Chapter 54: The Ancestral Sarcophagus
Jiang Xue lowered her head, and the sea green silk slipped down, covering her delicate face, and sat down lightly on the washed smooth boulder, silent for a long time.
Wang Lung did not urge, and waited quietly.
"I'm from the Zhang family...... "Jiang Xue said suddenly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her long eyelashes shook slightly, as if she was struggling with her inner self.
Wang Lung must have known in his heart that she had let go of some knots, and some of his previous guesses had also been confirmed.
"My biological father is a powerful figure in the Zhang family, but my mother is a very humble person, not even from Longcheng, I met my father when he went out, and the two of them attracted each other, and soon walked together. Later, my mother had me, but my father returned to Dragon City. Afterward...... Later, my father had a new wife, the so-called 'door' couple, and even they had their own children. β
"And my mother was so forgotten by my father that he didn't even bring a message......"
Wang Lung sighed lightly, this story is not very profound, it can be said that the world is so big that it happens every day, but when it comes out of Jiang Xue's mouth, it is a little more desolate.
"My mother is becoming more and more 'radical' in the 'day' and 'intense' resentment, and she ...... me It's very strict, although I think my talent is good, but I am always scolded and reprimanded by my mother. Later, she sent me to Dragon City for the sole purpose of taking revenge on my father, for the 'daughter' he later married, and the children they bore. She wants me to defeat them all, and finally even my father, and then take him before her and repent of his sins......"
"That's the value of my existence...... That's what my mother told me. β
After saying that, the two fell silent for a while.
Jiang Xue sneered suddenly: "Isn't it boring, what a clichΓ© story, but I, who am in it, have put my life's fate in it." β
"The value of my life is to help my mother harm my father......"
"No!" Wang Long suddenly stopped her words and stood up suddenly: "Of course this is not your value, why can't you see your own strength, your own choice? Not to mention your life, just in the matter of your parents, you are not the only one to go." β
"What happened to your parents back then? Why did your father abandon your mother, did he have anything unspeakable? Even if he was so ruthless, was it the right choice to ruin his family? Will your mother really be happy when she sees this?"
Jiang Xue was stunned when she heard this, and she never seemed to have thought of this.
"You've been disciplined by your strict mother since you were a child, and you've developed a centered idea that you can make your own choices and actions. If you don't have enough alone, I can help you ......" Wang Lung looked into Jiang Xue's eyes and said sincerely.
Jiang Xue slowly lowered her head: "I...... I never thought about it......"
Wang Lung smiled: "It's not too late to start thinking now. β
The corners of Jiang Xue's mouth raised slightly, and she smiled with a hint of relief, and glanced up at Wang Long: "Thank you, maybe you are right, I ...... It's time to think more about yourself. β
Wang Lung saw her raise her head, her face like 'jade' was even more radiant under the moonlight, her slightly 'excited' cheeks were mixed with a hint of red glow, her starry eyes were shining, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Just had such an idea, but when she saw that Jiang Xueqiao's face immediately turned red, she lowered her head shyly and said, "You...... You're thinking about something bad again. β
Wang Lung was stunned, knowing that as a child of the Zhang family, her perception was far beyond ordinary people, and she actually discovered her own thoughts, but at this moment she lowered her head so much, her pretty face was dizzy, and this shy and ownerless beauty made him even more compassionate, where could he still endure it, gently lowered his head, and 'kissed' on her cheek.
"You!" Jiang Xue trembled, as if she was electrocuted, and immediately retreated, her face was full of red glow, like a delicate 'flower' blooming, swaggering under the moon' color.
Wang Lung was moved by the warmth and sweetness of Shicai, Jiang Xue's cheeks were soft and delicate, like silk, which made him feel like he had never had before, and his heart was pounding.
"If you do this again, I'...... I ...... "Jiangxue has never encountered such a thing, and she is shy and a little angry for a while, but she doesn't know what to do."
Seeing her so flustered, Wang Lung couldn't bear to continue teasing her, and hurriedly chuckled: "Shicai can't help it for a while, please ask Miss Jiangxue to atone for her sins." β
The flush on Jiang Xue's face did not subside, but she didn't know how to answer, so she snorted softly in anger, turned her head, and looked at the stream that had accumulated under the waterfall.
Seeing this, Wang Lung also stepped forward, stood still beside Jiangxue's shoulder, and looked at the stream with her, the moon was reflected in it, and the shadows were full of shadows, and the sparkling 'waves' kept flickering, as if they were two young hearts that had just opened their hearts.
The second 'day' is already the season of the three poles on the 'day', but this valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it is quite 'over' dark, and only then does the sun shine in and appear bright.
Jiang Xue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, but suddenly felt a breathing sound beside her, and couldn't help but feel a big shock in her heart, and hurriedly turned her head to look.
only to find that Wang Lung was sleeping soundly with his back against a boulder, and he was ...... It turned out to be leaning on his shoulder and slept all night.
Jiang Xue's face suddenly turned red, and she was secretly ashamed in her heart, when was it...... And I actually slept so soundly and was so relieved, could it be ......
There was a flustered 'confusion' in her heart, but there was a hint of sweetness, no matter what, it is always a happy thing to have a shoulder to lean on.
Jiang Xue let out an imperceptible smile and stood up gently, but still glanced at Wang Lung who was sleeping.
The latter was still snoring, but suddenly the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a smile, obviously he had woken up, Jiang Xue remembered what happened last night, ashamed and angry, and turned his head away.
Wang Lung deliberately yawned, stretched his waist happily before standing up, and said loudly: "It's been a long time since you slept so comfortably, Miss Jiangxue, I don't know if you slept well last night?"
Although Jiang Xue turned her back to Wang Lung, her ears unconsciously turned red, and even the neck with that section of 'exposed' was a little pink, and she snorted softly in response.
At this moment, the mountain shook for a while, and the violent shaking caused the entire mountain 'cave' to collapse large and small stones, dust and smoke everywhere, and the sound of rumbling was endless.
The sudden shock came and went as fast as it came, but it came to an abrupt halt in a few dozen breaths.
Wang Lung didn't have time to pat the dust all over his body, and he was worried about whether Jiangxue was safe for the first time.
When the dust landed, a Qianying was standing on the road when she came, her face was solemn and her eyebrows were frowning, Wang Lung looked at it carefully, and wanted to ask if she was injured, but she was the first to speak.
"This movement seems to be coming from the mouth of the 'cave', I remember that it happens to be where the sarcophagus of the ancestor of the snake clan is, it is very strange there!"
