[Qin Dynasty] Hu Gongzi's Growth History

"what?"

Hu Hai repeated it in surprise, but the female ghost's indifferent appearance seemed to be as simple as eating and drinking.

"What you want to ask me to do is to let me burn your body? But, wouldn't you just..." Even though Hu Hai was afraid of these things and never cared about them, he still vaguely sensed that the body is very important to you. Very important to them.

"Yes." The woman nodded, turned around and walked in front, the arc made her white clothes flutter gently, fading away the blood and terror, Hu Hai barely suppressed the panic in his heart and followed.

"The existence of the body is not the only restraint for ghosts, but it is useful for most ghosts who have obsessions after death. Most of these obsessions rely on the body after death. Burned and disappeared." The moonlight passed through the female ghost's body, leaving an elegant silver color, and there was only one reflection in the silent palace road.

"And you belong to the second type?" Hu Hai guessed, since she wanted him to burn her body, it proved that her obsession had not been fulfilled.

But why do ghosts that exist because of their obsession actively seek relief when their obsession has not been completed?

"No, my obsession was completed a few days ago." Unexpectedly, the female ghost denied Hu Hai's guess.

"But you haven't disappeared." Because of the female ghost's more normal appearance, Hu Hai's tense emotions also tended to stabilize.Wu'er, who was held in his arms, had been sitting quietly in Hu Hai's arms, with his little face leaning against Hu Hai's chest, listening to the heartbeat.

Since Wu'er's body has become no different from ordinary people to Hu Hai, Wu'er has become more and more fond of physical contact with Hu Hai.

"Because I drowned in the water." Speaking of the cause of her death, the female ghost's words were very flat, as if she was telling a simple past event.

"I was an ordinary maid in the palace 20 years ago. Because of my dexterity, I was favored by my master. I had an arranged marriage, and my life was pretty good. Then one day, I died, at the hands of my good sister. Xu It is because of this resentment that I can continue to survive in this way."

"After waking up, there was only one thought in my mind. I wanted to know what happened to her in the end. This thought tormented me day and night, and made me frantically search the entire Qinhuang Palace, but I couldn't find her again. After searching for a year without finding her, I have been wandering here, gradually losing my mind. Until recently, I suddenly smelled him on you, and I suddenly woke up."

"Her? Who?" Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully for a moment. There shouldn't be a maid of this age around him.

"My fiancé." As the female ghost's voice fell, she stopped, looked at the graceful water waves in Houhuayuan and said softly, "I wanted to catch you and question you, but there is something weird about you. , but he couldn’t get close no matter what. After guarding there for a few days, I saw his trace.”

"He has changed, but he hasn't changed. When I saw him again, I suddenly felt that those resentments were much lighter, and I no longer had the original resentment."

"I want to really fall asleep. For me now, my obsession has been completed. It's just that I existed because of resentment and became strong because of being close to water. If I didn't completely burn the body, I'm afraid I will never have peace Day. Therefore, my son, I hope you will help me disappear."

"I haven't really fallen asleep in years, years."

The female ghost looked at the lake and said quietly, her voice was full of tranquility and serenity. Although such an adjective seemed very strange to a ghost, at this moment, Hu Hai completely lost the feeling of fear in his heart.While thinking about the people around him who fit this age, he said, "You don't want him to know your existence? You also don't want to know why he entered the palace?"

If it is someone close to Hu Hai, then there is and can only be an eunuch.Most of the eunuchs were raised since childhood, so the reason why her fiancé specially mixed in is very strange.No one would be willing to cut himself a knife, especially in that position.

"What does that matter?" The female ghost knelt down and looked at Hu Hai, the tenderness between her brows and eyes was like water, beautiful and moving. "I have been wandering in pain for more than ten years, lost my mind, and even forgotten a lot of things. It is a fluke to be able to recover now. But if I continue to exist, it is inevitable that one day I will be completely bloodthirsty. Come and end it."

"Is he safe and why? Although I am concerned about it, I am not qualified to ask. People and ghosts have different paths, so I can't harm him." She stood up, raised her hand slightly, and with her gentle movements, the surface of the lake There were slight waves, and then the waves became bigger and bigger. A white bone floated quietly from the water, and then appeared in front of the two of them in a blink of an eye.

"I may have some ability, but this flame is still our nemesis, so this last step still depends on you, please do it." shine.

