The last time I came, the grave was bare, but this time it was filled with fresh food and drinks, as well as a bunch of freshly picked red spider lilies.
In the end times, this kind of flower grows in large areas, as if there are roads leading to hell everywhere, so even if Su Bei doesn’t know lotus and apricot flowers, he can’t help but know this kind of flower.
"Are you her daughter?" A male voice came from behind her. It sounded familiar and not old. It was the man who pointed at her with a branch that day.
"Who are you?" Su Bei did not turn around. She felt that this person did not want to hurt her, perhaps it was related to Bei Shijing lying in the cemetery.
Chu Younan felt the same way, so he hid in the dark and secretly spied on Yan Ming's thoughts.
The mouth can lie, but the mind cannot.
He was very far away, so Yan Ming didn't notice it at all.
Yan Ming said calmly: "I am Yan Ming."
Su Bei had no expression on her face. She didn't know whether it was Yan Ming or Tang Ming. "Well, then, you have such high martial arts skills, what are you doing here?"
Yan Ming's mouth twitched slightly, "Let me tell you a story..."
As he spoke, he walked to the tombstone and sat down, pouring two glasses of wine, one of which he poured in front of the tombstone and the other he drank himself.
His face still looked like an old man, but his every move seemed to flow like water and dance. Su Bei couldn't help but think: Could this guy be a dancer? Chu Younan: ...It's OK that you haven't heard of Yan Ming, but you actually think he is a dancer...If he knew you thought so, he would probably want to beat you up! Forget it, Yan Ming can't know your thoughts anyway. What's more, he can't be Yan Ming, he must be a fake.
Yan Ming is a legend.
"When I was 20 years old, my family had a younger sister. They told me that according to the family rules, if there is a girl, she will inherit the family business in the future..." Yan Ming said slowly, "For the first 20 years of my life, I was instilled with the idea that I would inherit the family business in the future. When I suddenly heard this news, it was difficult for me to accept it..."
Su Bei sighed, "Your family is really weird. Isn't this place full of people who value boys over girls?"
Yan Ming drank another glass, "I thought so too, so it's been hard for me to accept it. Ever since she was born, I have always wished she would die!"
"This is a bit too much. After all, she is your sister..." Su Bei murmured.
Yan Ming chuckled and drank another cup, "The eldest prince of Wu State killed the second prince, and the second prince was turned into a human pig. They are also brothers..."
"That's true...it seems that you also have a wealthy family..." Su Bei seemed to be thinking about something.
Chu Younan held his forehead with his hand. From what he heard, this man must be Bei Yanming. Legend has it that he ruled the entire north more than ten years ago, and the extremely cold land in the north was all his territory.
But Su Bei didn't know and was still scolding Bei Yanming, "She's dead, and the family business is all yours. What are you still doing here? Are you going to dig out her bones?"
She had heard of the Xuejin clan, and also heard that Bei Shijing was the princess of the Xuejin clan. However, in her imagination, a clan should not be very big, so it would not be an exaggeration to compare it to a large and wealthy family.
Bei Yanming chuckled and looked at her, "If I say that I realized how important she was only after she died, wouldn't it sound fake?"
"Yeah, it's very bloody!" Su Bei nodded.
Bei Yanming didn't seem to care at all. "You are so calm. You must have guessed the relationship between Bei Shijing and I. She is my sister and I am her brother. My name is..."
"Bei Yanming!" Su Bei answered quickly. He could guess it with his toes.
Bei Yanming seemed a little embarrassed, "Then do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
"What? Who do you want me to curse for you? That depends on whether I'm in a good mood or not..." If I'm in a good mood, I don't want to curse anyone. If I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to help you...
Chu Younan held his forehead with his hand and reached for the sword at his waist...
"That's not necessary!" Bei Yanming patted the tombstone and said, "I just want to tell you that now that she is dead, her mother's curse has become invalid..."
"What do you mean?" Su Bei narrowed his eyes.
"Think about it yourself!" Bei Yanming said, turned around, and used his lightness skills to disappear in front of Su Bei.
Think about it yourself...
My grandmother's curse was broken when my mother died. My mother's curse...
Before she could finish her thought, someone suddenly covered her mouth.
Just as Su Bei was about to take action, he heard Chu Younan urgently say, "Don't let your imagination run wild! There must be another solution!"
"You!" She turned around and saw Chu Younan looking at her with concern.
At this moment, Su Bei understood that Chu Younan could read minds not just through eyes...
Think of something else, think of something else, think of Bei Yanming, yes, ask him about Bei Yanming! Su Bei had just changed his mind when he received Chu Younan's contemptuous gaze...
Oh yeah! He read it...
Su Bei looked embarrassed, and simply spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, we don't need to talk anymore, right? Anyway, you know everything I'm thinking. I'm such a selfish and fearful person, I don't want to use death to solve the national crisis, I'm not that wise, what do you think about this matter?"
Chu Younan stared at her calmly.
Su Bei stared at him. What are you looking at? I said you were so considerate, but you ended up cheating! I should curse you...
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she said, "Chu Younan, I curse you. You can't read my mind before you are a hundred years old!"
Chu Younan's eyes moved, and then he tried hard to listen to Su Bei's inner voice, but he only heard the sound of summer cicadas and...
"Alas! The sun is so strong and we still have to clean the mausoleum. We have to do it. Those two have been coming here a lot recently. If they are seen, they will definitely be punished..."
"When will Prince Su and his wife leave? I really want to take a break and have a drink..."
"That guy was on duty tonight, and I happened to go to his house to have a secret meeting with his wife..."
"I don't know if the prince can give me two days off when I get married in a few days. I should talk to the princess about this. The girls in her shop can rest after giving birth..."
He heard the voices of the soldiers on duty, the voices of the people cleaning the mausoleum, and even heard Ling Xiao's complaints, but he could not hear Su Bei's voice.
Su Bei saw the astonishment in his eyes gradually gather, and the corners of his lips also curled up a little bit, and tentatively said: Chu Hanhan? Nan Erhuo? I'll find a place to invite a few young men to have a drink later?
Chu Younan's brows gradually furrowed under the mask.
Su Bei coughed dryly, "Prince, do you think it's possible?"
Chu Younan didn't answer immediately. He couldn't let Su Bei feel that he couldn't read his mind. Su Bei was a very opinionated person, and he wouldn't usually ask him about anything. So, in this case, should he answer yes or no?
