I learned from the people in the city that the army I was in was completely annihilated and was wiped out by the Mongols three days ago.I didn't care too much at the time, I was just glad that I was alive, and I was very anxious, trying every means to go back to Dadu and see that guy.But there was a big problem in front of me—I had nothing to prove my innocence, and besides, I was still wearing a military uniform. As long as I moved around, I would definitely attract the attention of the soldiers in the city.

Just as I was scurrying around like a headless fly, I was attracted by the crowd that was packed in front of a gorgeous house, so I squeezed into the crowd and wanted to see it with the mentality that there might be a glimmer of hope What happened, and then everything unfolded very dramatically.

The red hydrangea fell into my arms.In an instant, no one came up to fight with me, and everyone around me stepped back in an orderly manner, forming a circle around me.At that time, people's congratulatory sounds seemed to be a cry of despair in my heart.

The person who held this wedding invitation was the eldest lady of Lin Yuan's family, a well-known merchant in the city.After being "invited" in by them, I resisted with all my might, and explained to them that I was from Dadu and married, and that I would never marry Ms. Lin.But they just didn't listen, and Miss Lin was still standing there, covering her face with a handkerchief, and staring at me with her big eyes.This really makes me miserable.

In the end, they called a few young and strong servants to tie me up, and then picked up a wooden bucket and poured a viscous, turbid yellow liquid on my face. The liquid entered my mouth and was very bitter. , I felt my stomach tumbling, my eyes went dark, and I fell to the ground unconscious.

I think this is probably because I haven't eaten for several days, resulting in lack of energy and so on.

It was the next morning when I woke up again.I found myself in a woman's boudoir, and my hands were tied behind my back at the corner of the bed. The military uniform on my body was replaced by a white underwear, and my boots were taken away. I sat barefoot on the ground.The maid standing next to me smiled when she saw me wake up, saying hello to the uncle on the left and hello to the one on the right, which made me very dumbfounded.

At this time Lin Yuanwai strode in and greeted me for a while, and what he said afterwards made me confused.

"Mr. Li, no, no, uncle, how was my little girl last night?" He rubbed his hands together and piled up the flesh that was not much on his face with a smile.

"what?"

"Oh, sir, have you forgotten that you not only married your little girl last night, but also entered the bridal chamber with her?" He frowned slightly when he saw my reaction.

"Master Yuanwai, are you kidding me? How can I marry Miss Lin?"

"How is that impossible!" he yelled, "You have completely ruined my daughter's innocence, do you still want to deny it? I will give you half a month to think about what happened last night!" After finishing speaking, He shook his sleeves angrily and left.

I smiled wryly and shook my head. According to what he said, I was really with Miss Lin last night... hey, I still have him, how could I betray him?I know that I was drugged to ruin Miss Lin's innocence, but what can I do now?

In the afternoon, a man came to the room and said that Master Lin had sent me to untie me, but I could only spend the rest of the month here.Every day, a person sent by the forest staff will stand at the window to monitor my every move.I didn't dare to neglect too much, while thinking about how to escape from here, while thinking about what I should do if Ms. Ruolin really has something to do with me.In the past half a month, I have thought of many ways to escape, but the windows here are all nailed, and the height of the stacked tables and chairs cannot allow me to reach the roof tiles.There were a few times when I gave up on myself and felt that I had no face to see Song Yu, even though I returned safely.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, but I live in the pain of thinking about him every day. His every frown, every move, every word has been imprinted in my mind.

The forest member came out, and he was like the first day he saw me, first he asked me how I was, and then asked me how my memory was.After seeing me shake my head resolutely, his face sank immediately.

"Mr. Lin, I beg you, Li Yun, please let me go back. After I return to Dadu and find my wife, I will definitely come back and thank you with a lot of money!"

After hearing what I said, his face turned livid, and his hands kept trembling. "Good Li Yun! Thanks to the old man's family for treating you well, but you are ungrateful! Come on! Bring the stick, the old man will teach this heartless person a lesson today!"

"Hmph!" I sneered, "You are thinking about your daughter every word, have you ever thought about my wife? If he had parents, he would be more distressed than you, but both of his parents died. I am the only one left in the world to love him and protect him! I am the one who betrayed my heart. I have betrayed him since I came here. He wants me to go back safely. He does not want any glory and wealth, he only needs me! What about Miss, if I'm just a pauper, would she be willing to endure hardships with me? I, Li Yun, thought I had met a better daughter than her, but what happened? My wife is also a daughter in my eyes!"

