Chapter Seventy-Six: Greed for Life and Fear of Death
Because, no matter how good Su Qingqing's knowledge is, she is also a young lady who stays at home, how can she know the soul chasing 'jade' and know the same fate and heart-to-heart Gu? There must be a master hidden by her side in the palace, watching coldly, calmly directing all this.
This person, in terms of scheming and knowledge, except for Mo Xiangdong, there is no one else.
If I can't get the master out of the palace, he doesn't know what kind of evil method he will have.
In case Mo Xiangdong threatens me to 'hand' over the Gu Emperor with the safety of his master, how should I choose? As long as I rescue the master, I will have no fears and no regrets.
Su Qingqing was free, raised her slap high, and looked at my still scarred face, and finally had nowhere to start. Indignantly, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks from the ground, and smirked deeply into my arm!
I twitched in pain, gritted my teeth, and only snorted from my nose.
Su Qingqing was still angry, pulled it out angrily, and plunged into it like crazy.
In a row.
I was helpless, curled up in pain, my whole body tense and stiff.
Su Qingqing used too much force, the bamboo chopsticks in her hand were broken in half, and she angrily threw half of the bloodstained bamboo chopsticks into my face: "If you want to die, I will fulfill you, don't think I don't dare!" ”
I was sweating profusely, and I was already so painful that I couldn't speak, only the breath I inhaled, but not the breath that came out, and both cheeks were bitten and sore.
Qingqing was still angry, kicked me hard, and saw that I was already dying, so I brushed my sleeves and left, and ordered the 'guards' behind me without looking back: "From now on, give me strict guard here, and don't let a mosquito fly in!" Otherwise, I will only ask you dogs! ”
The 'squire' guard took the order, dragged me back to the house, threw me to the ground, and closed the door with a "bang".
Hearing the footsteps of Su Qingqing and his party go away, I took off my strong disguise, curled up on the ground, buried my face in front of my 'chest', tears flowed irrepressibly from the corners of my eyes, and I couldn't help but blame myself for the crazy stones and insects.
The skin on my arms was almost open, and warm blood was gushing out, and my body was sticky.
I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to bandage, I didn't even bother to breathe. At that moment, all I had in my head was endless pain and discouragement. I thought maybe I would faint better, so that I wouldn't be in pain and my heart wouldn't feel guilty and guilty.
Therefore, I let myself lie on the cold and hard ground like that, and let the coolness of the bluestone bricks on the ground penetrate my limbs, 'confused' and 'confused', as if I was about to lose consciousness.
The noise in the palace gradually faded away and slowly disappeared, and it should be the withdrawal of troops. I'm faintly still a little worried, the Gu Emperor is a legend in Miao Jiang, it shouldn't be so easy to be captured, right? It must have been clever and had snuck away a long time ago.
I couldn't help but murmur softly, as if to myself: "Jinzi, you must run far away, and don't be caught by them." ”
I felt a slight tingling sensation in the wound on my arm, as if something soft was gently brushing it, cool and comfortable, and the wound was no longer so hot and uncomfortable.
Later, something arched into my bosom, gently tempting.
I barely opened my eyes, and in the faint light of dawn, a pair of tentacle-like things shook in front of my eyes a few times. I almost screamed in surprise.
It's gold, it's really it! It tentatively touched my face with its front legs, then reached over its head and arched towards my chin, as if urging me to get up.
I reached out, rubbed its head tremblingly, and lowered my voice: "Jinzi, why don't you run away?" It's too dangerous here. ”
The gold shook its tentacles at me, rubbing against my face, with a intimacy that it had never felt before, as if it were comforting me in its own way. Although it may not understand me, and I don't understand what it means, at that moment, hope suddenly rose in my heart and I felt a little warmth.
I want to live, I want to live desperately, I must not just give up my life. Because my life is not my own, and there are half worms, and if I die, the master will also be unhappy.
Why should I despair? I still have gold to never give up, and I can also use gold to find the place where the worms and wild stones are imprisoned, and I will not give up easily until the dust settles in the end!
I struggled to get up from the ground, tore off the sleeves of my shirt that were already stained with blood, treated the wounds, staggered back to the 'bed', put down the tent, and changed into blood-stained clothes. Originally, I wanted to filter everything in my heart, thinking about countermeasures, who wanted to hold gold in my arms, I was too tired and fell asleep.
Near noon, it began to rain in the sky again, an autumn rain and a cold, and the wind that came in through the cracks in the windows became colder and colder.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", someone came in with a tray, and I smelled the sweet smell of red dates.
I hurriedly went to the pillow to 'grope', and pounced, the gold was gone, I don't know when it left, where could it hide?
Someone came in softly, put the tray on the table next to me, and whispered, "Miss Eleven, let's eat some and take care of yourself." ”
It's Guo Gonggong! I turned around suddenly, opened my eyes, and tore open the tent, Guo Gonggong smiled unnaturally, and there were still two whipping marks on his face and neck.
