Chapter 146: Homecoming

Ye Xuici has a secret.

It is true that she likes secrets... This kind of love seems to be innate. The process of exploring and digging out will give people a subtle pleasure, just like the military counselor deciphering the enemy's secret message, and the stone gambler opening a rare secret.

Beautiful jade, grave robbers have dug up priceless burial objects. Regardless of whether they are good or evil in nature, she is interested in them.

But this is only for other people's secrets. She doesn't like her own. It's not out of disgust for the incident itself...but the process of keeping it. She knows better than anyone else that there is no airtight wall in the world, and the secret will only be known to the second person.

It's not called a secret anymore. But then again, if one party treats it as a secret without authorization, and the other party doesn't know about it, whether it is said or not, it is also a secret for the former. What she carefully treasures is like this.

It's a secret. Keep it

It's not difficult to live with it, as long as you keep silent and refuse to admit it. But it is buried in the bottom of your heart, like a red-hot iron, which can glow faintly red even through the soil. Sometimes, it makes her feel flustered.

I want to find a pen to write it down,

Or catch a deaf person and spit it out. However, nothing written or spoken can be called a secret. It is like a good wine that has been aged for many years. If the lid is opened midway, even if only a grain of dust falls in, it will be lost.

It will only become trash.

Yes... writing, drawn pen holder, torn and burned paper, intentional or unintentional listeners hidden in the corner, it may not even be a living thing - everything will betray the secret, because this is her

The ways and means to obtain secrets. She buried the only thing she could call a secret deep in her heart, and it has not faded even after more than ten years. It is still like fine wine, the longer it ages, the more mellow and intoxicating it becomes.

She almost fainted.

When Ye Xuici was born, he held a fragment of Yun Wai Mirror in his hand - of course, the secret was not this, although the matter itself was bizarre enough. He held a sharp, copper fragment in his small fist, and it sounded strange no matter how he heard it.

It's frightening. Holding such fragments, the delicate skin of the child is not

It was scratched. Through her little hand, the mother's belly was intact. It was just because she felt awkward after knowing about it. She always said that after giving birth to this girl, there was a rusty taste in her mouth. Of course, this was just

It's a psychological effect. If the midwife hadn't told her, she wouldn't have felt that way.

At that time, no one would think that this fragment was a mirror... they would only think it was a fragment of bronze. At any time, the complete picture of unknown things cannot be guessed by just three melons and two dates, just like the story of the blind man and the elephant. This is

The fragment was initially stored in her mother's sewing box and forgotten by the family. When Ye Xuici grew up and had her own jewelry box, she moved it in.

Speaking of which, although her father is also a member of the Ye family, in terms of seniority, it has reached the point where it cannot be included in the family tree. However, her father and her brother both run business with the family based on their surnames, and they can live a comfortable life.

good.

It stands to reason that her family has never treated her badly in life, but she has always had some petty theft problems, maybe she just pursued the excitement when she was a child. After all, she has long been familiar with things like Cuju, shuttlecocks, rubber bands, and flower threads.

She got tired of playing with it. What was clever was that the first time she took my wife’s finger, she didn’t

A person discovered that until now, the ring ring had been left to someone unknown, but after that she was out of control. In addition to the ring ring, she could also hold pendants, hairpins, and bracelets in her hand. And then there were the things that could be hidden in her hand.

In the sleeves: pen, ink, paper and inkstone, rouge and gouache... There are also things that can be hidden in clothes, such as account books.

If her parents had discovered it from the beginning, Ye Xuici would have definitely been beaten. But since she was not discovered, she would naturally keep doing it. Does she really lack those things? Not necessarily, it was just a fresh idea. Until one day

Her brother was curious about where she got all these gadgets, so she mentioned it casually and didn't take it seriously. Her brother was naturally surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't tell her.

Parents. It turns out that he can be considered an ambitious person, but he has always felt that his parents were too self-reliant. Those who joined them and worked in the same period, even if their surname was not Ye, climbed to high places with various cleverness.

It just so happens that my parents are so honest and contented. Since this good teenage sister has such abilities, it’s not bad. In the future, she will definitely not suffer as silently as the older generation.

So, his brother set up a trap and asked Ye Xuici to sneak away an important account book without anyone noticing. He made some modifications and handed it over to his parents. When they found out about this, they were so surprised that they were speechless.

.But the family was eager to find the origin, so they found a reason to hand it over, and followed the instructions

The elder brother's statement shifted the responsibility to others. In this way, they made great achievements and received a lot of rewards. The old couple who originally wanted to scold the brother and sister had worked hard all their lives and tasted the benefits, so they remained silent. After that, she and her brother

He becomes even more unscrupulous and does whatever he wants.

Whatever Ye Xueci wanted, there was nothing she couldn't get. Even if it was the pearl on the neck of a wealthy lady who was surrounded by guards, she could easily get it by design. What's more, she was just a child at the time, and she was well dressed.

