a single-handed husband

Bei Xue stood at the entrance of the house, looking at the altar from time to time.

A girl dressed as a witch came over and said, "My lord, go and change quickly, the ceremony is about to begin."

"I know." Bei Xue smiled, "There's no rush, I'll go when Wang'er comes back."

The witch had no choice but to step back and wait.

"Aniang!" The boy happily ran over from outside, crashed into Beixue's arms, and said coquettishly, "Aniang, today is Wang'er's birthday, what gift does Aniang prepare?"

"You!" Bei Xue smiled and flicked his forehead lightly, "You're still acting like a baby in front of people when you're too old."

"Not too old, in front of A Niang, Wang'er will always be a child! A Niang, do you have a present?"

"Wang'er is so obsessed with it, of course there are."

"Yeah! Mommy is the best!"

"My lord," the witch next to me bowed, "Go and change."

"Okay." Bei Xue nodded, turned around and walked into the house.

Yan Wang hurriedly followed, sometimes jumping in front of Beixue, sometimes behind her, and said, "Aniang, can you give Wang'er a gift first?"

Beixue smiled and said, "Wang'er, this is a ceremony for you, let Auntie change her clothes first."

"Then, change your clothes, can you give them to me?"

"of course."

"Then Wang'er will wait for Mommy for now!"

Bei Xue shook her head with a smile, and went into the inner room to change clothes.

A middle-aged man entered the door.

"Uncle Yuan!" Yan Wang happily greeted him, "Does Uncle Yuan have a present for Wang'er?"

Yuan Feng smiled and said: "How dare I not prepare your gift? Wait a minute, you will know."

Yan Wang pursed his lips, turned around resentfully and looked at the door of the inner room.

After a while, Bei Xue and several witches came out.The well-dressed Beixue looks like a celestial being.Yan Wang was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said, "Aniang is so beautiful!"

Bei Xue smiled lightly and handed him something.It was a white ghost mask, the workmanship was very delicate, and phosphorescence was shining at the corners of the eyes. "At the Lantern Festival last time, Auntie saw that you liked it very much, so she made one for you as a present. Wanger, do you still like it?"

Yan Wang's face was full of surprises, he took the mask carefully, nodded heavily, and said, "I like it!"

"Put it on if you like it." Bei Xue said with a smile, "Aniang will help you."

Yan Wang handed her the mask and squatted down a little.The current him is already taller than Bei Xue.

After putting on the mask, he couldn't wait to get up and asked, "Does it look good?"

Bei Xue nodded with a smile.Yan Wang turned to Miko and Yuan Feng again, and asked the same question.Everyone smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Wang'er." Beixue took his hand, "Let's go, the ceremony is about to begin."

The white clothes danced and the music bell swayed gently.Amidst the low groans of the ghosts, the witch fell to the ground slowly.After a brief silence, the people cried bitterly.

The sacrificial dance is over, but the witch has not woken up yet.Everyone stood beside him hesitantly, a little at a loss.

"Uncle Yuan," Yan Wang pulled Yuan Feng's sleeve and whispered, "Why isn't Aunt awake yet?"

"Sorcerer, already sacrificed."

"Isn't that in the dance?" Yan Wang looked at him.

In his eyes was the witch who fell to the ground, his face was crying bitterly, and the corner of his mouth was filled with a terrifying smile.

Yan Wang unconsciously took a step back, shivered, and hurried up to the altar.

"Auntie! Auntie!"

no response.

Trembling fingers probed her breath.

No.

Tears were about to come out, her chest suddenly rose and fell violently, Yan Wang was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The ups and downs continued upwards, throat, face, until a black stream gushed out of his mouth.

There were screams, and everyone backed away.Yan Wang hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back, watching with difficulty countless bugs pouring out of Beixue's mouth.

This worm, he knew, was Uncle Yuan's Gu worm.

Trying his best to hold back the discomfort in his body, Yan Wang struggled to stand up, his hands condensed.

"Do you know why?"

A cold voice sounded behind him.The body froze.

"Because of you."

The mask on his face suddenly came loose and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Don't you know how special you are?"

"Don't you know how much she has endured to keep you alive?"

"Don't you know? Today is your last day."

"She begged me to renew your life, using her body to help me raise Gu, and wanted to exchange one for one."

"She begged in every possible way, and I agreed."

"I have great admiration for her courage and am grateful for the trust she has placed in me."

