Chapter 24. Tears
I smiled bitterly, and the tears finally couldn't be suppressed, and they fell. Yan Linxuan, you have come to this point now, and you still have the kung fu to reason and analyze here. Have you forgotten where you are now? That man is by no means a good person, and now that he learns that he has been deceived, and that his sweetheart is not allowed to return because of you, what will he do to you?
Thinking of his resentful eyes and harsh words, my heart couldn't help but throb. I'm afraid he's going to kill me, right? Xiu Li said that most of the original owner's soul has been reincarnated, but that person should not give up, even if there is a slight chance to find the original owner, he probably will not let it go. Xiuli said that I occupy this body, and he can't explore the location of the original owner's soul. The implication is that if my soul leaves this body, he will be able to find it. Xiu Li is an outsider, and he once said that the reason why I was able to occupy this body was due to the will of heaven, and I should not be forced to rebel. But the fact that Xiuren will not be rebellious does not mean that the person will not. I lied to him, and he killed me for good reason. And with his character, he definitely did this kind of thing.
Am I going to wait for death like this? I smiled bitterly, I am indeed to blame for the development of things to this point, that man has never done anything wrong to me, and if he wants to kill me, it is reasonable to stand in his position.
But I'm not willing, unwilling to accept my fate. It wasn't my wish to come to this plane, and if I could, I would rather die than break into the relationship between him and his original owner. But since fate has arranged it this way, I can only accept it.
I will not give up this opportunity to be born again, and no one will understand the preciousness of life better than a healer.
I couldn't help but fall in love with him like a moth to a fire before. I concealed my identity and stayed with him, in the name of fearing that he would not be willing to detoxify if he knew that the original owner was dead, but in fact it was to fulfill my own wishes. And now I'm going to completely cut him off from my heart for the sake of self-preservation.
It turns out that I was just thinking about myself from beginning to end. I was so selfish, deceived him, hurt him, hated by him, and avenged by him, and I deserved it.
Well, let me forget about him completely, the few memories I have with him are just my self-deceptive dreams, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for. I liked him in the past and liked him so much that I was willing to be the stand-in of the original owner, it was too humble, from this moment on, I will definitely be the real Yan Linxuan, the cold and cold, only rational, no emotion Yan Linxuan.
Take a deep breath, wipe away your tears, and close your eyes. Now that I have fallen into the hands of that man, I can only take one step at a time, and the most important thing is to survive no matter what......
In a daze, the carriage stopped. Before I could get up, two young girls dressed as maids came in and helped me. I wanted to go on my own, but I found that I was so tired that I had to be supported by them.
I found that in front of me was a typical ancient official's mansion, with a plaque hanging in the middle of the gate, and the gilded characters "Ling Mansion" were written on it.
It turned out that this was the man's mansion, and I think it was given by the emperor in order to praise him for successfully finding out Leng Yihan, a traitorous minister. Thinking of Leng Yihan's father-daughter relationship with the original owner, I suddenly felt extremely ironic.
I raised my eyes and looked into the gate, and found that Ling and Xiao had already entered the courtyard. I was helped by the maid to step through the door.
As soon as I walked into the outer courtyard of the Ling Mansion, a long figure appeared in front of me, and I looked up in confusion, only to see that the person who came had a beautiful face, looked like he was twenty-one or twelve years old, but his expression was quite old. The man stretched out his hand and blocked the way. I had to stop and look at him in doubt.
"Lord Xue." The two maids greeted each other.
The young man who was called Lord Xue nodded slightly, did not look at me, and only said to the two maids: "You two go down, the master has other arrangements for the girl." ”
The two maids were very obedient and withdrew.
I didn't know why, but I just wanted to ask, but I saw him wave his hand. "Someone! Invite the girl down! His voice was very cold, without a trace of emotion.
Before I could react, I felt that my arms were grabbed separately. Unable to break free, he had to let them drag him forward. Along the way, he did not forget to observe the situation in the house: this Ling Mansion is quite large, with nine courtyards, and the building is also quite magnificent, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Ling Niankong. But the strange thing is that the whole courtyard always gives people a feeling of going through vicissitudes, and it does not look like it has been newly renovated in recent years. Could it be that this Nanli Emperor rewarded the courtyard with an old mansion, which is really stingy!
I was dragged around, and finally came to a very remote courtyard, which seemed to be for the next people, and it seemed to be only used for piling up sundries. One of my escorts kicked open the door of a very small room, which appeared to be a firewood room. I was dragged to the door, and I had just broken free when I was pushed by someone and fell into the house. I just wanted to get up, but I saw that the door was already closed. There was a crunching sound, apparently locked. I sighed, but I wasn't surprised.
