Chapter 56
This time, Ah Yan, following the trajectory of the previous life, returned to the Guogong Mansion. But compared to the panic of the previous life, this time she felt like a mirror in her heart. I know that my mother and brother will not be hurt by this turmoil, and they will not suffer too much. As for herself, as long as she stays quietly in the Guogong Mansion now, no one will come to harass her, and there will be a sound of murder outside, which will not hinder her for the time being.
Without the nervous and panicked mood of the year, she was very calm. At this time, there were many maids, servants, servants, and others, and they all knew that there was going to be a mess in the city, and the wives, girls, and young masters all ran away, and they also went to the countryside with big bags and small bags to take refuge.
Ah Yan hid in a corner first, and when everyone was almost gone, he walked into the courtyard of the old ancestor.
I saw that the parrots that were originally hanging in the corridor and the flowers and plants that were placed there were now all lying there, in a mess, and a parrot looked at Ah Yan pitifully.
Ah Yan smiled and walked over, she looked at the parrot, and remembered the old ancestor, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was very similar to the old ancestor.
So she suddenly lost her pity, pointed her finger at the parrot, and snorted: "Don't think that I will sympathize with you, when I die, no one will sympathize with me." If you were a person, it would be fine, but you are just a bird, or the bird of the ancestors, and they all want me to die!"
After showing off her might to this parrot, she entered the ancestral house again. Because I was in a hurry to clean up when I left, the room was in a mess, the pillows on the couch were crooked, and the floor was even more scattered, and there were broken vases.
Ah Yan vaguely remembered that the vase was a blue and white vase of glazed colored entwined lotus flowers, and the ancestor also specially told the girls around him that this vase was still her dowry back then, and it was worth a lot of money.
Now this valuable thing is shattered to the ground.
Ah Yan looked at the messy house, sneered, turned around and left, and silently went back to the courtyard of the third room.
In her last life, she was a delicate young lady, and she really ate hibiscus cakes for several days, and finally the thing was frozen into stone, and she continued to gnaw on it.
Now she first collected the food in each room and gathered it in the stove room of her third room, and then divided it into categories to see what could be stored for a long time, and which ones had to be eaten quickly. At the same time, she also tried to make her own fire so that she could boil hot water for herself.
After a busy day, although her face was covered in black ash, she finally managed to boil a pot of hot water.
Looking at all this with satisfaction, Ah Yan thought to herself that she would just need to lie comfortably in her room and wait for the Nine Emperor Princes to come over.
After Ah Yan did this, she was actually a little tired, she lay lazily on the comfortable bed, thinking in a daze, why did the Nine Emperor Princes appear in the Jingguo Mansion in the last life, and he asked people to search everywhere.
Who is he looking for?
Thinking about this, Ah Yan's head became heavier and heavier, and finally fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but she was awakened by the sound of footsteps. She jerked over and sat up, listening sympathetically, but felt that the footsteps were not as chaotic and numerous as in the previous life, but just one person.
Ah Yan twisted her eyebrows, she began to feel that something was wrong, and immediately grabbed a pair of scissors that she used for embroidery, and then stabbed under the bed.
After a long while, the footsteps came into the house, and the footsteps landed clearly on the bluestone slabs, one high and one low.
Ah Yan lay on the ground and looked carefully at the man's feet, but saw that the feet were wearing a brown boot and a stone blue rat gray robe.
Ah Yan frowned, helplessly pinching the embroidery scissors in her hand, she deeply understood at this time that something must be wrong.
So now he was able to break the trajectory of the previous life and touch it all the way to her room, and it seemed that he should be able to confirm that this was his room without hesitation.
Who is this person and who can he be?
A sneer flashed as Yan stared at the man's brown boots.
This person can't be someone else, it can only be her husband Shen Congjia in her previous life.
Because once, she had told her husband in detail about the most thrilling and tragic things she had ever experienced as a delicate daughter.
Ayan bit her lip, carefully pinned the embroidery scissors to her waist, and hid them with the hem of her skirt. She took a deep breath and slowly crawled out from under the bed.
She lay there, trembling slightly, looking carefully at the man standing in front of her bed.
Shen Congjia is not as tall as the Nine Emperors or his brother Gu Song, but he is better than his elegant body and clear face, and he can be regarded as a good man.
Ah Yan looked up at the person who had given him so many oaths in his previous life and how much hurt he had done.
She tried hard to remind herself, and in the end, she was alone in the yard, without even a maid by her side, and she was terminally ill, struggling to get up, stretching out her thin hand like a chicken claw to reach a pot of cold tea on the table that had been sitting for a few days. Later, she reached the cold tea, but her hands kept shaking, and the teapot shattered on the ground.
