After I became sick and weak, I fell in love with the male partner

But at that time, it was so reassuring, big hands holding small hands, not so much support, as it is two homeless bachelors supporting each other to live.

Three years ago, a person died in Ranzhou City.

At that time, Ranzhou had already become the number one city in the southeast. It was far away from the capital, far away from the Demon Realm, and close to the sea. It was a metropolis where immortal cultivators and ordinary people mixed.What makes Ranzhou City even more famous is a flower building called Zuifanjian.

Every night, the drunken world is full of people, changing cups and drinking cups, and countless people come here to be famous.

Until one day, a person died in an upper room of the Drunken Mortal Room. He was pushed from upstairs and fell to his death.But at that time, there was only one prostitute in the house, the proprietress of Drunk World, named Du Juan.

The man who died was a second-generation ancestor of Ranzhou City. His father was a second-rank official in the current dynasty, and his brother was a county magistrate in the city. He often did dirty things such as robbing women and oppressing people.People all believed that it was the woman who pushed the man down, applauded in their hearts, and sympathized with the woman on the surface, but secretly wished that the woman would be executed and the flower building closed.

However, when Wu Zuo came to examine the body, he stated that the man fell downstairs after being strangled alive, and the hands that strangled the man were his own.

The case came to a standstill just like that, but the party involved, Du Juan, was still running a flower house, glamorously attracting the next batch of guests.

As a result, rumors began to spread that there was a ghost in the flower building or that the proprietress was a ghost. The second generation ancestor committed suicide because Du Juan was bewildered.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoshuang nodded clearly, Hualou was so popular that it cut off many people's money and hooked too many men's souls.

No matter who it is, it is hoped that this flower building will close down quickly, and the best way to make such an entertainment place close down quickly is to be haunted.

But this matter is indeed strange. First of all, not to mention strangling her second generation ancestor alive, it is that Du Juan's reaction afterwards was too indifferent, and she dared to continue to open the flower house. Dare to come, there are not many!

These people seemed to be possessed by a voodoo, and they jumped to the gentle village one after another. Isn't it said that the ancients were most taboo about ghosts and gods?

"It wasn't until the county magistrate came to try it in person, and Wu Zuo changed his words directly. Du Juan was convicted almost instantly." Xu Yu continued, took the hot tea from Yu Shutong, and gently placed it in front of the two of them. , "Du Juan was sentenced to fire at the stake and burned alive in front of the public, and the drunken world was wasted for some time."

Chu Linyuan caught the point of the words: "Was it abandoned for a while?"

"Yes, less than two months ago, Zuifanjian suddenly opened again. A woman who looked exactly like Du Juan came. She claimed to be Du Juan's twin sister, named Du Yilou. Du Yilou didn't sell herself. He doesn't sell art, but only sells his ability to see the sky and people's fate, which has attracted many unbelievers. The county magistrate of Ranzhou is one of them. He went to divination in the open, but in fact he was looking for faults. Du Yilou did not come up. Vague, and bluntly said, "After autumn, it's a chicken burning butt pretending to be a phoenix." "Xu Yu's tone was well rendered, and he paused for a moment on purpose before continuing to describe with the familiar tone of a storyteller, "Guess what happened next?"Not long after this incident, the county magistrate's mansion was flooded, and the fire burned for three days and three nights. The county magistrate's family had no survivors. At the same time, his father, the second-rank official, was dismissed because of corruption and bribery, and was exiled to the north.This time, Drunken World is on fire again. "

The first time it became popular because of the flower house business, and the second time it became popular because of divination.Du Juan and Du Yilou's looks are almost the same, when others saw it, they thought it was a murder of a wronged person or her sister's revenge for her sister.

"What does that have to do with the fact that Ranzhou City doesn't live with outsiders?" Lin Xiaoshuang listened for a long time, but only heard some vague outlines. Maybe it was Xu Yu's occupational disease of storytelling, and he always liked to put the most important things at the end.

Xu Yu yelled in frustration, and then quickly explained: "Yes, I said too much. Since then, two people will die in Ranzhou every night, no more, no less, exactly two people, and the dead are not locals. , and they are all men. The corpses will be hung on the east wall, and a word will be engraved on the forehead of each corpse."

It turns out that this is the reason why outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight.

