CHAPTER XXVI
Chapter 26
When Yang Yuan woke up groggily, he found that his hands and feet were tied and thrown on the dirty floor of the firewood room, and there were a string of blood on the floor, as if an injured person had been dragged in.
When Yang Yuan woke up, the blood stains that meandered all over the ground seemed to come to life, like a snake, crawling towards the place where Yang Yuan was, getting closer and closer...... Getting closer......
Yang Yuan struggled to get up, and at this time, he felt a tingling pain coming from his legs, like two large mouths of window paper, and the knife-like wind was blowing from the outside into the bloody meat, he hurriedly looked down and found that the blood stains that meandered from the door were from the two big mouths on his legs!
Shi Chong was sitting on the Taishi chair in front of him drinking tea, and the maid standing next to him was holding a long red whip in her hand!
Seeing him wake up, Shi Chong put down the tea in his hand and took the long whip instead, with a smile on his face, but the red whip in his hand was unceremoniously whipped towards him!
"Ah!!h
"Shouting what?!"
Yang Yuan was so excited that he almost fell off the bed, but fortunately he held on to the hot object in front of him so that he didn't fall. I was dizzy and dizzy, and I was kicked away and hit my head on the bedpost.
Yang Yuan covered his head, and when he saw Shi Chong's iceberg face full of disgust, he reflexively hugged his trembling self.
Yang looked at Shi Chong tremblingly, and saw that he was seriously rubbing the soles of his shoes, and his hands were empty, how could there be any trace of the red whip!
And he was also lying on the soft couch in Shifu dignifiedly, and patted his chest as if he was out of breath.
"Oops! It scares me so much! Ji Lun, don't give me the truth, why are you two brothers, you have to believe me! I'm just too bored to stay in the house, so I took that little girl out for a walk, who knew that the person would be gone......"
Yang Yuan couldn't help but say a lot of words, but the people in front of him didn't say a word. Yang Yan swallowed his saliva and looked up, and saw that Shi Chong finally wiped off a small piece of grass clippings on the sole of his shoe, took the tea served by the maid, and half-lifted the lid and blew slowly.
Ignore someone chattering at all.
Someone habitually squeezed out a smile, gritted his teeth and continued: "Ji Lun! You have to trust me! ”
Yang Yuan finished the last sentence, only to find that the air was terrifyingly quiet, Yang Yuan looked up, and saw Shi Chong pinching the fan and looking at himself with a smile, and the little guy who had just run into the house on the side looked at himself in a daze, and opened his mouth to Shi Chong: "Uh...... Childe, I went to ask the inner courtyard, and they all said that I hadn't seen Zhu Niang for a day, and Aunt Qingrui didn't know where to go......"
The fan in Shi Chong's hand slapped on the phalanges, and this heavy sound seemed to be directly slapped on Yang Yuan's heart. Yang Yuan covered his chest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth finally froze on his face.
He remembered that the dream was the scene of Shi Chong's interrogation of the prisoner!
Two years ago, Yang Yuan was accompanying Sister Ah with a big belly to visit the prison, Sister Ah pretended to be an ordinary palace maid, and successfully concealed all the people in the Dali Temple Prison, including Shi Chong, who was interrogating the prisoner in the next room, and did not recognize his sister, who is the current queen mother.
At that time, he was burning a fine iron red whip in his hand in the next room, the red whip was already a red color, and he didn't know if it was blood stains or anger.
When Yang Yuan arrived, the prisoner next door was probably only one breath left, and he couldn't shout, and the person's wheezing sound like a broken bellows could be heard clearly even by the next door.
That voice is simply creepy!
Yang Yuan hurriedly glanced at it and entered the cell, only to see that the bloody prisoner had both legs sawed off, and he didn't know how fast the torture instrument was used, and the man even had neatly exposed bones.
The young man with the red whip, the gloomy and ruthless young man, just stayed in the memory of the young Yang Yuan.
In the dream just now, Yang Yuan actually imagined himself as a prisoner who had been tortured to death under Shi Chong's hands!
…………
Now that she has lost this girl, Yang Yuan is in a cold sweat.
Speaking of which, he and Shi Chong only officially met a year ago.
Shi Chong's reputation is great.
First, it was because of his great Sima father who was so romantic that the entire capital was stunned; The second is because of his ability to do business as a noble son.
The acquaintance of the two began with Yang Yuan's dead face begging someone to take him into the palace to visit the seriously ill sister Ah, and the many times since then have been begged by Yang Yuan with a dead face, thinking that he Yang Yuan has been a demon king of the world who can't be messed with since he was a child, and his background is tough enough and horizontal enough, and he is the object of the young masters in the whole capital begging, but Shi Chong is the person who even he Yang Yuan wants to beg.
It's not why, just for him, Shi Chong is now the most favored minister of the saint.
Only by getting close to him can Yang Yuan hide from everyone's eyes and ears and sneak into the harem to visit his poor sister.
Thinking about it carefully, Yang Yuan obviously didn't know enough about Shi Chong, and his impression of Shi Chong was still stuck in the ruthless and gloomy Dali Temple boy two years ago.
