Chapter Twenty-Four: Recovered Memories
That's what she said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Later, when Zhan Duxiao and Yuan Han sat opposite each other, they relayed the dialogue between Zhan and Chan'er to Yuan Han.
"It sounds like she knows about the Yuan family, and she is afraid that you will break your promise and affect the Demon Palace. Yuan Han frowned and said.
"She didn't know what was going on. Zhan Duxiao first said the key points to comfort Yuan Han, and then said, "There are many people in the palace, and it is not necessarily that someone unintentionally confided a few words and was heard by her. She estimated the consequences of the incident and deliberately distanced herself for my sake. However, she still doesn't know about the part about the accidental killing of Yuan Jiutian. ”
"I am bent on hiding everything from Chan'er, but how long can I hide it? Yuan Han sighed.
"In order to protect Chan'er, at this level, I agree with the opinion of the block, otherwise he has been reserved for me for so long, I don't blame him at all. Chan'er now is really different from before, she has forgotten a lot, so it is easier to be happy. ”
But she wasn't so happy anymore. She loses her memory, forgetting what she knew and what happened, but she is inevitably exposed to rumors that others have heard from this or that angle. She can't be ignorant, she can't feel it personally, she doesn't know anything about anything, so she is anxious, and she can't be alert and self-protective. ”
"I promised not to instill memories into Chan'er, and we were worried that she wouldn't accept it. ”
"I don't want to impose the past on her, don't I feel sorry for her and worry about her? I just want her to be with her beloved, and the premise of this matter can only be that she herself remembers that Du Chan and Yue'er were originally alone. ”
"You're trying to help her get her memories back?
"According to Master Yishen, there is this possibility. "It's just...... I'm afraid it's a little risky.
"Did Master Yishen say that there is any way to do it?"
Yuan Han didn't answer for a while, but after thinking about it and weighing it, he made up his mind, and then called out in a loud voice:
"Huang Feng. ”
"Lord Wang, what are your orders?" Huang Feng heard Yuan Han's voice and pushed the door in.
"Something...... I need you to do it. ”
~~~
The next morning, Chan'er woke up very early, she didn't wake up Xi Tao, Xiao Rao and Pei Qi, who were still asleep, just freshened up alone, put on a newly made sand-blue dress, pushed open the door and walked up the back mountain alone. Five feet away from the cliff, Chan'er stopped and sat on the ground with her knees hugged.
Is this what happened here? What kind of danger is it, people have to fight for their lives. What kind of relationship can be unmarried and earth-shattering.
Just when Chan'er was deep in thought, a masked man had already quietly approached her, and when the man's hand was only a few inches away from her, Chan'er finally noticed it and avoided it at the last moment.
The next moment, the masked man's attack struck again, and Chan'er spun around and stood up on the spot and dodged again.
"Who?" Chan'er asked as she looked at the masked man.
The masked man didn't make a sound, but just used action instead of answering, and attacked Chan'er.
Chan'er carefully dealt with the masked man, while looking around, trying to find a flaw to leave the masked man behind, but the masked man seemed to be quite familiar with Chan'er's light skills, and for a while he suppressed her steps, leaving her little room to breathe.
After a long time, Chan'er gradually became difficult to parry, and the masked man took the opportunity to shorten the distance between him and Chan'er, making the two of them become melee combat. At this time, the masked man's feet moved rapidly, and the person suddenly circled around Chan'er's back, and at the same time a silver dagger (separator) appeared in his hand, and he was about to stab Chan'er when he was slanting downward.
At this time, almost subconsciously, Chan'er moved a few strange steps at her feet, retreated behind the masked man, and when the masked man had no time to react, she quickly grabbed the head of the dagger (separator) with the slowed momentum in her hand, and handed it to her left hand to take it.
The masked man then turned around, only to see Chan'er's right hand dangling falsely, and the dagger (separator) in her left hand suddenly turned back to the masked man's chest.
This trick seems familiar, it is Chan'er's move to kill Yuan Jiutian by mistake for self-protection four years ago, and it is also one of the assassination techniques commonly used by Chan'er's grandfather, the first Xuan master of Yinchen Xuan, Du Xiang.
However, at the moment when the same scene was about to play out, the situation suddenly changed.
On the one hand, the masked man has avoided the vital parts with the help of excellent light skills, and the index finger and middle finger of his right hand are together, and he is in danger of winning and pointing directly at Chan'er's acupoint. On the other hand, at the moment when the head of the dagger (separator) was about to stab the masked man, Chan'er's mind suddenly flashed many images, and the image of one of them being stabbed in the heart prompted Chan'er's movements to stop abruptly. And this abrupt pause caused the qi in Chan'er's body to go in the opposite direction sharply, and at the same time, the meridians shook, Chan'er suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, and fainted.
~~~
At noon, when Chan'er woke up, Zhan Duxiao was leaning on the side of the bed and quietly guarding her.
"How do you feel when you wake up?" Zhan Duxiao asked as she saw Chan'er wake up, the worry in her eyes subsided a little, and her expression was still nervous.
