Chapter 6: Yan Yan (II)
The wind has subsided, but the snow is still falling slowly.
Yin Xian has changed into a light shirt, the whole body is white, there is no trace of decoration, only the cuffs and skirt are embroidered with fine Qionghua ornaments, Yin Xian's skin is porcelain white, if it is not for a black and shiny hair, walking in the snow, it is difficult to distinguish.
"Why are you so stupid, you might as well think about something else when you have this time." Duan Huanian's face was dark, but he still took off his coat and wrapped Yin Xian in his arms.
"Back then, the authorities transferred you to Licheng, but it was urgent, so you should not delay for a moment?" Yin Xian blinked her eyes, although she was a little trembling, but those eyes were soft and watery.
"What's the matter, you go change your clothes, let's go home."
"That's right," Yin Xian pushed Duan Huanian away with a smile, stretching out in the cold, "Since there is no delay, General Duan actually stayed here with Adjutant Wu Shi to participate in the wine tasting conference, presumably this Qionghua wine is really extraordinary, if you get it today, you can send a jar to the general." ”
"Nonsense, what kind of reason is this, your body is ......"
"It's not a reason," Yin Xian said with a smile, "If you want to get the world's treasure for your husband, why do you need a reason?" ”
These words blocked Duan Huanian's words, he was stunned for a moment, and carefully distinguished the words just now, whether they were sweet or astringent. And Yin Xian had already taken off her shoes and socks and walked barefoot to the high platform.
"You won't stop her? She's not the woman you love? Yan Yan squinted, as if he was laughing at Duan Huanian's incompetence. Even if she dances well, she can't compare to Qionghua back then, but Dong Shi is just emulating. ”
"Do you like Joanhua?" Duan Huanian didn't look at him.
"So what?"
"She can mess around at will, there is me behind her, if Qionghua is your beloved woman, have you protected her?"
"You!" Yan Yan struggled, but he was shackled and couldn't move.
Yin Xian slowly walked up to the high platform, and the table was covered with snow, so she couldn't see the pattern directly and obviously.
All she could feel was the coldness that spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body. The soles of her feet no longer felt pain, and their original white skin turned red. She gradually felt that her legs were out of her control, and the tingling sensation climbed up inch by inch.
Qiong Sanniang had already led the few subordinates of Qionghuazhuang, took the drums, and lined up under the high platform.
Duan Huanian and Wu Shi followed closely, although it was warm in the backyard and he could see the condition of the high platform, he still chose to stand under the high platform. If Yin Xian had any accidents, he would immediately hold her in his arms.
Sanniang took off her cloak and beat the first drum.
Qionghuazhuang was really silent for too long, and the drum sound was extremely penetrating, and the surrounding snowflakes seemed to be suspended in the air for a moment. The bird startled and dropped its fluff on the ground.
Yin Xian naturally didn't know what Qionghua danced back then, so she had to improvise and dance. She was praised by the master when she was young, a drum beat can change four sets of steps in a row and do not drag mud and water, although the time is a little long, but it has not been neglected to practice, even if the weather is cold, it is difficult to think, but the body has already remembered the pace, the moment the mallet falls off the drum, the right foot on the platform to draw a semicircle, and then the left foot volley, the whole person stretches out, both hands shake, the silk on the clothes are scattered, this is the goddess scattered flowers.
The drum sound trembled, there was still an echo, she swung her waist, pinched the orchid finger with her right hand and crossed the side of her cheek, and her left hand did a light and slow twist to wipe the shape of the re-pick, but it was really like a pipa into her arms, with the wind as the string and the snow as the clothes.
Qiong Sanniang sneered, "It's not bad, but beauty is beautiful, it's not enough!" ”
After speaking, he ordered the servant to beat the drums of various sizes beside him. For a time, Qionghuazhuang was surrounded by the sound of drums, which was difficult to distinguish and difficult to grasp the rhythm.
Yin Xian was not in a hurry, she was quiet in the chaos, keenly aware of the gap between the staggered drums, and made a lotus shape on her chest with her hands and held it above her head. The feet did not rest, followed by a wave of drums, changing the pace frequently, to the point that people were dazzled.
