Chapter 2 The moonlight tung blossoms are blooming
Tong Rou looked at the incense stick that had been extinguished on the bow of the boat, and looked at the open lake in front of her worriedly, but still didn't see her sister.
She waited again before she put on the black cloak that her sister had left for her, and at the end of the day, she carefully covered her head.
She was familiar with the path back, and she had followed her sister back and forth many times.
Since the forbidden lake, no one dares to go to the lake anymore, and my sister found this path early because she was familiar with the terrain, and she should never be discovered.
It was getting late at night, and the path was obscured by the shadows of the trees, and there was hardly any sound except for the occasional muttering of crickets.
Tongrou was a little scared, she usually followed her sister, and she never felt that this night road was so scary.
She listened to the squeaky crickets, and thought that the insect must have been brave because she was afraid, so she also hummed softly, "One day in the raccoon dog, take the fox from the other, for the son Qiu...... July in the wild, August in the sky, September in the house, October crickets under my bed......"
humming and walking like this, I was no longer afraid, and I thought of a ballad I heard in the market during the day, and sang casually: "Don't chase the swallow, chase the swallow and fly high, fly high and fly Godgi......"
She thought the tune was good, and she sang it several times.
"Mo chases the swallow, chases the swallow and flies high, and flies high in the ......"
When he first heard this song, he was first attracted by the voice of Qingling, like the gentle murmur of a mountain spring and a stone, which was particularly refreshing in this night.
Qi Tai, who was walking behind him, stopped suddenly.
This place has been classified as a forbidden place as early as the Hongwu period, and there should be no people. Moreover, the meaning of this ballad ...... This swallow wants to fly high into Diji. And the four emperor uncles who have not moved for a long time are none other than King Yan......
Qi Tai didn't notice the intoxicated demeanor of the person in front of him, and he glanced back at the guard coldly, and the guard immediately bowed away.
Tong Rou didn't see how the person in front of her appeared, and when she looked up and saw him, a long knife with colorful decorations was already coldly placed around her neck.
She was so frightened that she couldn't even scream on her lips.
The brocade guard didn't expect it to be a weak woman, and was stunned for a moment before asking in a deep voice, "Who is it?!" ”
Kirirou opened her mouth, unable to make a sound. This man's face was truly terrifying, like the most terrifying nightmare in the middle of the night.
The brocade guard looked frightened and stunned when he saw her, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but his hand was a little heavier, "How to break into the forbidden land?" ”
Tong Rou felt a pain in her neck, as if something was dripping, and suddenly tears rolled in her eyes.
Jin Yiwei He had dealt with such a situation, his brows were furrowed, and the knife in his hand was not collected, after all, the identity of the person who followed behind him was really extraordinary.
"Lu Duwei......" someone said.
Although the voice was not loud and had no intention of reproach, the brocade guard heard this, hurriedly released the scimitar in his hand, turned around and saluted and retreated.
Kiryu watched as a man paced out of the dark forest behind him, and he was shining on him by the moonlight that had thrown him into the forest.
The navy blue robe is straight, the cloud shoulders are covered with sleeves and knee lines, and the red jade belt is painted with five gold lines. I don't know if it is soaked in the moonlight, the face seems to be carefully carved from a piece of jade, and between the ups and downs, it obviously has an awe-inspiring bearing, but it is quiet and soft.
Tong Rou didn't know what was wrong with her, she was obviously so scared that she couldn't move. Now that the fierce and vicious person is gone, looking at this pleasant person in front of him, why can't he move?
Zhu Yunwen looked at the woman in front of her, she was wrapped in a black cloak, and only her palm-sized face was exposed. However, in the year of the golden hairpin cardamom, it has shown a bright eye......
At this moment, she looked at herself in horror, and a knife mark on her jade-colored neck was already red.
He sighed secretly in his heart, Lu Xun didn't have to say that he was dutiful, but he didn't know how to pity the jade......
Thinking of this, he took a white handkerchief from his sleeve and put it around her neck.
