Oh (ō) Oh (ò) Oh (ó) Woo (ū)~!
At the end of the year, the sounds of cockcrows coming from far and near in Suzhou gradually stopped, as well as the sounds of shouting children, talking loudly, making noises, and pots and pans coming from nearby neighbors who were tossing around at home. After the ding-dong and other busy sounds became more and more noisy, the early morning sunlight finally shone obliquely into the backyard of the new drug store 'Baoan Tang' in Suzhou City that had not yet opened.
Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xian didn't know how they survived this long and unbearable night...
Anyway, Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xian were terrified to stay in the same house with two snake demons and five living ghosts, especially when a little girl who knew magic disappeared all night. People basically cannot sleep peacefully all night long.
After all, the two siblings, who are powerless, would probably have no choice but to close their eyes and wait for death if they had a conflict with those ghosts, snakes and demons, or if the other party suddenly became violent and hurt others!
Fortunately, throughout the night, they and the snake monsters and ghosts in the house were at peace with each other, and nothing happened that would make Xu Jiaorong or Xu Xian worry about them.
Then, amid the uneasiness, the two siblings were able to wait in a daze until the rooster crowed and the sun appeared!
"It's daybreak!"
Coming to the backyard and looking at the golden morning sunshine, Xu Jiaorong finally felt a little calmer... After all, the daytime and the light that can warm people's hearts and dispel the darkness can more or less make Xu Jiaorong feel a little bit in her heart. A little bit of comfort.
"!!"
Just after dawn, Xu Jiaorong secretly opened the closed door, and then went to visit her brother Xu Xian.
When she saw that although the other party was still a little weak, she could already walk normally. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully wandered into the hall in the backyard of the security hall, preparing to find something to fetch water for washing and lighting a fire for cooking. What.
But who would have thought that when she came out, she actually saw a little girl lying on a small mahogany couch beside the inner hall, sleeping soundly with a blanket wrapped around her body? Although she didn't know when the other party came back to sleep, after struggling for a while, Xu Jiaorong still stepped forward and gently pushed her awake.
"Huh? What are you doing..."
('-ω????)
"Aunt Li, I'm still sleepy, don't make trouble..."
(????????)??
Someone pushed her awake from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was Aunt Li, a bad guy, who had done the good deeds. Little Annie complained about the other person and at the same time reached out to pull the blanket on her body and directly covered her. Little brain, prepare to continue sleeping for a while.
Just for a while, not too long, just a few hours at most...
ＺZz...(??3??[▓▓]
Because, last night, she went to play for half the night, and she didn't come back until about one o'clock in the morning, which is what the world often calls ugly! At that time, she didn't want to disturb Li Shenshen, so she ran directly to the small wooden bed in the inner hall and barely made do for the night.
But never thought that Aunt Li, a bad guy...
Annie was kind enough not to wake her up last night, but now she came to wake her up early in the morning?
This is so abominable!
The time now seemed to be around six or seven o'clock. She had slept for less than six hours, and the sun didn't even hit her butt. How could she open her eyes?
"Annie, when did you come back last night?"
"Could it be that...you have been sleeping here the whole night?!"
Xu Jiaorong was afraid that the monsters would become angry and kill her last night, but she spent the whole time in fear and suspicion. She also kept hoping that this little guy who knew magic would come back soon so that she could Have a little support in your heart?
But who would have thought that this hateful kid would come back without even telling me? And you go directly to a place like this to sleep, aren't you afraid of being cold? Now, having her brother Xu Xian sick makes her feel a little tired. She doesn't want to take care of another sick little guy!
"Um……"
????(?????????????)??????? ozzZZ…
Little Annie, who had shrunk her whole face into the blanket, only revealing her long soft golden hair, didn't want to talk to this bad aunt who had woken her up!
So, she just responded in a daze.
Anyway, she would not explain to the other party: last night she ran to save the unlucky Uncle Li, and set fire to a large forest, burning to death a large tree that had grown for thousands of years, and another tree. Just a monster called the Black Mountain Old Demon, plus countless demons and monsters?
Of course, there is also a ghost girl named Nie Xiaoqian!
However, she has already asked Uncle Li to help take the ghost girl with her. When he goes back, he will naturally help take her back. However, these things were too long-winded and troublesome, and they would definitely go on endlessly. She didn't want to talk about them when she was sleepy!
"..."
