Three hundred and fifty-nine years ago
The living room was still filled with laughter, Fengfeng led Chen Zouting and Sima Lin to stumble back into the living room from the bathroom.
"Tingting, Linlin, you two are finally here! I thought you both fell into the water pipe!" Ding Yile was completely unreserved and as soon as he saw Chen Zhou Ting and Sima Lin, he stretched out his hand and pulled them to sit down beside him.
"You just fell into the water pipe and your whole family fell in too!" Sima Lin said, waving her fist without retreating.
"Alright, everyone's here. Jing should have cleaned up the room by now. Let's get some rest early, you bunch of night owls!" Jing said with a yawn.
"Jing Jie, it's just a little past now..." Ding Yile said, pointing at his watch.
"We old folks won't play with you young people anymore. Look, the little guy is sleeping like that!" Upon hearing this, the little one curled up into a ball in the corner, still clutching the clothes that Lele had taken off and using them to wipe his mouth.
"My clothes......" Ding Yile was silently lamenting in his heart, this jacket he liked the most had been used by the little guy as a towel.
"You can call Little Guy's mother to help you with the laundry." Jing Jie said with a dry smile.
"That won't do, Jin Jie sister can help me wash clothes and that's still okay, but to ask Qing Zhu sister to wash would be too unfair to those hands." Ding Yi Le said as he ran far away.
"Ding Yile, you're getting impatient, aren't you!" Because right behind Ding Yile flew over was a pillow that Jing Jiu had picked up from the sofa.
"I was just joking, ah!" Ding Yile turned around to explain, but saw that the pillow in mid-air had made a strange turn and landed squarely on his forehead. The feeling was just right, not painful, yet not light either.
Ding Yile was dazed for a moment, and a strange sense of intimacy surged up in his heart. Even he himself didn't know why. He just felt like they had met before.
"What's wrong, have you gone silly?" Jing Jie walked a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ding Yile's eyes, muttering to himself.
"You're cheating!" Ding Yile was interrupted by Jing Jie, pulled back to reality, and handed the pillow over to Jing Jie.
"How can I be lazy?" Jing Jie asked with a smile, hugging her pillow and leaning against Ding Yile.
"You know magic, I don't, it's very unfair," said Ding Yile.
"Lè Lè, you're a boy, Jing Jie is a girl, how did you still end up at a disadvantage?" Fang Feng laughed and chimed in from the side, teasing Ding Yi Lè.
"You two are ganging up on me..." Ding Yile said with a wronged tone, pointing at Fang Feng and glancing at Jing Jie.
"If you were my brother, I'd slap you to death right away." Jing Jie said, making a palm knife gesture.
"Jing Jie, do you have a younger brother?" Sima Lin asked curiously.
"Is that so", Jing Jie responded with a nod, glanced at Fang Feng and continued to speak on his own, "He's also a very lively young man, always wearing a Xiao flute around his waist. He plays the flute amazingly well, every time he blows it, the small animals in the mountains are attracted to come over."
"Is it that fierce?" Ding Yile showed a skeptical expression.
"Of course." Jing Jie smiled with some pride.
Feng was just about to say something when he felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Du Si Lin.
"Is the room ready?" Feng asked.
"I think I've been taken advantage of. You just went to the bathroom and talked, but ended up leaving me with four rooms to clean." Du Si Lin's eyes showed a thoughtful expression as he spoke and nodded at the same time.
"Give up, you," Fang Feng slapped away Du Si Lin's hand on his shoulder, "I just don't believe that facing a woman who has had a secret crush on you for over ten years and is now crying, you can say a single word."
"Is Jiong thinking of Si Gu?" Du Siling looked at Jiong, who was originally going to drive people to sleep, and became energetic again when mentioning his younger brother.
At this time she was chatting with that group of night owls. Occasionally, she would also playfully hit Ding Yi on the side.
"I think so," Fang Feng also looked at Jing Jie, "She always seemed to be on the verge of saying something before, and just now when she mentioned Si Gu, she gave me a look. I think she's looking for Si Gu's reincarnation."
