After returning home, Xiao Lizi saw her mother, Xiaoshi, and her sister, Xiaohua, gossiping while embroidering on the kang.
"Mom, when I went out to play, I heard that Xiaoqin's family invited a matchmaker from out of town. Are they going to marry Xiaoqin?" Xiaohua asked.
"Alas, a good young girl has been tainted by evil spirits and her reputation has been ruined. Who from all over the country would be willing to marry her? It would be better to find a stranger. They don't know about these scandals. Even if they find out in the future, In order to keep the scandal of the family from being publicized, it will be covered up by the brocade, and it will be treated as if nothing happened." Mrs. Xiao responded with a sigh.
Xiao Dizi listened for a while, sighing secretly at Xiao Qin's misfortune, while recalling the loving relationship between herself and Xiao Qin in her dream. She felt uneasy for a while, and felt a little listless during dinner.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao asked with concern: "Mizi, you have been sullen and unhappy when you came back from school. Did you make another mistake and was taught by your teacher?"
Xiao Dizi hesitated and said: "No, mother. When school was over, my husband gave me an assignment alone. I was thinking about how to complete the assignment."
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she immediately turned her worries into joy and said with a smile: "Oh, my wife is very promising, and your husband actually gives you homework alone! I have always heard that only students who do well in their studies will be given homework by their husband alone. , what people say is that Mr. is fond of him——"
"Beautiful green eyes!" Xiao Hua added from the side.
"Yes, yes, you have a green eye." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "Look, if I send your sister to school, she will definitely be a handsome student, maybe even better than you!"
The family chatted and laughed for a while, and then the young lady went into her side room and started thinking about the composition, but she had no idea. The composition had no idea of solving the topic, and he fell asleep unknowingly in his depression.
Ever since he dug up the Wolf Fang Sword, he had had those strange dreams whenever he slept with the Wolf Fang Sword next to him. However, this time he did not dream, and slept extremely soundly in the first half of the night.
In the middle of the night, he woke up in a haze, but couldn't fall back to sleep. When I stared and thought, I felt a gurgling sound inside my body, as if there was a lot of water flowing back and forth inside.
Hearing such a noise, he couldn't help but be shocked.
A few years ago, he heard someone say that when Xiaoqin's grandfather got the Qi Gu, his whole body was swollen to the point of being transparent, and every time he pressed it, there would be a gurgling sound in his body. That Qi Gu is a disease that cannot be cured. Xiaoqin's grandfather died after being ill for a year or two.
At this moment, he suspected that he was suffering from Qi Gu disease like Grandpa Xiaoqin. He was surprised and frightened. He wanted to cry loudly, but he was afraid of disturbing his mother and sister, so he had to endure it.
The tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks, and they wet the pillow in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it was because he consumed too much energy due to grief, but after an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep again.
In his sleep, he heard a gentle voice saying: "Boy, don't panic, you don't have any incurable disease at all. I am now cutting your marrow and washing away the dirt in your body and soul. Those splashing sounds you hear are the movements of me washing your body. After cutting the marrow and washing the dust, your body will become clear and pure, and your soul will be sublimated and will no longer be chaotic and stupid. This is good for you. It’s a great benefit, you should be happy!”
The words echoed among his limbs and bones, making it difficult for him to hear exactly who was speaking. However, he vaguely sensed the sound that seemed to be made by Hong Rui.
Hong Rui's wonderful figure lingered in his mind, and her gentle and pleasant voice was still fresh in his memory.
He vaguely concluded that Hongrui possessed his body, but in the few days after the possession, Hongrui did not move at all, as if he was not possessed, which once surprised him.
Now, however, he was starting to feel relieved.
Hong Rui's cutting of his marrow and cleansing him now was the first action after possessing him, and it might bring him greater benefits in the future. He just had to wait patiently.
Since Hongrui is not hurting him but bringing him benefits, he has nothing to worry about.
Before dawn, he woke up from his sleep and touched his body and found that it was covered with a thick layer of mud from top to bottom. After peeling off the mud on his face, he turned over and sat up. Looking at the sticky, black dirt on his body, he couldn't help but grin. He picked up the clothes on the bedside and went to the stream behind the house to wash himself naked. .
The dirt that he rubbed off with all his strength almost turned the originally clear stream into a black stream.
After spending about a meal, he had just washed away the dirt on his body. Seeing that his originally rough skin had become smooth and shiny, he couldn't help but grin.
After putting on his clothes, he sat by the creek, feeling the breeze blowing over his body, and felt very happy.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of washing not far away, and couldn't help but startled.
At this time, except for situations like him who have to take a bath, who would come here to take a bath?
Feeling curious, he quietly got up and tiptoed to the place where the sound of washing came from. He vaguely saw a white body lying in the stream.
The man lying in the stream seemed to have seen him. He stood up and asked nervously: "Who?"
The sound was not loud, but it was very sharp.
Xiao Dizi could tell that it was Xiao Qin's voice, so he hurried back.
It's not a good thing for a boy to peek at a girl taking a bath. It would be very embarrassing if it was publicized.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoqin put on her clothes and rushed over. When she got closer, she saw it was him, so she asked, "Brother Lizi, why are you here?"
"I, I wanted to come out and relieve myself. I heard something moving here, so I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, I saw you." Xiao Dizi suppressed his panic, looked around and said, "Xiaoqin, I can I didn’t mean to look at you, and I didn’t see anything clearly. I don’t understand, what are you doing here in vain?”
Xiao Qin looked at Xiao Lizi intently, then lowered her head, rubbed her clothes with both hands, and whispered: "Brother Lizi, you may also know that I have been in a coma for several days. I just woke up and feel all over. It stinks, so I secretly came here to take a shower."
"I did hear people say that you fell into a coma, and they also said that you were possessed by some evil spirit. What on earth is going on?" Xiao Dizi asked timidly.
"People say that I am possessed by evil spirits, but that is not the case." Xiaoqin still lowered her head and said, "When I was sleeping, I kept dreaming, and it was always you who dreamed about me. In my dream, We, the two of us are still——"
At this point, Xiao Qin stopped talking and her face was still a little blushing.
After hearing this, Xiao Dizi thought to himself: Ah, I dreamed of Xiaoqin in my dream. It turns out that Xiaoqin also dreamed of me in her dream. What a coincidence! It seems that Xiaoqin is indeed not possessed by evil spirits, and it is most likely me who is possessing her. However, if such a thing were told, no one would believe it except me.
It's a pity that Xiaoqin, an innocent young girl, had her reputation ruined like this!
"I heard that your family has found a matchmaker to marry you to a foreign country. Is this true?"
Xiao Mizi didn't want to think any more and asked.
Hearing this, Xiaoqin nodded slightly and said, "Brother Lizi, I'm leaving!"
After that, he moved quickly and left, and only looked back when he reached the corner.
At this moment, an idea flashed in Xiao Dizi's mind, and she seemed to see Xiao Qin's future appearance. That future image is hazy and fuzzy, but it is definitely Xiaoqin as an adult. At that time, in the eyes of an adult, Xiao Qin might be able to see some hints of prostitution, but to Xiao Mizi, who was inexperienced in the world, such an image would only make him feel strange.
