Chapter 272: Desert Ballad! Desert rumors!
Hydrangea, the unspoken third flower language, do you remember?
The loyalty of feelings, and the eternity of mutual affection
In the vast darkness, it seemed that there were only two prisons left, and the white moonlight shone softly through the skylight, dyeing the slow-falling snow silver......
The embarrassed figures of the two of them melted into a faint circle of light, which was extremely lonely.
Leaning against the ice wall, her teary eyes were open in the dark, as if she had exhausted her life's strength, her heavy long eyelashes were finally gently covered, and the Qiang flute was guarded in her arms, dead.
He slowly stroked the ice wall, and kept fantasizing in his mind about what she would look like at this moment behind the wall, how much he wanted to touch that cold face, how much he wanted to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth for her, and deal with the wounds on her body, "For the sake of a Qiang flute, let others oppress you, why are you so stupid......"
"White bait, you know what? In the golden cage, I always wonder every day how you and my eldest brother are doing after I leave the prison of the dead slaves. Has Big Brother managed to escape from prison with you...... The eldest brother is excellent in martial arts, and he is also familiar with secret ways, you must have successfully escaped. Every time I think of this, I feel very relieved and down-to-earth, as long as you don't fall into the hands of Movics, the situation will not be too bad. You said that after leaving the prison, you are going to find your fifth sister, and you will take her to the bank of the Qinhuai River to fold spring flowers, I have imagined the pictures you said countless times in my mind, and I think it is really beautiful. I also always pray in my heart, hoping that you will get your wish as soon as possible, and it is best to leave Qinhuai as soon as possible and find a safe place for the time being. But I still have a little selfishness, in fact, I don't want you to go like this, I'm afraid I'll never see you again, I'm afraid I'll never find you again, I'm afraid we'll just meet and end up like this. I can't give up, and I can't bear it. Later, it took me a long time to convince myself that you were gone! This will be the best arrangement for you. Because I know that from that day onwards, everything will be shrouded in an unscrupulous conspiracy, and the entire Qinhuai will undergo earth-shaking changes again. And you, must leave. But I never thought that not only did you not leave, but also appeared in Yuhuatai as a singer! You shouldn't be involved in this troubled world...... They all blame me, blame me for not being able to kill Emperor Mocang with my own hands, which made the whole thing worse......"
When the terrifying scene was aroused again, his heart shrank tighter and tighter, and he was almost squeezed dry. He pursed his lips, couldn't control himself anymore, and let the tears flow wildly.
But he didn't dare to make any sound, not even a slight sound, so he could only forcibly stuff his other fist into his mouth until the bones turned white, and the other hand had already been bitten by him and the flesh was blurred, and it stopped on the cold ground, dripping with blood and emitting a foul smell.
Gradually, a pair of desolate eyes looked aimlessly, like a child with a ragged face looking involuntarily, but there was no innocent happiness on his face, more like a homeless child.
On the diagonally opposite wall, two lone shadows clinged to each other.
"Brother, tomorrow we will be guillotined by the enemy people, I'm afraid ......"
"Sister, don't be afraid, my brother will always be by your side. At the beginning, in front of the Temple of the Heavenly God in Mocang, we said that we would not seek to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to die in the same year and month. Isn't it death? The last thing we Feng Clan people are afraid of is death! β
ββ¦β¦ Brother, I miss Mocang. β
"Come, hold my hand and close your eyes. Brother accompanies you and goes to find Mocang together...... Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, met in the empty space several times. I couldn't bear to put down my pen, and the paper was full of blood and tears......"
"Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, every grass and tree is haggard. It is said that Lingshan is thousands of feet high, and it is difficult to find a red rose. Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, how much love is in the end of the world? I see geese flying south every day, and I don't see that the old people's hearts are broken. β
β¦ β¦
In an instantaneous trance, he seemed to see in them the footprints he had walked and the figures he had left along the way.
"The three of us just broke through the ghost gate, and we can be regarded as brothers from birth to death. This should be what is often sung in the troupe, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year. β
"Bah, what is not dead, the three of us will die, we have to live forever, live until the swifts return, live until the green silk turns into snow, wait at that time, the bamboo fence is built, drink tea and think about the past, morning and twilight!"
He raised his head, looked around at the scene in front of him, and recalled: "Bai Bait, do you remember? This is where you and I reunited. You, me, and the eldest brother are also here to worship. There are so many memories between you and me...... At that time, the fire in the furnace was burning vigorously, at that time, even the snow was amorous, although the days in prison were hard, but there was also a taste, we ate roast chicken together, toasted to the moon together, and when we drank to the fullest, we couldn't help but hum a few little songs. At this time, you always have to laugh at the eldest brother, saying that he is incomplete and insulting. The eldest brother is not convinced, so he has to ask you to say a few words. When you swear to sing, my eldest brother and I are always snickering on the sidelines. You, too, easily fell into the trap of the big brother. He's hoping you can sing it. Because you, you really don't want to speak, and you always feel that you are also a singer who is popular all over Qinhuai, how can you open your mouth casually? Besides, singing in this kind of place will not become a street begging for food and performing on the ground? Maybe there are her admirers in this prison, if he hears it, how will he get mixed up after he gets out of prison? However, you are always lured by the big brother's tricks, of course, there is no lack of my 'credit'. Ehβnow that I'm telling you, don't tell him, or my big brother will blame me in the future......"
His eyes smiled clearly, like stars in the night sky, "You open your voice, and we will stand quietly by the fire, listening to you sing softly, beating you from time to time." Every now and then, we have to get the jailers to make fun of us and call us crazy. yes, we were really crazy at that time. Hey, it's better to be crazy, it's better to be crazy......"
