Text Chapter 392 Returning to the Night Lonely Shadow
Time goes back to a little earlier, on Changle Plateau, Ling Xue, who was physically and mentally exhausted, felt that he was about to be unable to hold on. Since she was a child, she has never suffered like this. Of course, this kind of suffering is not only physically tired, but also uncomfortable in the heart. Sister Lingshuang was injured and had difficulty moving, Mrs. Su had not woken up from a coma so far, and Lingzhi was overly sad and drowsy. The task of taking care of these people fell on her shoulders for the most part.
Ling Xue and her sister Ling Shuang, twin sisters, although they lost their father at a very young age, they have not been wronged. As the orphan of Xifengwei's guard, because she was born smart and cute, she was raised by the Empress Dowager Dou herself, and was taken care of by the old manager Xiuyu and others.
Even when they came to the Changle Marquis Mansion later, they lived a comfortable life. Following the little master Yuan Zhao, I felt that he treated them no different from his sister, and there was no sense of alienation at all. On such a day, whether it is the innocent sister Ling Shuang or the lively and active sister Ling Xue, they all feel happy and satisfied.
It's not like they haven't thought about the future. When Empress Dowager Dou sent them to serve Yuan Zhao, she had already made it very clear to them that they would be the people around Yuan Zhao in the future, no matter how he would place them, they must obey his will and not disobey them.
In fact, they are only in their early twenties, and they are just beginning to enter their best years. However, in this era, if you are not married at this age, it is already a bit embarrassing.
When the two were in private, some embarrassing words, of course, were quietly discussed. For their little master, in their minds, they are naturally unparalleled heroes, Ling Shuang is still a little reserved, but Ling Xue is not, whenever he talks about it, his eyebrows are dancing, and his face is full of admiration, anyone can see it.
However, they have self-knowledge, and some crazy ideas, of course, are impossible to realize. If they can maintain their current state and let them stay by his side all the time, even if they have no name to serve him all their lives, they will be satisfied. However, everything changed overnight. The peaceful life was shattered, and the mansion that they had worked so hard to decorate as their home was destroyed like that.
When they and the guards in the palace swung their knives together to rush to the bloody road, and when they turned around and saw that the raging fire had completely engulfed the small building in the backyard where they once lived, the Ling sisters were bleeding in their hearts, and they were so sad that they couldn't scream!
The rest of the experience was like a nightmare. A large number of strong enemies chased and killed all the way, and in order to cover the safe evacuation of Mrs. Su, Lingzhi and all of them, several of the eighteen guards of the Yuan family with the highest martial arts died one after another on the way to resist bravely. The distance from Chang'an City to Changle Plateau is only seventy or eighty miles, and it is full of their blood.
Although everyone has been well placed and cared for after coming to Changle Plateau, Mrs. Su and her sisters are women after all, so there will be some inconveniences, so in addition to changing dressings and checking wounds, the daily care falls on Ling Xue, the only one who is not injured.
Sister Lingshuang had already seen the exhaustion in her sister's eyes, although she was stabbed in the back, it was considered a serious injury. But after feeling a little better, he struggled to get up and helped his sister Ling Xue scrub the unconscious Mrs. Su and nurse the wound to prevent the injury from becoming more serious.
Ling Shuang could have been unharmed. Her skills have also been unusual, especially in the past few years under the guidance of Yuan Zhao, and she has made rapid progress. With two knives in hand, few people can stop them.
However, at that time, when the galloping carriage was still three or four miles away from Changle Plateau, a large number of pursuers suddenly arrived. Ling Shuang and Ling Xue were protecting Mrs. Su and Lingzhi on the carriage on the left and right horses, and the four knives danced, and the wind and rain were difficult to penetrate. However, there are even more strong players in the strong, and under the siege of another wave of more than a dozen masters, they finally broke through the gap, and three or four sharp blades cut through the carriage and stabbed straight into it.
At the last moment, Ling Shuang threw herself off her horse and rolled over with her sword, blocking the enemy who attacked from her side, but she was also seriously injured after all, and if she hadn't had her double knives urgently blocked the knife that had been slashed from the slash, she would have been cut in two. Rao is like this, and the wound on his back is still very deep.
Compared to her, Su Hongyun was not so lucky. At the moment of life and death, when she heard Lingzhi's exclamation in her ears, she did not dodge, but hugged Lingzhi and used her body to cover the blade stabbing at her daughter. Half of the steel knife was plunged deep between her ribs, blood pouring down the ...... of the carriage.
Whether it is the person who understands medical skills on Changle Plateau or the medical officer in the Black Eagle Army, they have all been invited by the master father, Mr. Yan, to see it. However, they were helpless. Such a deep knife cut is already a fatal wound. And what's even more serious is that Mrs. Su has lost too much blood, and no matter how high your medical skills are, you will already be powerless!
Those who knew the news were saddened. No matter how much she tried to hide it, Lingzhi still knew the real situation after all, and there was a beautiful woman who would turn eighteen years old in less than a month, and she couldn't accept this fact. After crying and grieving, coupled with not eating or drinking anything, the body quickly weakened.
