Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hidden Tunnels
There was an agarwood burner on the table, and a light smoke was lit, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a hair falling on the ground.
Xiao Yuyin looked at Nalan Heng above him, and only felt that his heart was beating fast, as if it was not his own. Listening to Nalan Heng say that sentence in his ear, he only felt that his face was hotter, and then he shook his head gently.
Nalan Heng's amber peach blossom eyes couldn't help but darken, and he supported the bed with one hand, and gently stroked Xiao Yuyin's hair with his left hand, Xiao Yuyin closed his eyes, not daring to look at his eyes.
Nalan Heng's slender fingers swirled between her hair, and her green silk was like ink, scattered like silk on the bed. Nalan Heng leaned down to overwhelm her, her hair fell apart, and the scattered hair fell on the futon, reflecting the colorful splendors on it, and intertwined with her hair, which easily reminded people of what people often call "knotted hair".
Nalan Heng's peach blossom eyes reflected her face, Xiao Yuyin closed her eyes, her long eyelashes were inciting, leaving a silhouette under her eyes, her white face was slightly red, her breathing was a little messy, and her red lips were like cherries, with an attractive color, which made people want to kiss Fangze when they saw it.
Nalan Heng took a deep breath, felt the change in himself, and then looked away, obviously he just wanted to tease her, he always knew that she had a great influence on him, but he never thought it would be so great.
Nalan Heng forced himself to open his eyes, and when he continued to look, he really couldn't pick up the hand that was pulling out her hair, although he was extremely reluctant, but he didn't linger any more, he decisively withdrew his hand, stretched out to the bed, groped for something, and then pressed it tightly.
"Click", Xiao Yuyin heard this sound, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that it was still Nalan Heng's pair of slightly raised extremely good-looking eyebrows, and crashed into the gentle peach blossom eyes, the peach blossom pool is thousands of feet deep, and how much affection makes people unconsciously immersed in it.
Nalan Heng's low voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of chagrin, "I really should have married you earlier, whether you agree or not, marry first." ”
Xiao Yuyin was slightly stunned, looking at his abnormally red face that even women envied, with some forbearance. Then his eyes caught a glimpse of the direction of the sound just now, and his eyes widened.
The wall against which the carved bed had been leaning had disappeared, and there was a staircase that stretched downward, with no end in sight and no idea where it was going. It's not very dark inside, there is a faint light coming out, it is the light of the night pearl.
Xiao Yuyin violently pushed Nalan Heng away from him, and then he heard a "bang" sound, Nalan Heng was defenseless for a while, and hit the railing at the end of the bed.
Xiao Yuyin's face was a little red, she was ashamed, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, the earth was too dangerous, let her go back to Mars! Shame is all lost to the Pacific Ocean. She didn't even look at Nalan Heng, she really didn't know how to face him, even if she was a little worried about him.
Nalan Heng rubbed his injured arm, looked at her and smiled, "What were you thinking about just now?" ”
"Are you ......" Xiao Yuyin glanced at Nalan Heng angrily, her face was slightly red, and then she turned around and stopped looking at him.
"Alright, let's go!" Nalan Heng didn't tease her anymore, he went over to hold her hand, ignoring her breaking, "I said that the place I took you to is special." ”
Xiao Yuyin pouted unconsciously, and when she saw that she couldn't break free, she didn't break free anymore, but she didn't look at him, and her eyes fell on the dark room.
Nalan Heng is here to make a dark room, although Xiao Yuyin can't think of what it is for, but he also knows that it is also a little mysterious. What made Xiao Yuyin a little curious was what secrets were hidden in Nalan Heng's secret passage.
Although he still doesn't know what the secret Nalan Heng is hiding for the time being, he is still very happy, because this is the first time that Nalan Heng is ready to let her into his world, and it is the first time to share it in the true sense.
However, she was leaving, and she couldn't stand side by side with him, face the future catastrophe together, watch the flowers bloom side by side, the clouds roll up, and see the vastness of the world side by side.
Xiao Yuyin raised her head from her contemplation and looked at the stairs in front of her, winding all the way down, with no end in sight, only the faint light from the night pearls hanging on the walls on both sides, illuminating the road in front of her, but it was also extremely clear.
"Follow me later." Nalan Heng's deep voice sounded in her ears, the door of the dark grid had been closed, and Xiao Yuyin could hear the seriousness in his tone.
"Good!" Xiao Yuyin nodded and replied softly, since Nalan Heng said that, then it can only explain one problem, even there are organs outside the Zifeng Courtyard, let alone here, it is obviously such an important place.
Nalan Heng didn't speak, just looked at her face, under the faint light, her face was not particularly clear, and the dark jade eyes were wrinkled and shining in the dim light.
He knew her voice, he had always been smart, he knew, she understood.
"Let's go!" Nalan Heng took her hand and walked down the stairs step by step, only to hear footsteps echoing in the dark passage, and the sound of the two of them breathing shallowly.
