mother liquid

The red gems reflect a gorgeous luster in the sun.

A diamond-shaped gemstone, the red diamond inside is like a liquid, and the parts connected to the pendant are two golden snakes wrapped around their necks.

Small, but very delicate.

Hua Jiujin sat on the verandah, playing with the pendant around her neck.

It was given to her by the Queen Mother before.

The empress dowager has already left, after leaving an explanation.

Let her: Don't get involved too deeply, go back as soon as possible.

She seemed to see through something, as if everything was under her control, and her tone was extraordinarily casual.

Hua Jiujin didn't understand what Qing Weiyan meant when she told her not to 'get involved too deeply', but she also tried to obey her wishes and avoid moving around in the flowers.

She... Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she is trying her best to follow the empress dowager's preferences.

For the time being, she doesn't want to delve into whether such an approach is right or wrong, good or bad.

It’s just that sometimes, it’s really good to do something habitually without thinking. Thinking is like standing firm in the torrent, or even going upstream, which is too tiring.

Moreover, because she was brought by the empress dowager's side since she was a child, she relied on her.

Forgive her slack.

Regarding Yu Niang, most of the work is left to her subordinates, and she quietly waits for their reports.

After the empress dowager claimed her completely, she became tired.

She leaned against the chair and basked in the sun, but she couldn't feel the warmth, and the snow still buried the world thickly.

The delicate chin is hidden in the collar of fox fur.

The fingers are slender and white, hanging down naturally, and the pale pink nail plate looks perfectly shaped and lovely.

Flower in the back of the mountain.

Lilith led several tall men including Xing Tianjun and Shi Minglu to search for Xian Changge's trace.

Xing Tianjun took the lead into the water and swam to the other side along the waterway.

They landed on the other side of the waterway and dug out several gutted bodies from the snow.

Cunning fish girl.

Really cunning.

Xing Tianjun and the others went ashore, shivering with cold.

In addition to finding the corpse killed by Yuniang, there was only another tall hill blocking them.

There is no way out, only the icy water back the way you came.

After digging out another corpse, Shi Minglu stood up, his wet body was frozen into crisp icicles.

As he stood up, a string of ice scum fell down.

Especially his bare head felt cold.

He walked to the edge of the shoal, turned around and looked at Xing Fange's subordinates who bent over to record.

On the snow-covered shoal, a small pile was piled up, a small pile of soft snow, which was dug out by digging the corpses.

Even if there is no way to transport the corpses back, they still have to make records to estimate the number of fish mothers or the degree of ferocity.

Only by recording every discovery they make, can they form more and more detailed and accurate concepts of a certain type of creature or a certain thing over time.

Xing Tianjun raised his head and met Shang Shiming Lu's gaze.

He got up and walked over.

In front of them was a wide expanse of water.

The area of ​​the water area can be seen to the end but meanders away.

For human beings, seeing the end of the distance is already too difficult for human beings.

"Any ideas?"

Xing Tianjun was half a head taller than Shi Minglu.

"I want to swim over to explore..."

As the team leader, Xing Tianjun was silent for a while.

His voice was low, "The fish mother specially chose such a tricky place as their feeding place, so cunning...they swam along the waterway and didn't know where they went, and where they made their nests." He narrowed his eyes. Narrow eye sockets, "How far can you swim? We all feel heartbroken after losing Changge, but we shouldn't use this method, bear with it..."

Xing Tianjun squeezed his shoulder, turned around and continued to record.

Shi Minglu stood on the spot, clenched his fists, and his whole body was tense.

His emotions are so agitated, and his behavior of suppressing emotions is so forbearing.

Xian Changge's meaning to him is different from that of others, and it is like a life mentor to him.

When he first came to Xingfan Courtyard, Xian Changge led them.

She means a lot to her brothers and sisters in the courtyard.

If Hua Pavilion Master is their spiritual guide, then Xian Changge is their action guide.

And this kind of emotion is especially strong in Shi Minglu, it has nothing to do with the love between men and women, but only the support and love for a person's behavior and affairs.

The search for the traces of Xian Jangge continues.

The entrance of the back mountain was too small to carry the wooden boat, so they spent manpower and material resources to bring the wood in, built the raft inside, took people, and paddled to search the winding waters.

The work of launching into the water was handed over to the men, and they had to work hard in the winter.

