Renew

The face of the person cannot be seen clearly in the bronze mirror, but this woman is inserting a hair comb in front of the mirror. The hair comb is a bit old, and the pearls and jade inlaid on it have obviously lost a lot, and the color is very muddy, which looks a bit old .

Rong Li's breath stagnated, and he suddenly didn't want to know what this woman looked like, she could roughly guess it.

Frail, severed fingers.

This... seems to be her mother, Danxuan.

The shopkeeper is really weak, even putting on makeup can mess up his breath, as if waking up from a nightmare, inhaling and exhaling heavily, after inserting the comb into the bun, his chest and back trembled suddenly, and he suddenly coughed stand up.She coughed anxiously and was out of breath, as if she was going to cough herself to death at any moment.

But these are no longer living people, so how can they cough themselves to death.

It was as if roots had taken root under Rongli's feet, and he couldn't take half a step, and was suddenly pushed on the back of his shoulder.As if waking up from a dream, she couldn't help raising her knees and stepped into the threshold.

She looked at the woman's back, her breath also became short of breath, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Su, who was nestled in Chuizhu's body, took a ghostly aura, "What are you doing standing up, are you retreating?"

Rong Li steadied himself, and asked after entering the door: "Shopkeeper, I just have a prescription for curing diseases, but I have to give you a pulse to know if this prescription is suitable."

The shopkeeper still didn't stop coughing. There was a glass of water on the table, and she reached for it in a hurry. She drank the water before she calmed down a little.She coughed a little hoarsely, making her original voice unrecognizable, rustling, but very soft, breathless and weak, "I know, it was Xiaoer who invited the girl here for me. Girl, please come in. Can you please come in?" Zhou hopes to forgive me."

Rong Li walked in, and every time he took a step, he felt like his heart was burning, and he wished he could turn around and leave.

The shopkeeper turned his head slowly, his complexion was really pale, he looked more like a dying person than her, his face was clearly devoid of any color, his eyes were very dull, it seemed that it took a lot of effort to concentrate, "Girl, don't you want to take the pulse?" , why don't you come?"

That face can't be said to be very familiar, but for a moment, Rong Li saw this woman as himself.

The image is not the same, after a closer look, it seems that only the pair of almond eyes are somewhat similar, and there is no small mole under the shopkeeper's eyes.

At first glance, they look very similar, whether it's the frail body, the sick look, or the powerless look when they speak, they are all very similar, and they are impeccable.

Rong Xin suddenly had a strange feeling, even if she was born in the same birth, she shouldn't even behave like this, if it fell into the eyes of others, Xu would say that she was just copying a cat and drawing a tiger, and learned from her own mother.

The shopkeeper's appearance is not very delicate, the mouth is not small enough, the nose is not straight enough, and the cheekbones are too high, but it is just like this, with a special charm, like fog and wind, as if it is gentle and gentle to everyone, without exception.

Rong Li has obviously never met Dan Xuan, but in such a short moment, he can almost be sure that this...

It is Dan Xuan.

In Rong Changting's stone room, she saw with her own eyes the skeleton with two fingers missing, and she also saw Danxuan's remains buried in the soil.

I thought Danxuan had been reincarnated, but unexpectedly, her soul was still wandering in this world.

No wonder, no wonder Hua Su insisted on letting her into this inn. It turned out that Hua Su had already seen the clue when she was still outside.

Chui Zhu leaped onto the threshold, her steps were light, she didn't even make a sound, her blue eyes were cold.

Rong Li froze all over, and heard Hua Su say in her ear: "When I was outside, I smelled a somewhat familiar smell, which was somewhat similar to the one on Dan Xuan's skeleton, presumably because of her persistent obsession, So stay here."

Rong Li pursed his lips slightly.

No matter how much you hear from other people, it's better to see it yourself.It looks like it really does, but it doesn't look like it in appearance. No wonder Rong Changting is so obsessed with his obsession and wants to capture her even if he tries hard. Who wouldn't like such a weak and obedient woman.

Danxuan failed to recognize her, she bent her eyes and smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "Girl, come here."

Rong Li walked over, his mind was in a turmoil, he suddenly became confused, he didn't know what to do.

Danxuan stretched out her hand and rolled up the cuff slowly. There were only three fingers left on that hand. It was supposed to be a pair of hands that could play the piano and paint, but now it was incomplete, like stains on the beautiful jade, which made people feel distressed.

In Rongli's eyes, that thin wrist bone was as thin as skin wrapped around bones, no different from dry bones.

