Pray for rain

Pei Yi and Yi Suan Xingjun stood in the slightly bleak courtyard, the originally verdant holly was also dimmed at this time, thick ice formed in the pond, the doors and windows of the mansion in front of them were closed, and the small kitchen behind the house was buzzing. Come bursts of cooking smoke.

Pei Yi closed her eyes, not daring to go forward.

Yi Suan Xingjun held his hand lightly, and sighed: "Your mother is short of time, so she rests in this room."

Hearing Yi Suan Xingjun's words, he went to the porch and wanted to look in through the window lattice, but he couldn't see anything.Suddenly, a person came over with a food box. When he saw Pei Yi, he was taken aback and asked, "Who?"

Pei Yi turned around and saw his face, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.All the gods in the heavens are not radiant and majestic, but the person in front of him has a gloomy complexion and dull eyes, and he is not even as energetic as ordinary mortals.

Hearing that he didn't answer, Geng Ze frowned slightly, and was about to ask him to leave when Yi Suan Xingjun behind him stepped forward and saluted Geng Ze: "Shenjun Geng Ze."

"Yisuan Xingjun?" It took a long time for Geng Ze to recognize him, "I don't know what's important for Yisuan Xingjun?"

Yi Suan Xingjun didn't have any good feelings for him in his heart, and he didn't want to explain too much, but said: "There is no other, I just want to visit the gods."

Geng Ze's complexion changed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The emperor said that he would not tell the heavens..."

"If he told Tianjun, then what you saw was not me, but the Martial God who came to arrest you." Yisuan Xingjun sneered.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Yi Suan Xingjun and Geng Ze, Pei Yi felt a little restless, turned around and opened the door.

Geng Ze rushed up and tightened the boy's wrist, saying word by word: "Don't go in."

Pei Yi didn't speak, but just lowered her head.The pain from the wrist bone made him purse his lips tightly.Seeing Geng Ze holding Pei Yi's wrist and refusing to let it go, Yi Suan Xingjun stepped forward and knocked Geng Ze's hand off with the hilt of his sword, and said in a cold voice: "I would like to advise God Geng Ze not to be too sharp in dealing with people and things."

The sound outside the door still woke up Geng Ze who didn't want to wake up, only heard a low and soft voice from inside the green gauze tent: "Who is outside?"

The voice was weak and gentle, Pei Yi took advantage of Geng Ze being stopped by Yi Suan Xingjun, and rushed in in no time.Layers of green gauze curtains concealed the figure of the person on the couch, but Chun Yuxian looked out from the gauze curtain and saw the figure of a young man. She was flustered and asked, "Who are you? Geng Ze where?"

Pei Yi was a little out of breath, and her eyes quickly became moist.He stretched out his trembling hand and lifted the veil in front of him.The woman on the couch leaned halfway against the eaves of the bed, with her hair in a loose bun and a blue overshirt, looking at him in panic.

Chunyu Xian somehow felt that the young man in front of her looked familiar. She refused to talk to Geng Ze much these days, and only hoped that she would die as soon as possible.She was terrified of the self that Pei Yu spoke of that day, and she was afraid every day.But when she saw the young man in front of her, she seemed to forget her fear in an instant, leaning on the edge of the bed and looking at him blankly.

Geng Ze Shenjun unblocked Yi Suan Xingjun and rushed in, and saw Chunyu Xian looking at Pei Yi, who was standing there stiffly, still holding the gauze tightly in his hands.

Geng Ze said angrily, "What exactly are you going to do?"

Hearing his agitated voice, Pei Yi turned her head subconsciously, and the moisture accumulated in her eyes slipped away in an instant.Geng Ze saw that his face was covered with tears and he lost his voice for a moment, but he saw the young man kneeling upright in front of the couch, holding Chun Yuxian's hand.

The warmth of her palm made Chunyu Xian a little overwhelmed, she gently wiped away the tears from Pei Yi's face, her tone was comforting: "Don't cry..."

