Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Woman

In the deep mountains and forests, a woman with good education and a great love of beauty inexplicably appeared.

A group of people only felt that this Crescent Mountain was getting stranger and stranger, and Leng Changxi ordered everyone to be careful, and he took the lead directly towards the trail left by this woman.

"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan held Leng Changxi's belt, she knew what he wanted to do, but she was still worried for no reason.

"Don't worry" Leng Changxi looked at the direction in which the woman disappeared, "I have an intuition, that woman, will take me to a place." ”

In the mountains and forests, I can't tell the difference between day and night, I don't know how long I walked, the woods are finally less, the sun in the distance shoots a golden light, shining on the eyes of this group of people, a group of people follow the woman's trail all the way, until the woman's footprints disappear on the edge of a mountain cliff, Atcha glanced towards the towering cliff, and sighed: "I don't expect such a small mountain to have such a high cliff, this must be fifty meters." Then he scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Could it be that this woman jumped off the cliff?" ”

After observing the topography of this mountain cliff, Qin Yunuan said: "Not necessarily. Then he picked up the wrist-thick vine on the ground and said, "Perhaps, I used the vine to go down the cliff." ”

"How is this possible, she is just a wild woman, if she uses such a stable vine to go down such a high cliff, except for Tuoba Gongzi, we may not be able to fall down." Atcha shook his head, disbelieving it.

Leng Changxi looked at Qin Yunuan and smiled slightly: "Maybe it's really true?" ”

The sun was almost noon, which meant that Yan Su's team had been walking for at least an hour and a half, and it was a difficult problem whether they could catch up or not......

Leng Changxi glanced at Qin Yunuan and only said, "Are you afraid?" ”

Qin Yunuan shook his head, and in the blink of an eye, Leng Changxi had carefully plucked a bundle of vines with leaves and thorns, tied them to Qin Yunuan's waist, and then turned over, holding Qin Yunuan's waist with one hand, and holding the thickest and longest vine with the other hand, Qin Yunuan only felt that there was the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and after a while, the two of them arrived at the bottom of the cliff, asked about the landing, and looked up, Atcha and the other four people waiting on the cliff were already as big as soybeans.

The light at the bottom of the cliff was much darker than the top of the cliff, and there was a small stream gurgling through the middle, the water was clear and cold, Leng Changxi made a gesture for Atcha to stay in place, and pulled Qin Yunuan to walk along the water.

"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan was surprised why Leng Changxi was so sure that it was in this direction, just like he had been here before;

"I know, it's over here." Although Leng Changxi had never been here, in the illusion, he could see very clearly that here, what led to was the small thatched hut where Jing Donghua and the eldest princess of Daqi once lived in seclusion.

The clouds and fog at the bottom of the cliff are getting heavier and heavier, and the white expanse makes it impossible to see the place a zhang away, until, Leng Changxi faintly heard Dengdeng, Dengdeng's rhythmic sound, that is the sound of a waterwheel, where there is water in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be several households in the local residents who share a waterwheel.

"Here we are." Leng Changxi called softly, and walked forward slowly, the clouds and mist gradually dissipated, revealing the thatched house under the shade of the cyan bamboo forest, the originally clean and neat thatched house looked a little sluggish, half of the roof of the house was gone, and the thatch scattered on the ground had been trampled into the mud, a bamboo fence quietly surrounded the thatched house, compared with the unbearable thatched house, there was a circle of rhododendrons neatly planted outside the bamboo hedge, which could be seen to be well maintained, ten times better than the azaleas that bloomed under the mountain, The mysterious woman that Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi saw in the woods before was concentrating on carefully tending to the azalea field, loosening the soil and fertilizing, looking very proud and proud.

Qin Yunuan understood, it turned out that this woman worked hard to go down the mountain to pick azaleas not to dress up, but to plant, from this fifty-meter-high cliff holding vines to climb up, risking so much to go down the mountain to pick azaleas, this person, how crazy he is about loving azaleas, will work so hard.

The woman quickly sensed the breath of the living, she turned her head vigilantly, and was very surprised to see Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi both appearing.

"Li...... Stuffy, stuffy is the tongue? ”

A stammering sentence made Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi frown slightly, Qin Yunuan leaned into Leng Changxi's ear and said, "She's asking, 'Who are you?'" It seems that she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and she couldn't even speak. ”

Leng Changxi looked at this slightly flustered woman and took a step closer, this woman immediately took out the handle of countless rusty hoes on her hand and faced Leng Changxi, she frowned, her teeth were clenched, and her defensive look was jealous and distressing.

