Yi Ying staggered towards Hou

"But it was you who I met first! In May of that year, my female companion and I swam in Gaoxin, watching the people of Gaoxin put the lanterns, I didn't expect an accident, accidentally fell into the water, I can't swim in the water, but I was entangled by the water weed, it was you who saved me, you supported a flat boat, while taking me to watch the lanterns, while helping me find a companion, I see that you are not the first time to come to Gaoxin, ask you what to do in Gaoxin, you said, 'Come to see a woman, I heard that she came to see the lanterns', I knew that I was engaged, and I was slightly disappointed, and later, I found my companions, and you heard them call me 'Yiying', and suddenly asked, 'Are you Miss Fengfeng'? I said, 'Yes', you stared at me for a moment, and said with a smile, 'It turned out to be you'! After speaking, you held the boat and slid towards the sea of lights, I heard someone in the distance calling 'Tu Shan Gongzi', you answered, and the female companions all looked at me and laughed, we all thought that you were the Tu Shan Gongzi who was married to me, and came to see me. I looked in the direction of your departure, surprised and delighted, and the words 'It turned out to be you' echoed in my heart! I was preparing my wedding dress and happily waiting for the wedding, but the news came that you were seriously ill and that the wedding had been cancelled. My father inquired that you were not sick but missing, and I was reluctant to waste my carefully cultivated chess piece on a dead man, and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but I always saw your figure in front of me, the lanterns were like a sea, and you held up the boat, and said with a smile, 'It turned out to be you'! I ignored my father's objections, put on my wedding dress, and rushed all the way to Qingqiu, and the only thought was, I must find out your murderer, and whoever killed you, I will kill him for you! Although you did not marry me, I regarded myself as your wife and served my grandmother with all my heart, and when I was convinced that it was Tu Shanhou who had harmed you, I was determined to avenge you. When Hou returned, he managed to kill him. That day is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, you just finished a big business, returned from Xuanyuan City, I supported my grandmother to greet you, the house is full of lanterns, you carry a crystal lamp, slowly walking, I looked at you blankly, the roar in my ears is 'it turned out to be you'!"

In the month of Mengxia, there is only one month left before Jing and Xiaoyao get married, and according to custom, the two can not meet again. Jing had to go back to Qingqiu, try on the dress, check every detail of the wedding, make sure everything went well, and then it was - waiting to marry Xiaoyao.

The entire mansion of Tu Shan's family has been renovated, and the yard where he and Xiao Yao live in the future is completely designed and built according to Xiao Yao's wishes: Xiao Yao likes to eat snacks, and there is a small kitchen in the garden: Xiao Yao likes to drink green plum wine, and two green plums are planted on the hillside: Xiao Yao likes water, and the hot spring water is used to open a pond......

Although the elder had already thought about it very carefully and carefully, when Jing saw the garden as his and Xiaoyao's home, he had different requirements for everything, and he took matters into his own hands and rearranged the furniture and utensils, and the elder saw that Jing was enjoying it, so he went with Jing.

In the month of Mengxia, on the 20th, Hu Deaf came with the news that Tu Shanyao was critically ill and had no water and rice, and when he was awake, he only knew that he was crying and shouting to see his father.

Hu Deaf and Hu Du are brothers, but also Jing's henchmen, since Tu Shanyao was born, he has been responsible for protecting Tu Shanyao, although he hates Yiying and Hou, but he can't hate Tu Shanyao, and has always been very good to Yao.

Jing couldn't bear to be sucked dry by the god of consciousness and died, so he cleverly used a strategy to let Yiying die, but secretly arranged for Yiying to leave Qingqiu.

Yiying used to be very lively, she would participate in all kinds of banquets and gatherings, and she had friendships with various clans, and many people had seen her in the entire Great Wilderness from the northwest to the southeast. Now Yiying is very afraid of seeing people, Jing thinks about it, and only Qingshui Town can let Yiying live with peace of mind, so he sent Yiying to Qingshui Town.

Although Yiying no longer needs to use spiritual power and essence blood to worship the god of knowledge, after all, he has sacrificed his body to raise the god of knowledge, and his vitality has been greatly damaged. Even if you care carefully, at most you will survive until you grow up. In order to prevent Yiying from being depressed and begging for death, and in order to let Yao'er get together with her mother more, every spring and summer, Hu Deaf would send Yao'er to live in Qingshui Town for three or four months. This year, because he was going to get married, he specially asked Hu Deaf to come back at the end of autumn. Unexpectedly, Yao'er suddenly became seriously ill.

Hu Deaf is a steady and reliable person, the news will never be false, and there are more than 20 days before the wedding day, and there is no delay in going back and forth, but Jing is faintly uneasy in his heart, and it seems that he should not go, but even if Yao'er is not his son, he is also his nephew, not to mention that in Yao'er's heart, he is his father, if Yao'er has something, Jing can't forgive himself.

Jing pondered for a while, and decided to rush to Qingshui Town with Hu Zhen, and at the same time ordered all the secret guards to be brought with him.

This is the first time Jing has asked for the strictest secret guard, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "There will be a big wedding next month, if the patriarch has any hunch, it is best not to go out." ”

Jing asked, "If something happens to Yao'er, will Xiaoyao and I still be able to hold a wedding as scheduled?"

He bowed down and said, "Understood! Please rest assured that we will let the patriarch come back smoothly for the wedding, and this is the reason for our existence. ”

Before leaving, Jing wrote a letter to Xiao Yao, telling Xiao Yao that he had to go to Qingshui Town, explain the cause and effect of the incident clearly, and let Xiao Yao not worry, with the secret guard following, he would rush back to Qingqiu as soon as possible.

When Jing arrived at Qingshui Town, it was already dawn on the second day.

Yiying sat beside the couch, dressed in black, with a black veil on her face, and the whole person was tightly covered, leaving only a pair of eyes with autumn water as pupils outside.

Jing asked, "How is Yao'er?"

