However, the old man still just shook his head and told Lawyer Shang that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a girl and he was not afraid of anything except that his granddaughter would not be able to marry when she grew up.
At that time, Lawyer Shang's head started to heat up and he said: "It just so happens that my son is four or five years old. If the old man doesn't dislike it, then I can let my son marry the old man's granddaughter."
When he said this, Lawyer Shang first came here to repay his kindness and didn't think too much about it. Secondly, he felt that although the fetal movement would have an impact on the fetus, it should not be so serious.
After hearing what Lawyer Shang said, the old man showed a meaningful smile, looked at Lawyer Shang, and said: "Since you are so determined, you might as well make a marriage arrangement. Twenty years from now, my granddaughter will
Will go to find your son."
When Lawyer Shang heard this, he wanted to leave his contact information, but the old man stopped him and said, "They will meet each other if they are destined, there is no need for this."
After saying this, the old man left with the small bamboo basket on his back, and Lawyer Shang also returned home.
After hearing what the old man said, Qin Yu understood that Murong Wanting was the granddaughter of the old man. Twenty years later, she found her second brother according to the original agreement.
"No wonder my parents' expressions became so weird when they knew Wanting was from Murong Village." The second brother Shang Fei showed a look of sudden realization on his face, but then he asked doubtfully: "That's not right, what if?
If that's the case, shouldn't my parents be happy? Why do you have that expression?"
"That's because my uncle and aunt know that she is not an ordinary person."
Qin Yu glanced at Murong Wanting and said: "If I guessed correctly, my uncle must have told my aunt about this matter when he returned home, and later they must have planned to come to Murong Village to find her.
But when the two of them came to Murong Village, they found that Murong Village was a village that had been abandoned for many years and no one lived there at all. Therefore, after thinking about it, my uncle and aunt began to doubt the old man's identity.
Identity."
Qin Yu felt that this speculation was not far from the truth. For a savior who was also promised to be married, it was impossible for the second brother's parents not to understand afterwards. However, when they came here, they
You can imagine how I felt when I found out that there was no one living in Murong Village at all.
And this can also explain why the second brother's expression became so unnatural when his parents knew that Murong Wanting was from Murong Village.
Because the second brother's parents knew that Murong Wanting was not a human being, but because of the agreement they made back then, they couldn't stop it. Such complicated and contradictory feelings made the two of them choose this way.
Face it with attitude.
Because the second brother's father is a lawyer, a lawyer who attaches great importance to the spirit of contract. It was he and the old man who made this marriage, and he couldn't do such a thing as breaking the contract.
In addition, there is another very important point. The old man was not a human, but he obviously had no ill intentions toward him. According to folklore, there are not only ghosts and monsters in this world, but also some gods who help them.
Such rumors are not uncommon among the people. Some villagers went to the mountains to hunt, but got lost or were killed by wild beasts. In the end, they were saved, and the person who saved the villagers was either an old man or a fairy.
They are not human anyway, and villagers often refer to such beings as gods.
However, there are also some folk tales. When villagers were rescued, they agreed to some of the requirements of the rescuer, but in the end they failed to do so. In the end, they brought more disaster to themselves and their families. Such folk stories
But of course many people of Lawyer Shang's age have heard of it.
Therefore, the parents of the second brother are also worried. If they break the contract, it may bring disaster to the family. The most important thing is that after more than a year of observation, they found that nothing happened to their son. Therefore,
In the end, she decided to accept the marriage.
Qin Yu's guess is very consistent with the facts. This is what the second brother's parents thought in their hearts.
"Third brother, you have heard that this marriage was arranged by my father and Grandpa Wanting. This is the order of my parents. You can't stop it." The second brother Shang Fei looked at Qin Yu, indicating that he was planning to cheat.
"Second brother, you..."
Qin Yu rubbed his nose helplessly. If the agreement made twenty years ago was taken into account, he really couldn't interfere in this matter, because it was a cause and effect. If there hadn't been that old man twenty years ago, the second brother
His father died, this is a reason.
The second brother's father took the initiative to propose a marriage. This is an effect. Every cause must have an effect. Although the matter between the second brother and Murong Wanting is inconsistent with the rules, from the perspective of cause and effect, it is consistent.
This matter is a bit difficult to handle.
