۩ Volume 1 "The Return"۩ Chapter 28 Farewell
"Your mother...... You're so afraid of your mother, isn't she treating you badly?"
For some reason, Xiao Youran's heart is now full of a sense of loss, and the previous soul contract has long been forgotten.
"No, my mother is very good to me, it's just ......"
Xiao Ling'er finally couldn't hold back, and two lines of clear tears slid down her delicate cheeks onto the skirt, making the original dark color appear deeper as if dyed with light ink.
"Just what?"
Although Xiao Youran likes to get to the bottom of it, he doesn't want to stimulate Xiao Ling'er's emotions at this moment, but there is a voice in his heart that tells him that he must ask, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease in this life, and the words blurted out subconsciously.
"It's just...... Sometimes, I always feel like she's not my mother! I know it's ridiculous, ridiculous, ......."
Xiao Ling'er's voice was bitter, and she was already crying, "Woo...... But I don't know why I feel the way I feel.
My father died after my mother gave birth to me, and my mother raised me alone since I was a child, taught me to read and write, and taught me to practice, but I was always lazy and slippery, greedy for play and greed, and took her words as the wind in my ears. I'm sorry for my mother, I'm not filial, I'm a bad boy...... Wow......"
Xiao leisurely watched her cry sadly and feel uncomfortable, and couldn't help but squat down slightly and hold her in his arms, letting her head rest on her shoulder. Smelling the faint girl's body fragrance flowing from her hair, gently patting her soft shoulders and back that sparked when she sobbed, I don't know what it feels like in my heart.
"Don't cry! at least you still have a mother...... Your mother is so good to you, even if you didn't do well before, you still have a lot of time to reverse it in the future, you can be coquettish and filial at any time, what else do you have to cry?
I don't even know who my mother is, whether she is alive or dead, and I don't know if I was filial piety before I was born, and if I want to cry, I should cry! If you cry again, I will cry too......"
Xiao Youran whispered in her ear, and pretended to sniffle twice.
"It's pitiful, it makes my sister feel distressed when she hears it...... Don't worry, I'll do what I promised you! When I can get out of my body, I'll come to you, and when the time comes, we'll find a way to help you recover your memory, and you promised to accompany me to the mortal world to play, don't forget!"
His words seemed to have magic power, and Xiao Ling'er didn't know if she really figured it out, or if she was afraid that he would cry with him, so she stopped crying.
She raised a small hand like a big sister who cared for her brother, caressed his cheek, and barely squeezed out a smile that looked better than crying, but there seemed to be a strong attachment hidden in her big eyes that were as clear as morning dew after the rain. It's obviously a delicate girl with bright teeth and bright eyes, but for some reason, she gives Xiao Youran a deep sense of intoxication.
"Remember not to forget~, if you forget, I will throw you into the sea to feed the turtle!"
Xiao Ling'er continued, the smile on her face had obviously become more real and happier, but a faint purple gold light flashed in the center of her eyebrows.
"Come on, how many times have I told you, it's not a turtle in the sea, it's called a turtle!"
Xiao Youran didn't think about it, pouted and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, his whole body shook like an electric shock, his eyes were confused, and Mu Leng was there, but this time there was no same purple gold light in his eyebrows.
"If you forget?...... If you have forgotten?!...... If you forget!!"
This sentence penetrated his body like a sharp cone, penetrated his heart, and penetrated into his atrium, this kind of heart-piercing pain is not at all what can be described by the heart like a knife cut, and the heart is like a knife, which makes him feel unbearable and unforgettable.
"If I forget?...... If I forget...... If I forget?!"
A voice from the bottom of his heart in the pain was like a magic spell that kept repeating in the mind of Xiao Youran, roaring, and the raging waves swept through all his consciousness, leaving only this voice that seemed to be mourning, as if lamenting, and as if questioning.
"Puff~!cough, how could I forget?!!Puff~!Puff......"
In the crazy roar, Xiao leisurely sprayed three mouthfuls of blood, and the bright and dazzling blood stained the large piece of clothes on his chest, and also splashed the face of the stunned little Ling'er who didn't have time to retreat. Warm blood droplets slid like warm tears across her delicate face, gently dripping on the "ink halo" that had been wet in her skirt before, making the blood-red bewitching in the depths.
"You, you, you promise, you promise, why are you so excited? Look at you make me all over my body, oh yo~!
After a short period of astonishment, Xiao Ling'er angrily kicked on the ass of Xiao Youran, who was panting on his chest, kicked him to a big horse, and took out a snow-white velvet towel from his bag and kept wiping his face and clothes, turned around and walked back.
"Ouch~!Do you have any sympathy, I vomited blood and you still kicked...... Hey, wait for me~!"
Xiao leisurely hummed and got up, complaining and chasing after him, but buried the change that happened just now deep in his heart without mentioning it.
