Chapter 61: Trapped in the Cave
Summer Nightstar's body trembled, and he said in disbelief: "No, I don't believe it, you are not my brother!" He shook the arm of the Empress Dowager Wuchun and said, "Mother, you told me that this is not true!" ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun looked at Xia Yexing painfully, and said with difficulty: "Child, he is your brother, he is very bitter, don't hate him!" ”
Summer Night Star took a step back: "How is it possible! ”
Xia Lieyang looked at the Empress Dowager Wuchun: "Mother, do you promise to give me Mulan!" ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun shook her head: "I can give you everything else you want, but she can't." ”
Xia Lieyang's face distorted, looking even more terrifying, like a monster from the abyss: "Then I'll rob it!" With that, he lunged towards the crowd.
I exclaimed, and he had already picked me up.
The Empress Dowager Wuchun pounced on him and hugged his thigh: "Lieyang, put down Mulan!" ”
Xia Lieyang snorted, raised her leg and shook it hard, and the Empress Dowager Wuchun's whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, until she hit the wall, and she spit out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, and Summer Night Star let out a cry of grief: "Mother! ”
Empress Dowager Wuchun hugged Xia Yexing and said intermittently: "My bones are broken... I'm afraid I won't be able to live... Night Star, you have to take good care of yourself. ”
Summer Nightstar cried, "No! ”
Xia Lieyang hugged me and took a step back towards me, and said repeatedly in his mouth: "I don't want this, I don't want to do this!" Why do you want to stop me, you brought it on yourself! It's not my fault! ”
After saying that, he ran towards the depths of the temple with me in his hands, and Summer Night Star exclaimed, "Chase! ”
I looked back and saw the crowd coming after us with knives, and I shouted, "Help me!" "Helplessly, Xia Lieyang grew up in this huge labyrinthine underground cave since he was a child, and he left everyone behind in a few steps.
I was carried on my shoulders by Xia Lieyang, and I was scared in my heart. This man was born ugly, with infinite strength, growing up in the dark, and just wounding his mother, and at the moment he is in a violent mood, maybe my hands will be torn apart, and I will become two halves.
"Please let me go!" I pleaded over his shoulder.
Xia Lieyang didn't speak, and carried me to the depths of the cave before putting me down. When I saw it, it was a beautiful room. There are all kinds of objects and furnishings, and it seems that this is where he lives on weekdays.
I cowered into the corner, shivering.
Xia Lieyang took a step closer: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”
I shrank in: "Don't come here!" ”
A trace of hurt flashed in Xia Lieyang's eyes, and he strode over to pick me up and throw me on the bed. I rolled around, leaned my back against the wall, and reached for the dagger in my arms: "Don't come!" ”
Xia Lieyang reached out and grabbed my wrist, the dagger was immediately taken off, and he said angrily: "You want to kill me too? ”
The pain in my wrist where he had pinched it was severe, and I heard the sound of bones cracking, and I let out a scream: "Ah! ”
Xia Lieyang was stunned and let go of his hand, I hugged my wrist and said in pain: "My hand is broken!" ”
Xia Lieyang muttered, "How can this be? ”
I yelled at him, "How can this be! You didn't do it, you did everything! You've just wounded your mother, and now you're breaking my hand. Wouldn't you be responsible for your actions except remorse! With that, I struggled to get off the ground and walked towards the door.
Xia Lieyang grabbed me, just touched my sleeve and dodged like an electric shock: "I have a lot of strength, I'm afraid of hurting you, don't go!" ”
I held my wrist and said helplessly: "Xia Lieyang, I am not your toy, nor is I your relative, how can I accompany you?" ”
Xia Lieyang said: "I... I just want to heal you. ”
After Xia Lieyang connected my bones and fixed them with a wooden plank, he blushed when he saw me glaring at him. I remember the first time I stared at the Summer Night Star, he blushed too. sighed in his heart, the two brothers are so different in appearance, but their personalities are so similar in their bones.
I said softly, "Xia Lieyang, do you want to hide here for the rest of your life?" ”
Xia Lieyang raised his head suddenly: "Just have you with me!" ”
I shook my head: "I still have my own things to do, and I really can't be here with you." ”
Xia Lieyang's face turned to the side: "Are you going to find Chu Jinmo?" ”
I nodded.
He continued: "Don't dream, my mother didn't tell Chu Jinmo about you in Wuchun at all. ”
"What?" I can't believe it. Then I remembered that every time I asked the Empress Dowager Wuchun, her expression was sloppy, and I also had doubts in my heart. Secretly scolding myself for being confused, how could I believe a person like the Empress Dowager Wuchun who crossed the river and demolished the bridge!
Xia Lieyang said: "I heard what you and Yexing said, you don't like him at all, so you won't marry him." But I don't want you to go back to Baishui City to marry Chu Jinmo, you can live here with me! ”
I said helplessly: "Can you send me back to Whitewater City?" ”
Xia Lieyang stood up violently and punched the wall, the whole cave trembled, and a lot of mud and dust fell, I was startled, afraid that he would use his brute force to collapse this place, so I stopped talking and stopped talking.