"She's afraid you're still angry about what happened three hundred years ago." Du Sulin sighed in his heart and replied.
"It's been over 300 years already, what's the point of being angry or not?". Fengfeng smiled and shook his head, "Taiguang, do you have a way to deal with this?"
"What's up?" Du Sulin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Looking for Si Gu's reincarnation?"
"Hmm." Fengfeng nodded.
"In theory, there's no way." Du Sulin said bluntly, "So many years have passed, and I don't even know how many reincarnations Si Gu has gone through. And nobody can guarantee that he lived a peaceful life in every one of them, maybe in one of his lives he was unlucky and didn't make it to birth."
"You've said it's theoretical," Fang Feng gave Du Si Lin a white eye, "how about some actual practice?"
"I said it's a theory because I have no other choice, actually, either my aunt or my sister-in-law should be able to do it." Du Siling chuckled twice and knew that Fengfeng was asking seriously, so he stopped joking too.
As soon as he heard this, Fang Feng understood a bit, "Do you think you can find Si Gu by using divination?"
"It should be possible, everyone's fate is already predetermined, unless there are special circumstances. Using divination and calculation techniques, it should be calculable." Du Sulin paused for a moment, then continued, "You know, I've never been very good at divination, at most I can only calculate the general outline, and not very accurately either. So, I won't be able to help you."
"Ah, yes! After a long time, I almost think you're all-powerful," Fang Feng said with an air of sudden realization, smiling wryly. "Indeed, gold has no flaws and humans have no perfection, these words are not empty, not empty."
"If you're so capable, then calculate it for me," Du Siling rolled her eyes. "I remember one time you helped your brother with a coin toss divination, saying the accuracy rate was 99%, and calculated that he would definitely fail his finals. In the end, he got full marks."
"That's not what I learned online, it's not right," Feng said with a forced laugh. "Besides, although Siyan is average in all aspects, he's actually quite good at studying and always ranks first."
"I'm also number one," Du Sulin said with a rather evil tone.
"Is that you?" As soon as this topic was brought up, Fang Feng wanted to strangle Du Si Lin's heart, "Didn't I grade your papers at the end of last semester? And, you've had enough misfortune with these teachers this semester, but next semester's teacher is even more disastrous. Don't expect me to write a thesis for you to defend!"
"Next semester? Which teacher is next semester?" Du Si Lin suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to school for a long time. He almost forgot, his master's degree certificate still had to be issued by the school.
And Chen Zhourong said she's going back to school. Then think about it from another perspective, aren't you also going back to school?
"I heard she's a very weird teacher, the highest passing rate under her is 10%. I don't know anything else. You're on your own." Fang Feng patted Du Si Lin's shoulder comfortingly and sighed hypocritically.
"Not really......" Du Sulin grabbed Fengfeng's hand, "That...Fengfeng ah." She coughed dryly to change the subject. Thinking that there were still some days before school started, when school started and met that teacher, Fengfeng would not be able to ignore her either.
"What's wrong? Women don't give or receive things from each other intimately, you can't take advantage of my sister." Fang Feng shook his hand and struggled free from Du Si Lin.
"Auntie can't be found, brother and sister-in-law are still on vacation abroad, what do you plan to do?" Du Siling's heart moved, and she pulled the topic from just now.
"It's been over 300 years, what's the hurry?"
"What are you two whispering about, sneaking around?" The eldest sister of the crowd, Da Jing, finally noticed the two people who had been hiding in the corner and muttering to each other.
"Uh, nothing, nothing, are you guys going to pull an all-nighter?" Fang Feng repeatedly shook his head in denial.
Du Sulin saw Xiao Qingzhu's gaze also cast over, and he also dryly laughed a few times: "Are you sleepy?" she asked.
"A bit," Xiao Qingzhu nodded, and immediately turned her head to say to the young people beside her, "Let Jing Jie accompany you to continue making trouble, I really can't bear it."
"Qingzhu sister, you're sleepy, go to bed early, look at Egg who's already asleep." Sima Lin said hurriedly.
"Uh-huh, you guys go to bed early too, there's plenty of time and opportunity to play later." Xiao Qingzhu said as she got up and picked up the little guy.