She is a very decent child, and no one will doubt her. She often has the wronged scapegoat to take the blame, and she has no real sense of it. Even if the convicted person is beaten in front of her, she

I just looked at it indifferently. In the final analysis, they were too stupid, everyone was. Important things were not stored in a concealed enough place, and the guys who should be guarded were neglecting their duties; the group of people who arrested and interrogated people

Indiscriminately, those who are unjustly accused are stupid and stupid and don't know how to excuse themselves. In addition, their luck has never been as good as theirs. Didn't I say that? Luck is also a part of strength.

In the year of Cardamom, an accident happened. The incident was not big or small, but it was enough to become a secret that she kept hidden in her heart for ten years.

It was an evening, and there was a woman standing on the edge of the lotus pond near her home. All the lotus flowers in this season had faded, and there were only a few scattered ones left, all half dead and floating feebly on the water. The woman looked at it silently.

In the pool, she said nothing. She had white hair and red clothes. Looking at her back, she looked like someone walking down from the horizon.

Yunxia and Ye Xuici watched for a while, not in a hurry to go home. As if being bewitched by something, Ye Xuici took a few steps forward and stood by the pool with the woman, only a foot apart. She was more attracted by the scenery than the scenery.

I am curious about the identity of this woman, because she lives nearby, but has never seen such a person with hair as green as frost.

A gust of breeze blew, causing ripples on the water. A petal fell off the lotus and floated to the water's edge on the wind. At this moment, the woman suddenly pulled out the long knife from her waist, with lightning speed. That moment was too fast,

It was too sudden. When Ye Xuici reacted, the tip of the knife was already pointing at the tip of her nose. She was stunned on the spot, wondering why the woman suddenly took action against a child.

Strangely, the woman had no expression. Ye Xuici finally saw her face clearly - she was indeed a beautiful beauty, worthy of the fantasy brought about by her back. What was even more amazing was this strange scimitar.

Ye Xuici had seen a lot of swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, but she had no interest in them. But at this moment, she felt that this sword was so special and so beautiful that it was so beautiful. The sword energy passed through her body, and she didn't feel any

There was no murderous intention, just an indescribable aroma.

Fragrance? Is it from the sword or the woman? To this day, she can't be sure.

Let's talk about the knife again. The blade was light and translucent. It was impossible to tell whether it was made of mica or some other material. In the dusk, the warm sunset could almost pass through it, casting the colorful spots into her eyes and her heart.

The woman moved the tip of the knife, put it against her chin, and lifted it up a little.

"A useless little girl... so boring," she said.

"Do I know you?" Ye Xuici asked, "Or do you know me?"

"I threw the fragment of Yun Waijing into the stream of reincarnation, but what it was attached to was just such a poor girl. It's impossible to say that I'm not disappointed..." the woman said to herself, "the fragment is still there.

It's very boring on you, it can only be used by you. Why not kill you and let it choose its master again. Is this the kind of fun that folk call gambling on stones?"

Ye Xuici didn't know what she was talking about, but she instinctively felt danger. She couldn't understand what the woman just said about Yun Waijing, but she could still understand when she said she wanted to kill herself. She wanted to run away, but her belated fear stopped her.

It tied her feet like shackles, preventing her from moving. Although this woman was good-looking, she was exuding a terrifying aura that was inconsistent with her appearance, making her legs feel weak and timid.

"Are you making things difficult for the little girl like this?"

A male voice. She and the woman looked over at the same time and found a dignified and dignified young man standing there. I don’t know when he came. He was carrying something covered with cloth, probably a piano. His eyes

Covered in black cloth, could he be blind?

"What does it have to do with you?" the woman sneered. But it sounded like they knew each other.

Ye Xueci had no memory of what happened after that. He only remembered what the young master had talked with the woman, and the woman put away her knife and left. Maybe she was persuaded by the young master, or maybe she felt bored. When it got dark, the young master asked him if he wanted to go back.

The voice on the road home was nice and the attitude was kind. But she was so scared that she came to her senses and ran away, quickly returning home. How could a blind person see the road in front of him clearly? Ye Xuici, who was still a child, only

Thought he was good-looking, but too strange.

After returning home, she suddenly had a high fever that lasted for three days. Her complexion was not red, just bluish. The family invited several doctors, and they all said she was poisoned, but no one could tell what the poison was or how to cure it. What's more, her family

There was no poison nearby, so I couldn't guess it. On the night of the fourth day, it was my brother's turn

She kept vigil for herself. She was still lying in bed, waking up from sleep to sleep. In her hazy state, she heard the melodious sound of the piano and asked her brother what the sound was. At that time, her brother went out to fetch water, but she didn't know it. She opened the door

When I opened my eyes, I didn't see my brother, but I saw the face of a young man with a handsome face.

He had a pair of light-colored eyes that she had never seen before, and they were breathtakingly clear and piercing.

He smiled at himself, stretched out his hand, and his soft bamboo-scented sleeves brushed Ye Xuici's face. She closed her eyes quietly.

The next day, her illness was cured. But no one, including her brother, heard the sound of the piano. They only said that she was dreaming. When she talked about such a person, she was laughed at by her brother again. He only said that he had beaten her

When the water came back, her fever had gone down and she was sleeping soundly.