"Okay, you just need to sleep for a while. I'm going out to buy some food now, and then I'm going to find the postmaster Hao Jianghua again and ask him to help me with something. You have to stay at home... Also, keep an eye on those things. Monsters, don’t let them harm your Uncle Xu!”
There is no way to deal with those monsters, whether it is Xu Jiaorong herself or her brother Xu Xian! After all, the two siblings are just ordinary people. They don't want to be like this little girl, who can use the magic of flying in the clouds!
Therefore, now besides asking the other party to help take care of her, she has no other good solution.
"knew……"
ＺZz...(??3??[▓▓]
Although he said yes, but...Xu Xian and so on, little Annie is not familiar with him, so she won't care about the other person's life and death!
That guy is not her Uncle Xu!
That person named Xu Xian is such a big man, but he still wants her, a child who hasn't slept enough, to take care of him? This thing is absolutely impossible, don’t even think about it!
Besides, she had already seen that the two snake demon sisters were not very bad villains. They would definitely not harm the one named Xu Xian, and there was no need for her to take care of them! Hum!
(????????)
Anyway, she is very sleepy now, so she will have a good sleep here and doesn’t want to go anywhere!
"I'm going out for a trip now, you must remember!"
After carefully warning the little girl again, Xu Jiaorong turned around and left in a hurry.
She couldn't stay in this place any longer, because in this house full of monsters, she always felt a little uncomfortable, as if she had too much yin energy? !
Although the snake demon had reached an agreement with her and her brother Xu Xian last night, and the other party also promised to leave today, but... looking at the woman in white who had been hesitating in the small pond pavilion at the back, Who knows whether the other party will actually leave on his own later?
Therefore, now Xu Jiaorong must use the excuse of going out to buy food to make some necessary preparations as soon as possible! She had already thought about and decided on those necessary measures after tossing and turning last night.
"..."
/o(__)ozzZZ…
Now Annie was almost asleep and she couldn't hear anything! Even if you hear it, you can pretend you can't hear it! !
And take care of the hot Xu Xian?
Hum hum…
Dream on! !
That’s not right either…
Because even if she was dreaming, she would definitely not take care of that weird man! !
…
"Xiaoqing..."
"I think...I think if we wait a little longer, he should come out..."
"..."
"Oops! Sister, don't wait any longer, let's go!"
"Hmph! That Xu Xian is no longer the same guy as before. What are you waiting for him to do? I bet you that he will never come out to say goodbye to you!!"
"But……"
"Stop it! Let's go, let's go back to the cave to practice, and never care about that guy again!"
"Xiaoqing..."
I don't know how long it took, but when Annie was sleeping in a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of two young ladies arguing, and then she was woken up again.
"..."
(??????｀??)
"Hey! Sister White Snake, what are you doing? Are you going on a long trip?"
('-ω????)
Little Annie poked her head out of the blanket, complaining a little. After understanding the other party's conversation and seeing the large and small bags held by the ghosts, she rubbed her eyes and asked curiously. One sentence.
Because, if she remembered correctly, it seemed that this was their home, but why did they leave?
"..."
"Ah! It's you... Yes, I want to go back to the mountains to continue practicing... Because he doesn't remember me and he is afraid of me..."
Bai Suzhen, who had something on her mind and her mind in chaos, and didn't pay attention to her surroundings at all, was shocked to find out: On the little mandarin duck couch at the edge of the hall, it was actually the little girl curled up in a blanket and sleeping?
It seems that her heart is really messed up...
Such a little girl with mana fluctuations on her body was right next to her, but she never noticed it.
"Oh~!!"
??(????0`??)??
After discovering that she had been woken up twice, little Annie, who was no longer sleepy, sat up from the couch, hugged the quilt, and stretched out comfortably.
"you say……"
"Monsters, are they all afraid of people?"
In the past, she had always thought that her identity as White Snake was no longer a problem, but now...
Therefore, Bai Suzhen, who seemed to be asking herself or the little girl, turned back towards Xu Xian's room and took a long look across the corridors. She found no sign of the other party coming out, not even the door or window of the room. After the light was so bright, she sighed quietly again.
"Monster? Why are you afraid?"
??乛??乛??
Anne was never afraid of any monsters, because they couldn't defeat her!
Those guys, no matter they look good or ugly, are actually just like that. Guys who can't even withstand their own flames have no qualifications to scare her at all! Now, after Queen Anne herself has become more and more powerful due to her gradual understanding of the rules of each infinite stone and her continuous hard work in studying, I am afraid that only the annoying Amorin mother at home can make her Are you scared?
