Chapter 31: Memories Are Cruel
Chapter 31: Memories Are Cruel
"Little girl, it looks like you're almost recovered." Elder Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and walked towards Xi Shuang with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder, for saving your life!" Xi Shuang knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan waved his hand, sat down casually on the chair, and took a sip of the tea on the table, "Get up, don't kneel without moving." ”
Xi nodded with tears in her eyes, and stood up with her skirt in her arms, to be honest, her spirit has been tense these days, and she still has lingering palpitations about the events of that day. The indifferent thousand-year-old ice and the cynicism of the people around her made her breathless. Although Xi Shuang knew that his birth was inherently unpopular, and he was originally superfluous, it was still a little difficult to really accept this fact.
"Tell me, girl, how did you fall off a cliff? Where do you live? Qing Yuan looked at Xi Shuang with concern, this girl's eyes were as clear as a lake, but they were covered with mist, there must be some unknown secret.
Xi Shuang was silent, lowered his eyes, tears swirled in his eyes, and the frost flowers on his forehead shone faintly. The pain of not being able to return home came to her heart, but she couldn't go back, and she couldn't even let her family know that she was still alive, and she couldn't let others know her true identity, because one more person knew about her family, and it would be more dangerous. Nowadays, silence is the best answer.
Qing Yuan saw Xi Shuang's mind and saw the faint light on her forehead, sure enough, this little girl must have some secrets, he Qing Yuan is a person who likes secrets the most, but she won't force him if she doesn't say it. Qing Yuan took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Is it difficult to return home?" Xi Shuang raised his head, stunned, and met Qing Yuan's eyes, his bottomless eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Xi Shuang had no choice but to nod.
confirmed his guess, Qing Yuan couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart, how could he not be a person who had no home to return to? But everything is helpless, and the same disease is sympathetic. Qing Yuan drank all the tea in his hand in one gulp and poured another cup. "I'll take you as an apprentice, and you can stay in Tanyun Mountain." Qing Yuan looked at the fine mutton fat jade pendant on Xishuang's waist, took a sip of tea, presumably this girl is not very human, and said lightly, "But the living conditions are ......."
Before Qingyuan finished speaking, Xi Shuang hurriedly thanked him, "Xi Shuang thanks Master for the grace of reconstruction, great kindness, Xi Shuang will never forget it in this life!" Suddenly, Xi Shuang covered her mouth, her face was a little ugly, she wanted to be incognito, but she just said her name in excitement, this is bad!
Qing Yuan pretended not to hear her name, but silently recited a few times in his heart, "Since you have joined my Tanling Sect, you have to take another name." Qing Yuan took a sip of tea and secretly observed Xi Shuang's expression.
Xi Shuang just nodded solemnly, after following the name for so many years, how can it be lost overnight, although he knows that it is imperative, but Xi Shuang is still a little reluctant.
"Master?" Leng Mo walked in with the food, for so many days, he has been the one who has been delivering food to Xi Shuang, but he has been silent, and Xi Shuang doesn't even know how his name is written.
"Xiao Mo." Qing Yuan stood up, took the food in Leng Mo's hand and put it on the table, and pulled him to the chair to sit down with a concerned face. How it feels like I care about a patient. Xi Shuang shook his head, looking at Leng Mo's normal face, he should have been too worried.
"Xiao Mo, this is your junior sister." Qing Yuan pointed at Xi Shuang, was speechless for a while, and touched the bridge of his nose, he hadn't thought about what name to give Xi Shuang, so he had to bite the bullet, "Shuang'er, this is your senior brother Leng Mo, silent Mo, you will be called Leng Shuang in the future!" "Xi Shuang's head is full of black lines, this is the so-called new name? Isn't it just a change of surname? In fact, this surname is not casually placed on their heads, this is the family surname of Elder Qingyuan, the surname of the Ling clan. It's just that almost no one knows the name of Elder Qing Yuan, and no one will connect the inconspicuous Leng Mo surname with the surname of the Spirit Clan, everyone is the same as Xi Shuang, thinking that Qing Yuan gave him this name because he saw his cold temperament, but in fact, this Leng Mo is not indifferent.
