Scroll of Seven Sorrows

"Who is it... wait, come right away." A middle-aged woman's voice came from the room, presumably it was Xia Jingzhou's nanny.

The nanny opened the wooden door, perhaps because the spring and summer in the south were too humid and rainy, the shaft of the door was rusted and made a "creaking" sound.Seeing the two grown men in suits outside the door, the nanny couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and thought, the gangsters always dressed like this in the [-] o'clock soap operas they watched before, could it be the children and grandchildren of Old Xia who were outside? Borrowing usury, debt collectors come here.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xia Jingzhou's house?" It was a young man with squinted eyes who spoke. He didn't look like a bad guy, and the nanny breathed a sigh of relief.

But he caught a glimpse of the man in black behind him with a livid face, he didn't seem to be a kind person, and the nanny was a little worried, so she said anxiously: "I wonder what you two want to see Xia Jingzhou?"

"We are the descendants of the Meng family. I heard from my parents that the Meng family had an in-law relationship with the Xia family. It is rare to return to China, so I want to come and see." Xie Bi'an read the life and death book, and read the general biographies of the people related to Xia Jinghe. Once again, knowing that the Meng family moved to the United States just after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and had no contact with the country, so they made up a nonsense identity, but they were not afraid of being exposed by Xia Jingzhou.

Hearing that it was an overseas Chinese returning from overseas, the nanny finally stopped worrying and let the two of them enter the house: "The old man is still taking a nap, please wait a moment, gentlemen, I will call him."

Xie Bi'an waved his hand to the nanny: "No need, let the old man have a good rest, we will stay here all afternoon."

Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu sat at Xia Jingzhou's house until three o'clock in the afternoon, the nanny was afraid they would be bored, so she turned on the TV.Xia Jingzhou lives on the first floor, and every summer it will be very humid due to the return of humidity.The wall at the corner of the room has peeled, and some water marks can be seen faintly, and the corner of the old TV screen was also blurred into a blue spot because of the humidity when it was just turned on.The smell of aging mixed with the smell of mildew is very uncomfortable.Fan Wujiu didn't like the too humid environment, which was also related to the cause of his death, he couldn't bear it halfway, so he ran outside the door to smoke a few times.The old man who took a nap woke up until the corridor was full of cigarette butts, and if he threw them down, he might be complained by the residents.

Hearing Xia Jingzhou's voice, Fan Wujiu stretched out his hand and grabbed it in mid-air, the cigarette butts all over the floor disappeared.Fan Wujiu pushed the door back to the living room, saw the old man leaning on a walking stick, the old man was dressed in plain clothes, no one would believe that he was the son of the famous General Xia.

Xie Bi'an had already exchanged pleasantries with Xia Jingzhou. He listened to the old man chatting about all kinds of things in these years, and then told the old man the compiled experience. It took nearly half an hour to get into the topic.

"Mr. Xia, in fact, my brothers have something to ask for this time. My younger brother wants to write a book about the past of the famous ladies in Shanghai. I just heard my grandfather talk about the third grandma, and I want to write the life of the third grandma in the book." But when the third grandma was alive, my grandfather was still young and didn’t remember clearly. So we brothers tried everything possible to find you and wanted to hear you tell the story of the third grandma.” said loudly to him.

Fan Wujiu nodded in agreement.

"What aspects do you want to hear?" Probably the Xia family kept it a secret. Xia Jingzhou didn't seem to know what her sister did before her death, and she missed Xia Jinghe very much, so she was very happy to tell the younger generation about Xia Jinghe's past.

Xie Bi'an bumped Fan Wujiu with his elbow and said, "If you want to hear anything, tell Mr. Xia."

Fan Wujiu's Wannian poker face squeezed out a smile, and he tried his best to be obedient and said to Xia Jingzhou: "Please tell Mrs. Xia about the romantic past of the third grandma. The current readers like this most."

Looking at Ba Ye's pretending to be well-behaved, Qi Ye thought it was very funny, and tried his best to cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing out loud.

Xia Jingzhou didn't notice Xie Bi'an's small movements, and was blindly immersed in memories.

"My sister has had three men in her life. Of course, there may be more, but I don't know that's all. But there are only two sons of decent families with names and surnames." Xia Jingzhou said.

Fan Wujiu looked at Xie Bi'an in shock, and thought, how could there be two men?Xie Bi'an seemed to understand it, touched the back of Fan Wujiu's hand, and signaled him to be calm.

"The first man is my sister's first love, named Xiao Lang, who is the younger brother of Meng Sange. My sister and Meng Sange also met because of Xiao Lang. The Xiao Lang brother in my memory doesn't look like Meng San. Brother is well-educated and has a straightforward temper. Although he and Brother Meng are friends, they are not the same way. To put it bluntly, if my sister had followed Brother Xiao Lang back then, she would not have died so early.

My sister became famous in Shanghai relatively early. There were no people like Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman in the Shanghai social circle at that time, and my sister could be regarded as one of the best socialites.However, she was only 17 years old when she met Brother Xiao Lang, and she had just graduated from a women's college, so she was not yet famous.Brother Xiao Lang's aunt is my aunt, so we are also related.Brother Xiao Lang met my sister under the arrangement of my mother and aunt.Brother Xiao Lang and my sister are still young, and they are both handsome and beautiful. Soon they liked each other and got engaged.I was less than ten years old at the time, Brother Xiao Lang was very kind to me, and always took me to Yongan Department Store to buy toys.