"Grandpa Guo!" I couldn't help choking: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through and dragged you down." ”
Guo Gonggong 'touched' and 'touched' the wounds on his face: "Where is Miss Eleven?" The old slave is also dedicated to serving the emperor. On the contrary, I had a negative trust, and I was seen by the demon concubine, and I was affected by the prince of Crazy Stone and Miss Miao, and now it is in the palm of their hands. ”
"What happened to them now? And how was it caught? I asked anxiously.
"The old slave heard from the little eunuch under his command that night, the demon concubine arranged for someone to pretend to be the emperor and the queen mother in advance, wearing a soul-chasing 'jade', and luring the mad stone prince to a prison with many organs. Crazy Stone Shizi was alert, and when he realized that something was wrong, the prison mechanism was activated, and it was already a step too late. However, it is said that he did not suffer much and was only temporarily detained. ”
I nodded reassuringly: "That's good." "But I was secretly thinking in my heart, with just a few small mechanisms, can I trap the crazy stone?
"It's just ......," Guo Gonggong said "wanting" and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that I heard that the Gu Emperor also fell into the hands of Concubine Jin, how can I do it now?" Guo Gonggong said anxiously.
"Impossible, the Gu Emperor won't fall into their hands." I casually relieved, "I guess it's just that they're 'making a fuss'." ”
"How so?" Guo Gonggong asked eagerly.
"Because," I glanced out the window, beckoned to Grandpa Guo, and lowered my voice: "I saw ...... yesterday."
A gust of wind blew, and the 'door' opened wide, and a fine raindrop fell in, rustling, drowning out the rest of my sentence.
"What?" Guo Gonggong stood in front of my 'bed', but deliberately kept a certain distance, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" ”
A cool breeze poured in through the wide open door, choking me twice in a row.
"What happened yesterday?" Father-in-law Guo turned his head to look at the wide open door of the house, still indifferent, and only asked eagerly.
I tried to breathe steadily: "I mean, if the Gu Emperor is so easy to catch, it is not worthy of being called the Gu Emperor, it should be safe and sound at the moment." ”
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Guo Gonggong nodded again and again: "Then I will be relieved." ”
Gonggong Guo looked down at the wound on my arm, frowned and said with a little distress: "You stupid girl, you know the times as a junjie, why are you still going against that concubine?" Is your injury serious now? ”
I shook my head: "It's okay, the bleeding has stopped, it's not a big deal." ”
Guo Gonggong took the 'medicine' on the tray, and lowered his head to untie the cloth tied to my arm to check the injury, I hurriedly raised my hand to stop it: "The master left me the Jinchuang 'medicine', and I have already applied it myself." ”
Gonggong Guo withdrew his hand in a daze, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Today is the fourth day, Miss Eleven, I am afraid that the Gu worms in your body have already swam to your face." If you can't solve the Gu tomorrow...... Alas! Your face will be ruined forever. ”
I closed my eyes slightly: "Destroy it, destroy it, it's just a pair of skins." ”
Gonggong Guo said regretfully: "At such a critical juncture, there is no news of the Gu Emperor, but how can it be good?" ”
I smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter anymore!" It would be best if it could escape. ”
"How can it not matter?" Gonggong Guo almost jumped up: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are still suffering, still waiting for the Gu Emperor to get rid of the Gu poison in their bodies, and the people of Chang'an are still waiting for the Gu Emperor, defeating the Bodhi Sect, and it will be sunny and sunny in Chang'an." How can you let it go? ”
"But what does all this have to do with me? You have forgotten how the Queen Mother tortured me to death in the first place! What does the world have to do with me?
Man does not perish for his own sake. Now that I have been ruined, as long as the Gu Emperor is not caught by them, I can survive and save a 'life'. If the Gu Emperor unfortunately falls into their hands, where will I still be alive?
So I'm not going to let it come back, it's better to fly as far as possible. ”
Guo Gonggong looked at me in disbelief, with a look of surprise: "I don't believe it, Miss, you are such a narrow-minded person, who will repay you, ignoring the family and the country, ignoring the national righteousness, greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
I smiled coldly: "Gonggong Guo thinks highly of me, I never know what national righteousness is, and I am not a person who sacrifices himself for others." I entered the palace for only one purpose, and that was to rescue my mentor. Now that she's gone safely, I have nothing to worry about. ”
Grandpa Guo stood up and pointed at my nose tremblingly: "What you said today is from the bottom of your heart?" ”
I nodded: "I'm in this situation now, is it necessary to lie?" ”
"Hmph, I'm blind!" Guo Gonggong angrily threw the food and 'medicine' on the table next to the 'bed' into the tray, picked up a gust of wind and walked out, slamming the 'door' into a "ping-pong".
I turned my face sideways and looked at Gonggong Guo's back thoughtfully.