Yiying was in a trance, pointing to the couch without speaking, Hu Zhen stepped forward to check the pulse, Jing leaned down, and said softly: "Yao'er, Daddy is here." ”

When Yao'er saw Jing in a daze, she cried out with a wow, stretched out her hand to hug Jing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, I'm so uncomfortable, am I going to die?"

Jing hugged Yao'er in his arms: "Don't cry, don't cry!" You have to be strong, Dad brought the best doctor, and when you get better, Dad will take you to see the sea. ”

Yao'er said weakly: "I want to see the sea." ”

Jing and Yao'er both looked at Hu Zhen expectantly, Hu Zhen frowned, put down Yao'er's wrist, and checked Yao'er's tongue and eyes. Jing saw that Hu Zhen's face was ugly, smiled and said to Yao'er, "Sleep for a while, okay?"

Yao'er was already very tired and sleepy: "Well, I sleep, and my father accompanies me." ”

"Okay, Daddy is with you." Jing's hand was on his forehead, and Yu'er fell asleep.

Jing then asked Hu Zhen, "What is the disease?"

Hu Zhen said: "It's not a disease, it's a poison." ”

Jing didn't bother to explore the reason, and asked urgently, "Can you solve it?"

Hu Zhen said ashamedly: This is fox poison, I can't solve it, but Miss Xiling can solve it, but time is a little tight......"

Yiying, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Hu Zhen, I have grown a little over the years, and I can actually identify the fox poison." In fact, why bother looking for Xiling Dongling from afar, just go directly to the poisoned person to ask for an antidote!"

Jing said: "This is also a solution, but who is the person who poisoned it?" Do you have a clue?"

Yi Ying pointed to herself: "It's right in front of you." ”

Hu Zhen exclaimed, subconsciously blocked in front of Jing, and asked angrily: Tiger poison does not eat children, you actually poisoned your son?"

Jing stared at Yiying in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

Yi Ying smiled: "These people you arranged are more like foxes than the other, if it weren't for this tricky poison to make them believe that Yao'er was dying, how could they invite you here?"

Jing said coldly: "I'm here now, you can detoxify Yao'er." ”

Yi Ying was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you ask why you were lured here?"

Jing grabbed Yiying's arm violently and dragged her to the couch: "Detoxification!" Because of anger, his voice became very gloomy, and his handsome facial features were also a little hideous.

Yiying lay on the couch weakly, looked up at him, and suddenly there was a layer of tears in her eyes: "You really care about Yao'er." ”

Jing said coldly: "Detoxification!" He pressed his palm, and his body trembled in pain.

Yiying struggled and said, "The antidote is in the hands of the person who poisoned me again." ”

Jing threw Yiying to the ground and shouted, "Tu Shanhou!"

Hou walked into the house, smiled at Jing, and said lightly: "It was my son who was poisoned, I am not in a hurry, my good brother, what are you in a hurry?"

Jing asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"All the people you left in Qingshui Town have been ......," Hou made a throat-slitting motion, "Your secret guard has also been dragged, and now this room is full of my people, as long as I give an order, you will immediately be heartbroken by ten thousand arrows." ”

Hu Zhen didn't believe it, and immediately shouted: "Hu deaf, deaf, deaf!" Hu Ling, small winter melon...... Quiet! You ......" There was really no one to respond to him, Hu Zhen said angrily: "Hou, don't forget the blood oath you made in front of your ancestors and ancestors!" If you dare to hurt the patriarch, you will not die a good death!"

Hou seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and laughed: "I don't want to die? Do you think I'm going to be scared to death?"

Jing asked, "Since you want to kill me, why don't you give the order?"

Hou squinted his eyes and smiled: "Since I was a child, everyone said that you were better than me, no matter what I did, you were better than me." This time, I asked for a fair duel, where life and death would determine who was stronger than whom. ”

Jing said: "I have one condition, let Hu Zhen go." ”

Hou smiled: "He's your maid's lover, right?" Okay, in order to keep her from shedding tears, I let Hu Zhen go. ”

Hu Zhen shouted: "No, no! Patriarch, you can't promise ......"

With a wave of his palm, Hu Zhen fainted and fell to the ground. He spread his palms and said with a smile: "I can finally talk quietly to my good brother." ”

Jing asked, "A fair duel?"

Hou said: "Yes, until one of them dies, the one who lives is naturally better, and no one can question the final result!" Even if the mother sees it, she has to admit it, right?"

Jing stared at Hou, his black eyes revealing a deep sadness.

Hou smiled and said: "Since you were a child, your mother has been helping you cheat, no matter what I do, I am always inferior to you." Tu Shanjing, you owe me a fair competition. ”

The sadness in Jing's eyes was like thick ink, and he said, "Since this is a fair duel, you have already chosen the way of the duel, and I will choose the location of the duel." ”

Hou smiled disdainfully: "Yes!"

"Good! I promise you!"

"This is the antidote!" Hou threw a pill to Yi Ying, turned around and walked towards the outer hall.

Jing silently followed behind Hou. Since he was a child, he has followed Hou countless times, sneaked out with his brother to play, followed his brother to the school, followed his brother to hunt, and followed his brother to greet his grandmother...... At that time, they would never have imagined that one day, they would fight a duel to the death.

The two rode out of Qingshui Town, and Jing chose a piece of wasteland on the bank of Qingshui: "It's here!"

Hou said: "There are mountains and rivers, and it is not bad to be your resting place!"

Jing looked at Hou, and Hou made a gesture of invitation.

The mist rose from Jing's side, gradually filling the entire wilderness, and Hou snorted disdainfully: "A fox is a fox, and he will never dare to face the enemy head-on, and even his children and grandchildren will not be able to change this stinky problem!"

The hand knotted the law seal, and the water spirit gathered, condensing into a blue tiger, running and roaring in the white mist. The tiger jumped up and pounced, and a white nine-tailed fox hidden in the white mist rolled away.

