Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 4
The sound of falling stones splashing on the water alerted the people on the other side of the rockery. I tried to slip away, but found myself still dizzy. Or choose to stand up honestly, so as not to make them suspicious. I held on to the rockery, went around to the front, and knelt down with a "plop". You don't need to pretend to be trembling when you're scared, because you're sick, and your body is already shaking.
"It turned out to be a little girl. Let's go. "It's not Chu Yi who speaks.
I lay on my stomach, kowtowed, and thanked me. Hurriedly grabbed the broom and ran away. I just lowered my head, not daring to look at the person in front of me. Chu Yi's appearance has been seen on the battlefield. But the first time I heard the name Chu Yi was in a restaurant in the Zhou Kingdom. I was living in the palace of Zhou for a while, my brother came to pick me up, and when I passed by a restaurant, I pestered my brother to go in to eat, and my brother could screw me somewhere.
The scenery that will always exist in the restaurant is a group of white-clothed scholars sitting together, chatting about national affairs. My brother didn't like this kind of scene and felt that they were talking about state affairs. And when one of them said a name, the elder brother began to listen to their conversation. This name is Chu Yi.
I was so focused on eating that I didn't hear what they were saying. Seeing that my brother listened to the gossip so seriously for the first time, I also stopped my chopsticks curiously. But they had already finished talking and walked away. The elder brother held the cup and did not speak, thoughtfully. I asked, "Brother, who is Chu Yi?" ”
My brother put a chopstick dish in my bowl and said slowly: "Chu Yi, he is the king of Qi Li, known as the god of war of Qi. According to these keywords, I sketched Chu Yi's appearance in my mind, "God of War?!" It's about the same age as my father. Moreover, it should look scary. Look at Daddy's eyes, how scary it is. ”
I said, mimicking Daddy's glare. My brother knocked on my head with a smile, "How can you dare to laugh at your father like this?" Be careful, I'll tell Daddy when I get back. And you're saying exactly the opposite. Chu Yi is only fourteen years old this year, a few years younger than your brother and me, but he has already won the border city of Qiwei with his own ability. Also, people are not reckless people, I heard that they were born beautiful and more beautiful than Pan Anli. ”
I let out a "snort" and picked up my chopsticks again, "It's just that I've heard, who has ever seen a real person?" Maybe his face is full of pockmarks, not as good as my brother's. ”
However, when I saw Chu Yi for the first time on the battlefield, I knew that I was wrong, although my brother was also extraordinary, he was not as good as Chu Yi in the slightest.
Back in the room, I lay on the table, dizzy at all. How did you get sick and menacing this time? Now is not the time to get sick! I put the broom in the corner and climbed into bed myself. It's okay if you don't sleep, but you can't wake up when you sleep. I felt my body heat up, and my mind began to dream. Some weird dreams. For a while, my mother was teaching me to dance in the capital of Zhou Kingdom, and for a while, my father punished me for not being allowed to eat in Yucheng, and I dreamed that my father drank poison and Wu'er died for me.
Finally, I felt something cool on my forehead, and someone poured me medicine. Gradually, things got better. I finally came out of my dream, and when I opened my eyes, it seemed to be noon outside. I sat up on the edge of the bed, did someone come to help me? But who is so kind? Also, I'm not sure if I'm talking in my dreams.
The door creaked open, and it was a little maid with a bowl in her hand. "Are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
I nodded. She straightened me and handed me the medicine bowl. "Your life is so good, it was actually the doctor that Aunt Honghui personally found for you, and Aunt Honghui personally took care of you yesterday." I was drinking my medicine and choked on this when I heard that. I'm curious now to know if I was talking in my dreams yesterday when I burned out.
"You're so happy! My aunt said that if you wake up, let me tell you that you don't need to clean today. Rest first and go again tomorrow. Your meal will be delivered today!" The little maid saw that I had finished drinking the medicine, so she took the medicine bowl and left.
I must have slept for a long time, and now I don't want to sleep anymore, just leaning on the head of the bed to rest. Red Fern is definitely not a good person, but why does she help me again and again? I just can't figure it out. I grew up in a family where I danced knives and guns, and if I could fight these people, my father would not have brought me to Yucheng.
When I was eleven years old, I overheard a conversation between the emperor and the prince in the palace. I don't remember the original words, to the effect that only the daughter of the merchant is worthy of becoming the queen of Zhou. I didn't understand the meaning of these words at the time, but I was curious that it had something to do with me, so I went back and told my father the same. Daddy's face changed when he heard this. A few days later, my father took me to Yucheng. I know my father doesn't want me to get involved in the royal strife, but I'd rather die in the battle for the throne than see my family like this.
Leaning against the head of the bed, I was waiting for the arrival of the red fern. Sure enough, I still waited for it. Red Channel: "Are you feeling better?"
I don't say anything. Hongqu suddenly approached me, her nails scratching my face. "You're not a dumb girl, why are you pretending to be a dumb girl? Say! What is the intention?" Her fingertips gradually drew to my neck, and I said, "Auntie misunderstood, the slave was from a humble background, and she was worried that she would say the wrong thing in this place, so she pretended to be dumb."
"You know, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Your accent, you are from Zhou!"
"Yes! I'm from Zhou!" That's why I pretended to be a dumb girl, and I ended up betraying myself.
"You are from the Zhou Kingdom, how could you come to the Qi Kingdom!" Red Fern's hand was wrapped around my neck. My breath was a little short, and I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the medicine I had just drunk, and how my hands were completely weak now. I came to Qi to kill the people who broke through Yucheng by myself, but I didn't want to send my life to Yucheng. "Aunt, aunt, I, I was abducted to Qi by human traffickers."
My hand touched her hand and pressed my fingernails against hers. Taking advantage of the painful release of my neck, I slipped out of bed, and ran out as hard as I could, not caring to put on my shoes. My light skills were forced to be learned by my father, and my father said that it is also an ability to run away and save my life on the battlefield. But, Daddy, why didn't you choose to run away in the end?
I was weak, and with the help of all my light skills, I was able to leave the red fern behind a small bite. I didn't know where to run, so I turned left at the intersection. I couldn't hold it anymore, and I hit a guy at an intersection, and I fell to the ground, and I grabbed the corner of his coat like a last straw. "Please save me!"
