"Wake up."
Luo Zheyu patted his face, lifted him up a little to prevent him from choking on the water, and wrote a word on each side of his face.
Write "Thank you" on the left.
Write the decision on the right.
Li Yu knew a few words; Du Xiang'er had taught her.
The Du family asked Du Xiang'er to learn calligraphy for a period of time, because this would give her the title of "talented woman" and make her more valuable.
"Thank you?"
"Who is Xie Jue? Such a familiar name..."
Time was running out, and in order to get Xie Jue back to health before "Li Yu" died, Luo Zheyu gave the most obvious hint.
He wrote "you" on Xie Jue's forehead.
"……I?"
"How can I be Xie Jue? I am Li..."
He suddenly stopped.
"I'm not Li Yu."
The soft voice suddenly became crisper than ever before, with a straight tone.
The surrounding scenes gradually became distorted and blurred.
He stretched out his hand and grasped the void.
"Pull me out."
…
The Spring Festival is approaching, but Du Xiang'er is going crazy.
Li Yu drowned in a pond. When she was found, her body was floating on the water. Her eyes were almost bulging out, staring silently at the sky.
The lady deliberately concealed the fact that it was her son who pushed Li Yu into the water, but many servants witnessed the incident and it soon became known to everyone.
Du Xiang'er pretended to be sick and collected a lot of strong medicines. She mixed them all together and ground them into powder, using them as poison, and sprinkled them into the wine jar on New Year's Day.
On this day, everyone will drink some wine to share in the festive mood.
She waited for everyone to drink, but a servant secretly drank two cups and fainted on the spot, and the matter was exposed.
Li Gui was so angry that he was ready to resort to lynching and threatened to sell Du Xiang'er to a brothel.
Luo Zheyu arrived with Xie Jue, who still looked like Li Yu.
Xie Jue did not drown, it was Li Yu who drowned.
But when Xie Jue was pulled out of the pond, the scene fast-forwarded again, directly to the time after Li Yu's death and Du Xiang'er's revenge.
Du Xiang'er, now Wen Jin, lay on the ground with an expressionless face. Li Gui ordered his servants to get the torture instruments.
Luo Zheyu floated over and patted him on the head using the old method.
Wen Jin suddenly raised his head and looked around.
"Oh, you vicious woman, it's no use pretending to be crazy and stupid now!" Li Gui said hatefully.
Luo Zheyu had been unhappy with him for a long time. A fake character created from an illusion dared to act so arrogantly and bully his uncle.
With a pull of soul power, an invisible force hit Li Gui's back heavily. In an instant, Li Gui was knocked out of the house.
Before he landed on the ground, the soul power followed and hit him, sending him flying into the sky and turning him into a small black dot on the horizon.
Li Gui was not a real person, so there was no chance of him being beaten to pieces. He just flew out easily.
Wen Jin, who was wearing Du Xianger's body, was completely stunned.
The development of things was too fantastic, which made him deeply doubt himself and the world.
--who I am?
——Where am I?
——What am I doing?
What kind of world is this!
Luo Zheyu patted his shoulder.
Wen Jin looked over with trembling lips, but saw nothing.
"...I...this...Zheyu?"
He blurted out suddenly.
This surprised Luo Zheyu a little. He didn't expect that his uncle, who was so immersed in the role, could come out of it in a second. He is worthy of being his uncle. He is much better than Xie Jue.
Xie Jue, who was floating in the air and could not help, said: …
He hates it so much.
He felt sad, but he didn't say it.
Now that the clouds have parted and the moon is visible, Wen Jin can naturally break away from Du Xiang'er. Luo Zheyu pulled him, and as if a soul has left the body, Wen Jin breaks away from her body in the form of Du Xiang'er.
No one knew what the female ghost was going to do. She must have known that Luo Zheyu and the other two had escaped from the illusion, but she had no other reaction and just let the story of "Du Xiang'er" continue to develop.
The three of them stood in the void, watching the events unfold below.
Wen Jin had a stern face, expressionless, and looked down with a focused expression.
Xie Jue had a stern face, expressionless, and looked down with a focused expression.
They can't see each other.
There is no sight of Wen Jin, graceful and delicate, with her long skirt swaying gently.
You can't see Xie Jue's naive look. He is about 1.5 meters tall with two buns on his head.
Anyway, it’s just selective blindness. It would be better if everyone doesn’t see each other or themselves.
Luo Zheyu stood between the two of them, with one hand around his chest, the other elbow resting on the hand around his chest, his palm pressing against his mouth, and his expression looking very serious.
Below.
Li Gui was knocked away, and the character who committed lynching was gone, so the female ghost had to skip this scene and jump to the next one.
Brothel.
Du Xiang'er tried to commit suicide several times, but was watched so closely that she could not die.
