ”

Xiaocui kept repeating that she and Xuanji had been together for three months, because she hadn't experienced that for a long time. That good time was deeply buried by her. Now, some people are willing to listen to her, and when she talks about what happened at that time, she may not have any feelings for such a listener as Yun Wuxian. But for Xiaocui, this is the continuation of happiness and the search for happiness.

"And then?" Yun Wuxian wondered what had happened next, so much so that the two otherwise happy people turned against each other.

"Later?" Xiao Cui withdrew her gaze, and her face became cold. "Later, when I was about to give birth. Mystery is missing. ”

"Why did he leave?" asked Yun Wuji.

"I don't know. He walked at night. That night, when the two of us were having dinner, Xuanji also said that tomorrow, she would go to the nearby market to buy a toy for the child. I said that the baby in my belly was a little girl and asked him to buy a windmill for the child. He said that the child in his belly was a boy and that he was going to buy a rattle for the child. The two of us argued for half the night, and finally decided to buy a windmill and a rattle for the child. ”

"Early in the morning, I woke up to find that the other person was gone. ”

"Perhaps, he went to buy toys for the child. Yun Wuxian said.

"At the time, I thought so, so I didn't look for him. However, at noon, he did not return. I'm not in a hurry either, I know he likes to drink. I wouldn't let him drink, so he would sneak into the market every time to drink a little wine. This time, he went to the market by himself, and he would definitely still secretly drink a little wine. In the evening, he still didn't come back, and I began to feel uneasy. He never stayed overnight. And he knew that I was about to give birth, and it was impossible for him to stay overnight. ”

"I sat on the stone outside and waited for him all night, and he didn't come back. The next morning, my stomach hurt and then it started bleeding. ”

Xiao Cui suddenly stopped talking, lowered her head, and tears kept flowing. Yun Wuxian knew that something bad must have happened behind him.

"Senior, don't say it if you don't want to. Yun Wuxian said.

"No, I'm going to say it. Xiaocui said stubbornly, "This matter has been suppressed in my heart for thirty years, this time, I must say it." ”

After a pause, Xiaocui continued: "Because I was overworked, the child was born prematurely. Then, after giving birth, I fainted due to my excessive bleeding. When I woke up, I saw my baby, who was quietly dead next to me. ”

"Dead?" Yun Wuxian couldn't believe his ears. His eyes widened as he looked at Cui. Xiaocui said that when the child died, his face was very calm, as if it was not his child who died, but a sheep and a dog. Yun Wuxian knew that for so many years, she should always think about her child's death. After a long time and more times, her whole body became numb.

Numbness is not that there is no emotion, but that the affection is faint in the depths.

"Yes. My child died. I thought that if I hadn't fainted, the child wouldn't have died. I started to resent myself. Later, I thought that if the mystery was by my side, the child would not die. ”

Three days later, the mystery appeared. I told him that the child was dead, that he had killed the child, and that I was going to kill him. He didn't dare to face me, he didn't dare to face the dead child, he kept running. He fled for thirty years, and I pursued him for thirty years. But that's not the end, as long as I'm alive, as long as he's alive. I'll chase after him, and I'll ask him to give an explanation for the child's death. ”

Yun Wuxian understood the reason why Xiao Cui chased the mystery. Yun Wuxian also understood why Xuanji ran away.

"Senpai, I'm sorry. I apologize to you for the frivolity I had before. Yun Wuxian clenched his fists and said, "I didn't know that so much had happened to you. If I knew, I wouldn't lie to you. However, I think you and Xuanji's seniors, the two of you are always chasing each other, and the other is running, and there is no way? Didn't you listen to Xuanji explain why he left suddenly?"

"What excuse can he have. He couldn't leave, even if he had a good reason. If he hadn't left, my child wouldn't have died. Xiaocui said.

"Senpai, you are waiting for me here. I'm going to bring the mystery seniors. This time, no matter how you beat him, even if you kill him, I won't let him escape. Qiyun said without a trace.

Xiao Cui wiped the tears from her face and said, "Go and call him." I will not kill him, nor will I beat him. I just want him to give me an explanation. ”

Yun Wuxian walked out of the hut and went straight to the mouth of the canyon. Xuanji basked in the sun and fell asleep, Yun Wuxian picked up a thatch from the ground and stuffed it into Xuanji's nose, Xuanji sneezed and woke up.

"Why did you kid go in for so long this time. Xuanji asked.