Tong Rou didn't expect it, and she didn't know whether she was in pain or surprised, but when the handkerchief touched the wound, she shivered suddenly. But biting his lip, he didn't let the water in his eyes fall.
"Don't be afraid......," he said comfortingly, "Fang Cai's subordinates have made a serious move, and I will accompany him." ”
Lu Xun, who was not far behind him, heard this, and hurriedly lowered his body a lot.
This is going to lose his life, and the Son of Heaven actually paid for himself......
Qi Tai was already on fire in his belly, and he couldn't help it until this time, so he took half a step forward and softened his tone as much as possible, "This girl, why is she here?" ”
"I ...... I'm lost......" where would Kirirou lie, and her weakness and panic were all written on her face.
Qi Tai frowned between his eyebrows, and his fierce expression immediately appeared, "But there are others?" ”
"No, no, it's just me." Tong Rou hurriedly said, can't let them know that her sister secretly picked lotus pods in the forbidden lake.
"What kind of tune did you just sing?" Qi Tai then asked.
Tong Rou was stunned, "That's what I heard from the street, a crazy Taoist priest, singing all the way, many children singing along the way......"
"Do you know......" Qi Tai was about to say something again, Zhu Yunwen turned his face slightly, and Qi Tai hurriedly stopped.
Zhu Yunwen motioned for her to hold down the wound herself, "It's okay, where do you live?" Can you find it back? ”
Tong Rou just wanted to say that she knew how to go back, but remembered that she had already said that she was lost, and hurriedly said: "I live in Pearl Bridge, but I don't know where to go right now......"
"It's a good way," Zhu Yunwen said, "You might as well take my carriage and I'll give you a ride." ”
Qi Tai wanted to speak, looking at the eyes of the Son of Heaven at this moment, and he could bear it again.
Seeing that the woman was walking towards the carriage outside the forest, Qi Tai called Lu Xun not far away, and lowered his voice, "Send someone to check around, if there is anyone else ......?"
Tong Rou looked at the son sitting opposite, at this moment his mind was solemn, his eyes did not fall into place, and there was a shallow furrow between his eyebrows.
She took off the handkerchief around her neck, and it didn't hurt so much anymore, but the snow-white handkerchief was stained with red dots, which was very eye-catching.
"Childe, I'll wash this veil and return it ......"
"No need!" He said suddenly, his voice hurried and annoyed.
Looking at her obvious stunned, he realized that Fang Cai's voice was not necessary, and his tone was a little terrifying.
He softened, "It's an old thing, and the girl can throw it away when she finishes using it." With that, he regained his silence, but his expression was full of loneliness.
A cooing sound suddenly came from Kirirou's belly, which was especially noticeable in the quiet car. She was flushed with shame, and the boy had already taken a box of shortbread from the side of the table, handed it to her, and did not say anything.
Tong Rou saw that the pastry jade snow crystal was very tempting, and it was really difficult to shirk it, so she took a piece and took a bite, full of fragrance.
Zhu Yunwen looked at her and was distracted again.
This pastry has a faint smell of wine, and most people don't like to eat it, but the fourth uncle likes it as much as himself. I often let the imperial dining room make a big box, and the two of them talked while eating...... At that time, I was about the same as the woman's expression now, happy and satisfied......
After eating several pieces in one go, Tong Rou realized that the boy was staring at her, and she blushed again.
Just as he was about to say something, the carriage stopped, and someone outside: "We have arrived at the Pearl Bridge." ”
Tong Rou hurriedly got up and blessed herself, "Thank you, Childe." Before he could speak, he hurriedly picked up his skirt and got out of the car.
The carriage did not stop any longer, and then sprang away, disappearing into the deep night.
Tong Rou pinched the handkerchief in one hand and half a piece of pastry in the other, a little in a trance, she had never seen such a gentle and elegant son, who looked like a character in a painting......
Just as she was about to leave, she only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and suddenly lost consciousness.
