Zheng Qing has always wanted me and Liu Xiaojing to be together. This is his idea. He doesn't want Liu Xiaojing to have any problems because his goal has not been achieved.
Master Yun Zheng asked me to come over. Yun Bai looked at me, his face turned red, and he went into the house.
"Master, do you have something to ask me?"
"Don't listen to others. Hold the wedding in September. Go back and discuss it with your father and make some preparations."
I didn't expect it to be so fast. It's been less than a month. I was a little hesitant, and the master saw it.
"Don't hesitate. Don't listen to what others say. They can't do anything to you. They are just talking."
Master Yunzheng said so, and I felt relieved. If that was true, then it wouldn't be a problem. I went home and told my father about it, and he agreed. Since she was Master Yunzheng's daughter, there wouldn't be any character issues.
After the matter was settled, we started to plan the wedding, but there was no big fanfare. Even so, Zheng Qing still knew about it, and Liu Xiaojing also knew about it later. She came to talk to me, saying that Bai Jie's body and Liu Xiaojing's soul were not something I could put together, and I always misunderstood their meanings.
Liu Xiaojing told me that if I married Yun Bai, she would not have a good life. What she owed in the previous life, she must be repaid in this life. If she did not, then I would have to think about the consequences myself. Liu Xiaojing threatened me blatantly, but I was not afraid. Master Yun Zheng said that they were just talking.
In fact, I am still very worried. I don’t know whether Master Yunzheng can prevent the situation from developing in a bad direction.
When I was working with Zhao Tie in the refining room, I always felt something was wrong. Zhao Tie told me that he felt the same way.
I knew that Liu Xiaojing or Zheng Qing had started their efforts to stop it.
When I got home at night, I had sleepwalking. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't know anything about what happened. I had sleepwalking when I was a child, but it got better when I grew up and I never had the symptoms of sleepwalking again.
I woke up in the morning, my legs were bruised, my hands were bruised, my feet were bruised, and my face was scratched. I sat there in a daze, wondering how this could happen? My father came in and told me that I had sleepwalking yesterday. He didn’t dare to wake me up and kept following me. He just shook his head when he said this. How could this happen? Where on earth had I been? This had never happened to me when I was a kid. Why was this happening
I came out of the bedroom and my father took out mercurochrome to wipe my wound. I saw the pain on my father's face, as if he was the one who was injured, and even the injury was more painful than if it was on his body.
"Dad, what happened?"
My father stopped, put down the mercurochrome, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
"You're in trouble."
I was stunned. Did I do something out of the ordinary last night? I didn't think so. I never did anything out of the ordinary when I was a kid.
"What's the trouble?"
"You dug up the Zhao family's grave, picked out the bones, and threw them into the river."
I was stunned. How could this be possible? This was absolutely impossible.
The Zhao Family Tomb belongs to the family of the great landlord Zhao. There are more than forty tombs in the cemetery, which is a piece of mountain land of the Zhao family. Everyone knows how rich the landlord Zhao's family was before liberation. The family was wealthy and prosperous, with many people. Even now, the Zhao family still lives in the Zhao Family Compound. More than twenty families live together, including grandchildren and nearly a hundred people. Most people don't provoke them, mainly because they dare not.
"Take me to see it."
"Forget it, don't go. Maybe the Zhao family is looking for this person now. Just pretend nothing happened. Don't go to work today. I'll go to the field to ask for leave for you."
I think so too. I can't go to work with this hairstyle. I'll take a few days off and go back to work after I've recovered.
My father took leave and I was thinking about this matter. Such a thing actually happened. I think things are not as simple as my father and I thought.
When my father came back, Master Yunzheng came with him. I was just about to find Master Yunzheng, but when he saw me like this, he was stunned, then sat down, didn't speak for a long time, and smoked fiercely. It seemed that something really troublesome happened.
Master Yunzheng finally spoke.
“This is not sleepwalking.”
I was stunned by Master Yunzheng’s certainty.
"Liu Xiaojing and Zheng Qing did it. As for the method they used, I don't know for now. You wait for me at home."
Master Yunzheng left with a gloomy face, and seemed very angry. I was worried that something might happen to Master Yunzheng, so I wanted to go to the crematorium, but my father didn't let me go, saying that Master Yunzheng had taken care of it. Master Yunzheng didn't come back until dark, but Liu Xiaojing came. She didn't show any expression, and she was also surprised when she saw me.
"How did it become like this?"
I didn't say anything and my father went into his room. He rarely interfered in our affairs, so matters like this were left for us to handle.
"Liu Xiaojing, we are really not suitable for each other. I will pay you back what I owe you in the next life."
"I'm already here in this life, there's no next life, let's not talk about this for now, how did you do this?"
"Sleepwalking."
I didn't see Master Yunzheng, so I couldn't tell Liu Xiaojing the truth.
Liu Xiaojing looked at me for a long time and suddenly said.
"The grave of the landlord Zhao..."
She didn't say anything further and then looked at me.
"What grave?"
I played dumb, and Liu Xiaojing said that the landlord Zhao's family had already reported the case to the police, and their family members were looking everywhere for the person who dug up their ancestral grave.