This is what Danxuan looked like when she was tortured to death by Rong Changting when she was in Rong's mansion.

Rong Li touched the amputated carpal bone, and took the pulse like a gourd. In fact, she doesn't know how to feel the pulse, but she has seen many doctors in the past ten years, and she has already learned how others feel the pulse. Come on like this.

Hua Su tilted her head up at her feet, snorted softly, and saw that she was having fun watching her act, "You're doing well in your studies, have you become a doctor after a long illness?"

Rong Li didn't say a word, and when he pretended to feel his pulse, he frowned slightly, as if his condition was not optimistic.

"How?" Danxuan asked hoarsely.

Rong Li let go of her wrist, "This prescription is usable, I wonder if there is a pen and paper in the shopkeeper's room, I will write the prescription out later."

Danxuan froze for a moment, shook her head and said, "There is no pen, ink, paper or inkstone."

It's unbelievable that such an inn doesn't even have pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

But this is Danxuan's obsession. When she was in Rong's mansion, maybe Rong Changting didn't allow her to send letters, and she didn't even let her touch pens, inks, papers and inkstones. nor.

"As for the daily bookkeeping, just tear off a page and give it to me." Rong Li thought for a while.

Danxuan seemed to have suddenly realized, she nodded and said: "There is a pen and paper, girl, wait a moment."

Afterwards, she faintly called out a name, perhaps it was the little girl's name.

The shouting was very small, logically speaking, the voice couldn't even pass through the door, but it happened to be heard by Xiaoer.

There was not even the sound of footsteps, and Xiao Er's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "What's the order from the shopkeeper?"

"Go and tear a page from the account book and bring me the wolf hair and the inkstone." Dan Xuan said in a low voice.

"Go and get it now." Xiaoer responded quickly, and there was no sound of footsteps when he left. Such a thick-backed man was as light as a feather, and he walked lightly.

Danxuan smiled: "Miss, I am not the one who keeps accounts on weekdays, and my hand is not very good, and I haven't touched a pen for a long time, so there are no four treasures of the study in the room."

"It's okay." Rong Li's eyelashes trembled and he lowered his eyes.

Danxuan clasped her hands on her knees. Even though her two fingers had been chopped off for a long time, she still felt the pain, so she carefully rubbed her joints.

Rong Li watched her rubbing her hands again and again, took a breath in his heart, and said tentatively: "May I ask, how did the shopkeeper hurt his hand? I heard that there are good doctors who can fix broken bones. Would the shopkeeper go there?" Tried?"

As soon as these words came out, Danxuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she raised her hand to rub the center of her brows, "I can't find any good doctor for this person in the deep mountains and old forests, and...the two fingers can't be found after they are broken."

"But... was bitten by a livestock?" Rong Li asked softly?

Danxuan's eyes showed surprise: "Livestock?"

In an instant, she nodded again and said, "That's right, it was bitten by a livestock."

After a while, the door was knocked several times, Xiaoer said outside: "Shopkeeper, I brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Come in." Dan Xuan said.

Xiao Er pushed open the door, holding a box in his arms, looked left and right, walked towards the table above the couch, and put the wooden box on the table.

After he came in, Danxuan looked at the mirror again and didn't move, as if she was frozen.

Xiaoer opened the wooden box and took out the Four Treasures of the Study inside. The paper was indeed torn from the account book, with obvious tear marks on one side and unevenness.Without waiting for the shopkeeper's order, he rubbed the ink himself, picked up the wolf hair, and after dipping the ink, he held it up with both hands, "The ink is ready, please, girl."

Just now the little girl was clearly not in the room, but she knew that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared for Rong Li.

Rong Li was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out on his own, the shopkeeper lacked two fingers, how could he be able to write, and the one who needed to use a pen, ink, paper and inkstone was naturally only her.

She stepped forward, took Xiaoer Chenggao's pen, sat sideways on the couch, rolled up her wide cuffs, and wrote the prescription on the flat paper.

This prescription was indeed used by her, it was the one that Xiaofu had asked Xiaofu to take out from Rongfu before.

Chuizhu jumped onto the table, jumping up and down, quite nimble, "You remember it clearly."

Rong Li wrote slowly, and looked back, not knowing when Xiao Er had gone out, only Dan Xuan, her, and a cat were left in the room.

Even the door was closed without a sound, that Xiao Er really came and went without a trace.

Rong Li turned around and wrote down the last medicinal material, put the wolf hair on the pen holder, picked up a thin piece of paper and blew it lightly a few times.

