Chapter 12: Memories
Minglang looked at Tai Gongzi, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "Where is Cai Gou?" Where did Cai Gou go? ”
Ah Cuo was also stunned, and then turned his head to look, where is the shadow of Cai Wanglai? Thinking about it, just now when Tai Gongzi's mind was in turmoil and the three of them had no time to take care of him, he quietly slipped away.
Over there, Tai Gongzi was completely ignorant of everything, still immersed in the huge inner turmoil, and stood dumbfounded.
Minglang and Ah Cuo looked around and returned disappointed. Thinking that there is another secret way down the mountain here, then Cai Wang has come and gone far.
Ah Cao frowned and said, "Why didn't Xiao Wow keep an eye on him?" ”
Minglang thought of Xiao Wow at this time, but saw that it had been following behind him, with a black cloth in its mouth, which was the same color as the clothes on Cai Wanglai's body, and it must have been torn from him when he was chasing him.
Xiao Wow spit out the black cloth, yelled at Ming Lang aggrievedly, and said in his stomach: "You only care about talking, and you don't even know that the bad guys have run away." Fortunately, my lord I found out, chased after him, how did I know that the bad guy could release arrows, my lord, I was most afraid of flying arrows, and I only had time to tear off a piece of cloth from his buttocks...... It's all your fault!"
Ah Cuo sighed: "If this evil is not eliminated, there will be endless disasters!" ”
Although Minglang also regrets it in his heart, as long as he rescues Ah Cuo, he is already very happy. He looked at Tai Gongzi, who was still standing in place: "He doesn't look right, will something happen?" ”
Ah Cuo bit his lip and said, "You go and help him, and we will go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”
Ming Lang followed his words, and didn't dare to grab his arm, so he pinched his sleeve and said cautiously: "Tai Gongzi, let's go down the mountain!" ”
Unexpectedly, Tai Gongzi actually heard his words. He looked at Ah Cuo, and then at Minglang, sighed, and said, "Okay." Then he flicked his long sleeves, and without looking at the two of them, he took the lead and went to the exit of the cave.
Ah Cuo followed him, walking side by side with Minglang. Xiao Wow swaggered behind.
Minglang said strangely: "He was demented just now, but now he seems to be alive again...... Girl, will you recognize him? ”
Ah Cuo heard his question very meaningful. It can be seen that he already knew in his heart that she was Yanran, but for some reason he refused to recognize Tai Gongzi. It's all human spirits!
And the disguise and disguise had exhausted her, and she no longer had the strength to dwell on the topic. So he changed the subject: "Don't you want to know what happened to me in the past two days?" ”
Minglang was really attracted: "Think, why don't you want to?" How did you spend the past two days? ”
"After I was arrested, Cai Ye wanted to get married immediately. God helps, many of them are suffering from dysentery because they have eaten unclean things, and the second of them is the bearded man who also has diarrhea, and when he heard that I will see a doctor, he discussed with Cai Ye and said that I should treat them first, otherwise I can't even drink the wedding wine with a stomach. Cai Ye thought that I was already in the palm of his hand anyway, and he was not in a hurry for the next few days, so he agreed. I gave them the medicine and they got a lot better after a day of drinking, so their attitude towards me was much better. The next day, I gave them another medicine, and I could only see the effect today, but I didn't know that you would be here so soon. She smiled and said, "The next day, I added something to the medicine that could cure their dysentery, but it would give them a rash, so I wanted to use this method to delay time and slowly find an opportunity to escape." Alas! She seemed sorry that her plan had not been carried out. Minglang is funny and angry: "What are you sighing for?" Don't you want to be rescued so soon - why are they tying you up when they are kind to you? ”
"I'm afraid I'll run away at night, so I'll be tied up when I sleep." As he spoke, he sighed again, "It's a pity that my basket of herbs and crane grass were thrown away by them!" ”
As they spoke, they had already left the cave, and he and Ah Cuo were not walking fast, and Tai Gongzi was also in white clothes, and he had been walking in front of him unhurriedly. Minglang guessed in his heart, maybe he could hear the conversation between him and Ah Cuo, otherwise he was so good at light skills, how could he walk so slowly?
The two continued to walk and talk, and Minglang also told Ah Cuo about his experience in the past two days. After Ah Cuo heard that Tai Gongzi lived in White Tiger Peak, his heart sank again. Four years ago, she fell from the Broken Intestine Cliff of White Tiger Peak, and at the bottom of the Broken Intestine Cliff, she was lucky enough to be saved by the Taoist of the Divine Palace. And calmly, he has been living in seclusion in the White Tiger Peak. Does it have anything to do with her?
She didn't dare to think about it, but she couldn't help but think about it, but she couldn't figure out how to think about it.
Minglang sighed and muttered: "It's really like, as soon as I have something on my mind, I am stupid and don't care about anything." ”
At noon, the three reached the foot of the mountain. He turned and stood facing them. By this time he had returned to normal, but his face was pale and gloomy. Still has cold eyes and a cold tone: "I want to go back to White Tiger Peak first, and the two of you must go with me." ”
He is not consulting with them, but deciding. His look and momentum are no different from those of a king who is proud of the world.
