across mountains and seas

When the effect of Mafeisan faded, it was already night in Haicheng.

"Hiss..." When Liu Xi opened his eyes, he couldn't help gasping for breath. After the bone setting, the remaining pain was even worse. With the tight bamboo clips, no matter how much Liu Xi could endure the pain, he couldn't hold it back at this time. He cried out in pain.

"It's good when Xi'er wakes up." Aunt Hong breathed a sigh of relief, got up and hugged Liu Xi with a big cloak, covered Liu Xi's body, walked to the door, and said to the two people outside, " come in."

Jing Tan and Jing Yuan seemed to have waited for a long time, and finally got Aunt Hong's approval, and they walked in happily.

Jing Yuan glanced at Liu Xi's exposed feet, and seeing the bamboo clips on them, he could feel the pain, "Sister-in-law has suffered this time."

Jing Tan didn't say a word, his eyes were full of distress.

Aunt Hong told the maid: "Go to Mr. Hai and get the soup."

"Yes." The servant girl withdrew.

Aunt Hong sat by the bed, wiped the fine sweat off Liu Xi's face with a clean veil, and said in a solemn voice, "You all saw Xi'er, she still needs to rest, you all go back, you mother is watching , Xi'er can be raised well."

Jing Tan was stunned for a moment, "Mother, I still have something to ask my sister-in-law."

"I'll ask after Xi'er recovers. Didn't you see that Xi'er is still in pain? I'm not sensible!" Aunt Hong immediately vetoed Jing Tan, "Xiao Wu is not here for a few days, you follow Uncle Jiu to patrol the city well, you understand?"

Jing Tan couldn't say no to Aunt Hong, he just wanted to stay here for a while, and it would be good to have a few words with his sister-in-law.

Jing Yuan was worried that Jing Tan's performance was too much, and his mother saw the clue, so he quickly hooked Jing Tan's shoulder, "Second brother, what mother said is right, let sister-in-law take good care of it, let's go patrol the city!"

"But..." Jing Tan hesitated, met Aunt Hong's sharp eyes, had to lower her head, and followed Jing Yuan unwillingly.

Aunt Hong looked at Jing Tan's back, worried, and hoped that she was overthinking everything.

"Where has Ah Lan been these few days?" Liu Xi couldn't help asking.

Aunt Hong comforted Liu Xi, "She went to find a good doctor for you, and she said she would be back in a month." After a short pause, "He is already the head of the Jing family, so it's good to go out and practice for a while, otherwise he will never grow up." big kid."

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, but was still ready to ask, "Which doctor is she looking for?"

Aunt Hong knew that Liu Xi had such a temperament, so she told her straightforwardly, "Xiao Wu went to the ghost gate to find a ghost doctor, but he promised me that he would never force himself, and he will come back if he can't find it."

"Nonsense!" Liu Xi's heart suddenly hung up, "The ghost doctor has lived in the ghost gate for many years, where the mountains are steep and poisonous miasma is everywhere. Alan went there... It is a narrow escape!" Liu Xi struggled to get out of bed , "I'd rather be limp than let her take risks!"

Aunt Hong held her down and comforted her: "Xi'er, don't worry, Xiao Wu brought someone with her."

"Even if you bring thousands of troops, it's useless! Aunt Hong, you don't know how dangerous it is!" Liu Xi grabbed Aunt Hong's sleeves tightly and said seriously, "She messes around, and Aunt Hong lets her mess around! "

Aunt Hong smiled gently, "Don't worry, I said he brought people with him. I have given orders to those people. If he takes risks by force, I will beat him unconscious and tie him back."

"Even the guards can't beat her." Liu Xi shook her head.

Aunt Hong was rather shocked, "Xi'er, are you hiding something from me?"

It's not easy for Liu Xi to talk to Aunt Hong about the dual cultivation in "Fish and Dragon Dance Jue". After she and Jing Lan came back from Hailongling, they also mentioned some adventures in it, but the dual cultivation was an agreement between the two of them, and no one could agree. Can't say it.

Aunt Hong saw that she was hesitant to say anything, since Liu Xi didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't force her to say it, she just heard her raise her voice: "Come on, go find Uncle Jiu, let him catch up with Xiao Wu quickly, and tie him up." I want to tie Xiao Wu back."

Uncle Jing Jiu came out, and maybe coaxed and deceived, he could tie Jing Lan back.

Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she calmly looked into Aunt Hong's puzzled eyes, "I've been to the area around Ghost Gate before, so I know how dangerous that area is."

It's just that she went there in her previous life.

Liu Xi used to be the first daughter of the Liu family in Xishan, she knew that the ghost gate was not surprising, but Aunt Hong was only surprised by other things.

She didn't speak, just looked at Liu Xi quietly.

Liu Xi knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only half-truth: "Alan and I not only learned the art of controlling beasts in Hailong Mausoleum, but also learned a secret book of martial arts called "Fish and Dragon Dance Jue". "

Aunt Hong nodded, "Yes."

"This secret book is not the best way to cultivate internal strength. When I first practiced this skill, it was only because Alan was poisoned by spider poison. After practicing it, I can be invulnerable to all poisons, so we have no choice..." Liu Xi looked at it quietly With a glance at Aunt Hong, she began to turn against customers, "Aunt Hong, you also know that I am a widowed wife, and A Lan is my uncle. Practicing exercises is a fair thing, but if it is spread, others will not think so. If it is said that I and Alan practice this skill together, then...my reputation is not a big deal, Alan is the Patriarch of the Dongjing Clan, so she must not have the slightest stigma."

Aunt Hong was mentioned in her heart, how could she not know that Liu Xi is a sensible girl?The bewilderment in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep worry, "It's hard for you."

