no puppet

When Xie Hengyan saw this person's name, he couldn't walk for a moment.

The most important of them is not the name of that person at all.To be honest, maybe the surname is not that important, what is important is that the man in the portrait, with the medicine box on his back and the herbs in his hand, is completely dressed as a doctor.

If this person's surname is Mu, he is not unusual.If he was a doctor, he wouldn't have much to think about.

However, his surname is Mu, he is also a doctor, and he is inextricably linked with a family of doctors like Feishi Village. This made Xie Hengyan have a strange idea. In the same clan—is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Xie Hengyan was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly there was a book on that head, and he spread it out casually to read, but it was not related to medical skills, and there were some complicated and incomprehensible ancient texts outlined on it.

Xie Hengyan was about to ask a question, but Qu Jian had already opened his mouth, looked at him in a blink of an eye and said, "Can you read the characters on it?"

Xie Hengyan was stunned and said: "...I don't know, what is written here?"

Qu Jian squinted his eyes, and continued to ask him: "I don't know if you've ever heard of...'Bringing the body back to life', such a saying?"

"...?"

Xie Hengyan paused for a moment, and then realized something, and his nerves became tense in an instant.

He never expected that Qu Jian would ask such a question, which made Xie Hengyan feel at a loss, and even didn't know how to answer it.

"I know what you want to ask." Qu Jian said, "...you want to say, I am clearly a doctor, why would I believe such absurd and nonsensical statements."

"No, no." Xie Hengyan turned his face away and pretended to be casual, "I just thought it was strange. I thought... old sir, you would come up with some kind of prescription to treat Nian'er's blindness."

"Her blindness, I checked a little bit last night, and I confirmed that it is not caused by congenital deficiencies." Qu Jian said, "Premature birth is only one of the causes. As for other reasons, as her biological father, didn't you How much have you thought about it?"

Xie Hengyan hurriedly said: "Of course I thought about it..."

More than thinking?

He only regretted that he didn't know the sky-reaching magic technique, and found that he couldn't firmly lift the person living in Wu Nian's body out, and then asked him hysterically, where did you come from?And what purpose?

But how dare you bring up a question like this to others so easily?

So when Qu Jian asked about "resurrecting the soul with the body", Xie Hengyan could only falter and be speechless other than pretending to be stupid.

"I think...she is weirder than ordinary children." Xie Hengyan said in a low voice, "But at that time, the situation was urgent, and I only cared about whether she died or not. How could I care so much?"

However, Qu Jian stepped forward with his backhand, and quickly opened the book in half, facing Xie Hengyan, and said without any hesitation: "These sound evil and impractical demon spells, as early as 20 years ago, the capital had clearly issued a prohibition order... If you insist on saying that there is, others may not believe it, but if you say that there is no, who can point out why it is banned?"

After saying this, Xie Hengyan, as a puppet figure, felt more and more unsettled in her heart, and now she raised her eyes to stare at Qu Jian's face, that feeling of guilt suddenly emerged spontaneously.

"The souls of the dead are endless, intending to use the body of the living to achieve the ultimate goal of resurrection, especially the newly born infant, whose consciousness is weak and unable to resist the invasion of external forces-young man, until now, I only miss you Aizi is eager, so make this a proper reminder." Qu Jiandan looked at Xie Hengyan's slightly dodgy eyes, and said clearly, "Everything in the world has a cause and an effect, such reincarnation, all There is a certain number in life—only people come back to life after death, and trying to survive in the mortal world is a contradictory thing that cannot be tolerated by heaven.”

Xie Hengyan: "Mister..."

"Don't make an irreparable big mistake just because of a momentary kindness." Qu Jian said, "Your child is born different from ordinary people. If you ask her where the difference is, I think... probably it is the pair of eyes that cannot be seen. Eyes. Can you hear me when I say this?"

"Understood." Xie Hengyan didn't understand, but he still spoke stiffly, and said twice, "...Understood."

Seeing his reaction like this, Qu Jian felt relieved for a while, when Fang turned around to leave, Xie Hengyan suddenly said behind him: "Old sir!"

Qu Jian stopped and looked back at him.

Xie Hengyan said: "The junior still has something to ask."

Qu Jian didn't say anything, but let him say it clearly.

"Does the old man know that as early as twenty years ago, there was a girl named Qu Rongyi in your Feishi Village?" Xie Hengyan held back for a long time, and finally asked bravely, "Later she married and came to Feng Town. , to be someone’s daughter-in-law, and you still don’t know where to go?”

The sky was getting dark, and when the evening was near dusk, Xie Hengyan had been working outside for a whole day, and finally had time to return to her room.

He roughly sorted out what Qu Jian said later.

Qu Jian told Xie Hengyan that since the establishment of Feishi Village for a hundred years, in order to prevent the weak family foundation from going into decline, most people with the surname Qu in the village have chosen to marry with foreigners who are behind the family background. It also pays attention to a good match.

