Chapter 23. Broken dreams
The two were silent as if they had a tacit understanding, and they could only hear each other's rapid breathing and heartbeat. For some reason, the silence was reassuring.
Niankong, you are not a monster, you are a person of flesh and blood, affection and righteousness. Back then, you were trapped in a cave, on the line between life and death, and it was difficult for anyone to get out. Sticking to the rules and waiting for death alone in such a situation is a sign of cowardice. Surviving requires extreme tenacity.
I hugged him tightly, and my heart was full of emotion: he had seen the death of someone he cared about time and time again, and maybe even the culprit. That's not all, he has been abused by resentment since he was a child, and if he was an idle person, he would have been unable to bear it long ago, and he would have killed himself." But he ......
It suddenly occurred to me that there must be a belief in him to live, or more appropriately, an obsession, what could it be?
Connecting with the poison in his body...... Could it be that it is revenge that has supported him all the way to today? Who does he want to avenge himself? What the? Or Yue Lingqi? But he had already killed Shen Yan, and he could be regarded as avenging Yue Lingqi. But what if he wanted to avenge his mother? I don't believe he would have killed his own mother for no reason, there must have been a bloody conspiracy involved. But what price will he pay for revenge?
Before today, before I learned that he was the Ling Commander in the mouth of the people, I didn't even notice that he had such a past, he was so forbearing, so distressing......
I heard the sound of heavy breathing, and I instantly came back to my senses and looked at the people around me. I saw that he was already asleep, but his eyebrows were frowning tightly. I couldn't bear it, and reached out to caress it, trying to rub it open. But he didn't want to rub it twice, and his wrist was suddenly held by him. When he was stunned, his hand was tightly grasped by him and pressed to his chest.
"Nian Kong." I whispered to him. He was still asleep, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his brows furrowed again, and his breathing became more and more rapid, as if he had experienced something extremely painful in a dream.
"Mother...... Mother ......" His voice was full of pain and despair.
His words were choppy, and I was very worried to hear them.
"Xuan'er...... Xuan'er ......"
When I heard these two words, my heart trembled: he must have called the original owner.
"Xuan'er...... I didn't think about it...... Didn't want to hurt you...... Please...... Wake up...... Wake up......"
His voice was slightly choked, the green tendons on his neck bulged, and the hand holding me tighter. I let him hold it, and my heart felt like it had been cut by a thousand sharp blades. I have never seen such a fragile side of him, so I have never thought about how much pain is hidden in his heart, and I have forgotten that even if he has experienced so much suffering, he is still an ordinary person who can hurt and hurt.
His breath suddenly stagnated, and his voice trembled: "You...... Who are you?! You're not her! Who are you!? ”
Hearing this, my brain went blank for a moment, and then it came back to me: he was asking me! He remembered what had happened during the day these days, and realized that I was not the original owner.
The heart was completely cold, but at the same time, there was a hint of joy in his heart: his poison was cured! Solved! I saved him after all!
I couldn't help but turn up the corners of my mouth, but I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck. Suddenly he came back to his senses, and found that he had woken up, but there was no tenderness in his eyes, but a look of anger.
He grabbed me by the neck and threw me off the haystack with a hard flick. I fell heavily on the ground, but I didn't feel any pain.
"Who are you?" There was a fierceness in his tone that I had never heard before.
Xiu Li said really well, he really will only be gentle with the original owner.
"Who are you to resemble her!?"
His neck was choked again, and there was not a single sound in his throat, so he could only look at him.
As if he had thought of something, he suddenly grabbed the back of my head and brought his face closer. I was a little panicked, but he just put his face to my ear. The chill of his fingertips came from his ears. I suddenly remembered that in my previous life, I had a cinnabar mole behind my right ear, which I had since I was born, could it be that the original owner also had similar physical characteristics?
After a moment, he let me go, but suddenly he put his finger between my eyebrows, his eyes slightly closed, and he held his breath slightly.
The familiar sensation of electric shock came again.
Soul Resistant!?
He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief in addition to anger.
"You...... You're from a thousand years later! His voice was cold, but trembling slightly.
It turns out that he can also resist souls. Then he should have understood by now that it was me, an otherworldly ghost, who had taken possession of his sweetheart's body, right? What will he do to me?
