Renew

As night fell, colorful lights hung high on the street, and there was still a lot of noise everywhere, as lively as in the daytime, shouting one after another, and the vendors seemed tireless.

The high tower of the restaurant is full of lanterns, looking around, it looks like the Milky Way falling into the mortal dust, scattering the starlight everywhere.

It was only then that Rongli realized that Danxuan was really not the son of the master and wife of the Shan family. This time he felt disturbed, but this time he felt that he couldn't stay any longer.No wonder Danxuan went to Qi'an with Rong Changting back then, presumably... probably to repay the kindness of Shan's family.

Lin Que was getting old, so he had to squint his eyes slightly to see Rongli's face clearly. Under the misty colored lights, Rongli lowered his eyes, his pupils were dim, and the mole under his eyes was inexplicably like a tear, so pitiful.

Before Rong Li could speak, he felt that Lin Que squeezed her hand a little tighter.

Lin Que frowned at her, and patted the back of her hand twice, "Although Shandong and I picked Danxuan up from the mountain, there is a word of fate in everything. Since we brought her back to Shan's house, we He Shandong regards her as his own daughter, originally... he didn't want her to go to Qi'an because of the Shan family's grievances, but when she left, she never complained."

Rong Li's breath fluttered, and he asked in a low voice: "Grandma, do you still remember where you picked up my mother?"

Lin Que paused, looked towards a certain place, squinted his eyes, "Out of the north gate of the imperial city, there is a dog mountain about three miles away. The mountain is not high, and there is an empty temple on the mountainside, which has been empty for decades. Yes, your grandpa and I are Danxuan we picked up in the temple. There was a funeral that day, and when we were about to go down the mountain, it suddenly rained. Your grandpa and I went into the temple to hide from the rain. We happened to hear the baby crying. I don’t know whose family’s child was thrown on the mountain.”

She paused, a little hesitant, "I shouldn't have brought it back, after all, that place is a bit unlucky."

Surprised, Rong Li immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Que sighed softly, "The temple is empty, and the mountain is a cemetery, so people often park coffins in the temple, and some coffins are not carried away once they are released. Next to a coffin."

It's fine to abandon the child on the mountain, and it's somewhat weird to put it beside the coffin.

Lin Que squeezed Rongli's hand, "That little girl was crying so badly, your grandfather and I couldn't pretend not to hear it. When we first heard the cry, we were shocked, after all, there are so many black lights on the mountain. The crying sound was frightening, but if you listen carefully...it doesn't look like some ghost, so I took a closer look and saw a baby who was probably just born."

She thought about it carefully, and said: "Wrapped in a dark red swaddle, my face was wrinkled and red from crying, and I couldn't tell whether it was good-looking or not. I was soft-hearted for a while, so I hugged and coaxed her for a while. It rained all night , I hugged her all night, and then I realized that the child kept crying, probably because she was hungry."

Rong Li listened quietly.

Hua Su said lightly: "If it is a mortal fetus, I am afraid that I will starve to death."

Rong stretched his hand back without any trace, and grabbed the corner of Hua Su's black silk.

Lin Que said again: "I can't leave her on the mountain. Your grandfather and I carried her back. Before we left, we bravely pushed aside the coffin beside it. It was actually empty inside. Now that I think about it, I still feel that the coffin is empty." It's weird, if someone doesn't carry the coffin over there when they are buried, there is no reason to put the coffin in the temple, carry the corpse and abandon the baby."

"It shouldn't be that something in the coffin suddenly cheated the corpse, scaring people away, throwing it away in such a hurry, that even the baby was forgotten." Hua Su said suddenly.

Her black robe was pulled tightly, and she looked down to see Rongli clutching the black silk in his hand, with a sullen face, and said: "I don't say anything."

Rong Li gave her a dark look, and said in a low voice: "Mother came to Shan's house like this."

Lin Que narrowed his gaze, and pulled her away from passers-by, "Dan Xuanxu was abandoned on the mountain because of her poor health. I still don't know who abandoned her, but she was too cruel."

Rong Li was silent for a while, then weighed his mouth and said, "What was that mother like when she was young? When I was in the Rong family, I rarely heard about her from other people."

As soon as Lin Que heard the word "Rong's family", she immediately became unhappy again, but her expression was still calm, "When she was young, she was not very talkative, but she was very sensible. I was embroidered by needles during the day I stabbed my hands, and tried to finish the embroidery by candlelight at night, but I couldn’t find it anywhere, and then I found out that the girl secretly took it and continued to embroider it, and the embroidery still looks good.”

