Chapter 246: House Arrest
Before Xin Zi left, he took one last look at the opposite mountain.
I saw a figure who came to Tang Yinbrown's side unexpectedly.
The man was dressed in black, and his black cloak shrouded his entire body, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Seeing him walking towards Tang Yinhong, as if he had entered a no-man's land, none of the people who were lucky enough to survive this battle on the side stepped forward to stop him.
The man in black squatted down, carried Tang Yin's brown body on his shoulder, and turned to look at the opposite peak.
Although he couldn't see the man's gaze, Xin Zi faintly felt that he was looking at him and sighing.
Xin Zi held her eyelids hard and wanted to see more realistically, to see clearly where he was going to take Ah Brown.
Helplessly, the sharp pain in her chest and the untreated wound on her neck devoured her last bit of consciousness.
Before finally closing her eyes, the last image left in her mind was the man in black leaping away from the top of the mountain with Ah Brown, and she vaguely saw the mutton fat jade pendant on the man's waist, which was carved with a green dragon pattern.
It seems to pass in the blink of an eye.
When Xin Zi woke up again, she found that she had not gone to the Netherworld Mansion, but had returned to the place where Tang Yinhong wanted to take her away - the backyard of the Tang Mansion.
The room was filled with the bitter smell of the potion, she turned her head, the wound on her neck pulled, a tingling pain, she frowned slightly, and her mouth unconsciously hissed.
Zhen Yachen, who was originally quietly watching a medical book at random, heard the movement, hurriedly put down the book, lifted the shackles on his hand, approached it, and asked with concern: "Are you awake?"
Xin Zi nodded cautiously, not daring to touch the wounds on her body again.
Zhen Yachen began to check her pulse, probed her complexion, and finally opened her eyelids and looked at it, and finally looked at Xin Zi and said with a smile: "I finally survived, there should be no danger to my life." In the next few days, I will recuperate. ”
Xin Zi was lying there, still a little ignorant, looking at Zhen Yachen and opening his mouth, only to find that his throat was so thirsty that he couldn't say a word, and coughed first.
Zhen Yachen hurriedly got up and picked up the soup bowl on the table next to the bed, and took a spoonful of porridge to Xin Zi's mouth.
Xin Zi barely stood up, but just pushed the porcelain spoon aside, shook his head, and barely whispered, "What about Ah Brown?" ”
Zhen Yachen naturally understood that the Ah Brown in her mouth was the Tang Yinbrown Tang Shaoxia, the man of the hour who attracted the people in Tokyo City to the court and the people on the street after tea and dinner in the past two days.
However, the hero is gone, leaving no resentment.
Zhen Yachen lowered his eyelids, didn't look at Xin Zi's desperate gaze, looked bitterly, and said, "I heard that he and Zhu Huishu, the king of Qi, died together, and there are no bones left." ”
Xin Zi couldn't speak anymore, only shook her head blindly.
Hearing the movement in the room, a middle-aged woman with a somewhat haggard face walked in with the support of the maidservant.
Zhen Yachen got up and saluted and said "Mrs. Tang".
The woman called Mrs. Tang nodded slightly, smiled and raised her hand to let Zhen Yachen exit first, while she sat down beside Xin Zi.
Looking at Xin Zi's pale and emaciated face and a pair of empty eyes, Mrs. Tang shed tears before speaking, reached out and gently stroked Xin Zi's hand resting on the side of the bed, and after a long time, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and slowly asked, "Awake?" If you don't feel comfortable, just tell me. ”
Xin Zi looked at the woman who had been treated by herself before, and only felt that she woke up and sat in front of her so strangely.
Seeing that Xin Zi was silent, Mrs. Tang picked up the porridge bowl again, and said while sending it to Xin Zi's mouth: "It's better to eat something to have the strength to take care of your body, right?" ”
In the face of these weak words, Xin Zi still looked at Mrs. Tang blankly, her eyes were empty, and her gaze seemed to pass through Mrs. Tang and cast directly into the distance.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang took back the porridge bowl, let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "You and I are both hard-working people, overnight, you lost your husband, and I also lost my eldest son." I understand your current mood. Your heart hurts, why shouldn't I? But Yinbrown is no longer there, people can't be resurrected after death, and our lives will be the same, right? I heard that you wanted to go directly with Yin Brown on the night of Jiamen Pass? What a stupid girl, if Yin Brown is in the spirit of the sky, I wouldn't want to see you belittle yourself like this. What did he do so hard to sacrifice his life for? Isn't it to give you a stability? Are you doing this now, do you want to make his spirit in heaven unat peace? ”
Xin Zi listened to Mrs. Tang's words, but she only thought that if she hadn't been moved by compassion for Tang Yinzhong's bitter pleading that day, if she hadn't disobeyed Ah Brown's instructions to leave the mansion on the outskirts of the city, and if she hadn't come to save this woman, she wouldn't have been forced to go to the underground secret room, and she wouldn't have seen the picture that she would never forget for the rest of her life, and there would be no future ......
Or a little further, I listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Nishiyu, listened to a piece of advice from my uncle, and no longer set foot on the land of Dongyuan, and did not approach this capital......
So many ifs, now they have turned into remorse.
Hate yourself for being stupid, hate yourself for killing Ah Brown.
Now Ah Brown is gone, but the woman in front of her is alive, Tang Jiashan is alive, the Tang Mansion is intact, Tokyo City is intact, only her Ah Brown is gone......
Thinking of this, Xin Zi's hand unconsciously reached to his waist to look for the dagger, only to find that all the weapons on his body had been removed, leaving only a few items that were not fatal in his purse.
When I turned my head and looked around, I couldn't find a sharp weapon that could kill me.
Now I can't even ask for death?
Xin Zi smiled bitterly, tears in the corners of her eyes.
Mrs. Tang saw that she had said so much bitterly, but this little girl didn't listen to half a sentence, and now she was crying and laughing by herself, looking crazy.
She sighed in her heart, but she was not annoyed. Knowing that this child was the only person he could rely on, he was depressed in his heart, and now it was useless to say anything, so he had to shake his head and say: "You can rest here in peace first, recuperate for a few days, and heal the injuries on your body." I left Takemoto with you, and if there is any problem these days, you just have to tell her and let her go find me. ”
After saying that, he gently patted the back of Xin Zi's hand again, and then slowly got up and left.
The maidservant named Takemoto carried Mrs. Tang out of the door and then turned back, Xu is identity is different, her attitude is completely different from Mrs. Tang, sent Mrs. Tang away, came to Xin Zi's bed without saying a word, and stayed there motionless.
Xin Zi glanced around, trying to find a sharp weapon or two in the corner.
"Miss Xin, let's save some effort, Mrs. Tang left the slave and maid by your side, just to prevent you from seeking death again, so girl, you should think less about this aspect, you and I will be more relaxed." (To be continued.) )
