The man's pupils shrank suddenly, probably guessing what Hua Su wanted to borrow, he hesitated, and then shrank his steps back, as if to leave.

But now he is a soul that is out of the body, and this soul is hooked by Hua Su, so there is no way to go.

There was a thread in his soul, and he was forced to stay where he was by Hua Su's ghostly aura.

The man hurriedly said: "My lord, forgive me, I can't borrow this bead, I, I... I have to watch her every day."

Hua Su smiled coldly, "You look at her every day, because you don't want her to be taken away by Wuchang, and you are afraid that if she leaves, you won't be able to find her?"

The man was silent.

Hua Su fixed his gaze on him, "Do you know how much your actions have harmed her?"

This man should know, but he tried his best not to say a word, his soul was intimidated by the coercion, let alone a shot, there was no room for him to escape.

Hua Su said without hesitation: "Look at how thin her soul has become. If you consume her in the mortal world, if she stays in the mortal world for one more day, her soul will become even weaker. You can't even go to reincarnation, you can only bear this mortal yang energy and lose your soul."

The man froze, his face pale, "I, I don't want her to be lost."

Hua Su snorted softly, "But right now, aren't you pushing her to the point where her soul is gone?"

With such a sentence, the man stared straight, as if he was woken up from a dream, or struck by lightning, "I, I don't want to be like this."

"After so many years, do you not want to let her go, or do you not want to let go of yourself? You have that bead by your side, but you are not a ghost when you are out of your body, and your soul will not be damaged, but she is different, she is a ghost. "Hua Su looked cold.

When Rong Li had ever seen Hua Su admonishing others like this, he couldn't help but look at her twice more, she was really gentle and would never force her.

The man took a few steps back, "Maybe she also wishes to accompany me, that's why she came here every day, and she doesn't want to die."

"Have you asked her, she wished so, so you let her? What are you talking about, I'm afraid I won't see you. She's gone, so I really won't see you." Hua Su raised his eyelids.

The man was silent, he shouldn't have asked, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to answer.

Rong Li was listening on the side, and asked in a low voice: "What is it that can make people go out of their bodies?"

Hua Su stared at the man coldly.

The man was dumbfounded, he was locked in place and couldn't move, seeing that Rongli came with Hua Su, so he didn't ask her identity, just scratched his hair a few times with an ugly face, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Young lady, come with me. "

Rong Li turned his head to look at Hua Su, wondering if he could follow.

Seeing Hua Su nod her head, she followed, but the man's soul was floating, but she was walking.

The man entered the house through the wall, and only then remembered to open the door for her.

The room was dark, and the two windows were closed tightly. Only after the door was opened, the outside light came in.

The main house is quite spacious, with stairs on the left and right sides, and when you go upstairs, you can see a wooden bed in the upper room, and a body is lying on the bed.

Judging from the appearance, it is the body of this man, more than seven feet tall, with sword eyebrows and thick lips, which is a heroic appearance.

This body is lifeless, no different from a dead person.

As soon as the man lay down in the body, the wandering soul went back, then opened his eyes, sat up and looked towards Rongli.

Rong Xin was startled, after the man's soul lay back, she saw that the body was alive again, just like the bones of the living dead, it just came back to life.

If it is said that Hua Su met this man a hundred years ago, this man should be a hundred years old, but the age of his body seems to be in his early twenties, which is quite handsome.

The man spat out a piece of jade, which was stained with saliva.

Rong Li couldn't look directly at it, so he forced himself to look, only to see that the jade was dazzlingly white, whiter than all the white jade she had ever seen.

It's bigger than a thumb, round and smooth.

Is this what Hua Su wants to borrow?

Rong Li looked at it again and again, she didn't really want what she just took out from someone else's mouth.

The man said in a hoarse voice: "This is the thing, let me get out of the body, this is the jade bead, the ancient emperors have asked for this thing, as long as it is under the tongue, the body will not die, the soul will not disperse, it will not only live long, but also be able to live longer." Eternal youth, if placed under the tongue of a dead man, his body will be immortal."

Rong Li had heard of such things before. When he was at the Rong family earlier, he heard that Rong Changting had also searched for the royal family, and he wanted it very much.

Among the subordinates, Rong Changting wanted to gain the honor of the royal family and also got a piece, so that he could use it for his late wife Danxuan. He used to feel warm and affectionate, but now that he thinks about it, his hair stands on end.

