I leaned on Lisha's back, and our group walked towards Jiangfu. He walked slowly and steadily. I closed my eyes and slept unsteadily for a while. When I opened my eyes, we had already arrived at Jiangfu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I left this place, I came back again. Old Madam Jiang shut herself in the dark room without lighting, her voice came faintly from inside, "Let that girl in."

I stepped into a dark room, she sat on a chair with her back to me, and told me: "Light up the lamp." I lit up the lamp, and the light dimly illuminated the empty room Mrs. Jiang's peaceful and serene face.

"Xian'er often lights a lamp for me like this. I don't like it, so he took a small candle and lit it, just for fear that I would stumble in the dark." I listened quietly to her recalling, she There was a rare kindness on his face.

"Xian'er is very sensible and kind. He likes bright places, but since he was nine years old, we moved to this dark house. Healthy and healthy, free from disease and disaster..." She said, closing her eyes tightly, her face full of signs of time looked older and older, and the wrinkles seemed to be deep on her face.

I sighed shallowly, and said to her with a touch of comfort: "I always believe that good people are rewarded with good things, and God will not treat kind people badly."

She laughed suddenly when she heard the words, looked at me with a subtle expression and said, "Girl, I actually like you quite a bit, your personality is very similar to mine when I was young."

Who is as dark as you... I slandered, then looked at her expressionlessly and said, "I'm here to do what you asked me to do, and I also hope that you can keep your promise and let the Taoist priest untie the pain on me." Gushu."

"What? Those Taoist priests at Feiyun Temple couldn't help you?" She asked me knowingly.

I rolled my eyes towards the sky, "You didn't say that, the Gu on my body can only be removed by two people in the whole world?"

She was suddenly silent when she heard the words, and her expression fell into deep thought. I waited quietly for her to speak, after a long time, she looked at me and said lightly: "Yi Zhi will never come again."

"What do you mean?" My heart skipped a beat, and I looked up at her.

"Girl, if your Gu is not removed tonight, it will attack in the early morning, and then it will occur every few days. The pain is unbearable, and you may not be able to bear it for long... There is still one person in this world who can save your life. It is my senior sister, if you can find her, you will have a chance to save your life. Now let me tell you, her name is Mu Jing, and there is a scar on her left eyebrow, if she is still alive, maybe she is willing to help you."

After she finished speaking, she stood up slowly on crutches, looked at the dark night outside the window and murmured to herself: "I don't know how you are doing..."

I walked out of the room with a heavy heart, Liang Yi and Li Sha rushed to greet me, I didn't speak, Liang Yi looked at me for a long time and said: "Jiang Zixian is dead."

I couldn't help looking at the lawn in the backyard, and I remembered the scene that day, the sun shone in slightly, the breeze was blowing, the boy in white leaned over slightly, with a focused and comfortable expression.

Back at the residence, I sat at the door with my knees in my arms in a daze. Li Sha took a coat and put it on for me, twisted my nose, looked at me lovingly and asked, "The nose is red from the cold, are you still so stupid?" Sit here."

Maybe it's because he hasn't treated me like this for a long time, and I'm not used to it, but I didn't feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. I smiled at him silly, then looked up at the crooked moon and asked blankly: " You said, will I die?"

"What nonsense, there must be a way to get rid of your Gu, don't think about it." Li Sha angrily reprimanded me in an elder brother's tone.

I didn't tell him that this was the first time I had a seizure tonight. Seeing his affirmative expression, I felt very relieved. At this moment, I didn't seem to be so afraid of everything I was about to face.

Under the gaze of the two of them, I wrapped my quilt and slowly closed my eyes. When I heard the sound of footsteps leaving gently, my heart became empty. When I opened my eyes, the dark night outside the window was like a monster with teeth and claws, as if to devour me.

I don't know what time it was, and the night was far from over. I woke up suddenly, and opened my eyes blankly. The candle on the table was still burning, giving off a faint light. Suddenly, a severe pain hit my head, I covered my head, the pain became more severe, like being bitten by countless insects, I curled up into a ball, my fingers were extremely cold, and my nails turned black. I grabbed the quilt, cold sweat ran down my cheeks, and I couldn't help crying out.