Xia Lieyang strode out of the city: "I'll go get you some food!" ”
I hurriedly walked over to observe the door he closed, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Xia Lieyang walked in again: "I'm afraid you're leaving, this maze is intricate, you were lucky to get out of the lu last time, but don't go out of the lu to adventure!" ”
The thoughts in my heart were broken by him, but fortunately, I was thick-skinned and couldn't see the blush, so I said, "I know the truth!" Xia Lieyang left with peace of mind.
When he left, I began to look around the room and noticed that there were many bamboo slips stacked in the corner. I flipped through the pages that were actually "Warring States Policy", and then I saw that there were many Han books such as "Zuo Chuan" and "Spring and Autumn". Although this Xia Lieyang is ugly, he is also a studious person.
A moment later, Xia Lieyang came back, carrying a food box in his hand, and set the food on the table. I hadn't eaten for a day, and my index finger was moving so much that I didn't care about being polite to him, so I sat down and ate with one hand.
After I finished eating, I found that Xia Lieyang was looking at me blankly, and I wiped my mouth: "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten anything in the past few days because of the sacrifice!" Laugh, laugh! ”
Xia Lieyang was dumbfounded: "You really don't look like an ordinary woman. ”
After eating, I asked, "Where did you get all this food?" ”
Xia Lieyang showed a wry smile on his face: "My mother has sent someone to bring me food every day, otherwise what will I eat all these years?" ”
I said, "Don't you want to go and see the Empress Dowager Wuchun?" She didn't know what happened to her injury! ”
Xia Lieyang's body shook, and he bowed his head and was silent.
I continued: "If she dies of her injuries, won't you regret it for the rest of your life? ”
Xia Lieyang stretched out his hand and punched the wall, the whole cave was shaken, I was startled, here it is again! I didn't dare to mention it again, and my eyes skimmed to the bamboo slips piled up on the ground. Asked, "Have you read all these books?" ”
Xia Lieyang looked at the bamboo slips: "I've seen them all, the Han people have a broad and profound knowledge, and they can't finish it in a lifetime." ”
I praised: "Live to learn, people can understand only when they have knowledge." Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality. These are the essence of Han culture. ”
Xia Lieyang said: "Are you Han? ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
Xia Lieyang said excitedly: "Then do you know a person named Huo Quai?" ”
My body shook violently, and I looked at him slowly: "Do you know that Dao Huo is sick?" ”
Xia Lieyang nodded again and again: "I heard that he is a big hero among the Han people, and he beat the Huns who have been bullying our Yuexi people to the head." I envy him so much, I wish I could meet him! ”
I feel very proud, Huo Quai's reputation is far and wide, and even the small tribes in this wild land in the west of Yue know his prestige. Then I felt a pain in my heart and collapsed my face.
Xia Lieyang saw that my expression was abnormal, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" But the broken bone hurts? ”
I shook my head and pointed to my heart: "It's here that hurts." ”
Xia Lieyang was puzzled.
I sighed lightly: "Xia Lieyang, do you know what love is?" ”
Xia Lieyang looked at me and said, "Just like you take care of the night star, this is love!" ”
I shook my head: "You know that I don't love Summer Night Star. ”
Xia Lieyang said again: "Just like you treat Chu Jinmo, you always want to go back to Baishui City to marry him?" ”
I shook my head again: "If you really love someone, you will laugh when he laughs, and you will cry when he cries, even if the whole world abandons him, you will not leave him." But if one day, you know that he will be happy only if you leave him, then you will leave without hesitation. ”
Xia Lieyang muttered, "Leave? ”
At night, Xia Lieyang gave me the bed and slept on the ground by himself. I heard him quietly get up and open the door and go out. I suspect he must have gone to see Queen Wuchun's injuries.
I got out of bed and pushed open the door to look out, and in the dimly lit tunnel, only the oil lamp on the wall was on. I had the courage to push the door out, although I sympathized with Xia Lieyang, but I couldn't really stay here with him all the time.
I've already walked through it once last time, and I'm sure I'll be able to get out of it this time. I followed the route I remembered, touched the wall with one hand, and walked slowly out.
I used the old trick, I turned left when I hit a fork in the road, and after walking for a long time, I suddenly felt the wall in my hand tremble, and then heard Xia Lieyang's violent shout: "Mulan, where have you been!" ”
I quicken my pace, and if I don't leave, your other hand will be wasted by you!
I'm listening, yes! It's the sound of water, the sound of water last time I heard! I walked quickly out of the cave to the sound of the water, and saw an underground river flowing.
If you go in the direction of the current, you will be able to get out of the water!
Then I heard Xia Lieyang's long howl, I was startled and ran away. The small rocks on the bank of the underground river hurt my feet, but I didn't care at all, I just wanted to get out of this cave as quickly as possible.
The entrance to the cave is ahead! It's out!
I ran out of the cave and was immediately deflated. The smooth stone wall is more than ten meters high, and I tried it, but I couldn't climb it with one hand. There was a sound of earth-shattering footsteps behind him, and Xia Lieyang's roar was heard: "Mulan, don't go!" Where do you want to go! ”
