Chapter 71: Call me Ah Chen
At night, Gong Lingxi had the same nightmares, which haunted her every night, but these dreams seemed to be the same, but they were all different.
Dream.
In a dark forest, Gong Lingxi walked on the tree-lined path, and the surroundings were gloomy, with cold winds blowing from time to time, and ghosts crying wolf.
Gong Lingxi walked forward with a calm face.
She didn't know where she was going, she didn't know what was ahead, but her legs seemed uncontrollable.
Suddenly, a man dressed in white stood opposite.
Gong Lingxi's pupils shook, and his voice trembled and asked, "Gongzi Jiang?" ”
Jiang Yuchen looked at her quietly, motionless.
Suddenly, he raised his feet and walked towards Gong Lingxi, Gong Lingxi froze, stunned in place, and his footsteps stopped, looking at him puzzled.
When he walked to her, Jiang Yuchen stopped, raised his hand and stroked her face with pity, and said softly: "Ling Xi, you have worked hard these days. ”
"Jiang Gongzi ......"
"Just call me Ah Chen." Jiang Yuchen leaned close to her ear and said with a shallow smile.
Gong Lingxi's body stiffened, and a strange look flashed in his heart, is Jiang Yuchen really like this on weekdays?
"Ah Chen." Her red lips moved slightly, and she called out.
"You like me, don't you?" Jiang Yuchen looked at her, his eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, demonic and charming.
"Yes."
As soon as Gong Lingxi finished answering, a sharp and thin laugh rang out, resounding through the sky and deafening.
The man's voice was hoarse, and he sneered hoarsely, "You actually like him!" What is he worthy of your liking? Do you know who he really is?! ”
"Don't slander Jiang Gongzi!" Gong Lingxi was angry, his chest shook, and he felt that he was blocked by something, and it was uncomfortably tight.
The person in front of him immediately stopped moving, Gong Lingxi pushed him, it was a paper man.
This scene is familiar.
I still remember that she had such an experience two years ago, that time it was a candle in the cave room, and it was also disturbed by this sharp and ugly voice.
"Don't defend him anymore!" The voice said angrily: "You have delayed two years for him, but what have you exchanged for?" Did he marry you? He just treats you like any other woman who wants to see you, and you are the only one who is so stupid that he thinks he cares about you, if he cares about you, he would have married you a long time ago, how could he leave you here alone? ”
Gong Lingxi covered her ears and looked pained.
She didn't want to hear it, she didn't want to hear it at all.
"He's a beast, a scum, a scum! He doesn't even have the qualifications to lift your shoes, what the hell are you trying to do with him? The shrill voice continued to speak angrily.
Gong Lingxi's tears flowed uncontrollably, her heart was like a knife, and the heartache made her breathless like suffocation.
"You're crying?!"
"You actually cried for him!?"
The voice was furious, as if all the anger was vented at this moment, and a lot of foul words scolding Jiang Yuchen rang in Gong Lingxi's ears.
Gong Lingxi sobbed, this feeling was very uncomfortable, she had never experienced it before.
She didn't even know that Jiang Yuchen had already occupied such an important position in her heart.
No matter how much that voice slandered Jiang Yuchen and insulted Jiang Yuchen, her heart never moved again.
"Hell!"
A shout suddenly sounded behind him, and Gong Lingxi immediately turned around, only to see an old woodcutter carrying a bundle of firewood on his back so frightened that he fell to the ground, holding the sickle tightly with one hand and clutching his sleeve with the other.
Seeing Gong Lingxi turn around, the old woodcutter was even more frightened and shouted: "There are ghosts, there are female ghosts in red!" There are ghosts in the woods! ”
So saying, he threw down the bundle of firewood, and ran away with the sickle in his hand, faster than a rabbit.
The shrill voice in my head also stopped abruptly at this moment.
The Woods?
Gong Lingxi was taken aback.
By the time she thought about it, she had already woken up, and when she came back to her senses, she was in the attic of Xilin Garden.
It was already dawn outside, and the sunlight pouring in from the window was dazzling.
Gong Lingxi raised his hand to block his eyes, and there was some discomfort.
It's still late at night in my dream, why is it suddenly dawning?
Could it be that she slept late again?
"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door, and Xiaoyu came in crisply: "Is Miss awake?" ”
"Come in."
Gong Lingxi was dressed neatly, glanced at Xiaoyu who pushed the door in, and asked lightly, "What time is it?" ”
"It's already hour."
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Gong Ling said puzzledly: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" ”
Xiaoyu happily replied: "I just came to call, but the young lady slept too deeply and ignored it, and the slave left again." ”
Gong Lingxi was silent and didn't speak anymore.
Xiao Yu dressed Gong Lingxi, and informed her of the recent events in the imperial city as usual, "Miss, there was another accident in the Youmu Forest last night. ”
"What's wrong?" Gong Lingxi couldn't help but be interested.
"The secluded wood forest is already gloomy, but in the past two years, it has been very peaceful, and there is nothing strange, but last night for some reason, an old woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood saw a female ghost in red on the way back."
Xiaoyu sighed, and then said: "I don't know if it's true, but the old woodcutter was so scared that he couldn't get up from the bed, and he probably wouldn't fake, he shouted all the way back to the village, and the people in the village thought he was being chased and killed, but he didn't think that he had encountered a ghost." ”
Gong Lingxi frowned slightly.
Wasn't that her dream?
Could it be that she really went to the Hidden Wood Forest last night, and really met the old woodcutter?
"Do you know when the old woodcutter met?" Gong Lingxi asked coldly, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"When it was almost dawn, no one would go to the mountains in the middle of the night to cut wood, and the old woodcutter thought that he was a hard-working villager, so he went to bundle firewood early in the morning, and who knew that he was so unlucky that he saw something that he should not see." Xiaoyu sighed.
The people of Kaqi Continent are a little superstitious, not only in Chu State, but also in other countries, and the people believe in the legend of the Spirit Maiden, and also believe in ghosts and gods.
"This woodcutter's luck is really bad." Gong Lingxi said a word, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Youmu Lin'an has been separated for two years, and her nightmare has disappeared for two years, why did Jiang Yuchen come to everything as soon as she left?
"By the way, Miss, Mrs. told you to go to Yuecheng in a few days, the dragon in Yuecheng is about to start, you haven't been there for two years, this time you can go to relax." Xiao Yu suddenly reminded.
This matter was mentioned by Shu Fang yesterday.
Yuecheng is a city adjacent to the imperial city, and it is also the richest city in the Chu State, and most of the people in it are merchants.
The most important thing is that Shu Fang's only brother, Gong Lingxi's own uncle, lives in Yuecheng and has a huge foundation in Yuecheng.