The door was slammed open, someone rushed in, covered the top of my head with warm palms, I raised my head to look at him with difficulty, Lisha's eyes were red, and his expression seemed to be in more pain than mine, he lifted my back up , hugged me tightly with both hands, and asked softly in my ear: "Does it hurt? Wen Yi."

Liang Yi also came in, and he sat on the edge of the bed. I saw his eyes were red, he looked at me motionlessly, and then rushed out.

"Where is he going?" I asked, looking at the open door.

Li Sha didn't answer me, he stroked my hair and kept wiping away the beads of sweat oozing from my forehead with his hands.

I don't know how long the pain lasted, I just felt that the light shining into the room was very bright, I slowly opened my eyes, Li Shashou fell asleep beside my bed, I turned sideways, and looked at him firmly Sleeping face.

He seemed to be having a bad dream, and he was frowning tightly in the dream. I raised my hand and pointed my index finger at the place where his frown was, and his brow seemed to be slightly stretched. I stared at his face in a daze. His nose bridge was straight and his lips were a little chapped. My fingers touched his lips involuntarily. Touching his dry lips seemed like an adventure. I looked at his enlarged face in front of my eyes, and my heart was pounding. Looking at my black eyeballs, I quickly turned my back and buried my whole body under the quilt.

There was no movement outside the quilt, my face was burning, I couldn't guess what Lisha's expression was like, maybe he only regarded me as his younger sister, but sometimes it didn't feel like it to me, but now I don't have the mood to speculate These, in my lifetime, can let him understand some of my thoughts in such an abrupt way, it is also worth it.

After Liang Yi rushed out last night, he didn't come back until the next afternoon. He couldn't find any news about Mu Jing. She is the senior sister of Mrs. Jiang. If she is still alive, she is already in her twilight years up.

But for some reason, I always feel that her name is a bit familiar, as if I saw or heard it somewhere.

After Yu Ning came back from Jiangfu that day, she fell into a coma for three days. She came to me immediately after waking up. I knew she blamed herself for this and felt that she owed me. She began to do her best to take care of my daily life. Although I didn't need her to help me, it seemed that only in this way could she feel at ease. She came from a delicate family and was more clumsy than I was, but I thought she was very cute.

I ate the cakes that Yu Ning bought for me and ran a few streets for me. I stood quietly in front of the window and watched the scenery. I don’t know how long it took, but my eyes were a little tired. However, the people in the carriage opened the curtain to look around, although it was only for a moment, I could clearly see the person inside, it was He Yun.

"Wen Yi, why are you still standing here?" I turned my head when I heard the sound, Yu Ning walked quickly to my side, closed the window, and said to me: "It's so windy outside, be careful of catching a cold."

"Yu Ning." I called her, and she turned to look at me and asked, "What's wrong?" I looked at her and told her, "Don't go out these few days, don't run out alone, do you know?"

"Why? Isn't the Jiang family not going to trouble us now?" She looked at me suspiciously.

"Well, Young Master Jiang is dead, and Mrs. Jiang's obsession should also be let go. But Yu Ning, you look back and think about it, was it because of Jiang's family that you were arrested when you left the palace?"

She fell into deep thought when she heard the words, then looked at me affirmatively and said: "No, the Jiang family fell in love with me through the introduction of Wang Matchmaker, and Wang Matchmaker wanted to make a fortune. I only know that the person who arrested me and Matchmaker Wang met, he seemed to just want to put me in a secret place at first, but then there was no news about that person, maybe it was Matchmaker Wang who thought that person would never come again, so she sold me to the Jiang family... But I I always feel that things are not that simple, and that person will come to me one day."

"Well, I think it's about today."

He Yun's arrival is an extremely dangerous signal, even if Yu Ning is not allowed to go out, he will come to the door soon, not to mention that we live in an inn, it is easy to find us.
