Chapter 52: The Truth Revealed
It's out, it's out. After digging deep for a long time, there was a sound of excitement in the cave.
Nian Xiaojiao stepped forward with her left foot, her expression was moved, and her hands were pulled into fists, hanging tightly at her sides. Suddenly, his eyebrows were lowered, his expression was lonely, and he withdrew his left foot. After waiting for so long, there is finally a result, but I am timid again.
In the cave, there was the sound of Suosuo's footsteps, and Nian Xiaojiao looked forward to it. The miscellaneous men used wood as a frame and a mat as a board to carry the people out of the cave. The autumn wind was sluggish, and the people who were carried out were arranged in a row on top of the dead branches and leaves.
Watching the miscellaneous men go in and out, Nian Xiaojiao silently counted in her heart: one, two, three, four
She stared at the door of the cave and watched the mermaids rush out. Walking in the shadow of the blade at the end of the crowd, I saw Nian Xiaojiao standing there like a statue, her brows furrowed, looking forward to it. Chong Qi shook his head gently, and read Xiaojiao's breath held in his heart, and spit it out slightly, but his heart was still tense.
Four people, four people covered in ashes, four people who were dead and lying on dead branches and leaves. reminded her that something really happened, no accident or man-made, and no one was really gone.
Although they were covered by a thick layer of dust, it could still be seen that two of them had gray hair and some clumsy bodies; One is in the prime of life, and he is the younger brother of the man who weeps and grabs the earth; There was also a child who looked like a teenager and his life ended before it even began. If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would want to do this blasting work that has no Ming Dynasty today.
Everything comes from poverty.
There were tears swirling in her eyes, Nian Xiaojiao raised her head and endured it, and the wind passed without a trace.
"One hundred taels of gold for one person, a thick burial."
"Each person involved in the rescue has five taels of gold"
The voice was loud, revealing a hoarse and stubborn voice.
After speaking, Nian Xiaojiao couldn't bear to look at the deceased, she was afraid, and when she looked at the sad deceased again, she couldn't help crying. Turning his head, he walked towards the Snow Palace.
There was angry scolding and crying behind her, but she didn't hear it.
Blade Shadow felt that Nian Xiaojiao's steps were a little staggering, and her back was a little sluggish. I almost fell down after taking a few steps, but fortunately Qingxin was on the side, his eyes were quick, and he was about to fall Nian Xiaojiao, Qingxin felt that his body was fluttering like catkins, as if he would fall down again at any time.
After stopping for a long time, his body was already frozen and stiff, and his legs were no longer obedient. Nian Xiaojiao straightened her back, she couldn't fall, she couldn't let these people die.
This revenge will be avenged.
Hundreds of taels of gold, bought by the noisy crowd outside, bought a few lives of the poor people, but could not hide Nian Xiaojiao's guilt.
You can't extinguish humanity.
For two days in a row, Nian Xiaojiao shrank in the room without saying a word, not eating or drinking, what was the food sent by Qing Gardenia, and what was it like when it was served? The only change was from bubbling hot to icy cold. Qing Yu stood outside the door, sighing.
On the third day, Nian Xiaojiao took the initiative to open the door. Qing Yu, who had been standing outside the door, almost fell and chewed.
"Sister, you're out." Qing Yu's body kept shaking, and it was not easy to hold Nian Xiaojiao's arm before he could barely stand still.
"Prepare water, bathe and change clothes." Nian Xiaojiao lowered her eyes, she couldn't see her emotions, her voice seemed to come from hell, she was so hoarse that she couldn't hear her original face.
Qing Yu felt that the cheerful sister in the past seemed to be a little different. For the thick-lined Qing Gardenia, Nian Xiaojiao's willingness to speak and go out is good news, no matter what else.
She smiled: "Deler! Sister, I'll go and prepare. ”
Qing Yu walked briskly, hummed a little tune, and trotted towards the kitchen.
With the assistance of the Hanyu faction, a bathtub was quickly prepared in Nian Xiaojiao's room. It was full, and most of the half-bucket of water was steaming, covering the whole room with a thin veil.
Qing Yu retreated for Nian Xiaojiao. The brocade fabric is as silky as silky, and the white shoulders of Zinian Xiaojiao slide down, revealing the skin that eclipses the world inch by inch.
Nian Xiaojiaoyu's feet were round, and she gently lifted it and stepped into the bathtub. The white mist wraps the soft feet and the tight calves, revealing beauty everywhere.
At the entrance to the water, there are bursts of splashes and ripples. Qing Gardenia held a scoop made of gourd gourd dried in his hand, scooped hot water and poured Nian Xiaojiao's shoulders and the beautiful curves in front of him. If a man sees such a scene. Bound to be bloody.
"I haven't eaten for two days, and my sister's body has lost weight again, and I see that you have no meat on your shoulders." Qing Yu scooped a scoop of water and poured it on Nian Xiaojiao's clavicle fossa.
It was slightly hollow, like a small container for water. The jade body is a vessel, the water is also wine, the beauty is in front, the wine is not intoxicating, and the person is drunk.
Nian Xiaojiao put her hand behind her ear and gently lifted the peach blossom mask, revealing the beautiful face of the prosperous world that made women jealous. Every movement is like a beautiful roll.
"My sister is so beautiful, Qing Yu has never seen anyone more beautiful than her sister. If I were a man, I would be fascinated by my sister, and I would pursue my sister every day. ”
"You little girl, you have a sweet mouth, how can my sister be as beautiful as you say."