Hou laughed: "Jing, I know that you agreed to the duel to delay time, hoping that they can come, next month is your big day, you really want to go back alive to be the groom, but I tell you, it is impossible!"

Hou drove the tiger to kill the nine-tailed fox, because Hou has been better at killing since he was a child, the tiger is obviously more powerful than the nine-tailed fox, and he almost bit the neck of the nine-tailed fox several times, and the nine-tailed fox can dodge with the help of the diffuse fog.

Hou smiled: "It's not just you who are the descendants of the fox. "Spiritual power surged. The blue tiger turned white, and the white tiger's figure disappeared into the mist.

In the white mist, a lot of nine-tailed foxes suddenly appeared, one after another jumped past the white tiger, the white tiger hurriedly pounced left and right, but never one of them fell, tired and panting, and the tiger's figure was shrinking.

Hou knew that this was Jing's mystery, those nine-tailed foxes should all be fake, if this continued, his spiritual power would be consumed to the point of exhaustion, Hou suddenly closed his eyes, and the white tiger also closed his eyes.

Out of sight, all confusion is empty. Although the nine-tailed fox ran past the tiger, the tiger remained unmoved, hiding in the fog, just prick up its ears vigilantly.

Hou secretly rejoiced, fortunately, Jing's throat and hands were destroyed by him, and he couldn't sing or play the sound of confusion. The world only said that Qingqiu Gongzi's piano skills and singing were peerless, and he became a romantic affair, but he didn't know that it was a mysterious technique that Jing had practiced since he was a child. If Jing could use the voice of the mystery now, he would have to plug his ears, and a blind and deaf tiger Hai really didn't know how to kill the nine-tailed fox.

The tiger's ears moved, and he jumped up with his body, and swooped down from mid-air, seemingly attacking the nine-tailed fox on the left, but the chain-like tail cut fiercely to the nine-tailed fox on the right, the nine-tailed fox jumped outward, and the body dodged, but the furry tail did not dodge, and the tiger's tail was cut into a strong knot, and two were broken at once.

Jing's throat was fishy, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, the white mist faded a lot, and the tiger grew up.

The nine-tailed fox lost its two tails, and it was no longer as agile as before, because the white fog had faded, and it was not easy for it to hide, and the tiger began to kill it fiercely. After a while, the nine-tailed fox was bitten off by the tiger and broke two more tails.

Hou said: "Jing, if you admit defeat and admit that you are not as good as me, I will let you die a happy death." ”

Jing's face turned pale, and he pursed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word. Hou said: "Then I can only tear off your tails one by one and let you die in the most painful way!"

The tiger bit off one of the nine-tailed fox's tails, and Jing continued to fight against the pain in his body as if it had been torn apart.

As soon as the tiger grabbed the picture, the nine-tailed fox broke another tail, and Hou roared angrily and asked: "Jing, would you rather have all your organs broken than say that you are inferior to me?"

Jing's body trembled slightly, but his voice was cold and calm: "If the former eldest brother asked me this question, I would immediately admit that I am indeed inferior to him in many ways." But now that you ask me, I can tell you clearly that I despise you! You're nothing but a weak person whose heart has been mastered by hatred!"

His face was distorted in anger and he roared angrily.

A tiger roared, like a thunderbolt in the middle of the day, shaking the mountains and forests. The tiger jumped a few times and pressed the nine-tailed fox under its claws.

Jing fell to the ground, covered in blood.

Hou roared and said, "Who is the weak now?" How dare you look down on me? Say! Who's the weakling?"

Jing didn't say a word, and he didn't look at it.

The tiger tore it hard with one claw, one of the tails of the nine-tailed fox was torn off, and Jing's body spasmed in pain. Hou roared angrily and asked, "Who is better than whom?" You answer! Who is inferior to whom? You answer me......"

The white tiger's hind paws pressed the nine-tailed fox, and the front body was raised high, and the two front paws were about to pounce heavily on the body of the nine-tailed fox, tearing the nine-tailed fox to pieces.

Suddenly, Hou's body froze, the roar disappeared, and the white tiger's body slowly blurred.

Hou looked down in disbelief and saw an arrow engraved with a cross-necked mandarin duck in his heart, he touched the mandarin duck on the arrow cluster and whispered: "Yiying!"

Hou raised his eyes to the sky.

A white Pegasus landed, and Yiying, dressed in a black dress, lay on the Pegasus, holding an intricately forged bow in her hand.

Because of his weak body, he was probably afraid that he would fall off when he shot an arrow, so Yiying tied himself to the sky horse with a rope. Now, Yiying untied the rope, and her body immediately slipped off the heavenly horse, as if she couldn't stand on her feet anymore, but she used her bow as a cane, and staggered over step by step.

Hou stared at Yi Ying, the blood in his heart slipped down drop by drop, and his lips smiled sarcastically: "This is the bow and arrow I designed and forged for you." ”

"That's what you gave me, too!" Yi Ying ripped off the veil.

Her face was like a dried corpse, almost no flesh and blood, a layer of dry skin crumpled and stuck to the bones, but a pair of eyes were still like twenty-eight girls, looking forward to it, it was creepy.

There was a gurgling sound in his throat, and he didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry: "You save him?" You're here to save him? If it weren't for him, why wouldn't you and I be here?"

"Maybe you should say that without you, everything would be completely different!" Yi Ying looked at Jing with extremely complicated feelings in her eyes, she had hurt him repeatedly, but he forgave her, she had looked at that kindness with disdain as weakness, but she had also experienced heartbroken pain herself. She realized that hatred is simple, and forgiveness requires a strong and broad heart.

