Qin Shu stood in the living room and walked around in circles, scanning the surroundings with tearful eyes, trying to find Xie Lanzhi.
She suddenly looked towards the stairs and stumbled upstairs.
"Xie Lanzhi, come out! If you don't come out, I'm going to be angry!"
Qin Shu lost her balance and fell on the stairs. She quickly got up and staggered up the stairs.
When Qin Hairui saw his sister's miserable appearance, he rushed forward without thinking, but was stopped by an arm.
Amuti said to him: "I have something to say to my sister-in-law alone."
Qin Hairui nodded: "Okay."
Amuti went upstairs to find Qin Shu, and Qin Hairui walked to Xie's father and mother who were crying silently.
He pointed at the bloody shirt in Mrs. Xie's arms and asked, "Is this Xie Lanzhi's?"
Mrs. Xie nodded, unable to stop crying: "...Yes!"
It was the only thing left of her son.
They couldn't even bring back Xie Lanzhi's body, and could only bring back a few blood-stained clothes for burial.
"Oh my God! You are trying to kill my mother! Zhizhi——"
Mrs. Xie's emotions suddenly broke down. She buried her face in her blood-stained clothes and sobbed.
Father Xie took her into his arms and patted Mrs. Xie's back silently.
Qin Hairui wanted to ask something, but seeing that the couple were heartbroken, he slowly closed his mouth.
upstairs.
Qin Shu pushed open the doors of each room looking for someone, and finally found the familiar background that she saw in the video yesterday.
The house was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the floor, desk, and bed were all stained with glaring blood.
Qin Shu stared at the blood with trembling eyes, her legs trembling slightly, and she held on to the door frame with both hands to avoid falling to the ground in embarrassment.
Amuti's voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lan's body is not here."
The word corpse,
Qin Shu's body trembled continuously.
She stared at Amuti fiercely: "Where is he?"
Amuti shook his head: "You can't see Brother Lan, go back to Yushan Village after signing the divorce papers, don't let Brother Lan's efforts go to waste."
Qin Shu threw herself on Amuti and grabbed his collar roughly: "Don't you understand? What I'm asking is, where are Xie Lanzhi and the others!"
Amuti's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said word by word: "Brother Lan is dead. He died for you. You are alive now because Brother Lan exchanged his life for you."
"Who agreed! Who agreed to exchange his life for another's?"
Qin Shu asked hysterically, with madness and self-destruction in her eyes.
Amuti felt the murderous intent coming towards him, and his voice softened a lot: "Sister-in-law, you should go back to Yushan Village and leave here as soon as possible!"
Qin Shu suddenly burst out with strength, grabbed Amuti's collar, lifted him up and pressed him against the door.
“Bang!”
Amuti's body hit the door with a bang.
Qin Shu's eyes were red, and her voice was as cold as frost: "I'll say it one last time! I want to see Xie Lanzhi, alive or dead!"
Amuti felt a sharp pain in his back. He closed his lips tightly and looked at Qin Shu who was in madness in silence.
Qin Shu sneered: "You won't tell me, right? At worst, I'll die with Brother Lan!"
Amuti was horrified and said, trying to hold back the pain: "You can't do this!"
Qin Shu's face was gloomy, and she roared in a low voice: "If he dares to exchange his life for mine, I will be buried with him!"
Qin Shu really had such thoughts in her heart.
Why should she accept Xie Lanzhi's offer of his own life in exchange for hers?
Amuti looked into Qin Shu's eyes and saw the coldness and determination, and knew that she was not joking.
Qin Shu noticed that Amuti was loosening up, and her voice became calmer and calmer, and the words she said were horrifying.
"Tell me where Xie Lanzhi is, or I will give his life back to him now."
She held a gold needle between her fingertips and pressed it against her temple.
Amuti, who was already hesitant, had his eyes trembling slightly, and blurted out: "Yunxiao Mountain, Tianyuan Taoist Temple."
The next moment, Qin Shu let go of Amuti's collar and rushed downstairs like a gust of wind.
Amuti chased after him and said, "You won't be able to see Brother Lan even if you go there!"
Qin Shu turned a deaf ear to him, her mind full of Yunxiao Mountain and Tianyuan Taoist Temple.
The conversation between Master Lingxi and his disciple rang in Qin Shu's ears.
"There is a Taoist temple called Tianyuan on Yunxiao Mountain. To get there, you need to climb 88,000 steps..."
"I heard that there is a legend in the Taoist temple of Yunxiao Mountain that if you kowtow with every step, and worship up 88,000 steps, whatever you wish for will come true."
"It's just a legend. Until now, no one has ever done such a stupid thing."
"Eighty-eight thousand steps, one kowtow at each step, this is going to kill you!"
"Only a fool in this world would do this..."
At this moment, there was still something Qin Shu didn't understand. Lingxi was telling her implicitly that day that Xie Lanzhi was the big fool who did stupid things, kowtowed with every step, and climbed 88,000 steps on his knees!
As Qin Shu rushed downstairs, she was stopped by Xie's father and mother.
Mrs. Xie was still holding a few bloodstained clothes in her arms, and she looked at Qin Shu with sorrow in her eyes: "Ah Shu, we have learned from Lan Zhi everything you have experienced in your past and present lives.
"Lan Zhi is exchanging his life for yours, not only because of his feelings for you, but also to repay you with his own life for your kindness in protecting the Xie and Guo families in this life."
"It is a blessing for Lanzhi to marry you, and it is even more a blessing for the Guo and Xie families to meet you. We will always remember your great kindness."
"Ah Shu, you are a good child. Everything Zhizhi did was the path he chose. You should not feel any burden..."
Qin Shu looked at her mother-in-law, who was obviously extremely sad, but was still trying to hold back her sadness and comfort herself.
Qin Shu was not moved at all. Her black eyes were as deep as a cold pond. She interrupted Mrs. Xie and said, "Mom, this is between me and Lan Zhi."
Mrs. Xie's expression was dull, she stopped talking and stared at Qin Shu absentmindedly.
Qin Shu pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Xie Lanzhi is my person in life and my ghost in death. No one can take him away from me. As for any gratitude or feelings, I don't care. I only know that he is mine! He promised me that he would live and die with me!"
After saying this, Qin Shu brushed past her parents-in-law and walked towards Qin Hairui who was not far away.
"Brother, take me to Yunxiao Mountain and ask for someone from Tianyuan Taoist Temple!"
"Okay!" Qin Hairui nodded in agreement.
The brother and sister left in the same haste as when they came.
Amuti threw the documents in his hand on the table and said to Xie's father and mother: "I'll go with you to have a look. Just in case, I say just in case, if there is really a chance..."
Although he didn't dare say the following words, because he was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
When Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.
Father Xie urged: "Go quickly!"
Amuti stood still and said, "Please return to Beijing immediately and follow Taoist Master Yuxuan's instructions to arrange a funeral for Brother Lan."
Taoist Master Yuxuan said that in order to conceal the rules of this world, Xie Lanzhi's funeral must be arranged as soon as possible.
Father Xie said in a trembling voice, "We will set off immediately. You keep an eye on Lan Zhi."
The saddest thing in life is seeing the young die before the old.
