Yu Huan

The marriage of Nie Jin's family added a lot of material for after-dinner conversations between the family of Xianmen and the common people in the market, and those things between the two were dug up and talked about with embellishment, and gradually many different versions were derived.

Nie Mingjue didn't care, but Jin Guangyao was already feeling uncomfortable after being talked about so openly and secretly.When he was thinking about whether to ask Xue Yang to set up a tea stall and burn his story books, it was suddenly reported that Bai Xueguan and Song Zichen stopped that villain Xue Yang from committing crimes.

The fresher and hotter the better, Jin Guangyao's talk has been going on for a long time, how can it compare to Xue Yang and Song Zichen's excitement of falling in love and killing each other?Everyone's attention was turned away in an instant.

Jin Guangyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in private he told Su She to be more cautious and careful, and Song Zichen must not let Song Zichen see his faults in contacting Xue Yang.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but in Lianhuawu, it was deliberately isolated, so that Xiao Xingchen would not know.Whether you tell me or not, he always looks depressed, sitting quietly facing the wall all day long, thinking about his mistakes.A-Qing was afraid that something would happen to him, so she begged for warmth to find a way.But how can warmth cure this kind of heart disease?She originally wanted to refuse, but A-Qing's pleading appearance was really pitiful, so she agreed as soon as she softened, and went to acupuncture and detoxify Xiao Xingchen at a fixed hour every day.Whether it is effective or not is not important, the main purpose of acupuncture is to let Xiao Xingchen talk to others, so as not to keep silent for a long time, and then develop other diseases.

Just like that, another half a month passed, but something happened again at Jinlintai.Xue Lin, who followed Jin Guangyao to Qinghe, ran back for some reason, and refused to leave after saying anything, which made Jin Zixuan very angry.Jiang Yanli was afraid that the two of them would argue again, so on the pretext that Jin Ling missed his uncle, he ordered the child and the two wet nurses to be sent to Lianhuawu, where Jiang Cheng would take care of him for a while.

It’s just that Jiang Cheng couldn’t take care of the children, he stared at those little dolls for a while with a dark face, Jin Ling’s tears were tearing up and he was about to cry.So the matter of looking after children was pushed to warmth again.A child as old as Jin Ling and Xue Lin is just at the age where he loves to play around and follow others wherever he goes.A-Qing played with the two of them outside while tenderly doing acupuncture for Xiao Xingchen.

At this time, Xiao Xingchen would sit in front of the window and listen quietly, with a gentle and nostalgic expression, as if throwing a stone into the deep well, the dead silence was disturbed, and vitality was regained.Wen Qing thought that this would help his situation, so she arranged the residence of several children in the next courtyard and asked them to go to Xiao Xingchen if they had nothing to do.

It's just that Wen Qing didn't know that Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang had a child.If she knew, she would never have made this arrangement.

Although Xue Lin was taken care of by Jin Guangyao in Jinlintai, most of the students of the Jin family and Ke Qing looked down on Xue Yang's background because of Xue Yang's relationship. They either sneered at him or scolded Huai in front of him, and they didn't give him any good looks.He was still young, so he couldn't figure out why, every time he was insulted for no reason, he felt wronged in his heart, and he even believed that he had done something wrong to make people hate him.Therefore, when he met someone who was very kind to him like Xiao Xingchen, he naturally liked him very much, and wished he could stick by his side all the time, telling him all the things he wanted to say but dared not to say.

Xiao Xingchen sighed in his heart that this child was intelligent, cute and talented, but because of his parents, he was looked down upon and treated coldly by others, it was a bit pitiful.After getting along with each other every day, I unconsciously developed some pity, and cared more and more for the child.

It's been half a month, but when Xue Lin came to him with warmth this day, he was very excited. Several people were sitting in the courtyard, but Xue Lin was the only one chatting non-stop.

"My master sent someone to bring me something, saying that it was from my father!" He held the kit tightly in both hands, almost jumping up in excitement. "I knew Daddy always missed me! Uncle, I'm so happy!"

Xiao Xingchen was also happy for him, reached out and touched his head, smiled and lowered his head to "look" at him.I only heard Xue Lin continue, "Daddy even wrote me a letter! It's a pity that I'm not very literate... I can't understand many of them."

After finishing speaking, she stared at the warmth eagerly, which made her burst out laughing, and promised to read it to him later.Who knew that Jin Ling was more curious than he was about what was written in the letter, saying that he was older and more literate, so he clamored to help him read, and regardless of the warm winks at him, he took it and read it.

"'Xiao Mumu, I heard that you ran away from Nie's house? Well done! I reward you with a bracelet and another one for Tao Tao. By the way, the longevity lock was given to her by Tao Tao's father. You should keep it for your younger sister first. .Speaking of which, your unlucky master should name her? Listen, no matter what she is called, she has the same surname as you, Xue, and she is your only relative. Live well with her. From now on, you and I don't have anything to do with it anymore.'...no more."

As soon as Jin Ling finished reading, he felt that the atmosphere suddenly changed, and the noise just now suddenly turned into dead silence.He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, held the letter in his hand and read it again, yes, word for word.Why are you silent?

