Chapter 55: Robbery and Apprenticeship by Fire
On the night I returned from the ruined temple, I went to bed early under the service of Peach Heart.
But when I was half asleep and half awake, there was a faint wail in my ears?
What's going on? I'm sleeping, is it a delusion?
Then my gaze suddenly melted into a bright light, and it seemed as if something was about to cross my eyes...
It was easy to fix my eyes before I saw the goose feather snow drifting in front of me, and under me were countless snow-covered ruins, the gray and white blended together was particularly eye-catching.
Where am I? As this question popped into my mind, a familiar figure soon caught my eye... It's Yin Linxi!
At this time, I seemed to be a ray of sadness in this world, just looking at him like that, my figure moved in front of him.
It's just that Yin Linxi's slightly thin face didn't look at me at all, but instead stared at one place with a solemn expression.
I followed his gaze, and my face changed...
I saw a woman kneeling on the corner of the street not far away, holding the infant child in her right hand, her forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and her left hand curled up slightly and stretched forward, looking like she was begging.
And in this freezing snow, they only had a thin piece of material on them, and the child was already frozen in her arms...
Wait, I just felt like something was wrong, and when I looked closely, my heartstrings trembled.
Not only did the two mothers and children freeze silently, but their bodies were even covered with snow.
This is obviously a long time dead, but this mother still maintained a begging posture until the last moment of her life, presumably trying to fight for the last chance of survival for the child in her arms, although there is no extra grain of food in this mourning disaster area at this time, although it is tantamount to wishful thinking that she is doing so...
The snow fell silently on Yin Linxi's shoulders, and at this moment, a touch of desolation that had never existed before permeated his delicate facial features carved by his knife, and it never faded away for a long time.
My heart was also extremely heavy, but just as I was about to reach out and pat Yin Linxi's shoulder, I suddenly saw the eaves above his head pressing down on him...
"Yin Linxi!" I let out a loud cry and sat up.
It wasn't until the wound on his right shoulder was inadvertently pulled and it hurt that he realized that it was just a dream.
But what is puzzling is, why do you have such a dream? I raised my hand and touched Liangliang's back, only to know that I was sweating profusely.
And the peach heart outside the bead curtain was really startled by me, and hurriedly ran in and looked at me nervously and said, "What's the matter, princess?" Is the wound painful again? ”
I shook my head, looked out the window, which was already bright, and then looked at Mokoxin, whose face was full of worry.
"Taoxin, has there been any news from Jiangbei recently?"
"Message?" Tao thought for a moment, and then shook her head blankly, "When the princess asked the slave maid to return the queen's gift that day, she heard the news of His Royal Highness the Prince's disaster relief victory, but I haven't heard about Jiangbei since then!" ”
"Really?" My contracted heart was relieved.
Maybe for now, no news is the best news!
"Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in Jiangbei for nine days, shouldn't he come back after a while?"
Momoxin walked to the side of Yuxi, twisted a fine silk, carefully spread it out before coming over, and carefully wiped the sweat on my forehead.
I couldn't help but smile when I looked at her cautious appearance, "You really think that disaster relief is going to the mountains and rivers?" Not to mention nine days, even if it is the nineteenth, it is normal not to come back. ”
"Huh?" Taoxin wiped the hand on my forehead and looked at me with great sympathy, "Then princess, won't you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in nineteen days?" ”
I didn't answer her, but walked over to the dressing table and picked up the horn comb.
"By the way, Momshin, can you help me prepare the carriage?"
"Princess, are you going out again?"
"Hmm!" I nodded heavily.
It made Taoxin's cheeks flush and her eyes wide, "But, you were injured yesterday!" ”
"What a fuss! It's just some flesh wounds! I grinned and moved my right arm to indicate that I was fine.
It can be seen that Taoxin's face did not relax a little, so she had to wave her hand boringly, "Okay, don't cry with a sad face, it's a big deal that I'll take you with me today." ”
"But—" Momoshin was still a little apprehensive.
I couldn't help but glance at her, and added, "If you're not at ease, then bring a few more people?" ”
Saying this, Momoshin immediately smiled and nodded, turned around and went out to prepare the carriage.
I smiled helplessly, and began to wash and change clothes under the service of the other little maids, and when everything was ready, Peach Heart came and helped me into the carriage.
"Princess, where are we going?"
I smiled mysteriously and replied, "Apprentice! ”
"Huh?" Peach Heart was surprised, and a trace of regret immediately floated on her little face that was a little excited, and then muttered, "I thought I was going out to play." ”
"You girl." I gave her a soft kick.
You know, I don't want to learn martial arts because I'm not all interested in it, the prince's brother's revenge has not been avenged, and it is always a mountain that can't be sunk in my heart.
In fact, what the man in black said that day was very right, with my current three-legged cat kung fu, it is even more difficult to kill Alhatu than to ascend to the sky.
When the carriage swayed on the road, we lifted the curtain and glanced at the carriage followed by the mighty guards.
couldn't help but speak, "I asked you to bring a few more people, but did you simply bring the entire Prince's Mansion with you?" ”
Mommy turned red for some reason, "Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said..."
She almost blurted out something, but the girl quickly covered her lips when she realized that she had almost said something she shouldn't have said.
