15. [Picking] Thirteen years

The wind was fierce, the waves were rolling, and the sound of the water and wind surrounded the small boats. The glass lamp propped up on the copper frame flickered, and shattered in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers. The waves continued to crash up, and the cabin was tightly closed, and not a drop of water leaked for the time being, but no matter how tight the bulkhead was, it could not stop the cold that seeped in.

The river water in the spring night was bitterly cold, Qin Slow's teeth trembled up and down, she was not like Yongque who could use internal strength to protect her body, and the whole person was not much better than soaking in ice water.

Yongque said that they went to the Nai He Bridge, and she was now in hell.

The shouts, footsteps, and gushing water of the murky outside the murmur became farther and farther away from her ears, and her vision became blurred, as if white snowflakes were falling, but when they fell on the ground, they turned into sparks and gradually spread into a vast sea of fire......

After a while, my hearing regained my senses, and a sentence floated in my ears very far away: "I'm not a medical hall here, nor a righteous village, what are I doing with a dead man?" ”

As soon as I heard it, she was an eccentric person similar to Ren Zhongping, and the dead person in her mouth was not her?

The wind got into her throat and she choked and coughed several times, and after a deep breath, she opened her eyes. The thin light above the head is faint, and sometimes one or two green and shining light spots float up, like a ghost fire in the forest.

"Tricked corpses?" Fang Cai's voice was surprised, but he was not much surprised, and said very indifferently, "God doesn't have long eyes, and wicked people live for a thousand years." The person who said this obviously regarded Qin Slow as a member of Yongque's disaster to the country and the people.

Qin lay down slowly for a while, gathered some strength, and slowly stood up and sat up.

The surroundings were dim, and the sound of water flowing in the depths came, and sometimes one or two ghosts quickly jumped into the darkness, and I didn't know whether it was a person or a ghost. Following that thin glimmer of light, his eyes blinked vigorously, and Qin was immediately frightened.

The strange shape of the light was strange, and it turned out to be leaking from a pair of round eye holes in the skull hanging high. The skeleton looked at Qin Slow expressionlessly, she shrank her hands and feet in fear and wanted to step back, but she was immediately stopped by the original voice.

"Little girl, be careful. Taking a step back is the sword forest blood pool, and at the bottom of the pool are countless remnant swords left by the knights of the rivers and lakes who strayed into this place, and these remnant swords penetrate their hands, feet, heads and lungs, and the blood flows out of countless holes, year after year, if you drop one more, maybe this pool should be full. ”

Qin slowly exclaimed slightly, and sure enough, he didn't dare to move back, and the man sneered: "You'd better not move forward, there is a swamp in front of you, and the strange fish raised in the swamp like the flesh and blood of young girls the most." They burrow through your ears, eyes, and mouth, and devour every inch of your meridians from the inside out. Do you see those glittering ghost fires? They floated out of the bones of the maidens, how beautiful they were, just like their bright eyes when they were alive. ”

He laughed like an arrogant and smug ghost, mocking ignorant mortals.

"Scare a girl, when did you fall to such a point?"

When everything was treacherous, Qin Slow finally heard a familiar voice, which was Yongque who was "in distress" in the water with her.

The other party laughed, and the broken voice echoed in the empty darkness, terrifying: "What's wrong with you?" A eunuch will also feel sorry for a woman? It's ridiculous! ”

The atmosphere changed suddenly, Qin Kuan only heard the sound of his clothes passing by, and the sound of footsteps sounded on the ground......

Someone is making a move, and before two moves, one of them has fallen behind, the man snorted as if he took two steps back, and laughed: "The master of ceremonies and the admiral of the past dynasties of the capital has a secret heart method, and the old man today can be regarded as a teacher!" It is worthy of the martial arts that eunuchs specialize in, and it is so tricky and ruthless! ”

This man is so arrogant! is obviously invincible to Yongque, but a mouth is extraordinarily unforgiving.

