Chapter 15: This Heart Pounds
As soon as I closed my eyes, as soon as I opened them, the sky had changed from a blue to a dusk red.
Turns out I've been asleep for so long.
What about the red jacaranda?
I was about to get up to look for her, but I found her right next to me, close to me, with my arms on her pillow, asleep here like me.
Her face tilted forward slightly, as if she wanted to get closer. The small mouth is slightly open, the nose exhales slowly, and the sleep is peaceful. A few strands of green silk, on the quaint tiles, on my chest. The gesture of clasping my arm seemed to tell me that she was just as insecure and in need of protection as any other girl. She's beautiful, but now it's not because she's pretty.
I looked at her sleeping face with fascination, the air I breathed against her face. She seemed to wake up and shifted her head over my shoulder, before she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me in confusion.
I swallowed and said to her, "It's time to get up." ”
"Huh?"
She was still fascinated, looked around, then at the red glow in the sky, and finally at me, and then left my shoulder as if she was sure why she was here.
It wasn't until the moment the weight left that I felt a little weird.
She sat with her back to me, gently combing her sleep mess and straightening her clothes.
I sat up and looked at the remnant sun, waiting for the red tree to finish combing, not knowing what to say. Is it time to make a joke about her sleeping messy? But Rao is a person who doesn't look at the atmosphere like me, so it's not so boring.
After finishing the red japanda tree, he looked at the red glow in the sky for a while, and said slowly: "The scenery here is really good." ”
"yes, yes."
"I'd actually like to continue to see the night and dawn here, and I'd like to stay here with you all day if I can."
“......”
"But Uncle Yan should be in a hurry, let's go down the mountain quickly."
She turned back to me and smiled, the setting sun shining on her clothes and skin, and even her jet-black hair turned golden. A group of cranes in the distance are whining, showing the tranquility of the moment.
"Well, let's go down the mountain."
We got off the Baolong Pagoda, left Zhengyang Peak, and walked from the Shuijing Peak trail to the stone pool.
The sky had become dark, the woods had become deep, and the sound of a small trickle flowing into the waterhole still echoed clearly.
I stopped when I sent her to the rocky pool.
Yan Hui appeared from the dark woods, stared at the red tree with some reproach, and glared at me with a threatening look, "If it's a little later, I'll cut you kid." ”
Uncle is unreasonable, he doesn't blame Hongying but puts all the blame on me, and it's not all my fault to go down the mountain so late.
Hongying jumped out at the right time to speak for me, pulled the empty sleeves of Yan's return, and persuaded in a coquettish voice: "Okay, Uncle Yan, don't be angry, it's all me, I don't pay attention to the time, Wang Yi is just playing with me." ”
The more she spoke for me, the worse Yan returned.
He turned to Hongying and said, "Miss, let's go." ”
"Uncle Yan, wait here for a while."
The red tree trotted over, pulled me to the edge of the small stone pool, and stretched out his hand to me: "Clothes." ”
She wore the Dao robe of the Qing Xuan Dao Sect all day, and she forgot that her red robe was still in my ring. I hurriedly took out her red dress and handed it to her, then consciously turned around and waited for her to change. After she had changed into it, she turned around, took the robe she had taken off, and put it back into the ring.
"I promised you in the morning, if you have fun, I'll teach you another way to kill your senior brother."
"Listen up."
She took out a vermilion bead from the sleeve of her red robe, handed it to me and said, "This is a thunderbolt bead, it will explode after three times after being injected with spiritual energy, and the danger range of the explosion is about this ~ as large." She released the red silk and used the red silk to draw a circle with a diameter of about two zhang on the surface of the pool, and then told me: "Within this range, unless you have the strength of the Yuan Infant Period, you will be half crippled if you are not killed by such an explosion." ”
I immediately understood, pinched the dangerous bead and asked her, "Do you want me to blow up my senior brother with this bead?" ”
Hongying nodded, and I took a cold breath and said, "Isn't that going to blow up and make the poop fly out?" ”
"You stupid? I don't mean that you put the beads on him and blow them up, I mean that your little thief Wang Shien is now seriously injured and lying on the bed, as long as he has some power, he can blow him up, and he doesn't have to get too close. Of course, I think it's okay to blow him up directly, after all, plus the time you stabbed him at the beginning, you missed three times, and this time you directly blew him into seventeen or eighteen pieces of meat, see how he can save him. ”
“...... You're bloody. ”
She frowned aggrievedly, poked my stomach with her fingers and blamed: "I'm for your good, it's been three days, your senior brother may wake up at any time now, if you don't solve him quickly, you'll be in big trouble!" ”
Hongying really got to the point, if I don't kill the senior brother again, when he wakes up, I will have to be retaliated by him. I made mistakes in the previous two poisoners, and if I blow it up directly this time, I feel like the senior brother is dead. It's just that I'm a little scared to come up with such a big plan.
