Chapter 32 Old Dreams(2/4)
She took out a jade pendant from her arms, and several weeping willows were carved on it, with a brilliant artistic conception.
When Xie Bin saw this jade pendant, his expression suddenly tightened and he snatched it: "This is, this is... Liu'er's jade pendant! How did he get it?"
"She is in Ruyi Sect, but I don't know which one is her. Only the wife knows. She gave me the jade pendant and told me that I could pretend to be her."
"She is still alive?"
"I have no idea."
Xie Bin held the jade pendant and stood there, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
"Do you want to find her?"
Xie Bin looked up, his eyes as sharp as lightning, as if he would pounce at her at any time.
"My goal is Mrs. Ruyi. I have taken ninety steps, just a few steps away. So, I need your help."
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Give me the recipe of the scattered body and promise not to cause trouble for blue and white. In this way, after I finish Mrs. Ruyi, if Xie Liu is still alive, I will give her to you. If she dies, I will give you her body."
Xie Bin stared at her for a long time and suddenly laughed: "I'm a fool?"
"How can a person who can extract ingredient from ordinary ores be a fool?"
"So, why do you think I will trust you? And why do you think I will exchange the formula for a daughter who is ignorant of life or death?"
"I'm here. This is my first mission, and the lady will be a little tolerant of me."
"so?"
"I have five years to let you think slowly. During this period, if you suspend harassment of blue and white porcelain, you and the Xie family will be safe and sound. Five years later, if you think it through, give me the recipe for purifying."
Xie Bin stared at her for a long time, without saying agreeing, nor did he say he would not agree.
After three days like this, Pin Congmu appeared and gave her ten people. She led these ten people to open the door of Xie Bin Workshop. When he saw these ten people, his expression changed suddenly.
"You want to tell Mrs. Ruyi through them and reveal that I have a strange intention to her." She smiled at him, and the ten people were no longer kneeling but could not get up and tremble all over.
They are all blue and white people. Xie Bin has always been incompatible with blue and white people, but after dealing with her for a long time, he also met several people in the organization. The day after her fake Xie Liu appeared, he went to buy blue and white people and recommended them layer by layer, wanting to report her.
His purpose is very simple - I don't trust you. So, it would be best if you can exchange your daughter's whereabouts. If not, betrayed a disciple of Ruyi Sect is nothing.
Unfortunately, the entire blue and white porcelain was under the control of the purpose, so these ten people were caught as soon as they were bribed.
She stared at Xie Bin, who was so cold-faced, and smiled: "I brought them here to tell you that this trick is useless. I am better than you imagined in Ruyi Sect. If there is someone in this world who can deal with Mrs. Ruyi, it will be me, not you, not anyone else. If anyone in this world can find Xie Liu, it will be me."
Xie Bin was silent, and he could only remain silent.
He tacitly agreed to her proposal and allowed her to move into the Xie family as Xie Liu.
She knew that he had not given up and continued to search for Xie Liu, and she also knew that he could not find anything. Before Xie Liu disappeared, Yu Pinmu joined the Ruyi Sect, so her file was in the Four Kingdoms Genealogy. Only Mrs. Ruyi knew the whereabouts of the Four Kingdoms Genealogy.
In four years, she played Xie Liu and spent a pretty pleasant time. She even took the opportunity to go to Biguo because she wanted to marry the son of the Li family.
Her carriage stopped in front of Chaoxi Lane for a whole afternoon. However, among the people coming and going, there was no Aying.
She wanted to jump out of the car and rush in, and shouted, "I'm back!"
At that time, the expressions on everyone's faces will look very good, especially mother.
But when she wanted to do whatever she wanted, she saw several five or six-year-old children on the roadside, fighting and eating candied haws and wearing flowery clothes. At the same age, children in the holy land had begun to learn to use a knife to kill chickens, sheep, and little wolf.
The children ran past the carriage while playing, leaving behind a series of crisp laughter.
Inside the closed car door, she leaned against the wall and sighed deeply, finally smiled softly, and ordered the carriage to continue moving forward.
However, just when the carriage passed by another narrow road called Huanxi Lane, she saw a very beautiful little girl.
The little girl stood in front of a calligraphy and painting shop called "Tianmozhai". The sunset was slightly sunken, and she was covered with a layer of golden light. She was more dazzling than the apricot blossoms.
The little girl also saw her from the car window, suddenly smiled and came forward: "Sister, do you buy flowers?"
The carriage did not stop, and the little girl kept chasing the driveway: "Sister, buy one!"
Seeing her hard work chasing her, she asked the driver to stop the car, lifted the curtain and asked, "How much does this apricot blossom cost?"
The little girl smiled sweetly: "Two cents."
She couldn't help but think: It's a waste to be so beautiful, just selling flowers.
The coachman gave the little girl two cents, and the little girl handed the most beautiful flower into the window. So she couldn't help but ask again: "What's your name?"
"My name is Xihe. If my sister wants to buy flowers, come to Tianmozhai to find me again."
Qiu Jiang thought that it was really a very insignificant thing in her life - she passed by a street and saw a beautiful little girl who spent two cents to buy an apricot blossom.
At that time, she never expected that the little girl selling flowers would eventually become her younger brother's disaster.
The common disaster between the two younger brothers.
