136. The Edge of Life and Death
A familiar voice was in front of her, but how could she feel so trance-like, so distant? Opening her miserable eyes, she looked at this crazy little woman blankly, and her voice was gloomy, "Mu Xueman, what made you what you are now?" Can you ...... It's pathetic. ”
"Xia Zining, take pity on yourself first!" She shouted hysterically, her mouth almost touching An Xin's face......
But why did she feel so weak and helpless in front of this half-dead woman? It's like no matter how much she beats her or scolds her, she won't beg for mercy or show weakness, but she is really weak.
"I'm not called Xia Zining."
Mu Xueman's eyes widened, "What?" ”
"My name is An Xin."
An Xin? The name of his dead wife!
As if hearing a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Mu Xue was stunned, staring at the lifeless woman in front of her in fear, and her voice trembled obviously...... What did you say? ”
"Hehe......" In the past, she was afraid of stimulating Mu Xueman, so she never understood these things to her, but now there is no need, An Xin smiled, laughing indifferently and sarcastically
"Mu Xueman, you didn't expect it, I didn't die at all, I am his rightful wife, you keep saying that I have ruined your happiness and keep saying that I am a bad woman, but who wants to destroy whom, who is cheap?"
"You lie......" Mu Xueman was stunned suddenly, and the previous anger instantly turned into nothingness, like a defeated rooster "Xia Zining, you lie, you lie!" Ling Ye obviously mentioned to me that you ruined our ......"
"He never loved you, why did he ......" The cold wind hit through the crack in the door, blowing through her weak body, such cold was like a knife cut, making her tremble, taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth, and two resolute lines faintly bloomed in her gloomy eyes
"He doesn't love you, you say, why would he suddenly propose to you?"
He never loved her! The most unbearable place in his heart was pierced, Mu Xueman's heart was cold, but he refused to admit it, "Why do you say?" ”
"Because you're pretending to be me."
"Boom!" Mu Xueman's heart seemed to be shattered suddenly, and she took a step back in a panic, feeling for the first time that the weak woman in front of her was so stubborn and terrifying.
"I used to have a nickname...... It's called Ruru, I have a jade pendant that was given to me in the middle of the night, but I don't know how it got into your hands, I think it's because of that jade pendant that mistook you for me. Mu Xueman, now tell me, who wants to destroy whom, and who is cheap? ”
Ruru, jade pendant!
It turned out that what he loved had always been the woman in front of him, and the short-lived beauty he gave her was actually a charity that he asked for through this woman's identity...... She has always been a self-deception!
Suddenly like a gap was opened in her heart, all the extravagance, all the hopes, and even the hatred for An Xin were vented together, she looked at An Xin blankly, she was soaking wet in front of her, her face was red and swollen, it should be very painful, however, it was just the pain of the body, how could it compare to the pain in her heart?
Mu Xue is retreating, is she repentant? An Xin smiled bitterly, "Song Shenxuan and Ling Ye have a grudge, Xinru, if you really love him, please don't stand on Song Shenxuan's side......"
"Say no more!" Interrupting her suddenly, Mu Xue stepped back tremblingly, and it was only now that she understood why Chu Lingye had always loved An Xin instead of her, the weak woman in front of her had fallen to such a point that her life was in danger, but what she was worried about and worried about was not herself but him......
An Xin was unwilling, her eyes were already pleading, "Song Shenxuan kidnapped me to hurt Ling Ye, Xinru, you must help him ......"
"Enough!" In a panic, Mu Xueman suddenly picked up the basin of more water on the small table next to him, and poured it on An Xin's head with a "poof".
The icy cold water poured from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, and even the tips of her hair, shoes and socks were soaked, and the extreme cold made her weak body cramp and tremble.
"Cough, cough, cough......"
The coldness seeped into her lungs, she kept coughing, instinctively wanted to curl up and hug herself, but her hands were tied so tightly that she couldn't move, so she could only endure and bear silently......
"Xia Zining, you must die!"
Mu Xueman's voice fell, followed by a "bang" slamming the door, and she left.
She had long known how much it hurt Mu Xueman to tell her these facts, so even if she misunderstood her in the past, she never explained it to her, but what happened in the end? Didn't the people she sympathized with and pity hurt her so cruelly?
It's cold, like a sharp blade cutting through the skin and dissolving into the blood, and the heart is piercing!
She took a deep breath, persevered and persevered, and the breath exhaled from her mouth and nose turned into cold frost......
Insisting on raising her head, in a trance, she saw her figure from the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror in front of her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a sad smile
She had a wooden stake more than one person high on each side, her hands were tied to the stake, and the whole person was in a "big" shape, her hair was dragged apart, because it was wet, so it was messily attached to her face and hung down into her neck, and her little face was bloody, her whole body was soaked, and her whole body was like a prisoner who had committed a serious crime and had just been tortured, so miserable and desolate.