The man retracted his five fingers and held the jade tightly, "In order to keep my body healthy, I have to hold this jade under my tongue. I have been sleeping almost all these years. After holding it, if I suffer from the disease of leaving the soul, my soul can wander around. Can also see ghosts."

In this way, this bead must have been contained by a man for a hundred years, Rong Li sucked in a breath of early spring chill, let alone want it anymore.

After the man finished speaking, he looked around, seemingly surprised, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, Hua Su appeared in front of him, and said softly, "We only borrow it for a while, and we will pay you back later, without delay."

When the man saw Hua Su's figure, he took a half step back in fright. After he became a "living person", he couldn't see ghosts as easily as if he was out of his soul.

He then shook his head: "What if I don't see her when she comes?"

"It's not right, she stopped thinking about it and went to reincarnation." Hua Su said softly.

The man shook his head violently: "That, that... I want to be with her."

"Over the years, have you ever asked her if she would like to be with you?" Hua Su said.

The man was taken aback, apparently never asking.

Hua Su smiled, very coldly, "Look at you, you don't care what she is thinking at all, you just want to impose your thoughts on her."

The man felt so embarrassed that he couldn't even squeeze out a half-word of rebuttal.

Hua Su said again: "It's time for you to ask her, please, so I can lend you the beads."

Rong Li stood there for a while, thinking that after standing for a long time, he would get used to the stench in the yard, but he didn't expect that the more he smelled it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he almost vomited, so he hurriedly pinched the handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

The man hesitated to speak.

Hua Su said coldly: "I'm the only one who persuaded you with such good words. If it were someone else, he would have snatched that broken pearl."

His mouth was full of disdain, but he still wanted the bead.

The man's shoulders sank, and the coercion made it difficult for him to move an inch. Only then did he realize that Hua Su was really up for discussion.

"Give me another day, I'll think about it..."

Hua Su nodded.

Rong Li was still covering her mouth and nose, her thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if the smell not only irritated her nose, but also her eyes, her eyes were already turning red.

Seeing her suffering, Hua Su waved his hand at the curtained carriage in the yard with dissatisfied eyes.

As soon as the palm wind arrived, the hanging curtain was immediately lifted, revealing all the bloody fish inside.

Those fish had some fish heads or fish tails, blood was splashed everywhere in the car, and the smelly fish blood dripped from the car shaft and seeped into the mud below.

The fish head alone has already accumulated a lot of heights, and when the body is still there, I don't know how many fish are in the carriage.

The man pursed his lips, and hurriedly said: "These fish are all bought from the villagers, and I have never harmed anyone."

"I know." Hua Su said: "If you have harmed someone, there must be a lot of karma on your shoulders."

The man quickly looked over his shoulder, but he couldn't see anything.

Hua Su snorted lightly, "You go fishing once a month?"

The man nodded, "That's right, she only eats this once a month."

Rongli was a little curious, how did this human and demon get to know each other, she thought about what she heard in the village earlier, "Could it be that you and her met in that village?"

Hearing this, the man was a little surprised, but he still nodded, "I grew up in that village since I was a child, and the fishing village naturally makes a living by fishing. The year I tied my hair, I was able to go fishing alone. Ghost."

"Haunted?" Rong Li blinked.

The man shook his head, "It's just rumors that it seems to be haunted. The fish brought back by every household in the village will disappear, as if they were stolen, but there is no fish in this village. It's not good to steal. It's not worth stealing." Besides, there are few people who come to collect fish from the city, and most of the fish caught are kept for their own food, and not many can be sold."

He put the jade beads into his pocket and said in embarrassment: "I have to go and clean the carriage."

Hua Su sideways to avoid.

The man fetched well water with a bucket, and walked to the side of the carriage, as if he couldn't smell the stench, he raised his hand and put the fish heads and tails on the cart into a bamboo bag.

His hands were covered with blood, and he said, "I was also robbed of fish. I happened to have nothing to do that day. I wanted to catch the thief who stole the fish, so I hid it next to the fish basket and waited for a day. That thief came at night."

After putting all the fish heads, tails and bones into the bag, he got into the car with a bucket and got up after washing with a brush, "I almost fell asleep that night, and the thief walked cautiously again, if not I raised my spirits, and I will not notice it."

