Chapter 515: Soul Hearts
Thick boots stepped through the accumulated deep snow, stepped on the bluestone steps step by step, and walked into the courtyard with flying eaves and arches. The obsolescence of the rubble corners can be renovated, and the layout can be changed over time, but the memories given to you by this place will always stay in that moment!
The sound of snow trampling echoed in my ears, but the fingertips that clasped the strings were involuntarily exerting force, it was undeniable that this place had hurt itself too deeply, that kind of hurt was in the depths of memory and heart, in the dead of night, when the lightning and thunder roared, that heartfelt fear crawled out of a corner, showing its hideousness, ruthlessly and cruelly tearing itself apart again and again.
Starting from the first animal that couldn't speak, slowly, slowly, the once innocent and flawless self became a killer with bloody hands. The bobcat in the room was so similar to itself, it would not have taken the initiative to attack people, but it knew that if it wanted to survive, it had to fight hard, just like the self who was locked up with it at the time, the six-year-old self!
The pain of the claws tearing through the skin seemed to continue, tormenting him over and over again in every sleepless night, and in the thirteen years since, he has torn apart everyone who stood in his way with the claws in his hands.
There is no emotion, coldness and indifference, this is the truth of survival in troubled times, but this indestructibility has been completely subverted by the appearance of a person!
He appeared in front of him without warning, dressed in ill-fitting clothes, with a ridiculous beard and a scar pasted indiscriminately, standing behind the seven-fold light veil and looking at himself stupidly, ridiculous so that he disdained it, but he was such a bad boy with a ruffian atmosphere, in that short period of time, bit by bit, inch by inch, penetrated into his heart, when he wanted to pull out, when he wanted to leave, he only got the pain to the bone! The qiē he gave was firmly engraved into his heart like a rock, and if he wanted to separate, unless he cut the bones and flesh and turned the lotus embers into ashes, it would be difficult to abandon them again!
The snowflakes were very large, and the appearance under the cover of the wind and snow hat was not clear, but the hand that clasped his palm was moist and revealing a trace of sweat.
Even after all these years, he was still afraid to step into this place that had given him infinite shadows!
Xian Yi looked at the flawless beside him with some distress, looked at his silent eyebrows, felt the unknown struggle under his fingers, and suddenly felt a sour nose.
From the age of nine, Childe brought himself and his brother home from the temple, and he accompanied him for eleven years. At that time, it was still March with peach blossoms, and the weather was like a child's face, and when every spring rain was thundering and thundering, Childe always locked himself in his room, and no one was allowed to approach. It wasn't until one night, when he had a high fever that he stayed by his side, watching him roar with nightmares, and watching him curl up helplessly in a corner of the bed with red eyes, that he knew what kind of struggle he had in the dark! He was only eight years old that year......
That night, for the first time, he cried like a child and fell into his arms, telling his fear and fear, and his thin body trembled, making people feel like a knife in their hearts, and they hated to live in their place! How can that obviously immature and sensitive heart endure such unbearable torture, he is so stubborn hovering between strength and vulnerability, his strength is always revealed in front of his opponents and enemies, his vulnerability, but he is locked in the darkness!
And now, thirteen years after leaving this place that filled him with nightmares, he is forced to step here again, to face a qiē again, to face the one who gave him this pain!
"I heard that Childe's memory is very amazing, but I don't know how much I still have an impression of this place. Xu Promise walked aside, looking at Flawless with a smile, and the words with deep meaning woke Flawless up, he answered, and looked up ahead.
That qiē is unforgettable!
"Flawless...... Remember!" In just four words, Flawless stopped talking, but his steps gradually became calm, his face returned to normal, and the corners of his lips even hooked up a faint smile.
The red plum blossomed, striking and unusual in the vast expanse, and it was getting late, and the group of thirty people passed through the courtyard lined with sentry posts, and was taken to the Blue Water Pavilion to settle down.
"This courtyard has a total of five courtyards, and Childe's subordinates will settle in the courtyard outside, and from here they will enter where the master lives, and the cronies that Childe brings with him can live in the courtyard with Childe, and we will arrange all the food and clothing we will arrange for Yunzhuang, and there is no need to worry about it. In addition, because it is located on the border, everything must be guarded against, after night is a curfew, anyone is not allowed to move around without permission, Childe's identity is extraordinary, if he is injured by mistake, we can not afford to return to Yunzhuang, so please Gongzi Yanlu's subordinates, don't move around casually! Promise to leave!" After the promise was finished, he turned around and left, and then let people close the door of the Blue Water Pavilion, with the heavy sound of the door, the people in that courtyard were imprisoned in the Blue Water Pavilion.
From the beginning of entering the village until he promised to leave, Flawless has never seen Leng Qiuzhi's figure, Huo Xiyang has already lost his disguise, and there is no need to make the appearance of an old man at this moment, after Promise left, he went to Flawless's side and whispered: "Childe, it seems that something is wrong, Childe has entered Guiyunzhuang, why is Leng Qiuzhi still avoiding? Could it be that this is the intention of promising one person, not Leng Qiuzhi's order?"
Flawless thought for a moment, and did not answer Huo Xiyang's words, but just raised his head and looked out of the half-propped window.
