Chapter 33: The Mysterious Totem
Bai Fanghua glanced at Lu Qingzi, but seeing that she didn't react, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, this dancing girl, is she not afraid at all?
Bai Fanghua's voice said coldly to the attendant: "Give me ten boards on her right arm, hit hard!" If you dare to be clever, you will be the next to be beaten. ”
How dare the attendant say no, he lifted her Lu Qingzi's sleeves, and there was already a blush as soon as the board went down.
Lu Qingzi gasped in pain, but she couldn't hold back for a while.
Bai Fanghua looked at her frowning when she was beaten, and she still refused to exhale in pain, a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little dancing girl was very enduring, and she still had two backbones.
It's just a pity that he can't see a slave in Bai Fanghua, and he has such a backbone in front of him.
Lu Qingzi stood there, letting the attendant whip the ring ruler his arm.
The attendant hit quickly and ruthlessly, and after the ten boards were finished, Lu Qingzi's arm was already blurred, oozing traces of blood, just looking at it, it already hurt to the bones.
Lu Qingzi's beautiful eyes were already covered with a layer of mist involuntarily in pain, and even her lips were almost bitten and bleeding.
Bai Fanghua looked at her very satisfied, and couldn't help but show an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "Go down!" ”
Lu Qingzi went out of the door, and then couldn't help but exhale bitterly. The blood had already beaded, and then slowly the sleeping arms fell to the ground. She couldn't help but squat down with her arms crossed, and it took a while to straighten up and return to the dance hall. Zhao Yao was already waiting there with Zhou Chuyao, and Lu Qingzi was suddenly taken away by Bai Fanghua, and they knew that it would not be a good thing.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Looking at the scarlet on his arm, Zhao Yao also covered his mouth: "It was an adult?" ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, and Zhao Yao also hurriedly sent someone to call Lang Zhong to come over and give her medicine.
Zhao Yao didn't understand the reason at all, and looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why did the adults beat you?" You didn't make any mistakes. ”
"When I went, Chen Kui was in the house. I guess she said something! Lu Qingzi also told Zhao Yao: "Be careful Chen Kui." ”
Zhou Chuyao looked at Lu Qingzi, such a wound on his arm, it can be seen what kind of pain he has just experienced. But Lu Qingzi can still be so indifferent, no anger, no sadness, what kind of motivation and forbearance is this?
Or, for all of this, she really doesn't care?
But...... Why the hell doesn't she care?
Zhou Chuyao shook her head, these are not what she should think.
Although Lu Qingzi injured his arm, he still insisted on practicing dance with Zhao Yao and others.
And Chen Kui has become more and more proud in the dance hall since Lu Qingzi was educated by Bai Fanghua.
It's just that Zhou Chuyao usually doesn't speak, Lu Qingzi doesn't provoke her, and Zhao Yao is also Bai Fanghua's favorite favorite, so she doesn't dare to do anything head-on, so for a few days like this, she can't find a place to have a seizure for a while.
After about seven or eight strokes, the wound on Lu Qingzi's arm had already scarred, and when the scar fell off, there were a few more ugly scar marks on his arm, which looked very ugly.
That night, Lu Qingzi was looking at and sighing, but Zhou Chuyao suddenly walked in from outside, and was rarely willing to say a few words to her: "Do you want to go to this scar?" I have a solution. “
Lu Qingzi ignited a glimmer of hope: "Can you remove it?"
Zhou Chuyao slowly shook her head and said to her: "Then I can't, it's just that since you think this scar is ugly, just cover up the past!" Why worry about it? ”
When Lu Qingzi heard this, he suddenly realized that this was also a way, so he nodded and asked, "What method can I use to cover up the past?"
Seeing Lu Qingzi ask like this, Zhou Chuyao pulled Lu Qingzi to the bronze mirror, carefully picked up the pen in front of the dressing table, dipped the rouge gouache in front of him, and slowly drew a totem on Lu Qingzi's arm.
The totem wasn't big, and it wasn't very complicated. It is a butterfly bound by heavy chains, still spreading its wings and breaking through the shackles.
Zhou Chuyao's pen was wonderful, this butterfly turned out to be lifelike, and the chain well concealed the scar on Lu Qingzi's hand.
Because of Zhou Chuyao's totem, it suddenly made the arm with scars extremely beautiful.
On the second day, Lu Qingzi came back from practicing dance with this totem, and somehow, she always felt uneasy when she looked at her, as if there was some big secret hidden in the pattern that Zhou Chuyao drew for her.
In the dead of night, Lu Qingzi finally couldn't help but stop Zhou Chuyao, and asked in the depths of the secluded garden: "Is there any meaning to this pattern?" ”
Zhou Chuyao was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Qingzi to find out about this matter so quickly, and hesitated for a moment before replying: "This is the code word of Qingguo's treasure map, which has been lost for a long time. ”
Lu Qingzi couldn't help but be shocked, and then she took a handkerchief and wiped the totem on her hand clean in the moonlight.
Zhou Chuyao looked at her series of actions, and couldn't help but look at her thoughtfully and asked, "Aren't you tempted?" As long as you decipher the meaning of this totem, you can find the treasure of Qingguo, and you don't have to continue to live here like a plaything. ”
Lu Qingzi shook her head firmly, she knew what she was going to do, this thing would only bring disaster to her.
She looked at Zhou Chuyao and said: "No matter what your purpose is, but you must not let others know about this totem, otherwise it may lead to death, tonight, I have never heard of it, and you have never told me about it, how about it?"
Zhou Chuyao didn't speak, and after a while, he replied: "Okay."
Under a big tree not far away, Chen Kui stood in the dark, already listening to all the words of the two.
The next day, Bai Fanghua held a banquet in the mansion, and Zhao Yao also waited for the dance to appear in the hall as entertainment.
Everyone stared at the four wonderful beauties in the hall, and Lu Qingzi quickly found the figure of the fourth prince in the crowd, but there was a strange man beside him, and she did not have the shadow of Wen Ye.
The sound of musical instruments sounded, and the long sleeves danced, and inadvertently Lu Qingzi glanced at Chen Kui's hand, which turned out to be the totem drawn by Zhou Chuyao that day.
How did it end up in her hands?
Is it Zhou Chuyao? Could it be that Zhou Chuyao painted it for Chen Kui? No. Zhou Chuyao had obviously said that it would be confidential, how could he tell the unpleasant Chen Kui such a confidential matter?
After the song, the four of them finally slowly left the stage.
The man sitting next to the four princes whispered to Sun Hanmo: "Your Royal Highness, among the few people who just went down, one of them seems to have a totem tattooed on the treasure map of Qingguo.......