Member Lin became more and more annoyed as he listened, and he no longer had the patience to wait for someone to bring a stick, so he rushed forward, picked up a stool, and was about to strike at me.

"Father!" After a shrill cry, a woman rushed in from the door and stood in front of me with her arms outstretched. "Daddy, I heard what Mr. Li said just now. I think you should also know that he must be a person who values ​​love and righteousness! If Daddy, you still insist on this, then even your daughter should fight together, because The husband was chosen by the daughter, and the final reason is still the fault of the daughter!" As she spoke, she picked up her skirt and was about to kneel.

Lin Yuanwai immediately put down the stool and supported his daughter: "Daughter, don't move, be careful of my poor grandson in your stomach!" Then he said to me, "Since you have your wife, And what about my daughter? She is pregnant after that night..."

My head started buzzing immediately, I never thought of this layer, how could it be such a coincidence, just right?Although when I was with Song Yu, I had already planned to end my descendants, and even though he also suggested that I marry a woman to continue the incense of the Li family, I can still be tender with him from time to time.However, why did I feel as if I had knocked over a five-flavored bottle when I heard such news today, it was very complicated.

"After that day, I tried to accept Ms. Lin, and her, the child in my stomach. After all, it was also my own flesh and blood. But don't worry, I haven't slept with Ms. Lin since then. I can't say anything except Interest from someone other than you.

After the child was born, Lin Yuanwai allowed me to go back to Dadu to find you.But when I went to the theater where you used to work, there was a change of owners. They only said that your voice was hoarse and you stopped singing, and no one knew about your whereabouts.Then, I also found the groom who was in the theater when you left the theater. He told me your address, but the house on the outskirts of your city was already full of weeds. I haven't been back, but I don't know that you have relatives in the country. You never mentioned it to me, and I am too embarrassed to ask.

I stayed in the city for a year, and I had no choice but to rush back until Lin Yuanwai sent a message saying that the child's condition had not improved after he had a fever.By the way, I named the child Li Nianyu, he is a boy.A few years later, Lin Yuanwai died of illness and he had only one daughter, Miss Lin, so I took over his business, and I would go to Dadu from time to time, trying to find out about you, but it was always in vain And back.Unexpectedly, it will be hundreds of years before we meet again. "There was a little regret in Li Yun's words.

Song Yu stood with a cold face. "If you want to find me, you will definitely find it. It's just that you don't pay much attention to me."

Li Yun was very surprised by his irrelevant tone: "I don't care? I gave you my whole heart, didn't you feel it? Did you ever know that in order to find out about you, I even went to Nianyu I didn't see the last side!"

Song Yu's shoulders trembled slightly, and then he said coldly: "That's what you deserve."

After Li Yun heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he seemed to have aged ten years. "Then, then you, no, it's me, the promises I made with you, you, can you forget?" He spoke incoherently and intermittently.He is afraid of him, afraid that he really doesn't love him anymore, so is everything he has done worth it?

"That's just a joke between the bed, who would take it seriously?" He suddenly smiled, very sadly.He staggered back, dragging his large theater robe, "I came here today to take your life, but for the sake of your wife's death and son's death, let's forget it."

Li Yun kept shaking his head with his head down, his expression was very painful, he wanted to escape, he didn't want to hear a word he said. "So, are you happy? So, are you happy?" He said, trying to restrain his emotions.

"Happy, why aren't you happy? I want to sing a few more songs! Haha!"

"Mr. Su." Song Yu turned to Su Zhu, he didn't want Li Yun to see his current expression, "Song Yu thanked Mr. Su for his life back then. Song Yu will definitely listen to Mr.'s advice and reincarnate as soon as possible." He bowed bow to him.

Su Zhuo smiled, and pulled the broken hair on his forehead behind his ears: "That would be the best."

Song Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, the next thing will be Mr. Lao. Song Yu will take a step ahead and say goodbye, sir, Mr. Luo." After the sound fell, his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared into the air.Unexpectedly, when he was leaving, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, slid down his cheek, mixed with rouge powder, and fell to the ground, leaving behind in the world.

Su Zhu stood up and called the cat, and the black cat ran towards him obediently after hearing it, and jumped into his arms.

As soon as he left, Li Yun seemed to lose his soul, without any support for his body, he shook a few times and fell directly on the bed behind him.He stared blankly at the floor and didn't speak for a long time.

