Chapter 11 Filial Daughter 5
◎Addictive to committing suicide◎
Yan Yue thought she would be scared when she saw Sun Yun's skeleton, but she wasn't.
Her heart was surprisingly calm, without any fear or uneasiness. She carefully wiped the dirt off the bones with a silk handkerchief and carefully placed the bones into the coffin, as if they were delicate babies, afraid that they would be hurt by any bumps.
After the graves of Sun Yun and her father were rebuilt, Yan Yue erected a tombstone for the father and daughter. Afterwards, the paper-made Sun family old house was set on fire in front of the tombstone of the filial daughter and loving father.
The villagers couldn't help but whisper: "I didn't expect the Sun family had such a relative!"
"Really! Even a distant relative could do this, but that mother..."
"well……"
The setting sun shines obliquely, and the sunset glows like fire.
The burning flames leap freely, like elves breaking free from their restraints, reveling wantonly in the embrace of the sunset.
The dancing afterglow stained Yan Yue’s usually pale face with a hint of orange-red.
Yan Yue looked at the dancing flames, smiled gently and said: "Sun Yun, I hope your family will be happy and fulfilled in your next life!"
*
By the time all the paper items were almost burned, it was completely dark.
The two hired ox carts and the dozen or so strong men left early, and the villagers went home for dinner.
Yan Yue was going to wait until the paper-made fireworks were completely extinguished before returning to the town, but something unexpected happened.
Mother Sun came running over at some point, looking crazy, holding the child in her arms and rushing towards Yan Yue: "Give me back my son's life! Give me back Shan Lang's life!"
Only then did Yan Yue realize that the dark aura on the child's face had disappeared, and his skin color had taken on an ominous gray color.
This child... is dead? !
The moment Yan Yue was stunned, Sun's mother pounced on her with fangs bared and pressed her to the ground!
Fists and slaps came down on her head. Yan Yue blocked them in panic, but Sun's mother seemed to be crazy. She threw the dead child aside and fought with her desperately.
Yan Yue was finally furious and fought back while cursing: "Justice is clear, retribution will come! Look at the evil things you have done, how dare you blame others!"
While struggling, she touched a piece of bamboo supporting the paper-making, which was still burning. She grabbed it and stabbed it at Sun's mother.
The bamboo blank did not have any effect, the flame was too weak and went out directly, but the charcoal fire still burned a hole in Sun's mother's clothes.
Mother Sun waved her hand away and rode Yan Yue under her again.
Yan Yue was not half as strong as Sun's mother, so she could not resist. However, she unexpectedly noticed that a cluster of flames suddenly appeared at the hole in Sun's mother's clothes that was burned! So she scolded Sun's mother for delaying time, saying that she could escape when the flames got bigger.
"Think about why your son died at the age of two and a half. You caused Sun Yun to suffer for two and a half years in vain. If I were Sun Yun's father, I would be reborn in your belly and return these two and a half years of torture to you!"
"The son you begged for with so much difficulty! He is the punishment given to you by your sick husband who committed suicide by swallowing charcoal!"
Upon hearing this, Sun's mother was stunned for two breaths, and suddenly her eyes turned red. She screamed "Ahhhh", picked up the stone at hand and smashed it hard on Yan Yue's head!
Yan Yue's eyes went dark and she immediately lost the strength to resist, and was strangled by Sun's mother. The feeling of dizziness and suffocation made his head feel dizzy again, and the burning sensation seemed to linger all over his body, but he was too weak to struggle.
She cried out in her heart: God, are you playing tricks on me? I just had a few good days...
After Bai Chen finished his work, he remembered the little fool who was left in the inn. Without her these days, he couldn't even enjoy his meals!
As I was walking back slowly, I noticed a flame under my feet.
His eyes could see things more clearly at night, and what's more, there were flames on Yan Yue's body, so it was hard for him not to see clearly.
There was a loud bang, as if the gust of wind turned into a physical object and smashed down heavily!
Bai Chen kicked the crazy woman who was riding on Yan Yue away, pulled her into his arms, and waved his hand to extinguish the flames on her body. The embarrassed little face coughed a few times, looked up and saw his face, and its mouth opened wide.
"You're finally back!"
Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat. The scolding that was about to burst out of his mouth was pushed back by these few words. The anger and annoyance in his chest disappeared in an instant, leaving only heartache and self-blame.
Yan Yue looked up and saw the handsome face that looked as if it had been carefully carved, and her heart instantly felt at ease.
She hugged his chest and howled, "You still remembered to come back! Where have you been? You didn't even tell me! I thought you didn't care about me anymore..."
She hugged him too tightly, and Bai Chen was a little at a loss. He stood stiffly listening to her complaints, feeling inexplicably guilty.
He was used to being alone, leaving on a whim and never had the habit of telling anyone his whereabouts. Anyway, if his subordinates want to find him, they can basically find him unless there are unexpected circumstances.
But he forgot that this little fool was just a small and powerless mortal. Seeing her like this, she must be really scared, right?
Bai Chen patted her back hesitantly, glanced at the woman who couldn't get up but was still yelling, and asked, "What's going on?"
When Bai Chen frowned, the corners of his eyes looked sharp and intimidating. Yan Yue didn't dare to displease him, and evaded the question by saying, "She is just a mad woman. She has done too many bad things and now she is being punished. Let's go!"
Bai Chen was too lazy to explore and just said "hmm" lightly from his throat.
Yan Yue had twisted her ankle during the fight just now, and she looked at him pitifully and said, "My ankle hurts..."
