Crown Prince

As soon as he said this, Li Heng frowned and looked at the child in his arms: "Could it be that Du Songhe is suspicious of you? This person is really stubborn, but as a doctor, he talks about it all day long... he actually said to a baby Such nonsense!"

He said to Li Ying seriously: "Don't listen to his nonsense, a person dies like a lamp goes out, how can he stay in this world?" He carried Li Ying through the front door and walked towards the back garden, making up his mind to ask him later. Go to the infirmary and teach that person a lesson.I think he joined the army when he was a teenager, and he killed countless people in Mobei in his early years, and he never saw ghosts seeking his life in the middle of the night-if even people like them who have countless lives in their hands can live well, what ghosts and gods are afraid? It's all just fiction.

Li Ying didn't make a sound.Jun Songhe did say something to him, but he himself confirmed it himself.

Doctor Na Du went to find him and told him that Wang Han had a fatal wound on his chest.

Just this sentence, no more, no less.

He knew that this young doctor must not be an ordinary person.Even if the matter of Wang Han is indeed strange, which ordinary person would tell this to a child who is only five years old?But Du Songhe said it. Not only did he say it, but he also treated Li Ying as if he was dealing with someone of the same age.

Li Ying felt uneasy, he thought that Wang Han was not injured, but he was bedridden because of the severe blow.Dad was wounded—and a fatal wound?He couldn't help thinking of the second day here, when his father woke up, he didn't look like a seriously injured person at all, and he was still hugging himself to his chest... If there was a real injury, how could he act as if nothing had happened?If nothing happened...

He couldn't help but recall those ghost stories and horror movies he watched in his previous life, could it be ghosts?Is it like in "Painted Skin"? !

Immediately after that, he did two things. The first thing was to ask Xiaoyuan, and he learned that his father had been unable to eat for the past two days. house.Li Ying secretly turned pale after sticking it on his father's chest.Hypothermia can be said to be a sequela of blood loss, but if a person loses a heartbeat, isn't he a zombie or something... Wang Han has all these two things, and he has no vitality in his body.

Li Ying was talking to Wang Han, trying to figure out the changes in his expression and emotions.But apart from lying to him that the soup was too hot, all the emotions seemed to come from the heart, without any falsehood.My heart can't help but cool down.

At this moment, being hugged by Li Hengsheng, he slowly approached the row of houses in the back garden, his heart beating faster and faster.He really didn't know how to face his own father. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but the uneasiness simmering in his heart made him hold back tears.It's fine if it's really an evil ghost, but if it's really Wang Han who doesn't want to leave him and Erlang behind, so he doesn't realize he's dead—what should I do?He can pretend that he didn't notice this, but what should he do after a long time?

"Put...let me down." Li Ying tugged at Li Heng and said listlessly.

Li Hengsheng was used to seeing that he was not big or small, so he didn't care, he patted his forehead and let him go to the ground as he said.The child's voice is soft and milky, and although he has a gloomy appearance, he is still cute.

"To see your father?" Li Heng lowered his head and asked him.

Li Ying waved his hands and said casually, "Go and do your own work... Dad just fell asleep, I'll go back to my room."

Li Heng let out a cry, and was about to turn around to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "How is Erlang? I heard that the surname Du went to show him the day before yesterday."

Li Ying glanced at him gloomyly, and said vaguely: "...I'm just surprised, these two days are much better..."

Lieutenant Li was extremely shrewd in combat, but since he arrived in this small county, he was like a dragon trapped in the shallows, and had to bask in the sun and doze off... Naturally, he became much duller.He didn't think about the dodging and wandering eyes on the child's face, he patted his head and went to the main room.

Li Ying went back to his and Erlang's room, laying on the bed and thinking about it over and over again, deeply thinking that he must have done a lot of evil things in his previous life, that's why God made Rang Xing the representative and punished him to come to this world Reincarnated to pay off debts.It was so easy for him to grow up to four or five years old and enter the rural school. As long as there is no accident, even if he doesn't win the top prize in the future, he can still be an official... No matter how bad it is, he can also go to a specialist to learn a skill to make money. It can make the whole family worry about food and clothing.

Well now, mother is dead, father... half-dead, and brother—he glanced helplessly at Erlang, who was sleeping beside him, his brother was scared away, and fell asleep all day like a vegetable.At the end of this family, he was the only one left intact.

Perhaps because of crying enough these days, Li Ying finally realized that he is also a grown man.He frowned, repeatedly thinking about what he could do in the future.His father is a living dead right now, and the terrible thing is that he himself is not conscious... Of course he still has to go to school, but Wang Han can no longer show himself in front of people easily, and it is hard to find a job.Erlang, he will have to wait a few days for him to find out and find some Taoist monk to summon his soul... Li Heng said that the imperial court will give them pensions, even if it is state compensation, but if the money is not in hand for a day, then they The money in my hand can't be moved easily...

Li Ying thought wildly like this, and fell asleep in a daze until midnight.

Their room was near the corner of the inner garden, and a row of green bamboos were planted outside the porch, so it was very quiet.When the wing door was pushed open with a creak, although the sound was soft, it was still very ear-piercing.

Li Ying woke up almost at the same time, staring blankly at the top of the bed.I could hear my younger brother's weak breathing, and the rustling of bamboo leaves blown by the wind outside the window.

