He Angelica woke up, and Duan Xiaolou's handsome face was close at hand, with a pair of dark eyes, as if he had been staring at her for more than ten hours. She was dizzy, and seemed to have slept for more than a dozen hours.

She sat up jerked up, and checked to see that her clothes were intact, except that a layer of outer clothing had been removed, and that there was nothing wrong with it.

Her nervous expression stung Duan Xiaolou's eyes, he smiled silently, and asked softly, "What do you think I will do?" Do you have no credibility in your mind? There was bitterness in his voice.

She ignored Duan Xiaolou, jumped out of bed and walked around the room, and found that the furnishings of this bedroom were single and dark, much like someone's style. Looking back at the wall, there are five colorful faces, and the yellow one in the middle is hung. Isn't that ......

He Angelica exclaimed: "This is a superb home, a superb room? Why would I sleep here? ”

Looking back at Duan Xiaolou, who was still lying motionless on the bed, she noticed that his face was as pale as a piece of paper, obviously sick or injured, and she didn't see it just now. The main reason is that Duan Xiaolou had just deceived her once, and she is still very worried about it.

"Hey, how are you? Are you sick? ”

He Angelica stepped forward to inspect and found that he was not internally injured, traumatized or sick, but very weak, a symptom of massive blood loss. How did his blood come out, and where were his wounds?

Asked Duan Xiaolou, he half-closed his eyes and didn't speak, He Angelica had to start stripping him of his clothes and searching for the wound that made him bleed.

But Duan Xiaolou seemed to be afraid that she would take off his clothes, so he covered his placket and said: "I'm fine, I saw Dongchang Cao Gangzhi kidnapping children for food before, I masked my face to stop it, and I didn't want to expose my own kung fu, so I might as well eat his claws and shed a few drops of blood." ”

"Oh?" He Angelica's gaze roamed over him, "Cao Gang's straight steel claws scratched?" And what about the wound? ”

Duan Xiaolou shook his head weakly: "Lao Gao gave me the golden medicine of muscle and blood activation, you slept for a day and two nights, and my wounds have healed." ”

He Angelica nodded, there was still an indescribable weirdness in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was weird.

Why didn't Duan Xiaolou let her take off her clothes? Why is there still a bit of sadness in his expression? He slept with her, but he was surprisingly polite, could it be him...... It's already "not good", could it be that Cao Gang scratched that part of him!

He Angelica suddenly turned this thought in his mind, immediately lifted the thin quilt, and proved that her idea was wrong with her actions!

Huh?

That part of him is still there! Then why is he so sad, his eyes are full of life and death?

"Girl, what are you doing?" Duan Xiaolou stared at He Angelica's pair of snow-white hands in disbelief, unable to believe that she had done such a thing. What is this. Is she teasing him?

He Angelica didn't care about taking care of Duan Xiaolou's thoughts, and just wanted to find something abnormal in him. He likes her deeply, but he doesn't want her to look at his body, there must be a secret hidden in it that belongs to Duan Xiaolou alone......

"Don't be like this, girl," Duan Xiaolou protested softly, "You girl's house, what are you doing on me." I told you that I'm fine, just get some more sleep, and if you don't believe me, you can ask Gao Jue, and he's in the outer room. ”

Duan Xiaolou still refuses to share a room with her? It's even more problematic.

Braided Bei's teeth bit her red lip lightly, her heart sank, ignoring Duan Xiaolou's struggle, and stripped his clothes naked. The upper body is bare, and the lower body is only a pair of shorts, and then what does she see!

Whip marks!

On Duan Xiaolou's back, there are countless overlapping whip marks! The red, the crimson, the long, the short, the new, and the old whip marks, are the scars of the years, stacked one after the other, and I can't count how many there are! How so?

As a doctor, she knows very well what kind of scars will always appear crimson after they are healed. It was a terrible mark left by the whipping of the flesh and the pouring of salt water on the back, and the pain left by the bone-piercing pain. Why on earth is this happening?

Countless possibilities turned in her mind in an instant, Duan Xiaolou had been imprisoned?

No, she gave a negative answer. Duan Xiaolou has a noble status and is deeply relied on by the emperor, who dares to do this to him?

His gaze shifted from his scarred back to his bloodied face, and into his bewildered eyes. A sour sensation spread through her nose and she asked softly, "Why?" Who did such a thing to you, why was that person so cruel, why didn't you tell me earlier, why didn't you say anything. ”

Her shoulders trembled involuntarily, and rolling tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she covered her mouth and nose to keep herself from crying too loudly. Facing such a pale and haggard Duan Xiaolou, her sadness took away all her mind.

Duan Xiaolou raised his arm and pulled her into his warm and firm chest, speaking in a tone that seemed to be sighing.

"Silly boy, what are you crying about, it's an old injury from many years ago, and I'm afraid that you will be frightened when you see it, so I won't let you and me take off your clothes. Who made you so naughty. Don't cry, it's ugly, and it's even uglier when you cry. ”

He Danggui cried and fell on his chest, crying out of breath, the movement alarmed Gao Jue outside, and as soon as he came in, he heard Duan Xiaolou's last words.