"Because you have to be there to use the Thunderbolt Beads, and in order to avoid being suspected, you have to get hurt a little bit, the heavier the better. And then when everybody comes, you say that somebody threw a bead through the window, and you're blown up and don't know anything. They certainly won't suspect you, after all, it's your brother, and you're injured. ”
I nervously said, "Are you going to get hurt?" ”
She was angry when she saw my timid appearance, and crossed her waist to reprimand me: "How can you make others believe that you are innocent if you are not injured, if your senior brother wakes up, it will be difficult for you to even live!" The tone softened, and then said: "But Miss Ben is thoughtful, and I expected that you were timid and afraid of pain, so I borrowed a treasure to protect you." ”
I wondered what kind of treasure she could come up with, but when she saw the red ying, she pulled out the red silk and threw it towards the pool, and the red silk went straight to the bottom of the pool. She tugged again, and the red silk came out with a blue sword.
Kiyohime.
What did she think about hiding Qing Ji in this pool?
Hongying took back the red silk and caught Qing Ji, and said to me: "Qing Ji will lend you for the time being, and when the time comes, you remember to bring her, even if the thunderbolt bead explodes, if it is too powerful, Qing Ji will protect you from excessive damage, and will only make you suffer a little injury." ”
I said disappointedly, "It's useless to borrow me, and I can't control her." ”
She said angrily: "Nonsense! Who can control her in this world? Not even my dad, how can you do it? ”
“...... Then you talk about a ball. ”
She didn't bird me, but held Qing Ji in her hand, and said softly to the sword in a pleading tone, "Sister Ji, please." Then he smiled sweetly and handed me the sword.
I took the sword, and this time Kiyohime didn't shake in my hand. I was stunned for a moment before I understood, and asked Hongying in surprise, "Are you talking to the sword spirit?" ”
"Right~"
Hongying stretched out her finger and said to me sternly: "My relationship with Sister Ji is amiable, I only ask her to protect you this time, you must treat her well during this time, in case she gets angry, she will not protect you when she is killed." ”
I drew a sword in the crotch of my pants before, it seems that I have already her off, right?
But I'm even more curious, this sword actually has emotions to communicate with people, and I don't want to be controlled, but I can actually listen to people.
I respectfully knelt down and shouted at the sword in my hand: "Sister Ji, my little brother's life will be handed over to you!" "However, Kiyohime didn't react at all, what does this mean, don't you bother to pay attention to me?
Hong Ying smiled and said, "That's pretty much it." ”
Kiyohime is a rare divine sword, and I'm somewhat aware of this. The trust that Hongying was able to hand over Kiyohime to me so confidently made me speechless. She's about to go down the mountain, and I want to say thank you, but there seems to be no reason to say it, after all, she fed me poison and wants to coerce me into doing something for her, wouldn't it be too strange to say thank you to someone who controls her own life?
After a moment's hesitation, I just said, "See you tomorrow." ”
Hong Ying sneered: "Miss Ben didn't say that she would look for you tomorrow, why do you want to see me so much?" ”
“...... That's gone. ”
"Hee-hee, agreed, see you tomorrow!"
Hongying showed me a bright smile, turned around and ran to Yan Hui's side, and after waving goodbye to me again, the two of them left from the mountain path with a smile and a smile, and soon blended into the dark woods, and they could not see their figures, and even the sound gradually became inaudible.
Tomorrow?
If I can't kill the elder brother, where will I have tomorrow?
