The funeral for the sorceress is very simple, since the master didn't come back, I will take care of everything. Writing sacrificial rites, saving lives, chanting scriptures, everything is done by myself. The sorceress is considered a prestigious person in the department, but not many people come to worship. At first I didn't understand it, but later I realized that they were all taboo about a past event.
In addition to asking me to help find the soul of Xiao Mi's mother, the wish of the sorceress also has another request, which is to bury her and Xiao Mi's mother together after Xiao Mi's mother dies. Originally, the department would not intervene in the funeral affairs, but the department strongly objected to this matter, saying that it was necessary to bury Xiao Mi's parents together.
Xiao Mi's father died in the Northeast, and he was buried in the Northeast at that time. Now there are only two ways, one is to bury Xiao Mi's mother in the northeast, and the other is to move Xiao Mi's father's ashes back to Beijing to be buried with Xiao Mi's mother.
And when Xiao Mi knew the final decision made to her mother, she was unexpectedly calm. I didn't make a fuss, I completely obeyed the decision from above.
Before the execution, Xiao Mi and I went to the place where Xiao Mi's mother was imprisoned.
Words such as cold, damp, and dark are probably the best descriptions for this place. Layers of protection, I don't think even a fly can fly in.
Behind the big iron gate is a long corridor. At the end of the corridor is a dark room with a pale woman sitting in the corner. The candlelight illuminated her face like a female ghost who had died long ago. But this person is still alive, but without thinking, without consciousness, she may not even know that she is still alive.
I vaguely remember that many years ago, Xiao Mi and I saw this woman in the basement of our compound in that small city. Those in charge of guarding the woman are not the guards or the people in the department, but the magic circle specially set up by the master and the others. In order to prevent others from finding out, and also to prevent Xiao Mi's mother from being manipulated, she did something that endangered the department.
Thinking about it now, from the very beginning, people in the department tabooed Xiao Mi's mother.
Because she has been exposed to too many things in the department, and her identity is too important. The sorceress spent her whole life trying to find the lost soul of Xiao Mi's mother, but unfortunately, she couldn't achieve it.
Xiao Mi stood beside the woman, her eyes were red, and she was holding the handkerchief that the sorceress asked me to give her. Xiao Mi gently wiped the woman's cheek with a handkerchief. Although she has been imprisoned like this, the woman's face is still pretty, and there is a shadow of this woman on Xiao Mi's face.
"Mom, my aunt has already gone, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my aunt's wish!"
The woman giggled, as if she didn't understand anything, and watched Xiao Mi clapping her hands. It's not noisy or noisy, I feel very uncomfortable seeing it like this.
I don't think she ever thought about it herself, that one day she would become like this.
I stayed with Xiao Mi for a long time, until someone came in and urged us to leave.
Holding the iron door, Xiao Mi knelt on the ground and kowtowed softly, "Mom, I will be your daughter in the next life, and I will be filial to you and my aunt when the time comes!"
The woman looked at Xiao Mi ignorantly, and finally clapped her hands with a smirk.
I helped Xiao Mi get up, walked to the corner and couldn't help but look back at Xiao Mi's mother, there was a crystal teardrop under her smile, my heart was suddenly shocked, I don't know why The instinct of maternal love is that she understood Xiao Mi's words.
I know that in this world, the care parents give to their children is always the most selfless and without regret, but Xiao Mi's mother lacks a soul, so it should be impossible to know it!
When he came out of the prison, Xiao Mi insisted on burying the sorceress and his mother together. This incident alarmed the people in the department, and the people above seemed very angry when they heard about it. Later, people who should have come to worship the witch did not dare to set foot in our courtyard.
Uncle Hei Ying came to dissuade Xiao Mi on behalf of the department, but Xiao Mi refused to budge.
"When people are alive, they can't do what they want to do. Don't you want to let them go after they die?" Xiao Mi insisted stubbornly.
"Xiao Mi, don't be self-willed, don't meddle in the affairs of the department, children and family!" Uncle Heiying was also very angry.
"I am no longer a child! One is my aunt and the other is my biological mother. I am their closest relative. Uncle Heiying, as you said, they are already dead. As their closest relative, their descendants It is up to me to take care of the matter. If you must intervene, then we can only meet in court."
"You!" Uncle Heiying's face was livid with anger, "You know that the affairs of the department cannot be stretched, you are getting more and more outrageous, you child! The sorceress just left, and Master Sun is not in Beijing, so you are getting stubborn."
Uncle Heiying was so angry by Xiao Mi that he raised his hand as if he was about to hit him down, I hurried forward to stop him. Otherwise, with Uncle Heiying's slap, Xiao Mi would definitely bleed from the corner of his mouth.
I kept Xiao Mi behind me, but this girl was still unyielding, "If you really push me, I can do anything. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
I never thought that Xiao Mi, who has always been obedient, would have such a persistent side. Of course, in order to protect his face, the department did not dare to expose anyone or anything in the department. After all, this department is a state secret, so it was a compromise in the end.
