Chapter 16: Originally came to see her little vault
Uncle Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the person lying on the bed, shocked in his heart. Immediately suddenly, no wonder the prince would not even want his life for her, is she really the person the prince has been looking for for so many years?
Knowing this, Uncle Zhong stopped asking and turned to leave.
The two of them were the only ones left in the room, and the smell of ambergris and Chinese medicine was in the air.
stared at her quietly for a long time, she was sleeping soundly now, and she was really tired. He remembered that when she was in Panlong Village, she was seriously injured in order to save herself. She lay quietly on the bed like this, because she was usually too active, and suddenly quieted down, everyone was not used to it, as if the entire Panlong Village had lost its vitality all of a sudden.
He reached out and carefully ripped the torn clothes off her shoulders, revealing snow-scented shoulders. There was a purple birthmark in the shape of a phoenix feather on her shoulder, and it was when he saw this birthmark that he was so shocked, and his heart changed earth-shatteringly.
The slightly calloused fingers gently rubbed the birthmark, and there was a stream of heat in the eyes that blinded the eyes.
"Zi'er, is that you?" His fingers couldn't help but tremble, and his whole heart twisted when he touched the birthmark.
How could he hurt her like that? This is the Zi'er he has been looking for for ten years? In every midnight dream, it was her petite and fragile body, clinging to his arms. Obviously, my heart hurts so much that I can't do it, but I stubbornly refuse to cry. Her body was burned by the fire, but she gritted her teeth and said she was fine. She gripped his hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.
He promised her that he would protect her for the rest of his life and not let anyone bully her or hurt her. As long as he is there, she will never be alone.
But he abandoned her after all, because she had a high fever and her life was already dying. He had to promise the Taoist priest to take her away, because he said that only he could heal her wounds.
He had no choice but to hand over Zi'er to him. It's just that she has been gone for ten years, and he has been looking for ten years without any news. It's not that he didn't think that she was gone, but he stubbornly didn't want to believe it, and would rather guard the slim chance and send the secret guard to find it. Maybe he has been strong until today with this goal in mind. He has been climbing hard, because he firmly believes that only by standing high can he see far. can also be more capable of protecting her.
But what did he do? She was already by her side, but he hurt her again and again.
She said that just because she was lowly, she was humble, she was not qualified to have love? When I think back to those words now, my heart is like a pinprick.
Pity gently hugged her into his arms, eager to dissolve her into his own blood. Tears finally fell uncontrollably and flowed down her neck. It was the first time he had shed tears since his parents left.
That familiar feeling seemed to have been found again, she was still so petite, so weak. Like a flower in a storm.
Zi'er, you are not lowly at all, you are nobler than anyone else. From now on, I will double my compensation to you. Make up for all the suffering you have suffered over the years. I will never let you leave me again, this time I really did what I said.
It was still that nightmare, with fire everywhere, coming at her like a beast. She ran as hard as she could, but this time the boy was gone. She cried out desperately, "Where are you?" Don't leave me ......"
"Zi'er, I'm here, don't be afraid, I've always been by your side."
It's that familiar voice, but it's no longer immature, but more mature. The whole person suddenly became steady, holding his hand tightly, as if he was not afraid of anything.
Zi'er? The brain gradually cleared up, did that person call her Zi'er? Why is the name so familiar?
It seemed as if someone was touching her cheek, slowly wriggling like a caterpillar.
He opened his eyes violently and faced a slightly sloppy face. His hair was in a bun, his eye sockets were sunken, and his chin was blue, as if he hadn't had a good rest in days. When I saw her, I was surprised and excited.
"Zi'er, are you finally awake?" Xiao Junluo was very happy, he had been guarding her for three days, and he didn't dare to leave an inch. Waiting for him to wake up, and now finally waiting for her to open her eyes, can he not be excited?
It's just that he didn't expect the woman on the bed to stay for a moment, and then he was greeted by an old punch. He was defenseless, and he didn't have a good rest in the past few days, and he was knocked to the ground. The corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was really a little who didn't suffer.
Xia Xiaoxuan was instinctive, and when she saw that the person in front of her was Xiao Junluo, a wave of hatred instantly jumped out and punched her.
But when she finished fighting, she couldn't help but roll on the bed with her arms in pain. Damn, how did you forget that she was injured, because she used too much force and pulled the wound, it really hurt her to death.
