71. Stealing beams and replacing columns
There was no light at all in the small dark room, quietly, from time to time someone would bring food, a small square hole was opened under the door, the dinner plate was handed in, and it was immediately closed again, and there was no communication at all.
At first, I didn't want to eat, but then my hungry limbs weakened, and after eating, I found that my stomach was full, but the whole person was even more sore, and I was groggy and just wanted to sleep.
I didn't plan to run away, because I knew that even if I did, I wouldn't be able to escape from their hands, and my efforts would be in vain.
I didn't know how many days later, the door finally opened, and there was candlelight coming in, I subconsciously blocked my eyes, so many days without seeing the light, even if the candlelight was soft, my eyes still couldn't adapt for a while.
But at the same time, a handkerchief covered my mouth, and a pungent smell entered my nose, and I fainted.
I don't know what happened after that, but when I woke up again, I was lying on the bed tied up with a cloth in my mouth and something covering my face, unable to see, move, or scream.
It was only at this time that I felt that something was wrong, if someone really wanted to kill me, they wouldn't have locked me up for so many days, and now where did they send me? What's next for me?
I do not know.
I struggled to roll my body, but I couldn't, they used medicine on me, and although I woke up, my body was still sore.
I can only lie there and wait for someone to come.
After about a stick of incense, I heard footsteps, the door was pushed open, and my heart rose to my throat.
Immediately after, footsteps approached the bed, it should be two people, I thought they were coming to grab me, but I didn't expect something to be thrown on the bed with a bang, right next to me.
Then, the footsteps left, and I heard the sound of the door closing and locking.
The one who was thrown next to me was a person, full of alcohol, and when he was thrown over, he snorted, very lightly, and then stopped moving.
I feel like my hairs are standing on end, what does that mean?
Trapping me and throwing a man at me, still a drunkard, does this mean that he is not going to kill me, but also to destroy me?
Do you have to do it so absolutely?
I was thinking nonsense, and the man next to me was slowly breathing rapidly, and I could even feel the heat emanating from him, and the whole person was stiffened with fright.
He also seemed to be uncomfortable, and kept muttering something in his mouth, muttering something that he couldn't hear at all, until his hand inadvertently touched me, and bounced off like an electric shock, but the next moment, the hand reached out again.
It's over, it's completely over, my whole body is hovering on the verge of collapse, whining hard, trying to escape, but there is no way.
"Jiu'er, little Jiu'er."
The man posted it, I finally heard what he was reading, and when I heard him call Xiao Jiu'er, I suddenly realized that this drunk man turned out to be Hu Dingtang!
How could it be, how could he be in my bed?
He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his throat was a little hoarse, and his whole body was scary, obviously he was drunk and did something again.
I wanted to call him, I wanted to tell him who I was, but I couldn't say anything but whining.
After Hu Dingtang stuck to me, his breathing became more rapid, but he seemed to suddenly wake up a little more, and the bullet went away, and I only heard a muffled sound, it should be that he fell into bed.
After a while, he got up, leaned on the edge of the bed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yunxi, you know that I don't like you, why do you use such a trick to deal with me!" ”
Yoon-hee?
Lying on this bed, it should have been Hu Yunxi?
I suddenly thought, is today the third day of the ninth lunar month, the day when Hu Dingtang and Hu Yunxi got married?
This is the old house of the fox clan? Is it the wedding room of Hu Yunxi and Hu Dingtang?
"Yunxi, if you still treat me as your third brother and don't want to turn against me from now on, give me the antidote and let me go, okay?"
Hu Dingtang said with forbearance, his voice was not loud, and he could hear that he was very uncomfortable, and he was now using his only remaining reason to fight against the effects of the medicine.
"You won't be happy with me, I don't have a love for you, and you use this despicable means to control me, which will only make me more disgusted and shameless."
"Woo, woo...... "I'm dying, damn it, if my guess is correct, Hu Liancheng and they will find out sooner or later, and when the time comes, it will be exposed, and we will have no way to live."
"What are you crying about?" Hu Dingtang suddenly asked, "Yunxi, if you are obsessed, this is the beginning of misfortune, and there will be days when you cry in the future, be obedient and give the antidote to the third brother." ”
Hu Dingtang's tone changed, he was tougher at first, but now his tone was coaxing, he said, stood up, and looked down at me: "Why do you keep lying still?" Did they do something to you too? ”
"Isn't it uncomfortable to have such a large piece of red cloth on your face? How are your feet tied? ”
Hu Dingtang is not usually such a noisy and broken mouth, the alcohol and drug effects made his whole person become a little sluggish, I felt him reach out and pull off the rope tied to my feet, and then reached out again and tore off the red cloth covering my face.
The red cloth was torn apart, and I subconsciously closed my eyes, and only after a while did I open them, just in time for Hu Dingtang staring at me.
He stood there in a daze, as if he didn't know me, frowning at me, and I looked at him, a little wondering if this person was stupid, how could he look at me with such eyes?