Hu Hai only felt that his throat was choked, as if it was deeply blocked by something, he opened and closed his mouth slightly, and finally walked outside with Wu'er in his arms.

In the entire Houhua Garden, candles were placed only on the pillars outside.

"Must, really, do you want to burn it~" Wu'er raised her small head and looked at Hu Hai, as if she didn't understand something, "She can, live a good life, so does Wu'er~" The small tremolo at the end has an inexplicable Weeping.

"Wu'er, that's different." Hu Hai said this sentence hoarsely, but after he finished speaking, he didn't know what to say in the next sentence. Such things were too profound for him, even Hu Hai couldn't understand. understand such complex emotions.

He was still too young.

Holding the fire source and returning to the lake, Hu Hai found that the bone was covered with dead branches, and the white snow beside the bone disappeared.Hu Hai took a deep look at the female ghost, squatted down and began to try to ignite the dry branches and leaves that the female ghost had brought from nowhere.As the small flame quietly ignited, it spread little by little, licking more places.

"You will be found if you burn it here." Although Hu Hai started, looking at the surrounding environment, the patrolling guards will come after a short while, and the high burning flame will also attract others to come over.

The female ghost shook her head, "At least no one will find out until the burning is over." Hu Hai didn't ask any more questions, and stood at a distance with Wu'er in his arms, watching the flame grow bigger and start to burn quietly with the female ghost Lift up the bones below.

She faded.

After all, Hu Hai couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

"Qingnu." She smiled quietly, and gave another blessing, "Qingnu's wish has been fulfilled, thank you for your kindness, young master."

"Aren't you willing to tell me who that is?" Hu Hai asked.

Standing by the flames, Qing Nu looked at the puzzled expression of the child he had been caring for, and shook his head quietly after a while, "Since Qing Nu hopes to disappear, I don't want him to have any contact with Qing Nu again. Young master, not everyone It is different from the child in your arms, but you also need to be careful, maybe there is more than Qing Nu in this palace."

"May you be well."

Following these gentle words, Qingnu's beautiful figure shattered little by little, turning into little milky white light and dissipating, swaying with the cold wind and snow, and then ceased to exist.

Hu Hai looked at the mess on the ground, but strangely, the ground that was supposed to be blackened by the flames gradually returned to normal, leaving only the scattered dead branches.

With pale lips, Hu Hai kicked all the dead branches into the lake, took a deep look for the last time, turned around and stumbled away.The wind and snow became more and more severe, and the snowflakes swirled and fell, covering all traces in white.

Along the way, I could only hear the small sobbing sound, which was almost inaudible buried in the clothes.

"I don't understand~" a tender voice asked with tears.

"I don't understand either." Another slightly immature voice said the same.

This snowy night was unforgettable for Hu Hai. At first he left with fear, but now he returns with a feeling of discomfort.Lying on the bed tossing and turning, he finally pulled up the quilt and covered his head in frustration, even the moonlight outside the window made him uncomfortable.

The little chubby baby has been lying on Hu Hai's chest silently since he came back. I don't know how long it took before Hu Hai felt a little sleepy, but was immediately woken up by Zhang Huan'er.

He struggled to open his eyes, glanced out the window, and suddenly sat up in fright, "Zhang Huan'er, why didn't you call me earlier?" It's dawn now!

"Don't worry, my lord. An hour ago, Mr. Fusu sent someone over, saying that my husband can't come to class today, so I will suspend it for one day today." Zhang Huan'er said calmly, and turned around to fetch clothes for Hu Hai, intending to serve him.

After Hu Hai heard the news, his spirits immediately sank down. What happened last night still remained in his heart, which made him unable to lift his spirits anyway. He let Zhang Huan'er dress him with his head drooping.

Zhang Huan'er bent down to fasten Hu Hai's belt. Following his movements, the collar might not have been adjusted properly, and a jade pendant slipped out from his neck. Although the style is simple, it is very attractive because of its clear texture. .

Hu Hai glanced subconsciously, vaguely saw two familiar characters, and was turning his head to take the jewelry from Zhang Huan'er's hand, when suddenly, like a thunderbolt slipped through his heart, he immediately stayed where he was, and there was no hand outstretched. any action.

20 years ago, familiar taste, men, eunuchs... If you calculate it this way, who can be more suitable than Zhang Huan'er?

And that jade pendant engraved with the word Qing Nu!
