Chapter 177: Meeting the Queen Mother

The wind was blowing in my ears, the red walls on both sides kept retreating, I heard the sound of the wind and the sound of horses, and the sound of breathing close to my ears, and I felt the person behind me, the sound of his heartbeat, the temperature coming from his chest.

It's an indescribable feeling, I love it, the thrill of running in the wind, regardless of the behind you, regardless of the surrounding environment, just like this kind of running.

The horse ran very fast, along the way, only felt that it took a few turns to reach the periphery of the palace of the Queen Mother, and there were already people waiting there at the door.

The rope of the rope, and the man who brought the wooden box for dismounting, also stood there waiting.

Yu Xin dismounted first, and when he stood firm, he did not let the servant come to help me, but came back by himself, stretched out his hand and hugged me from above.

"The Queen Mother is waiting inside, the county lord, the prince, please come inside-"

The eunuch was in front of me, I glanced back at Yu Xin, smiled, under the mask, our expressions couldn't be seen clearly, but I knew that he also liked this feeling, free and unrestrained.

We seem to have been trapped in shackles for a long time, just a gust of wind, which can make you happy, thinking that you have found the freedom you have lost for a long time.

"What about Mama Yang?"

As soon as I turned my head and looked at the empty ground behind me, I remembered that I rode away with Yuxin, so what should I do with Mama Yang?

It was, I remember, empty, and there wasn't a single carriage.

"Don't worry, the county lord is already on their way, just go in here!"

The eunuch explained, and asked me to go inside, and Yuxin also pulled me to the palace gate.

I didn't have time to refuse, so they pulled me in.

The palace of the Queen Mother is a somewhat old but majestic place, and the wooden beams and ground have become brown after years of washing and dyeing.

Yuxin lives here, where should I go, he is familiar with the road, and pulled me all the way forward to the front of the Queen Mother.

After saluting and getting permission, he dared to raise his head and look at the old man sitting on the soft pedal.

She is naturally gray-haired, wrinkled, and the makeup on her face is very light, but the embellishment is just right, the red lips that just show her complexion, and the pair of eyes that have seen through too much of the world.

When I knelt on the ground, she didn't make it too difficult, but affectionately asked me to get up, pulled me to the front, looked at me carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction, put my hand together with Yuxin's hand, and said a lot of instructions.

I listened, occasionally echoed a few sentences, nodded, and kept talking about the work of two teas, and then stopped.

The Queen Mother said that in the end, it is the affection between young people, and young people should get along with each other by themselves, and she, an old woman, will not be involved.

Yuxin took me out of the door, saying that she was going to take a look at where he lived.

I followed behind him, and I didn't think much about it, and the servants behind us, because of the Queen Mother's instructions, retreated, leaving me and him to wander around inside and outside this big palace.

The yard where the Queen Mother lives is very large, and there is a small back garden at the back, Yuxin pulled me, first talking about some things when I was a child, in the palace in front, pointing me everywhere, where she played when she was a child.

I listened to it on the side, silently watching him, occasionally smiling with him, I don't like to listen to these old stories, but I thought that I would be under the same roof with him in the future, I still listened to it.

The more he talked, the better I got to know him, and the smoother I got along with him in the future.

As for me, I don't want to mention my past to anyone anymore, the tribe I used to grow up and live in, it is a pain in my heart, it has been too long, the wound cannot heal, I can only hide it carefully, I dare not touch it for a moment.

Maybe, one day, it will heal inadvertently, and maybe, it will follow me to the end of my life together.

Yuxin today, talking a lot, people are also very happy, he is in front of me, keep walking, talking, laughing, I follow behind him, watching, listening, cooperating.

I don't know what's going on, so he took me to the back garden.

By the time I realized that I had reached the depths of the garden, there was no one here, surrounded by tall forest and shrubs, and the grass on both sides of the road was half a man high.

When the grass touched the skin, it was a little itchy and numb, but it just caught my attention at once.

I know this grass, and the elders have taught me to recognize it, and they have said that it is a paralyzing grass, which some demons use to catch their prey, and they will lure or drive the target of the hunt into the grass.

This grass, at first glance, does not seem to have anything special, but there is one thing, once it touches the flesh, it will make the prey itch all over the body, gradually stiffen, and paralyze the body uncontrollably on the ground, so that they can strangle them without much effort.

The deeper you go, the more you come into contact, the toxins in the grass penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, and there will be body stiffness and loss of consciousness.

However, human consciousness will not be lost, and some demons, when they set their prey as humans, will also plant such a piece of grass to lure or drive humans here, and then torture and devour them.

Because, this grass has to be irrigated with blood, so they will be obedient, and this blood, which demon irrigates it, it will only be ineffective for him.

This is the paralyzing grass, why is it cherished by the demon, such a complementary, only recognize yourself as a demon, it is too convenient to realize your ambitions, why not?

Paralysis grass is something that many demons are willing to plant, some tribes use it as a defense, and some are simply traps.

This thing, as long as you don't fall into it and don't let it paralyze you, you can get out.

Of course, if you are strong enough, you can kill its original owner in this grass that has recognized its master, and it will recognize its master to you.

It's just that the second method is a bit difficult.

"What are you thinking?"

Yuxin's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I looked at him not far away, only to realize that because of the touch just now, I had stood in place and did not follow him any further.

The grass in front of me was even more lush, and the whole path was no longer visible, and Yuxin stood in the grass, and when he looked back at me, there was nothing at all.

This left me a little confused and surprised.

It's impossible, he's in the same grass as me, my hand, just a touch, it's already itching, he's in a bush, how can he not feel a trace?

"What's wrong, what are you thinking?"

He asked again.

"Nothing—"

I looked at him, shook my head, and the whole person instantly became cautious, but I still looked at him calmly on my face and smiled slightly.

"Then why don't you leave?"

He stretched out his hand and handed it to me, and that hand, smooth and delicate, had just come through the grass.
