Chapter 16 Mo Shang Flowers Bloom, Can Slowly Return (1)
After running all night, when it was dawn, I saw the curling smoke of the peasant houses at the foot of the mountain. Yin Suwen suddenly felt in his heart for a while, although he went down the mountain safely, he didn't know where he should go. The half of the double luan pendant was held in the palm of her hand all the way, but the mountain wind was cold and the jade pendant was hot, just like her tormented and tangled mood at the moment.
Recalling the moment when the man and bear attacked last night, the first thing she wanted to protect and worry about was whether this half of the jade pendant was safe but not her own life or death. Zhang Shaoqing, the name that had made her dream for ten years finally became her disaster.
Even if it is just a jade pendant that can represent the Zhang family, it is extremely precious here in Yin Suwen, so precious that she is willing to protect it at the cost of her life. It's a pity that she never thought about whether it was worth it for her to pay at such a cost, and whether the person who was deeply loved would feel sorry for her.
"Do you still want to see him?"
Looking at the half of the jade pendant in his hand, he smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly, and silently thought as if he was comforting himself.
"It's better not to see each other, Yin Su asked, let it go."
The so-called obsession is like this, drinking to quench thirst but dying without repentance, knowing that there is a dead end and still falling willingly, that is obviously a person who hurts himself deeply, but he can't bear to forget it.
"Girl, please stay, dare to ask, but Miss Yin?"
Yin Su was stunned, and he didn't notice that the sergeant of the three-person team had already patrolled to his side.
"No, you recognized the wrong person."
She hurried to leave but was blocked by three steel knives at the same time, and it was clear that her flickering words had aroused the suspicions of the three of them.
"What do you mean by this, military masters, in broad daylight, do you have to rob the people's daughters?"
One of the three didn't answer Yin Su's question, but only stepped forward to take a closer look at her, opened a painting scroll he was carrying, and carefully compared it before revealing a relieved expression.
"Please also Miss Yin, don't be embarrassed, Shangyuan Mansion is now under martial law in the whole city, and Miss will never be able to get out of the city even if she goes down the mountain!"
The three sergeants who confirmed Yin Suwen's identity saluted her half-kneeling at the same time, and they spoke with kind words and persuasions, but their tone was not polite, and the steel knife in their hands was not sheathed. Obviously, if she is determined to leave at this time, she will inevitably have a fight.
"Let's all get up."
Sighing secretly, Yin Suwen, who couldn't get out, could only stabilize the situation first and make plans later when he had the opportunity.
"You were sent by Lord Fu Yin? Did he arrange where you would take me? ”
"Miss Hui, the men and horses sent by Lord Yin are all searching in Nanshan, and the sergeant here is sent by Zhang Gongzi of the Prime Minister's Mansion. According to the order of the childe, once the young lady is found, he will report back immediately, so I have to ask Miss Yin to go with me. ”
"Zhangfu? Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Shaoqing's person. ”
Yin Suwen suddenly felt funny, looking at the current scene, as if all this was just a farce from beginning to end, and she was no different from the tragic resentful women who cried, made trouble, hanged themselves, ran away from home and tried their best to win the attention of men. Her world is so big, she escaped, and she was angry, but she couldn't escape from Zhang Shaoqing's palm after all.
Thinking of this, Yin Suwen nodded in agreement, and motioned for the sergeant to lead the way ahead, and that road led to the Prime Minister of the Zhang family's mansion.
For ten years, she had become accustomed to relying on, looking up to, and even humbly worshipping the man, worshipping him as a god, and treating him as the last life-saving float in the hands of a drowning man. In the long days, what she was best at was silently missing and waiting, always thinking that no matter the storm, as long as there was a positive look from him among thousands of people, it was enough. Even now, after death, she didn't have enough courage to wield a knife to break off her relationship, and she still harbored this absurd wish - to see him.
Ten years is too long, long enough to easily change a person's life.
It was a long way to go from Donghuang Mountain to Zhangfu, but she felt that time passed too quickly, and she was so nervous that she even became short of breath.
Entering the inner courtyard through the secret passage of Zhang's mansion, passing through the pond, you can see a sea of flowers in the distance, which is particularly dazzling in the middle of winter.
Since the two of them made a private lifelong agreement, Zhang Shaoqing has built an identical garden in his own courtyard according to the appearance of Yin's peach forest. Not only did he transplant the precious flowers from the south of the Yangtze River with a lot of money, but he even found a magician from the Western Regions to improve the varieties, so that the peach blossoms in March could bloom brilliantly in the middle of winter.
The escort retreated on their own at the entrance to the peach forest. It's an exclusive place to commemorate her love, and she's more familiar than anyone else.
The peach forest in Zhangfu is carefully cared for day and night, and now it looks more prosperous and beautiful than when the peach blossoms in Yinfu were in full bloom. Slowly walking along the winding path into the depths of the peach forest, every place is familiar with the past, and every glance is full of memories.
Ten years ago, she only said unintentionally, 'I'm afraid there is a mysterious fairy living in the peach blossom forest of Yin's mansion, and this kind of beauty can't be learned by other forests', Zhang Shaoqing not only opened this identical garden, but also asked the warlock to set up a Hopewell Bagua Array here to prevent outsiders from entering, and said with a smile that he would trap his Suwen fairy in his peach blossom forest for the rest of his life. In the lush fragrance of flowers, recalling such a past event, there was only a wry smile and helplessness.
The last part of the formation ahead is three intertwined paths, with only the rightmost one being the correct route to the depths of the woods. What is different from the past is that at this moment, all the branches of this path are densely tied with red cloth strips, and each cloth strip has clear or faint ink marks.
"Susu, where are you? "
"Susu, I was wrong! "
"Susu, come back! "
"Susu, I miss you! "
・・・・・・
The flowers bloom on the mo, and they can return slowly. It's like every day since she left, Zhang Shaoqing will wait here, calling her back.
Yin Suwen looked at it all the way, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't help himself, why bother in the first place. She was suddenly a little confused, Zhang Shaoqing in this forest is obviously still the man who is considerate, gentle and affectionate, or the lover who says, "There is only one person in this life", how did the two of them come to this point today.
There seemed to be a familiar voice in her heart persuading, "Susu, don't go any more, how can you be willing?" Seeing that he was about to disarm and surrender, another sharp voice immediately burst out, "Yin Su asked, do you still want to deceive yourself like this?" I can't go back for a long time! Can't go back! ”
In an instant, all the pictures of the past poured into my mind like a flood, Zhang Shaoqing and her held hands and looked at each other with tenderness, and the prodigal pictures of Zhang Shaoqing and Hua Yingying playing naked were all chaotic and overlapping. All the scenes came one after another, like a surging wave crashing into her psychological defense, and she was about to collapse.
