Chapter 5

Under the dim candlelight, Li Quan's face was strangely pale and dead. Fang Xuan shuddered and quickly shook her head.

Li Quan smiled at Fang Xuan, picked up the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "It tastes good," he smacked his lips, his lips turning red.

Fang Xuan looked so cool that she couldn't help but ran to Wen Jiaqian's side and grabbed the corner of Wen Jiaqian's clothes. Both Wen Jiaqian and Yuzhi's emotions had stabilized. Wen Jianqian held Yuzhi's hand and listened to her words.

.Fang Xuan just stood aside and listened.

Yuzhi told Wen Jiaqian that she was abducted and trafficked to a small mountain village in western Hunan when she was twenty years old. After escaping several times, she angered the buyer. Her legs were broken and thrown to the roadside. Later, she dragged the mutilated body alone.

Her body was begging everywhere, and was finally found by Li Quan who came out to look for her. At the end of the story, Yuzhi's eyes filled with tears. She took Li Quan's right hand with both hands and said emotionally, "In this life, the most right thing I have done is to marry you."

."

Li Quan put down the candle, held Yuzhi's hands with his backhand, and looked at her with tears in his eyes, his expression a bit desolate. "I will definitely let you stand up. No matter what the cost," the voice was extremely firm, fully demonstrating

the speaker's determination.

Yuzhi smiled and nodded, and then shook her head sadly, with tears constantly falling from her beautiful face. This touching scene seemed particularly frightening to Fang Xuan. A beautiful girl who looked twenty years old, and a strange man who was forty years old.

The man stared at him affectionately...it was awkward no matter how he looked at it. But the resolute look on Li Quan's face deeply affected Fang Xuan, and she unconsciously developed a respect for this strange man in her heart.

"It's okay. If you have any inconvenience in the future, tell me. I will help if I can. Now that medical skills are so advanced, Yuzhi's leg may be cured one day." Wen Jiaqian rubbed her red eyes and comforted her softly.

.

"It will be good if Sister Qian comes to visit me more often in the future." Yuzhi smiled reluctantly at Document Qian and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. When Li Quan heard this, Yuzhi frowned and seemed not to welcome her.

Wen Jiaqian comes often.

Wen Jiaqian saw Li Quan's expression and said half-jokingly, "I'm afraid your old Li will be jealous and won't let me in."

"No, sister Qian, don't mind. He has suffered a lot in the past few years. He has become quieter but has a good heart." Yuzhi said as tears seemed to flow out again.

"Sister-in-law, please come and talk to Yuzhi often in the future. She is very lonely at home." Li Quan gently wiped away Yuzhi's tears and said with determination.

Wen Jiaqian put her arms around Yuzhi's shoulders and said softly, "I just need to visit you often from now on. It's easy to see you when we are door to door."

"Sister Yuzhi, if I have time, I will take you out shopping." Yuzhi's appearance is endearing and her life experience is sympathetic, so Fang Xuan couldn't help but promise.

Yuzhi smiled happily at her softly, with shallow dimples and bright eyes, which made Fang Xuan lose consciousness. Li Quan looked at Yuzhi and sighed silently.

Wen Jiaqian and Yuzhi talked for a long time before taking Fang Xuan away. When they walked into their home, Fang Xuan pulled Wen Jiaqian and looked up and down, and asked with doubt, "Mom, Yuzhi is really as old as you?"

Why do I feel that she looks younger than me. She and Uncle Li are like a father and daughter together. Uncle Li is so old...".

Wen Jiaqian turned on the light at home, "When I'm with her, I have the illusion that she is my daughter. I don't know how she takes care of herself. She looks so young. But I am old." Wen Jiaqian said and took pictures.

Take a picture of your own face. This face has wrinkles due to life.

"My mother is always the youngest and the most beautiful in my eyes." Fang Xuan hugged Wen Jiaqian's shoulders with a playful smile, "Mom, you are so young, I will call you sister from now on."

"Nothing big or small." Wen Jiaqian smiled and hit Fang Xuan on the head.

It was getting late, the two talked for a while, then took a shower and went to bed. Fang Xuan did not dare to sleep alone, so she still slept in Wen Jiaqian's room.

The next day, Fang Xuan went to the store by herself and asked Wen Jiaqian to rest at home. Wen Jiaqian had become much more haggard these days, and Fang Xuan saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

The business of the flower shop was average, and Fang Xuan spent most of the time lying on the cashier counter in boredom, looking at the Yin Yang Pavilion opposite. Yechen didn't come out of the Yin Yang Pavilion opposite, and the white cat didn't see it either. The day passed in boredom.

It was not dark at night, so Fang Xuan locked the door and went home. After what happened last time, she did not dare to go home after dark. Although money is important, it is more important to have a life.

When she got home, Fang Xuan saw these packets of Chinese herbal medicine on the coffee table. She ran to the kitchen and asked Wen Jiaqian, who was cooking, "Mom, do you have a headache again?"

"No, I'm going to San Gu's place today to help Yuzhi get some medicine." The smell of chili pepper floated in the kitchen, and Wen Jiaqian coughed twice.

"Yuzhi's leg is broken, and taking medicine is useless." Fang Xuan took the spatula from Wen Jiaqian and pushed Wen Jiaqian out. Although Li Quan is determined, this matter cannot be achieved by being determined.

.

Wen Jiaqian took off her apron and tied it around Fang Xuan's waist, "I took medicine to treat rheumatism. Yuzhi's hands and body were very cold. Last night, I hugged her as if I was hugging Kuaibing. On such a hot day,

How can she survive the winter when she's still so cold?"

