Chapter 175: The Sword Cultivator Cousin in the Immortal Cultivation Novel (37)
"What?" He spoke in a low voice. At this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow through the bamboo forest, making the branches and leaves rustle. Lin Xi did not hear clearly what he said for a moment.
"Nothing." Wei Qingchuan retracted his gaze and returned to his usual solemn expression. "Although you have a clear conscience, I cannot bully you just because you are young. Let's stop applying the medicine."
Lin Xi's eyes widened when she heard what he said, "How have you ever bullied me? It's just applying some medicine."
But even though she glared at Wei Qingchuan for a long time, he showed no sign of giving in. Lin Xi had no choice but to compromise and said, "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want me to apply the medicine on you, I'll give you the medicine and you can ask Taoist Song to apply it on you."
Seeing that she no longer insisted, Wei Qingchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and nodded gently, "Okay."
Lin Xi pouted and made a face at him, then went to rummage through her storage bag. However, after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the bottle of medicine that she had clearly thrown at the top. She intensified her searching movements in annoyance, and accidentally knocked the storage bag to the ground, and all kinds of strange things rolled all over the floor.
Lin Xi screamed, squatted down, and frantically picked up the things on the ground. Wei Qingchuan naturally would not stand idly by, and also bent down to help pick up the things on the ground.
When he took all the things that rolled to his side and handed them to Lin Xi, Lin Xi reached out to take it, but the next moment, she looked at Wei Qingchuan's chest and her eyes suddenly widened. The storage bag she had just packed fell to the ground, and the things in it were scattered all over the floor again.
"Cousin...what is this?" Lin Xi ignored the things on the ground. Instead, with red eyes and a trembling voice, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Wei Qingchuan's chest.
Noticing her strangeness, Wei Qingchuan looked down at his chest. It turned out that he had come out of the water in a hurry and his clothes were loose. When he bent down to pick up something for Lin Xi, the Jade Unicorn that he had been wearing close to his body slipped out from the loose collar of his clothes and was now hanging in front of his chest.
"This... this is what my late father... my late mother left for me." Seeing his Jade Unicorn, Wei Qingchuan's eyes darkened and he said in a difficult tone, "What's wrong?"
"Can you take it off so I can take a look?" Lin Xi tried her best to control her trembling body, and there was even a hint of pleading in her tone.
When Wei Qingchuan saw her like this, a strange emotion suddenly arose in his heart. He pursed his lips, bent down with a serious face, picked up the storage bag on the ground, put all the things in it, handed it to Lin Xi, and then carefully took off the Jade Unicorn from his neck.
Lin Xi took it with red eyes and stroked the warm jade qilin carefully. She saw that the jade quality of the jade qilin was not very good, but the carving was very good. The jade qilin, which was the size of a knuckle, was carved vividly and majestically, and on the back of the jade qilin were two rows of small characters engraved "Qilin brings good luck, Chu's misfortune brings prosperity", and in the bottom corner there was also a small "Chuan" character engraved.
After seeing the Qilin, Lin Xi went to look at the red string that tied the Jade Qilin. It was unknown what material the red string was made of, but it was extremely tough. Even though it had just been soaked in water, its color was still bright red.
Lin Xi looked at it carefully, and when she saw clearly the knotting technique on it, the tears that she had been holding back finally fell down and hit the Jade Qilin in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Wei Qingchuan frowned even more when he saw her crying, but then he seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of expectation in his tone, his eyes sparkled, "Have you seen this thing?"
"I don't know either." Lin Xi bit her lip and shook her head, sniffing and saying, "It's just that when I saw this thing, I felt it was very familiar, as if I had one before, especially the way of tying the rope, I always felt like I've seen it somewhere, and I wanted to cry when I saw it."
When Wei Qingchuan heard Lin Xi say she didn't know, he remembered that she had lost all her memories. The light in his eyes dimmed a little. Besides, the Jade Qilin was a toy that mortal parents often gave to their children in the hope that they would be safe and healthy. It was not uncommon.
He couldn't help but secretly laugh at his own stupidity. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? But he suddenly heard Lin Xi's last sentence. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, "You said... have you seen this knot before?"
"I don't dare to confirm it, but I feel it is very familiar." Lin Xi spread out her hands and pointed at a knot on it that looked like a plum blossom. "Especially this knot. Although I have lost my memory, if I were given a rope, I think I should be able to tie it directly."
Wei Qingchuan's calm mask was completely broken, his voice was difficult and seemed to be squeezed out from his chest, "This plum blossom knot was created by my late mother. Except for the two personal maids beside her, she never taught it to outsiders."
“But those two died together with my late mother... and left no offspring. How could you..." His face was pale and his tall body swayed. He couldn't help but take a step back, but in the next moment he suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked into Lin Xi's phoenix eyes that were exactly the same as his own, and laughed out loud.
"No, no, there is another person, there is another person who can also do this plum blossom knot. Oh, your last name is Lin, and that person's last name is also Lin. Oh, yes, let's go find Uncle Five and ask him to restore your memory. I know who you are now!"
Lin Xi looked at him, who had lost his composure and was a little crazy. She took a step forward, grabbed Wei Qingchuan's hand with some fear, and said in a dazed tone: "Cousin, don't be like this..."
Lin Xi's timid voice immediately restored some clarity to Wei Qingchuan. He looked at her hand that was grasping his, but he did not pull it away. Instead, he held her hand in his palm with his backhand, and his tone was filled with hope that was difficult to conceal: "Maybe you and I are really cousins."
"Really?" Hearing him say this, Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She didn't even bother to ask him why he had lost his composure just now. She quickly raised her head and looked at Wei Qingchuan, her watery eyes full of surprise.
Wei Qingchuan lowered his eyes, Lin Xi's petite figure reflected in his eyes. He took her hand and slowly walked to the stone table. After Lin Xi sat down obediently, he told her the past that her father did not want to mention.
"My grandmother had a son and a daughter, my father Wei Xuan and my aunt Wei Zhen. Unfortunately, my aunt was weak since childhood and died before she was three years old."
"My grandmother loved her daughter so much that she was heartbroken. She fell seriously ill and almost passed away. My grandfather was extremely worried and looked for medicine, but it had little effect. Until one day, my great-grandfather brought a little girl whose eyes and eyebrows were almost identical to those of my deceased aunt..."
