The Exorcist - v8 Chapter 9
When I reached the dry well, it was already evening.
Xiaoxia lowered her head, and a deep and tranquil breath rushed over her face. There was no imaginary cold feeling, no damp musty smell, dead leaves or dusty feeling, just like the feeling that Abai gave to people— Gentle, quiet, kind and gloomy.
Observing the dark place from the bright place, Xiaoxia couldn’t see anything for a while, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t know if Abai had ‘woke up’, because it was still early morning according to the spiritual body’s work and rest time.
“Xiaoxia!” But when she was about to leave the well and wanted to sit outside and wait for the sky to turn completely dark, Abai’s voice came from the bottom of the well, “Why are you here?”
“Can’t I see you? Since you said you were going to see me, but you didn’t.” That voice made Xiao Xia extremely happy, never knowing that her best friend was not a real person, but a soul, film and television drama Here, people and ghosts love a lot, but there are few friendships between people and ghosts.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoxia.” Abai was as gentle as ever, “Then—can you get down first? I can’t get up.”
Xiao Xia had prepared the rope early and had already tied it firmly to the tree. At this moment, hearing Abai’s invitation, she climbed down the rope. The walls of the well are dry and rough. Although she has had poor physical performance since she was a child, she went down to the well smoothly.
Seeing Abai’s haggard and calm face, Xiaoxia almost shed tears for a moment, she hugged Abai forward, but hugged Kong Kong.
“Sorry, I don’t have a body.”
“Fool, I forgot about your situation, so why do you apologize!” Xiao Xia pretended to shrug her shoulders lightly, and looked around the square inch of the ground. I saw that the bottom of the well was clean and spotless and empty, and even her dead bones were buried. The bottom of the well was like a small room for sitting meditation, without any earthly disturbance.
“Why don’t you live in the octagonal building? No one lives there anyway.” Abai’s loneliness made Xiao Xia sad, and felt how lucky she was compared to her. At least, Ruan Zhan has always helped her, never harmed her, and she never gave her life for him.
Abai smiled beautifully and said softly, “Although there is no one living there, people often go there. I have left this world, so don’t bother and harass others. I am buried here, and this is my home. “
“But the environment there is better than here, there is no need to wind and rain.”
“Xia Xia, you know, I have very little mana left, and I can’t deal with the dangers in the mountains. Before, he-sealed me here, and there was a big reason to protect me. Although the barrier was trapped I, but other things can’t get in, so as soon as I got back here, I restarted the enchantment from below. Moreover, I have been re-cultivating these days. Although the gods can recover, it has grown a bit. Mana. Look, I can set up a relatively simple barrier to keep the wind and rain out of the well, like adding a roof, isn’t it great?”
Xiaoxia was surprised, and quickly looked up. She knew that there was a formation on the rock wall, and later asked Ruan Zhan to move one of them and rescued Abai. Unexpectedly, Abai pushed the moving place back from below. No wonder, she just said she couldn’t get up.
“But it’s not free!”
“Where he is, where is my freedom.” Abai said, with a firm expression on his beautiful face.
Looking at this infatuated woman, Xiaoxia didn’t know what to say. How can a woman love a man so much without regrets? But only a pure and kind person like Abai can let the devil-like Sima Nan retain the last bit of conscience and love!
Looking around, there was no trace of Sima Nan. Abai seemed to understand Xiaoxia’s meaning and pointed to his head. Only then did Xiao Xia see a white ribbon-like thing on her cloud-like black hair, which was tightly wrapped around a strand of Abai’s hair. The ribbon seemed to be alive. There was no wind in Abai’s hair. It was like a ray of light passing through the darkness, making Abai’s entire face bright.
“Sima Nan?”
“It’s not him anymore, it’s just a part of him.” Abai was a little sad, but then he smiled with relief and stretched his finger to caress the white ribbon. As if there was an induction, the white ribbon wrapped around her fingers naturally and affectionately, “This is enough for me, even if only one of his hair is with me, I am not lonely anymore.”
Xiaoxia once again has nothing to say, but as a woman, she understands Bai’s heart.
