Chapter 4: Escape from marriage
Ling Yun had never liked this feeling of being out of control.
Before coming to this era inexplicably, he had a life he liked. Although it is not a rich family, it is also warm and happy, the parents are alive, and there is a girlfriend who has been in love since college, and the new house for marriage is about to be installed.
But I came here suddenly, and it was a completely different place more than a thousand years ago. Although he had been in a coma for several days when he first arrived here, and now he had only woken up, he was so anxious that he didn't want to stay longer. There are no computers, no mobile phones, no Internet and no television, and he doesn't even know his new identity except that he knows that it is the eighteenth year of the opening of the Sui Dynasty. A new body, a body that has forgotten its memories. If that's all it takes, it won't make him so uncomfortable.
Dr. Qian, who had a haired hair like snow in Gaojiazhuang, had already told him about his injuries, and he fainted not because of water or wind, but because he was attacked and wounded by his sword. And it is also very strict, with a total of five arrow wounds and two knife wounds on his body, if it were not for the strength of this body and timely treatment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Absurd, too absurd.
It's already absurd to cross over inexplicably. But he actually encountered such a big crisis as soon as he came, even if he was a modern soul, he knew very well that his Sui Dynasty identity was in trouble, a lot of trouble.
Who is this Yi Feng, and who is going to kill him? Is it a robbery and murder by robbers, or a grudge against the rivers and lakes?
There is also this Gaojiazhuang, which is weird and strange everywhere, and is still pressing him step by step.
Headache, Ling Yun is really having a headache now.
He is now facing a dilemma, if he stays, he will be forced to join Gaojiazhuang and be the son-in-law of that albino beauty. According to his understanding of the son-in-law of this era, this soft rice will be very unpalatable, and it is estimated that he may have a very poor life in the future. Or, he could find a way to escape from here, but although he inherited this Sui Dynasty body, he didn't have the memory of this body. Except for a jade pendant with the word Yi Feng written on it, nothing else is known. Who is he, is Yi Feng his name? The most dangerous thing is that who hurt him, and if he goes out at this time, will he fall into the net?
Stay, don't stay, don't stay, stay
This is a dark and damp room with March, a corner of the lonely independent manor of the faint wooden house, it seems to be a quiet and independent guest house, and the most terrible thing is that this quiet guest house is actually built in a wide pool in the corner of the manor, only a small verandah connected to the shore. The hut is unsheltered, completely exposed to the open view, and the family in the pavilion outside the house stares at the place. If it is summer, the pond is full of lotuses and lotus flowers, and this must be a good place to enjoy the lotus and the wind, but at this time, it is more like a prison cell, exuding deep silence and suffocating gloom, and in it, he is a prisoner.
But he knew that if he decided to leave, then tonight would be his last chance. When it dawns tomorrow, he can't leave if he wants to, and until tomorrow evening, he will be taken into the lobby and married a woman who has only said a few words.
Leave or stay?
This was a difficult choice, Ling Yun hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to leave. It may be dangerous outside, but it's not necessarily a good choice to stay. He doesn't dislike Gao Qianxue too much, but he can't marry a stranger casually. What's more, this Gaojiazhuang still looks so unusual everywhere.
The room was in the middle of the pool, the doors and windows were sealed, and the outside was guarded by the housekeepers, and the only boardwalk leading to the shore was guarded. After careful observation, Ling Yun finally gave up the idea of fleeing from the front. However, to Ling Yun's delight, this is a wooden house built on the water, and this hut is made entirely of wood. Although he can't fly away from the sky with wings, he can try to leave from below.
Waiting until it was completely dark, and it was estimated that it was already after ten o'clock in the night, Ling Yun, who had slept and recuperated, immediately opened his eyes. He got up quietly, crept to the door and window, listened carefully to the movement outside, and made sure that the guards were dozing off in the small pavilion outside the house at this time, and then walked to the corner that had been selected before.
The floor of the house is made of pine planks, and the cabin is actually built on water like a stilted house. Under Ling Yun's feet, the tatami-like thick straw mat was lifted, and there was only a layer of pine planks left underneath, as long as he managed to lift one or two planks, he could escape from the small building underwater. The pine planks were very strong, but it didn't bother Ling Yun. He had a knife, which was delivered with dinner. Although the roast lamb for dinner was not seasoned with cumin, it was so fishy that he hardly touched it. But the knife that cut the meat was well stored by him, and it was the tool he relied on to escape at this time.
