Chapter 309: Snow Rabbit Runs Out
After learning the mystery of his origin from Xia Qiu and expressing his attitude, Blackfall returned to the barren mountains north of the Demon King City. In fact, there is not only one maze path that can lead to the two corridors connecting the human world and the demon world, in addition to the maze path that leads to Ouyang's ancient mansion, there are several other ones.
One of them is often used by Qingyun and his gang, and this maze is hidden somewhere in the Yongchuan forest. And the seal that Ouyang Hongye had placed around the Yongchuan Forest was nothing more than a void for a monster of Blackfall's level. In order to fulfill the order given by Qingyun, he had come to the world through this maze more than once, but this time, although it was not ordered by him, it was undoubtedly the most meaningful.
He decides to atone for his sins, and also wants to protect Xia Qiu, a human girl who tells him the truth regardless of his past suspicions, but before then, there are still some problems that need to be solved urgently, including the traitor hiding in the royal city. Although it was not him who had met this person directly in the past, he understood that after he revealed his heart to Xia Qiu, the Demon King Fox and the others would definitely ask him about the traitor soon.
As far as he knew, the mole had recently begun to listen to Qingyun very much, and it was obvious that he wanted to break away from them. For this trump card, Qingyun naturally will not let go easily, he has always been good at using other people's weaknesses to achieve his own goals, and this person's weaknesses are so obvious. Her weakness was her daughter, so he sent someone to poison her daughter that was extremely difficult to solve, and used it to continue to control her.
Blackfall has always had a hard time understanding this person who betrayed Wang Cheng, because her husband died in the battle with Qingyun in order to protect Wang Cheng, and it stands to reason that she should hate Qingyun to the core, but she would rather betray Wang Cheng than continue to help Qingyun, which he can't figure out anyway.
When he learned about the efforts made by his parents and his fellow clansmen for him, he suddenly felt powerless, and he wanted to cut himself off, but Xia Qiu gave him a chance, so he wanted to give this person a chance as well. He wanted to talk to this person in person, on the one hand, to answer the confusion in his heart, and on the other hand, to persuade her to confess her crime to the demon king fox and others.
The terrain in the royal city was very familiar to him, and naturally included the address of that person. It didn't take much effort for him to find the location of the Sycamore Residence. It's just that the door of the Wutong Courtyard is locked, and he knocked on the door a lot without any response, and was just about to turn around and leave, but a girl's sweet voice came from inside.
"Who?"
"Ah, I'm here to find Miaoyuki!" Blackfall replied.
The door was quickly opened, and it was Snow Rabbit who stared at the tall man in the cloak in front of her, and more than half of the man's face was hidden in the hat attached to the cloak, revealing only his eyes and part of his forehead. She asked, somewhat surprised, "Are you?" ”
"You've recovered?" Kurfall immediately guessed that she was Miaoyuki's daughter, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart to see that the medicine he had given Mochizuki had taken effect.
"Do you know about my poisoning?" The little snow rabbit blinked and asked, thinking that since this person could know about her poisoning, he must be very familiar with his mother. It's just that in her impression, her mother doesn't seem to have any contact with other people, but she still lets Mochizuki into the courtyard, "Please come in!" My mother is helping me decoct medicine, you sit down, I'll call her! ”
Mochizuki was ushered into the hall to sit down, and sitting in someone else's house like this made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his body seemed a little stiff. But as soon as he sat down, Miao Xue Yu rushed in in a panic, and heard the little snow rabbit say that a strange man came to her, and her first reaction was to think that it would be a yaksha.
In order to prevent her daughter from overhearing their conversation, she ordered her before going to the hall: "Snow Rabbit, go back to your room first, and don't come out yet!" ”
She had only had a one-sided relationship with Blackfall, and it was Yaksha who had come to her in the past to ask for information or convey Qingyun's instructions, so she found out that someone had changed this time, which made her feel strange, so she asked, "How could it be you?!" ”
"I have nothing to do with Qingyun this time!" Blackfall sensed Miaoyuki's obvious resistance, and hurriedly stated his position first.
"Oh?" Miao Xue raised her eyebrows, and her face was suspicious.
Blackfall continued: "For some reason, I owe a great favor to the Demon King Fox's human blood alliance contractor, and of course to atone for my own crimes, so I decided to serve her......"
Miao Xue Yu interrupted him, and she asked with nervousness, trembling, "That little girl?" So? You've already told me about it?! ”
"Not yet!" Blackfall raised his eyes to look at Miao Xue You, and saw that she sighed deeply, "They will eventually ask me about the traitors in the royal city, but before that I have some questions for you." ”
"Needless to say, if you want to report me to ask for credit, you can go and report it, and my daughter and I will leave the royal city and go to a place where they can't find us, and never come back." Miao Xue Yu said with a lot of sweat on her forehead.