Covering his heart tenderly, he just wanted to cry. Xue Lin's identity had been concealed for so long and it was fine, but Jin Ling, an upright child, was exposed in one fell swoop.As a child, he doesn't understand the things of their adults, so he can say whatever he wants, but it's really not the right time for this childish talk.She secretly looked at Xiao Xingchen, and quietly pulled the two children back, for fear that he would do something impulsively.

Xiao Xingchen didn't have the heart to think so much.The blood on his face faded to pale, the blindfolded ribbon was soaked with sweat, his shoulders trembled, his chest fluctuated, his breathing was urgent and heavy, and it took a long time for him to calm down slowly.

"Tell me, what's your name? Who are your parents?" He asked in a low voice, but he knew the answer in his heart.

"My name is Xue Lin, Lin from the rainforest. Daddy..." The boy shrank subconsciously, then straightened his back, pretending to be relaxed, "Daddy's name is Xue Yang, father doesn't know."

Ah Lin, Ah Lin... Song Lin, Xue Lin, this child, this child is... He should have thought of it long ago!Then, isn't that the young sister he said lived next door... He didn't dare to think about it any longer, and he clenched his hands tightly into fists and slammed them on the stone table beside him, blood smearing on the plain white stone.

"Uncle?" Xue Lin panicked, stepped forward to hold his hand, but was pushed aside.This blow was extremely light, but to Xue Lin it was a critical strike.He pursed his lips and tried his best to look at Xiao Xingchen, but he saw an expression that was so familiar on his usually gentle smiling face.Disgust, hatred, contempt.He suddenly understood that this person was no different from the others, they all had enmity with his father and hated him.

Xue Lin bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle, do you know why I must return to Lanling from Qinghe? Because my father asked me to take good care of my sister before leaving, but the master said that my sister only You can stay on Jinlin Terrace, but you can’t go to Uncle Nie’s house with us. So I ran back.”

Xiao Xingchen didn't speak, but two balls of blood suddenly appeared on the plain white silk that was blindfolded.

"I know, you all say that my father is a bad person, even he himself said so, but he, he is also my father, why should he not want me if he says he doesn't want me because of you..."

Why?Why? !why...

He was out of breath from crying, and after thinking about it for so long, he still couldn't figure it out. There were too many things that he couldn't figure out.He only knew that his father abandoned him because of these people, but these people treated him badly and hated him.He was so scared and wanted to go back to his father.But, nothing.He wants so little, why can't he get it all the time?If only those people didn't exist...

This thought flashed through his mind in a hurry, but he pulled it back forcefully.

Yes, if none of these existed, Daddy wouldn't have to hide anymore.Right or wrong doesn't matter, anyone who wants to hurt daddy is a bad person, whoever separates their family is a bad person, and whoever makes him feel so sad is a bad person.

If these bad guys don't exist, can the family be reunited?

He was shocked by his own thought, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong.All of a sudden, the problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved so easily, even he himself couldn't believe it.

It's just that no one can tell him whether it is right or wrong to think so.

Xiao Xingchen stood in the courtyard for a long time, not even knowing when Xue Lin and the others left.

Those things that were deliberately forgotten are now being rediscovered, and the shame and guilt are sharply stirred in the heart, bringing out a bright blood.

How should I say it?What can I say?At that time in Yicheng, what Xue Yang said was actually quite reasonable, but he knew in his heart that it was not entirely true.

This fondness started because of Xue Yang, but it ended with that man's vicious heart. After the incident, the Chang family didn't have the slightest thought of him anymore.It's just that he couldn't let go of that kind of flamboyant and mischievous young man in his heart no matter what.Therefore, when he was in Yicheng, he was sure that when he found that the nameless boy perfectly matched his preferences, the joy in his heart had absolutely nothing to do with Xue Yang.

He likes that boy, because a boy is a boy, not a "replacement".He loved that boy with all his heart, regarded him as his salvation, and never thought of other possibilities.But now, the young man has removed his disguise, and the evil spirit is still under the human skin.

Overnight, heaven and hell.

How can he bear this?This unreasonable thought coupled with many other things hit him too hard. Although he was not dead, he looked like a walking dead, muddled.Song Zichen didn't blame him, but he couldn't forgive himself.

Today, Xue Lin stood here talking to him.He was thinking of another child.

That child was born by him and Xue Yang, and his background was even worse than Xue Lin's.Xue Lin was stared at all because of that person, but what about Tao Tao? "Unreasonable", "offensive", "shouldn't have been born at all", once her life experience is discovered, these ugly words will follow her forever, how can a father like him feel comfortable?He likes that child so much, how can he bear to make her suffer?

Obviously everything is their fault. These children don't know anything, they haven't done anything, but they have to bear the consequences for them.what is this?

In a trance, he heard someone calling his name. He stabilized his mind, forced himself to identify carefully for a while, then "looked" to the front left, and asked, "Miss Wen, what's the matter?"

"Master Daoist, it's time to give the needle."

