Chapter 36: Fate (1)
"Run, run, run.... Let's leave here with the young lady, okay... Xiao Xia, let's leave here with Miss...."Jin Ruo tugged at the pink and purple cuffs of early summer, muttering, nervous, mixed with an almost morbid persistence in her tone, and her chestnut eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, misty, and her unusually hollow.
She repeated it over and over again, and her words almost cried: "Let's take Miss out of here, leave Dongcheng, let's leave.... Here, the young lady can't stay here.... Can't ,,,,,."
"But why not?" Early Summer asked rhetorically.
......
Night falls imperceptibly—this is, a quiet night—
- The wedding night of Kai and Linlang.
It's night, there is no wind and no moon, and the stars are hanging in the sky.
Jin Ruo and Chu Xia were appointed as the maids of the room at this time, and they were sadly guarding the door of the marriage room.
You can hear the ambiguous whispers coming from the marriage room, which arouses people's imagination.
And Jin Ruo was guarding the door, a pair of chestnut eyes were hazy with little tears, across the immature cheeks, and wet bright yellow clothes, she was holding Chu Xia's hand stiffly, with a stunned look, and only murmured vigorously: "It's too late, it's too late, it's already started, the ending that can't be stopped no matter what....."
"What, what's the beginning, what are you talking about?" Early summer asked her. But Jin Ruo just can't say why, which makes Chu Xia even more confused, and subconsciously, wishful thinking that Jin Ruo is unrequited love for Miss, but because of family background, gender reasons and can't be together, and now at the door watching his beloved Miss with others, so that his heart can't stand it and becomes stunned, hey, poor child, is also a poor person who suffers for love. Come to think of it, if this little girl was born a few decades later, in a civilized modern society, she must have a family background, gender or anything should not be a problem.
Chu Xia glanced at Jin Ruo with sympathetic eyes, wanting to comfort her with something, but at this time, the ambiguous whispers in her ears rose and fell, always giving her a sense of being present at Ivy's scene, and her face became very hot inexplicably, even if they were just guarding the door, but the sound in the house was lingering in her ears, which was incomparably real and had a strong sense of picture, which made her have no time to take care of Jinruo's many wrongs, and then comfort her, but she could only frown herself, trying to resist the too explicit feelings in the house.
Just like a saying, the mud bodhisattva crosses the river - it is difficult to protect herself, and she can't persuade her well.
"Can we go first? I don't want to stay here anymore. Chu Xia said embarrassedly, it was a refusal of Jinruo's invitation to take Miss to elope, her eyes glanced at the sky again, the torn crack in the sky that was clearly visible during the day, at this time it was not so obvious because of the darkness of the night light, but she could still faintly see the deep outline through the starlight, and the small red soft worms around the rift, scattering a flash of red light in a sporadic way.
If she is allowed to stay here for the night, then she might as well go back. And it's already so late, will Liuche's mother find out something? As a result, some unnecessary incidents will be generated. What's more important, how long has it been since he recovered at Qingyu Bar? Should she go back and see him?
"I know Mademoiselle loves him very much, but is it worth it?" Jin Ruo buried her head very low, as if she was suppressing her patience, and she was repressing, very, very desperately suppressing her patience, so that her entire thin shoulders were trembling violently. Suddenly, Jin Ruo raised his head, and in a trance, in the early summer, he suddenly saw that Jin Ruo's chestnut eyes actually emitted a light red light, and a delicate and immature baby face became familiar and unfamiliar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
Who is it? Who are you?
It's not just about Jinruo.
The moment she saw Jinruo's strange eyes, all the fragmented vague impressions of early summer slowly pieced together and gathered, and she suddenly seemed to think of many things that she couldn't remember clearly.
For example, the unusually familiar young man at the wedding, such as the word Dongcheng, such as the familiar scene here.
Here, here's .....
"Let's go in and take the young lady away!" Jin Ruo looked at Chu Xia and said in an unusually firm tone.
"Huh?" Early summer was shocked: "Go in at this time?" This, this, this, this ....."
Isn't this to see a live version of the eighteen bans? Forehead drop god, how can it be? On the ventral side of early summer, even if you want to take the young lady away, you should rob the wedding at the wedding to look more handsome, and at this time, at this time, everyone is in the hole, and Jinruo, this little girl, is making a lot of fun. What's more, at this moment, in this situation, in the early summer, she wants to leave here far too late, how can she go in with her?
However, without waiting for Chu Xia to answer, Jin Ruo forcibly pulled her and pushed open the door of the sandalwood carving beside her, with a kind of strength that Chu Xia had never expected.
Time seems to stand still for a moment. Early summer closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at the scene in front of her.
And Jin Ruo's warm hand still tugged at the cuffs of early summer, dragging her forward, rushing - the road ahead seemed to be far away and endless, as if no matter how she ran, she would not run to the edge or hit any obstacles. It's weird, not at all like the way a bedroom should be - after all, a bedroom, no matter how spacious, should be easy to run to the border, or at least hit the furniture or something, and it stands to reason that the people in the room should scream when they see a sudden intruder, right?