She was so thirsty that she knelt there, holding the remnants of cold tea in her mouth from the broken tiles.
Then there was a burst of coldness in my heart, my eyes began to heat up, and tears flowed down.
Shen Congjia stood quietly in this room, staring at the little thing that crawled out from under the bed.
As in the previous life, she had the same appearance as in the previous life, and although she was lying on the ground in embarrassment at this time, she still did not lose any of her color.
She turned her face up, and her black and white clear eyes carried unconcealed panic and grievance.
Tears slowly welled up from the bottom of her eyes, quickly moistened them, and then fell down her cheeks.
Shen Congjia frowned, squatted down at the moment, and softened his voice as much as possible: "You, are you okay?"
Ah Yan bit her lip and let the tears fall down, she was aggrieved and frightened: "You, who are you, why are you here?"
Shen Congjia became more and more distressed, and almost impulsively reached out to help Ah Yan up, but when he saw Ah Yan shrink when he stretched out his hand, he hurriedly withdrew it.
Clenching his fists, he tried to restrain himself: "You are the third girl in the Jingguo Mansion, right? I passed by outside the city and met the people in your mansion, and I heard that you did not get into the carriage and were stranded here, so I came to find the girl." ”
Ah Yan pursed his lips and said more and more aggrievedly: "Where are you going to take me? Who are you, should you be a bad person?"
Shen Congjia lowered his head and stared at Ah Yan's tearful and aggrieved little appearance, watching her thin white teeth biting her ruddy little lips nervously, his eyes were filled with deep pity, and he softened his voice more and more, and said distressedly: "Ah Yan, don't be afraid, I won't harm you, I'm here to save you, you have to believe me." ”
Ah Yan lowered his head, crying, and thought in his heart, I believe that you have ghosts!
Since you have the memory of the previous life, you should know that my Jingguo Mansion and my Ayan are all attached to the Four Princes and the Nine Emperors.
If they are really unfortunate to lose in the battle for succession, then I don't know what a miserable situation I have fallen into!
You are pretending to be so affectionate now, but you are secretly colluding with the third prince, in fact, you are looking forward to me falling into an unbearable situation, and then condescending to show favor to me, right?
Thinking of this, she became more and more disgusted with the person in front of her. This person has always been very scheming, and in his previous life, he remembered all the words he had on his pillow, how he dealt with others! Now I am afraid that these methods have been applied to himself!
It's just that I hate the Nine Emperors, since I already know that this person is colluding with the Third Prince, why didn't I end him up early, but let him dangle in front of him again, I really feel disgusted just by looking at it!
She squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Congjia carefully, barely got up, and said in a low voice, "You, who are you?"
Shen Congjia saw that she didn't seem to be afraid of herself anymore, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "My surname is Shen, my father is Lord Shen, the doctor of the sixth grade, and the girl should know." ”
Ah Yan thought for a while, frowned and nodded: "Yes, I know." ”
Thinking that he almost became husband and wife again with this person with the memories of his previous life, Ah Yan almost wanted to vomit blood.
She frowned more and more, and looked at Shen Congjia carefully: "Aren't you already lame, why are you okay now?"
Lame person?
Shen Congjia's face changed suddenly, his feet moved unconsciously, and then he said with difficulty: "My legs and feet are not very good now, but I can still walk." ”
Ah Yan nodded casually: "So that's the case." ”
Shen Congjia looked at Ah Yan carefully: "Originally, the girl and I had already started to discuss marriage, but I never thought that I was suddenly killed by a gangster, and after such a incident, the girl's house will never mention this matter again." ”
Ah Yan pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Son, Ah Yan's marriage is naturally in accordance with the orders of his parents, but he doesn't dare to make his own decisions." Whether to marry the son or not is naturally decided by the ancestor and the wife. ”
Shen Congjia saw her like this, but she remembered all kinds of past events, so she had a soft face: "Ah Yan, don't be sad, I don't blame you." But now that I have seen you, I always have to ask, if my legs and feet will never be better in this life, will you be willing to marry me?"
Ah Yan lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What if I am willing to marry you, what if I am not willing to marry you?"
Shen Congjia stared at Ah Yan: "If you are willing to marry me, I will naturally regard you as a treasure in this life." If you don't want to marry me, I-"
Shen Congjia frowned and didn't say any more.
Ah Yan pursed his lips and said with a little uneasiness: "If I am willing to marry you, you will save me from this chaos." If I don't want to marry you, you don't care about me, do you?"
This was said very directly, and when Shen Congjia heard Ah Yan say this, it really hit his mind, and it was also slightly flustered.
