Chapter 1: Where the Soul Returns
The eighth year of the Book of Heaven, autumn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The weather really cooled down after a frost, the morning bell and dusk drums in the temple were non-stop, and Su Dai counted the days quietly in her heart, two months, and she had been locked up in this dark and damp firewood room for two months.
It seemed to be raining again, dripping from the eaves, the broken windows were blown by the bleak autumn wind, and the surrounding air was filled with the sour smell of mold and decay, like an endless dark abyss, and I don't know when it will be a head. The sour smell wafted into the tip of her nose, and her chest suddenly felt nauseous, and she couldn't help but retch.
A drop of cold rain dripped from the dilapidated beams, hitting the top of Su Dai's head, she raised her face slightly, her lips had already dried up thick dead skin, and the leaking rain happened to drip into her mouth, but she was still very thirsty, she was tied to a heavy wooden post, unable to move.
Beneath him was a pile of rotten moldy straw, and the rain was pouring down the broken roof, and the ground was covered with black water.
She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the dress that had long been colorless, it was a vermilion hundred birds and eight Hunan skirts, and the gold and silver threads outlined a lifelike hundred birds and phoenixes, which was extremely noble. But now it is already in tatters, and it is impossible to see the original color.
It's been two months, she's been locked up here for two months, she doesn't know if there's a change of dynasty outside, and the turmoil hasn't subsided since he died. After that, she was brought here, and her once gorgeous face was burned with one scar after another by the red-hot red iron.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle, she was so ugly and terrifying, he was afraid that he wouldn't like it even more.
I don't know how long later, the door of the firewood room creaked open, and her blank eyes looked out of the door, and the dazzling white light outside pierced her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, there was a beautiful woman standing in front of her, only to see her wearing a dark gold nine-phoenix Chaoyang twelve Hunan skirts, three thousand green silk combed into a dignified high bun, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix crown, and looking at Su Dai with sneering eyes.
I only heard the maid next to the woman shouting: "Bold, why don't you kneel when you see the Queen Mother!" ”
Su Dai chuckled: "Queen Mother? You actually became the queen mother? ”
The woman slowly stroked the Buddhist beads in her hand, and slowly played with them one by one: "Yes, the mourning family is now the most noble woman in the dynasty, the emperor is still young, and he is not sensible, so the mourning family will hang the curtain and listen to the government, and the world is now the mourning family." ”
"A woman with a more vicious mind than a femme fatale actually became the queen mother, and she still listened to the government, which is really a disaster for the world." Su Dai looked at the woman's beaded hair, and her eyebrows were full of a sarcastic smile, "What if you wear the dress of the Queen Mother?" After all, it still can't cover your dirty heart. ”
The woman suddenly laughed, but the tightly twisted Dai eyebrows revealed the anger in her heart, she picked up Su Dai's chin, the slender and cold armor hooked her chin tightly, and the hatred in her eyes was almost like a monstrous wave surging layer by layer, "Begging Yan Su Dai, what are you!" Now you are an ant at the feet of the mourning family, and if the mourning family wants you to die, you will not be able to live! ”
The gold-cut armor sleeve slowly pierced into Su Dai's chin, and blood dripped down her chin one by one, but she smiled brightly, but the sinuous and twisted scars on her face made her smile even more terrifying, "Then you can kill me!" ”
"The mourners won't let you die so easily." The blood stained the woman's gold armor set, she let go of her hand in disgust, took off the armor set and threw it to the maid behind her, suddenly, the woman smiled mysteriously, "The mourning family wants you to live rather than die!" ”
The woman stared at Su Dai's ugly and terrifying face and smiled heartily: "I don't know how many people have been confused by your face!" Even he fell in love with this face, tsk, the first beauty of the grassland, who was once unparalleled in the country, has now become an ugly-looking monster, I really want everyone to see what you look like now. ”
"No matter how ugly I am now, I can't compare to your filthy heart." Su Dai said this, but for some reason, there was a burst of nausea in her chest, like turning over the river and the sea, she finally couldn't hold back, retching non-stop.
"The smell of your here is really disgusting...... the mourning family" The woman was smiling happily when she saw Su Dai retching, but she suddenly seemed to think of something, and scolded her outside, "Where is the accompanying imperial doctor?" ”
Outside the door, a man who was not confused ran in a panic, and he trembled and bowed: "What does the Queen Mother command?" ”
"Hurry up and show the mourning family to see that slut!" The woman's delicate makeup was a little panicked.
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check Su Dai's pulse, but after a while, he got up and replied, his voice trembling: "Back to the Queen Mother...... Niangniang's words, Qi Yan has been pregnant for nearly three months. ”
Like a thunderclap, Su Dai was stunned for a moment, and a trace of softness gradually appeared on her terrifying face like a reptile, and she whispered: "I have his child...... I have his baby......"