She seemed to become stupid and obedient, and the brothel pushed her out to receive customers. The first customer was a pervert. She behaved very submissively, and when the other party relaxed his guard, she took the burning candle brought by the other party and pressed it against his lower body, and did not let go no matter how he kicked and hit her.
The customer's treasure was destroyed, Du Xiang'er was beaten half to death, and a lot of her hair was pulled out.
Before the brothel could punish the client, the client's wife came with a group of people and demanded that Du Xiang'er be handed over, or they would report her to the police. The brothel didn't want to make a big fuss, and they didn't dare to let Du Xiang'er receive any more guests, so they handed her over.
Coincidentally, when Du Xiang'er came out of the brothel and was tied up and walking behind a carriage on the street, she ran into the Du family's sedan chair.
"Dad! Mom!"
She cried out for help, and her tears, which had dried up, suddenly burst out.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing Du's mother's face. She glanced over here and saw Du Xiang'er's appearance. She looked around and saw that no one noticed her, so she quickly lowered the curtain.
The curtain of the sedan chair in which Du's father was sitting in front was never lifted.
Du Xiang'er's tears stopped immediately. She looked up at the sky. The sky was covered with haze, most of the sun was blocked, and the dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker.
It's going to rain soon.
The lady's punishment method was not very sophisticated and was several times worse than the training methods used in brothels.
But it still hurts when it falls on your body.
Du Xiang'er wanted to escape, so she pretended to be weaker than she actually was. One day, the knife she used to cut her flesh stabbed the woman who was guarding her.
She changed into women's clothes and escaped at noon when the guard dozed off.
However, after escaping, there was no new life.
Her body was already damaged, she was weak, covered with scars, even her face had a large scar. She was penniless, and the world was vast, but there was no place for her to hide.
If you hide in an abandoned thatched hut when it rains, you will be driven away by the beggars inside because of your terrifying appearance.
Du Xiang'er saw Mrs. Li's son from afar on the street. According to passers-by, he passed the imperial examination and became a very famous person in the town.
He is living a really good life.
How can he live so well?
The dead heart was grabbed tightly by a big hand and pulled out of the chest.
Hatred roared up from her heart, devouring Du Xiang'er's remaining sanity.
She wished she could tear off the other person's flesh and blood piece by piece, chew it up and swallow it.
When Du Xiang'er came to her senses, she was pouncing on the other person, biting his neck and tearing it. Many people around her were pulling her away, but they couldn't.
"Where did this crazy woman come from!"
Finally, he was kicked away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The man who kicked Du Xiang'er away was dressed in rich clothes, had a dignified appearance and a dignified bearing, and asked with concern on his face.
"It hurts so much, I was bitten by this crazy woman and bled. I don't know if she has any disease..."
"I don't know which family this crazy woman is from. She came out to harm good people and made you innocently get bitten. In my opinion, the government should lock her up!"
"You're right. Thank you for saving me. I have nothing else to repay you. Why don't you do me the honor of dining with me at Zui Xiang Lou?"
"No, I just came to your aid when I saw injustice. You are too polite..."
The two men were handsome and walked away together.
The onlookers pointed at Du Xiang'er, and when they saw her moving on the ground, they quickly dispersed, fearing that they would be bitten by the crazy woman.
"Sigh..." Wen Jin sighed softly.
"I can't bear to watch this anymore. Du Xiang'er won't live long in her physical condition. Is it time to end it?"
He is right.
Du Xiang'er got up from the ground and walked aimlessly, her heart burning with hatred that made her whole body hurt.
When she passed through the city gate, an old beggar with half a leg missing took pity on her and stuffed half a hard steamed bun into her hands.
"I want him dead, but I can't kill him. Everyone praises him. What should I do?"
She muttered to herself, as if asking the old beggar.
"… People will die sooner or later."
The old beggar opened his mouth and said this, his eyebrows drooping, his gray hair sparse, and his tattered clothes were cleaner than those of ordinary beggars.
"You will die sooner or later, huh..." Du Xiang'er murmured and walked away.
The scene changes, and Du Xiang'er stands on the top of the mountain, looking down blankly.
Li Yu, with two buns on her hair, seemed to be standing below and smiling at her, with light in her eyes and warm dimples.
"Yu'er..."
Du Xianger jumped down.
…
When Luo Zheyu opened his eyes, Wen Jin also woke up.
He sat up and touched his cheek.
Why does it feel a bit painful and burning?
"Cough." Luo Zheyu covered his mouth with his fist.
"Uncle, you look much better now."
Wen Jin was stunned for a moment, then her whole face turned red. She lowered her head and got up from the ground, ignoring Luo Zheyu.
When he turned around, he saw Xie Jue sitting next to him.
The two glanced at each other casually, then calmly looked away.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
No matter how you feel in your heart, you have to pretend nothing happened on the surface.
