I crouched down and looked at the scorpion with some confusion.

How naïve and stupid I was.

I think that if you like someone, what you should do is to always think about him and give everything for him.

In order to cure Aunt Yue's chronic illness, I traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions to find this little thing the size of a palm.

The tip of its tail was erected in vigilance, and its head swayed slightly, already in an offensive stance.

Did I find the fire scorpion here in my last life? I don't quite remember.

Yao Zisheng should have been with me at that time and accompanied me to search for it.

He said he was also interested in the fire scorpion, a rare hot poisonous scorpion insect. I really believed it at the time.

I was so stupid back then.

That's why I came to this place.

At the moment when I flashed like this, the fire scorpion jumped up.

The scorpion was cut in half and fell to the sand.

I flicked the scorpion's head with the tip of my sword to see if this thing had the guts to speak...... I guess it's going to be cut off in the lower half, right?

The tail that had been cut in two was still moving, and just as I picked up the tip of the tail, the fiery red tail needle was cocked again, and pierced my fingertips accurately.

My hand went limp, and my sword fell to the ground.

No, it doesn't hurt.

It's not poisoned.

The fingertip was pierced by the truncated needle, and he was unconscious. I lifted my finger, and there was only a reddish scar on the tip of my finger.

No, it shouldn't be that way.

The fire scorpion is highly poisonous, and the tail needle after death is even more poisonous than when it was alive. Stung by a common venomous scorpion and still red, swollen and painful, this ......

My eyes were flowering, my legs were weak, and I was kneeling on the sand.

It's fake, the fire scorpion is fake –

A flood of chaotic voices and broken images came to me.

I haven't been stung by a scorpion. So at this point the flaw is exposed.

It was still empty in front of me, but suddenly I heard a human voice, coming from far away.

Yao Zisheng had a disgusted expression: "You don't know this as well as me, get out of the way of my business." ”

"Be careful, too."

"I know." Yao Zisheng's body and face are more immature than his peers, he doesn't smile often, he always has a calm face when he looks at people, and he looks like a very eccentric child. Maybe it was because he had been in the company of poisonous Gu insects and beasts for many years, which affected his normal growth.

He turned his head and smiled at me, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes brightened.

I smiled back. Some of them reached out in a daze, and the illusion dissipated at the touch of a button.

The smile on the corner of his mouth had not disappeared, and tears were flowing down his face.

The face is cold. Tears are hot.

The wind tightened again, and tears quickly dried on his face.

I remember......

The last missing piece was finally put together.

It wasn't me who was stung by the fire scorpion, it was Yao Zisheng.

The fire scorpion that had been cut in two could still hurt people, neither he nor I thought about it.

Hot poison attacks the heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had been treating poison for many years and had some resistance, he might have died at that time.

I am anxious to find someone to heal him, but in this place, the heavens should not be called the earth, where can I seek medical treatment? His face darkened. actually said that fortunately it was him who was stung, if it were me. That's dead.

At that time, I was really desperate, this place was so far away from the Central Plains, there was not even a person to talk to, the night was so long, and the wind whizzed into the house through the cracks in the sheepskin. The heavens will never light up.

I've never felt so remorseful as I did then.

I was the one who caused him, and I should have been the one who died for this.

"You...... Crying? ”

I threw myself to the bed in surprise and joy. wiped his face indiscriminately: "Who cried." What do you think? ”

"You're just crying." The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't even have the strength to laugh. He was so thin that he lay there almost buried in a sheepskin mattress.

He was as proud as a child.

"Yes," I nodded, "I'm crying." ”

"I won't...... Dead. He said this as if in solemn proclamation: "Otherwise, you will not weep in vain." ”

He didn't die, but the scorpion venom lingered in my heart, and I lay in the small inn for nearly a month, bloodletting, poison pulling, and luck, all these methods I used, but fortunately I carried a life-saving pill that my father gave me, and I also took it for him.

When he was able to move, he found medicine to expel himself, and then urged me to leave for Beijing.

At that time, I actually understood his intentions, right?

But what about understanding? At that time, I thought I was in love with Wen Fei wholeheartedly.

I yearn for the unswerving love between my parents, and since I love it, I must be single-minded and unswerving.

I am grateful for his kindness to me, but I can't repay him.

To completely cure him, I need the extremely rare holy medicine Baicao Dan, which is the precious medicine that my father brought to me to save my life. The prescription has long been lost, and my father only has one pill, which gave me self-defense.

But this pill can only suppress, but cannot dissolve and heal his poisonous wounds.

