Chapter 39: The Past

Xia Qian opened her eyes and found herself lying on the ground, her eyes fell on the fat cat-like tiger, and she unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

What's wrong with me?

Did you have such a strange dream?

She pinched her wrist and quickly straightened up.

At noon, her legs began to go numb without a drop of water.

Gradually, her head grew heavier and heavier, while her body became lighter, as if a leaf could fall and knock her down.

At this moment, a layer of dark clouds rolled up in the sky, followed by dense clouds that continued to press down on the roof.

Dark clouds gathered over her head, and in a few moments, the rain of beans fell from the sky, and finally fell to the ground like beads with broken threads.

In an instant, the torrential rain covered the entire courtyard, and the rain became heavier and denser, smashing on the top of her head, shoulders, and limbs, and the cold breath seeped into her bones.

The sound of rain, wind, and thunder intertwined, and a bolt of lightning split the heavens and the earth in half, and then the deafening thunder came from far and near.

"Thunder? Electric flash? Am I going to be in the modern age? It's okay this way, you don't have to be forced by the two maids, urged by the two birds, and carry your head to carry out the task, let alone face Huo Zun's bastard! ”

Xia Qian looked at the lightning above her head, and there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

The rain quickly drenched her clothes and hair, and the rain on the ground flooded her knees, and she felt like she could faint at any moment.

More than a dozen maids in the east courtyard stood under the eaves and watched her from afar, some embarrassed, some disdainful, of course, at most they were watching jokes.

One or two maids couldn't help but sympathize, but their general and old lady were all out, and no one dared to go up to help her.

"Young lady!"

Yu Nuan hurried over and gave her the umbrella to cover her body.

"Take it away," Xia Qian looked at her firmly, "Otherwise, when they come back, they will make me kneel for longer!" ”

Yu Nuan thought about it, dropped the umbrella and knelt next to her on the tuyere.

Lightning struck from the sky, and thunder seemed to shatter the heart.

Xia Qian raised her head and closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the thunder that sent her back.

This action was maintained for a long time, and the neck that insisted on it was stiff, and his eyes became sour and unbearable because of the blow of the rain, and his mind was already chaotic.

Boom –

A thunderbolt exploded in her head, turning a blinding silver in front of her eyes.

Like a palace carved in ice, and to the silver-plated hall, the walls were all densely covered with Sanskrit, and a stream of blood flowed down the top of the wall, staining the black words red.

The dense text shone red, flying in this hall, like a crystal stone, more like an eye.

The blood continued to flow on the walls, and the entire hall swirled in the sky, and the words flew in the air, combining into strings of words.

Xia Qian looked at the symbols hard, and finally remembered that there were a few sentences she had seen, which were on the stone slabs in the cave of the Heavenly King's Mansion.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her heart, and she opened her eyes suddenly.

The rain was connected into a line, and the lines were spliced into a beaded curtain, falling in front of her eyes like a silver rain cloth, like a curtain like a waterfall.

Her heart ached like a knife, and she curled up with her heart and gradually fell to the ground.

Knock - Knock - Knock -

A rush of footsteps came into her ears, Xia Qian raised her eyelids, and what caught her eyes was a half-meter-high splash of water.

Immediately after, the tall and straight figure rapidly dilated in her pupils, and when she was half a step away from her, he pulled her into his arms and carried her back to the West Courtyard.

Along the way, the heartache was unbearable, and she couldn't see the expression on the other party's face clearly through the mist on her eyelashes, and she only felt that the palms of the hands holding her used a lot of strength, and her numb body felt pain when she grabbed it.

Back in the dormitory, he jumped into the bathtub with her in his arms, and the hot spring water filled with rose petals gradually made her body regain consciousness and her consciousness was slowly clear.

She grabbed the handrail on the bathtub and tried to move away from his arms, but Huo Zunhuan's arm around her waist moved, hugging her tighter.

Her body was close to collapse, and she could only give up struggling.

The rose-red petals swayed on the water, making her a little dizzy, and she calmed down, and she said with difficulty, "You shouldn't have saved me!" ”

"You just want to die like that?"

"Isn't that what you want?"