Maybe, this is the reason why she would rather stay outside and never go back, because she doesn't want to be bullied by that bad mother, right?
"Yeah...why are you afraid?"
"Your name is Annie, right? No matter what, I have to thank you for saving my officer. Originally, I was still worried about how I could retrieve his soul from the underworld..."
Bai Suzhen, the white snake, lowered her head slightly and didn't know what she was thinking. After muttering to herself, she solemnly saluted and blessed the little girl sitting on the couch with a blanket rolled up. Yifu was a way of thanking the other party for his help and the amazing peach he provided.
Last night, her sister Xiaoqing showed her the big peach with just a small bite. It was indeed a rare treasure, an excellent spiritual object, better than the one she got from the Antarctic Immortal. Ganoderma lucidum is even better!
However, although Xiaoqing said that thing would be half with her in order to help her practice... However, she was preoccupied with things and had no desire for that thing at all.
Because, right now, she doesn’t want to practice, nor does she want to become a Taoist or a Immortal…
Her heart is already in chaos!
At this time, I'm afraid even she doesn't know what she wants now!
"Don't mind such a small thing!"
(???????`)
"Let me tell you, just now those two weird worms, one black and one white, with long tongues sticking out, came to me in my dream, saying that I had disturbed the order of the underworld, and then said some ugly words? Then I got angry. Just scare them away with a fire, and they will definitely not dare to come next time!!"
(*??????`??*)??
Anne didn't expect that there would be a special government department in charge of souls in this world? But no matter what, she snatched back Xu Xian's soul and so on. Is it possible that they can snatch it back again?
Anyway, Queen Anne is not afraid of them!
No one who breaks into his dream will end well!
And if she hadn't been a little bit merciful this time, would those people in the past called the ancient god C'Thun or Yogg-Saron be a lesson to them?
"One black and one white? Long tongue? So it's them..."
Obviously, Bai Suzhen knew who it would be.
What the little girl said was obviously the ghost of the underworld, the black and white impermanence who specializes in seducing souls! But what Bai Suzhen didn't expect was that the little girl in front of her was so tough that she even dared to fight off the underworld's ghosts... But that's fine, with this powerful little girl here, Xu Xian would definitely not do it again. Are you being embarrassed by the ghosts of the underworld?
As long as Xu Xian is still alive, the black and white impermanence that seduces the soul will definitely not come again.
"..."
However, although the person has been rescued now, what is the use?
Her official Xu Xian is now afraid of her and avoids her like a snake... Although she is a snake demon, her words and actions still deeply hurt her...
Sure enough, what Xiaoqing said was right.
The Xu Xian of today is no longer the Xu Xuan of the past...
In the long five hundred years and countless reincarnations, some things have long been forgotten.
Life is impermanent, with more suffering and less happiness...
Since there is no way to save it, let's leave it like this for now.
Maybe Xiaoqing is right. Five hundred years of practice have made her less demonic and more humane. As a snake demon, she has become less and less like a monster. This may not be a good thing?
How great would it be if, like Xiao Qing, I could practice carefree and not care about some things?
but……
Some things are not subject to her will...
This is just like a poem by Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty that she once read: The cutting is endless, the reasoning is still messy, it is the sorrow of separation, do you have a different feeling in your heart?
"..."
"Sister, did Xu Xian bully you?"
"Ha! I knew that guy was a bad guy, so I didn't like her either. If it weren't for Aunt Li, I wouldn't have saved him!"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)ノ
Anne saw the miserable look on the face of the big sister in white, and the tears in her eyes. Then, she understood that it must be the hot bad guy Xu Xianguai Xiaomao who bullied this big sister!
"..."
"No, he didn't bully me, he just forgot something..."
"I don't blame him..."
Bai Suzhen smiled bitterly and shook her head, trying to pretend it didn't matter, but... the inadvertent look on her face betrayed her deeply.
"I don't know if there is any way to help him regain the memory of his previous life?"
She felt that if she could get her memory back, maybe she wouldn't have to bear the pain of separation, right?
It’s a pity that Meng Po Soup…….
That is a bowl of water without an antidote. Although it is not a poison, it is better than all the poisons in the world!
"Oh! Are you talking about that?"
