Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The boy's extreme beauty flashed through my mind...
When the hour of Xu arrived, Chen Qing had not eaten much in a restaurant, so when it was time for dinner, she naturally had to eat with her mother.
In the previous life, Chen Qing was seventeen years old when his mother passed away, and he was only nineteen years old when he died.
It had been two whole years since she last saw them. Thinking that she was about to see her mother, she felt a rare sense of homesickness in her heart.
The servants had already spread the dishes, and the room was filled with warm light. A table full of sumptuous dishes was prepared to welcome Chen Qing home. At this moment, Ye Niang was sitting at the table chatting about family matters.
When he got excited, Aye laughed heartily, his voice was full of energy and his face was radiant.
A'niang covered her lips and laughed too. Seeing this, Aye picked up a chopstick and picked up a piece of food for A'niang.
Their faces were so lively, rosy and full of color, no longer the old-looking complexion they had when they died suddenly at home.
Chen Qing stopped and stared at the two of them blankly, tears welling up in her eyes without her knowing when.
They were her parents, the ones who doted on her and raised her with love every moment. How could they be a paper figure whose death was summarized in just a few sentences in a book?
The smile in Shen's mother's eyes had not yet disappeared. She caught a glimpse of Shen Qing coming out of the corner of her eye. She pushed Shen's father and said, "Look who's here. Take a closer look. But is it the baby you've been talking about for several months?"
Father Shen stroked his beard and looked here with wide eyes. Seeing Shen Qing standing outside the house motionless, he stood up quickly, and Mother Shen also stood up.
"Hahaha, my You'an is back! Why are you just standing there? Come in and sit down!" Father Shen's eyes were full of smiles as he strode towards her.
Chen Qing's nose felt sore and tears instantly burst out.
"Aye!" She threw herself into her father's arms aggrievedly, crying uncontrollably.
Father Shen's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly rubbed his daughter's head and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, my dear daughter. But you were wronged in Xuanji Pavilion? Who bullied you? Tell Aye, and Aye will teach him a lesson for you!"
Mother Shen was also anxious. She had never seen her daughter cry so miserably in more than ten years. Now she threw herself into her father's arms so aggrieved. Could it be that she had really suffered some great injustice?
She quickly cupped her daughter's face and gently wiped away her tears. "You'an, your father is right. Tell mother, what have you been wronged about? Mother is here, and she will stand up for you!"
Seeing that Ye Niang was extremely anxious, Chen Qing quickly wiped away her tears and said, "No, it's just that I haven't seen Ye Niang for too long. I miss you."
Shen's father and mother still remained skeptical, and Shen Qing spent most of his time talking, and finally managed to dispel their doubts.
When the three of them sat back at the table, Shen's father and mother kept putting food into her bowl, and the table was full of dishes that Shen Qing liked to eat.
Chen Qing's eyes were red from crying, like a little rabbit. She asked, "Shouldn't Senior Brother be coming to the mansion today? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Father Shen said, "When I went to the palace to meet the Saint today, I also met your senior brother. He asked me to tell you that he was delayed by something in Xuanji Pavilion and might be late."
After being reminded by Shen's father, Shen Qing remembered that this was indeed the case.
In his previous life, Shen Qing returned home in early May, but his mother had not yet returned. The border war was dire, and Aye led his troops out for several months, with his mother by his side. It wasn't until mid-May that his father successfully repelled the barbarians and returned victorious.
Today is the day when Ye Niang returns home. Chen Qing went to a restaurant and missed her return. Thinking of this, she felt a faint regret in her heart.
Liu Jiuyue encountered something unexpected and it was not resolved until the evening, so he did not arrive at the Shen Mansion until the next day.
Mother Shen said, "You, you just came back and you're already talking about your brother. Why don't you talk about your mother more?"
Chen Qing stuffed a mouthful of chicken leg, narrowed her eyes and said: "My daughter not only misses Senior Brother at home, but also often misses Mother when she is in Xuanji Pavilion. If you don't believe me, wait for Senior Brother to come and ask him."
The few of them spent the meal in laughter and joy.
After dinner, Shen Qing spent a long time with his parents. When he returned to his courtyard, the moon was already high in the sky.
Chen Qing was accompanied by only one maid, Cui Ya. When she entered the yard, she found it was pitch black and no one was lighting a lamp.
It shouldn't be like this.
Normally, there should be servants holding lights waiting for his return at this time, but now not only are there no lights in the yard, but even the house is pitch black. The surroundings are terribly quiet, as if there is no one around.
No one.
Chen Qing suddenly turned around, and found that Cui Ya had disappeared without a trace, and he was the only one left in the room.
"Bang!" The door suddenly closed.
Chen Qing hurried to the window, but the windows were closed one by one.
"Cui Ya?" Chen Qing called softly.
No one responded to her, which was enough to prove that she was the only one here, and her heart sank unconsciously.
"Ding-ling-ling—" The bell on Chen Qing's head made a crisp sound, and a cool breeze came from somewhere and hit his body. The cold wind was mixed with biting frost, and it felt like a beating when it touched his skin. Chen Qing inevitably felt pain all over his body.
Through the thin layer of upper garment, Chen Qing's pampered skin soon turned slightly red.
If this strange wind hits me again, I'm afraid that blood marks will soon appear on my body.
Chen Qing simply took out the talisman paper from his bosom, prepared to use the same trick again, set up a magic circle to protect himself, and then make another plan to get out.
But this time no one helped her to restrain the monster. The thing hiding in the dark seemed to sense Shen Qing's intention, and it screamed and suddenly pounced on Shen Qing.
