Chapter 61: The Cuckoo Stained by Blood for Affection (1)
After Li Can left, the two went west by waterway into the river. Li Min was a little seasick at first, but after a few days, he gradually got used to it. Lin Yueyuan became a lot silent, always looking full of worries, unable to sleep at night, she sat alone on the bow of the boat, facing the shining stars and unconsciously calculating Li Can's journey, occasionally silently reciting the poems on the red ribbon, and her heart was filled with a little melancholy ripple.
After entering Shu, Li Min poured for the strange mountains and beautiful waters of Shu, and it coincided with the season from spring to summer, along the way are clear mountains, clean and slippery river water, spring dissolves, gossamer lingers, warblers and birds call lightly across leaves, butterflies wander among flowers.
After going ashore, all the way to the south, the clear green bamboo stretches like the sea, the mist is diffused in the cold jade-like bamboo forest, the path is quiet, and a few crimson peach blossoms that have not yet fallen are dotted in the middle, adding a little brightness.
Lin Yueyuan picked a few bamboo leaves like blowing the cheerful tune of his hometown when he was a teenager, but unfortunately his mood is no longer as innocent and carefree as he was at the beginning, and the tune has a bit of sadness.
She also deliberately took Li Min back to Lin Risheng's secluded "burrow" for one night. The house has been uninhabited for a long time and is somewhat dilapidated. The medicine shelves in the yard are messily collapsed in the yard, the roof has been eroded by the rain for many years, there are cracks everywhere, the cracks in the walls have even grown weeds for life, and the stone steps in the yard are covered with slippery moss.
The tables, chairs and benches in the room were barely usable, but it was a pity that Lin Risheng was full of books, and the pages were full of blue and white mold.
But in the devastated and deserted hut, Lin Yueyuan, who had been displaced for a few months, actually felt the warmth of home, which was about the best days of her green years. A dusty bamboo cup can also make her reminisce for a long time, and she begins to miss the past, which is about a sign of aging.
The two casually cleaned up and squeezed into the same bamboo bed to sleep. She suddenly recalled that she had been in bed with Chen Siyu all night talking, when Lin Risheng and Chu Yunxi were sitting outside the door, there was a thick moonlight in the sky, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the house, her heart was quiet and quiet, and the time was slow and long.
She couldn't help but talk to Li Minnian about her youth, passionate, impulsive, honest and pure, against her father, running away with her brother, and accompanying her friends. At this point, she still has not changed her original intention, she is sincere and pure, and her heart is icy.
The two talked about falling asleep in the middle of the night, and continuing to hurry after dawn.
Leaving home at the age of sixteen, after all these years, after all these years, after joys and sorrows, life and death, now back to the starting point, standing in front of the Lin Mansion, she looked at the Xuanhe Mansion that the Lin family has struggled for several generations, imagining that it will be ruthlessly burned in the near future, and her heart is full of sighs.
She went up and knocked at the door, but the servant who answered the door had already changed into a strange face, and she reported the name of the next person, who seemed not to believe it, and rudely told her to wait outside the door.
The two stood at the door for a while, and Lin Yueyuan was anxious to slam the door again. This time, the subordinates reacted quickly and greeted the two of them into the door with courtesy.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, the knife was on her neck, and more than a dozen courtyards separated the two, Li Min was pulled aside by a big man, and she just wanted to call, but she was stopped.
Lin Yueyuan didn't know what was happening in front of her, she thought that the ambush soldiers of Li Jin's faction had occupied the Lin Mansion, and suddenly a chill arose in her heart.
It wasn't until Su Man walked in front of the two of them with a slightly convex lower abdomen surrounded by the maid that she suddenly woke up to the fact that it was an enemy meeting, and her eyes were red.