At that time, there were only a handful of families with foreign surnames who were able to marry the Qu family, at most they were just a few of the portraits on the wall, and the span from that time to the present is so long, most of them can already be called "ancestors". Among them, the youngest one is the old gentleman Qu Jian whose hair has already turned white.

Feishi Village is located between deep forests and ravines. At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so villagers in the village, so they strictly controlled the family in-laws, and the marriage between children was decided by the parents and the elders of the clan—— If one person disobeyed this unwritten rule, he would be angrily criticized by the whole clan.

Therefore, when Xie Hengyan mentioned the special situation of Qu Rong marrying into Laifeng Township——Qu Jian first said that there was no such girl in Feishi Village, and any girl from the Qu family who married a foreign man would definitely stay in the village. A certain marriage record.

Unless... there is another more extreme situation, that is, this girl eloped with an unknown outsider and fled. She has not returned to Feishi Village for many years, and she has severed ties with her fellow clan.

But like this example, in recent decades, there is probably only one such case.

"Mr. Qu said that the person's name was not Qu Rongyi, and they didn't know her name... Later, for the sake of convenience, they simply called her 'Fengzi'."

In the room, Xie Hengyan lit a candlestick, and now he was half lying on the head of the bed. After listening to him finish a long series of words, he was already drowsy, but he opened his eyes at the last sentence, slightly surprised Asked: "Fengzi?"

What kind of bad name is this?madman?

"Yeah, she's not a village child, she was picked up halfway, she has no surname or name, and she has no parents to watch over her. son."

Qu Jian said that he had a little impression of Fengzi back then.When Fengzi first entered the village, she was still a very young girl. Every day, she huddled in a small corner without speaking, and even timidly called her to eat. Like a demon, she always talks to herself alone, so that almost no one in the village dares to get close to her.

"..." Yin Chun felt inexplicably amused, "You go out for a day for nothing, only to hear these gossips for no reason?"

Xie Hengyan immediately annoyed: "What kind of gossip is this? Listen to me!"

Yin Chun lay back on the bed and said indifferently, "Say it, say it."

"Do you know what happened to Fengzi later?" Xie Hengyan said seriously.

Yin Chun squinted, unable to arouse any interest at all: "How is it?"

"That child, I always remember... She liked planting flowers when she was young. A foreigner came to the village and left a bag of seeds for Fengzi before leaving. She was so happy at that time that she was busy going around by herself, almost jumping up and down. The garden is full." Qu Jian put his hands behind his back, and his voice was infinitely old, full of the taste of long-term memories, "When it is almost summer, the front of Fengzi's courtyard is full of large pure white gardenias."

"Gardenia?"

"Yes, gardenia. At that time, I was also thinking, why is it gardenia again? It feels like I have heard it countless times, but I can't find any connection at all." Xie Hengyan patted the bed abruptly, and said loudly, "But Today, I think... maybe I have a clue."

Yin Chun said, "What clue?"

Afterwards, Qu Jian told Xie Hengyan that those gardenias that were blooming all over the yard, covering the sky like snow, did not stay until the end as they wished.

The gardenia field that was originally Fengzi grew and multiplied so fast that it seriously affected the various herbs carefully planted next door, and even unconsciously occupied the important territory of other villagers.

One night, while Fengzi was still sound asleep, they, together with everyone in the neighborhood, spent a whole night pulling out the roots of the gardenias from the soil, and finally buried those that could be buried. It was so hot that Fengzi didn't even leave the last thought.

"At this point, do you feel that...the direction of things is becoming more and more familiar?"

Before Xie Hengyan could finish his sentence, Yin Chun suddenly sat up straight from the head of the bed with an expression of disbelief.

——Is this something that can be summed up by familiarity?It is clear that these burning flowers, taking flowers... and a series of actions in the future are completely consistent with the crazy words in the original planting notes!

"The so-called 'predators'... are a group of savage beasts who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and use all means to achieve a certain purpose." Xie Hengyan raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Yin Chun, almost verbatim The earth repeated to him again, "They are not worthy of being called humans. Naturally, they should also be punished by the heavens and degenerate into beasts with many disasters and short lives."

"Moreover, the most unbelievable thing is that the same night when they burned down the gardenia field, the phoenix disappeared along with it."

Qu Jian's face full of vicissitudes suddenly appeared a bit indescribably heavy and sad.

"Afterwards, no one saw her again, and no one paid attention to her whereabouts. However, I heard people talking a few times occasionally, and some saw her outside the village. Some said she was married, and some said she died... ...In the end, probably only she herself knows."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The key points of this chapter match up with the previous planting notes, but burning gardenias is only part of it, that is, there is a metaphor behind the "predator", and it does not specifically refer to the villagers who burned the flower fields.

Then explain, there is a setting time too long ago, you may have forgotten that Yin's father and Yin's mother are both surnamed Mu, and they have a certain blood relationship, which is equivalent to close relatives~

The marriage between the Mu family and the Qu family mentioned yesterday was a matter of their ancestors a long time ago. It was a person from the ancestors who was selected to marry the Qu family. It has almost nothing to do with the Yinzhen generation. It's far away from the house, and it's completely out of touch with the relatives above.