Yi Ying staggered towards Hou, "But it was you who I met first!" In May of that year, my female companion and I swam in Gaoxin, watching the people of Gaoxin put the lanterns, I didn't expect an accident, accidentally fell into the water, I can't swim in the water, but I was entangled by the water weed, it was you who saved me, you supported a flat boat, while taking me to watch the lanterns, while helping me find a companion, I see that you are not the first time to come to Gaoxin, ask you what to do in Gaoxin, you said, 'Come to see a woman, I heard that she came to see the lanterns', I knew that I was engaged, and I was slightly disappointed, and later, I found my companions, and you heard them call me 'Yiying', and suddenly asked, 'Are you Miss Fengfeng'? I said, 'Yes', you stared at me for a moment, and said with a smile, 'It turned out to be you'! After speaking, you held the boat and slid towards the sea of lights, I heard someone in the distance calling 'Tu Shan Gongzi', you answered, and the female companions all looked at me and laughed, we all thought that you were the Tu Shan Gongzi who was married to me, and came to see me. I looked in the direction of your departure, surprised and delighted, and the words 'It turned out to be you' echoed in my heart! I was preparing my wedding dress and happily waiting for the wedding, but the news came that you were seriously ill and that the wedding had been cancelled. My father inquired that you were not sick but missing, and I was reluctant to waste my carefully cultivated chess piece on a dead man, and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but I always saw your figure in front of me, the lanterns were like a sea, and you held up the boat, and said with a smile, 'It turned out to be you'! I ignored my father's objections, put on my wedding dress, and rushed all the way to Qingqiu, and the only thought was, I must find out your murderer, and whoever killed you, I will kill him for you! Although you did not marry me, I regarded myself as your wife and served my grandmother with all my heart, and when I was convinced that it was Tu Shanhou who had harmed you, I was determined to avenge you. When Hou returned, he managed to kill him. That day is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, you just finished a big business, returned from Xuanyuan City, I supported my grandmother to greet you, the house is full of lanterns, you carry a crystal lamp, slowly walking, I looked at you blankly, the roar in my ears is 'it turned out to be you'!"

Yi Ying tried her best to shoot the arrow, and at this time, Gu was talking, and then she couldn't walk steadily, she stumbled on the grass on her back and fell to the ground. She didn't care about wiping the mud off her face, and looked up at Hou: "At that moment, my hatred turned into joy, I don't care who you are or what you have done, as long as you are alive, I am very happy." ”

Yiying asked softly: "Hou, I just want to know, do you have a sincere heart for me?"

Hou sneered and said sarcastically: "People are going to die, what if they have sincerity, what if they don't have sincerity?"

Yi Ying climbed a few steps forward, stood up tremblingly, and she turned back to Jing and said, "I promised Hou to set up this trap, not to trap you, but to trap Hou." I told you before, I'm different from you, and I want him to pay back the person who failed me! Yao'er's poison has been cured, and I left a letter for him to let her know that his parents had done something wrong, and I hope that when he grows up, he can help me repay what I owe you. Jing, I'm sorry! It's not that you're bad, it's that you're too good! God knows I'm not worthy of you, so let me meet him first!"

Yi Ying walked in front of Hou, hugged Hou, and said in Hou's ear: "Whether you are sincere or false, anyway, you promised me to be a cross-necked mandarin duck and live and die together." She grabbed Hou's waist with one hand, and the arrow on Hou's back with the other, and sent it forward with all her strength, and the arrow passed through Hou's heart and inserted into her heart.

Although Hou received a fatal arrow, the aura in his body has not yet been dissipated, and he can completely push Yi Ying away, but I don't know if Hou didn't react, or if he was sincere to Yi Ying, he let Yi Ying hug him tightly. Hou seemed to know exactly what Yi Ying wanted to do, and when Yi Ying just held the arrow, he actually stretched out his hands and hugged Yi Ying tightly, and while pressing Yi Ying hard into his arms, he smiled at Jing and said: "This time, it's still unfair, and someone is helping you cheat!" Or my wife!"

When the arrow pierced Yiying's heart, Hou used all his remaining strength, rushed forward, and kicked Jing's heart fiercely: "Let's die together!"

Jing's body flew up and fell into the clear water.

That kick probably used up all of Hou's spiritual power, his eyes were open angrily, his breath was broken, but his body was still castrated, and he pounced forward like a fierce tiger in the mountains, and fell into the clear water with Yiying.

Yi Ying hugged him tightly, leaning on his arms, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

The two of them, who were connected by a cross-necked mandarin duck arrow, disappeared together in the rolling waves.

When Xiao Yao arrived at Qingshui Town, it was sunset.

A blood-stained wasteland: an untied Pegasus, leisurely nibbling on blades of grass; A blood-stained mandarin duck bow lay quietly in the grass, reflecting a little golden sunset on the bow. people, but not a single one.

Xiao Yao knows very well that Jing is not good at fighting with people at all, the gap between him and Hou is like the gap between the fox and the tiger in the mountains and forests, the tiger in the mountains and forests may not be able to catch the fox, but if the fox and the tiger duel head-on, it will definitely be a dead end. Hou keeps talking about fair dueling, but in fact, he uses his own strengths to compete with Jing's shortcomings, so that Jing will die whether he agrees or not.

But Xiao Yao didn't believe it, she told herself over and over again that Jing must be alive! Be alive! For in twenty-four days he was going to marry her, how could he not live?

Xiao Yao walked along the riverbank, constantly shouting, "Jing-Jing-" and no one responded to her.

Xiao Yao refused to give up, her voice was hoarse, and she still kept screaming, knelt in front of her in Jingye, and cried and said, "We have all searched, and there is no patriarch." ”

Hu Mu and Yu walked around in the barren grassland, Yu stayed on a pile of overwhelmed grass on the shore, Hu Mu said to Xiao Yao: "This is the blood of the patriarch, it should be because the nine-tailed fox with condensed spiritual power was cut off one by one, and the patriarch's five organs were severely damaged, and it was difficult to support it, so he fell here." ”

Hu Mu walked around, looked up at You, You shook his head, Hu Hou said: "This is the last place where the patriarch stayed, he was seriously injured, his movements will be very slow, no matter where he moves, he will leave a trace, unless ......" You nodded, Hu Mu pointed to Qing Shui and said: "Unless the patriarch jumped into the river from here." ”

Jingye said happily: "That means that the patriarch has escaped, and he must still be alive." ”

Jingye glanced at You, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to say. If the patriarch had escaped, then Hou should still be alive, but she smelled Hou's death. Hu Hou pointed to a long string of blood on the ground, which spread from a distance to the shore, "All this blood flowed out of Hou's heart, and when he reached the shore, there was no trace of life in the blood, indicating that his vitality had been broken." ”

Xiao Yao asked anxiously and fearfully: "Can you smell the death of Hou, then...... What about other people's?"

