Chapter 1 Am I still myself when I wake up?
Who am I?
This question has been confusing me.
Whether I'm Rong'er or Huan'er, I sometimes can't tell the difference, I can't figure it out.
In their eyes, I am Gao Zhaoyang and Concubine Rong, but in his eyes, I am Yi Huan, the feared thousand-fingered female demon, and the heir with mysterious powers.
Who my feelings belong to has always puzzled me.
And it all started with the cliff fall that year.
It was that year that completely changed all, all my thoughts.
She was taking possession of me, not only of my body but also of my soul, and that I was completely her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started that year. It was June of the eighth year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and I was on my way back to Pingcheng from the old house in Longcheng.
Because my mother was not in good health, I rushed back to Kyoto to visit, but I was robbed on the way and fell into the abyss.
I remember myself falling, my body fluttering like a leaf, the sound of manic water in my ears, my long clothes all soaking wet and wrapped around my body, very uncomfortable.
There is a very smooth stone underneath the body, and the stone wall that has been hit by water all the year round is extremely smooth.
I reached out and fumbled wildly, trying to grab something, but the stone walls were so smooth that there was nothing to grasp.
I kept falling, feeling like I was going to die, I couldn't see clearly, I was blinded by the splash.
The water splashed and I fell heavily into it.
I fell into a deep pool.
Out of the instinct of life, the moment I fell, my hands frantically tried to climb the rock wall, but after all, I couldn't withstand the impact of the current.
My hands were bleeding from scratches, and blood was pouring down in the blistering current.
Sinking to the bottom, I felt like I was going to die, and I paddled desperately to the surface.
My consciousness began to get confused,
The cries of the bandits who had just chased after me faded in my mind: "Please don't blame us, it's our mission to kill you."
I surfaced, breathing heavily, still wondering who was going to kill me, who it was!
Who have I offended?
I'm floating on the water, I'm confused, do I feel like I'm going to die?
But is this my life?
I was only sixteen years old, so young, was I really going to die?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I opened my eyes, I was in a bush of flowers and trees. As far as the eye can see, there are towering trees all around, and you can't see the sky clearly. The woods were silent, with the occasional birdsong.
What a strange place! I don't know where this is?
I don't know how many times I woke up, but after waking up from the shore of the lake, I kept walking, and I kept walking, and I didn't see a single figure except for my breathing.
Panic, fear, I don't know what to do?
I touched my whole body and there were no wounds, except for a little pain in my head, just a little scratch on my palm.
I tore my shirt apart, tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped my palms around it, and continued walking towards the woods with all my strength.
Confused, helpless......
The sun is so big that it makes people dizzy.
I don't know how long I've fainted or how many times I've fainted.
I don't know how I got here?
I was already hallucinating in front of my eyes and seeing a table full of food.
I don't know who I am? Where did you come from, where did you go?
I remember as if there were a lot of people chasing me, and as soon as my foot slipped, I fell off a cliff.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and looking at the shadows of the trees at this time, it should be just after noon. I pinched my forehead with my hand to keep myself awake.
I told myself that if I got out of the woods at once, if I couldn't get out again, I would die, I would die, but I didn't want to die yet.
But I was too weak to walk.
I held on to my breath, and even if I climbed, I had to climb out
I tried to call, but I was too weak to cry out.
The forest is so big that there is still no end in sight.
Dragging my heavy body, I walked north with difficulty, step by step.
The things in front of me were so confused that I couldn't tell them apart.
I hadn't eaten food in my stomach for a long time, and I really tried my best to put my last strench.
It's so tiring.
Just let me die.
It's just who the hell am I?
I was very unwilling, I had a terrible headache, I wonder if I hit the rock wall when I fell off the cliff?
The moment I passed out, I felt a figure appear in front of me, a tall figure, calling out to me, "What's wrong with you?" ”
But I couldn't see him clearly.
In the drowsiness, I wanted to open my eyes but couldn't, I felt the softness and comfort under me, and I wanted to lie quietly like this.
There was a faint whisper in my ears, a woman's voice, and a man's deep voice, fluttering and unreal.
"What's wrong with her?"
"She hasn't woken up yet, but the master is relieved that she can't die."
In my daze, I fainted again, and I couldn't hear any words.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was not in the woods, but on a soft bed, and the sun was shining through the window.
Where is this?
Am I dead?
Still is......
Am I saved?
I jerked myself up from the bed.
The veil was gently fluttering in front of my eyes by the wind blowing in through the window. Shake and shake, fluttering.
I got up and got out of bed and put on my shoes.
Seeing that I had changed into a dress, my white dress was a little tattered when it was in the woods, and this Luo skirt was not mine......