However, Chen Qing seemed to have expected this. The talisman paper in her hand turned in an instant and faced the thing. The guy pounced too fast and there was no time to stop. It crashed directly into the talisman paper in Chen Qing's hand, and its whole body could no longer move.
The strange wind in the house stopped instantly, and the surrounding darkness as thick as ink was also cut through by the moonlight that penetrated the paper window, and the bright moonlight cast a layer of silver in the house.
The faint moonlight allows people to see things just enough so that they are not completely blind.
Taking advantage of the moment when the thing couldn't move, Chen Qing quickly rushed to the mirror table. She opened the mirror box with one hand, pulled out an object from it, then hugged the object in her arms and ran out.
The tightly closed door was opened as soon as it was pulled. Just as Chen Qing ran out, the talisman paper on the monster's head spontaneously combusted and quickly burned to ashes. As the last bit of ash dispersed, the monster opened its eyes, and at the same time, the flare in Chen Qing's hand was released.
A huge golden flower pattern exploded above the Shen Mansion, and the bright light of the flare illuminated half of the Shen Mansion.
At the same time, the monster also chased after Chen Qing.
Chen Qing hid behind a tree and threw out another talisman paper.
The monster was obviously afraid of the talisman in Chen Qing's hand, and did not forget to dodge it while attacking.
Chen Qing was already very bad at swordsmanship, and when he returned to the age of seventeen before he started to work hard, his delicate skin and tender flesh could not exert any strength at all, not to mention that he did not have a sword.
She could only rely on the remaining talisman paper to delay time.
As the last talisman was cast, the monster finally came closer. Its fangs and big mouth emitting a strong fishy smell were so close that Chen Qing almost vomited the overnight meal.
When the fangs were less than two fingers away from the tip of Chen Qing's nose, at the critical moment, the monster was suddenly dragged back.
The source of the stench left, and when Chen Qing saw the person coming, he blurted out a name: "Senior Brother!"
A man in blue came walking on the moon, his light hair flying in the wind. The moonlight coated the ends of his hair with a layer of light frost. At this moment, the young man looked like a god from the ninth heaven, descending from the sky.
At that moment, his handsome eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost. Even so, one could vaguely see that he was usually a gentleman with a clear and gentle temperament. It was only because this demon touched his bottom line today that his face became gloomy.
Liu Jiuyue didn't waste any words. He swung the Mo Dao in his hand, picked up its tail with one knife, and pulled it away from Shen Qing's face. The monster felt pain and shrank its body to bite back. Liu Jiuyue dodged its attack lightly and then started fighting with it.
In his spare time, he did not forget to say, "Set up the formation and protect yourself." His voice was as pleasant as broken jade hitting ice.
Chen Qing quickly returned to the house and took out a blank yellow talisman. She bit her fingertips and made more than a dozen talismans in unison. She kept five for herself and folded the remaining ten into a stack, taking the opportunity to throw them to Liu Jiuyue.
"Brother! Catch it!"
Liu Jiuyue caught the talisman paper and saw the bloodstains that had not yet dried on it. His brows sank even more. He said nothing more, chanted a spell, and urged the talisman paper to be used.
He had set out in a hurry this time, and brought nothing but his Mo Dao. If he wanted to subdue the monster with his own skills, the noise he would make would certainly be huge, but it would be easier with the talisman paper.
Chen Qing stayed in the formation, quietly watching Liu Jiuyue exorcise the demon.
The last time they met in their previous life, they parted on bad terms because she insisted on asking Liu Jiuyue to cancel the marriage arranged by the saint, and the person to be married was Shen Ling.
The commotion she made was so big that everyone knew that she liked her senior brother, hated Shen Ling, and even wished Shen Ling dead.
Faced with her confession, the senior scolded her for being naughty in front of everyone. This was also the only time when the two of them had the most serious quarrel.
In the end, Liu Jiuyue left in disappointment on the pretext of eliminating demons. She was gone for several months and never returned to Xuanji Pavilion. Shen Ling, whose Liuli Heart was taken away by her, cried miserably.
Although she felt good, she paid the price with her life.
Memories of his previous life flashed through his mind. While he was lost in thought, Liu Jiuyue had already struck the monster with the final blow, finishing it off.
In the moonlight, one could see that it was a weasel demon as big as a wolf. Its eyes were as red as blood, and its wide fangs were covered with sticky saliva, which quickly flowed into a pool on the ground.
Liu Jiuyue put the Mo Dao back into his waist and strode into Chen Qing's house. He ignored the barrier of the formation in front of him and easily came to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing was still staring at him intently, muttering, "Senior Brother."
Although Liu Jiuyue looked unhappy, she couldn't bear to get angry, so she could only purse her lips and say "hmm".
"sorry."
He thought she was voluntarily admitting her mistake of using blood to make the talisman, and the remaining anger in his heart disappeared. He could only helplessly take out the bottle of medicine from his sleeve and hand it to her.
"Apply medicine to the wound first."
Chen Qing bit her lower lip as she took the medicine bottle. She saw the body of the weasel demon out of the corner of her eye, and then she realized what was happening and started to feel scared.
What happened tonight did not happen in her previous life. It was all because of her rebirth and the cause and effect brought about by her rebirth.
There will be more troubles or monsters coming in the future, and Liu Jiuyue cannot keep her with her at all times. Everyone in the mansion and her father and mother will also be affected by her and may be attacked by monsters.
She must find a long-term bodyguard, who must be reliable and capable.
Chen Qing touched the Pisces jade pendant on her waist through her clothes, and the boy's extremely beautiful face flashed through her mind.
It looks like she needs to speed up.