Xiao Xingchen responded, and walked back to the room with warmth, took off the blood-stained ribbon, and sat quietly on the couch waiting for the needle to be administered.For a while, both of them stopped talking, and the needles were applied and closed. An hour passed quickly, but today's warmth is not in a hurry to leave. She put away the silver needles and stood in front of the window, looking at the sky and sighing softly.

"Daoist, do you know? Because Xue Yang has been doing evil everywhere these years, many people are blaming me for not saving him back then. If he was allowed to die, then many things would never happen in the future." Wen Qing said softly , "It's his business to do evil, but it's my business to save people. I'm a doctor, and there's absolutely no reason to refuse to save him. Even if I know what kind of person he is, I will still save him. But I have a clear conscience. Right or wrong?"

Xiao Xingchen didn't want her to say that suddenly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded emphatically, and said, "Miss Wen did nothing wrong."

"That's right. What do you think of me, Taoist priest?" Wen Qing asked suddenly.

Xiao Xingchen was startled, then said cautiously, "Miss Wen is kind-hearted and has the heart to help the world, I really admire it."

"The Taoist priest is serious." With a soft smile, he continued, "But does the Taoist priest know that I am just a sinner, imprisoned in this lotus dock, and will never have freedom at all."

"Why?" Xiao Xingchen knew what it was about as soon as he asked.

"The Taoist priest must have heard of the shooting of the sun and the siege of mass graves, right? Wen's family will chase the fairy gate forever, and I am the only one who is still alive." Warmly playing with the silver ring between his fingers, he recalled, " The fate of Wen Ruohan and Wen Chao was entirely their own fault. It is inconvenient for me to comment on the other clan members, but my intoxicated medicine is extremely weak in combat power, and there is not a single life in my hand, but what will happen? Even if I have saved countless lives in my life , there are still people who wish to crush me to ashes."

"They are them, you are you. It shouldn't be..." Xiao Xingchen squeezed out these two sentences from his throat dryly, but he didn't know what to say next.Shouldn't it be, the Mass Burial Mound battle is over long ago, and the Wen family died long ago.

"They are them, we are us. If everyone in the world can think like the Taoist priest, my brother and the clansmen will not end up in a tragic death." Warmth raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and tried to keep his voice steady, "Dao Did you know? The Yiling Patriarch, who is known by the world as a man who did all kinds of crimes, is actually a big fool who can buy the wrong potatoes and radishes. The brutal and bloodthirsty ghost general is a little fool who dare not even breathe when I am angry. How did the two idiots become the most heinous sinners in the eyes of others?"

Xiao Xingchen was speechless, and there was silence for a while, only the faint sobbing sound echoed quietly.

Zi Dian was tightly held in her hands, together with that unspeakable affection.

"Miss Wen told me so much today, probably because of Xue Lin?" Xiao Xingchen pretended not to hear the sobbing just now, and said seriously.

"Yes, it's good that the Taoist priest understands." Wiping away the tears tenderly, returning to his usual appearance, he said solemnly, "Xue Yang is Xue Yang, and A Lin is A Lin. We can tell the difference clearly, but most people in this world I don't even understand this. Xue Yang's affairs will still be blamed on A Lin. Is it really fair to be treated like that when he has done nothing? If A Lin becomes the second Xue Yang, he will say Tell me, did we force him to be like that step by step?"

"..." Is this really fair?Xiao Xingchen repeated it in his heart, and silently shook his head.If Xue Lin became the second Xue Yang, everyone would pay attention to the fact that he did evil, but no one cared about why he did evil.But his evil was forced out little by little, just like... just like Xue Yang.

Like a flash of lightning splitting his heart full of chaos, Xiao Xingchen trembled violently, but suddenly came to his senses.

In this world, there is pure goodwill, there is pure malice, there is absolute good, and there is absolute evil.He had always thought so before.But it is only now that I really understand that pure good and bad good and evil exist, but most of the good and bad good and evil in this world are mixed together and cannot be distinguished.Everyone has one reason or another, and it is possible for an adult to become a ghost.

Some ghosts look noble on the surface but are nasty and hateful in appearance; while some people are regarded as ghosts and end up miserably with trumped-up charges, which is deplorable; but most people are tortured into It is despicable and pitiful to kill a ghost, destroying conscience and causing harm to the world.

This is both a world and a hell.And Xue Yang was pushed by this kind of world, turning from a human into a ghost step by step.

Xiao Xingchen got up suddenly, and gave a respectful and deep salute to Wenqing.

"Miss Wen, you have been taught."

"People's hearts are unpredictable, human nature is complicated, and people's words are terrifying. Many times, many things are not what we think. If we don't even know the truth, how can we talk about justice?"

"What Miss Wen said, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

It is his responsibility and dream to eliminate demons and defend justice. Even in the face of such a world, he should not give up.Doing evil is Xue Yang's business, but he still has to save him.

It's just that it doesn't matter if you achieve nothing or fail completely.If you can't save the common people, then only save him.enough.

"Do you want to go next door with me to see A Lin?"

"That's natural." Xiao Xingchen said with a smile.

Apart from Xue Yang, maybe he can save a few more people.Ah Lin and Tao Tao shouldn't suffer because of them.

In this world, there are too many poor people, and there should be no more innocent sacrifices.