I saw that her eyes were rolling very quickly and suspiciously, so I gazed at her.
Unexpectedly, until she turned red, this Nizi still covered her mouth and remained silent.
provoked me to sneer, and said with a plan, "Okay, Taoxin, when did you become Yin Linxi's person, I don't even know?" ”
After saying this, Taoxin's face really showed a trace of embarrassment, "Princess, it's not that the slave maid won't tell you, it's really His Royal Highness the Prince's thousand instructions, saying that this is for the sake of the harmony of the husband and wife in the prince's mansion and the happiness of the family, so that the slave and maid must keep it secret!" ”
"Huh?" Harmony between husband and wife? Happy family? What kind of harmony, what kind of happiness law?
I watched as Momoshin covered her mouth vigilantly, wondering why she suddenly lost interest in what she was keeping secret.
Then, the carriage staggered for about half an hour, and finally stopped in front of the ruined temple yesterday.
"Princess, what are we doing here?" Taoxin cautiously followed behind me, glanced at the ruined temple, and reached out to tug at the corner of my clothes.
I glanced back at her, then slapped her hand away, "You remember, no matter what you call me when you go in, you are not allowed to call me princess!" ”
"What about the crown princess?"
Taoxin looked at me very cutely, causing the corners of my eyebrows to jump slightly, and spit out a sentence from between his teeth, "Naturally, it can't be!" ”
With that, I strode into the courtyard that had fallen yesterday, and howled by the way, "Are you there, old-timer?" Predecessor! ”
But the response to me is still the same as yesterday, if the old woman cries "whining" the wind.
Momoxin looked at me and thought I was crazy, so she hurriedly came over and grabbed my arm, and said tremblingly, "Male... Miss Gong, I'm afraid this place is haunted, right? Let's go back! ”
"What Miss?" I looked at her amusedly, "You can just call me Miss!" ”
"Okay, male... Oh no, miss! "Peach Heart looks like a frightened bird.
I couldn't help but hold my forehead with a broken heart, I'm afraid that this Nizi's guts are really hopeless.
Then I broke free of the hands that held me tightly, walked in the direction of yesterday's Buddha Hall, and began to let out a series of deadly sounds, "Senior! Old-timer? Are you absent? Old-timers..."
I don't know if it was repeated to shout a few times, and there was an angry voice from the Buddhist hall, "What kind of thing that doesn't have long eyes disturbs Lao Tzu's tranquility!" ”
As this voice fell, the broken door that blocked the way yesterday was suddenly shocked by the internal force and flew far away, and a white figure floated out leisurely.
"Ahh There are ghosts! ”
It's just that the peach heart of the old man who saw the old man for the first time was so frightened that he sat on the ground, tremblingly pointed at the old man who was gradually approaching me, and stumbled, "Male... Miss Gong, run! Ghost... There are ghosts! ”
"No manners!" The old man snorted loudly, raised his hand to pry away the white head that was blocking his eyes, and stared at Taoxin tightly with a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes, "You little girl, which one looks at the old decay like a ghost in front of you!" ”
The old man approached unhappily, and was so frightened that Taoxin's little face became whiter and whiter.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stood between the two of them, and sneered at the old man, "Senior, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about being like a little girl!" ”
The old man's gaze fell on me, and he looked at me for a long time before he said angrily, "Who are you?" ”
My standing figure almost stumbled with his words.
But for the purpose of this trip, I had to smile patiently, "Senior, I... You don't remember? We saw it yesterday! ”
"Who?" The old man still looked dazed.
It surprised me a little, I only saw it yesterday, why did this old man forget me so quickly? I don't have such a common face that it's easy to forget, right?
Is he pretending to be like this?
I raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man carefully.
If that's the case, hehe...
I might as well test the temptation first, and if it's true, I might as well take it as it is!
So I quickly pinched a touch of "heartache" on my face and said, "Master, how can you not remember the apprentice? ”
"In vain?" A hint of suspicion drifted across the old man's face, "Are you my apprentice?" ”
"yes!"
The old man still looked suspicious, but he didn't refute it, and even if I confirmed in my heart, he was afraid that he really had a bad memory.
So in his heart, he was secretly glad that he had picked up a big bargain, and he pretended to be very sad on his face and said, "Master, if you forget your apprentice, then you won't even forget who you are!" ”
"How so!" The old man coughed dryly, then furrowed his eyebrows and began to wonder who he was.
After thinking about it for a while, I guess I didn't think about it, so I just glared at me angrily, "Who do you care who I am!" ”
provoked me to "mourn" again, "Master, you haven't taught your apprentice a trick and a half, how can you lose your memory?" ”
"Are you really my apprentice?"
"yes!" Anyway, I just cried.
The old man didn't care, but shouted behind him, "Xiu'er! ”
Xiu'er? I looked at the old man with some hesitation, forgetting for a moment that I was still pretending to cry.
I just thought to myself, could it be that there are other people here?
As a result, in the shouts of the old man, this "Xiu'er" really walked out of the Buddha hall without hurrying.
I took the opportunity to take a look...
Good guy, isn't this Xiu'er the sick cat and beautiful man of Xiaoxiang Pavilion? Why is he here?