Lin Xiaoshuang asked, "What word?"

"Whatever method of death will be engraved, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are arranged in order, and most of them are tortured by fire." Xu Yu continued to explain, "Fire punishment is burning to death with fire, and golden punishment is to cut open the internal organs with a knife. The punishment is drowning alive, the wooden punishment is to strangle the neck with a rope, and the soil punishment is to bury alive. All of them are foreigners without exception, and they are all men. Therefore, Ranzhou City does not allow outsiders to board. Who wants to suddenly... "

When Xu Yu said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the two monks in front of him: "When someone went to invite the immortal teacher on the top of the mountain, I thought it was very reliable because ordinary people couldn't see any cultivation. It was also a one-night job. The matter suddenly disappeared. The abdomen was cut open..."

Just recalling that scene, Xu Yu's expression became ugly. He only remembered that he went out a little earlier than usual that day, so that he could pick up some cheaper things earlier.Suddenly seeing a group of people surrounded by the city wall, he looked up subconsciously, and saw a mummy hanging on the city wall, the wall was covered in blood, and the golden belly thing floated out little by little.

How the monk was invited by eight palanquins when he came, and how embarrassing and ugly he was when he died.

"Master Immortal, you should handle this matter carefully. If you really can't do it, then go. My family is all locals, and the ghosts will be fine if they don't eat the locals. The important thing is you. No matter what Chu Linyuan said, I brought him up Yes, I really can't bear to treat him like this. If something happens to him, I will have no face to face his mother in the underworld..." Xu Yu choked up, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoshuang.

"Of course I'll keep him safe." Lin Xiaoshuang responded flatly, "I remember you saying "maybe you can go and hide in the Hualou in the east of the city", what do you mean? "

Xu Yu quickly explained: "By the way, the east of the city is the drunken world. Outsiders can stay there overnight to keep themselves safe."

Lin Xiaoshuang nodded knowingly, and got up: "Can you make room for us?"

Yu Shutong at the side greeted Lin Xiaoshuang immediately and directed Lin Xiaoshuang to an empty room, but replied with some embarrassment: "Naturally, the immortal master is welcome. It's just that the humble house is simple, and the two immortal masters probably have to squeeze together."

Lin Xiaoshuang: "It's okay."

"Master?" Seeing Lin Xiaoshuang get up, Chu Linyuan called out hastily.

"It's okay, you can chat for a while." Lin Xiaoshuang patted Chu Linyuan's head, knowing that the two of them must have a lot to say after not seeing each other for many years, so she followed Yu Shutong away.

Chu Linyuan was left sitting alone in front of Xu Yu, and Xu Yu didn't speak. The two looked at each other in a daze, but they didn't look away.

Today's Chu Linyuan has grown up a lot, and his face still has the original shadow, but now he looks like an adult.As for Xu Yu, he was old. The time when he used to rely on his face and mouth to deceive the world has faded away, and what remains are his slightly white temple hair and slightly bright eyes.

Just like the night when Xu Yu picked Chu Linyuan away, Chu Linyuan was also like this, staring blankly at Xu Yu, as if trying to find out the slightest trace of a villain from Xu Yu's face.And the smooth-talking Xu Yu had never raised a child before, and he was still such a half-grown child who had just lost his mother, so he was afraid that he would irritate people away by saying something.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Chu Linyuan couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

Time seems to go back to what it was back then, but it is too long for Chu Linyuan who has lived two lives now, so long that I can't remember when I started calling him "old liar" and what kind of room he lived in back then , And how did he follow Xu Yu to wander around.

But at that time, it was so reassuring, big hands holding small hands, not so much support, as it is two homeless bachelors supporting each other to live.

Xu Yu called out tremblingly, and the emotions he dared not express in front of Lin Xiaoshuang just now surged out: "Chu Linyuan."

Chu Linyuan paused for a moment, and the next moment slowly called out word by word: "Old, liar, son?"

"Hey, little bastard, why don't you know how to call him father? You were lawless when you were young, and you are still like this when you grow up. I have raised you for so long for nothing... Eh..." Xu Yu complained, but his face was full of tears. Overjoyed, unconsciously her eye sockets became a little moist, and she wiped away her tears, "If your mother knew that you really entered the fairy gate, how happy she would be."