"Listen to stories. "I don't know how long I've been in. Always, the story was so good that it immediately hooked me. I lost track of time. ”

"Story?" Xuan Ji jumped down from the stone at once, like a child, and took Yun Wuji's arm, and pleaded, "What story?

"Do you really want to hear it?" asked Yun Wuji.

"Of course, of course. I'm one of my favorite people to listen to stories. Especially the kind of story that is scary and exciting. You'd better be more serious when you're telling the story, and you'd better create a scary atmosphere, so it's fun, isn't it?"

"I don't tell stories. Cui can tell stories. Yun Wuxian said, "Why don't we go in together and listen to Xiaocui tell us horror stories." ”

Yun Wuxian pulled the mystery and walked inside. Xuanji hurriedly broke free and said, "I don't want to see her." Don't talk about it, I'm hungry, I'm going back to eat. ”

Xuanji turned his head to leave, but Yun Wuxian grabbed Xuanji and said, "Okay, let's not go see her." I'm here to tell you a story, you sit down and listen to it. ”

Xuanji sat upright on the stone and listened to Yun Wuxian tell the story.

"It's a very scary story. The story begins outside the Saiwai, it was a bitterly cold winter day, and a young man and a beautiful woman met. Yun Wuxian retold the story that Xiaocui told him to Xuanji, and Xuanji heard that the child died later, and he burst into tears, crying and saying, "That child is so pitiful." Why did you die, you liar, this is not a horror story, this is a sad story. ”

Yun Wuxian shook his head and said, "You are also wrong. It's not a story, it's a real thing. That man is called Xuanji, and that woman is called Xiaocui. ”

In fact, when Yun Wuxian told the story, Xuanji vaguely knew that Yun Wuxian was talking about him, but Yun Wuxian didn't mention his name, and he pretended to be confused and didn't know. Now, Yun Wuxian said his name, and he couldn't pretend he didn't know.

"Xiao Cui told you this?" asked Xuanji.

"Do you know why Senior Xiaocui beat you?" asked Yun Wuxian .

Xuanji nodded and said, "I know." I already knew that the child was dead, and Xiaocui was angry, and she wanted to take out her anger on me. I think she hit me twice, and the anger in my heart will be released, and it will be over. But every time she saw me, she beat me. If I don't run away, she'll be killed. The child died, and I felt bad, but it wasn't my fault, why did she keep beating me?"

"Until now, do you still know that you made a mistake?" Yun Wuxian said, "Tell me honestly, what did you do when Xiaocui gave birth?"

"I've gone to the demons. Xuanji said.

"The crux of the matter comes out. Yun Wuxian said, "Your wife is about to give birth." But you ran to subdue the demon, can she not resent you? Don't say beat you? It's not an exaggeration for her to kill you. ”

"I also want to wait for her by Cui's side. However, if I don't kill the monster, Cui and the child will be in danger. Xuanji said.

"You're just talking nonsense. Yun Wuxian said, "You live here, where did you come from? ”

"I'm not talking nonsense. Xuanji said, "That night, Xiaocui and I discussed what kind of toys to buy for the child tomorrow, and the two of us discussed for half a night. Later, Xiaocui fell asleep. I was about to go to bed when I saw a tengu. ”

"Aren't you right?" asked Yun Wuji.

"It's true. Xuanji said, "It was the fifteenth night and the moon was exceptionally bright. When I went to sleep, I left the window open and I was going to fall asleep looking at the moon. Then I saw a dark shadow on the moon, which grew bigger and bigger, and finally the black shadow jumped out of the moon. ”

"How do you know that the dark shadow is a tengu?" asked Yun Wuji.

"The breeze made me submit in a year to be a youkai. I've submitted nine before. The last youkai is the Tengu. I fought with the tengu, and although I wounded the tengu, I couldn't submit him. Now, the tengu has appeared, and if I don't get rid of the tengu, the tengu will eat Tsuizu. ”

"So, that night, you chased the tengu?" asked Yun Wuxian.

"I'm trying to chase the tengu. Because of the time with Xiaocui, I thought of a way to deal with tengu. However, when I saw Xiao Cui, who was sleeping on the side, and Xiao Cui's big belly, I dismissed the attention of chasing tengu. Xiaocui is about to give birth, how can I no longer be around. ”

"But then you went. Leaving Xiaocui alone in the Valley of Amorous. Yun Wuxian said.