Qiong Sanniang still has that indifferent look, "Flower fists and embroidered legs are just things to bluff children." So he snatched the mallet and began to beat it himself.
As the saying goes, the sound of drums can reflect the state of mind of the drummer, so there have been cases of drumming hurting people. Qiong Sanniang's drum sound at the moment was not like Fang Cai's, but it was a little too hurried and chaotic.
Yin Xian also noticed that her steps began to be a little messy, and suddenly, she felt a pain in the soles of her feet, and looked down to see that the skin on her feet was stuck on the platform at some point, so she used some force to tear the skin off her feet. Now that her feet were dripping with blood, coupled with the biting frost and snow, she only felt that her legs and feet were weak, and she almost fell straight off the stage.
"Xian'er!" Duan Huanian was about to rush forward, but Yin Xian hurriedly stopped, pale but extremely resolute.
"It's fine."
Yin Xian stood up and danced again. The red mixed with snowflakes dyed the hem of the skirt crimson, and a touch of red between the vast world and the world was extremely charming, which made people unable to take their eyes off for a while, so they had to marvel.
I don't know how long the drum sounded, and Yin Xian didn't know how long she danced, she only knew that she was really powerless to move, and every inch of skin on her body couldn't feel the piercing, so her eyes were dark and she fell down.
Duan Huanian naturally rushed in front of everyone and hugged her in his arms. ripped off his clean clothes, bandaged Yin Xian's injured feet, wrapped all his clothes around her, and breathed hot in Yin Xian's hands.
"It's going to be fine, it's going to be okay."
Qiong Sanniang stood in front of the high platform and threw the mallet in the snow. The mother-in-law shook Sanniang's cloak, unfolded it, and put it on for her.
"Mother-in-law, I didn't believe that Ah Hua was gone," Sanniang's face was sad that she had never seen before, "Now that I see that girl jumping, I understand that Ah Hua really can't come back." ”
The snow fell on Sanniang's eyelashes, and a tear slipped down her cheek.
Wu Shi saw that Duan Huanian broke into a room in the backyard like crazy, and only then did he want to go in to help, but he was blocked from the door.
"How's that girl?" Yan Yan asked.
Wu Shi glanced at him and replied angrily, "Aren't you seeing it here, ask me what to do?" ”
Yan Yan's eyelashes trembled, "Hengzhi said that he can protect his sweetheart, I just want to see if he has been slapped in the face." ”
"Don't bother!" After speaking, he hurriedly went to his mother-in-law to ask for medicinal materials.
The blood on Yin Xian's feet stopped, but fortunately, the weather was relatively cold and it was not easy to be infected with pus.
At this time, the sky was over, and Yin Xian was in a coma and weak, so it was unrealistic to rush back to Licheng overnight, so he had to rest in Qionghuazhuang for one night to see if he could stabilize the situation.
"It's cold." Duan Huanian touched Yin Xian's hand, and the ice was like a piece of jade with cold light. "Can't you warm up with so many clothes?"
The house was already covered with charcoal fires, and it was unusually warm, and it shouldn't have been.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Duan Huanian's forehead, and he simply took off all his clothes and put Yin Xian on his body. As the ancient saying goes, if a person is cold, he can be relieved in time if he warms up the body temperature of others. Now I can't seek medical treatment here, so I can only take a risk, if Yin Xian really has three longs and two shortcomings...... Duan Huanian's eyes showed a fierce light.
He will definitely let the whole village accompany her to the funeral.
"Cold ......" Yin Xian was unconscious, repeating the word in her mouth in a daze.
Cold? Duan Huanian hugged him tighter, and all the bedding and thick clothes were piled on Yin Xian's body, and he never let go of an inch of skin.
"Will ...... Father! Father! You open the door! I asked my mother-in-law to boil hot ginger soup! Father! Open the door! Outside the door was Wu Shi's call, Duan Huanian frowned and looked at Yin Xian in his arms.
"Put it at the door, I'll take it myself."