Hu Mu said: "The patriarch is the king of the fox clan, and you have no ability to judge his life and death." Hu Hou looked at Xiao Yao's face pale, his eyes were burning, as if he would cry out at any time, and he couldn't bear to add: "At present, there is only Hou, and I can't smell the dead air of the wind." ”

Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, you must have fallen into the river." ”

Hu Hou said: "The patriarch can't disappear out of thin air, this is the only possibility." ”

"I'll go find him!" Xiao Yao jumped into the river with a thud, and her figure was swept away by the waves in an instant.

Hu hoarse shouted: "Ships have been sent to look for it in the Shunhe River." ”

Jingye said in tears: "Let her go, if she is not allowed to do anything, she is only afraid that she will collapse." “

This night, the Qingshui River was brightly lit, some boats went downstream, some boats went upstream, searching back and forth in the river, and there were dozens of water demons who were proficient in water at the bottom of the river.

In the second half of the night, more boats and more water demons proficient in water rushed to Qingshui Town one after another to join the search team, and the Qingshui River was lively like a festival.

It was getting dark, the darkest hour of the day, and the coldest time of the day.

He was dressed in military uniform, and it was obvious that after hearing the news in the army, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he drove the fastest mount to gallop over.

Xiao Yao is still looking for Jing in the river, and she hasn't been out of the water since yesterday evening. She searched under the water, inch by inch, and even searched from Qingshui Town all the way to Renhaikou.

The boat brought Xiao Yao back to Qingshui Town, Xiao Yao refused to give up, and actually wanted to go upstream from Qingshui Town, everyone saw that Xiao Yao was exhausted, but no one could stop her. When Xiao Yao jumped into the river, her legs twitched and she couldn't swim at all, but she clung to the side of the boat tightly, just refusing to come up, as if as long as she stayed in the water, she could get closer to Jing and give Jing more life.

It wasn't until Zhen Xuan arrived that he forcibly took Xiao Yao out of the water.

Xiao Yao's face was pale, her lips were purple and black, her eyes were dull, her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks, and her whole person was as cold as ice. He pinched her cheeks, forced her to open her mouth, and poured a small pot of liquor into her, Xiao Yao leaned over and coughed violently, and the whole thing seemed to come to life.

Xiaoxiao wiped Xiao Yao's hair with a handkerchief, and used her spiritual power to dry her clothes. Zhen Xuan wrapped Xiao Yao in a blanket and wanted to carry her away. Xiao Yao's eyes glared in horror, and while shrinking back, he shook his head vigorously, and he was helpless, so he could only sit on the shore by Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao watched the boats on the river come and go blankly, no matter what Zhen Xuan said, she didn't seem to hear it, but after a while, she asked, "Did you find it?"

Until noon, Qing Shui was turned upside down, not only did he not find Jing, but he also did not find Hou and Yiying, and the only harvest was a jade bracelet. Qingbi nephrite, there is no carving, but the jade itself is good, the color is crystal clear, and the texture is delicate, because it has not yet been done, and the shape has not yet come out.

Jingye saw it and cried and said, "The patriarch said that the young lady doesn't like to wear jewelry, and it is not cumbersome to wear a bracelet, so I made this bracelet myself." ”

Xiao Yao stood up suddenly. He grabbed her and asked, "Where did you find it?"

A man parted from the crowd and stepped forward, saying, "In the lower reaches of the river, near the entrance to the sea." ”

Xiao Yao said eagerly: "Jing...... Jing is there!"

"Because they found this jade bracelet, the villains searched up and down again, and they didn't even let go of the big stones, but they found nothing. I think I floated down the water and into the sea. ”

"Then go find it in the ocean." Xiao Yao's voice was like a taut string, sharp and piercing.

Everyone didn't dare to say more, and said in a low voice: "I have already looked for everything near the mouth of the sea." ”

Whether it was the people of the Tu Shan clan or the people sent by Zhuan, they all tried their best to find the nearby sea area, but it was an endless sea, not to mention a person, even if a mountain was sunk into it, it was not easy to find. What's more, there are all kinds of fierce fish monsters in the sea, and the body of the Protoss contains aura, which is their favorite.

Zhen Xuan ordered: "Keep looking!"

"Yes!" Everyone got on the boat and went into the water, but after a while, all of them were empty.

Under the bright sunshine, the river was flooded with waves, rushing forward quickly, without delay, without a trace of sadness, without realizing that it was devouring the happiness of two people.

Xiao Yao staggered and said, "I'm going to find him!"

Zhen Xuan said: "Even if you go to find Jing, you have to eat something, how can you go to him if you don't have the strength?" Well, let's eat something first. ”

Xiao Yao wanted to break free from his hand, and stubbornly said, "I'm going to take revenge!"

Zhuan Xuan glanced at Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao immediately ran away, and after a while, she rocked a small boat over, and Zhuan Xuan flew to the boat with Xiaoxiao in her arms.

The boat headed downstream, Xiao Yao held the unfinished bracelet in his hand, staring blankly at the water, as if to see clearly what the river that ruthlessly took away Jing looked like.

Xiaoxiao's spiritual power is high, the boat moves fast, when the sun is setting in the west, the ship is close to the mouth of the sea, from the river to the sea, there are many ships, still searching around.

Xiaoxiao withdrew her spiritual power and let the boat slowly drift forward along the current.

Xiao Yao touched the bracelet and muttered, "Did you find the bracelet here?" Xiao Yao struggled to get up and wanted to jump into the water.

