Second-generation ancestor

Going up the steps, pushing the door is the main hall.As soon as he entered the hall, Song Dongyang sneezed twice and muttered, "What's the smell?"

Bai Hao pointed to the flower bed in the center of the main hall: "It's those flowers."

Song Dongyang took two steps closer and looked at it: "Why doesn't this flower have leaves?"

"This is a purple lily of the valley. Since it grows, there are flowers but no leaves, and there are leaves but no flowers." The speaker came out from the inner hall, wearing a small blue satin gown with cuffs, with his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised. Get up, with a calm tone.But looking closely, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Is this the Purple Bell Orchid?" Song Dongyang asked.

"Yes, this flower can not only repair the body's eight meridians, but also extend life!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed Song Dongyang's wrist and felt for the pulse, "The inner alchemy is scattered? Can it be cured?"

"What about the conditions?"

"If you are willing to stay here with me, I will help you heal."

"I don't need you to help me cure my illness, I just ask for one flower to save my father's life."

The girl was delighted: "Then you are willing to accompany me?"

Song Dongyang opened the folding fan and said, "Of course I don't want to."

The girl pouted: "You are really thick-skinned. You don't want to accompany me, but you want my flowers." Looking at Bai Hao again, she said, "He wants flowers, so what do you want?"

"Those ones……"

Before Bai Hao opened his mouth, the girl said first: "The child has already been sent back to Qingcheng, and the little bastard is also liked by grandma."

Bai Hao clasped his hands together: "Thank you, Your Highness Ghost Emperor."

Song Dongyang looked at the girl with a little surprise: "Are you really a ghost emperor?"

"That's right!" The girl moved, jumped on the spot, and sat on the table, "It's not a ghost emperor, what is that? Little maid or little maid, do you know my age, I'm your grandma's grandma..."

"That's Grandma Grandma?" Song Dongyang saw the girl's high toes and her way of talking than himself, so she couldn't help teasing her, bowed her head and said, "Grandma Grandma!"

Not only was the girl not annoyed, she actually smiled after hearing this: "You are very interesting, you are not afraid of me, and you can even tease me."

Song Dongyang is someone who is used to the Rouge Pavilion, and he comes here whenever he speaks sweetly: "What are you afraid of? This woman is a pain in the ass."

"I like you, so I'll send you one of these flowers to save others. When will you let go and come back to accompany me, how about I heal your wounds?"

"Very good."

The girl smiled with satisfaction, looked at Bai Hao again, and said regretfully, "You're a bit boring."

Song Dongyang said seriously: "His Royal Highness Ghost Emperor really knows people with eyes."

"..."

"When..." The bell rang suddenly in the distance, and the girl said: "It's night again, and the ghost secretary is going to start the trial." After finishing speaking, with a wave of her arm, dozens of case files were suddenly opened slowly in the air, panning Looking at the golden light, the girl pointed at one of them, "Can you tell me why some people in this world don't want to live? Ghost messengers escort so many dead souls every day, yelling that living is suffering, but when it's time to die, they cry and cry I can't bear it, it's really ugly and urgent. So many people don't want to die, why grandma just..."

Song Dongyang said: "Life and death are up to one's fate, but it's human. If you can let go of your hand and choose for a day, you won't care about life or death. When you can't see clearly, she doesn't want to live. When you can see clearly, it doesn't matter whether you live or not." ?Life is a lifetime, the sea is a bundle, happy love and hatred, it is better to forget as you go, and you don’t have to leave too many traces until you die.”

The girl sighed, and closed the long scroll: "I see, you go!" After finishing speaking, she picked a flower and handed it to Song Dongyang.

Song Dongyang put it away and said, "Thank you." Then he left the inner hall with Bai Hao.

Looking along the steps, Yintong waited obediently in the courtyard, his obedient appearance was like a doll in an ordinary household.

Song Dongyang took two steps, and suddenly he heard the person next to him ask: "Is what you said just now true?"

"what?"

"Forget while walking." Bai Hao said.

"of course it's true."

Bai Hao asked: "There are always some people and things that are too important to forget."

"for example……"

Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "My lover, and...friends."

The corners of Song Dongyang's mouth curled up, and he began to smile unscrupulously again: "Then the love that was rubbed into the bones before death, and will be severely forgotten after death."