"Mr. Li, you probably don't know something." Su Zhu said slowly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Actually, Mr. Song passed away a year after he left the theater, and the reason for this is not very clear. I'm hiding it from you, but Mr. Song insisted not to let me tell you. Now that Mr. Song has left, I will give you an explanation. Before Mr. Song died, he still missed you, but in the underworld, some idle ghosts He fanned the flames in his ears, turning the long longing in his heart into deep resentment, and he has been unwilling to reincarnate for a long time, and it is probably because of this emotion that he has maintained until now."

"No wonder, no wonder..." he muttered.

"It's almost dawn now. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's quickly return to the normal order of reincarnation. I will ask Xiao and you to go back and explain to Hades clearly about some things." Su Zhuo said, putting down his arms. The cat in the middle, let it squat next to Li Yun.

Afterwards, Li Yun nodded and disappeared together with Xiao.

The sky outside the window showed a few traces of white, implying that it would be dawn soon.Under the warm yellow candlelight in the room, the two on the bed were still asleep.There was a smile on the corner of Liu Li's mouth, probably she would never have nightmares again from now on.Su Zhuo and I stayed in the same place quietly, looking at the sky outside the window together, thinking about our own thoughts.

I don't know what Su Zhu is thinking at the moment, but after this incident, I have mixed feelings in my heart.I used to be an atheist, but today I have begun to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.At this point, I found that I was still a little confused and didn't think clearly.

"Do you know why Song Yu wants to kill Liu Li? Isn't his target only Li Yun?" I stood in the elevator, my eyes fixed on the constantly beating floor numbers.

"Remember the Miss Lin Li Yun mentioned? When Song Yu learned that she was going to be reincarnated in the underworld, she took this opportunity to attach the body of Miss Lin's reincarnation—Liu Li. After love turned into hatred, it was very difficult It's easy to get murderous."

"So that's how it is." I suddenly realized, "Hey, by the way, what did you feed Song Yu?"

"His voice has been stored with me for hundreds of years. It should be returned to the original owner. However, our pawn shop is not so easy to return the pawn without a price. There are special circumstances in special times!" Su Zhu said seriously road.

The elevator door opened, and I stepped out first, Su Zhu.As for the senior and Liu Li, according to what Su Zhu said, when Xiao (his little black cat demon) comes back, he will "return everything to Zhao" - send them both back to their respective homes.Xiao Xiao will probably not come back until another incense stick (about an hour).

The sky outside is still only dim, and the trees in front of the hotel are covered with dew, which proves that there was an unnoticed rain just last night.There are also red ribbons hanging on the branches - it is said that this is for the wish to come true in the new year, which is a good sign - I didn't expect that Tangtang Jifu would be so superstitious.I can't help but feel ridiculous.

The sky became extraordinarily blue after being washed by water, and the air was mixed with the smells of flowers, dew, green grass and soil.I stepped on the muddy dirt road carefully, and followed Su Zhu closely, for fear that if I was not careful, I would lose him and get lost in this deep mountain and wild forest alone.Su Zhu is also kind-hearted, he would stop every few steps and turn around to wait for me before continuing to walk.

At the foot of the mountain, Su Zhu put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked against the glare of the sun, "Do you want me to give you a ride? Or can you find a car to go back by yourself?"

"Ah? Could it be that you want to use the teleportation ability on me?" After seeing his magic before, I said those thoughts that I thought were impossible before.

"Idiot." He scolded with a smile, "I haven't slept all night, how can I get the energy for such a labor-intensive thing? Modern people use four-wheeled things for transportation, okay?" He said, shaking at me The car keys I just took out of my trouser pocket.

About a month later, I received a call from an extremely unfamiliar number.I hesitated for a while, but finally pressed the answer button.

"Hey……"

"Hey, Xiaochen, it's me, Li Hao!"

"Well, I haven't heard from you for a long time, where are you going to have fun again! Why don't you guys come out to get together today, I just happen to be free."

"Oh, no need, it's too far away, I'm in the Netherlands now."

"Huh? What's the stimulus for you? What are you doing all the way from Great Britain to Holland for no reason? Do you always go to see the windmills or go to the windmills?"

"No, I'm getting married!"

"Hehe, brother, today is not April Fool's Day! How old are you!"

"I'm serious! I called you as soon as I registered in the Netherlands!"

"...Is it Holland or Henan..."

"Netherlands……"

"...Then, say hello to sister-in-law for me..." I still didn't quite believe him.