The little guy slept sweetly and after being picked up, he rolled over in Xiao Qingzhu's arms and continued to sleep.
"Then I'll leave too, Fang Feng, you take care." Du Si Lin said encouragingly to Fang Feng.
"Go ahead and go, fortunately sleep is not a must for ghosts." Fengfeng said with a sigh.
Du Sulin smiled and followed Xiao Qingzhu back to her room, leaving a group of people chatting in the living room.
"Do you know about Jing Jie's younger brother?" Lying down, Xiao Qingzhu thought for a moment before finally speaking up.
"What's wrong with knowing a bit?" Du Sulin turned over and faced Xiao Qingzhu.
"Jing Jie seems to be worried about something, I think she's thinking of her brother. But for some reason, Jing Jie appears to be concerned about Fang Feng," said Xiao Qingzhu.
"How did you know?" Du Sulin was surprised, Xiao Qingzhu only knew some general things about Jing Jie and Fang Feng, but he didn't know anything about Jing Jie's younger brother.
"Jing Jie originally said she was tired and wanted to rest, but later when she mentioned her brother, she became enthusiastic again. However, I saw her glance at Fang Feng first." Xiao Qingzhu recalled Jing Jie's seemingly casual glance from earlier.
"Jing Jie's younger brother is called Si Gu." Du Si Lin secretly admired Xiao Qing Zhu's subtlety and slowly told her everything she knew. "Fang Feng watched him grow up and treated him like a younger brother. The day Jing Jie and Fang Feng died was actually the day Jing Jie got married. It was Si Gu who gave Fang Feng and Jing Jie both a hypnotic drug, Jing Jie was in a daze as she sat in the sedan chair, went through the wedding ceremony, and got married. Fang Feng couldn't stop it either. But Fang Feng had been tasting all kinds of herbs since childhood, so her resistance to drugs was very good. She woke up before nightfall. She found Jing Jie, and the two of them eloped. Si Gu brought people to chase after them again. The two of them only escaped to the city moat."
"What's next?" Xiao Qingzhu asked as Du Siling stopped.
"Si Gu tried to persuade, as long as Jing Ji obediently married, both of them wouldn't have to die. Jing Ji refused, the two people took poison together and died in the moat."
"No wonder." Xiao Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "But I think Fang Feng should have stopped caring about Si Gu long ago. For over 300 years, with her carefree personality, what else can't she let go of?"
"Mm." In the darkness, Du Sulin nodded, "Feng also asked me to find Si Gu's reincarnation, but I couldn't do it."
"Turns out that the great Taiguang Shifu still can't do everything, huh?" Xiao Qingzhu laughed and reached out to scratch Du Siling's nose.
"I'd have to use the art of deduction to calculate, but I'm only superficial, and even if I get seven or eight out of ten right, they're still wrong." Du Siling paused, "A golden hoop is not perfect, a person is not perfect either." She remembered Feng's sarcastic remark about her.
"Art of deduction......" Xiao Qingzhu muttered to herself, then immediately said, "You can go find Lu Yu, I think she should know."
"You've guessed everything that can be guessed," Du Sulin sighed and shook his head, "It seems that from now on I won't have any secrets that I can hide from you."
"Oh," Xiao Qingzhu's tone rose, and Du Siling seemed to see the dark eyes with some calculation and curved like a crescent moon, "It seems that someone wants to hide something from me."
"Ah——" Du Sulin felt a sudden pain in her waist, "I don't dare." She said hastily.
"What if... one day you find out I've been hiding something from you?" Xiao Qingzhu's words took a sharp turn, and she looked at Du Siling with her elbow propped on her hand.
"It depends on what it is." Du Sulin said after a moment of silence.
She turned over and leaned against Xiao Qingzhu's sideways body.
"Idiot." Xiao Qingzhu let go of his hand and leaned against Du Siling's shoulder. "Go to sleep."
The author has something to say: I don't know why, but when I wrote the last sentence, I felt a little heartache.
Went to donate blood and ended up paralyzed for two days. Now I take one step forward and three steps back.
After posting this update, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight everyone.