"The master said that the girl was tired and very hard, so he specially invited the girl to rest here, hoping that the girl would not live up to the master's hard work." When the people outside the door finished chanting these words, they stopped making a sound, and the whole courtyard only echoed with the footsteps of everyone leaving.
I had no choice but to lie down on the firewood and grass, and when I looked around, I found that this was indeed a firewood house, and there were cobwebs everywhere in the house. Suddenly, something was moving not far in front of him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a gray squirrel. I was suddenly glad that I had been different from ordinary girls since I was a child, and I was used to snakes, insects, rats and ants, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive this first hurdle. I just don't know how long that man will keep me in prison.
It took only three days to travel from Yunhua Mountain in the north to Shengjing City in the south, and it seems that this Yunhua Mountain is not far from the border between the two countries.
Perhaps it was the man's special order, and the three days of eating, drinking, and Lazar were all served by people in the carriage, so I never got out of the carriage along the way. Even the wooden windows were sealed at some point, and it was impossible to poke your head out of the window to see the scenery outside. At that time, I had a slight suspicion in my mind: the man must have been extremely unwilling to see me. No matter how tenacious he is, I'm afraid it will take time to digest the fact that I am not the original owner. How could I not be so? If I could, I just want to get as far away from him as possible.
I was locked up like this for two days, and if I still have no food or water tomorrow, I am afraid that my little life will not be guaranteed. I sat against the wall, staring at the moonlight shining through the window, not knowing what to do. It is impossible to escape, but in this firewood room, there are only rats left except firewood and grass. Although I am not afraid of mice, I do not have the nerve to feed on them, not to mention that the door of the house has been locked for the past two days, and the gray squirrel has long since disappeared from the food, so I think I have already made a hole and escaped. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I was not as good as a mouse.
While he was thinking about it, he heard a loud bang on the door and was knocked open. I looked to the door and froze.
The familiar cyan figure stood in the doorway, bathed in the moonlight. But he hadn't seen him for five days, and his stature was much thinner. Because of the moonlight, I couldn't see his expression clearly, let alone what he wanted to do.
Is he here to let me out? Still is...... Come and kill me?
He stood still for a moment, and then walked towards me, his steps a little unsteady.
I wondered: what happened to him?
He sat down in front of me, and the smell of wine came to my face, and I realized that if he hadn't drunk it, he wouldn't have come to see me.
He looked at me steadily, his brow furrowed tightly, the light in his eyes tingling my eyes.
He's afraid he's drunk. I wondered how to deal with him.
To be honest, I thought about this question for two days, but I couldn't solve it.
I opened my mouth to say something. But I don't want him to suddenly raise his right arm and reach towards me, my whole body is nervous, is he finally going to do something to me?
Uncontrollably, he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and thought: Man is a knife, I am a fish. With his martial arts, no matter how much I resist, it will be in vain, it is better to be calm.
However, the expected pain did not come, and was replaced by his solid embrace. I couldn't believe it, and my whole body froze.
His right arm hugged me tightly, his left hand caressed the hair on the back of my head, his chin rested on my shoulder, his chest heaved violently, and his heavy, warm breath sprayed on my neck without saying a word.
It was eerily quiet in the wood room, and the only sound was the slightly disorganized breathing of the man in his ears.
For some reason, I panicked. Just wanted to speak, but heard his slightly trembling low voice: "Xuan'er...... Xuan'er ...... Xuan'er ...... "He just called out one by one, and his tone was so heartbreaking.
Suddenly hot dripping moisture fell on my neck, and my heart tightened violently: it was ...... His tears!
Drop by drop, the hot liquid fell and wetted my neck and my shoulders. My heart was wrenching: What had I done? At first, I just wanted to stay with him as the original owner, but I didn't think about how it would hurt him. My deception made him think that the original owner had really come back to life, and he thought that he would never need to be separated from the original owner again, and that he could use his life to love her and make amends to her......
These days, I only think that my dream is shattered, but I forget that he is not like this. And he's a thousand times more painful than me......
I closed my eyes, but tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Xuan'er, I know it's you. I know...... Because I owe you, you want to play such a joke with me, and you want to run away from me. But as I said earlier, my life is yours, and I am willing to punish me as much as you want, but there is only one thing: don't leave me again. I really...... Really can't afford ......"
He slowly let go of me, but his lips were touched, I was startled, turned my head sideways to dodge, and at the same time pressed against his chest, and whispered: "You're drunk, I'...... Not her. ”
He seemed to have regained his senses, was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "I'm drunk, but I'm not drunk enough." He looked at me, a coldness flashing in his eyes. Yan-Lin-Xuan, huh? "He said my name word by word, and every syllable struck my heart.
"Yan-Lin-Xuan, Xuan'er......" He suddenly laughed, the louder he laughed, the more he laughed, the more tears flowed, and he couldn't breathe.
