Chapter 151 Thoughts on the Cause of the Deceased
Early in the morning, a decree was sent to the Holy Dragon's case, causing him to be furious.
The consequence of the holy wrath was that on the second day of the court, more than ten people were pushed out of the palace gate and beheaded.
The fresh blood stains were washed away by a sudden shower before they could be dried.
And for all this, Qian Ye, who stayed in the six doors, never knew anything. She didn't know what happened in the years that followed the battle for the throne. I don't know why rights are so attractive. I don't know what will happen to those who are taken away.
At this time, she was standing in the drizzle, holding an oil-paper umbrella painted with smoke and rain landscapes.
"Senior brother." The young man's voice was clear and pleasant, like a brass bell hanging under the eaves of the house in the morning rain of September.
"Little one......" Qian Ye blinked, not quite sure.
"Senior brother is really too good! Obviously, Xiaoyi came from so far to find his senior brother, but his senior brother had such a frightened expression! β
In the drizzle, the young man's voice rang in his ears through the rain curtain, as if he had brought Qianye to that year, that cold winter.
Winter on Lebun Island always comes earlier, and when the first snowflakes fall from the sky, the winter day officially arrives.
The wind blowing from the surface of the sea was cold and biting, and the salty smell of the sea water came along with the long, cold winter.
When the snow covers everything, there will be no living creatures on the ground. The plants have been frozen to death by the harsh environment, and some animals have been unable to endure the cold and have taken refuge and burrowed into deep burrows. Black bears have stored a large amount of food long before winter arrives, and rely on thick fat to survive the whole winter.
But because of the war, the homeless people could only look at the heavy snow, wrap their thin robes tightly, and endure the hunger in their stomachs to survive the long winter.
Perhaps, some of them will not be able to see the cherry blossoms bloom the next year, so they can only lie quietly in the snow, let the snow cover them, and eventually rot along with the soil.
In the snow on the side of the road, a child in ragged clothes lay there, and none of the passers-by gave them a superfluous look. In such weather, it is not uncommon for a beggar to freeze to death. They don't need to worry about this kind of thing, because the war is coming, and they need to get out of here as soon as possible and find another place to hide from the fighting.
When night fell, the snowflakes in the sky became the only color in the world, even if the starlight and moonlight were bleak, but the color of the snow reflected the world as if it were day.
The child was bruised in the snow, his body was stiff, and the tall poplar tree behind him had few branches, most of which had been cut down and burned as firewood by people passing by. Because, this is a dead tree that has been dead for a long time.
On a night like this, no one goes out. Unless, he wants to freeze to death.
The snow seems to be falling non-stop, threatening to cover the whole world.
Suddenly, something in the snow moved. It was a slender finger, so dirty that it could no longer see its original color, poking out of the snow and struggling. Immediately afterwards, an arm stretched out, the shriveled arm like dead wood lacked the luster of the child's body, and only a coil of cloth rolled up became the only embellishment on the arm, which could slip off at any time when hung on the wrist.
Qian Ye was awakened by a biting chill, and she lay there, in a trance thinking that she was lying in the freezer of the hospital morgue.
What the? Didn't she get shot in the chest? Why are you staying here? When she opened her eyes, she saw a white expanse, and if it weren't for the vivid sensation coming from her body, she would have thought she was dreaming!
All around is white, and there are snowflakes in the sky one after another, and the sky is dark......
What's going on? She asked herself as she sat up carefully. However, the moment she saw her body, the shock in her heart could not be described in words.
How could this be her body? Those shriveled and thin limbs are clearly the possession of only a malnourished child. She, on the other hand, is an adult.
But at the moment, she can't take care of that for the time being. Because she knew that if she didn't get out of here quickly, she would freeze to death here.
In the end, Qian Ye walked for an unknown amount of time, endured the cold weather, and finally found an abandoned cave. This appears to be the place where a black bear once lived, as the bones of all animals remained, as well as some black bear feces in the depths of the cave. Even though it's winter, the smell here isn't good.
However, the weedy cave is sheltered from the cold wind at the moment, and the cave is also very warm. The problem of keeping warm was solved, but at the moment something more serious than enduring the hunger in her belly was bothering her.
Why did she appear in such a strange place, and in a completely unfamiliar posture!
