Xiaoguai really wanted to laugh. She knew that Mr. Shao's two sons didn't like her, but she never thought that they could find such a reason to prove that she didn't really love Mr. Shao. mixed with other things.
She looked at Shao Zhiyuan lazily, and said with ill intentions: "Then don't worry, since I adore you, I will definitely love Mr. Shao very, very much, and I will try my best to be a good stepmother, why don't we let us reunite?" Let’s get acquainted, and you can also call your mother to listen?”
Even a fool could tell that she was playing tricks in her tone, Shao Zhiyuan's handsome face was angry: "I'm talking to you seriously!"
"Speak seriously? If you talk seriously to me, I have to take care of you seriously?" Xiaoguai smiled. "Before this, we had been living together for more than half a year, and you have scolded me for more than half a year, but now you tell me to talk seriously?"
In fact, this rain scene is pretty good, but with people who are bothered, no matter how beautiful it is, it is not the same. Xiaoguai stood up and walked towards the house, and "accidentally" stepped on Shao Zhiyuan's foot when he passed by Shao Zhiyuan's side.
Shao Zhiyuan hugged his feet in pain and cried out in pain, wanting to trouble Xiaoguai, but Xiaoguai lightly said sorry, and left without stopping again.
Mr. Shao had already slept soundly. Even so, his brows were still slightly frowned. The physical pain could not be relieved so easily. Xiaoguai sat lightly on the head of the bed and didn't go to bed. He just looked at it like that with him.
After a while, she suddenly laughed, feeling a little bored. I have watched it for so long and I can't get tired of it. When is it, I still think about something.
There was no fate between her and Mr. Shao, she forced it, so this fate will consume what she has. One day alive, one day passed, one day less. Death is getting closer, but Xiaoguai is not afraid at all. She never thought about what the world after death would be like. Did she disappear from the world, or turned into a lonely ghost
Well, it's the former.
But Mr. Shao can reincarnate well, but he no longer remembers himself after drinking Mengpo soup. The beginning of this love is vigorous, and the process is also full of sweetness, but the ending is life and death.
Time is terrible, so many people who love each other are separated because of this, and such deep love will eventually be forgotten. No matter how deeply engraved the memory is, it will gradually fade away.
In the end, no one remembers.
She touched Mr. Shao's forehead, then reached into the quilt to rub Mr. Shao's legs. Xiaoguai was so experienced that his movements were gentle, and Mr. Shao, who was sleeping soundly, unknowingly opened his brows, muttering Xiaoguai's name, probably dreaming of some beautiful scene, and couldn't help laughing.
Xiaoguai also laughed, she felt that such a Mr. Shao was a bit silly, not at all like the shrewd and majestic Mr. Shao in ordinary times. But she likes him so much, in fact she likes him no matter what he looks like. She was fascinated by his every expression and every movement, and because time was precious, she was more and more reluctant to let go.
I really don't want to leave him.
Xiaoguai thought.
The rain was murmuring outside the window, and the rain gradually intensified. Xiaoguai also got into bed and slept with Mr. Shao. As soon as she lay down next to him, he felt it. Although she was still fast asleep, her hands had already been habitually stretched out to hold Xiaoguai in her arms, rubbing her handsome face against the crook of her neck, and continued to sleep.
Xiaoguai touched his head and closed his eyes.
In fact, she doesn't need to sleep. The reason why she sleeps with her eyes closed is just a formality. Most of the time, she stares at Mr. Shao's sleeping face until dawn, and then she knows that when a new day comes, the old one will pass away. .
There is nothing left, nothing left.
The next morning when Mr. Shao woke up, Xiao Guai just came out of the bathroom. She wiped her hair, showed her beautiful body in front of him without any scruples, untied the bath towel around her, and found clothes to put on. During this period, Mr. Shao has been watching with admiring eyes, and Xiaoguai is very enthusiastic about it. She never deceived herself physically and emotionally. She liked Mr. Shao, so she wanted to get close to him. When the relationship came naturally, she would naturally desire the other person's body, wouldn't she
Mr. Shao swallowed, and in the morning light, Xiao Guai's body was carved out of suet and white jade, flawless in snow, even though he had stroked and kissed this body countless times, he was still fascinated by it.
The little girl changed her clothes, pinched Mr. Shao's earlobe provocatively, then kissed him and said, "Hurry up and wash up, and then go downstairs to have breakfast."
Mr. Shao's leg was inconvenient, so Xiao Guai took the prosthetic limb to help him fit it, and helped him put on his clothes by the way. When Mr. Shao walked into the bathroom, he found that the toothpaste had been squeezed, and the mouthwash and razor were silent. on his right hand.
