Chapter 5 Li Miaozhu

It took a year for the two of them to save food and inspection, and they saved some plates. Lu Feng walked out of the small mountain village and saw the world outside. He was sixteen years old that year, and Li Miaozhu was nineteen years old, and the two regretted parting to each other. It's still by the same creek.

Li Miaozhu sent him away with a smile, Lu Feng's back became more and more blurred, and Li Xiuzhu finally shed tears hidden in her eyes.

After that, Li Miaozhu did farm work during the day to take care of both parents, and continued to weave at night to make money, but the weaving time was later, only sleeping for two or three hours a day, and she never added a new dress, and all the money was sent to Lu Feng.

Uncle Zhang in Lu Fenggen Village learned to write, and I heard the elders say that Uncle Zhang fled here after the war that year. He was seriously injured and was saved by the village chief's daughter, so he stayed here, never went out again, every New Year's holiday, everyone will go to him to write Spring Festival couplets, he is the only person here who can read and break words.

In his spare time, he would also give the children to read and write, but no one liked it, and he didn't want to be controlled when he was used to it, and besides, these words were useless in the village. Only Lu Feng likes it, and often runs to him for advice.

At the beginning, she received a letter within a few days, which was Li Miaozhu's happiest moment. Li Miaozhu ran to Uncle Zhang and explained it to her. In order to reply to Lin Ziyu's letters, she took time out to read and write every day, and slept less.

Slowly, letters changed from a few days to a month to two months.

This year, the moon was very cold, the snow was very heavy, and the cold thatched hut could not withstand the severe cold that penetrated into the bones. Li Miaozhu hugged the quilt when she got married, and the night was so bleak, the wind was blowing, and she cried. Or fear, or longing, or loneliness.

Finally received a letter, Lu Feng said that he was coming back. Li Miaozhu trembled and held the letter, picked up the mirror and looked at herself. She took out the clothes she made for Lu Feng to stay up late and touched them, but she was still wearing the patched clothes.

It's been two years, and we're finally going to meet. Lu Feng has become more mature and more handsome. Li Miaozhu couldn't help but look at it, and threw herself into Lu Feng's arms, the arms that had been lost for a long time.

Lu Feng and Li Miaozhu talked a lot about the outside, saying that as long as he had a chance, he would definitely take her out.

Li Miaozhu looked forward to their life together and wanted to see the imperial capital that Lu Feng said. There are vendors selling along the streets, luxurious restaurants and palaces, and gorgeous and precious flowers.

After a long absence, Lu Feng visited relatives and friends, stayed for seven days and went back, he told Li Miaozhu. "Miaozhu, I'm going to take the top prize, as long as you have fame, you can live a good life." Li Miaozhu smiled and said goodbye to Lu Feng.

"All I want is to stay with you until I am old, as you said that you will not be separated for the rest of your life, and that's enough." He didn't dare to tell Lu Feng that Li Miaozhu was twenty-one years old this year.

The days went on as always, and the sun was unusually hot this year, like a big ball of fire scorching the earth, and disaster came to this isolated village.

There is almost no harvest throughout the year, and they live only on stored grain. Li Miaozhu's life was even more difficult, and she had to save half of her rations for Lu Feng. Chronic fatigue and malnutrition made her look much older. His hands are also covered with thick calluses left by various work, and they are no longer as radiant as they used to be.

The handwriting of the letter sent by Lu Feng became less and less, as if there was nothing to say to her, and Li Miaozhu became more and more uneasy.

But the heavens did not intend to let them go, and the snow did not stop for several days this year, and there was a dead silence all around, only the white sky. The ridge could not bear the weight of the snow and the avalanche fell.

The snow instantly flooded the entire village, and even the cries for help were heard. Li Xiuzhu escaped because she came out to dig sweet potatoes.

When she went back, everything was buried by the snow, and she desperately wanted to see her relatives again, but unfortunately there was no chance, and her hands were frozen and she had no strength. How she wished she could go with them like this, but she couldn't have Lu Feng, this was her only belief in surviving.

This belief sustained her and walked down the mountain. The road was slippery and long, and she almost slid down the hill several times, but she was not afraid.

When it's cold, pick up some branches to make a fire to keep warm, and when you're hungry, dig some sweet potato roots to support yourself to survive. Her thin back looked particularly thin in the white expanse.