Qin Chuan thought that according to Yongque's arrogant and self-contained character, he would be killed on the spot, but after waiting for a while, he didn't make the slightest move, only to hear him say lightly: "You don't have to deliberately provoke me to seek death, I came today to ask you for advice?" ”

The man's tone finally changed: "What is the difference between being alive and dead now?!" Thanks to your good master, if it weren't for him, how could I have fallen into this situation, hiding at the bottom of the lake and stealing my life! ”

Qin Slow, whose eyes began to adjust to the darkness, followed their voices, and dozens of steps away, there were two figures standing in shadows. There is no doubt that the long-bodied jade person is Yongque, and the old man with his back opposite him should be the old man in Yongque's mouth.

The old ferry people, Nai He Bridge, with the eerie and terrifying surroundings, are very appropriate.

Recalling their conversation, after observing the surroundings, Qin slowly raised her head unconsciously, and with a little light, she squinted and stared for a while, and finally saw that there was a slow-flowing dark water above their heads!

Are they really at the bottom of the lake?

It's a bit of a hell of a Senro.

Facing the old man's indignant questioning, Yongque hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was a faint disapproval in his laughter: "You said it yourself, it was my master who caused you to come here, not me." Besides, if I deal with him personally, I can be regarded as avenging you in disguise, and you should be grateful to me. ”

The old man seemed to be stunned for a moment by the understatement in his words, and immediately he gritted his teeth and said: "Even the relatives and teachers are killed, Dongchang is worthy of being a place to raise livestock!" ”

Yongque smiled: "If he doesn't die, I will die, what's wrong with killing him?" ”

There was silence all around, and the old man came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and muttered, "Yes, you are right." People want to live, so what can't they do in order to live? After a long silence, the old man said dejectedly, "Ask whatever you want, I only beg you not to reveal my whereabouts to any other third person." ”

"Wait a minute...... Qin slowly raised his hand and interjected, "Can I go a little farther?" ”

Although she didn't know what Yongque had to do with this old man, at least she knew that the next words would not be much luckier than the girls in the swamp.

The person who responded to her was Yongque, and asked her softly, "Is it too late to leave now?" ”

The implication is that she has come where she shouldn't be, and she knows some things she shouldn't know, and sooner or later she will be killed.

Qin was stunned for a long time: "Woo......"

The old man didn't care about the funeral examination, and a conversation with Yongque seemed to consume all his energy: "You ask." ”

Yongque pondered for a moment and said, "Last month, an official died in the household department. ”

"The world is born to die." The old man said coldly.

Yongque laughed: "Death is not a strange thing, a strange thing is the surname of that five-grade petty official." ”

The voices of the two of them came into Qin Wan's ears without any obstacles, she was first sad for being extinguished, and after hearing the old man's sentence "The world is born to wait for death", she was relieved, so she broke the jar and got up, found a slightly dry stone, climbed up and sat down to listen to the conversation between the two.

This little action did not escape Yongque's eyes, he pursed the corners of his lips, should he praise her for being generous or big-hearted?

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said contemptuously: "What does the surname single surname have to do with me?" ”

"At first glance, it seems irrelevant, but I vaguely remember that there was a powerful person next to Master more than ten years ago, and his surname was Ji Mingzheng. And Ji was once the royal surname of the Beidi clan outside the Saiwai, and your mother is the descendant of the surname Beidi Ji. “

The old man was secretly frightened, this young man was not below his master in terms of ruthlessness or martial arts level, and he had a good calculation far above him! After so many years, the people at that time should have been scattered cleanly, not to mention that there were still people who deliberately erased the traces, but he grabbed a small corner and touched him along the vine! With this meticulousness alone, the old man marveled and regretted that such a person, whether in the temple or in the rivers and lakes, should be a towering and glorious character!

It's a pity that the creation made people, and he entered the pickled nest of the East Factory, and he had empty talents and strategies, but he was useless on the right path of helping the country, and became the minions of those in power to eliminate dissidents and suppress the officials and the people.