Such a considerate little boy made Mr. Shao feel guilty. It stands to reason that older people know how to love others. Others say that Xiaoguai can be with him, which is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes. But for Mr. Shao, it is a blessing for him to meet Xiaoguai.
Who can believe that when the two of them are together, Xiaoguai is actually taking care of him like a child
This made him feel a little guilty. There was no chance for Xiaoguai's grand wedding, and their secluded life is still in the foreseeable future. He is old and disabled... Mr. Shao is starting to wonder what charm he has that can attract Xiaoguai to stay by his side.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if he were two sons, he would definitely not believe that Xiaoguai really loves him. But Mr. Shao could feel that Xiaoguai really loved him to the bottom of his heart. Mr. Shao even felt that even if Xiaoguai was to die for him, that little idiot would not hesitate.
Why are you so obedient and sensible? Every time Mr. Shao thinks of this, his heart feels warm and sweet. He didn't start acting like a baby until he was quite old. If others see him, they won't believe that he is the decisive Mr. Shao in the shopping mall.
Because after waiting for a while to find that Mr. Shao hadn't come out, Xiaoguai first knocked on the bathroom door curiously, then poked his head in and asked, "What are you doing? It's been so long, the food is getting cold!"
Mr. Shao had already finished washing, and he was just staring at himself in the mirror. He pays much attention to maintenance now, he has to make a facial mask every day, and he wants to go over there and get some hyaluronic acid or something. Anyway, he has to make himself look younger, and he can't always call him when he goes out with Xiao Guai. uncle
Mr. Shao was very upset.
Seeing Mr. Shao's disappointment, Xiaoguai walked in and asked, "What's the matter with you? You don't look very happy, are you thinking about something else?" What a bad problem, thinking about things all day long, and thinking about something useless.
Mr. Shao looked at her sadly, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, and said: "People say that the reason why most little girls find men who are much older than themselves is because older men hurt others. ?"
Xiaoguai: "..."
She understood what Mr. Shao was thinking about. She patted Mr. Shao on the back as if she were patting a child, and said with a smile, "That's not bad."
"Then do you think I will hurt people?" Mr. Shao's black eyes were shining, and he was extremely looking forward to hearing the praise and love for him from the mouth of the boy.
Xiaoguai: "Old age does hurt people, you see how much I love you."
Mr. Shao let out a breath in an instant, feeling very sad. Seeing this, Xiaoguai quickly hugged him back to comfort him: "Don't worry, I'm over 1900 years old, so much older than you~ You're only sixty—" Mr. Shao glared at him and quickly changed his words, "Okay, okay , fifty-eight..."
Mr. Shao emphasized: "It's fifty-eight years old."
"Yes, yes." The little chick nodded like pecking rice, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what other people say, look at you now, how do you take care of me? It's more reliable for me to take care of you, and I also like to take care of you. .”
After hearing this, Mr. Shao was very sweet in his heart, but still a little regretful: "I want to take care of you too."
"You have already taken good care of me! Give me food, clothes, and my basic necessities, what else do you want?"
After she finished speaking, she urged him to go to have breakfast quickly. When the two arrived at the dining room, both brothers Shao Zhiyuan and Shao Mingzhi had already started. Xiaoguai first took away Mr. Shao's cane and put it aside, then carefully helped him cut the fried egg on the plate into pieces of a suitable size for the mouth, and then smiled at him.
Basically, Mr. Shao doesn't need any company and care wherever Xiao Guai is.
Xiaoguai doesn’t like fried eggs anymore. Shao’s family is more westernized, so fried eggs are usually only half-cooked, and the yolk is soft and dense. They like it very much, but Xiaoguai can’t stand it. She must eat very ripe, all Westernized. She doesn't like anything, especially food.
The atmosphere of this breakfast was not bad, at least the Shao brothers didn't say anything strangely. You must know that as long as they eat at the same table, the two of them will never stop talking. I don't know how many times I have quarreled with Mr. Shao in the past half a year, and they always talk when Xiao Guai is around.
Shao Mingzhi looked very silent today. Xiaoguai looked back while he was looking at her, her big beautiful eyes blinked, as if she was winking, Shao Mingzhi stopped talking immediately, but he accidentally choked on the coffee and coughed violently. The butler hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Shao Mingzhi hastily cleaned it up, and couldn't help but want to stare at Xiaoguai again.
But this time he didn't say anything as soon as he saw Xiaoguai, but looked away in a bit of embarrassment, um... Xiaoguai really scared him last night.
Xiaoguai actually didn't think about it that much, she just teased Shao Mingzhi last night, no matter how lacking a man she was, no matter how charming she was, she couldn't lay hands on her lover's son, she wasn't that hungry.