Finally, I arrived in a small town and survived by working for others by weaving cloth.

The people here are very good to her, let her feel the warmth of home, she saved some coils like the boss lady to say goodbye, she wants to find the only support in this world.

Finally arrived at the imperial capital, this is the lively street and bustling restaurant that Lu Feng said. Li Miaozhu wet her eyes again, she remembered that Lu Feng said that studying in Tianfu Academy, taking the top prize, let herself live a good life.

Along the way, she was reluctant to live in the inn, and she lived in the broken temple and horse shed. She had already inquired about the exact location. Today she specially changed into her best clothes, went to the river to wash her face and comb her hair, and she saw the reflection in the water. I don't know how long it's been since I've looked at myself so well, I'm only twenty-one years old, and I look so haggard.

She found Lu Feng, and Lu Feng was stunned when he saw her, and a trace of anger appeared between his eyebrows. Li Miaozhu didn't understand, they hadn't seen each other for three years.

"How did you get here?" Li Miaozhu opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, and the joy in her heart was instantly extinguished by this indifferent voice.

The people around him coaxed: "Lu Feng, who is this?" ”

"She, she's my cousin." Li Miaozhu looked at Lu Feng's dodging eyes, held back the desolation in her heart and nodded.

"I'm her cousin." She knows that Lu Feng is no longer the little boy who liked to pester her to play with when he was a child, nor is he the boy who said that he likes her and wants to marry her, let alone the man who said that he would take her out to live a good life when he took the top prize.

Lu Feng took Li Miaozhu to the place where he lived. After hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Miaozhu, we, we're not suitable together, I already have a woman I like, I know I'm sorry for you, but ......"

"You don't have to say it, I understand." Li Miaozhu turned around and left, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She also wanted to die in the past, but she still couldn't rest assured that Lu Feng would not be relieved. She had an errand for an embroidery girl in the imperial capital, and she still gave most of her earnings to Lu Feng. She thought that even if she wasn't her husband, she was the closest person in the world. He didn't tell Lu Feng about the avalanche, for fear of affecting his exam studies.

When the exam results were released, she specially squeezed into the crowd to watch, Lu Feng was in high school to explore the flowers, she was happy like a child, and she was slowly lost, he didn't even need his own money.

Li Miaozhu humbly loves Lu Feng like this. Lu Feng looked for Li Miaozhu after high school, and was so happy to learn that he came to find him. Lu Feng was dressed in light blue brocade and satin, with a hosta pinned to his hair, which was worth a lot of money at first glance. Li Miaozhu looked down at her leaky shoes, and was a little flustered for a while.

After some words, Li Miaozhu was as uncomfortable as an initiation, the day she was worried about finally came, and time and knowledge had long diluted the relationship between them. Lu Feng gave Li Miaozhu a sum of money, hoping that she would leave, he was going to get married, and he wanted to marry the daughter of the university scholar Su Zhe, the university scholar was his teacher, he didn't want his fiancée to know that he had been married, no matter what, he could only be sorry for Li Miaozhu for his career.

"I won't disturb your life, don't worry." Li Miaozhu didn't ask Lu Feng's money to leave him a decisive back.

Lu Feng was stunned for a while, and there was a painful look on his face, maybe he was guilty. How cruel it is for a woman to give him the best of her years, and yet he abandons her.

Li Miaozhu unconsciously walked far away, holding a rope and wanting to end her life. Lu Feng didn't need himself anymore. She didn't die after all, she was saved by a bachelor who was hunting.

The man was tall and mighty, with two big yellow teeth and dark skin when he smiled, but he was very honest and kind. Under his care, Li Miaozhu's mood gradually improved, and the man knew that he was not worthy of her, so he recognized her as his sister and took care of Li Miaozhu silently.

Li Miaozhu hated and resented. But when she heard that Lu Feng's family was about to be beheaded for being convicted of angering Long Yan, she was completely panicked. She thought that she wished Lu Feng was going to die, and he broke her heart. But it turned out that it was not, she still loved him, even if he hurt himself for so many years. But his own ability is insignificant, so why should he save him?

She remembered the legend, the legend that in the dark night can grant any wish, she can only be sorry for Zhao Da, the Orion who silently guards her. If she is lucky enough to survive, she will definitely marry Zhao Da, the man who has always guarded herself and warmed herself.

