Chapter 90 Si

In the end, Liao Feiyun's boring joke failed to bring a sense of relaxation to Jin Heng's heart. In the next few days, a series of problems brought about by Shi Wenbiao's death gradually began to ferment along with Qin Gentiana's temporary departure.

First, the torrential rain above Yang Chuan has not stopped, and if there is no way to stop this strange rain, there will be a real disaster in the future. Second, Feng Zhichun still uses a strange attitude to avoid not wanting to see him. The attitude of Shi Xiaoguang, who was caught in the middle, was neither awkward nor awkward.

In fact, these days, she never showed herself in front of Feng Zhichun, but secretly helped her take care of her daily life during this time.

Shi Xiaoguang was obviously a little confused about Shi Wenbiao's death at first, but after he went to the hospital to see the miserable corpse, he also couldn't recover for several days.

However, when he saw his biological mother's appearance of becoming a teenager overnight and having some mental problems, Shi Xiaoguang couldn't break out with her at this juncture no matter how many bad emotions he had before.

And after thinking about it for a while, this kind-hearted child didn't hesitate for too long, and just silently assumed the responsibility of taking care of this woman who was kind to him in the end.

In Jin Heng's view, it was already very difficult for Shi Xiaoguang to do this for this woman who did not take too much responsibility for him at all.

However, Shi Xiaoguang, who has been helping him stare at Feng Zhichun these days, seems a little puzzled about the unresolved questions before, and in some of his descriptions, Feng Zhichun, who has just experienced the pain of losing his husband, is also confused. It gives people a feeling of helplessness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that all hope is lost.

"I think... she looks really bad this time... No one in this world can help her... She really has nothing... It's pathetic... She looks really sad Not good..."

Shi Xiaoguang stammered the description like this, it seemed that he was not quite sure what kind of feeling it was, but obviously, Feng Zhichun definitely had some secrets hidden in her body that no one else knew, but in this situation No one can disturb the bleak spiritual world of this woman.

And Jin Heng, who was also caught in a certain complicated mood because of the situation in front of him, was not in a hurry to startle the snake, but let him continue to take care of others by himself, notify himself when there is news, and then go to other things.

As for the progress of these things, Gentiana Qin didn't know what happened for the time being, and he didn't really want him to come back at this juncture at the risk of being discovered by his ancestors and being questioned by his teacher. It's all based on his own progress, and occasionally he will contact his own Qin Chongjun privately in their unique way.

However, regarding what happened to Feng Zhichun recently, Jin Heng thought about it carefully and then mentioned it to Qin Gentian a little bit, and when he received a reply letter from his family Qin Chongjun from the Chongjie, there was such a sentence written on it With a whole body of sharp thorns.

【In this world, the last thing she wants to see is me. She will be unhappy if I appear in front of her. 】

It can probably be seen that the knot between the mother and son has been resolved in a short period of time. While Jin Heng felt pity for Gentiana Qin's past from the bottom of his heart, he did not take the initiative to mention this matter with him again. The two had been investigating the keel matter, and in the subsequent letters, Qin Gentian also gave his own answer.

[For the time being, there is a key clue about Qin Xuan's incident. Jin Jingzhi and I are going to the northwest, and I will talk to you in detail when we get back. 】

[In addition, I have asked He Bo to send someone to look for the Zhang Qingfeng you mentioned. I am not sure if there is such a person in the Creature Realm for the time being. I will let you know if there is any news. 】

[As for the doppelganger at home, you decide whether to keep it or not, but why did you suddenly ask me about Chishui and Hualong?I thought you never cared about this kind of question. 】

He didn't want to admit that Liao Feiyun's joke that day had affected his originally normal mentality to some extent, so he asked Qin Chongjun himself in private about the general process of how he would transform the dragon in the future. His uncle was inexplicably a little embarrassed I was silent for a while, after thinking about it, I still didn't continue with him, which actually involved his personal privacy.

But thinking of what Qin Gentiana reminded himself at the end, Jin Heng's expression became a little thoughtful, and thinking like this, he unconsciously stared at the unknown creature who was still eating and drinking at his house until now. After a while, while Yimao's doppelgänger behind Jin Heng's scrutinizing eyes, which was fine at first, made him a little uncomfortable, he could only stammer and stare at him with blood-red eyes and said: ,

"What are you doing... why..."

"Are you still used to living in my house recently?"

"Huh? It's still... okay..."

"The keel hasn't been found yet, are you worried?"

Doppelganger: "..."

