Chapter 4 Falling into the Cold Lake at Night is terrifying
Situ Wan sneered at him, "You are really a, even if you propose to repent in front of everyone, you only rely on others to make the decisions, not only can you not control your own life, but you don't even have room for struggle." Situ Wan spurned him very much, although he was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, he was as terrifying as a poisonous insect and a beast when he spoke.
Every word she said was like a sharp knife into Ge Fengque's heart, and the ridicule around him because of her words made it even more difficult for him to breathe, since the death of his parents, he had endured the bullying and ridicule of everyone alone, and gradually became silent, but no matter what, he kept telling himself that what they said was not the truth, and he didn't need to pay too much attention.
Only today, the girl's words pierced his heart deeply. As she said, he can't control his own life, he can only blindly endure it, there is no room for resistance, even if he is in his own home, he has the feeling of being under the fence.
He's a wretch.
"Why can't you speak?" Situ Wan smiled even more, "Although you have agreed to your uncle's proposal, Miss Ben still wants to persuade you to stop the toad wanting to eat swan meat, and Xiao wants to marry Miss Ben." ”
"Sister." Situ Jing seemed to feel that what Situ Wan said was a bit excessive, so he stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Let's go quickly, otherwise Dad will be in a hurry." ”
Situ Wan nodded at this time, calling for the disciples of the Situ family to follow, Situ Jing also followed, but when he passed by with Ge Fengque, he couldn't help but glance at him, seeing that his face was gloomy and his mood was low, Situ Jing sighed unconsciously, he wanted to say something to him in his heart, but when he heard Situ Wan calling him outside the house, he couldn't help it.
Ge Fengque still stood in the hall for a long time after they left, his eyes bowed, silent.
After a long time, he raised his head, took a deep breath, and gradually loosened his clenched fists, he remembered that Fang Cai was going to find Ye Tingxue, and now he still wants to do this.
He knew very well that the terrain of Lingyin Mountain Villa was complicated, if she accidentally lost it here, it would be difficult to find it, but it would be a matter of hinder, what he was afraid of was that it was getting late, and she would definitely be afraid if she was so small.
Even for the gaze she cast at him today, he couldn't leave her alone.
As for Ye Tingxue, she may have to thank Ge Feng for having such an idea, because she was indeed lost in Lingyin Villa.
She was standing under the cherry blossom tree and watching Ge Fengque talk to those uncles and uncles, thinking that she was going to play hide and seek with him, if he couldn't see him when he turned around, he would come to find herself, and she and her sister also played like this on weekdays.
So, she found a rockery to hide behind it, waiting for Ge Fengque to come and find her. It's just that after waiting for a long time and not waiting for Ge Fengque to come, she thought that Ge Fengque couldn't find herself, so she decided to go out by herself. Who knew that when she ran out to take a look, the place was empty, and Ge Fengque was nowhere to be seen.
She wasn't in a hurry, she just felt a little strange, and she didn't know why Ge Fengque didn't come to play with her. She decided to go to Ge Fengque to ask for clarification, so she took a small step to find Ge Fengque.
It's just that I don't know where I've gone.
Along the way, she only felt more and more secluded, and the sky gradually darkened, Ye Tingxue realized that she was lost, although she was very scared, she did not stop moving forward, and still walked along the path in front of her to the depths.
It is a bluestone path lined with lush greenery, with occasional clusters of pale yellow wildflowers dotted with greenery, and the sunset shadow covering the flowers and plants, adding a warm orange glow. Ye Tingxue walked a few steps, and the more she moved forward, she could hear the sound of gurgling water, accompanied by the birdsong hidden in the trees, as if she had entered a mysterious realm.
Her original fear gradually calmed down a lot.
When she finished walking this bluestone path, the moon had quietly hung up in the firmament, and the sky was full of stars, such as Lian Qinghui spreading, she seemed to see the faint candlelight in front of her, so she ran forward very happily, but she didn't want to hear the noisy voices in the distance more clearly the closer she got closer.
