During those days in the previous life, Gu Yanfei hardly ever went out, and he didn't know much about some things in the capital.

She only knew that first the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Anding died suddenly, with bleeding from his mouth and nose, followed by the young son of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and then the two girls of the Shaoqing family of Taichang Temple...

First children, and later even adults were infected, and more and more people died, including honorable courtiers and ordinary people.

At first, only three or four people died a day, and later almost hundreds of people died every day. The government reported that it was a plague, and asked everyone not to go out as much as possible to avoid infecting each other.

During that time, the entire capital was shrouded in fear of death, fearing that it would be their own turn next.

At that time, the government drove those infected with the plague out of the city, surrounded a village and guarded it by officers and soldiers, and left them to fend for themselves. It was Princess Kang Gu Yunxi who, regardless of safety, went to the plague village to eat and live with those patients, and then turned the tide and wiped out the plague that might have killed tens of thousands of people.

Countless people in the capital were grateful for Princess Kang's kindness, and they all spontaneously ran to the gate of Kang Wang's mansion to kowtow to her. There was a sea of ​​people, and many people even enshrined longevity tablets for her.

These things were heard and pieced together by Gu Yanfei from the gossip of the maids and mothers-in-law of the Hou Mansion in her previous life.

Turn the tide? The corners of Gu Yanfei's lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes fell on the dense snowflakes outside the window.

There is almost no aura in this small world, and it is impossible for Mrs. Murong to be refined.

When a mortal dies, he is dead. When the corpse decays, corpse poison will be produced. The longer the time passes, the more poisonous the corpse poison will be in the corpse.

And Mrs. Murong is different from ordinary dead people, her corpse poison is stronger.

It was summer, and there were many flies and mosquitoes.

Children are weak and are most likely to be infected by corpse poison, and the poison is also the fastest, so it is the child who dies at the beginning, and the reaction of adults after being poisoned by corpse poison will be a day or two slower than children, the fastest one day, and the last After three or four days, those who are poisoned by the corpse will gradually die from the poison...

"Huh?" Gu Yanfei stopped the hand stroking his chin, and blinked.

In an instant, countless light spots appeared among the densely packed snowflakes outside, like a bright river of stars pouring down from the night sky, or like a fairy in the clouds pouring down a handful of treasures...

Thousands of points of light rushed towards her from all directions, reflecting the courtyard in a bright light.

It is merit.

Gu Yanfei's eyes suddenly brightened like stars, like a stealing cat, proud and satisfied.

She averted a disaster that was about to kill thousands of people, and this is the merit that God gave her back.

Well.

Although the way of heaven in this small world is not very pleasing, it is still quite generous.

Those thousands of firefly-like light spots quickly gathered around Gu Yanfei and submerged into her body, nourishing the internal organs and dredging the meridians of the whole body, making her feel completely new.

Gu Yanfei blinked, and immediately felt the harvest this time.

Her eyes could see more clearly, and she could even clearly see every petal of a certain red plum in the snowstorm.

The thing of merit is indeed more effective than any magic elixir!

"What?" Gu Yuan looked out of the window suspiciously, thinking that something was going on in the courtyard, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Yanfei was still savoring the changes in his body, it took a while before he came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm looking at the cat."

Gu Yuan didn't see any cats in the courtyard at all.

"Meow!"

The next moment, I heard a familiar meow from the other side of the blue brick wall.

A ball of fur jumped up the wall, light and steady, and the three-colored cat that had been wandering for a long time was finally willing to come back.

It looked more energetic than before going out, and the long hair all over its body was more fluffy and shiny, as if it had suddenly grown a circle.

This time she gained merit, and so did the cat.

However, the cat didn't seem to be in a good mood. He lowered his head and sniffed at the long fur on his body. The round cat's face wrinkled, showing a disgusted and disgusted expression.

The cat subconsciously sticks out its tongue to lick its fur, but then pauses as if thinking of something, half revealing its pink tongue.

It's... it's dirty and stinks!

A layer of snow had accumulated on the walls and the ground, and the cat jumped into the snowdrift, rolled around, and was covered in snow.

Gu Yanfei looked at the "sugar cat", couldn't help but hooked his lips, and smiled happily.

Seeing that Gu Yanfei was very happy to see the cat, Gu Yuan also smiled, his brows soft.

Raising such a kitten can make my sister smile, that's good!

Gu Yuan jokingly said, "Sister, your cat is really leather."

Although Gu Yanfei also thought her cat was skinny, today she felt that Qingguang was a little innocent.

The Murong family really stinks!

Thinking about it, Gu Yanfei couldn't help sighing: "It's so pitiful!"

"The dead are forced to stay in the world, and what is lost is the soul... and the merits of previous lives."

Mrs. Murong's soul has already been damaged, and she will be reborn as an animal in her next life. It will take at least a few reincarnations to fill up her soul bit by bit and be reborn as a human.

Everything in this world has a price.

The same is true for the members of Murong's family and Shangqing Daoist.

