Chapter 44: If you do it all over again
The mountain monster screamed, but several golden lights split in front of him, accompanied by a huge vibration like a landslide, the mountain monster fell to the ground, Xia Yuqian turned his head, but saw a man in black standing behind him, his eyes were as warm as jade, but there was a little vicissitudes of life.
He looked at Xia Yuqian, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"You're wounded," he said as he walked over to her and crouched down to look at the wound on her knee, which was still stained with black blood, "that iron thorn is poisonous, and the venom is going to be squeezed out." ”
He pressed lightly, Xia Yuqian screamed in pain and retracted his legs.
"I'm gentle. He gently pulled her legs back, lowered his head and pressed his lips to her knees, sucking out the venom.
Xia Yuqian looked at him in a daze, this scene was so familiar, but she knew that it had never happened, it was the first time she had seen this person. She looked at him quietly, as if hoping that time would pass a little slower, a little slower......
The man bandaged the wound on her forehead again.
"I'll take you home. He turned around and let Xia Yuqian lie on his back, his shoulders were broad and powerful, Xia Yuqian was tired of lying on his shoulder, and the heart that had been hanging and restless all the time was finally let go.
He carried her on his back through the forest, through the vast wheat fields, over the rolling streams, over the eaves of the town, until at last they came to a halt on a hillside full of red maple trees, and below the hillside was a peaceful mountain village, where smoke rose from the roofs of the villagers' houses, and the sun rose in the east, reflecting the land, the mountains, and the hubo......
"It's home. He put her down and looked at her with some reluctance.
Xia Yuqian looked at the red maple leaves all over the mountain and recognized that it was Hongshan Village, but she didn't expect that although a thousand years had passed, it was still miraculously preserved.
"How do you know my home is here?" she asked, looking at the man a little strangely.
"There's a lot more I know," the man crouched down with a mysterious but warm smile on his face, "I have a long, long story to tell, and I hope to tell you one day." ”
Xia Yuqian looked at him, for a long time, she stretched out her little hand and held his slender fingers, "Thank you, you saved me today." ”
With that, she let go of her hand and walked down the hill.
"Yuqian!" he suddenly stopped her.
"Why are you ......" Xia Yuqian turned her head in surprise, but was hugged tightly by him, his arms were so warm, and there was a sense of déjà vu, she gradually closed her eyes.
"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely ......" He gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, Xia Yuqian felt her face warm, she slowly opened her eyes, but the person in front of her was gone, only the sun was gently reflected on her face......
Although Xia Yuqian felt a little incredible, she quickly forgot about it.
She walked back to the village, which had been completely renovated, and the people inside were no longer the same villagers she remembered, but their faces were as peaceful as she remembered.
As she walked along the fence road in the village, she saw a beautiful young woman sitting in the shade of a tree, sewing the buttons that had fallen from a little boy's clothes. The woman also saw Xia Yuqian, who was bloodstained, disheveled, and unkempt, and motioned for the little boy to wait on the side, and walked in front of her by herself.
"Child, what's wrong with you?" she asked with concern as she looked at Xia Yuqian, who was covered in injuries.
Xia Yuqian looked at her with unfamiliar eyes, and then looked at the little brother behind her.
"What's your name and where is your home?"
"My name is Xia Yuqian, and my home is in Hongshan Village. ”
"Xia ......" the young woman's eyes suddenly widened, "You are Xia Yuqian?"
She looked the little girl in front of her carefully, up and down, took her hand, and ran towards the village.
"Ling Xiao, keep up!" she said as she turned back to the little boy under the shade of the tree.
Xia Yuqian felt inexplicable, she was pulled to the door of a house, the woman pushed open the wooden fence door outside the yard, and shouted inside: "Sister-in-law, come and see!"
"Yo, ma'am, aren't you going to the market?" Out of the house came a peasant woman, thick black hair mixed with a hint of white hair, she put the basin in her hand on the stool beside her, and wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, "Madam, have you forgotten something?"
The woman shook her head, flashed around, and pushed Xia Yuqian in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, Yuqian is back!" her eyes were still shining with tears.
The peasant woman was stunned when she heard this, and their daughter Xia Yuqian was tricked into slavery by traffickers when she was three years old, and later contracted malaria and died......
She looked at the little girl in front of her who was still stained with blood in front of her, she was also called Xia Yuqian, but I am afraid that she is an orphan, and if her child is still alive, it will be as old as her. After a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath and cried and pounced, holding Xia Yuqian in her arms. Xia Yuqian was startled, and she almost didn't catch her breath when she hugged her.
"Oh, hey, my child, my baby, I look forward to you back, where have you been all these years?
Ah!" she cried, her voice echoing over the village.
The young woman next to her watched the scene of their mother and daughter getting together, and couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
A middle-aged farmer in the house also rushed out at this time, and looked at the scene outside the house with a surprised expression.
"This ......"
"Uncle, your daughter has been found! Yuqian has been found!" the young woman almost jumped for joy.
"Ouch, old man, our girl Yuqian is back, look at it, they've grown so big!" the peasant woman winked at her husband and shouted excitedly.
"You...... It's called Xia Yuqian?" the farmer asked as he looked at Xia Yuqian in a daze.
Xia Yuqian nodded in a daze, looking at his kind but unfamiliar eyes, but the eye sockets were suddenly slightly moist.
"Hey, Yuqian!" he knelt down and hugged Xia Yuqian from his wife's arms, "You want to kill Daddy! Daddy thought he would never see you again in this life! It was Daddy's negligence back then that made the traffickers cheat you away! It's all Daddy's fault!"
"Don't say it! Don't say it!" The peasant woman covered her face with her hands and couldn't cry anymore, "Yuqian! Don't worry, your father and mother will treat you well in the future!"
Xia Yuqian also hugged them tightly, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes. At that moment, she thought, maybe they were her parents in her previous life, which is why they would be so lucky and coincidental to meet again in this life......
Since then, she has entered this new family, her father is a farmer, her mother is a servant for young women, and later, she has a younger brother who is seven years younger than herself, named Yamasuke. The mysterious young woman had a son who was two years older than her, and became her unrelated brother.
Because of the slave mark on Xia Yuqian's back, she can't live freely in the village like an ordinary person. Seven years later, the young woman fell seriously ill and before she died entrusted her to her stepson, a kind young master, who opened a bookstore in the town. On the same day, a group of horsemen came to the village and picked up the little boy, who left her the address of his new home and a red token of Hanfu......