"Hello senior brother." Xi Shuang bowed, looked Leng Mo up and down, in front of the master, he still had a straight face, as cold as frost.
"Okay, the teacher is gone, you have to support each other!" Qing Yuan took out two Heart Sutras from his sleeves and threw them into Xi Shuang's arms, "Study them carefully." After a few words, he turned to leave, but as if he thought of something, he turned around and came back, and pulled out the jade pendant on Xishuang's waist, "Keep it for you." And he walked away again. Xi was dumbfounded, and Leng Mo seemed to be surprised, and he also got up to leave. When Qing Yuan first saw the treasure jade on Xishuang's waist, he felt that this thing might be a status symbol in a sense, and in this case, it might lead to death. Now that Xi Shuangshang is powerless, it is better to wait for her to have the ability to protect herself before handing it over to her to report.
Xi Shuang looked at the emptiness on his waist, as if he saw the kind smile of Xi's father and mother, which made her nose sour, and then looked at the two Heart Sutras in her arms, and suddenly remembered the secret book of the Phoenix Shadow Twin Swords, and remembered the days of practicing martial arts with Xi Jue. Xi Shuang rolled up his sleeves, and the scars on his arms had disappeared without a trace, but memories could not disappear without a trace like scars. Sometimes, she hopes that the scar can always remain, at least touching it, just like stroking Xi Jue and stroking the beauty of the past. The white-clothed Shengxue also saved himself again and again, the temperature of his hand, the shyness of being kissed by him, as if it was yesterday. The touch of Tsing Yi is elegant, and the faint smell of medicine also caused Xi Shuang to have angina. There is also Feng Huanrong, Xi Shuang remembered his childishness and difficulty, and he could even laugh, it was just a bitter laugh with tears.
But now, she is no longer Xi Shuang, Xi Shuang is dead, and now she is Leng Shuang. Xi Shuang's eyes gradually blurred, tears slipped down like beads of broken threads, and Xi Shuang covered his mouth and tried not to let himself cry.
In fact, Xi Shuang was far more than the one who was tormented by memories.
Xifu, a piece of white.
The sound of porcelain being broken could be heard in the distance, and the sharp and piercing sound coupled with Xi Jue's roar made people shudder. "You lied to me!! You lied to me!! Xi Jue flipped the table like crazy, and the tea set fell to the ground. The maids trembled tremblingly, standing at the door, no one dared to step forward, just sent away a maid who was smashed on the head by Xi Jue, that is called a head broken blood. "Neither of them is dead!! Neither of them will die!! Tell me quickly!! Xi Jue grabbed the collar of a small guy, and the little guy was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, "Less...... Young Master's Day mourning. ”
"Roll !!" Xi Jue kicked away the little maid who was kneeling on the ground, and the little maid was so frightened that he was so frightened that he crawled away from this place, and the other maids didn't get Xi Jue's permission, and they didn't dare to move when they thought of it, and they all turned pale.
"Rebel!" Father Xi endured his grief and pushed Xi Jue onto the bed, turned his back to him, and held back tears.
"Jue'er." Xi Mu ran in crying, helped Xi Jue up, and held her in her arms. Xi Jue's face was covered with tears, and there were blood stains, when he just dropped the porcelain bottle, he flew up and scraped his face, and his hand was also cut out of blood by the broken porcelain, but the heartache was far greater than the physical pain, and he planned to mention the matter of marrying Xi Shuang to his father and mother as soon as he got home!
"Mother~" Xi Jue snuggled in Xi's mother's arms, like a deflated ball, "Shuangshuang, are you really dead?" Xi Jue wanted to hear a negative answer, although he knew that if it wasn't for Xi Shuang's life, they might have seen the king of Hades a long time ago, how could they return to Xi Mansion.
