Chapter 274 The Sorrow of Two Girls



"What are you looking at? You're so angry."

Gu Zhou came down from upstairs yawning. He had taken two hours of sleep in the afternoon and was still feeling sleepy.

Qi Jing turned around and waved at him, "Come here quickly, they have caught the opera-singing ghost."

Gu Zhou quickly squeezed in next to Qi Jing and sat down. He leaned back and raised his hand to place it on the back of the sofa behind Qi Jing.

Qi Jing naturally leaned over and whispered to Gu Zhou what he had just seen, then continued to look down.

In the picture, Xing'er was tied to a sedan chair, crying helplessly with a cloth strip stuffed in her mouth. Que'er ran out of the opera troupe, chasing the sedan chair and shouting, but was pushed to the side of the road.

Xing'er was brought back to a big house, locked in a room, forced to take a bath and put to bed.

He was a forty-five-year-old man with long braids, sunken eye sockets, and a dark yellowish complexion.

Gu Zhou frowned as he looked at her, "You smoked too much."

Qi Jing knew that this was a very disgusting thing and eating too much would be bad for the body.

He hummed and continued reading, just speeding up a bit.

Xing'er had a very hard time in that house and was locked up in the house for a long time before being released.

There are many other women in the house. Some of them ignore Xing'er, while others dislike her and always bully her.

After a long time, the man seemed to be disgusted with Xing'er, and other men appeared in Xing'er's room.

There were many, some were guests, some were servants.

As time passed, the light in Xing'er's eyes completely went out.

She fell ill and was discovered and thrown out by the people in the house. Just like that, a roll of straw mat was thrown into the beggars' den, and a new round of trampling began.

Girls are always soft-hearted. Seeing what happened to Xing'er, the expressions of several girls turned grim, their eyes were red, and they were about to cry.

Fortunately, Xing'er was picked up and grew up to be a bird.

She brought Xing'er back to the opera troupe and used the money she earned from doing odd jobs to pay for Xing'er's medical treatment.

Perhaps it was because she felt warm again after returning to a familiar place, a light gradually appeared in Xing'er's eyes. She began to sing, singing for Que'er and for herself, singing the Baihua Pavilion where she had always wanted to perform.

But her voice was completely broken and her singing was not good.

Que'er's singing became better and better, and soon she was able to perform on stage.

Xing'er was very happy. She made a wreath for Que'er and put it on her with her own hands.

But on that day, the troupe was broken into again. It was the same sedan chair again, and the same person who led the group smashed the troupe, but this time it was to steal Que'er.

Xing'er rushed forward madly and was pushed down and beaten by those people.

But those people didn't see that when Xing'er was pushed down, her head hit the steps hard and blood gushed out.

Xing'er died. When Que'er was forced into Xiaojiao, Xing'er's soul left her body and floated to Que'er's side.

A strong wind blew, narrowed my eyes, and overturned the sedan chair.

Que'er ran out, and Xing'er untied the rope with great effort. She kept calling Que'er to run faster. Her ethereal soul blew gusts of wind until Xing'er's soul was almost transparent. She had no strength left and fell completely into darkness.

Xing'er's memory ended here, and the living room fell into deathly silence.

Qi Yue took a while to come back to her senses, "So the person she's looking for is that little girl?"

"That's probably the case." Qi Jing tilted his head, "But judging from her facial features, the one called Que'er must have died after her."

Qi Yao took a deep breath and said, "So, neither of them escaped."

"Strictly speaking, he died trying to escape." Gu Zhou said calmly, "Those kinds of things happened a lot in that era. If you were powerful, you could find someone to take the blame for murder, not to mention robbing two girls."

Qi Qi muttered, "It's a good thing we weren't born in that era."

"Don't be too naive. There are still kidnappers and traffickers nowadays, and their end won't be any better than this." Zhao Yin touched Xiao Qi's head. He had also seen this happen seriously.

The others also fell silent. Although they had never seen it in reality, trafficking did exist.

Qi Huang asked, "What should Xing'er do then?"

Xing'er wants to find Que'er, but it is said that Que'er died a long time ago. No one knows whether Que'er's soul is still in the world, or whether he has been reincarnated long ago.

Qi Mo couldn't help but remind him, "Before that, shouldn't you have wondered why she was awakened by that person? Was it because of that person, or because she happened to be in the place where the female ghost was sleeping?"

Gu Zhou nodded, "No matter why, she must have a connection with that Lan Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Qi Qi immediately asked, "Don't you know how to read faces? Can't you see it?"

Gu Zhou rolled his eyes at Qi Qi and said, "You can't tell fortunes by looking at past lives, what are you dreaming about?"

"If you can't see it, then you can't see it. Why are you so angry?" Qi Qi snorted, looking very unhappy.

Gu Zhou was speechless. Was he fierce? What was he fierce about?

He ignored Qi Qi and took the talisman card from Qi Jing's hand and released the female ghost Xing'er.

The memories that Qi Jing played existed deep in Xing'er's soul. While mobilizing her memories, Xing'er also regained her lost memories.

She stood there in a trance, muttering to Que'er. The person she was looking for was indeed Que'er.

Qi Jing asked her, "Why are you following Lan Yuan?"

Xing'er shook her head, a sad look in her eyes. She just wanted to find Que'er.

"The lyrics of the opera part are adapted from Baihua Pavilion."

Qi Jun's sudden words attracted everyone's attention, even Xing'er looked at Qi Jun.

She said sadly, "The sparrow will recognize me when it hears me."

In Xing'er's memory, she had sung "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" to Que'er many times. If Que'er had not been reincarnated, this would be the secret code for their reunion.

But after nearly a hundred years, the possibility of meeting again is almost zero.

Gu Zhou didn't really want to get involved in these matters. He looked at Qi Yue and Qi Huang and said, "Learn how to send ghosts away and fulfill the ghosts' obsessions in their lifetime."

"But how can we find Que'er?" Qi Huang frowned. Such a long time had passed, and they had no idea whether Que'er had been reincarnated.

Qi Yue followed up, "Does your wish include having Xing'er perform at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion?"

Gu Zhou took Xing'er's spell card back and threw it to Qi Yue. "No need to look for it. The code has been sent out. You just need to guard Lanyuan and you will know whether Que'er's soul is still there. If you can't wait, it means she has been reincarnated. It's difficult to confirm it, but you can go on stage."

My uncle really likes her acting and she has the talent. Let her sing on stage as Lan Yuan. Then buy some trending searches and wait and see. If she doesn’t show up, send her away.”

After Gu Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yuanqi and said, "Teach them how to summon the ghost gate."

Huo Yuanqi pursed his lips and said with difficulty, "I can't."

As he spoke, Huo Yuanqi lowered his head. His cultivation was not enough to summon the Ghost Gate.

"If one of them can't do it, we can just get together and make it through. There are always more solutions than problems."

Gu Zhou leaned back lazily. The whole matter was very simple. It was just right for Qi Huang and the others to try their hand. Once they could handle it on their own, he would feel much more relaxed.
