Chapter 543: Old Tunes and Present Legends
When the words landed, the dark dungeon instantly lost its sound, leaving only Sima Cheng's deep voice, which seemed to linger in his ears.
"There is indeed such a possibility...... the corners of Pigu Wenji's mouth raised slightly, "However, Sima Gongzi doesn't remember anything, is it a little hasty to be willing to accept the identity of a Xianbei person just by relying on a string of stones?" ”
There was no crying and weeping after a long absence, Sima Cheng's face was calm, and his words were more questioning than confirmation, which also made Pigu Wenji wake up from the "coincidence".
"It's good that Miss Pigu can think like this......" Sima Cheng responded.
At this point, the dungeon was quiet again, and the maid on the side could not understand Chinese, but looking at the young lady who had always been straightforward, in front of her "younger brother", she showed an embarrassed look, and felt very incomprehensible.
Thinking that before, the young lady was still worried about the affairs of the eldest prince, and the maid was a little uncontrollable, so she asked:
"Miss, what's wrong with you? This Bidianzi is clearly from the hand of the lady, Xianbei up and down, and only the lady will have the patience to grind the stone so round. “
"I think ...... too However, he said that he fell into the water and lost his memory, and he didn't remember what happened before, let alone this Bidianzi. Pigu Wenji frowned, "Moreover, you also heard his tone just now, and it seems that he still doesn't look down on my identity." “
Pi Gu Yi's clan, in fact, was also a royal family in the Xianbei tribe, but in the process of fighting for power, because he stood on the wrong faction, which provoked the other party to chase and kill, on the way to escape, Pi Gu Wenji died his mother and lost his younger brother.
Back then, when his younger brother fell into the water, Pigu Wenji and his father did not look for it, but the river was turbulent and there were many tributaries, and trying to find the person who fell into the water was like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.
"What...... Miss, you were also a princess, and you were also a member of the royal family when you arrived in Dai, even if he used to be a prince, but now he is a hostage, you are here to help him, and you are still so tough. Thinking that Sima Cheng couldn't understand Xianbei language, the maid didn't shy away from it.
As the maid said, the Xianbei tribe has a long history, and gradually separated in the process of development, the Pigu clan stayed in place, and the Tuoba clan of the other branch went north to become today's Dai country, retrospectively, the two are still of the same origin.
Pi Gu Wenji waved her hand, signaling the maid to stop talking, she always felt guilty about her brother who fell into the water, looking at Sima Cheng, she was not as angry as the maid, but a little distressed.
Regardless of whether Sima Cheng is his younger brother or not, facing the young man in front of him, Pi Gu Wenji still has some complexity in her heart.
I heard that the people of the Central Plains look down on the Hu people, although Pigu Wenji can't experience it personally, but at this moment, she is in Ding Xicheng of the Qianren, even if she has a similar face, she has received a lot of cold eyes because she is of a different race, and she is still accompanied by relatives, but Sima Cheng is alone to bear everything.
Pi Gu Wenji crossed her hands in front of her chest, looked at Sima Cheng fixedly, and after a long time, she said softly:
"Did you say that the way he spoke just now was a little similar to his mother......
Pigu Wenji's mother is from the Central Plains, so the three of them are not typical Xianbei people, and their bodies are not as tall and strong as most Hu people.
On the way to Ding Xicheng, Sima Cheng often went hungry, even more so in the dungeon, so his body looked thinner.
Born from the heart, Sima Cheng has lived in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and there is less roughness between his eyebrows and eyes, so at first glance, Pigu Wenji just thinks that he is a Han man with deeper facial features.
"Madame is not like that!" The maid immediately retorted, "Madame is kind and her voice is extraordinarily gentle. ”
"Hmm......" Pi Gu Wenji smiled comfortably, and suddenly hummed something, "Especially, when singing this ballad......"
After Pigu Wenji finished speaking, she seemed to be stuck in a memory and was silent for a while, however, it was such a silence that made Sima Cheng's heart feel like numbness.
The Hu language used by the two should be the most comfortable and understood by Sima Cheng since he was arrested, and what surprised him even more was that he felt very familiar with the two tones that Pi Gu Wenji casually hummed just now.
Sima Cheng tried hard to recall, but the more he thought about it, the back of his head began to ache faintly, this time he didn't give up, and it was the only time that Sima Cheng was so eager to think of his former self.
The pain intensified, beads of sweat oozed from Sima Cheng's forehead, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
At this moment, Sima Cheng had already begun to be unconscious, he closed his eyes, and the whole person fell directly into the arms of Pigu Wenji.
Pigu Wenji was stunned for a while, however, when she looked at Sima Cheng who closed her eyes quietly and lay in her arms, her pupils were slightly dilated, and the afterimages in her mind overlapped with reality - the child was running on the grassland, and when she was tired of running, her younger brother slept on her sister's shoulder.
"You...... Are you okay! Seeing Sima Cheng's pale face, Pi Gu Wenji's heart tightened, and she shouted in Hu language.
In the past, Pigu Wenji didn't have time to think, and right now, she had only one thought in her heart, hoping that Sima Cheng could quickly open her eyes, no matter who he was, she would save him.
I don't know if it's because Pi Gu Wenji is the daughter of the Hu people, and when she shakes Sima Cheng's body, she is full of strength, but she sees Sima Cheng frowning slightly, and suddenly muttered in a trance.
"Ege Banner ......"
The voice was not loud, but Pi Gu Wenji could not hear it more clearly, her eyes immediately turned red, and because of her weakness, Sima Cheng's voice was so soft that she remembered the past again.
"Ege flag" in Xianbei language, is the meaning of sister.
……
After a day, Sima Cheng opened his eyes again, he looked around, he was the only one left in the dark dungeon, he moved his stiff shoulders and neck, and the successive "clicks" sounded, accompanied by a faint pain.
It was not the first time that Sima Cheng had fainted, he didn't remember what had happened before, and he still had a slightly dazed look on his face.
However, as soon as he raised his head, the pain in the back of his head unceremoniously reminded him, Sima Cheng thoughtfully moved his arm and found that his body was also a lot more comfortable, and when he looked down, although it was still an old clothes with blood stains, the wounds inside seemed to have been treated.
That day, he had a splitting headache and fainted, so he couldn't remember the specific details clearly, and it should be handled by Pigu Wenji, Sima Cheng thought.
Seeing that there was no one around, Sima Cheng estimated that he had fallen asleep, and Pigu Wenji left, and he was bored alone, so he slowly closed his eyes.
However, just like this, Sima Cheng inexplicably sounded a humming sound in his ears, which was a minor tune that Pi Gu Wenji had hummed before.
Sima Cheng remembered that the last time he heard this tune, he was hit by Sima Lie's poisonous arrow, and when he was asleep, the woman and the child were talking in the dream, and this tune sounded during the period.
Perhaps, this is a ballad in the depths of memory, which was often given to him by his mother when he was a child, and he was not called Sima Cheng at that time.
The dungeon was silent, Sima Cheng was contemplating it, at this moment, he was already standing in the center of the intersection, he weighed, planned, and wanted to regain control of the overall situation.
In this way, I don't know how long it took, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in Sima Cheng's ears.