No matter how others persuaded her, she just stayed by Su Hongyun's side a little sluggishly and didn't leave a single step. She didn't know if she would have the courage to live after losing her mother. The beautiful and gentle girl, after only a few days of hard work, her face was haggard and without a trace of vitality.
There was such a big thing, and everyone in Fan Xue Lou had already withdrawn from Chang'an and came to Changle Plateau. It's just that they can't do anything but anger and sadness.
When the wind and snow swept through the grass and trees on the Changle Plateau, all the ships on the Wei River also stopped sailing. At the end of another day, when twilight was gradually approaching, Su Lingzhi watched Ling Xue wash the wound near Su Hongyun with warm water, and then went outside to prepare the medicine for dressing. She lay down beside her mother, thinking about something in a daze, her eyes were blurred with tears, and her mind gradually blurred.
In fact, she knew that her mother's life might be irretrievable, and it would be in vain to do this. These medicines are all healing drugs that Yuan Zhao made according to the recipe when he was there, in order to be afraid that if someone is injured, it will be easy to use. Now that even his medicine has no effect, what hope is there?
Listening to the faint breath in Mrs. Su's chest, Lingzhi's tears couldn't stop flowing, and she had shed more tears in the past few days than in the past eighteen years combined. Huge fear and sadness occupied her heart, she stretched out her hands, hugged Su Hongyun's slightly cool hand tightly, and secretly made up her mind to wait until she could no longer hear her breathing, that is, when she left this world, .......
Some of the voices coming from the courtyard outside, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes clear, sometimes some unintelligible. But she didn't have the heart to listen. The uncles who were waiting outside must have no less sadness in their hearts than herself, so she desperately suppressed her crying and tried not to make a sound, so that they would not be more uncomfortable because of it. She knew it was futile, but she did it anyway. Su Lingzhi is such a woman, even if her life is no longer important, I hope that these people who love her will be better!
This is a specially protected yard somewhere in the Changle Plateau. There are several wooden houses, which are very spacious and bright. The wood in the stove crackled and burned, and the snow fell outside, but it was warm as spring inside.
However, no matter how cold it is outside, it can't withstand the cold in my heart! Qian Liu has been a big shopkeeper in Fanxue Building in the past few years, and his body has been obviously blessed. However, at this moment, he was holding a big axe in his hand, and he was constantly splitting pieces of logs, and the yard was full of wood, I don't know how long it had been chopping, his head was sweaty, and blood was flowing on his hands.
"Sixth Brother...... Let's take a break! In this way, everyone's hearts are even more uncomfortable! ”
It was Song Jiu who spoke, he touched a cloth towel from behind him, and was about to walk over and hand it to Qian Liu, when someone next to him took it and walked over without saying a word. He looked at the figure that everyone called him "Little Fat Man" since he was a child, and sighed secretly. The seventh brother is dead, and Ma Xiaoqi has become an orphan. Mrs. Su was even more vicious, and several of them felt uncomfortable.
Hou Wu, who has always talked the most, didn't say a word, he just squatted to the side, kept drinking, his eyes were red, and his face was hideous.
And Zhao Yuan, who has been following Yuan Zhao in the past few years, is sitting on a big tree stump over there, still using the knife to carve the eyebrows and eyes of the wooden man little by little with a focused expression, that serious appearance, as if as long as this wooden figure is carved, the dead people and time can be resurrected.
Qian Liu finally stopped the axe in his hand, but he didn't use a cloth towel to wipe the blood flowing from the cracked wound on his hand, but looked at Ma Xiaoqi who walked in front of him, his eyes were full of sadness, and he stopped talking.
At this moment, a crisp cry was heard in mid-air, and it was the sound of a flying eagle. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan over there jumped up and ran outside at great speed, and a few of them didn't know what was going on, so they turned their heads in amazement. As Hai Dongqing swooped down from mid-air, the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow stopped. Ma Xiaoqi, who was stunned, saw his playmates who had grown up with him for many years jumping off the horse, and looked at them gently, just like they looked back then. The little fat man, who had been strong and patient after hearing the news of his father's death, burst into tears and finally collapsed.
Lingzhi, who was a little dazed, suddenly stopped when he heard the sound in the courtyard outside. It's so quiet that you can hear even the snowflakes falling. Then, she heard the sound of a door being pushed open, and then, Ling Xue, who was busy outside, seemed to see something incredible, stopped moving, and let out an exclamation of "ah".
Lingzhi raised her head, and she suddenly saw that Su Hongyun, who had been in a coma for many days, opened her eyes slightly, and muttered a word in her mouth.
“…… Yes, is Brother Yuan back? …… I can finally see him one last time...... Ganoderma lucidum, I'm relieved ....... ”
Longma crosses mountains and rivers, leaving no traces. A lone traveler for thousands of miles, returning to people on a snowy night!