"Aunt Hong, I've thought about it for a long time." Liu Xi held Aunt Hong's hand and said sincerely, "Give me a letter to release my wife."

Aunt Hong was startled, "You girl, why are you talking about this?"

"Ah Lan should have given me the wife release letter, but spreading it out will make her seem a bit colder." Liu Xi reluctantly moved forward and lay her pillow on Aunt Hong's lap, "A Duo treats me with deep affection." Sincerely, I am willing to keep a filial piety for him in Haicheng for three years. After three years, Ah Lan must be very promising. If I fall in love with someone and want to remarry, I will go out in a dignified way and marry someone else's family. , people will not look down on me."

Concubine Hong sighed deeply, Liu Xi had thought so carefully, she was also a woman, Concubine Hong did not want Liu Xi to be a widow for the rest of her life.

"Okay, Aunt Hong wrote to you." Aunt Hong gently wiped Liuxi's fine sweat, "The three years of the girl's family are a great time, alas."

Liu Xi pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "A Duo gave me a warm home, and I should give him something back, otherwise I will be guilty for the rest of my life, and even if I meet a lover, I won't be able to be happy."

Even if he married into Haicheng with other plans, Liu Xi would not let him be laughed at after his death.

Three years of filial piety is not only for the outsiders to see, but also to repay his love sincerely.

"Stupid child." Aunt Hong was moved when she heard this, and said with emotion, "You are still young, open your eyes wide and look for it carefully, don't be like me, who foolishly makes a concubine for others, and will be widowed for half a lifetime."

"The person I want to marry must be very good." Liu Xi looked into the distance, thoughtfully.

It is precisely because she is very good that she cannot make her feel guilty for the rest of her life.What she can do is to walk upright and break cleanly.

Whether Ah Lan likes her or not is one thing in the future, but if he likes her, he will be scolded by the whole family, how can Liu Xi be willing?

Aunt Hong didn't notice the look of longing in Liu Xi's eyes, she smiled slightly, "Silly Xi'er, a moment's good may not necessarily be a lifetime good."

Liu Xi smiled without saying a word, if she lost her sight in this life, she would poke dozens of holes in her fiercely.

If there is one less heartless person in the world, there will be fewer girls cheating, which is just right.

just.

Liu Xi recalled every detail of getting along with Jing Lan, that silly girl was shy at every turn, she must not be able to fool any girl, and she was afraid that she would fool herself if she was not careful.

Thinking of Jing Lan, she subconsciously went to find the little rabbit that was in her hand.

Aunt Hong asked, "Xi'er, what are you looking for?"

"Alan gave me the rabbit." Liu Xi replied anxiously.

Aunt Hong sighed helplessly, and said that Xiao Wu didn't grow up, and Xi'er was also a child who didn't grow up.

"Just put it next to the pillow." Aunt Hong picked it up for her and handed it to Liu Xi, "Xiao Wu, this baby, hasn't grown up yet, so he gave this as a gift."

Liu Xi held the rabbit in her hand, she smiled and said: "It's rare for her to give me a gift, even if it's just a piece of grass, it's still a treasure to me."

Aunt Hong didn't think too deeply, she murmured: "It seems that he really recognizes you as his sister-in-law."

It's just that Liu Xi doesn't want to be her sister-in-law anymore.

"It's not easy." Liu Xi was filled with emotion.

Aunt Hong didn't expect that Xiao Wu would be so awkward for so long, but the whole family enjoyed themselves, that's good.

"Xi'er, take a good rest, I'll go to the book case and write you a letter to release your wife."

"Aunt Hong, can you wait for Ah Lan to come back and give it to me in front of everyone in Haicheng?"

Liu Xi looked at her steadfastly, with earnest eyes.

Aunt Hong knew what Liu Xi meant. She didn't take the wife release letter secretly, but after taking the wife release letter openly, she kept mourning for Jing Duo for three years with affection and righteousness.

This is different from the meaning of releasing the wife's letter after three years of filial piety.

"Okay, when Ah Lan comes back, I will push you to the ancestral hall with a wooden cart and give it to you in front of everyone."

Liu Xi nodded gratefully and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Hong."

"Silly girl, thank you for everything, no matter you are A Duo's daughter-in-law or not, in my heart, you are my family, you are my half daughter, and I will not let you be wronged." Aunt Hong was actually relieved. In one breath, keeping filial piety for three years means that Liuxi will have to wear hemp and mourning for three years.Liuxi lived in Haicheng for the past three years, and it was justifiable. Even if Jing Tan and Jing Yuan were not married, the world would not talk nonsense about a filial widowed sister-in-law.

In this way, Aunt Hong can also choose a daughter-in-law for her two sons with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take another look at Liu Xi.

The daughter-in-law in the future must be [-]% as good as Liuxi, be fierce if she should be fierce, and be gentle if she should be gentle. If Jing Tan and Jing Yuan can find such a daughter-in-law, it will be considered their blessing.

At dawn, Uncle Jing Jiu rushed back from the outside in a hurry, and brought back even worse news - Jing Lan abandoned the ten guards who followed him halfway, and rode alone, not knowing which direction to go The gate of hell is closed.

"This little Wu is really messing around!" Aunt Hong was completely anxious now.

No matter how anxious Liu Xi was, she couldn't help Jing Lan. With her feet like this, it was impossible for her to catch up with Jing Lan.She could only urge Mr. Hai to get her better soon, and secretly said: "Alan, see how I will deal with you!"

The author has something to say: Gengwen~sister-in-law is starting to act!

Xiao Wu: My ears are so hot, I feel like someone is talking about me?

Liu Xi: Just wait, come back and see how I deal with you!