And she had already discussed with Mr. Shao that they wouldn't stay here for long. Xiaoguai is very upset that there are always people interrupting and questioning their love. She doesn't have a lot of time, and every second is extremely precious, and she doesn't want to associate with irrelevant people at all.
The same is true of Mr. Shao, he just wants to hide Xiaoguai in a place that only the two of them know.
So even if the Shao brothers were killed, this breakfast was the last time the two of them saw Mr. Shao and Xiaoguai. After breakfast, the two went to work separately, and they were never found after returning.
All the properties of the Shao family have been transferred to the names of their two brothers. Mr. Shao signed the signature a long time ago. He finally realized that Xiao Guai doesn't want to appear in front of the world at all. She doesn't like those envious or malicious eyes. . She doesn't care whether others know her or not. She lives so happily, so she dare not publicize it, because God will always give you a fatal blow when you are the happiest.
Mr. Shao bought the island long ago, and on that island, they will be together forever.
There are residents on the small island, and there are servants who are responsible for taking care of them. What they have to do every day is to be together, not to be separated, day after day, year after year. The Shao brothers only knew that their father had bought a small island but didn't know the coordinates. They disappeared so completely that they didn't even leave any clues.
It was not until thirty years later that they received a letter from far away.
The letter said nothing, only an address. They followed the address to find the island, only to find out that the owner of the island had passed away half a month ago, and the whereabouts of his wife was unknown.
Shao Zhiyuan and Shao Mingzhi arrived in front of Mr. Shao's tomb. There were only a few words written on the tombstone: "Shao's tomb, there is nothing on the place where the person who erected the tomb signed, but there was a picture of a cute little fox."
No one knows where Xiaoguai has gone, her appearance and disappearance are so miraculous. It seems that she came to this world just to meet and fall in love with Mr. Shao, and after Mr. Shao passed away, she also disappeared.
Live for love, die for love.
That's it.
They have been together for thirty years. For most couples who grow old together, this time is not too long, and it is even frighteningly short.
It probably corresponds to that poem.
You were born before I was born, I was old when I was born; You hate that I was born late, but I hate that you were born early.
You were born before I was born, I was old when I was born.
I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born; I am far away from you, and you are separated from me.
I was born before you were born, and I am old when you were born; I turn into a butterfly to find flowers, and live in fragrant grass every night.
But the truth begins with the Naihe Bridge in nothingness.
That day, Qing Huan saw a female ghost.
She is no different from other female ghosts, she has one nose, two eyes and one mouth, she looks very beautiful and charming, and she can feel all kinds of amorous feelings from far away.
There are many beautiful women, but there are always some women whose beauty can no longer be described as moving.
Such is the case with female ghosts.
Qing Huan asked her name, she was at a loss for a long time before saying that she was Xiaoguai. Qing Huan was slightly taken aback, what kind of name was this? Everyone who came to Naihe Bridge had a first name, but she could tell that it was not that Xiaoguai, the female ghost, had forgotten her own name, but that she hadn't.
Qing Huan asked: "Why are you called Xiaoguai, and where does this name come from?"
The female ghost Xiaoguai smiled, a little nostalgic, a little panicked, and a little bit regretful. Instead of answering Qing Huan's question directly, she asked her: "Can I go back? Can I still live?"
Qing Huan didn't understand the meaning of her question. She doesn't like to check what a person did in life by flipping through the book of life and death, and she doesn't like to pinch her fingers to count their life experiences. Most of the ghosts who arrived at the Naihe Bridge were a little uneasy, but Qing Huan sat here quietly, listening to them talk about the things they are unwilling to forget, can't let go... one by one, then have a dream, drink Meng Po Tang, when you walk to the end of Naihe Bridge, you can truly let go.
But Xiaoguai, the female ghost, asked her if she could go back at the very beginning, as if she knew who she was. Qing Huan asked: "You know me?"
"I don't know." The female ghost Xiaoguai shook her head. "But I know that even if the girl is not a god, she is an existence beyond my imagination. Girl, I have unfulfilled wishes and unfulfilled promises. I must go back."
Qing Huan looked at her carefully for a few seconds before saying firmly, "You were not a human being when you were alive."
The female ghost Xiaoguai smiled at her: "I'm a fox."
Ten-tailed foxes.
Qing Huan couldn't help but think of the nine-tailed fox she saw a long time ago. Most of the people who came here were humans. She almost forgot that there were some non-human existences. So she asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to where I came from." The female ghost Xiaoguai asked seriously. "I have lived for more than 1,900 years. Although I sometimes mischievously tease humans, I have never done bad things, nor killed innocent people indiscriminately. I have even done good deeds, and cast down demons. Let me go back, please, can you?"
Her eyes are big and moving, shining with the innocence and cleanliness unique to animals, Qing Huan looked at her for a while, and Fang said: "Why do you want to go back?"
