Chapter Ninety-Two: The Past
When I came back, I saw Yingning staring at the book on the table in a daze. Even when he came in and sat down next to her, she didn't react in the slightest.
I twisted my fingers and conjured a red thread. took Yingning's hand and tied her to her slender wrist.
Ying Ning woke up like a dream, raised her eyes to look at the red rope, and asked in a daze, "When did you come back?" What is this? ”
Wu Qi held her fingers and said with a light smile: "I went out to do errands today, passing by the Yuelao Temple in the mortal world. I saw that many people were asking for marriage, and I went and begged. Although the marriage between you and me has been decided, the form that should be there is also indispensable. What others have, my Ning'er will also have it. Mine has been brought, and we will never be separated from each other. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, and there was a red thread on her strong arms and wrists that was exactly the same as the one on her wrist.
Ying Ning smiled, she had seen a lot of this red line. Once upon a time, she was playful and broke into the palace of the Heavenly Moon Elder. The red lines in his palace are simply countless, and the clusters are extremely bright red. At that time, the jade rabbit of Fairy Chang'e also strayed into the palace of the old moon with her. She didn't have much interest in those red balls, but it was Yue Lao's marriage book, which was quite interesting. This month, Lao Er is in charge of the marriage of the world, maintaining the marriage of thousands of miles, carrying a cane and a scarf, and running around in the smoke and clouds. It's really hard for him.
Jade Rabbit liked those balls of thread more than her, lying in them and frolicking, and finally accidentally urinated in them. In the end, they were discovered by the old moon and almost sued them to the Emperor of Heaven. If it weren't for the intercession between Xuannu and Fairy Chang'e, they would have been punished by the Emperor of Heaven long ago.
The red thread, which she had never been interested in, was now carried in her own hands. She smiled silently, stroked the broken hair on her forehead, and asked her in a low voice, "What have you done today?" Ever got bored? I'll take you to the mortal world tomorrow. ”
If it were the usual, Ying Ning would be very happy. It's just that she couldn't figure out something today, so she said, "That's naturally good, but I have something I want to ask you." ”
I smiled gently at her: "If you have anything, just ask, do you still want to be polite with me?" ”
Ying Ning pondered for a moment and asked with a sad brow, "If I marry you, won't I be able to return to the Heavenly Realm in the future?" ”
I held her hand for a moment, and the expression on my face changed and changed. His eyes were also a little dark, and it took him a long time before he slowly spoke: "You really want to go back to the heavenly realm?" ”
Ying Ning thought about it again, after all, she grew up in the Heavenly Realm, and naturally she had deep feelings for the Heavenly Realm. If she says she doesn't want to go back, that's hypocritical. So she nodded solemnly and said yes.
Wu Qi suddenly let go of her hand, pursed the corners of her lips, and said faintly: "After you marry me, you will be where I am." Whether it is in the mortal world, the heavenly realm, or the underworld, this is an eternal rule. ”
Ying Ning sighed, she originally thought that Yejun was probably scaring her, but it turned out that there was such a thing. She was a little lost, but she didn't know what to do. When you return to the heavenly realm, you will leave my period. If you are with me, you can only stay in the underworld. There will always be such a situation in this world, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and the best of both worlds has always been something that can be met but not sought.
Wu Qi's eyes lost some of their brilliance, his fingers under his robe clenched, and it took a long time to find his voice, and asked in a deep voice: "Ning'er, do you regret it?" ”
Yingning is still in a state of confusion, do you regret it? Not really. With me, she is happy, and she is happy like never before. If she really had to choose one of the two, she would still prefer to choose my period.
Thinking of this, Ying Ning looked at Wu Qi's eyes, and there was a deep lake in his eyes, deep and transparent. She raised a smile and said, "I don't regret it, I am willing to follow you, where you are, I will be there." ”
Suddenly, I took her into my arms, my broad palms caressing her head, and a pleasant laugh erupted from my chest. "Ning'er, thank you for choosing me. I love you, Ning'er, I love you. ”
Ying Ning shrunk in his arms, muttering the word love in his mouth, probably wanting to stay together for the rest of his life, just call it love. She doesn't seem to understand it very well, but her life is very long, and she can slowly understand it in the future.
Yingning was not the only one who was confused, and the name Qi Wuxian seemed to have taken root in her heart. She raised her head and asked, "Do you know that the former Hades King Qi Wuxian?" ”
Wu Qi frowned and asked her, "Why are you asking this suddenly?" ”
Ying Ning withdrew from his arms, picked up the book on the table, and said softly: "I read this book of "Characters of the Three Realms" today, and the Qi Wuxian in it makes me very interested. Looking at his portrait, I always feel very kind, as if I have seen it. It's just that there is not much ink in this book, I want to know more thoroughly, do you know his life? ”
I took the book from her hand, which I brought from Beyga, and it should have been left by his father. He seemed to have read it before, but it was probably a long time ago, and he didn't remember it anymore.
