I was wrong, I was really wrong!

Xiaoxiao has a new name, Qi Chu, and her nickname is Xiaoxiao.In the account book, she became Qi Shan's younger sister.However, Qi Shan would call her sister at home.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Zhong Han said that Qi Shan should take Xiaoxiao back to his hometown. The child who just returned to Qi's family will always participate in the sacrifice at home.

Qi Shan nodded in response, and took Xiaoxiao onto the plane.In fact, even if Zhong Han doesn't say anything, he still has to go back. After all, it's Qingyu's death day.

This year's sacrifice was surprisingly lively, but all the Qi family that Qi Shan knew and met were there.All the bedrooms in the ancestral house have been sorted out, just in time to arrange these people.Later, he thought about this unprecedented lively scene for a long time and came up with a reason - this summer was too hot, and everyone came back to escape the heat.

Nantang Town is indeed a good place to raise people. Xiaoxiao had a low-grade fever when she was in S City, and she was lethargic for several days, but once she arrived in Nantang Town, she immediately became more active.As soon as he entered the gate, he dragged Qi Shan around, apparently wanting to visit the whole house.

While visiting the garden, I met Qi Xu's adoptive father, Qi Shan's uncle, and the current patriarch of the Qi family.The uncle has been watching Xiaoxiao.Xiaoxiao, who has been in Qi's house for half a year, is not as afraid of strangers as before, and now she is not afraid of being watched by her uncle, but a little shy.

"Sister, call me Dad." Qi Shan said.

Xiaoxiao was confused when she heard this, "Don't we have a father? Why do we have another father?"

The uncle waved his hand, "I've never called my father before, but I've always been called by my nickname, it's so annoying."

Qi Shan thought for a while, then said, "Xiaoxiao's name is Uncle."

The uncle nodded and looked at Xiaoxiao expectantly.The little girl looked up at her uncle, and said crisply, "Hello, uncle."

The uncle touched her head with a kind smile on his face.Xiaoxiao was stroked and giggled.

After teasing Xiaoxiao for a while, the uncle looked at Qi Shan.Qi Shan saw from his gaze that he wanted to speak, but he still didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Shan and smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at.

After bidding farewell to the uncle who smiled inexplicably, Qi Shan took Xiaoxiao to another place for a stroll.

In the open space outside the kitchen, the elders are busy.Among the group of people, Qi Shan is more familiar with her aunt, second aunt and third aunt.

As in previous years, the aunts and aunts are making some traditional snacks.The second aunt saw that they were still enthusiastic, beckoned them over, filled a large bowl and handed it to Xiaoxiao, "When did you arrive? Are you hungry, eat something first."

"It's not long since I arrived, and my sister is in a good mood, so I insist on shopping." Qi Shan held a bowl for Xiaoxiao, and said while eating.

The second aunt touched Xiaoxiao's face, then looked at Qi Shan, and couldn't stop laughing, "That's great."

Three days before the sacrifice, a large group of cousins ​​came back one after another, and Qi Hang also brought Yan He back.I don't know if it's Qi Shan's illusion, but he always feels that something is wrong with everyone in this house, and these people are always smiling when they see him.But he didn't know what these people were laughing at and what made them so happy.

On the day Yan He came, he looked at Qi Shan and smiled like a flower.Qi Shan was so curious that he saw the timing when the eldest brother was not there, and blocked Yan He in the room.

Unexpectedly, Yan He looked at him, made a hissing gesture, and refused to speak even if he was killed.

Qi Shan returned home without a feather and didn't ask any more questions.

The sacrifice in Nantang Town was as lively as ever.During the day, there are dragon and lion dances, juggling performances, and various food stalls along the street. You don’t need money, as long as you don’t waste food, you can eat whatever you want.In the evening, there will be a lantern festival along the coast of Nantang, guessing lantern riddles, setting off lotus lanterns, and setting off fireworks, all of which are not inferior to the New Year.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that the lantern festival dissipated.Qi Shan was fed up, Xiaoxiao was taken to sleep by his mother, he was lying on the bed alone, indigestion, ouch, ouch.I do not know when I fell asleep.

After a while, the room became a bit cold, Qi Shan rubbed his arms, got up sleepily, and was about to pull the quilt, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the door of his room opened.

He had no choice but to pull on his shoes to close the door.As soon as he walked to the door and glanced at the scene outside the door, he suddenly lost any sleepiness.

The yard was full of people holding candlesticks, dressed in ancient costumes, with their heads slightly lowered towards him, Qi Shan felt his heart suffocate instantly.The people in front of him are more or less blood related to him, and they laughed at him every time they saw him a few days ago.At this moment, these people put away their smiling faces, looking solemn and pious.

Qi Shan's heart beat faster and faster, the fist-sized heart almost jumped out of his chest.I saw such a scene a few years ago, but this time it was a little different. Last time, besides the Qi family, there were more people from the town in the yard.But at this time, almost all the Qi family saw in front of them filled the huge courtyard.

He suddenly remembered that for this year's sacrifice, all the Qi family members had returned.Qi Shan looked at them, everyone's faces were covered with light orange by the candlelight, looking extra warm in the quiet night.

This time Qi Shan was not restricted in his movements, but he still stood stiffly at the door of the room, no one told him what to do, he dared not take a step.