Song Dongyang and Bai Hao woke up on the wine table in Mingxinju. The sun had just set and the night was gradually rising.The people around were drinking happily, arguing with each other to persuade them to drink.

"Xiao Er!" Song Dongyang shouted.

The little second rubbed his hand on the rag, ran over and asked, "Is the guest finished drinking? What else do you need?"

"Do you have a wing room in your shop? I'm going to live here tonight and I won't go anywhere."

Xiao Er looked embarrassed: "But...there are no guest rooms in the store." After finishing speaking, he did not forget to emphasize, "Guest officer, this is a restaurant, not an inn. If you want to stay in a hotel, there is one on the street."

"There is no guest room, so the firewood room is fine. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere today!"

Xiao Er: "..."

Bai Hao: "..."

On the second day when he was on the road, Xiao Er secretly stuffed some steamed buns for Song Dongyang, and then sent them away sympathetically. Not anymore.Sure enough, within a few steps there was an inn, Bai Hao looked at Song Dongyang expressionlessly.

Song Dongyang looked helpless, and said: "In order to compensate you, I decided to give you a mandarin duck bath!"

"Mandarin duck bath?"

Before he finished speaking, Song Dongyang had already stepped into the inn, opened the room and asked for hot water, and looked at Bai Hao, who had disappeared without a trace.Looking up again, the man was already standing at the door of the room on the second floor.

"Brother Bai is really skilled."

Bai Hao gave Song Dongyang a cold look, and said, "Don't even think about sharing a room with me again!"

After Bai Hao finished speaking, he entered the room gracefully, leaving Song Dongyang smiling awkwardly at the people around him, and explaining bluntly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Song Dongyang had no choice but to open another room with the proprietress, and the proprietress said with a smile: "Oh, the door was closed! Your family has a big temper."

Song Dongyang was speechless, who knew that his obsession with cleanliness was so serious, he was already sleepy to death, but he had to clean up for nearly two hours before he sat down peacefully, did not sleep, and meditated all night.But after hearing what the proprietress said, I felt much better again, and said with a smile: "The proprietress is really accurate!"

Boss Nian rolled his eyes, slightly proud: "Seeing so many people, how can you hide it from me?"

"I'm asking you about this. Do you know how to get to Luohe Village?"

"Are you going to Luohe Village?" The proprietress was slightly surprised.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No...it's nothing..." Song Dongyang saw her hesitating expression, but he became interested and pretended to be pitiful, "We passed by here, and we met an old lady on the way, insisting that we help her find someone in this village. I saw that the old lady was pitiful, so I agreed."

Seeing Song Dongyang's innocent face, the proprietress looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "This Luohe village is thirty miles north of the city. I heard that they offended the gods, so the road into the village was sealed off, leaving only one waterway. People die every day, and they don’t know how desolate it is now? You guys! You’re new here, you must have been deceived.”

"Thank you for your frank words. I'll tell him when I get back." After saying "hehe," he smiled and said embarrassedly, "However, you should open another room for me."

The proprietress was overjoyed, and reprimanded Xiao Er to lead Song Dongyang upstairs, and the two of them washed and washed before they set out on the road.

Just after noon, they walked through a forest and heard the sound of gurgling water getting closer. After walking a few steps, a river mouth about forty meters wide came into view.

Song Dongyang dismounted, glanced at the river, and said, "It should be here."

Glancing in the distance, a boatman covered his face with a straw hat, and was leisurely basking in the sun with his legs crossed. Song Dongyang walked over and asked, "Boatman, can you take us to Luohe Village?"

The boatman didn't speak, but waved at him.

Bai Hao approached: "There is only this boat nearby." After thinking for a while, he took a step forward and said, "Boatman, there are indeed no boats nearby, please give us a ride."

The boatman took off his straw hat and said, "This village is a dead village. What are you doing there?"

Bai Hao said: "We were entrusted by others to enter the village..."

"50 taels, I'll buy your boat." Song Dongyang interrupted Bai Hao.

The boatman narrowed his eyes and smiled, happily said: "Deal."

Bai Hao was speechless, and Song Dongyang happily jumped into the boat: "I'll teach you a trick. There is no unreasonable deal in this world, only an unreasonable price. Brother Bai, let's row!"

