Li Dou's breathing suddenly became heavier.
However, the posture remained unchanged.
Jiang Qingwan didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "The ghost-faced stone statue should be an artifact of the Sui Dynasty. If you recognize it, you should..."
"I have no idea."
Li Dou suddenly looked up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his expression extremely tense, "I...I really can't remember."
He quickly lowered his head after he finished speaking.
He hesitated for a long time before speaking again.
"In Qingfeng Village, I saw a lot of blood, and my head started to hurt. Then, I saw a lot of blurry images and heard a lot of loud noises. There was blood everywhere, and I... I was very scared."
His body was trembling slightly, unable to stop himself from doing so.
“I’ve seen that stone statue before, but I don’t remember what it represents. I really, really can’t see it clearly.”
Jiang Qingwan knew he wasn't lying.
When Jiang Qingwan rescued him and brought him back to the manor, she asked Zhong Yuan to examine him.
He had suffered a severe blow to the head and was also greatly traumatized, which caused him to lose his senses.
She asked Zhong Yuan if there was any possibility of recovery.
Zhong Yuan's answer to her was that unless the scene was recreated.
But no one knows what the scene was that triggered Li Dou, or how it could be recreated.
However, the time when Li Dou was injured did not match the time of the great battle between the Sui and Zhou dynasties.
For a moment, Jiang Qingwan couldn't figure out what other major battle was related to the Ghost-Faced Stone Statue.
She composed herself and gently patted Li Dou's shoulder.
"If you can't remember, then don't think about it anymore. If God wants you to know about your past, He will give you the opportunity to know. Until then, it's no use thinking about it any more."
Li Dou's eyes reddened.
He pursed his lips and struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.
"I'm afraid of implicating Miss and Lian'er."
Jiang Qingwan smiled gently.
"There's no need to worry about this. You and Lian'er are my people. As long as you don't leave, no one can force you to leave. Remember that?"
Li Dou's heart, which had been in a panic for a long time, finally began to settle down.
He nodded emphatically.
Jiang Qingwan waved her little hand.
"Take Lian'er to rest. If you remember anything else, just tell me. Don't get stuck on it."
"good."
Li Dou stood up, holding Lian'er, and bowed to Jiang Qingwan.
As soon as he left, Little Red darted over and slapped a small paper figure to the ground with its paw, but quickly let go. When the paper figure shakily stood up and tried to run away, Little Red pounced again and slapped it to death with its paw.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, it teases you without actually killing you.
In the courtyard of Fengyazhu, Muzhen was almost driven to the point of vomiting blood by the torment, and angrily cast a spell again.
As soon as Little Red loosened its grip, the little paper figure suddenly jumped up again.
It was much faster than before. Little Red missed with one claw, bared its teeth, let out a low growl, and darted away.
It caught up again in no time and slapped me several times with its claws.
The little paper figure's head was cracked from being slapped. It struggled listlessly on the ground a few times, then tilted its head to the side and became completely still.
At that moment, Mu Zhen was caught off guard and staggered, his breath churning.
His eyes were covered by black pupils, and the sight vanished in an instant.
She took a deep breath and gave a cold laugh.
"This woman is indeed quite capable. Let me test her skills again."
She had no idea that it would be a fox that would make the move.
His sword pointed to the void, and two small paper figures emerged from his waist belt, before he flashed away.
Little Red was very unhappy, scratching at the torn paper figure with her paws.
Jiang Qingwan nestled back into the recliner.
"Who told you not to hold back? Now you're done for."
Little Red bared her teeth, ready to eat the little paper figure.
Jiang Qingwan quickly reminded her.
"Don't eat anything from a sorcerer, or you'll get diarrhea."
Xiao Hong choked and sneezed. With her head drooping, she was about to crawl back to Jiang Qingwan's side when suddenly her ears twitched, and she leaped towards the roof ridge again.
Jiang Qingwan glanced in that direction and couldn't help but want to laugh.
When I turned around, a shadow fell before my eyes.
Mo Yunhan leaned over her, one hand resting on the edge of the rattan chair. His face, backlit by the moonlight, was dark and unpredictable, his cold lips curved into a smile, and his deep voice was unusually gentle.
What are you playing with it for?
Jiang Qingwan was overjoyed.
She blinked her eyes playfully and mischievously.
"They're playing a game of catching mice."
Mo Yunhan was captivated by her smile.
His fingers tightened involuntarily on the edge of the rattan chair.
Where is the mouse?
On the way back to Beijing from Qingfeng Village, Jiang Qingwan and he had a very good chat.
Their relationship grew much closer, and she discovered that there were some things she could only talk about with him.
There was no concealment at the time.
“A rat has entered the Prince’s mansion. I haven’t found it yet, but the bait is ready. It should appear soon.”
Mo Yunhan frowned slightly.
"They came for you?"
Jiang Qingwan slightly raised the corner of her beautiful eye.
"You don't really think I'll be at someone's mercy if I lose my cultivation, do you?"
Mo Yunhan didn't speak, but stared intently at her.
She was still not used to his gaze, so she gently pushed him and sat up.
"Would you like some tea? It tastes pretty good."
Mo Yunhan withdrew his gaze and sat down on the small stool that Li Dou had just sat on.
With such a large frame, he inexplicably appeared somewhat aggrieved.
Jiang Qingwan felt a pang of pity.
He patted the seat next to him and said, "You can sit here."
A hint of a smile flashed in Mo Yunhan's eyes, but he deliberately said, "Won't I be bewitched if I sit over there and drink tea?"