"Now that she's dead, you can live on, and, maybe, for a long, long time, beyond your limit."

"Because, after all, the flesh and blood of a witch is too sacred, and it always has unexpected effects."

"So, I don't want to."

The words stopped suddenly.Gu worms converged and rushed onto Yan Wang's body.

"Wang'er, Uncle Yuan is doing this for your own good. You killed your mother, and you still have to live in the world with self-blame and boredom for a long time. Give you to Uncle Yuan, and Uncle Yuan will bear it on your behalf. In this way, your mother and son will also live forever." To be reunited at the fountain."

Can't move.He watched countless worms pour into his mouth.fell to the ground.

One glance was his pitiful and hideous face.

At a glance, it was her beautiful and terrifying face.

At a glance, it is a ghost mask with faint phosphorescence.

no tears.no pain.Only the clear feeling of the heart being gnawed.Until, numbness spread all over the body, leaving only darkness in front of his eyes.

Terrifying laughter echoed in the air, and it lasted for a long time.

Others either stayed where they were or fled in all directions.Yuan Feng drove the Gu worm, and for a moment, the screams overshadowed the laughter.

Thousands of insects chirped, accompanied by the sound of gnawing, like the laughter of ghosts.

for a long time.

The black air surged.Yuan Feng looked over.

With pale arms, he sat up with his empty body propped up, and his blurred eyes didn't know where to look.

"Oh? You are really surprising. What is this? You won't let me go even if you're a ghost? Or don't you let yourself go?"

Yan Wang ignored him.Her confused eyes scanned the surroundings, and gradually stopped on Bei Xue's body.A condensate.

With his hands on the ground, he crawled towards her.

Another condensate.He looked down at the mask he touched.

The black air suddenly exploded and dispersed in all directions.Yuan Feng's face changed slightly, and he took a few steps back.The Gu worms dropped their gnawing bodies one after another and flocked towards Yan Wang.

Gu worms climbed onto his body again, but they were not as concentrated as before, but bit the flesh whenever they saw it.

Yan Wangji slowly picked up the mask as if he didn't feel them.When the worm in his hand touched the mask, he suddenly backed away, not daring to approach it.

"Do you like that mask that much?" Yuan Feng sneered, "Don't care about them? Oh—I forgot, you are already dead, so you really don't need to care so much."

Yan Wang tremblingly put on the mask.

"Wang'er, when Uncle Yuan talked to you, he had to reply anyway. You forgot Bei Xue's teachings so quickly? Your name is just right."

Except for the face, the Gu worms had almost eaten up his body.The ground was stained red with blood, and the clothes that were originally pure white had already been soaked in blood, but now Yan Wang was just a white bone covered with scraps of meat and rags.Between the skeletons, figures of Gu worms flew around.

Seeing that he was still ignoring him and just kept climbing towards Beixue, Yuan Feng mocked: "Wang'er, look at your terrifying appearance, do you still dare to touch Beixue? Look at her appearance again, it's terrible." It's all because of you!"

Yan Wang gently put his hand on Beixue's forehead.

The blood mist surged up, and the Gu worm left him in an instant.

Eight white skeletons sprang out from the blood mist and circled around his hand.One of them flew out and blended into Beixue's eyebrows.

Yuan Feng's expression changed, but he calmed down again immediately.He glanced at the fleeing Gu worm with disdain, then turned his gaze to Yan Wang to see what he was going to do.

The skeleton merged into Beixue's body, and instantly burst into blood, covering the two of them.When the blood light dissipated, Bei Xue had disappeared, only a blood-red skeleton floating in front of Yan Wang.

The skeleton faced Yan Wang and suddenly moved.Flying around his body, the skeleton returned to him.The blood disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance, but the gap in his heart could not be filled.

Yan Wang looked at the skeleton and suddenly smiled.

"Forgetting, I hope that I will forget my troubles and be happy forever."

Yan Wang stood up, and the blood skull returned to his fingertips.

"You think it's just right, and I think so too." Looking at Yuan Feng, "It's just that Yan Wang is dead."

"Oh?" Yuan Feng smiled, "Then what are you?"

The phosphorescent mask covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

"spirits."

With a hand, the eight skeletons flew around together. "Eight Fang sprites, listen to my order and burn all the living things here."

The black energy dispersed, accompanied by blood energy, covering everything.

