Chapter 33: Blood and Tears

The old woman's old horse was old, and it was used for farm work such as grinding all year round, so this long journey was naturally not as fast as the war horse that Bai Yu had given her. stopped and walked all the way, and when she stood outside the Ten Mile Peach Forest of Youzixian, it was already night two days later.

At this time, the peach forest changed the romantic fairy appearance when Ji Lianmei first came, the peach blossoms had already withered, leaving bare branches, and under the cold moon of a pill, it was as terrifying as a ghostly withered hand, and the wind rustled by, as if it was a curse of sorrow.

Even this paradise has been reduced to war ground?

Ji Lianmei swallowed her saliva and held the reins tightly. The road was littered with the bones of wild beasts, and even the red eyes of hungry wolves could be seen deep in the bushes.

Frightened, Ji Lianmei finally saw the familiar cabin.

"Youzixian, Youzixian, where are you?" Ji Lianmei pushed open the creaking wooden door and shouted inside.

Inside, it was dim and silent, and there was not a single human figure.

Strange, is it looking for a swim?

Ji Lianmei bolted the old horse, and then, she put her hand on the old wooden table, and twisted a handful of dust from the table. There was a thick handful of ash on the table, and it seemed that the owner of the cabin had not returned for a long time.

Ji Lianmei picked up a blowtorch placed on the table in the dark and lit the candles on the four walls, only to find that the simple furniture around her was also covered with a thick layer of dust.

At this time, Ji Lianmei saw a yellowed letter paper, pressed by a stone and placed in the middle of the table.

Slowly opening the letterhead, it was the handwriting of Youzixian:

Princess Lianmei, when you read this letter, I should no longer be in this world, and the rest of the creation is up to you. The well that faces the future is at the end of the peach blossom forest, and you only need to jump down before the dawn of the five-star sun to return to your time. Remember, during this period, it is important to ensure that the ancient well is intact, otherwise, its function of traveling through time and space is very likely to fail. If you can go back safely, please say hello to the master on my behalf and don't come back. This is the way of the jungle, so don't be nostalgic about it. Don't feel sorry for me, I'm willing to die. I want to tell you that the Nine Emperors of Wu beside you is Bai Yucheng, the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, this person is cunning as a fox, insidious as a wolf, and is a dangerous and terrible person, you must stay away from him, he has a handsome and elegant appearance, but his city is as deep as we can imagine. You must not fall in love with him.

This is the end of the letter.

Wandering Immortal..... He's dead? Ji Lianmei's hands pinched the letter paper and trembled uncontrollably.

It was I who died for me, and I killed him.

Ji Lianmei rushed out of the door and ran madly into the depths of the peach forest.

And some have died because of me. Zizhi, Ji Xia, and Ji Jingchen are all ..... because of me I don't want that, I don't want to. As long as I am gone in this era, no one will die to save me. Yes, I'm leaving, leaving right away!

However, in the depths of the peach forest, only a remnant well remains, isolated between the scorched earth. The marble blocks on which the well platform was built were broken, and a boulder sealed the wellhead tightly.

Once the well is damaged, the ability to travel through time and space is also lost........

This boulder not only sealed the mouth of the well, but also sealed Ji Lianmei's heart.

She staggered over and sat down on the ground, her hands rubbing gently against the cold rocks. On the other side of this boulder, there is her mother, friends, the peaceful life she wants, and the hometown she misses.

"How can this be .......?"

This well was the only hope she had crossed back into, but now that the well had been destroyed, everything she had missed and longed for was gone.

It's like going from hell and seeing the light from heaven, only to find out that it's a different and deeper hell. From despair, to hope, and then from hope to despair, the whole person is constantly torn apart by these two moods, as if to be torn apart.

This kind of mental whipping is more painful than any emotion. Ji Lianmei looked in a trance and walked forward in confusion.

She didn't know where the road lay was, and she didn't care about the terrifying white bones. Also, if a person is mentally traumatized, how can he care about physical fear?

Walking to a place in a trance, she suddenly stopped and looked up.

On the dilapidated plaque beside him, the words "Chengwangfu" were covered with dust. The vermilion paint had long since peeled off, and the little gold inlaid on the knocker had been knocked off by anyone. Everywhere the eye can see, there is a depression.

It carries all the memories she has since she crossed over, including happiness, sadness, despair, and touching. Although the process is mixed, these memories are like a glimpse of a young man in white, with a smile on his lips, which is becoming clearer and clearer in his heart.

Bai Yucheng's bland words suddenly sounded in her ears, "I can let you go, but if one day, you return to me by yourself, then I will never let you leave again." ”

Hehe, Bai Yucheng, have you even reached this step? How deep your scheming is, and how ruthless your methods are.