Rong Li covered his mouth and nose, still feeling uncomfortable, so he simply put the handkerchief back around his waist, and turned to lean on Hua Su.

Hua Su glanced at her from the side, and saw that the man pinched her sleeves, sniffed carefully and sniffed.

There is a scent of brandy on the cuffs embroidered with silver thread, which is clear and faint.

Only then did Rong Li feel a little better, and turned to bury his head on Hua Su's shoulder.

Hua Su pulled the loose hair from her shoulders to the other side, "Could it be that cat demon who came here?"

The man was scrubbing the carriage, and the red-dyed water trickled out from the cracks in the wooden boards, and it was all pink, "It's a cat, its whole body is as white as snow, it has blue eyes, its fur is still long, and it looks chubby. .”

He looked softly, "When I was in the village, when did I see such a cat? That cat is really beautiful. It hit the fish basket with its front paw, straightened up and took the fish out of the basket. It ate very gracefully." Even if the blood stained the hair on the chin, it's also pretty."

Rong Li has never seen such a cat, Chuizhu's body hair is short and black, with a tuft of white hair on the tail.

The man fetched another bucket of water and poured it on the carriage, "It's so beautiful, I couldn't help but go up to catch her before she finished eating, only to find out that one of her legs was injured, as if she had been caught by a trapper." caught."

"You saved her?" Hua Su asked.

The man nodded, "When I caught her, she kept struggling and drew two deep slashes on my face."

He pointed at his face, "Here, maybe it's because of the bead. I stopped at that age, and the scar on my face couldn't be removed."

When Rong Li raised his eyes, he really saw two scars on his face.

The man flushed the water on the carriage again, and brushed again at some scarlet marks that were still left, "I knew she was afraid of me, so I fed the fish to her mouth, and she saw that I didn't hurt her after a while, I just ate it in my arms."

Rong Li thought about it, that's how Chui Zhu was tricked into believing Hua Su.

The man vigorously brushed the blood on the car, "After eating, she didn't recognize anyone anymore, and wanted to run away again. I grabbed the back of her neck, found medicine to apply to her, and bandaged her wound."

He was sweating profusely, and said again: "She calmed down now, she didn't stretch her paws at me anymore, and she was raised by me."

Rong Li didn't expect that there was such a story in it.

The man lowered his eyes and smiled, "Since then, no one in the village lost fish anymore, and the rumors of the ghost stopped. But one day, when I went back from fishing, I couldn't find her. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find her, so I had to give up. "

He paused, and then said: "At that time, someone knew that I had a cat, and the cat had disappeared, so someone told me that the animal was not familiar with it, so I don't want to be sad."

"How could I not be sad? When she was here, she would still cling to my hand and let me scratch her chin, moaning in her mouth, very cute." The man struggled to brush the blood on the curtain.

"Later, I couldn't find it, so I could only forget it. One day, when I was out at sea, a sudden wind came up. , thinking with all my heart that it would be fine if I didn’t go to sea this trip.”

Rong Li vaguely guessed that since the man was not dead, he was rescued, maybe it was the cat that saved him.

Sure enough, the man said: "When I woke up, I felt something was pressed under my tongue, and my mouth and nose were choking. I almost swallowed that thing."

"That bead?" Hua Su frowned.

The man nodded, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead onto his arm. "It's that bead. After I spit it out, I spit out a big mouthful of seawater. I got up and realized that someone was watching beside me."

"I'm not dead. Ordinary people capsize at sea, so there is no chance of survival." The man recalled, and said: "I knew that the person beside me might have saved me, but I didn't expect that this saved me." It was a girl who died."

"Cat demon." Hua Su said lightly.

The man had a smile on his lips, "I only heard that some people in the corner have blue eyes, but I've never seen them before. When I saw those green eyes, I thought I saw a ghost."

"The ghost saved you, you thought well." Hua Su snorted lightly.

The man was embarrassed, "I didn't know that if I pinched my leg in a hurry, it would hurt, and my body was still warm, and my breath was still there, so I knew I was still alive."

He paused, and splashed water on the bamboo curtain, "I dared to touch her face, and that face was not ice, so I was sure that I was not dead, and the girl in front of me was not a ghost."

