Chapter 276: Helpless
Updated: >
Xiao Ruo said a few words to make Concubine Shu realize that the idle medicine was useless to her, and it was expected that they would not dare to risk the danger of startling the snake and directly give her the most poisonous medicine, which could be regarded as indirectly fulfilling her idea of pretending to be an ostrich and living a quiet life.
Suddenly, a few days passed in such a hurry. The miscellaneous book that Fu'er had finally obtained, was also turned over by Xiao Ruo, and the paper was a little messy. After all, in this palace, how many people can read and write, except for the master, what do the palace maids and eunuchs want to do with the useless books
Xiao Ruo, who was looking down at the book in his hand, was really in a daze, and suddenly felt that the light around him seemed to be dimmed. I was slightly stunned in my heart, and I looked up without thinking about it, and this glance made Xiao Ruo unable to take his eyes off it.
Not far from the bed, a man was standing at some point. Dressed in a black power suit, it looks particularly conspicuous in this bright sunshine. With his hands behind his back, the whole person stood there abruptly without saying a word, looking at Xiao Ruo without blinking, motionless.
The book in his hand fell on the bed, but Xiao Ruo still didn't realize it. The body trembled more and more, the two delicate lips became tighter and tighter, and the tears that accumulated in the eyes were pouring down like a river bursting the embankment in an instant. Tears blurred Xiao Ruo's vision, and she wanted to see more clearly, so she reached out directly, wanting to wipe away the endless tears.
Speechless, it's not that she doesn't want to speak, but because she's afraid that as soon as she opens her mouth, she will wake up from her dream. It's not that she doesn't believe her eyes, it's just that it all came too suddenly, and suddenly something overwhelmed her.
That familiar face, I still remember that year she was framed by her aunt and concubine in the house, how angry he was for her at that time, and how he blamed himself that year he was so ruthless that he left home to join the army, leaving her sister-in-law alone at home; I still remember that time when she was accidentally injured by Lan Yucheng, how he didn't hesitate to exhaust his internal strength, rushed towards the villa with her in his arms, and held a grudge against the person who hurt her.
Brother, is it you Xiao Ruoduo wanted to announce this sentence, but she didn't dare, afraid that all this was just a mirage derived from the scorching summer. Tears rolled down again, as if stained with the summer heat, and it was a little scary: since you can't wipe it out, then don't wipe it
Xiao Ruo was reluctant to look away, afraid that he would never be able to find it again in the next second. Slowly groping her way down from the bed, she didn't stop when she stepped on the cold green bricks with her bare feet. The embroidered shoes on the side of the bed had been run out of her mind, and her eyes were now full of only the brother in front of her, who had the same blood as her, the brother who loved her and loved her.
Step by step, walking forward, the distance between the two of them is getting closer and closer. Xiao Ruo could clearly feel that her heartbeat was accelerating, and the sourness on the tip of her nose was getting thicker and thicker, so serious that she felt a little about to suffocate.
It's just that before she could reach out and touch her brother, she felt that everything was turned upside down. Her brother was still there, but the hand at her neck, without the slightest warmth, was holding her throat, and the real suffocation that threatened her life rushed towards her with lightning speed. What made her feel even more incredible was that the hand that wanted to end her life turned out to be her brother, who she had missed for so many years.
Xiao Ruo's feet were already off the ground, and the hanging body made the burden on his throat even more serious. Losing the cold touch of the soles of her feet, Xiao Ruo suddenly struggled to pull the hand that had no trace of temperature with her hands, which was so cold that it completely chilled her heart, familiar, but at the same time extremely unfamiliar.
"Hahaha, it's really a good show" Suddenly, the door of the room opened, and Lan Shikang stood at the front, sneering and clapping his hands loudly.
Before Xiao Ruo could react, he heard a voice coming from behind Lan Shikang: "This is like a delicate sister to you, you can't help but don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so don't you quickly put it down~" After speaking, there was a burst of coquettish laughter that made people feel a little cold.
The restraint around his neck was suddenly loosened, and Xiao Ruo breathed in the air that poured in at this moment with some greed. Xu was too anxious, Xu was a little emotional, and Xiao Ruo just sat on the ground weakly, and there was a violent cough.
The feather fan boy behind Lan Shikang gently shook his white feather fan and walked slowly to Xiao Ruo. The fan was pressed against Xiao Ruo's jaw, and the feather fan boy frowned, and said rather regretfully: "Tut-tut, the materials for soul chasing three breaths refining are expensive, and it is really a waste that you are still alive." ”
Xiao Ruo gradually calmed down his breathing, shook his head and wanted to avoid the feather fan, but in the blink of an eye, he left a faint blood mark on his neck, and the bright red blood gradually seeped out, flowing slowly along the neck, imprinting Xiao Ruo's plain clothes.