I thought, I'm really in big trouble this time. If it was Liu Xiaojing who did this, it would be hurtful to me. It seems that it was not Liu Xiaojing, so it must be Zheng Qing who did it. He wanted to stop me, but failed, so he came up with this trick. I remember that Zheng Qing was very close to the landlord Zhao's family, and it seemed that they had some kind of kinship relationship. It must have been Zheng Qing who did it.
Liu Xiaojing stayed for more than an hour and then left. She cried when she left. She said again that she would not let Bai Jie get hurt as long as I married her.
Master Yunzheng came the next night with a gloomy face.
"This matter with the landlord Zhao is difficult to settle. Zheng Qing has tripped you up. He doesn't admit that he is sleepwalking, not sleepwalking. But I know that you dug up the ancestral graves of the landlord Zhao family. They will soon know about it. Zheng Qing will tell them. If you want to settle this matter, I'm afraid you have to ask Zheng Qing for help. Zheng Qing is a relative of the landlord Zhao family and has some connections with the landlord Zhao family."
Master Yunzheng looked at my father and me, and I thought, this time we’ve really got the upper hand.
"What method did he use to make me wander?"
"When you fall asleep, Zheng Qing has a way to come in and light a kind of bone incense made from ashes. It only takes one minute."
I was sweating. It seemed that I had thought too simply of Zheng Qing. How many strange things were there in the crematorium? I really couldn't think of it.
"I'm going to look for Zheng Qing."
Master Yunzheng stopped me.
"Now is not the time to look for Zheng Qing. The Zhao family has power, and this is about digging up our ancestors' graves."
"I told the truth and said that Zheng Qing gave me bone incense."
"Will anyone believe it?"
I was stunned. If this was the case, I had no choice but to wait for the police to take me away, or let the Zhao family beat me to a cripple or death.
As we were talking, the police came in with a man from the Zhao family. The man from the Zhao family was about to beat me, but the police stopped him, took the man from the Zhao family out, and then came in to question me.
"It wasn't me."
I didn't admit it.
"Is this yours?"
The policeman was holding something in his hand. It was a bracelet that Hao Fei left for me. I put it on and stood there in a daze.
"Come back to the police station with us."
I followed him back to the police station. It seemed that this time I was in great danger. When I was taken out, there were more than a hundred people from the Zhao family outside, rushing up with all kinds of deadly weapons. If there were no police, I would probably have been dead.
I knew that this matter was going to be troublesome. Even if the police didn't deal with me, the Zhao family wouldn't let me go.
At the police station, the police asked me about the grave digging. What should I say? I said that Zheng Qing scared me with the bone incense? Who would believe it? I said I didn't dig it, but the bracelet couldn't escape. People saw me wearing it. Now I don't have it. Now it seems that I am in trouble.
I remained silent the entire time. The police tried to persuade me, but I refused to say anything. I didn't expect that my father and Zheng Qing would come. Zheng Qing came in and talked to the police. Half an hour later, I was actually released. Zheng Qing pulled me aside and talked to me.
"I'll teach you a little lesson. I'll take care of this matter. You don't have to worry about the Zhao family's affairs. If you dare to disobey me again, what happens next will be much worse than this. Don't let me down."
Zheng Qing’s grimacing face made me want to punch him, but I didn’t dare to because the consequences would be terrible.
I'm going home, said my father.
"I have understood all these things clearly. You need to discuss this matter with your master."
I was sweating. I went to Master Yun Zheng's house, but he was not at home. Yun Bai also didn't know where he had gone.
The next day at work, Zheng Qing actually went to the refining room and told me again that I must act according to his ideas.
After get off work, I found Liu Xiaojing. Bai Jie's body looked awkward no matter how I looked at it.
"You can't do this. Zheng Qing did something like this. Even though Zhao Dafang has dealt with it now, there might be more trouble."
"I've already told him that I'll handle my own affairs. He won't dare to do anything to me in the future. But then again, what's wrong with me?"
"You are not from this world at all."
"Three years have passed for me, just like you. I came to this life just to find you. If you don't agree, I will have gone through this life in vain, and there will be no afterlife for us. We have cultivated to meet in this life, but you..."
Liu Xiaojing is suffering. Looking at Bai Jie's body and feeling Liu Xiaojing's soul, I feel like I'm going to split apart.
"sorry."
I turned around and left. What should I do? I didn't know. I could only wait for my master. There was no other way.
I didn't go home, I sat by the river, all of this happened so suddenly that I didn't know what to do.
Master Yunzheng came over from a distance, sat next to me and lit a cigarette.
"It's okay. Liu Xiaojing has been spinning in vain for a lifetime. If she dares to do anything to you again, all her spinning will be in vain. And Zheng Qing won't dare to do anything to you again."
I was stunned. Does Master Yunzheng have such a solution
I stood up. That would be great if that was the case, but I was still worried. Master Yun Zheng saw it, but didn't explain much. Anyway, we could talk about this kind of thing later.
I was taking a day off today, and Yunbai came to see me. We watched the first movie, "Red Sun". There were a lot of people in the cinema, it was a mess. That's how it was in that era. Yunbai was very happy watching the movie. We went out and went to Da Lai for dinner. Yunbai was very excited the whole time. She was like a childlike woman, and I liked that too.
If I marry Yun Bai, I will be happy for the rest of my life. However, I can’t seem to let go of Bai Jie. But I have no choice. Life is full of frustration. (To be continued)