Gu Yuan vaguely heard that Gu Yanfei was saying that Mrs. Murong was pitiful, and he was noncommittal.

"Qingguang, you're back, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Juanbi trotted over from a certain direction, happily picked up the cat in the snow, and exclaimed, "Why does your body stink? ?”

"Qingguang, let me wash it for you. After washing it, use a smoker to dry your hair, and you will become fragrant again!"

Juanbi hugged the cat tenderly, talking non-stop to flatter her, but she couldn't get any response from the cat.

The word "stinky" she just said has already called the cat autistic.

The three-flowered cat closed its eyes, lying in the shape of a corpse in Juanbi's arms.

The man and the cat left quickly, leaving only the footprints left by the man and the cat in the snow.

The courtyard became empty again, only the wind and snow remained.

Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of Murong Mansion for a while, then turned his gaze to the direction of the ancestral hall, and said: "Once the soul is damaged, it needs to be nourished for a long time."

After a pause, Gu Yanfei's calm tone was tinged with sentimentality: "Our real grandmother is too."

"As a substitute, she should have lost her soul, but now she was lucky enough to preserve a trace of her soul."

"But only a trace."

substitute……

Even though Gu Yuan already had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't believe it when he heard Gu Yanfei say that.

Their real grandmother turned out to be Mrs. Gu's stand-in!

The events of these years since his father's death flashed across his mind in an instant, Gu Yuan's eyes seemed to set off a huge wave.

He took a deep breath, clenched the armrest of the armchair with one hand, collected himself, and then asked clearly: "Sister, what is a 'substitute'?"

Those few words of Gu Yanfei when he was in the ancestral hall were more for Mrs. Gu, the client.

Gu Yuan barely guessed four or five points.

"Substitutes and ecstasy are both Taoists' means of borrowing luck." Gu Yanfei's faint voice could not hear the joy or anger, "If someone has many disasters, you can find a blood relative who is compatible with each other, and use them as a substitute, one life for another .”

"Our real grandmother is Mrs. Tai's substitute and her blood relative."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's eyes became darker, he gradually calmed down, and speculated: "Sister, is our grandmother also surnamed Qi?"

Gu Yanfei nodded affirmatively, and gently fiddled with the compass she put on the desk.

The house was silent for a moment, and large flakes of snow were blown in from the window by the bleak cold wind.

Gu Yanfei looked down at the little snowflakes on the desk that turned into crystal drops, and remembered what Gu Yunzhen told her about her grandfather in the ancestral hall last night: after her father was born, her grandfather fell ill, and after that, he and Mrs. Tai relationship is not good.

Thinking about it, her and her elder brother's real grandmother passed away at that time.

What happened thirty years ago? !

Gu Yanfei's heart tightened slightly, and there was a little ripple in the heart lake, and he couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.

Obviously she has been in Yaoling Realm for two hundred years, and she has seen enough grievances, hatreds, joys and sorrows. No matter how miserable, bizarre, or terrifying stories, she has experienced them all. Still can't calm down.

After being silent for a while, Gu Yanfei regained his composure, and continued: "The 'substitute talisman' is drawn with the essence and blood of the substitute. Logically speaking, one should not be able to leave the master, but now it is placed in the tablet of grandfather. It is enshrined by the incense of Gu's descendants."

"This was probably done by my grandfather."

More than 30 years have passed, and everything has changed, people are dead, and people are going away. I am afraid that only Mrs. Tai herself knows many details.

However, the events of that year were not without clues.

"I will always know." Gu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed Gu Yanfei's soft hair, and smiled with his lips curled up. The gentle smile melted away the frost between his eyebrows and eyes, "There is me!"

What he said in another language was, you are a younger sister, what are you worrying about!

Gu Yanfei also smiled, with a bit of pride in his smile, and nodded seriously:

"Well, there is a brother!"

She is not alone, she has a brother.

The siblings looked at each other and smiled with the same warmth.

Gu Yuan didn't just casually comfort Gu Yanfei, he did have some ideas in his mind.

After all, he knows much more about the past of the Gu family than Gu Yanfei. His great-grandfather and grandfather should have been in Xizhou thirty-seven or eight years ago, and his grandfather was also married in Xizhou, so if he wants more clues, he has to send People go to Xizhou.

And the Qi family, if their real grandmother is really the blood relative of Mrs. Tai, then is it true that no one in the Qi family knows of her existence?

Not necessarily.

Since a person has existed, how can it be easily erased!

Gu Yanfei tilted her head with a smile, and said, "Grandmother's soul can be warmed up in the ancestral hall first, and when there is a chance..."

After speaking halfway, Gu Yanfei stopped abruptly. Gu Yanfei's pupils shrank, and his eyes widened slightly.

Her deep eyes fixed on Gu Yuan's heart.

"..." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, are you injured?" Gu Yanfei pointed to Gu Yuan's left chest.

Gu Yuan thought about it, and said casually: "Just now I was swept away by Shangqing's whisk, it's like a cat scratching, it's okay."

Gu Yanfei's eyes narrowed little by little.

This should be... a mark.