I haven't seen Su Man for a few years, but she has been more moist and plump, she is wearing a silk satin, with a full body of jewels, just like the pampered and noble appearance of a noble lady of a family. In contrast, Lin Yueyuan and Li Min ate and drank and slept in the wilderness, covered in wind and dust, covered with wind and frost, haggard and tired, and in tattered clothes, but they were no different from the people who wandered on the street and had no roots, how could they have the temperament of a noble girl.
Su Man couldn't help but show a sneering look when she saw her, as if she was a flower who came to beg for food, she smiled lightly: "Miss, which master in the palace have you offended, how can you make it look like a prisoner who has been assigned?" ”
Lin Yueyuan ignored her taunt and asked coldly, "What about my father?" ”
"The old man is sick and doesn't see the guests." Su Man replied nonchalantly.
"! I don't know when this Lin Mansion changed its name and surname, and I became a guest? Lin Yueyuan looked sideways and said angrily.
Su Man smiled: "Lin Yueyuan, haven't you understood it yet?" Now this Lin Mansion is up to me. ”
"What did you do to my dad?" Lin Yueyuan hurriedly stepped forward, but was forced to retreat by the knife around his neck.
Su Man smiled and said nothing, and sat on the chair brought by the subordinates with the support of the maids, and as soon as he sat down, the subordinates served fruit plates and tea, and the well-trained maids pinched their legs and beat their backs, and Lin Yueyuan, who looked directly, was furious.
"Do you still have the face to ask the master?" Su Man said slowly while enjoying it: "It's not all because you're angry, since he came back from Chang'an, he has been in constant pain." You've been messing around since you were a child, and I guessed that you wouldn't listen to your lord and marry obediently. But the eldest young master was also dizzy, so he didn't do it well, married the granddaughter of a sinner, and actually went to be You Fang Langzhong. She burst out laughing, and the laughter was unbearable.
Lin Yueyuan tightened the whip in her hand, and when she turned her eyes to Li Min, she saw that she was also pointed at the throat with a knife, and had to relax the strength of her hand.
"But let's go first." Su Man spit out a peel, and the maid hurriedly took it with her hand.
Lin Yueyuan frowned, suppressed her anger and listened to her say: "I am pregnant, as long as I give birth to a son, I will be the real master of this Lin Mansion in the future." Chen Pingsheng's children are not filial and disrespectful, and they are not worthy of the surname Lin at all. ”
"You can't help but decide whether you are worthy or not, what about my father, let him come out." Lin Yueyuan bared his teeth angrily and shouted loudly.
Su Man glanced at the courtyard next to her, and two more knives were against her neck, she sneered: "Lin Yueyuan, you are now my meat, I want you to be born, and if you want to die, you will die." What qualifications do you have to bargain with me. Do you want to see the master? Unless you get down on your knees and beg me. ”
Lin Yueyuan was furious, and unloaded the knife in the hand of a courtyard guard on the right with his backhand. Originally, with her swift skills, it was more than enough to hit the three reckless men around her, but she ran around for months, and was poisoned, although the wound was closed, but the residual poison was not cleared, and it often attacked, painful and itchy. She was physically exhausted, and she was tired and panting when she put down a big man.
She was so angry that she was reckless, and in her anger, her eyes were red, she stared at Su Man, and took out a desperate posture, as if she was going to die with her.
She was about to rush forward, Li Min on the right screamed in pain, she turned her head when she heard the sound and saw that Li Min was worried about her safety, struggling desperately, and a blood-red cut had been cut on her neck.
Lin Yueyuan went on a rampage and suffered several knife wounds on his body. Su Man saw her intentions, and shouted loudly to the chaotic nursing home: "Stop him quickly and press that girl to me." ”
Li Min was pressed in front of Su Man by the nursery, she dared not to resist, but just tightly guarded the porcelain bottle in her arms. She would rather have the sharp tip of her knife cut through her flesh than have the glaze of the porcelain vase rubbed off a bit.