Fang Xuan flipped the spatula, her throat was choked by the hot pepper and she didn't speak.

Wen Jiaqian helped Fang Xuan tie her apron, bent down and opened the kitchen door, and walked out of the kitchen with two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. After eating, Wen Jiaqian put all the medicine in a plastic bag and stood by the coffee table and asked Fang Xuan, "

Do you want to go with me?"

Fang Xuan moved on the sofa, staring at the TV, and simply replied "No". She didn't like staying in that dark room, it felt like a haunted house. Wen Jiaqian saw this

Without forcing it, she carried the bag to Yuzhi's house alone. After a while, Fang Xuan heard the sound of opening the door, turned around and saw Wen Jiaqian coming back with the bag.

"Uncle Li didn't open the door?" Fang Xuan asked, glancing at Wen Jiaqian's bag.

"Lao Li is not at home. Yuzhi can't open the door!" Wen Jiaqian sat down next to Fang Xuan and put the bag on the coffee table.

"Uncle Li locked Yuzhi at home?" Fang Xuan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Wen Jiaqian hummed and said, "Old Li is probably afraid that a thief will break into the house."

"There's nothing worth stealing in his house, right?" Fang Xuan laughed at the far-fetched reason here. She only stole Li Quan's empty house. She turned her head to Wen Jiaqian and said with a smile, "No, he has one in his house."

Priceless treasure"

"What priceless treasure?" Wen Jiaqian asked curiously.

"Jade branches, jade branches are as beautiful as my mother's." Fang Xuan smiled proudly.

…………

In the afternoon of the next day, the weather was hot and there was no one on the street. Fang Xuan sat in the shop and fell asleep. Wen Jiaqian brought a glass of frozen sour plum soup for Fang Xuan to go home and rest. Fang Xuan took the sour plum soup and held an umbrella.

Walked out the door. After leaving the door, I stared at the Yin Yang Pavilion opposite for a while, then looked back at Wen Jianqian who was counting money in the drawer, and quickly walked towards the Yin Yang Pavilion.

Fang Xuan walked to the Yin Yang Pavilion and knocked on the ajar door. After knocking for a while, there was no response. She pushed the door open and lifted the black curtain and walked in. When she entered the room, the lights were on. Ye Chen lay on the black curtain in the middle of the room.

Sleeping on the wooden table, the white cat lay beside his head. There was nothing in the room except two chairs and the table where Yechen slept. Fang Xuan frowned, had she come to the wrong place? It didn't look like catching a ghost.

Yes? No matter, since you are here, ask first before talking, and if it doesn't work, then look for other places. After thinking about it, Fang Xuan knocked on the table, "Hey, someone is here."

"One thousand is needed to find the ghost house, two thousand to exorcise ghosts, five thousand to exorcise demons." Yechen raised his head with sleepy eyes.

"Is there a discount for acquaintances?" Fang Xuan looked at Ye Chen with a sweet smile on her face, thinking about how to bargain.

When Ye Chen saw clearly that it was Fang Xuan standing in front of him, he yawned and sat back on the chair, touched the white cat on the table and asked, "Are you trying to drive away ghosts?"

The white cat shook its ears and continued to sleep.

"Do you know who the little girl in red was that day?" Fang Xuan asked straight to the point.

"It's a ghost." Ye Chen fiddled with the cat's hair with both hands and answered casually.

"You know why you didn't tell me that day?" Fang Xuan looked at Ye Chen and her heart was filled with anger. She almost died. He still had such an attitude. It was really shameful. If he had told him that day that the little girl in red was

Damn it, I must have grabbed the yellow paper in my hand, took it back and stuck it on the wall, instead of stuffing it in my pants pocket and eventually getting it tragically shredded by the washing machine.

"You didn't ask me! Besides, didn't I give you a charm?" Ye Chen looked up at her.

Fang Xuan immediately concluded that Ye Chen seemed not to be blamed for this incident. To be precise, she was saved by him that day. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, the consequences might have been even more terrifying.

"Can you catch it?" Fang Xuan pulled up a chair and sat across from Ye Chen.

Ye Chen opened the drawer of the table in front of him, took out a small bottle and put it in front of Fang Xuan. The bottle was very ordinary, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with talisman paper. Fang Xuan looked at the bottle in confusion. "What is this?"

"Girl in red." Yechen yawned.

"You said that's the little girl here?" Fang Xuan opened her eyes in surprise.

Yechen nodded.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Fang Xuan picked up the small bottle and studied it carefully. The small bottle has the same shape as those bottles containing oral liquid. It is very light in the hand, except that there is a yellow talisman on it.

, nothing special. The evil spirit that almost killed me is contained in this small bottle? It’s too unreliable, right? You are trying to swindle my money, right? Thinking of this, Fang Xuan looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.

"Open the talisman and take a look." Ye Chen said with a smile.

"After I open the bottle, you won't force me to buy this bottle, right?" Fang Xuan asked warily. She has seen a lot of forced sales. The clothing wholesale market in the east of the city is like this. As long as outsiders

If you touch the clothes, you will be forced to buy the touched clothes.

Yechen shook his head, "No,"

"Say it first, I won't buy your bottle." Fang Xuan was worried and got vaccinated.

Ye Chen looked at the bottle in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened the talisman. A red shadow floated out of the bottle in an instant, and the little girl in red suddenly stood in front of Fang Xuan.

When Fang Xuan saw the little girl in red, her face turned pale with fright. She jumped up from her chair, ran behind Ye Chen, grabbed Ye Chen's arm tightly, and stammered, "She... she's out... she's out."
