The girl in yellow left happily.

The old woman suddenly put away the kind expression on her face, and instantly turned into a straight face to look at the woman who had already been changed into a set of dry coarse cloth clothes for her by Huan'er, and was now tightly wrapped in five or six thick quilts, like a big round rice dumpling, asleep and unconscious.

The woman was removed from the veil on her face, and the blood-colored tumor was clearly visible on what should have been a beautiful face, and in the dim candlelight of the night, it was really shocking to look at.

Despite this, the extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows has always existed, and it seems that he has never been worn away by the years for many years.

The old woman walked over slowly, sat beside the woman and looked at her carefully for a long time, before slowly reaching out and helping her smooth a few strands of hair on her forehead.

The woman in front of her at this moment is actually not really seen with her.

It was a long time ago, and she had occasionally seen one glimpse at a portrait, but that glance alone was enough to make it unforgettable for the rest of all who saw it.

And now the woman in front of her looks the same as in the portrait back then, only seventeen or eighteen years old, but how is this possible? What's going on?

She clearly remembered that as the concubine of the first emperor, she was in full swing.

But for some reason, one day, almost overnight, the first emperor got a portrait of a woman out of nowhere, and the woman in the portrait can really be described as "hands like soft wattles, skin like clotted fat, collar like grubs, teeth like rhinoceros, moth eyebrows, clever smiles, beautiful eyes." ”

It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was like a nine-heavenly fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, or a mortal saint who did not mess with the mortal world.

Obviously, the woman in this portrait is even the most beautiful woman in the palace who sighs to herself when she sees it, let alone a man!

As a result, the first emperor, who had reached the age of no doubt, seemed to be stunned, and suddenly completely ignored the all-out opposition and obstruction of several important ministers in the court, and insisted on accepting the immature peerless face in this painting as a concubine.

If it were an ordinary woman, no one would obstruct it in such a way, but this woman was destined to bear the most unusual responsibilities in this world by birth.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this woman was later mistaken on the way to the palace and accidentally fell off a cliff and died.

Sure enough, just as the admonitions of those important ministers when they were dissuading them before, the Western Qin Kingdom lost the existence of that woman, and even the calamities that followed began to rage everywhere unscrupulously.

Not long after the woman's death, a large area in the eastern part of Western Qin suddenly fell heavy rain for many days, the amount of rainfall was rare in previous years, and then an extremely serious river flood disaster occurred, which successively flooded countless fertile fields and villages. The people there did not have water to drink for a long time, not to mention that, after a large amount of water flowed through it, it was as if it had suffered a great flood, and all kinds of dead bodies were scattered everywhere, which caused it

An even more sinister plague. In that year, the Western Qin suffered heavy losses, and countless people died in the eastern region, and in order to relieve the disaster and rebuild, the Western Qin State spent almost half of the national treasury.

Within a few years, many areas in the south were swept away by floods, and the torrential rains continued for more than half a month, so that the entire low-lying areas of the south were all inunspared, and the farmland was wiped out, dead bodies were everywhere, and all kinds of plagues were rife everywhere.

Eight years ago, in the northwest region, a long drought finally met with a rainy day, and the drought was just subsided, and it was difficult to breathe a sigh of relief, but it ushered in an unprecedented plague of locusts. The time is the harvest season of the farmland, and the locusts that cover the sky are frantically coming, gnawing at the lifeblood of the farmers mercilessly. In that year, the entire northwestern region of Western Qin, which was also the largest crop producing area in Western Qin, had almost no harvest and was starving.

In the northern region, the largest forest farm in the Western Qin Kingdom, which is called the "Golden Forest", the fire that has just passed two years and is called the "Fire of Heavenly Fury" by everyone is terrified, which has caused countless deaths and injuries to countless people of the Western Qin Dynasty around the forest farm, and the forest resources and financial resources of the Western Qin Kingdom have suffered heavy losses. With the help of the tornado, the fire rolled the tongue of fire from the ground to the tree, the head of the fire was dozens of meters high, and the fire formed a completely uncontrollable momentum of manpower, forcing the firefighting team to fight back. People could only watch helplessly as the fire, after burning for three days and three nights, almost burned the largest forest in the Western Qin Kingdom. This catastrophe, and even later, shocked the entire Spiritual Sky Continent.

……

All of this, all these seemingly never-ending calamities, whether it is the wrath of heaven or the resentment of man, who can say for sure......

The ups and downs of the past seem to still linger in the hearts of every person in Western Qin, making people remember it vividly.

However, all this is far from over, and it is rumored that the disaster of the Western Qin Kingdom as if it has been cursed will continue again and again, and it will never die or die.

And it was only in the years that the first emperor witnessed these real disasters that happened one after another, that he realized that he had committed a heinous crime that could never be forgiven, and finally became depressed and unhappy because of it.