A figure suddenly rushed into the blood mist.

"Yan Wang!"

Squint your eyes. "Master?"

"Didn't you say you came back to celebrate your birthday? What's going on?"

Bright yellow flames rolled up into the air.

"It has nothing to do with Master."

He was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Where's Bei Xue?"

"died."

Pupils shrink.

"I killed it."

"Ah Wang..."

"He is also dead." Yan Wang stared at him and said word by word, "I tried every means to prevent him from looking for death, but in the end he died at the hands of the person I loved and trusted the most. Before he died, he remembered In a word. Master, you don’t have to worry about him anymore.”

In silence, Yuan Feng left quietly.The flames disappeared, and all the skeletons returned to Yan Wang's hands.The black air suddenly dissipated, except for the two of them, everything disappeared.

The mask shook slightly, Yan Yao waved his sleeves to shatter the memory.

"Sister..." Han Ling looked at him and said in a low voice.

Yan Yao looked at him, smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine, why are you fine?"

"No!" Han Ling quickly shook his head, "Sister, what is it that you want to take?"

Yan Yao raised his hand and said with a smile, "This."

A crystal transparent skeleton, the same size as those eight skeletons.

"This is……"

"my heart."

Han Ling was startled. "It's not being..."

"Uncle Yuan is dead." Yan Yao put away his smile, "I let him slip away at that time, and let him live for so long with my heart, so it was a loss for his care for me and Auntie. He died , this heart will come back here."

"Is it really a heart?"

"It is a praying skeleton enshrined by generations of gods and witches. Because it has absorbed too much spiritual power and has powerful power, it is a holy object for witches."

"Why then?"

"Master said, I was not born as a human being. If the witch gave birth to me, it would be regarded as an unknown and bring disaster to the people. They stopped the witch and hoped to kill me before I was born. She couldn't bear it, In the end, I stole the Prayer Skeleton and forcibly turned me into a human being, and I was born. Only Uncle Yuan and Master know about this."

"Isn't my sister's master that powerful person? Why is it related to my sister's mother?"

"I don't know either." Yan Yao paused, "When I remember, I was already seven or eight years old. I was taken back to the Yaoyong Mountain by my master. It was a long time before I realized that I was the son of a witch."

Yan Yao led Han Yao to the place where she came in.

"Sister, are you going back now?"

"What should be seen has been seen, and what should be taken has been taken. There is nothing here anymore."

"Sister, I..." Han Ling grabbed him, hesitant to speak.

Yan Yao stopped, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"

"I just heard my sister say before, "Do everything possible to prevent him from finding his own death". Sister, were you the same as me before?"

"..." Yan Yao twitched her lips, and opened up her yin and yang, "No, I'm not as good as you."

"sister--"

"If you talk any more, I'll leave you here!" Yan Yao threatened by raising the hand he was holding.

Han Ling hurriedly closed her mouth with a smile, and obediently hid under the yin and yang.

Back in the forest again, Yan Yao put away Yin and Yang, turned around and looked at the boundless forest behind him.

"Let's go." Yan Yao looked at Han Ling and said with a smile.

Han Ling looked at him and smiled.

It was already light, but the forest was still a little dark.Yan Yao took Han Yao's hand and walked slowly in the forest.

"Xiao Ling, let me tell you something."

"Ok?"

"I've been to the Han Mansion, I know what happened to you before."

Han Ling paused.

"Without your consent, sorry."

"Didn't my sister pull me to see her past?" Han Ling said softly, "Compared to my sister, Han Ling is nothing."

"Everyone has their own despair."

Look at each other.

"Different life, different despair. I have no right to belittle you, and you can't belittle yourself. I have seen your past, and in exchange, I will tell you everything about me."

"elder sister……"

"As long as you don't dislike it. That's not right!" Yan Yao suddenly frowned, "The length of time is totally different, it's not worth it!"

Han Ling laughed "poof".

"Sister, I don't have to watch it."

"No, it's necessary, or I'll feel bad!"

"Okay, okay, as long as my sister is happy."

……

"Sister, when shall we go back?"

"Then now. Yin Yang!"

"Fly again..."

"Otherwise? Oh yes."

"Sister, what are you doing!"

"In this way, you don't have to be afraid! Don't worry, I will carry you up after you die."

"elder sister……"

"It's okay, I don't feel sick after watching too much."

"..."