"Hmm." Xi Mu nodded heavily, tears kept pouring out, she pretended to be calm and patted Xi Jue's shoulder. Everyone tacitly did not tell Xi Yue about Xi Shuang's death, after all, Xi Yue is not alone now, and she still has a small life in her belly. Xi Shuang and Xi Yue have had a good relationship since childhood, if Xi Yue knows the news, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it! Feng Huanyu carried all the heaviness alone, and Chu Xuan was also very sad, after all, Xi Shuang was his apprentice! Feng Huanyu blocked the news, and everyone endured their sadness in front of Xi Yue and squeezed out a smile. Xi Yue was happy for several days after receiving a letter from Xi's father and learning that they had arrived safely, if she knew that Xi Shuang was dead...... Feng Huanyu didn't dare to think about it at all.
After Feng Huanrong received the news of the death of his little daughter-in-law, he was stunned and starved himself for a day and a night, locked himself in the palace, and closed himself up. After packing up his emotions, Feng Huanrong left the palace, and the sudden bad news made Feng Huanrong really breathless, he decided to travel all over the world, and at the same time, there might be news of Xi Shuang. After all, no one saw Xi Shuang die with their own eyes, and no body was found, Feng Huanrong firmly believed that Xi Shuang would not die so easily, and when he grew up, he would marry her!
Dragon Country.
The carrier pigeon was not shot down and cooked and eaten, Xi Shuang's letter properly went to Long Xuanjing's hands, and was hidden under the pillow by Long Xuanjing, reading it day and night. But when Long Xuanjing was full of joy to send his letter, Qiao Wei brought the news of Xi Shuang's death, and Long Xuanjing clenched the letter in his hand tightly and held back tears. After Qiao Wei and the palace people left, Long Xuanjing took out Xi Shuang's letter from under the pillow, and gently stroked every word and sentence on the letter, Xi Shuang's smile seemed to bloom in front of his eyes. Tears burst and dripped on the letter, the words on the letter were a little faint, Long Xuanjing quickly took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped it, and pressed the letter under the pillow again.
"Bring the wine to !!" Long Xuanjing roared, but Qiao Wei and a few palace maids who were eavesdropping at the door were startled, and hurriedly went to move the peach blossom brew.
"Your Highness, you shouldn't drink alcohol now!" Qiao Wei hugged the peach blossom brew tightly, Long Xuanjing was only twelve or thirteen years old, and it was the first time he saw how Long Xuanjing lost his soul, and it was still for a girl to be so heartbroken.
"Bring it!" Long Xuanjing snatched the wine from Qiao Wei's arms, his eyes were red, "Get out!! Qiao Wei sighed, walked out and closed the door, and told the palace people with a gloomy face, his voice was full of powerlessness, "No one should disturb the peace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today." Qiao Wei drove away the palace people, sat alone on the steps, looking at the full moon in the sky, the moon was full of people, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sad, he had seen Long Xuanjing's cold as frost, but he had never seen Long Xuanjing so violent. The appearance of Xi Shuang made him see different Long Xuanjing, should he be happy or worried?
Long Xuanjing drank the peach blossom brew cup after cup, and the Japanese Lantern Festival appeared in front of him, wearing a blue pearl pompom glass hairpin on his head, a plush white earring in his ears, and a blue mist skirt of Lan Yuan, like a fairy who came out of the painting, and lost his mind when he saw it. Fengming's sweet smile on the side of the pond and her cuteness when she fell into the water emerged. Long Xuanjing stretched out his hand to grab Xi Shuang, but he pounced, and there was nothing but air.
Long Xuanjing should have known that Xi Shuang's biological parents would not let her go, why didn't he think of sending a few secret guards to protect Xi Shuang?! It was all his negligence, he was the only one who knew the facts, but he didn't do anything to protect him, causing Xi Shuang to lose his life. The more Long Xuanjing thought about himself, his eyes glowed bloodthirsty red, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand with a "snap", and blood gushed out of his palm, but Long Xuanjing didn't feel the pain, he hated, hated Xi Shuang's biological parents, and hated himself even more.
