Chapter One Hundred and Eight, Twin Flowers
Su Lingling didn't know much about the delicate bones, and there was not much information she could find, after she left the capital, she was like a fish that was caught and suddenly released, and she wanted to find her former home but didn't know how to find it.
After searching outside for almost half a month, she remembered that she had promised Peony that she would go home once. However, when she was about to return to the capital, she met Qi Fengqi, Qi Fengqi asked her to go back to the Dharma Sect, and the master had something to bring her, so Su Lingling had to send a letter home and follow Qi Fengqi back to the Dharma Sect.
Su Lingling saw Yi Sheng, and Yi Sheng told her that Qi Fengqi had lost her martial arts and could no longer inherit the Dharma Hall, so she would be the only one, but in this way, she would have to become a monk.
Su Lingling hesitated, Yi Sheng sighed, and said, "Since you are not over, I won't force you as a teacher." ”
Su Lingling left the Dharma Sect, and Qi Fengqi chased after him, "Lingling, do you really want to give up the position of the head of the Dharma Sect?" ”
"Senior brother, I'm looking for Linglong Bone, he was injured and lost his martial arts." Su Lingling raised his eyes, Qi Fengqi's heart trembled, Su Lingling's eyes were full of tears, it was the first time he had seen her like this, such a fragile her.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hands to hug her, Su Lingling nested in a strong embrace, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Su Lingling cried while intermittently telling Qi Fengqi about the loss of his blood and blood after Sun Xian's red face was chaotic, Qi Fengqi sighed slightly after listening to it, and asked, "Did you find out that it was a red face mess for tassels?" ”
Su Lingling shook his head with red eyes, "I just want to be as fast as possible to find Linglong Bone to heal him." ”
Qi Fengqi stroked her long hair and said softly: "Don't worry, since he has no worries about his life now, you don't have to work so hard." ”
Su Lingling nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
"Silly girl, what else do you have to thank me?" couldn't help but rub her head, as if she was still the same little girl she used to be, Su Lingling raised her head and looked at Qi Fengqi's hearty and sunny smile, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"Senior brother, then I'll go back to the capital first."
"Well, be careful on the road." Qi Fengqi handed Su Lingling a signal flare, "Take this, now the rivers and lakes are in turmoil, if you encounter danger, use this, this is given to me by the previous martial arts alliance leader, pull this, no matter who sees it, the martial arts sects will come to help." ”
Su Lingling took the signal flare, hugged his fist towards Qi Fengqi, and said, "Senior brother, there will be a period later." ”
After saying that, he turned over and got on the horse and walked away.
It was three days after returning to the capital, and there was no danger along the way, not even a small turmoil, back to the Hou Mansion, Peony was talking about something with Mama Zhao in the kitchen, talking and laughing, but I didn't see Xiao Tao.
"Peony?" Su Lingling called her name, Peony raised her head, saw Su Lingling, the garlic in her hand fell, ran over in a few steps, and hugged her, "Sister, you are finally back!" ”
"Sorry for being a few days late." Su Lingling stroked her head and said softly, "What about Xiao Tao?" Did you find it? ”
Peony got out of Su Lingling's arms, shook his head, and said, "I haven't found it all over the capital, Xiao Tao may have left the capital." ”
Su Lingling's heart was astringent, Xiao Tao was just a nine-year-old girl, even if she kept pretending to be stupid, no matter how witty she was, how could she survive alone?
"Don't be afraid, Peony, I'll find a way to find Xiao Tao." Su Lingling comforted, as for how to find it, in fact, she didn't know the bottom in her heart.
Peony shook her head, "Sister, don't bother you, I know you have your own affairs." ”
Su Lingling was stunned, she didn't expect her to say this, and Peony continued: "Since Xiao Tao is no longer in the capital, I no longer have any hope of finding her, and I will live happily as if she was somewhere in this world." ”
"Peony, you-"
"Sister, Xiao Tao and I are twin sisters, I can feel it, she is still alive, as long as she is alive, I am relieved." Peony gritted her teeth and finished saying this sentence with difficulty.
Su Lingling didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but gently took her in his arms and patted her on the back.
Su Yansheng had gone out with a bunch of friends who drank and meat, and when he heard that Su Lingling was back, he didn't care about his friends' jokes, he threw them down and hurriedly ran back, when he came back, Su Lingling was sitting under the wisteria flower stand in the courtyard, and there was a wine jug on the table, and next to the seat was a wine jar.
"Yansheng, you're back." Su Lingling raised his eyes, and there was a little more confusion in his clear eyes.
Su Yansheng nodded, walked over and sat down opposite her, Su Lingling said to the tassel outside, "Go and add a wine glass to the young master." ”
The tassel replied, and soon took the cup over, Su Lingling filled it to Su Yansheng, Su Yansheng raised the wine glass and drank it, Su Lingling filled it for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking three cups in a row, Su Yansheng felt that something was a little upset, so he pressed Su Lingling's hand, Su Lingling looked at him expressionlessly, Su Yansheng looked at Su Lingling's cold gaze, and was a little scared, but he still let go of his hand, Su Lingling filled a cup for the two of them, and picked up his own cup.
