Chapter Thirteen: Borrowing the Dead to Revive the Soul(1/2)
Su Jingnian was full of anger and mocked her and looked down at her.
Gu Yunniang wiped away the tears on her face, and she clearly didn't believe it.
It seems that she is still waiting for her to continue editing.
Gu Yunniang bit her lower lip. She wanted to confess as soon as possible, but she was worried that Su Jingnian would not believe her and regarded her as a monster. If she did nothing, it would be even harder to get close to him and might be fired. She said it was a dream. She learned all his preferences and saw if he believed in this mysterious thing. If he gave an answer, Gu Yunniang would throw away the matter of lent the corpse to resurrect the soul.
His sneered expression pierced Gu Yunniang's heart like a needle. She tightened her palms, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and wanted to say it out of no way.
"My preferences are not a secret. Anyone who is interested will know it when he checks it. I know my preferences in a dream?" Su Jingnian's mouth raised slightly, with evil spirits. Looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes, a layer of ice condensed in her eyes. "Why would you say it's... Yan'er asked you to dream, or to resurrect yourself by borrowing a corpse?"
Gu Yunniang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Su Jingnian in surprise.
Su Jingnian kept staring at Gu Yunniang, catching her reaction. Her surprise was clearly revealed on her face, and there was even a feeling that he had exposed the most secret thoughts. Her tears and eyes seemed to be suffering from great grievances. This was the expression Wen Quyan used to looking at him. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether she was Wen Quyan or Gu Yunniang.
At this moment, he even absurdly hoped that Wen Quyan would really resurrect the soul of her body and live with Gu Yunniang's body.
This thought flashed away. If there were such a bizarre thing, he should have come to him long ago. Instead of five years later, he came to this Lihua Village, and the woman came to him with this news.
He rubbed the swelling and painful forehead, but he was afraid that someone was interested and found Gu Yunniang deliberately approaching him.
These eyes are so similar. If you tell me the old stories of the two people and their hobbies, you can naturally stay with him as a substitute?
Su Jingnian's eyes became more and more gloomy, "If you are really, I will find a monk to save you."
Gu Yunniang opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Her face gradually paled with coughing and redness.
"I am really Wen Quyan, so you'll find someone to save me?" Gu Yunniang looked at him for a moment, pinching her palms tightly with her hands, and the voice of her speech was trembling. She was resurrected by a corpse, and this body was not hers, and to them, it was a lonely ghost, so would she be reborn? Her eyes were red. Before Su Jingnian opened her mouth, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes, and a ugly smile appeared on her face, "I... I lied to you. Before you came, I learned your identity from the patriarch and asked about your preferences, just to climb up the branches. You know that my husband died at a young age, and had not lived a good life. He lived a hard life with two children. You have noble status, come from the capital, have power and power, I... I don't have anything else, just this face is acceptable, I want to attract your attention and pull me out of the bitter water."
"If it's okay, I...I'll leave first." Gu Yunniang stood up holding the wall and staggered away, not daring to look at him again.
Su Jingnian looked at her almost fleeing figure and did not move for a long time.
He was talking about looking for a monk to save her. Her trembling expression seemed to be hit. The light in her eyes suddenly dimmed and she was despairing.
This is her subconscious reaction. It cannot be a show. If it is acting, wouldn’t it be too profound?
Su Jingnian couldn't help but think of the encounter that night. She said that the fireflies in autumn were not legends in the village. The information said that she was timid before and was often bullied by people at home. But since she fell down on the mountain, her whole temperament changed drastically, completely different from before. It was precisely because of this that her sister-in-law suspected that Gu Yunniang was leaned over by dirty things and threw a pot of blood, so she was peeked at by Yu Qinglin to take a bath and rescued by him.
That night, the love in her eyes was unconcealed.
And today her expression and change seemed to be trying hard to clear her face, as if she was afraid that he would really invite a monk to do it.
I admit that I am vain and want to fly to the branches, so I deliberately approach him.
There was no greed in her eyes.
Su Jingnian's hands in her sleeves were trembling slightly. Is there really such a bizarre thing in this world?
"Master!" Yun Mu hurried over and wanted to find Gu Yunniang to warn her. On the way, he met Gu Yunniang who was leaving crying. He hurried in and saw Su Jingnian standing in the room and pondering, his expression was changing, "Gu Yunniang offended you? I knew that this woman was not upright in her mind, otherwise she would have fired her? I would have hired someone again?"
Su Jingnian lowered his head and did not answer Yun Mu, but asked back: "Is there any matter in this world that resurrected the soul?"
She wanted to speak but stopped, her expression of tolerance and restraint, and her shattered beliefs alternated repeatedly in his mind.
Before this, he didn't believe that such bizarre things would happen, but Gu Yunniang's abnormal behavior had to shake him.
That sentence was just a warning to Gu Yunniang.
If it was really Yan'er... he didn't have time to protect him, how could he bear it?
"Master, aren't you saying that you don't say anything about strange powers? How could you ask about such a ridiculous thing today?" Yun Mu, like Su Jingnian, is both atheist.
Is it ridiculous?
Su Jingnian hopes that this absurdity will come true.
"There is a Taoist monk in Huangjue Temple?"
Yun Mu's eyes were about to pop out when he heard Su Jingnian ask this, but he still told him the news from Huangjue Temple, "This old bald donkey is now 110 years old. It is said that the Taoist Dharma is profound, and many people tell fortunes about him, but he only counts for those who are destined to do. Even so, the incense in Huangjue Temple is still in its prime. But he is now in seclusion and is about to pass away."