Qianye told herself to be calm and calm, but one thing she could do at the moment was to hold her head...... Idle. It wasn't until a long time passed that a word appeared in her mind that had become very hot in recent years - crossing. She was sure that she had crossed over, or could be called a rebirth. As for where she is now, it is not known.
She could tell that she was still a woman, and there was not the slightest extra part of her body, but she was clearly a beggar in ragged clothes. And looking at the fabric and the style of the clothes, she only felt that her head was big. This is not a modern attire, and looking at the low houses in the distance, it does not seem to be seen in modern times.
In this endless confusion, she gradually fell asleep, until the morning sun woke her from her sleep.
Thinking that when she woke up, she would find that she would return to reality, and she would not go to resemble it, so she slept against the rock wall all night, and her whole body was very sore. Standing up on his knees, he looked at the vast snowfield. She was well aware that this was no longer the world she was in.
"Hehβ" She smiled bitterly, and stepped out of her thin legs, enduring the hunger that almost burned her heart, and walked hobbly through the snow, which could fall into the snow at any moment, and be completely buried by the snow around her.
Although it is not a familiar body, even the limbs are immature and malnourished by children. But the quality of this body was unexpected, far beyond her expectations, and it was a miracle that she could persist until now.
Finally, she finds the first person she met on the snowy field. It was a woman, dressed in a thick cotton robe and carrying a basket.
"Where is this place, please?"
The woman frowned and said, "δ½γθ‘γ£γ¦γγ γ?" β
"......" feelings she not only crossed, but also came to the island country. At this moment, she just wanted to burst into a foul mouth: "Damn!" Even if the old lady's island dialect is so fluent that the island people are embarrassed, can't she just be thrown here casually? But at this time, she still accepted this fact very calmly. Because there's nothing more exciting than dying.
Yes, she is alive. Although in a different way, in a completely strange place, he is indeed alive. Alive...... That's great!
Spring in Hokkaido comes later in other places, and when the morning sun rises and layers of shallow white waves rise on the sea, there is still a faint mist on the sea in the distance, and it is often difficult to look at it at a glance. In this way, it is about the legend that there is Penglai on the sea!
Although it was already early spring, the sea was still icy and bitterly cold. A thin damp mood wafted in the air, as if to herald the arrival of a rain.
Tightening his robe that was blown by the cold wind, Qian Ye carried a basket of seaweed freshly pulled from the rocks, and walked slowly towards the market where the crowd was gradually becoming denser.
The fighting did not spread here, it seemed to have caused panic among the people, and then they laughed and walked away.
The peaceful life of the past has been restored, and the streets have become more crowded.
Walking straight to a shop that was open along the street, she slowly stopped, opened the door and walked in. Most of the shops are not open for business, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets, but they all come to the early market.
"Auntie, I'm back." She raised her voice inside.
The woman's expression was faint, and when she saw the comer, she only bent the corners of her mouth shallowly. "I'm back, breakfast is ready."
The woman didn't think there was anything wrong with letting a four-year-old go alone to the reef to pick seaweed. And Qian Ye also thought that it would be good to have a place to live in this troubled world, and what to do so much! Besides, she now has food to eat, and she relies on her own labor income, so she naturally eats with peace of mind.
Breakfast was a simple soup and rice, but it was the best for her. Because it is close to the sea, the soup is made with fresh fish and kelp, and the rice is sprinkled with some seaweed, and the fish soup is delicious. In a few moments, she finished a bowl of rice.
"Auntie, I'm full."
The woman looked at her, frowned, and said, "Next time, you are not allowed to eat so much!" Between the words, there was dissatisfaction and command.
Qian Ye also knew that he had too much, so he spit out his little tongue and promised, "I know, it will definitely not be next time." "In this day and age, the people are not rich. Besides, although the aunt opened a shop selling seafood, her income was not much, so she had to know how to be satisfied. At least, the aunt didn't kick her out, and gave her food.
Thinking of that day, Qian Ye was still a little incredulous. The aunt in front of her actually brought herself back because of her own words of help. So, is there more kindness in human nature?
However, Qianye didn't know. Soon, she will be almost destroyed because of her own words.
"When you're full, go to work in the back!" The aunt said angrily.