Ling Yun's movements were serious and careful, and finally, after spending about two hours, he finally opened a hole in the floor that allowed him to leave. After putting a few dismantled planks and pillows in the quilt, and pretending to be sleeping with his head covered, he took another look at the room, and as soon as he was normal, he lifted the curtain, picked up the planks at the entrance of the hole, put his body into the hole, and finally put the mat down again to cover the hole. In the end, with a little nervousness, he tensed his body, trying to make the smallest splash and make the smallest sound when he fell into the water.
"Bang!" In the silence of the night, the sound of water splashing suddenly sounded, Ling Yun stood motionless in the water, and waited for about five minutes, when he heard the squeaky footsteps of the wooden planks overhead, and the muttering of the guards as they came and went, and confirmed that although the guards got up to check, they could be deceived by the disguise he had made with planks and pillows beforehand, and he was relieved.
The pool was not deep, but it reached his chest.
The water in the pond in the middle of the night in late spring was very cold, but it couldn't stop Ling Yun, who was bent on leaving.
It's just that when he walked cautiously in the pond for a while, and finally reached the shore, he saw high and shallow snow under the willow trees on the shore. She was sitting quietly on a stone bench under the willow trees on the shore, her hair like frost and silver stranded diagonally in a loose ponytail that was draped over her shoulders. And she was playing a game of chess alone on the stone table with her slender hands like green onions. It was cloudy and moonless tonight, but at this time, a bright moon pulled out the dark clouds and quietly revealed. "Miss Gao!"
She raised her head and looked at him, "Young Master Yi." Her tone was solemn but ethereal, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" ”
He smiled a little bitterly, why didn't he notice her sitting here just now? However, he would never believe that in such a midnight watch, Gao Qianxue would come here alone to admire the moon. At this time, she was sitting alone, but she didn't even have a maid with her, and she didn't even have a lamp. "It's really beautiful, just now it was still full of dark clouds, but this will already be a bright moon hanging high. This moon also lived up to Miss Gao's expectations, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the bright moon. Ling Yun jumped out of the pool with the help of the pond bank, and then simply sat on the edge of the pool, carrying the high and shallow snow on his back to wash the mud on his feet. He could feel those eyes staring at him, but he tried to avoid him.
"Can you keep the clouds open and see the moon, but the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and it will still be blown away by the rain and wind after all!" There was a hint of loneliness in her voice.
"The melon that is twisted is not sweet!"
Gao Qianxue frowned slightly, "I heard Uncle Qian say that Gongzi Yi forgot who he was?" I wonder if you can remember anything now? ”
"No?" Ling Yun shook his head, he also hoped that the original memories of this body would suddenly appear in his mind. That would help him a lot, at least he knew who he was in this era, where his home was, what relatives he had at home, who his parents and siblings were, and most importantly, if he had a memory, he would know who had hurt him. It's a pity that until now, he has gained nothing of these memories. However, what gave him a glimmer of hope was that he could speak this kind of Sui Dynasty official dialect with a slight Henan accent, which showed that he was not completely amnesiac from his original memory. Maybe one day, he will remember who he is, but it may be tomorrow, or it may never remember.
"Childe's injury is not light, according to Uncle Qian, judging from the wound of the sword, Childe does not seem to have encountered bandits who seek money and kill people, but is very similar to the sword of the officers and soldiers in the army." Gao Qianxue said, holding a crystal white chess piece between her right index and middle fingers, emitting a dull luster in the dark night. "The slave family thinks that if Gongzi leaves Gaojiazhuang at this time, it will be very dangerous."
"If this is the case, if I stay, it may also bring danger to Gao Jiazhuang and Miss Gao." Ling Yun believed Gao Qianxue's words, which made him shudder in his heart. If the person who wants to kill him is an official person, then he is really in a bad situation. He turned to see her holding the chess pieces, the situation on the chessboard was delicate, it was a good game. Ling Yun didn't like Go very much, but before he went to university, he had studied Go for many years, and even when he was in elementary school, it was his dream to be a Go player. When he was a teenager, he played so much chess that he rarely touched Go again after college, but his level of Go was still good.
"The slave family has sent someone to find out the identity of the son." Gao Qianxue fell again, "But things are not going well, so far I can't find out about Yi Feng, and I can't find out half of the news about Ling Yun." Yang, He, Jiang, Chang, Wu, and Hao prefectures have no news. She sighed and said, "The slave family plans to expand the scope of investigation a little more, and go to Hangyue, Xusi and other places to investigate." There is one more thing I want to tell you, after returning from the river that day, the slave family sent people to check on the nearby places, but they found nothing, and the people who hurt the son came from a lot of things, and they were very hidden. Childe is too dangerous to leave at this time, not to mention, where will you go if you forget your past memories? It's better to stay. ”
"But you also said that those people are very dangerous, and if I stay, I may be involved in you." Ling Yun was very grateful to Gao Qianxue for these help to him, no matter what, he should be grateful.