I still had a cloth in my mouth, my hands not being untied, and I was so angry that I pounded the bed board with both legs.
Hu Dingtang looked at me for a while, his breathing became more and more rapid, both eyes began to redden, and then he turned around and walked towards the door.
I don't know, what's wrong with this guy?
He pushed the door, the door was locked, and the guard outside said: "Uncle, don't waste your efforts, there are more than a dozen checkpoints inside and outside the house, my lord is personally in charge, even if you put on your wings, you can't fly out, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, rest early." ”
After the man finished speaking, he also gave a big hacke, and it was obvious that he was very relieved to the guards in the house, and he was not afraid that Hu Dingtang would run away at all.
Hu Dingtang kicked the door hard, then turned around, and with a bang, swept all kinds of pastries, fruits, dates, peanuts and the like on the round table to the ground, and even overturned the round table and smashed it on the door.
After that, I heard the sound of the glass and jug being smashed, and the rod of the red hijab was broken and thrown on the ground.
As if he had gone crazy, he smashed the things in the marriage room, and finally blew out the red candle and threw it on the ground, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
I lay there, my brow furrowing and furrowing, and I had a fire in my belly, what the hell was crazy about this guy, it looked like he was annoyed at me.
After a while, he reached for the bed, quickly leaned in, fumbled first to untie the rope that bound my hands, and then to remove the cloth from my mouth.
I opened my mouth to get angry, but the next moment, my mouth was blocked again, this time, it was not a cloth, it was Hu Dingtang's hot lips.
I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine in his body, or something else, but he was very enthusiastic, but he kept gagging me and not letting me speak.
I really didn't expect things to develop like this, in the process of Hu Dingtang's siege of the city, I was confused, and I couldn't figure it out.
Hu Dingtang tossed several times before finally letting go of me, it was already late at night, and I couldn't exert my strength, and I was even more tired and couldn't open my eyes.
Hu Dingtang held me in his arms, neither of them spoke, I didn't know what he was thinking, but my heart was full of worry.
Just holding on to the time of half a burnt incense, Hu Dingtang finally whispered close to my ear: "This is a plan, we are both chess pieces." ”
"I know, but I don't know who replaced me and Hu Yunxi, and I don't know how the two of us will get out of trouble after that." I'm puzzled.
Hu Dingtang chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, nothing else matters." ”
When he said this, my whole heart was crisp, and I wanted to cry a little in his arms, but when I thought of what he did just now, I couldn't help but reach out and twist his chest, and complained: "I see that you don't want to be with me, who lifted the table and smashed things just now?" ”
"That's a normal reaction, isn't it?" Hu Dingtang said.
Yes, Hu Dingtang doesn't like Hu Yunxi, there will definitely be a disturbance in this cave room on the night of candles, but after the trouble, with the onset of the drug, it will stop, which is the most normal.
"It's you," Hu Dingtang suddenly said seriously, "why do you always have to leave without permission?" Time and time again, you're sure I'm not really going to let you go, right? ”
This is the coming of the autumn reckoning.
"I didn't mean to." "Every time I weigh the pros and cons before making a decision, I was also heartbroken when I left, but at that moment, I had no choice. ”
Hu Dingtang stretched out his hand and knocked on his head, and asked, "You don't believe that I can keep you?" ”
"I don't believe it." I said bluntly, "Your own body understands by itself, and every time it is a relative in your family who comes forward, do I really want to force you to turn against your relatives for me?" ”
Hu Dingtang smiled dumbly: "If it goes on like this, it will be no different from the enemy." ”
I was silent and hesitated: "Hu Dingtang, I don't feel that your uncle is a good person. ”
"What he did this time was indeed excessive, but it was reasonable, after all, Hu Dingqian pushed him too quickly." Hu Dingtang said.
I shook my head: "Hu Dingtang, I know that you grew up in your uncle's house, and you have a deep relationship with him, and I don't want to sow discord, but there are some things I have to make clear to you." ”
"The reason why I left this time was because your aunt and uncle saw me repeatedly, coerced and enticed, and your uncle made a promise to me, but at the last moment, he kicked me away."
Hu Dingtang frowned and said, "He is trying to force me to come back, so he can only get rid of you first, right?" ”
"What about after you break me apart?" I asked Hu Dingtang rhetorically, "What if it's not me who sleeps in this bed tonight, but Hu Yunxi?" ”
The effect of the drug is onset, whether Hu Dingtang can support it in the end, no one dares to say, once the raw rice is cooked and matured, what else will happen to me?
"After one night, you and Hu Yunxi are already a newlywed, in order not to let me disturb your happiness again, what will happen to me?"
Hu Dingtang couldn't answer my question, but hugged me tighter: "No, I won't do anything wrong, even if it's self-harm, I won't touch her." ”
"Hu Dingtang, you know that the point of what I said is not here." He was obviously evasive, and subconsciously still didn't believe that his uncle was a vicious person who would kill me.