"No matter what, my sister is the most beautiful in the world."
Nian Xiaojiao's frowning brows gradually smoothed out. The corners of the mouth are slightly raised. As a woman. It's always nice to hear others compliment yourself on your beauty.
"My sister is laughing, I'm about to be anxious about my sister these days." Qing Yu's hand scooping water became more cheerful, and the water droplets went up and down, jubilant, jumping, forming pearls that shone like pearls on Nian Xiaojiao's white and tender skin.
Nian Xiaojiao took a comfortable hot bath and finally regained a little spirit. She was dressed in a light blue shirt. The hair is tied up in a bun and stands on top of the head. He also did not wear elaborate headdresses. Tie your hair in a bun with a tie of the same colour only. The hairband flew up and down as Nian Xiaojiao moved. Adds some flutteriness, some romance to its owner.
There is a woman who is as white as the moon,
The headband is a bun and a breeze.
The lotus step is born in the illusion,
Smile back and bewitch all beings.
"Qing Gardenia still remembers what day it is." Nian Xiaojiao stroked her cheek with her hand, and she put on a peach blossom mask again, hiding her jealous face again.
"Qing Yu only knows that today is a good day for my sister to walk out of the room again."
"Blind and poor, the five-day period has arrived, today is the day of the appointment of Lisi City and the Chengdong Temple."
Nian Xiaojiao ate some porridge prepared by Qingxin. The churning stomach was comforted a little, and the spirit was better.
"Call the Blade Shadow, let's go."
Listening to the heavy stone door of the Snow Palace slowly open, the dazzling sunlight shone on Nian Xiaojiao's slightly pale face. Nian Xiaojiao raised her arm, blocking it in front of her, and slowly adapted to the sunlight outside before putting down her hand.
The group traveled all the way to the east and galloped for hundreds of miles before arriving at the Chengdong Temple in Lisi City.
It was a relatively deserted temple, although there were no other temples nearby, but because of the vast and sparsely populated area, there was no incense. The vermilion cornices have faded to a dark red, and the rust is mottled. The fallen leaves on the ground were also uncleaned, and they were yellow, layer upon layer, showing the decay here.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, a small water tank in the corner of the courtyard used to be planted with water lilies. Now there was only a withered root, floating in the water, mixed with dark green moss, lifeless.
Here, it is a sign that it has not been taken care of for a long time, and this is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time.
"The eldest niece, it can be regarded as a long wait for the old man to come."
In the temple lobby, a Maitreya Buddha. In front of the Buddha, a dilapidated futon, on the futon, there was a big man kneeling, with his back to the door, and he couldn't see his face clearly. There was no one else around but this person, and the person who spoke up was probably him.
"Senior, in the next reading Xiaojiao, dare to ask the senior's surname?" Nian Xiaojiao stared closely at the person kneeling in front of her, she was looking forward to knowing her life experience as soon as possible, but she was afraid that it would just be a bamboo basket for nothing. This person's identity is unknown, and I don't know if he can really solve the mystery of his origins.
The prostrate slowly stood up and turned around. It was a very majestic face, tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and broad eyes. The face shape is slightly Chinese, with the majesty of the superior. This is an old acquaintance, and he used to have a noodle relationship in Tuoshan.
Jin Yuan Min, the overlord of the Jin Liao State, the current ruler, Emperor Min.
"It's you?" Nian Xiaojiao was very surprised.
"Xiaojiao, you are really similar to your aunt. My sister died hard and died early, but fortunately, you survived in the world, giving us some thoughts for our living relatives. "Emperor Min's words are sincere, his feelings are sincere, and Nian Xiaojiao can't tell the truth or falsehood.
"I can't listen to your one-sided words, you say it's my uncle, how can I prove it." Nian Xiaojiao, cheered up twelve points, listened to Emperor Min's words, and didn't want to miss a single thing.
"Look at this." Emperor Min took out a bright yellow scroll.
Nian Xiaojiao's inquiring eyes looked at Emperor Min.
"Take a look." Emperor Min handed her the scroll.
She took the scroll questioningly, opened it and looked at it, her expression frozen.
"What is written? Sister. Qing Yu couldn't help but ask on the side.
looked at Nian Xiaojiao, who was already stunned. Blade Shadow took the scroll in Nian Xiaojiao's hand, and was also shocked by the words on the scroll, this is the edict of the concubine of the former emperor of Cangyang Kingdom.
Then Emperor Min spoke leisurely: "I have a younger sister named Jin Yuancheng. More than 20 years ago, she was a famous talented woman in the rivers and lakes, one of the three beauties, and she was too famous. It was designated by the emperor of Cangyang State to be included in the palace, and the dragon was petted, and it was once passed down as a good story, and then there was you. As fate would have it, the throne was taken away, and your father and mother disappeared from the world. After so many years, I never thought that there would be your only seedling alive in the world. Providence, would you like to go back to Jinliao with me? ”
"My mother is the princess of Jin Liaoguo? My father was the former emperor of the Cangyang Kingdom? Am I the victim of the change of throne? ”
"Xiaojiao, with me in the future, no one can bully you anymore." Min Huang Road.
Nian Xiaojiao closed her eyes deeply, and she thought of the dream of that day: in the courtyard of the deep palace, the solemn man who fell to the ground with an arrow feather in his body, and the woman who stood on the back of the squirt and had a similar appearance to herself.
It turned out that it wasn't a dream, it was my father and mother, my father and mother who had never met.