Ah Cuo sighed in his heart. He was originally a king, a future king.
Minglang scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "But Ah Cuo hasn't been home for a few days." ”
Tai Gongzi suddenly turned around and dropped a sentence: "How you invited me, send me back." ”
He put his finger to his lips and let out a long, sharp whistle. After a while, a white horse flashed out of the woods in the distance, which was his lightning horse.
Seeing this, Xiao Wow flicked his tail excitedly, raised his head, and roared "Wow!" ”
It was only a moment before a tall elk ran down the mountain.
A's eyes widened in surprise. Xiao Wow triumphantly circled around the elk, and after declaring the elk's sovereignty to Acuo, he was the first to climb on the elk's back.
So Minglang encountered another problem: should he ride a deer or a horse? If she rides a deer, she won't be able to control it, and she won't recognize the way to White Tiger Peak; If you ride a horse, will he and her have problems again?
Tai Gongzi rode his horse and stood quietly to the west, not looking at them, but as if waiting for them.
After struggling for a while, Minglang finally made a choice: "Girl, you still ride a horse, this deer has no mat and reins, and girls are not easy to control......"
Ah Cuo did not get entangled, nodded obediently, turned around and walked to the white horse, and was about to pull the reins and get on the horse, when suddenly a cold arm was encircled around his waist, Tai Gongzi leaned over and circled her, and she flew on the horse's back and sat in front of him.
He wrapped his hands around his waist, and as soon as he pulled the reins, Lightning Splash spread his hooves. It's fast, and it's smooth.
Minglang and Xiao Wow also galloped with the deer, and came from behind, overtook them, and led the way in front.
As she galloped, she struggled to sit down, and he struggled to keep the reins in place. Both of them were silent.
When he reached the White Tiger Peak after dark, he did not go up the mountain, but ran around the foot of the mountain. Minglang didn't understand what he meant, so he had to follow.
Carrying a torch, through the valley and across the river, he was going to take her on a trip to the Broken Bowel Cliff. Maybe it will make her let go of her fear and find herself again.
He said, "You won't be a stranger to the Broken Intestine Cliff. I'm going to let you find yourself. The voice was cold, but with a deep sadness. Ah Cuo's heart ached dullly again. She seemed to vaguely guess something.
In the middle of the moon, they reached the bottom of the cliff and dismounted from their mounts. The bottom of the cliff is covered with gravel and bushes. By a low pine tree, Tai Gongzi stopped.
Although the pine tree is not tall, it slopes out from the side, and the canopy is shaped like a large open umbrella. On one of the branches, a red band is tied.
Yan Ran recognized that this was the place where she had fallen off a cliff five years earlier. Five years ago, she managed to escape from the traffickers, only to run to the mountains with no choice but to run for her life, hoping that the mountains would be high and the forests were deep enough to escape the pursuit. Who knew that those traffickers were chasing her with hunting dogs. In the dark night, she was cowardly, and ran with all her life, but she only ran to the cliff of broken intestines. Seeing that the pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer, and that she had no way to retreat, she stepped off the cliff full of hatred for the world...... After waking up, I was in the mountains of Baling Shrine.
According to Jingu Michito, she was rescued by a pine tree at the bottom of the cliff, when she happened to fall on a pine branch and unloaded most of the falling force before falling to the ground and passed out. The Taoist of Jingu heard the movement in the mountain and happened to witness her falling off the cliff, so he rescued her.
This past is also something that Ah Cuo does not want to recall. She built a black wall in the depths of her memory, and she sealed all the sad and painful memories in the wall, and then closed the door and locked it, and threw the key into the bottom of her heart. This is her escape and the protection of herself.
And now, he took her back in time, into the wall. The outright desolation knocked Ah Cuo down again. She held the thick pine branch in her hand, and tears flowed quietly.
Tai Gongzi didn't look at him either, and he seemed to be talking to himself at the pine branch, and the light of the torch made his eyes extremely blurry.
"Six years ago, the night before my father ascended the throne, you escaped from the deep palace, and my father found out and became angry with me and locked me up for half a month. I was released half a month later, and then I went out of the palace to find you, I went everywhere you went, but there was always a difference of three or four days with you. I know that you have suffered a lot, you have been hungry, you have been beaten, you have been sick...... Knowing that when you are starving, I refuse to eat anything; Knowing that you were sick, I went to the pharmacy to buy the most bitter lotus seeds and boiled water to drink...... I punished myself in this way, because I failed my mother's deathbed request, and I was unforgivable for you to suffer. Therefore I can only bear the pain you have suffered.
"Those who have beaten you, I have made them lose their hands forever. I remember chopping the hands of five people in total. There is still a legend of the demon who chopped his hands in those places, and that demon is me.