I turned to the page of Qi Wuxian, a page of portraits, a page of just a few lines, a few numbers, and the introduction of Qi Wuxian's life. The book should have some thoughts, and the paper has been slightly yellowed. The portrait depicts the former Hades King wearing a black battle suit, very heroic and powerful. The face is somewhat familiar, and I also have a sense of déjà vu. His eyes, in particular, were clear and translucent, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them.
He has vague memories of his father's love to travel around and sometimes take him with him when he was a child. He had been to the underworld with his father, but he was still young at the time, and the picture of the long ago was somewhat fragmented. A tall and majestic man, holding a baby in his arms, stood among the fiery red flowers on the other side, standing against the wind. The wind lifted a corner of the man's robe, making a fluttering sound. The baby in his arms giggled, his big, bright eyes eclipsing the stars of heaven and earth.
His father told him that he was the King of the Underworld. So he had seen Qi Wuxian, no wonder he was so familiar. He had only seen it, and he didn't know much about Qi Wuxian.
"What I know is no different from what is in this book, but I have met him once, and he seems to have a child." I hope to say so.
"Kid? How can there be children? The book says he has no children. Ying Ning opened the book again, looked at it a few times, and it did say that because there were no children, it was the turn of the god to sit in the position of the king of the underworld.
I smiled, "Maybe the child died, or maybe it wasn't his child." It's been too long since I'm not impressed, maybe I'm mistaken. ”
Ying Ning fell into deep thought again, and the answer seemed to have reached her lips. But there are some things that can't be unraveled, and I hope to see that she is constantly worried, so I said gently: "It's just some old things, why are you so entangled." ”
Ying Ning immediately smiled: "I'm just curious, and there's nothing to worry about." You came back early today, but you had dinner? ”
"Not yet, I was bent on having dinner with you, so I came back early." I shouted out to the door, and in a few moments a boy came in, and he told him to go and pass supper. Ying Ning looked at him with her cheeks and said with a smile: "You have been a little lazy recently, you go out late and return early, have you done everything that the Hades King told you?" The Immortal is probably going to blame you again, and he seems to have become a little cold towards you since we made the engagement. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and Yingning actually saw it. He and Shen Tu are also teachers and friends, and their relationship has always been close and harmonious, but now they are almost strangers. Usually, except for Shen Tu to explain some of his trivial matters, they are almost no longer like in the past, drinking tea, playing chess and chatting.
Each has its own trade-offs, and Ying Ning would rather give up returning to the heavenly realm for him. Naturally, he also had to give up some things, not to mention that Shen Tu didn't know if he had any thoughts about Yingning, and it would not be wrong to keep some proper distance.
Yingning had a very bizarre dream in which she turned into a baby. The small one, held in the arms of a dignified man. The man's face was not clear, just a very vague outline. It was a fiery red flower, and the wind whistled through the hair, through the ears. She laughed, and the man held out a finger and teased her, and she laughed even more.
When the man saw her smiling, he also smiled: "Farewell to everyone heroically, I would rather return to the Hades family." Is it better to call you Ying Ying for the father? She blinked her big bony eyes and giggled, as if pleased with her name.
In the blink of an eye, she grew up a little more, wearing a white babydoll shirt. With a rattle in his hand, he shook and shook it, and ran to the Lethe River. There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she rolled her eyes and hid in the flowers on the other side.
"Ning'er, where are you? If you don't come out again, Daddy will eat the sweet and sour rock sugar gourd that he brought from the mortal world. The man had already seen the white, and he cried out quietly.
In just a moment, Ying Ning staggered out of the flowers. Her feet and clothes were covered with mud, and she didn't care at all, her heart was full of the shiny sugar gourd in her father's hand.
The man picked her up, and she grabbed the sugar gourd and happily put it in her mouth.
……
This dream was too long, and Ying Ning woke up from the dream, and a cold sweat almost soaked her clothes. The dream was too real, and it made her nervous and uneasy. If the child in the dream is her, who is the man? Why can't she see clearly? Yejun said that she had a father, so the person in the dream was her father. Why was she never impressed?
While talking about her father, Yejun pointed to the page of Qi Wuxian in the book. "Farewell to everyone, I would rather return to the Hades family." Ying Ning silently recited this sentence, and some things finally became clear.
The flowers that keep appearing in her dreams, as well as the poem, all imply that she is in the underworld. Could it be that Qi Wuxian is her father? Her heart ached, and there was a big empty space. She clutched her chest, in pain, there must be some secret that no one knew, that she didn't know. Otherwise, how could she have forgotten her father completely, leaving not even a trace of it.
Yejun said it was a conspiracy, so what is it? She collapsed on the bed, and there were things she had to figure out.