Forget everything, and all will be empty.
Both sides were very reluctant to mention it or recall it.
Xie Jue stood up, with a broken and deformed black cloth bag beneath him.
This was burst when he transformed from a fur ball back into a human.
He calmly picked up the cloth bag, crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket.
"Xie Jue, there seems to be something on your back..."
Luo Zheyu spoke to break the silence.
His back was bulging and his clothes were propped up, making him look like a hunchback of 1.8 meters tall.
Xie Jue suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but there was nothing behind him.
"On your back." Luo Zheyu reminded.
Xie Jue looked up at him, his amber eyes were extremely sharp, his lips were slightly pursed, the corners of his mouth were naturally downwards, and his expression was serious and resolute.
He just stared at Luo Zheyu and reached out to touch his back.
Through the clothes, I felt a bulging ball, hidden inside the clothes.
He reached out to unbutton his clothes, his fingers as slender as a girl's.
“Oh…”
There was a sobbing sound coming from behind, which was ignored by the three people.
Luo Zheyu waved his hands without looking back, and a silver-white flame burned violently, surrounding the three people to protect them.
"Oh, oh, oh!" The crying became louder.
Xie Jue unbuttoned all the buttons and took off his shirt, revealing his tanned skin, eight-pack abs and smooth muscles.
In front of Wen Jin and Luo Zheyu, he turned around and revealed what was on his back.
“Wings, wings!?”
Wen Jin exclaimed.
"Brown, hairless, and the same leather wings as the fur ball before..."
Xie Jue tried to move the leather wings behind him, and the pair of leather wings suddenly spread out and waved gently a few times.
"...When fully extended, it's half a meter long in total."
Luo Zheyu gave a descriptive account of Xie Jue.
The pair of leather wings that suddenly grew out of Xie Jue's back were too small, just like the small wing props that a five or six-year-old child used when performing on stage. They were very miniature and... cute.
The pair of leather wings flapped back and forth, faster and faster...
Wow! Wow! Wow!
There was a huge flapping sound in the air.
Xie Jue managed to fly up a little, half a meter above the ground, and was shaky. After that, no matter how he flapped his leather wings, he could not fly higher.
Flying is not as high as jumping.
Luo Zheyu and Wen Jin watched silently, looked at each other, and very tactfully said nothing.
What can I say?
Buddy, you can't do it. You can't fly.
Dude, give it up, this is just for cuteness.
Man, these leather wings are so chic and suit you so well.
Luo Zheyu turned around, retracted the flame, and looked at Du Xiang'er who was sitting on the ground opposite him and crying for a long time.
Perhaps because she had used all her ultimate moves but had not done anything to the three of them, Du Xiang'er acted gentle and harmless at this moment - if you ignore her dark eyes filled with tears of blood.
Seeing that someone finally gave her a chance, Du Xiang'er stopped crying and said faintly: "I jumped off the cliff a hundred years ago and I can never leave here again."
"I thought that when I died, I would let go of everything and go to the underworld to reunite with Yu'er."
"That black energy... has been trapping me for the past hundred years. I thought it was some kind of monster, but I never expected it to be my own resentment..."
"It turns out that I have always hated, hated everyone. I hated my parents for being cruel. In order to please the gentry, they gave me to Li Gui as a concubine. I hated them for being stone-hearted and sitting back and doing nothing... I hated Li Gui for never caring about Yu'er because she was a daughter. I hated the lady, her son, and I even hated Yu'er. Why did she go to the pond? Why did she die? Why did she leave me behind!"
"What I hate the most is myself. I was powerless when I married Li Gui as a concubine. I was powerless when Yu'er was bullied. After Yu'er died, I couldn't even avenge her... and I watched my enemy live a carefree life and be praised by others."
Du Xiang'er spoke miserably, and suddenly changed the subject.
"It is not my intention to harm innocent people. The black energy used to have no power other than trapping me. I don't know how it has become stronger recently. I... I don't know what happened. It is definitely not my intention to harm anyone!"
She blinked, and her face, which was black and bloody with tears, suddenly changed its appearance. Her palm-sized face, fair skin, and watery eyes looked at Luo Zheyu pitifully.
"My three lords, I really didn't take the initiative to harm anyone. I hope you can spare my life."
Luo Zheyu: …
Maybe Du Xiang'er was telling the truth. Before she was forced into a corner by the flames, she was obviously unable to actively control her resentment.
But the subsequent wave of operations was really unexpected.
First, because he couldn't resist Luo Zheyu's flames, he dragged the three people into the illusion, waiting for an opportunity to kill them. When he saw that his plan failed, he immediately acted pitifully to make people feel sympathetic. Finally, he said that he was actually a good ghost and there was another hidden story behind everything...