This kind of thing is rather strange, when he was in the Rong Mansion, what Rongli heard at most was that the eldest lady is weak, the eldest lady is gentle, the eldest lady rarely shows up, the eldest lady and the master are like glue... and so on.

"Mountain spirit?" Hua Su frowned.

Rong Li glanced at her secretly, puzzled.

Hua Suwu said to himself: "The appearance of the mountain spirit is no different from that of a human being, but its mind is very mature. It's just that things like mountain spirits are always fragile, and their cultivation level is not very high. If they only have a half-soul, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. After a while he died."

When the word "death" was uttered from her mouth, it seemed to be something ordinary, like the changing seasons in the mortal world, the setting sun and the moon rising.

"That's not a mountain spirit." Hua Su said to himself.

Rong Li said in a low voice: "I've never seen Mother embroider."

Lin Que was speechless for a moment, and took her hand to walk into the crowd. She walked slowly, but with considerable strength, she held Rongli's hand tightly.

Rong Li was being dragged, and hurriedly turned his head, fearing that Hua Su would be squeezed away, but after thinking about it, how could this ghost be squeezed away.

Sure enough, those shoulder-to-shoulder pedestrians just passed through Hua Su's body without raising their heads. At most, they gathered up their skirts and shivered a bit due to the sudden cold.

Hua Su was wearing a black robe that dragged the floor, her braids were loose behind her back, her expression was calm and distant, and she didn't fit in with the noisy streets.Sensing Rongli's turning back, she glanced at her long and narrow phoenix eyes, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, and you won't be afraid of bumping into someone."

Only then did Rong Li turn his head, and was dragged away by Lin Que obediently.

Lin Que walked for a long time, then squeezed out a smile and said, "Look at what's worth seeing in this street market. I think you didn't lack for everything when you were in Qi'an, but Qi'an is different from the imperial city after all. , there are some in the imperial city, but Qi An may not have them."

Rong Li looked left and right, wanting to take a look at everything, but felt tired and not very interested.She thought about it, and whispered: "When mother was still in Qi'an, did grandma take her to the street so often?"

Lin Que paused and sighed softly, "She has been very calm since she was a child. I often take her to the street, but she doesn't seem to be interested in anything. Later, when she grew up, she became more My son likes it, and it’s no longer like always being silent when I was young.”

Hua Su walked through the passers-by without changing his expression, his unwavering gaze was somewhat arrogant, but it was not considered domineering.She passed through those passers-by regardless, without crutches on her toes, and said indifferently: "It sounds interesting."

Rong Li's eyelashes twitched, his eyes sparkled with the colorful lights.

Hua Su calmly said: "Entering reincarnation, reincarnated into mortal womb, some people can remember the events of the previous life when they were born, but as they get older, the events of the past become increasingly blurred, and they gradually lose their memory. It's no different from ordinary people."

Rong Li nodded slightly, and said to Lin Que: "It's better to be lively, at least it won't look so sick."

Lin Que forced a smile, "Isn't that right? In the past, your grandpa and I hoped that she would talk more. Girls from other people's families would never leave the house, but your grandpa and I hoped that she would talk more on weekdays. Go out for a walk, just stand in the yard and see the light."

Rong Li was a little tired from walking, and he was breathing heavily, "Mother was always in the house when she was in Shan Mansion."

"She doesn't like to go out, and I don't know if it's because she's too weak or something. After standing in the sun for a long time on weekdays, she always complains that her body hurts." Lin Que shook her head, "As if she was tempted, she frowned, Your grandfather and I can't bear to embarrass her."

Hua Su snorted beside him, "Like you."

Rong Li stared at her, she didn't know how she looked like her, she had never lost her temper.

Lin Que sighed and said: "Although she is not in good health, she has always been very stubborn. She will never act coquettishly and submissively. If she is not happy, she is not happy."

Hua Su said to herself again: "It's not like you to say that." Even if no one responded, she was still able to talk to herself with a cold face and never tire of it. Although she didn't say much, she wanted to say it.

Rongli snorted softly in his heart, normally he didn't dare to disobey this ancestor, but he was quite picky in his heart.

Lin Que turned around, "What else do you want to hear, if grandma remembers, I will tell you all about it."

Rong Li was stunned for a moment, wondering if Lin Que's gaze was too eager, she was a little at a loss.This eagerness is completely different from when Rong Changting regarded her as Danxuan. Lin Que's eagerness reveals sincerity and sincerity, as if he regards her as a treasure.

