Chapter 9 The Despondent Daughter Meets in the Rain
She put down the hands that were holding the stranger and ran frantically on the way to Baifu.
Qian Qian didn't believe it, she didn't believe that her father and mother were gone like this! There were more than 100 slaves and maids up and down the White Mansion, and there were soldiers patrolling by each gate, why didn't anyone find that there was a fire? How could no one come out to put out the fire?! Until she gasped and sat down on the side of the ruins.
Surrounded by refugees affected by the fire, countless adults and children, sad and painful, some comforted, some picked up the bodies of their loved ones in the rubble.
"Girl, don't be sad and mourn and change!" A lame old man walked over, patted Qian Qian on the shoulder, and slowly walked to other places, calling out the name of his seven-year-old grandson in a hoarse voice.
For this old man, the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man is even more heart-wrenching and desperate.
It was getting late, twilight was falling, and everything was immersed in a deep sadness, frustrated in this terrible ruin.
Qian Qian understands that this fire is by no means an accidental disaster, and someone must be secretly framing her! Otherwise, how could there be only a few people alive in the Baifu, Daddy has been on the battlefield for a long time, what conspiracy and conspiracy have not been seen, how can a fire not escape!
And Ling Xiao's men and horses are still searching in the White Mansion, and there are also soldiers of the Great Prince who are also constantly searching for the ruins.
Qian Qian also kept picking up pieces on the ruins, "Dad! Mother! Father! Mother..."
shouted again and again, but no response was received, the father and mother and daughter failed to protect you, and the daughter is sorry for you.
Suddenly, two soldiers carried a body covered with a white cloth, and they carried the body to a man with a fierce expression, and the sudden wind of the night blew the man's black cloak and rattled, and the light of the fire reflected his thin but resolute face.
Coriander took a closer look and it turned out to be the eldest prince, was he ordered to come to the rescue?
He crouched down, lifted a little bit of the white cloth from the body, and said a brief word to the two soldiers under him.
Coriander was too far away from them to hear what they were saying, only to see two of his soldiers nod and leave.
Countless corpses were laid sideways and covered with white cloths, and there seemed to be a bleak and eerie aura in the air.
Suddenly there was a thunder and lightning, and the wind blew even more rapidly, and everyone began to flee in a hurry.
As soon as Qian Qian looked up, the raindrops fell into her eyes, and at this moment, her tears continued to fall along with the rain, and the helplessness, loneliness and despair of losing her parents and home welled up in her heart, and at that moment she completely collapsed.
Then came the storm without a hint of emotion.
"Coriander! Coriander! ……”
She seemed to hear Ling Xiao's screams.
"Ling Xiao... Brother..."
"Coriander!" The voice was getting closer and closer, and she stood up and prepared to run in the direction of the sound source, and at this moment, it seemed that only Ling Xiao could make her grasp the last attachment to life and the only warmth she could rely on.
However, she stepped on the severed plank, the sharp creases scratched her calves, and the blood, rain, and mud mixed together with the pain and made it difficult to breathe.
When she lifted her injured leg with all her might, she found that there was a burnt waist plaque on the board, half of which was engraved with "Han" and the other half burned.
The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty will carry the waist card engraved with the name of the master, especially the subordinates of the prince in the palace, in order to enter and exit the palace conveniently, they all have a specific waist card.
Only the soldiers of the Three Princes bring this! Sure enough, it's Wei Xinghan!
Qian Qian put this waist card in her arms, which was the evidence that his third prince sent troops to commit crimes in the future.
In the early years, I heard that the third prince had been working against Baifu, but I didn't expect him to be ruthless next time and kill their entire family.
Wei Xinghan! Wei Xinghan! My Bai family and you don't share the same power!
And Ling Xiao's voice calling for Qian Qian was getting closer and closer, and Qian Qian was tormented by pain and exhaustion at this time.
"Brother Ling Xiao..."Qian Qian shouted weakly, it was too painful, this moment was too painful.
And the voice grew farther and farther away...
Daddy, where are you? Brother Lingxiao, where are you? Don't leave me, okay?
"Lord Wang, you've been looking for a whole day, it's getting late now and the rain is heavy, leave the rest to us!"
"Keep looking!" Ling Xiao looked at the ruins, suddenly he thought of something, his eyes were full of anger, and he turned around and got on his horse and left.
The disaster is inevitable, the resentment is deep, and the sorrow of Qian Qian is like this downpour, constantly falling, constantly impacting the remains of the fire.
Blood from the wounds kept pouring out, and the soldiers who had been searching for the bones on the wreckage during the day had withdrawn and were ready to continue the search tomorrow.
When Qian Qian endured the pain and went to the Ling Mansion, the people guarding the door did not recognize this woman in tattered clothes and blood on her legs as the eldest lady of the White Mansion.
"Is Ling Xiao here?" In the heavy rain, Qian Qian walked to the door of the Ling Mansion and grabbed the gatekeeper and asked.
"Is the prince of our family a name that you can call casually? Go away, go away! Absence! The servant guarding the door looked the depressed Qian up and down, and shook his hand at her in annoyance.