The ink dries in one stroke, more quickly than usual.

"Miss finished writing?" Danxuan, who was sitting motionless in front of the bronze mirror, spoke out, and suddenly came back to her senses.

"It's finished." Rong Li stood up, went to hand over the prescription in his hand, "I don't know how many herbs are there in the inn?"

When she wrote it, she kept a careful eye and replaced several common herbs with others.

Danxuan took it and looked at it for a long time, her eyes dimmed suddenly, she shook her head and said, "It's a little less."

"What's missing?" Rong Li asked.

Danxuan pointed to the names of herbs on the paper, and said softly: "This, this, this, none of them are found in the inn."

"Then you have to go to the city to buy it. If the shopkeeper can't go far, you might as well ask the little girl to buy it back." Rong Li said again: "Although this place is remote, it is not too far from the city. These medicinal materials are in the city. You can buy them all.”

Danxuan's face was pale, and her hands that were pinching the paper slightly tightened, crumpling the paper, "The road outside is not easy, I can't get out."

"I'll lend you the carriage." Rong Li said in a flat tone, "I came from the city. There is a section of the official road, and the road is fairly easy."

"I can't get out." Danxuan shook her head again, like dreaming.

Rongli's slender eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, then he smiled and said, "Why don't I go to the city and buy it for the shopkeeper."

Danxuan waved her hand, "Young lady came from the city so hard, how can I bother her to go back again, she just needs to rest well, this is the solution... I will find another way."

Rong Xin sank, and Dan Xuan didn't let her do it for her, so she couldn't leave the inn.

Danxuan squeezed the prescription, closed her eyes and panted several times, "Girl, let's go back to the room and rest, I'm tired this time."

Rong Li didn't want to leave at first, his thoughts were spinning wildly, thinking about how to deal with Dan Xuan.Her calf was arched suddenly, and she looked down, just in time to meet the pair of green eyes of Chuizhu.

Hua Su said coldly: "Go, you have to follow her."

Rong Li just gave up, and when he turned around, he lingered on Dan Xuan's face for a moment, "Then I'll go back to my room to rest, the shopkeeper might as well send a message to the city, and ask someone to buy the medicine."

Dan Xuan lowered her eyes, feeling quite hopeless, "A letter? It can't be passed on."

Rongli walked out of the door, turned around and closed the door, walked back into the room step by step while leaning on the wall, her legs were really weak and she had no strength.

When I got back to the house, I saw the three girls fell asleep and couldn't wake up again.

Rong Li sat down restlessly, staring at a certain place without moving, Dan Xuan's pale face still appeared in front of his eyes.

Looking at it this way, Danxuan and her age seem to be almost the same age.

Hua Su nestled in Chuizhu's body and couldn't come out. He refused to go in before, but now he refuses to leave.

The little black cat walked to the window without looking sideways, breathed out a black ghostly breath, and opened the window.

The window creaked, and the wind from outside rushed in.

Rong Li was terrified by the wind, he suddenly came back to his senses, got up and went to Hua Su's side.

The scene outside the window is the same as what I saw before entering this maze, as if this is not a knot in my heart.

Rong Li raised his hand, and was about to put his hand out of the window, when he suddenly heard Hua Su's cold reprimand: "Does it take too long?"

She stopped abruptly, and turned her head to the side: "Can't you stretch out your hand?"

Hua Su snorted softly, "Just try."

Hearing what she said, Rong Li couldn't try it with her own hands. She looked back and squeezed out the flower branch from the porcelain vase on the table, then walked to the window and stretched out the flower branch as if tentatively.

Just when it was out of the window, the flower branch was cut off suddenly.

The incision was neat and neat, and the broken part was swept away by the wind, and disappeared in an instant.

Rong Li quickly withdrew his hand, looked at the flower branch in his hand with fear, raised his hand and touched the cut, it was indeed broken.She felt guilty, but luckily it wasn't her hand that stretched out just now, otherwise, it wouldn't be a flower branch that broke.

When Danxuan was in Rong's mansion, she was like her. She wanted to escape but couldn't. Rong Changting chopped off two fingers.

Even the flower branches cannot be separated from the inn. If you think about it this way, the letter cannot be passed on. No wonder Danxuan would say that just now. It seems that it will not work to ask Danxuan to open the door of the inn by beating around the bush.

"You have to get rid of the obsession in her heart, and this knot will disappear." Hua Su said indifferently.