When she and Li Chen, the son of the Li family, returned to the south edge after having a kiss, Xie Bin invited her into the secret room and told her that he had figured it out and was willing to give her the sufficient formula.
She asked, "What made you suddenly change your mind?"
Xie Bin smiled bitterly and handed her a blood-stained handkerchief: "I have tuberculosis. The doctor said I'm alive in a few years."
She stared at the handkerchief and said nothing.
Xie Bin said again: "You are back from your marriage this time, and I am preparing your dowry. Looking at those dowries, I couldn't help but think that Liu'er is one year older than you. If she is still alive, she will be the age to get married. I have been looking for her for more than ten years. Even if I can find her, it will delay her best age. Not only do I want her to return safely, but I also hope that she will be happy for the rest of her life, like an ordinary girl, she will be protected by her family, be loved by her husband, and be filial to her children. So, I have enough to buy her for the rest of her life."
She was silent for a while before saying, "What if she is dead?"
Xie Bin's eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice: "Then, I will buy Mrs. Ruyi's life with all my strength."
So she stayed at the Xie family for another year. Seeing Xie Bin's illness getting worse day by day, watching the dowry getting ready little by little, and seeing the wedding date approaching day by day. On the eve of the wedding boat, Xie Bin finally told her the recipe.
"I'll just say it once." He memorized it immediately, "Remember?"
She silently wrote it down, and after confirming that there were no omissions, she asked, "Why?"
"What?"
"Why do you never ask who I am and why do you want to deal with Mrs. Ruyi?"
"You have been to my house for five years. I have been observing you for five years."
"Do you think I'm trustworthy?"
"No."
She frowned.
Xie Bin said again: "But you have nothing wrong with saying - if there is someone in this world who can deal with Mrs. Ruyi, that person is you. Not me." In the past five years, he has always felt absurd. Before that, he did not think that there are such smart people in the world who can learn anything well. He believes that people who know astronomy and geography, five elements, eight trigrams, chess, calligraphy, painting, Qimen Dunjia economics and soldiers cannot exist. But she broke through his cognition. She even knows martial arts. When she wants to sneak out at night, no servant can catch up with her...
Such a person cannot really come for a recipe for a full body. What she is planning must be extremely large, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.
So, he decided to take a gamble.
"Remember, I bought it..."
"Xie Liu's rest of his life. Or, Mrs. Ruyi's life."
Xie Bin smiled and stretched out her palm. She thought she was going to slap her high fives. Just as she was about to meet her, the palm fell on her head and gently stroked her: "What kind of family can raise a child like you? Since she has raised a child like you, how can she be willing to let you do these things?"
She sensed the hand, her eyes were deep, and suddenly she lost her voice.
She grew up in the Xie family as his daughter.
It was a completely different time from the holy realm, or even from the Ji family.
When she was at the Ji family, her father loved her very much. Although her mother was strict, she also had high hopes for her. She was accompanied by her younger brother and allowed her to bully her and tease her. At that time, she felt that she was a princess and was loved by her.
When she was in the holy realm, she was killed every day, and she was exposed to the darkest side of human nature, such as betrayal, killing, and fraud. At that time, she felt that she was a beast, and if she hadn't always had a teacher to guide her, she would have been lost and desolate.
But at the Xie family, Xie Bin never restricts her anything. Mrs. Xie also showed her wife's tolerance to her daughter in the outdoor room. Although she was alienated, she did not make any bad things. As for the other people in the Xie family, although they talked about her behind their backs and occasionally played tricks to bully her, it was not worth mentioning compared to the disciples in the holy realm.
That was her most free time.
She almost forgot about Ruyimen, forgot about Mrs. Ruyi, and learned all the knowledge she liked and interested in from her teacher.
She knew that the teacher often returned to Biguo to teach Aying, so she always asked him: "Which is better, Aying or me?"
The teacher smiled and said, "You learn faster than him. But he learns better than you."
She could only sigh. Her personality was unrestrained and she was not as calm as A Ying to study it, so she could learn many skills. For example, martial arts, among the same group of disciples in the holy realm, it can only be considered as the upper-middle-level.
She always asks the teacher for information about her younger brother, and the teacher asks her: "Do you want to meet? I can arrange for you to meet."
"After seeing her, I hugged my head and cried, and then went back to my own house?" Her expression became serious and she pursed the corners of her lips, "No, I won't see you before things are done."
She thought at the time: I have to wait until the dust is settled and everything is over, and then return to Aying cleanly, put on his hips and tell him, do you know how amazing your sister has done? Do you admire me very much? Admiration for me?
As she imagined such a scene, she felt hope and a little power to fight despair.
However, what she never expected was that she would never see him again.
Her younger brother Ji Ying died under the conspiracy of Mrs. Ruyi.
Qiu Jiang ran quickly, her dream turned around, as if she was still in the carriage. The carriage was parked in Chaoxi Lane. She opened the carriage door desperately, rushed down, kicked open the door of Ji's mansion, and shouted: "Aying-Aying--"
The door was empty and there was no one.
"A Ying! A Ying--" She cried out in despair, "I'm back! I succeeded! I got the whereabouts of the Four Kingdoms from Mrs. Ruyi. All the 30,000 disciples of Ruyi Sect can go home. They all go home, and I'm going home too..."
To be continued...