Zhong Han stood at the front of the crowd, and Xiao Xiaohe was led by her from left to right.She and Qi Shan exchanged glances, "Follow me." She turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Qi Shan immediately followed behind her, her footsteps a little fluffy.Then came the people holding candlesticks in the yard, and the white candles were lit. These people lined up in two rows and followed behind Qi Shan.

Qi Shan followed Zhong Han out of the gate of Qi's house, and saw more people along the way.They stood on both sides of the road where Qi Shan passed by, holding candlesticks in their hands, and their gestures were devout.After passing through many streets and alleys, I finally arrived at Nantang.At this time, the corridors of Nantang were filled with candles, and the whole Nantang was covered with a layer of light orange light. The lotus flowers in the pond bloomed at the junction of light and night, and they were very red.

Zhong Han didn't pause, and led the two children into the corridor, followed by Qi Shan.At the same time, those who followed all the way merged with the people who had been waiting, and then divided into four routes, leading from the four corridors to the Huxin Pavilion.The crowd finally formed a cross at the Huxin Pavilion.

Zhong Han finally brought Qi Shan to the Huxin Pavilion. She handed a dagger into Qi Shan's hand and said, "Go."

Qi Shan remembered that there were stone steps on the west side of the Huxin Pavilion.He stepped down step by step, walked to the bottom of several stone steps, stood on the thick bluestone slab, and then went down to the bottomless lake.As soon as he stepped on the bluestone slab, not only Qi Shan's heart beat violently, but his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He pulled out the dagger, his hand shaking so much that he could barely hold the knife.

The sound of chanting came from the surrounding crowd, and the sound gradually became louder, echoing over the entire Nantang.

Listening to their chanting, Qi Shan felt miraculously calmed down. He showed no mercy at all, pointed the tip of the knife at his chest, and stabbed it in forcefully, just like what Qingyu had done for him.

After the dagger was pulled out, blood gushed out, flowed down the chest and abdomen, spread all over the body, and finally merged into the lake under his feet.In just a few moments, the lake in front of Qi Shan was dyed blood red, and the lotus flowers standing in the blood became more and more lively.

Not long after, Qi Shan began to feel dizzy in front of his eyes. He couldn't feel the pain, and he was afraid that the blood would not flow enough, so he even wanted to make another cut.A lotus stem wrapped around his hand, Zhong Han said, "Don't tie it, it's enough."

The blood was flowing fast, Qi Shan's eyes were getting darker and darker, in his dim vision, he tried hard to stare at the small piece of water under his feet.After a while, he suddenly smiled.

In the bloody water, a hand slowly broke out of the water and stretched out towards Qi Shan's leg.There wasn't a trace of flesh and blood on that hand, it was just white bones, stained with Qi Shan's blood and lake water.

Qi Shan was supposed to be terrified of the scene, but now he watched it, but he laughed so happily that tears flowed from his eyes.

The hand grabbed his ankle.Qi Shan lowered her head, watching tenderly with another bony hand sticking out of the water, grabbing his other leg.

Two bony hands held Qi Shan tightly.The blood on the bone gradually disappeared, as if it had been absorbed, and then the white bone miraculously produced blood and flesh, layer by layer, growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.First meridians, blood vessels, then muscles, and finally, ivory-white skin grew out, covering the previous flesh and blood.

It was a pair of very beautiful men's hands.The joints are well defined, and the fingers are long and thin.Qi Shan bent down and held those hands.

After the hands, the arms and head of the white bones emerged from the water one after another. Like the hands before, the blood-soaked white bones grew new flesh little by little, barely becoming a person.

Qi Shan waited for him quietly, and after about half a century, the guy who had been away from him for a long time finally climbed out of the water and stood in front of him in ragged clothes.

The surrounding chanting stopped.Qingyu stood in front of Qi Shan, her long jet-black hair was drenched and draped carelessly behind her back, revealing most of her face.He smiled at Qi Shan, who slowly raised his hand and stroked his face, "Is it cold?" This face is still so pretty.

"It's not cold." Qingyu stood quietly, staring at Qi Shan carefully for a while.Then his gaze moved down and landed on Qi Shan's heart.He supported Qi Shan's shoulder, slowly lowered his head, and licked Qi Shan's wound bit by bit, his movements were light and gentle.

Qi Shan suddenly felt that everyone was staring at her, and she felt a little embarrassed like this.He glanced around in a panic, but found that everyone had run away.

Before he regained consciousness, he felt an itchy heart, which was caused by being licked by Qingyu's tongue, and the scratching itch when the wound healed.He couldn't help it, and laughed.

Qingyu paused, licked it a few more times before stopping, stood up straight, and stared at Qi Shan blindly.

"Brother, I'm back." The voice was a little hoarse.

"Yeah." With heat on his cheeks, Qi Shan knew that he was crying spinelessly again, and he said, "Welcome back."

Tears couldn't be stopped no matter what, Qingyu lowered her head, kissed Qi Shan's face, and kissed away his tears.Afterwards, those delicate and lingering kisses gradually transferred from the cheeks to Qi Shan's lips, and they never wanted to part again.

Qi Shan's last memory that day is that he and Qingyu did something very shameless in the Huxin Pavilion.Although he knew that it was very ugly to sit on the ground like this, but he finally passed out from joy.

There is a person, at the bottom of the quiet and cold lake, waiting for him day after day, year after year.Until he came, he broke free from the shackles desperately, and stood in front of him without reservation in the most embarrassing appearance.So once, twice, three times.

Nothing to repay, so I had to sleep with him.
