Chapter 22 Marriage

But last night, he dreamed that three acres of peach forests were blooming. He walked among the bright peach blossoms, feeling refreshed and calm.

Looking back, he saw his familiar figure. They stood among the flowers and smiled at him, and their smiles were as warm as they were when they were alive.

Liu Xuzhang woke up from these smiles. When he woke up, he also had a smile on his lips, exactly like those deceased relatives.

"Mr. Liu, I woke up so early. Didn't sleep well last night?" Jiang Xixi followed Cheng Muyou and walked towards him. She bowed, her smile a little restrained, as if she didn't know what attitude to say hello to him.

Liu Xuzing smiled, "Where? Xin'an City is a talented person. As soon as I got here, I felt refreshed and even slept very soundly."

Seeing that he was full of energy and a rosy complexion, Cheng Muyou couldn't help but feel relieved, "My brother didn't eat last night. I must be hungry now. I asked the servants to prepare some porridge and side dishes. Brother brother, let's go and have a meal first."

Liu Xuzang waved his hand, "No hurry to eat, I have one more thing to tell my brother."

"Please speak with me, brother."

"I met a disciple of my grandfather in Qingcheng. He knew something happened to the Hu family, so he came to mourn. It was a coincidence that he actually knew the source of the strange book."

Cheng Muyou's face suddenly became serious, "What did he say?"

"He said that his grandfather got this book from an old Taoist, because his grandfather saved the old Taoist's life, so he presented the book to him as a thank-you gift."

"What is the old Taoist's name?"

"He has never seen it before, but heard from his grandfather that the Taoist priest had a scar as thick as a hemp rope on his neck."

Cheng Muyou felt nervous, "So, is that old Taoist the one who refines people into talismans? In this way, he took more than 100 lives of the Hu family."

Liu Xuling nodded deeply, "That's what I think, so to avenge the people of the Hu family, we must find the demonic path."

"Wait," Jiang Xixi pondered for a while, and suddenly spoke, "Yan Niang once said that the human Taoist law that refined the talisman is powerful. It seems that she has some understanding of the demon Tao."

"Miss Yan knows that Taoist priest? I'll go to her to ask her now." After hearing what Jiang Xixi said, Liu Xuzhang walked towards Jihong Embroidery Village. Jiang Xixi and Cheng Muyou followed him. Several people hurried out of the door. They had just walked a few steps in the alley, but saw a basket carrying a right ear coming out of the door of the Embroidery Village. He gently closed the door and added a big lock on it.

"Right ear, where is your girl?" Jiang Xixi asked hurriedly.

When he saw the three of them suddenly, he was startled. He grabbed his head, "She went out early in the morning. Several adults came to find my girl so anxiously. What's the matter?"

"Then when will she come back?" Jiang Xixi's tone was quick and anxious.

His right ear looked at her, "How can I know this? She is the master and I am a servant. How dare I ask more about her affairs? By the way, Miss Jiang has something urgent? Maybe I know it too. I can help you answer your questions."

The three of them looked at each other and thought he was right, so Liu Xuzhang cleared his throat, "Right ear, do you know that magic book full of characters?"

"Are you talking about Yupo Ci?" He blinked his eyes at them.

"It is called Yupo Ci?" the three of them asked in unison.

His right ear shrugged, "You don't even know its name, but so, the girl probably never told you about it."

"What else did you girl say about that book?" Cheng Muyou couldn't help but interrupt.

He raised his face with his right ear and looked admiring, "We girls know a lot. There is nothing she doesn't understand in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, astronomy and geography. She said that the characters in this book were refined by a Taoist, and they must be made by living people, roasting them on the weeds for three days and three nights."

"Does Miss Yan know that Taoist priest?" Cheng Muyou's voice became very low.

"Know him?" Your right ear laughed, "How is it possible? The girl used to travel around the world, and she heard a lot of legendary secret texts, but the Taoist priest was a person more than a thousand years ago, so how could we girls know each other?"

Before Junsheng could reach Bulao Tun, he saw Zhang Rui sitting on the mountain bag, looking down with his head curled. When he saw her coming, he ran down the mountain bag three or five steps and came to her panting.

His face was slightly red by the sun, which made his whole body look more masculine. He looked at Junsheng and smiled, revealing his white teeth, "You are here, did your family make things difficult for you last night?"

Junsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, I pretended to be in a daze when I went back yesterday. My mother looked for me for a day and saw that the person was back. The baby was too late, so how could he dare to make things difficult for me anymore? Even my father didn't dare to say anything. He went out of the house alone to buy wine and eat."

"That's good. I've been worried all night, I'm afraid that you can't stand it and run out after you get home," he and Junsheng walked forward side by side. "It seems that your parents still love you very much. What they said yesterday was just an angry word, so don't take it seriously. One on the left is the sister-in-law and the other on the right is the sister-in-law, which will inevitably hurt their hearts." In fact, he wanted to say that it hurt his heart, but he was afraid that Junsheng would be angry, so he didn't dare to say this.

Junsheng smiled, "Now I am also thinking about it. After experiencing Cuiyu's incident, I feel that life is short and nothing is important in the face of life and death. Therefore, I will not take those gossips to heart."

"Don't think about those unhappy people. Today, you are busy. Grandma Zhong's waist is uncomfortable, and all the big and small things in her family will fall on us."

As Zhang Rui said, Junsheng had been busy all morning, and Grandma Zhong lived alone, and she didn't care about anything. She helped her clean the clothes that had accumulated for several days, and carefully cleaned the inside and outside the house. After doing all this, she went to help Zhang Rui, scraping off the moss on the yard wall with him, and sealing the loopholes in the window with paper and paste. However, Junsheng's hands were worn out. Zhang Rui felt sorry for her, so he asked her to sit down next to her, brought her a bowl of water to drink, and took all the rest of the work.

Grandma Zhong sat in the yard basking in the sun, glanced at them from time to time, and muttered, "Oh, maybe I, the old woman, accidentally made a good marriage. Aunt Zhang, do you think so? Look, these two people are really a perfect match, especially your Zhang Rui, who is in this girl, and she is really trapped in it. It's over, it's over."
