Fishing succubus is good at raising fish
Chapter 46 The last face
On the third night after their quarrel, Yin Yuye suddenly disappeared. The Qiu family searched the yard, but found nothing.
He seemed to have evaporated without leaving a word.
Shen Geyan sat on the steps in front of the door in a daze, the old lady and Qiu Zi came to persuade and comfort him, but he still didn't respond.
Because he knew that from their point of view, "Ju He" might come back. Didn't he come back soon after disappearing last time?
But only I knew in my heart that Chu Xun was angry, maybe those words hurt his heart, maybe... he found his true sweetheart.
He rubbed the piece of Qianxueyu with his index finger, the broken marks were hard to cover up, after all, it was hard to get rid of the water.
"I... I'm not him after all."
"Yan'er, who is 'he'?" The old lady looked concerned, and her tone was even more cautious.
She saw that Shen Geyan didn't speak, just holding a piece of jade, muttering something in his mouth, with a dazed expression, as if he had fallen into some kind of self-world.
"...will not come back."
"Young Mistress, it's easy to catch cold outside, you should go back to the house first."
Suxue recruited a maidservant and wanted to pull Shen Geyan up from the ground, but was stopped by the old lady.
The old lady sighed: "Forget it, you are here to guard the man, and give him whatever he wants."
They watched for a day and a night, but Shen Geyan still didn't eat or drink. He looked at the lotus pond in the yard, the wind and rain drifted, and the lotus was almost broken, and the green leaves floated up and down until the sound of rain
taper off.
When Hexi's sunshine fell, the lotus in the pond seemed to be reborn, blooming gorgeously.
His gaze gradually drifted away, and landed on the eaves, where the birds sheltering from the rain flew out of the high wall facing the scorching sun.
And beyond the high wall, the looming mountain forest was covered by huge clouds, completely blocking his sight, and the shadow was getting closer and closer, until it swallowed up the little sunlight in front of his eyes...
He passed out, only Suxue's exclamation could be heard in the buzzing ears, and someone was running towards him quickly.
After being exposed to the rain, he had a fever and became ill for seven days. In fact, he regained consciousness much earlier.Seven days later, before Qiu He came back, the Qiu family finally realized that the matter was not simple, and ordered people to search everywhere.
It was actually futile, no one could find the clues, and Shen Geyan was the last person to see him.
He listened to the crying of the woman outside the door, the candlelight was weak and dim, the old lady twisted the beads and prayed, hoping that the Buddha could hear her heart, even if she lost ten years of life, she would return her son.
After a while, Shen Geyan saw the old lady sitting in front of the bed, looking extremely haggard, and even her white hair grew wildly overnight.
"Tell me, Heer, why did he leave without saying goodbye?"
He was silent, just shook his head.
The old lady was beating her chest and weeping bitterly, while breathing rapidly, as if she was suffering from great pain, and even the people on both sides were useless to dissuade her.
Shen Geyan heard the crying in his ears, his heart twitched for no reason, he moved his lips, and murmured: "Ah is dead."
The old lady stopped crying, and looked at him in surprise: "... What did you say?"
But Shen Geyan seemed to be talking to himself, and then stopped talking.
Suxue helped the old lady to leave. When she stepped out of the threshold, the old lady looked sad and said softly: "Go find a master and make a fortune for He'er."
The Qiu family is a big family in the city, so it is not troublesome to find a master of fortune-telling and divination. The next day at noon, the pair came to visit.
The master just pinched his fingers to calculate, then rolled his eyelids, and murmured, "Your son's birthday horoscope is in opposition to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and it is not a sign of longevity."
"Master, please clarify." The old lady asked with red and swollen eyes.
"I'm afraid I won't live past 25."
With a "snap", the teacup in the old lady's hand fell to pieces, and her face suddenly turned pale, "If life is forced to survive this calamity, what should I do?"
"This……"
Seeing the hesitation on the master's face, he seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, the old lady quickly told the whole truth, and after the eldest son survived a catastrophe at the age of 25, after returning home safely, he suddenly disappeared a few days ago.
The master's expression suddenly became ugly, he slammed the table, and asserted: "It is true that this child is probably not human, ordinary people stumble and fall off the cliff, at least half of their lives will be lost, how can they be safe?"
"The person who lied about the young master must be a mountain spirit. He approached the old lady's family with malicious intentions, and left suddenly... Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy!"
Hearing these words, the old lady was terrified, but the eldest son's face was always clearly distinguishable, as if he was talking at the dinner table yesterday.
It's ridiculous.She didn't tell the second person about it, but just continued to send people to look for it.
However, she didn't expect that the fortune teller didn't get paid in the house, and she felt resentful and unwilling.
After he left Qiu's house, he used this matter as a talking point, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that Qiu's eldest son is not a human being, but a vicious monster, and that he is so powerful in magic that he found his place, but because of the old lady's eagerness to love her son, They didn't try to catch him back.
Not long after, after the mysterious disappearance of Qiu's eldest son, this strange speculation was spread all over the city, and everyone knew about it.