He was silent for a long time, and finally frowned: "Ah Yan, I don't care if you are the same as me, whether you are true or false now, I hope you can marry me." This time I will really be good to you, and I will definitely not be wronged by you. But if you really don't want to marry me, then I, Shen Congjia, will definitely not want to leave you to others!"
When Ah Yan heard this, his heart became more and more cold, knowing that if he didn't obey him, he was afraid that he would really use some means to harm himself. At that moment, she turned her face away and whispered, "I ......"
Her voice was too low for Shen Congjia to hear clearly, so Shen Congjia frowned: "What did you say?"
Ah Yan glanced at Shen Congjia shyly and timidly, and said in a low voice: "I ......"
Shen Congjia still didn't hear clearly, he was a little impatient, so he stepped forward: "Ah Yan, what did you say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Yan's body suddenly fell so softly, and he fell to Shen Congjia.
Shen Congjia was taken aback, and hurriedly went to support Ah Yan, and when he held it, he hugged him with a full embrace.
Ah Yan sneered in his heart, quietly pulled out the embroidery scissors, and stabbed Shen Congjia's throat fiercely while Shen Congjia was not paying attention.
You unkind thing, I was so bad in my last life, why can you watch me die miserably, and you don't even dare to invite a doctor!
Now they're coming up to me and threatening me that if I don't want to marry you, what will you do to me?!
Shen Congjia thought about it a lot, and he never thought that Ah Yan, who didn't even dare to kill chickens, could have such a scheming at this time, he was caught off guard and wanted to hide, but he couldn't hide at all, so he could only wave the scissors to open Ah Yan, so in this chaos, the scissors stabbed Shen Congjia in the cheek so straight!
The embroidery scissors were originally not a powerful thing, but they stabbed into Shen Congjia's flesh, and when they entered half an inch, they couldn't be pierced anymore.
But at this time, Ah Yan's temperament came up, she gritted her teeth, tried her best to eat, desperately pulled out the scissors, and stabbed Shen Congjia's eyes again, and shouted through gritted teeth: "Shen Congjia, you dare to come and threaten me! You ruthless and unrighteous thing! You despicable villain! You sinister and cunning bastard!"
At this time, she burst out with anger that she had never felt in two lifetimes combined, and she suddenly hated the person in front of her, and she wanted to kill him like this!
Shen Congjia was also stunned, the sharp pain on his face, he covered his bleeding face in shock, and looked at Ah Yan in disbelief: "You, you are really the same as me!"
Ah Yan held the scissors and sneered: "Shen Congjia, before I died, you didn't dare to see me, but now you dare to come to me!"
Shen Congjia glared and asked, "I know you have a grudge against me in your heart, but I was looking for you that day, why didn't you see me?"
Ah Yan raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "You go and ask Lord Yama!" As she said that, her scissors were going to continue to stab.
Although Shen Congjia is a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, but in the end he is a man, seeing this scene, he is not polite, and he is going to snatch the scissors in Ah Yan's hand immediately.
Where can Ah Yan let him take it away, so he desperately held the scissors, but Shen Congjia was so strong, seeing that the scissors were about to be taken away, Ah Yan's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, relying on his flexible legs and feet, raised his foot, and kicked Shen Congjia's crotch hard.
Shen Congjia really hit the trick, he covered his crotch with a pale face, and gritted his teeth and said: "Gu Yan, I know that you have climbed a high branch in this life, and you don't want to follow me anymore, but you don't have to be so ruthless!"
Ah Yan didn't speak, silently raised his hand to pick up a teapot on the side, and smashed it at Shen Congjia.
After smashing, she turned around and ran, saying as she ran: "You are a cripple now, lame, you can only be a cripple for the rest of your life, and you still want to marry me, it's really wishful thinking!"
She knew that Shen Congjia was so agitated by her own words, and she would inevitably run over with her.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Shen Congjia covered his crotch in pain, limped after him, and said fiercely: "Gu Yan, you are too much!"
Ah Yan turned around as he ran, thinking in his heart that he was a cripple now, and he might not be able to outrun himself, so he had to hurry up and find a kitchen knife that was more suitable for cutting people.
So she turned and ran to the stove room, and saw a kitchen knife there, and she picked it up.
At this time, Shen Congjia had already chased this side, his face was covered with blood, and he was limping, he really looked so weird and weird, like a ghost.
Ah Yan's anger subsided a lot at this time, and she was shocked when she saw it, and she was really a little scared, but seeing that he was rushing over with a fierce look now, she knew that he would not let go of her easily, so she had to clench her teeth, and her blood was surging upward, she tried all her strength, brandished a kitchen knife and rushed over, and her mouth made a hateful sound.
