Red Dust Inn

Mu Yao sat at the door, took a steamed bun in his hand, tore a piece and threw it on the ground, the old yellow dog leaned over to sniff it, and looked away disgusted.Mu Yao scolded, "I'll give you something to eat or not, it's only this, it's useless to dislike it."

The old yellow dog barked twice, and Liu Shisan on the recliner turned over and said inarticulately, "Mu Yao, is our business not good? We can't even afford meat."

Mu Yao pulled a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "One of them lived in this month, and he was lying on it half dead."

Liu Shisan opened his eyes, the sun was hanging brightly in the air, releasing its light without hesitation, summer is coming soon.He opened the fan to cover his face and asked, "How long has she been lying down?"

"It's exactly three days until today's You hour."

"Oh, there is still an hour." After finishing speaking, he lost his voice, and after a long time, he said again, "Aren't you going to have a look?"

Mu Yao threw all the steamed buns in his hand to the big yellow dog, "You eat by yourself." After speaking, he got up and went into the inn, watered the orchids on the counter, and took a broken bowl filled with water and put it in front of the big yellow dog.The big yellow dog wailed twice, lying on the ground, sticking out its tongue and panting.Liu Shisan looked at the setting sun that was gradually slanting towards the west, it was dyed red for most of the day, and the clouds seemed to be on fire.Looking at it, he wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Throwing the sweet potatoes into the cloud, can they be roasted?Is it delicious?

After a while, the sound of Mu Yao going upstairs, the door opening, going downstairs, and then the voice of talking, "It's still on."

"It seems that if you don't see him, you won't be able to die." Liu Shisan said to himself, staring blankly into the distance, and his thoughts drifted far, far away.

On the second day, Xue Yuyun rushed into the inn and asked Mu Yao who was sweeping the floor, "Mu Yao, Hui Xi, is she still there?"

"do not know."

"Oh..." Xue Yuyun got used to Mu Yao's attitude, and lifted his feet to go upstairs, when Liu Shisan called him, "You're still there, look at your frizzy look."

Xue Yuyun relaxed, put on a smile, turned around, looked at Liu Shisan, "San, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see, Mr. Yun." Liu Shisan imitated Hui Xi's way and said.

Xue Tingyun said, "You look beautiful."

Liu Shisan said, "You've lost weight."

"Are you disgusted enough?" Mu Yao said in a deep voice.

Xue Yuyun took Liu Shisan to the balcony, and said as he walked, "Enough is enough." After the two sat down, Xue Yuyun said excitedly, "It will take seven days for the Xiliang Mission to arrive in Qianzhou, but the sixth brother today It will be there in the afternoon. I heard that the Xiliang prince ran away on the way and disappeared. The sixth younger brother took a step ahead and returned to the palace to plead guilty. If he said it was a plea, the third brother would definitely not punish him." He raised his hand. Holding up her hands, she raised her head and said, "God has eyes, Huixi persisted for four days, just in time for the sixth brother."

Liu Shisan listened to him quietly without answering.

Xue Yuyun drank his saliva and said in a thoughtful manner, "Tell me, if the sixth younger brother arrives in seven days, can Hui Xi last until that day?"

"Can you give it a try?" Liu Shisan said solemnly.

"I don't dare, if Hui Xi can't hold on, I won't be a sinner?"

At noon, Xue Yuyun left, saying that Xue Yuhan called him into the palace.

In the afternoon, a strange man came to the inn. He was not yet [-] years old, but there was some white in his black hair.It was obviously a young and handsome face, but it carried the vicissitudes and exhaustion that did not belong to him.Behind the man was a man. This man was wearing a blue silk dress with white patterns tattooed on it, and a suet jade pendant was pinned to his waist. He had a peachy smile on his face, and his hair was tied up, looking very energetic.This person is Xue Tingyun who just came in the morning, and the person in front is Xue Tingxuan.

Xue Yuxuan's hanging hands clenched tightly into fists, his Adam's apple moved, and he remembered in a deep voice, "Fourth Brother, where is Huixi?"

"The room on the far left upstairs." Xue Yuyun couldn't bear it, "You should be mentally prepared, Huixi, she might... hey, she will be very happy."

"I have experienced life and death, so what are you afraid of?" Xue Yuxuan hooked the corners of his mouth, that smile was very desolate.

"Go up, she has been waiting for you for a long time."

