Chapter 50: Finding the Shark Pearl
After a few days of anxious waiting, Ye Linghan finally returned.
That night, still in a cigarette jacket, he suddenly appeared in front of my window, and when I finally saw him again, I rushed him into the house in a panic.
Before I could sit down, he reached out and handed me a brocade box, I poured him a cup of tea, holding the teacup in my right hand and taking the box with my left hand, and when I saw the contents of the box, the teacup fell heavily on the ground and shattered.
"Shark Pearl?" My voice trembled, and I looked at the box as big as an egg, glowing with a turquoise glow, which was originally the eye of a merman. In the candlelight, the green beads looked ghostly and bewitching, and the soft texture was as smooth as silk. I couldn't help but look at the beads, and carefully picked them up with my right hand, and the touch of the elasticity immediately spread from my fingers all over my body, and this stunner couldn't help but make me admire: "Oh my God, where did you get this bead?" You said that there was something to ask for this bead? ”
Ye Linghan bit his lip and said very easily: "The most difficult shark bead you said has been obtained, you see, it's not as difficult as you said, so, please have confidence, okay?" ”
I was holding the box in my hand, and my hands were trembling: "You went to Longtan?" Isn't it? ”
Ye Linghan did not answer.
"You speak! Did you go to Longtan? Oh my God, you actually went to Longtan alone...... Are you dying? "Anxiety and worry, forbearance and distress are all gathered at this moment, I don't know where such a big anger came from, I roared at Ye Linghan, like an angry antelope.
This Longtan is a poisonous pond left in ancient times, it is a canyon formed in the middle of two Longtan mountains, because the water in the pond is rich in high-strength minerals, the grass and trees do not grow everywhere, but because the water in this pond is highly poisonous, over time, it has raised some of the most poisonous things in the world, such as a poisonous toad as big as a horse, a spider as big as a man, and a tree that eats people, a flower that can walk with legs, and a rabbit that can speak human words...... Of course, because of the influence of the most poisonous gas, there are all kinds of treasures growing in the pool, and the most poisonous dragon orchid is a good medicine for resurrection; Dragon's heart, eating it can be poisonous and delay aging...... But that's just a legend, and the people who really tried the swamp of death died in it and didn't come out.
The creatures that grow in that place are hideous and terrifying, and in a popular word, that is, demons. That's the demon world. For thousands of years, only the Hanhe people lived around Longtan, their whereabouts were hidden, they were good at using poison, guarding Longtan for generations, and worshipping Longtan as their holy land. However, even the Hanhe people have never penetrated deep into the hinterland of Longtan, and only move around Longtan.
There is another legend about this Dragon Pond. Legend has it that back then, the cruel and rude human beings exterminated the sharks, and the only remaining sharks swam into this Longtan with the deep sea, and the people who rushed into Longtan Mountain with the sharks all died in the poisonous gas of Longtan, and the sharks were nowhere to be found, and never came out of Longtan Mountain again. Some people say that they are dead, and those who enter the Dragon Pond will die, whether you are a human or a merman.
Perhaps Longtan is the last place related to the legend of the shark people, and the dead shark people may leave the most precious thing in this land: shark beads. However, Ye Linghan actually followed this legend, and actually ran to such a dangerous place as Longtan alone!
No wonder he would have put his general order in my hands when he left, he was not completely sure that he would come back alive, and if he died there, it would be enough to save my life......
All the shock, sadness and grievances suddenly hit, I slammed the box out, tears burst out of my eyes: "Why? Why are you doing this? Do you know what you're doing? And who am I to you? Why are you doing this to me? ”
Looking at my hysteria, Ye Linghan's brows furrowed slightly, and he raised his hand, as if he wanted to wipe away his tears for me, but after all, he put it down again, and just shouted distressedly: "...... Sheng"
"You still call me Sheng!" I glared at him angrily, "Don't tell me you don't know who I am, why, why do you act like you never knew me?" Why can you call me Shengsheng so calmly? ”
Ye Linghan's brows furrowed even tighter, his eyes were full of helplessness and sourness, I just forced him to look at him fiercely, refusing to give in, and finally after a long time, he shouted softly: "Tsing Yi ......"
Tears came out of my eyes, yes, you know who I am, I am Tsing Yi, the murderer of the fourth prince, but why, why are you still so good to me? Why risk your life to get the shark pearl back for me? You shouldn't hate me, right? Even if you really like me, then I am also the murderer of the prince, you shouldn't stay away from me and maintain a moderate coldness and ruthlessness, right? But why? Why is everything you doing not in my expectation? I've been maddened by your gentleness.
