Chapter 68: The Death of Evergreen

When Changqing saw Dongfang Yichen go out, he knelt on his heels, his eyes were full of helpless sadness, and his mind was full of the situation when he was brought into the room by Dongfang Yixian in the early morning, Dongfang Yixian sat in the chair with a tired face, looked at her and said, "Qing'er, you press my head, I didn't sleep well last night." ”

Changqing walked behind Dongfang Yixian, gently massaged his head, and said, "The eldest young master has always slept well, did he have anything to worry about last night?"

"No, it's just that some things can't be figured out, and it's dawn when I think about it. Dongfang Yixian closed his eyes and said: "It would be nice if Qing'er's massage technique for the head was as exquisite as the Jade Foot Sutra." ”

Changqing smiled and said: "I heard the shopkeeper of the antique shop say that this Jade Foot Sutra is the last volume, and the first two volumes are the techniques of head and body massage, but unfortunately I don't know where it has gone?"

"Oh, it turns out that Qing'er also knows a lot about the origin of this Jade Foot Sutra. Dongfang Yixian patted her hand and said, "I'm much better, I don't need to press it." Let me ask you a few things, and you should answer them truthfully, okay?"

"Yes, young master. Changqing lowered her hands and stood solemnly, only then did she realize that Dongfang Yixian did not let her come to massage, and she was immediately frightened.

"What year did your little brother die?" Dongfang Yixian stared at Changqing's eyes.

"He, he fell into the river and drowned when he was six years old. Changqing really couldn't think of why Dongfang Yixian asked her this question.

"Are you next to you?" Dongfang Yixian looked at Changqing, his voice was very gentle, as if he was chatting about family life.

"I'm here, or am I not?" Changqing said vaguely, "I went out with my brother and sister, they were playing on the bridge, and I was digging for camelina with my companions on the side of the road. I heard my brother scream, fell off the bridge, fell into the river, and when we went down to salvage him, he was already dead. Changqing choked up, recalling the painful past, which was extremely heavy.

Dongfang Yixian said: "So, your father sold you and your sister in grief. It wasn't until you were fifteen years old that you were sent home, that is, in the winter of that year, that your father sold you to Oriental Washington. ”

Changqing's face turned pale suddenly, she thought that for her life experience, Jin Gemen did it seamlessly, and no one would find any clues, but she didn't expect the eldest young master to know so clearly.

"The secret passage of Washington, how can it be easily discovered by you, that black shadow entering and leaving my Washington Mansion is like entering a no-man's land, don't you never think it is strange?" Dongfang Yixian's voice suddenly became cold.

Changqing was so frightened when he heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Young Master, spare your life." Qing'er never wanted to hurt you. She knew Washington's rules for dealing with spies, but she didn't expect that all of this was actually in Dongfang Yixian's hands, when did he find out?

"If you harm my heart, will you still have your life to live to this day?" Dongfang Yixian opened his eyes, leaned forward slightly while sitting in the chair, looked at Changqing who was kneeling at his feet, and said: "There is not much time left for you, but you don't know how to cherish it, what a good opportunity it was to get married last time, and now, the jade foot sutra of rouge lips has fallen into your hands, and you probably have nowhere to escape." ”

"The slave deserves death, I only ask the eldest young master to Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· before the slave and maid die" Changqing's words were not finished, Dongfang Yixian's finger pointed on her cherry red lips and said, "It's too easy to die, don't think about such a simple thing." I still have things to deal with, you think about it, from the time you were a child, the environment of your home, the people around you, and the bizarre things that happened to you, don't leave anything behind, think carefully, I want to listen to you at night. After Dongfang Yixian finished speaking, he put on the wind and closed the door and went out.

Changqing couldn't figure it out, she had been in Washington for five years, she was cautious everywhere, the black shadow was haunting, and everything was nowhere to be found. How did Dongfang Yixian discover it? Dongfang Yixian's martial arts are not unusual, far inferior to Dongfang Yichen. He was gentle and generous, took care of her like a big brother, never reprimanded her, and was busy with business outside every day, rarely at home. She thought that even if the black shadow occasionally had a clue that disappeared, no one in this house would be able to find it? It was too fast, so fast that people were dazzled by suspicion.

Only today, Changqing felt that Dongfang Yixian's gentle eyes were unfathomable, and his every word was like a sharp arrow shining coldly, making her tremble.

Dongfang Yat-sen reminded her of her childhood home, the eerie box house, she and her sister lay in the dark box, listening to her mother sing, the song was as ugly as being struck by lightning, and she was so frightened that she and her sister hugged each other tightly.

Once, they were bold enough to quietly push open the lid of the box house, revealing a thin slit, and saw that the father was carrying a slender knife with a blue halo like ice, cutting his mother's throat, and blood came out of his neck like a fountain, and he pressed the blade against his throat, and the song sounded again, accompanied by the violent convulsions of the mother's body, until the song and the body were still, the father sewed up the mother's throat, and from then on, they knew why the mother always wore a red gauze around her neck, and did not take it off even when she took a bath。

They were especially afraid of their father, and they would be afraid of being cut by him in their dreams, and from childhood to adulthood, every full moon night, they would always hear their mother's singing, until their younger brother had an accident, and their father was furious and sold them to Jingomen.