A few sighs, with a faint sadness.
"There, there's our hydrangea, and the unspoken third flower language, do you remember? The eldest brother kept asking, but you never said it, but I understand. If you can do it all over again, would you still be willing to guard that skylight for me and listen to the words 'I'm back!' It sounded in the dark passage beyond the prison...... Then, you will anxiously ask me, how is it today, the group of wind people outside can embarrass me, and I will still shake my head lightly and smile at you. Occasionally, you ask what the weather is like outside the prison, and while I'm still making up my story, you can't help but talk about it......"
"When the golden light is ten thousand wisps, several times the clouds are flipped, and the afterglow becomes a qi in the evening, at this time...... But smell the jade chime. β
"As soon as you say it, the eldest brother can't help but ask in wonder......"
"After looking at the skylight all day, my feelings have seen such a result?"
"Outside the prison is like a year, and I can only count the clouds and listen to the sound of snow!"
"If all this hasn't happened for the time being, you have never been out of prison, and I am still Li Yu, are you, are you still willing to count the clouds for me and listen to the sound of snow?"
He asked over and over again, his voice almost trembling.
However, how could everything not have happened yet, her Li Yu had already been taken away by Mocang Wuji on the night of the escape, he failed to return as promised after all, and the meeting was destined to be far away.
This is the beginning of their nightmare, but it is also a testimony to their most precious experience. In just a few days, the blink of an eye passed, and I never thought that the two of them were in the same place again, and staged a reunion.
It's just that standing opposite her is just the fourth prince of the Mocang royal family, the prince of the Mocang Wind Country, and there is no trace of Mocang!
Time didn't wait for him, it just kept flowing, and he could barely find his former self in his life, the down-and-out boy who had no experience in the world, his innocent smile flickered and flickered, and with tears little by little, his universe was reflected little by little.
"Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, the annual cold star falls. Looking at last year's star in the north, who is the cold star this year? β
"Lingshanwei, Lingshanwei, where is Lingshan without blood? And listen to the sound of pine waves in the middle of the night, telling the merits and sins of yesterday......"
Mo Cang's ballad was still faintly ringing in his ears, and then it became fainter and fainter, and in the vast darkness of the night, only the vague outline of the dead slave prison remained......
His heavy gaze slowly withdrew from the low fence under the ice wall, and leaned against the wall, his tired eyes began to melt into the darkness of the night.
At this moment, the door of the cell, five paces away, suddenly opened.
Vigilance, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the blood in his whole body warmed up for a while.
"Your Highnessβ"
The one who came was a soldier of Lisan.
No, it's a stone stump.
He clenched his fist of chains hanging in the air in his palms, and cautiously got up, watching the wind as he watched his movements, and by the time he reached the cell door, sweat was already profusely profuse on his forehead.
"Your Highness! Shijiao, it's too late! Shi Jian looked at the prince in front of him with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "You-suffered!" β
At this time, there are still people who can think of a way to come here to see him, and Mo Cang Wuxian is very moved.
During the day, those enemy people, facing the Wind Clan, "Wind Slaves" and "Wolf Thieves", scolded one after another, scolding the Wind Clan people to the fullest. As the crown prince of Mocang, he hated himself when he heard it.
That feeling of being discriminated against can really force a person to death, like falling into an abyss, or being torn naked in front of everyone's eyes......
He pursed the corners of his mouth with great relief, and a warm streamer welled up from his eyes. "It's okay......"
He couldn't bear to see the prince suffer like this again, so he immediately took the key from his arms and prepared to release the prince from his imprisonment, but the prince firmly held his hands. "Shi Jiao, everything, how's that?"
The prince finally asked.
The low head didn't dare to raise it, and the answer was stuck in his throat, and it was really hard to say......
The moment he saw Shi Jian shaking his head, Mo Cangwu's whole person instantly froze there, and there was a roar in his head, like countless staggered ice picks blocking there, unable to fill, almost cracking!
His universe seemed to turn into a dark vortex, and he could be swept up in it at any moment......
Shi Jian immediately held the prince's arm and said, "Your Highness, the slaves have already bought off the jailers, and they won't notice anything for a while." You also have a secret road line as a guide, let's go at this time, we will be foolproof! β
He looked at those empty eyes, and his heart began to feel a little anxious.
After a long time, Mo Cang said slowly: "I won't leave." β
"Your Highness! Where there is life, there is hope! You save your life for the time being, and we'll make plans when we go out, okay? Shi Jian persuaded.
He turned his head sideways, his eyes lingering on the distant ice wall for a moment, "I've got my mind, so be it." β
Startled by the voice that was bent on death, Shi Jian suddenly knelt under the prince: "Please let Your Highness go with the slave!" Your Highness, rest assured! As long as there are slaves by your side, everything will inevitably turn around! Slave promises to you! Slaveβ"
"Shi Jian, I'm glad I left you in the East Palace, and I'm also very grateful to you for risking death to save you again and again. But now that I'm nothing, you don't have to call yourself a slave anymore......"
"Shijiao is your slave for one day, and you are your slave for life! No matter what happens, the slave will die with him! Your Highness! Please be very slave and go! β
couldn't bear to hurt the picture, he turned around sadly, calmed down for a long time, and then responded. "Stone Foot! Forgive me for not being able to go with you. β
As soon as he heard this, Shi Jian was suddenly shocked in his heart, and the whole person was completely stunned.
The night is like a stream, annihilating everything.
On the cold ground, a golden mask was condensed with a thin layer of frost and snow.