She slowed down her pace and cautiously approached the front, and when she reached the end, she realized that the other side of the path was a different view.
Pavilion water pavilion, long bridge lakeside, silver shine on the surface of the lake, sparkling is covered with lotus buds that have not yet bloomed, emerald lotus leaves contrast, koi under the lotus leaves swimming, splashing rippling water waves, so not easy and cheerful. One or two light boats are moored on the shore, presumably for the women in the village to enjoy the flowers and pick lotuses in the summer.
At this time, on both sides of the lake, there were fish running through the shuttle, and they hurriedly crossed the long bridge with brocade plates in their hands, and went to the pavilion at the other end of the bridge.
Ye Tingxue looked in the direction they were going, and saw that the water pavilion was full of lanterns in all directions, and the candle flames became hazy because they were shrouded in it, and Ye Tingxue could only vaguely see seven or eight people in the water pavilion, as if they were talking.
And among those seven or eight people, she recognized her father at a glance, Ye Yuanxi.
She was happy in her heart, since she separated from her father today, she separated from her sister, and Brother Feng Que did not come to her. At this time, when she saw her father, all her troubles disappeared, so she took a step and ran towards the long bridge, perhaps she was short, and no one noticed her when she ran across the long bridge.
It's just that when she was about to arrive at the water pavilion, she suddenly realized that her father had told her to stay with her sister, and if she let her father know that she was not obedient and was running around, she would definitely scold her again.
She thought so, so she secretly hid behind a willow tree in front of the water pavilion, hoping that if her sister appeared later, she would let her take her over to meet her father. She squatted behind the willow tree, glanced secretly into the water pavilion, and found that in addition to her father, there were several other people who were talking to Ge Fengque today.
Ye Tingxue originally just wanted to hide here wholeheartedly, in order not to be punished by Ye Yuanxi, but she didn't want to hear many words that she shouldn't have heard.
"Since the disappearance of the Long Yuan Sword five years ago, the Jianghu sect and even the emperors of various countries have never stopped looking for it, but after so many years, nothing has been found."
"Didn't the master of the song sect say that he had found out the news about the Longyuan Sword?" This person's voice sounded very cunning to Ye Tingxue, and she didn't like it at all.
"Ge just learned that Mu Shan, the regent of the Qiongwu Kingdom, seems to be sending additional men to the place where the Long Yuan Sword last appeared to find the whereabouts of the Long Yuan Sword." The voice paused for a moment, and then continued, "Brother Chaoji and Brother Situ should have heard about it. ”
"Now that the world is divided, the power of the Demon Sect is growing stronger and stronger, and the national strength of my Qiongwu Continent is strong. But Mu Shan's position as regent this year is nominally to assist the new emperor of my Qiongwu Kingdom, and he listens to the government, but in fact, Pei feels that he is controlling the government with one hand. Pei Mou did hear that Mu Shan had been looking for the whereabouts of Long Yuan's sword since he took control of the government, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for such a long time. ”
"Yes, since Mu Shan became the regent, in addition to sending people to Cang...... The Stygian Sea searched for the whereabouts of the Long Yuan Sword, and also sent people from various continents and countries to inquire about the whereabouts of the Leafless Court. After a pause, "His ambitions don't stop there." ”
"Five years ago, the Longyuan Sword disappeared, and the Canghai was eroded by demonic qi and divided into two, and to this day, Brother Situ still always forgets that the Canghai is no longer the Canghai." Ye Tingxue heard that this was the voice of her father Ye Yuanxi.
"yes." The person who spoke sighed, sighed, and then turned his words back to Na Mushan's body, "I also told Brother Pei that since the regency of Mushan, he has been too arrogant and arrogant, and he has not shied away from finding the heart of the Longyuan Sword and the Leafless Court, five years ago, the first battle of Jiuhuazhou has caused all countries to compete with me, and now Mushan is acting like this, but the Emperor Taishang will not interfere with it, let him come nonsense!" ”
"I think there are some means to come to this Mushan, and the Emperor of your Qiongwu Kingdom is also powerless."
