Chapter 771: Curse
"Why...... Why do you say that I brought disaster to the clan......"
The woman squatted on the edge of the pool, her voice sounding sad and mournful, and her crying was intermittent, and the tears fell to the water, rippling round and round. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, he had only seen Ji Ruoli and Ji Yexue during the day, who was this woman at this moment?
The woman in white by the pond immediately noticed that someone was there, and got up and looked at the big locust tree: "Who?"
Xiao Chen was exposed, and had to go out, and after seeing her appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, how could her face be so pale, and said: "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person." ”
The woman was shocked at first when she saw that there had always been someone behind the tree, but after seeing Xiao Chen's appearance clearly, she saw that his face did not look like a villain, so she calmed down a little.
But there was no one here, and she was still a little uneasy, and asked cautiously, "You...... Who are you?"
There was still a little choked in his voice, which couldn't help but make people feel a little distressed when he heard it, Xiao Chen arched his hand and said: "My surname is Xiao, and my single name is a dust word." ”
Xiao ...... Chen, are you the one Grandpa invited by Daytime?" the woman looked at him, and at this time she had relaxed her vigilance a little.
Xiao Chen nodded and smiled: "En." ”
At this moment, the woman's eyes are still flashing with tears, and there are still a few crystal clear tears hanging on her long eyelashes.
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and said softly: "It's late at night, why is the girl crying here alone to complain about sad things?"
The woman turned to look at the secluded pool, sniffed, and said softly: "You won't understand ...... if you say it."
There was a bit of sadness in his voice, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, he had seen many women, but he had never seen such a pitiful woman, this woman had a feeling that he couldn't tell, different from ordinary people.
"I'm sorry, it's abrupt, I haven't asked the girl's name yet. Xiao Chen looked at her weak back and said softly.
"My name is Mercy. The woman said softly, and slowly squatted down as she spoke, quietly looking at a few aquatic plants by the pool.
"Pity ......" Xiao Chen called this name softly in his heart, as if this name alone taught people to can't help but feel pity.
Sighing lightly in her heart, Xiao Chen followed her line of sight, and saw a few small insects with white wings lying on a few aquatic plants at the edge of the pool, these are mayflies, born at this time, they will die at dusk, and their lives are only a short day.
At this time, I suddenly heard Ji Lianyi say faintly: "The feather of the mayfly, the clothes are beautiful, the mayfly digs and reads, and the linen clothes are like snow......"
The voice was sad and tactful, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a sigh in her heart, why, why she was sad for these little insects who died in the twilight of life.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, if people can't become immortals, in this world, after all, it will only be a hundred years, what is the difference between them and these mayflies who die in the twilight of life?
Everyone in the world wants to live forever, and the so-called immortality is actually watching the people around him die one by one, and who is left after his best friend who lived and died back then......
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be infected by sadness, sat down next to Ji Lianyi gently, and asked softly, "Is the girl okay?"
Ji Lianyi raised her head, her beautiful eyes were still full of tears, she shook her head, leaned to the side, frowned slightly, and said, "I will only bring disaster to the people around me, you ...... Don't get too close to me......" The further back, the lower the voice, and at the end, with his head down, his voice like a mosquito.
Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, and at this moment seemed to be able to feel that there was another kind of loneliness in the world, not the vicissitudes of life, but the woman in front of her.
The breeze came slowly, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, Xiao Chen got up and said, "It's cold in the middle of the night, I'll send the girl back." ”
Ji Lianyi stood up, shook her head and said, "No...... No need to ......" said that the road went back and forth, walked three or five feet away, and turned back: "You...... You don't tell people we've seen. After saying that, he walked away with his head down.
Xiao Chen quietly looked at her figure that was fading away in the moonlight, sighed, looked at the waterhole, and said softly: "Mayfly wings, pick clothes." The worries of my heart will be relieved ...... me."
After a while, Xiao Chen raised his head again and looked in the direction of the back mountain, where the formation fluctuations were still there, but this fluctuation was very abnormal, some of them were not clear, as if it was an empty array, an empty array that had lost its array spirit, and there was another strange aura, if there was nothing.
At this moment, his eyebrows were slightly locked, what secrets is hidden in this Ji family......
The moon fell and the stars sank, he didn't go to the back mountain, and when he returned to the other courtyard, he still remembered the pitiful appearance of Ji Lianyi just now, and for a while, he couldn't get rid of it, and he didn't know why, as if this Ji Lianyi also gave him a very strange feeling.
The next day, Xiao Chen still went to the secret room to discuss countermeasures with the elders, and only returned to the other courtyard at dusk.
"Please give me another year, Yiyi is just sick, and it will never affect the clansmen......"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, his tone was sad, Xiao Chen stopped, this voice he recognized, it was the owner of the Buried Sword Villa, that is, Ji Chunqiu's youngest son Ji Wuregret, as the owner of the village, but at this time, it seemed to have a pleading tone.