The brothers and sisters in the Xingfan Courtyard knew about this, and they all kept silent. No one guessed whether Xian Changge was dead.

Sister Hua also avoided talking about this topic.

It's just that batch after batch of search teams are arranged in an orderly manner to find clues.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

The news came from the subordinate who was inquiring about the whereabouts of Yugui and Xiulian.

They found two corpses in a dilapidated courtyard house on the outskirts of the capital.

It seems to be Yugui and Xiulian.

The Erjin Siheyuan has been abandoned.

The roof truss of the front yard broke under the corrosion of the wind and the sun, and the tiles were broken all over the place.

The central patio was overgrown with weeds.

Lilith wore thin gloves on her hands, squatted, and studied the two corpses over and over again.

Her long blonde hair was simply tied behind her back with a silver headband.

The half exposed profile, with superior lines, is an angel of the West.

"It has become like this, can you still identify their identities?"

Hua Jiujin stood behind Lilith.

"can."

Lilith didn't look back.

The shriveled corpse neither looks like a human nor does it know what it looks like.

"Lisheng, is there any record of Yu Niang's body?"

Hua Jiujin turned to ask Bailisheng again.

"Not too detailed. But it should have a fish tail, long fins, and long webs."

Hua Jiujin: "..."

Coincidentally, the two corpses really did not have fish tails.

So, isn't it?

If so, who killed the fish girl and made it look like this, as if she was sucked by a spirit.

"There are webs, there are fins..." Lilith stood up after checking. "These two corpses are Yugui and Xiulian's Yuniang, that's right. Their route is the same as what I heard. As for the bodies... Although there are some discrepancies, it cannot be ruled out that the person who killed them used a special method to cause it. "

Hua Jiujin nodded.

She has continued to ask people to inquire about people related to Yugui and Xiulian.

Other than that, they can't do anything without a clue.

Lou Xinxuan left.

He walked away quietly, and took Xian Changge away.

Bai Lisheng heartlessly ran to inform Mo Guanyin, "Your true love has escaped, and took away your sister Changge as a snack."

Mo Guanyin was stunned at the time, as if he didn't understand what Bailisheng was talking about.

When she reacted, she could only helplessly hysterical.

After all, she was not as mature and rational as she thought.

What Sister Hua meant was to bring Mo Guanyin back to the Xingfan Courtyard and raise her until the day she died.

The empress dowager said that there was no way to save her, even if Hua Jiujin wanted to, it was her destiny.

However, Mo Guanyin was unwilling to leave.

She stayed in Lou Xinxuan's room all day, lying on the bed, waiting to die without eating or drinking.

Due to the change of mood, due to the state of hunger strike, Mo Guanyin's health is getting worse and worse, and his life is passing faster.

There were still two months to live, but suddenly it was shortened to two weeks.

I want to die with all my heart, but I can't stop it.

Life is a consumable.

Her true love keeps her here, letting her walk to the end of her life bit by bit.

Maybe her true love didn't come and eat her entrails was the only kindness to her obsessive love.

But this kindness is worth crying for Guanyin in Hua Jiujin's opinion.

Sister Hua would go to see Mo Guanyin every day and tell her about the search for Xian Changge today.

What's the situation?

Got nothing.

Sometimes Sister Hua would sit by the bed without saying a word.

She leaned towards the head of the bed.

There happened to be a small wooden window next to the head of the bed, not too small, about the size of a person.

When Sister Hua came here, she always opened the window a gap the size of a palm, so that she could look out of the window and see the snow-covered bald trees outside the window.

Pure white snow always calms her mind.

She always closes the window when she leaves, but it doesn't get stuck.

Mo Guanyin was already skinny and out of shape.

Sister Hua is the first time to see the real 'skinny'.

It's ugly.

But she was also embarrassed to say to Mo Guanyin, "You are really ugly now".

She was really angry that Mo Guanyin made herself look like this.She also wants to say something, do something to stimulate her.She can't be the only one being stimulated.

Mo Guanyin at the moment is stimulating her, so is Yuniang who slipped out of her eyelids, and the invisible Xian Changge is also stimulating her.

Everyone is irritating her.

But looking at Mo Guanyin like this, she always felt that it was not moral.

He pursed his red lips tightly and said nothing.

Today, Sister Hua came again.

