At three o'clock in the morning, Ma Dingdang stared blankly at the ceiling with her eyes open, and the woman's words kept echoing in her mind.
'It's fruitless!'
'It will make you miserable!'
again and again.
Looking back on what happened this evening, Ma Dingdang was very disapproving of that woman at first.
But when the topic shifted to herself, her mind changed.
She remembered very clearly that among the people she knew, there was no such person as the woman in black.
If the woman in black knows her name and knows that she is a member of the Ma family, it can be explained by coincidence and careful consideration, but the following words cannot be explained by the above reasons at all.
Thinking about it carefully, the woman in black made all the points.
For example, she would have fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, and she would have died at the hands of that man.
This sentence should be said by Jiang Zhenzu, that is, the general. The mission of the Ma family for generations is to hunt down the general. If 'Youqiu' did not appear, she would most likely fall in love with the general.
However, paper cannot contain the fire. One day she will discover Jiang Zhenzu's true identity, and then the two of them will probably confront each other with swords.
With the general's strength, it is reasonable for him to die in his hands.
And that man full of surprises should refer to "He Youqiu". With his appearance, his destiny has indeed changed.
Not only that, but the fate of Xiaoling, the next generation of the Ma family, has also changed.
Without him, Xiaoling's childhood would have been like hers, spending every day either drawing talisman or reading obscure Taoist books.
But why did that woman use the words "full of surprises" to describe "asking"?
Although it is true that he often surprises people, is it a bit too much to use the word "full"?
As for those unspoken words, although Ma Dingdang didn't want to think about it, she had to admit that the woman did speak her mind.
Over the years, that man has quietly entered her heart. Whenever she meets other people, Ma Dingdang will unconsciously compare others with that man.
So far, that man is still victorious.
But Ma Dingdang has not forgotten the Ma family's ancestral motto, which sounds very inhumane.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but think and guess whether their ancestors had been betrayed by men. Otherwise, how could their ancestors have set such a family rule.
However, she could only think in her mind that if she really asked Aunt Dana, her aunt would probably blow her head off.
The next day, Ma Dingdang took a rare nap and didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning.
Ma Danna saw her niece looking like she was not awake and asked curiously.
"Dingdang, why did you get up so late today?"
Ma Dingdang yawned and randomly found an excuse to reply: "I read too late last night, and it was already morning before I knew it."
Madonna took this seriously and comforted her: "Don't do that next time."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, Aunt Dana."
After Ma Dingdang finished speaking, she looked around. She always felt that something was wrong just now. It turned out that the noise of two 'little devils' was missing.
"Hey, where are Xiaoling and Mao You?"
As soon as she mentioned the two children, Ma Danna's expression suddenly changed and she muttered.
"I'm going to take the two of them out to buy schoolbags."
"Huh?" Ma Dingdang said unexpectedly: "Don't they two want to go to school? Why are they running to buy schoolbags again?"
Madonna sighed, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, I beg this boy to find a way."
"Now they are eagerly counting the days until school starts!"
When Ma Dingdang saw this, he smiled and didn't answer the question, and quietly slipped into the bathroom.
Although my aunt didn't say it, she was obviously 'jealous'.
Xiaoling, this girl, has been married to Youqiu since she was a child. She still remembers that when she moved three years ago, her aunt planned to take the opportunity of moving to go back to her own home and take Xiaoling back.
As a result, the little girl burst into tears when she heard it.
The crying was heartbreaking, and in the end I was vomiting and crying at the same time.
In desperation, Aunt Dana could only follow Xiaoling and move to her current home.
Over the years, my aunt has gotten older and older, and her magic power has gradually declined. Now she basically doesn't go out.
But when people are free, it is easy to think about this thing.
In the past, Ma Danna didn't think it was okay if Xiaoling didn't kiss her, but now she doesn't think so.
The most important thing is that when Xiaoling was studying Taoism, she was obviously more interested in Maoshan Taoism, but had no interest in the Ma family's abilities.
The fundamental reason is that the people taking the class are different.
Maoshan Taoism was taught by Li Jie, and Majia Taoism was taught by Ma Danna.
And in every quiz, Xiaoling's Maoshan Taoism scores were better than Majia Taoism scores.
How could Madonna accept this?
Xiaoling is the next generation of the Ma family, how could she have left behind her own Taoist skills?
If things go on like this, when Xiaoling comes out of the mountain, won’t she be mistaken for being a descendant of the ‘Maoshan Sect’?
Therefore, Ma Danna kept trying to compete with Li Jie, but she never won.
Of course, although Ma Danna was a little dissatisfied, one thing she couldn't deny was that Li Jie's education method was indeed better and more advanced than hers.
Although Xiaoling's progress in learning Ma's Taoism is slower than that of Maoshan, it is still above the average.
Otherwise, Madonna is not so easy to talk to.
On the other side, Li Jie was walking around the mall with his two little ones. Since the last time he used homemade desserts as bait, the two little ones' desire to go to school has never been greater.
Xiaoling raised her head and asked expectantly: "Uncle, when can we go to school?"
"Idiot!" Mao You raised his little head proudly: "Didn't I just say it yesterday, there are still ninety-three days."
Xiaoling glared at her good friend who scolded her for being stupid, and retorted in a coquettish voice.
"Huh! I'm not an idiot! You are the idiot!"
She decided not to play with Mao You from now on.
Xiao Maoyou glanced at Xiao Xiaoling and made a face.
"Just a little bit, only a fool would say that he is not a fool!"
Xiaoling tilted her head and pursed her lips and said, "Humph! I won't play with you anymore!"
Xiao Maoyou cockily turned his head to the other side and fought back without showing any signs of weakness.
"Huh! If you don't want to play, you won't play!"
Li Jie looked at the two little guys competing with each other with a smile. Similar scenes would happen several times a day. As soon as he turned around, the two little guys would forget the previous unpleasantness and play together happily again.
'Um?'
Suddenly, Li Jie felt a prying gaze. He followed the feeling and saw a woman wearing a black lace dress standing in the opposite aisle.
The two people's eyes met in the sky above the shopping mall, and Li Jie immediately understood what the other person meant.
