Chapter 772: Night Stranger
The two went up to the attic, Ji Wuregret walked to the door of the house, knocked lightly on the door, and said softly: "Yiyi, Daddy and City Lord Xiao are here, I opened the door." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The choking sound in the room stopped, Ji Wuregret glanced at Xiao Chen, gently pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance like blue floated out of the house.
But seeing that the furnishings in the house are plain and elegant, the dressers are neatly placed, and what catches my eye is a hundred flower screens, which is indeed the boudoir of the daughter's family, but there is not even a maid, which is a little cold.
Behind the screen is a delicate carved bed, the bed curtain is woven from the best silk, and there are some bells, puppets and other small objects hanging on both sides of the bed, probably the only playmate of Ji Lianyi when she was a child.
Xiao Chen walked to the side of the screen and arched his hand slightly to Ji Lianyi, who was sitting on the bed: "Miss Ji." ”
Ji Lianyi's eyes were red, and there were still a few tears on her eyelashes, she raised her head and said softly: "Why are you ......?"
Ji Wuregret was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Chen: "Has City Lord Xiao seen the little girl?"
Xiao Chen smiled lightly, seeing that there was a red line on the floor under the screen, presumably no one could cross the red line to contact Ji Lianyi, in order to avoid Ji Wuregret's embarrassment, he said: "Please ask the owner of Ji Zhuang to be outside for a while." ”
Ji Wuregret frowned, he was the owner of the village, so even if his daughter was terminally ill, he couldn't cross the red line to condole, and at this time, seeing that Xiao Chen was so understanding, he nodded.
Xiao Chen crossed the red line and walked towards the small bed, Ji Lianyi frowned slightly, and said, "You...... You don't come over ......."
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and shook his head, he didn't believe in any curses, he only believed in one truth - there must be demons when things are impermanent!
Ji Wuregret stood outside the red line, his eyebrows were deeply locked, if there was no other way, he would not let Xiao Chen take such a big risk, the people who have been in contact with Ji Lianyi over the years, no matter how great their skills are, have not escaped.
Xiao Chen slowly sat on the edge of the bed, immediately smelled a faint fragrance of his daughter, and said softly: "Miss Ji, please give me your hand." ”
Ji Lian Yi'e frowned slightly, her face was still a little tearful, she clenched her palms tightly, and refused to take them out of the quilt, Ji Wuregret frowned and said: "Yiyi, listen to Daddy's words, Lord Xiao is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely be able to cure your illness......"
Hearing this, Ji Lianyi raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen, she had a slight affection for the man she suddenly met last night, but this only made her afraid, afraid that she would harm Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at her and smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, nodded and said, "En." ”
Ji Lianyi bit her lip, then slowly took her arm out of the embroidered quilt and slowly handed it to Xiao Chen, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by Ji Chunqiu's shout: "City Lord Xiao!"
The sudden sound frightened Ji Lianyi and retracted her hand again, Xiao Chen frowned, got up and walked towards the screen, only to see Ji Chunqiu running in in a hurry.
When Ji Chunqiu saw the situation in the house, he immediately glared at Ji Wuregret, and shouted: "Nonsense!" At the end of the words, he looked at Xiao Chen: "City Lord Xiao, come out quickly." ”
It turned out that the elder in the green robe was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Chen, so he went to inform him, and at this moment, the elders outside were there, Ji Yexue and Ji Ruoli were also there, but they didn't dare to enter the house.
Ji Yexue frowned and said, "Young Master Xiao, you come out first, my sister is ...... You won't understand. "When he speaks, his eyes are beautiful, bright and moving.
However, Xiao Chen just glanced at her lightly, then retracted his gaze to look at Ji Chunqiu, and frowned: "Please rest assured, the head of the Ji family will be fine, please stay away from it for the time being." ”
Ji Chunqiu looked anxious, and hurriedly said: "City Lord Xiao, you don't understand, take pity on her......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chen swiped the screen shut, and this time he seemed to be a little angry, and said unhappily: "Master Ji, Xiao is not worried, what are you worried about? Even if Xiao has an unfortunate accident, don't I still have an army of 100,000 people in Fengyun City? Everyone, please go back, I will help deal with the single family, Miss Ji's illness, I will definitely cure it." ”
The words made everyone outside stunned, Ji Lianyi is a member of their Ji family, but the people of their Ji family have given up, but this young man who has never known Ji Lianyi has to try his best to save it.
Before Ji Chunqiu could say anything, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and said: "The head of the Ji family, please go back, if there is a problem, you will naturally seek a solution, not ...... Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods!"
The tone of the last sentence was quite heavy, and several elders outside trembled, no one in the Ji family dared to talk to the head of the family like this, and I am afraid that only Xiao Chen dared to drink like this.
Ji Chunqiu couldn't help but be stunned, that's right, the Ji family started three hundred years ago, and there was a situation of Ji Lianyi inexplicably, and they couldn't find the reason at that time, so they could only identify it as a curse, and then they completely blamed it on the curse, and they didn't even look for the reason.
"Alas!"
Ji Chunqiu sighed heavily, he was drunk by Xiao Chen like this today, and finally felt ashamed, it was his own granddaughter in the house, but he couldn't find any way to save him, so he could only listen to the words of the elders of the previous generation, it was a curse, a curse that no one could break.