"She transformed into a human form to save you." Rong Lisi thought it was the first time he had seen a ghost in his life, but he was not as lucky as this man. When he saw Erniang's pale face with blood and tears on her face, she was almost killed on the spot. send away.

The man said: "It's just that I couldn't guess at that time that she was transformed by a white cat. I just thought this woman was strange. I thought I was swept away to the corner by the tide, otherwise how could I see the blue-eyed person."

He shook his head, "I don't know what that bead is for, I just thought it was a folk remedy for saving lives, but she said as soon as she opened her mouth that she thought I was going to die, so she went to the sea to find a bead, and took the bead Gave it to me."

Rong Li was taken aback, "Cats are mostly water-hated, the first time I gave Chui Zhu a bath, it struggled so much that it refused to touch the water at all, barking so heartbreakingly, but this white cat went into the sea to look for you. bead."

Hua Su squinted, "The roof tiles are about to be overturned, and I can hear it from a distance."

The man nodded, "She was trembling all over, and she laughed when she saw me wake up, she didn't speak very well, just like babbling, I became more and more sure that I was washed to the corner by the big waves, and I heard that the people who lived in the corner said that we can It's not the same, otherwise how could she speak so uncomfortably."

Hua Su scoffed.

The man sighed softly, "I looked around and realized that this place is familiar. I saw a corner of the village from a distance. Isn't this our village? I suddenly realized that I was still in the fishing village."

He fetched another bucket of water and rinsed it for the last time, "When I took her back, everyone was looking at me. It's been a long time since I've seen a girl with such a sign in the village. She was a little suspicious, and she hid behind me when she saw someone. , but the look doesn't look like she's afraid, it's just like looking for a place to spy on those who look at her."

"Most of the cats are like this." Rong Li thought for a while, and Chuizhu often did the same, but it didn't meet many people, and it had practiced enough courage with Hua Su, so ordinary people can't scare it anymore.

The man washed the carriage clean, poured water on the ground, and washed away the blood on the ground.

"I didn't know she was a cat. I realized something was wrong when I saw her eating raw fish in the fish basket. Even if you are a remote person, how could you eat raw food like this?"

His expression darkened, and he shook his head slightly: "Because she was seen by many people when she came back with me. During that time, people often came to the house as guests, and some brought children. Those children were not well controlled and messed around. Run and see the cat she turned into is picking up the fish in the fishing basket."

"Later I heard an exclamation, and hurried to look, only to see her standing by the fish reel holding a bloody fish, and a child was frightened and ran out." He said in a hoarse voice, "She asked me, what about that?" Why did the child run away? She has obviously changed back into a human form, so she shouldn’t be able to scare people. I was stunned at the time, and I just thought her behavior was weird before, but unexpectedly it’s here.”

"You know she's a demon?" Rong Li was sure.

The man nodded, "I guessed it right away, so she can no longer secretly eat the fish in the fish basket, and don't change in front of others. But the strange story of the cat turning into a human soon became known to everyone, so I thought about it." Take her away from the fishing village overnight."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Unexpectedly, that night, the villagers surrounded me with torches, and asked me to take that girl out to have a look, and I must not be fooled by the monster."

"I dare not speak, for fear that she will be beaten to death with sticks. She obediently followed the villagers and was locked in the house. Someone threw a raw fish to her every day. She may have remembered what I said before and would rather starve to death." Don’t eat either.” The man’s expression was gloomy.

Rong Li was stunned, "How did she die later?"

The man said in a deep voice: "I wanted to rescue her quietly, but I didn't expect it to be too late. She probably couldn't help being hungry, so she took a bite quietly, and was beaten to death by a villager who was guarding her that day."

Rong Li stared.

The man shook his head, "That person was expelled from the village by the village chief. I heard that he was caught in a mountain torrent and died in sand, gravel and muddy water. I rushed to find her, but there was only a snow-white cat in the house. It's cold, I wanted to give her the beads, but after thinking about it, she couldn't survive, so I might as well be a ghost with her."

"Later, I left the village and bought a house in the city. I left the soul with a pearl in my mouth, and then I saw her soul following me far away. Every half a month, I would go to buy a cart of fish. Maybe it was because I was so hungry during my lifetime. Great, she ate a lot in one meal."

Hua Su said coldly: "Meeting you is really a catastrophe for her. I will send someone to take care of her for the next half month. If you lend me the beads, you don't need to worry about the rest."