Xiao Yuyin followed Nalan Heng closely, for fear of getting lost, in such an important place, if he made a wrong step, then his life would be in danger. Xiao Yuyin could imagine how important the place Nalan Heng brought her here at this time was.
I don't know how long they walked, they saw three forks in front, Nalan Heng stopped and walked directly into the first fork with Xiao Yuyin.
"What's in the other two forks?" Xiao Yuyin asked softly, because it was a dark room, there was a slight echo, buzzing.
"Dark arrows, poisons, etc., everything that can be used has been used." Nalan Heng said in a low voice, opened his mouth to explain, just briefly explained a few words, and did not speak again.
"What about this secret passage?" Xiao Yuyin's voice trembled a little, but he sighed softly in his heart, I'm afraid it's even worse here, right?
"One wrong step will kill you, you say?" Nalan Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course, only the most terrible, nothing more terrible." Xiao Yuyin pursed her lips, and said that she didn't care.
Nalan Heng didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. After a long time, she found that Xiao Yuyin didn't speak, she seemed to be even more silent, her brows were slightly furrowed, she would like to frown more these days, is there anything annoying?
"Don't you have what you want to ask?" Nalan Heng spoke in a low voice, watching her movements.
Xiao Yuyin raised her eyes and looked directly at him, then smiled lightly and said, "Of course there is!" I'm curious about how long it took to build this tunnel? ”
"Two years." Nalan Heng suddenly stopped, his figure blocked in front of her, and he held her with one hand, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”
Xiao Yuyin's whole face hit his arms, Nalan Heng was very strong because of his martial arts studies, although he looked quite thin, but he was very strong. It hurt a little in her forehead and nose, especially her nose.
"Why did you stop all of a sudden, aren't you so easy to bump into? Are you iron or steel, and it hurts so much. Xiao Yuyin rubbed her nose and said to Nalan Heng with some displeasure, with a hint of complaint.
Nalan Heng stretched out his hand, and checked her nose with the faint light emitted by the night pearl, looked at the reddish bridge of her nose, and gently rubbed it, some of her bony hands were due to holding the sword, with a thin callus, touching her nose, a little numb to the touch.
Nalan Heng felt the temperature of his fingertips, and his voice was full of concern, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xiao Yuyin said softly, then raised her head suddenly, looked at Nalan Heng, and asked the question she asked just now, "Nalan Heng, why did you suddenly stop just now?" ”
Nalan Heng withdrew his hand, and his tone was very accustomed to swallowing slowly, "I just asked you if there is anything else you want to ask?" ”
Xiao Yuyin thought about it carefully, and then shook her head, she knew that Nalan Heng wanted to say something, she didn't ask, he would tell herself. What's more, she really didn't want to ask.
"Since you don't have anything you want to ask, forget it." Nalan Heng's low voice was unusually clear in the dark tunnel.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuyin suddenly raised his eyes, and met Nalan Heng's eyes unawares, the waves were rolling in those amber peach blossom eyes, a deep one, and with a faint shimmer, he could see the smile raised at the corner of Nalan Heng's mouth.
Nalan Heng stretched out his hand to straighten her head, his slender fingers curled up her green silk to play, and then said in a low voice, "Since you don't have anything to ask, then I'll ask you?" ”
Xiao Yuyin was slightly stunned, and then heard her voice say to Nalan Heng, "What do you want to ask?"
Nalan Heng frowned at the very good-looking eyebrows, her hair wrapped around her fingers, playing with it like a toy, and he didn't speak for a while, his voice was a little low, but he was low and seductive, "Tell me, what have you been hiding from me recently?" ”
Xiao Yuyin was stunned by the question, and just wanted to open his mouth to find a reason to prevaricate in the past, when he heard Nalan Heng's next sentence.
"Don't lie to me, you've been obviously wrong in the past two days, and you've been in a daze from time to time, is it because of my illness, do you know?" Nalan Heng said softly, pressing his hands on her shoulders, forcing her to look at him, "You always knew that, right?" ”
Xiao Yuyin was silent for a long time and nodded, "I know." Then he said to Nalan: "Your illness is fine, don't you see that it has improved recently?" You don't have to worry, it's really fine. ”
His illness is not a disease at all, it is a curse, and he can be fine, but she also knows that as long as he doesn't love it, he can be fine.
"Then why are you avoiding me?" Nalan Heng said in a low voice, "I'm not stupid, you obviously avoided me a few days ago, why?" ”
Why avoid him, why? The corners of Xiao Yuyin's mouth were a little bitter, if she didn't avoid him, she would vomit blood whenever she was emotional, so what should she do? In the past few days, Cui Siyu and Ye Yun have studied for a long time before they have developed a medicine that can suppress pain. It can only suppress the pain, but it cannot cure it, because he is not a disease in itself, but a curse.
She was really stopped at this time, she remembered that her mother had told her before, when you can't find a reason, then just tell the truth.