Su Man probably felt the pleasure of revenge, regardless of being pregnant for six months, he personally snatched the knife from the nursery's hand, put it against Li Min's neck, his face was hideous, and he shouted at Lin Yueyuan with his teeth and claws: "I know that Miss Lin is the most old-fashioned, you won't see death and not save it, right?" If you resist again, I will cut off this girl's neck first, and even if you escape, this girl will become a powerful ghost and will find you every day to save her. She laughed triumphantly, her vicious intentions on full display.
Li Min showed a devastated expression, trembling all over, like a lone leaf that was about to be wrung off a delicate branch, swaying in the wind. Tears flowed in her eyes, and the brightness in her eyes gradually faded with tears, like a lone star about to fall, destined to live forever and be accompanied by darkness.
The fearless Lin Yueyuan took a step back before Li Min's death, and after she slashed a nurse, she gasped and asked, "Su Man, what do you want?" ”
Su Man's evil plan succeeded, and his treacherous feelings were undoubtedly revealed. She pinched Li Min's shoulder with her sharp nails, seeing that Li Min was in unbearable pain, she was even more complacent, and shouted indulgently: "What am I going to do? Of course I want you to get down on your knees, beg me! ”
Lin Yueyuan took a deep breath, she secretly estimated the situation in her heart, it was not difficult for her to escape with all her might, but it was not easy to save Li Min, but once she resisted, Li Min would inevitably die under the knife first. Su Man poked at her soft underbelly, she suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart and said as respotently as possible: "Okay, I, Lin Yueyuan, have never begged anyone to live so big, although I am a daughter, I compare myself to a man, I have gold under my knees, and I never want to kneel easily, today Mrs. Lin is above, I Lin Yueyuan beg you." Mrs. Lin, please forgive me for being rude and rude. Please spare Amin. She threw down the long knife, flicked the hem of her clothes and knelt on the ground, looking at Su Man awe-inspiringly.
Su Man felt that her authority and self-esteem had been greatly satisfied, and she laughed maniacally, her eyes flashing with a red light of revenge. Li Min on the side didn't know if Lin Yueyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, felt humiliated in her heart, she was moved and shocked, but she felt even more pathetic.
The pain and sorrow, love, hatred, and hatred of this world spread infinitely, and almost no one is spared, whether it is as noble as the royal family or as low as the people. As soon as she escaped from the cage of the struggle for imperial power, she immediately fell into the small cage of family struggle, and there was not an inch of paradise in this world to live in.
She once tried to be like Lin Yueyuan, becoming more and more courageous and tiring in the face of hardships. But how can a broken heart survive in the raging north wind? Her heart was scarred and overwhelmed, and she felt unbearable pain as if she had been hit hard.
Thinking of the tragic death of Concubine Li Tanshu one after another, the uncertain life and death of friends in the palace, the murder of his father, the early death of his mother, and Li Can's close proximity to the end of the world, now he is even more forced by life and death, and his misanthropy is heavier, I only feel that there is nothing to be nostalgic for in this world.
Lin Yueyuan's heart was full of enthusiasm, full of pride, and he didn't feel ashamed, only a frank spirit worthy of heaven and earth.
What Su Man hated the most was her arrogant posture of being superior and unwilling to bend her knees, even if she knelt in front of her, she still couldn't hide her arrogant posture, she always felt that it was Lin Yueyuan's contempt, but she didn't know that it was her innate arrogance.
Su Man seemed to feel that the humiliation was not complete, and he actually summoned a person from the crowd: "You are so sensible, how can you not appreciate it." Lu San, give me a good look at Miss Lin's three slaps. ”
Someone in the crowd responded excitedly, and a slightly chubby little man held his leg and limped out of the crowd. Lin Yueyuan's anger was ignited again, in the face of her angry gaze, Lu San was a little excited, the girl who hurt her broken leg was kneeling in front of him, he almost did not hesitate to swing three slaps hard, and before she could express her emotions, he gave her a heavy blow with lightning speed. The corners of Lin Yueyuan's mouth cracked, and her cheeks were red and swollen.
