Chapter 57 Fairy

 Yan Ruyu sat down on the chair and raised her eyes to look at the two old men.

 The light in the room was dim, and the look on Li Zheng's face became even worse.

 "How are you feeling?"

 Li Zheng nodded: "Much better. Thank you for thinking about me, miss."

 Li Zheng's wife poured a glass of water: "Miss, thank you very much. I heard the old man said that if it weren't for you, he would be like this My life is long...

 I am the only one left in the house, and there is nothing left to live for."

 Yan Ruyu took a sip of water and glanced at the clothes rack in the corner.

 When she just came in, she saw a smoky purple dress on the hanger. Although the texture could not be clearly seen, based on the color, it definitely did not belong to the old man.

 "When seeing a patient, it is the most basic ethics of a doctor to help him. There is no need to be polite, old man." Yan Ruyu put down the tea cup, "I would like to ask you, has the ancestral hall in the village been moved?"

 Li Zheng hesitated a little and didn't understand. A passer-by asked her what they were doing.

 However, this is not a secret, so he nodded: "Yes, not only our village, but also the ancestral halls of several villages in the surrounding area have been moved."

 "Where have they moved? But are there any geomantic treasures?" Yan Ruyu smiled at the corner of her mouth. .

 "Not counting the geomantic treasures, it's near the Taoist temple thirty miles ahead."

 Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Taoist temple?"

 "Is it the real person Mr. Chen mentioned?"

 "Exactly, the real person Liangde once saved The people in our village had

 a bad harvest last year, and many families were unable to fill their stomachs. For some reason,

 many people were hungry and sick in the village, and almost everyone died, especially us . We were scared and thought it was a plague.

 Later, Master Liangde came to visit us and gave us food and medicine to tide us over. "

 Yan Ruyu asked, "What about the government?"

 Mr. Li Zheng. He snorted softly: "The government? They learned that many people were sick and had no time to hide. How could they care about our life and death?"

 Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "Then what's going on with the heads in the open space in front of the ancestral hall?"

 This is what she really knows. To ask.

 Li Zheng's wife was shocked: "Human head? What human head? Old man, why didn't I tell you?"

 Li Zheng's face changed slightly: "This matter is not a big deal, so I didn't tell you."

 But his wife felt something keenly. , grabbed his arm with both hands: "No, tell me, what happened?

 You didn't let me go out today. Did something happen? What happened? Tell me quickly!"

 Li Zheng sighed: "Yes . , the real person appeared and brought back the beast who harmed Lan Lan. I was afraid that you would be sad again, so..." Before

 he could finish his words, Li Zheng's wife covered her face and burst into tears: "Ah - my Lan Lan, he died so miserably!"

 She stood up suddenly: "Where is that beast? I'm going to kill him!"

 Li Zheng quickly got up and grabbed her: "He was beaten to death by us. At the ancestral hall.

 Later, the real person sent someone to cut off the head, saying that he wanted to separate the body so that he would not be reincarnated and would not be able to live as an adult in the next life. "

 Li Zheng's wife stumbled to the clothes rack, holding the smoky purple dress and crying: "My Lan. Lan...Lan Lan..."

 Yan Ruyu felt sour in her heart and was silent for a while, then stood up and patted Li Zheng's wife on the shoulder.

 Li Zheng also wiped his eyes and burst into tears: "We only have this one daughter, and we have been raising her up.

 Seeing that she is sixteen years old, we are engaged and betrothed, and we are waiting for the wedding in September. Live your life happily,

 never imagine that a disaster will come from heaven before the wedding..."

 The old couple had probably been suppressed for too long and had no one to talk to. Now that they saw Yan Ruyu, who was about the same age as their daughter, they couldn't help crying.

 Yan Ruyu did not interrupt, listened carefully, and handed the hot water to the old man.

 Li Zheng calmed down and gritted his teeth and said: "It's that damned beast! I saw my Lan Lan once when she went to offer incense, and she became malicious in her heart. While she was going to fulfill her wish, she kidnapped her. "

 Yan Ruyu asked: "You said you have engaged your daughter, and the in-laws are..."

 "It's the Chen family. You have seen Chen Mo today. He is the son of the village chief, and he is a good match for my daughter."

 Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

 "Chen Mo is not a bad person. He has been comforting us. He has been running around for Lan Lan's funeral. He has been guarding Lan Lan and has not said we are married for the time being." Li Zheng's wife said in pain, "But I... still want mine. Lan Lan."

 Yan Ruyu didn't know how to comfort her, and asked Li Zheng after a moment of silence: "Where did you say she went to offer incense to pay her vows?

 "That's right. Everyone around here goes there. It's quite effective." "

 You said before that the real person sent someone to cut off the head of that animal you beat to death?"

 "Yes, the real person sent people to recite the curse, put affixed talismans on it, and performed rituals."

 That's it.

 Yan Ruyu didn't have any more questions. She looked at the two old men who missed their daughters so much and said softly: "I know a little about painting. If you don't mind, you can tell me what Lanlan looks like, and I can draw you a picture." Her portrait."

 The old man was overjoyed and quickly thanked her and prepared pen and paper.

 Li Zheng's wife turned on the lamp, lit two more, and spoke to Yan Ruyu carefully about her daughter's appearance, every word, full of longing.

 Yan Ruyu listened patiently and slowly painted. She used sketches, and the drawings were no different from real people.

 Huo Changhe listened outside the window and looked in through the small hole in the window paper. Under the light, Yan Ruyu looked focused, her eyes were determined, and her beautiful profile seemed to be emitting a little soft light.

 Very different from usual.

 Like a sword being sheathed, the tassels on the hilt are soft and fluttering.

 Huo Changhe unconsciously raised his lips slightly, and there was tenderness in his eyes.

 "My Lanlan...this is my Lanlan," Li Zheng's wife looked at the portrait and burst into tears. Holding the portrait on her chest, she was about to kneel down to Yan Ruyu.

 Yan Ruyu supported her with both hands: "Old man, you don't have to be like this. I passed by here, and it must be Miss Lanlan who is worried about you. This trip happened for some reason.

 You must take good care of yourself and keep yourself healthy and strong so that you can live up to her. One heart."

 "Yes, yes, you are right," Mr. Li Zheng nodded with tears in his eyes.

 The light was dim before and she didn't look carefully. Now when she took a closer look, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Girl, you..."

 Yan Ruyu didn't know why. Li Zheng's wife turned around and said to Li Zheng: "Old man, look, does this girl look like a fairy? ?"

 Li Zheng looked up and nodded: "Yes, it's a bit similar."

 Not only Yan Ruyu, but also Huo Changhe outside the window noticed something strange.

 The veterinarian Liu Er had pointed at Yan Ruyu and stammered "fairy" before. Neither of them paid attention at that time, thinking that the villagers were ignorant and had not seen many good-looking girls. They thought Yan Ruyu was outstanding in appearance.

 Now, Yan Ruyu realized that this "fairy" had another theory.

 She put down her pen: "The old man is joking, I am just a mortal, not a fairy. What you are referring to is..."

 Li Zheng's wife carefully put down the painting: "There are two statues in the Taoist temple, one is Mingde Zhenren, and the other is his profile. "Fairy."

 "But..."
