Seeing me take out a shiny bead, Qiu Shui came over curiously.
When she saw Su Su's soul inside the Taiyin Pearl, Miao girl Qiu Shui's face showed surprise.
She asked me in surprise, "Is this the soul of your girlfriend?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, this is the soul of my girlfriend."
At this time, Susu was still crying inside the Taiyin Pearl.
"Susu, I'm sorry, I was reckless just now. Don't be angry!"
I stood by and said with a blushing face.
Su Su's soul stared at me with tears in her eyes and said in a sobbing voice: "Tian Yi, I didn't expect you to use the Silence Talisman to seal my voice. What did you do just now? Did you do something bad that no one knows about?"
At this time, Susu also noticed Qiu Shui standing next to me.
Her soul pointed at Qiu Shui and asked in surprise, "Who is she? Were you with her just now?"
Susu's expression and voice proved that she was jealous.
I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
On the contrary, Qiu Shui, who was standing aside, was very calm.
Qiu Shui smiled at Su Su in the Taiyin Pearl and said, "Sister, hello, my name is Qiu Shui. I just encountered a wild wolf when I was going up the mountain, and it was Brother Tianyi who rescued me."
After listening to Qiu Shui's explanation, Su Su seemed to understand something.
She asked me suspiciously, "Tianyi, is what she said true? But why did that troublemaker say that you were peeping at the girl taking a bath? Did you..."
I quickly explained, "Susu, don't think too much about it. That troublemaker Duoduo just likes to joke around. She didn't mean what she said. You have to believe me."
"Miss Qiushui and I are both innocent."
When I said this, my expression became unnatural.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a smile appeared on Su Su's soul's face.
She said to me, "Okay, Tianyi, I love you, how can I not believe what you say. Besides, I know you well, you are not the kind of person who is fickle."
My heart warmed and I smiled, "Hehe, Susu, you are really considerate."
And then, Susu’s words became a little sad.
She said, "Tianyi, I know that I can't give you a family in my current situation, and I can't really be with you. So, I don't want to restrict your life because of me."
"Do you know why I am angry today? It's not because you sealed the Taiyin Pearl with the Silence Talisman, but because you didn't answer me. In fact, what I care more about is whether you have me in your heart."
At this point, Susu smiled and said to me: "Tianyi, actually I have made up my mind. As long as I am by your side, I will feel very happy. So, you can start your life over again and find a girlfriend again. I don't want to change your life because of me."
Su Su's words stunned me. Even Qiu Shui who was standing next to me was stunned.
My heart was moved and my eyes became moist.
I was afraid that Susu and Qiu Shui would see me crying, so I quickly turned my head away.
I secretly wiped the tears from my face.
I quickly turned around and said to Susu seriously, "Susu, you're overthinking it. I love you, too. As long as you're by my side, that's enough. I won't choose anyone else. Even if I have to live alone until the end of my life, I'm willing to be with you."
"I hope you won't say such stupid things again. You may not know that these words of yours make me feel really sad."
For a moment, I was speechless.
And Susu's soul in the Taiyin Pearl was already crying loudly.
Qiu Shui looked at me, then looked at Su Su in the Taiyin Pearl, and said, "Brother Tianyi, Sister Su Su
, I really envy you two, you are a perfect match made in heaven."
Then I held the Taiyin Pearl and chatted a lot with Susu.
Qiu Shui also talked a lot with Su Su.
Without realizing it, the three of us had been chatting for over an hour halfway up the mountain.
I interrupted her later and said, "Okay, Susu, let's talk again later. It's already so late today, I need to send Qiushui home first. She broke her foot and can't walk. She may need some medicine when she gets home."
Su Su nodded and said with a smile: "Tianyi, then you guys go back."
Then, I put the Taiyin Pearl back into my windbreaker pocket, helped Qiu Shui up again, and took her towards the mountain.
On the way, Qiu Shui asked me inexplicably, "Brother Tianyi, what are your plans for the future?"
I thought about it and said, "Of course I have plans, but many of them are unrealistic."
"I hope I can find a suitable body for Susu. I also hope I haven't committed the five disadvantages and three shortcomings of a Taoist priest. I really hope I haven't appeared in that apartment, and I hope Susu hasn't met with an accident. I just hope that Susu and I can live a peaceful life until the end of our lives."
After hearing what I said, Qiu Shui said nothing more.
I don't know what she meant by asking this question, and I don't know what she was thinking.
Soon, after about half an incense stick of time, we returned to the bamboo house.
After helping Qiu Shui to the door of her bamboo house, I returned to my own bamboo house.
The night is as dark as ink and everything is silent.
I lay in bed, thinking about what happened today.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
I woke up very late in the morning and when I got up, everyone else was already dressed.
Miao girl Qiu Shui knocked on the door and brought over the morning food.