"Hmph~!You deserve it! I see that you are full of energy, and you won't be able to die for a while!"
"But I've been kicked by you now, with internal injuries and external injuries, and I'm not far from death. ”
"Then what do you want? It's a big deal, I'm going to cry at your grave when you're dead!"
"People are dead, crying graves have a fart, I can't see it!, or you can pay me some medical expenses, I'll go back to a good doctor to see, maybe I'll be rejuvenated, hehehehe......"
"Look at your philistine face! Dream on, if you don't ask for money, you won't give it if you want to die~!"
"Yo~, this word is used well, hehe, really knowledgeable!"
"That's nature! Haven't you heard that good people don't live long, and disasters live for a thousand years? I think you can live for a thousand years, like a turtle~......!
"Hey, don't mention turtles to me, I hate turtles the most!"
"I'm partial to mention~!lalala...... Big tortoise ......"
"And the turtle is not in the sea, and the sea is the turtle......"
"What? Have I ever mentioned the sea?"
"Nothing...... I misheard......"
"Stupid ......"
When Xiao Youran followed Xiao Ling'er back to Yue's house, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Originally, Yue's house was located in the depths of a narrow alley, and if there were no special circumstances, there were almost no two people passing in front of the door all day long, and it could not accommodate slightly larger vehicles.
Now the alley has long disappeared, and the original houses around it have been razed to the ground at some point, the ground is flat, and the area is empty, just like a newly built square, leaving only the Yue family's house standing alone in the center.
At this moment, the square was crowded with people, flags were unfurled, and the Yin soldiers of the underworld were lined up in a neat square array on the periphery, and there were 100,000 people in that lineup.
Lord Bao at the front of the array stood first, and it was not the high-level of the underworld who fell half a step behind him, but nine people of different ages, tall, short, fat and thin, but all wearing official uniforms, among which there were eight men and one woman, and the woman was dressed in a Xuansu palace costume and stood at the end of everyone. Cui Jue, Zhong Kui, Niu Tou Ma Mian and others were dispersed to the various Yin soldiers in front of the formations to be responsible for the command.
Outside the door of Yue's Mansion in the center of the array, another team of relatively small queues stood not far from the underworld lineup led by Lord Bao.
Different from the underworld, the leader was a handsome war horse with a white mane, black hair, and red hooves, but there was no one on the horse's back, followed by an array of about 1,000 soldiers, wrapping a huge luan cha pulled by nine pitch-black unicorns in the center of the array.
But what makes people's eyes shine is not the luxury of the luan, but the fact that this queue of thousands of people is composed of all beautiful women, and it is really a group of beautiful women, who are fat and thin, each with its own merits! The eyes of the Yin soldiers of the underworld are straight, and some of them even drool or nosebleeds.
It's just that these beauties who pick out and throw them in the mortal world are all expressionless at the moment, raising their heads and chests, standing solemnly in their queue positions, and the uniform black smoke Luo light shirt is tightly wrapped by the silver armor hidden outside, and they refuse to leak any spring light, which looks a little bad.
Just as Xiao Ling'er silently walked through the underworld Yin soldier phalanx with a smile and walked towards Luan Yuan in the middle of the silver-armored female soldier queue, the door of Yue's house opened gently, and Ember was also supported by a female soldier and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Yue Daring followed behind with a panicked face, looking a little helpless, but Mrs. Yue did not appear, thinking that she should be quietly watching from a hidden place somewhere in the courtyard.
"Ember to see Madame, subordinates are not doing well, please punish Madame!"
Ember gritted his teeth in front of him, half-knelt down, lowered his head and said in a solemn voice.
"It's none of your business, it's up to me. ”
A lazy and majestic woman's voice came from within the luan, and then a ghostly light shot out from behind the black gauze curtain of the chariot window, directly into the center of her eyebrows.
"Thank you, Madame! Mrs. Lao has spent time on cultivation, and her subordinates are ashamed of it, and they are uneasy!"
After the ghost light submerged, Ember's body obviously improved a lot in an instant, his waist straightened a little, and he thanked him with a solemn expression.
"It's okay! Let's go down and heal our wounds. ”
The woman was still speaking in the luan, and even the curtain did not move at all, and she could not see what the people inside looked like.
"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"
Ember saluted again, got up and walked slowly, but instead of walking to the back of the group, he walked to the front, saddled on his saddle, turned over his horse, and sat on the empty mount, which turned out to be her handsome horse.
Xiao Ling'er first sent Xiao leisurely to the side of Yue Daring, who was watching in a panic, and whispered a few words to him, waved his hand, and then walked to Luan Ran alone in three steps and one turn. gently lifted the hem of his skirt, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and made a senior salute to the window before speaking slowly.
"Ling'er visits her mother, Ling'er is not doing well, please punish her mother!"