As soon as I took two steps, my head hurt violently, and I held my head with both hands and endured it.
But after a while, my head eased and I didn't feel any pain.
I walked up again, and saw that the room was very large, and there was no one.
In the middle of the room, there is a large case of Huali, on which is placed the Shifang treasure inkstone, and there is also a written calligraphy and painting on the desk.
The east wall is covered with calligraphy and paintings, all of which are landscape paintings, and the scenery of each painting is beautiful.
There are relatively tall bookshelves placed on the west wall, and the whole room makes this bookshelf particularly conspicuous, and the bookshelves are full of books.
The owner of this house seems to be an elegant bachelor.
I'm not very interested in that, I just want to know where I am.
In a vase at the door, there is a fragrant fuchsia flower blue. I glanced silently and pushed the door open.
When I walked out of the house, there was a large courtyard in front of me, and I was only in a wing.
Directly in front of this wing room is the garden in the courtyard, and the fragrance of various flowers wafts from this time.
"Anyone?"
I called.
This courtyard is really too quiet, a little quiet.
I don't believe that such a large courtyard would not be without people.
As I was walking around, a clear voice came from behind me, "Girl, you're awake." ”
I was overjoyed to hear someone talking.
He is not dead, he should be a living person.
I turned around excitedly to see a woman in an emerald blue shirt looking at me with a smile.
She was talking to me.
This woman has a gorgeous face and a pair of phoenix eyes, but I don't know her at all, and I look at her in a daze.
"It's good that the girl is awake, but you've slept for three days and three nights."
The woman approached me, looked me up and down, and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Where is this?" I looked at her with a look of suspicion on my face.
She smiled and whispered back to me, "Dream Immortal Residence." ”
Just as the woman replied to me, a "green smoke" floated over.
The sound is magnetic and very pleasant.
The woman hurriedly turned to the person who came and saluted, "Childe." ”
I looked over and saw two handsome men approaching.
The man in front of me walked lightly, his eyes fixed on me.
He held a sword in his hand, and when he came to Qingyan, Qingyan took the sword in his hand, very respectfully.
The man has majestic and heroic hair, a jade tree facing the wind, wearing a purple brocade robe, a bundle of hair tied up with a purple jade crown, and the rest are scattered at random behind his head and scattered in the wind.
However, I can see that the luxurious accessories on his body should not be an ordinary person.
He was looking at me like a wave, and walked directly in front of me, his eyes were shining, and he seemed to be a little relieved, "It's good that the girl is awake, is your hand still painful?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little bit of injury, thank you for saving my life."
I rejoiced that I had escaped death and bowed respectfully to her.
This is my sincere gratitude to him.
Childe hurriedly helped me up, staring at me with clear eyes.
It was like looking at me, and it was like wondering who I was.
In the observation corridor in the courtyard, after we sat down, the Qingyan girl poured tea for me and the man, and then stood behind him with another man.
All three looked at me.
He asked me, "Who is the girl and what is her name?" ”
Who am I?
I lowered my eyes and tried to remember, but I couldn't remember.
I don't know who I really am?
I couldn't remember anything, I looked down and smiled sadly, "I'm sorry, I don't remember who I am?" ”
Hearing me say this, Childe's face trembled slightly, and he was very sympathetic and pityful.
He also looked at me with disbelief in his eyes.
"And what do you remember?"
Childe asked me softly.
What to remember?
I thought hard.
"All I remember is that I felt like I had fallen into the water, and when I woke up, I was by the river. I don't know where I am or why I'm there. Then he walked blindly, and his wet clothes were also dried by the sun. After walking in the woods for a long time, I didn't go out. I fainted on the way, I woke up, and then I continued walking, and after fainting again, I woke up and saw you. ”
I remember what I can remember.
The three of them looked at each other.
They looked at me suspiciously.
The boy asked again, "Don't you remember anything else?" ”
I nodded silently.
"And you don't remember who brought you here?"
I couldn't understand the meaning of his words, could it be that he didn't rescue me from the misty forest?
But who would it be if it wasn't him?
Maybe I'm thinking too much.
I nodded again and said softly, "Didn't Childe save me?" ”
The boy was stunned for a moment and smiled lightly, "Yes, yes, it was Ben Gongzi who saved you, but you don't remember?" ”
His smile was soft.
I was stunned.
When I was stunned, he asked, "Don't you even remember your name and where you live?" ”
I nodded again in silence.
I don't remember anything, my mind goes blank.
He didn't ask any more.
Then he stood up and looked into the distance,
"Then I'll give you a name! How about calling a white peach? He turned to look at me
"When she saw the girl, she fainted under the white peach tree......"