"Qiongwu Country has the largest faction in the world, Qiongwu Villa, and you are afraid that he will not succeed?" The sly voice sounded again.
"Having said that, Mu Shan is the regent who sits on the world after all, and Qiongwu Villa may not be out of his control."
Ye Tingxue squatted in place, hearing what they were saying, because she was still young, she didn't know what she was talking about. Her legs and feet were already sore, but she still hadn't seen her sister appear, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"What people!" An exclamation came from the long bridge.
Ye Tingxue turned around when she heard the sound and found that it was a servant who shouted at where she was, and she must have found her. She was frightened, and hurriedly got up, wanting to run away, but she didn't want to be tripped by the stones under her feet, and her right foot stepped forward unsteadily, and she slipped and fell backwards, and behind her was the icy lake.
"Ye Tingxue!" A familiar voice sounded, but she didn't have time to look, her small body was difficult to maintain balance, and in an instant she had already fallen into the lake, only to hear a "bang", which caused everyone in the water pavilion to look behind the willow tree.
"What's going on?" Ge Zhihan stepped out of the water pavilion in three or two steps, but saw a servant pointing behind the willow tree.
"Master, a girl fell into the lake." As soon as the servant finished speaking, he saw another figure "plop" into the lake.
Several other door owners in the water pavilion also walked out of the water pavilion at this time, watching the movement on the lake, "Say that a little girl fell into the lake?" Pei Chaoji frowned and looked into the distance.
Ge Zhihan nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Brother Ye's girl ......"
When Ye Yuanxi heard the servant's words, he did chuckle in his heart, but immediately thought that it should not be his daughter Ye Shuangqing, she has always been well-behaved and sensible, and she will definitely not appear here, and she fell into the water.
But he forgot that he had brought a little daughter with him today.
"Send someone down!" Ge Zhihan saw that there was no movement on the surface of the lake for a long time, so he had to order the disciples in the sect to jump into the lake, but before they could make a move, Ge Fengque had already exposed his head from the lake.
I saw him spit out a mouthful of lake water, and he was still holding a little girl in a cherry light shirt in his hand, and walked ashore step by step. Ge Fengque put the girl on the ground, there were water droplets on her cherry-colored light shirt, and her hair bun had already been scattered, sticking to her sideburns, and her face was bloodless, "Ye Tingxue? Ge Fengque patted her cheek with his hand very anxiously, but saw that she had no intention of waking up.
Ye Yuanxi's eyes widened suddenly, and he ran forward, "Ting Xue? The girl who was lying on the ground cold and motionless was not her daughter.
"Tingxue!" Ye Yuanxi had never been so anxious about Ye Tingxue, he brushed away Ge Fengque, pressed Ye Tingxue's chest with his hand, and just hoped that she would spit out all the water in her mouth.
"Hurry up and make people angry! Bring some quilts and ginger soup! At this time, the other four major gate masters also came forward to check, and Ge Zhihan instructed his subordinates to prepare things as soon as possible.
"Yuanxi, I'll help you." Xiao Rinzhan squatted down beside Ye Tingxue, and her luck and true qi passed through Ye Tingxue's palm, and her body gradually began to warm up.
"Tingxue!" Ye Yuanxi pressed hard, but his face was pale, he was very afraid, afraid that Ye Tingxue would die like this, just like his Shuyue, he would never come back.
Ge Fengque soaked his clothes, and the cold air penetrated into his bone marrow with the cool breeze of the night, but he didn't seem to feel it at all at the moment, just stood behind Ye Yuanxi in a daze, looking at Ye Tingxue lying on the ground with slightly red eyes, his face was pale and lifeless.
Thinking, she smiled so beautifully, what if she couldn't smile anymore?