Changqing's fingertips were cold, thinking of the legend that Dongfang Yixian had told her about the separation of the rouge lips and the demon doctor, she woke up suddenly, and said secretly, could it be that her parents have something to do with the magic doctor hall? Otherwise, who can afford to cut her throat every month? She is not like singing, but more like a blood sacrifice.

Changqing couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the rouge lips that were so **** that there was only one mouth left. The eldest young master said, "It's too easy to die, what does it mean?" What is the relationship between my father and Jin Gemen? Since the sect leader sent me to Dongfang Huafu to go undercover, why did he order me again

Cultivating the Jade Foot Sutra Do you want me to become the second in the rouge lips? This terrifying thought made Changqing suddenly collapse to the ground in fright.

She struggled to get up from the ground, thinking that her identity was revealed, she would be reprimanded and die according to the rules in Dongfang Huafu, she would be sentenced to death by Gu punishment in Jingemen, and she might be broken into pieces by her devilish father when she returned home. Instead of all kinds of miserable deaths, why not choose a decent and not too painful way to die and end this tragic life.

Changqing wiped away her tears, after she thought about her situation clearly, all thoughts were lost, and the reluctant tenderness for Dongfang Yixian in her heart was like the last candle swaying in the wind, which was ruthlessly extinguished by reality. She returned to her room in despair, freshened up, took the purple jade foot and jade foot sutra in her arms, and said softly: "You can sink the corpse with me and listen to the deep lake under the wind spring." Then he died without any attachment.

After Xue Fei and Wanyu finished cleaning Yichen's room, they went to find Ruoxi, and saw that Ruoxi was not frowning because of the complicated work, she and Wu You were happy like birds, and they were holding the cleaning handle as a stick, learning Liang Zhenfei's stick practice.

"Brother Ruo, we'll come over after we finish our work, let's see if you still need help. Xue Fei and Wanyu walked over with a smile, took Ruoxi's hand, looked at Wu You, and said with a smile: "No, as soon as Sister Wu comes, you will forget about the two of us." ”

"You two came just in time, tomorrow there will be fox jerky to eat, the second young master promised me. Ruoxi happily held the hands of the two, sat under the big locust tree, and said, "I made an appointment with Wu You to sneak out at night, go find some wood, borrow some tools, and start making seats for the old, weak, sick and disabled." ”

"It's really good, let's help too?" Xue Fei and Wanyu said excitedly: "As long as Chunxi doesn't say anything, we come out to work, and there is nothing to do." ”

"No, you have worked so hard all day, and you still have to practice?" Ruoxi said: "You hurry up and practice the water basin service well, so as not to be punished by the young masters, it is only right." ”

"Do we want to stay with Brother Ruo for a while?" Wanyu and Xue Fei said coquettishly as they shook Ruoxi's shoulders.

Wu You took a deep breath, took the broom to sweep the floor, looked at Wanyu and Xue Fei and said, "Hey, hey, don't forget, he is your cousin?

"Isn't that a kiss and a kiss?" Xue Fei deliberately drilled into Ruoxi's arms, looked at the fog you, and said, "You can work quickly, let's get close to Brother Ruo for a while, talk and leave." ”

Wanyu attached to Ruoxi's ear and said: "Ruoxi, you have to plan for yourself, don't be stubborn and stay here, my mother came to see me the day before yesterday and said, Aunt Xintong wants to take you back, the herbs at home are all used up, and you can't turn around without you." You have to find a way to stay with the young masters and let your aunt break her thoughts. ”

"Huh?" Ruoxi exclaimed, his face fused, and he said in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I rejected the second young master again." ”

When you heard Ruoxi's exclamation, you hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Brother Ruo, is there anything going on at home?"

"How long are your ears?" "Xue Fei stood up and said, "It's okay, sweep the floor quickly, don't be surprised." ”

At this time, I heard a commotion in the courtyard of the house, like a fried pot, and someone exclaimed: "Oh no, the evergreen girl has thrown herself into the lake." ”

Everyone put down their work and rushed to the courtyard. Wu You also put down the broom in your hand and ran out, Wanyu and Xue Fei were shocked, they have a very good relationship with Changqing, they are already like sisters, Xue Fei held Ruoxi's hand, tears flowed in her eyes, and said, "Sister Ruoxi, you must save Master Changqing." She's the best person in the house for us. ”

Ruoxi said: "Don't panic, if you have the opportunity, I will, let's go and see first." ”

Wanyu, Xue Fei, Wu You, and Ruoxi could only watch from a distance as Changqing's body was wrapped in a straw mat and placed on a bench, and there were many people around the courtyard.

The two young masters were not at home, the master also went out, Mrs. went back to her parents' house, only Mrs. Ruyan was in charge of the house in this house, she glanced at Changqing, distressed tears flowed, Lu Yuan and Lu Qi helped Mrs. Ruyan, and they were already crying.

"This stupid boy, what happened to him, if you can't think about it like this, what a good year, what a beautiful person, how can you bear to leave?" Mrs. Ruyan cried: "Let's put it in the morgue of the admonition room first, and wait for the eldest young master to come back and take a look before being buried." ”
