The reborn cute wife is a ghost

Chapter 415 Iron Stone Qiao Wan (2)
In the past, Jiao Nu also asked the scholar for things. The scholar was never stingy with small things like writing brushes, folding fans, and buttons, and gave them all generously. This time she thought he would do the same, but who knows...

The scholar refused straight away: "No, return it to me quickly."

Jiao Nu was stunned, and pouted unhappily: "No, I want it!"

The scholar's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered this girl's temper, she was very stubborn, the more he asked her to return it, she would definitely turn against him...

He quickly changed his words: "Jiao'er, this is my sister's relic, it is very important to me, can you return it to me first?"

Jiaonu didn't know what a "relic" was, and naturally she couldn't understand the importance of it. She only knew that the scholar who had always spoiled her and made her reject her. She was very sad and angry, and she didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being.

"I want it! I want it!"

With a sound of "Plop", the girl dived into the bottom of the lake without looking back, no matter how the scholar yelled, she didn't come out.

For the next two days, the scholar didn't see Jiao Nu, until the afternoon of the third day, she came to him pitifully covered in mud.

The little hand was slightly opened, and inside lay a peace knot broken in two.

"I'm sorry, I got into a fight with a goblin yesterday, accidentally..."

The scholar was stunned immediately.

And this is also the first time that Jiaonu saw the scholar get angry, he snatched back her sister's belongings with red eyes, and said a lot of ugly things to her.

When did Jiao Nu ever suffer this kind of grievance, her eyes turned red after a few harsh words, and she pointed at him angrily and urgently: "Why are you so fierce, isn't it just a rotten knot, I'll just give it back to you."

After the words fell, he turned into a dragon and hid back to the bottom of the lake.

After that, Jiao Nu didn't show up for a while, but even though she didn't show up, every morning, when the scholar opened the door, he could always see a few bundled pheasants discarded by his door.

His heart hurts, what is gone is gone, it is something that cannot be taken back, why should he be angry with a dragon for a safe knot?
But in these days, some strange things have indeed happened in the small fishing village below the mountain.

For example, in a home that is good at knitting, the windows will always open inexplicably, and the knots on the table will always be missing for no reason...

The sun rises later in winter than in summer.

That day, the scholar went up to the mountain early, and he called Jiaonu's name by Yunxi Lake.

"Jiao'er, Jiao'er" yelled for about half a day, and finally a "snake head" appeared on the calm lake.

Jiaolong turned into a young girl, and anxiously handed him a plaited safety knot.

"Back to you."

The scholar lowered his eyes. Although she did it with care, the rough handwork and colors are not as good as her sister's. Thinking about the strange things in the village these days, he knew that the Jiao girl was playing tricks, so he frowned and said, "I don't want it, even if I don't want it. If you give me ten or twenty, it will not make up for this regret."

"You don't want it?" Jiao Nu looked at him in disbelief with her blue eyes open, as if someone had poured cold water on her head.

"Let her pass away, and don't sneak down the mountain again in the future, I..."

He wanted to say that he was not angry anymore, but he was very worried about her going down the mountain without permission. After all, the small fishing village was already occupied by a group of bandits, and he was worried about her safety.

But before she finished speaking, Jiao Nu immediately exploded. She sadly smashed the safety knot she had knitted day and night into the mud pit filled with muddy water, and plunged into the water crying.

"You go, you go, I never want to see you again!"

Therefore, the jiaonu who had dived into the bottom of the lake didn't see him pick up the safety knot and put it into his arms like a baby, and she didn't expect that one of her unintentional words would become a prophecy!
The scholar didn't know how to swim, so naturally he couldn't go down to the bottom of the lake to find her, so he could only wait by the lake until the evening, and seeing the sky getting darker, he went down the mountain alone...

Unexpectedly, what awaited him at the foot of the mountain was yet another tragedy.

It turned out that when he was going up the mountain, his little sister was actually targeted by a group of bandits. When he returned home with a few sweet potatoes, what he saw was the little sister who ran back crying all the way.

The little girl's skirt was covered in blood, her top was torn in two, and the little clothes she had been wearing all along had disappeared.

The scholar understood it at a glance, so he went to someone to argue with an iron rod, but he was beaten up as usual, and came back disheartened.

He hugged his little sister and cried loudly, crying that he was useless, crying that he was useless, and swore once again that one day he would make those beasts regret what they did today.

The little girl is very sensible, she wiped away her tears and comforted her brother, and promised not to do something stupid like her sister.

The next day, the scholar collected his mood and decided to leave the fishing village with his family of three, thinking that no matter how bad the day was, it wouldn't be worse than it is now.

But who would have thought that bad luck would come in waves one after another, his poor young sister would actually get sick because of that one time, and the family had no money for medical treatment, even if they could make up together, it would not be enough to see a doctor...

In the end, the younger sister left them. Before she died, her hair fell out, her skin was festered, and she went away after being tortured.

But on the night of leaving, he still held his hand and said in a hoarse voice: Brother, don't cry, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your sister...