After Xue Yuxuan went upstairs, Liu Shisan came out, and the two of them looked at the upstairs. After a long time, Xue Yuyun asked, "Can Huixi wake up? If so, how long can she last? If not, she can feel the sixth brother coming. Do you see her?"

Liu Shisan lowered his head, twisted his neck, and tapped his shoulder with a fan, "Maybe Hui Xi has already disappeared, and all your sixth brother went up to see was an empty room." He shook his body and continued, " It seemed that my posture was not right when I was sleeping just now, and my shoulder hurts, would you like to rub it for me?"

"Rub it yourself." Xue Yuyun rolled his eyes, still looking upstairs.

Hui Xi felt that she had a dream. In the dream, there were Xue Tingxuan, Xue Tingjin, the luxuriant marriage tree, another woman's face, and many, many things... Fragmentary fragments flashed in her mind one by one. , She suddenly felt a headache.She heard someone calling her, the voice was very familiar, very familiar...

The candle beside the couch flickered and then went out.The afterglow of the setting sun came in through the window and shone on Xue Yuxuan's face, covering it with a layer of warmth.The person on the couch was lying quietly, as if asleep. Xue Yuxuan wanted to touch her face, but his outstretched hand stopped in midair.He didn't dare to touch her. At this time, she was like an exquisite glass and porcelain vase, afraid that it would break if touched.In the end, he just called her name one after another, "Hui Xi, Hui Xi..."

Hui Xi's eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes.The blurred shadow in front of her eyes gradually became clear, she sat up, looked at the person coming in disbelief, wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound because she was too excited, she could only shed tears silently.

Xue Yuxuan was very indifferent, sitting on the side of the couch, the smile on his face made his whole face radiant, he was not excited, surprised, or crying bitterly, but said slowly, "Huixi, I didn't expect to see you again, You are so cruel, let me live in this world alone, there is nothing but loneliness, do you regret it when you come back? Do you want me to go with you? "

Hui Xi shook her head, wiped her tears, forced a smile, opened her mouth to speak, but spit out a mouthful of blood, she tried hard to speak, but couldn't make a sound, she could only watch helplessly as she gradually disappeared .

Xue Yuxuan quietly looked at Hui Xi's gradually transparent body, and suddenly felt relaxed. He always wanted to know if Hui Xi had ever loved him. He waited for so long, it seemed like a lifetime, but now it doesn't matter anymore , At this moment, he knew that he had already let go.

"Hui Xi, you will not leave, you will always live in my heart, forever." Hui Xi on the couch was left with only a phantom, she stretched out her hand, but couldn't touch anything.Xue Yuxuan also stretched out his hand, and as soon as his fingertips touched Hui Xi, the phantom shattered into light spots like bubbles.

The door was knocked open with a "bang", Yu Shuangshi rushed in, took a white jade porcelain bottle in his hand, glanced at the light spot in the sky, and said "It's too late, it's too late..." While taking off the mahogany sword on his back, Dancing the iron chain, chanting words, the light spots in the air slowly gathered, and all of them were sucked into the porcelain bottle.

Xue Yuxuan looked at Yu Shuangshi who had stopped all movements, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

Yu Shuangshi held up the jade porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "I'm here to save her." He turned the porcelain bottle around twice, and said with some regret, "But it seems to be a bit late, I don't know if it will be useful."

Xue Yuyun walked in, groped in his bosom for a while, took out a crystal clear bead emitting a strange purple light, handed it to Yu Shuangshi and said, "With this, is there any hope?"

"I don't know, throw it in and try it." Yu Shuangshi opened the lid, and Xue Yuyun put the beads into the mouth of the jade porcelain bottle, and they were immediately sucked in.

Xue Yuxuan on the side didn't understand, so he asked, "Fourth brother, what is this?"

"This bead is the soul-suppressing bead, and it was given to me by my third brother. This bottle is... what is it?" He looked at Yu Shuangshi, and Yu Shuangshi said, "Jade Porcelain Bottle."

Xue Yuyun rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly, "Anyway, the soul of a person can be preserved, and Hui Xi doesn't need to be dissipated for the time being." Xue Yuxuan nodded and did not speak.Xue Tingyun looked at the calm Xue Tingxuan, and said puzzled, "Aren't you happy to hear this news? Even if you are mature and used to it, you don't have to lose your reaction at all."