Brother Midnight King, where are you?
"Drip, drip......"
Cold water dripped down the ends of the hair and landed at your feet, making tiny splashes.
In the gloomy room, only the roar of the cold wind and the movement of dripping water remained, and even the subtle movements seemed to be infinitely magnified, and she could hear them so clearly and meticulously, however, her consciousness became more and more blurred......
I want to close my eyes and fall asleep like this, never to have to suffer such pain and never wake up again......
But she couldn't die!
It has to be persevered, if she dies, what will happen to her Night King brother?
The weak little hands suddenly clenched, and the petite body throbbed suddenly, and she forced herself to open her eyes, and the dim eyes bloomed with sparkling light again......
……
"Boom!"
The carriage hit the rocks on the mountainside, and the rope that tied the horse suddenly broke, Chu Lingye tried to tie the horse again and again, but it couldn't be linked, and finally the two horses escaped due to fright.
Looking anxiously ahead, there was only a quarter of an hour left before the agreed time......
"Damn it!" Hateful kicked in the car, he slammed the door in a hurry, and quickly ran up the steep mountain road.
Knowing that Song Shenxuan's methods were ruthless and he could do anything, he didn't dare to risk An Xin's safety, so he rushed over alone, and he was not much sure that he would rescue her, but as long as there was a chance, he would never give up, even if there was a net waiting for him in front of him......
Next to the pine tree by the thatched house, Song Shenxuan held a telescope made of bamboo tubes, looking at the long figure running on the mountain road from a distance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with satisfaction, "Chu Lingye, it's really punctual." ”
"Don't forget what you promised me." Mu Xueman's voice sounded behind him.
"Don't worry, my little beauty......" He put down the binoculars, turned around, and pinched Mu Xueman's haggard little face hard, "I will never let your Chu Lingye be injured at all." ”
He will not let him die, he will not let him be injured, he will let him live worse than death, and let him spend the rest of his life in pain and suffering......
Slowly got up and walked to the grass hut, "Squeak!" Pushing the wooden door open, seeing An Xin's tragic situation, even the ruthless he couldn't help but be stunned, gasped, and raised his voice inside and said, "Xia Zining, hold on, Chu Lingye will come to save you soon, hehehe......"
He walked back to Mu Xueman with a sneer, and looked at this weak-looking little woman mockingly, "Mu Xueman, I really didn't see the wrong person, the first time I saw you, I knew that a little woman like you would do anything to achieve her own goals." ”
Looking at Song Shenxuan's hideous and evil face calmly, the corners of Mu Xueman's mouth trembled coldly, but he didn't want to say a word.
In just ten days, her life was turned upside down, and she turned into such a bad woman that she had hated and shamed before, but she couldn't turn back.
"After the incident, you can completely return to Chu Lingye's side and act as a good woman, as long as I don't say that there is no second person in the world who knows about this matter, little beauty, do you say?" Song Shenxuan smiled evilly, and his slender fingers lightly hooked Mu Xueman's round chin......
If it weren't for the urgency to do, he really wanted to ask her here again, the smell of this little woman really made him nostalgic.
Clearly capturing the trace of evil in his eyes, Mu Xueman unconsciously remembered the picture of being bullied and humiliated by him in the past few days, frowned painfully, turned around and walked towards the woods behind the grass house.
……
Is her Midnight King brother coming?
An Xin's heart almost stopped beating suddenly, and she tried to prop up her head, which was hanging down due to weakness, and with the slightest movement, her frozen clothes made a "gurgling" sound.
At this time, the wooden door was open, and the raging cold wind surged in like countless cold needles, mercilessly stinging every inch of her skin, however, the door was empty, where was his figure?
He would be in danger if he came, but she was still looking forward to seeing him......
She breathed hard, every minute, every second seemed like a long century, too painful, too difficult.
"Ruru, where are you? Ruru! ”
Suddenly there was a familiar cry in the wind, so faint, so ethereal, and yet she could hear it so clearly.
It was him, and she knew that her Night King brother would definitely come to save her!
A warm current rose in her almost frozen heart, and she opened her mouth with difficulty, "I...... I ......"
But she was too cold, her mouth and tongue were stiff and numb, and no matter how hard she tried, her throat could only make fine lines, like frozen mosquitoes and flies in the cold winter, too weak and weak.
"Ruru! Ruru! ”
The anxious shouts drew nearer, and then she saw him appear at the door, he was wearing the black cloak he usually wore, his tall figure was messy in the wind, and even though he looked panicked, he was still so majestic and handsome......