Abai would rather stay at the bottom of this gloomy well for hundreds of years, lonely, boring, and even hopeless, and would not reincarnate, because then he would forget the unforgettable love. How could she not be so, how precious is that memory, how can she give it up? !
The sea is dry, the stone is rotten, and the world is old. It is difficult for the soul and the soul. People will get old and the soul will die, but only memory will not be destroyed. What happened at that moment, loved each other, paid, no matter what The vicissitudes of life cannot be changed! If she can’t find her love, what she wants is nothing more than a good memory of that moment. And how could Ruan Zhan be so cruel, taking it away at will without her knowing? ! Whether it’s pain, regret, resentment, or feuding against each other, it’s the only thing she has, so how can she ruin it so mercilessly? !
She hates him and can’t face him just because of this!
“When are you leaving?” Abai asked suddenly.
Xiao Xia came back to her senses and tried to hide her thoughts, “I just came here, so just blast me away? Or a friend, don’t say entertain me for a few days, don’t you just want the world of two people?”
Abai blushed, “It’s not that I can’t tolerate you, Xiaoxia, I don’t need to eat or drink, but you still have to live! Sleeping in the well is not good for your body. Besides, you are a human being after all, and often interact with you. Souls and souls together are no good.”
“But I want to stay with you for a while.” Xiaoxia said without a trace. “That’s fine. You can only restore the enchantment that sealed this place, but I have a physical body, so I can open it again. You and I -And Sima Nan first went out of the well and lived in the octagonal building for a while, and then when I left, you would come back and live here again. As for the people in the village, I will let you know.” Xiao Xia I patted my backpack and said, “I brought a little money, not much, only tens of thousands of yuan, and I plan to donate it to the village. Road construction is not enough, but we can see if we can let the villagers use it as capital. The way to get rich.”
“I’m afraid the mountains and forests are in danger and can’t protect you.” Abai hesitated. She was happy to meet her friends. Although the Yin and Yang are separated, some people are not afraid of her, and they don’t regard her as a lofty ban. Talking about the secret language in the boudoir is also a rare blessing for her.
“Not afraid.” Xiao Xia lifted her chin triumphantly, “I am not the original Yue Xiaoxia anymore. Now I have a senior, and I have taught me a little magic. With this kind of magic, you and I will join forces. !” While bragging, she pulled out half of the remaining charms from her backpack, and told Abaiting about the five-element prohibition.
Abai smiled softly and took a step back, “Don’t be so close to me. Although this spell has not been cast yet, it is full of spiritual power. I will be afraid!”
Xiaoxia didn’t expect this, she was taken aback when she heard the words, but she forgot the narrowness of the bottom of the well and hit the wall of the well, breathing in pain.
“Be careful!” Abai apologized for Xiaoxia’s reaction, and quickly stepped forward to help her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got close, Xiaoxia’s amulet radiated light, preventing her from coming forward.
“This amulet is so powerful!” Abba said in admiration, and took a closer look. “When I was with you before, it seemed to be used to me and would not react. But now, even if there is no malice. It can’t be approached, it must have been Azhan who kept blessing spiritual power on it. He is like this—”
Abaiben wanted to say that Ruan Zhan was hurting himself by doing this. But seeing that Xiao Xia’s expression was unnatural, she suddenly moved in her heart, and she understood Xiao Xia’s intentions. Seeing Xiaoxia’s brows and eyes were locked with a faint sadness, she didn’t say anything at the moment, and smoothly lived with Xiaoxia in the bamboo building.
For a week, they lived a peaceful, peaceful and comfortable life in the mountains, and in order to cooperate with Abai, Xiaoxia also changed the habit of going out at night. In their free time, the two of them had endless words, but Xiao Xia never mentioned Ruan Zhan. Even Wan Li and Bao Datong didn’t want to, for fear of touching the wounds in his heart. All these, Abai looked at it until the seventh night. , She couldn’t help asking again.
Xiaoxia cried, first she shed tears, and finally cried loudly. She told Abai all the things intermittently, as if she had been trapped in her heart with the churning river, and it was all vented at this moment.
“He was really too much this time.” Abai was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to caress Xiaoxia’s head. For the first time, he felt that there was no physical pain. If there is a body, she can hold her to comfort her, but at this moment she Nothing can be done, “But, he is a man. A man has the idea of a man, and if he knows that memory is extremely important to you, he won’t do that.”