"Sister, do you have something sad?" Su Yansheng asked cautiously.
Su Lingling supported his chin, squinted slightly, his long eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly about to flapping his wings and taking off, and his fair face already had two more pieces of crimson, adding a bit of charm to his cold face, like the most beautiful peach blossom tree in the April Mountains.
Su Yansheng was stunned, Su Lingling finished drinking a glass, pinched the wine glass and put it on the table, squinted at Su Yansheng, Su Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Su Lingling, but Su Lingling did not continue to drink, but fell asleep on the table.
Su Yansheng said in her heart that she was drunk, stood up and walked to Su Lingling's side and hugged her. Tassel saw that Su Lingling was already drunk under the flower stand, and hurriedly ran in, Su Yansheng said: "I'll send my sister back to the room, you can help her clean up." ”
Tassel bowed his head and said yes, and followed Su Yansheng back to the room step by step. Su Yansheng put Su Lingling on the bed, the tassel glanced at it worriedly, and Su Yansheng said, "I'll go and let the kitchen cook some decanting soup, and you can look at my sister." ”
Su Yansheng left Su Lingling's room and was about to go to the kitchen, but saw Peony standing at the door, Su Yansheng said, "Peony, you come with me." ”
Peony obediently followed, Su Yansheng instructed the kitchen to cook the decanting soup, and then said to the peony: "I'll go and say hello to my father and mother first, and you can send the decanting soup to my sister later." ”
Peony snorted, and went to look at the pot on the stove.
Su Yansheng wondered why the sweet peony in the past was so silent today, but she didn't think much about it and left the kitchen.
The master rice in charge let Peony watch, and he also went out of the kitchen, Peony has learned a lot in the kitchen in recent days, and like this, Master Mi usually hands it over directly to Peony.
Seeing that Master Mi was leaving, Peony raised her eyes and looked around, took out a small bottle from her bosom, stood on the small bench by the stove, and was about to pour it into the pot.
"Little Peach?"
The sudden sound behind her made her little hand tremble, and the white powder fell into the soup, and she hurriedly put away the small bottle.
The one standing at the door is the real peony, and this one is the little peach who came back suddenly.
"Sister."
"Little Peach, where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you? Peony came over a few steps, helped Xiao Tao's shoulder and turned around, and when she saw that she was okay, she sighed and said, "How are you spending these days?" With whom? ”
Xiao Tao quietly removed the white medicinal powder sandwiched between her fingers, and said, "I have been in the capital these days, with the old woman I met before. ”
"Then why haven't you been in contact with me? Even if you don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, you can at least tell me! Peony couldn't help but be anxious, and pinched Xiao Tao's shoulder with all her strength, Xiao Tao frowned, and said, "Sister, you hurt me!" ”
"I'm sorry-" Peony hurriedly let go of her hand, and combed Xiao Tao's somewhat messy hair again, and said, "Xiao Tao, since you're back, don't leave me, okay?" I'll be afraid of ...... if I stay alone in the Hou Mansion."
Xiao Tao's eyes lit up slightly, she lowered her head, pinched the small bottle with the hand in her sleeve, and said, "Sister, pour the pot of soup." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I poisoned it."
Peony was startled, hurriedly stood on the bench, lifted the lid of the pot, the soup in the pot was already boiling, she turned around, frowned and looked at Xiao Tao: "Why are you doing this?" Where did you get the poison? Did the old woman teach you? Who is that old woman? ”
She threw out a string of questions in one breath, Xiao Tao stretched out her hand, spread her palm to show Peony, Peony took the small medicine bottle, put it under her nose and smelled it, a strange aroma floated out, a dizziness hit, Peony hurriedly took it away, and held the stove to stabilize her body.
"Sister, do you remember when my mother brought us to the capital?"
"Naturally, I remember, what's wrong?"
"On the eve of her departure, my mother promised us that she would bring us here in the future, but after she went to meet a so-called old man, she never mentioned it again."
Peony wondered, "Do you know the reason?" ”
"Mother is the Marquis of Dongxiang who sees it." Xiao Tao said, "Before we were born, my mother signed a contract with Dongxiang Hou, but then this Dongxiang Hou broke the contract. ”
"What does this have to do with you poisoning Sister Su?"
"I want to take revenge on Dongxianghou."
"Momo, you're crazy!" Peony threw the small medicine bottle away and looked at Xiao Tao with round eyes, "Little Tao, how did you become like this?!" ”
"I will get rid of all the people who indirectly or directly caused the death of my father and mother, and as long as I am alive, I will definitely kill them one by one! Kill the people around them! ”
Peony slapped Xiao Tao's face without thinking about it, this slap used full strength, Xiao Tao didn't stand firm, fell to the ground, she raised her head, and looked at Peony coldly, this should not be the eyes of a nine-year-old child.