My head was still confused, and I vaguely accepted the name he had given me.
I silently read the name he gave me.
"The white peach is very good, thank you for the name." I pursed my lips and smiled happily.
Seeing my smile, he smiled gently.
He seemed to be happy to see that I was satisfied.
Am I called White Peach?
It's just who the hell am I? Where is my family? Why am I in this vast forest?
All I remember was that I fell off the cliff, and nothing else was there.
"Who is Childe?"
I asked them.
The man kept staring at me and spit out two words 'Ji Yu' from his mouth.
I smiled and nodded to him, "Ji Gongzi." ”
Subsequently, he introduced Rin and Qingyan.
I can see that Qingyan and Rin should be his subordinates.
After just getting to know each other, he asked Qingyan to take me back to my room.
On this day, I rested early, Qingyan said that my body was still too weak, and I had to rest, and I went to bed after taking the medicine she brought me.
But before I fell asleep, I was in a trance for a long time, and I couldn't just remember nothing......
If I were an orphan, I should have known about my past life.
If I hadn't been an orphan, my family would have been anxious right now.
But......
My head hurts.
~~~~~~~~~
Ji Yu wiped his sword in the room, Xie Rin stood aside and asked softly, "Master, who is this girl?" ”
"I don't know." Ji Yu said indifferently.
"But when the emperor sent it, he didn't say anything, just let the master take care of it, so what will be the identity of this girl?" Xie Rin touched his chin, unable to figure it out.
"Looking at what this girl is wearing, she doesn't look like a common person." After Qingyan poured Ji Yu a cup of tea, he interjected.
Ji Yu stood up, looked at the two of them, and said, "No matter who she is, she will take care of her." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got up on the second day, I saw several more men in the same blue clothes coming to the courtyard.
Each of them wears knives, like the guards of this Ji Yu Gongzi.
But none of them came to disturb me, and when they saw me strolling through the courtyard, they stood in the corners of the courtyard as if they hadn't seen me.
From the day I woke up, I could see where I was. This is a mountainside, surrounded by mountains, the sky is connected with the blue forest, and it is impossible to see any people in the distance.
The courtyard was alone and desolate on the hillside.
However, the scenery here is very beautiful, the mountain flowers are everywhere, in addition to the high heavenly forest, there are some pear trees, and there is a stream flowing on the edge of the pear orchard, and the water of this stream is the waterfall pool water that flows down from the peak not far away.
In front of the gate of the courtyard, I could see the waterfall, but it seemed to be far away, and I couldn't hear the sound of the waterfall, only the whiteness.
I felt like I was falling down that waterfall.
There was a fog in the distance, and it was very mysterious.
I just don't know what will be above the waterfall?
But in this beautiful mountain and forest land, there is only this courtyard, but it has a nice name ~ Mengxian Residence.
At this time, I was in a dream, and I felt that everything was not real.
My head hurt a few more times, and I often had a lot of blurry images in my head, and I couldn't see what it was.
In my sleep, I saw that in the blurred scene, many sharp arrows flew towards me, and the sharp arrows pierced me in the chest, and I died on the spot.
I woke up sweating with fear.
I don't understand why I had such a terrible dream, could it be that I was once shot by an arrow?
After meeting Ji Gongzi that day, I hadn't seen him for several days. In this mountain courtyard, Qingyan was the only one who accompanied me, and even the guards guarding the courtyard didn't see anyone.
I asked Qingyan, who was serving me, "Where has Childe gone?" ”
She just smiled and replied to me, "I'm out of the mountain, and I don't know where I'm going." ”
I don't feel like Qingyan doesn't know, but he doesn't want to explain it to me. In their eyes, I was a stranger.
At the edge of the stream in the pear orchard, I washed my clothes, and the green smoke on the side hurriedly took my clothes away from my hands.
"Miss Bai, I'll wash it, if our son-in-law knows, he will blame me for not taking good care of the girl."
Qingyan is very respectful and modest, and I like her very much in the past few days.
I smiled happily and said to her, "It's okay, I'll do this little thing myself."
"But the girl's body is just ......."
"It's okay, I'm too idle."
Seeing that I was very stubborn, Qingyan didn't hold a slur, pursed his lips and smiled, "Then I'll help you with it." ”
"Okay." I nodded and smiled.
But when I looked up, I saw the waterfall floating down from the top of the distant mountain, the water was so white that it kept attracting my attention.
I looked at the waterfall from afar and wanted to go up to the top of the waterfall to see it.
Maybe it's where I fell.
It's just that the mountain is so high, very steep.
I always felt like I had been there before, and I didn't know what to expect.