The goddess and Xiao Mi's mother can be buried together, but their names cannot be engraved on the grave. But this is the best ending!
Not long after the witch's death, Xiao Mi's mother was secretly executed. It was already a month later when the two parties finished their affairs.
If the big courtyard, it seems more quiet. The white cloth on the beams fell, and there was no suitable adjective for it other than lifeless.
Thirteen's task this time is to assist the sorceress in rescuing Su Muyan. After completing the task, she went to the department to report. Of course, the higher authorities have always attached great importance to Su Muyan. Since Su Muyan was rescued, several groups of people were sent from above, and they even came to talk to Su Muyan several times a day. The content can be imagined, all for Zhou Yang.
I am very disgusted with the above approach, but there is nothing I can do. This is the reason why they agreed to my secret marriage with Su Muyan, otherwise they would not care about Su Muyan's life or death!
Xiao Mi's mood is very low, and she hasn't smiled these days.
After dinner in the evening, Xiao Mi went to sit under the tree in the yard. I was very worried about her.
"Go and have a look!" Su Muyan said beside me. "Some things, maybe only you can cheer her up."
"Can I?" Looking into Su Muyan's eyes, I saw myself from there. Since the dark marriage, we seem to be much closer, and I don't shy away from holding her hand when the two of us are alone. Because I always have a feeling that if my master Zhou Yang returns, she will no longer belong to me.
Taking advantage of the present, when I can own it with a high-sounding sound, I want to be by her side properly. Hehe, this can be regarded as a little selfishness of mine, a desire in my heart that I dare not speak out. Once this person's desire appears, it is really difficult to control. At this moment, I have lost myself in the dream of owning her, unable to extricate myself.
Su Muyan looked at me like she was looking at an ignorant child, with a little displeasure on her face, but she was not really displeased. In the end, she just shook her head helplessly, "Go and comfort her!"
Actually, I don't know what Su Muyan was thinking when he made this decision. Later, I also thought about it, she must have struggled in her heart!
As usual, I went to the yard. Standing in the yard, I still looked back at Su Muyan.
For a woman like her, the temperament she exudes around her can fascinate many men. She just stood outside the courtyard and looked at me quietly, neither approaching nor leaving.
I tried to adjust a good mood, squeezed out a warm smile and sat down beside Xiao Mi, and asked softly, "Why don't you go to rest?"
Xiao Mi glanced at me sideways, and said in a cold tone, "Sister, don't you need to accompany your ghost wife?"
Xiao Mi's words teased me for a moment, "Well, I don't think you ate much for dinner. Are you hungry? Sister, I'll give you the next meal! Do you remember when you were young, you were always hungry every night, so I Here you go, you said my noodles were delicious."
Xiao Mi stared into my eyes for a long time without speaking, and suddenly smiled lightly, which made me a little unnatural. "Senior Sister, do you really think the noodles you serve are delicious? Do you really think I can't get enough to eat every night?" Xiao Mi said, taking out the handkerchief left by the sorceress from her bosom, "You know this What does the mandarin duck embroidered on it mean?"
I was a little confused by Xiao Mi's series of questions, I shook my head, "What do you mean?"
"Heh, it's embroidered with two female mandarin ducks!"
I couldn't turn the corner right away in my head, no wonder I looked at this mandarin duck a little strangely, it was different from what I usually saw, it turned out to be two female mandarin ducks.
"Senior sister, let me tell you a story!" Xiao Mi's forced smile made me feel more and more distressed. We have been together since we were young, and I know Xiao Mi's life experience very well. In comparison, I at least have relatives such as my mother, my brother, and my master who loves me, but Xiao Mi is alone!
Xiao Mi said that a long time ago, there was a pair of teachers and sisters who had a good relationship since childhood. They learn Taoism together, eat together, sleep together, and eliminate demons and defend Taoism together. To outsiders, they look like sisters. Never quarreled, nor turned faces.
Such days are ordinary and simple, but also very happy. But the happy time is always short, it's like a curse, God can't understand such simple happiness.
In a blink of an eye, the pair of teachers and sisters gradually grew up, and gradually understood that the relationship between them was not just a teacher's relationship, not just a friendship, and not just a sisterhood.
In that era, two women actually had a relationship between a man and a woman, which sounded ridiculous. But no one can explain things like feelings clearly, and no one can control them. There is no reason for love, especially two people who have been deeply in love for a long time. So the pair of teachers and sisters decided not to marry for life and to accompany each other.
The days are plain, but the hearts of the two are sweet. What's more, in the Taoist sect, it's not a big deal not to marry for life.
But the good times didn't last long, and the relationship between the two was unfortunately known to outsiders after all.
Struggling, hesitant, and helpless, they are regarded as immoral people who have betrayed their ancestors' laws and social ethics. Such people cannot be tolerated by departments, divisions, or society.
