Chapter Seventy-One: Life for Life?
At the end of our walk, Qi Yun pulled me to my courtyard with a familiar way, and saw a trace of sweetness in his heart when he saw the Buddha beads on his wrist.
"Are you going to leave this time?" I hesitated and couldn't help asking.
Qi Yun didn't answer directly, but snorted slightly, and then asked me if I was reluctant to him or something, I quickly forgot about this stubble when he made trouble, and chased and fought with a smile, and in an instant Tianfu was lively again.
"I've seen the young master" Fu Yan saluted Qi Yun respectfully, and I was about to speak when I was interrupted by Qi Yun.
"Since you are already Ding'er's younger brother, don't call me any more young masters, just call me brother-in-law" Qi Yun taught him a serious lesson, not caring about my angry eyes at all.
Fu Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth as if he was doing vocal exercises, and held back for a long time before he called out, "Sister... Brother-in-law"
Qi Yun raised his hand, "It's good to get used to it, go back and practice again, I'll say a few words to your sister, you can go outside and play."
Hearing this, Fu Yan's little face stiffened, there was no doubt that Qi Yun's way of treating children hit Xiao Yanyan, and he secretly made up his mind to strengthen his body and jump this child up as soon as possible, like an adult.
After Fu Yan left, Qi Yun began to lose his shape, took me into his arms, tightly clamped me, I instinctively struggled a few times and gave up, this familiar and reassuring feeling, I miss it too much, let me also be a little woman!
We quietly hugged each other and felt each other's heartbeats. Every time we meet again after separation, we don't feel like ourselves anymore......
"Don't leave me, okay?" When I said this, my throat was slightly sour, this is not a topic I want to continue to entangle, blurted out maybe I am too afraid of being alone, as if I am incomplete when Qi Yun is not there.
Qi Yun frowned slightly, looked at me with some distress, stared at me for a while, raised his hands and gently covered my face, domineering and affectionate kisses came all over the sky, I responded hard, wrapped my hands around his neck, this time he still didn't answer.
We stayed in the room until Sakura came and kicked the door to find out that it was already noon, and the time passed so quickly!
As soon as the door was opened, Taozi knelt straight at the door, and on the side was Sakura, who was blushing angrily, no need to guess to know, it must be Sakura who was going to knock on the door, Taozi stopped him, and after he won the battle, the honest Taozi knelt when he felt that it was not good to do things.
"Get up, my dad is not here, don't kneel at every turn" Qi Yun looked at Taozi with hatred and steel, and after the lesson, he still couldn't bear it, so he took a hand.
"Taozi, if you see Sakura in the future, don't pay attention to her, if she wants to come in, you just let her in, the more you don't let her get more and more energetic, you know?" I patted Taozi on the shoulder, and he nodded slightly.
Sakura over there was not happy, and looked at me fiercely, "Who are you talking about?" Why don't you let him take care of me, why am I getting more and more energetic? Sakura pounced on me and shouted, "You make it clear to me"
I was so frightened that I lifted the corner of my skirt and was about to slip away, but Qi Yun pulled me, protected me behind me, looked at Ying'er provocatively, and joked, "If you hurt my baby, I will send Taozi back to Qicheng tomorrow, and never let him come again."
When Ying'er heard this, she really stopped, stared at Qi Yun very unwillingly, and looked at Taozi again, and looked at him sweating profusely.
"Hmph, you will only bully me, and I don't want to think about who will protect her when you are away, hmph" Sakura pointed at me angrily, turned her head and left.
I patted Qi Yun's arm, "You, this girl is really sad"
Qi Yun looked at me with a smile, "It's okay, just go back and let Taozi coax it."
On the one hand, Taozi was full of black lines, but he was helpless......
"Just now at dinner, my father seems to have something to say to you, "I pulled Qi Yun, this guy is stuck to me, and if I don't care about it, my reputation will be ruined."
Qi Yun pouted cutely, "My father-in-law may be afraid that I will bully you, so he must have warned me about something."
"Fart, you just hide it from me, you have the ability to hide it from me for a lifetime" I angrily clubbed Qi Yun in the stomach and strode away. I'm angry not because they don't want to tell me, but because I, as a woman in the 21st century, their machismo pokes me in the heart, my way of life, my abilities they don't know, do they also think that I am no different from today's boudoir women? Besides, it is really arrogant enough to say that the affairs of the court affect the whole body, how can it have nothing to do with us.
Thinking of this, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I quickened my pace.
