Scroll of Seven Sorrows

"Xiao Juan, can you become Xia Jingzhou?" After Xie Bi'an overheard the conversation between Xia Jinghe and his wife in the restaurant, he suddenly realized that Xiao Lang's death might not be that simple.The Sun girl in Mrs. Xia's population may be the person who taught Xia Jinghe the longevity formula in her previous life.Xie Bi'an felt that no matter what, he had to go find Miss Sun himself.But he is just a child now, and he is still the young master of the Xia family. He is surrounded by a group of people every day. It is impossible to sneak out alone, so he thought of Xiao Juan, who still has magic power.

Xiao Juan did not respond to Xie Bi'an with words, but directly changed into Xia Jingzhou's appearance.

"Very well, I'll go out in the afternoon, please pretend to be sick and hold Mrs. Xia back, and don't let her and Xia Jinghe leave the Xia mansion before I come back." Xie Bi'an is going to find Miss Sun. people, that's going to be interesting.

"Also, Xiao Juan, get Miss Sun's information, the more detailed the better."

Xiaojuan had no choice but to turn into a book again, presenting Miss Sun's information to Xie Bi'an.

Ms. Sun is over 50 years old this year. She is a middle-aged woman rather than a young girl. She lives in a village in the north and is from the same village as Mrs. Xia. The word "girl" is used by the locals to refer to the witch, and "Sun girl" means "Sun witch".

The status of witches is very high in villages with underdeveloped medical technology and technology. They are both doctors and witches.From children crying at night with a cold and fever, to divination by ghosts and gods in sacrificial ceremonies, they can be found everywhere.An effective sorceress has saved countless lives, but often lives alone.

Xie Bi'an first contacted Fan Wujiu to meet him outside, and then sneaked out of Xia Mansion while everyone was taking a nap at noon.Fan Wujiu was standing on the road opposite Xia Mansion, looking towards the gate under the scorching sun.

After seeing Fan Wujiu, Xie Bian gave him a big hug: "Ba Ye, this is the first time I've seen you dressed as a literati, and it's more suitable than your martial robe."

Fan Wujiu squatted on the ground, letting Xie Bian hug him.Xie Bi'an now looks like a child, no matter how much he hugs Fan Wujiu, Fan Wujiu will not have the flustered feeling when he was in close contact with Master Qi.Fan Wujiu felt very at ease, but he couldn't help but miss Xie Bi'an's usual appearance while talking and laughing.

"Go to the ferry first, then take the train, let's go north to the village, and meet that girl Sun for a while." Xie Bi'an let go of Fan Wujiu's neck and said.It is enough to take advantage of Ba Ye, but Xie Bi'an always feels weird to use Xia Jingzhou's appearance to take advantage of Ba Ye.

"Forgive me, why do we always have trouble with the Yangtze River." Ba Ye complained.

"For the last time, even if I have to cross the river in the future, I will go there alone, and I will definitely not drag you along, okay?" Xie Bi'an comforted.

Ba Ye nodded, looking like you can't regret it, but Qi Ye knew that if he had to cross the river next time, Ba Ye would definitely not leave him alone.Hard-spoken and soft-hearted, why is Ba Ye so cute.

It rained after Qiye and Baye got off the ferry, so that while waiting for the train, there were still many small puddles on the stone-paved track.The locomotives of the Republic of China were "rugged" in appearance, and they looked like machine guns that were exaggerated many times. Although the modern streamlined locomotives were faster and more modern, Xie Bian still preferred the old locomotives.

But the old trains are too slow, noisy and bumpy, so the journey is very painful.The stop where the black and white couple got off was a remote station, in the middle of the wilderness, and only after asking the little brother who guarded the railway did he know where to go next.

Qiye and Baye walked along the country path for most of the morning, and in the distance were the ups and downs of Mount Tai. Qiye likes to see the mountains, but now he has no intention of admiring them, and fell asleep on the train One night, the bones of the body were already shaken, and now I have walked for a long time and only met a few families. It is really tiring to be a human being.

After walking for more than two hours, I finally reached the destination of this trip.Miss Sun's house is muddy, the gate is made of firewood, Fan Wujiu wanted to knock on the door, but frowned and didn't know how to do it.

Miss Sun was telling fortunes in the room, when suddenly her throat felt sweet and she spat out a stream of blood.This was a sign of the visitation of ghosts and gods. Miss Sun immediately lost her position and ran to the courtyard in a hurry. She saw a frowning tall man leading a little boy outside the gate.

"I don't know how sacred your majesty is, how can I come to my humble house." Miss Sun immediately knelt down trembling.

"There are a few brushes, but we can tell at a glance that we are not mortals." Xie Bi'an raised his head and said to Fan Wujiu, then opened the firewood door and walked in front of Miss Sun and said, "There are still people in your room, let's talk about it after seeing off the guests. talk."

Miss Sun invited the two of them into the house, and after finding a reason to let the guests who came to do the fortune-telling today leave, she started talking with the two of them again.

"I don't know where the two are from?" Miss Sun asked respectfully.

"I'm Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an, this Black Wuchang Fan Wujiu." Xie Bi'an sat on a simple pear wood bench, the leather shoes under his feet rubbed against the dirt floor in Miss Sun's house, looking like an innocent child.