But half a month before the wedding, brother Xiao Lang died in a car accident, and my sister collapsed for a long time.Later, my mother brought her into the social circle in order to help my sister recover and meet new people.My sister was really good-looking back then. I still have photos here, and I'll show them to you later.Anyway, there was not a single person in Shanghai's upper class who hadn't heard of Xia Jinghe's name.My sister became the focus of every banquet, was sought after by many people, endorsed many brands of clothes, and gradually came out of the shadow of losing Brother Xiao Lang.

After that, Sange Meng returned to China.Brother Meng likes to play and can play. He saw my sister at the reception on the first night back in Shanghai.After returning home, Sange Meng inquired about my sister's identity, and knew that my sister was Xiao Langge's fiancée, so he approached my sister by the name of Xiao Langge's younger brother.My sister knew that Brother Meng had a family, and we had always been friends with him from the beginning, and the two often missed Brother Xiao Lang together.

My sister would cry whenever Brother Xiao Lang was mentioned, and Third Brother Meng would often make her cry first, and then take the opportunity to comfort her. He played a good hand of cards, and my sister gradually developed feelings for Third Brother Meng.At that time, the two of them caused troubles all over Shanghai because they wanted to be together. In the end, Miss Lin, the ex-wife of Brother Meng, was forced to death, and my sister married into the Meng family.

In the first few years, the relationship between the two was pretty good, but after a few years, my sister still went out to socialize every day and had no children, which made Meng Sange feel that my sister was disregarding the family, and my sister was getting older, and her face There are also wrinkles, and Brother Meng doesn't like my sister even more.Later, I heard that Brother Meng had raised an outside room and had a child. My sister also had a quarrel.Afterwards, my sister's mental state was always not very good, but she looked younger than before.

Later, my sister also raised a man outside, and I bumped into him once. I don't know the name of the man, but he is a pretty boy, and he looks more charming than my sister.Later, for some reason, it may be that the foster person was discovered by Brother Meng, or it may be that my sister went crazy, and the two of them had sex in the apartment that my sister rented.

In fact, I think that since Brother Xiao Lang left, my sister has become weird. It was not obvious before, but after being stimulated by Brother Meng's incident, she became even more abnormal.After she married Brother Meng, she asked me once.She said, "Xiaozhou, is my sister getting old?" ’ I said: ‘No, it’s the same as previous years. ’ Then my sister said with a smile: ‘That’s good, I must not grow old, otherwise Xiao Lang won’t know me when I die. 'She smiled weirdly at the time, and I still remember that I can sometimes dream of her smiling at me in my dreams. "

After coming out of Xia Jingzhou's house, Fan Wujiu finally asked the previous question: "How can Xia Jinghe have at least three men, it's not written in the scroll of Qiku."

"As I said before, the records in the Seven Suffering Scrolls are not complete, and many key things can be saved as much as possible, just like..." Xie Bi'an frowned and said seriously.

"It's as if someone has deleted the key things." Eighth Master hurriedly replied.

Xie Bi'an nodded: "But it is not certain that the scroll of Seven Sufferings has been deleted, and it may be that the contents inside are incomplete. After all, this book was given to Wei Pan by the Bodhisattva, and Wei Pan gave it to me directly. Wei Pan is The famous Wei Zheng is upright and outspoken, the number one official under Taizong’s command, if he said that he did something wrong, I would not believe it. The Bodhisattva entrusts us to do things, and he will never deliberately delete the book to embarrass us.”

"Is there more detailed records in the book of life and death?" Fan Wujiu asked.

Xie Bi'an flipped through his phone, shook his head, and said, "The ghosts of Infernal Hell are often imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years, and their lives are automatically erased from the book of life and death. They will not reappear in the book of life and death until their grievances are eliminated and they can re-enter reincarnation. Their names. Otherwise, why do you think the Bodhisattva gave us the Scroll of Seven Sufferings, and just ask for the Book of Life and Death of King Yama?"

"Oh, as expected, if this task is left to me alone, it will be absolutely impossible." Fan Wujiu said, "Shall we go back and do this task again?"

"Yes, I changed into Xia Jingzhou's appearance, you still enter as it is, go back to before Xiao Lang's accident. Listening to what Xia Jingzhou said just now, Xiao Lang's death should be the reason why Xia Jinghe fell into madness, as long as Xiao Lang's hidden danger is eliminated , Xia Jinghe's future should be able to be rewritten."

"Not only to prevent Xiao Lang from having accidents, but also to cut off the possibility of Meng San and Xia Jinghe. Seventh master, if Xia Jinghe and Xiao Lang have been married for a few years, Xia Jinghe will gradually lose interest in Xiao Lang. At this time, Meng San suddenly returns to China Xia Jinghe fell in love at first sight, and she took action to destroy Xia Jinghe and Xiao Lang's marriage, and the two of them opposed the arranged marriage under the banner of freedom of love, and the future ending will not change."

"It's rare that Ba Ye said such a long sentence. Are you thirsty? Have some water?" Xie Bi'an laughed, "Look, I'm only given this task, and I can't do it. I don't think as far as Ba Ye , A person's perspective is always narrower."

Xie Bi'an praised Fan Wujiu in a different way, and praised Fan Wujiu to the point of embarrassment, so Fan Wujiu replied: "But I always only follow orders and do things, without a backbone, I absolutely can't, and seven Together, I can only help Qi Ye think about it, and sometimes it will be a little bit of a waste of help, so Qi Ye doesn't dislike it."

Seventh Master (being swollen for three seconds, sticking out his tongue and waving his hands): I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it.