“He hates me!”
“Come on, Xiaoxia, don’t be angry with yourself. Even if you don’t know if he loves you, at least you understand that he definitely doesn’t hate you.”
Xiao Xia choked, feeling more at ease. This matter has been pressing on her heart, without telling anyone, she told Abai at this moment, as if she had relieved all the burden and could examine herself from an objective perspective.
Thinking about how Ruan Zhan is good to her, suddenly he feels a bit bully. However, she still couldn’t bear the matter of clearing her memory, because it meant that he regretted having feelings with her, and that he wanted to give up.
However, since he wanted to give up, why did the soul call that had disappeared three days ago started again? Guilty? Or sympathy? The call came so suddenly that she almost responded to him. The fact that she almost made a mistake made her understand how much she missed him, how much she loved him, and did not alleviate a bit by hating him for what she did. This also made her truly understand Abai. When a woman falls in love with someone from her heart, whether it is worth it or not, whether he hurts himself or not, or keeps in love, nothing will change.
Does he love her or just like her? His usual behavior made her confused and unsure. Sometimes his eyes make her feel that he loves her, but sometimes he is so distant. He was like a mirage to her, visible but unpredictable.
“Perhaps, he has difficulties.” Abai thought of Sima Nan, and sighed faintly, “If you fall in love with a complicated man, you have to think more, for yourself and for him.”
Hardship?
Maybe Xiao Xia had never thought about it. She was like a fire, she kept burning when she fell in love, trying to melt him and warm him, and never considered the reason for his refusal to melt.
“What can I have? In my opinion, the things that interfere with love are those things-parental resistance, realistic pressure, third party intervention-he has no parents anymore -” Speaking of this, Xiao Xia suddenly remembered Ruan. His father’s situation, but then he shook his head, knowing that Ruan Zhan’s relationship with his father was so bad that he would not reject him because of his father’s opposition. Moreover, he forcibly erased his memory when he was in Hongqing Town, when Ruan’s father was at that time. It hasn’t appeared yet.
“There is no real pressure. We don’t have any. He has a bar, I have a job, and I don’t ask for good food. There is no financial problem. The third party does not seem to be-does he already have a wife?” Xiaoxia for herself The guess was taken aback.
“How is it possible?” Abai laughed, “With someone like him as a husband, all women will keep an eye on them. How can other women have the opportunity to intervene? What’s more, you have been together for so long and have seen his wife. Does it show up?”
“Perhaps he is in the same situation as Mr. Rochester.” Xiao Xia’s super imagination played a role, thinking of the plot in “Jane Eyre”, fantasizing that Ruan Zhan might have a crazy wife locked in the attic or hiding in the country!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt credible, and she couldn’t help feeling sad. It turns out that he is already married!
“Xia Xia, don’t think about it. Believe me, Azhan never has a wife.” Abai interrupted Xiao Xia’s imagination. Although she didn’t know who Mr. Rochester was, she also knew that Xiao Xia’s thoughts had turned a thousand miles away. Go up.
“So what can I do? Unless he doesn’t love me, or he can’t love me!” Xiao Xia paused, horrified at the second thought.
She cannot be sure whether Ruan Zhan loves her, but he can be sure that he cares about her. If not, he will treat her in the same manner as other women chasing and pestering him. It is impossible to be frightened by his tantrum. At a loss. What kind of man he is, and he hasn’t changed his color in any danger, but that day—or he really loved her, but there was some reason to hinder him.
Can she think like that?
Could it be that he was seriously ill and was about to die? However, he has always been so healthy, and he will recover soon after being injured. How could he get sick? Even if he was sick, he knew it before Hong Qingzhen. What kind of disease can survive for such a long time without being able to tell at all?
veto! This answer is rejected!
However, the two words ‘difficulty’ opened up Xiao Xia’s thoughts and began to make her consider other possibilities, the one that made Ruan Zhan evasive.
“Go back and have a look! I think you think he thinks too much.” Abai whispered, “but don’t show your suspicion, otherwise, a man who is bored with everything like him might hide again. Woke up!”