"It turns out to be Lord Black and White Ghost Messenger." Miss Sun became more sincere and fearful when she heard the names of Black and White, "Why did you two come here?"

"Ten years later, more than a dozen ghosts flooded into Fengdu. They were all girls in their teens and 20s. They all lost their neck flesh. Lu sentenced my brother and I to investigate the case. In the end, all the evidence points to you. , so I came to visit.”

Fan Wujiu secretly gave Qiye a thumbs up in his heart, he was also talking nonsense with his eyes open, Qiye's tricks are few and contagious, he would never learn it anyway.

After listening to Xie Bi'an's description, Miss Sun immediately understood: "Girls in their twenties have lost their neck flesh. I'm afraid someone used the formula of longevity."

"That's right, it's the formula of longevity. Xie wants to ask, besides you, is there anyone else who knows the formula of longevity?" Xie Bi'an squinted his eyes and asked.

Children squinting their eyes are cute, but Xie Bi'an's expression now makes Miss Sun feel trembling in her heart: "No, no one knows. The formula of longevity is a secret technique handed down in my family, and it will not be passed on easily. My family members are withered. I'm the only one left."

"Then this happened because of you." Fan Wujiu said.

"But my lord, although I know the formula of longevity, I don't know how to use it without authorization, and I don't know how to teach it to others. My lord can't spit on others." Seeing that Fan Wujiu blamed herself for the fault, Miss Sun became excited.

Xie Bi'an smiled and said: "It is inevitable that there will be high-ranking officials who threaten and lure you in the future. You can't guarantee that you will not speak out for the rest of your life. This matter really happened because of you. If you don't want to be punished and sent to the [-]th floor of hell after death , it’s better to plan ahead.”

"My lord, save me." When Miss Sun heard that she would be held accountable by the judge, she immediately faltered.

"Actually, it's not difficult for you to get out of this matter. From now on, you quit your job and go to the north as a short-term worker incognito. I will give you some money as travel expenses. Also, no matter what, don't help the Xia family and the Meng family with anything. , don’t set foot in the South in this life. As long as you are obedient and mention my name to Granny Meng after you die, you will have a good pregnancy in the next life.”

After receiving Xie Bi'an's advice, Miss Sun knelt down and thanked for a long time, and vowed to follow Qi Ye's words, Xie Bi'an felt relieved and went back to Shanghai with Fan Wujiu.

Miss Sun didn't dare to delay any longer, she packed her pitifully small luggage and set off on the road.When she left, the person from the Xia family to invite her arrived, but even though the Xia family has great powers, it is not easy to find someone in troubled times, so the matter can only be done.

On the way back to Qiyebaye, I still took the train.The train was whimpering, and Ba Ye glanced at the scenery outside the window, and then asked, "Did Xiao Lang die because of Xiao Bing, or because of Miss Sun's curse?"

Qi Ye smiled: "It's hard to say. It may be because of Xiao Bing, it may be because of Miss Sun, of course, it may be both."

"However, if she died because of Miss Sun, wouldn't that mean that the person Xiao Lang loves is not Xia Jinghe at all? Then if we help Xiao Lang survive, can we really prevent Xia Jinghe from going down the old path?" Ba Ye asked.

Qi Ye stretched out his short hand, raised most of his body, rubbed Ba Ye's head, and said: "Actually, without Miss Sun's longevity formula, Xia Jinghe will not be able to cause any trouble in the future. Of course Xiao Lang may be I really like Xia Jinghe, but there is nothing wrong with marrying her in order to consolidate power in the army. Similarly, Xia Jinghe loves Xiao Lang now, but no one can say whether he will love him in the future. Eighth Master, you have never liked anyone else, so I always imagine that love is beautiful and great. In fact, no matter how vigorous the love is, it will turn into a left hand holding a right hand in the end, and the relationship between the two has changed from love to family. Therefore, whether Xiao Lang loves Xia Jinghe or not does not matter. It doesn't matter, he can respect Xia Jinghe as a guest and be good to Xia Jinghe for a lifetime, that's the most important thing."

Fan Wujiu wanted to refute Xie Bi'an's statement, but he couldn't speak.In Fengdu for so many years, he has seen many, many idiots who hate each other, from the beginning of vows to each other to the last one that is worse than forgetting each other.There are many young people who died early, begging ghost messengers in front of the Three Lives Stone, wanting to wait for their loved ones to come and reincarnate together, but they don't want to cross the river of forgetfulness holding someone else's hand when they grow old together.

Fan Wujiu always felt that this should not be the case, why is love so fragile, no one is irreplaceable, whoever leaves can live a good life.But there is always someone who can abandon all life and death for the one he loves, and there is always someone who can spend his whole life with his lover and still love him like a young man, Ba Ye thought, but I haven’t met it, there must be ,must.

Looking at Ba Ye's expression, Qi Ye roughly guessed what Ba Ye was thinking.

That's right, if unrequited love is counted, there are people in this world who can die for the one they love, and there are people who still love the one they love as if they've been together for thousands of years.Qi Ye didn't want to put gold on his face. He felt that the reason why he could persist for so long was because he couldn't get it. I don't know who said that the best thing is what he can't get. It's quite right.
