Chapter 188: A Chilling Woman
"Laughter?"
"When I was in that room just now, I heard it below, and the laughter was far and near, near and far, and I was worried that the little girl from one family would be lost in it. But the girl didn't seem to hear it, did she? ”
My heart immediately sank to the bottom: "I ...... I didn't hear ......"
Shangguan Yan gritted his teeth, pressed his eyebrows, half-squinted, and quietly looked around.
I pulled him along, wanting to get away from this flower as soon as possible: "There are often strange noises here, let's go!" ”
Shangguan Yan didn't move, as if he was still catching the strange sound in the wind.
I was a little worried, and pulled him down the main road: "Don't listen, let's go!" ”
Shangguan Yan staggered a step and fell on top of me, I was caught off guard to help him, both of them fell to the ground, but I landed on the ground first, he fell on my leg, not to fall painfully, but my leg was crushed to pain.
"Lord Shangguan, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Yan didn't react, I stood up and hurriedly helped him up.
Shangguan Yan's face was pale, frowning and closing his eyes, I touched his face, it was surprisingly cold!
It was so pitiful that I felt uncomfortable for a while, and I hurriedly untied my clothes and wrapped myself around him, and the moonlight slipped out of his sleeve pocket and fell among the weeds, faintly illuminating us.
"Lord Shangguan, Lord Shangguan, are you okay, I'll send you to see a doctor, can you stand up?" I'm so anxious that I can't turn to anyone for help?
"I'm not...... I'm not ......" Shangguan Yan frowned and muttered softly.
I leaned over to listen, but I couldn't hear clearly: "What's not it?" ”
Shangguan Yan's eyes opened slightly, tears were hidden in the corners of his eyes, he looked at me sadly, and said softly: "I am not a shame for the people...... I'm not a coward, I'm not ......"
"How so? In our hearts, the adult is a good official who is honest and brave, how can he be a coward? ”
Shangguan Yan, how could he have such an idea? Or who had ever given him such an idea?
Many men may be cowardly, but it can never be him.
I turned my head to look, the lantern fell to the ground when we fell, and the candle inside did not know whether it had fallen or been extinguished by the rain, and there was no light anymore.
I got up clumsily, picked up the umbrella that had fallen on the side with my frozen hands, and propped it on the side, so as to shield Shangguan Yan from the cold rain that fell on my face. Then he stuffed the moonlight egg jade into his back pocket, and the white light was still faintly revealing from the back pocket, like a moonlight hidden in his arms.
Shangguan Yan was still unconscious, his face was sad, his expression was withered, and he looked at the raindrops falling from the edge of the umbrella in confusion, not knowing what he was dreaming about.
The hem of my skirt is completely soaked to the flesh, I have been very afraid of the cold since I was a child, I am wrapped up in cold days to go out, and the stove is constantly warmed at home, and I have never been out in the rain on such a cold and rainy night, this feeling is so painful that I can't cry.
Shangguan Yan, who had no clothes, had already begun to tremble, and I tried to wake him up, even if he woke up for a while, walked a short distance, and left this untouched Xihuayuan.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, can you stand up? ——”
Shangguan Yan whispered to himself: "I want to defend the border court with my eldest brother and serve the country, I am not a wasted person...... I'm not ......."
This Shangguan Yan, tired and sick, also thinking about serving the dynasty in his dreams, I couldn't help but reach out to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows, he and Han Sanxiao should be about the same age, one is just a husband who doesn't learn and doesn't know, and the other is already a capable official who can save the people, but Han Sanxiao is carefree all day long, and Shangguan Yan's eyebrows are pressed with countless sorrows about the people, as a friend, I would rather he be less energetic, can often let go of other people's sorrows, and can often show his face and smile for himself.
I lowered my head to look at the white light coming out of my back bag, and said softly: "The person who gave you this piece of egg jade should also think the same, I hope that you can still have an inextinguishable light to accompany you when the sun and moon are gone." ”
Somehow, I felt that the person who gave this piece of egg jade was the girl Shangguan Yan had been looking for, and this kind of thinking made me a little lost, and I wondered what kind of woman it was.
I gritted my teeth, untied my clothes and draped them on Shangguan Yan, put his arms on my shoulders, and pulled them up hard!
Staggered, staggered a few steps, and finally stood firm.
I supported Shangguan Yan, collected the umbrella, and then carried him on my back, he was wearing two clothes, which could block a little rain, and I used the umbrella as a crutch, so that I could carry Shangguan Yan on my back and walk a short distance-
I've always thought that if I leave this Xihuayuan, Shangguan Yan will be fine-
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm worried about you again......" Shangguan Yan whispered in my ear.
It turns out that he is also a child.
"You-you hold on for a while, just wait until you get out of here, and you'll be able to find someone to help soon." After only a few feet of walking, I already had sore legs and feet, and the ground was slippery and muddy, and it was even more difficult to walk.