When Qiu Shui saw me, I gave her a slightly awkward smile.
We didn't say anything, but I noticed that Qiu Shui's face turned red like a ripe apple.
Zhang Chu saw that I didn’t dare to look at Qiu Shui, so after Qiu Shui left, he came closer to me.
"What's wrong? Tianyi, tell Master, are you attracted to Miss Qiushui? Why don't you even dare to raise your head?!"
Zhang Chu said jokingly.
I hurriedly said, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly like Qiu Shui? Didn't I tell you before that I already have a girlfriend?"
Who would have thought that Zhang Chu would lean his head closer and whisper in my ear: "Tianyi, don't think I don't know what you did last night. Hehe, you're not bad. You actually went to seduce a Miao girl."
My face froze for a moment.
After a while, I came back to my senses, swallowed my saliva and asked Zhang Chu, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Chu smiled and said, "Tianyi, don't play dumb with me. I saw you go out in the middle of the night last night, and then you stayed outside for a few hours. Then, you came back with that Miao girl Qiu Shui. Am I right?"
Damn, what Zhang Chu said really hit the nail on the head.
It seems that Zhang Chu has discovered what happened last night. But Qiu Shui and I are innocent, we didn't do anything.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you misunderstood. Qiu Shui and I didn't do anything yesterday. She encountered a pack of wolves, and I helped her. Later, she was injured, and I helped her back. That's all."
But Zhang Chu stared at me with a half-smile and asked, "Is that really all?"
I said naturally, “Absolutely true!”
But Zhang Chu blurted out, "I don't believe it."
Damn it, it seems like nothing I say will help.
No
Zhang Chu quickly patted my shoulder and said, "But don't worry, disciple. I won't say anything about you. I was young once, and I did some shameful things when I was young, but that's not important. What's important is life. You have to experience some things to make it exciting."
I curled my lips. I didn't know how to respond to Zhang Chu's words.
It seems that Zhang Chu must have thought that something happened between me and Qiu Shui.
Oh! It's so bitter, and I really can't explain it.
Soon, after a simple breakfast, we walked out of the big bamboo house and headed towards where Grandma Tianhua was.
At this time, Granny Tianhua had already appeared in her bamboo house.
She was sitting on a large bamboo bench, waiting for us.
After we exchanged greetings, Granny Tianhua said a few simple words.
Then, with Qiu Shui's help, she stepped down from the bamboo chair and said, "Let's go, everyone. I will go to the charity cemetery with you today. I haven't seen my sister for a few years. This time, it would be nice to go and see her."
After saying that, Grandma Tianhua walked in front, and the rest of us followed her.
When we left the valley, Yuquan and I supported Grandma Tianhua for a while.
On the way, Granny Tianhua asked me some questions about my fake master Jiang Jiuzhen, and I evaded her questions with words. After all, I didn't know the real situation of Jiang Jiuzhen.
Soon, we were at the other side of the charity cemetery, and the stilt house appeared before our eyes.
In front of the window of the stilt house, an old woman with yellow spots all over her face was standing there, staring at us. Her expression seemed so calm, without much fluctuation.
As we approached the charity cemetery, a middle-aged man walked out of the door.
The middle-aged man had a fair face and no beard, and the hair on top of his head was very sparse.
Seeing Granny Tianhua, the middle-aged man bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Aunt Tianhua."
The middle-aged man turned out to be Granny Smallpox's nephew.
Granny Tianhua nodded, then said, "Where is your mother Chimu? Ask her to come see me, and I won't go in."
The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment: "Aunt, my mother is already waiting for you in the main house. She already knows the purpose of you and these outsiders coming here."
Granny Tianhua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you lead the way and we'll go there."
"Yes, auntie!"
Afterwards, the middle-aged man led the way, and Granny Tianhua followed behind with Qiu Shui's support. Then, it was our group.
For convenience, Zhang Chu left the two tightly wrapped zombies outside the stilt house.
The middle-aged man was also surprised when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Chu's two zombies.
Soon, our group entered the charity cemetery.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the charity cemetery, we smelled a very strong stench of corpse.
I glanced at both sides of the gate and found four zombies with yellow talismans on their heads. It seemed that this place was indeed a funeral home, and there were indeed zombies living here.
In other words, there should be some corpse-drivers passing by who stayed overnight on this side of the stilt house.
At this time, the middle-aged man in front, Ge Liang, spoke.
He said to us, "Everyone, please don't make too much noise, because there are other guests in our charity cemetery. They are resting, so please don't disturb them."
We were here to look for someone, so we naturally didn't want to cause trouble. Besides, that Chimu grandma wasn't someone to be trifled with. As the saying goes, less trouble is worse than more trouble, so we were all very quiet when we went upstairs.
Soon, we saw Grandma Chimu in the main house in the middle of the stilt house.