Standing behind Geng Ze, Yi Suan Xingjun sighed slightly: "Ayi, are you still called mother?"

However, Pei Yi's lips were tightly pursed, tears kept pouring out of his eyes, but he didn't utter a word.

Isn't it gone?Geng Ze said that the child was obviously not kept, Chunyu offered back the warmth of the handshake, choked up and said, "... Ah Yi?"

Pei Yi burst into tears, buried her face in her palm, and said in a trembling voice, "Mother."

Geng Ze at the side was stunned for a while, and looked at Yi Suan Xingjun, but he saw Yi Suan Xingjun frowned at Pei Yi.

Chunyu Xian wanted to make a sound to coax him, but he felt a pain coming from his chest, and his limbs and bones ached along with it.The pain made her wake up suddenly, and Pei Yu's words that day reappeared in her ears: "You exchanged twelve children for the lives of your own children for your own selfishness."

She suddenly let go of Pei Yi's hand, and shouted hoarsely: "Go! Go! My child is already dead!"

Chunyu Xian's reaction caught everyone present off guard. Geng Ze looked at her who seemed to be insane, and said, "Xian Niang?"

After she yelled this, she suddenly calmed down.Yi Suan Xingjun looked at her eyes at this moment, and suddenly remembered that that day in the palace, the firm-minded deity had the same eyes.

Pei Yi still wanted to get close to her: "Mother, I am Pei Yi, Tianjun saved me, I am alive and well."

Chunyu Xian looked at him coldly: "What do you believe in what other people say? My child is dead long ago, I don't want to see you, you go away."

Yisuan Xingjun suddenly seemed to have a connection with her. He pulled Pei Yi up who was full of doubts, and said, "I'm bothering the god today, and we will leave now."

Pei Yi refused to leave, and still looked back at Chun Yuxian, but she didn't see any reluctance on her face.

On the way back to the heaven, Pei Yi didn't say a word.

Yi Suan Xingjun knew that he felt uncomfortable, but what Pei Yu explained was only half completed.He patted Pei Yi's head softly, and said in a gentle voice: "Ayi, Geng Ze Shenjun erased your mother's memory, you are indeed her child."

He looked up at Yisuan Xingjun, and said shyly, "I know... the moment I see her, I can't help but want to get close to her."

Yi Suan Xingjun was speechless, and asked him after a long while: "Ayi, if I tell you now, is there a way to save your mother?"

Pei Yi grabbed his hand suddenly: "What way?"

Yi Suan Xingjun's expression was complicated: "Your mother's soul is intact, it's just that the body is inconvenient. If you can find a body that can accommodate her soul to replace it..."

Pei Yi interrupted him, his eyes full of disappointment: "Did the emperor ask you to test me?"

"Ayi..."

Pei Yi let go of his hand, took a step back, and smiled bleakly: "Master, you taught me to grow up, and you don't believe me? Do you think I would do that kind of thing?"

Yi Suan Xingjun knew that it would be unpleasant to ask this question, so he sighed, "Ayi, that's your mother."

Pei Yi said: "Master and the emperor are afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of my mother? Then master can rest assured, but since I was young, I have always taken master's words to heart. I have never dared to forget the benevolence taught by master. I will not Use innocent people to exchange my mother's life."

Seeing his body trembling slightly, Yisuan Xingjun couldn't explain it.He didn't want to agree to Pei Yi, but Pei Yi always wanted to confirm whether Pei Yi was worth training and whether he could shoulder the responsibility.The person who brought Pei Yi to meet Chunyu Xian could only be him.However, no matter what Pei Yi's choice is, she will inevitably be disappointed with him.

Pei Yi choked with sobs and said, "Since we have returned to the heaven, master should go back to Tiantong Palace to recuperate. Master is not in good health, so don't worry me."