Guiyunzhuang is backed by Yashui, built in the upward pattern, looking from a distance, overlapping, the scale is very grand and spectacular, there is only one road into the village, the road is full of bright posts and dark whistles, this kind of road has a benefit in Guiyunzhuang, that is, the entry and exit are only this road, so it is very conducive to defense, and if someone in this village wants to find him to go out, unless it is from the cliff behind the villa to jump into Yashui, otherwise there is no way back!
The promenade is brightly lit, illuminating the whole courtyard, where the red plum is bright, the cold fragrance is fragrant, and it is intoxicating. There was a sound of footsteps coming from afar, and Flawless listened attentively, and then made a silent movement towards Huo Xiyang.
The footsteps showed that there were a lot of people coming, but they were sparse and ordinary, and they should just be handymen or girls in the village.
Flawless returned to the table and sat down, Xian Yi and the others had already tidied up the room, and one by one they arrived in the flower hall where Flawless was.
Sure enough, as Flawless expected, all the people who came were just ordinary people, and the one who took the lead was about forty years old, and the quality of the clothing should be the housekeeper, and sure enough, after the man entered the door, he bowed his head very respectfully, and did not dare to look at the flawless glance, only let the food be brought in, bowed down and said: "General Leader Xu instructed the villain to bring dinner to the son, the villain is Zheng Chengkang, the housekeeper of Guiyunzhuang, Commander Xu said, what does the son need to be ordered, as long as we can do it in Guiyunzhuang, we will never shirk." In addition, the villain of the child's subordinates who settled in the outer courtyard had already ordered someone to send another dinner, and the villain served the childe to eat. ”
"There is a housekeeper of Lao Zheng. Flawless only smiled slightly, after the food was served, he motioned for Huo Xiyang and the others to sit down, and when he saw that there was wine in the banquet, he couldn't help but smile: "The plum blossoms in this Blue Water Pavilion are particularly good, I heard that Guiyunzhuang brews plum blossom wine every year with plum blossoms and the mountain spring at the top of the cloud peak, the aroma is fresh and elegant, the color is slightly yellow, crystal clear, the entrance is mellow, refreshing, it is called Dream Hui, but it is this wine?"
Zheng Chengkang nodded his head when he heard this, bowed down and picked up the steaming wine jug, and poured it for everyone one by one: "This wine has the effect of treating cough and chest tightness, in such a cold weather, drinking a cup of hot is very comfortable, which is specially brought by Commander Xu to the villain for the son to taste." ”
"Oh?" reached out and put the wine glass on the tip of his nose to smell it, and raised his eyes to the people in the banquet: "It's really fragrant, and it tastes good." When he had finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Childe!" Xian Yi sat beside him and reached out to grab the glass, and Flawless smiled when he saw this: "You have your own wine, what are you going to do when you come to rob me." ”
"Childe can't drink, or eat freely. With that, he put the cup in front of the bow, and then placed the meal in front of Flawless. Wine can strengthen courage, although there is no reason to follow, but Yu Wufang, this cup of throat, he did slowly calm down.
Because of the presence of outsiders, the meal was quite quiet, and the current situation made everyone unclear So, after Zheng Chengkang took people down, Huo Xiyang still wanted to ask Flawless thoughts, how could Flawless not be able to drink at all, and he was sleepy and tired after eating with his cheeks scarleted, looking at his tired appearance, everyone was silent, Xian Yi waited for him to sleep, bow and ghost wings, Yu Chenghao and the three of them went out of the courtyard and gathered people to guard at the four corners, after all, this is on the territory of Leng Qiuzhi, and they have to be guarded.
The Blue Water Pavilion was quite calm, but the atmosphere in the secret room of Guiyunzhuang was suffocating.
Leng Qiuzhi sat at the table, silently sipping hot tea, his face was as usual, but the back of his fingers that held the teacup was cyan, showing his suppressed anger at this moment.
"Why do you advocate and bring people into the village? The voice was very soft, and it seemed to be careless, and then the teacup was gently put down, Leng Qiuzhi stood up, and slowly walked to Xu Promise's side, with a cold light in his eyes, and asked word by word.
Xu Yu didn't move, didn't raise his head, only arched his hand slightly, as usual: "The five masters are here, that person will definitely try his best to contact them, rather than letting him do it behind his back, it is easier to control the situation by putting him in the moment." ”
"You also know that the five masters are all in this Guiyun Village, and when you didn't explore their bottom line, you let that person enter the village, you said how he could survive in such a troubled world at a young age, if he didn't have the ability, how could he still live until now!
The anger couldn't be suppressed, Leng Qiuzhi shouted and reprimanded the promise, but the promise just stood silently, and only bowed his head after a while, and said: "It's because I didn't think it through, didn't take into account the overall situation, and hoped that the master would punish him." ”
Leng Qiuzhi looked at him for a long time with an unkind face, and then said: "What you do in the future must be discussed with me, and you can't make a decision alone!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and when the door of the secret room was closed and his footsteps were far away, Xu Yu slowly raised his head, glanced back, and then reached into his arms and took out a paper crane.
There are too many choices to make in this life, good and bad, past and future, and every choice will affect countless people around you, this time...... And how to do it!