Su Jingnian was silent for a while. After he walked to the desk, he opened the drawer, took out a small box, and took out Wen Quyan's birth date and horoscope from it. He paused his fingers, and then pulled out Gu Yunniang's birth date and horoscope from the stack of materials, folded them together and handed them to Yun Mu.
"You go there in person, no matter what, please ask him to come out of seclusion and calculate." Su Jingnian paused for a moment, his eyes fell in a low voice: "Ask him on my behalf, there is a matter of resurrecting the soul in this world."
Yun Mu almost knelt for Su Jingnian, and two question marks appeared on his head. Was his master stimulated by Gu Yunniang? Is his mind abnormal?
Do you actually suspect that the wife is resurrected in Gu Yunniang?
That woman full of lies?
Besides... how dare the lady be as brave as her?
He swallowed, and said with a stern tongue, "Master, I know that you are thinking about your wife. People cannot be resurrected. Besides, these have been several years. There are such bizarre things, and... they should have come back long ago."
Su Jingnian said quietly: "You also say it is a bizarre thing, so how can you infer according to common sense?"
Yun Mu felt that he was still the master's devil.
He wanted to persuade him again, touched Su Jingnian's dark eyes and muttered, "I will go tomorrow morning."
OK, if you want to find a monk, just look for a monk!
I cut off Su Jingnian's idea earlier!
“Let’s leave now.”
“…”
Yun Mu put away Wen Quyan's birth date and ate their horoscopes, worked hard and took out a horse from the horse circle, and left immediately.
Chi Xi went into the room to clean up the leftovers on the table. He looked up and saw Su Jingnian looking at Wen Quyan's portrait, pursed the corners of his lips, and lowered his eyes to clean up the tableware.
——
Gu Yunniang ran out of the main courtyard, and the bleak autumn wind blew on her body, making her whole body feel cold.
All the dreams she fantasized about were broken at this moment.
Resting against the cold wall and covering his eyes with his hands, Gu Yunniang gradually calmed down.
Touching her face, she is now a human being. As long as she doesn't say anything, even if she invites a monk to do it, can she still see through her?
Recalling the previous conversation with Su Jingnian, Gu Yunniang touched her painful neck and thought about the benefits. Maybe he didn't believe that he was Wen Quyan, so he deliberately said that to warn her?
Gu Yunniang squatted on the ground depressedly. No matter whether it was or not, she could no longer advance. She would stop moving first and wait and see what happened.
This life is too precious and she can no longer do anything.
Anyway, in front of him, she described herself as a greedy and vain woman, so she would use this identity to approach him temporarily.
She smiled bitterly, maybe she would not be able to enter the Su Mansion after today.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Yu Duowei walked over and saw Gu Yunniang squatting in the corner of the wall, staring at her red eyes, rubbing the back of her hand with tears in the corner of her eyes, "Mom, are they bullying you?"
Gu Yunniang hugged Yu Duowei, "Mom may be fired by the noble man."
Yu Duowei imitated Gu Yunniang to comfort him and gently patted her back, "It doesn't matter, I can go to herd cattle for the rich man."
Gu Yunniang's eyes were soft, and the depression in her heart dissipated. She kissed him on the face, "That won't be." She took Yu Duowei's hand to the kitchen. She brought out the cooked fish head soup and scooped a bowl to feed him. While asking, "Mom, find you a father, what do you think of Duowei?"
Before Yu Duowei swallowed the fish soup, he suddenly heard Gu Yunniang's words and coughed violently. A layer of mist appeared in his black eyes. He bit his lip gently, lowered his head without opening.
Gu Yunniang looked at Yu Duowei with a depressed expression and said softly: "Mom won't leave you."
Yu Duowei raised her head and said seriously: "Milk will not agree."
Gu Yunniang smiled and said, "Just agree."
Yu Duowei remained silent and drank the fish soup that Gu Yunniang fed him with sips. The delicious and sweet taste was tasteless.
He is not Gu Yunniang's own son, but strictly speaking he is just a nephew.
Although she would not leave him alone, it would be difficult for a widow to remarry, and she would carry two more burdens. Will her future guild agree? Even if she agrees, she will look down on her? Will she treat him well after she has her own child?
Yu Duowei was very scared. Is the warmth he finally got from Gu Yunniang about to disappear?
After drinking a bowl of fish soup silently, Yu Duowei looked at the gentle smile on Gu Yunniang's face, and his slightly red eyes were filled with love for him.
"Mom likes it, and Duowei will like it."
Gu Yunniang understood what he meant. As long as the man she liked, he would like it and accept it.
"Then what do you think of this noble person?" Gu Yunniang did not hide Yu Duowei. This child was very precocious and sensible.
Yu Duowei blinked, and was speechless.
"Mom likes this noble man very much. I have liked him for a long time." Gu Yunniang looked at Yu Duowei who was stunned and knew that he was thinking too much, "It's not because of his identity."
Yu Duowei didn't know how long it took for her to speak, and said, "Mom, I want another bowl."
How could he not like his mother?
Anyway, if it is his stepfather, he will eat more first, preferably by eating poorly. In this way, if his mother marrys him, he will spend money and will not be bad to his mother.
Yu Duowei, who had ambitions, ate three bowls of fish soup, looked at his round belly, and then looked at the chicken, duck, fish and meat piled in the kitchen. He looked dejected and sighed heavily.
He is not poor enough to eat.
Gu Yunniang looked at her fighting spirit, like Yu Duowei, who suddenly became depressed and sighed.
“Isn’t it delicious?”
Yu Duowei looked at Gu Yunniang carefully, raised her hand and swept her head gently, "Mom, don't be afraid, stepfather is not good to you, I will help you!"
