The Indifferent Prince's Substitute

It's the spider spirit from the mountain last time.Lin Yan took a closer look and found that there was another long burn on the spider spirit's body, this time it was not on the waist and abdomen, but on the back of the shoulder.The blood stained the entire shoulder, which looked really scary.

"Please help me heal my wounds again." The spider spirit smiled at him with a charming and charming smile, as if the long bleeding wound on her shoulder had no effect on her.

There was no one around, so Lin Yan grabbed a piece of sprout from his fingertips and handed it to her, hesitantly asked: "Why are you injured again? Did you get hurt by some monster?"

The spider spirit stretched out his hand to smear vine juice on the wound, lowered his eyelashes, and smiled faintly, "It's not a demon."

Lin Yan was surprised, "Not a demon?"

"Little tree vine." The spider spirit looked up at him, "I still need your help."

Lin Yan sneaked out of the palace with the little oriole in her arms, and walked with Ah Zhu in the alley paved with bluestone slabs.

The spider spirit said her name was A Zhu, and asked Lin Yan to accompany her to a place to find a man named Zhang An.

The alleys are old, and the gaps in the bluestone slabs are covered with blue moss.The alley is winding and quiet, few passers-by pass by.Ah Zhu stood two steps away from a wooden door, turned her head and smiled at Lin Yan, "Stay away, don't hurt you."

Lin Yan stepped back two steps to the side, looked up at the wooden door in front of him, it was ordinary, with a bronze mirror nailed high on the door leaf.It should have been a long time ago. The bronze mirror has become loose and rusty, and some strange words are engraved on it.

"The bronze mirror is covered with an anti-demon charm." Ah Zhu explained, waving his thin sleeves, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the quiet alley, a bright light flashed on the rusty bronze mirror, fierce Chopping at Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu fell to the ground in embarrassment.At the same time, with a "click", the already crumbling bronze mirror fell to the ground and was shattered.

"Go in." A long burn appeared on Ah Zhu's waist and abdomen. She took out the unused vine buds from her bosom, squeezed out the vine juice and applied it to the wound, took a breath, raised her hand and waved it in front of her. Put on clean clothes.

With a pale face, she walked in front of Lin Yan, lightly tapped Lin Yan and Xiao Huangque's foreheads with her fingertips, then turned and stepped over the broken mirror on the ground, walked to the wooden door, pushed lightly, and the wooden door opened with a bang.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed behind her and stepped into the wooden door.

There is a small garden inside the door, it can be seen that it is often taken care of, it is very clean and delicate.It seems that I have been here before, and Ah Zhu walks familiarly, without any hesitation.

Through the small garden with no one, there is a promenade outside the arch.There were people coming and going on the promenade, their faces were dignified, and they were in a hurry.

"The old man of this family is dying soon?"

In front of Lin Yan and Ah Zhu, there were two middle-aged men in robes, whispering while walking.

"Look at the atmosphere in this mansion, I think it's probably true. But this old man is almost eighty, and he has lived long enough."

"It's not. Speaking of this old man's life, he really envies others. He loves and harmonizes with the deceased old lady, and his children are filial and competitive. There is no one more blessed than him."

"Hey, this old man's life is more exciting than what you know. When he was young, he married a spider spirit."

"Spider spirit?!"

"That's not true. The old lady who has passed away is the old lady's cousin. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship. Someone in the old lady's family was an official. When she was 15 years old, her family committed a crime, and the old lady's family was sent to Lingnan. One year Afterwards, the old man's family betrothed him to the young lady from Wang's winery."

"Speaking of this Wang's winery, it was quite famous in the capital 50 years ago. This Miss Wang was also raised pampered, but for some reason, she became that spider spirit."

"In the first two years, the old lady and the spider spirit pretending to be Miss Wang lived in harmony, but in the third year, the case of the old lady's family was settled, and they returned to the capital from Lingnan. It's just that the conditions in Lingnan are difficult, and the old lady's family They all died on the road, and the old lady was the only one who returned to the capital. And because of the difficult years in Lingnan, the old lady contracted an incurable disease."

"Thinking about the old friendship, the old man took the old lady into the mansion and strictly abided by the etiquette between men and women. But the spider spirit couldn't tolerate the old lady, and secretly poisoned the old lady's medicine bowl, trying to kill the old lady. People are dying."

