Xia Jingsheng recovered quickly.

Sun Wenxi knocked sideways several times, but Xia Jingsheng deftly avoided them all, which made Sun Wenxi even more uncertain.

He could see that Xia Jingsheng was hiding something from him.

That night, the two packed up and Xia Jingsheng sent Sun Wenxi to the door.

Sun Wenxi pulled the door frame tightly, and looked at Xia Jingsheng pitifully: "Jingsheng, it's even deeper, you are willing to let me guard the empty room alone?"

Due to Xia Jingsheng's amnesia and injury, the two hadn't had sex for a long time.

Now being teased by Sun Wenxi, Xia Jingsheng also felt a little hesitant.

In the end, he was still no match for Sun Wenxi's persistence, and the two lay on the bed hugging each other.

"Jing Sheng, if you have something on your mind, don't carry it alone, I have it." Sun Wenxi said, his heart beating faster.

Under the moonlight outside the window, Xia Jingsheng raised his eyes to see Sun Wenxi's jawline, and hugged him even tighter.

"Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion." Xia Jingsheng said.

He is determined to let go of his anxiety and hidden worries. There is a great time in front of him. If he loses his mind because of a curse that cannot tell the truth from the false, it is really not worth it. It is better to live happily, and the time will pass in the blink of an eye.

On the day of departure, there was no one to see them off in the Miao Village, just like when they arrived, everyone had indifferent expressions on their faces.

Xia Jingsheng didn't care much about this, he walked out of the village, turned around and looked at the village hidden in the thick fog, everything seemed like a big dream.

In the past, his mother's identity was a mystery, but now that the mystery has been revealed, Xia Jingsheng has also let go of many doubts in his heart.

He understood Peng Yue's choice.

Not free, or rather die.

Coming to Pagoda Company again, Xia Jingsheng was amazed at the change of Company Commander Shi.

Today's company commander Shi looks like a strict husband, and he can be said to obey Ma Mingkong.

Xia Jingsheng smiled lightly at Ma Mingkong, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thanks for Mr.'s concern, it's good." Ma Mingkong pulled the switch to reveal the basement in the village.

As soon as the lamp was lit, Xia Jingsheng had a clear view of the scene in the cellar.

All the coffins of pagoda wood in front of him looked particularly pervasive.

"This is..." Xia Jingsheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Corpse." Ma Mingkong said concisely.

He walked a few steps quickly, stopped in front of a coffin, and raised his hand to split the coffin lid.

Xia Jingsheng recognized the body inside as Xue Cheng.

"But this one?" Ma Mingkong asked.

"Exactly." Xia Jingsheng took a closer look.

I saw that the neck of the corpse was covered with cinnabar, and all kinds of strange charms were pasted on it.

"Speaking of which, I have never seen this method of expelling corpses with my own eyes." Xia Jingsheng looked curious.

Ma Mingkong didn't hide his clumsiness, he raised his palm and slapped the wall, and the bamboo hat hanging on the wall landed firmly on Xue Cheng's head as if it had eyes.

Everything is necessary, Ma Mingkong shouted: "Get up——"

I saw that the corpse that was lying flat suddenly stood up, as if it had come to life.

Ma Mingkong took out a bamboo whistle from his waist, and when the whistle sounded, the corpse got the command and walked forward with a jump.

The whistle can control the corpse to do anything, and when the whistle stops, the corpse will lie down again, and everything will be as usual.

Xia Jingsheng's gaze was fixed on the bamboo whistle in Ma Mingkong's hand: "This bamboo whistle..."

Ma Mingkong smiled and said: "This bamboo whistle is not a rare item. Young men and women like to play it on weekdays. Of course, it can also be used for other purposes, such as driving corpses..."

Xia Jingsheng took out the bamboo whistle that he carried with him, and handed it to Ma Mingkong: "Please take a look for me, is there any source for this whistle?"

This whistle was given to Xia Jingsheng by the old Miao doctor in Qingcheng, and Xia Jingsheng always carried it with him.

Ma Mingkong took the whistle, looked at it carefully, shook his head for a while and said: "There are many similar whistles, sorry for my poor eyesight, but I can't see where this thing comes from."

Xia Jingsheng put the bamboo whistle back, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay." He was just curious, but now that he can't find the answer, it doesn't matter.

According to the method Ma Mingkong said, he tied Xue Cheng's body tightly with five-color cloth, and then wrapped it in a straw mat.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the corpse is not easy to rot.

After bidding farewell to Ma Mingkong, Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi returned to Jiangcheng by water.

Xue Cheng's wife got the news in advance and was already waiting at the pier.

Seeing Xue Cheng's body, she looked calm, bowed solemnly to Xia Jingsheng, and led the body home.

The Sun family also sent someone to come, and when they saw Sun Wenxi and Xia Jingsheng, the servants were overjoyed: "Master, you are finally back."

During Xia Jingsheng's absence, many things happened in Jiangcheng.

The one that attracted the most attention was the return of the second young master of the Duan family from studying abroad.

Xia Jingsheng was sitting in the car, listening to the servant talking endlessly about anecdotes about the second youngest of the Duan family.

It is said that Duan Yixiong, the second youngest of the Duan family, is the master of the Duan family's heart, and has been doted on since childhood.

The Duan family has been in the medicinal material business for generations, and it is also the most upright and old-fashioned family among the four major families.

But even so, when Second Young Master Duan proposed to study abroad, Master Duan still agreed.

This time the Second Young Master Duan returned, but the old man of the Duan family was overjoyed, he held a big banquet and invited all guests.

It stirred up the unsettled water in Jiangcheng, making it even more lively.

"By the way, the Duan family also sent invitations to the two of you, and they are on the desk in the study." The servant said.

"Understood." Xia Jingsheng replied.