Since my predecessors were able to cure this medicine, I will definitely be able to try this medicine again.

I will always heal his wounds, and I will not let him die for me.

…… I can't give him anything else, at least I can do it for him.

To prepare Baicaodan, not to mention the complicated process, many rare herbs and ingredients are also needed.

And the fire scorpion gall that was finally obtained with great difficulty was prepared into medicine and brought back......

On the day I arrived in the capital, I was just in time for Wen Fei to get married.

Everything is already wrong.

I stood in the middle of the crowd, staring blankly at everything in front of me.

Do the Wen family have a happy event? Whose happy event? How come Wen Fei's letter to me was never in advance?

Maybe it's too late.

His last letter was three months ago.

Look at this posture, it is to marry a new daughter-in-law.

Which of his brothers is it? It's so pompous, and it looks even more lively and extravagant than the last time I came.

I don't want to stay here and watch the excitement.

Mrs. Wen's sons are not in harmony with Wen Fei, Wen Fei is ...... at this time Maybe it was behind, by his mother's side.

I pressed the medicine bottle in my arms, this is the medicine that Yao Zisheng helped dispense, and it is very good for Aunt Yue's body. There is also a sword spectrum. Roll into a small bundle and put it together with the medicine bottle.

The sound of firecrackers exploded in the ears, and people rushed over and shouted, "The sedan chair is coming!" Here comes the bride! ”

I was squeezed to an unstable footing, and the sound of suona gongs and drums sounded so noisy at this moment.

Sure enough, the welcoming team got closer and closer, and a bright red color stabbed people's eyes slightly.

I don't know why, I suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.

It's like the heavy heart palpitations before the thunderstorm on a summer day.

I know what is going to happen, but I can't predict whether it will be the next moment.

The whole street. I saw only the bridegroom.

He was on a horse, taller than everyone else, and conspicuous.

I used to imagine. What Wen Fei looked like in the groom's robe, he didn't seem to fit such a bright red, maybe the red was more suitable for him than the magenta—I thought I was wrong.

The smoke of firecrackers filled the air, and the noise around me seemed to be muffled, and I couldn't hear anything.

Wen Fei rode a white horse. A large red flower was tied to his chest, and he arched his hand to the left and right with a smile on his face.

I felt that my feet were too weak to support my body, and I wanted to move forward, but I couldn't move a single step.

"Wen Fei—"

My shouts were so faint that I couldn't even hear them.

He paused slightly, then turned his head to this direction.

I looked at him steadily.

That's right. It's not a dream, it's not an illusion. It's him.

The bridegroom on horseback, the man I miss every day.

He held my hand as we parted. Said affectionately: "I'm waiting for you, I want to come back early." ”

Is that person the same as the one right now?

Something must have gone wrong, there must have been some misunderstanding.

Maybe it was his father who forced him, or maybe it was Mrs. Wen. Perhaps...... His gaze collided with mine in the air, and that moment of effort. I knew he saw me.

But he turned his head away, and someone bumped me, and I was pushed and shoved into the corner, and when I looked up again, he had already walked over.

Some people around him were talking chaotically, some people praised the groom for being handsome, and some people said that the groom had a good dowry. I pulled a guy and asked, "Who is the bride and groom?" ”

"Oh, I don't even know that. The bride is the young master Wen Fei of the Wen family, and the bride is the eldest lady of Yue Jia. It's really a talented woman, a match made in heaven! ”

I felt that there was a needle prick in my temple, and the pain made my eyes black, and I pulled the man and didn't let go: "Relatives...... When is it set? ”

"It's been more than half a year? Isn't it? She asked the person next to her.

"Yes, when I made the decision, I remember, it was also very lively, it was February, not half a year."

More than half a year...... He got married more than half a year ago? We've only been apart for just over half a year! As soon as I left, he was married? But he never said anything about the letters.

Not a word.

The sedan chair entered the door, and the lively people on the street gradually dispersed. I looked up and saw a big red silk knot tied on the plaque of Wenfu, and a pair of happy words on the door. The blinding red letters were like open beasts, swooping down on me.

It suddenly went dark in front of him, the whole person seemed to be bitten and torn into countless pieces, his chest burned like pain, his heart seemed to be sawed open, blood flowed, and the pain spread endlessly. Hands and feet are as cold as ice cubes.

How could he bully me like that?

Those mountain alliances and sea oaths, tenderness and sweetness. Those ears and temples grinding, even whispering...... I held on to the pillar in the doorway, as if I was in a nightmare, and struggled desperately, but I couldn't wake up.

