's father died, and Li Yongdao thought that his stepmother would leave, but she didn't. stayed, the two hugged each other, and lay quietly all night.

The next morning, Li Yongdao opened his eyes, and his stepmother still held his head like this, burying his head in a piece of softness.

In this posture, he, like a child.

came back to his senses, Li Yongdao's face instantly turned red, and then quickly broke away from the arms of the stepmother, looking at the stepmother's smiling face, Li Yongdao grabbed Changge, bowed his head and rushed out.

Changge flies, light with joy.

A few days later, they left the mansion, disposed of their father's business, and returned to the small mansion that they had just bought when they came to Asaka.

The process of dealing with his father's business was not smooth, and his father's partners, whom Li Yongdao used to call his uncle, looked at this pair of orphans and widows, and showed a hideous smile on their faces. It's like a greedy hungry wolf, eager to rush up and take a bite.

By dealing with these businesses, my father accumulated more than half of his wealth. However, Li Yongdao doesn't care about these, and her stepmother doesn't care either, what she cares about is Li Yongdao.

She married into the Li family, definitely not for money, as outsiders speculated. She is actually because of love. Although for some reason, she fell in love with Lee Yong-dao's father, and for some reason, she stayed with Lee Yong-dao when she should have left.

The small house is covered with dust, rats and cockroaches.

This small mansion is definitely not as good as the big mansion, there is no backyard, there is no back garden, there are only a few rooms, just such a two-story building, just a small yard surrounded by a fence, and there is a well among the swallows.

However, it is enough for two people. And, just right.

Not too wide, not too narrow.

Li Yongdao originally wanted to take the master over, but unfortunately the master was too stubborn and never came, which was a little regretful.

After a busy day in this small house, I finally cleaned it up. This night, Li Yongdao slept very comfortably, he felt that his head was pillowing in a soft place, allowing himself to sleep and wake up naturally.

Then, with a rooster crow, he habitually touched his Changge.

He walked into the courtyard and waved his long go. Chang Ge became more and more smooth, and suddenly, he felt a trace of loneliness.

He still remembers that when he first practiced martial arts, he was accompanied by his master and father. Every morning, it was his father who woke him up and supervised him.

But now, every morning, he wakes up alone, habitually waving Changge.

He sighed, a red shadow out of the corner of his eye.

It was the stepmother, holding a long sword in her hand that she didn't know where to find it, and looking at him with a smile.

"Stepmother?" he exclaimed, his tone questioning.

The queen mother did not answer, but drew her sword, leaned forward, and instantly moved horizontally in front of him.

A sword, like a shooting star, passes through the vast night sky, beautiful and dazzling. When he came back to his senses because of the beauty of this sword, this sword had unconsciously arrived in front of him and was on his eyebrows. The tip of the sword dented the skin in the center of the eyebrows, but it was just right without puncturing.

Li Yongdao retreated in a panic, looked at his stepmother in disbelief, and looked at this mysterious woman.

He only knows that the stepmother is called Hongxing, and other than that, he doesn't know all the habits about the stepmother.

The life experience of the stepmother, why the stepmother has this martial arts, the stepmother is obviously so beautiful, why she has never heard of it before, how the stepmother met her father, why she fell in love with her father, and why she married him.

He doesn't know anything.

With confusion and excitement, Li Yongdao danced Changge.

The stepmother's swordsmanship was beyond his expectations. Compared with other swordsmanship, there is nothing special, it's just that it seems to be extraordinarily sophisticated, and each sword is just right, as if it has been tempered for a hundred years, it is so natural, and it doesn't seem like she can use it at her age at all.

Long soldiers against short soldiers, no matter how you look at it, they have the advantage. However, no matter how Li Yongdao wielded Changge, he was never able to chase the red shadow. However, the red shadow was far away and sometimes near, always standing in a place that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Changge, who was originally a tiger, was messy.

Obviously, she didn't show any speed beyond his ability, nor did she show any extraordinary strength, that is, she could play and press him.

The sky was white, and Li Yongdao stopped panting. Looking at the stepmother dressed in red, he had confusion in his eyes.

At night, he was haunted by it. Turning over and over, I should not have been able to sleep, but before I knew it, my eyelids drooped.

I felt like the back of my head was in a soft place. It was such comfort that made him feel like he had become a baby again, so innocent again, and simply happy because of it.

A few days later, one night, he suddenly woke up, hugged his stepmother who was hugging him, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Sure enough, it's really you." ”

He raised his head and looked at the silhouette of the stepmother's face looming in the darkness.

"Mother, can I ask you a question?"

"You ask. The stepmother did not panic because of his sudden awakening, but was very calm.

"I'm afraid you'll leave if I ask. ”

"Nope. Her hand gently stroked his head, a little itchy, but very comfortable, so comfortable that he couldn't help but squint, couldn't help rubbing, and then, he stiffened, and then heard the stepmother giggle.

He felt embarrassed, but wanted to do it again.

He heard the voice of the stepmother who couldn't help but smile: "You ask, no matter what, I won't leave, unless, you don't need me anymore." ”

He knew that his stepmother would not lie to him, so he believed it, so he asked, "Mother, who are you?"

"I, I!" The stepmother sighed with emotion: "I'm just a wandering ghost!"

"What?" Li Yongdao straightened up in disbelief, looked at his stepmother with an incredible face, and then asked, "Is it because the stepmother is alone that she calls herself like this?"

He tried his best to think about other places, for example, the stepmother was a chivalrous woman who roamed the rivers and lakes alone.

However, the queen mother shook her head: "No, it's just a wandering ghost, a wandering ghost that has been dead for hundreds of years." ”

"For hundreds of years, everything that should be done has been done, the revenge that should be avenged, and the grievances that should be settled have been settled. I'm tired of this kind of life, I don't have anything to worry about, I just want to marry an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and then leave this world. ”

Li Yongdao's throat was a little dry. He asked, "That is, a few days ago?"

"I should have vanished a few days ago, but ah, how can you reassure people, this kid. ”

As she spoke, her slender finger pointed at Li Yongdao's forehead.

It's strange to learn that the stepmother is a ghost, but Li Yongdao didn't have a trace of fear, on the contrary, his heart calmed down. At this moment, just one sentence echoed in his mind: Mother will not leave!