"Even if the people in the royal city can't find you, do you think you'll be safe? Qingyun will not let you go, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, he will find you. Staying in the royal city is the safest for you. Blackfall's words were no exaggeration, because he knew how important Miao Xue Yu was to Qingyun, and he knew even more how cold-blooded Qingyun was.
"You're leaving me to be caught?! I was also involved in that incident sixteen years ago, do you think the people in the royal city will let me go? Anyway, it will be impossible to escape the catastrophe. Miao Xue You's emotions became more and more excited, and she shouted regardless of it.
"If I were you, I'd rather stay in the royal city, at least here, and your daughter would be much less threatened. Last time, Qingyun only poisoned her, and did not immediately kill her, so it may not be the case in the future. ”
At the mention of Little Snow Rabbit, Miao Xueyou's momentum suddenly softened, and she said with an indifferent expression: "I have long been a walking corpse, and since I chose to embark on this path, there is no difference between life and death for me. I just couldn't put her at ease, and now it's time to let go. ”
"You want to run away on your own?" Blackfall vaguely heard what Miaoyuki meant.
"What else can I do?" Miao Xue Yu asked him rhetorically.
"Once the truth is revealed, your daughter will be in great pain. I never understand, why did you turn to Qingyun? ”
For many years, Miaoyuki has kept the past in her heart and often can't sleep, because once she falls asleep, she is likely to dream of her husband listening to the moon. She locked up everything about him, even the cups and cutlery he used, but even then, she often saw his shadow in the old mansion. This feeling broke her, but she couldn't tell anyone, and when she took the wrong step in her mind, there was no turning back, and she could only let herself continue to be wrong.
She thought that the past had been locked up along with her husband's belongings, but now they all came to her heart and pierced her heart deeply. She sat down in her chair, biting her nails, not knowing what to do.
Seeing her dilemma, and knowing that she might not be able to get an answer, Blackfall decided to leave, and said to her, "I won't tell anyone about you for a while, and you may need some time to think it through." ”
Miao Xue Yu didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Blackfall got up and pushed open the door to the living room, only to find a petite figure standing outside the door. He and Miaoyuki didn't notice when Snow Rabbit started eavesdropping on their conversation, and they didn't know how much she had heard.
"Snow Rabbit, didn't I let you go back to your room?!" Miaoyuki jumped up from her chair and asked.
The little snow rabbit took a few steps backwards and ran out of the hospital without looking back.
"Snow Rabbit, Snow Rabbit!" Miao Yuki shouted her name and chased after her.
But in the blink of an eye, the snow rabbit disappeared. Miao Xue You has always been able to forget her daughter's expression when she retreated towards the courtyard gate, her face was not only shocked, complaining, but more unfamiliar, as if she had suddenly become a person she didn't know.
And this is exactly what the little snow rabbit feels at this moment, she doesn't know anything about her mother who has been with her for sixteen years. It turned out that all the conversations between her mother and strangers she heard in her dying state were true, not only that, but her mother was also related to the death of her father and Ouyang Xiaoleng's parents, how could she accept this?
She was surrounded by fear, feeling that the whole world was no longer trustworthy, and if there was anyone else she wanted to take refuge in, it might be her uncle Mochizuki. But she knew that she couldn't go to him, because if she did, she would have completely abandoned her mother, even if her mother was a traitor to the royal city, even if she became a heinous person, she couldn't let go of the feelings she had with her, but the emotions had become too complicated, too complicated for the little her to bear. She can only flee, flee wherever she goes, and ignore these grievances for the time being.
Miao Xue returned to Wutong Residence in despair, she knew that if Snow Rabbit had the intention to avoid her, she would not be able to find her by her own strength, and she had to ask Ouyang Yong and Mochizuki for help. But until then, she had one more thing to do, and that was to confess to them all the wrongs she had committed. Snow rabbits are simple by nature, and if they wander alone, they may soon be poisoned by Qingyun. No matter how selfish she was, it was nothing compared to her daughter's safety.
Blackfall didn't expect Snow Rabbit to hear their conversation, and when he saw Miao Xue You coming back alone, her face was pale, her eyes were blank, and her arms were hanging weakly, so she persuaded her: "I will help you find her on the outskirts of the city with the wolves!" I didn't expect ...... I'm sorry! ”
"It's my own problem, I always think that I love her more than anyone else, but in fact I'm just lying to myself, it's me who killed her father, I'm sorry for her, she won't forgive me anymore...... But none of that matters, as long as she's safe! I'm going to confess everything to Elder Yong now, and beg him to protect the snow rabbit for the sake of listening to the moon!" Miao Xue Yu shook her head and said incoherently.