Then I only heard an old man say coldly: "Ji has no regrets, as the owner of the village, you should know better than anyone else in your heart, she is not suffering from any strange disease, on the fifteenth day of next month, if you don't send her away before the night of the full moon, my Ji family will inevitably be wiped out this time, and the two-thousand-year-old inheritance cannot be destroyed in your hands!"
"No, no, Yiyi has just been in bad health since she was a child, there is nothing wrong with her, besides, this time the head of the family invited the city lord of Fengyun Fudo City, and he will definitely help my Ji family to save the day......" Ji Wuregret had a sad look on his face, and when he said it, he didn't know how to continue.
An old man in a red robe flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Hmph! The city lord of Fengyun Immovable City! Could it be that he is a god who has descended to earth! I have not seen him have three heads and six arms......
"Everyone, what are you talking about?" Before the old man could finish speaking, Xiao Chen had already appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Several people in the courtyard were stunned, Xiao Chen heard everything outside, and suddenly remembered what happened in the Xiao family many years ago, when he couldn't practice martial arts, and several elders wanted to expel him, Xiao Yifan begged with those elders.
"Master Ji Zhuang. Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and walked towards Ji Wuregret.
Ji Wuregret bowed his hand slightly: "City Lord Xiao, you are here." ”
Xiao Chen bowed his head slightly, looked at a few elders, and the red-robed elder from before said coldly: "City Lord Xiao, this is our Ji family's family matter, and I hope you don't want to ......" Before he finished speaking, another blue-robed old man next to him pulled his sleeve, signaling not to offend the people invited by the head of the family.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, looked at a small carved pavilion in the distance, only to hear that there seemed to be a thin cry coming from inside, Xiao Chen retracted his gaze, looked at a few elders, and said lightly: "I just heard a few people say that Miss Ji has a strange disease, Xiao is not talented, and she just knows a little about medicine, I don't know if I can let Xiao see it?"
As soon as Ji Wuregret heard this, his spirits immediately perked up: "What City Lord Xiao said is true?"
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to reply, the old man in the green robe said: "Don't hide it from the city lord Xiao, Ji Lianyi is not sick, but ......" Speaking of this, his face showed a sad color, and he didn't continue to talk anymore.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "And what?"
"It's a curse!" the red-robed old man next to him said coldly.
Xiao Chen smiled, disapproving, and looked at Ji Wuregret: "Can the owner of Ji Zhuang let Xiao take a look at Ling Qianjin?"
Ji Wuregret was stunned for a moment, and then immediately made a gesture of please: "Okay! Okay! City Lord Xiao is here, please!" Now that he is almost sick and urgently going to the hospital, he doesn't care whether Xiao Chen really has the ability or not, just please.
Xiao Chen was about to take a step, and the old man in the green robe behind him stretched out his hand and said: "City Lord Xiao, slow down! What we just said is definitely not made up out of thin air, the people who have come into contact with Ji Lianyi over the years have all died, this is by no means alarmist, City Lord Xiao, I hope you will listen to my advice, you are the person invited by the head of the family, you can't have anything to do......"
The implication is that Xiao Chen still needs to help the Ji family deal with strong enemies next, and there can be no chaos at this time.
After Ji Wuregret heard this, he also became a little hesitant at this moment, Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "Some people say that I was born to commit a crime, and I am destined to betray my father and mother, and the ending is destined to betray my relatives. ”
The people behind him were stunned when they saw him, and after he left, the old man in the red robe said coldly: "The young man doesn't know the height of the sky, and he is not afraid of the sky, so let him go!"
The old man in the green robe frowned, shook his head and said: "This matter is not good, it is better to inform the family master as soon as possible, he wants to help my Ji family resist the enemy, and nothing can go wrong at this time." ”
......
Xiao Chen walked to the small attic with Ji Wuregret and asked, "Can you ask the owner of Ji Zhuang to tell me in detail about the daughter?"
Ji Wuregret had a sad look on his face, and sighed: "Lianyi has been terminally ill since childhood, and in the early years I searched for medical treatment everywhere to no avail, and then I learned that ......"
"What do you know?" Xiao Chen stopped, flicked his hand, and laid a soundproof barrier around the small attic, and asked Ji Wuregret solemnly.
Ji Wuregret closed his eyes, with a painful expression on his face, took a deep breath, and said: "Listening to the elders, it is a family curse, I specially went to the family tree, and found that since three hundred years ago, in each generation of the Ji family, there will be a daughter who will not live to be twenty years old, and when I come to Yiyi, I have even been in contact with her, whether it is a human or a cat, dog or small animal, I will die inexplicably in a short time, and none of them can escape......"
Speaking of this, Ji Wuregret opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Chen, and said with a sad face: "Then Xiao City Lord, you see ......"
"It doesn't matter. Xiao Chen raised his hand, looked at the quiet little attic, and said slowly: "Xiao Mou said, my life is very hard, and the curse of love may not be able to curse me." ”
At the end of the words, I saw that his eyes became a little sharper, and with a flick of his hand, he removed the enchantment, thinking that this Ji family was not ordinary, and he may not have told him all the things, speaking of which, it seems that he has not seen Xiaoyue in the past two days.