Chan'er looked at Zhan Duxiao, unable to speak for a while, and then said softly after a while:
"It seems to have hurt the meridians, and I am a little weak. I've been getting hurt a lot lately, and it's always worrying you. ”
"It's me who is not good...... Zhan Duxiao wanted to speak and stopped, but the words stopped again.
"Brother Zhan, I'm fine, I don't need internal strength these days, my body is fine, I can still run and jump. Chan'er said, gesturing to get up.
Zhan Duxiao hurriedly held Chan'er's shoulders and helped her find a comfortable angle to sit at the head of the bed.
Chan'er showed a shallow smile to Zhan Duxiao, and then opened her mouth instead of asking about the danger in the morning as Zhan Duxiao thought, but said:
"I'm a little hungry. ”
"Hungry?" Zhan Duxiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "The kitchen has prepared porridge, can you heat it again?"
"Hmm. Chan'er nodded.
"It'll be fine soon, wait for me in a moment. After Zhan Duxiao finished speaking, he got up and left.
Looking at the back of Zhan Duxiao, Chan'er's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she was filled with tears. After the figure disappeared, she still stared in the direction of the door for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, so she slowed down and got out of bed.
Chan'er walked out of the room slowly, walked to another wing room in the garden, gently pushed open the door, calmed down her mood, and then turned her eyes to the inner room.
Time flies, but what remains unchanged is that the "Winding Beam" guqin is still lying on the table as it was four years ago.
At this time, Chan'er's eyes were full of memories, she involuntarily approached the table, sat down in front of the guqin, and then raised her hand to stroke the qin, and a song of Xiaoxiang water and clouds echoed in the garden.
As the music came to an end and the sound faded, Zhan Duxiao appeared in Chan'er's field of vision with an expression of disbelief. He stared at Chan'er, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, and said in a tentative tone:
"You know this piano?"
"The name of this piano is 'Winding Liang', which is a gift from Hua Yuan to the King of Chuzhuang. The biggest feature of the piano sound is that the music is still not dispersed, and the aftersound is lingering, which is unforgettable. Chan'er replied.
"What else?" Zhan Duxiao continued, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
"Also, you said...... I can come over whenever I want to play the piano, and it doesn't matter if you're not there, I can just play it myself. Chan'er looked directly at Zhan Dusk and said clearly.
Zhan Duxiao heard that Chan'er said that it was what he had said to "Blocking Chan", and immediately confirmed his guess, so it was difficult to hide his surprise, his voice trembled slightly, and blurted out the name that he had called thousands of times in his heart:
“…… Chan'er. ”
"Hmm. Chan'er replied.
At this moment, Zhan Duxiao's eyes were red, all his words were choked in his heart, and he only had one arrow to rush to Chan'er's body and forcefully take Chan'er into his arms.
Chan'er felt the deep affection of Zhan Duxiao, and her admiration for him in the past and her admiration for him now converged in an instant, her nose was sore, and tears fell down one after another.
Zhan Duxiao seemed to be aware of it, let go of her embrace, met Chan'er's eyes, and kissed Chan'er lightly on her forehead, tears wet her eyes, and her heart was already filled with softness.
After reaping the joy of "reunion", Zhan Duxiao accompanied Chan'er to drink a bowl of porridge, and when the two looked at each other again, they were already smiling.
"Today's incident is all due to Huang Feng. Chan'er looked at Zhan Duxiao and said.
"You recognize him. Zhan Duxiao smiled apologetically and said, "We made a dangerous move and hid it from you." ”
"It's definitely not you who came up with this idea, it's the Third Emperor Uncle, right?"
"Hmm. He chose Huang Feng out of consideration for your safety, so that he could stop at a critical moment. But you suddenly withdrew your internal force, but we didn't expect it, is it because you have already recognized Huang Feng?"
"The moment I stopped my hand, I saw Huang Feng's movements, and I knew it was him. Except for light skills and acupoint kung fu, I don't know much about his skills, not to mention that he deliberately hides it. ”
"Then why are you ......?"
“…… That scene from four years ago suddenly flashed into my mind. Chan'er paused, and then said, "Whether it's a good person or a bad person, I don't want to hurt other people's lives anymore." ”
"Silly girl. Zhan Duxiao looked at Chan'er distressedly, "It's not good to hurt people, but when you threaten your own safety, you can only try not to hurt people's lives." With me by your side, it's always easier to keep your own people safe without being a killer when two people are facing each other. ”
"Thank you for understanding me and letting my paranoia be. ”
"Don't hurt people and hurt others, this is common sense, but now too many people regard other people's lives as grass, and your unbearability has become the so-called paranoia. I don't care if other people understand it, as long as you believe it, I will stick with you. ”
Chan'er was moved by Zhan Duxiao's firm eyes and unhesitating words, and her feelings for him suddenly became a little stronger, because of this change, Chan'er unconsciously changed her name for Zhan Duxiao:
"Twilight, if there is one person in this world who was born for me, it must be you. ”
"That's what I'm trying to say. It's my luckiest thing to have your favor. ”
"I want to ...... Pay tribute to Yuan Jiutian's predecessors. ”
"I'm going to get people ready. ”
~~~
In the afternoon, Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er went to the cliffside of the mountain behind the Demon Palace to pray for Yuan Jiutian's sacrifice. The two of them respectively offered three pillars of incense in the incense burner, put the snacks, fruits, and drinks in turn, prayed and silently recited the mantra of the Jizo King Bodhisattva three times, and poured paper money before breaking the silence.