Leng Changxi tilted his head, he tried hard to look at the appearance of this woman, but unfortunately, this woman was disheveled and haggard, although it could be seen that this mass of hair had been carefully groomed, but it still looked like a pile of grass.

For some reason, Leng Changxi made a bold decision, he silently took off the mask in his hand, revealing the beautiful face that had been hidden under the mask, he looked at the woman with a smile, and actually asked: "Do you recognize me?" ”

As if she was suddenly shocked, the woman in black looked at Leng Changxi's eyes and instantly became focused, and it turned directly from the extremely defensive posture just now to a kind of appreciation, she tilted her head and looked at Leng Changxi carefully, as if she was looking at a work of art, she even approached, and took out her rough fingers and rubbed them back and forth on Leng Changxi's face.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Donghua, are you back?" ”

Leng Changxi was slightly stunned, sure enough, as he guessed, a woman with noble upbringing appeared in Crescent Mountain, living hard in this thatched hut, and her light skills must have been taught by someone with strong martial arts.

Leng Changxi didn't speak, just made an "um" sound from his throat.

faintly just this syllable, but let the woman's tears gush out, she pulled Leng Changxi hard, like pulling a baby who she hadn't seen for many years: "Donghua, do you know how much I miss you, you left me on the crescent mountain, when Zhongyi came to save me, I wanted to go with him, but I was still reluctant, I don't believe you will send someone to harm me, to harm our children, by the way, what about our children?" ”

The appearance of this woman hurriedly looking for something deeply stung Leng Changxi, needless to say, Qin Yunuan also knew the true identity of this woman, she was the veritable eldest princess of Daqi-Princess Qinghe;

It turned out that the eldest princess of Daqi did not die on the way to her relatives as the folklore says, nor did she live in seclusion in Weiyang Palace as the palace secrets said, and was finally burned to death by a bizarre fire.

But the question is, if this person is the real eldest princess, who is the one who was burned to death in Weiyang Palace? Who can pretend to be the eldest princess so that even the emperor and the queen mother can't tell the truth from the fake?

The woman fell suddenly, but fortunately she was dragged by Qin Yunuan in time, and the woman said with words in her mouth: "My child, Donghua, I'm sorry, I can't keep him by my side, I let Zhongyi take him away, Zhongyi is a good person, he will treat our child well, when he grows up, maybe he doesn't know who his father and mother are, but I still love him, because, that's our child." ”

Speaking of this, Leng Changxi's eyes were inexplicably moist, he was rarely so moved, the person in front of him was the mother who brought him to this world when he was pregnant in October, but his mother waited for more than 20 years at the bottom of this ungrateful cliff in order to wait for an ungrateful negative man.

"Hua Lang, come and see." This woman tugged at Leng Changxi's sleeves with her dirty hands, and changed her title to the extremely intimate Hua Lang, and the shy look on her face seemed like that of a ten-year-old innocent girl.

"This is your favorite azalea, every time you used to come, you would pick one from the bottom of the mountain and bring it to me, but now I have planted one for you, are you happy?"

"Mother...... Mother? Leng Changxi choked up this title, his title to Princess Ning has always been that of a mother, and he has never been able to shout out a real mother in his life.

"Donghua, what are you calling me for?" The eldest princess was a little surprised, and looked at Leng Changxi with wide eyes.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Qin Yunuan immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege: "The eldest princess is tired, there is clear water by this stream, Changxi, you go and call some, I will dress up for the eldest princess." ”

Qin Yunuan said to the eldest princess like a child: "Her Royal Highness Princess, please." ”

After entering this half of the thatched house, Qin Yunuan really realized the eldest princess's conviction of surviving alone in such an environment, and since half of the thatched house had collapsed, the eldest princess moved all the furniture and things that could be used to another room.

Even though the room was already crowded, the eldest princess still put a silver makeup box in the most conspicuous position, although the makeup box was polished, but there was nothing in it.

"This makeup box was given to me by Donghua." The eldest princess saw Qin Yunuan's eyes fall on this makeup box, and explained with a smile, "I'm afraid that I will load things into it and damage this box, I took it out a few years ago, you see, how easy things are in this house, but this can't be broken." ”

So many things, all of which have been used for twenty years, will naturally break. It had just rained, and there seemed to be a little leak in the house, and it could be seen that the only half of the thatched hut was about to collapse, and I really didn't know what the eldest princess would do if the only shelter was gone.

"Nishiki-eda, what else are you doing? Didn't you say that you were going to bathe the main palace? Don't you know how to serve? Although the eldest princess has lived lonely for twenty years, the royal breath in her bones has not dissipated, but who is the "brocade branch" in her mouth just now?