Hearing these unclear words, his legs almost went limp from fright, and he couldn't figure out what the dead face paralyzed meant. The double body twitched and shrank on the ground without making a sound. That's why the thief coughed into the sky without hesitation, then raised his red eyeballs and said with a grunt,

"...Guan, it's none of my business, that's not my keel! Besides, it's you and the dragon that got tricked! Heh heh! Hurry up and work harder, when the time comes, I will really mess with you!" If there is any trouble, you two will look good..."

In the final analysis, it was the doppelganger of the grass on the wall with uncertain wind direction. After speaking, he hurried back into the wall and hid himself. After looking at it, it doesn't look like there is a big-bodied doppelganger hiding in the wall and refusing to come out, but in the end he didn't really catch him out and force him to ask what happened or what.

It's just that Jin Heng's doubts about the real origin of the double body have not diminished with the passage of time, and fortunately, taking advantage of the fact that the ancestors of the Shi family have not made a clear statement until now, Feng Zhichun Bian didn't seem to take the initiative to reveal any news that would be unfavorable to Gentiana Qin, so Jin Heng asked Liao Feiyun to temporarily watch over the doppelganger at home, while he set off to find out in detail how the surname Si is still alive today. There is no such thing as descendants still alive in this world.

As a result, after his investigation, he really let him find one, and this descendant of the Si family is still living in a neighboring city, and his actual age is not particularly old. He is about forty this year, and many years ago Here are ordinary women who have been working on the factory assembly line.

What is more strange is that this descendant of the Si surname, which is quite rare today, even can be said to be rare, changed his surname to Si no longer about 27 years ago, but adopted it to another distant relative on his own initiative. The name was replaced by a completely unrelated surname, and then even relevant name changes were made on the marriage certificate and real estate certificate.

And when Jin Heng personally went to the neighboring city to find her and asked her about this matter, this middle-aged woman who hadn't expected to be approached suddenly because of this kind of thing after many years also had a strange expression. After a while, he sighed in embarrassment under Jin Heng's persistent questioning and said,

"... Forget it, just because you, a young man, came so far to find me, I, I just... tell you the truth, and don't talk to outsiders after you go back. Well, no one would believe this kind of thing in our current new society. I probably thought I was talking in my sleep... My surname is rare, but it is not particularly auspicious. violated the taboo of the Dragon Lord..."

"The taboo of the Dragon King?"

"Yeah, no one wants to change their surname seriously. It's all evidence to prove where they come from... When I was very young, the old man in our family told me that when it rains, Don't go out casually, be careful that the Dragon Lord above your head finds our surname Si, a thunder can kill us from the sky..."

"..."

"I didn't understand it at first, but I realized it later when I grew up. The reason why we Si's people always encounter rain and thunder when we go out, and we are born unable to touch water or go to the river. It turned out to be a long time ago. , the ancestors of our Si family once cut off the head of a dragon that governs the great rivers and lakes with their own hands, and this dragon is said to be the same mother and brother of our ancestors surnamed Si..."

"...Same mother and brother? You mean Si Shi and that dragon are biological brothers?"

This sudden turning point was obviously beyond Jin Heng's expectations, but somewhere, he felt that the story related to the Si family seemed to be familiar from here, and that actually changed his surname early on. Now, the descendants surnamed Si who have also escaped the fate of the family, nodded when they heard the words, and then said to Jin Heng with a face of helplessness,

"Yes, two children born to a mother, but I don't know why the fate is completely different. The elder brother was born after eating millet on the fifth day, and the younger brother was born after eating barley on the eighth day. The elder brother was born with a tail and scales. , was rejected by the people around, so the mother reluctantly threw him in the forest, and after many years, when the grown-up Longzi committed evil deeds, his brother cut off his head with his own hands under the order of heaven..."

"……and after?"

"It was even worse later... the dragon son who made a mistake was beheaded, and the dragon's blood turned into rain from the sky and fell into the ground to regenerate millet. Only then did the mother of the dragon know that the evil dragon was her. The biological son who had been discarded, so full of remorse, she simply swallowed those poisonous millet and killed herself... So there is also a saying in our place that all the millet grown on the fifth day of the lunar new year is highly poisonous, absolutely You can’t eat it, even if a living god eats it, it will rot and die..."

"..."

"And then this story was often used to reflect the mother who neglected to discipline her children. Longzi refers to children who are born unfilial and disobedient... Many old people in our previous village knew this story. There is a picture book specially for the children in the village, but it seems to be lost now, the name? The name seems to be... let's call it "The Song of the Dragon Mother..."