All things in the world are created equal. Flowers, plants and trees can be cultivated into essences. They are also the darlings of heaven and earth. They are no worse than human beings. Moreover, it was the father of the second brother who initiated the marriage. Therefore, this part of cause and effect,
The power to end it lies with Murong Wanting. If Murong Wanting is unwilling to end it, no one can do anything about it.
"Miss Murong, I want to know the truth about what happened back then." Qin Yu looked at Murong Wanting. What the old man and the second brother's father said back then were not entirely true. At least, the so-called daughter-in-law,
And the thing about that herbal medicine is just a lie.
"Master Xianjia, I know what you are wondering about. I can tell you everything about what happened back then."
The old man looked at Qin Yu and said: "Actually, the herbal medicine Wanting's grandfather used for Mr. Shang's wounds was not an ordinary herbal medicine, but an orchid that was more than three hundred years old. This orchid was about to achieve success in cultivation.
, and what Wanting’s grandfather discovered at that time was not one orchid, but two, one of which was Wanting.”
The old man's words made Qin Yu look stunned, and the boss and the three of them were also stunned.
"These are twin orchids. According to your human relationship, they should be considered brother and sister."
Qin Yu's eyes fell on Murong Wanting, but he did not see that Murong Wanting was actually one of the twin orchids.
Twin orchids are a variety of orchids. To be precise, they can no longer be called orchids. In the Zhuge Neijing, they are recorded as twin orchids.
According to legend, the growth conditions of twin orchids are extremely special. First, the parent body must grow in a very shady place, and then the fallen flower seeds will be buried in the soil and not grow for hundreds of years.
These flower seeds are in the soil, absorbing the nutrients of the soil, and will slowly burrow underground until, by luck, they get to some place full of ghostly energy, which is an ordinary underground tomb.
Twin orchids like ghost energy. In order for flower seeds to grow, they must have endless ghost energy to absorb them. Therefore, the best place to grow is on a coffin.
When the twin orchids are flower seeds, they can move by themselves and shuttle through the soil. When they find a tomb, if the coffin is not rotten, they will take root on the coffin and begin to absorb the corpse energy and ghosts of the corpse inside the coffin.
gas.
Therefore, in the world of metaphysics, there is a rumor that twin orchids are transformed by the souls of the deceased. They are an extremely strange thing that cannot be touched easily.
People who have this rumor are because they don’t understand twin orchids, and twin orchids usually appear in tombs. Once some tomb robbers find twin orchids growing on the coffin, they will immediately retreat, because in the
In the eyes of these tomb robbers, if there are twin orchids, it means that the ghost of the owner of the tomb is still there. They should not act recklessly, otherwise they will suffer the revenge of the ghost.
In fact, Qin Yu knew in his heart that the reason why tomb robbers were so taboo about twin orchids was because the abilities of twin orchids frightened them.
Although twin orchids look similar to orchids, their colors are completely different from orchids. Twin orchids, one red and one white, have the ability to create illusions. The longer they grow, the more powerful the illusion will be.
The red one emits a gas that is colorless and odorless, but those who smell it will feel weak all over and their limbs will feel numb. If this gas is absorbed for a long time, the heart will slowly stop beating until death.
Many tomb robbers who broke into the tomb did not know this, and mistook the illusion of twin orchids and the ability to cause death to be the revenge of the ghost of the owner in the tomb. That's why there was such a rule. See
If you see twin orchids in an ancient tomb, move away immediately.
However, few people know that the twin orchid is actually a kind of herbal medicine, and it is also a very precious herb, especially the red orchid, which can relieve hundreds of poisons.
Of course, the hundreds of poisons do not refer to ordinary poisons. For ordinary poisons, the red orchid is used.
If it cannot be saved, it is not a waste to use this again.
According to what the old man said, Qin Yu understood that it was indeed the second brother's family that owed him money.
"I would like to ask, where is that old man?" After a moment of silence, Qin Yu asked.
That old man is naturally not the ancestor of Twin Orchids. In the world of plants, trees, spirits, and monsters, the so-called grandpa is not necessarily the same type of plant, but an honorific title for older cultivators.
"Grandpa, he left ten years ago." Murong Wanting pointed to the old tree behind the stone monument. This old tree had many roots and seemed to have a history of thousands of years. However, at this moment, the old tree
The leaves on the tree were not lush, and were even slightly yellow. Qin Yu knew at a glance that the life of this old tree had come to an end. (To be continued)