Shi Chong: "Brush! He put away the fan at once, looked at Yang Yuan and opened his mouth slowly: "No need to look for him, tie him up and throw him in the firewood room!" ”
"Yes!"
…………
Ten mile pavilion on the outskirts of Luoyang City.
Zhu Niang took the grilled fish handed over by Sun Xiu, thanked her, and ate it in small bites.
She didn't understand it now, where did she get the courage to rush up to him for help?
Does he still know himself?
Did he recognize himself and agree to take him away?
Seeing that he smiled so well at that time, he should have recognized himself, right? Oops, no, no! Didn't he laugh at everyone like that!
But if he didn't recognize himself, why did he take him away?
Zhu Niang lowered her head and ate the fragrant fish in her mouth, her mind turned back and forth, and she was almost knotted!
"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious? ”
Zhu Niang lowered her head so much, took a small bite and was in a daze for a while, more in a daze than eating fish. I can't help but let the fish griller think that his skills are not good, so that the girl who eats fish looks so entangled.
Sun Xiu just asked this in a joking way, but Zhu Niang shook her head like a rattle, a little head moved around, like a chicken pecking rice, the smile on the corner of Sun Xiu's mouth deepened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch this fluffy little head.
This girl was born beautiful, but she is still young, and she looks like this at a young age, and I don't know how stunning she will be in the future. When this girl ran in front of him from the Cui Sleeve Pavilion, Sun Xiu couldn't help but think of his sister Ah Yin, who was sent by the ghost, so he took this girl who could be said to be a stranger out of the city.
When Sun Xiu removed her big hand, she saw that Zhu Niang's eyes were moist, and the red circle was pitiful, she was already having a good appearance, and at this moment, this appearance made Sun Xiu, who also claimed to be calm, panicked.
He is the least comfortable with girls, he is gentle, has a good temper, and will not make people cry, so he has no experience in comforting people.
In his previous life, Zhu Niang's brother also liked to touch his head, so when Sun Xiu reached out to touch his head just now, Zhu Niang thought of his brother, so his eyes were red.
Zhu Niang looked up and saw her benefactor's helpless look, and burst into a smile: "Thank you yet...... Grace and Father-in-law come to the rescue. Thank you so much! I'm fine, I'm just ...... I was just...... I remembered my brother......"
Seeing that she was no longer sobbing, Sun Xiu smiled and handed over the grilled fish at hand: "Don't be sad, girl, haven't you escaped now, the girl should be happy." I will send the girl home in the future, but I don't know where the girl's family lives? What is the name of the elder brother? ”
Zhu Niang opened her mouth and really wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered the world that she might never be able to return to, and her brother who she would never see again, but she pursed her mouth tightly.
The tears that I finally held back have a tendency to open again.
Sun Xiu held up the half-handed grilled fish, not knowing what to do.
"Hey, why are you crying again? Don't cry girl, don't cry...... If you miss your family, I will be your eldest brother in the future...... Next...... is second in the family, if the girl doesn't dislike it, in the future, you can call my second brother, what do you think? ”
Sun Xiu finished speaking at a loss, but Zhu Niang was still crying, crying so much that her shoulders trembled, and she didn't pay attention to him. He took back the grilled fish and touched his nose, got up and was about to pick up some dry firewood, but heard the person behind him call him timidly: "Second brother." ”
…………
It's as cool as water.
In the idle dream house, Shi Chong stood in the courtyard sprinkled with hoarfrost with his hands, his thin coat rustling in the night breeze.
He was like a wooden man who didn't feel the cold, standing silently in the night wind, and the hoarfrost on his black hair condensed layer after layer.
The frost was full of flowers, which made the people in the courtyard who were in the wind of the jade tree also dyed with nameless sadness.
At this time, if you look closely, you will find that the silver-white color of Shi Chong's black hair is not Huashuang at all, but a layer of hair from top to bottom, from black to white!
After a while, Shi Chongcai sighed, he pinched the corners of his eyebrows, and turned to go in the direction of the study.
Entering the study, Shi Chong waved his hand to dismiss the two maids who were preparing the carbon fire cage for the warm house, and raised his hand to turn the fragrant brain Rui beast on the desk that was spitting Long Yanxiang, facing southeast.
"Click, click!"
The wall behind the study turned around with the fragrant brain beast, and retreated from the middle to both sides, and after a while, after the study wall receded, there was a hollow carved door that was exactly the same as the other direction of the door!
Shi Chong raised his feet and entered the door, outside the hollow carved door, the fine sand paved the road, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, and in the middle, it was an ancient tree full of prosperous trees.
The flowers are pink and white, and the soft fluff in the middle trembles and trembles, revealing a sweet and charming taste.
Entering this courtyard, Shi Chong sat under the flower tree, looked up at the flowers on the flower tree that seemed to be forever undefeated, like an old man who had trekked for thousands of years and could no longer stand the loneliness, and closed his eyes.
After a while, the white hair on his head that seemed to be covered with a circle of silver moonlight slowly returned to a black and bright color.
