Chapter 2: The First Encounter in the Bamboo Forest
"Ripples, my child, my mother thought you would never wake up again, my mother prepared a coffin for you just now." The old woman wiped her tears from her tattered blue cloth sleeves and whimpered. Luo Lianyi tried her best to recall, it was really a coincidence, the original owner was the same name and surname as her, she remembered that her parents said that she took this name because of the lack of water in the five elements, could it be that the original owner was the same as her?
She frowned and continued to search the memory bank, and a picture appeared in her mind - a beautiful girl and a handsome boy stood on the edge of the cliff and wept, the boy said, "In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, in the earth I wish to be a branch, life and death together", the girl cried and nodded, then turned around and jumped off the cliff suddenly! When I landed on the ground, I didn't see the boy jumping down!!
"Mean boy! If you're afraid of death, don't coax other girls to die first! Luo Lianyi rushed out angrily, and in the courtyard, several villagers carrying a coffin looked at her in amazement, and automatically opened the way for her.
"Ripples! Your cousin has been crying on the edge of the cliff since you jumped off the cliff, you go and persuade him to come back, we don't blame him. The old lady said after her.
"Okay, I'll call him back." Luo Lianyi walked out of the fence courtyard, the soles of his feet were windy, ran through the potholed ridges, and entered a bamboo forest along the official road. She vaguely remembered that in the past of this bamboo forest, there was a bottomless cliff, and the original owner jumped from that cliff.
She ran ahead, but saw a team of horses flying in front of her, more than a thousand knights guarded a luxurious carriage in the middle, the sound of clattering horses' hooves raised the billowing dust and smoke to her in an instant, Luo Lianyi had never seen this formation, and hurriedly dodged and stood on the side of the road, covering his mouth to avoid them.
"Get out of here!"
"Ahh
With a muffled roar and a scream, Luo Lianyi had been whipped by the man leading the horse team and rolled down the thorns on the roadside slope.
"Hey! What the hell is this dynasty! Is there such a bully as you? Die! Die!! Luo Lianyi scolded with a cry in the thorns. The pain burned from the whip, and the thorns had torn through her clothes, and blood had been cut on her arms.
"It's really not fun in ancient times, since you sent me to cross, you should also send me to a good place, could it be that the heavens will be entrusted to me, and you have to work my mind and muscles first?!" She rose from the thorns in pain, baring her teeth and muttering.
The team stopped not far away, and the man turned his horse's head and reached her.
Luo Lianyi looked at the whip in his hand and his fierce eyes, and her heart was a little hairy, and she stood in place and stared at him with fear.
"You dare to insult my Prince Daxiling?" The man's whip was pointed at the tip of her nose.
"What about the Prince? Can the prince hit people casually? Luo Lianyi had the courage to talk back.
"You-"
"Stop!"
The man raised his whip and was about to throw it off, but was stopped by a crisp voice.
"Your Highness asked her to come over."
Luo Lianyi glanced at the person who spoke, and saw that she was dressed as a man in black, wearing a black headscarf on her head, and a long sword around her waist, but her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her voice was crisp, and she was clearly a girl. After leaning over and saying a few words to the people in the carriage, the girl instructed the man standing beside Luo Lianyi.
"I haven't gone to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The fierce man yelled at Luo Lianyi.
Luo Lianyi glanced at him, and secretly scolded "dogs fighting people", she walked towards the carriage, curious about what kind of great prince was sitting in the car.
"Your Highness, she's here." The girl in black bent down to report to the prince.
"Open the curtain and let Prince Ben see who dares to curse Prince Ben to die." A male voice came from the carriage, which was low and magnetic, and had an indescribable laziness.
The curtain was lifted, Luo Lianyi raised his eyes, and couldn't help frowning, and the carriage was too ridiculous and extravagant—a man in white turned his back to the outside, lying reclining in the arms of a woman in palace clothes with a crisp chest and half exposed on the cushion, and there were several women in the same costume kneeling on the ground, rubbing their legs and shoulders for him one by one, ignoring the situation outside.
"Why don't you kneel down and pay homage to Your Highness?" The fierce man pointed at Luo Lianyi with a horsewhip and shouted.
Luo Lianyi's eyes rolled and he stood stubbornly. The prince in the carriage waved his hand, and a lazy voice came: "Help me sit up." ”
Luo Lianyi finally saw his face, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this guy is really good-looking! Wearing a white brocade gown, tied with an agate and purple belt, it is innate and extravagant, and his facial features are handsome at 360 degrees without dead ends! The thick black sword eyebrows, the high bridge of the nose, and the thin lips that are gently pursed are angular, but the eyes, the originally good-looking eyes, are too lazy and evil in their half-squinting, and there is a faint decadence of indulging in wine.
"Xiaozhu, pick her up." He ordered the girl in black, and his tone was still lazy.
Before Luo Lianyi could react, the black-clothed girl named Xiaozhu had already stopped her waist and hugged her, and jumped into the carriage lightly, Luo Lianyi was suddenly surprised, whether it was her weight that was light enough, or this girl's strength.
"Xiaozhu, come and help me up." The prince rubbed his brow and yawned.
Luo Lianyi looked at him with the eyes of her graduated from medical university and the only heir of the century-old Luo's Medical Hall, pouted and scolded: "It must be too absurd, and I don't even have the strength to stand up, but it's a pity that I have a good body, I'm afraid that I will run out of oil in a few years." ”
Kotsuki respectfully walked up to him and helped him to his feet.
This guy is quite tall, and his chest is broad, and the space in the carriage is not too large, which makes Luo Lianyi instantly feel suppressed in an invisible aura.
His hand reached out, and a finger lifted her chin.
Luo Lianyi frowned and wanted to turn his head sideways to prevent him from staring at him so frivolously, but his fingers immediately pinched her, making her unable to move. She raised her eyes suddenly, looking at him angrily, but at this moment, she found that his lazy and decadent eyes suddenly changed, becoming heroic and powerful, so that she did not dare to continue to look at each other, she lowered her eyelids, and said in a muffled voice: "Let go of me!" ”
"Why are you blushing?" The prince's fingers actually moved to her cheek, and his voice was low and seductive.
Luo Lianyi did feel that her cheeks were hot, she reached out to hit the prince's hand in annoyance, and glared at him again, but before the hand hit, he had already grabbed it in his hand, and his eyes returned to a lazy half-squint, she couldn't help but be stunned, and even suspected that the eyes she saw before were just an illusion.
"It's so beautiful, I can't imagine that there are such beautiful women in the mountains and wilderness of Tanglin." The prince's hand strained slightly, Luo Lianyi couldn't stand and crashed into his arms, and he lifted her chin with his other hand.