Gao Qianxue felt the change in his face, "You don't need to worry about this, Gao Jiazhuang is not afraid." ”
"If your arms can't twist your thighs, who can go against the court?" He turned his head and looked at the pond in the white moonlight, with a faint shadow looming nearby. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, the prestige of the Great Sui reached a peak, and even the former powerful Turkic Khanate was divided into two, and under the Sui Dynasty's weak and strong and military offensive strategy, the department fought for more than ten years. Such a behemoth, how can the small Gaojiazhuang resist.
She smiled softly, "You are too worried, the person who injured you used a standard sword in the army, but this does not mean that the court must be chasing and killing you." Otherwise, your wanted warrant would have been posted all over Jiangdong long ago. ”
"It is possible to use weapons in the army, and if you can't find the slightest trace, it will never be simple." This point, Ling Yun understands very well.
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will flood the earth." A smile that wasn't too worried appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she picked up a chess piece from the box, "Childe, as long as you can promise the slave family one thing, Gaojiazhuang will help you find your identity and help you resist and deal with these pursuers." ”
Ling Yun smiled bitterly, and finally got to the point, he just didn't understand why Gao Qianxue was so obsessed with him? With her identity, even if she is just a small landlord, she can still find a good husband.
"If you let you enter Gaojiazhuang, it's really difficult to obey your fate." He explained: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Miss Gao, it's a blessing to be able to climb high, but it's just a dignified manly husband, how can he enter a woman's family." ”
"It's a bit too hard to get into the stuff." Gao Qianxue nodded, "Then you don't have to worry about it." ”
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but unexpectedly, she immediately said: "If the son marries, the slave marries, there will be no problem." ”
"But the matter of marriage has always been the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and now that I am amnesia, how can I marry outside the country in vain, and I only have a few relationships with the girl, isn't it a bit too childish to talk about marriage on this?"
There was a beauty crying and shouting that she wanted to marry her, but Ling Yun still refused, this was really not his coquettishness. It's just that he has always thought that there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no pie in the sky, so he is always a little wary of this matter.
Gao Qianxue shook her head and said: "The slave family knows very well what they are doing, the slave family has been in the past ten years, in fact, it has already reached the age of marriage, but it has never met a suitable Ruyi Langjun." When I met Childe that day, the slave family felt that Childe was the person I was destined to be, and the encounter that day, the slave family felt that it was providence and fate. The slave family can understand that this matter is a choice made after careful consideration. ”
These words were bold and fiery, but Ling Yun was skeptical.
Just when he was about to refuse again, Gao Qianxue suddenly dropped the chess piece in his hand and found a silver dagger out of nowhere.
"To tell you the truth, the day I met my son, I didn't fall into the water." After saying this, he put the dagger to his heart, "The most painful thing in the world is not to lose, but to lose it when you think you get it." Yi Gongzi, why did you save me that day, and then give me hope, and now you want to cruelly take away this hope? In that case, Childe, see you in the next life. ”
Damn, Ling Yun couldn't help but curse, and couldn't help but want to yell at the sky, why can I always encounter such a thing?
One crying, two troubles, three hangings, a woman's killer feature, he couldn't imagine that even Gao Qianxue, a magical woman who didn't eat fireworks in the world, would be a little different, but he didn't expect it to be the same in the end. He couldn't tell if she was acting or real, after all, he had indeed rescued her from Jiangzhong a few days ago. Now he has rejected the other party's marriage proposal several times, and if he doesn't get in a hurry, the other party will be annoyed and angry, and he will seek death and life. Although reason told him, it was most likely just a means for this elf-like woman to force him to comply.
"I do!" Ling Yun didn't want to gamble, and he didn't want to bet. And looking back, he is indeed in a predicament now, thinking that the scars on his body are not healed, and there are many crises outside, maybe it would be better to stay.
He took a deep breath and finally made up his mind that it was better to stay than face the unknown fears and dangers outside. At the very least, Gao Qianxue is also a silver-haired beauty. That's it, after crossing the Great Sui, let's start by eating soft rice. Anyway, at least now you don't have to get involved, and being a door-to-door son-in-law is a lot of progress.
Gao Qianxue's body shook slightly, and the silver dagger in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and she seemed to be a little unexpected.