"What's her obsession?" Rong Li put the broken flower branch back into the porcelain vase, "It's not because she wanted Rong Changting to die, but if she just wanted Rong Changting to die, why would she stay outside Qi'an city?" ?”

Hua Su sneered, "Then she is not Rong Changting because of the resentment in her heart."

"It's not Rong Changting, what else could it be?" Rong Li thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, she knew very little about Dan Xuan, and she only listened to others, how could she know what Dan Xuan was thinking .

"Go and ask her, and you'll know." Hua Su seemed to stay out of the matter, speaking very calmly.

"I wanted to say a few words to her just now, but you want me to go." Rong Li pursed his lips, and quietly tilted his eyes towards the black cat, his eyes were not angry but filled with hatred.

Standing by the window, Hua Su flicked her tail just in time to touch the window, and that thin, soft tail just slapped the window shut.She said softly: "If she asks you to go back, you can go back, it's up to her."

Rong Li carelessly pinched the thin-necked vase, and remained silent for a long time. She couldn't tell whether she was attached to Dan Xuan or blamed her. If there was no Dan Xuan, she would not have suffered like that in Rong's residence, but if there was no Dan Xuan, then Then... without her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt strange, how could it be so similar, even if it was carved out of the same mold, every move should not be so similar.

It can't be said that she learned her current appearance from Danxuan, it was the first time she saw Danxuan.

Just thinking about it like this, a ridiculous idea suddenly came to Rong's heart, and his eyes suddenly went straight.

Hua Su looked up at her, "Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Rong Li murmured: "When I was in the Rong Mansion, I sometimes wondered if I was really Danxuan's reincarnation, but now that I see her soul, I don't think so, but she and I really... are too similar. "

Hua Su sneered coldly, "Your soul is intact, how could it be torn from her body, you still treat yourself like a torn piece of paper."

Rong Li lost his mind, nodded in a ignorant manner, his lips were tightly pressed, a little uneasy.

This heart knot is like a mortal world, as soon as dusk comes, it will be dark.

The three girls still didn't wake up, Kong Qing was lying on the table, I don't know if she was tired from sleeping, but Xiao Fu and Bai Liu were lying on the bed, with the back of their heads still facing the back of their heads, even when they were asleep, they still held each other. Don't wait to see.

Rongli's eyes were acidic, he covered his lips and yawned, obviously sleepy.

Hua Su walked to the door, "Go to sleep next door, otherwise you still want to lie between the two girls, are you really treating yourself like a piece of paper?"

Rong Li shook his head, she was a light sleeper, if she didn't feel comfortable lying down, she might not be able to sleep well all night.

Hua Su said again: "Don't worry, it's just a knot in your heart, Danxuan won't kill them."

Only then Rongli nodded, opened the door and went to the next room.

As soon as the door of the next room was opened, she realized that the furnishings in the two rooms were exactly the same, even the flower branches in the thin-necked porcelain vases were identical.

If the flower branch in the next room hadn't been cut off, she would definitely feel that she had hit a wall.

After closing the door, she walked to the side of the couch and lifted the brocade quilt, felt the mattress inside and out to make sure there was nothing weird hidden, then took off her shoes and socks and lay down on it.

Outside the door, Xiaoer didn't know when he came, and said softly, "Girl, the water is ready, do you need to take a bath?"

Rong Li sat up suddenly, she was somewhat uncomfortable after bumping on the road for so long, she glanced at the cat that jumped onto the table, and seeing that Hua Su didn't stop her, she responded: "Then please bring the bathtub in."

Xiao Er and a man who couldn't see his face carried the wooden barrel in. The man put down the footstool on his shoulders, turned around and went out with Xiao Er.

Rong Li tied his hair up, took off his clothes through the screen, stepped on the footstool and sat in the barrel.

The water was steaming hot, and even the light in his eyes was tainted and blurred.

The cat sat motionless with its back to the screen, and when it heard the sound of water, its ears moved unconsciously.

Rong Li was washing his face, when he suddenly heard the window being knocked, he turned around abruptly, put his hands on the rim of the bucket, and sank his shoulders into the water.

The cat sitting on the table suddenly jumped to the window. At this time, the window was knocked open, and a bone owl poked its head in.

The bird stared at a pair of bright red eyes, stood on the window, its wings were stowed on its back, and it looked a little dazed when it tilted its head.

The black cat and the bird looked at each other for a long time.

Rong Li sat up slowly and looked towards the window, only to see the bone owl turned his head and looked towards her.

Hua Su said coldly: "How dare you scare her."