"Um. It's not like that, it's a man, the junior we had a friendship with C Da last time, I met him again, and then I had the feeling that I have known him for a long time, even though the gender is the same, but still rubbish There was a spark... Well, don't tell my mother, her old heart is not very good..."

I was a little angry, and yelled into the microphone: "Then why tell me, my heart is not very good!!!!"

Then, with a snap, I hung up the phone.

I lay down on the table, carefully recalling the sentence he just said - I met the junior we had a friendship with C University last time, and I met him again, and then I felt like I had known him for a long time , even if the gender is the same, sparks are still sparked...

On the first sunny day after a cloudy rain, I ran to Su Zhu's place to drink tea in a hurry.After several contacts, I thought I knew Su Zhu very well.

While drinking tea, I talked about the last time my senior called me and told me that he was registered in the Netherlands.After hearing this, he took a sip of his tea and was not overly surprised. He just smiled lightly and changed the topic again.

"The weather is nice today, you can go to dry the quilt, otherwise it will get moldy."

"Well, yes, no, I said..."

He interrupted me, and said to himself: "By the way, take out the tapestry hanging on the wall, it hasn't been exposed to the sun for a long time..." After finishing speaking, he leaned over and picked up the crying baby on the ground. Black cat, "The sun is shining, everything is recovering, everything will change, isn't it? Everything will have a new beginning, isn't it?" He stood in the sun, facing me against the light, with a smile on his face, soft, Warm as sunshine.

I foolishly responded, but after thinking about it, I realized that something was wrong. Last time, the junior from the C University Fellowship jumped to his death half a year ago. That incident was quite a big deal...

He covered his lips and pecked lightly, like a dragonfly on the water.

"Goodbye." He smiled with tears and looked at him affectionately.

He just stared blankly, watching his figure gradually fade away, and finally retreat and disappear.He was powerless to squat down and cry with his head in his arms, and the tears that he had held back before collapsed in a dike.He was clearly right in front of his eyes, but he couldn't reach out his hand to grab it. After all, he was too cowardly and didn't have the courage to go forward. He hugged him tightly and put it on his shoulder, choking: "Don't go!" Well, stay with me, okay?"

The originally bustling lecture hall was suddenly silent when the bell rang, and all the students present sat upright.

The professor in class hurried up to the podium with the handout in his arms, with an apologetic smile on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm late." After speaking, he put down the handout in his arms, turned around, picked up the chalk and began to write on the blackboard.

"Hey, Yang Xi." He Lin, the classmate next door, lowered his voice, not wanting to break the silence of the classroom at the moment, "Do you know why Professor Meng came late?"

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment. Indeed, Professor Meng, who always arrives at the classroom 5 minutes early, came very late today. "It wouldn't be strange to be late once or twice now and then."

"No, you don't know. I heard from others that Professor Meng's youngest son died. He probably just rushed back from the funeral home. You don't know how strange that boy died." He Lin pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh, how weird." In order to cooperate with He Lin, he deliberately pretended to be very curious.At the same time, he began to search in his mind. Professor Meng's son, probably named Meng Ziyu, is about 18 years old. He has seen a photo of him given by his roommate. He is, um, very beautiful (?) boy, white and clean. Clean, very thin, and pretty handsome.

"Hey, this time it's very supernatural, be careful that he comes to you at night as a ghost! He, but, was bitten to death alive!"

"What? Bite to death!" Yang Xi cried out, causing all the students to look sideways at each other.

Professor Meng, who was writing on the blackboard, stopped, and with a "pop", the white chalk fell across the blackboard and fell to the ground.

......................................................

"Mr. Su, I really trouble you to make a special trip here." The middle-aged woman standing by the door had an apologetic smile on her face. The great news was that she had a little gray hair on her temples.If it wasn't for the strange death of her son, she, who never wanted to believe some ghosts and gods, would not have worked hard to find this somewhat capable celestial master through a large group of people.

"Well, it's nothing. I'll just take a look, don't you mind?" Before the master could answer, Su Zhu turned and walked into the house.

The placement of the spirit cards and coffins is correct, and the overall layout of the mourning hall is basically correct. What is so strange about it?As soon as I came in, I felt that there was nothing here, nothing, also, nothing.

Su Zhuo frowned and walked to the side of the coffin, half squatted down, and tapped the coffin lightly with his fingers.

Very crisp, not very heavy, it is simply, space...

"Mrs. Meng, where did the 'person' in the coffin go?"