Stranger things also happened. Just when they were discussing with relish, they would always find that they were "interrupted".
There are also gamblers in the casino, who associate the monster with the husband and wife of the Qiu family, guessing that the monster covets her beauty, but before they finish talking, they lose and lose their fortune.
Fortunately, after the first year when people's emotions were high, it gradually subsided in the second year, and in the third year... in the sixth year, Jixin Hall was closed by the government.
These things were passed into Shen Geyan's ears by the maidservants during their daily conversations. He obviously felt that his health had deteriorated three years ago, and he seldom got out of bed until the first half of the year.
In winter, the fire was burning vigorously, and there was a crackling sound in the charcoal fire, but the light of the fire was too weak to illuminate the room brightly.
Shen Geyan was sitting on the recliner, the faint light depicted his facial contours, his thin face was pale and haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and the blue-black shadows under his eyes looked eerie.
The blue silk lost its luster, was dull and dull, and even the originally docile robes on her body became extraordinarily loose, basically leaving only a thin skeleton underneath.
Shen Geyan looked at the medicine bowl in front of him, frowned, and pushed it away firmly.
He is terminally ill, and no amount of medicine can help him.
"Drink, this is a daily task."
"Medicine can't save me." Shen Geyan turned his head and put his hand on the armrest, "You know that."
"But, this is the order of the suzerain."
The gray-clothed man in front of him was smartly dressed, able to hide from others, and frequently helped him through difficulties.After being discovered by him five years ago, the other party confessed his identity frankly and said that he would take care of him instead of Yin Yuye.
"I'm dying, can you tell Chu Xun and let him come to see me for the last time?"
"..."
"Do you think I can really wait for him?"
Shen Geyan laughed suddenly, but his eyes were dull, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, "It turns out that all gods are so conceited, it's really ridiculous."
As it turned out, he did not survive the sixth year and the last winter.
Suddenly, a case of fox demon wounding people appeared in the city. Someone saw the fox finally hid in Qiu's house. The county magistrate immediately ordered people to search, and there was also a familiar person with him.
The old lady identified it carefully, and found that it was the fortune-telling master.
The master inspected the lobby, then smiled confidently and said: "The courtyard is full of evil spirits, I guess there must be someone cooperating with the fox demon to help him escape!"
After the decline of the Jixintang of the Qiu family, they became impoverished and could only rely on small businesses to make ends meet, without the former glory.
The old lady felt bad in her heart, she hurriedly stood in front of Shen Geyan, and said: "Don't slander my family, you charlatan, talking nonsense, if there is another murderer in this matter but arrests the wrong person, you are not afraid of damaging your merits!"
There was a cunning light in the fortune-teller's eyes, and he looked at Shen Geyan, who was as angry as silk, and when he rolled his eyes, he pointed at him and said with righteous indignation: "I saw it back then, the son of Qiu's family is not a catastrophe, he is a fox. You turned into a demon and came to the city to cause trouble, and when you saw me in the city, you ran away in a hurry, and now you have to break ties with this person again!"
The fortune teller muttered a lot, and the onlookers seemed to have found the real culprit, and threw stones and rotten eggs at them. Because the "fox demon" killed three people in succession, the county magistrate believed that the disappearance of Qiu He was true. Due to the strangeness and the quelling of public anger, Shen Geyan, the closest suspect, was arrested.
No matter how the Qiu family tried to stop the crying, the county magistrate couldn't be moved. The old lady even lost sight of her eyes and passed out.
And behind a tree behind them, Luo Chen had been observing for a long time, he chopped off a tree branch with the wind of his palm, and cursed:
"This dog official is blind!"
He couldn't rescue Shen Geyan in public, otherwise he would be convicted of the trumped-up charges. However, the situation is critical now, and I don't know if the suzerain can come.
In fact, he was also a little worried, why did the suzerain go for so long, and what kind of troublesome things happened?
……
After being imprisoned for three days, Shen Geyan was miraculously still holding his breath, refusing to swallow until the jailer took him out.
The execution ground was surrounded by people.
He was roughly tied to a black wooden sign, on which were written several large characters in dog's blood: Wings of the Killer Fox Demon.
On the stage made of haystacks, there was no one else around except him. The county magistrate and fortune teller a few meters away were sitting at the judgment table, looking at him leisurely.
The jailers held the torches high in their hands, and as long as they threw them down the stage, the flames would burn instantly, and the pain slowly burned him to ashes.
Shen Geyan's expression was indifferent, but in fact he could hardly see, and there was endless noise in his ears, some booing and crying, but no one dared to step forward.
The color of flames was reflected in his eyes, inexplicably recalling the sea of flames in his memory, the fire in the Demon Realm was much more terrifying and dangerous than it is now.
However, now I am just a fragile human being, once burned to death, the pain is real...
He seemed to have evaporated without leaving a word.
Shen Geyan sat on the steps in front of the door in a daze, the old lady and Qiu Zi came to persuade and comfort him, but he still didn't respond.
Because he knew that from their point of view, "Ju He" might come back. Didn't he come back soon after disappearing last time?