Lin Yueyuan did not show weakness, spit out the blood in his mouth, wiped the blood with his palm, and said in a somewhat indistinct voice: "Mrs. Lin, I knelt and knelt, and I was beaten, you should let people go." ”
Su Man smiled lightly, her cunning eyes were full of vicious calculations, she pinched Li Min harder, and said inch by inch: "It's easy for you to let me let her go, you use this sword to kill yourself, I will release people when I see blood." ”
Li Min struggled and shook his head, and was grabbed by Su Man's hair, Su Man induced him with good words: "You can think clearly, neither of you can escape, if you are willing to kill yourself, you can still save someone, I know that Miss You have a high heart, naturally you don't want to die at the hands of others, I will leave you a whole corpse today, it can be regarded as for the sake of the master." ”
Lin Yueyuan, who was still calm and comfortable, also sneered: "It's easy for me to die, but after I die, if you let people go, how will I know." If I don't die, and everyone dies at the risk of risking my life, you may not be able to take advantage of much. ”
She is only this girl who is desperate, it is very terrifying, and when the time comes, the blood of the yard will be spilled into a river, which is unlucky. But she was not confused in the end, and said shrewdly: "If I let her go, you will be even more fearless." ”
Lin Yueyuan let out a long laugh and said happily: "You also underestimate me Lin Yueyuan, since I promised you to exchange your life for your life, there is no reason to regret it." ”
Su Man thought carefully for a while, and then gave in: "Okay, I'll put someone at the door, you can see her walk out, you can always go on the road with peace of mind." ”
Lin Yueyuan nodded, Su Man let go, his eyes were horizontal, the courtyard in the courtyard got out of the way, Su Man pushed Li Min and said, "Let's go." ”
Li Min waved her heavy legs, her eyes locked tightly on Lin Yueyuan, she walked towards the courtyard, and as soon as she walked down the steps, she saw the guard throw a dagger in front of Lin Yueyuan, she picked up the dagger and aimed the tip of the knife at her throat.
Li Min suddenly cried, the crying and mourning resounded through the sky, and Lin Yueyuan couldn't help choking up: "Ah Min don't cry, cry when I die, cry louder when the time comes, let me know that you are still alive on the Huangquan Road, so that I can go to the ground with peace of mind." ”
Su Man was irritable when he heard this, and kept urging, Li Min collapsed to the ground, refusing to leave. Annoyed, Su Man ordered the courtyard to throw him out of the courtyard. The nursing courtyard stepped forward rudely and lifted Li Min up, she glanced back at Lin Yueyuan, suddenly screamed bitterly, threw out the porcelain bottle, and hit the blade in the nursing courtyard's hand.
When the rest of the people saw the porcelain altar coming, they thought it was some strange secret weapon, and they all dodged and retreated, Lin Yueyuan jumped and hugged the porcelain altar into his arms. When he turned around, he saw that the blood covered Li Min's upper body like gorgeous red silk, and it was like a patch of mansha beads rolling from hell, and the blood splattered three feet, staining a cluster of snow-white azaleas in the courtyard.
Li Min curled up and fell to the ground, like a broken cocoon, and finally withered before the butterfly.
I have also been full of hope to grow to the sun, but in the end because I can't resist the ugliness of the world and fall into nothingness, I, Brother Tan are destined to walk in the dark, Sister Yueyuan hopes that you can break this dead, spread the light on you, and bring a glimmer of hope to this miserable world.
She licked her parched lips, glanced hatefully at the dark world, and closed her eyes forever.
Gao Cheng encouraged Lan Yuqing, he was still awake when he was asleep, he was still awake when he was drunk, and he suddenly heard Gu Hong's three or two voices.
Life is just like the wind before the wind, the joy is also drifting, the sorrow is also drifting, all of them are a little bit of the river.