Bai Chen held his breath in his throat, but looking at her burnt clothes and hair, her face covered in dirt and black ash, she looked so miserable that he finally half-knelt down and said, "Come up."
Yan Yue smiled happily and climbed onto Bai Chen's back.
"Why do you always look half dead every time I see you?"
"Do you like this? Are you addicted to committing suicide in various ways?"
"Look at the mess you've made yourself into. If you run into someone on the street, I wouldn't even recognize you!"
"Tell me, I've only been away for a few days."
Yan Yue didn't dare to say anything at first, but he kept scolding her, so she couldn't help but retort, "Then who told you not to be here?"
"I……!"
Bai Chen choked, his tone somewhat exasperated: "I really owe you! I found a living ancestor like you to be my maid, and you still have to serve me, your master, every day!"
Yan Yue was unconvinced and argued: "Then I also washed your clothes and made your bed!"
Bai Chenxin said, who needs you to wash? My clothes are made of fairy silk and are never stained by dust! Because of you, I still have to wear clothes made by mortals!
Yan Yue added: "I have also made the boots. I also embroidered a pair of animal patterns on the tubes! So impressive! Do you like animal patterns? If not, I can embroider Fu, Lu and Shou for you next time. But I am not very good at embroidering flowers, fruits, landscapes, etc...."
When they returned to the inn, Yan Yue was sleeping on Bai Chen's back.
The waiter was a little surprised to see him, "Mr. Bai, you're back? Hey? Miss Yan, what's going on..."
Bai Chen stretched out his index finger and placed it between his lips: "Shh!"
Seeing Bai Chen heading straight upstairs, the waiter lowered his voice and called out, "Master! Miss Yan's room is over there..."
Bai Chen looked at the narrow door in the corner downstairs and frowned.
The waiter's hair stood on end as he quickly explained, "The room fee you paid earlier has been used up, and Miss Yan will, will..."
Bai Chen took off his purse and threw it heavily to the waiter, saying coldly: "When I'm not around, she will also live in the room! If you're short of money, I'll double it! If you dare to neglect her..."
The waiter was almost crying with fear: "Yes, it was Miss Yan. She asked to be moved to a lower room... She has also paid the rent..."
Bai Chen was stunned and glanced at the sleeping woman on his shoulder. She ran to that country village. Could it be that she was trying to find a way to make money?
"Get ready, she's going to take a bath later."
Bai Chen threw down a sentence and went upstairs. The waiter hurriedly responded: "Hey, yes, yes!"
After laying her down on his back, Bai Chen reached out to wipe the dust off her face, then pinched her face with amusement and said, "How stupid! Can't you bluff them when you have no money? You're like a steamed bun that can be manipulated by anyone. You really bring shame to me!"
The waiter brought a bathtub, and Bai Chen touched Yan Yue's forehead with his index finger, and a fluorescent light flashed on his fingertips.
However, Yan Yue didn't react at all.
Bai Chen was wondering why she wasn't waking up yet since it was just a magic trick that made her fall asleep so that she could quickly rush back to the inn? Are mortals so crispy? Are you going to die now?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Yan Yue mutter and turn to the side.
Bai Chen was speechless for a while, then he pinched the soft flesh of her cheek and shouted, "You were sleeping soundly, weren't you?!"
*
With her strong thighs back, Yan Yue's life became better again.
She used to live in the village and rarely went into the city, let alone see new things.
Bai Chen had previously only taken Yan Yue to big restaurants to eat. Although the food was sumptuous and luxurious, Yan Yue had tried the food from the snack stalls a few days ago and found it to be quite tasty. This time, she took Bai Chen to try various stalls and small restaurants to try something new and interesting.
When seeing something fun and interesting, Bai Chen would always wave his hand and say “Buy!” It seemed as if the gold ingots in his purse would never be used up!
He is always generous with his money, never asks the price when buying things, and never bargains. But Yan Yue likes to bargain, and even when buying a few red fruits, she would haggle with people for several rounds.
So it often happens that Yan Yue happily bets on two copper coins, and the stall owner takes the change given by Bai Chen and says he can’t make the change, and Bai Chen will wave his hand and say, “No need to make the change!”
The stall owner held the change in his hand with a confused look on his face, looking at the two men's backs as they left, not knowing whether to say they were sick or to say thank you.
The only thing that made Yan Yue depressed was that Zhou Lin was missing.
Zhou Lin hadn't come to see her for several days, and Yan Yue couldn't help but wonder: Doesn't this guy need my help anymore? So you left me? Or is it that you have become more forgetful and have forgotten about me?
At midnight, Yan Yue secretly got up and looked around the inn, but saw no one.
No, it's a ghost.
She ran out of the inn, wondering where Zhou Lin would go.
Only at this moment did she realize that she had never asked Zhou Lin where they went during the day? Do they ghosts need to eat? What to eat?
She felt that she was not a good friend at all, and that she knew very little about her friends and cared very little about them. She kicked the stone in frustration, thinking that she would ask Zhou Lin clearly when she saw him. If he came back...
The evening breeze brought the faint sound of musical instruments, and bursts of perfumed scent penetrated into the nose. Yan Yue looked up and saw a three-story, brightly lit, bustling place, ah! It's a brothel!
She was distracted and accidentally dropped a stone under her feet, which flew towards a figure leaning against the wall!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Yan Yue hurried forward, bowed and apologized: "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Did I hurt you?"
The man was startled at first, took two steps back, and stared at Yan Yue in astonishment.
He looked around and saw no one else, then he looked her up and down again, seeming a little incredulous.
"You, can you see me?"

Yan Yue [bursts into tears], this isn’t over yet…