Xu Shi was rarely cherished by others, she felt for a moment that she shouldn't be digging words out of Lin Que's mouth by beating around the bush.

Hua Su could pass through thousands of mortals, but he put his hand on Rongli's shoulder.Her expression was cold, and she looked sideways, seemingly reluctantly, "Why, do you feel distressed?"

Rong Li coughed a few times, wanting to just expose the matter.

Lin Que pulled her along with the crowd, pointed to the towering city wall in the distance and said: "That is the imperial palace. It looks close, but it is still far away. I turned back today. After walking for so long, you should Tired."

Rong Li nodded, she was indeed tired, but it was worth it tonight, at least she learned something.

Hua Su let go of the hand on Rongli's shoulder, turned around and walked along the way, her silver and black braids swaying slightly.As soon as she turned around, her footsteps suddenly faltered, she squinted her eyes and looked deep into an alleyway, her expression cold and stern.

Her expression changed too quickly, Rong Li was stunned for a moment, and then stopped, almost stepping on the ghost's robe dragging on the ground.

Rong Li followed her gaze, and there was only a red lantern swaying in the alley, and he couldn't even see a ghost.

The tassels under the lantern were blown by the wind, and the swing was a little strange.

Obviously the lantern is swaying slowly, but the tassels underneath are spinning rapidly, as if being fiddled with by something.

Rongli's breath stagnated, he shook out the painting ghost, and held it tightly in his hand.

Seeing her suddenly stop, Lin Que asked in confusion, "What's the matter, is your leg hurting?"

Rong Li shook his head, pretending to look away casually, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a ghostly aura wrapped around the tassels of the lantern.

It was so thin that she didn't notice it for a while.

Hua Su stared at it for a while, then walked away silently.

Rong Li went back to the Shan Mansion anxiously, holding his breath for a long time along the way, almost burning his lungs, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Que sent her into the yard before turning his head reluctantly. Before leaving, he held her hand and said, "Relax well, don't worry about other things."

After entering the courtyard, the three maids were standing on the hall like wandering souls, and they all looked towards the courtyard gate, their eyes fixed.

Rong Li was taken aback for a moment, and said dully: "Why are you all here?"

Xiaofu complained: "The girl hasn't come back, how can we rest."

Rong Li smiled, "You can go inside and wait, why bother guarding the door here, aren't you tired enough these few days?"

"Let's worry about the girl's success." Xiao Fu stomped her feet, although there were no outsiders in the yard, she was still cautious, and she didn't dare to turn her eyes away.

Rong Li chuckled lightly, her eyes paused for a moment on Bai Liu, she thought this girl was bold before, but now she realized that she was pretending to be brave.

Bai Liu was trembling all over, but she wanted to stand upright, her body straightened, but her face was extremely stiff.

Rong Li blinked, but couldn't stand anymore, so he sat down on the stone bench, took a breath, and said, "What's the matter?" She kept looking at Bai Liu when she spoke, obviously seeing something wrong.

Hua Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked towards the shivering girl, and when he raised his hand, a wisp of black mist rose from Bai Liu's shoulder.

It's ghostly.

Seeing the ghostly anger, Rong Li felt something was wrong, looked at Bai Liu and said, "Say it."

Bai Liu cried, "Did the ghosts in Rong's mansion follow us to the imperial city? Did we owe them something in our previous life? Girl, what do you think of this ghost?" Come on, what do you want?"

Hua Su flipped his palms, his red lips opened, and the hand that was holding the ghostly air was released, and a puff of air came out of his lips.

In just a moment, the ghostly aura that was as light as a feather was blown away.

Rong Li frowned, "Where did you bump into it, did you misread it?"

Bai Liu pointed back, pointing to the side room where the servants lived, "When I was taking a nap just now, something was pulling my hair."

Xiaofu hurriedly waved her hands: "It's not me."

Hua Su twirled his fingers, as if his hands were stained with dust, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's just that something followed."

The "thing" in the mouth of the ghost, Rongli knows what it is without thinking too much.

What else but ghosts.

Rong Li pretended to be calm and turned his head to the side, and gave Kong Qing a neutral look.

Kong Qing suddenly understood, and said softly: "I shouldn't have played tricks on you."

For a moment, Xiaofu and Bai Liu were completely confused.

Kong Qing doesn't look like she can play tricks, but she said it very seriously, "So many things happened in Rong's house before, and you were often surprised when you were on the road, so how can you serve the girl well?" , I want to see if it can give you courage."