Xiao Ling'er pouted, shook her head and pleaded guilty to the appearance of Ember.
"You...... Do you still have the face to come back to me?"
The woman in the chariot was obviously angry, her voice was slightly sharp, and the cultivation was so drumming that the whole Luan chariot shook, and the curtains were carried away by the air current.
By the moment the corner of the curtain was raised, Xiao Youran faintly saw that there was a woman in palace clothes who was originally half-lying inside and sat up straight because of anger, but in the blink of an eye, the curtain hung down again, and she didn't have time to look carefully.
However, although he didn't see the woman's face clearly, for some reason, only the vague outline made him feel a sense of déjà vu, and he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart.
"Mother, you're not fair! You just ...... with the birds. Uh, that's not what Aunt Ember said, how did I change that?"
Xiao Ling'er stood up suddenly, and the deference she pretended to be just now had already been thrown to her heels, her mouth pursed, and she pinched Xiao Man's waist and shouted.
"Bastard! When did I send you to do an errand, where did you come from? It is clear that you ran out by yourself, and now you still don't repent! Hmph~......"
"If you don't learn and don't have skills, you don't have respect for your elders, you don't have rules, see me go back and don't break your legs~!"
Xiao Ling'er learned the woman's tone and voice, and said the latter sentence almost in no particular order with her.
"Mother~~!You've been saying this for thousands of years! You say you're not tired, I'm still tired when I listen to it, my ears are already calloused!"
Xiao Ling'er rolled her eyelids and pouted.
"You ......"
The woman inside the chariot only shouted a word angrily, but suddenly there was no sound, as if two coughing sounds that were deliberately concealed very lightly came from it.
"Stop messing around!
When Xiao Ling'er still wanted to play with her temper and say a few more presumptuous words, the sound of weak mosquitoes and flies from embers sounded in her ears. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, she covered her small mouth with her little hand, and then, as if her butt was on fire, she jumped on the luan chariot with a rise and fall.
She was so anxious that she didn't even have time to reach out for the curtain, so she screamed and crashed into it, through the gap between the opening and closing of the door curtain, Xiao Youran vaguely saw that she seemed to have collided with the woman inside, and then there was no sound inside.
After a long time, there was no sound in Luan, and Ember and the silver-armored female soldiers still stood in place with expressionless faces, as if what had happened before had nothing to do with them.
But the underworld was a little overwhelmed, and the few people standing behind Master Bao looked at the Yin soldiers one by one, grinning, looking at the green light of the silver-armored female soldiers, covering their faces, shaking their heads, and being grumpy and eager to slap them all to death!
Master Bao also saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, and nodded at Zhong Kui in desperation. Zhong Kui got the signal, and took out a small drum from his bosom and shook it in the wind, and the drum suddenly became a big drum with the height of a bucket and the thickness of a water tank.
Something strange happened, the drum was beaten three times but no sound was made, only an invisible circle of ripples spread rapidly from the drum to all sides. All the Yin soldiers who had been rippled by the ripples were all motionless as if they had been evil, their eyes were straight, their eyes were dull, and even their expressions became as blank as zombies.
"Hmph~!Even the dementor drum has moved out, and the control of the underworld is really getting worse and worse, and if it continues like this, I don't think there is any need for this underworld to exist!"
With a cold snort from the woman who had not spoken for a long time, a circle of thick qi visible to the naked eye swept the entire square in an instant like a shock wave.
The soul drum was hit by the air wave and rolled back like a remnant leaf in the wind, and everyone present from Cui Jue down was knocked out with a mouthful of blood mist, only the ten people in front of him, such as Master Bao, and Xiao Youran were not affected in any way, and even Yue Daring was not spared.
"Madame's anger is calm, it is because we are not strict in discipline, and we will definitely be severely punished afterwards! I respectfully ask Madame to move to the inner courtyard of the prefecture for a short rest, the lower officials have prepared the banquet and the palace, I don't know what Madame thinks?"
Seeing this, Master Bao had no choice but to take two steps forward and bow down to Luan.
"No need! you have that time and leisure, it's better to help your subordinates find more family members, so as to save yourself from being embarrassed, hum!" the woman in Luan snorted coldly.
"Uh...... This...... Follow Madame's teachings!"
Lord Bao, please take a fart and eat it if you can't drive it, a black face is black and red, and the nine people behind him can't help but laugh when they see it.
"That kid who laughs leisurely, come here!"
The woman no longer bothered with Lord Bao, and summoned in harmony.
"I~?!"
Xiao Youran pointed to his nose in surprise, and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he had to put on a posture of Yushu facing the wind and walking leisurely, and slowly paced towards Luan, but his heart was quite nervous.
"Hurry up, you haven't eaten in the morning?"
There was a woman's impatient urging from Luan.