But they kept running, running as if they were in a no-man's land, without hitting a single obstacle, and there was no sound around them, not even the sound of their footsteps.
In the early summer, she felt a little unusual, so she slowly opened her eyes, and the darkness in her vision gradually brightened, and she found that she was not in the bride and groom's wedding room at all!! She, where is this?
Surrounded by a misty white, Jin Ruo took her hand, so weirdly stepped on this side of the sudden, pure white land, front and back, left and right, up and down, east and west, north and south, inside and outside, all empty and vast, there is nothing left, only an endless white, empty white, silent white, endless white.
It's like arriving in another world.
Raising her eyes to the sky, she couldn't see the traces of the blood worms tearing through the space before in early summer, which made her nervous and fearful for no reason.
Could it be, won't she be able to go back.....
quickly cut the wound, and in early summer, a series of blood-colored insects were released, and his own miserable white face also revealed a complex blood pattern, covering most of his face, like a swaying flower, a flower on the other side.
"Where is this?!! What the hell are you doing? ”
Jin Ruo didn't answer, only ran vigorously with early summer, and the two of them, like two black dots, moved ridiculously in this endless white - how small they seemed in this piece of white, not to mention the blood worms released, before they could find a gap that could tear the space, they had already been lost in the endless white, and they would never return.
Gradually, in early summer, she began to feel dizzy due to excessive blood loss, and constantly wheezing, and cold sweat flowed down her head and down her back.
Sensing that something was wrong, Chu Xia tried to break free of Jinruo's hand, but she couldn't, she was aggrieved and was forced by Jinruo to run, and couldn't stop - they ran fast, ran in pain.
Gradually, the surrounding white faded like ink in water, and the surrounding scenery began to be different, with some bright spots appearing, and everything that was empty suddenly became more recognizable: in early summer, I saw a man and a woman on the mahogany bed who were lingering with selflessness, red candles swaying, and early summer screamed in shame, and was about to close his eyes and ignore all this, but the picture suddenly turned around, and a young man lying in a pool of blood appeared in front of him.
The young man had a sallow complexion, and a bright red flower bloomed on his neck, which looked strange and treacherous.
Originally, the boy was lying in a pool of dark red blood, but for some reason those pools of blood moved on their own, and they flowed into the boy's body, as if they were doing self-recovery for the boy - this scene of blood backflow made Chu Xia inexplicably familiar, she was stunned, and then suddenly realized that she was obviously a living dead who could flow blood backwards!
She opened her eyes wide and looked carefully, looking at the pool of blood that seemed to have life, and it was clearly composed of tiny insects, which writhed their soft bodies and swam towards the boy little by little - this scene reminded Chu Xia of her dying self in the past, and countless blood insects crawled into her body little by little to maintain her "life". At that time, she didn't have any too intense feelings, and now she looks at other people's similar ways of reincarnation from the perspective of a bystander, and for some reason, it makes early summer feel a kind of amplified nausea.
It turned out that he was the same as the teenager, and what flowed in his body was not blood, but a series of disgusting reptiles.....
Suddenly, there was a group of people around the boy, led by a middle-aged man who was seven points similar to the boy, stroking the wrench in his hand, sneering at the sleepy boy on the ground, he said word by word in a cold, chilling voice: "My stupid son, you can't run away.....
This is the fate of the Nankang family...."
The fate of the Nankang family?
Chu Xia muttered the meaning of this sentence, only felt ironic, she thought about it: what can you say that you can't run away, it is obvious that the young man's body has also been planted with blood worms that are exactly the same as herself, such a disgusting Gu technique, eroding their bodies day and night, hollowing them out, when one day blood and blood worms are replaced, the family will get a powerful "weapon" that can be mastered, and then more firmly protect this city, has become the best tool to stand above the major forces.
The scene of the entire R City seems to come to mind - the white walls and black tiles that surround me since I was a child, as if guarded by an invisible force, and the hustle and bustle of the city cannot enter the twisting and turning alleys. Mysterious customs and household chores have long been integrated and become a way of life for people.... Such an unusual place is a beautiful place where the Nankang family has lived and protected for generations.
Like a treasure land, but also like a gorgeous cage that imprisons a canary.
At least, not every generation of the descendants of the Nankang family is willing to stay (voluntarily trapped) in this city for the rest of their lives, exhausting their mental strength to protect this side of the land that is considered good, so as to give up the more tempting poetry and distance.
Even if it's fate, I have the right to be unwilling.....
The boy on the ground had already fallen asleep unconscious, and he couldn't hear the middle-aged man's words.
Jin Ruo pulled the early summer and was still running forward, as if no one was running, none of the people present seemed to be able to see the two of them, Jin Ruo pulled the early summer through the lying teenager, and also through the group of people around the teenager, stepping on the footsteps of time, running to, more vague and distant ahead.
That's, where?
