Chapter Seventy-Five: Her Story
"Bai Yu? Bai Yu? Yan Zhuo has seen people who are seasick and seasick, but he doesn't seem to have such terrible symptoms as him.
Bai Yu still didn't react.
Yan Zhuo hurriedly got up and propped up the penny, and looked around, there were steep slopes and strange rocks along the coast, and there was no place to land on the shore at all.
She looked back at Bai Yu's appearance again, sweat was like water, and her face was pale as if she was about to collapse.
As soon as she gritted her teeth, she put down the penny and sat down beside Bai Yu, and took the initiative to reach over, "Hold on to my hand!" ”
Bai Yu was like a person swimming in the water when he met a life-saving driftwood, and subconsciously grabbed Yan Zhuo's hand, together with his arm, and hugged him in his arms, and Yan Zhuo was forced to sit down next to him.
The bamboo raft swirled along the current, swinging forward together, and the temperature of the slender arm spread through the clothes to the chest, and the feeling of stuffiness gradually dissipated.
"Bai Yu?" The distant voice in my ears had a gentle power that reassured people's hearts, "Why don't I tell you a story?" If you want to hear it, just nod your head. ”
In this way, she is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
When she first started going to sea, the old sailors taught her how not to get seasick was to be distracted.
Focusing on other places will naturally weaken the impact of the environment, and it would be nice if this story could distract him.
What's more, Yan Zhuo was afraid that he would take the initiative to hand it over and make him misunderstand, so he thought of this method.
If he had listened to this story, he would have no more thoughts that he should not have.
Sure enough, Bai Yu's frowning eyebrows moved slightly, and then nodded slightly.
Yan Zhuo saw that he had reacted, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to tell the story.
"A long time ago, there was a girl who was born in a family of eunuchs, and her life was rich and worry-free and happy."
Bai Yu listened to her voice, and her consciousness broke free, she was telling her own story!
"But the good times didn't last long. When she was ten years old, her father was wrongfully convicted by a traitor, who confiscated her family and exterminated her. She lost everything overnight and was sent to prison. ”
"Her grandfather, aunt, and other family members are all dead." Yan Zhuo leaned against Bai Yu's side, let him hold his arm, and tilted his head to look at Yulin Peak on the other side of the riverbank.
Her grandpa and aunt were there.
She thought she would die too, but she and her younger brother were rescued from prison by her father's friend and escaped. She and her younger brother were taken home by the family, and they were both good to her, and there was a teenager who was especially good to her. ”
Yan Zhuo's voice was calm, as if he was really telling a story.
Bai Yu's hand holding her arm loosened.
When she was seventeen years old, she married the young man as she wished, thinking that she would be happy and happy until she was old. Unexpectedly, three months after getting married, the teenager left home to go to Jinling to take the exam, and he has not been heard from since.
"To make matters worse, she learned a secret after he left, and the family didn't want her, but her family heirloom."
Yan Zhuo sneered lightly, "She has no treasure, of course they are disappointed." While the boy was away, the family tore their faces, drove her and her younger brother to live in a dilapidated courtyard, sneered at her for eating rice, and drove her out to work for the family's shop. She was not afraid, she preferred to go out and do things, so for the next year, she kept being sent to pick up the caravans, which was the most dangerous and undesirable thing to do.
"She was caught in a storm while going to sea and disappeared for half a month, and when she came back, she found that the city had been robbed by pirates, and the family's house was burned down, leaving only the young girl's younger sister and her younger brother who had been kicked out of the house."
Bai Yu raised his head slightly, and saw that Yan Zhuo's side face was beside him, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he said the last sentence.
The smile is fleeting.
"She's so stupid, she still wants to find her husband, she doesn't believe that he is just trying to get her family's money. She took her younger siblings to Jinling and began to learn to do business on her own, while searching for the whereabouts of her husband. ”
It's been another eight years, and it's hard to put into words......
Yan Zhuo stopped.
Bai Yu let go of her arm and gently took her hand instead.
Yan Zhuo didn't notice it, and continued: "Fortunately, she met a lot of people who helped her, and she was finally able to support herself and her younger siblings, and finally, she gave up looking for that person, she thought, he must be dead, she was a widow for a long time......"
The waves were still whirling, and the bamboo raft was involuntarily lifted forward.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, her husband, who she thought was dead, suddenly reappeared. Still, huh. Yan Zhuo sneered, "She was deceived by him when she went to see him, only to know that he already had a new wife and a pair of children, what do you say such a person is still looking for his original wife?" ”
Bai Yu was silent, his eyes were cold.
"But he even brazenly asked her to stay by his side as a concubine?!" Yan Zhuo laughed and looked up, "She naturally doesn't want to!" But she didn't expect that someone would harm her on that occasion, and when she pushed him away to go out, she found out that she had been poisoned, and she fainted before she could even ask if it was he who poisoned her.
"Her soul was out of her body, but she couldn't leave her body, and she watched him carry her back to the house, and then take her brother and sister back, and then use her seal, her identity, to take over her original business." Yan Zhuo stopped talking, and the scattered stars in the sky flickered in front of her eyes, just like her predecessor, which she could see but couldn't reach.
"And then?" Bai Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Then, one day, she suddenly became a different person." After Yan Zhuo finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Bai Yu, pursed his lips and smiled, "So, you see, in fact, I am just an old widow in my seventies and eighties, and I can be your grandmother." This skin is just like the white bone spirit has painted a layer of skin for itself, and there is nothing to be greedy for. ”
Bai Yu's face was a little spicy, she had already seen through his thoughts?
Yan Zhuo twitched the hand he threw that he was holding, and asked with a smile, "Are you okay now?" ”
"It's not good." Bai Yu replied in a low voice.
Yan Zhuo saw him playing a scoundrel and sighed, "Are you so light on me, or are you like this to everyone?" ”
Bai Yu's hand was loosened, and everyone ...... Except for Yan Zhuo, he didn't try anyone else.
Yan Zhuo took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, and his palm was sweaty and sticky from his grip.
She glanced at him, "According to the rules of the Central Plains, the lady you met has to marry back, I'm afraid you have to marry a harem and bring it back, right?" ”
Bai Yu frowned, and said in a sullen voice: "I have never ...... others"
A "boom" sounded in the distance.
Yan Zhuo immediately stood up, "The waterfall is coming." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the penny.
"I'll do it." Seeing that she was struggling, Bai Yu stood up, took the penny, and pushed to the bottom of the water with a learned appearance: "Is that so?" ”
Yan Zhuo taught him on the side: "The distance between the two hands is a little more open, yes, the bamboo artemisia will be held up to the end and then quickly change hands." ”
Bai Yu quickly got started, allowing the bamboo raft to break through the resistance of the waves and lean towards the shore.
Yan Zhuo jumped ashore, put the bamboo raft knot on a thick bamboo, and Bai Yufang jumped ashore with a wind lantern.
The two of them came to the entrance of the cave and climbed over the big rock to the cave.
Yan Zhuo was familiar with the road and touched it inside, but fortunately, the wind and lights were not bright, and Bai Yu should not be able to detect the strangeness of the stones in this cave.
Sure enough, I didn't go far before a strange smell wafted through the air.