His gaze moved down from my face, fixed somewhere, frowning. I wondered, and looked down at him. I saw that Fang Cai didn't tidy up his middle coat in a hurry, and the front placket was a little scattered, revealing a small piece of skin. I was embarrassed, and I just wanted to tidy up, but I felt him suddenly look away.
He seemed to think of something suddenly, and turned to the haystack where we had just tied, where his coat was still covered, but it was no longer as smooth as before.
I don't know: what is he looking at? But suddenly he felt that the back of his neck was clasped by him. Then I felt only a strong force, and from that force I could vaguely sense that he seemed to be angry.
My body swooped uncontrollably against the haystack, my head pressed against the haystack by him, the left cheek against his coat, the hay piercing my face through the fabric, the tip of my nose lingering with the smell of the aftermath. I suddenly ......
"You...... You ......" he gritted his teeth, unable to spit out the entire sentence.
I felt sad in my heart: I had expected him to go mad, but I didn't expect it to be in such a situation.
I smiled wryly again, and it seemed to infuriate him even more.
"What did you do!?" He stared at me and said in a cold tone.
I was stunned. That's right, the original owner is everyone's girlfriend, and he is the person on the tip of his heart, how could he accept that the original owner lost his body before the accident? He only thinks it's me, and I, a ghost from another world, can't bear to be lonely...... But how could he not think about it, I have been in Fengli Mountain almost since I woke up, except for him and Xiuli, I have never had the opportunity to contact men.
"Speak!" He grabbed me by the collar and I just stared at him.
It's over, this doomed dream is finally over, he is no longer the Nian Kong who treats me gently, but the ruthless leader. Who can I blame now? It was I who deceived him and concealed him, the path I chose by myself, and I don't regret coming to this point.
"Now that you know the truth, let me go, I'...... Not her. "I tried desperately to make my voice sound calmer.
"Let's go?" He sneered. "You are so naïve! Now that you have taken possession of her, you will bear it for her. She is my person, and this body is naturally mine, so you don't want to get out. His words sounded calm, but I could sense that he was trying to restrain some emotion, something that could not be exposed to me.
Suddenly, I heard a rumbling sound in the direction of the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that the entrance of the cave that had been blocked had been cleared by someone, and it didn't take long for a man in a strong suit to stride over. The person who came was Xiao Jifeng, and he was followed by dozens of subordinates.
Xiao Jifeng stood still beside Ling Niankong, as if he had also smelled the beautiful smell in the air, and he twisted his eyebrows. "The Commander is going home?"
Ling Niankong raised his hand and pointed at me. "Take her back with you and keep her under strict supervision."
"Yes!" Xiao Jifeng seemed to be a little surprised, but he replied simply.
I only wore such a middle coat, and was escorted into a carriage by the people brought by Xiao Jifeng. Ling Niankong didn't get in the same car with me, and soon after getting into the car, the wheels began to spin around.
The trail was a bit bumpy, and I was so tired that I couldn't help but lie down on my side. The wind brought up by the galloping carriage blew the curtain of the chariot to the sound of hunting, and the cold wind of late autumn poured in mercilessly.
I was cold, and I unconsciously put my hands to my lips, trying to breathe in a breath to warm my frozen hands, but I couldn't help but be stunned: the nails of my ten fingers were faint with black gas. This situation seems familiar, didn't my nails also have black symptoms when I first arrived here? Thinking of this, he immediately checked his pulse and found that the poison had been resolved. However, to my surprise, my pulse at the moment was almost the same as the one I had seen the last time I had seen my nails blackened: they were all visceral deficiencies.
The symptoms of these two poisonings are so similar, is it ...... Is it the same poison? But that poison is the antidote to Mengzhisan, if the original owner has been poisoned before, then it means ...... She had also tried to detoxify the man, apparently without success. But when I woke up, the poison in my body was obviously gone...... So...... The loss of the original owner was actually someone who detoxified her...... However, it is also possible that the man who had a relationship with the original owner did not know about it, but just happened to detoxify the original owner. But since the original owner was willing to sacrifice his innocence to detoxify Ling Niankong at that time, it means that the original owner has fallen in love with him, how can he have a relationship with others? The only explanation is that the original owner was violated, but who is that person?
The carriage shook suddenly, and I was caught off guard, and my head hit the wall of the car firmly, and suddenly tears swirled in my eyes, and my heart somehow soured. It seemed to shatter all my sanity.