Xiao Junluo's heart tightened when he saw her like this, and he couldn't care about the pain on his face, so he hurriedly got up to check her injuries.
"How? Is the wound open? You wait, I'll let Imperial Doctor Lin bandage you. ”
"No need." Although it hurt a lot, Xia Xiaoxuan still sat up strongly. Only then did she realize that she was lying on a luxurious bed, and the furnishings of this room were also magnificent, shouldn't this be the place where she should live as a criminal?
And didn't she deserve to die in the Shura Array? Why is it here? glanced at the slut in front of him suspiciously, why did he have a flattering expression? Shouldn't he have slashed her to death?
"Slut, what the hell do you want to do?" Her eyes were full of wariness, and her body shrank back. Did he think of some new way to harm her? Isn't she even qualified to die happily?
The guilt in the man's heart was even worse, he wanted to get close to her, and when he saw her vigilant gaze, he could only keep a distance from her and give her a little security. Who can be blamed for this, it's not that he did it himself, it seems that he can only take his time. But according to this girl's temper, it seems that he will suffer in the future.
"Zi'er, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you anymore."
Hearing this title, Xia Xiaoxuan instantly exploded. "Who is Zi'er? Lao Tzu's name is Xia Xiaoxuan, don't think of me as your old friend. She tried to swing her fist again, but the pain came, and she had to stay honest.
"Be careful, I know you're going to settle accounts with me, at least until you're healed?" Xiao Junluo looked at her worriedly, but he didn't dare to move forward, for fear of scaring her.
After thinking about it, she still can't be too anxious, and she must always give her some time to get used to it.
"Xuan'er, I'm sorry, I promised you that I won't hurt you again in the future? Can you forgive me before? "Although I don't know what happened to her over the years? Why wasn't that Taoist priest with her, but judging from the current situation, she should have suffered a lot. He deserved to die, how could he still rub salt in her scarred heart?
Xia Xiaoxuan seriously suspected that he had auditory hallucinations, or he had cerebral convulsions. But looking at his clear eyes, it doesn't look like a convulsion. So the guilt and self-blame in his eyes are another conspiracy?
couldn't help sneering, "Slut, you don't have to act anymore, even if I, Xia Xiaoxuan, am stupid, I won't fall on the same person twice." If you want to kill or scrape, please give me a good time, if I ask you for half a word, I will not be a hero. With that, he stepped out of bed, straightened his back, and looked proud. There is really that kind of heroic spirit of righteousness.
found that the man really walked towards her, but subconsciously shrank back into the bed. It seems that this hero is not something that anyone can be a hero, let alone a person who has experienced death once, and definitely does not want to experience it a second time.
Xiao Junluo retracted his footsteps and stayed in the local area. There was pity in his eyes, he had already scared her into a frightened bird.
"Never again, never again to lie to you, never to hurt you again, because I have already been punished." She didn't even remember him, and treated him like an enemy, what is this not retribution?
Xia Xiaoxuan looked at him coldly for a long time, and the sincerity in his eyes did not look like a fake. Could it be that he really had a cerebral convulsion? Or do you use her as a stand-in for his little lover?
Carefully got out of bed again, and walked up to the man step by step, making sure that he would not suddenly attack her. Reached out and touched his forehead, and it didn't burn? So how can you talk nonsense?
"Xuan'er, I don't have a fever, I know it's hard for you to accept it now, I'll tell you about this matter slowly in the future." Know what's going on in her mind? grabbed her hand and said sincerely: "Think about it, you are now in my hands, if I want to kill you, or whatever, isn't it easy?" Why lie to you? ”
She couldn't figure it out, that's why she was so entangled. But if she was told that he suddenly found out in his conscience, or found out that he was in love with her and killed her, she would not believe it.
Oh, she suddenly understood, he must have thought she had a lot of treasure hidden? For the sake of this treasure house, that's why I made a false deal with her. Well, it must be so, I want to set up the place where her treasure is collected, so that I can get a reward.
But how did he know that she had a small vault hidden? This man is too powerful, isn't he? But luckily he didn't know where she was hiding?
At the beginning, she thought that she couldn't be a thief for the rest of her life, after all, this was not a legitimate livelihood, and she always had to find a way back for everyone.
But naturally she wouldn't tell him the whereabouts of this little vault, so she let him look for it, so that she would have more time.