"Ding'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly get angry" Qi Yun chased behind him and shouted, there was a hint of impatience in his tone, this Nima I was even more angry, and I was so angry that I flew up.
I went straight to Zhengyuan Pavilion, and Qi Yun wanted to follow.
I tilted my head slightly, and my tone was a little cold, "If you want to add fuel to the fire, you can continue to follow"
Qi Yun didn't dare to follow anymore, he honestly leaned against the wall, looked at me innocently, and in anger, this trick was not good for me at all.
I wildly pushed open the old man's door, and the old man was so frightened by me that the chessboard trembled.
"What's the matter, auntie, who made you angry, didn't that kid from the Qi family come back? Why are you getting more and more tempered," Tan Fang quipped.
"Hmph, I'm not going to be so angry if he doesn't come" I rolled my eyes and sat down across from Tan Fang, swinging my little short legs.
"What does that mean?" Tan Fang pulled the chess game back, afraid that I would cause secondary damage to it.
I grabbed a chess piece casually, and disrupted the existing chess pieces with a smile, and Tan Fang's face darkened. If cannibalism wasn't illegal, he would have eaten me, but then he looked at the chessboard and was surprised, "This... This... The peak turns around, and it comes back from the dead."
"What's the matter, am I hitting the right one?" I tilted my head and couldn't see anything subtle.
"You see, this black piece was supposed to die, and the black piece you just threw landed in this position..... Uh, forget it, you don't understand, what are you going to complain about? "Tan Fang seems to like the new vocabulary I taught him earlier, and he uses it quite frequently.
I sighed and leaned down in my crotch, "Master, do you think that people in this era think that women are inferior to men?" Is it true that women have no right to speak, and can only revolve around firewood, rice, oil, and salt? ”
Tan Fang shook his head and said suspiciously, "No matter what the current situation of this era is, don't you have enough say in your Tian family?" Aren't all the people in the Tian family revolving around you, and the kid from the Qi family, aren't they all looking forward to you? ”
"They didn't, they hid everything from me, and they didn't think it was necessary to tell me. Please, I'm wise, okay? ”
"What else can they hide from you? I don't believe it," Tan Fang looked at me with an expression of "you are exaggerating".
"I can't say clearly, but I have an intuition that our family and the Qi family have been mixed into this big dye vat, although at the beginning we tried to escape again and again, but we escaped and fell deeper and deeper" This makes me very distressed, and this multi-party duel, there are naturally winners and losers, once we lose, the price...... I can't imagine it
"Girl, there are some things that you can't escape. Let it be, they don't tell you naturally they have some concerns, you, do you know that great wisdom is foolish" Tan Fang knocked on my forehead, pretending to be very profound.
"Stupid? Are you stupid? I'm just annoying you guys, it's okay, I can't make sense with you, I'll find a place to become a monk, and I'll be cleaner" I put on my heels impatiently, and waved my hand casually to say goodbye to Tan Fang.
As soon as I walked to the playground, the sisters were embroidering while talking about the private words of the boudoir, and when they saw me coming, they covered their mouths, obviously embarrassed to talk in front of a big girl, I nodded at them, and took my leave.
Suddenly I was caught from behind, I thought it was Qi Yun, naturally struggling hard, thinking that our business is not over yet, you are still stalking me in anger?
finally turned back halfway, but what I saw in the afterglow was a red pupil, and my heart jumped suddenly, I don't know why I was always afraid for no reason when I saw him.
I feigned composure and pulled myself together. "Well, Lord Red Pupil, why are you free to come, and you don't find someone to inform me in advance, I'll find someone to prepare some refreshments for you first, our family's refreshments, that's a must" I was talking to myself endlessly, and the person who came didn't listen to a word at all, just stared at me with a smile, and looked at it for a long time before saying: "What you are looking for, there is a whereabouts"
Snow lotus seeds? "Where?" At this time, I didn't care about my hand, and I was slightly red when I was dragged by the red pupils.
"Are you coming with me?" Chi Tong didn't answer me, he actually wanted to take me away immediately, I instinctively went to look for Qi Yun's figure, this little bastard was still hanging around here just now, this person is gone? It seems that "love will really disappear", and you can't count on anything at a critical time.
"Well, Lady Crimson, can I bring my boyfriend with me?" I grinned and looked at the red pupil flatteringly.
