... Yuan Ming.

...Yuan Ming!Yuanming!

Wake up!Don't be like this, you will definitely wake up, right? ?Yuanming! ! !

……

Xue Moci suddenly woke up from the nightmare, only then realized that everything was a dream.It's only the beginning of spring now, everything is still warm and cold. The weather is not warm, but she is still covered in cold sweat. The clothes next to her body are soaked, and they are tightly attached to her body, outlining the outline of her body. curve.

A few locks of her hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her face, and the jet-black hair made her pale--so pale when she wasn't putting bright red lipstick on her lips.

She took two deep breaths, as if she had finally recovered from the nightmare, she grabbed the small bottle next to the bed.The bottle is very special, the whole body is translucent, with some light green mixed in the white, it looks like a piece of fine jade at first glance.The shape of the small bottle is very beautiful, like a miniature plum bottle, but there is a small bead of the same material on it, which firmly blocks the mouth of the bottle.

She stared at the small bottle for a while, and was relieved after confirming that it was fine.She held the small bottle in the palm of her hand and pressed it to her face, as if it was someone very close, and said in a voice that was always paranoid and fanatical, mixed with a trace of affection: "...wait a minute."

hold on.

It won't be long before it's done.

She clutched the vial in her hand, got out of bed, and pushed open the door of the bedroom regardless of the night dew.As soon as the door was opened, the chill outside hit her face. Her clothes were all wet, and she couldn't help getting goose bumps all over her body.

She walked slowly to the courtyard and looked at the Qinghui that filled the courtyard.The fresh air and cold outside made her feel more awake, and the fact that she was still alive.

The battle of Qingyun Mountain a few days ago seemed easy to her, but it was definitely not that simple.Gathering the power of a hundred years of life in one body has had a considerable impact on her body. During these days, she has been feeling a little dazed, having nightmares again and again, and all kinds of past events that she does not want to recall are taking turns under her control over her body. When she was weak, it flooded into her mind, and for a while, she couldn't tell where she was.Xue Moci dared not think, if she really agreed to the beast to gain power through the same contract, would she still be able to stand here soberly now.

Most of the benefits that can be obtained too easily are accompanied by risks, but some things can only be sought in danger.She doesn't ask for anything else, but only wants to fill up the small bottle in the remaining time, and it doesn't matter what other things are.

Just when she was lost in thought alone, a cough suddenly came from a corner of the yard. Xue Moci turned around and saw an old woman coming out of the darkness and slowly walking towards her.

Xue Moci looked at her and said, "Grandma, why are you out? It's midnight, why don't you take a good rest."

The old woman was getting old, but her silver hair was combed neatly, but the creases on her face couldn't be hidden, like deep ravines.Her legs and feet were not very good, and she was holding a long crutch in her hand. She couldn't walk very fast, and she couldn't walk to Xue Moci's side for a long time. Xue Moci looked anxious, and went to give her a hand. The woman still looked strange and ungrateful, and said to her reproachfully: "... I don't know who is having nightmares, crying and shouting in the middle of the night, disturbing my old lady's sane dreams."

Xue Moci didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Grandma, I'm fine, I'll help you go back and rest."

The old woman waved her hands. Her skin was covered with many brown age spots, and the skin on her hands was even more weather-beaten, which looked like dead tree bark.She said slowly: "Forget it, forget it... When you reach my age, you will understand that you can sleep quite well. Now that you let me go back, I won't be able to sleep anymore..."

Xue Moci forced a smile: "It's better to close your eyes and rest."

"...Who knows if you can open your eyes again after you close them." The old woman responded casually, but suddenly changed the topic, "Girl, when are you going back there?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Xue Moci said, "I can continue to wait."

The old woman stomped the bluestone bricks on the ground in the yard with her crutches, and the crutches wrapped in cloth hit the stone bricks, making a dull sound: "Who said you can't wait? Girl, let me tell you the truth." Said, I have tried the soul of the person you are looking for, but I can’t get it back. No matter how many times I try again, it’s the same. You live here with me, it’s a waste of time. When you leave, I can move back to my home. It’s comfortable to live on the small boat.”

Xue Moci said: "Grandma, living on the boat is very humid, it's not good for your health."

"Don't talk about it elsewhere." The old woman glanced at her and said unwillingly, "I have lived on that boat for decades, and I have long been used to it. But you... Let me tell you , the ones who can talk in your pavilion are all good people. You always come to me when you have nothing to do, so be careful of being caught. "

Xue Moci didn't speak, and walked the old woman into the house in a muffled voice.

When people get old, they start to break their mouths. Seeing that she was silent, the old woman was still babbling: "If you want me to say, that thing is not easy to touch! Sigh... there is no good thing that comes for nothing, you Is it really worth it to say that you have a bad reputation? Girl, old lady, I am a soft-hearted person. Most people who come to beg me are desperate. No matter what, they want to keep those who died. As long as they ask, I will help in all likelihood, not to mention that I was sisters with your master back then, and you can be regarded as I watched you grow up. I see you being scolded by others, and my heart aches, seeing you robbing so many irrelevant people for nothing I also feel sorry for my life...how can there be a perfect thing in life? Some things, after a long time, will be forgotten..."

Xue Moci opened his mouth sullenly, without the usual expression at all: "Grandma, you can't help me, I will solve it myself. Please help me prepare a wooden doll for my body. I will leave for Heshuo tomorrow, and the rest You don't need to worry about things."

The old woman sighed: "I don't listen to persuasion."

Xue Moci carefully helped her into the house: "You inherited the skill of this soul puppet back then, and people in this world treat you with mixed reputations. Why are you not afraid of bad reputation?"

"Son, I'm different." The old woman sat on the bed and took her hand, "...I'm already half buried, why do I care about this? You are different, you are still young, and you will grow up in this lifetime... …When you think about that person decades later, you might forget him only as a vague shadow. It’s not worth spending half of your life on it.”

"He's worth it." Xue Moci pushed the old woman back on the bed, and tucked her in the quilt carefully, "Grandma, I'll ask someone to help you carry the things back to the boat at dawn, take care of yourself."

She turned her wrist, and a piece of harmless and calming incense was wrapped in her sleeve.Under the blessing of this incense, the old woman fell asleep almost instantly.Xue Moci got up and exited the house, returned to the bedroom where she lived before, and simply packed her things.