"I didn't blame you, I just blamed myself, I hated myself for being weak and incompetent, and I had no shame to face ......" Shangguan Yan said sadly.
Did he say this to Yun Niang? I seem to have heard Shangguanli say that the mother and son were extremely close, as if they were estranged for one thing. Is it related to the girl who got married?
I couldn't answer anymore, while adjusting my dying qi, I wanted to find something to divert my attention, but the rain became heavier and heavier, Shangguan Yanmeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and the breath that hit my ears became weaker and weaker, I reached out and touched his hand, it was as cold as iron, I began to be afraid, afraid that the breath of life would disappear in him like this, afraid that the greedy ghost here would take him away from me, afraid that when I turned around, I would see a dead face of Tie Qing—
"My lord? You should answer me-" I gasped, feeling the blood on my head about to burst through the wound, the wind was whining, and there were some strange laughs, but it was not the laughter of a little girl that Shangguan Yan said, but the laughter of a boy.
Shangguan Yan didn't respond, I wanted to put him down to see how he was, but I didn't dare to let him go, I was afraid that as soon as I let him go, I wouldn't have the strength to carry him back.
"My lord? Shangguan Yan, you should answer me, are you okay? Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, and the inexplicable fear in my heart was about to tear me apart.
"Giggles—" A circle of laughter sounded around us, as if someone was running around us, and the ground was inexplicable, like some more sunken footprints, small, like footprints stepped on by a child's bare feet!
"Go away! Go away! I held Shangguan Yan's hand tightly, waving a broken umbrella and fiercely facing the Void Realm.
These evil ghosts are like hungry wolves smelling fresh rabbit meat against Shangguan Yan, who is physically and mentally weak, I am afraid that if I let go, Shangguan Yan's soul will be snatched away by them, and he will be like those who were sucked up by the ghosts of Xihuayuan before, so that only bones and white hair remain.
"Giggle, play with me, be the fish in my pool...... Giggle......"
"Go away!"
Under the pale jade light, the night rain was like an arrow, a white and transparent face suddenly appeared in front of me, I was walking forward, he seemed to be walking backwards in front of me, his eyes were blood-red, his lips were black, he stretched out his hands to us, vaguely as if he had a lot of things in his mouth and said: "Didn't you say that you like to play with me the most, didn't you say you love to play with me the most?!" ”
As he spoke, black blood flowed from his mouth.
"Ahh I screamed, my feet went limp, I leaned on the umbrella, and the umbrella bone broke!
Shangguan Yan leaned behind me and almost fell to the ground!
The boy was enraged, his expression was like a tightened cloth, all of them wrinkled together, and he opened his black mouth fiercely and spat out black saliva: "You lie! You are not allowed to come to us again! ”
"Hurry up, there's light there, isn't it an adult?" I heard an anxious voice in the distance.
But I couldn't speak, and looked at the vicious boy in a daze, because behind him, suddenly a layer of blood red was enveloped—
A blood-red shadow suddenly appeared behind him, dissolving him into his arms, this blood-red shadow slowly highlighted, it was a woman covered in blood, with her head down, full of sparse white hair, her bare hands were pale and full of wrinkles, she grabbed the boy's shoulders with both hands, not so much scratching, but picking, ten fingers were deep in the flesh of its shoulders, black blood flowed out, the boy seemed to be afraid of him, stared at me with wide eyes and wide mouth and frightened, the bones of the woman's whole body were shattering, she slowly pulled out the fingers that were picking at the boy's shoulder, The slimy voice was indescribably disgusting, and she pointed at us, her voice like an evil viper, entwined and coming out of her mouth: "I will let you be cursed by me for the rest of your lives, and you will not be able to succeed, and if you have an heir, you will die young, slut!" ”
She jerked her head up, and it was a bloody face!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
I thought I would faint, it would become a strange talk of being scared twice a day in Xihuayuan, but I didn't, I gritted my teeth, my teeth hurt, as if I suddenly had a strange strength, threw away the broken umbrella in my hand, and ran forward frantically with Shangguan Yan on my back, with such a body and strength, it was impossible for someone with such a heavy burden to run so fast, I think maybe my father gave me strength and made me strong and brave. Or, I'm so scared of death!
I don't know how far I've run, my legs are no longer numerous, I even wonder if they've been ripped away by the demons in the mud, and vaguely I seem to see a mess of candlelight waving, and a few panicked faces are visible in the darkness—
"Your Excellency!"
"Childe!"
"Kid ......"
There was a sad and weak woman who cried out in distress, which made my heart feel so sad.
Maybe I've been held up, or maybe the demons have hallucinated about me, but I feel safe at the moment.
There was a burst of relief on his back, Shangguan Yan was beside me, the wrinkles between his eyebrows still did not disappear due to sleepiness, he seemed to open his eyes in the shaking, and the pair of beautiful and slightly long eyes looked at me gently and sadly, as if to tell me a lot of sad past that no one knows.