"Can't" Red Hitomi decisively refused. Seeing that I was still squirming, I directly picked up the back of my neck and flew with me, I hurriedly hugged him, and I only felt inexplicable in my heart, saying that he didn't have a good heart, but someone brought you such good news, and took you to find it, but if he didn't have any intentions? Then I don't believe it, what the hell does this guy want to do?
Since I was not blindfolded this time, I really flew all the way with him, light gong is a sport that consumes physical strength, and the red pupils are not red and out of breath all the way down, I think his kung fu must be above Qi Yun.
It took a long time to land, there were no houses here, no people, not even the confidant Zuo Yan of the red pupil, this ...... What does he want to do?
Seeing that I was holding my hands on my chest, there was a hint of displeasure, and I was so frightened that I immediately lowered my hands and squeezed out a smile.
"Wait, at dusk, what you ask for will surely appear," said the red pupil and floated up the tree, resting with his back against the trunk.
I'm the only one standing on the flat ground like a fool, what does this Nima mean? Since dusk will appear so early, what do you do, why do you blow a cold wind? But naturally, I didn't dare to question his old man, so I could only find a leeward place to sit down.
I don't know if Qi Yun's stupid boy found out that I was missing? Can you find it, but he doesn't know about finding snow lotus seeds, and it's not good to be found out, so it's better not to be discovered by him, and I'll go and crush him after I get the snow lotus seeds. Since then, I have come to him to hand chopsticks when I eat, I have come to him to tie my clothes, I have come to him to scatter flowers when I take a bath, as his life-saving benefactor, I have to have the wind and the rain, even he has to accept his fate hahahahahahaha......ha
I think it's so beautiful that I can't help but laugh out loud.
"Whoosh" red pupils appeared in front of my eyes in seconds, and I didn't have time to retract my eight teeth.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Lord Red Hitomi! Did I make a noise with you? I'll be quiet," I chuckled.
"Are you crazy?"
I suspected I had misheard, and looked at him incredulously, "What?" ”
"Did I say you're crazy?" Red Pupil repeated it again with clarity.
I think in my heart, "Why can't you speak?" Lao Tzu just smiled, and you scolded Lao Tzu for being a madman? "But looking around at this deserted place, the words of retort can only be swallowed when they reach their throats, so I secretly gave him a white eye.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, the temperature in the wilderness instantly cooled several degrees, I hugged my shoulders and shivered slightly, and a trace of crystal snot slowly flowed down.
I was about to warm up when my shoulders suddenly heavily and a crimson cloak wrapped around me. I looked at Red Hitomi in disbelief, surprised at what he was doing as human.
The red pupil took off the clothes on her body and looked at the place where the sunset with a blank face, and suddenly became lonely.
Under the orange sun, a tall and majestic figure seemed so lonely, just looking at the back made me feel gloomy and sad, and I couldn't help but be full of curiosity about him.
I didn't refuse his clothes, it was too cold, and I was reluctant to give him back this warm cloak, so I took turns covering it if it didn't work, and I would return it to him after a while of warmth, I decided in my heart.
After a while, I touched the soft robe, looked at the back in confusion, and took a deep breath.
Reluctantly, he took off the 5° warmth and walked towards his master.
I kindly tried to put my foot on him, but after trying hard for a while, I found that I couldn't complete the task, so I could only pat him and hang the cloak on his arm.
The red pupil was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are wearing it."
I was overjoyed, but after thinking about it, I still shook my head, there is no free lunch in the world, and it is better for me to keep a distance from such an unfathomable character as the red pupil, and accept his kindness, who knows if it is good or bad.
Seeing that I refused the red pupil, I no longer shirked, and honestly criticized my body, sure enough, I was a master of the cow, and I couldn't resist the cold by relying on my demeanor.
I clenched my collar and tried to lean back under the tree, but a strong pull dragged me backwards, and by the time I could react, I was already in my arms, and the crimson cloak encircled us.
This...... What's going on? I was stunned for a moment, my forehead resting on the chest of the red pupil, and then heaved slightly.
After coming back to his senses, he struggled to get out, but he was tightly imprisoned, through the gap in the cloak, I was afraid that Qi Yun would suddenly come and bump into him, don't most film and television dramas act like this? My innocence cannot be ruined like this.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't resist the strength of the red pupil, and finally I couldn't help yelling, "You let go of me..."
"You want to freeze to death?" Red Pupil gave me an indifferent look.
