Chapter 62: The Most Poisonous Is the Human Heart
The cold wind rolled up the curtains on the carriage and blew on Xia Qian's face one after another.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The sky was a little dark, and the mountains in the distance were stained with a glow.
"It's dark, and I've been sleeping for so long?"
She touched her forehead, remembering what had happened before she fell asleep, the muffled voice of the coachman, and the wicked laughter.
Xia Qian's shoulders trembled suddenly, she looked closely at her body, and saw that the clothes on her body were intact, she exhaled a long breath and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.
There was no one around, except for a faint green smoke from a dying bonfire.
Xia Qian looked around and found himself standing on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by faint trees, which looked a little scary.
An ominous premonition came over her, and she followed the trail of the carriage to find her way down the hill, when a loud voice came from behind her as she opened her legs.
"Don't you want to see the most beautiful sunrise in the world?"
The voice was familiar, not cold, but low and magnetic, and you didn't have to turn around to know it was him.
Compared to the coachman, she knew she was out of danger.
"Why are you here?"
She didn't look back, she just asked lightly.
In fact, she regretted it as soon as the words came out, if he wasn't here, she didn't know where she was at the moment?
She grew up with TV dramas, she is not an ignorant woman and child, and she is not unheard of the adulterous laughter of the coachman.
It's just that she pinned her hopes on the wrong person again and again, and she suddenly felt that she was ridiculous.
Lu Jingheng said in the palace that he would marry her, and the Qingtian Palace's mansion said to help her, but in the end it became completely empty words.
In Liuyun Pavilion, when he offered to let her be her internal response in the General's Mansion, she felt that she had seen through him.
If he risked his life to save him in the Fahuasi Temple, and braved the heavy rain at night to deliver medicine, she would naturally not believe him again.
On that day, on the shore of Qingshui Lake outside the west of the city, his words were sincere, his smile was as gentle as jade, and she even had a ripple in her heart about his early death.
He said that he sent her to a safe and comfortable place to live peacefully, and she thought that she could live a peaceful life as a small people, but she was actually sent to the evil coachman.
The bottom of her heart is desperate, her mind is sad and angry, although she can't cry or laugh when she has a mental breakdown, it is obviously better to laugh and cry than to cry heartbreakingly.
Because, at this moment, she expected that the person behind her was waiting to see her joke.
"Laugh if you want to, save internal injuries!" She spoke hard, trying not to let the tears slip from her eyes.
"I want to laugh, but not so much that I can't hold back the internal injuries!"
Huo Zun said and pulled her to the bonfire, picked up a piece of roasted rabbit leg and handed it to Xia Qian, and added some new firewood to the bonfire that was about to be extinguished.
"Do you know why I'm happy?" He smiled and handed the water to her, "That person who was busy working from Fahua Temple to Qinglong City tossed for more than a month, and finally chose to break off love, leaving the opportunity to me, a person who broke his intestines and hurt his liver." Do you think I should be happy? ”
Hearing his hearty laughter, Xia Qian glanced at him in surprise.
With his character, he either humiliated her with cynicism, or froze her into an ice sculpture with a thousand years of cold, or crushed her with his cruel and ruthless temperament.
Since he was able to chase here, it was obvious that his escape had already been revealed, and I am afraid that he had already known it clearly.
She laughed self-deprecatingly, and turned her head just in time to meet his once-in-a-millennium smile.
Although this smile is not gentle, it is by no means a mockery, but a joy from the heart.
Xia Qian paused and took the kettle in his hand.
"Because you have him in your heart, I gave him a chance that he himself did not know and cherished. He has always had such an opportunity twice, when the emperor pointed out marriage, he gave up love for fame and altruism, this time, for the good future of the Lu family, he sold you for five thousand taels of silver. ”
"Five thousand taels?" Xia Qian sneered, "It seems that I'm quite valuable!" ”
"It's okay! The better girl in Liuyun Pavilion, five thousand taels is not enough for a year! Seeing Xia Qian glancing at him fiercely, Huo Zun continued to laugh, "But the young lady of our Zhenguo General's Mansion, this price is indeed less!" ”
Although Huo Zun's words were a little lacking, they did not pierce her heart, and since she saw him just now, the other party's face did not have that cold and lonely feeling.
This made Xia Qian, who was once sad, angry, desperate, and even collapsed, not so uncomfortable at the moment.
"Blue pine roasted rabbits, my housekeeping craft, try it!" He raised the rabbit leg and smiled at her.
The meat is very tender, and the heat is also very well handled, but no matter how good the food is, Xia Qian has no thoughts.
"You've been hungry for a day and a night, and you really don't want to eat?"
"One day and one night?"
Xia Qian looked at him dumbfounded, the light around him was much brighter, and the glow on the distant mountain turned pink at this moment, and the sky and earth had already revealed the white of the fish's belly.
Only then did she realize that it was dawn at the moment.
After she was drugged, she slept unconscious for more than a dozen hours.
If Huo Zun hadn't been with her for more than ten hours, she would have been worse than Xingping.
"Huo Zun, thank you!"
"Instead of thanking you, it's better to eat a few more pieces of meat, otherwise, I roasted you for half a day, and I lost face!"
Xia Qian took the meat and tasted it, her eyes fell on the morning glow of the distant mountains, and the expression on her face became firm.
"I want to see what kind of place he's going to sell me to?"
Huo Zun glanced at him in surprise and chuckled, "It's not very bad, but it's enough to make you break your thoughts." That place is not far from here, and if you really want to see it, I can accompany you on a trip, and by the way, let them know that the young lady of our General's Mansion was not bought by them. ”
Hearing this, Xia Qian stood up and prepared to walk towards the carriage.
"Hey! Such a beautiful sunrise, you really don't want to see it? Huo Zun looked at her in surprise.
She paused and glanced at the morning glow, a touch of sadness in her eyes.
"There are two things in this world that are best not to be seen, one is the sun and the other is the human heart. The former looked sad, and the latter sad. ”
Huo Zun was stunned, looking at her thin figure, his face was as quiet as a lake, and there was a touch of tenderness on his face.
"Xia Qian, the sun is dazzling in the daytime, because it wants to illuminate the world, when the earth sleeps, it will gently light up the clouds in the sky, leaving the morning clouds and sunset for important people. I've been there these days, but you can't feel it! ”
Her long eyelashes twitched a few times, and her gaze fell on the red light behind Pink.
The red light grew brighter and brighter, piercing through the clouds, dyeing the surrounding clouds from pink to rosy and finally to bright red, like dressing the endless mountains in a thousand miles of red makeup.
This color is the only color she saw when she sat in the sedan chair on the day she got married, which was very festive and beautiful.
She didn't like red very much before, but when she sat in the sedan chair that day and saw the overwhelming red, she was happy in her heart.
Because, she felt that she was married to Lu Jingheng, who was as gentle as jade.
But when she saw this scene again today, she was only glad in her heart, glad that she didn't marry him, and she was lucky that she wasn't sold by him.
Fate, playing one joke after another on her, each time sent her to the Infernal Hell when the dawn was about to come.
The morning sun in front of her soon pierced through the clouds to illuminate the world, but the light had nothing to do with her.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Simon!" Huo Zun pulled her up and walked towards the carriage.