I was a little sad, reached out to his chest, pushed it, and tried to distance myself from him, but he was stunned for a moment, and pulled me back with his backhand: "Angry? ”
"Xiao Jiu'er, I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances recently, and these grievances are all brought to you by me, we have been forced to separate several times, and we can finally get back together, for me, nothing else matters, I only care about one thing now, how to tie you to me, and never let you escape again."
My heart tugged up all of a sudden, there is no woman who doesn't eat this, but my mind is still relatively clear: "Hu Dingtang, don't forget, this is your uncle's territory, this wedding room is prepared for Hu Yunxi's wedding, and now it's me who is lying on this bed, you say, will I have a good end?" ”
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you, trust me." Hu Dingtang said, "Tonight, who stole the beams and replaced you and Yunxi, what is his purpose, and where is Yunxi at the moment, have you ever thought about it?" ”
I shook my head: "I was abducted from Hu Dingkun, locked up in a small dark room for a few days, and finally sent here, I didn't even know what this place was until you entered the wedding room." ”
Hu Dingtang said: "That's it, think about it, who in the entire fox clan wants to destroy this wedding the most?" Who can easily take you away from Hu Dingkun quietly? ”
"Do you mean Hu Dingqian?" I asked.
Hu Dingtang nodded: "It's very likely that it's him." ”
I guessed that it was also Hu Dingqian, but I was not sure: "Then you mean that Hu Yunxi is there with Hu Dingqian now?" He wouldn't be so reckless, would he? ”
"Hu Dingqian won't do it himself, if he really does this, the means are too despicable, grandpa will be disappointed in him, he has thousands of choices, but he doesn't dare to choose this path easily." Hu Dingtang judged.
I was noncommittal: "Hu Dingtang, don't forget, now in Hu Dingqian's heart, you have a huge threat to him, his status in your grandfather's mind has long been much worse than before, maybe he has broken the jar and doesn't care at all?" ”
"This ......" Hu Dingtang was also messed up by what I said, "It's really a mess." ”
Hu Dingtang suddenly hugged me tightly, pulled the quilt well, and said: "Let's sleep for a while, it's impossible to escape now, we can only wait for the east window incident, the soldiers will come to cover the water, we have to take care of our spirits to better deal with everything that is about to happen." ”
"You have a really big heart, aren't you afraid of being chopped by your uncle in your sleep?" I teased.
Hu Dingtang shook his head: "He doesn't dare, even if I disobey again, my grandfather doesn't use the family law, no one will really dare to take my life." ”
He paused, and then comforted: "As long as I have a breath here, no one will want to touch a single hair of yours." ”
Speaking of sleep, in fact, neither of them really fell asleep.
How dare you really sleep, thinking about things in a mess, thinking about the next coping strategy, if you can fall asleep, that's really heartless.
I don't think many people will be able to really sleep this night, right?
……
As soon as the day was bright, Hu Dingtang got up and got dressed, cleaned up, I was sore, lazy, and when he got it right, I got up, got dressed, and was about to comb my hair, Hu Dingtang came over: "I'll help you comb it." ”
"Can you comb a woman's hair?" I asked.
Hu Dingtang shook his head: "No, I haven't helped women comb it, but I want to try." ”
As he spoke, he had helped me spread out my hair, and he took a mahogany comb and combed it to help me comb my hair.
He moves very slowly, very carefully, just combs his hair through, and doesn't braid his hair or anything.
I looked at his movements in the mirror and said, "I see that many women in the town have started to have short haircuts, ear-length and shoulder-length, which are easy to take care of, and they are quite good-looking." ”
Hu Dingtang shook his head: "I still like the way you have long hair, you look good no matter how you comb it, and you have no style." ”
I looked up at him and asked, "What about you?" Does your hair get cut? ”
Hu Dingtang's hand paused, thought for a while, and shook his head: "No." ”
"Actually, I think you should be more handsome if you have short hair." I looked at him and said, "You are handsome, your face is angular and angular, and you have a manly spirit, which is completely different from Hu Dingkun, he is too feminine." ”
"With me, I still think about other men in my heart, Xiao Jiu'er, you are too much." Hu Dingtang deliberately put on a straight face to tease me.
I didn't fall for him, I clenched my fist and smashed him, he grabbed my fist, just wanted to teach me a lesson, the door that had been locked was kicked to the ground with a bang, smashed up a layer of dust, Hu Dingtang and I looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Hu Liancheng standing at the door with a murderous face, staring at us as if he was going to eat people.
Hu Dingtang subconsciously protected me behind him and said, "Uncle! ”
"You still know that I am your uncle!" Hu Liancheng said angrily, "You explain to me, what's going on!" ”
Hu Dingtang laughed and said: "I was thinking about helping Xiao Jiu'er dress up and lead her to thank my uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to be so aware of the righteousness and eliminate all difficulties to match us together, this surprise is really the best wedding gift you give to your nephew, uncle." ”
I hid behind Hu Dingtang, nervous to death, and almost laughed out loud by his words, Hu Dingtang's preemptive move is simply wonderful!