Without waiting for Yisuan Xingjun to answer, he left in a hurry.Fortunately, seeing that Pei Yi was walking in the direction of Zhong Shan, Yi Suan Xingjun stood there for a long time until he could no longer see Pei Yi before returning to Tiantong Palace.

It was not until the night was dark that Pei Yi, who was wandering outside, returned to Zhong Shan's temple.

Pei Yu was waiting for him under the pine tree in the courtyard, seeing that he had returned to Zhongshan, his choice was self-evident.

Seeing Pei Yu, Pei Yi saluted and said, "Emperor, don't worry, I'm back."

Pei Yu sighed, "Ah Yi, I forced your master to go."

His expression didn't move, he just cupped his hands and said, "I'm tired, so I'll take my leave first."

Pei Yu didn't stop him, but said: "Don't tell Xie Wei about this, he is the No.13 person who was killed by your mother before."

Pei Yi froze, thinking of the cynicism and sarcasm she had made towards Xie Wei before, Xie Wei laughed it off.A snowflake fell on his forehead, making him shiver heavily.

After finishing what he had to say, Pei Yu went back to the room.And Pei Yi stood in the ice and snow of Zhongshan, unable to recover for a long time.

After Pei Yi and Yi Suan Xingjun left, Geng Ze was stabbed by Chun Yuxian's cold face, he turned his head and didn't dare to look at her: "Do you remember the past?"

Chunyu Xian said in a low voice, "I didn't remember anything."

Then why are you so sure that Pei Yi is not your child?

Before Geng Ze asked, Chunyu Xian said, "Ah Yi is indeed our child."

Hearing her confession, and thinking of the cold war-like atmosphere between the two these past few days, Geng Ze seemed to have thought of something, so he didn't dare to ask again, but only heard Chunyu Xian ask: "Husband, what kind of person was I in the past?" .”

Sitting beside her couch, Geng Ze recalled meeting her in Yicheng in the past, and replied: "He is a gentle and kind person."

Chunyu Xian asked: "What gentle and kind person would have the heart to kill 13 people?"

Geng Ze said: "You just... like children too much."

Chunyuxian didn't speak, he didn't know whether to believe it or not, after a long time she said: "Husband, I'm hungry."

In the afternoon, he overturned the meal he cooked for Chunyu Xian during a dispute with Yi Suan Xingjun. It has been a long time now, so she is naturally hungry.Geng Ze tucked the quilt for her, and said softly: "I'll cook for you."

Chunyu Xian smiled slightly, and said, "I want to eat egg custard, and I also want to eat shrimp."

Seeing her smile for the first time these days, Geng Ze was overjoyed, thinking that seeing Pei Yi was still alive inspired her to have the desire to live.So Geng Ze stumbled to his feet and said, "I'll make you steamed eggs with shrimps, and I'll be back soon."

Chunyu Xian said with a smile, "Okay."

When Geng Ze put down the green gauze curtain and stepped out the door, Chun Yuxian suddenly stopped him: "Husband, thank you."

Geng Ze closed the door: "I'll be back soon."

At midnight, the moon was shining brightly in the sky, and only a few sparse stars shimmered.

Pei Yu suddenly heard Geng Ze calling him in the human world. Seeing that Xie Wei was sleeping soundly, he put on his clothes lightly, and called Pei Yi to go to the human world to check.

Geng Ze, who was sitting on the couch with disheveled hair, was holding a somewhat stiff body in his arms, and his words were barely audible.

The moonlight passed through the window lattice, illuminating the pale face of the woman in Tsing Yi in his arms, who had obviously been dead for a long time.The head rested on Geng Ze's arm and leaned back slightly, revealing the bruises on his neck.

Pei Xuan frowned, and saw an overturned bowl of egg custard on the ground, with a few shrimps mixed in it, and the aroma could not be smelled after cooling.Looking at the tear-stained Pei Yi behind her, Pei Yu couldn't help sighing softly, and exited the door.