Winding down along the estuary, about half an hour later, the two saw the village on the hillside, stacked up to five floors. Looking from below, the village was in the shape of a "Zhi", and the road was between the kiln roofs. Wear it around.The house on the top was emitting black smoke, and looking at the river below, it was becoming more and more filthy.

Song Dongyang and Bai Hao hid the boat under a bush by the river, tied the rope, and then walked towards the village.Along the way, the houses were closed and there were no pedestrians.

Song Dongyang looked around and said, "every house is a courtyard house. The white walls of Zhumen are filled with words, and the roofs are inlaid with turquoise. There must be many scholars in such an elegant village. If you have books, you will naturally have spirit. How could it be degraded?" To this field?"

"There is only one waterway to enter the village. What is the source of this river?"

Seeing a twelve or thirteen-year-old child standing at the intersection from a distance, Song Dongyang immediately ran over and said, "There is a Wang family in this village."

The child hurried on his way, but did not see him.

Song Dongyang took another two steps before catching up with the child, and asked again: "Little friend, may I ask if there is a family named Wang in this village."

The child didn't answer, just pointed to the place not far away, and ran away in a hurry.

The two had no choice but to keep moving forward, and after walking a few steps, they saw a small "Wang" character engraved on the door plate of a house.Bai Hao was still hesitating, Song Dongyang said: "Try it." Then he went up the steps and knocked on the door.

"coming!"

The person who opened the door was an old man with white hair, who looked about sixty or seventy years old. The old man looked at them and was anxious to close the door.Song Dong was quick-eyed, stopped him and said, "Hey! Master, don't close the door! You...you caught me."

The white-haired old man let go when he heard the shout, Bai Hao said: "Don't be afraid, old man, we have no malicious intentions, do you know Ye Wuxin?"

"I know someone, let's talk in the room." The old man relaxed and invited them into the room.

Passing through the small courtyard and entering the inner hall, Song Dongyang looked at it as he walked. The furnishings in the house are all made of mahogany, which is very elegant.

The old man invited Song Dongyang and Bai Hao to their seats, and shouted: "Hao'er, serve tea." Not long after, a child about ten years old came into the room with a tea tray.

Seeing Bai Hao and Song Dongyang take the teacup, the old man asked, "Did Wuxin go?"

Bai Hao glanced at Song Dongyang, then nodded at the old man.

The old man continued: "She told me that if someone comes to pick her up, no matter who it is, let them take her away, and these people will help her take care of her funeral affairs."

Song Dongyang said: "You are not surprised why she..."

Before thinking about how to ask the question, the old man interrupted: "She is a fairy, she just put her body here, and her soul has her own place."

"Immortal? You really describe it well."

Bai Hao glared at Song Dongyang and said, "Don't mind, my brother is not used to rules. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to tell us what happened in this village?"

The old man said: "This village used to be a famous scholar village. You have seen the way into the village. The North and South mountains are the bodies of dragons, and the heads of the dragons are high above the temples on the top of the mountains. The river is clear, the people are outstanding, and every family is a scholar. At the beginning, every once in a while, a young man in the village disappeared and never came back. The village was only four to five hundred households, and all of them were on the mountain. , scattered, only some old and weak women and children are left, look, now even the water is muddy, and God doesn't care about it!"

Song Dongyang asked: "Is it true that none of the disappeared people came back?"

"Yes, the only one who came back was Hao'er's father, who was found by Wuxin for me. It's just that two and a half souls are missing from the three souls. People in the village look for my door every day to ask about the situation. My son is confused. How can I answer? With these, I will let Haoer's mother take my son out of the village, and I don't know where it is now." Thinking of his lost son, the old man couldn't help sobbing.

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door in the yard.

Bai Hao and Song Dongyang followed the old man and opened the door to see the little boy they met in the village just now. The little boy grabbed the old man's clothes and shouted: "Grandpa! Grandpa, save me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people broke into the door. The leader was a fat woman with a knife, followed by a dozen people, old and young.As soon as the woman grabbed the boy by the collar, she was about to yank him out of the door. She yanked and said, "Let you run again, little bastard, and I will throw you into the river to feed the fish today!"