Thinking back to everything she had experienced in the past, the old woman couldn't help but slowly close her eyes, her lips twitched slightly, and tears oozed from the corners of her eyes and slipped quietly down her face.

In these tears, there are sorrows, pains, sorrows, and joys......

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the face of the woman on the bed with some excitement and luck, and said, "Great, really good, now, Xi Qin is finally saved." I didn't expect you to be alive, you were still alive. Not only are you still alive, but your face is as peerless, young and beautiful as it was back then, and your skin can be broken... Could it be that this is the mystery of the blood saintess who has been rumored to have sworn to protect the true son of the Western Qin Dynasty for generations......"

Suddenly, when she said happily and moved her eyes to the blood-colored birthmark on the woman's face, the smile on her face suddenly stopped, and she couldn't help frowning again

Confused, he muttered to himself, "It's just... How could this face have a bloody birthmark, and what is it about? She still clearly remembers that the woman's face in that portrait is like a peach blossom, but there is no flaw? ”

The old woman looked at it, thinking to herself, and couldn't help but reach out and take out one of the woman's hands from the quilt to grab it, gently peel off the coarse cloth shirt attached to it, and opened her eyes again and began to examine the colorful gold and jade bracelet on the woman's wrist more closely.

After a long time, she muttered, "This bracelet is indeed exactly the same as the one on the portrait!" ”

In the end, she was still puzzled. looked at the bracelet, and then looked at the person in front of him, so over and over again, back and forth and thought for a long time.

Suddenly, she jerked her head up and looked at the woman, as if she remembered something again.

I saw her get up hurriedly and take the dim little oil lamp on the bedside table.

Then he shone it on the woman's body, and began to reach out and lift off the quilts attached to her body for sweating, layer by layer.

Then, she slowly untied the woman's garment, and searched carefully over her bare, fair, delicate and smooth body.

After a long time of work, I saw her sit down beside her with a look of extreme disappointment and confusion, and muttered in a low voice, "Strange, how can it not be?" No way, I can't be mistaken. Such a peerless beauty, out of the world, like a fairy, is very rare in the world. And the appearance of the woman in front of her, the unique temperament between her eyebrows, and the bracelet that seems to be quite mysterious and bizarre, are all exactly the same as in the portrait......"

Just when the old woman was deeply puzzled and hesitated, Huan'er walked in with a bowl of steaming ephedra soup with a happy face, and asked from a distance, "Old lady, what are you looking for?" ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly came back to her senses and put down the small oil lamp in her hand, and said, "Oh, the old woman wants to check if there are any other injuries on her body." If there is, it is better to diagnose and treat her in time, so as not to let the minor illness become a serious illness. ”

Huan'er had an epiphany, "Huan'er knows, this is what the old lady usually told Huan'er called 'A Thousand Miles of Embankment, Collapse in an Anthill', that is, even a very long embankment will be destroyed because of the gnawing of small ants." It means that people tend to cause serious damage if they don't pay attention to small things, or they can cause serious losses if they don't pay attention to small things. In the case of doctors and patients, it means that even a small disease, if not detected and treated in time, will completely destroy the person's health, right? ”

Huan'er said seriously, while sitting down beside the woman, scooping up the medicinal soup in the medicine bowl by herself, and slowly feeding it to the woman one spoonful after another.

Seeing the old woman sitting silently on the side, looking gloomy, Huan'er comforted her and said, "Don't worry, old lady, when Huan'er scrubbed this girl's body and changed her clothes during the day, she had already carefully and really checked it." She was covered except for the blow to her head

Outside of the wounds, there were all the smooth, not even a small scar, let alone any other wounds. ”

Hearing this, the old woman came back to her senses and said, "During the day, you really haven't found any other scars on this woman's body?" ”

Huan'er nodded at it seriously, but because of the old woman's surprise, a particularly strange feeling floated in her heart, but this feeling was only fleeting.

In the end, Huan'er still only cared about helping the woman feed the soup, and said happily, "Fortunately, she can still take the medicine, otherwise it would be even worse." Today, thanks to the old lady's wit, she didn't let the greedy Wang Er bury the girl alive. Otherwise, it is really the great sin of Wang Er, the old lady helped Wang Er accumulate virtue, and he is really a veritable 'living Bodhisattva'! ”

After listening to Huan'er's words, the old woman, who was still deeply immersed in her own speculation and doubts, said mysteriously, "The old body is not a 'living bodhisattva', but... This girl shouldn't have died? ”

Hearing this, Huan'er seemed to suddenly remember what the old woman had said to Wang Er during the day, so she asked, "By the way, are all the noble words that the old lady said to Wang Er during the day true?" ”