It seemed like someone had grazed behind me, and my shoulder tingled slightly.

I turned my head to see that the people were scattering in twos and threes.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the Bun Mansion.

The bride and groom worship heaven and earth in the main hall, three prostrations, and nine prostrations. I made my way through the crowd and into the narrow passageway.

It's still a sparse place. The jubilant in front of me is completely out of step with here.

The door was unlocked, and I reached out and pushed, and the door opened.

A woman's voice in the room asked, "Who is it?" ”

I replied blankly: "Aunt Yue, it's me." ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

I opened the curtain, and Aunt Yue was struggling to get out of bed, she was much haggard than the last time we were separated. The hair on the sideburns has turned gray.

"Aunt Yue, don't get up, lie down." I walked over and helped her up.

"Miss Wu Ning......"

"I just returned to the capital. Outside, I saw Wen Fei as the groom's official, so unexpected...... He married Yue Tong?"

Aunt Yue was just holding my hand, and her face was flushed, as if she could drip blood.

"I'm not here to ask you about it......" I groped in my arms; After a moment, he pulled out the bottle of medicine, "This is...... Pei Yuan Dan, take one ...... a day"

Aunt Yue didn't take the bottle, tears flowed down her face, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Wu Ning." It's Wen Fei who can't stand you. He was too ambitious, and the Yue family could help him, so he should get married. You. Don't be too upset, it's not worth it, it's not worth it......"

I don't feel bad.

Really, not sad at all.

I just felt empty in my heart, like I had lost something most precious. It can't be recovered, and it can't be replaced.

I left the two low houses, and Aunt Yue shouted behind me, and I seemed to hear what she said, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

I want to see Wen Fei.

I'm going to ask for clarification. Why is that?

Everything that followed was messy and shattered, and everywhere was a crimson color.

Wen Fei suddenly pulled out the short sword from the Xi robe, and Yue Tong smiled proudly. Those who lurk behind the screens behind the tents. He searched for the sword book I had worked so hard to find, and looked through it eagerly. The blood on his hands was on the paper, and on the sword book I had asked for him, it was stained with my blood.

How ironic.

The men of the Wen family are like jackals.

Wen Fei's father is like this, and Wen Fei is no exception.

I've heard about it. But I didn't expect this to happen to me.

The blade that shimmered with cold light stabbed again. Pierced the human body firmly.

It wasn't me who stabbed the sword.

I opened my eyes wide and watched as Aunt Yue opened her arms and slowly fell down at me. There was no pain on her face, but a relief on her face. The sick and out of shape face seemed so gentle and calm at the moment of death.

The window broke open from the outside, and a black shadow jumped into the room, raised his hand and threw out a cloud of poisonous mist, and grabbed my hand: "Go!" ”

Yao Zisheng had a strong smell of blood and poisonous miasma, blood flowed down his cheeks, he jumped out of the window with me in his arms, and Wen Fei chased after me with a sword, and the blood burst out in front of my eyes.

"No!"

I exclaimed, and opened my eyes suddenly, cold sweat dripping from my forehead to the sand.

I picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and stood up.

The sky turned a dull color, and the wind blew harder and harder.

No, not the wind.

I looked up.

Someone touched the stone.

The array was changing, and the illusion was soon shattering completely.

I walked back briskly.

After a hurricane just now, most of the market town was also destroyed, and people were running in a panic.

A man passing by me shouted, "Kill, kill!" "Running straight ahead, oblivious to the danger that is coming.

I grabbed him, and the man was like a galloping camel and avoided being trampled into flesh.

"Where is the murderer?"

The man was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his hand trembled and pointed in the direction.

It's the direction of the inn.

I let go of him and hurried in the direction of the inn.

Before they reached the door of the inn, two corpses had already fallen at the corner of the street.

Looking at the clothes, it is the people of the North Sword Pavilion.

When he looked up, half of the door of the inn was splattered with blood.

There was silence in the door.

I pushed open the door, and the courtyard was littered with corpses, all sorts of deaths. One of them only had the upper body, and it could be seen that he was struggling to climb a long distance, and the yellow sand was dyed reddish-brown, and he didn't know where the lower body was lost.

Who killed them?

I checked them one by one, and Wen Fei and Yue Tong were not among them. But Xu Guihong's corpse was impressive. She looked to have been dead for more than a day, and the body had been rapidly dehydrated and shriveled in such a dry place, and had become unrecognizable and almost unrecognizable.

The wind was getting louder and louder, and I turned my head to look back, and the road I had come from had turned into a rolling sand of sand, and the houses, the roads, and even the people I had seen when I had just come had disappeared.