Yes, I originally had this life, I was a shallow fellowship with you, and slowly got along with each other happily, but you went to Longtan for my injury, which made me feel guilty, made me blame myself, made me indebted, made me have no reason, let me not be able to bear such a heavy gift from you with peace of mind, so that I can no longer be like a turtle with a shrunken head, and only care about the pleasure in front of me.
I can't accept that you are completely sacrificing and giving yourself for me.
If you've done both, what else do I need to hold onto? What else can I not let go? Why is life suffering, and death is also sad? Why do I have to wear the mask of the Shengsheng again......
"Tsing Yi ......" he gently called my name again, and gently raised his hand to help me wipe the tears from my face.
I threw myself into his arms and cried, "Do you really not care why I killed the fourth prince...... You really don't want to hear me explain it at all...... Do you really think I'm a cold-blooded assassin...... Do you really think that I rejected you because of glory and wealth......" I cried on his shoulder, as if I had finally cried out all my grievances and resentments, and all my grief and anger had found an outlet for catharsis, I just wanted to lean on him all the time, just keep leaning on him, just keep leaning on it, it's enough.
Ye Linghan's eyes were also red, and in the face of my series of questions, he did not rush to find the answer, but gently patted my head and said to me softly: "Tsing Yi, it's all right, everything has passed......"
Ye Linghan took off a white jade pendant from his neck, which was a small whistle in the shape of a swallow carved from white jade, and he put the whistle in my hand: "Now, the thing is returned to its original owner, I have finally found the owner of the whistle......"
My tears burst again, the suffering I have suffered for so many years, the hatred I have carried, and the grievances I have endured...... And I can still see the playthings of the past again, things are not people, and tears flow first. "You...... Do you still have it? ”
"Then do you think I never knew you were Qingyi? I will never forget your eyes for the rest of my life, no matter how many years have passed since you become, as long as it is you, I can recognize it......" He said softly, this is the most beautiful love word I have heard in the past 18 years.
"That'...... Why didn't you recognize me in the first place? I cried.
"It's you, I don't know what you've been through for so many years, do you know how I felt when I saw you again in Yuchun Tower? I know that's you, that's Qingyi, I let you play Chunjiang, but you don't recognize me. But you were summoned to the palace, when I told you clearly that I was Ye Linghan, you didn't touch me at all, as if you didn't know me at all, I began to wonder if I recognized the wrong person, but I still wanted to take you away, when I mustered up all the courage to confess to you, but you ruthlessly despised me......" Ye Linghan gently told me about the past, those who had been entangled and sad for so long, he looked at me puzzled: "Qingyi, when I told you that I was Ye Linghan, Why don't you recognize me, or ...... You really don't remember me? ”
I was already crying: "At that time...... At that time, when I knew that you were Ye Linghan, that was the closest I could get to slashing the enemy, I couldn't give up, I didn't want to fall short, you know...... But when I want to recognize you, I have already become the murderer of your master, you already have an enmity against the sky, and I am disfigured, so ugly, what qualifications do I have to recognize you......"
I did think so at the time, I wasn't sure that Ye Linghan would still remember the little girl named Qingyi, I don't know if he would still be determined to protect her after all these years. And I've changed, no matter how I justify it, it's a fact that I became a geisha in Yuchunlou, and I'm no longer the spotless princess I was back then. If he doesn't remember me anymore, then why should I recognize him, and if he still remembers me, then how to face him when I'm so unbearable now, I don't know.
However, everything has been revealed in this unexpected way.
"You know what...... You know what...... The fourth prince ......"
Before I could finish speaking, Ye Linghan sealed my lips with a light kiss, and a burst of electricity flowed through my body, and I froze in an instant, snuggling up in his arms, at his mercy.
After a long time, he put his hands on my head and pressed it against his forehead and said softly, "I know, I know everything...... You'll never be alone again...... Listen to me, and I'll protect you......"
Finally, he and I were convinced of each other's love. I wanted to cry again, this time because I was moved by joy. Ye Linghan said the last few words quite hard, I grabbed his hand to stop me and inadvertently touched my pulse, oh my God! He's hurt! The essence of his whole body has been completely dispersed, and I really don't know what kind of power can make him last until now!