She tried to keep her eyes together and looked at him, she couldn't help but smile, but she couldn't, her stiff lips were like cicada wings in the wind, and she couldn't help shaking.
She knew that she couldn't last long, and she refused to give up, just so that she could see him again before she died.
"Ruru!"
The moment he saw her clearly, Chu Lingye's heart seemed to be pierced into thousands of poisonous needles, the colic was unbearable, and his handsome face was distorted in an instant
His Ruru was tied up in this grass hut, her whole body was soaked, the water had even frozen, she was covered with a layer of hoarfrost from head to toe, like a lifeless snowman, her face was as white as paper, and even her lips had frozen into a pale purple......
Heartache almost lost his mind, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth in hatred, and quickened his pace towards her.
She knew it, and he would be distressed to see her like this...... She squinted at him, trying to hold on to what was still unconscious.
He had already arrived at the door, and her Lingye King brother was getting closer and closer to her, but at this moment, she saw Song Shenxuan who appeared behind him, he was holding a bow and crossbow in his hand, aiming at Chu Lingye's back!
"Little ......," she wanted to say, "watch behind you," but she couldn't.
She raised her head with difficulty, looked behind him in fear, and tried to remind him with her eyes, but he was too worried about her and too eager to save her, and he didn't pay any attention to her reminder......
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh! ”
Two cold needles fed with anesthetic medicine flew along the wind, and shot at Chu Lingye's right leg and back in an icy arc across the ice.
"Bang!"
The sturdy body suddenly knelt on the cold wetland, kneeling in front of An Xin!
Consciousness became blurred in an instant, however, Chu Lingye raised his head and tried to hold his eyes to look at the little woman he loved, "Ruru, hold on to ......"
Whispering weakly, he stretched out his trembling right hand, wanting to touch her, his fingertips just touched her frozen clothes, but he couldn't hold on anymore, his eyes were dark, and he lay at An Xin's feet with a "bang".
"Midnight ......!" A slight murmur finally came out of her aching throat, weak and hoarse, she looked down at him, two lines of tears flowed out, quickly cooling and condensing on her frozen face.
"Hehehe, it's so touching." Song Shenxuan walked up to her quietly and picked it with his big hand. Holding her cold little face, "Good, I won't hurt his ......"
"Phew!" She used her best strength to spit at him, "You ......"
I wanted to scold him, however, she didn't have the strength anymore.
"Poof!" I didn't expect An Xindu to be dying and still have such a move, he was defenseless, and she spit on her face, this woman was even spitting cold......
He slowly reached out and wiped it on his face, and then licked his palm with the tip of his tongue, "It's so fragrant...... It's a pity, such a sweet woman is about to die, hehehehe. ”
Evil sneered, he leaned over, grabbed Chu Lingye's hands with both hands, and pulled him towards the door as if he were pulling a piece of wood.
"Let it go...... Let him go! She muttered desperately, her frozen body twisting helplessly.
"What do you say? Can you be louder? I can't hear it, hahaha......"
With a mocking smile, Song Shenxuan dragged Chu Lingye's heavy body and walked forward without looking back.
What will he do to Brother Night? He said he wouldn't hurt him, but if he brought him here and stunned him, what would it be for, if not to hurt him?
Anxious, she watched as Song Shenxuan dragged Chu Lingye to the door, walked to the wooden frame facing the door, and then pulled out the hemp rope from his pocket, tightly entwining his wrists and arms with the wooden frame......
What the hell is this devilish man doing?
……
"Chu Lingye, it's time for you to wake up!" Song Shenxuan picked up the broken porcelain bowl at his feet and splashed a bowl of cold water on Chu Lingye's face.
The endless chill suddenly hit, Chu Ling opened his eyes suddenly, and reflexively wanted to move, but found that his wrists and arms were tightly wrapped in hemp rope.
"Hehehe." Song Shenxuan stood in front of him and looked down at him condescendingly, "The woman you love is in the house, she is about to freeze to death, why don't you save her?" ”
"Song Shenxuan, you bastard!" Chu Lingye gritted his teeth and struggled, his wrist was strangled by the hemp rope, however, he couldn't move.
"Hahahaha...... Chu Lingye, do you dare to use the word bastard? Who could be a more asshole than you in the world? Song Shenxuan stroked the scar on his face with his left hand, he originally had a handsome face, it was Chu Lingye, it was the man in front of him who made him hideous and terrifying, and made him unable to see the light!
From the moment he was released from prison, he never thought about revenge......