"Enough!" The woman's sharp voice snorted, her eyes pulled Su Dai's hair with hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "How could you be pregnant with his child!" This child is the wild seed left behind by your fornication! ”
Her originally beautiful facial features were slightly distorted, and she was hideous, "Do you know what the punishment for fornicating sluts was in ancient times?" ”
Su Dai endured the pain of his hair being scratched, and sneered: "I didn't have fornication, this child is his." ”
The woman was completely enraged, and slapped Su Dai fiercely, and the whole person was like Shura from purgatory: "The Qiyan clan is lonely and unheard, you still don't tell her!" ”
The maid behind the woman slowly stepped forward, with a sinister smile on the corner of her lips, and her voice was very low, like a crow in the dark night: "In ancient times, the punishment for fornicating women was called claustrophobia, what is claustrophobia? Striking a woman on the chest and abdomen with a mallet until something falls and closes her household, she can only defecate and drown, and humanity will be ruined forever.1 The Qiyan clan may not know, what fell? That is, the gestational uterus. ”
Hit the abdomen with a mallet until the pregnancy falls off? Su Dai looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, unconsciously covered his abdomen with both hands, and muttered, "You can't do this to me!" Why did she feel that this scene was familiar, as if she had experienced it all over again?
The woman smiled, her scarlet-painted lips were like a poisonous snake holding her breath: "Why can't the mourning family treat you like this?" Qiyan Sudai, do you know now that you are afraid? It's late! ”
Her last two words were as light as a puff of smoke, low and inaudible, but Su Dai heard it clearly, she retreated again and again, but her arms were grabbed by the eunuch brought by the woman, and the wooden stick in the eunuch's hand was like a sharp sword glowing with cold light, which only made her heart ache.
The hand was up, the stick fell, the ears were muffled with the sound of sticks, the lower abdomen was hit again and again, as if there was a hand in her abdomen to stir to death, she only felt something along her crotch bone a little bit of loss, warm, endure the pain in the abdomen, low eyebrows to look down, the original dirty Hunan skirt was dyed red, like a tree blooming kapok.
I don't know how long it took, but she only felt that something was slowly falling off under her, and the pain of falling apart only made her worse than death.
"Qi Yan, you also have today!" The woman's laughter echoed in her ears for a long time.
With a breath in his heart, Su Dai laughed weakly, and the hatred in his eyes was awe-inspiring: "I...... Play tricks...... I won't let it go......" Before he finished speaking, his last breath choked on his lips.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to probe Su Dai's snort, and said in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Qiyan clan is dead." ”
The woman looked at Su Dai, who was already a dead body, in disgust, and her voice was indifferent: "It's burned, and the mourning family wants her to break her bones and scatter ashes." ”
Su Dai floated in mid-air and looked coldly, not far away the fire was soaring, a pile of firewood was lying on her body, even if she was a ghost, she could still feel the monstrous hatred in her heart, suddenly, a powerful trickle sucked her in, dark, she only felt that she didn't know how long she had been churning in the trickle, and the endless abyss was like a chaotic world.
The endless grasslands have always been the home of nomads, and the gentle breeze blows, and the grass everywhere sways the delicate figures.
A little girl of seven or eight years old ran out of one of the big tents, with a joyful smile on her face, and shouted to the other tents: "The princess is awake!" The princess is awake! ”
Suddenly, people poured into the big tent where the girl was standing.
In the tent, I saw an eight-year-old girl lying on the bed, with a confused look on her face, but she was so beautiful, even though she was only seven years old, she could still see from between her eyebrows that this girl would be able to achieve beauty in the future.
Wuyou grabbed the girl's hand with tears in his eyes and cried: "Amur, you can be considered awake, Eji is about to die of worry." ”
Su Dai saw that there were a lot of people crowded in the tent, but no matter how hard she thought about it, her mind was blank as if she had been stripped of all her memories. The headache is like someone taking a mallet and striking it one by one, wait, mallet? She seemed to have an impression of the mallet somewhere, and it was a terrified impression.
"Eji?" She murmured softly.
Uyu took Sudai in his arms and kept crying: "Amur, I won't ride a horse in the future, I won't ride in the future......"
At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a man in his thirties walked in, he was the Great Khan of the Ujurqin tribe, who was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, tall and strong, and a full beard, but Su Dai saw a thick worry through his eyebrows, and only heard him say: "Amur, you are finally awake!" ”
How can you say that she finally woke up? Has she slept for a long time? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, and the answer to her was Wuyu, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, "Amur, you fell off the horse when you tamed it, don't you remember?" You've slept for three whole months, Amur, and you're not going to ride a horse anymore, okay? ”
Horseback riding? She couldn't help but raise her eyes and asked, "But I'm not afraid of horses!" ”
He laughed: "Good! This is my princess of Ujurqin! ”
Uyu looked at Sudai in a daze, but listened to her continue: "But Eji, I don't seem to remember anything. ”
Exegesis:
1. Claustrophobia: The palace punishment of female prisoners began during the period of Chinese slave society, and the earliest record can be found in the "Shangshu Ming Punishment". This is a little-known "technology"! Wang Zhaoyun, a native of the Ming Dynasty, mentioned the operation of this method in "Jieshi Leftovers": "Hitting a woman's chest and abdomen with a wooden mallet, that is, a thing falls and covers her household (pinhu), which can only defecate, and humanity will never be wasted", which is usually called "claustrophobia".
