Chapter 12: The Thorns
After a few days' journey, I almost arrived at the boundary of Chongzhou.
Luo Thorn lay on his horse with a disgraced face. Seeing this, Sang Zhi came over and probed her forehead, and asked gently, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? Seeing this, Ah Su silently blocked Sang Zhi and carefully helped Luo Thorn down from his horse.
For some reason, since approaching Chongzhou, Luo Thorn began to feel uncomfortable, sickly, and listless.
As a youkai who has lived for a long time, Luo Thorn has not known what the pain is for a long time.
Luo Thorn wondered if he had been a human being for a long time, there would be human beings' birth, old age, sickness and death.
Luo Thorn curled up alone by the window, there was still a piece of silver outside the window, and a few snowflakes brought by the wind gently fell on Luo Thorn's forehead, which was very cold and comfortable.
When people have some illness in their life, they are prone to cranky thoughts. Thinking about it, it seems that she hasn't seen snow for a long time, since she went to the imperial capital of the four seasons of everyspring, and after meeting that person there, she must have not seen snow for thirty years.
Since that person's death, she has been guarding the secluded fence, and she planned to stay out of the world for a long time, but Jiayi came to the door.
The snowflakes outside drifted in one after another by the wind, and Luo Thorn looked at the little bit of white, and his thoughts drifted far away.
The bamboo forest on the outskirts of the imperial capital grows very well, this is what a peregrine falcon told her, so the first thing she did when she came to the imperial capital was to build a nest in this bamboo forest.
Unexpectedly, the technology was not at home, so she turned over, and even the bird's nest fell down, stuck in the thorns, and it was he who picked her up.
At first, he kept her as an ordinary canary, and always chattered with her about his troubles when he fed her every day.
He will have a smooth career tomorrow, and he should have had a smooth life. But then he died, died of the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, and he took up the cup of poisoned wine before her, and she spared none of those who were going to send him on his way.
He was surprised to see her.
She told him, "Don't drink it, it's poisonous." ”
He laughed, "Fool, I know." But even if he didn't drink, he wouldn't live long, and all he had left was a broken shell.
She said, "I can keep you alive." ”
He still smiled softly, as if to prove it to him, and she reached out and tore off a finch feather from her neck and handed it to him.
He looked at her in a daze, and only said in a half-voice, "It hurts." ”
When she looked down, she saw that her neckline had been stained red with blood, and even when she pulled out the finch feather just now, a few drops of scarlet blood stained the white carpet on the ground. But she didn't speak, just shook her head, and stubbornly shoved the finch to him, but he still only smiled.
I just remember him saying, I know you want to protect me, but I also have people I want to protect.
Later, he still died, and then it was Jiayi who came to her with the finch feather.
Only then did she know that the person he wanted to protect back then was the current wife of Shangyonghou, Jiayi's mother-in-law.
So when Jiayi begged her to save Ying Zheng with a feather, she didn't refuse.
Because after all, it is the person he wants to protect, and that person's daughter will protect him if he wants to, so she will do everything to protect him.
The name Luo Thorn was given by him.
He said he had never seen such a stupid bird fall out of his nest.
He said, since it fell into thorns, it should be called thorns.
Knock knock.
Sang Zhi knocked on the door of Luozhi, and when he saw that no one responded, he pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a small lump huddled by the window.
"Thorns." Sang Zhi walked quickly to Luo Thorn, squatted down and grabbed her hand, frowning, "Why are your hands so cold." ”
Luo Thorn looked at him blankly with red eyes, Sang Zhi found that she was in tears, Sang Zhi looked distressed, and gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Why are you crying?" Is it uncomfortable? ”
Rothspin shook his head.
Sang Zhi sighed lightly, took out a pill, and stuffed it into Luo Zhi's mouth.
Luo Thorn didn't resist, just looked at him stunned. Sang Zhi pinched her face, "Stupid? It's not poison for you, don't worry. ”
"Has anyone told you... You look good in a green shirt. Luo Thorn suddenly had no head and no brain, and popped out such a sentence.
A smile spread in Sang Zhi's eyes, "You're the first." Sang Zhi touched Luo Thorn's head, then put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said warmly, "Sleep, just sleep." ”