"Chu Lingye!" He gritted his teeth with hatred, and his already ugly face was distorted even more terrifying, "You show me, you will never forget what I want to do next in my life!" ”
Leaning over, he picked up the iron bucket on the ground, strode to the front of the grass hut, opened the wooden lid on it, and raised the wooden bucket sharply, and the black liquid inside raised an irregular curve and sprinkled on the dilapidated grass hut with the wind.
The pungent breath rushed into his nose, and Chu Lingye could smell it, it was kerosene...... His heart trembled fiercely, and he shouted loudly, "Song Shenxuan, if she has three longs and two shorts, I will definitely make you pay!" ”
Hehe...... I can't protect myself anymore, do you still want to threaten him?
Song Shenxuan sneered, threw the wooden barrel on the ground with a "bang", slowly took out the fire source from his pocket, lit it with a "click", and looked at Chu Lingye with pity, "Chu Lingye, I want you to watch the woman you love being burned alive but can't save her, I want you to live in regret and pain for the rest of your life!" ”
"Don't, Song Shenxuan, don't ......"
Chu Lingye was hoarse, but it was useless, he saw that the fire source flew out of Song Shenxuan's hand and landed on the grass roof, and the dead grass poured with kerosene suddenly burst into flames when it encountered the fire.
"Hahaha, hahahaha...... Chu Lingye, enjoy this taste, hahahaha......"
The hatred that had been accumulated in his heart for a year was finally vented at this time, he laughed, laughed presumptuously, laughed wildly, laughed his body trembled, looked down at Chu Lingye who was in pain, he turned around and walked into the woods.
He believed that a desperate and torturous life was a hundred times more painful than death.
"Boom!"
The house burned instantly, forming a huge fireball, which turned into tongues of fire and raged around with the help of the wind.
In an instant, the entire grass hut was on fire.
Her Ruru was in the house......
"Ruru, are you okay? Ruru! He shouted, his bright eyes condensed, and he looked at her tied up in the depths of the hut.
His Ruru was there, less than ten meters away from him, but he couldn't save her, he couldn't save her......
struggled desperately, and there were clear red marks on his wrists with hemp rope, but he couldn't break free.
"Ruru, hold on, I will definitely come to save you......"
His voice grew louder and clearer, like a trapped beast in a desperate situation, so sad and desperate, she knew that he was feeling sorry for her, and he was afraid that she would die......
"Ahem!"
The pungent smoke came in, she coughed lightly, squinted at him with miserable eyes, and was reluctant to take her eyes off his face for a second......
has loved, sweetened, and stayed with the person she loves, and her life is worth it.
However, she doesn't want to die yet, she still wants to be with him even if it is bumpy and noisy, and she wants to walk the red carpet with him hand in hand, really worship the church and get married, and she also wants to have a child for him and spend this life with him......
However, there are always people who don't see them well and always want to tear them apart.
"Ruru, Ruru......"
His call was in her ears, however, she could no longer see him, the fire dragon spread so fast, the rolling flames had long since covered the door, she endured the smoke and tried to open her eyes to see out, but she could not see him......
"Boom!"
A pile of burning haystacks collapsed and landed on the wall, and although she was far away, she felt the scorching heat, as if for a moment, the frost on her body would not melt into water, and turn into steam to surround her.
It's not so cold anymore...... She smiled sadly, and finally closed her eyes helplessly, in the fog, she seemed to see his Lingye Wang brother standing in front of her, he gently held her face, smiled gently, smiled green
"Ruru, when I grow up, I will take you away, we will live in a house ten times bigger than here, and I will marry you as my bride."
"Hmm!"
She laughed, tears streaming down her closed eyes.
"Boom!"
The fire became more and more intense, and the entire grass house turned into a sea of fire, Chu Lingye watched, struggling, struggling, and his heart cooled and cooled inch by inch......
Is it really just to watch the woman you love die in the fire?
What else can be done?
He turned his head helplessly to find, at this moment, he suddenly saw the hemp rope tied to his left wrist, he tried to lower his head, his lips could touch, he gritted his teeth, bit the hemp rope with his teeth heavily, and tore hard.
Hard, hard, and hard, and finally pulled off a small handful of twine from the thick hemp rope.
One bite, two bites......
He bit again and again, each time with all his strength, each time he bit a handful, and his soft lips and gums were worn out, and the bright red oozed and dripped down...... He ignored it, like a mad beast, and kept biting......
Finally, the hemp rope was bitten off, and the rope was loosened, and he quickly stood up and rushed into the fire without hesitation.
"Ruru!"
There was another shout from ahead, still her hallucination, she closed her eyes and smiled miserably.
Has she already ...... His heart tightened suddenly, his voice trembled, his right hand held her shoulder, and shook her hard, "Ruru? ”