I continued to struggle "I can't freeze to death, and it has nothing to do with you"
"You ......", "I don't know what to do" Red Pupil let go of me after saying angrily, and then smashed the cloak into my face and said, "I don't bother to take back what others have used"
I picked up the cloak on the ground and thought, "How innocent is it?" Of course, I know that Red Hitomi deliberately wanted to leave the cloak to me, and I admit that my tone was a little heavy just now, but I have a famous name, and it is not reasonable to pull and pull with people here."
"Lord Red Pupil, did you bring a fire fold? Why don't I go collect some firewood and we light it for warmth? "I kindly suggested that we should solve the problem at the root.
Akatomi looked at me with retarded eyes, but didn't answer. I looked at the cold wind, if I lit a fire, I wouldn't have to burn it all, so I don't blame the red pupils, set fire to the bottom of the mountain prison and sit through, thank my brother for coming to the rescue.
"Lord Red Pupil, when will the snow lotus seeds be delivered? We've all been waiting for a long time" I yawned, I couldn't hold on.
The red pupil was silent for several seconds, and suddenly took a few steps forward, "It's coming"
"Coming?" I cheered up, and with a few brisk steps came to his side, and from a distance it seemed as if a carriage was speeding towards me.
I looked at the red pupil suspiciously, and he just nodded slightly.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of him, Zuo Yan drove the car, stopped and lifted the curtain, only to see a little nun coming down from the carriage, she looked immature, and her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, it was a pity that such a cute little girl was a monk.
I'm still feeling sorry for her here, but the little nun knelt down to the red pupils. Chi Tong waved her hand, and the little nun turned back to the carriage and rummaged through the cabinets inside, and after a while, she hugged a gold wire hollow brocade box and presented it to Chi Tong with both hands.
Such a luxurious package, it must be snow lotus seeds inside, I took a step forward slightly, and I was a little nervous, with this thing Qi Yun will be saved.
I threw my heart on the brocade box, not noticing that the red pupils on the side were staring at me and smiling.
Red pupil took the brocade box, there was no expression on his face, he slowly opened the brocade box, only looked at it for two seconds and then covered it, this is my anxious eyes, the red pupil is so high, I can't see the contents of the box at all.
"Let me see," I tugged at his sleeve.
Red Hitomi looked at me and said, "No."
"Why? Didn't you say it was for me? "I'm so angry that I'm afraid I'll fool me, and if that's the case, I won't have anything to do with him.
"Who are you, and why did Lord Majesty give you such treasures?" The little nun on the side suddenly spoke.
I was stunned by her question, yes, such a valuable thing, how could I be stupid to really think that the red pupil would give it to me.
"I need snow lotus seeds to save my life, if you are willing to give it to me, I can do anything for you" I looked at the red pupil firmly, wanting him to see my determination, I have to do this snow lotus seed.
The little nun was about to answer, but was glared at by the red pupil.
"I just said that I have the whereabouts of the snow lotus seeds, but I never said that I wanted to give them to you, besides, the snow lotus seeds are worth a fortune, what kind of chips do you have to exchange with me?" The red pupil hooked the corners of her mouth with disdain.
Naturally, I was not provoked, the negotiation needs to be calm, whoever impulses first loses "What do you want?" Since Lord Red Pupil brought me here, it wasn't just to tease the little girl, right? As long as you say it, I will do my best to do it for adults."
"What do I want? I want your life, will you give it to me? ”
I only felt a chill when the words fell, and the tone of the red pupil was cold, indicating that he was not just talking, he really wanted my life.
"What? Reluctant? Don't you know the truth of one life for another? Seeing that I didn't answer, the red pupil continued to make trouble, and the left words on the side were expressionless, but the little nun had a little pride.
"Can I see why?"
"There's no why, just because I'm happy, if you're afraid of death, just leave"
"So, can you give me a few days to think about it?" With such a big plan, I really can't make a decision for a while, if I put myself in for Qi Yun, it's a great thing, but it's too much of a loss, although the snow lotus seed is hard to find, there is a glimmer of hope, if I use this one of the red pupils, I will play with my life directly, how can I think about it.
"If you want to think about it, think about it, I'll only give you one day, and wait for me in the bamboo forest after arriving at your house at dusk tomorrow" Chi Tong flicked his sleeves, threw a look at Zuo Yan and left.
"I'll send you back" Zuo Yan stepped forward and grabbed my shoulder, suddenly put it down like an electric shock, took out a thick silk handkerchief from his arms and covered my arm, and then grabbed me and jumped.
On the way back, my mind was blank, I didn't know what to do, and my heart was entangled.