With a poisonous tongue, he refused to let go of this opportunity to tease, and said coldly: "Such an ugly girl, what are you doing and trying your best to take him out of Yanwang's mansion, and after leaving the mansion, you ran into Cao Gangzhi eating children." You have a cumbersome ugly girl in your hand, and you have to be nosy, and you almost lost your life. ”

"What's going on? Why did Duan Xiaolou become so weak? He Angelica sat up with a sob, looking at Gao Jue with teary eyes.

Gao Jue calmly told the whole story.

It turned out that at that time, Duan Xiaolou put He Angelica on the stone lion, and fought with Cao Gangzhi who was hundreds of zhang away, and successfully saved the child who had not been bitten to death, and seriously injured Cao Gangzhi with another palm, and he was going to send him to the west with the next palm. Cao Gang, who was in a state of madness, showed a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, and suddenly found He Angelica on the back of the stone lion, and wanted to pull her to be buried with him.

Duan Xiaolou was horrified, and flew to why Angelica blocked the fatal claw, but Cao Gang scratched his heart and lungs, blood splattered everywhere, and he saw that he was dead.

Cao Gangzhi's bewitching face was distorted and distorted, grinning and revealing a mouthful of blood-red teeth, and he grinned and raised his Senhan steel claws high. As long as his claw falls, Duan Xiaolou and He Angelica will join hands with Huangquan Road. Duan Xiaolou vomited blood and was powerless to return to the sky.

At this time, an unexpected person appeared.

That person is Qi Xuanyu, the son of Tianji.

He shook out the long sword at his waist and slashed Cao Gangzhi in two from the middle, resulting in the life of the man-eating demon king. Blood drenched him, making him look like a demon king.

Duan Xiaolou didn't know whether he was friend or foe, and begged him to return He Angelica to Meng Xuan at the moment of his death, and was willing to use the Xuanwu key entrusted to him by the emperor and the wealth of the Duan family as a reward. Unexpectedly, Qi Xuanyu took out a pack of colorful medicinal powder from his bosom and saved Duan Xiaolou's life with a silver needle.

That kind of mysterious and mysterious, especially He Angelica's healing technique, saved Duan Xiaolou in just a quarter of an hour, healed the fatal wound on his chest, and didn't even leave half a scar. It's just that Duan Xiaolou drained half of the blood in his body before and after, and he had to recuperate for half a month before he could move.

Gao Jue, who came one step later, happened to take over Duan Xiaolou, who couldn't move all over, and He Angelica, who had a sweet sleeping face.

Qi Xuanyu left a sentence, "He is much more infatuated than me, I am ashamed of myself." He threw a letter to Gao Jue and asked him to pass it on to He Angelica. Then, Qi Xuanyu's wide robe fluttered and went straight to the city gate.

Gao Jue asked him where he planned to go, and he said that he would go to sea to find Penglai Immortal Mountain, and he would not return to Middle-earth in his lifetime, and he did not want to see any old people again.

Qi Xuanyu left the Central Plains? He Angelica was stunned for a while, and vaguely remembered the story of a little brother who was old-fashioned and warm-hearted many years ago, in the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, and was accompanied by a little girl with a disfigured face.

The picture of those stories was completely blurred, except that there was an ivy swing, and two children who had no guesses sat on it and rocked it......

His gaze was scattered, and he reunited, still falling on the scar on Duan Xiaolou's back.

He Angelica looked pleadingly at Gao Jue, who was as tall as a door god, and asked sadly: "Tell me, why did he do this, and who used such cruel methods on him?" He's a good guy, and I don't believe anyone would have such a deep hatred for him. ”

Duan Xiaolou was behind He Angelica, and shook his head gently at Gao Jue, not letting him talk nonsense.

Gao Jue pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, telling the cruel truth: "The most cruel person is you, Angelica, it was you who first promised to want him, and then suddenly didn't want him, he couldn't stand the blow, so he made himself like this." ”

He Angelica was shocked and muttered to himself: "Impossible, you lied to me, how did he whip his back by himself, I don't believe it, you must have lied to me." ”

"It's a well-known thing, why should I lie to you?" Gao Jue snorted coldly, "That year, Duan Xiaolou's downcast appearance when he came back from Yangzhou, all of us saw it. He gave up on himself, swallowed a bottle of dumb medicine, changed his appearance, and mingled among the prisoners tortured by Jinyiwei, and asked his subordinates to take turns whipping his back without knowing it, trying to forget you in this way. But as you can see, he still can't forget it. ”

He Angelica is stunned.

The truth, the truth turned out to be so, such a merciless terrible truth.

She never imagined that Duan Xiaolou would treat her like this, she always thought that his love was as sweet as his person, like honeysuckle tea with honey, and drank it in one go, the sweet taste was left between her teeth, and the cooling effect was retained. Then, she is her, Duan Xiaolou is Duan Xiaolou, and everyone buries such a past in their hearts, and it will be complete.

She couldn't imagine that the perfection she thought she thought was actually exchanged for Duan Xiaolou's incompleteness and self-harm.

She is just a selfish and cowardly little woman, how can she make Duan Xiaolou so obsessed with it, and love her with his whole life and all his life?

Now, when this heavy and fiery love is all spread out and displayed in front of her, how should she reciprocate, how to respond to those deep and desperate eyes. At this moment, she was full of cowardice, and she didn't dare to turn around and look at Duan Xiaolou's black eyes.

She didn't deserve it at all.

She didn't even deserve his heart.