Now I am really alone, and for the first time, I feel that the world is so big but there is no place to stay.
"Please tell Lingxiao Wangye, Baifu, Bai Qianqian, and ask to see"
"Girl, are you stupid? As far as you dare to say that you are the daughter of Baifu, you probably don't know that there was a fire in Baifu last night, and even if it is a daughter, I am afraid that she has died in Huangquan. Who knows where you are the woman who fled from the desert? ”
It just so happened that the manservant guarding the door had just come to Lingfu, and he had a sense of pride, whether it was his tone or expression, he had undisguised ridicule, and he also had a sense of confidence in exposing the lie, feeling that the woman in front of him was really ignorant.
"Please tell Lingxiao Prince, Bai Mansion, Bai Qianqian, and ask to see him!" Coriander pleaded with the doorkeeper again, this time she was pushed to the ground, and her whole body fell into the mud, the rain had soaked her clothes, and the red at the hem of her skirt was flooded by the rain, and in the heavy rain, Qian Qian could not open her eyes.
"I said that the prince went on a business trip, not here! Why don't you listen to people?! After that, he patted his clothes that had just been soiled by this woman.
The red lanterns hanging on the door of the house swayed with the wind and rain, and the bitter wind and rain howled in the cold night.
Qian Qian slowly stood up, it was so embarrassing not to let Ling Xiao see it, it was really ridiculous to think about it.
Although she was soaking wet, Qian Qian did not want to hide from the rain, but felt that the rain might wash away her grief, and she was in a trance and didn't know where to go, and unconsciously walked back to Baifu, the barren ruins.
At the main entrance of the original White Mansion, Qian Qian stopped, and kept standing there to let the rain erode, not feeling the cold and biting bones of the cold wind, and the tears and rain were mixed together.
It's just that the rain above her head suddenly stopped, and the sound of the rain hitting her body became the sound of her "da-da-da" on the oil-paper umbrella.
She looked up, and in her blurred vision was a white umbrella, and when she turned her head, she saw Yunqi's gentle eyes.
Looking at each other, Qian Qian's eyes were wet, slightly red and swollen, Yun Qi could feel all the pain and helplessness in those eyes, and at that moment Yun Qi's heart also rose with a kind of pity and unbearable, but he never showed it.
"Why do you like it so much and don't say goodbye?"
"You... How is it here? ”
"I didn't say I wanted to accept your jade pendant" Yun Qi took out the jade pendant and handed it to Qian Qian.
Qian Qian took it slowly, and easily transferred this white jade to Yunqi before leaving, but she didn't expect that this white jade has now become the only intact remnant of the White Mansion.
"Let's go!"
Yunqi was about to leave with Qianqian, but Qianqian stood still at all.
He saw the blood stains on the hem of her skirt and understood one or two.
"Take it!" Yunqi said to Qian Qian in an irresistible commanding tone.
Qian Qian was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to catch the handle of the umbrella, she was actually picked up by a pair of powerful big hands, out of instinct, she stretched out the hand that grabbed the Baifu jade pendant and circled Yunqi's neck, "Put..."
"Don't move!" (Note: 芫茜 yuan xi )
"Myself... You can go..."Hearing Yunqi's tone with an order that could not be disobeyed, Qian Qian buried her head in Yunqi's arms and said in a hoarse voice.
"If you're not afraid to drag me back, you can walk by yourself!"
Qian Qian stopped talking, and now that the Bai family has fallen, she has lost her father, Xiaoqing and herself.
Without the identity of the daughter of the Bai family, she is nothing, helpless, she can only rely on herself in the future, and the despair in her heart is like a vast ocean when she thinks of this.
What is the point of living after losing all your loved ones? What's the point?
No! It must be my father's will that I am still alive, they were all unjustly killed! My father and mother have a kind heart all my life, especially my father, as the founding general, how can he leave without leaving a word? How can these murderers be so vicious, it's simply a conscience annihilation! If she Bai Qian is still alive one day, the grievances and anger in her heart cannot be forgotten! She must make the blood debt of the people who hurt his whole family pay for it!
In the future, she will only live for revenge, and she must find the enemy who killed the Bai family.
It's just that she didn't expect that when she was on the line of life and death, Yunqi didn't see Ling Xiao but Yunqi saved him, I really don't know whether to feel sad or lucky.
Now that the Bai family is in ruins, she is homeless, but it is still this unidentified Yunqi who gives her a place to stay.
Except for knowing that his name is Yunqi, he is hidden in the Luohua Mountains, and he has excellent medical skills, and nothing else is known.
But Coriander believed him now. Perhaps the only thing you can rely on on this rainy night is the clouds.
Yunqi looked repaired, but when he was held in his arms, it made Qian Qian feel so strong and powerful, which inexplicably made her feel at ease, but at this time, her body was too weak, and she was close to a coma several times.
I don't know how long he has been carried like this, he can feel the rising and falling chest, and the little bit of body temperature, through the thin clothes, wrapped around her.