He cried and shook his head, he is useless, he is useless, if there is an afterlife, he would rather his little sister go to other people's family, be someone else's sister, at least she can be loved all the time, and don't have to eat because of his cowardly elder brother I did my best...

The next day he buried the younger sister's body next to the eldest sister.

And in the winter of this year, his sickly old mother didn't hold back, she lay peacefully on the bed, disliked his son as useless, and went to heaven to find her daughter.

This time he didn't cry, and he didn't shed a tear when he dug the pit to bury the body, as if he was numb to cover the earth, erect a monument, kowtow...

During the day, the scholar sharpened his knife in the room by himself, sharpening a kitchen knife until it was shiny. Then he stared blankly at the four empty walls for a while, and rubbed the peace knot given to him by Jiao Nu in his palm.

In the evening, the scholar went to the bank of Yunxi Lake again.

"Jiao'er."

When Jiao Nu heard the call, a head popped out of the lake, and said unhappily: "I told you not to come, why are you here again?"

The scholar looked at her eyes as blue as the blue sea, and said with a wry smile, "I'm leaving."

Jiao Nu froze for a moment: "Let's go? Where are you going?"

The scholar didn't say anything, but said calmly: "The mountain is not peaceful, if you have nothing to do, don't come to the fishing village to look for me again, you understand?"

Jiao Nu nodded half-understanding: "Will you come over tomorrow?"

The scholar didn't answer, but said: "Cultivate well in the future, don't you say that one day you will transform into a dragon?"

Jiao Nu snorted: "Of course, I will definitely become a dragon."

The scholar smiled and stroked her silver hair.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiao Nu hurriedly grabbed him: "What's wrong with you? Will you come to see me tomorrow?"

The scholar didn't turn around until she pulled his broad sleeves forcefully again: "Speak."

His back stiffened, and he nodded silently.

Seeing this, the Jiao girl was overjoyed immediately, hugged him and kissed him heavily, and then turned into a dragon and returned to the lake: "We have agreed, I will take you to see Uncle Big Snake and Grandpa Goblin tomorrow, I want to introduce you to They, they will love you!"

The scholar touched the marks on his cheeks, feeling a little shivering in his heart. She is different from him. She has a lifespan of ten thousand years and endless friends. Even without him, she can live a good life. Maybe for him, she has Become a bit of cinnabar in his heart, but she...

Does she know what liking is?
Then he smiled wryly, one day she will become the ancient dragon, but what about him?Just a speck of dust in her life, fleeting and insignificant.

"Jiao'er, take care of yourself, I'm leaving."

"Well, remember to come tomorrow."

"……it is good."

It was raining that night, and there was an extra figure near the boat.

The scholar came to seek revenge with a sharpened kitchen knife, but facing a group of burly men, his sharpened knife was thrown into the bottom of the lake, and his frail body was tied up when he was beaten to death. On top of a boulder.

When the tide rose during the day, the weak scholar was drowned alive, and his body was soaked in the water for half a month. It was not until the bandits gathered and left that the villagers dared to salvage him ashore.

In the end, his body was buried in the back mountain nearby, and he was reunited with his family.

As for Jiaonu, she listened to the scholar, and he told her not to go down the mountain, so she didn't go down the mountain for half a year, but she waited and waited, and finally couldn't wait, turned into a human girl, and went down the mountain to inquire.

She was angry with the scholar in her heart, who told him that what he said was nothing, and he clearly promised to come to her, but there was no news for half a year.

She knew where the scholar's house lived, so she searched for it along the river, but when she came to the door, the building was already empty.

As a last resort, she went to the street to ask people everywhere, but when they saw her eyes and hair, they yelled at her and called her a monster, threw stones and torches at her, and would not tell her the whereabouts of the scholar at all.

"Monster! It's a monster! Kill her! Kill her!"

Seeing the group of villagers rushing towards her with axes in hand, Jiao Nu was frightened and fled back to the mountain in a staggered manner. After she plunged into the bottom of the lake, she never dared to go down the mountain again.

And she has been hiding for hundreds of years.

A burst of thunder rolled in, and Qiao Wan nestled in the cave. Even though he couldn't hear the sound of rain, he knew it must be raining heavily outside.

Jiao Nu looked at her, and begged with red eyes: "Can you bring him? Let me take a look, just take a look."

Qiao Wan turned his face away, and ate the fruit in silence.

In fact... she can't help it, there is a sea of ​​people, where can she find a scholar for her?But this cannot be said truthfully. If Jiao Nu knows the truth, why not tear her up?
"You...I've begged you so much, but you still refuse to agree?" Jiao Nu was anxious, she simply plunged into the water, slapped her giant tail heavily, and the rolled up lake water directly drenched Qiao Wan into a drowned chicken.

"The hearts and livers of you humans must be made of iron!"

Qiao Wan stretched out his hands to twist the water stains under the hem of his clothes, and shook his head, um, she is Tie Shi Qiao Wan.