"Ji Zheng was nowhere to be found, but his descendants or relatives were still officials in the court. It's just that after many years, someone found them and killed them for something or something. Forgive me for my own speculation, the reason for the destruction is very related to the reason for Ji Zheng's disappearance back then. Yongque came together in an orderly manner, "Ji Zheng was the commander of the Jinyi Guard back then, and the emperor at that time had a good eye, and the things related to him were indispensable to the royal family. More than ten years ago, I only entered the palace for a few years, and it was 108,000 miles away from the East Factory, so I specially wanted to ask you, what happened at that time? ”

The old man was silent and silent.

After a day and a night of tossing, the exhausted Qin Slow was already drowsy, and when he was about to fall down with his cheeks in his hands, the old man finally spoke: "It's a mistake for you to ask me, because I don't know what the inside story is." ”

"The prince doesn't want to say it?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really don't know anything about thirteen years." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a useless hostage abandoned by my mother country in a foreign land, not to mention your master, even any eunuch in charge of the palace can give me a look, let alone contact the core secrets of the royal family." ”

"Thirteen years ago?" Yongque asked rhetorically.

Qin Slow was also in a slight spirit.

"Thirteen years......"

The old man's wistful sigh was wrapped in countless inexplicable feelings, and he was in a daze at the bottom of this lake that did not see the light of day, but as if he had been cursed, some people and things thirteen years ago were more and more clearly visible day by day.

Pain and regret tortured him all the time, and later he even expected someone to find him here, and he ended up surviving in the world, he thought about many people but didn't expect that the person waiting for him was Yongque. Only then did he know that the vivid characters that remained in his memory had been scattered in time, and only he was left behind, and he was the only one who survived.

Thinking of this, his body trembled violently, not because of fear, but because of remorse.

The old man's short body was even more stiff, and his curled right hand grabbed the placket of his chest, and he gasped heavily, waving his hand indiscriminately and roaring: "Let's go!" Let's go! I've forgotten all about thirteen years ago! Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you eunuchs!! ”

Qin's eyelids, which were about to droop, suddenly opened: "Be careful!" ”

She was shocked to remind Yongque Shi to notice that the old man was strange, so she had to take precautions, but she saw Qin slowly jumping down from the stone, trotting over, grabbing the old man's left arm, and pressing his thumb violently about three inches up his wrist.

The old man twitched violently, the color of the pig's liver on his face gradually faded, and his stiff back softened a lot.

It turned out that what she said was not for him, Yongque felt too vigilant, smiled self-deprecatingly, and his eyes fell lightly to Qin Slow: "Do you know how to heal?" ”

Qin Yan, who struggled to put the old man flat on the ground, shook his head honestly: "No." ”

Yongque narrowed his eyes: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Qin slowly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said slowly: "Dead horses should be live horse doctors......

Yongque laughed again, the chill was biting, obviously not believing.

Qin slowly tugged at the corners of his clothes, lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, snorted and muttered: "My mother was not in good health when she was alive, and every asthma attack doctor used this method to heal him." ”

Ren Zhongping is the medical saint whose whereabouts are unknown......

Yongque was skeptical of her words, or he didn't believe them at all. The hour is not early, once the high tide floods the entrance of the cave, he can only wait for a dozen more hours to return to the ground, Yongque has no time to spend here: "How is he now?" ”

"Not so good." Qin slowly hesitated, and explained again to him with great seriousness, "I'm not Lang Zhong, so I can't talk nonsense...... It's going to die. ”

Her grinding appearance is really worrying!

"Whether you say it or not, he will die too." Yongque was rarely a little annoyed, and as soon as his anger came up, he saw Qin Slow's neck shrinking and squatting on the ground with his head like a turtle, looking at him timidly with big eyes. I saw that his anger was in his throat, and there was nowhere to vent.

When the atmosphere solidified and held each other, there was a whistle sound of three long and two short whistles on the distant lake, which was the exclusive message of the East Factory. Yongque pinched his fingers and calculated, and in another moment, the rising tide in the east should also rise, and he immediately made a decision to smash his fingers on the old man's acupoint quickly and fiercely:

"What happened thirteen years ago?"