Sun Wenxi saw that he looked tired, held his hand and said softly, "Take a break, I'll call you when we arrive."

Xia Jingsheng couldn't help but feel relieved, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The servants of the Sun family drove very smoothly, Xia Jingsheng fell asleep all the way, and when he opened his eyes, he was already on the bed in the bedroom.

He sat up and looked at the familiar furnishings in front of him.

The incense flakes in the incense burner still smelled familiar, and he had already changed into soft satin pajamas, everything was on track.

After Xia Jingsheng finished washing up, he opened the door, and there was a person kneeling upright outside the door.

Ah Bao's face was gloomy, with a look of avoiding strangers.

"What's wrong?" Xia Jingsheng asked in surprise.

"It's my responsibility for not protecting you well." Ah Bao replied very seriously.

Xia Jingsheng laughed, and quickly helped him up: "It's not your fault, Ah Bao."

A Bao heard the news that Xia Jingsheng was in danger in Jiangcheng, and he blamed himself very much.

Fortunately, Xia Jingsheng returned safely, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

During Xia Jingsheng's absence, invitations piled up like a mountain.

Ah Bao sorted the invitations according to the priority, Xia Jingsheng picked up the invitation card at the top, and saw the seal of Longhushan on the invitation card.

Longhushan is the orthodox lineage of Tianshi, and it must be very important to be able to stamp the post with the seal of Longhushan.

Xia Jingsheng looked carefully at the content, it turned out that Taoist Master Xuanxu wanted to lead the younger generation to Jiangcheng to do water and land rituals, chanting scriptures for 49 days to save the souls of the dead, and Xia Jingsheng was specially invited to attend the ceremony on the first day.

Xia Jingsheng and that Taoist priest Xuanxu are old friends. In the previous Huxian incident, Xia Jingsheng tied up the sister and brother of Huxian with a fairy bag, and handed it to Taoist Xuanxu to deal with.Now that Daoist Xuanxu is in Jiangcheng, Xia Jingsheng will naturally show up.

Xia Jingsheng asked Ah Bao to accept Dianyi, and then went on to read the rest of the posts.

When you look at it, you can see the night.

Xia Jingsheng was so focused on his work that he didn't realize that someone entered the room for a while.

Sun Wenxi stood still in front of the table, and said with a light smile, "I wonder if the young master can do me a favor and have dinner with me?"

Only then did Xia Jingsheng realize that it was time for dinner, he put down his pen, and shook his sore shoulder.

Sun Wenxi rubbed his shoulders for him, and whispered in his ear: "Whose family is this desperate Saburo, who is so diligent just after he came back."

Xia Jingsheng looked up at Sun Wenxi: "Your family."

Seeing those innocent eyes, Sun Wenxi's heart trembled suddenly.

"Since it belongs to my family, why don't you let me handle it?" Sun Wenxi put his arms around Xia Jingsheng's neck, and sprayed his ambiguous breath on the side of his neck.

"Don't make a fuss, don't you want to eat?" Xia Jingsheng struggled, but didn't exert any effort.

"There's no better food than you." Sun Wenxi said, and was about to kiss her.

"Cough cough..." There was a light cough from outside the slightly closed door, and Sun Xia and Sun Xia raised their eyes at the same time, facing Sun Qiman who was smiling.

"Am I... bothering you?" Sun Qiman asked with a smile, "Young man, you are so hot, Dad understands."

Xia Jingsheng's face instantly burned.

Because of Sun Qiman's episode, the two finally didn't mess around before dinner. Sun Wenxi stroked the back of Xia Jingsheng's neck and whispered to him, "I will settle accounts with you tonight."

Sun Qiman came here specially to look for Sun Wenxi, and in the study, Sun Qiman sighed softly: "I've heard about what happened in Guicheng, you guys have narrowly escaped death."

Sun Wenxi smiled and said: "The situation is indeed dangerous, but after this incident, Jing Sheng and I recognize each other even more."

Sun Qiman nodded, and after a while, he asked with a smile, "Did the Duan family send you invitations?"

Sun Wenxi nodded.

"Then do you know, what is the purpose of this time?" Sun Qiman still had that smiling expression, but it made Sun Wenxi suddenly nervous.

"It is said that among several grandchildren, Master Duan is the most fond of Second Young Master Duan. This time, he must be a matchmaker for Second Young Master." Sun Wenxi guessed.

"You're half right." Sun Qiman took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, "Besides Duan Second Young Master, the Duan family also has a girl who hasn't left the court yet."

Indeed, Master Duan had two sons and one daughter, if Sun Qiman didn't remind him, Sun Wenxi would never remember that there was such a young lady.

Sun Wenxi noticed that Sun Qiman was sizing him up all the time.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Sun Wenxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"The Duan family intends to let you marry Duan Yilian." Sun Qiman threw a thunderbolt.

"What?!" Sun Wenxi was startled, "They should know that I married Jing Sheng a long time ago."

"They know." Sun Qiman pushed a plate of mung bean cakes in front of Sun Wenxi, "Eat a piece of cake and go to the fire."

With the rise of western medicine, the business of pharmacies has not improved, so Master Duan intends to choose a good husband for Duan Yilian.

At first, he focused on the Xia family, but the Xia family's fortunes fell, so Master Duan turned his attention to the upstart Sun's family.

"From their point of view, you and Jing Sheng are both men, and if you want to be fresh for a while, it will not last long." As soon as Sun Qiman finished speaking, Sun Wenxi's face turned cold.

"I'm sorry for disappointing them. Jing Sheng and I are in harmony with each other, and we have the same affection. We never thought of breaking up." Sun Wenxi said.

"Anyway, let me remind you first, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds when it comes to the reception banquet." After Sun Qiman finished speaking, he pushed his glasses,