"I have never understood how with Yuan Jiutian's predecessor's skills, how could he not be able to dodge. Unless he doesn't want to dodge. Zhan Duxiao said.
"Because Senior Yuan saw the hairpin I used for self-defense. Chan'er explained her confusion for Zhan Duxiao.
"What do you mean?" said Zhan Duxiao, taking out the hairpin of the Desert Rose from her arms and looking at Chan'er, "I have carried it with me for the past few years. ”
"This hairpin was left by the concubine, it was nothing special, I just took it with me as a sustenance. But at that time, Senior Yuan looked at it, his eyes were shocked, and there was a look of nostalgia. He said that the pattern of this hairpin was carved by him. ”
"That means that Senior Yuan and Aunt Ling are old friends?"
"I haven't heard of it. Chan'er shook her head and said, "The mother concubine kept the hairpin carved by Yuan senior, and they should have a great friendship, but after Yuan heard that I was the daughter of my mother, he actually said that he was happy to die at my hands, and apologized to me." ”
"Maybe King Mingjun will know the twists and turns. ”
"Well, I'll ask Uncle Helian when we see you again. ”
"It's just that you probably won't meet in the near future, and it will take some time for this question to be resolved. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Once the war breaks out, King Mingjun will naturally have no time to clone, and your identity is inconvenient to enter and exit the opposing country. ”
"Is the current situation ready to be sent?"
"Among the five countries, leaving aside the night country for the time being, the remaining four countries must be involved in the whole body. ”
"If I had been four years ago, I still had the heart to avenge my father and mother, and I faintly expected that Yi Guo would be defeated in the war. Now that I have been born again, I know how heavy it is to take people's lives. The war between the four countries is the largest war in decades, and how many people will be ruined and separated by yin and yang. ”
"I only hope that the fighting will subside as soon as possible, and that the loss of human and financial resources of all countries can be exchanged for a longer period of truce and peace. ”
"Beicheng has been a strategic location since ancient times, and if Yi Guo attacks Hengguo, it is likely to strike here first. ”
"This city has the glorious achievements of King Wenjun, and the hearts of the people have always been neat, and the people will stick to their homes. Besides, my Demon Palace is not something that can be easily shaken. Zhan Duxiao said in a slightly relaxed tone, "For your sake, I must take care of myself, don't worry." ”
Hearing this, Chan'er's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes and nodded.
~~~
At the time, Zhan Duxiao, Chan'er and Yuan Han had dinner as usual, and Yuan Han had just sat down at the table when he saw Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er holding hands and walking towards this side.
"Uncle Sanhuang, Chan'er is back. Chan'er and Yuan Han glanced at each other and said meaningfully.
"Look at your hand, I already know. Yuan Han nodded knowingly and said, "Welcome back." You're all right, and the stone in my heart falls to the ground. ”
"The subordinates offended the county lord and injured the county lord, which is really to blame, and I ask the county lord to forgive me. Huang Feng, who was standing beside Yuan Han, spoke with a look of self-reproach.
"It's none of your business. On the contrary, I would like to thank you very much. Chan'er said, her gaze turned back to Yuan Han, "Uncle Sanhuang, in order to reward Huang Feng, let's have dinner together tonight." ”
Chan'er is right. Huang Feng acted according to orders, not only was he not at fault, but he was meritorious. Let's sit down and eat together. Yuan Han was in a good mood and stretched out his hand to greet Huang Feng.
"The prince and the county lord don't blame, it's already a great reward for their subordinates. It doesn't make sense to sit with your master. ”
"If you don't sit, I'll eat with you standing. Chan'er looked at Huang Feng with a smile in her eyes.
"The county lord tormented his subordinates. Seeing this, Huang Feng had no choice but to stop insisting, "Thank you to the county lord and the prince, please take a seat." ”
After Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er sat down, Huang Feng sat down on the opposite side. Because Chan'er regained her memory, Yuan Han and Zhan Duxiao couldn't help but drink two more glasses, and it was already past time when the banquet was gone.
The evening sky was clear, the sky was dark, and the moon was shining. A bird slid through the air, and Chan'er unconsciously looked up. In the moment when his eyes met the moon, a figure came to his heart.
The song under the moon has not been forgotten, and the promise made has not been forgotten, but how did it annihilate hope and stop waiting, leaving a little sour and melancholy. If you had never lost your memory, never fallen in love with someone else, and just religiously waited for the day when the ten-year period would have come to an end, would everything have been different?
