Chapter 45: Distress in the Cave
The noon sun was in full bloom, after Dou Xiaoyang tied Ling'er into the stable, his forehead was already covered with dense sweat, and he raised his fingers to wipe it off, Fu Li Luo combed Ling'er's tail hair with a very light face, looked at his dark eyes and smiled lightly: "Where did General Dou find such a white horse? It looks old and decrepit, is it possible that it can still follow the general to the battlefield?"
While combing Ling'er's hair, she casually inquired how he got Ling'er, she secretly went to the little boy who sold horses last time, and the man swore that he didn't sell Ling'er, so she guessed that Ling'er was taken away.
Dou Xiao raised his sword eyebrows and frowned slightly, the fingertips resting on Ling'er's broad back paused, and raised his eyebrows to look at her: "I happened to bump into it lying on the side of the road that night, and took off the reins. His rough fingers touched the yellow hair on the side of Ling'er's mouth, and his phoenix eyes were full of tenderness, like treating the woman he liked.
That day, I went to Dongyang Wangfu as a guest, and when I came back at night, when I passed through that deserted alley, I saw two people sneakily pulling a white horse forward, and the white horse fell to the ground.
He felt strange, and ordered his personal attendant Jintong to check, the two thieves looked at Jintong in brocade clothes, and before anyone approached, he was scared and fell to the ground and bowed, it turned out that the two thieves planned to steal the white horse in the dead of night, who knew that they ran into them, begged for mercy and was whipped by Jintong, begged grandpa to tell grandma and ran away, Jintong pulled the reins to get it up, and pulled it for a while and didn't see it get up, Jintong asked him to go over with a bitter face, who knew that as soon as he approached it, it got up obediently.
He took advantage of the moonlight to look at it carefully, and was suddenly startled, no wonder he saw it from a distance, he knew it, he had seen it a few times when he went to Ningxi Hou's Mansion before.
He seemed to hear the delicate girl in red call it Ling'er, he whispered in its ear indistinctly, but he didn't expect it to rub its face lightly against his chest.
A warm current hit my heart, so I brought it back to the house, which can be regarded as a thought left by the old man!
Countless lonely nights, as long as he thinks of the girl who died early, his heart is like a sharp knife, and it hurts!
I still remember that year, there was a lot of snow, he leaned under the acacia tree of her house and watched her dress up to get married, he was scarlet, and he drunk himself with hatred, and finally Jintong found him who was frozen on the stone bench, who knew that he woke up in the middle of the night and got a bad news, the favored Ningxi Hou Mansion was beheaded by the whole house, and even the girl who had just married was tortured and killed!
He didn't know how he got out, he only remembered that Jin Tong broke two ribs by him because he prevented him from going out, he hurriedly ordered the dead man to go to Ningxi Hou Mansion to save people, and he faced the blizzard hurricane alone, trembling and went to Annan Shizi's Mansion to find the girl, but the news he got was that she ran to Ningxi Hou Mansion, and he kept rushing there, but in addition to snow and blood along the way, where was her figure?
The wind and snow shot at him like a knife, but his heart had already shattered to the ground with the blood red on the road, and according to Jintong, when they took people to look for him, he had already frozen into an ice sculpture next to the bloodstain.
His thoughts were misty, cold sweat broke out on his sideburns, and the hand on Ling'er's shoulder trembled slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in the corner of Fu Liluo's eyes, and his lips curled: "General Dou, what's wrong with you?" Looking at his blue and black face, she was shocked!
Dou Xiaoyang looked stunned, and turned his head not to look at her: "I remembered some old things, which made Miss Gu smile!" He stroked the corners of his forehead, only to feel a throbbing pain in the corners of his eyes, and his heart seemed to be out of breath, and his whole body was sore.
Fu Liluo looked at the man's bleak face, her eyebrows curled up slightly, she raised her head and stared at the blue sky, her confused expression gradually became clearer, "General Dou, let's go back quickly!"
It's noon, and I woke up early, but I'm a little hungry now!
The corners of Dou Xiaoyang's mouth pulled out a smile: "I'm sorry! Let's go to Qingfangxuan for dinner!"
He instructed the little man who was walking the horses on the hillside to go to the racecourse in the forecourt to invite the guests to Qingfangxuan, and he took Fu Liluo in the opposite direction.
The clouds rolled up, and the cold wind rolled up the plain white clothes of the girl next to him, he frowned and deliberately distanced himself from her, but he still smelled a strange fragrance coming, the fragrance was beautiful and beautiful, compared to the gaudy smell of rouge gouache, but there was more sweet and fragrant flowers and fruits, he turned his head sideways and inhaled gently, his fingers swept the corners of his mouth, and he always kept a few people away from her.
"Where is this going, General?" she brushed the green silk from her lips and raised her little face to look at him, as if not noticing his strange demeanor.
He bent down and marched into the circular corridor, and suddenly turned his eyes to her: "What's the matter?
His deep eyes were a little darker than before, but a smile swept across his face.
She brushed aside the withered branches and yellow leaves on the top of her head, and drilled under the plane tree, with a light smile on her face: "What did the general say! Everyone knows that the ancient lady of Otsuka Zaifu is arrogant, who dares to buy it?" The watery cherry blossom lips pursed slightly, and her eyes looked at the man in front of her.
Dou Xiaoyang stood still at the stairs of the corridor, patted the waddulation on the hem of his clothes, and his eyes sank: "Didn't anyone buy it?
Her heart froze, her face was still pale and pale, but the thin hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, her eyes flickering slightly at him, but her voice was lowered: "The general said that he laughed, no one had ever been..."