"Since City Lord Xiao has made up his mind, if there is any need, you can inform the old man. Ji Chunqiu sighed, and then said to the youngest son next to him: "No regrets, you come out with me." ”
The two went to the door, Ji Yexue was still looking at the screen in the house, her eyes at the moment were a little jealous, and she said in her heart: "Where is my Ji Yexue inferior to her, you would rather guard this sick seedling than look at me more!
Ji Yexue's heart became more and more jealous, and Ji Ruoli next to her saw that her eyes were wrong, pulled her sleeve, and signaled to leave.
After everyone left, the small attic was finally quiet, Xiao Chen turned around and walked towards the small bed, sat down lightly on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Pity girl, don't be afraid." ”
Ji Lianyi had tears on her face, sat down, shook her head and choked up: "I am an ominous person, I will only continue to bring disasters to the people around me, Xiao Gongzi, you go, I don't want to hurt you......"
Xiao Chen sighed, life is short, but a hundred years, and she only has a short life of twenty years, in an instant, no wonder last night she lamented the death of the mayfly, but what kind of curse, Xiao Chen still does not believe in this absurd and nonsense.
After a while, when Ji Lianyi was a little better, Xiao Chen pressed her wrist, crossed into a trace of true yuan, closed his eyes and sensed it with his divine sense, after the tea time, Ji Lianyi frowned slightly, no one had been in close contact with her so close in these years, and he was still a strange man.
After another tea time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and smiled softly: "It's okay, the girl will rest for one night, and Xiao will come to visit the girl again tomorrow." ”
Ji Lianyi still frowned slightly: "But...... Aren't you afraid of the curse on me......"
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled lightly, slowly helped her lie down, and gently covered the quilt for her, while saying, "I said that I have already died once, do you believe it?"
"Ah, then you ......" Ji Lianyi has always been simple, but she took it seriously, Xiao Chen said softly: "Girl, rest early, and Xiao will come back tomorrow." With that, he smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the screen.
Ji Lianyi looked at his departing back, and at this moment, there seemed to be ripples in his eyes.
After leaving the attic, Xiao Chen's expression immediately became extremely solemn, and only then did he carefully probe Ji Lianyi's situation, and found that Ji Lianyi did seem to be terminally ill and dying, but the curse or something was still too ridiculous, and he needed to go back and look through the Medicine King Sutra to see if he could find a way to save him.
When he arrived outside, Ji Wuregret was already anxious, and when he saw that he finally came out, he hurriedly asked, "Can City Lord Xiao see the illness that the little girl is suffering from?"
Xiao Chen's eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked, "Ling Ai is indeed suffering from ...... Strange disease, but I want to know, in the past three hundred years, who have suffered from a similar disease to Ling Ai?"
The meaning of his words is that he wants to go through the genealogy of the Ji family, Ji Lianyi does look like she is terminally ill, but the word "curse" is too ridiculous, and this terminal illness does not seem to be hereditary, otherwise it would not have started only three hundred years ago, I am afraid that everything is done by someone.
Ji Wuregret frowned, his face was embarrassed, how could the genealogy of the Ji family be casually read by outsiders, but now there is no other way, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally nodded: "Okay." ”
Tonight, the stars and moon were dim, the cold wind was like frost, Ji Wuregret went to Tibet, sent a few guards away, and Xiao Chen appeared from the woods and entered Tibet with him.
There are many branches of the Ji family, and the genealogy is not only one or two volumes, Ji Wuregret found more than a dozen thick books, several of which were already covered with dust, Xiao Chen opened one casually, and it happened to be the first woman who was "cursed" three hundred years ago.
"Ji Yue, the ninth birthday of the first month of March......"
Xiao Chen looked at the names on the family tree, muttering to himself, and while speaking, Ji Wuregret handed over several other booklets that had been turned over, Xiao Chen looked at it, and suddenly became stunned, every woman who was "cursed" on it was the birthday of the ninth day of the third month.
"Is it also the ninth birthday of the third month?"
Ji Wuregret nodded: "That's right, every terminally ill person is the ninth birthday of the first month of March. ”
Xiao Chen's expression suddenly became solemn, the Ji family has a wide range of branches, even if there are many people born on the same day, it is not surprising, it is strange that these "cursed" people are all born on the same day, it is indeed like a curse.
But in this world, many things tend to be more and more like, and in the end, they are all plausible, so at this moment, Xiao Chen is even more convinced, this is definitely not a curse.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from the window, Xiao Chen was keen, and immediately noticed that there was someone outside, and shouted in a low voice: "Who!" Before the words fell, his body moved, and he jumped out of the window.
"City Lord Xiao!" Ji Wuregret was also taken aback, and immediately launched a light skill and flew out, but his skill was far inferior to Xiao Chen, and he lost it in the blink of an eye.
"Who! Stop!"
Xiao Chen exerted Ling Xianbu to the extreme, chasing after the black shadow in front of him, but the speed of this black shadow was not below him, and it was certain that this person's skill was by no means below him.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but be slightly surprised, the Ji family actually hid such a master, and the aura of the other party seemed to be faintly similar to the other strange aura he felt last night.