(￣▽￣)~*
"There is nothing we can do about it. There is something missing from his soul. Unless he can get it back, he will definitely not be able to remember his past memories!"
(.＾▽＾)
What happened to the hot bad guy Xu Xian must have been hidden from little Annie who had personally rescued him!
Because Queen Anne is a very powerful woman. She is erudite, talented, and well-informed. As long as she is willing to check carefully, there will definitely be nothing that can be hidden from her!
"!!"
"Something is missing? Could it be that the soul is stranded in the underworld and has not been recovered? The three souls and seven souls are incomplete?!"
When the little girl said that her official Xu Xian was missing something, Bai Suzhen became anxious!
Although she is preparing to leave now, she can and will leave only if she is sure that the other party is safe and sound!
"neither!"
╮(～▽～)╭
"It seems like it was like that many years ago...maybe hundreds of years ago? It seems to be about courage or something?"
(^_^)?
"Anyway, without courage, he will be a coward in the future, especially after the kind of reincarnation you mentioned, he will become more and more useless, and he will definitely not be able to retrieve the memories of his previous life. !”
(￣ω￣;)
Anyway, from Little Annie’s point of view, this is probably what happened!
"courage?"
"Is there such a thing in Three Souls and Seven Souls? Is there such a thing?!"
This is the first time Bai Suzhen has heard this statement! Therefore, while she was worried, she also had a little doubt and uncertainty.
"Of course!"
(?????????)??????
"Courage is that mysterious power that gives you hope!"
"You may not feel it at ordinary times, but in an emergency, it will be awakened! Inspired! Anyway, courage can make life undergo amazing transformations, becoming stronger and more powerful! At the same time, the transformation of life also Personal courage can be achieved!”
Courage is a very important thing in the human soul. It can make people confident and make them powerful and fearless! Just like these monsters in front of them, if they can get the material courage of others voluntarily giving, it will definitely be very effective!
For example, the Galen in the Koprulu Sector who was deceived by her was completely useless except for his endless courage. To put it bluntly, he was a fool!
but…….
Now that guy Galen just relied on his courage to cultivate the Holy Light to a point that even Anne was a little surprised... It is said that he can use a big move to make a golden sword fall from the sky and destroy the shield of a ship. A fully activated protoss mothership? Moreover, at the same time, his own life body underwent an astonishing transformation without even realizing it?
It can be seen from this that how important courage is to a person?
"courage……"
"Is that related to retrieving memories?"
Bai Suzhen still doesn't quite understand what this little girl is talking about. She can't understand that things like courage and courage can be taken away?
"no……"
"What if we can at least make that weird bastard Xu Xian less annoying? Then maybe he won't be afraid of you anymore, let alone be scared to death by you?"
Just like that Aunt Li, the other party also knew the identity of this beautiful elder sister as a snake demon, but she was not scared to death. At most, she was just a little scared?
Anyway, it is a very important thing. Even without it, people can still live well.
"Can that thing be found?"
After thinking tangledly for a while, Bai Suzhen asked tentatively.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with your world!"
∠(??』∠)＿
After hugging the blanket and finally finding her little bear under the bed of the couch, Annie continued to lie on it and talk indifferently.
Yes, strictly speaking, it has not been more than a month since Annie came to this world. How would you know when Xu Xian's courage disappeared? If you look for it, you will definitely not be able to find it. It will be impossible to find.
Besides, she wouldn't bother looking for him!
"..."
"He...lost that important thing?"
Bai Suzhen still doesn't understand that courage can still be taken away? These demon cultivators, or other cultivators, have never said this before...
Therefore, after being stunned for a long time in this inner hall, she really couldn't figure it out and could only shake her head helplessly.
"Oh I see……"
"But, the kind of thing you mentioned should have nothing to do with it... I remember him now, but he is... that's all, let's just let it happen!"
Bai Suzhen couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. She didn't know what kind of price a certain guy paid to be with her five hundred years ago.
However, in this life, she found him and married him...
She has no regrets!
Now, since he asked her to leave, she would just leave... If she and him were destined to be destined, she believed that he would definitely come to find her!
If you don't come...
It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, she will still go find him in the next life! !
In short, the days are long and she has plenty of time.
Maybe, it's fate here?
She also kind of figured it out. There were some things that she couldn't get rid of...
Maybe the entanglements she had with him in her previous life were just for the sake of meeting him in this life?
Unfortunately, she woke up from her sweet dream too quickly, but she had no regrets.
