Yan Xiaoliu looked at the woman, feeling suddenly uncomfortable. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.
He knew very well that if he could not convince Cao Ning, he would be in constant trouble.
Yan Xiaoliu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ning, her name is Han Xue, she is my child-to-be, and we are both from the same village.
During the summer vacation three years ago, when she went fishing with her family, she encountered a tsunami that occurred once in a century, and everyone on the boat died.
When I found her, her soul had been severely damaged and she had to rely on the Jueyin Grass for protection, otherwise she might die at any time."
"Then why don't you send her to reincarnation?" Zhao Hai interjected.
"Haizi!"
Cao Ning interrupted Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice: "Not everyone can accept the departure of the lover around them."
Since experiencing the death of Mr. Cao and Lin Xiaoyun, Cao Ning has a deep understanding of Yan Xiaoliu's reluctance.
Yan Xiaoliu walked up to Han Xue and stroked the side of her face affectionately: "After the shipwreck, only a young sister and a blind grandma were left in Xiaoxue's family.
The old man learned the news of the shipwreck and died soon after.
They were a good family, but now only her young sister was left alone.
Xiaoxue is worried about Xiaoqing and plans to reincarnate after she goes to college.
I just didn’t expect...that you would find out."
Since Yan Xiaoliu was temporarily transferred to Jiangning City North District as a ferryman, he placed Han Xue on the third floor of the villa. Yan Xiaoliu would come here late every night to accompany her and tell her about interesting things outside.
Such tranquility lasted for a long time, until Cao Ning and Zhao Hai suddenly appeared in the alley.
Yan Xiaoliu understood that the secret he had hidden for so long could no longer be hidden.
Things developed just as he expected. Cao Ning not only saw through the maze on the second floor, but also discovered Han Xue hidden on the third floor.
"If that's the case, then why don't you keep her with Xiao Qing?" Cao Ning asked doubtfully.
Yan Xiaoliu sighed and explained: "That's because Xiaoxue's soul is very weak and often needs a large amount of Jueyin Grass to consolidate its origin.
In addition, Xiaoqing will soon come to Jiangning to study, so I simply brought Xiaoxue first and placed her here first."
"Then what happened to the illusion downstairs? Was it also set up by you?" Cao Ning asked again.
Yan Xiaoliu shook his head: "Although I have selfish motives, I don't want to use evil magic to harm others.
Those paintings existed before I came to Jiangning, and I discovered the strangeness of these paintings by accident.
Later, I found out that these paintings were specially given to the landlord as a housewarming gift by a supplier named Chen in order to please the landlord.
According to my inference, these paintings should have been dug out of burial pits, and they themselves contain extremely evil qualities.
I think this should be intentional by the person who gave the gift."
"So that's it. Why are these paintings so dark?"
Cao Ning muttered secretly, then looked at Yan Xiaoliu curiously: "So all the money you saved over the years was used to buy Jueyin Grass for her?"
"..."
Yan Xiaoliu didn't speak, just nodded.
Jueyin grass is very expensive and is generally only sold in ghost markets.
If you want to rely on Jueyin Grass to strengthen your soul for three years, such expenses are definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
It's no wonder that Yan Xiaoliu has been saving for so many years, but he is not willing to buy even a trousers belt.
Cao Ning sighed and whispered: "Ask what love is in this world, and you will learn how to make love between life and death."
"Master Cao, please let Brother Six go!"
At this time, Han Xue suddenly knelt in front of Cao Ning and begged: "Master Cao, I have heard that Sixth Brother mentioned your name a long time ago. Please do not report this matter to the underworld, otherwise Sixth Brother will really
It’s over.”
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Get up."
When Yan Xiaoliu saw this, he didn't care about anything else and quickly stepped forward to help Han Xue.
"No no no!"
Han Xue shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Brother Six, no... I can't let you waste your life for me.
If there is an afterlife, I will always be by your side and be your good wife.
We are still the same as when we were children, no matter how hard it is every day, we have to be together.
But now...Sixth brother, I really can't let you violate the underworld for me, you...you better let me go."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Han Xue was most concerned about Yan Xiaoliu's safety.
Cao Ning understood better that Yan Xiaoliu was the ferryman of the underworld, and he should have used his strength to eliminate evil and extradite the dead, but instead he allowed the evil spirits in his jurisdiction to harm people and ignored them.
This is a serious crime!
Furthermore, he took advantage of his position to collect bribes privately, which violated the underworld law.
If you really want to dig deeper, I'm afraid you will inevitably fall into the animal realm and experience the suffering of reincarnation.
But luckily he met Cao Ning!
Cao Ning always had a smile on his face, and he had no intention of exposing Yan Xiaoliu from beginning to end.
"Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Hai: "Haizi, did you hear something just now?"
Zhao Hai scratched his head in confusion: "Brother Ning, didn't you hear everything just now? Why are you still asking me?"
"Then you heard it?"
Cao Ning kicked Zhao Hai in anger and gave him a look.
"Ah...oh, I didn't hear anything either. What did they just say? Why don't I remember anything?"
Zhao Hai immediately reacted and looked at the flowers and plants around him with a smile on his face: "Brother Ning, you still have a good idea. The flowers and plants here are growing much more gratifyingly than those in the flower shop."
"That's natural. Don't even look at who I am. I am Cao Ning. I am the soul ferryman."
Cao Ning held his head high and talked to Zhao Hai word by word.
"..."
Yan Xiaoliu and Han Xue looked at each other, and the tense expressions on their faces suddenly relaxed a lot.
They knew in their hearts that Cao Ning was planning to hide it for them.
Cao Ning turned around with his hands behind his back and patted Zhao Hai on the shoulder: "Okay, we have nothing to do here anymore, let's go down.
Look around to see if there are any unused garbage bags, so you can go check out with the big brother later."
"Okay, Brother Ning, I'll go find him right now."
When Zhao Hai heard that he was about to pay, he immediately smiled and scratched his head and went downstairs.
"Oh, by the way, this is for you!"
When Cao Ning reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped. He took out a piece of grass from his pocket and threw it to Yan Xiaoliu.
"This is the grass of rebirth. If you take it, your soul will be restored. It's better not to go to the ghost market in the future. The guys there are too dark-hearted."
Cao Ning thought for a while and then added: "When someone gets better, don't forget to sign a contract with someone. Don't just think about sending someone away all day long and go find the girl by yourself. Don't you be ashamed."
Yan Xiaoliu's face turned red when he was told this, as if he had done something wrong, but when he regained consciousness, his jaw almost dropped in shock.
He opened his big eyes and stared at the grass in his hand: "What, Brother Ning, do you think this is the grass of death?"
Yan Xiaoliu excitedly checked again and again, and found that it was indeed the same as what was recorded in the classics.