It's about to collapse completely.

I followed the marks of the fight on the ground and found two more bodies on the way. The blood was still warm, slowly trickling out of the wound that had died, and was sucked dry by the yellow sand beneath him.

It must have just died.

There was a clash of blades ahead, and I tightened my grip on the hilt of my sword and leaped over the low wall.

"Miss Qi, be careful!"

The one who sounded the warning was the seventh master of the Wild Goose Tower, and he was now embarrassed, all over his body, especially the most serious one on his leg, which was deeply visible.

I glanced at him. Turn your head to look in the other direction.

Wen Fei stood there, but Yue Tong fell at his feet, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The wind is like a galloping horse. Whistling from far and near.

The seventh master pressed the leg injury, and blood kept oozing from between his fingers.

"The woman seemed to be mad, and even killed several people, and she didn't even recognize her husband."

I took a step forward, and Wen Fei was stunned for a moment. I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it after all, I just clenched the sword in my hand.

I think this scene is familiar.

As he did when we first met, he played a tune called First Encounter, and we looked at each other from a distance. At that time, they were both young and young. The dark incense outside the lotus hall floats, and the flower shadow is sparse.

Surrounded by a shattered illusion, a huge vortex was formed. Everything in view trembled and distorted, and dust and debris swirled wildly around him by the wind.

Wen Fei looked around with some trepidation, and the wind forced another step, and even the low wall behind him was easily torn apart, like tearing open a piece of tissue paper. In an instant, the low wall also turned into debris and dust particles flying in the sky.

"Pavilion Master."

He turned to look at me.

"Do you want to kill me too? Just like your wife. This array is about to break, and the illusion will disappear immediately. If you want to kill me. Now is a good opportunity. ”

His mouth moved slightly, and immediately blood spilled from the corners of his lips.

"You've tried to kill me a few times, and the last time you finally succeeded." I slowly raised my sword, the blade of which was against his chest: "Do you remember who I am?" ”

His eyes widened as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

"Maybe you've killed too many people and have forgotten. But the debt owed must be repaid after all. ”

He raised his hand as if to touch me, but halfway through, it slowly drooped again.

"You...... Are you Wu Ning? ”

Countless broken dust swept between us, and our cheeks seemed to be slashed by countless tiny sharp blades, and blood marks slowly appeared.

"You're still alive?" He struggled to swallow the hot blood that surged up his throat: "I didn't kill you, did I? ”

A large patch of blood spread and stained his chest, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"I've seen you countless times, in the study, while you're writing...... I felt as if you were right next to me, grinding for me. When I drink tea...... You're sitting across from me. When I was in my dream, you were beside me, just as I was when I first saw you, full of flowers......"

"No, I killed you, I killed you with my own hands...... But now you're standing before me again......"

His gaze was confused, apparently unaware of what was going on.

He took half a step forward, and the blade of the sword that had been against his chest slowly sank into his body.

"You...... Who is it? ”

I watched him quietly.

He betrayed everything he could, killed Wu Ning, and forced his mother to death...... What he once cherished, he destroyed with his own hands.

This man has long since become unrecognizable in time, and is no longer the flute boy I once knew.

He took another step forward,

The sword had pierced his body, revealing a sharp tip from behind him.

Blood trickled down the blade.

"No, you're not her...... She was killed by me, I won't give her to someone else......" A smile appeared on Wen Fei's face: "I killed her with my own hands, she belongs to me alone......"

The wind engulfed his body, arms, and finally his face, all torn and twisted by the wind, turning into countless fragments of chaos.

With a light in my hand, the sword shattered into powder with great speed.

The wind swooped down on me like a beast with its jaws open.

I closed my eyes.

The wind swept the dust, like scattered flying flowers in April, splashing headless and brainlessly, smashing my whole body and face.

As far as the eye can see, there are corpses all over the ground.

I stood there and looked around.

Something was on my cheek, I reached out and touched it, it was stone chips. It was a magic stone that was used as an eye of the array, and now it is all broken.

I walked out with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and there was a faint human voice in the distance.

I heard someone calling my name, and instinctively answered.

There are people all around me, but I only see Ji Yu in my eyes.

The wind was blowing from nowhere, and I flinched and leaned closer to him.

Ji Yu took off his robe and put it on me, neither of us spoke, he took my hand and slowly walked out of the dark cave.

How rare and precious it is to be together so quietly. If you don't experience loss, you may never realize how precious this moment of peace is.

The rain curtain was endless, just like the fourth day of the fourth month of April a thousand years ago.