He took a deep breath, buried his face in her soaked hair, and said seriously, "I've never thought of it that way!" ”

"Didn't think about it? Then you tell me, why are you playing with my feelings? ”

"I ...... I'm sorry! ”

His deep voice came from behind her, his right hand still tightly wrapped around her waist, his head resting on the long hair at the back of her neck.

The events of the past days came to mind, and the pain in my heart faded and was replaced by endless sadness and anger.

Even though she was on the verge of collapse from exhaustion, she still desperately pinched the big hand around her waist.

He lifted his eyelids slightly, wrapped his other hand around her shoulder, and completely embraced her in his arms.

"You let go!"

She twisted and tried to slip out of his arms, but his long raised legs quickly held her in place, locked in her arms.

Carrying the scent of flowers in the bathroom, Xia Qian looked desperately at the blurred white jade wall above her head, her sour eyes were a little blurry, and her tired body was no longer able to struggle.

She bit her thin lip lightly, and tried her best to express the words that had been held in her heart for many days: "I delayed your future and made you lose the position of the master of the horse, but for this matter you humiliated me no less than four times, my maid was also beaten by you, and the sword wound on my body was also stabbed by you, I was unlucky and I confessed, saying that I seduced you and I also admitted it." If you think that I am not guilty of death, please give me a way to live and let me get out of here. Otherwise, you'll kill me with a sword, and we'll be clear!" ”

"On that day, in front of the princess, I made it very clear that it was me in the palace who was drunk and had sex and had nothing to do with you. I didn't mean to humiliate you, but I made a mistake in the moment when I stabbed you that day. But Xia Qian, I won't kill you, and I won't let you go. ”

Looking at the swaying water surface of the petals, Xia Qian's vision became more and more blurred, and crystal tears swirled in her eyes.

She closed her eyes and locked the teardrop in her eyes: "You even trampled on my feelings, isn't this revenge enough, what do you want?" ”

His fingers trembled, and he lifted his face from the back of her neck, his gaze falling on her fair cheeks, and there was a bottomless sadness in his cool eyes.

"You promised that night that you would stay with me!"

"What did you do to me at that time? Later, I was like a plague, and it was too late for you to hide. Don't you feel disgusted like this now? ”

She restrained herself for a long time, but after all, she still couldn't restrain the tears in her eyes, and the tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks and splashed pink on the rosy water.

Huo Zun looked at her silently, and another figure appeared in his mind, with similar backs and similar faces.

It's just that for the first time, he saw a look similar to that figure on Xia Qian's body.

The young figure liked to be alone, and even when he was with him, he rarely spoke.

She has an amazing memory, her brain is flexible, she wins every time she memorizes poems and plays chess, and he is very angry about winning others, and he breaks up unhappily every time.

Once, he made her cry, and when she was sad and desperate, he said cruel things that she would never see each other.

After that, she left her uncle's house.

When he saw her again a few months later, she was far away.

For the first time in four years, his ass wanted to "never see each other" with him, he panicked, chased her for a long time and said good things, but she didn't even look back.

A few days later, she sent someone to give him an orange dress and asked him to play chess again.

He only wore this dress once, that is, when he played chess with her.

That day, after a few sets in a row, she deliberately lost to him.

For the first time, he felt that he could not win, and after he went back, he practiced his chess skills hard, hoping to win her a few times.

Unfortunately, something happened to her family.

That day was an eternal farewell!

He kept it in a gilt box, treasured it for six years, and wore it only once.

The past was churning in his mind, the scene in front of him was a little blurry, his mind was chaotic, and his eyes gradually became a little moist.

He kissed the tears from her cheek, turned around, and pressed her against the wall of the tub and kissed her affectionately.

Xia Qian had tears in her eyes, and she couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, but she felt that when she was pressed against the wall of the bathtub, the cold lips quickly pressed against her own mouth flap.

When she was about to scream in surprise, his tongue quickly slid into her mouth, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but her head was fixed by a large hand.

She shoved and punched him, ignoring her resistance and only trying to get the breath between her lips and teeth.

She thought of biting his tongue in a hurry, but as soon as the trick was performed, he grabbed her chin first, and she couldn't move in pain.