At this moment, either he dies or he falls!
She roared and rushed forward, but at such a life-and-death juncture, an incredible thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
The way I look now must be like a crazy woman, and I must not let outsiders see it.
In fact, she is now in a dark madness and confusion, but in this madness and confusion, she is still calmly thinking about such an inconsequential question.
While thinking about this question, she rushed over with a kitchen knife brandish, roared, and slashed head-on!
Shen Congjia rebuked hatefully: "Ah Yan, you're crazy, you're crazy!"
Ah Yan only felt that the voice was beyond the clouds, blurred and distant, and there was only one thought in her mind, she must kill him, and only by killing him could she hide the secret of her rebirth. Only by killing him can he live!
With this thought in her head, she no longer cared about anything else, everything around her seemed to be dark, and she frantically repeated a thought, kill him, kill him, the kitchen knife in her hand was swinging stiffly, waving, shouting, fighting......
In this world, the only colors left are red and black.
Red is blood, and black is everything but blood.
She couldn't hear anything, only a buzzing hiss, hovering in her ears as if it never stopped.
I don't know how long it took, the surroundings seemed to be quiet, she woke up from her darkness sluggishly, but suddenly heard a warm voice calling: "Ah Yan, don't be afraid, Ah Yan, wake up!"
Her body was shaken, and her name was shouted worriedly.
Ah Yan opened his eyes from the darkness, and it was his cousin Armand who met his eyelids.
When Armand saw her wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said worriedly: "Ah Yan, are you okay?"
Ah Yan shook his head and frowned, "What about Shen Congjia?"
Seeing that she seemed to be quite conscious, Armang hurriedly said, "Shen Congjia, do you mean the son of the Shen family? When I came in just now, I saw him running out of the front of the mansion with his face covered in blood. ”
Armand looked at Ah Yan suspiciously: "What happened?"
Ah Yan came to his senses at this time, recalling the previous incident, he must have slashed Shen Congjia by himself and scared him away, but he was also so tired that he fainted here.
She sighed, she didn't even kill Shen Congjia, but just scared her away?
She raised her eyes and looked at her cousin, and suddenly became angry with the Nine Emperor Princes in her heart.
Why didn't you come, why didn't you come, and what you shouldn't have come!
Seeing that Ah Yan's cousin suddenly puffed up, Ah Mang suddenly became a little dazed: "Ah Yan, are you okay?" When he said this, he didn't care about men and women, so he touched Ah Yan's forehead, which was cool, not like a fever.
Ah Yan glanced at his cousin, struggled to get up, and asked his cousin seriously, "Why did you suddenly come here?"
Seeing that she finally looked a little normal, Ah Mang hurriedly said, "I got the news that you have been leaked in the mansion, and Ah Song must settle his aunt before he can come back to the city to help the Nine Emperor Princes." He was worried about you, so he asked me to try to find you first. ”
Ah Yan looked at his cousin and looked at it, although he hadn't practiced any martial arts, but he had been going south and north for all these years, and his body was very strong, if he met Shen Congjia again, it should be no problem to deal with it, right?
At that moment, she felt much more relieved, shook her spirits, and said calmly: "I'm fine, but I'm a little hungry, you can help me go to the hot spot to eat." Saying this, Ayan felt that his face was wet, so he calmly wiped his face.
Armand didn't reply, but looked at Ah Yan with a surprised gaze.
Ah Yan blinked, looked at her cousin, felt the incredulity in his eyes, and thought to herself that something was wrong? She believed that her cousin, who traveled from south to north, would inevitably eat and sleep in the open, so it should be no problem to get some food, right? At least he was much better than her own pampered lady, right?
Armand coughed lightly, he knew that Ah Yan had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you sit here, rest first, and I'll go find you something to eat right away." ”
After saying this, he stared at Ah Yan's face, and finally couldn't help but say, "Do you want to wash your face first?"
Ah Yan twisted her eyebrows, at this time she also felt that something was wrong, and looked down at the hand that had just wiped her face, only to see that her hands were wet red.
Maybe it was so crazy just now that her senses were completely blocked, but when she saw the red at first glance, she realized that it should be blood, and when she realized that it was blood, all her sleeping senses seemed to be awakened, so she smelled a strong smell of blood.
Ah Yan looked at the blood in his hand and sighed: "This is Shen Congjia's blood." ”
She reacted suddenly, covered her face, and said a little shyly: "I look too ugly, no, I have to go and wash my face quickly." ”
With that, she ran away.
Cousin Armand stared blankly at this cousin who ran away with blood on his face, and the whole person froze there, unable to say a word.