The existence of this "Dragon Mother's Ci" in the population of Si's empress inexplicably connects the strange book that Shi Xiaoguang told him before. Obviously, this story not only hints at the relationship between Qin Xuan and Dayu. The special relationship seems to be related to Gentiana Qin's life experience to some extent.

At this point, Jin Heng, who already had a vague guess in his heart, didn't continue to stay in the neighboring city after thinking like this, and quickly returned to Yangchuan alone, which was still shrouded in heavy rain and cloud.

But as soon as he came back, he received bad news from Shi Xiaoguang and Liao Feiyun who had been staying in the city at the same time, because he had been able to serve as a witness in the past few days when he left Yang Chuan. His doppelganger and Feng Zhichun suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.

"I...I swear I stared at that thing every day at your house, but that day, for some reason, I suddenly fell asleep on the sofa, and then woke up, and things became like this...that thing also Escaping from your thing on the wall... yes, I'm sorry, Jin Heng... it's my fault..."

Liao Feiyun's expression seemed to be really ashamed, Jin Heng didn't say anything when he heard the words, but just shook his head with a strange expression, and didn't pursue this matter in detail afterwards, which was also due to his own negligence.

But it's understandable for a double body, an evil spirit who comes and goes without a trace, to suddenly escape from under Liao Feiyun's nose, but Feng Zhichun, a very ordinary middle-aged woman, can do this, even in the neighborhood of her home. The old neighbors who have lived for many years can't tell where this woman suddenly went overnight, which makes people a little strange.

"...We, we don't know very well. A few afternoons ago, I seemed to see Lao Shi's wife walking blankly outside the alley... Alas, there is no one in their house for a long time. Died suddenly, maybe there is something wrong with the spirit, oh, it’s not because the brain is really broken, so I ran outside alone..."

The mutterings from the neighbors made Jin Heng's already accumulated doubts a few more layers. It was as if a hazy mist was shrouded in front of his eyes. The key that can open all clues appears.

But obviously, the arrival of one troublesome thing will never be the end. Soon, another troublesome thing came to him, because when Jin Heng was still busy looking for the whereabouts of Feng Zhichun and his doppelgänger, However, the ancestor of the Shi family who had been concealed by him with various reasons and had not yet learned the truth suddenly asked to see him.

And when Jin Heng, who didn't know what happened, entered the gate of the Shi family from among the hundreds of surnames, and stood outside the ancestral hall of the Shi surname depicted in the painting, Jin Heng, who obviously felt that the atmosphere here was a little different today, frowned Mei was silent for a while, and then heard the ancestor of the Shi family slowly appearing from the clouds above asking him in an unhurried voice,

"Jin Suoyang, how many days have passed, have you not found the one who killed me, Shi Shi?"

"..."

These words sounded vaguely reproachful, and they deliberately delayed for many days with the same reason, and Jin Heng, who knew that this matter would definitely go wrong if it was dragged on like this, had a hesitant expression on the same face as above, The stern-eyed ancestors of the Shi family looked at each other without saying a word. It took a long time to hear the old man who had always had a good temper and said coldly in a tone that seemed to see through everything,

"Why didn't you answer me? Is it true that I haven't found out yet, or is there something else hidden?"

"..."

"Jin Suoyang, let me ask you again, has the person who killed Shi Wenbiao, a descendant of my Shi family, no clues?"

The ancestors of the Shi family asked these questions a little strangely. Jin Heng, who is usually not good at words, didn't know how to explain the ins and outs of this matter to the ancestors for a while, so he could only open his mouth and think with a slightly wrong expression. For the sake of telling some truths.

But before he opened his mouth, the ancestor of the Shi family who had already lost his patience after asking a few questions suddenly became furious, and threw a completely burned red rope at Jin Heng with his head down all the time without looking at his face. , This was deliberately concealed for many days, so that the old ancestor who lost his usual dignity could only point to the trembling and pale-faced woman who was hiding at the side of the ancestral hall, and stared at Jin Heng whose face suddenly turned cold and shouted,

"Okay you bastard! Do you really think I don't know what you are hiding on purpose? You see for yourself who this is! Shi's widow is here! How dare you argue with me! Then Qin's Why don’t your unfilial sons and grandsons take the initiative to show up! You are required to stand in front of him and bear all these crimes now! Killing your father, mother, and younger brother! You don’t even know how to repent after so many years! This beast deserves to be struck by lightning! You can still live in this world! Do you really think that the way of heaven has never opened its eyes! Jin Suoyang!"