Bai Liu raised his voice and said, "Is courage so strong!"

Rong Li stood up and said softly, "I'm tired from walking just now, I'll go back to the room to have a rest."

Kong Qing lowered her eyes and leaned over, Bai Liu was still staring at her, her teeth chattering.

After entering the room, Rongli carefully closed the door, turned to look at Hua Su's fingertips, "Is that really ghostly?"

Hua Su raised his hand, his fingertips were clean, "Not bad."

Rong Li frowned, "Didn't you say that little ghosts won't enter the imperial city, why do you still have a ghostly aura?"

Thinking of the lantern tassels swaying fast in the alley, she said again: "When you were on the street, you looked into the alley for a while, but did you see something?"

After all, she is still a living person, even though she is used to running into ghosts now, she still has a bit of taboo on the word "ghost". The word has obviously reached the bottom of her tongue, but when she said it, she couldn't help changing it.

Hua Su turned his clean hands over and over for a while, his five fingers were slightly open, and his fingers were long and straight, "It's not a brat, he seems to have come here specially."

Rong Li went to the table and lit the lamp, the flame was thin and weak, only illuminating the corner of the table, she raised her hand to protect the edge of the flame, "He doesn't seem to want to avoid you, otherwise there is no need to provoke Bai Liu, I just want you to know that he is nearby."

Hua Su's face was indifferent, and he sat down at the table with his black robe in his hand, bent his fingers and tapped a few times slowly.

"Could it be your old department?" Rong Li blinked.

Hua Su didn't speak, as if he didn't expect his subordinates to find him.

Rong Li thought for a moment, "Could it be that bone owl?"

"It's not him." Hua Su objected calmly, "Since he is not in a hurry to show up, he probably has other plans."

Rong Li was stunned, and asked in a low voice: "Then leave him alone? But if he is a ghost on Luo Xia's side, what should we do?"

"How can those who follow Luo Xia hold their temper?" Hua Su snorted contemptuously.

Rong Li had no choice but to give up, and poured a cup of weak tea to moisten his throat, "Then why don't you go to Mount Quan'er tomorrow?"

Hua Su's lips curled into a smile, "You are more anxious than me."

Rong Li didn't say a word, his eyes reflected the flickering fire, clear and translucent.She knew that Hua Su was deeply concerned about Hua Sui's bond with her, and it just so happened that she also wanted to understand that she couldn't live this life again in vain.

The next day, the first person to knock on the door was not Xiao Fu, nor Bai Liu and Kong Qing, but Dan Liushuang, the daughter of the Shan family.

The little girl knocked on the door, her whole body was almost pressed against the door, she stared helplessly, and whispered: "Sister, cousin."

This sound is like calling a soul.

When she knocked on the head, Rongli woke up, lying on the bed with his eyes open, looking at the curtain, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.Although she slept lightly, she would be dazed for a while when she woke up, and it took a long time for her to clear her mind.

Hua Su was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a cold face, not anxious, but dissatisfied, "Just to please the little girl like this?"

Rong Li didn't say a word, he looked down at the brocade quilt covering his body, he looked like he was out of his body, his whole body was weak, even his eyes were soft, his cheeks were pale and bloodless.

Hua Su counted on her thin white fingers, her raised eyes were somewhat charming, but because of her cold face, there was not even a little bit of charm on her body, which only made people afraid of her.She looked disgusted, "It's okay to have three girls by my side, and I even drew a little girl's skin for the Skinner, and now you have provoked another one, you don't mind it."

Rong Li lifted his eyelids, and only then came to his senses.Before she could speak, she saw Hua Su put a finger under her lips, as if trying to tear the corners of her mouth open.

The fingers were chilly, as if they were catching a cold.

Hua Su pulled his index finger down, "Should I say yes, do you want me to speak for you?"

Rong Li had no choice but to open his mouth, and raised his voice, "Here."

Unexpectedly, Dan Liushuang became even more excited when she heard her answer, "Can I go in, Mr. is on leave today, so he doesn't have to go to school."

Hua Su leaned over and looked directly into Rong Li's sleepy eyes, "What did you say last night?"

Rong Li thought about it carefully, what exactly did she say to this ghost last night.

Hua Su withdrew her hand, and straightened her waist, very dignified, "Since you are going to Gou'er Mountain, then don't get entangled with this girl, making noise in front of other people's houses, it's not easy to worry about at first glance. .”

Hua Su: I'm so bored!