I can't care about Lan Shikang in front of me, I can't care about the person who killed me in the past, I can't care about the scar on my neck that is leaving blood, Xiao Ruo looked at Lin Zhijie stupidly, she didn't admit her mistake, the person with the fan just now also said that the familiar man in front of her was indeed her brother in this life, even if just now, he almost killed her.
It's just that his eyes are so cold, even colder than the green bricks under her. Is my brother angry that she let the Lin Mansion get involved in the tragedy of plotting to usurp the throne, or is she angry that she didn't protect herself, and her brother will always be so gentle with her, this time she must be angry, so how to look at her.
But why is his brother with Lan Shikang, doesn't he know that his father was smeared by Lan Shikang for his life's exploits, and then beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, doesn't he know that his grandmother and mother were killed by the person who is neither male nor female next to Lan Shikang, doesn't he know that so many people up and down the Lin Mansion died because of these people
The tears of grievance fell again, and she didn't have the heart to explore why Lan Shikang found out that she was Lin Mengyu, and she didn't have the heart to plan the next step for herself, she just wanted to know why her brother, who she hadn't seen for a few years, her only relative in this world, looked at her like this, and she wanted to cry.
Lan Shikang, who had never spoken on the side, raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Ruo, who looked lost his soul, and said, "Miss Lin San, how do you feel when you see your own brother standing in front of you?"
Xiao Ruo looked away and looked at Lan Shikang, looking at the playful smile on her face, she couldn't wait to reach out and knock it off now. Tightening his fists, Xiao Ruo said in a hoarse voice: "What the hell did you do to my brother?"
The thoughts that were going to turn around couldn't suppress her deepest fears. She would rather that her brother was deceived by Lan Shikang, or that her brother had to be Lan Shikang's lackey in order to live, she would rather have anything happen, and she didn't want her brother to become what she thought in her heart. If only she hadn't known.
"Giggles, you see that your brother hasn't aged in the past few years, so he won't bury his face. Being the number one entourage under the name of my lupine boy should be the proudest thing in his life. The feather fan boy covered his mouth with a feather fan, and smiled coquettishly like a flower branch.
Xiao Ruo shook her head and looked at Lin Zhijie again in disbelief, and her empty eyes once again verified her thoughts. No matter what happened here, he didn't react at all, even if she did die at his hands just now, it was just like an ant dead, no different.
At that time, when they were still in the valley, the old man Shenji and Mr. Jiang often went out early and returned late for a period of time, and occasionally mentioned that the leaders of some sects in the rivers and lakes suddenly disappeared, and they appeared by chance, but they didn't recognize their former relatives and friends at all, as if they were captured by ghosts, and they killed people when they saw them. At that time, the old man said that this matter might be related to Lan Shikang, but unexpectedly, Lin Zhijie's sudden disappearance turned out to be like this.
"Brother, I'm Mengyu, I'm your sister, wake up, wake up" Xiao Ruo got up from the ground, walked in front of Lin Zhijie, and stretched out his hand to shake him vigorously. She knew that it was futile to do this, but she still did it without hesitation.
Lan Shikang sneered, he was not interested in continuing to appreciate it, so he said to the feather fan: "Take good care of her, don't let her have any mistakes, I am also going to use her to lure out my good nephew." After saying that, Lan Shikang turned around and left with the people.
"My subordinates understand." The feather fan boy bowed and saluted until he disappeared from Lan Shikang, then he turned around and waved the feather fan towards Lin Zhijie and said, "Take her, let's go back to our place" After speaking, he twisted his waist and walked towards the door.
Hearing this, Lin Zhijie stretched out his hand and knocked a palm on Xiao Ruo's neck. Xiao Ruo rolled his eyes, and fainted directly in Lin Zhijie's arms.
When Xiao Ruo woke up again, she was already lying in a place similar to a prison cell. Except for a small window in the door, there was no vent here, which directly interrupted her desire to escape.
Sitting on the damp straw pile, Xiao Ruo's confused eyes began to slowly gather, and he slowly remembered what happened before. The master said that the person who has been taken by the soul has become a living puppet, although he can still move, but he is already exactly the same as a dead person, without any breath, without any temperature, even if he is injured, he does not feel anything.
What should she do that is her own brother, helpless, powerless, exhausted feeling surging towards Xiao Ruo frantically, she is like a thin straw, floating in the vast and boundless sea, and it is possible to be completely destroyed by the wind and waves that roll over at any time.