"Fortunately, the servants saw her and discovered her identity as a spider spirit."

"The old man was horrified, and invited the mage to come to the house to collect the demon. The spider spirit was also very powerful, and he was defeated after fighting the mage for a day and a night. It's just that the mage underestimated the spider spirit. On the way to leave, he let the spider spirit run away The old man's family was worried that the spider spirit would come back for revenge, so they asked the mage to engrave a lot of charms at home."

"No wonder I see that there are mirrors with strange words engraved on many doors in this mansion. It turned out to be to guard against that spider spirit. This monster is really abominable, and it's really great to meet. But why did she stare at the old man?"

"Who knows, it's just that when the spider spirit was subdued by the mage, with blood and tears in his eyes, he cried to the old man, Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang, don't you recognize me..."

The two whispered all the way, as if they were unaware of the two people following behind them.

Go through the promenade and enter a spacious yard.There were more people in the courtyard, and they all stood in the courtyard with solemn expressions.The door of one of the rooms was wide open, and a weeping woman and child were being helped in and out.

Ah Zhu only paused for a moment, then walked straight into the door.Lin Yan hurriedly followed behind her.

There was also a bronze mirror hanging on the door, and before the strong light appeared, Ah Zhu shook the bronze mirror off with a wave of his hand.With a click, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard. Everyone looked blankly at the empty doorway, and the copper mirror shattered to the ground.

Zhang An was lying on the bed, having difficulty breathing, and his chest was wheezing.He is very old, his eyes and ears are not working well, listening to the faint cries of his family members beside the bed, he looks back on his life.

His life can be called happy.He mingled with his cousin, Qin Se, in peace and prosperity, and gave birth to three children, all of whom were filial and upright.If there are any twists and turns and flaws, it is probably that when he was young, the wife he married was actually a spider spirit.

Closing my eyes, the voice of the spider spirit weeping towards him after being subdued by the mage emerged in my mind, 50 years later, but it is still clear in my ears, "Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang, don't you recognize me? Say yes to me!" Marrying you as your wife, how could you forget me?"

He followed the rules all his life, how could he meet a spider spirit where he met, and how could he be married to a demon for life? It's just nonsense.

There was a faint sound outside the door, he opened his eyes, turned his head with difficulty, and saw a strange woman and a strange boy standing in a room full of Wu Yaya's kneeling family.

He was old, and his eyes were not up to par, but at this moment, his eyes seemed to become extraordinarily clear, and he could clearly see the delicate face of that woman.

Oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of watery autumn eyes, sparkling and moving.

Fifty years ago, he was at the bank of Qiushui Lake, and when he turned around by chance, he saw the young lady of the Wang family smiling at him across the sparkling lake.

Fifty years later, the beautiful lady, whose face has not changed a bit, is watching him quietly through the crowd.Only this time, his eyes were cold, as if he was just visiting an old friend, and he didn't smile at him.

Is this spider spirit here to take revenge on him? 50 years later, it's finally here.He was gasping for breath, his chest seemed to have a hole, and he was wheezing and wheezing. He watched Ah Zhu pass through the crowd, walk to the bed, bend down in front of him, and gently put down a molan.

Molan, Molan!His eyes widened, his breathing suddenly became short of breath, he picked up Molan with trembling and skinny hands like old bark, and stretched it tremblingly before his eyes.

Time passed quickly in front of me, and the 16-year-old myself held up a molan flower to the girl in front of me, and said seriously: "You hurt my face to save me, no matter whether your face is good or not, wait until you go down the mountain to find me , I will definitely marry you!"

The girl in front of her blushed, took Mo Lan and said in a low voice, "Don't forget what you said."

"I'll never forget it!" the 16-year-old myself swore.

But he still forgot after all, it was only four years.The spider spirit whom he avoided like a snake and scorpion was actually the girl who had saved him back then.

He struggled to look at the door, and at the girl at the door.

Ah Zhu stood at the door, turning her head back for the last time.She ignored the crying voices around her, and looked at her Zhang Lang from afar.This gaze passed through 50 years, cutting off her last trace of love in the world.

The two of them stepped out of the room, and after a while, there was a sudden burst of moaning and crying behind them.

"The old man has gone!" Someone exclaimed in grief.

A spider didn't turn back a step.