The banyan tree in front of the door moves without wind.

"You've followed me all the way, it's time to come out." Ji Lianmei stood facing the door, shouting calmly at the dense leaves behind her.

Four or five men dressed in black fell from the tree, half-kneeling in front of her.

"Princess, you ....."

"I'll go back with you."

Great Song Barracks.

Bai Yucheng stood elegantly in front of the barracks' tent, smiling and looking at the figure slowly walking in the distance, as if she expected that she would definitely come back. The young man in white clothes stood proudly in the wind and sand, not stained with dust.

Ji Lianmei looked at him with empty eyes, walked towards him, and walked straight past him. Bai Yucheng took her hand and said softly, "You're back?" ”

Ji Lianmei didn't even have the strength to respond, her lips moved slightly, and she fell softly into Bai Yucheng's arms, losing consciousness.

Bai Yucheng's hand gently stroked Ji Lianmei's pale face, brushed away the dust stained on the corners of her clothes, and gently stroked Ji Lianmei's pale cheeks, the girl's face was still the same, but the innocent smile of the past has also become a thing of the past.

His delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he hugged her and walked towards the tent.

Bai Yucheng, you won. In terms of scheming, I can't play with you, and in terms of ruthlessness, I can't compare to you. I lost, I lost completely, I lost so much that I lost the strength to resist.......

When she woke up, she was lying in her cell again, this time the door was unlocked, but she didn't want to run away at all.

The ancient well was destroyed, and she couldn't go back to her time. Only here can she continue to survive.

A tear fell, and all thoughts were lost.

At this time, Bai Yucheng walked in with a food box, slowly squatted in front of her, and said, "Don't run away?" ”

Ji Lianmei looked at him, paused, and said flatly: "Bai Yucheng, you killed Youzi Immortal, didn't you." ”

Bai Yucheng just smiled, put the dishes in the food box on the table, and did not answer.

"The dust in Youzixian's house has accumulated very thickly, and it is obvious that no one has lived in it for a long time. But the letter was clean, apparently having been placed on the table not long ago. Youzixian's residence is secret, and there are no enemies on weekdays, so except for you, no one has a motive to kill a charlatan who has lived in seclusion all year round. You also sent someone to destroy that ancient well, right? ”

Bai Yucheng listened to her patiently, but smiled with relief, touched her head, and said, "Fool, I'm finally smart." ”

"Bai Yucheng, I have no value to you now, why do you have to try your best to torture me."

"It's true that you are worthless to me, but to others, you are more valuable than anyone else. So, I'm going to keep you around. As for the matter of future time and space, I don't know if you are playing some trick with Youzixian, so it is safer to destroy the well. Bai Yucheng leaned into Ji Lianmei's ear and whispered.

"You're the most cold-blooded person I've ever met." Ji Lianmei snorted coldly and said.

When Bai Yucheng heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he tightly pinched Ji Lianmei's jaw with one hand, and a sharp cold light appeared in Gu Shui's waveless eyes, and Ji Lianmei felt like a prey in the eyes of a python, and her whole body couldn't move.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his flat smile looked extremely cold at the moment: "Ji Lianmei, even the blood flowing in my body is no longer my own. Cold-blooded or not, what is there to care about? ”

When Bai Yucheng was still a child, Yin sent him and Situ Che to Wuyue to find the Nine Emperor Princes who Emperor Wu had left behind in the people and kill him. Subsequently, Yin drained the blood from the child's body and transferred it to Bai Yucheng's body, so that in the future, he could replace the Nine Emperors of Wu Yue without any flaws and implement the great plan of rejuvenating the country.

Drain the blood from all over your body and replace it with someone else's blood. This is not only physical pain, but also tortures Bai Yucheng's arrogant heart all the time.

From then on, no matter how many injuries Bai Yu suffered and how much blood he shed, he was reluctant to find a doctor to treat his wounds. This blood does not belong to oneself, and it is good to drain it as soon as possible.

He let go of Ji Lianmei, closed the door of the cell again, and left. Ji Lianmei kicked over the food box in front of her and cursed, "Bastard! ”

But in the future, he can only rely on this bastard to make a living.

There was only a moment when Ji Lianmei could clearly feel Bai Yucheng's emotions, which was resentment. It is very rare for him to reveal such true feelings, which shows that the haze left by this incident in his heart must be extremely deep.

If you were to be yourself, you would encounter such a thing in your childhood, and it would be reasonable for you to grow into a terrifying person like Bai Yucheng in the future. But no matter how pitiful he is, it is an indisputable fact that he killed her friend and plunged the people into misery.

Ji Lianmei lay down tiredly, not listening, not looking, not thinking, it seems that she can anesthetize herself, let herself give up, the so-called sense of justice, learn to forbear and submit.