Zhen Yan grabbed her: "You can't even stand on your feet, what can you do when you go down?"

The boat shook for a while, and Xiao Yao fell softly into Zhuan's arms, but she still insisted on going into the water, staring at the water with her eyes: "I...... I...... Go find him!"

He grabbed her chin, lifted her head hard, forced her to look around, and almost roared, "Look at how many people are looking for him?" They are stronger than you, they are more familiar with the waters than you, they know how to find people underwater better than you, and if you go down, I will let them follow you and protect you, are you looking for people, or are you causing trouble for them?"

Xiao Yao's lips trembled, and her body trembled.

Zhen Xuan hugged her and softened his voice: "Xiao Yao, if Jing is still there, they will definitely be able to find it." ”

Xiao Yao stared closely at the people who were searching underwater, they worked in pairs, cooperating with each other, and they really didn't even spare an inch.

Xiaoxiao propped up the boat and slowly followed behind the people searching for Jing.

From the sun's westward setting until midnight, the boat had entered the deep sea.

It was a night without stars and no wind, the moon in the sky was bright, and the sea under the moonlight was very quiet. Thousands of people were still searching for Jing, because everyone was wearing the night pearls that Tu Shan had urgently transferred, and thousands of pearls were scattered in the sea, like thousands of stars, swaying and twinkling in the sea.

It has been two days and two nights since the fall into the water, and all the people who search and rescue know that there is no hope, but without the order of the emperor, no one dares to give up, and even dare not slack off.

Xiao Yao stared at the black sea and muttered, "I don't understand. Every time I made a mistake before, I knew what was wrong, some because he was benevolent, and some because I didn't believe in him and didn't grasp him, but this time we did something wrong? It wasn't wrong for him to rush to see a critically ill child, it wasn't wrong for him to take all the guards with him, it wasn't wrong for him to write to me before he left, it wasn't wrong for him to choose a duel in a duel that was immediately shot by random arrows and to delay time, I rushed to him as soon as I received his letter, and I wasn't wrong, so what was wrong?"

"None of you are wrong. ”

"If none of us are wrong, then why should we be wrong?"

He couldn't answer.

"We made mistakes before, and if we change them, everything will be fine, but what about this time? Brother, tell me: What did we do wrong? I change, I must change, no matter what I do wrong, I will change Xiaoyao's body leaning forward in pain, retching in her throat, she has not eaten for two days and two nights, she can't vomit anything at all, but she has been retching in pain, as if she wants to vomit all her internal organs.

"Xiao Yao Xiao Yao" Zhen Xiao Xiao lightly supported Xiao Yao's back, spiritual power can reduce the pain of the body, but it cannot alleviate Xiao Yao's pain, her pain is born from the heart.

The moon was quietly setting in the west, the sun was quietly peeking out from the east, and the fiery morning glow of the morning sun dyed the sky and the sea red.

A sergeant who looked like a commander came to report: "I have been searching for two nights and one day in a row, and many soldiers have fainted from spiritual exhaustion. Your Majesty, do you want to continue the search after a short rest, or do you want to gather people again?"

"After a short rest, continue to search. Then send the decree and send a thousand water tribe soldiers over. ”

The sergeant stopped talking, and after a moment, he bent over and promised: "Yes!"

Exhausted soldiers climbed into the boat to rest, not even having the strength to drink water, and lay on the deck.

Many people fainted one after another, and from time to time they heard shouts: "Doctor! Doctor!"

Some of them didn't even have the strength to climb onto the boat, and when they were halfway up, they fell into the sea again, and they fell down with all the soldiers behind them.

Perhaps because of the presence of the Emperor, no one dared to make a sound, and even if they fell, they were only pale and gritted their teeth, and climbed up again.

Xiao Yao stared at them blankly for a moment, and then set his eyes on the boundless sea.

The sea is so vast and immense, even if the army of the whole country is poured into the great wilderness, it is only a drop in the ocean.

She can't find Jing anymore!

Xiao Yao whispered, "Let them stop looking." ”

"Perhaps, Jing will be saved by a fishing boat; Perhaps, he will run into the merman and be sent back to land by the merman. ”

Xiao Yao's tears fell like pearls with broken threads: "There are twenty-two days left, it is our wedding day, he hurried up and still came back." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yao suddenly fell straight forward, and Zhen Yao hurriedly reached out and grabbed her. After two days and two nights without food and rest, and grief, Xiao Yao finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

Zhen Yu carefully wrapped Xiao Yao in a blanket, took her in his arms, and looked at her carefully.

Xiao Yao's face was blue, his lips were white, and it seemed that the whole person had lost his shape for two nights, and he felt that his chest was stuffy and painful, he looked at the brilliant morning glow in the sky, took a deep breath, and slowly spit out: "Xiao Yao, everything will pass, sooner or later you will forget him!"

Xiao Yao was in a coma for four days, Yin said that everything was normal in her body, but she seemed to be seriously ill and unconscious, even in a coma, she would tremble painfully, but she just couldn't wake up.

Zhen Xuan was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he had no choice but to stay by Xiao Yao's side.

After four days and four nights, Xiao Yao finally woke up, and the whole person was thin and thin, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Zhen Yao was also so tired that he lost a lot of weight, he wanted to take Xiao Yao back, but Xiao Yao refused, and Zhen Yao had to accompany Xiao Yao to stay by the East China Sea for more than ten days.

Xiaoyao is waiting every night, she will go to the sea every day, and there is no way to take her, so she can only send Xiaoxiao to follow her day and day.

Until the 11th, there are still four days, which is the wedding period of Jing and Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao said to Zhen Yao: "I want to go back to Shennong Mountain." ”

When Xiao Yao saw the Yellow Emperor, he asked, "Grandpa, has my wedding dress been modified?"

The Yellow Emperor said, "Okay. ”

"All the dowry?"

"It's loaded."

Xiao Yao seemed to be relieved and went back to her house.

