Chapter 32: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains
()
"King, Lord!" The maid who was taking care of the prayer saw Bai Xixie enter the door, and hurriedly knelt aside, bowing her head a little nervously, not daring to look up.
Walking to the side of the bed and kissing lightly on the sleeping Zhengxiang's prayer face, Bai Xixie asked,
"Why are you alone? What about the pure heart? ”
"If you go back, go back to the prince, the slave doesn't know!"
"I don't know? The child is here, how can you not know where the mother has gone? Didn't you take care of two people? ”
Bai Xixie was already angry at this time, and the maid who was kneeling on the ground was already kneeling on the ground at this moment, begging bitterly,
"The prince spares his life, the slave and the maid really don't know, when the slave and maid came, they only saw the child lying on the bed, but they didn't see the girl with a pure heart here!"
Looking at the trembling maid on the ground, Bai Xixie suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, this feeling seemed familiar,
"Is it ......?"
"Subordinates see the prince!"
While Bai Xixie was guessing, Xue Rong walked in from outside the door, still holding a folded letter in his hand.
"Lord Wang, this is what the girl with a pure heart asked her subordinates to hand over to you!"
"Where's she?"
Bai Xixie took the letter, but did not open it. He was a little frightened, and the letter was clutched tightly in the palm of his hand.
"Miss Xinchun said, the prince will understand after reading the letter!"
Bai Xixie's body shook, and he took a step back a little unsteadily, Xue Rong wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Bai Xixie's hand.
"She's gone again, isn't she?"
The tone was filled with endless loss.
"Yes!"
Xue Rong replied without hesitation.
"Why is this the case? What did she think of this king? ”
Glancing back at the child on the bed. The letter in Bai Xixie's hand clenched tighter.
"Lord Wang!"
"You all go out and let this king be quiet!"
Xue Rong and the maid retreated. Only Baek Hee-sub and the child were left in the house.
Gently unfold the letter in your hand, and the familiar handwriting comes into view.
"Xie, you must be hating me and resenting me at this moment, and I know that my quiet departure again makes you extremely uncomfortable. I'm sorry, I know this sorry sentence doesn't answer the doubts in your heart. Don't ask why, even I don't know if I can answer you. Chun'er has failed you, and I don't ask for your forgiveness in this life. Chun'er only asks you to take good care of the child! ”
The hand holding the letter was already bruised, and Bai Xixie's eyes looked at the few numbers, and his brows were furrowed,
"Even if you send this king away with a few numbers, you are still the same, you are still so self-righteous. This king will not let you go, not in this life! Even if you give everything you have, this king will one day bring you back to this king! Whatever your reason, in the eyes of this king, you are the owner and one of the king! ”
The letter had been crumpled into a paper ball by Bai Xixie, and it was tightly clutched in the palm of his hand.
"Someone!"
"The subordinates are here!"
*******
The night had been shrouded for a while, and Xinchun was still rushing forward non-stop, and she didn't dare to stop. She was afraid that Bai Xixie would chase after her, and she was even more afraid that once she stopped, she would never have the courage to take a step forward. Even though she was physically and mentally exhausted, she didn't want to look back. Eventually, the horse under him could no longer run, and Shinchun finally got off the horse. Her chest ached, and she couldn't breathe. A year ago, Xiao'er was by his side, and he cried bitterly on Xiao'er's shoulder at that time, but now, Xiao'er is dead, and he is the only one left. Xinchun went back to a few years ago when he was a beggar, alone and panicked from the heart.
Snuggled under a tree on the side of the road, the wind on the autumn night was so cold, but it was not as cold as Xinchun's heart at the moment. Looking up at the starry sky, Xinchun felt endless exhaustion. The hazy drowsiness hit, and Xinchun finally couldn't support it, and slept in this dark night, in this wilderness.
"Hmm~!"
Feeling a splitting headache, Xinchun opened his eyes and saw that the environment around him was so unfamiliar. He was lying on a wooden bed with a futon over him. Surrounded by simple wooden furniture, the whole house is very simple, but tidy. Just as Xinchun was wondering why he was here, and where was it, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a man dressed in gray walked in with a bowl of medicine.
Xin Chun just wanted to ask the person why he was here, but when he saw the face of the man in front of him, he was taken aback, and the man in front of him recognized him.
"The girl woke up, did she drink the medicine while it was hot?"
The man wasn't surprised by Xinchun's surprised expression. He just put the bowl in his hand on the wooden table. Then he turned and walked out the door.
"Wait!"
Xinchun suddenly called out to the man who was about to leave. The man turned his back and did not speak, but his steps stopped.
"Ice Splash, you're Ice Splash, right?"
"Girl, you are mistaken, there is no ice splash here, only a woodcutter!"
With that, the man walked out and closed the wooden door with his hand.
The head hurt again, Xinchun knew how to heal, and knew that he had a cold, which may have been caused by sleeping in the countryside last night and being immersed in the body by the night wind. Glancing at the bowl of medicine in front of him, Xinchun drank it without hesitation. Getting up and leaving the cabin, Xinchun took a look at his surroundings. It's noon at the moment, and it looks like I've slept for a long time. The hut was built deep in the mountains, and not far away his horse was tied to a tree, and he was eating the dried blades of grass on the ground with his head down. Ice Splash was chopping the firewood in front of him with an axe in a clearing.
"You saved me?"
"It's not saved, it's just that I saw the girl faint on the road and brought you back!"
Xinchun smiled and continued,
"Why did you lose your former identity? Is it because you are ashamed of the prince? ”
Ice Splash was still chopping wood, and did not answer.
"The prince doesn't hate you, let alone resent you, this is your choice, there is no right or wrong!"
The axe in Bing Splash's hand stopped, looked up at Xinchun, and then lowered his head to continue the work in his hand.
"Now that the girl is awake, let's leave!"
Xinchun didn't refute, even if the ice splash didn't say anything, Xinchun would leave. In fact, just now, Xinchun had already thought about where he was going.
Beware of Chun riding on his horse, he glanced back at the ice splash that was still waving the axe in his hand, and finally said,
"I can't escape for a while, so I can do it myself!"
This sentence is not only a pure heart saying to Bing Splash, she is also warning herself.
The horse's head turned, and his heart galloped away in the direction of Fengtian. There are still people waiting for her there! However, Xinchun understands that he is just a passerby to anyone and will not stay, and the final result is only to leave. So, this time she'll make a break with all the one qiē.
Clouds of dust splashed behind him, flying in the air, blown by the wind towards an aimless future.
