Chapter 040: Xiling Snow
The warm water rushed in with the petals, and Downing choked on the water and coughed repeatedly, struggling to surface.
But the people in the water didn't let go.
She opened her eyes, and the pink petals flickered.
The hard bottom of the pool is at your feet.
Tang Ning calmed down, stepped on it, stood in the water, and raised his hand to wipe the water droplets from his face. Wet hair, wet clothes, she was already soaking wet.
The teenager on the other side, without saying a word, trapped her on the shore.
The water seems to be getting colder.
Soggy teenage girl, naked teenager.
The two of them stood facing each other, obviously very close, but they couldn't give birth to a little charm in their hearts. Downing's black hair was tangled with his silver strands.
She finally saw clearly that the word imprinted on his chest was a seal script "Tang".
The dark red traces, I don't know whether they were burned or engraved, look so eye-catching.
Her surname has such a hideous side.
The droplets of water hanging on the tip of the nose "ticked" down, rippling a few small ripples. The symbol-like characters were telling her what kind of person the ancestor named "Tang Luzhi" was.
The so-called man will only leave a name on his possessions.
My word.
My paintings.
My clothes.
Mine, my ...... It's all mine.
Marked with a name, it is something unique and unique to me.
Downing looked at the word, lowered his hand, and let the pool flood her sleeve. The blood stains, which had originally dried into a ball, spread out little by little in the water, and the faint red was not even as rich as the pink petals.
But for Garan, the winding blood has an unimaginable aroma.
He looked at Tang Ning coldly.
It's just a wound, what can she do if she sees it?
As long as you get back what you stole by Tang Luzhi and regain your strength, this shame will soon disappear.
Why is he hiding?
Frustration welled up in my heart.
He let go of his hand and leaned to the side.
The water in the pool is undulating and the petals are drifting.
Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head. The long, thick black hair became heavy when it was wet with water. With a "bang", she scooped up her long hair hanging in the water and twisted it twice.
There are petals hiding inside, tangled in the hair and refusing to let go.
Tang Ning frowned and grabbed it, but he couldn't take it out after grabbing it for a long time, so he had to loosen his hair again.
Jia Lan stood beside her and looked sideways at her: "More than six hundred years have passed, why are there only so many people in the Tang family?" ”
Tang Ning grabbed his hair with one hand, and blinked his eyes when he heard the words: "People are not happy, is it a strange thing?" ”
Six hundred years, used to spread the branches, it seems that there can indeed be many people, but the Tang clan of Leizhou ......
Tang Ning recalled, and said: "According to the records of the clan, Tang Luzhi only has one son and one daughter. The daughter is going to get married, and the child born is naturally no longer surnamed Tang; As for the son, he was weak and sickly since he was a child, and when he grew up and married a wife, he left only one child. ”
"But that boy had many sons."
But I don't know if it's because the Tang family's ancestral house has poor feng shui or bad luck, his piles of sons are all very short-lived. Those who survived did not seem to have the life of more sons. It is useless to marry a wife and take a concubine, and a group of people are stuffed in the back house. ”
"Since then, the Tang family has not been very prosperous, and it was not until my grandfather's generation that my father and brothers were born."
Tang Ning said: "You know the rest, my father disappeared ten years ago, I am the only daughter in the family, and I have no siblings at all. In my uncle's family, there is only one Tang Xin left......"
"That's not right." Jia Lan's voice was slightly deep, "What you said is just Tang Luzhi's lineage. ”
"But as far as I know, Tang Luzhi is the youngest son in the family, and there should be a brother and sister above."
"Those people are also surnamed Tang."
He left the shore and faced Downing.
Tang Ning was suddenly a little speechless.
Tang Luzhi's brother and sister?
If he hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.
Tang Luzhi is a lineage, which was moved from Xiling during the Great Liang Dynasty. Before that, Tang Luzhi and his blood relatives had been living in Xiling. But for some reason, after he moved over, he gradually stopped interacting with the Xiling Tang clan.
Up to now, hundreds of years have passed, and Tang Ning is not even sure if there are still descendants of the Tang family in Xiling.
She pulled up her long wet hair loosely and said in a low voice: "What you said is right, those people are indeed surnamed Tang, but those people are the people who broke off contact with their ancestors, I only know that they should have stayed in Xiling back then." ”
When Jia Lan heard the word "Xiling", his face was a little ugly.
The last time he heard it, he didn't remember it, but in fact...... He's been to Westling.
In my memory, it was a rich city with beautiful scenery, but the weather was very cold.
When it snowed in winter, he curled up in the house where the earth dragon had burned, and he was still shivering from the cold. The maids didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, and had snowball fights in the yard with red faces.
His father walked in and wrapped him in a thick coat.
Someone in the courtyard was laughing, and calling his name with a smile - "Jia Lan, good Jia Lan, come out to enjoy the snow...... The voice gradually became softer, and his father picked him up.
He still looked like a child, lying on his father's shoulder.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, he turned his head, saw the people in the pavilion, and thought to himself, although Xiling was very cold, he really wanted to live here for the rest of his life.
White snow that fell on my father's silver hair.
The world is vast, and the hot tea is rolling.
He didn't feel like a monster at all.
On the stone table were his favorite dim sums, each one fragrant and crispy.
At that time, he really felt that Shifang was not important at all.
But the snow has been falling, endlessly, what hot tea, dim sum, Xiling...... All frozen into an icy mass.
With a flick of your fingertips, the world shatters.
The water in the bath seems to be as cold as ice.
Garan walked out of the bath, and immediately there was rustling footsteps at the door.
The little boys in black walked through the crack in the door, each holding a large pile of things in their hands.
Downing saw two familiar faces.
The head of the melon skin is expressionless.
It was the child who had been brought to her by Ah Fu to make clothes for her.
When they saw her, they walked straight towards the bath, and they didn't speak, but they just held their new clothes, and the other tried to grab her arm.
Tang Ning hurriedly avoided and said, "No, no, I'll come out later, you can just put down your clothes." ”
The two little boys looked at each other, nodded, and put their clothes in a dry place near the bath.
Tang Ning stood in the water, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly saw Jia Lan who was dressing.
The dark clothes are very similar to what Xie Xuan wore before, and I don't know if this group of little boys stole the master's clothes to entertain guests......
Just as he was thinking, Garan turned around.
The silver-haired young man in black clothes is so handsome that people are full of evil thoughts.