Xue Yuxuan looked at the small porcelain vase and said, "I used to think that if you love someone, you must get her, so I entangled all the way, but in the end I lost her forever. For three years, I missed her day and night, and recalled our past What happened, in the end, I figured it out. To love someone, you don’t have to have it, as long as she is happy. But it’s too late. Now, I’m used to her leaving, and I’m used to relying on memories She's alive, so it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, if she can live, it's good, but if she can't, it doesn't matter, I can go to accompany her soon."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room and met Liu Shisan at the door. Liu Shisan hooked the corner of his mouth to make way for him. He glanced at Liu Shisan and went downstairs without looking back.Xue Yuyun didn't understand what he meant, shouldn't people who love each other be together?He chased him out and said loudly, "Sixth Brother, what did you say? Hui Xi will be back, don't do anything stupid."

Yu Shuangshi also came out, handed the jade porcelain vase to Liu Shisan, and said, "I can only do this. You said that I drove her to death. Now I have preserved her soul for future use." It's none of my business. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Liu Shisan looked at the slightly white bottle in his hand, and said, "Master Yu Shuang, you seem to be doing more harm than good."

"How to say?" Yu Shuangshi stopped and turned around.

"I don't think that man will live long, but you saved this female ghost, isn't it making people unhappy?"

Yu Shuangshi suddenly laughed twice, "It's okay, this female ghost's soul is broken, even with the protection of the soul-repelling beads and this bottle, no one can restore her, even if there is a way to restore it, I don't know when it will be. It’s been a month. No matter how long that man lives, he’s still just a mortal, and he can’t wait anyway. On the day that man dies, you open the lid and take out the soul balm bead, and she will naturally be gone.” Finished speaking , turned to leave, but bumped into Mu Yao who was entering the door.With a dark face, Mu Yao said extremely displeased, "Don't you have eyes?"

"I don't have eyes, take a good look." Yu Shuangshi pointed to his own eyes and said, "Isn't this right here?"

Mu Yao really took a look twice. At first glance, those eyes were no different from ordinary people's, but upon closer inspection, there was a tinge of purple in the eyeballs that were originally looking at black. It's normal to get involved.Mu Yao was stunned, stopped talking, and said forcefully, "I didn't see it."

"Obviously there is." Yu Shuangshi muttered, and left with a bewildered expression.Xue Yuyun asked Liu Shisan anxiously, "What do you mean by what you said just now? My sixth younger brother is not yet in his thirties, so how could he not live long?"

Liu Shisan slowly went downstairs, "Your sixth brother has no business in his eyes. His face is haggard, his body is emaciated, and he is coughing up blood. He was trying to bear it just now. He knows that his time is numbered, so even if Hui Xi lives, they can't." We're together, that's why he's so calm." After a pause, he continued, "Hui Xi has a deep obsession, I can't let it go, and I have to come back to see him no matter what. But he let it go, not because he doesn't love her anymore, It's just relieved that life and death are not the distance that can stop love. So when he saw Hui Xi again and lost Hui Xi again, he could accept it calmly." At the end, he added, "Your sixth brother, he , has long been free of worries, there is nothing in the world that can keep him, don't you know?"

Xue Yuyun was stunned, he had been watching outside the door, he couldn't figure out why Xue Yuxuan had such a reaction, now he finally understood, but he couldn't accept Liu Shisan's words.Although his relationship with Xue Yuxuan is not deep, but after all, they are brothers whose blood is thicker than water, how could he watch him die.

"Is there any help for him?"

Liu Shisan shook his head, "Heart disease, there is no law to cure it, he has to rely on himself, and it may be too late."

"It's too late, it's too late, how could it be too late? Didn't Huixi persist until the arrival of the sixth younger brother? Didn't Yu Shuangshi bring this small porcelain vase in time? I believe they will have a happy ending." Xue Yuyun finished angrily, Liu Shisan didn't speak, and after a long while, he asked unwillingly, "Can Huixi really come back? Sixth brother is really helpless?"

Liu Shisan looked at Xue Yuyun's crazy and unwilling look. He always worried about other people's affairs, as if it was his own. Liu Shisan shrugged and nodded, "Shuangshi Yu has already said that even if Xue Yuxuan can grow up With a life of a hundred years, it is impossible for Hui Xi's soul to be repaired within a hundred years. Even if it is repaired, it is only a wisp of soul, and Yu Shuangshi will still take her away. It is not impossible to restore the sun, it depends on the opportunity Now, Xue Yuxuan's life is not long, and there is no point in repairing Hui Xi's soul, and it doesn't make any sense to think about these messy things."