Finally she saw the dawn of the pearl of the night in the darkness and found this place.

Compared to her, Ji Ruxi found that she didn't seem to love Chu Zhehan as much as she imagined. Lu Feng is Chu Zhehan's courtier, and the charge of angering Long Yan seems a bit far-fetched.

I heard that the women in the palace are now fighting vigorously, and the front and back harems are closely related. It turned out that Chu Zhehan's so-called sole pet was just using himself as a shield.

Li Miaozhu opened her eyes, as if she had a dream, dreaming of all her experiences, and had mixed feelings for a while.

"Are you sure you want to save him?" Ji Ruxi touched the soft fur of the snow fox in her arms.

"I'm sure." Seeing her resolute expression, there was no reason not to accept the gifts sent to the door.

"Do you know what the price will be?"

"Whatever it is, as long as it can save him."

"I will dig out your heart and be my slave for the rest of my life, you will not have any more feelings in the future, you will only be heartfelt to me." Ji Ruxi's cold voice poured into Li Xiuzhu's ears.

"Can you beg again, please do one thing." Li Xiuzhu's voice choked. "Please, erase Zhao Da's memory and make him forget me and live a good life." Ji Ruxi nodded, dug out Li Miaozhu's heart, sealed her soul and became her own slave.

Ji Ruxi fulfilled his promise to rescue Lu Feng's family, maybe he would never know that there was a stupid woman who sacrificed her eternal freedom for him.

Ji Ruxi came to the ice-covered palace again, which she built especially for the Qing Dynasty. She will never forget the day when her body was slowly repaired, and now he lies there quietly. Soak Zhang Zifan's special antiseptic potion every day.

Ji Ruxi will come here every day to sleep with him, their body temperature is the same, and Ji Ruxi will not feel lonely when he is there. Ji Ruxi has also been to the underworld, but she can't find his soul, she can only find him if she makes herself stronger, even if she silently guards him Ji Ruxi is willing, just like he guarded himself.

Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the palace, and those dead phantoms in the Fengxuan Hall will jump into everyone's sight every night, living as usual. In fact, it's just a recreation of the previous scene, and everything is an illusion.

Ji Ruxi could only see the person who had accompanied her at this moment, and she saw Su Chan go to the imperial dining room to get bird's nest, and the little palace maid turned her head.

"Su Chan...... Sister Su Chan" fainted in fright.

Xiaocui cleans the palace, and Yuexi waters the flowers and cuts the grass......

The current palace has become everyone's nightmare at night, they are all dead, but how can it not be scary to perform what they have done every night.

Chu Zhehan didn't believe it, and in order to shake the rumors, he led his troops to Fengxuan Hall late at night.

He still saw this scene, and even the scene of Ji Ruxi sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting also emerged, and his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

"The emperor is here, you all go down." Ji Ruxi opened his mouth, and the servants in the palace disappeared in an instant.

"The emperor came up, was he frightened by your concubine? Why is she okay? Ji Ruxi smiled skillfully. disappeared immediately, leaving behind a thunderous Chu Zhehan. Chu Zhehan remembered Lin Anli's current appearance and wanted to eat Ji Ruxi alive, but he was helpless.

The next day, Chu Zhehan invited Huiyuan, the holy monk of Wanbao Temple, who had some practice and was quite famous a few years ago. He came as if he had reassured everyone, and Chu Zhehan specially built a Buddhist hall for him in the palace.

In the evening, he broke my change of formation, reassured everyone, and called Chu Zhehan aside.

"This woman's resentment is too deep, she must be just some illusion around here, if she is completely subdued, I'm afraid the old man will not be able to do anything, according to the old man's calculations, she has become a demon, and her strength is immeasurable, Amitabha." Suddenly, the beads in his hand broke.

"That master can't just look at the world."

"Only now can you have a chance of winning if you find the ancient artifact." Hui Yuan shook his head.

"Artifact, the master knows where the artifact goes." Chu Zhehan asked anxiously.

"If you want to talk about the artifact, it has been sealed after the flood desolation demon beast year, there is only a legend of a few words, no one knows where the artifact is, please let Lao Wei study it." Seeing Huiyuan's frowning, Chu Zhehan also knew that it would be easy to find this artifact.