"I promised Shao that I will go back to accompany him." The female ghost Xiaoguai smiled shyly. "We made an appointment to be together for ten lives and ten lives. This is only nine lives, and there is one more."
Qing Huan looked at her.
The female ghost Xiaoguai continued: "I have to go back, please girl, I just found him and died, I can't die, at least not now!"
"Do you know that one of your ten tails will die every time you stay with him for a lifetime. Now you only have one tail left, and you are still eligible for reincarnation. If you insist on going back, you will disappear from now on."
"It's okay! I like him, I don't care, I'm not afraid." The female ghost Xiaoguai smiled sweetly. "That happened a long, long time ago. At that time, I was still a little fox in the world who wanted to cultivate to become a fairy. When I practiced for five hundred years, I encountered a thunder calamity. It was Shao who saved me and he healed me. , raised me, and when I recovered from my injuries, he would release me. I observed him quietly, and I knew he was good and kind, so I fell in love with him. Do you know? It’s good to be a human being!”
Qing Huan looked at her with a smile.
"It's a pity that I can't transform into a human form. That's how I have been living and living. When transforming into a human form, I am always imperfect. Either I have ears or a tail. I went down the mountain and stole women's clothes to wear, but unfortunately I didn't. Looks good. I thought to myself, I have to practice hard. But Shao will be reincarnated after death, and I always want to find him. So I always wander around. Although we have a wonderful connection, this search is still It was very difficult. I was not perfect, so I didn’t dare to meet him. When I was a thousand years old, I finally succeeded in transforming! I went to him, and he liked me very much, so we were together.”
Speaking of this, she showed a sweet smile on her face, thinking that those days were extremely beautiful.
But soon, her smile turned into a haze. "But I'm a fox, and I can't give birth to him. He always said that he wants to be with me forever, but people and monsters have different ways, and someone has to pay the price. I can't let him get hurt, so I do it with my own cultivation and life. To make up for it, every time I stay with him for a lifetime, it will consume a hundred years of cultivation and one life. So I can only agree with him for ten lives. He has been a blacksmith, a soldier, a son of a family, a knight in the rivers and lakes, and once an emperor, um... There was another time when he was a woman, but I didn’t care, as long as I was with him, I could become a man when he was a woman! But I met a powerful person before I found him in the tenth life, Xiu Because there is only a hundred years left, he is not his opponent at all, he died in a daze, I, I haven't found Shao yet! We made an appointment! Ten lives and ten lives, fulfilling this promise, after his death, reincarnation, and then You won't remember me either, and our previous kindness will be settled!"
Hearing this, Qing Huan sighed with pity, but said again: "You know, if you insist on going back, it's not impossible, but from then on, there will be no more you in the world. Originally, your marriage with him for ten lives ended, and you You will break away from the demon way and be reincarnated as a human being. Although you will no longer have fate, you will be able to live well. But if you choose to go back now, you have to give up this right. That is to say, after completing the agreement of the tenth life, you will live in Shao After death, it will be wiped out at the same time, aren't you afraid?"
"Not afraid." The female ghost Xiaoguai was very firm, "I'm not afraid of anything, as long as I can be with him."
Qing Huan smiled, "I can help you fulfill this wish."
"Help me? How?"
Qing Huan immediately turned into the appearance of Xiao Guai, a female ghost, and the two stood facing each other, and they couldn't tell which was Xiao Guai and which was Qing Huan. "I used your appearance to find him for you and complete the tenth life. Of course, this is actually just a cover, and you will start to fall asleep. In your sleep, you are me, and I am you. You can feel everything when you are with him. understand?"
"No." The female ghost Xiaoguai refused without even thinking about it. "We made an appointment, I can't break my promise, I must find him in person."
Qing Huan said: "If you insist on doing this, the final outcome..."
"The reason why I want to become a fairy is because it is a beautiful fantasy. I have never seen a fairy, but I have seen people. In fact, I want to be a human most. Someone loves and can love others. Human beings are so beautiful. I have always I like them very much and want to be their kind. But the way of heaven divides us too clearly. If a demon wants to be a human, he will have to pay a huge price. I am willing, and I have no regrets."
"Girl, haven't you ever loved someone?"
Qing Huan couldn't answer her question, but asked again: "You really don't regret it?"
"No regrets." She answered firmly.
"In that case, I will make your wish come true. It's just that you died halfway and came to Naihe Bridge, and it is impossible to find him when you return to the world. Time is a wonderful thing. Maybe he has gray hair, maybe he hasn't yet. Birth, even he's dead... but in any case, not at the best of times, good luck to you."
The female ghost Xiaoguai bowed to Qing Huan with human etiquette, devoutly and gratefully: "Thank you, miss."
It has no regrets.
It never regrets.