The small sandalwood chair has been placed by the bed, facing the head of the bed.

Sister Hua walked gently to the head of the bed, and opened the window with a hand-width gap.

The snow on the bare trees was as usual, pure in color, and showed no signs of damage.This is different from the snow on the road. The snow on the road has been trampled dirty, with messy traces, and it looks really bad.

She stepped back and sat in the chair with her hands resting on the armrests, her slender fingers hanging down, she was really elegant.

After being subdued by the empress dowager day and night, her temperament seemed to have turned upside down. She was no longer like before, eager to court, eager to show off, and eager to attract attention.

She is beautiful, soft, and coquettish, so charming that she wants to be clingy.

Who are you sticking to?Empress Dowager.

The best thing is that the empress dowager can strip her naked every day and hug her wherever she goes.

She leaned softly in her arms, tossing and turning.

"Do you regret it?"

Through that gap, her water-like eyes looked at the snow outside.

The room was warm, the heating wanted to escape through the cracks in the window, and the cold wanted to come in from the outside. The two breaths met and fought to the death.

Mo Guanyin's pale lips moved, but there was no sound.

Sister Hua read it out, it was 'no regrets'.

"Ah."

It's just her 'no regrets', and outsiders like them have to bear some consequences.

This is really unfair, how come this kind of thing has to drag the family.

'Tuk-tuk' twice.knocking.

"Sister Hua, there is news..."

Lilith's voice outside the door sounded weird.

"I'll see you again tomorrow."

She got up, walked out, opened and closed the door.

When I left, I forgot to close the window.

After Sister Hua left, a cold wind blew in through the open window.

A large chunk of snow suddenly fell from the bare trees outside.

Mo Guanyin's lifeless eyeballs moved.

……

"what news?"

"We found someone who saw Yugui and Xiulian dealing with each other..."

"Well, who did he see?"

"..."

Lilith's expression became weird, with a hint of fear.

"The man said, it's a man and a woman. The woman looks like a young lady in a boudoir, carrying a small suitcase, and dressed luxuriously. The man looks like a rich man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a suit, and using a silver snake-headed cane... ..."

Dan Zhu.

Bai Zhi.

Hua Jiujin pursed her red lips, and her expression instantly became ugly.

She restrained her charming red lips into a straight line.

long silence.

"Do you know where they went?"

"Sisters and brothers have been sent to chase..."

She stammered, and what she didn't say was "I shouldn't be able to catch up..."

They have fought against Dan Zhu and Bai Zhi, so they know how powerful they are.

If it hadn't been for the empress dowager, none of them could have escaped, only death.

There is no clue about the current matter, but it involves the two of them.

The motive is unknown.

Layers of mystery.

It seems that there is no way to discuss this matter in a short time.

"Let's go back, you call someone to carry Avalokitesvara away."

Lilith turned around to call for someone, and they opened the door and went in.

In an instant, Lilith ran out again.

"Sister Hua! Guanyin is gone!"

"Why, she was still on the bed when I went in just now. She is in such a physical condition that she can't get up by herself..."

Hua Jiujin frowned and walked into the room.

The bed consisted of a messy, wrinkled bunk.

nobody.

The rotten smell still permeated the room.

With her long fingers resting on the back of the chair beside her bed, she looked out naturally, and a large piece of snow fell off the bare tree.

The small wooden window was open.

Still open.

It's just that she only opened the palm-width gap, who is it...

She turned her face sideways, "Have you ever opened the window?"

"No."

"...I opened it." Hua Jiujin said, "The Guanyin book doesn't have much work left...so let's go and go back after calling someone."

Lilith was silent for a moment, agreeing.

They all returned to the Xingfan Courtyard, and their lives were peaceful again.

It's just that some changes have been made in the deployment of tasks in the courtyard.

Sister Hua sent a group of people to continue to follow Danzhu and Baizhi's route, and if they couldn't find it, they continued to search, and when they found it, they stood still and continued to follow.This is her order.

She sent another team to search the waterway in the back mountain of Huali Nong in a low-key manner.

Rest moderately, search constantly.

can't stop.

For the rest, life went on.

No matter how much unwillingness, no matter how much anger and heartache, they are hidden with another heavy snow, and fall heavily in the depths of the heart, waiting for the day when the ground breaks.