She passed by him as if she was running away, holding her skirt lightly with her bare hands and trying not to be next to him, but her pupils were full of mist, and she raised her eyebrows slightly to look around, but her heart jumped suddenly, like soybeans roasted on the stove, her face was as hot as fire.
Dou Xiaoyang looked at her pretty face like the glow of the sun, only felt angina pectoris in his eyebrows, his body was stunned, and he walked over busily.
The two of them walked with their own thoughts, carefully not to get too close, through the small arches in four and five places, and then bent over the winding green rockery, but turned into the small crack on the side slope of the rockery, the crack is full of green and yellow withered vines, and the gap is very narrow, only one person can go in, he reached out to open the messy withered grass vines, and what caught his eye was a red bronze iron door, she opened her eyes and watched him idly from the waist to find a ring button, along the mark on the iron door buckle, only to hear a dangling, he suddenly turned around to protect her behind him, the iron door whirlwind from the bottom to the top, straight into the stone platform crack of the upper beam, The huge vibration force brought up the dust and debris on the cave wall, she raised Supa to cover her face, glanced at Dou Xiaoyang suspiciously, coughed lightly, and looked at him with her eyebrows: "General, where is this? It seems that no one has been here for a long time." ”
She leaned against the edge of the iron door with her slender waist shining, and her apricot eyes suddenly widened at the gray wall, and there was nothing but gray and white.
"No one knows this place except you and me. He brushed the dust off his shoulders, pulled out the ring button on the iron door, and saw another loud bang, and the iron door fell straight down, deep in the cracks of the lime floor.
She took a few steps back, and her body was shaken by the powerful iron door, and she stood up unsteadily, and her red lips opened lightly with her eyes like a torch: "So, this is your secret base!
Her shallow eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and she stood firmly in front of him.
"But it's not! If a catastrophe comes, you may not be able to run away if you want to! It's all my fault for my negligence, how did I let you know?" he frowned nervously, and his dark eyes looked at her with a slight playful look, but his thin lips pursed slightly smiled deeply.
She squeezed Supa in the palm of her hand, hurriedly tilted her head to avoid his hot gaze, lowered her eyebrows and looked at the bluestone paved ground, her face was slightly drunk, but she tried her best to argue: "I... I won't.... Won't say. The voice was like a mosquito, but he heard it clearly.
suddenly
He stared behind her with cold eyes, reached out to his mouth and made a shushing gesture to her, she was awe-struck there, only to feel a cold wind on her back, she tightened Supa, a small face was half white, and her mist-like beautiful eyes looked at the man in front of her hopefully, suddenly dizzy, a trace of clear breath rushed into the nasal cavity, and the man was rough Heavy gasps swept down from the top of her head, her pretty face was pressed tightly on his broad chest, her cheeks were hot like fire, she struggled to poke her head out, she didn't want the man to turn around in place, and locked her tightly in her arms, her eyes were like a glow, her clear eyes rose with bursts of white mist, one hand against his hot chest, and her lips moved: "Put... Let go... I." The words were broken several times, and the pursed cherry lips trembled, as if they had been rudely fried.
She thought that she was not as weak as the woman next to her, and she couldn't think that she could push him away with all the strength of her body, she was a little discouraged, was she still as useless as in her previous life, was she really not as good as a man?
His heart was beating like thunder, and the hands holding her delicate body trembled, and he caught a glimpse of her red cheeks and the moist corners of her eyes, he let go of her weakly, but stretched out his hand to block her eyes, and pouted at the gray wall opposite: "Don't move, there are snakes there!"
She looked stunned, tightened the white fur brocade cloak on her shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to look at that place....
Facing the light cast from the crack in the iron door, she opened her eyes wide, only to see that in the mottled crack of the gray wall, there was a large snake with the thickness of a porcelain bowl circling, and the whole body was still spitting red letters, she was shocked and hurriedly covered the corners of her mouth, swallowed back the scream that jumped to the edge of her throat, and a pair of thin hands grabbed the placket of the man in front of her.
She Fu Li Luo Pingsheng is most afraid of the cold living creatures, I remember one year to follow her father to Dabi Mountain, she was bitten by a big snake that suddenly burst out, that time she was bedridden for a whole month, since then she didn't even dare to go to the courtyard, for fear of another big snake from the verdant grass flower bed.
Dou Xiaoyang looked at the little head buried in his chest, the satin-like green silk rose with the wind, brushed his resolute face, scratched and itchy, like a kitten coquettish, and suddenly his eyes were full of warmth as if he was moistened by the warm sun, and his hand in mid-air hung down at some point, hugging the slender body in his arms tightly, raising his hand with bare eyes, and pulling away the green silk next to her ear for her, when he touched the girl's slippery neck, he suddenly retracted his hand in a panic, and the tips of his ears rendered a red mark.
It seemed that half a century had passed, and a burst of hurried footsteps came through the cracks in the hard iron door, and he was in turmoil, and he lowered his eyebrows slightly to look at the person in his arms, but he noticed a strange breath, lowered his eyelids and saw that the girl's originally bright red cheeks were slightly white, and the autumn mist eyes were locked and fainted.
"Miss, where are you!"
Outside, the voice of her little maid fluttered around, and he frowned, picked her up and walked forward.
"Sister Xi'er.. Where are you, sister?"
On the path of the stone pile on the right side of the rockery lake center, three girls looked around anxiously....
"Manro, Sister Huanbi, let's go over there! there's no road here. Dou Yuan sat on the stone pier by the lake and gasped for breath as she pointed to the Luoying trail on the other side of the lake.
None of them noticed that under the rockery beside them, a man in an ink-colored brocade dress was holding the unconscious girl in his arms, walking towards the green avenue...