The Yellow Emperor's face was gloomy, looking at the green mountains not far away. There had just been a thunderstorm in the morning, the green hills were green, and there was a lot of water in the fields below the mountain, and a group of egrets were looking down and looking up for food.

The Yellow Emperor stood silent for a long time before he asked, "Jing is dead?"

He said, "It's dead." ”

The Yellow Emperor closed his eyes and stood still for a moment, as if he was suddenly very tired, and his old age was fully revealed, and he bent over. Walking into the house: "These days, you are wasted in political affairs. ”

Zhen Xuan said: "I am not abandoned in political affairs, even on the East China Sea, I still dare not slack off every day, let Xiaoxiao look at Xiaoxiao during the day, I can only accompany her at night." ”

The Yellow Emperor said tiredly, "It's best if you know what you're doing." Tu Shan's business is all over the Great Wilderness, and the sudden accident of the patriarch will not only affect the major clans of the Great Wilderness, but if you don't handle it well, it will even affect the entire Great Wilderness, and the current peace will be in danger. ”

He stood in the courtyard for a while, jumped on his mount, and rushed back to the Purple Gold Peak, unable to rest, but immediately summoned several important ministers and henchmen.

On the night of the 14th, the moon in the sky seemed to be full, and there was still no news of Jing.

The hall is deserted, without the slightest appearance of sending relatives, but the festive decorations that have been arranged early are still there, no one dares to use them, and no one dares to take them off, everyone is trying to pretend that there is nothing special tomorrow, and it is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yao woke up from a dream, as if she heard someone knocking on the window, she jumped to the ground barefoot, jumped to the window in a few steps, and opened the window: "Jing...... Jing, are you back?"

Miao Pu held the pearl lamp in one hand and the clothes in the other: "Miss, it's just the sound of the wind blowing the branches." ”

Xiao Yao felt dizzy and unsteady, she leaned against the window and muttered, "Isn't it really him?"

Under the bright moonlight, there is no view outside the window, only flowers and trees, and no human figures. Xiao Yao was disappointed and sad, and asked Youyou, "Miao Pu, why do you say I didn't dream of Jing Yi once?"

Miao Pu put his clothes on Xiao Yao's body, and took embroidered shoes for Xiao Yao, not knowing how to answer Xiao Yao's question, so he could only say vaguely: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Xiao Yao looked up at the moon and said, "I miss him very much." Even if you can't see it, it's good to see it in your dreams. ”

Miao Pu's nose was sour, she followed Xiao Yao's side, watching Xiao Tian and Jing not easy to go all the way, she thought that everything was going to be complete, but something happened suddenly.

Xiao Yao said: "Probably because I didn't see it with my own eyes, everything didn't seem real, and I always felt that he would appear at any time." Why does a person disappear when they can say disappear? Why didn't he say goodbye to me? I'd rather he die in my arms, so that the two of them can say the last thing they want to say, but what kind of nickname is this? The first day I received a handwritten letter from him, telling me to sleep well and not to read at night, but the next day, everyone said that he was gone. How is it possible, I don't believe it! Why didn't he tell me? I hate him!" Xiao Yao shouted at the moon: "Tu Shanjing, I hate you!"

The night breeze was gentle, and the silver plate was silent.

Xiao Yao hung her head weakly, and tears fell like rain: "However, I can't bear to hate you, I know that if you can't keep the contract, you must be in pain." ”

Miao Pu quietly wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves: "Don't think about it, sleep!"

Xiao Yao said to Miao Pu: "Go and get the Fusang branch of Tanggu." ”

Miao Pu couldn't guess what Xiao Yao wanted to do, so he didn't ask, and immediately ran to get it.

When she came back, Xiao Yao was standing under the porch, carrying a ladder. Miao Pu took the Fusang branch wrapped in jade to Xiao Yao: "Miss, bring it." Be careful, this thing seems to have no fire, but it is actually all fire, and your hand should be held on the jade outside. ”

Xiao Yao put the ladder, took the Fusang branch, climbed to the top of the ladder, and lit the big red lantern under the corridor with the Fusang branch.

Xiao Yao jumped off the ladder and wanted to move it.

Miao Pu already understood what Xiao Yao wanted to do, and immediately said, "I'll come!" She was a secret guard trained by Zhuan, and her spiritual power was so strong that she easily moved the ladder under another lantern.

Xiao Yao climbed up and lit the lantern.

In the quiet and dark night, Miao Pu accompanied Xiao Yao, one to carry a ladder, the other to light a lantern, and light the red lanterns in the Zhangguo Hall one by one.

Under the corridor, in front of the door, in the pavilion, the bridgehead lanterns are hung in different places, the appearance is all kinds of harmony, round, octagonal, square materials are also various, sheepskin, shark silk, glass, hibiscus are made, no matter what kind of lanterns, are the same color - auspicious and festive red.

As the red lanterns lit up, the entire Zhangguo Hall was shrouded in a hazy red light, adding a bit of excitement and joy.

Light up the last two red lanterns in front of the temple gate, Xiao Yao jumped down the ladder, looked at the joy of the hall, and said to Miao Pu: "Okay!"

Back in the house, Miao Pu saw that there was a green shadow under Xiao Yao's eyes, and persuaded: "It's about to dawn, Miss hurry up and rest!"

Xiao Yao sat in front of the mirror and said to Miao Pu, "Help me make up." ”

During these days, Xiao Yao is too lazy to eat, how many times has he dressed up? Miao Pu was stunned for a moment, understood Xiao Yao's intentions, she endured her sadness and said, "Yes!"

Miao Pu didn't know how to comb the bun of the bride's wife, and it would only be combed by a specially trained old woman, but because Jing had an accident, the old woman who was supposed to come didn't come. Miao Pu combed Xiao Yao's favorite weeping cloud bun, and inserted the step shake that Jing had given to Xiao Yao before.

Xiao Yao looked in the mirror, worked with Miao Pu, and put on a light makeup for herself.

Xiao Yao asked, "Where's my wedding dress?"