The old man let out a muddy moan/groan, opened his eyes half-open and half-closed, and his void gaze crossed Yongque and fell on Qin Wan, he raised his bone-like hand and grabbed her forearm: "Chang ......"

Qin Slow seemed to be frightened, reflexively opened the hand that grabbed him, and the palm that slid sideways gently swept under the old man's ribs, and the old man trembled again and fell into a coma again.

"I fainted again...... It's pitiful......" Qin slowly looked around at the ghostly surroundings, trying to drag him to a warm and dry place. After looking at her, she saw Yongque looking at her with a light face, her eyes precipitating into an endless darkness in the dim light, and her eyes met, but in an instant, there seemed to be all kinds of dark tides rising and flattening.

In just a moment, the whistle sounded again, and it was even shorter and more urgent.

Yongque first looked away, did not speak or ask any further, he strode away in the direction of the whistle. fluttering the sleeves of his robe, walking in the hell of the world like a fairy and a ghost, causing Qin Slow, who was stunned, to follow involuntarily. After taking two steps, she turned around, glanced at the old man on the ground and then took a deep look at the underwater cave, and trotted towards Yongque without looking back: "Overseer! Wait for me!! ”

┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉

When he returned to the ship, Yongque stood on the broadside with his hands in his hands, his face was indistinguishable from joy and anger: "Such an ancient way to save people, I thought you were going to leave a good person to do it to the end." ”

His feet were light and strange, Qin Slow was afraid that he would be chased down, so he patted his chest and took a few mouthfuls of the refreshing breeze on the lake before whispering: "I don't want to stay in that ghost place, I'm scared to death......"

"Oh? Would you be afraid? The tide slapped at the feet of the two, Yongque looked back at her, and there was something in the words, "I thought that the Qin woman was chivalrous and courageous, and she was afraid of everything!" ”

I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I suddenly woke up and fainted so coincidentally? Daring to do something under his nose, Yongque looked at Qin Slow who was trembling in the cold wind expressionlessly, and slowly shook the hand behind his back.

Qin slowly seemed to be aware of it, raised his head keenly, bit his lip and said, "Overseer...... You're not really trying to kill me, are you? ”

She asked straightforwardly, and Yongque asked even more unabashedly: "What's the matter, can't you?" ”

The rowing fans almost lost their oars, life and death, how could these two people play like a bargain? What's even more strange is that their factory duke still patiently dealt with her, as if Fang Cai's killing intent was just an illusion of their moment.

Facing the blue lake water under the faint morning light, Qin Slow was miserable: "Overseer, I don't want to die......"

He has already seen her obedient appearance, and he is used to being gentle and kind, but who doesn't know that the thing beating in his heart has been trained as a rock in the past ten years since he entered the palace, and if he cuts it out, it must be so black that it can flow poisonous juice!

He has never been a good person, nor does he disdain to be a good person, when he is in a good mood, the world is peaceful, and when he is in a bad mood, he avoids ghosts, and at this moment Yongque's mood is very bad.

He was extremely indifferent: "I think you want to die very much." ”

Rao is Qin is slow son, she can see that Yongque is not in a good mood, and she sighed in her heart. How can a man be as moody as a girl's family? It's not easy to live, she doesn't want to give this life to the cold water of Taiping Lake so early, she decided to curry favor with Yongque: "Overseer, as the saying goes, sadness makes people old, anger burns the liver, and heaven and man decay." You are such a flower and jade, begonia spring/color, how worthless it is to be angry with the villain! ”

She imitated her junior brother Song Weiwen's mouth full of sweet words and talked nonsense, and the more she talked, the more she felt that she was actually very reasonable!

Yongque's face changed rapidly, and when he heard Hua Rongyu's appearance, he couldn't wait to strangle her immediately! So stop that babbling mouth!

She really thinks that she is like the eunuchs who love to smear powder in other people's mouths, and treats a face as a baby?!

Still beautiful? Also begonia spring / color? He was so angry that his heart and liver hurt, what man likes to hear such a description?!