Because her love for him has reached the depths...
Today, when she leaves, although thousands of mountains separate her from her, no matter in this life or in the next life, this fate will always be renewed, and there will always be a result.
But before that, she would rather stay in the human world than ascend to heaven...
"Xiaoqing, let's go..."
"Okay sister!"
"Five ghosts! Don't be stunned, follow up!!"
"Ah? Yes! Miss Xiao Qing..."
"..."
"Um?"
∑(??△｀)? !
"Hey! Wait, Aunt Li just went out to buy food. Do you really not want to have breakfast before leaving?!"
ヾ(=^▽^=)ノ
Little Annie stretched out her hand to greet the two eldest sisters. However, the other party did not look back this time. They just walked out of the inner hall and gradually disappeared, leaving only her lonely figure.
"All right……"
"Tibbers, look, now there are no two people talking."
(ー`??ー)
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"..."
"Tibbers, how long has Aunt Li been out shopping? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
Annie, who no longer wanted to sleep, felt a little hungry. She was in urgent need of delicious food to fill her belly! Only in that way can she erase the resentment in her heart after being woken up two or three times!
(Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon...)
(???????????)
——————
In the post station in the south of Suzhou City, Xu Jiaorong was talking quietly with the post manager here. Then, I don’t know what Xu Jiaorong said, which made the post manager Hao Jianghua scream out in surprise.
"!!"
"Mrs. Li, are you crazy?"
"Spend money to atone... Do you know how much money that is?! You really should listen to me. Now that Xu Xian has improved, it only takes about three years, and Suzhou is not far from Qiantang. It’s too far, and Suzhou is also a good place with beautiful scenery. Three years will pass if I just endure it. If I have that spare money, I might as well save it and buy a property for Xu Xian in the future!!"
Today, this lady from the Li family came to see him early in the morning. Hao Jianghua thought that Xu Xian was dead! But how could he have imagined that the other party was still alive and well and getting better inexplicably?
Now that Xu Xian is cured, Hao Jianghua's guilt has been relieved a lot! However, now that the other party really wanted to spend money to atone Xu Xian's sins from the government, this really shocked him!
The Song Dynasty adhered to the Tang system. Although it could spend money to redeem minor crimes that were not heinous, such as this kind of exile, so that prisoners could be exempted from punishment? However, in order to demonstrate the justice and solemnity of the law, those who want to atone their sins must pay a large sum of money according to the level of the crime they committed!
"Madam Li, would you like to think about it again?"
Postmaster Hao Jianghua felt that with the money from the words of atonement, three drug stores could be opened! But now, this prodigal woman wants to spend money on that Xu Xian, just because she wants to atone for the other person's crimes that have more than two years left?
In his opinion, this is a waste of money, and it is really inappropriate! !
"Master Hao, you said that you would definitely help me if I need anything!"
Xu Jiaorong did not flinch, because she had already decided: in order to get rid of those monsters who had harmed her brother Xu Xian several times, she must take her brother back to Qiantang this time!
"this……"
"Well, the matter of atonement is quite simple! I will go and get the formalities for you today, it's not too difficult, but... I can't help you with the money matter, that's a lot of money!! "
Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, and that he had made his promise before, Hao Jianghua, who did not want to break his promise and get rich, could only shake his head helplessly in the end and accepted the job, which was not too difficult for him. After all, he is the Yi Cheng here in Suzhou, and he is in charge of the prisoners. If he is left to handle the matter of spending money to atone, he can almost finish it in one day.
"It's natural!"
"It would be best if you were willing to help. Why would you spend money?"
Seeing that the most important thing of the day was finally done, the leader, Xu Jiaorong, who was carrying the food box, showed a rare bright smile.
"well……"
"Well, I'm going to ask you now. I hope it can be done today, and then you can go back to Qiantang tomorrow to celebrate the New Year!"
Although he felt that this decision was a bit wasteful, since others were not spending their own money, Hao Jianghua was certainly not qualified to say too much.
"Then it's all your fault."
Actually, Xu Jiaorong doesn't have much money with her right now, but...a certain little guy does! The other party is good at magic, and there must be a place to hide money on his body. Otherwise, when he was in Qiantang, the guy wouldn't have so much money to eat and drink.
Before, she was a little confused, wondering where the kid hid the gold! But now, after seeing the other party's ability to soar in the clouds and travel thousands of miles in an instant, she is no longer surprised by some things.