Miao Pu opened the cage, took out the wedding dress embroidered with gold on a red background, and called out with some hesitation: "Miss?"

Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and said with certainty: "I want to wear it!"

Miao Pu gritted his teeth, unfolded his wedding dress, and served Xiao Yao to dress.

Since the relocation of the capital to Yiyi, the west and the Central Plains of the clothing and ornaments have gradually merged, Xiaoyao's wedding dress has both the strengths of the two, there is Shennong's exquisite and prosperous, but also Xuanyuan's concise and smooth, after wearing, solemn and beautiful, but does not affect the action.

After cleaning up, Xiao Yao sat quietly on the couch like a bride waiting to be married.

Xiao Yao asked: "Miao Pu, do you know when the auspicious time is?"

"I don't know."

"Do you think Jing knows?"

"Sure."

"That's good."

Xiao Yao took a silk book from the couch, and actually flipped through the medical book, Miao Pu stood in a daze for a while, went out and brought some soup and pastries, and placed them on the small table beside Xiao Yao.

At noon, the Yellow Emperor came to the Zhanggu Palace and saw Xiao Yao sitting on the couch in a wedding dress, the brightness of the wedding dress and the quiet loneliness of reading medical books formed a strange contrast.

In the middle of summer, the bright sunlight sprinkled in from the window lively, shining on Xiao Yao's body, but it did not reflect auspicious wishes and a good life, but life and death, and a lifetime of love.

How much Xiao Yao looks like her with her eyes lowered! The Yellow Emperor seemed to see the little boy in front of him guarding a lonely room and growing old quickly, the green silk was dyed with flying frost, the flower-like face was withered, and the old and lonely figure in the Chaoyun Hall coincided with the little girl in front of him, the Yellow Emperor couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and suddenly closed his eyes.

Xiao Yao heard the voice, looked up, and saw that it was the Yellow Emperor, and she looked at the corona outside the window.

The Yellow Emperor walked into the house, saw that the pastries and soup on the small table had not moved at all, and said, "Xiaoyao, accompany me to eat something." ”

Xiao Yao retracted his gaze, picked up a piece of pastry, and ate it little by little.

The Yellow Emperor accompanied Xiao Yao from noon until it was dark, and Miao Pu turned on the pearl lights one by one.

Because of Jing's sudden death, Zhen Xuan was very busy these days.

When he was done with the business at hand, it was already dark, and he didn't care about eating, so he rushed to Xiaoyueding.

Xiao Yao has been in the Zhangguo Hall all these days, and he also went straight to the Zhangguo Palace, and when the mount was still in the air, he saw that the Zhangguo Hall was shrouded in a festive red.

When I flew closer, I saw that from the front of the door, under the corridor to the bridge, the lanterns at the corner of the pavilion were lit, and all kinds of lanterns illuminated all kinds of festive activities.

The mount landed in front of the main hall, and he jumped off the mount and asked with a gloomy face, "What's the matter?"

Xiaoxiao bent over and played, "It was the young lady who lit it last night." "The best utensils were used for the day's arrangement, and the oil in these lanterns burned for nine days.

Zhen Xuan quietly stared at the row of red lanterns under the corridor, Xiaoxiao held her breath and did not move.

After a while, Zhen Xuan's expression gradually eased, and he stepped to Xiaoyao's bedroom.

Xiaoxiao immediately knelt down and played carefully: "Miss has changed into a wedding dress and put on makeup." ”

Zhen Xuan stopped suddenly, his face turned pale, and he asked word by word: "She put on a wedding dress?"

"Yes!"

Xiaoxiao didn't go forward, but she didn't turn back, Xiaoxiao bent over and knelt, her forehead was close to the ground, she couldn't see her, but she could hear her heavy breathing, and between exhaling and inhaling, Xiaoxiao's body was trembling slightly.

After a while, he turned around, jumped on his mount without saying a word, and left the hall.

Xiaoxiao was paralyzed on the ground, and only then did she dare to spit out a breath that she had been holding, and a dense layer of cold sweat had already broken out on her back.

Xiaoxiao walked into the dormitory and said to the Yellow Emperor and Xiao Yao: "His Majesty the Black Emperor has something important to deal with, so he won't come tonight, and I will come to see Your Majesty and Miss tomorrow." ”

Xiao Yao's mind was not there at all, and he didn't react at all. The Yellow Emperor stared at Xiaoxiao deeply, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and motioned for her to go out.

Xiao Yao asked in a low voice, "Is it that Jichen has passed?"

The Yellow Emperor said: "Xiao Yao, Jing will not come back, your life is still very long, you forget him!"

Xiao Yao said: "Grandpa, I want to rest, you go back to rest!"

The Yellow Emperor looked at Xiao Yao worriedly, and Xiao Yao said, "I'm fine, I'm just ...... It takes time. ”

The Yellow Emperor watched Xiao Yao silently for a while, stood up, and staggered out of the room.

Xiao Yao walked to the window and looked at the full moon in the sky.

Wangri is the day of the full moon, Jing chose this day to get married, should want their marriage to be fulfilled, right? But it turned out to be the reunion moon and the reunion people.

Xiao Yao told the Yellow Emperor that she just needed time, but how long was this time? How long will it take to be heart-free?

Xiao Yao asked: "Miao Pu, how long do you think it will take for me to stop being heartbroken?"

Miao Pu said: "It's probably like being seriously injured, it always hurts at first, but slowly, the wound scarred, and the pain is lighter, and then later, the scar slowly falls off, and it doesn't hurt much." ”

Xiao Xiao's head, she is not uninjured, she knows very well how not to be in pain.

If you want not to suffer, you have to forget! Time is like yellow sand, which can always bury everything in people's hearts.

But—

Jing, I don't want to!

If the price of pain is to forget you, I would rather be miserable all the time, and I will let you live forever in my heart and know the end of my life.

I have put on my wedding gown and bowed to the moon, and from this night onwards I will be your wife!"