And the gentle footsteps of another person.

Li Ying's whole body was stiff, his chubby feet were tense, and he couldn't even hold his breath involuntarily.At this moment, many things were going through his head, could it be his father cheating on the corpse, could it be... some kind of monster... He has only seen Yan Xing so far, that little black dragon and the thousand-year-old fox demon... But the ghost What…

"Are you awake?" Juniper He's elegant and slightly cunning voice suddenly sounded in front of the bed, it was very soft and low, but it still frightened Li Ying severely.

"What are you doing—" Li Yingkai was furious, and the young doctor standing beside the bed covered his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.

Du Songhe picked him up, grabbed a piece of clothing to wrap him up, and walked out. "Keep your voice down, if you make too much noise, you will startle the ghost away..."

Li Ying covered her mouth and looked at Dr. Du in surprise.After such a silence, he heard rustling sounds... It seemed to come from Dad's room?

"Don't make a sound..." Du Songhe walked quietly to the door of the next room against the night wind, and put him down: "Let you read something." After he finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, Carefully pull out the jade cork and move it to the door.Li Ying followed the lantern hanging on the porch, and saw a black bug-like thing crawl out of the bottle, and then quickly climbed up the wooden door.

Li Ying raised his head to look at the young doctor in confusion. He was wearing a green robe, with a snow-white inner shirt hanging down to his feet, and his black hair fell down softly...Ju Songhe sensed Li Ying's uneasy gaze, so he lowered his head and showed him a smile.

'look…'

Li Ying followed his line of sight to look at the door, and was shocked to find that there was a large, round, standard hole on the door, and that black, sesame-like thing was still moving rapidly along the edge of the wooden door—but now he I think that should be described as "eating" more appropriately.When he clearly saw the figure standing in the middle of the room through the big hole, he realized that Juniper He didn't want him to see the contents of the bottle, but to let him see this.

"This insect is a tung insect, and it likes tung oil the most." Juniper He brought the small porcelain bottle that smelled of tung oil close to the door, and the little insect slowly crawled back: "If you put it on the door, if you eat up the tung oil, you can sprinkle fireflies on it." Powder, peeking at the scene inside the door, the next day it was painted with tung oil and it was not visible."

Li Ying no longer listened carefully.

Because the person standing in the middle of the room is his mother, Hui Niang.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, only the faint light from the corridor penetrates into the room, and the room is filled with a faint mist. The woman is dressed in plain clothes, and the figure with her back to Li Ying is still slender and moving.

"Mother..." Li Ying murmured in his heart, his eyes became hot.

Wang Han's eyes were already red, and he just sat by the bed, unable to speak.

"Wang Lang..." Hui Niang broke down in tears.

As soon as Li Ying heard his mother's voice, he excitedly wanted to open the door and rush in, but was restrained by a pair of iron-like hands.

"Your mother is no longer a person in the yang world. Once your pure yang body breaks in, it will destroy the yin energy...how can she stay here?" Juniper's faint voice sounded from the top of his head, with a little indifference: "Wait and see When it's over, you'll know everything."

"Azheng...Azheng, you—" Wang Han had tears in his eyes, he staggered off the bed and knelt beside Hui Niang's skirt: "I'm sorry for you—"

Hui Niang leaned over and hugged her husband in her arms, crying and shaking her head.She was full of sadness but couldn't say anything, the man in her arms was cold all over, how could he be better than a dead person like her... The words she was about to say were so cruel, but for their children... for their children...

She knelt down, hugged Wang Han and cried, "Wang Lang, let's go with my concubine—"

Li Ying's head buzzed, and he stared at his little mother in disbelief.

Madam Hui... What are you talking about?She... Could it be...

Don't remember that you have two sons?

Huiniang cried and complained, telling Wang Han what she had seen and heard in the underworld.

Li Ying stood blankly outside the door, suddenly felt that he had heard a lot, but seemed to understand nothing.

"Wang."

"The time has come—"

In the cold mist came the harsh voice of ghosts from the underworld, heralding the end of everything.

The hands on the shoulders have been released at some point.Li Ying raised his head in a daze, and found that Du Songhe had retreated to the side, and the Wang couple in the room supported each other to stand up, followed a black-clothed judge who appeared at an unknown time, and walked towards the door.

"Squeak—" The wooden door opened by itself, and the mist wafted out from the room, bringing a very cold air.

The judge in black court clothes had a stern face, holding a jade wat in his hand, and walked unhurriedly. When passing by Li Ying and Li Ying, he raised the jade wat and bowed to salute - not just to anyone.

"Father...mother—" Li Ying watched Wang Han and Hui Niang walk by him, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab them, with a soft and helpless voice.

Wang Han's tall and broad shoulders froze immediately, and the woman beside him let out a low sob.However, the two only stayed for a moment, and followed the ghost to leave without hesitation. When they quickly reached the room of Li Ying and Erlang, their figures seemed to be hidden in a thick fog, and the fog cleared, leaving no trace of them.

Li Ying's small figure stood in the thick night, Juniper had already left, and he was the only one in this corridor, with a eaves lamp hanging above his head, swaying in the wind.

His small face was pale, and he gritted his teeth to resist the urge to cry.

Why overnight, things changed and people changed... Compared with the pain of losing his mother that he felt before, it was three points more painful.