The two stayed up all night and hugged each other for a long time. Those dreams of beauty are fading away. What is left is pain, a scar that makes the heart ache hard to heal. That night, no one spoke, and no one mentioned the future. They all knew in their hearts that the only way to solve the matter was to separate.
In the end, in order to take care of the sect to hide their faces, and also for the sake of each other, as a senior sister, she finally made up her mind and agreed to the marriage of her senior brother, so as to calm the turmoil.
Fortunately, the senior brother from the same school didn't mind, but the senior sister has never been happy in her life since then.
The senior sister made such a decision for the sake of the junior sister, so the junior sister has been guilty of it for the rest of her life. She was ashamed of her senior sister's friendship with her, ashamed of her senior brother's silent devotion to her senior sister but never received a response.
Later, the soul of the senior sister left the body and did not go where. For the sake of the senior sister, the junior sister devoted her whole life, but in the end it still failed.
Until her death, the junior sister still brooded on her heart.
"Senior sister, this is the most shameful incident in the department back then. Do you know who the pair of senior sisters are?" Xiao Mi smiled, with a bit of bitterness on her face.
Hearing this, I actually already have the answer in my heart, but I dare not say it.
"That senior sister is my mother, and that senior sister is my aunt! When I found out about this, I wasn't surprised. I just felt sorry for them. Lovers can't get married in the end, and they have to be restrained by the department after death. rule.
There are too many rules and regulations that bind them for a lifetime, and they will be imprisoned in the so-called moral shackles after death, and they cannot be in the same place.
But what did they do wrong? They just love each other, they just want to stay together for life, who are they hindering? "
I didn't like the excitement that Xiao Mi said. Thinking about the relationship between Su Muyan and me, if it wasn't because the people above wanted to know Zhou Yang's whereabouts, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree to the ghost marriage between the two women. I can't imagine that if the people above know my true feelings for Su Muyan, will they use various means to force me to make a decision that I don't want to make.
I looked at Xiao Mi silently, feeling a little sour in my heart.
Suddenly this girl plunged into my arms and hugged me tightly.
"Senior sister, don't you understand? I don't think there is anything wrong with the relationship between a woman and a woman, and I won't be surprised by the relationship between my mother and my aunt. It's because I feel the same way, Senior Sister..."
"Junior Sister!" I suddenly understood. I was afraid that Xiao Mi would say it, so I hurriedly pushed her away and interrupted, "You are exhausted these two days, why don't you rest early!"
Xiao Mi looked up at me, and burst into tears, "Senior Sister, why? Why can you be so good to that female ghost, why can't I? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with that female ghost? Are you still Don't understand what I mean
How hard I have endured these years, I thought that even if I didn't say it, at least we can still be the same as before. Even if we never get married, we can still be together forever. But if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance. Oh, but it turns out that all this is just my self-righteousness! "
Standing in front of me, Xiao Mi grew taller and became more and more charming. The immaturity of a child is gone, and the beauty of a woman is added. But I never thought that Xiao Mi would...
"Senior sister, do you understand now? Do you know what I mean?" Xiao Mi approached step by step, I was a little at a loss, and instinctively started to back away. I promised the witch to take good care of her, but now, I really don't know what to do.
"Xiao Mi, listen to me. I have always treated you as my own sister. I should take care of you and care about you. Now that the uncle is gone, I promised that the uncle will take good care of you."
Xiao Mi stopped suddenly, her eyes seemed to be stung by something. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he said with self-mockery, "Sure enough, I did it all on my own accord! Sister, I don't need your care!"
"Xiao Mi!" Seeing her like this, I felt very distressed, but just now I wanted to reach out, touch her hair and pat her on the shoulder as usual, but she looked like a frightened little animal.
His body trembled, and he retreated suddenly.
"Do not touch me!"
One sentence shortened the distance between us, my hand stopped in the air, and the atmosphere was so stiff that I wished I could find a hole in the ground immediately.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice broke the rigidity.
"You are here! Zhuang Jin, someone wants to see you!" After Shisan finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Mi and me, frowned slightly, and then pulled Xiao Mi away, "Master Mi The higher-ups asked me to explain the matter to you. It is mainly about some matters of the department, and there is one more thing that I need to clarify with you!" Thirteen turned back and glanced at me after finishing speaking.
I stood there, bewildered.
"Perhaps you are the only one who didn't see it, even Shisan saw it!" Su Muyan sighed slightly in my ear.
"I, I don't, I'm not! I, I only have sisterhood towards Xiao Mi, the teacher's righteousness! Really!" I was a little flustered, I didn't know how to explain.
Su Muyan put her finger on my lips, and smiled slightly, "I believe you! I understand! I'm just worried about how you will face Xiao Mi in the future."
I myself didn't know how to face Xiao Mi, and my heart was in a mess, which was completely beyond my expectation. But I know that I have already broken Xiao Mi's heart.
Back in the hall, the sound of footsteps outside the door approached. Thirteen said that someone wants to see me, so it must be someone.
But I didn't expect that the person who came to see me would be her!
